well, that was fun. Except now I feel like I haven’t gone to too many fun places…or done many cool things…how depressing…

girl... you never cease to amaze me. Flute playing, candy striping, karaoke singing, skinny dipper. loved it. and hey, think of it this way...
"been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I want to go... who says you can't go home"
(can you hear Jon bon Jovi??)... the moral of the story being that exotic places are over rated and truthfully, truthfully there is no place I'd rather be than here.. enjoying my own backyard with neighbours like you. mwah.
ahhh, LOVE Bon Jovi (kind of a high-school still-think-he's-totally-hot thing).
I dunno, your scorpion sting still takes the cake...and I can't divulge the influence I have to be under in order to sing karaoke ;)
WEll, if it's any consolation I wouldn't wish a scorpion sting on ANYONE. or a stingray attack for that matter... :P do you know I have a picture somewhere with an octopus suckered to my back?? Just a little one, but still.... M-hm. I've led a strange and wild existence. Maybe I should do that 100 things about me tag. one hundred is just too daunting and then it leaves nothing to imgagination.
Hilarious. I think if there were an octopus suckered to my back, no matter how small, no one would be able to snap a picture with my frantic flailing and screaming. :)
You're awesome.
