I HAVE POWER!!!!! But i'll be probably be invisible for the next week, the same as last month. My jobs (I worked in a professional development course for Biology teachers and as a counseler at a camp for blind children) kept me busy full time. I'll make a post about those later. So I have a lot of make up work to do. Plus, my mother decided this ( Read more... )

I asked my mother what I should do with my spare time when I get tired of painting and when I'm not working this summer ( Read more... )

So what do we do for a three day trip to the Jersey Shore? Watch films! And I may not have been able to wax as lyrical and knowledgeably about direction, camera work and cinematography (I was the costumes and continuity girl), but I still have thoughts!

1) Dear People Who Manage/own Communities,

What are all the different roles possible in a wedding?

This is ridiculous. It's a lovely occasion and I can understand all the hype in Britain, but I hate to say this, but why should we care? America is outrageously patriotic yet we drool over a very symbol of what our Declaration of Independence rallied against. That leaders and role models are created by the people and can be dismantled at any time ( Read more... )
