I'm starting to view 9/11 the same way that I view Valentine's day, which is to say that once a year, we are encouraged to do something special to honor this day. In regards to Valentine's day, we are encouraged to show our special someone that we love them, but what of the rest of the year ( Read more... )

Hello, faithful readers! I have had a recent re-realization. Ever since I was in high school, I have wanted my hair to be dread-locked. As a matter of fact, some of my Facebook friends probably remember the many times I had my hair in braids, sometimes as many as forty at a time, for weeks at a time. I would bring my orthodontic bands to school and ( Read more... )

Hey, brief update. I got a new laptop and I love it. It's a Toshiba Satellite and it's all mine! No more accidentally claiming Todd's laptop* and having him fuss at me. Once I determined that my laptop worked and everything seemed okay, I littered the front and inside with a variety of stickers. I heart stickers ( Read more... )

Haha, okay this is funny. I'm still laughing. I totally just had a conversation with two cops in front of my house, while holding a beer. Before you civil rights enthusiasts start yammering about how it's not illegal to drink, I was *animatedly* describing a run-in I had just had with a weird homeless guy. Also, I really rarely drink beer (read: ( Read more... )

So, a couple of weeks ago we were going through Todd's stuff and we found a pair of really nice binoculars. Now, I'm not a peeping Tom or a spy, nor do I share Puritan-esque beliefs that I should be fully aware of my neighbors activities HOWEVER, since I live in the city, I get to see drunk drivers attempt what would otherwise be simple tasks, like ( Read more... )

Hola, chicos! Today I had brunch with a friend I made at J Sarg; she and I were in two classes together. She's a lot of fun! We went to DeLux and they actually had everything we ordered (historically, this has not happened for me ( Read more... )

One day I hope to post with the regularity that I once did, but until then, here is your snippet ( Read more... )

Last night, Todd and I went to Bowtie Cinemas to see "Attack the Block", which is a suspense comedy, based on a gang of UK hoodlums, into drugs, guns, etc. Aliens attack and they end up having to save the block. The movie was awesome and hilarious so you should all see it ( Read more... )

Hola! I am a full-time college student now, for those who don't know. I attempted college back in '97, right after graduating from high school. I was working towards a fine arts degree, so I took one English class and a bunch of art classes. I hated my art teacher (Christine Lucas remembers her) so I lost the little motivation I had. I dropped out ( Read more... )

I hate how infrequently I post but I can't seem to help it.

I went to Colorado the last weekend of July, to see ptocheia and we had a blast while I helped her move. We ran amok on the South Table mesa in Golden, where the Coors factory also lives. We toured that sucker and tried to enjoy free beer (I am still not a beer-drinker). I remember Minnesota ( Read more... )
