Have you ever been in a plane, one that left the ground, while you have a cold/sinus infection/something else that doesn't allow your ears to pressurize? It is NOT FUN, let me tell you. I felt bad, because the two girls next to me very clearly just wanted to sleep, but I kept my individual light on so that I could read- who can sleep while they' ( Read more... )

I'm in North Carolina. My cousins are great, even if they do spend too many hours playing "Fire Engine ( Read more... )

I just had this random memory pop into my head...Ouch ( Read more... )

Maybe it's the weather? I can't quite figure it out. Something is awry. (Is that the correct spelling?) I had trouble sleeping last night- a firetruck and an ambulance went by in the middle of the night, and for some reason, I woke up thinking that it was one of my students who lives in Salem that was in trouble.

Let's talk about funny things that happen in life.  I got hit by a squirrell while I was riding my bike on my 16th birthday.  When the Rider guys tried to prank us frosh year, they floured their RA instead of ours.  I fell down the stairs while I was carrying my fridge into my first dorm room.  I fell down the stairs in Tavilla last week.  I was ( Read more... )

Wow, this is a long time since my last post.  I'm somewhat surprised that I can still sign in ( Read more... )

Do you know what strikes me as odd? When someone gives me a compliment, or if I read something about myself, I never take it at face value. Instead, I try to figure out what they "really" meant. For example, "Oh, you look really nice today." I think that when most people say that, they mean it. Heck, when I say it, I mean it. But if someone ( Read more... )
