Three Dreams Come True In ~One Week

2006-07-11T18:41:00.000-04:00

Up North, one night when I lay down in the tent I was borrowing to watch the DVD playing on my laptop to rest just before going to bed. This was either Sunday night or Monday night. Happy comforting.Thursday I went to a dating agency, and ended up joining it. When I went to leave, I got in my car and looked up. The woman I had just spent the last couple hours with came out, got in her car and

Just listing out more dreams that have come true this year while I'm remember. (Will have to flesh these out later, but I'll probably forget to.)- Scott's parents' house over Easter weekend.- The strongest one turned out to be seeing "A Mid Summer Night's Dream" in an outdoor Arboretum and park in Ann Arbor. That was the first day I had my god-daughter by myself (before she was my god-daughter)

Reduce Your Snail Mail Junk Mail

2005-05-27T15:14:00.000-04:00

While I was going through seperating all the junk mail credit card offers and the like I get into the paper recycling bin and the trash can, I discovered in VERY small print on the back of one of the offers a notice telling me how I can stop these from coming! (I looked there because I discovered the secret hiding place for these such things at work while trying to figure out how to stop the junk

"Canada denies refugee status to American Soldier"Read the articleI'm not sure which way I'm leaning on this. On one hand, I feel people should not be forced to go to war. On the other hand, he was not drafted, he joined the Army because he wanted to join.Side note: It blows my mind that people join the military or reserves, and then when a war occurs are shocked they have to go fight.

I can't believe it was September of 2003, and not last September (2004), that I last posted on this. I doesn't at all seem like a year and a half in my head. I think my skewed perception of time is getting worse... but onto the topic at hand.I'm going to try and list all the instances since the last time I listed them here, I'll probably miss a few. One really interesting thing to note is that

Have you seen that commercial where a Groom and his groomsmen are huddled in a coat closet around a TV with drinks watching a football game? The Bride, with bouquet in hand and bridesmaids and others behind her, open the door to this spectacle. Clearly the wedding is ready to go, people have been wondering where the Groom and company are, and the Bride and crew have been looking for them. All

So picture it: driving along the freeway, you round a bend and see a sea of brake lights. All four lanes. You grumble as you pull to the right lane (your exit is only a mile up!) and quickly brake as well, easily coming to a stop without hitting anyone. And then you stay there. This isn't stop and go traffic, it's wait and crawl. You look down the breakdown lane to see if you can see far

What is a lie?

2004-10-04T14:02:00.000-04:00

Is it still a lie if something you say doesn't feel like a lie to you, but isn't the precise truth? For example 1: Telling only the truth, but not necessarily the whole truth. My feelings are: 1) If you leave out some of the truth and doing so changes what is told so it contradicts the truth, or is just plain not the truth, that is lying. (He said: "No good can come of this." You say: "He

They're Not Coming...

2004-09-28T11:32:00.000-04:00

They're not coming. My Other Bestfriend and his girlfriend aren't coming to visit me. They're stuck in NY. Customs wouldn't let them into Canada, and as they start to drive elseways the car wouldn't shift gears. She says they *might* be arriving on Wednesday. *cries* I didn't think this evening would be soon enough. Later definately won't be. The only thing I had to get me through today

HTML/css in Netscape and IE

2004-09-16T13:26:00.000-04:00

YAY! I finally figured it out! :D I've known for a long while that Netscape and IE display percentages differently, such as if you say font-size:80%; that will appear as different sizes in the different browsers, or if you say width:25%; that will appear differently in the different browsers. Instead you have to specify exact pixel sizes for the two browsers to display the same. (In the

If I do say so myself. And oh! I do! ;) We've got a new blog layout, one I've been wanting to try somewhere for a while now. Em, let me know what you think. I'm not totally sold on this yet. We've also got Blogger comments working. Who hoo! Let the windfall begin...

Why?

2004-09-09T10:43:00.000-04:00

Why do we, as people, feel the need to hurt others when we are hurting? (That other usually being whomever caused us pain.) Why is it you always get hurt in the end by the people you care about? (The only way this doesn't happen is if you die first, but then you've hurt others. There's no escape.) Why do I have the need to have people I care about and who care about me? It'd be so much

What I've discovered surfing the "Next Blog" button

2004-09-02T22:33:00.000-04:00

I have to admit I'm surprised by how many blogs in Spanish there are on blogger. Glad, but surprised, lol. I finally came across one not in English or Spanish, it's in... um... whatever they speak in Malaysia (Malaysian? Doubtful.). But that's only one in dozens. I also see how many standard blog templates there are out there now, a fact Emily commented on in her blog. Which reminds me:

Accidental Post

Look for it! Until then, just happy to be here with her.

... so I'm putting it here for now. I'm up to date on the story for a new character I'm playing. I have to change her history to fit with the world I'm playing her in, but I like what I have written now and plan on keeping that for her story and will write the changed one just for the game. http://www.mybigbang.com/worlds/characters/Gaia/gaia.html I should be formatting the page to look lots

I've been wanting and wanting to write. Finally got a bit of time tonight and decided to use it eventhough it wasn't going to be enough time to write what I wanted to. Now up half an hour later than I should be. Oh well. Here's what I managed to do: http://www.mybigbang.com/worlds/stories/Troia.html It's not much.

A few things I forgot (and I'm not going to go through right now and find the proper places for them). - Monday when everything started falling apart, the song "London Bridge is falling down" started going through my head, and ever so often for the next two days also, except on Monday it was "Jen-ni-fer is falling down". - Wednesday the Anxiety attack like feelings of February started up, and I

Okay, I keep saying I am going to write this, and I keep meaning to, before I start forgetting (though I probably already have) and forget too much. So here we go.Last Thursday turned out uneventful after my last post.Friday was okay, I went into Boston with Mom, saw her office and met a few co-workers, then headed over to the convention my friends were at. Got myself all settled in for working

Today

2004-04-08T10:49:00.000-04:00

So I was freaking out this morning. I woke up this morning 8 minutes before my alarm was to go off at 8 am, feeling rested and had that got-so-much-to-do-today-have-to-get-going feeling. But then... I started feeling nervous. "Don't go." It took a little while but I figured out I didn't want to go... somewhere, but I couldn't quite figure out where. To MA? To the con? On the plane? To

My best friend is back online! I've missed her so. Thankfully we've been able to talk ever so often by phone, but still it's been not fun not having her online. *BIG HUGS* Welcome back!

My Best Friend

2003-11-20T09:57:00.000-05:00

Jennifer, just a note to you, to let you know you're the best best friend I've ever had. As much as I love Justin, and I think he may read this blog, I can talk to you about stuff that I never could him, and that he'd never take me seriously on. You're a fellow Trek fan, you're funny, you're WAY a nicer person than I am, which means you make me try harder to be a nicer person because I don't want

Responce to Wed 10/22/2003: "The Quiet One" *HUGS* And just know, in fact I'd like everyone to know, that you are not alone in your feelings. Then or now. I've found in the last few years that most people at some point before 25 have been there. And most usually find it comforting and helpful to know they are not unique. Not bad or wrong to be feeling or thinking such things. That it's actually

You know you have a true friend when you can reveal things about yourself, feel alright doing so even if you think you are possibly risking the friendship, and the friend judges you still good enough for nothing to change between the two of you. Thanks. If only all the friends I was so close to at one time worked out as well.

Dear Diary...

2003-09-16T15:09:00.000-04:00

So I started a Dream Diary this morning. Although, lol, it's just a book sized brown paper bag so far! For some reason yesterday I *really* had the desire to start one. I was thinking of walking up to that bookstore again, the one I went to on Sunday and got the "Magician's Companion" and that intro book on Cryptology, and seeing if there was a nice empty book I could buy to make my Dream

Dreams Come True

2003-09-02T11:59:00.000-04:00

This is just to cataloge all the recent coming trues of dreams I've had. For those who don't know, I dream alot. I like to sleep because I dream a lot, and usually my dreams are nice or good or fun or random or at the least odd. Rarely are they unsettling, and I almost never have nightmares anymore. But more importantly, I was about to say: For those who don't know, I sometimes have what

Okay, I've decided it's time to do what I've been meaning to for a long time, and use this blog for one of the major reasons (on my part at least) that it was created for. Lol, now let's see if I actually get around to it. But hey, I've gotten this far, so at least this is another step! Let's get esoteric!

Stressed? No. Too busy!

2003-08-29T17:26:00.000-04:00

Geez! I'm *sure* I'd be stressing, and would have been most of the day, if I haven't been SO BUSY today! I'm only realizing now because it's the first time I've had that I've had to wait for something to finish and I've had nothing else really to do... I wanted to leave for MA just after 4pm today, but as we can all see, I dind't make it. Still had work I needed to get done her at work. Then

Not so good news

2003-08-27T08:27:00.000-04:00

I can't get anything to download, chat program wise, onto this computer. Like, seriously, apparently you have to get permission from the lab monitor, and I'm slightly scared of them. So, no go, disafourtunadadmente. I'll figure out something, but I've always had a problem with asking anything with strange authority figures, and here, the Lab Monitors are the authority figures.

Good News!

2003-08-20T15:27:00.000-04:00

Great news, the library computers don't allow the use of chat things, IM's, etc, but the Lab computers do, and my computer course means I have lab access, any time. How Nifty! Now I can chat w/ me mejor amigos todos los dias cuando yo no en los clases. Okay, garbled spanish, slipped into it.

Friends

2003-08-13T10:18:00.000-04:00

If we assign numerical values to the letters in the word "FRIEND", we get 6, 18, 9, 5, 14, and 4, the sum of which is 56. Then, if we take that sum and divide it by the total number of letters in "FRIEND", which is 6, we get 9 1/3. Round that number down to an even 9, and we can plainly see that it matches the third number position in "FRIEND", corresponding to the letter "I".

2003-08-02T22:28:00.000-04:00

I need to invent a transporter. Or learn to teleport. Or get a plane and a pilots liscense, if I want to be rather mundane about it. Because when you want to be there for one of your dearest friends, and can't because of distance, it sucks. It Blows. You can't hug that person, and it's hard to convey thoughts and emotions via IM or phone that simply sitting next to the person and watching their

Okay, so, I was supposed to talk to Jennifer today on the phone to keep her company as she drives cross country moving. I couldn't remember if I was supposed to call her or she was supposed to call me, so since I don't have her cell phone number I decide it must be that she's going to call me. I go to sleep early, and wake up at like 8:30. Having no clue when she's going to call, I actually Get

I thought. Yes, a difficult concept to believe, Me actually thinking, but I thought it might be a good idea to go ahead and write something, so I figured a note of thanks to my Great Friend Jennifer for all of her help, support, kindness and friendship might be in order. So, Thanks Jen, you're the best.
