November 2009
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
And for the first time since I can remember, I feel a twinge of sadness because of it. I love Christmas. Seriously. I LOVE Christmas. It’s my favorite holiday for reasons I can’t hardly begin to express. I love being with family, picking out gifts to give, getting gifts, decorating the tree, wrapping gifts, watching the snow fall, listening to Christmas music, the general...
I've been in Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving
And I’ve been visiting with my step-relatives (i.e. my stepmother’s kids and grand-kids). I’ll be heading to Cleveland, OH tomorrow for about a day to visit with my Dads side of the family. After that, I will leave for a place near Detroit to go to a family reunion for my Mom’s side of the family. This Thanksgiving break has been/ will be full of:
traveling
food

Mighty Thing of The Week
Given that there was a request made that I could not see any fault in, the Mighty Thing of The Week is the song “I’ll Make A Man Out of You” from the Disney movie, Mulan. In my opinion, the whole movie is pretty Mighty, but this song in particular is very Mighty. The mere irony of the entire song being about the superiority of men and yet the most successful trainee is, in...
I have a confession...

Sometimes, when I happen to be wearing a lot of make-up for some reason, and I go to take it off at night…..I wipe off half of my face at a time so that Ican feel like Mulan.
Bahahahaha this is the best thing I’ve read all week. Julia you should know that in Bible study on Monday we totally belted out “I’ll Make a Man out of you.”
I’m horribly sad...

Conversation between my roommate and I...
Me: My thing is empty.
Allie: Your face is empty.
Me: Your heart is empty.
Allie: Actually my heart is rather full.
Me: Well my face isn't empty either, but that's beside the point.
Allie: I never said your face was empty.
Me: Yes you did.
Allie: Did I? No, I don't think I did.
Me: Then what did you say?
Allie: ....I don't remember!
Me: Oh my goodness...

Here's a 'What If' situation:
That ooooonnnnee glass panel breaks….and someone happens to be swimming. That pool is hanging off a roof top…so…just, what if?
What I Did Today:
Slept in till 3 p.m.
Got a job at the Campus Post Office, for next semester.
Decided to, after this semester, quite my job at the Campus Grill
Met someone I had never met before.
Helped my friend find a beautiful dress. It’s purple.
Ate at Denny’s
Talked about a musician no one in the car had ever heard of, just to have one of his songs play on the radio 3 minutes later. Thus,...
So I changed my theme...
The old theme wasn’t doing it for me anymore. Sometimes when I entered quotes, the formatting Would smush the first two lines of text together. I will have none of that on my blog. So here’s a new one. We’ll see how it goes, I’m personally not too thrilled with it right now. That giant flower just sits there. I think it’s pretty but it might possibly be too...

So for those who weren't aware..
I had an earlier post that alluded to the passing of my grandpa, Calvin Emerson Brown. He was a great grandpa and a truly good man. He was fantastic role model in many ways. I spent last weekend in Taylor, MI at his funeral services and I got to see a lot of family, and hang out with my cousins, which was weird. Only because whenever I see them I instantly get happy and have a good time,...
Dear Tumblarity,
I don’t care what you think about me. I refuse to post 50 things a day, so if you want to judge me, go ahead and judge me. I’m gonna keep doing what I be doing, and if you don’t like it, well, that’s your problem. I’m not going to cater to the MAN! So buzz off.
Sincerely,
Thatismighty

Out of....curiosity....
I’ve been trying to find the male equivalent of a ‘cougar’. The Internet has given little aid. “Man-cougar” doesn’t seem catchy enough. What I’ve come across on various message boards:
“Panther”
“manther”
“creepy old guy”
“panther daddy”
“Jackal”
“sugar-daddy”
...
Mmmmmm....smoothies....
So Facebook has an application called ‘Social Interview’ where it asks you questions involving your friends and gives you the opportunity to answer them and share the answers with your friend-pals. The questions are like “If they were a flower, what sort of flower would so-and-so be?”. Sometimes it just asks general questions involving yourself. Usually the questions are...
These Small Hours ~ Rob Thomas
Let it go, Let it roll right off your shoulder Don’t you know The hardest part is over Let it in, Let your clarity define you In the end We will only just remember how it feels Our lives are made In these small hours These little wonders, These twists & turns of fate Time falls away, But these small hours, These small hours still remain Let it slide, Let your troubles fall behind you Let...

The Green Archer > The Green Arrow?
So it turns out my subconscious memory betrayed be, and my totally original superhero I created and named “The Green Archer” isn’t all that original in reality. After I gave her the name I had this nagging feeling that I had heard something similar, but I brushed it off. Well, it didn’t go away. So I gave in, went to trusty old Google for wisdom, and typed in “The...

The Mighty Ducks
The Mighty Ducks is one of those classic sports movies that even a non-committal sports fan like me can appreciate. It’s a movie about a lovable band of misfits who make up a junior hockey team and enlist the help of an Emilio Estevez as their lovable misfit coach. It’s hilarious and motivational, and includes a puppy dog version of Joshua Jackson. So, that +...

Idiotic Ad from “Protect Marriage Washington”: In May of 2004, gay marriage was legalized in Scandinavia. What happened? Did you know that, that year alone, suicide rates doubled and the illegal drug rate increased 19 times?
Stephen Colbert: Terrifying. And that ad is no less terrifying just because there is no country called “Scandinavia,” none of the countries...
Something Ails me.
But… I’m not sure what.
But something ails me.
I hack, I wheeze, I ache in the knees.
Something ails me.
My eyes feel like jello, I cough when I mean hello.
Something ails me.
I have a itch in my throat, I’m inside wearing a coat.
Something ails me.
I want to crawl into bed, I want to lay down my head.
Something ails me.
I loose my train of thought...
