Stick Boating

Ode to a stick, upon leaving one at an Ohio state park.

O thou my stick
We went thru the thick
We went thru thin
What could have been
Without the Jimmy
Or with someone named Kimmy
We'd still be together
To run through the heather
If only, if only

(Not my photography)

This is the potential that was viciously cut off in the prime of life.

We went to Sharon Woods to picnic and boat. Lots of fun, but I met my bosom friend and it was ripped from my life by a car rule. I did get to bring home some cool shells though. Not sure what some are, they look like conch shells but very tiny. I would probably be grossed out if I knew what it was. And the others are some kind of mussel's shell. Very pretty. We got a row boat and spent three hours just rowin' and sleepin'. Well, every one but me slept. I was just chilling. I almost caught a wild cat that was running around but they wouldn't let me stay and get him. They are so mean to me.

SOMEWHERE, OVER THE RAINBOW...

*Sings loudly and off key*
Just cheap shots taken on my phone camera, and VERY quickly thrown into a collage. I took these in Oklahoma, the first time I have seen a double rainbow that was so bright it hurt your eyes. A little later it turned into a triple too. You can see the second bow in a couple of the shots but not many. (mumbles curses on her lousy technology)

The Love of Reading

No, unfortunately I didn't take this photo. I just found it. But I figure it is a fitting tribute to my current job.

My Baby!

Wow, not someone I had expected to run into. Very nostalgic. HHmmmm...... Gideon Clark. Has a nice ring to it, but I can't believe that she would let him name their son that. It's about time they had a boy, forty five girls later! (OK, only three, but still.)

Today I wore my "Ipray" tee shirt. It is a rip off of eBay, but under that it says "Do you pray?"

Bad mistake.If one more person comes up to me and says "Yes, I do", I am going to go postal. I almost made a grown college guy cry because he said "yes" as he walked by, so I just said "no". He was like "Yes, I do! All the time!". I had no clue what he was talking about, I was just being facetious. After he about cried and explained, I just said "Oh, brother" and walked on. I think I need to find another tee shirt to wear.

"Images Blur, Meaning Shifts"

Taken on the way to Ohio. Nice blur. I am too cool, too cool, too cool.

Wait, how old do you have to be to go to college?

My Life.

We are not exclusive. We are at all times all-inclusive. We are not a Clique. We are not standoffish. We are a FAMILY. We will not change our united front to conform to the world's idea of "acceptable". We will not turn our backs on each other to fit in with your view of "Friendliness". We will back each other up in our battles and tell each other if we are being stupid. We are God's family. We will be what we are to the end of days. You can not break us, nor change us. We are loving and excepting of all peoples, of all backgrounds and all abilities.You may join us if you will.

"You can stay if you want, but this meeting is really just for staff and faculty."


Um...K. What am I then? And it would have used less words to say "get out". We are in a time of rationing after all. Do you really think that you should be bandying words about in this our deepest crisis? What kind of example would that be?

Really, I didn't mind. I hadn't wanted to be there anyway.

Just wanted to say, the title of this post in no way reflects my opinions of the staff and faculty at this organization. Just a little declaimer so I won't be in as much trouble later.

A Dragon! Adragon! I swear I saw a Dragon......

A funny thing ate me on the way home from work today......

~~~~~~

Nice of them to tell me that my key doesn't work on the outside door, just the inside ones. And Why was it locked so early anyways? If that girl hadn't been sitting in the window, or had worse hearing, I would have been in trouble. I'd have had to sleep in the library, and I can see all kinds of problems arising from that situation. Oy.

New Mexico, 2007 Actually taken by one of our team members, not me. Phil I think. Shows the Keep Mesa, in the morning light.

I am struggling to think of what to say for five pages. How can I use that many words to say "It's pretty." Is it illegal to send my homework home to have some one else do it for me? It would be done at home.

Timing Is........

Everything!
This Is what they call the "Gateway to the west". It is a big arch, hence the bent shape. The thing in the middle is a hotel(I think). That is a place you pay for a room to stay in. Got it? Good.

~~~~~~

Tonight I was walking up a set of (cement) stairs, and fell forward, almost rolling down the stairs backward. Due to my hands being full of wal-mart bags, and being very off balance from the backpack on my shoulder, I caught myself by sliding my knuckles along the step for about a foot. I frequently shred my fingers instead of the cheese, but this was much worse. There isn't going to be enough of me left to graduate.

~~~~~~

On the upside, I FINALLY got the papers done and all the people's signatures that I needed and gave them to the Registrar a whole three hours early. I have officially dropped one class and independent studied the other. Took long enough. If they knew what to do, they could tell me more clearly.

~~~~~~

Tomorrow we are going to the Cincinnati Art Museum with our English Professor. We have to pick a piece of art and write a paper on what we think it says to the viewer and why. Then we have to be prepared to defend our reasoning in class. Boy. (Who's idea was this whole college thing anyway?)

Giddup!

I FOUND IT! Just goes to show you that you can get lots of good out of working in a library. Now I have to buy it. HMMMMM...........LLLLIIIIzzzzz??????
Do you have any idea how long I have been searching for this book? Only since I was ten or so. Now I just have to find the "Trapped in the Library" book and I'll be able to get some sleep at night.

~~~~~~

After yesterday, there is nothing to say. My day was better, except for the part where I had to sing a solo with my ears plugged up and coughing like mad. Poor girl didn't know how to grade me.

~~~~~~

Book titles read today;

• My foot's in the saddle, my pony won't stand


• Poor Mrs. Rigsby


• I wonder...did Jesus have a pet lamb?


• Sing a song of Popcorn


• The dog who had kittens


• Daddles


• The Christian Bed&Breakfast directory


• If you want to make God really laugh, show him your business plan


• Chemistry of Insecticides, Fungicides, and Herbicides

Yes they were all really books. People should have to submit their book titles for approval before they launch them on an unsuspecting world.

Miserable Quartet

Wow, she is gonna kill me! But I am sure she will forgive me or else I won't call the newspaper people for her anymore. :)

~~~~~~

Now, yes I am miserable, but nothing out of the ordinary, I thought. But. I knew I was really out of it when I got out of the elevator, walked all the way down the hall to where my door should have been, and it wasn't my door. So I calmly took a drink from the water fountain and strolled back to the elevator like it was intentional.

~~~~~~

Actually it was quite exhilarating while I was still rolling down the ramp, it's just when I got up that I realized how many scrapes I had inflicted. And I am very proud of my finish; head over heels then to my knees and throw both arms up like I am an Olympic Gymnast. Never mind the crowd off laughing people, just calmly pick up my bible where it had been unceremoniously thrown, and continue to Christian Service class. If only that pencil hadn't still been in my hand from D-Group sign ups, I wouldn't have bled at all.

~~~~~~

What exactly can you say when a male, 5'6", mid weight, running High Schooler SLAMS into you at full speed. I don't think a single intelligent word came out of my mouth for a full minute. He apologized profusely, but my arm was numb for a while and I think my elbow really bruised my side.

~~~~~~

• I was listening, that look was just the response to bashing my shoulder on your door jam.
• Anthony! Get your head off me! *Splursh* And clean up my drink.
• Yes, I called them. *Crash* No, no. I'm fine.
• *Bang* Who put this desk in the middle of the library?
• "In Christ alone, *cough, cough* my hope is found, *hack, hack* He is my light, *sniff* my strength, *gag* My song. *snort* "
• Let's see, the notes from last class say we meet again this Fri. OK. Of course that meant this wed. What was I thinking?
• There is a concert at the museum? It is going to be packed?!It's going to cost two dollars now?!? THE LITTLE OLD LADY THAT GUARDS THE DOOR ISN'T A VALID SUBJECT?!?!?!
• Church? Here? WHEN? Now I know why they leave those back seats open. They're for me.

Wow, I think I want to be Phil when I grow up. Now I know why she is like that. The School did it to her! Help! It's sucking me in!!

*Sigh I really do like school, It just has it in for me. (Maybe it needs a sacrifice, I wonder if there are any cats around. I saw a very large Possum outside E's house as I left it a few nights ago, that should work. Now I just need a very large stone.....)

You scored as Goofy, Your alter ego is Goofy! You are fun and great to be around, and you are always willing to help others.You aren't worried about embarrassing yourself, so you are one who is more willing to try new things.

Just like to say that this was the worst waste of my time. Really dumb questions, too. "Are you evil?" Ummmm.......Strongly disagree?
