Freezing Rain
Roommate: [Expecting winter storm] Wait... I hear... I hear... THE PITTER PATTER OF FROZEN RAIN!
Roommate: [A few seconds later] Oh. Wait. You're typing.
Me: [laughs]
[Silence ensues for the next five minutes between us].
[Roommate and I look up at the same time when the sound of rain hits the back windows. We then both frantically jump up and look out the windows].
Roommate: [Turning to me] AND SO IT BEGINS! *high five*

Tips & Tricks for "A Penpal and a Disposable...
I’m so glad this project was well received by so many! The lovely folks I’ve chosen for this project will be receiving their cameras either the first week of February or the last week of February, based on what we personally arranged. We all agreed to send letters and doodles as well. :)
The look a disposable camera provides on its own is really lovely. Tones are soft and images have...

Day 06 - Write thirty interesting facts about...
Well… I won’t be very good at this. They’ll be more just general facts about me than interesting, I think. But I’ll try it anyway! :) I have cold urticaria, which is a condition that causes me to break out in hives when exposed to cold temperatures such as a cold pool, cold room, cold climate, etc… with out adequate preparation. It’s more annoying for me than...

Day 05 - A Time You Thought About Ending Your Own...
Man, these first few questions have been so serious!! Luckily that ends soon.
This is a grim option that I think everyone considers at least once in their life, no matter how brief or long that period of consideration is. I won’t go into major details why, but for me it came at the age of fifteen. I was going through a really difficult time with illness — and losing friends because...

Day 04 - Your Views on Religion
I’m a bit behind, so I’m keeping this one short.
I feel religion is a wonderful thing for me. It may not be for everyone else… and if so, I could never judge or look at another soul negatively if that is their choice. But for me, religion is my guide and my support. Heavenly Father’s presence and influence in my life is prominent every day. He has blessed me endlessly,...

Day 03 - Your Views on Drugs & Alcohol
Some of you know, some of you don’t…
But I used to be quite heavily into drugs and alcohol. More than some people realize or ever knew. Most of the people in my life think I dabbled in it sparingly, never went out on a limb, never did this or that… but I did more than I ever should have.
After going through ordeals personally and seeing what drugs and alcohol have done to my...

Day 02 - Where you'd like to be in ten years.
Above everything else, I want to be in a place in my life where I am happy.
I want to have a college degree that qualifies me for a career that I adore. Right now, I hope that degree is in Communications (Journalism) so I can continue what I have going on now, but if it isn’t, I trust myself to make the right choice.
I want to be married and in love with someone who is absolutely,...

Day 01 - Your current relationship.
I am dating a total nerd and he is totally wonderful. That’s the best way to describe him.
He treats me like I’ve never been treated. I’ve learned a lot from our relationship. I’ve learned that this is how a healthy relationship is supposed to be. I learned that all of my past relationships that left me plagued with constant anxiety — and therefore made me react as...

I've been feeling kind of down lately.
What a bummer.
But today will be a good day! Tonight I am going to be in a commercial, at my favorite local restaurant Keo. Owners Bill and Zahidah have known my roommate and I since we were kids. Naturally, we’re frequent customers to the place. We almost constantly crave their food. The Pad Thai is one of my favorite dishes, but I adore everything I’ve eaten on the menu so...

We can? Okay good.
No but really though. Sure, he’s made mistakes, but you will always be for the president or against him. No matter who our president is, I will support him (or her). But I really appreciate Obama. He is one of the first presidents to actually listen and carry through with what the people ask him for and find important. He doesn’t say he’ll do something and...

Love & Truth.
I got to thinking today about how much the customs and norms change as the years go on.
For instance… my great-grandparents stayed married their entire lives. They married when she was seventeen and he was eighteen. They had four children and when they passed on, they were content with everything they had built for themselves and their offspring. They were beautiful people.
I hope to have...

Calling All 'The Social Network' Lovers...
I AM IN NEED OF YOUR HELP.
For a project, I’m searching for The Social Network movie posters. We’ve all seen the common “You don’t get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies” poster. However, I’m interested in locating the more obscure ones, and I know you guys are perfect for this task. I have seen the posters that also say “Punk Prophet...

Lucid Dreaming
I woke up this morning, discovered it was a snow day and my roomie could stay home with me, and then we both went back to sleep.
Thus began a long and intricate dream. The first half was not lucid, like all of my dreams have been lately. I’ve been reading books on lucid dreaming for the past month or so, and have tried dutifully to achieve them. It has taken patience, confidence,...
