I am back to normalcy with internet in my diggs, which I haven't not had (until recently) since the 5th grade. Stoked. Purely.

It's been a while, but some highlights have been;

1> Having a wonderful date for Jen's wedding

2> Being an A+ bridesmaid (most of the time)

3> Joining 2 soccer leagues

4> My dad's surprise birthday party

5> My INDY3 team, they are so fun

6> Seeing Alkaline Trio againnnnnnn (n's count for the number of time's i've seen them((post seeing them this time)) ). 

7> Having cute neighbors

8> Having the girls, Kim, Jane and my brother around

9> Jolene leaving messages on Alicia's voicemail

10> Finding textsfromlastnight.com

11> Only two more week of Physics 

12> My mom sending mom-food along with Justin + Kevs

13> Being a normal human being and discovering an ultimate appreciation for EBAY

14> Freckle Central

And, for the pessimists (or people just interested)....the low lights;

1> Daniel Faraday dying on lost

2> C.K. holding grudges

3> My basically endangered ankle

4> My kitchen floor

5> Procrastination

6> Having to forfeit every physics quiz because I was instructed not to buy the book

7> Finding that I don't have a microwave

Here are some inserts from "Oh, the Places You'll Go"-- I read this to Elei the other night and it had been years since I had even seen it. Kinda hit me. Way to go, Seussy.

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.

You’ll look up and down streets. Look ‘em over with care.
About some you will say, “I don’t choose to go there.”
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
you’re too smart to go down any not-so-good street.
And you may not find any
you’ll want to go down.

Wherever you fly, you’ll be the best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.
Except when you don’t
Because, sometimes, you won’t.
I’m sorry to say so
but, sadly, it’s true
and hang-ups
can happen to you.
You can get all hung up
in a prickle-ly perch.
And your gang will fly on.
You’ll be left in a Lurch.

headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
The Waiting Place…
…for people just waiting.
Waiting for a  train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or a No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.
Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a sting of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting.

Somehow you’ll escape
all that waiting and staying.
You’ll find the bright places
where Boom Bands are playing.


Whether you like it or not,
Alone will be something
you’ll be quite a lot.
And when you’re alone, there’s a very good chance
you’ll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.
There are some, down the road between hither and yon,
that can scare you so much you won’t want to go on.
But on you will go
though the weather be foul
On you will go
though your enemies prowl
On you will go
though the Hakken-Kraks howl
Onward up many
a frightening creek,
though your arms may get sore
and your sneakers may leak.
On and on you will hike
and I know you’ll hike far
and face up to your problems
whatever they are.
You’ll get mixed up, of course,
as you already know.
You’ll get mixed up
with many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life’s
a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.

Take care of yourself, bears.
