New Look!

So not only was my last blog post kinda heavy and dark, but so was my background!

I decided I needed to lighten up the blog, both in substance and in style, especially with spring 1 month away!

What do you think about it?!?!?

I LOVE it!!

It seems so airy and delicate and just speaks lightness to me!

Hopefully this can transfer into other areas of my life as well :-)

North to the Future?!

I was looking at my stats for my blog and saw that someone from the great state of Alaska has/is/was reading my blog ::dear god, please do not let it be Sarah Palin as I don't think she will like THIS post:: Just kidding, I actually think that is kinda cool!

eh

i haven't felt like blogging in a while... hopefully that will change soon.

adios readers.

Updates

three things:

1. comments are back.
2. blog is now "public" again because apparently i had to send out invites to people- LAME.
3. in january of this year, i think, i posted a blog about how i wish i could read a book that discussed where different words came from. well, i didnt find a book, but i did find an awesome podcast. its by NPR and it is called "A Way With Words". it is free and it is one of the most interesting podcasts i listen to. check it out!

time flys by

i've had this blog for nearly 3 years. tonight i was reading some of my early posts and it made me realize how much has changed: the subject matters, the style, the outlook. they are all completely different. that does not surprise me one bit because anyone who knows me knows that one of my personal goals in life is to constantly evolve and become a better person. that cant happen without change. while most of my changes and evolution have been positive, there have been some negative changes or backsliding that has occurred over the past 3 years. but u know what man, thats what life is about. u live and u learn and u either try to change or u become complacent. and depending on the type of person u are either choice can be okay. im proud of myself. im proud of the person, the woman, that i am becoming. im not without fault and by no means perfect but i feel like everyday i get to know myself a little bit better and this blog is evidence of that...

changes

im changing my blog settings to be by invitation only because i just realized that since it is public, anyone can find it through a search. that weirds me out. so if u cant view it anymore just ask/request an invite!

Such A Great Blog

No i am not talking about my own- although I am sure we all agree I could be ;-)

I am talking about this Matt, Liz, and Madeline

You should check it out. Its so inspiring and sad and terrible and beautiful and devastating all at the same time.

I wish Matt and Maddy the best of luck throughout both their lives.

xoxoxo

If you wanna laugh

then you can watch me do pilates. Just Kidding!

But really, if you wanna laugh, check out this site it is absolutely hilarious!!

Passive Aggressive Notes

Enjoy!!

marathon. HA!

so there will be no marathon blogging today because instead of taking intro to mediation, i decided that i would try to get a directed study instead. lets hope Professor W. writes me back and allows me to do one with her. and lets really hope she allows me to expand on the paper i wrote in the fall because that would make it so much easier!!

its MY space not YOUR space

sometimes i have a tendency to censor myself when i write my blogs. i start to think that i cant talk about certain things or people or situations because what if someone gets mad or what if i dont feel like that next week and its out there. but i just decided that i dont give a fuck what anyone thinks about what i write. if they don't like it then stop reading my blog. i am not going to limit myself. im honest in real life so why not here. . . after all this is MY blog not anyone else's blog! Phew!!

So as of 12:51 am on October 21, 2008 I hereby enact the first amendment of Rachel's constitution which includes but is not limited to freedom of speech and freedom of the press. :-)
