Things I Like

May 14, 2007

For your reading pleasure, here is a list of 50 things that I like. This list is completely random and by no means exhaustive. Let me know which of these things you like or dislike! 1) Mary Kay Satin Lips – this stuff is so good they sent it to the soldiers in the gulf war. I think I am addicted to it. 2) The number 3 – just ask my soccer teams. They all know which jersey NOT to take. 3) Automatic sliding doors 4) Bike lanes 5) Mounds candy bars – Mmmmm. Dark chocolate + coconut=the perfect combination. 6) Chicken fried rice – I could eat it every day, probably. Until I had a heart attack. 7) The…

Ahhhh…

May 3, 2007

I finished my last final this morning. I celebrated this evening by eating almost a whole tub of chicken fried rice and a pint of ice cream while I watched the DVRed episodes of Gilmore Girls and House. It was glorious. I have two weeks with no school, but I already have 11 things on my “To Do Over The Break” list, not to mention the fact that I agreed to work almost every day I can. Ah, well.

The Photographic Evolution of an Injured Toenail

April 3, 2007

This is going to be your favorite post of all time, I just know it. Right after it got bruised: The bruise painted over: Another soccer game cracked it open. I didn’t want it to get infected so I took the polish off. The blood underneath had leaked out. This time an indoor soccer game did the damage. Its final days: The moment arrives. And you know what? Losing a toenail isn’t nearly as traumatic as I thought it would be. Turns out that half of it has already grown back underneath. It’s not too pretty, and it’s a little tender, but a Band-aid fixes it right up. Happy Tuesday!

Lofty Aspirations

March 24, 2007

My family is very sports-oriented. One of the manifestations of this is that each year we are involved in fantasy teams and pools and such. For as long as I can remember my dad and my uncle have picked the NFL games, and when my brothers were old enough they joined in. Being the only girl, I wanted to be involved too. So when fantasy leagues started becoming popular, our family decided to create a private fantasy baseball league for ourselves and I jumped in. The way it worked was that whoever won the NCAA tournament that year got first draft pick in fantasy baseball. Well, we did that for a couple of years and then I WON. After that,…

Bird Flu Phase One

March 22, 2007

So I got a lot of grief from some people for enrolling in the bird flu vaccination study. People were telling me that it was stupid for me to put myself at risk, no matter how small, of getting the bird flu. Well, I wasn’t worried. And today, I got vaccinated. I found out that there is absolutely NO risk of me contracting the bird flu because the virus they inject you with is killed. So that should put all the worriers at ease. I was nervous about the whole ordeal because I knew I would have to get two injections and have my blood drawn. When they took my blood pressure beforehand, it was a little high. My blood…
