if her husband dies, i'm marrying amy tan
...just thought i'd shock you.
10 years ago:
was i alive then? ok, about to start in mrs. malone's class. hmm, i was a polite whiz kid back then. haha. but i was! honestly! report cards indicate i needed to slow down when reading aloud. doing karate, baseball, basketball at the y, and football, though that might've been 9 years ago.
5 years ago:
about to go into 8th grade. winfield middle school in winfield, wv. i hated moving to indiana until i moved to wv. but we lived in a nice, big house. i roomed w/ dan the pastor's son who goes to liberty at super summer, the southern baptist church camp in wv. good times. i woke up earrrrly one morning w/ terrible pain from a strained hamstring, and he helped me hobble to the nurse. that's love.
1 year ago:
david krone. "they were nice, but i don't think i'll hang out w/ his nerdy friends." oh sidd, i barely knew ye. saw the village w/ krone, malloy, menendez (at whose house we had burgers), sidd, and morgan. it was fun. they were nice, but nerdy. nate and sidd invited me to sit w/ them in stat, and their kindness melted my heart.
Yesterday:
swam in a polluted creek. thanks a lot, anna. also, watched another movie w/ krone! haha. only after much talking and some ping-pong. he beat me. saw a few minutes of "shall we dance," the fred astaire version, before bed.
Today:
like 5 crossword puzzles. i've begun to finish them!!! anyway, i waited in the airport for 5ish hours. resumed joy luck. treated myself to an economist on my mother's dime.
5 snacks I enjoy:
-gummies
-nuts
-lots of most any beverage (though sodas may be switched to water at a certain point)
-laughing cow cheese
-nibs candy, for concerts w/ mom
5 bands that I know the lyrics of most of their songs:
-caedmon's call
-relient k (now they're becoming famous. but they hardly say "Jesus" any more...)
-copeland
-lovedrug
-as tall as lions [little bit of a joke on these last three]
5 things I’d do with $100 million:
-fund myself in, say, africa
-buy Bibles for middle easterners (yes, i'm trying to sound better than you ;))
-pay for el collego
[amy = asian for first supporting parents. that thought: totally didn't cross my mind]
-buy a mini cooper
-buy wwi tanks and some hilly land and make ultimate paintball!! or build a submarine, or both!
5 locations I’d like to run away to:
-t/e library/strafford park sounded nice
-ft. thomas, ky, i guess
-royal hawaiian hotel...never been there, but it's obviously the classiest place in honolulu.
-301 deerpath ave., sw, leesburg, va
-back to anna's house, i guess
5 bad habits I have:
-involving people in my folly
-forgetting people might be a bad habit
-pleasing myself
-[edited to protect the innocent] oh stupid me!
-staying up too late
5 things I like doing:
-writing letters
-playing old songs on the piano
-crossword puzzles
-reading some books (i.e. popular theology/the book i'm on now is classified as philosophy on the back cover)
-i guess i like im'ing
5 things I would never wear:
-"nothing"
-"earrings"
-"dodo"
-womens' clothing, if i can help it
-tattoos/piercings
5 TV shows I like:
-arrested development
-stella (i think...)
-"PBS mysteries" (the opening cartoon thing gets me excited :))
-inspector morse (a now-cancelled BBC mystery)
-wwii documentaries on history channel (though i like that channel less now than before)
5 movies I like:
-the japanese version of shall we dance, though i have qualms w/ the adultery
-lawrence of arabia
-zulu [really any movie w/ anglos ruling ethnic people. startlingly true.]
-halls of montezuma (old war movie that girls could like, i think)
-"intellectual movies" hehe
5 famous people I’d like to meet:
bah, who needs famous people? (and why have people been putting dead people??)
5 biggest joys at the moment:
-moving out in less than 36 hours
-talking w/ someone from va. i've not talked to for a loooong time
-recently seeing many friends
-aimee's contact'd eyes not being pool'd
-the bed i've not slept in for more than a week (i'm going there in about 5 minutes)
5 favorite toys:
-stationery, though some would like it if i liked it less
-not stealing this from someone else, but, my fountain pen. oh wait, i don't have one (sorry, that joke's funny at 1 in the morning)
-the bio text i hope to get tomorrow - can i learn it all in about 5 days? pray that i do.
-crash test dummies - they were donated to help a children's cancer charity, though
-g.i. joes
5 People I'm tagging to do this too:
