Blast from the Past #3

I met Susan while in D.C. This was written April 14th, 1998. I had forgotten about the scholarship and the fact that I loved calculus. Hmm....

K,

Waz up? Sorry I took I while to write back. It was because I was moving and I just wanted to wait so you could get my new address. I didn't move that far from my old house. My parents just wanted a smaller house since it would only be the two of them after I go to college. I didn't get accepted into UCLA so I guess I'm going to UC San Diego. That's good though because I'll be sort of near my boyfriend. He's going to San Diego State. So you had a cheerleading scholarship, that's so cool! That must mean you're like a psycho good cheerleader. I wanted to try out for cheer my senior year, but I didn't. I played volleyball instead. I wish I would've tried out though. It was so funny because everyone thought I was a cheerleader in D.C. I don't know why. So you're taking analytical calculus. That sucks! I'm in calculus now and I'm doing bad, well I'm doing better that I was at the beginning of the year. I was failing first quarter. I absolutely hate calculus! I'm gonna die in college. I thought it over, and decided that I'm gonna still try to go into medicine. That made my mom really happy. Anyways, I saw "Wild Things" and it was such a good movie. I think I saw it the day it came out. I saw "Grease" in the theatre and I really want to see "City of Angels." I love Nicolas Cage! This girl was telling me that she cried more in that than in "Titanic." I only got teary-eyed in "Titanic" so maybe I'll cry in "City of Angels". I just got off my spring break. I didn't do much but pack, sleep and I went to Disneyland. I hadn't been to D-land for like two years. It was so much fun! I mad my boyfriend, Scott, buy me Minnie Mouse ears. They're so cute. I was wearing them around all day like a real tourist. Being the procrastinator that I am, I ordered my senior pictures just a few weeks ago. They should be done like some time next week. I'll be sure to sen you one. Do you watch Dawson's Creek? You're probably too mature for the show, but I totally love it. I have to admit it is sometimes gay, but I still watch. I watch Buffy too. I still watch 90210, I like Ally McBeal. The show Dharma & Greg is funny too but it's on the same time as 90210. You remind me of Dharma for some reason. I think it's your hair. As you can see I watch too much TV. Well, I'm going now. I hope you're not stressed out with school or anything. Bye!

Susan

If you are a woman...

then you simply MUST watch this!! It is hilarious!

Not much

I spent my last day as a floral designer Saturday and I could not be happier! Although I know I'm good at it it is a very exhausting, stressfull occupation---especially around Mother's Day. Farmer Ted and I made arrangements for Vegas in June and I started working through a legal writing workbook with some new online friends recently. I have several book and movie reviews to post and laughs to share. Hopefully this will be the week to crack into them. I only have 2.5 weeks of school left and I'm hoping they'll fly by! I need a break in routine! Thankfully my summer of watching a set of twins should be relaxing. We'll see....

Something Uplifting

This makes me proud to say I'm from Washington state, and glad to know that small towns still hold good people.

Blast from the Past #2

This letter was postmarked June 14, 1993. I had just graduated the 8th grade! The shaving reference was due to the world's worst perm ever! See this posting if you're lost.

K,

Hi schools fine. Congrads you've graduated! How was the dance? Meet any cute guys? Why did you shave the back of your head? Is it a new fashion faze or something but thats ok if you did. I guess it doesn't matter if Josh is cute or hot because he's not going; his parents decided it was to inconvenient (wow thats a doozy!) Bring your swiming suit to camp and I'll tell you if you look good in it or not, but ya probably do don't worry. I don't have a fax but at camp brin a camera and take a picture of my butt. Why not, I don't care. Did you have any cavities in the dentist? Last check up I didn't have one. WOW I'm a stud!
Screw your friend's boyfriends. I am actually equal to five guys! (strength and all) Send me a school picture of yourself so I can marvel at your hair. (Did you have it shaved or not then?) I already comitted suicide but I'm still alive so I'll read ya soon!

Love,
DB

P.S. What is 5 * 12 / the square root of seven to the fifth power. There is a nice shiny nickel in for it!!

P.P.S. You owe me $10! Visa is accepted!

• wishing Farmer Ted had not found this posting this morning
• finished some reading with reviews to come shortly
• am waiting for my orange juice to arrive
• forgot that my sister had a baby and became the worst Auntie eva! I'm horrible!
  

BTT: Mayday

Quick! It’s an emergency! You just got an urgent call about a family emergency and had to rush to the airport with barely time to grab your wallet and your passport. But now, you’re stuck at the airport with nothing to read. What do you do??

And, no, you did NOT have time to grab your bookbag, or the book next to your bed. You were . . . grocery shopping when you got the call and have nothing with you but your wallet and your passport (which you fortuitously brought with you in case they asked for ID in the ethnic food aisle). This is hypothetical, remember….

In the past I have purchased magazines and thoroughly read the newspaper IF I am not too busy worrying about my family. There have been times where I asserted myself to ask others in the waiting room if I may read their purchased magazines. Other times I have just read through the book summaries and thought of purchasing one however I am always aware that I could purchase the book used or check it out from the library if I just patiently wait. The same kind of situation applies to the airport although I usually have at least one book to read while there.

On a different note I laughed at the Mayday title! Since it actually is May Day! Happy May Day!!
