Contrary to possible rumors (which I may have just started) I am not dead. I've actually started to post a few times in here and never really seem to finish them.

Life goes on. Lots of stuff I could talk about but can't. I suppose that's why I quit posting... maybe my protected list will start getting a work out.

I'm going to California tomorrow. Sadly not forever. Just until Wednesday. I'm excited!!

Sad day

Sun, 03 May 2009 12:56:52 GMT

Well, I'm not sure if it's done it at some other time or if upgrading to premium did it (yay for credits!) but it ate my theme and wouldn't display it... so I chose a new one that's not as good. But at least now the words won't hang over the picture of the paper.

Some random thoughts

Sun, 03 May 2009 12:09:12 GMT

1. I am a horrible person for never posting in Xanga anymore and will hate myself five years from now when I have no updates from this time in my life.

2. Internet Explorer 8 should have kept the smoothness of 7 and I don't want to see my favorites in my drop-down menu... other than that, you're okay, Microsoft.

3. My head is killing me...

4. Can't believe graduation was a year ago today

5. Went and saw Hamlet last night in the most ghetto theater known to man in the ever-scary town of Springfield... and not only did I survive but the guy playing Hamlet was amazing.

6. I like oatmeal.

7. I just wrote this ginormous profile on our recently-retired children's librarian that's up at www.examiner.org... it's a good one 'cause she's such an awesome lady.

8. I had thought of something else when I started this but it didn't take long to forget.
