So I've been hearing a lot from people about putting out positive energy and receiving that in return from others and the world as a whole. Which I kind of agree with. Your demeanor and what you give to people plays a large part in how they react to you.
I said before I needed a coat, I now have a fall coat and I love it. I also said that I was ( Read more... )

It appears that my college roommate has decided to go on ahead with the surname change. By that I mean she and Jud went and got themselves hitched this weekend. This was my first Methodist wedding and my first friend's wedding at that. Having been to one or two weddings in the past (this was my sixth I've attended) I can say that this one was ( Read more... )

It should come as no surprise to, well, anyone that I am not the biggest fan of Sarah Palin. I completely disagree with her politics and with the way she and McCain are choosing to run their campaign. Several of my friends have admitted to liking Sarah Palin simply on MILF terms. But when I look at her face in photos, I must admit, I can't ( Read more... )

There are a few things I'm tired of hearing these days. I am, of course, referring to things I heard at the Republican National Convention.

It shouldn't come as a surprise to, well, anybody, that I was among the first people that Melanie C informed of her pregnancy. By that I mean, I'm privy to this information as one of her thousands of closest friends on myspace. Kudos to her for being the first to release such information instead of having someone speculate in the press first.
I do ( Read more... )

My future brother-in-law is gay . . . and nobody bothered to tell me this yesterday when the news broke?

Having been suffering from writer's block lately, imagine my delight when a conversation came up this week that actually got me in a tizzy. Yes, I said tizzy.
I want to look at the song "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry (as opposed to Jill Sobule) and answer to so many people's objections to it. Apparently her parents are appalled that she is ( Read more... )

The most amazing song of all time ever. By that I mean I am obsessed with this song right now.

In my gmail inbox right now I have two emails regarding flowers for two different friends who've both lost a parent in the past week. The first lost her father and the second just lost her mother.
Both I consider to be good friends and want to help but have to accept that this is one of those things that nobody can help. One thing that something ( Read more... )
