Just a thought
Does anyone else see that continuously comparing Obama to Lincoln is a really bad idea? I mean, we all know how Lincoln ended up. I'm just sayin'.

Your MOM is honest!
This is the second or third time I've been tagged for that "Honesty" thing, so I figured I'd better do it now.
So now I have to write ten random honest things about myself then tag seven other people who blog. This should be interesting since I have like two whole readers on here.
Here's my ten:
One - Around Christmastime when I has six, maybe seven, my mom told me to leave the Christmas lights on the tree alone. She told me that every year. This time I didn't listen and I went to plug them in. I must have been touching the metal of the plug because then I felt a poweful zap and saw everything in skeleton vision (ya know, like in cartoons when a character gets electrocuted). How much does that explain about me! Oh, and I don't think I ever told her. The currents through my body was enough to keep me from doing it again. I didn't need to be yelled at.
Two - Sometimes at night, especially if everyone else is asleep already, I still have to take a flying leap from the middle of my room to my bed so the monsters underneath can't grab me. I also have to sleep with my fingers and toes under a pillow or blankets so said monsters won't eat them while I slumber.
Three - I HATE being in school. I love teaching. I hate studenting. (I have an English degree. I can make up words.)
Four - I loathe drivers from Oregon. The speed limit is 65 buddy!!!
Five - I regret giving up choir. I know one is supposed to live life without regrets, but I was happiest when I was singing and I never should have given it up. Karaoke's just not the same.
Six - I spend way too much time driving and on the computer - not simultaneously of course.
Seven - I refuse to drink the water at work because I am convinced that I will be the next one to be knocked up. Seriously.
Eight - Sometimes while driving to work I space out for miles and can't remember the drive from the levee to the freeway. It really freaks me out when I do this in the fog.
Nine - I recently started going back to church and love it. I don't know why I stopped going for so long.
Ten - My favorite place to go is the beach. When I die, I want to be scattered at the beach. Beach location to be determined at a later date.
These seven people need to do their own list now. You're welcome!

A plug for drinking...
The evening before New Year's Eve I decided to finally get my papers done for an online class I'd signed up for through University of San Diego. I had to read a book and then complete four papers on different prompts for the book. Well, I read the book last summer and never got around to writing the papers. I mean, I had nine months to complete this thing... what can I say? I'm a procrastinator.
So anyway, I'm at the counter working on the first paper (by the way, I don't do drafts) and my sister pops open a bottle of wine. Who am I to turn that down. Wine hits me FAST and before I knew it I was on my second paper with a happy little buzz. By the fourth paper I was definitely drunk but was as focused as ever to finish this paper. Well I did, and then I thought to myself, "Self, should I review these in the morning before I fax them off for a grade?" NOPE. I had them faxed over that evening, which was difficult because I have a hard enough time with fax machines when I'm sober, but I got it through.
I got my grade in the mail on Friday and managed to get an A for my thoughtful analysis and response! I should have drunk more in college. I would have been a much better English student and had a much better transcript. :)

Highs and Lows - 1/5/09
My high for today was that I got an email from a director in Indiana who said he heard some great things about my musical that I finished last month and wanted to know if I could help him out with his show. INDIANA!!! I mean, I knew I was a rock star, but damn! HAHA!!
My low for today was that I had to get up early this morning.
