Oooowwww... I just typed up a 56 minute transcript (which ended up being about 7 pages) of my grandfather talking about his experiences as a soldier during World War II. I did not expect it to take as much time and effort as it so far has; I have a whoooooole new respect for those Mystery Things (not sure if they are computers or people) that end ( Read more... )

This morning I dreamed that my grandfather - seven years gone, now - called me from whichever here-after he resides in. I heard his voice, and he asked me how I was, and I tearfully told him about everything I could remember from the last few years because he has missed so much ( Read more... )

Am once again reading through old entries in my LJ... and I've come to the conclusion that February 2003 was really not a very good month for me. I'm only on the 11th and already we've had the Columbia crash, on my birthday no less, a serious fight between two close friends that I got caught in the middle of, and the serious shoulder-wrenching ( Read more... )

I am bored. Christmas Eve rush doesn't start until the service tonight, so I've been sitting around looking for a picture to use as the cover of the CD I made which has the instrumental version of Oh Holy Night that I need tonight. It's an octave lower than I'm used to singing the song, but I think I should manage... won't be as pretty soprano-ey ( Read more... )

Am making pretty good headway on my paper for History. Have been here at the UW since about quarter to 8 and I only have a few more things to cover.

YAY! Shippy eps of Stargate tonight! And to think I almost forgot ( Read more... )

Apologies for bailing on chat last night, loves. I was in Uber Bitch mode and didn't wanna end up snapping at anyone. And I mean seriously bitchy... not the good snarky bitchy, but complete and total BITCH. Like, "I am seriously this | | close to bitching out Krissy because of her bad grammar" bitchy... Hell, I was just as close to bitching out ( Read more... )

YAY! Live Journal is finely working ( Read more... )

Well, here's something I just thought I would share with you all. This little poem/prayer has always been something we bring out whenever anyone passes on in our family or friends of the family. My dad went and searched it out again for someone to say at Grampa's funeral.. It's always been special to my family, so I thought I would share. I'll ( Read more... )
