I went to Zero Gravity with the adventure group tonight. They have bungee jumping and 4 other thrill ride type things. Bungee jumping was probably the least scary of all of them. The scariest was definitely the freefall into a net. You start out hanging with your face toward the sky and then they let you go and you fall backwards, and it is ( Read more... )

So skydiving was wow. I can't explain it. The free falling part happened so fast, and I was kind of out of it because all the blood was cut off to my arms and legs from the harness and crouching in the plane for 20 minutes, then with all the wind in my face I really thought I was going to pass out. I was so nervous about it, but not the height or ( Read more... )

I've been getting crimewatch emails from the neighborhood association, which are totally making me paranoid. But there have been several robberies in our square mile lately, and a group is stealing mail. Well, I haven't gotten any mail in the past couple of days, and I was expecting some stuff. Nick is mocking me because I've been turning on the ( Read more... )

We learned a lot from our first soccer game... We did pretty well the first half. It was tied at halftime, but we all got tired and they ended up beating us by 6 goals :) I think we figured out that we need to play zones instead of picking a person and chasing them around. Anyway, it was pretty fun. I am so sore, though. I definitely need to work ( Read more... )

My car has been acting up a lot lately, so I've been thinking about my car a lot lately. The first time I drove it was home from high school graduation. It has 150,000 miles now. It seems like it got old so fast. It has several big door dings from parking on campus, one big dent from when I backed into my mom's new car, and one big dent from when I ( Read more... )

One fun thing about becoming a vegetarian is that I get to explore the exciting world of fake meat! Haha. I vaguely remember trying some when I was a vegetarian in high school, but I can't really remember it. I'm sure they have made great advances since then. Tonight I got some fake hotdogs and hamburgers. We'll see how that goes. I can't decide if ( Read more... )

I couldn't drag myself out of bed early any other time in the past 2 weeks, so I went to vote at 7:00 this morning. The parking lot was almost full! Yay. Luckily the line went super fast. The guy directing people was hilarious. I have never heard someone enunciate so well. He was like, "Dallas Coun-ty Vo-ters?" The polling people are hardcore this ( Read more... )

I haven't had a minute to just surf the internet or watch TV in a couple of weeks, so I'm kind of behind on people's journals and my own.

Last night one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen happened. We were playing giant Jenga at Barcadia on Henderson. The bricks are like a foot long and 4 inches wide, so our tower was on top of a table and then about as high as my head. It looks like it was definitely going to fall on the next turn, no matter which brick was taken. We were ( Read more... )

In a country that's going to hell in a hand basket, I will focus on something positive. Lena Headey is the most beautiful woman in the world. I think she is perfection. And we both have bird tattoos on our backs! That is where the similarities end :)
