I love my mother, but I still cannot fathom the fact that she has never registered to vote because the elections "have no effect on her life ( Read more... )

This icon brought to you by someonecatchme.  I won't whore myself out for readers, but I WILL whore myself out for icons.  So make some! :)

Based on some essays Ferrett has written previously on the subject, I would come to the conclusion that there are three types of people that use LiveJournal.  The first being the writers who want to grow as big of an audience as possible (Part 1 Part 2).  The second type is the type that wants nothing more than to put their thoughts on paper.  The ( Read more... )

I tend to overcommit myself too freely.  This has been one of my biggest problems over the past 10 years.  Throughout high school, I was involved in almost every single extracurricular activity in school.  These ranged from marching band to theatre to academic challenge, academic decathlon, speech and debate, mock trial, student government, ( Read more... )

A few years back, when my best friend (Jeff, pukooh) still lived in Massillon, Ohio (he ( Read more... )

I have decided to be lazy this hour and blow off actually writing another post, so instead I will link you to one of the funnier posts I have read off of Ferrett’s journal.  Bringing Wiccanism To The Masses.

My mother left for the yearly trip to Wichita, Kansas yesterday morning.  I felt so bad seeing her leave, because this is the first time in about 7 years that I did not go on the trip with her.  Every other time, we would pack up the car and make a two day journey out of it, enjoying the drive almost as much as enjoying the vacation itself ( Read more... )
