Interesting Fact: Hawaii Edition
Did you know that Queen Liliuokalani, the last reigning Hawaiin monarch, was married to a native of Schenectady, New York? Tell me that's not the most smashing thing you've heard all day.
Also -- and Julie, you should appreciate this -- I learned that hukilau is an actual word. As in the song, "'Cause we're goin' to a hukilau! A huki, huki, huki, ( Read more... ) -

Hi, my name is Jessica. You may remember me; I used to be relatively consistent about updating, but have been neglecting my journal for the past few months. I still read all of your entries, though. You know that thing you wrote the other day, about that one guy? Fascinating! Also, your thoughts on the girl who was involved with that thing were ( Read more... ) -

Medical Update: I'm not dying. Well, not today.
After spending two hours in the waiting room (sans reading material, as I forgot to bring a book and wasn't keen on flipping through the pages of an outdated Men's Health), I met with my doctor for the follow-up. The short version is that she doesn't know what's the matter with me. The slightly longer version is that my spinal X-rays were fine and ( Read more... ) -
I really shouldn't be allowed to read WebMD.
A few weeks back, I wrote about the embarassment that was blacking out at dance class. That incident, combined with the intense headacheds I've been having lately, has left me feeling a little shaky health-wise.
