Three things
10.12.05 (7:49 am) [edit]This past summer/early fall has been a whirlwind of exciting events for me. I feel like I am jumping from clifftop to clifftop, having only a moment to catch my breath and aim for the next goal.
Here are three things I have done/experienced that you might not know about:
1. I got to drive a golf cart at my internship's annual charity ball. I escorted scores of people around the Minneapolis convention center in a ball gown!
2. While rollerblading toward the U of M in Minneapolis a car full of people beaned me in the back of my head/neck with a full water bottle from their moving car. (Ouch!!!)
3. This summer I attended a concert with a sideshow of people performing an odd activity. . . They were hooking wires onto metal studs piercing their skin and hanging from the ceiling. Yeah, it was weird.
Communication is a bust
10.08.05 (10:07 pm) [edit]Sometimes, pretty much no matter what I try, I can't communicate with someone. I can be standing in front of them or sitting next to them and they still don't understand a word I say. I can't blame it on long distance or cultural barriers or different languages. It comes down to the fact that I am, apparantly a very, very poor communicator when I try to talk to someone close to me. I have an easier time talking to strangers or casual acquaintances - there is less to lose in a situation like that. I guess I need to go back to communication 101 classes.

10.06.05 (11:31 pm) [edit]Wow - It's funny how much you change in just a few years. This was from 2001 or 2002 (right, Sam?)
And this new one is well, new :)
Grr . . .

Just because I am a Christian
Just because I am nice and empathetic
Just because I haven't stood up for myself in the past
does not mean I am going to allow our student newspaper to be a public relations device. I am not going to shy away from difficult or controversial subjects that deserve coverage.
I mean what I say and it makes me angry for people to think this newspaper is a joke. It makes me angry that people think they can push the paper around and believe it is insignificant.
