(no subject)
Those who know me should not be surprised by my obsessive streak one-track mind when it comes to things that I like. So I give you, courtesy of dreadpiratenan, Coldplay on The Daily Show.
I think Bono just might have a strong challenger to his formerly uncontested role as Dorkiest Dancer In The World. Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen anything so cute as Chris Martin "dancing" on that stage. Hee hee!
In other news that people besides me might actually care about, my sister graduates from nursing school tomorrow! I am bursting with pride and love for her. I wish I wish I could be there for the occasion, but unfortunately the timing was bad and the cost of airfare is astronomical, so it just wasn't an option for me. Still, that doesn't stop me from wanting to shout it from the rooftops.
You go, girl! I am so proud of you!!
And last, an interesting meme from melodywilde

[ ] being myself in front of others
[ ] open spaces

[ ] dogs
[ ] birds
[ ] fish
[ ] spiders
[ ] flowers or other plants
[ ] being touched
[X] fire -- it's only in recent years that I've been able to light matches
[X] deep water -- I'm not at all a strong swimmer
