I.... I get addicted to things really easily.

Current things I'm addicted to:
  • Spider Solitaire

  • Freecell

  • Pyramid Solitaire

  • Roodoku [neopets]

  • Give Free Rice


    • Did you know that in high school I managed to go from level 1 all the way up to level 200 something in a week for freecell? YEAH, NOT HEALTHY. I even emailed the programs to my friends and deleted them from my computer. I can't do this anymore. I've wasted so much of my life on these computer games and right now I'm really, really trying to resist going to Start->program->games->freecell and get my mojo on. But srsly Jazzy you gotta stop. ;-;

    Why can't I be addicted something less stupid. Like maybe writing essays. I wish I could actually be addicted to writing essays. Or making burritoes. :D

    Bead for Life

    It's almost the gift-giving season! I hope you guys, when choosing gifts for your friends, visit this site to make a purchase or two. This is BeadForLife, a group that helps African women in Uganda pull themselves out of poverty. They're usually HIV+ and cannot do backbreaking work because the disease makes them weak. However, many of them are able to feed their family fresh produce, afford a shelter, and send their children to school by working with BeadForLife. I like this organization because they don't just give women jobs, but give them the necessary means to become small entrepreneurs in their community. Many of them have done just that. Everything on the site is handmade, and I browsed through the catalogue. Most of the things they have are very, very pretty. It's not the cheapest thing in the world, but a lot of the things, especially the earrings and bracelets, are extremely affordable.

    Please give this a looksee. Yesyes?

    :D

    Public because there's no point to having it private.

    I guess first of all I should thank Se Young for posting all of those older picture onto facebook.

    As most of you irl probably know, I didn't exactly enjoy the last two years of band, so much that it's tainted the image of it I have in my mind. Band for me in the past few years or so was associated with loneliness, with drama, and with the feeling that I just wasn't quite good enough. Lately I've been having problems with past memories and association. I hated the mere idea of band because it became a center of discomfort in my mind. Seeing pictures of the past really helped me deal with it, because it helps to look at things as a trajectory. It's good to be reminded that I wasn't always an outcast, that I did have friends there, and that I was part of a loving, cohesive group at one time in my life. After going through the pictures it seems as if time has refocused itself, and that I am for the first time in a long while watching a portion of my past fit back into the flow of time rather than hang suspended in anxiety and discomfort. It's nice to feel that I was once part of something, and that there was once in time where I truly felt the love and sense of belonging formed from the intimate daily interactions of a community.

    I guess I just want to say that for those of you I'm addressing, particularly those in band, I love you, or at least I loved each of you once, connected personally and emotionally with each of you once, missed you, hugged you, laughed and cried with you once. And so I love you, despite our differences and distances and all the other divergence in time and space that have separated us. I love you, and always will, because I did once.

    VP Debate

    Woooooooooooooooooooooow.

    Joe Biden owned. Like srsly up the ass owned.

    JOE BIDEN WHY ARE YOU WITH OBAMA? I WOULD'VE VOTED FOR YOU FOR PRESIDENT.

    And Palin is an endearing woman, but someone needs to educate her on what an "Achilles heel" is.

    hint: it's not about what you think about America and democracy.
