*ahem* I GOT ENGAGED!!! So, about two years ago give or take, i asked Stacy to marry me.  We'd talked about it, we'd agreed we wanted to, and i thought the asking was just formality but when i asked (at the graveyard where we met, down on one knee with a bracelet in hand b/c i didn't want to pick out the ring without her input) she said yes, and ( Read more... )

and has had for some time now.  I'm not normally sick for a long period of time, normally i get sick, got to be for 24 hours or so  and then wake up well.  Not so this time around, I started feeling unwell on Wednesday, it got progressively worse until Saturday which has been the worst day so far.  I'm slightly better but still not great.  This by ( Read more... )

my parents never taught me to manage money, and while i realize that at some point you just have to step up and take personal responsibility for your actions, that you can't just keep blaming other people, this is s skill that that one doesn't just spontaneously develop although my parents act like it should be.  They never taught me to manage ( Read more... )

I would like to keep a dream journal, I've tried a number of times, (i'm trying right now in fact) but i'm really, really, really bad at it.  I've got a pad of paper by my bed but when i wake up the idea of writing stuff down feels as if someone has just asked me to climb a mountain.  I thought about recording it, but then it would be on the ( Read more... )

My father and I didn't like each other while i was growing up.  He was a verbally abusive alcoholic and I was a kid with her own ideas about respect and the way people should be treated.  Some times were worse than others, but for the most part as a kid I would have been happy never to have to see him again, unfortunately he lived with us, so that ( Read more... )

I never know if its because i'm just not as smart as the professor and he/she finds this stuff easy and assumes that i do as well, or if he/she (in his case he) if he finds it equally difficult but assigns it anyway because despite the difficulty the text is the only one that says what it says and we just have to wade through it and put up with the ( Read more... )

So i'm nearly finished with my first class of the summer.  I'm still rocking a 4.0 (i can't tell you how proud of that i am :D ( Read more... )
