U don't have 2 watch Dynasty/ 2 have an attitude





I wish I had a good April Fool's joke for y'all. Sorry. Try again next year.

I guess I shoulda closed my eyes/ When U drove me 2 the place/ Where your horses run free



Has anyone (besides marilyn, who I totally told already) guessed were my last few post titles have come from? Anyone?



Well, if you don't know I'm not telling.



Pollen = gross yellow mess everywhere in ATL.



And, oh yeah, it's Thursday, and that means TV night!!!

I was dreamin' when I wrote this/ So sue me if I go 2 fast



Toadzilla, my friends, is yet another reason why introducing non-native (aka "invasive") species to an area is a baaaad idea. Other compelling reasons are the Burmese python that gorged on an alligator in the Everglades and the noisy coqui frog who refuses to shut the fuck up in Hawaii. And don't even get me started on Asian carp.

Dearly beloved/ We are gathered here today/ 2 get through this thing called life



I got my pedometer in the mail today for this walking challenge taking place in the month of April. I've been walking tons since selling my car and am excited about having a way to measure exactly how much I walk in a day. I need to measure my actual stride, because it is definitely more than the average 20 inches currently pre-programmed in the pedometer. (It claimed I took six steps when I had taken three.)



Dancing With the Stars, my deepest frivolous pleasure, started up again last week. It's on right now as I type this.

I never wanted 2 be your weekend lover



Ran into an old friend on the train today, and I felt bad because I hadn't returned her phone call from...uh...two months ago? I think this officially makes me something of a bad friend.



It's true, the only persons I can promise to talk to on a regular basis are my dad and CV.



Also, my love affair with getting to the point has made it very difficult to write academic papers, especially since I've been writing lots of AP-style news stories for a reporting class. If I can't distill the heart of the matter down to a 25-word lead, I have no interest in writing it. I also hate speculation and love action verbs. Subject, verb, object. In fact, I'm rather smitten with Spanish verbs and the fact that they don't require a subject. Verb, object. What could be more to the point than that??

The crankiness will continue until moral improves...or May 2, whichever comes first



Um...I really am on the verge of posting school assignments here, since I'm so addled and stressed I don't have two seconds to myself to form non-school thoughts into coherence. The only thing that stops me is the work involved in cutting and pasting from a Word document to Blogger. Be very glad I am too tired to do that, or else it would be 8-10 page paper city.



I have all these wonderful, amazing things planned for May. May is going to be awesome. I have five weeks of no school, just work, and I'm going to Reno & Lake Tahoe (hopefully) for Memorial Day weekend, and CV and I are talking about a trip to the beach. Listen to me, I'm just babble babble babble...my brain is the mush...

What's in a name?: All about my name (somewhat)



Ok, I have finally settled on the new, improved version of my name. This is the spelling I will legally change my current misspelling to this summer. It's really quite nice, once you get used to it. I'm basically dropping one of my "s"'s. It still looks feminine, it doesn't make my signature look weird, and I like it. What more do you want from a girl?
