Paying Attention

Apr 21, 2003 | This Life

Ugh… it’s that time in the semester when they start wanting you to prove you have been paying attention. Which, frankly, I find rather demanding. I haven’t been so ready to end a semester since my senior year of college…s i g h

Witty in the Forest

Apr 6, 2003 | This Life

If a girl is being witty in a forest, but there is no one there to hear her… is she still being witty… or JUST A COMPLETE IDIOT TALKING TO HERSELF?

Worth Reading

Worth reading: This site is fun… every entry is exactly 500 words… and some of them are pretty witty. “Things Andrew had no intention of telling Hannah” had the best line of the day : “He decided what he was really afraid of was how much he loved her.”
Check it out!

Pretend World

Apr 4, 2003 | This Life

When life gets too serious… I go hang out in my pretend world. (Which, is different than a fantasy world–if you need to know the difference, email me, I’d be happy to share the theory ;)… More specifically, I go hang out with a couple of guys who are still in college and working on building watermelon launchers and Spud guns (aka Potato Ammo). I have to tell you… discussions about which makes a better fuel source–lighter fluid or hair spray–is the best sort of therapy. It’s silly, inane, and best of all it’s free!

Well, my pretend world produced a few choice “quotes” and I thought I would share…

From SeaKayaker:”What? If you know so much, why are you still in school? ”
Me: “Point taken…”

Me: “I’m not much of a drinker, I guess. I pour a glass of wine, take three sips and then quit.”
Six: “What do you do with the wine… left in the glass?”
Me: “Oh, I usually pour it down the drain.”
Six: “WHAT??? You pour wine down the drain while many college students are going SOBER?”

Much thanks, Josh and Jon, for making the past week bearable! For the rest of you… remember: a pretend world is great… as long as it stays “Pretend”… (It’s when you start blurring lines that it gets dicey.)

Oh… if you want to join me in my pretend world… you can reach me HERE

I get the funniest email… this one was sent by Aimee… who, BTW… only swears when she is in a car and no-one can hear her…or so she says!

Aimee writes: Please excuse the foul language at the end, but this is just so much funnier if I leave it in than if I edit it. 🙂
Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle. The frog hopped into the princess’s lap and said, “Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome prince until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper young prince that I am and then, my sweet, we can marry and set up housekeeping in yon castle with my mother where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children and forever feel grateful and happy doing so. That night, as the princess dined sumptuously on a repast of lightly saut�ed frog legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled to herself and thought, “I don’t fucking think so.”

I Need a Haircut

Mar 9, 2003 | This Life

It’s official… I NEED A HAIR CUT! I have reached that stage in the game where the only fashion statement my hair is making is… well a “fashion DON’T!” While I’m a big fan of the “student pony-tail” for ease… it’s a bit sad on the glamour side of things. It’s a good thing super cuts isn’t open 24/7 or I would be there right now having it all chopped off! S I G H… And why, you might ask, am I rambling on about such insignificant things like my hair? Because I’m practicing the fine art of procrastination! If I could just hone my craft and find a way to make it profitable… Any suggestions?

NEWS: Later this month this weblog will be shutting down. It has been almost a year but it is time to move on to bigger and better things. Part by necessity and part by whim, I am closing shop in favor of a better solution. The new site is up and running now, but is not populated. So, I won’t list the address just yet. But be looking for it. I hope to go live and will give you directions soon. The good news is there will be much better content and lay-out, options for reader participation and TONS of pictures (not to mention the end of hotmail for me!!!). For the few of you who are faithful readers… a big Thanks!
