if you just hold in your breath...

Things that I think as of 6/28/09... (in no particular order)

1) I need to try new foods. I went to Wegmans yesterday, and wow, they have a lot of things I've never even heard of before.
2) The whole argument that gay couples shouldn't be allowed to have kids and/or get married because people will be mean to their kids makes no sense. Yes, let's cater to the bigots among us. In the word(s) of Kate Gosselin, "HELLO!?"
3) ... and don't even get me started on the whole Jon and Kate thing. Well, I seem to have started myself, so can I just ask why we need to know the kids' reactions to the divorce? Some things really need to be kept private. *sends hugs to them* OH and this is so weird, when I was at Wegmans waiting to check out, one of the tabloids had pictures of Kate crying, something about her tears... and the cover of this particular one was wet. Like, water-dripping wet. Weird!
4) Making the dean's list makes me happy, especially when they send a fun little certificate that I can hang on the fridge.
5) I heart Phillies items, even when they are not playing so well. And I heart the team, of course.
6) I also heart my new adorable apron and matching oven mitts. Fun! Now if I can just learn how to cook... but even if I burn everything, at least I'll still look cool?
7) Everyone needs to STOP dying. Now it's Billy Mays! Sad!
8) I really like my story. It makes me happy. Because it is mostly done and I am just editing now, and I will have reached my goal of finishing it by the end of June! Yes! And I have a very creepy idea for my next one, and my mom was like, "You know I'm not going to read it, right?" Gracias, madre.
9) I want to get better at Spanish, and I want to learn sign language, too. I am planning on doing both of those things when I switch campuses (in January, thanks to my Praxis-passing skills! Yes!)
10) I have found ways to calm myself down, and I love it. I never want to feel like I used to feel ever again.
