Mom is such a good little student. I really need to take after her. I'm the lazy as-long-as-I-pass student. I rarely give 100% on a test. Usually around 80% so I guess I'm average. I get in the mood, though. Sometimes, I'm just 'okay, I'm going to do this!' And sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't. Mom has been doing her work every night. Studying ( Read more... )

$111.50 dollars for a freaking speeding ticket. For going 69 in a 55. Insane...

"The official list includes only 2,974 people. However, there are 24 people who were declared missing that day that still remain unaccounted for. Many of these 24, didn't leave behind the family and friends that could push to be included in the official toll. I include them here, because I would rather wrongly include someone, than wrongly exclude ( Read more... )

I had my first day of work alone today. I opened and closed and worked all alone.  If I messed up terribly then I don't know about it. I did alright, I think.

I think I need to get back to writing. I have so many muses constantly distracting me and reading book upon book just temporarily distills it. I finished a 500 page book the second day I got ( Read more... )

Yup. I'm definitely worried about starting V's book now. Normally I stay away from spoilers but I've been dreading Lover Unbound so much that I've been reading as many as I can find. This is a romance series and V comes across just too cold for me. This book is crossing the line and getting a little too erotica for my tastes. Lots of porn but ( Read more... )

I don't know what it is, but twice this week I've been getting these really bad headaches. First, my vision would get spotty and blurry for about an hour, and when this clears up, I have a really really bad headache for god knows how long. It's really really bad and I'm so miserable. I end up drugging myself and hope I can pass out. It's ( Read more... )

A Texas cowboy lay down on a barroom floor,
Having drunk so much he could drink no more;
So he fell asleep with a troubled brain
To dream that he rode on a hell-bound train.

The engine with murderous blood was damp

While the furnace rang with a thousand groans.
