JEL Summit

[padmekenobi27]

Under the cut is a whole replay of all that I did and who I met on my journey going to a college and having fun at a JEL summit. Note, this post is not dial-up friendly. Bunch of big pictures included.

So, on the days of June 17th through the 19th, I went to Simpson College for a JEL summit. At first, I hadn't wanted to go, considering none of

But you ARE uber cute, so it makes sense that somebody would FINALLY notice. :)

Nice pics. The random ones are hilarious.

I squish you and am glad you had a good time, dear one.

DUDE. I miss you like UBER MUCH. I just remembered you've never seen me before. Haha. Thanks for the lovely comments, and I squish you back! *huggle* I'm glad I had a good time too. I was freakishly scared about going somewhere alone where I knew almost no one, but I made it! How are you, though? I've been reading about your EVOL clots and whatnot. Hope you are better soon! Teh Effie can't be hurt! If Teh Effie is hurt, than Teh Er Bear is hurt. Thanks again for the comments.

I'm okay--high on Ambien and Vicodin right now, so if this doesn't make sense, that's why. :)

I think there's something in my leg--it still hurts like a mother. But we can't seem to pin down a diagnosis. I went to the ER last night with shortness of breath and chest pain, and worried that the clot in the leg had moved to my lung. Thankfully, the chest CT was clear. I still have to follow up with my doc on Monday (he was out all last week) to see what he wants to do. My INR (blood thickness level) is dangerously low. He may want to admit me for Heparin infusion. I don't know for certain, though.

But I'm more comfortable than I was, thanks to the fun drugs. Just taking it really easy right now.

I miss you too! Bad Effie! Bad! I'll be in the corner.

No, you need to be on AIM instead of the corner, so we can actually TALK! Heh. I love your icon, it makes me lol. I'm glad you're feeling more comfortable, though. Seriously, we need to talk. :)

Is this college in Iowa?

What's a JEL?

I enjoyed the pics.. and you are beautiful. Looks like you did indeed have a great time.

And are you still thinking about being a writer?

[padmekenobi27]

Yes, it is indeed a college campus in Iowa. Simpson College, actually, in Indianola, IA. JEL is a teen organization that's all about being tobacco free, whether it's from smoking, or chewing it. JEL stands for Just Eliminate Lies (I'm sure you've seen the commercials for it).

Aw, I've never been called beautiful before! Thank you so much, I feel very special. I did indeed have a great time, it was fun to hang out with all my new friends.

I'm not sure, really. I do enjoy writing, when I get some inspiration. The problem is that I can never finish anything I start. :/ Heh. Why do you ask? Not that I mind, I'm just wondering.

I hope everything is well with you and thank you for all the lovely comments, and I am glad I got to share these pictures and events with you. :D

I haven't seen the commericials. However, I just started watching tv again. But what a great program to have for teenagers..

You have a wonderful way of writng, and you are beyond your years in writing.

That's how I see it... and if you could take that to college and nurture it, I believe you would become a GREAT writer....

I have always see you as a writer. :)

But I'm sure whatever you decide to do, you will do well... ;)

[padmekenobi27]

It is a great program, much better than what I thought it would be. I am thankful that you see that I am at least good at writing things, lol. I'm sure I will take it to college, and shall nurture it like a little baby. Hah. Thanks, though. Talk to you later! :D
