I shamelessly totally stole this fromlucre_noin and the extremely relevant and interesting questions and conversation that has resulted from said questions over on her journal.

Ask me questions about The United States so that I can ask you questions about your country.

I am just so curious about everything and I think internet is amazing because it allows ( Read more... )

 I'm finally back from the East from burying my grandfather. To be honest--not quite the way I wanted to end 2011---BUT I thought instead I would reflect on all the positive highlights of the year--and my hopes and dreams for 2012! Maybe once I have the right words I'll be able to write a tribute to my grandfather, send out some VERY late Christmas ( Read more... )

How does this happen? How do I keep getting wrapped up in reality TV shows(Shakes fist at Survivor and Mark Burnett)? Now I'm going to be on pins and needles until December 18th!!!

Anybody else out there have this problem?

Going through fandom withdrawels this evening...

I've been an avid fan of Torchwood for some years now. Since the beginning I guess you could say when we were first introduced to Captain Jack Harkness on the Doctor Who episode "Are You My Mummy?" Which incidentally remains one of my favorite episodes--the combination of creepy kid, WWII Britain, orphans, Rose/Zeppelins, the Doctor, and the ( Read more... )

10 years ago I woke up and went to school on what I thought was a normal September. I was seventeen and it was the start of my senior year in high school. By the time the day ended--the world I knew had forever changed ( Read more... )

Things I love...

• The way I can tell my puppy Max is falling asleep because he get's really limber and loose. His legs get floppy and looses resistance just like a baby's does before it conks off to the land of Nod.
• The virtual cascade and cocoon of the summer concert of crickets and frogs.
• Listening to said concert lying down on the concrete patio ( Read more... )
