Speaking of the mean world... when I was young and living in a northern town... although the town was small I still had one of those security words in case some stranger came and tried to convince me that my parents had sent him or her to pick me up. I was quite skeptical of this situation because, as I told my teachers,...
I find it essential to sometimes rent a series of bad movies and indulge in a bad movie marathon. As I am sure we are all familiar, selecting bad movies is far easier to do than selecting good movies. I don't really have any particular strategy... I usually employ the random browsing method... and pick out movies that I would be shamed to...
When my stress level is high, ironically I turn to the books. Studying is what takes my mind off of what bothers me (except of course when it is studying that is bothering me). Then my mind cannot wander aimlessly or dwell on the same unsettling issue that I may be preoccupied with. Relaxing takes work. How strange. ...
There are 19 candidates for the RRU Board of Governor's Learner Representative Position. It's crazy and wonderful all at the same time.

I needed to escape the computer, or as my one brother calls it... my umbilical cord. This has turned out to be my weekend of library excursions... I hit up...
My blog is growing in popularity. I have a readership of at least two, and already I have submissions for a guest column. Without further ado here is a recently published piece written by my brother (a lanky fellow in his late twenties). This charming article was featured in the final issue of good girl magazine, a quarterly dedicated to publishing ideas that...
I was always afraid of strangers. I tended to avoid conversation with people that I did not know as much as I possibly could. For example, if I were sent to the grocery store on an errand and I could not find the item that I had been sent for, rather than ask one of the numerous stockboys (they tended to be boys...
