See subject line. Because I swear I had one, once upon a time! I was a really excellent student in high school! And sometimes in college when I was trying and not depressed. (I will never forget my perfect score on that one paper for writing/theater class, where I was apologizing for my lateness and starting to cry because I was depressed and still ( Read more... )

I was reading - as I do - and the Fibonacci sequence was mentioned. I learned about it in GSE (Governor's School) and remember hearing that this number was everywhere in nature and thinking it was beautiful. There are all kinds of equations that explain nature phenomena, but this was something I could actually see if I looked, an underlying pattern ( Read more... )

It is kind of difficult to write a story with nine characters or more in half the scenes. I have no idea how other people manage without occasionally forgetting that one character or another actually exists ( Read more... )

Is there a polite way to tell somebody that their drawing looks very pretty, but completely wrong? I won't say anything at all, I suppose.

Hey, just wanted to let you know that the 'wingdance' on Twitter is not me, if anyone here was surfing and wondered. I was thinking about getting an account there and found the name was already taken.

Problems at home. On the upside, I'm now pretty sure that I could take my sister in a fight as long as she doesn't sucker-punch me first. (Which didn't happen, but the girl's get a nasty punch when she can manage to connect. She knocked John flat on his ass after she found out she was pregnant.)

I saw DVDs of Peach Girl at an FYE and thought of mungol, ( Read more... )

So, working at Starbucks seems to be healthy in a weird way... or not? I've lost about five pounds in the last two weeks, which I'm attributing to the fact that I usually only ever eat two meals a day unless I've woken up before ten-thirty, and the fact that Starbucks has me on my feet and rushing around for long periods at a time. Still, if I lose ( Read more... )

So, life keeps going and going and going. I'm living in Lititz now, and I'm actually trying to be a good driver so I can get my license, mostly so I can drive myself to work. Where am I working, you might ask? Starbucks! I'm a barista. I love the company because of all its high standards, and the people I work with are fantastic ( Read more... )
