Oprah

My aunt, Laurie Johnson, is going to be on Oprah this thursday, March 1st. Her website is www.lemonaidcrutches.com. Our family went through a hard time, especially her, and this company was inspired by what happened.
My aunt has been on crutches for a few years now. She, my uncle, and cousin were in a plane crash and they did not survive after the wreck. She has been in and out of the hospital for her hips and legs. Now she makes covers for crutches with padding and "fashionable designs."
So, ya'll should check it out.

Valentines Backlash

I got a nasty flu(thanks a lot flu shot!) the day before Valentines day, which obviously means I am allergic to it. So I called in sick to life. Since then I have been busy with something close to my heart. My music collection. It may not be much compared to other's I know but the memories that are invested in the soundtrack of my life are worth cherishing.
Every CD I own is in alphabetical order, my librarian room mate is proud of this fact. Windows Media Player's(which is a bitch to work with and delete) content is now completely imported to Itunes! As for my dewey decimal system I am currently on "Iron and Wine- Woman King," which is about halfway through the process of getting all of my cds uploaded that are not already on my computer.
You may think, maybe I'm crazy, possibly but it is nothing compared to the amount of studying I have done this term. (and have to catch up on and I am somewhat avoiding.)
What next, on this vestibulocochlear adventure? I am going to listen to every They Might Be Giants album that my main biatch can supply me with. I'm giving it about 2 weeks to complete the mission.
It looks like it's time to say good night! good night....

"20 yrs old I refuse to be told to live more responsibly"

So...I think that last post was what killed my blog the first time around.

It might also be that I am completely overwhelmed with survival. Sometimes I think I'm not old enough to be taking care of myself and other times I think it's ridiculous that Uncle Sam says (don't worry I don't listen to him) I can't drink after I've worked my ass off all day.

The strange part is that I am actually doing a lot less than I was doing this time last year. After a few panic attacks, thankyou PPMC for pushing me to the limit, I cut a lot of things out of my life. However, working 2 jobs and taking difficult classes at school seems to be sucking the life out of me currently.

In closing, my dear friends, I am going to clone myself so I can spend time with the ones I love.
