Typing on my phone while home sick yesterday made it hard to do a reply for this myself so it was delayed until today. I'm notorious, even now, to when someone is observing me, however, a one major instance stands out to me: I was at day camp run through the YMCA and so each day ended at the pool be...

I was inspired by this post on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/3249ff/women_of_reddit_when_did_you_first_notice_that/ . What struck me is most of them were when the women were young and from severely inappropriate sources. What is the first time you remember that someone noticed y...

Always there to offer pep talk or cheerful quips when a friend is down.

Because I would love to hear about her life, to hear of the challenges she faced. I've always admired her and the mystery around her death.

I've already talked about this in side-channel conversations, but I'm imagining a high-contrast, bright, black & white, psychedelic Alfred Hitchcock video of your performance in my high school hallway (the hallway I'm most familiar with). It was quite a scary video in my head. So wait.. convers...

Good reasons? Because apparently I have a lot of superficial ones: - financial stability - a car/chauffeur - can cook well - can mend clothing - will clean up after you if you leave your mess around long enough - forgive things I shouldn't (cheating, disrespect, telling me I'm unattractive in some o...

Wind... I'm seriously happy when I have wind in my face, my hair is untied and just blowing. I could stand outside for hours and just feel the wind take me away.

I did something similar to this in my "5 year memory journal" recently only it was three:

Walt Disney
Robin Williams
Grand Duchess Anastasia
Kristen Bell
Connie (my bff)
Jessa (my other bff)
Michael Trevino
Mom & Dad
My partner
Pia (a close friend)
Pav (another close friend)

More so looking at my livejournal recently, I think I'd recommend talking or writing every thing down. Even now that is helping me more than anything else. I don't think much would have helped me at the time in terms of advice, except maybe take things less seriously but at that age, everything is s...

Hmm... so in my last year of high school, right before the Christmas break, my first bf who was an online bf, came up to visit. He got there the night before the last day of class so I skipped and went to a motel he was staying at nearby with him. My parents got a call about me missing class and a f...

Racial and other divides is a big one. I'm tired of how divisive racial and gender issues are for people and especially on the political level. I'm adding the divide of women's issues, specifically, as well as gay rights issues. All of the big ones that just go no where and show how much we can real...

Hmm, the one I timed was about 40 hours. I was up and on campus around 8 am and then had class at noon. I promptly stayed in my computer lab working on my final project (ie. I sat in the same seat in the same lab at the same computer) until around noon the next day when I went with my mom (who felt ...

I have and will forgive cheating, for better or worse What is the reasoning you use to base your forgiveness of cheating? For me it is not likely a forgivable offense. I don't really have one. I just know I have done it and while I don't always, I have looked past it before and likely would again d...

In the past, TSN grew from word of mouth, and it stemmed from a Baptist college and was largely composed of American views which can be quite prudish, so social acceptance was different or non-existent. These days, it seems acceptance is something more and more people are having to learn, or risk b...
