never fully-clothed or intentionally misinforming

Today I'm wearing a shirt that says "Stop the National Forests Giveaway." I traded a guy I know a white, and rather girl-ish, tank top for it during the Fest last year. So I decided I'd write about something environmental. I'm not a globe trotter just yet -- some day, but not yet --But I have seen a fairly decent chunk of the country. And I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the place this photo was taken is, and will always be, my favorite place in the world. This place is located near my parents' house in the National Forest. This ledge I'm sitting on with my sister and friend is on the property adjacent to ours and it overlooks the breathtaking Rodman Reservoir. There's something about sitting on the edge of the water as the sun pours down into the reservoir, and the breeze rolls across the wide open, glassy surface that makes my life so much more worthwhile. Lately I've been feeling a little... whelmed. Sometimes over, sometimes under - never pe...

Flew to California with my sister & met up with a bunch of friends who'd flown from New Hampshire and New Mexico, to see the Price is Right a couple years ago (to bid adieu to Ol' Bobby Barker). While we were there, we went a Tonight Show taping. I started to get the feeling, while we were in California, that all show tapings involve audience Q & A sessions in commercial breaks -- which is awesome. There were (as made apparent by the photograph) six of us at the Tonight Show, but despite our enthusiasm, we didn't get called on to ask him a question (although I had no idea what to ask had I been called on ... maybe something about chin implants?). And of course we were kind of hoping to get some sort of interaction with him. And we really didn't want to go home disappointed. But as he did his sign-off, it became disappointingly clear we weren't going to get an opportunity to shake hands, high five, or make silly comments about his chin being much larger in pe...

So whatever. I'm starting something new. I need to feel inspired. I've been spending a lot of time looking at my own myspace profile lately. I'm trying to decide if I should keep it. This morning I realized this staggering factoid: I have 99 pages of photographs within my Myspace account. Ninety-nine pages of 20 photos each. Holy Hell. For that fact alone, I can't just get rid of my Myspace account. At the same time, I'm such a nomadic networker; I have accounts with all of these sites: xanga (yeah yeah, I know.) livejournal myspace facebook blogger (obviously) twitter interpals postcrossing sparkpeople The first two are the only two that I don't currently log into regularly. So I decided I'll do a neat little memory exercise and share stories with you lovely readers at the same time. Here goes RPT #1: This is Susan, my older sister. We spent last Christmas at the beach and it was beautiful. I think it was our best Christmas experience yet and I hope we mak...
