Wow

So, I feel kinda bad because my posts have been so short recently. I haven't really had much to say. I'm uberly excited about going home for Christmas, especially getting to babysit my niece for a whole day. We're going to have walking lessons in the mall with all the crazy holiday shoppers, and if Leslie is working, I'm gonna let Clair play in her Target. I'm sure I'll come up with more silly things for Clair and I to do during the day, and if Liz is lucky, we'll fit in some nappie time, but I really wouldn't count on it.

Andrew is gonna get me set up with some picture space too. I hope to have a psuedo ordering thing so that if there is a picture you like, I can get it to ya. I'm still working on getting those wedding pictures sent out to everyone. Sorry it's taking so long.


Am I greedy?

Addition to Wish List

I went out shopping today, and I wanted to add the following to my Christmas list:

Indoor/Outdoor digital thermometer


So, that's all I can think of right now... more updates to come

Christmas Shopping

Today was the day I was going to start my Christmas shopping. My goal is to finish all of my Christmas shopping by Thanksgiving, so that I can get all of my packages out on the Horner express to the big KY, but alas, I spent over $200 and I am still without any holiday cheer or presents for that matter. But Lestat should be happy with two new tires.

Birthday

Today, I was queen. Kinda boring, but good. Thanks to JoJo who sent me a lot of love through her away message! And thanks to Karen for remembering too! I bought a little carrot cake and a candle and Andrew sang happy birthday to me over the phone. It was great! Tomorrow I get my first hearing test since elementary school. Good times!

Addict

I have now become addicted to "Desperate Housewives." Thanks to Johanna, I have now dedicated a hour of each Sunday to this show. But what am I going to do when between 8pm and 9pm I am on the road somewhere between Madison and Wisconsion Dells? I wonder if I can get it on the radio... old skool it up! If anyone could record it for me, that would be great!

Next Sunday, 8pm central time ABC

Someone help me out!

To the Polls!

Tomorrow all of the stupid ads will be coming off my television. What ever will the networks do with all that free time? A few things that have been puzzling me during all of this campaigning....
Two of the issues that the Democrats have been pushing are that
1) They want to get lower cost prescriptions from Canada and
2) More high-tech and better paying jobs for Americans.

Now let's think about this... So we start getting our prescription drugs from Canada, this means that Canadians are making the drugs. Canadians are getting the jobs. There are about 14,000 chemist working for pharmaceutical companies in the US, making $32,000 to $71,000/yr. That sounds like a "high tech and better paying job" that we're shipping out to Canada. And that's just chemist. What about managers, hourly workers, sales, logistics, etc?

And I have one last beef... And it's with Ms. Patty Wetterling. How many times must you call me? And if you're going to harass me, don't list your number.... It makes it really hard for me not to just call you up and solicit something from you. Goodness, I'm not even registered! Speaking of which... I need someone to vouch for me tomorrow.

What were the words again?

Last night I was watching SNL... and as we all know, it's gotten pretty bad. But, like an idiot, I watched on. Eminem was on doing his little rap thingie and I noticed a few things. First, the man can't dance at all. He just stood there kinda bouncing, every once in a while removing his right hand from his crotch, waving it around, only to return to protecting his manhood or something. Another interesting thing I noticed is that he was constantly looking at the little monitors that give him the words to the song. Doesn't he write his own songs? I think I would have prepped a little more. Hell, he was even reading during the chorus. I don't understand. Just because you're famous doesn't mean you shouldn't at least try to work at your job.

Laundry

I'd just like to say that I love the smell of clean laundry! As soon as I pull those clean fluffy towels out of the dryer, I like to rub them all over my face and just breathe in the fresh scent. And I think even more, I love the smell of a bleached white load. It's like freshness to the x power! If only I could figure out how to run the dryer all day without eating up my electricity and shrinking my clothes, I would be an amazingly happy girl!

Waxing

I waxed my legs for the second time in my life tonight. One thing that I highly recommend is to putting baby oil on first... it keeps from pulling up the skin. All in all it worked pretty well, but I'm not very good with getting everything yet... so still some spots to shave. I know this is probably TMI for lots of people, but you choose to read on!

No Love!

So there haven't been any requests for more blogs links to be added to my sidebar. I feel so unloved! Is there no one who wants to be associated with my blog? Is it really that bad?

Johanna loves me! She's been here since Friday, and we have made sure that we have laughed loudly everywhere we go, informing people that only hookers should be buying the hot pink shoes and that some ladies are just way too old to be shopping in some stores. And why the hell would you have someone looking at rings try on the yellow ones? I'm not even an expert and I could tell that the color of the diamonds were at least an H. Silly Barbie sales lady. And no, I'm not expecting anything. Nothing. Zip.

Sunday, October 03, 2004

New Feature

Andrew hooked me up with a "Links" section on my sidebar so now I can link to everyone else's blogs. If you want your blog linked to mine, just leave the address and a name in the comments section and I'll add it in when I get time, so probably within 2-3 hours. :) Andrew is also going to let me have some space on his server, so I'll be able to post pictures when my scanner gets here. Uber excited about that one.

No need to worry

So my dear mother asked me, "What's this deal with the hole in your hand?" The complete story is as follows:

As I was leaving work on Monday, I tryed to stop the door from slamming behind me and I was so successful that I got my finger stuck in the door. Now these are some seriously heavy metal doors. My nail immediately started to turn blue and hurt like nothing I can recall in recent memory. I tried to run it under cold water, but was unable to get the water cold enough. I felt like crying. I drove home and put ice on it just to numb it. I then called a nice lady at UHC Nurse-line, to make sure that I was doing the right things. She said that it just sounded like I would lose the nail in 2-3 weeks, but if I experienced trobbing pain and swelling and if my finger was hot, then I needed to go to a doctor. By Wed, I had all of the symptoms, so I went to the "doctor" ie, the internet, and found this

A hole

I now have a hole in my nail. I should become a doctor with my candle, needle, cotton ball and 70% rubbing alcohol. Would you trust me?

Please pardon the emptiness

There will be a lacking of posts for at least the next week due to an injury on one of my right hand digits. When the posts return, it means that I didn't need surgery.

Smartest girl alive!

Strangeness

We all have that one person in our lives that will never do what you think he or she should do. In any given situation, you will expect one thing, and then 5 minutes later, you'll be left wondering, "What just happened?" My only hope for you is that when that 5 minutes hits you, you're not stranded in a strange city at 2 am waiting for a cab with people trying to hit on you and take you home. And my advice for all of those seniors out there... find jobs in herds. Be a sheep, move to Indy.

Picking up Girls

I went out with the Boy's coworkers last night. We did a little bar hopping, (and when I say a little, I mean a little... Officially we only hopped once) and the last bar we went to had awesome tater tots. I know Jackie is saying, "What the hell? There's no such thing as even close to good tater tots!" But they were by far the best tater tots that have ever touched my mouth. Hot, fresh, dipped in hot nacho cheese..... Ummm... my mouth is watering just thinking about it. However, I'm not so sure that it was the actual tater tot, or the fact that I had a bit too much to drink. At any rate, one of the guys was distributing these tater tots to hot chicks that were walking by.... my favorite quote from last night... "Yeah, she was really eyeing my tater tots."

Top Ten Reasons

Here are the Top Ten Reasons Why Audra should come live with me:

10. Minnesota has some good places for her to learn how to ski
9. She could teach the Minnesotians about real Southern Hospitality, not this "Minnesota Nice" shit
8. 672.12 miles closer to Utah
7. Columbo will have fun in the snow.
6. She would get to live with me! :)
5. Free Rent!
4. Fondue every night!
3. Crafting after work
2. We could start planning our flower shop
1. We would tear up the town!!!

Offer's still on the table!

To the high school boys standing outside JoAnn's

Yes, I did hear you call me ugly.
Yes, I did see you at Michael's.
Yes, I do think you're gay, especially for dressing alike.
And yes, your manhood could have been salvaged if you had moved 20 yards down to the Sportsmart to wait for your ride.

* For real men, Michael's and JoAnn's are both craft stores. You know, with girlie things.

Ha Ha FE, you've been mofoed!

As almost all engineering students fear, at the end of their senior year, we take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. Well, I got a letter Saturday from the state of Indiana saying that passed it with a 74. Now, I have no idea if that's good or not, all I know is that I passed. I celebrated with a Snak Pak. The next question is, do I go on to get my PE??

SNAP!

DoubleSpeak

So as I was booking a flight on-line today, I noticed that Orbiz has a "Gay Travel" section. To preface the rest of this post, I have nothing against gays, lesbians, and bisexuals. I'm a very much "to each his/her own" and "whatever floats your boat" type of person. Now that's out of the way, I don't understand this. Homosexuals have been avocating equal rights, and that they just want to be treated like everyone else. So why do they get their own travel section? If they get a travel section, then I want one labeled, "Yuppie Travel." And while we're at it, I want a Yuppie Pride Parade. And I want to put a green oval on the back of my car, signifying my yuppieness. And in this gay travel section, do they get better discounts to places like Boston, New Hampshire and Hawaii? Do they actually check your sexual preference, or could I pose as a lesbian and get the trip to Hawaii half off? Do you think I could get discounted travel to Seattle?

Spiderman 2

I went with Andrew to see this movie a couple of days ago. I thought it was an excellent movie.... it kinda brings you up to speed with what's going on in the world. Did you know that there is an elevated line through all of Manhanttan? And, if a professor ever asks you what the eigen values are, just answer "2.6 mV" And if your fusion reaction ever goes out of control, just dunk it in water.... no matter that if it's huge that it will cause the river to boil and evaporate and increase the ocean temperature about 10 degrees, killing many of the organisims that live there. I don't believe in suspension of disbelief.

Minnesotans suck

While trying to turn in my rent check...

I didn't have the little thingie that they gave me to get into the front door of the leasing office, so I thought, "I'll just go in through the pool area." So I walk over to the pool gate, and while I was there, fiddling with my keys, there were about 5 people inside the gate just watching me. I still couldn't get in after the sprinklers came on, so these people were just there watching me get wet and not getting into the pool area. Yet another example of why Minnesotans suck.

Excuse me! Would you like to take a survey?

Is it more important to like your job, or to like where you live?

Will it ever end?

I don't think I will ever finish unpacking. It's been 8 days since I started, and I I think I have about 4 more days to go until everything is in it's place. I don't like unpacking, so it's very easy for me to get distracted and on to other things. As I am unpacking, I'm also doing lots of sorting. I realized that if I'm going to be moving a lot, I'm not going to want to pack and unpack things that aren't important to me. So if there's something you've had your eye on, let me know and I may be able to let it go. :)

As an update, I didn't ask anyone to the parade, I went alone, got rained on, took some pictures, walked a mile to my car, got lost in Uptown, and finally made it back to my comfee bed. I also got lost yesterday morning walking around my neighboorhood. It took me about an hour to find my way home. Story of my life.

Wednesday, July 21, 2004

A question

I'm going downtown tonight to see a parade, and I was faced with a dilemma. Do I go alone and try to enjoy it, or do I ask someone at work and risk rejection.

hmmm

Voting Update

The "facts" about the presidential candidates.

Thursday, July 08, 2004

Where did they go?

So, I noticed today. On any given day, I never see the following establishments:
McDonald's
Taco Bell
KFC
Wendy's
Burger King

I thought those were staples in this day and age. No wonder I have to cook every night. :)

Neck Pains

So, this whole sleeping on an air mattress has finally gotten to me. I can't move my head to the right without getting pain through my neck. I think I also strained a muscle in my back that hurts when I breathe. That's breathe, not sneeze. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I hope you're not in America. :) Good ole sneaky Bush. Silly silly man. But ya know, I can't really complain because I didn't vote during the last election. Yes, I am apart of that eleventy billion percent of americans between the ages of 18 and 35 who doesn't vote.... yet. I should work on that though now that I have a new home state. I'll keep ya posted.

Friday, June 25, 2004

So... I'm here in Minneapolis and I feel like I'm on some sort of camping trip. My apartment is almost completely bare. I'm sleeping on an air mattress and right now I'm sitting at my computer which is on top of a Rubbermaid container. Kinda sad. People at work keep asking me, "Well, at least you have a TV." Actually, no, I don't. But a guy at work is going to let me borrow his until I get around to purchasing one. He's from New Jersey. Current score: Yankees 1, Minnesotians 0. But I'm off to St. Louis this weekend for a wedding, so people down there will be normal and I'll get a break from all of this.

Oh, and if you were wondering, yes, it was 48 degree (F) this morning when I woke up at 5 am. And I don't think we broke 70. I really thought it was supposed to be summertime.


***Disclaimer***
If you are from Minnesota, you are not classified under the "mean people" category until you try to run me over with your cart at the local Cub Foods or Target
*********

Sunday, June 20, 2004

So, everyone who told me that people in Minnesota are "so nice" are liars. I've decided that Minnesota is not part of the Midwest, (I don't know if anyone else considers it to be), but part of this not being classified as a part of the Midwest is the lack of the "Midwest hospitality."

To the girl at the Grocery store who wouldn't let me out of my parking spot, I hope you get ear cancer from your cell phone.

For everyone at the Grocery store who ran me down without saying "Excuse me" or "sorry", I hope your chicken has salmonella.

For the guy who wouldn't hold the door for the girl with the huge cart of groceries, I hope you fall off your motorcycle.

RAHR!

Adventures in shopping....

So yesterday I bought a sofa and chair at a furniture outlet, and then today I saw a similar sofa and chair advertised at the same furniture store (but not the outlet), for way cheaper. So I call the sales guy and said, look, I want that other price. He said, ummm....NO. So I drove out there, talked to a way nice woman associate, and she got me an awesome deal on the advertised sofa and chair, that come with the manufacturer's warranty (the outlet stuff didn't), and the furniture is a little higher quality, and it came out to be $120 cheaper. I highly recommend her. So moral of the story, don't always go to the outlet first, and if you're going to Becker Furniture, ask for Kristi, but she doesn't work Mondays, Tuesdays, or Wednesdays.

Friday, June 18, 2004

Here's a riddle for ya...

A father and his two sons are walking in the Target parking lot. They see a young lady struggling with a cart and a step ladder. Suddenly, a gust of wind comes by and blows the receipt out of one of her bags. She tries to pull the cart over and put everything down. Now, which of the men helps her?

Answer: None of them. They just watch her as she chases her cart and the receipt across the parking lot.

Another thing I learned about Minnesota... no one says "Excuse me." They just barge by. And where there should be a 2-way stop or a light, there is a 4-way stop. Kinda silly

Wednesday, June 16, 2004

Real conversation I just had with my mom.

Me: Hey Mom, is one of the news anchors pregnant?
Mom: The one in the red?
Me: Yeah.
Mom: I thought she just had a baby not too long ago.
Me: She looks pregnant.
Mom: Maybe it's a re-run.

Maybe you shouldn't be taking care of Clair....

Monday, June 14, 2004

With all this moving stuff, I haven't had a chance to blog, and I really don't have time to do it now, I just wanted to leave everyone with this moment of wisdom from my brother:

"I don't understand women. How can a vagina bleed for a week and not die?!?!"

Thursday, June 10, 2004

I have an apartment!

I signed a lease on Tuesday for my new apartment in Minneapolis! It's a two bedroom, so I have lots of room for everyone who wants to come and visit me. I will be moving next week, probably around Wednesday or Thursday. I start my job next Monday. I'm rather nervous because my manager said that when he moved, it took 2 months before the moving company delivered his stuff. So I think for a while I will be sleeping on my couch (which I will buy sometime next week), and eating out, a lot. But I'm super excited about all of it!

Friday, May 21, 2004

So, on May 26th, with the $180 I don't have, I'm flying to Vegas to start the eloping plan with my pet freshman. However, I have to start work on June 21st, so the trip to Europe and Antartica and such will have to wait. Pet freshman is going to quit school (if it's not against his religion) and he'll be moving to Minneapolis with me and keeping the apartment clean and playing with our springer spaniel.

Until then, I'm going to Chicago on Monday. I'm way excited about it!

And, I'm watching "Blues Brothers" for the first time... pretty crazy.

Wednesday, May 19, 2004

I GOT A JOB!

I finally got a job. It's with GAF Materials and I will be moving to Minneapolis in the middle of June. If you know the Minneapolis area, please tell me where I should live. I'm hoping to have a super cool apartment (maybe not as cool as Andy's), but people should come visit me since I will be lonely in a far away place...

Damn Polyshits

So, I wear something called "PolyBands" in my hair. Think of the traditional hair band, you know, the elastic with thread around it, but only more so like a clear rubberband. About 4 years ago, I started using these after I noticed that my hair was breaking from being in a ponytail. These are supposed to be gentler and everything. But the one thing I have noticed is that they break after every other use. And it's not like they break while I'm trying to put them in my hair... no... they break when I'm sitting down, minding my own business, and then snap... there goes the band, and my hair comes tumbling down. I know my chicas out there can relate to this... When I have my hair up, it's because it looks like crap in the first place, but now, I have no way to pull it back, making it look like uber crap. Damn you hairband company.. I blame all of my bad hair days on you!

No Comment...

I would really like people to comment, but I've been told that my blogs are not comment worthy. I just feel like there is no love. If you love me, then you'd comment anyway. For all of you non-commenters... I hate you.

Thursday, April 29, 2004

So, I went to the library to get a book on infrared photography. Needless to say, the library here has an extreme lacking of artsy books, so I'm off to the State University to get the books I need. But I'm way excited about taking infrared pictures!

Tuesday, April 27, 2004

Excuse me... I'd like to announce my life plan!
I will be marrying my pet freshman in Vegas. I'll be taking Audra as a witness, and I don't know who my pet freshman is taking. After getting married, we will be going to England, Germany, Prague, Greece and then Antarctica. After returning from a little globe trotting, he will continue school while we live in a white house on Ohio Street with our dog, a Springer spaniel named Corky. More life plans to come!

So, I have this comment thingie... And people don't make any comments. I want to know if people are actually reading what I'm writing here, but I don't want to go all out tool and stalker. So if you visit, leave me a note. You can even leave posting suggestions. That would be cool.

Friday, April 23, 2004

So, a friend of mine, Jackie, wants to be a flight attendent once she has enough money to live on for the rest of her life. I don't know if she realizes that she can't do this. I just flew out to Jersey and back to good ole IN, and there was one thing I noticed about all the flight attendents. The standard uniform is a navy blue suit (skirt suit for most women), and black shoes. I think Jackie would rather die than to commit such a fashion no-no. I'm sorry if I crushed your dreams Jackie.

Wal-Mart SUCKS! And they hate children, especially children with cancer. There are children dying from cancer, and Wal-Mart won't let us have our annual Teeter-Totter-A-Thon at their Terre Haute location even though they've been telling us for months that it would be fine. DAMN YOU!

Monday, April 12, 2004


So, someone asked me... who is this "Flowershop Buddy"? Well, she is one of my sorority sisters who is now roommates with Andrew and when we get old, we're going to own a flowershop. In this flowershop, we're going to serve fondue, chocolate fondue. And while people are eating the fondue and picking out their flowers, we're going to tell stories of our college years. And every Saturday, we're going to go get our hair done. The only reason why we're still in school is to earn the capital when we get out!

Monday, April 05, 2004



It's that time of the year again. The Gamma Pi chapter of Delta Delta Delta will be holding their annual Teeter-Totter-A-Thon on April 23rd and 24th. The women of Tri Delta will be teeter-tottering in front of the Terre Haute Wal-Mart for 24 hours in order to raise money for Children's Cancer Charities, and more specifically, Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis, IN. At Riley, children are treated no matter if they have the money or insurance to pay for the care they receive.

If you would like to donate to this wonderful cause, please leave your e-mail address as a private post and I will be able to get information to you.

Thank you for caring.



Still looking for a job... Maybe one in Chicago... Anyone wanna help me out?

My Niece, the GLO-Worm...



So, I don't know if only short people notice this, but the toilets in the handicap stalls are way taller than normal toilets. I don't know why, and I'm not sure if I want to, but I do know that when I sit down on a designated "handicap" toilet, I can't touch the ground, not even if I'm wearing super tall shoes. Something kinda interesting.

"Don't pinch me! I'm cute!"
Thank you Andrew

So, I'm not sure what happened to the picture... I'll work on it. Ok, so if by "I'll work on it" I really mean that I'll bug the boy until something is done... and maybe eventually I'll even get a comment's thingie or more pages...

Maybe...

That's baby Clair... Cutest Niece in the whole world!

Thursday, March 25, 2004

I found out today that people think that I am imaginary. I don't know if I understand all of that. I mean, I'm sick one day, so I'm not in class or at rehearsal, and all of a sudden, I'm imaginary. I guess that's what I get.

I really don't like being sick. It's not good times.... it's bad times.... and of all things, it's my throat. I may have to utilize my understudy for the performance on Friday. Yes, me, the nameless one, has an understudy!

Come see the show...
Yay Brigadoon!

Monday, March 22, 2004

I'm not sure how long the link will work, but go check out the cutest little girl ever!
Baby!

Beaucoups defined:

Big Beaucoups=(Infinity)*($TEXAS)+(Threeve)-(negative elevinty billion)

Yes, I'm dating a math major.

It's kinda like dressing up for a formal only to arrive with only 2 couples left. Or discovering that the sword is mighter than the pen. Or ordering bourbon as a mixer for gin. Or exiting the stage before your dance number.

But I just found out a most disturbing information. My boyfriend was turned on by Tim Hunt in a kilt. Maybe my boyfriend needs one of those crotch patches that the Scottish wear. It's like the hair they have in that region is not enough, so they put a patch of animal hide there to compensate. Or maybe they give the really heavy crotch patches to the teens so that they won't be embarassed when they can't control their nether regions. Or they define status within the town, like the antlers on deer, only opposite. The smaller the crotch patch, the higher on the social totem pole. I like to compare it to guys driving big trucks.

Friday, March 05, 2004

I'm not one to brag, but I must say that I have the cutest niece in the entire world. She was born yesterday at 12:44 am and she weighs 9 lbs 3 oz and is 21" long. She has a full head of hair and she has already mastered the pouty face... that's my girl!

As many of you know, my Andrew has left me, and the cold Midwest for a sunnier climate for at least the next week. While he is out having lots of fun in the sun, I'm spending the majority of my quarter break in the dentist chair. Sometimes I hate the necessites of life. I do not recommend Dr Gutman, he'll tell you one thing and then charge another. I hope his teeth rot.

Chemical Engineering
Generally speaking, chemical engineers are experts in substances and how they react to one another or to various technical processes. Based on their deep understanding of molecules and their interactions, chemical engineers design manufacturing processes for products such as detergents, gasoline, plastics, and synthetic materials.

No wonder I can't get a job... I don't know how to make bombs.

So yesterday I was faced with a moral dilemma. I needed to use a book under the library's "Reserve" list, meaning that the book can not be checked out. This book was my where I was getting all of my data for my statistics paper. When I got the book, I thought to myself, I could just take it home with me and use it there and then just return it. It was out of date, and didn't pertain to anything someone at an engineering school would be interested in, well, except for me. Nevertheless, I knew that it would be wrong to borrow this book so when I was finished, I returned it to the front desk. Still needing lots of info from it, today I went to go get it once more, but of course, it's missing. Completely MIA from Logan Library. I don't understand. They say it has been "Discharged." Oh, and my paper, it's due Friday, and I only have about a tenth of the information I need. I hate you library staff. Give me my book back!

I Ryan Newman



If only he didn't change his car or got in that wreck... I think he would have won!

As many people know, I don't like football, and I don't like NASCAR, but I was informed, that because I have a driver, I have to like NASCAR more than than I like football. That's fine. I can handle that. I understand NASCAR. I mean, if people who have mullets, drive pickup trucks with gun racks and shoot their own dinner can understand it, than surely I can too. Football's more complicated. The goal is smaller, there are more people the entire time, and they run in different directions.

So yesterday I spent 18hrs straight at school.... Sad, yes, I know.

My hero got me an A on my group presentation! Or maybe a B+....

This morning I decided to partake in a weekly ritual called "shaving". This time, I tried my new shaving gel. I bought it because it was "shave minimizing" ... as my boy can attest to, I do not value smooth legs as I should, so I thought that this would be a good product for me to try. I soon realized why it was shave minimizing. It took me 10 minutes just to get the cap off! So it's not so much that it reduces the need to shave, but rather reduces the desire to shave. Sorry Andrew.

I would like to share something with everyone....

This morning, while working on some stuff on my laptop, sitting next to a certain boy trying to work, his laptop randomly turned off... He asked for a kiss and I told him that he only got one for the day. While he was looking at me, his computer came back on and I said, "Look! Your laptop is back on. Isn't that fun?!?" His reply: "Not as fun as making out. [...] Does that mean I'm not a tool?"

So, I haven't posted in quite some time. Definately not from lack of material, because every 3 seconds I think to myself, "Hey, I should blog that..." But I guess each time it wasn't so blog worthy because I forgot in and now not blogging it. Alas, I will update though.

I asked a friend of mine if she had read my blog, and she said no because she thought it was an on-line journal. Definately not for this one. My random thoughts go on to this page, not who I'm mad at, or who I think is trying to get with my boyfriend. That's too much fun to say in person than to waste posting here. This is more light-hearted and fun to read. So read on Johanna, read on.

Someone asked me for a recent picture and so here's one I'd like to add:




And some tongue quotes:

"It feels like someone's tongue is in my mouth, but it's just mine"
"I can do things I never thought possible"
"I can pop it.... with my tongue"
