- Being both a highly verbal person and a confirmed nerd sort, I frequently want to quote things- movies, Internet stuff, comedians. There are certain things that I want to say ALL THE TIME. The problem is, no one understands me when I say them, so I come off as having a bizarre form of Tourette's. Since I had the good sense to marry someone very like me in this respect, it isn't a problem at ...

- I'm glad today is Saturday. I feel a bit overwhelmed with Monday on the horizon. I thought I had Friday off from my day job, School Director for an alternative school. I was wrong. I had a thorny computer run to plow through and then figure out how to squeeze in the appointments for my lost "day off."Today started with a Harvest of Local Authors at Barnes and Noble Waterside ...

- It would seem that the majority of our society has forgotten how to be patient. A little patience can go a very long way. Unfortunately we continue to evolve into a high-blood-pressure-pill-needing species that knows only one language. Hurry up! Why? Why "hurry up?" What are we going to miss this time? Why are most car accidents caused? (Okay ....well...aside from the ...

- The beginning was always a very good place to start, or so I thought. Each time I returned to that old house at the end of the road, memories would overtake me of my childhood and the times we spent together. The last time we met here was after our mother passed away several years ago. We recalled with a mix of sadness and joy the life we had spent on that quiet farm, not far from the big ...

- I would say my life is boring, yet hectic, alive--yet dead at the same time. I make promises to myself and most of the time I have those ideas and insprations shot down with my metaphorical shot gun. I even entered the NaNoWriMo Writing contest that begins next month. The goal is to write a 50,000 word piece of fiction by midnight on Novemeber 30th. I am now having second thoughts-- ...

- This blog isn't going to be particularly specific today, since I've got loads to do but I thought I'd start off with a small entry to get started - it's taken me this long to fill out my profile properly due to how little time I've had lately; I recently found a new part time job and my university course is now in full ...

- Up early again today as we were staffing the last Information Point for the morning as it’s the first day of term. Lots of confusion about timetables, where rooms were and also where people could get water. It’s a good question. To be honest, I didn’t feel that good, and was rather overwhelmed and shaky with it all. I’m not sure I was coping as well as last week really – the adrenalin ...
