Well, I reported when I got Baxter here, and now I will sadly say that Baxter has passed on to fishy heaven....

You call every night
And we talk until bed.
We talk about our days,
And when we run out of things to say
You let me babble about nothing in particular.

You let me sing in my off-key voice
To whatever Joyce is playin’ on the radio.
You let me complain about everything and nothing.
You let me yell at my roommate.
You let me ignore you more than you should.

Okay, earlier today, while trying to find something to watch, my Mom came upon one of those stupid news shows, ET or something like that...but they were talking about Steve's final documentary, The Ocean's Dangerous, or something like that, so they had footage from the day he died, not of when he actually died, because Terri is the only one to have ( Read more... )

Well, last year I posted something about my birthday, so I'll do it again this year...

I'm nineteen now...which everyone keeps asking whether it feels any different, and my reply is no. Eighteen was the big one, could vote, could smoke (even though I wasn't gonna) could die for my country....and I'm not 21, so I can't drink (legally) yet. Nineteen ( Read more... )

I'm doing Army ROTC here at college, and so we have to go to Physical Training Monday, Wednesday, Friday mornings. And periodically we have a PT test to see how much we've improved. Up until now, I have never completed a PT test because I have shin splints and wasn't allowed to run the two mile run, doctor's orders.

Well, I just had an experience ( Read more... )

Rainy Days

Author's Notes: This was supposed to be a 100 word drabble, since I had never done one before, and wanted to try it, but it didn't stay at 100 words, it's more like 600 words...but it's broken up into 100 word paragraphs...

My dad's going through a bad break up right now- must be the season for those- but anyway, he was telling me about how hard his girlfriend is in denial about how they're just not going to work. And then he said something really weird, that he didn't think that I would ever be that way, that I don't allow my emotions to get the best of me.

Well, that ( Read more... )

I was at home when I saw on the MSN homepage that Steve Irwin had died, and it still hasn't sunk in. I loved his show, it used to be one of the only things I'd watch. It's the only thing Animal Planet had going for it. For the longest time, I wanted to be Steve Irwin when I grew up, if I wasn't going to be my Dad. He was amazing, and he wasn't ( Read more... )
