It changed my life in quite a few ways. Mostly how I view other human beings, and what actually makes us what we are. It also made me take a step back from technology so I'm not as reliant on it for…"

Madeline Warner replied to grokim's discussion Life Changing books"Harry Potter! True, it hasn't changed me very much, aside from the fact that I think about it every single day of my life, but I think that every book we read changes us a little bit. That's the magic of literature :)"

Nightmare
Last night I had a dream that this site was taken down. Hank was challenged to run and update this site on the ning for 6 months and because that time period had passed he was passing the website to be used by someone else (because websites run just like buildings for rent apparently in my dream world). So my dream-self was talking to dream-John trying to frantically convince of all the great things that they would be losing by getting rid of the ning;such as the forums, blogs, videos and… Continue

Fortyfour degrees...below zero
So I’m back at home, interim is over. I’m already bored and wishing I was back at College, and I have'nt been home for even four hours. I wasn’t supposed to be here until tomorrow morning, however, skiing got canceled tonight (the third time in 23 years as the professor kept telling us over and over again) due to extreme cold weather.
Yesterday it was 45 degrees (Fahrenheit) outside, the warmest its been all winter. Tomorrow, there is a high of 0, and the low is -22, but with the…

Decesions
Where did the time go? I meant to write something at least once a week and I believe that its already been two weeks. Its not like I’m doing anything, I have no homework, I haven’t been reading, and I haven’t been watching movies. Honestly, I couldn’t tell you why I didn’t make an entry, its obviously not due to the lack of time.
But on another note, I have two things I want to say. The first is that I may be changing my…

Nerdfighter!
When I did my first post, I had an idea in mind that I would try to write regularly and I’m not sure that’s going to work out. I guess it will all depend on my schoolwork and laziness. Not to mention that I usually spend most of my free time reading, because I love reading. The only reason why I’m not reading right now is that I just finished Stephanie Meyers book Eclipse (yes, it only took me two days) and I’m going out to get the third book either today or tomorrow, so I have…

Procrastination
ContinueSo this officially my first time ever having a blog and posting something (other than on face book). I always refused to get a bog before, because to many people I knew would use theirs to either, A) get pity or to B) vent. The most likely direction my blog would go is the venting route, because things seem to annoy me to easily and send me out on a tangent.
As seen in my profile I am a college student, and what that means is that, I,…

once you get off the mountains, it gets incredibly humid... my dad is from near the coast, and it'll be 95 with 100% humidity in the summer. up here on the mountains, it hardly ever breaks 80 in the summer, but will get in the single digits and snowy in the winter. sometimes with negative teen wind chill. it's pretty crazy.
