Needless to say, I haven’t blogged in a long time. I think this is due to the fact that I graduated and was able to sign up for Facebook. Also, this summer was pretty busy. But now I’m babysitting a printer at work and, alas, I have no games on my iPod, a situation I intend to remedy soon. I can’t think of anything profound to blog about, like I usually do. (That was a joke, incidentally). So I’

I hear so many Christians, murmuring about their imperfections, and their failures, and their addiction, and their shortcomings. And I see so little war! Murmur, murmur, murmur. Why am I this way?

I'm going to delay explaining the title, for a few important announcements.1. I am now on Facebook.2. I am now the proud possessor of three new teeth! And boy do they hurt sometimes! Friday, after signing up for Facebook, I went to my dental clinic and squirmed for about an hour, during which they numbed me thankfully! The end result is that I have teeth that were heated up to 2000 degrees

Well, I don't understand why, but the picture header of my blog doesn't seem to always be the correct width across the page. So, if it looks like something is wrong, just make the web page a little narrower and it will be fine. I'm not a genius with computers, so this could take a while to fix...

So, after a stressful two weeks of finals, I'm done with finals! And I have two days of school left, despite the fact that I graduated almost a week ago!So now my life is coming to a great slowdown. Until Monday. Mondy I kick it into gear again, through volunteering 3 mornings a week for 3 weeks at a local clinic (it will look good when I apply to nursing school). And I have those last two days

The smell of burning human flesh is atrocious. Of course, it didn't help, that the flesh burning was mine. So, no cannibalism for me! Although if I were a cannibal I would probably be used to that smell but never mind.   So, I had my hopefully-the-last-operation-ever this morning. The anesthetic lasted 1.5 hours, even worse than last time! I don't know if this series was supposed to last 4 hours.

Out of sheer procrastination, otherwise known as Senioritis, I am writing to mention 2 things. (1) My upcoming operation, and (2) the insane-ness of learning almost all the human bones and muscles.   1. I am having, yet another, operation. This time I do hope they will give me enough anesthetics...the last time around it lasted only 2 hours, instead of the promised 4. But as I believe I've

Hello All!Well, yesterday was the "big break", as Space Center Houston advertised it. ("This spring break could be your lucky break!") It quite appears that it indeed could have been our lucky break (for R.R. and I).But, as the song says, lets start at the very beginning. I woke up at 4:30 A.M. on Thursday. We were supposed to leave at 5 A.M. but my family has difficulties leaving on time, so we

I probably should have announced this several days ago....but R.R. and I were selected to be an opening act of Cirque Magnifique during Spring break. We will probably open on Tuesday or Wednesday. There are 3 shows in a day.   Obviously, we are very excited, as are our families, and we're still trying to work out the dates and details. We're going to have to settle on them very soon...which

Recently my mother received an email from the Space Center Houston encouraging everyone to audition to join the circus. As several friends and I are clowns, I thought it would be fun to try out- so I emailed my primary fellow clown, R. R. After a few days of thinking and asking all of our MK friends "What can we use to make a dependable, impressive explosion out of commonly found materials?" we

Good morning!   Today my teeth/lips don't hurt nearly as much as yesterday. For some reason or other, the anesthesia wore off two hours early, which was very unpleasant. I took Tylenol, grabbed my icepack and tried to take a nap. After about two hours I felt better, but rather hungry because it was about 3 pm and I had only eaten breakfast. So I had some ice cream, the perfect remedy for all

My teeth hurt. Again...I had my frenectomy this morning and I hurt- but the anathestic isn't supposted to wear off for another 3 hours! Maybe they didn't give me enough. More later...I hurt!

I am now officially caught up on my homework! As of 12:01 A.M. this morning. I still have my essay and Hamlet paper to write, and I have to study for the A&P lab exam, but homework-wise I am caught up and good to go!In order to achieve that, however, I had to stay up until 3 am on Sunday morning. Then I got 4.5 hours of sleep, went to church hyper, and came back and did homework until 12:01

Good Afternoon! This weekend has already been very busy and will continue that way, even when it isn't the weekend. Unfortunately. But in case you really want to know...here's a blow by blow account: Friday (yesterday): Two DBU students came over for dinner and games last night. We had a lot of fun with V. and B.

It has been sticking for the last few hours but you never know...here in my state we have a saying: If you don't like the weather, wait ten minutes. But at least we have a white Christmas eve.   As far as my teeth are concerned, they are much the same. My gums are still

I spent most of yesterday sleeping. After I'd slept 12 hours after the party, I woke up for 2 hours, and then slept for another 4. Then today I slept for 12 hours, but haven't slept since...consequently, I am quite tired and will take a nap shortly.

Good afternoon! The swelling is supposed to be down today, but it isn't...everything is just as swollen as yesterday. It is starting to get annoying, because I feel like I have bicycle tires for lips. I did go the the party last night and I had fun, though I slept for 12 hours after that and I still feel tired.   While at the party, I met Madukwu Chinwah, Grammy award-winning songwriter for

Blogger.com is now working! I didn't do anything, but I did tell Dad about it via pen and paper. It worked for him, and now it is working for me...and I have no idea why, but at this point I don't really care. Here is a picture of my teeth before surgery. Here is picture of my face one day after surgery (yesterday).Also, here is a picture of me as of today...it's not a very good picture because

My computer/Internet is not letting me sign into Blogger right now...or almost anything Google-related, so I can't moderate comments or post pictures.   But to continue with the surgery....   I forgot one thing, but Mom reminded me of it last night. Before I fell asleep I said, " Hmm...I smell oranges!" Then, apparently my eyes glazed over and I zonked out. So, after about an hour I came to and

And awake, although you wouldn't be reading this if I were asleep.... So, I took my pre-operation antibacterial pills around 9 am, an hour before surgery. Then, once I was called into the room, we went over some consent forms and I was hooked up to a blood pressure and pulse monitor. Then, after some more chatting, my surgeon, Dr. W., put a torquinet around my arm and placed this lovely big IV

My main inspiration for writing this was actually my little brother. He was singing a Santa Claus version of Jingle Bells and I randomly wondered how Santa Claus knows where to go.

I have decided to emulate my sister (http://aglassdarkly.wordpress.com) and post a list of things...particularly things I hope and plan to do during Thanksgiving break.1. Sleep in. I accomplished that this morning and I got about...10 hours. I usually get 6-7 hours, so 10 is great!2. Eat. I eat all the time. But, apparently I have lost 3 pounds during the last 2 months. I mentioned this to the

Apparently my website is no longer available due to technical difficulties. However, I do not think that I will put my site back up because I really have no use for it anymore. I have also decided not to pursue entrepreneurship right now. This is due to the fact that this weekend is the first weekend since August that I am not scheduled for anything!! Happy Thanksgiving!

Saturday morning was quite thrilling! Once we packed and checked out of our hotel, we were driven to the Carver Center in Johnston, Iowa...about 20 minutes from Des Moines. Once there, we deposited our things, picked up name badges, and headed towards the breakfast table. While waiting in line for breakfast, I noticed the Ambassador from Congo taking a picture with another student. After

Friday's breakfast was quite good...but honestly, who puts Texas-temperature chili peppers in scrambled eggs? One bite of those eggs woke me up! (Too bad I wasn't that awake when I studied Biology before breakfast! It would have made my brain ten times more aware of the text.) Roger Thurow, co-author of Enough! spoke during breakfast. I'd been looking forward to hearing from co-author Scott

Thursday morning we woke up bright and early, picked up our registration packets, and raced to the Marriott Hotel downtown to see Bill Gates speak. All the Texas delegates were in the shuttle, and A.T. (one of three Texas delegates) and I discovered we compete in the same 4-H district! We should have known each other before.....and for the first time of many times that weekend, I noted that, "It

As they say...let's start at the very beginning! If you remember from an earlier blog post in mid-September, I mentioned that I would be traveling to Iowa in October. And so I did. I left last Wednesday afternoon on a 1.5 hour airplane flight from my hometown to Des Moines, Iowa to be one of 3 students to represent Texas at the World Food Prize Youth Institute in Iowa. The trip went smoothly,

Good news, y'all! A photograph that I took of my friend, Winky the Clown (of Winky & Blinky), received one of 45 second-place prizes in the Whole Grains Council's I Love My Whole Grains photo contest! I think that the point of the contest was not photography, but photos. Putting that aside, it is the first photography contest that I have placed in that is not a 4-H photography contest! Needless

No, this doesn't relate to the World Food Prize but I read it this morning and I think this is hilarious!

I was just about to write, "Mommy, I'm bored!". Because I was bored, and consequently was going to write about being bored. Then I started thinking about my week and realized that there are so many other, more interesting things to write about than being bored! And then Dad found "The Great Escape" playing on PBS! I haven't seen it for years, and I happen to love WWII...for some reason that I

This school year I will be volunteering at a local hospital, but first, they require you to have two tuberculosis tests. This Friday I went to that same local hospital to receive what will be my second test/shot (if you really want to know the technicalities email me or leave a comment) and after getting my shot I went outside to sit in the beautiful sunshine and breeze while I waited for my ride

Maybe you know (or maybe you do) that I've been traveling a lot recently...OK, maybe not a lot. It's not a lot as compared to people like Geoff Kimber (Sky Ranch guest speaker for Dallas MKs 2008) who tours the country playing his fun music. But for me, I suppose it is a lot. Or at least, more than usual. And there is still more to come.1. June: 2009 Texas State 4-H Roundup at Texas A&M

One thing that has been on my mind lately is: Automobiles. For one reason, I'm learning to drive, and another I keep wondering what would happen, for no particular reason at all, what would happen if someone got their car's tire stuck in one of those roadside drains. That was random. But I keep thinking about it! Yeah, anyway, Texas is changing their laws on September 1, which means,

Apparently they didn't run out of fireworks. Two days ago, I was doing some embroidery in my room and I heard this sound that sounded suspiciously like explosives. Fireworks, to be precise. It was our friendly neighborhood hooligans again! I'd just been beginning to miss them and the nightly bombardments....not! Back to the story: upon hearing the commotion (fireworks are very loud), I

Today has been a great day: I woke up, ate breakfast, and went to the ILC center with my mother. Oh, and I didn't crash the car on the way there, which is probably the best thing that happened (I have a learner's permit). No wait, that wasn't the best thing. After we got the Center, we went to the library where I updated my website and fixed it. But that biography page still doesn't want to work.

Apparently the deal is that x10hosting is switching over to a new something or other, and my website is not the only one that is down. That's the good news. The bad news is that now cPanel is down too, so I can't upload any new web pages. So I will have to complete my assignments by emailing them to my instructor, and upload them whenever the website decides to work again. And if it doesn't work

Adding my website to a search engine was very easy! I Googled "google addurl" and clicked the link, typed in my url and key words and boom! I was registered. QED. Just one problem. I went to my site....and it said Internet Explorer cannot display the web page. So I thought maybe I had to be signed into my web host account for it to be displayed, which would really be bad because then my site

Yes! Power trucks! Come to deliver us in our time of air-conditioning need! It's about time, but it's all good. Of course, if they came in the afternoon when it is all very warm inside, I might not be so easily satisfied. Or like yesterday, when there was a power truck down the street but it apparently didn't stay too long or fix anything. By the way, the "Yes!" thing reminds me of when I went

Personally, I don't feel the need for a website. Or a blog. Or Facebook or MySpace. Or Twitter, for that matter! However, for the sake of the class, I would think that my website would be more of a personal website, with the potential to sell items online, if I ever felt like trying. (Anyone interested in hand-embroidered casual bags?) I've never run across a site like this, so I'll go ahead and

As the instructions said to do, I did do a web search for free Web Authoring Tools. However, I was not able to download any tools, except Kompozer, due to my comparatively exeedingly slow internet connection. Here's a website that had a list of free web authoring tools: http://www.thefreecountry.com/webmaster/htmleditors.shtml#wysiwyg Along with Kompozer, I was able to use 2 other

I could write some very awe-inspiring words about learning HTML. I could at least say something 4-H'y about how HTMLwill benefit everything I do from now on. Or I complain that HTML is hard to learn. However, I have no inspiring words, no cheesy 4-H comments, and no complaints. HTML actually was easier to do than I thought it would be, and I'm glad of that! I did have the option of copying and

It's 12:09. But the question is: is it 12:09 AM or 12:09 PM? It feels like 12:09 AM becuase its so dark and the lights are so dim, just like last night when I got into bed at 2:45 AM. Why? The power is being weird. Why? Becuase it's raining, just like last night? Oh, and it's lightning, too....just like last night. All the way from College Station to here, 3 hours North. Oh, and I have no idea of

As mentioned in our class textbook, Poor Richard's Web Site, some websites can make you incredibly rich (Google.com, Yahoo.com, eBay.com), promote your great idea (Blogger.com, WordPress.com, forums), and sell information (I once needed an article on William E. Longfellow but I didn't want to pay for it and so that was an unpleasant shock). Other sites offer information for free (The Dallas

Hello world, and friends, family, and fellow students! First, I'd like to say that right now this blog is for my computer class. So if you're wondering why I'm writing so much about computer stuff, well, there you have it! If you're wondering why I have called this blog Streams of Randomness, it's because I can be pretty random. Not all the time, but sometimes! It's fun! For your
