~ Pollyanna I mean, all I'd ever heard were terrible references, as though it was one of the worst things you could be. She said that she didn't think it was really a bad thing at all, and that she'd let me see for myself.
~ Wishes One day at work, I observed a class, in which the woman was teaching the kids about tarantulas.

~ Going Nowhere: Success! That feels really good. I had a goal, I took steps to work on it, and I got there. Awesome!
~ Christmastime While on the phone with each other, other members of the family had the same idea to call everyone. So there was a lot of, "Oh, I'm getting another call!" and "I'll call you back!" and other crazy shenanigans.

~ Christmas 2005 As a kid, there were always these Christmas traditions that we had. And now, as an adult, Joe's and my only tradition seems to be that we have no traditions.
24 Dec 05
~ Potentially AWESOME Not to do so would mean having to seriously kick my own ass, and I'd rather not do that.
20 Dec 05
~ Even Heroes Can Cause Road Rage I'm the type of person to get all dopey and choked up when the news or whoever does a segment on the firefighters or the police, the "real heroes of our neighborhood," as they're so often portrayed. Which is why it was especially disheartening to realize tonight that it's very possible for these heroes, our firefighters, to be TOTAL DICKS.

~ Baby Jesus I knew he was the special piece, and I knew everyone wanted to handle him with the utmost care, and to be trusted with that care would be phenomenal. I asked a few more times, and reassured my mom again and again, "I won't drop him! I'll be careful! I can be careful!"

~ Pip pip, Cheerio! So I'm walking along with a box of skulls (yeah, don't ask), when I overheard a little girl say to her mom something about a baby animal when pointing to an adult.
16 Dec 05
~ Ramblings In much happier news, today was my last final!! I'm FREEEEE!
14 Dec 05
~ D+'oh! Then today, said hopes were promptly smashed to smithereens. Yep, I got a D+.
12 Dec 05
~ Help Yourself... Please! You know how in offices, people always bring yummy goodies that are irresistable? Chocolate, fudge, and M&Ms tempt all who walk by the trays and dishes of treats.
11 Dec 05
~ Exhaustion, For No Reason This morning, I woke up the groggiest girl alive. I had been in a really deep sleep, like burrowed into the earth kind of deep.
09 Dec 05
~ Celebrate! I'm feeling sleepy because I conked out on the couch while watching t.v. earlier, and hazy because I'm already slightly hungover. And it's only 2am!
07 Dec 05
~ First of the Finals Well, I'm sure people are starting off Holidailies with tales of Christmas cheer or Christmas angst, or some sort of holiday related shenanigans, but me? My mind is not on the holidays right now, people.
01 Dec 05
~ Obligatory Pre-Graduation Freakout I actually used to think up crazy scenarios, like I'd be this amazing animal whisperer and all the chimps in the jungle would love me if I loved them enough, and by virtue of that alone, I'd become famous, and write books and swim in a sea of money in my vault, a la Uncle Scrooge in Duck Tales (ah woo-ooo!).
