Hehe. Ok, so I'm sitting in Starbucks and this really, reeeaaally cute guy is sitting next to me doing his math homework--makes me wish I was good in math so could, ahem, tutor him ( Read more... )

So I found this blurb, titled "Good words come in small packages," in the "Religion" section of The Dallas Morning News, Saturday, Feb. 12, 2005, p. G1. (The paper was lying in the grad student lounge, and I just happened upon this story.) The story is about miniature Bibles being distributed by "A groupd of Kansas evangelicals trying to ( Read more... )

Why is it always so COOOOOLLLLDDD in Starbucks??? Is it so that your coffee will get cold and you'll have to pay for refills/warm-ups??? Burrrrrrr!!!!

Santa Barbara Sunsets are beautiful, but they are also day-am good alcoholic beverages! Go to Harry's off of State St. and Las Positas and order one of these babies. Mmmm-mmmm.

Okay, it's official. I HATE flying. I have to fly for 4.5 hours tomorrow, from Atlanta to Los Angeles. I'm already so nervous that I can't even think, and I feel like I'm going to hyperventilate.

So, I was shopping at Barnes & Noble in Alpharetta this evening when a guy, near my age, tried to evangelize me in the religion section. My mom and I were shopping, and we came across the religion section, where he was already standing. He kept looking over at us, and I knew he was going to say something.

So I'm in Washington state, about an hour outside of Seattle. It's a lot like northern Georgia here, actually, which I both like and dislike. I have to admit that I love the trees, the scenery, the serenity, and the simpleness of it all. On the other hand, that can all get very bory, very fast.
