I love the sound of rain. When it starts to hit the roofs and the sidewalks. And when it starts to puddle and it sounds like bubbles. And even, sometimes, the rush of water as a car passes through. And I love the smell of rain. First you can smell the clouds, a somewhat musty, but clean smell. Then you can smell damp earth and wood. And then everything seems so clean and fresh. It's invigorating. And I love it. : )

My night: Gloria Estefan dvd, Beegees dvd, Eagles dvd, Donna Summer dvd. Oh yah, and I had some food. Good food actually. But was it worth having to sit through five hours of 70's dvd's? I think not. Why is it that our parents always feel the need to bring their kids along to reunions so that their old friends can sit there and gawk at you all night long...? *sigh*

"Then I seemed to perceive woman's central tragedy. I had lost my own mother before I could even know her, and was left alone, lost, desperate, crying out for comfort. It was a situation in which we women continue to find ourselves lifelong. We are forced to lend strength to men, to bear and feed our own children. Outsiders saw me as strong, but I was a child crying in the dark for comfort and mother had gone away and would never be there for me again."

Okay, I'm multi-tasking and I'm in the mood to be random. So you better watch out! (You better not cry... better not pout I'm tellin you why... Santa Claus is coming... heh heh...)

Okay, first... Merry Christmas everybody! So, what'd you get? I got some good gifts... and not so good gifts... And I went crazy shopping today at Main Place (but what else is new?) And I keep trying to tell myself that it's the thought that counts and not the gift... but geez, there are some gifts where you wonder what were they thinking???

Wow, this is harder than I thought it would be... It's been so long since I've posted that I can't really seem to get back into the swing of things. Maybe it would help if I weren't trying to do three things at once. Or five... I'm trying to catch up on my junk mail account while posting on the Mt. High message boards (once again) while writing this blog while figuring out the strumming to "Leaving On A Jet Place" while looking at my Priestess of Avalon book that I so want to read right now. And I want to finish it fast so I can start the Lord of the Rings trilogy. (I finally saw the movie the other day and now I want to read the whole thing so I can find out what happens. I just hope I'm not disappointed in the following movies- like I was after reading Harry Potter first then watching the movie.)

Okay, anyway, this is worse than rambling. And nobody wants to read this crap anyway. So here's a quick rundown of what I've done in the last however long and what I'm doing in the future however long, then it's back to the message boards for me! I have a new God-daughter! She's SO cute! And she's my first one too! So I'm going to spoil her rotten! Muah ha ha ha ha!!! I'm volunteering for the U.S. figure skating nationals in January. Yay! If you see those badges they're wearing while you're watching it on TV- I made those! Cool huh? I've been snowboarding my ass off- literally. I only stop long enough for my ass to heal in between sessions. Hehehehe... The Moulin Rouge DVD came out! Go buy it! Cause it's hella good! And there's all these extra things that make me want to be Nicole or Satine or just plain in the movie. And Ewan MacGregor is just hot. I'm graduating- finally- in June. So that's bout it for now... Just wanted to actually post something in here. Hopefully my next post will actually have some substance to it. Have a safe and happy holiday peoples!

Hahahahaha... it's been like five months. Anyways, I even forgot where the hell this site was... and how to do all this crap. So I'm just checking in to say that I'm still alive and hopefully I'll be back! Hahaha...
