In the words of LeVar Burton, don’t just take his word for it. Do your research. It is good to be informed. And to, you know, reject heresy and the cheapening of the Word of God.

Honestly, the only thing that could make this video any more perfect would be for my boyfriend to be in it. Other than that? Mike Rowe + Bear Grylls + Deadliest Catch guys = Perfection. I ♥ Discovery Channel.

I am…when I was in junior high, I would have been all over this. It’s too bad that I’m 23 and have absolutely no excuse to go to their concert here in OKC on July 8. Maybe I’ll call my 14-year-old cousin and see if she needs a “chaperon.”

Because I like cheese. The real stuff and this. Warning: Some of this does make me cry and some of these are probably reposts. You can never have enough cheese though.

Men, this will help you get a girlfriend:

Seriously, what woman can’t relate to this one just a little?

I haven’t spoken about this on here yet. Everyone outside of the internet knows, I think. I’ll come back someday and tell you all. Right now, thinking about it, I’m sad. Most of the time I’m good. What happened had to happen.

Until I can actually talk about that, I’ll leave you with this. I’m not sure that a human being can watch this without crying. Especially if you are a dog lover. I’ll tell you, when I was going through all the stuff with Lulu (well, after) this really helped me…let go? Get by? Because I gave her all I knew to give her. Was she properly socialized at a young age? Probably not. Should she have been in the country, on a farm, instead of a (very large) backyard in a town? Probably so. But I quit blaming myself a while back and quit letting other people make me feel awful.

Watch.

I sure do miss you.

Look who I am going to see tonight.

I hope she gets the help she needs. I like her.

i like songs that go la la la and songs that sound like they belong in a music box. and songs people write (for me). and songs with my name in them.

I woke up vomiting in the middle of the night and I’m pretty sure it’s a virus that has been going around my hometown. Now, I haven’t been back there, but I’ve been around my mom and who knows, the same bug is probably crawling all over Walmart. Anyway. Bleh. BUT…there’s this. Someone posted it on a Livejournal community last night. It’ll give you a good laugh.
