Her Morning Elegance

Love this.

Hydro-Plane

I learned this weekend that if you hit a large enough puddle, your cruise-control shuts off.

Oh, I Wish!

I saw the Oscar Meyer weanie mobile today. And I got really excited.

This Makes Me Really Sad

Story Part1

Story Part2

"People are not born with this degree of malice. Where does this hate come from. . . ? How do we prevent it from developing in men's minds? It only ends with forgiveness. Without forgiveness, the hate smolders."

10 Years Younger

I got mistaken for a junior high student the other day.

I am a dirtbag.

At this moment I sitting behind betsye, she is typing.


I am a dirtbag because I threatened to permanent marker *the worst painting the world*
This makes me a dirtbag because I first threatened the painting. I forced rushed work, and then after that proceeded to hang it on the wall. All that Betsye can do now is hang her head in shame at the worst work she has ever done hung for all to see.


Shame on me.

Dirty Whores

I read The Great Gatsby and hated it. I have realized that I despise stories about affairs that break up both engagements and marriages.

This includes, but is in no way limited to:

The Office
House
The Great Gatsby

Things I Learned This Interterm:

Jim Henson was a hippie.

Jim Henson has a doppelganger on campus.

Frank Oz looks like David Cross.

Sesame Street came before The Muppet Show.

My aim with a Nerf gun is surprisingly good.

After 6 years of evading capture. . .

I was pulled over tonight. And given a ticket.

Veteran's Day Celebration

Today I discovered that I tear up when veterans of our Armed Services salute the flag.

Happy Anniversary to me

This is the longest I've gone without dating someone since I was a freshman in high school.

Yay!

Few Comments

My mom repeatedly refers to the emo genre as "emu." At least she's trying.


Motorcyclists have a secret world of their own; one in which they wave to every motorcyclist who passes them and no one else.


I impulse bought today. With Laura's money. It was quite exciting. And probably the most enjoyable Wal*Mart trip ever.

Our Country Is Built On A Giant Lie

It turns out two-by-fours are not 2" by 4".

Camp Compliment

Amidst all the nice things said to me these past 2 weeks, I do believe the one that made me feel the best was having George, a big, black guy who used to sell drugs in Chicago, say to another counselor, "look, she's black" in reference to the fact that I can keep a beat and am able to not always dance "white."

Neophyte

I went into a Krispy Kreme for the first time today! It was a happy place with happy workers.
Question: Do they typically hand out a fresh, free glazed donut when you walk into the store?

The odds my brother beat in being struck by lightning.

Who Are the People in Your Neighborhood?

Phil: 63 year old, retired Navy Seal who served in Vietnam. Served 3o years before retiring to work with electrical stuff (that he tried to tell me about, but that I was unable to comprehend). Used to live in So. Cal. before attempting a trip to Madison to work with a friend. Was robbed of his bus money, so was sitting across from McDonalds in Springfield attempting to find some work to pay for the trip. Is a Messianic Jew who does not believe in religion. I got to sit and talk with Phil for about a half an hour today. Probably the best part of my day. :~)

Spec. Ed.

Found out today that one of my student teaching teachers is special ed. Not math. This is a problem.
