That really aggressive one at the beginning of A Fish Called Wanda- with Wanda and Otto. Oddly enough Wanda getting off to Archie’s Russian accent was significantly less weird to watch with my parents 6 feet away.

I’ve worn Realtree Girl tennis shoes for three years now and they’re the best I’ve had!
I also love my Sperrys- since they’re leather they expand as you wear them. After about a month they’re wonderful!

Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) broke his toe shooting The Two Towers by kicking the orc helmet by the pile of burned bodies at the beginning of the movie. Aragorn’s scream of “grief” is Mortensen’s scream of pain!

We were both in 3rd grade and in the same class. Our gym coach had the two of us trade sides before the activity of the day… and I was too busy “looking” at him that I didn’t notice the ensuing disaster. We collided. Right there in the middle of the gym floor. Plus- knocked out a stubborn baby tooth without having to go to the dentist! But I could never speak to him again!

Honestly the rules for being a good friend in general apply here! My best friend from college didn’t really understand depression until he heard everything I said about my experience. And he’s been the best through it- he doesn’t treat me like some freak. He listens when I need to talk about whatever the problem is and gives me space when I ask for space. And does nice things without me having to ask!  Take home message- BE THERE. LISTEN.

Tron Legacy >>> Tron!!

They heard her singing her last song
The Lady of Shalott
Heard a carol, mournful, holy
Chanted loudly, chanted lowly
Till her blood was frozen slowly
And her eyes were darken’d wholly
-Alfred, Lord Tennyson, The Lady of Shalott Probably the creepiest description of death I have ever read! I’m honestly surprised this never gave me nightmares.

Honey Bee by Blake Shelton: “you’ll be my honeysucle, I’ll be your honeybee”
So. Damn. Suggestive.
And there’s “you’ll be my Louisiana, I’ll be your Mississippi!”
Ised to think this was just a cute song about being close…

24 scünci thick hair hair ties! The pack cost $3.49! I used to go through the regular ones really really fast. I kept what I had left when I got a pixie for whatever reason. Now that my hair is long enough for ponytails again I wore one of the old ones once, threw them out and bought this! Three months in and I’m not even close to halfway through these.

Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. As a science student the statements he makes about progress for the sake of progress disturbed me, and it initially turned me off. But the humor and his skewering satire of all our social constructs- even the values we think we hold most dear- won me over in the end. I think about life and society very differently now because of that book and the new insights it gave me. And it gave me my first realization that science really does have to be careful.

I had to read AQWF for senior lit and it changed my life!! Heartbreaking and extremely powerful especially in the times we live in.

Saw a dude playing bagpipes outside a dorm on a dreary, rainy day. No one else around him at all. I live in Texas, not Scotland!!

I had a rough morning at school (tough class at 7:30 AM, after that just long. Left school at lunch) When I got to work I started telling my work friend about one of the classes and he really took an interest in it! (His major is the polar opposite of mine) We talked for 15 minutes about Hubble! (The telescope not the scientist. I’m a phys major if you can’t tell) Made my day!

Casually pass the free speech area on campus every once in a while! All the orgs like to hand out food and other goodies to get you interested. Some sell super cheap food for fundraisers. I got a free hot cocoa once on a freezing day because one of the Christian orgs wanted to advertise their service times!
