I found the book to be childish, angst ridden, and I wanted to shake all three of them more than once... But under that I found a interesting plot... Sigh.. I now have read the next one to find out what happenes.. Years of avoiding the Twilight train gone to waste...

2. I am now borderline obsessed with making flowered hair combs.. My mother is an enabler, as she sent home boxes of crafting supplies with me.. I hope I can sell them, other wise I am going to have a hella lot of flowered hair combs..

3. I have gained 60 lbs in the last 8 months and I dislike my body a great deal. It's hard to feel sexy and powerful when you are not loving your body..

4. I generally have a song playing in the background of my mind...

5. After spending a massive amount of time with people, I reach saturation point.. I don't want to talk, don't want to interact in R/T.. I need to recharge my batteries at this point..

I also have worked hard to avoid the Twi-disease. I've managed to avoid the books and audiobooks of it in my home, but the honking big screen tv blaring it was too much to avoid. Team Jacob here.

It IS hard to feel those things and positive feelings for oneself in general when one is not happy with their body. I know this, oh how I know this!

Music = life. If I didn't have it in my life at the appropriate times, I would not be here. Fact.

I hate people in general, so those who I do actively spend time with and connect with should know that they are the bee's knees and pretty damn special to me.

I know this firsthand. The little ankle biter came to actually PREFER her training pants.

Team Jacob here as well.. Damn It...

While I don't hate people.. Apathy is more my speed... I do get drained to the point where I have to tell the people I live with not to interact with me, don't touch me, don't need anything from me for a little bit.. If I don't get my space, you will find me curled up in something soft(head to toe with my hoodie up) watching cartoons or zoolander being completly non verbal..

Sigh.. my.. *need to call* list is a mile long...

I have lost touch with the techno world since DVD players were invented and I think they are the devil's toy...I have no idea what an Ipad or Ipod or Iyi yi is...I dont understand what a blue tooth is and why its blue. And I thought wii was a game..but it has something to do with wireless connections? I still dont have a printer that doesnt look like its made out of stones...

I have an uncanny ability to find really good bargains. My house is a good example. I paid peanuts for it...

My sister is a hoarder. I am not. I tend to throw things out. Both of us regret our own actions at times.

I cant make a round pancake...

I am a sucker for a pretty necklace...

I have my apathetic moments towards the human race as well as warm and fuzzy feelings at times. I suppose it would have been more accurate to say that I loathe the things that humans do to one another and tend to view myself as an outsider looking in to most of them.

My MP3 player is my shield. When I've had too much of some/everyone and/or I need to recharge my energy batteries, I tune in to it and out to the rest of the world.

I have yet to see Zoolander all the way through. I've tried multiple times, but have only actually sat down and watched, in bits and pieces, about 18-20 minutes of it.

There are a LOT of black pups in my life currently.

I'm debating whether to continue to keep my bangs bang-y or to let them grow out so I can sweep them to the side in the fashion that's really popular now. I think I'd look equally good either way.

Let them grow out... you can always cut them later...

That seems to be what the majority thinks. Actually, everyone that's said something to me about it has said that, come to think of it.

Let 'er grow, I guess!

Kenna · 04-08-2010, 08:25 PM

My house smells like cinnamon and vanilla

I made an extra bedroom into an art studio and LOVE that it's so peaceful up there.

(my father's passing made me think of this: ) When I pass away, I want to be cremated and my ashes placed in tiny itty bitty little cobalt blue jars, sealed tight, and mailed to places all over the world with instructions to place my little jar in a beautiful place...especially on a beach near County Kerry Ireland and in the highlands nearby. My loved ones are to each keep a little jar. (I have soil from my son's gravesite in a tiny little vase... to carry with me no matter where I end up in this world.)

I want to work at a Job Corps to make a positive impact on the students.. because I was in their shoes years ago.

I LOVE hummingbirds, bluebirds and watching Momma birdies take care of their babies.

I cut my bangs last night..

Just saying...

1. I have an abject fear of maps

2. I sometimes fantasize that I am the winner of America's Next Top Model (don't judge. I bet you can't pose like me. *blink*)

3. I'm quite shy (contrary to what most people believe)

4. I have a stuffed Hippo named Hubble Gardner and a stuffed pig (wearing a tiara) named Charlotte York

5. I dislike potatoes, however I was craving them today. Can you say, freaky?

Jet · 04-08-2010, 08:50 PM

I love air shows and vintage air craft, and the Space and Aeronautics Museum
Football is my favorite sport.
I interviewed Sen. Edward Kennedy during a news conference years ago.
I have zero tolerance for anti-Semitism; I contribute to the Simon Wiesenthal Center
If I could pick 5 people I would like to have met in history,
the first would be George Gershwin.

Gemme · 04-09-2010, 10:37 AM

I want to learn how to throw and paint and glaze pottery. Maybe I'll do those teeny tiny vases and containers for Sweet.

Being a Gemini means that I tend to have (at least) two (often polar) opposite streams of thought in my head constantly. Sometimes it's very crowded in my head.

I drank wine for the first time in....years?....last night. I do enjoy my merlots, and partook of one, but pineapple wine is not bad either.

Tyson's grilled chicken breasts are quite yummy with apple danish dessert bread. Don't judge my food blendings. It all goes to the same place anyway.

I have to train someone later today and I am (1) not looking forward to it and (2) not going to be able to play on here for more than 4 HOURS straight. I might not make it.

Elizabeth! I'm coming, Elizabeth!

I love this piece of music! Who else would you like to meet? I would love to meet so many people. Narrowing to 5 will be tough. I met Maya Angelou last year and that was amazing!

I LOVE football! Favorite team? I watch a lot of teams but I like the Cowboys!

Jet · 04-11-2010, 07:12 PM

I come from a great family
I don't like frosting of any kind on cake
I don't celebrate my birthday
I start T this year
Even so, I'll always stay clean shaven (no facial hair )

Andrew, Jr. · 04-11-2010, 08:12 PM

I love Turks & Caicos and Bermuda. I wish I could live there year 'round.

I admire Chip Coffey.

I have always worn Ray-Ban Wayfarer Sunglass's. I even just used an old frame and got new lenses put in.

I would rather be outdoors than indoors.

I'm a sucker for plaid, madras, and preppy type of clothing.
