Sure, your addiction is killing you, but it got me my job, so thanks.
I started my first job on the 11th. I'm working as a cashier at the Eagan EZ Stop. Pays 7.25 an hour. It's a gas station not too far from the apartment. We're run by Crown Coco. And if you're wondering, no, I can't get you discounts on gas. The station is just a small "mom and pop" sort of station. I've only got 4 other co-workers besides the ( Read more... ) -
A better mall
My personal revelation, the Mall of America is over hyped. I mean sure, it's nice; it's got more than 400 hundred stores and a theme park built right in the mall. BUT, in my opinion, the Nicollet Mall is so much better. It's all outside and if the stores there don't have their own building, they're sharing a building with one other store. And I'm ( Read more... ) -
My Golden Year
If your birthday is on the 16th, then it is considered by some that the year you turn 16 will be/was your golden year, the same is true for any other date. (i.e. 22 on the 22nd.) Well last year was supposed to be my golden year. Let's reflect ( Read more... ) -
I'm home
My life is amazing. Things are going very well for me here in Minnesota. I often laugh about how far I might have to travel to see a cow around here. Things are very impersonal over here. Gossip isn't really a problem because everybody is so wrapped up in everything they've got going on to even notice what's happening two feet in front of them. It' ( Read more... ) -

It is characterized by motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunction such as muscle weakness, paralysis and hypo-reflexes without being proved. In severe cases respiratory ( Read more... ) -
Crossing your legs can cause long term damage?
For almost three weeks now, there has been an area of numbness behind my knee and in my elbow that is steadily spreading out, it now covers a three inch diameter in each location. I went to the health center on campus who said my case was out of their hands and referred me back to my primary physician. I tried not to think too much of this. Surely ( Read more... ) -

So this is me?
I guess that this was all due to my upbringing, or maybe that I showed signs of serious depression when I was in the 6th grade. And, if you're reading this, it is likely that you know that I have NEVER in my life thought very highly of myself. Then Charlie (Divel) called me at midnight last night, we talked for 3 hours, but it was 15 mins. of that ( Read more... ) -
Schizophrenia
Why is it that people ever go crazy? Why are they pushed there? I wish I knew, I wish I understood. What happened to these people that caused them to lose their minds? Something outrageously traumatic? Part of me finds it hard to believe that someone can be born with schizophrenia and yet 1% of the population are diagnosed with this disease. What ( Read more... )
