one of my favorite stories
is the story of my grandmother and grandfather and how they met (i only met my grandmother once or twice when i was very young, so i only have a limited memory of my beautiful grandmother, and apparently i met my grandfather but i was too young to remember that).
so they met in kindergarden, and my dad told me about how my grandfather would dip my grandmother's pigtails in inkwells. and that they were high school sweethearts. Apparently my grandfather left california briefly and they broke up. But he returned and they got married.
my grandmother had Alzheimer's when she got old. It was really sad, i remember visiting her once and she didn't remember her own son (my dad). my parents don't talk much, so i don't know a lot, but apparently someone broke into her house and hurt her. The only other thing I know is my memory of my mother telling me she had passed away and my memory of her funeral. I wish i had known her better. But hey, that's life.
um....BTW...this is awkward perhaps i shouldn't say it.....whatever... so women wear pretty underwear for THEMSELVES not for boys. muahhahahaha.
Ugh...so i have this old head injury (that no doctors could figure out so it never really healed). It's at the base of my skull on the left side. When it first happened, I was constantly nauseous. It sorta faded away after several months (after I got an MRI and went to 4 different doctors). But it just flared up again YAY! it does that sometimes, so from experience i know it will go away after a day or two *knock on wood*
SIX SECRETS (b/c i'm the master procrastinator:
1. I'm a very morbid person.
2. I love cooking.
3. I drive too fast.
4. i was in hawaii digging in the sand with my sister...and i felt something weird. I pulled and...out came a little crab! I screamed and freaked out at the time, but if i did the same thing now....i'd scream the be like "ooooooh so cute!!!!!"
5. i've been trying for the past couple of months to expose my arms (with all my CRAZY scars) and it is DIFFICULT and EMBARRASSING and HORRIBLE beyond what you can imagine.....but i'm going to keep trying.
6. I have discovered through my troubles that the human spirit is TOUGH and RESILIENT and FORCEFUL beyond what you can imagine. And I am so grateful for that. The strength of the human spirit is why i am alive. If you don't believe in the human spirit than you have not been desperate enough to find it.
