I was feeling nostalgic yesterday, and I was remembering some of the times I've had growing up. There's a few things that have happened that I remember really well, and I think made lasting impacts on me. I wrote a Narrative essay for english last semester on one, and I thought I'd share it with all of you.

I notice an interesting personality development.
When I'm talking to people (IRL I mean) I usually don't worry too much about what I say, if i end up sounding silly or stupid. I don't know why, I guess I just don't mind laughing at myself it it comes out all wrong.
But here online I notice it is often different. I can't really explain it....

yeah i'll probably be able to update the journal occasionally while i'm gone, but i won't get to scan pictures 
citrus:
it is an interesting dynamic...
but just think, in person, people get so much MORE of you - and it's funny i type that because i have stated before that people get more of another person HERE. i just think what we are capable of sharing in "real life" versus through "text" is just different.
sometimes we are more in tune and in position to manipulate our thoughts, perfect them a bit, if you will. but we don't have the body language portion of communication here so much as we do in person. the whole presence, i suppose.
meh
i don't know if i care either way. i mean i must because i strive to be better and sure i can tell myself i want to impress only myself all i want to and it's really ridiculous.
i don't know how much fun this whole experience would be if i didn't have others to interact with on some level.
aaaaand... there is another conversation to tangent from.
*ahem*
i'm weird and self conscious, too... but self awareness is important and can, as anything else, be abused
i'menrd and self conscious in a similar manner as you insinuate you are in this entry.
but uhm...
oh well, whatever, nevermind
besides, the truth is subjective - that's my story and i'm sticking to it, until, of course, i change my mind.

So, we've been discussing ethics is philosophy, and I have an ethical question I wish to pose.
"Do you have an obligation to your peers, Moral, Practical or otherwise to post even if you don't have anything to say or anything new to update?"
Not much happened to me today...
We bought a cantaloupe, and because I'm not sure of the answer to my question,...

Not at all, and if you got that impression I am sorry. If anything I was stating that you discourse on cantaloupe was a perfect exmple of what constitues profound wisdom. 
masaba:
actually, i plan to be there for 3 months...i'm not going to try to see everything in every country, because i know i will be back...
thanks for the ideas
thanks for the ideas
I'm feeling better today, the antibiotics are doing their job.
Practicals are all finished. And my essay for the CIA is just about done.
All stress is melting away. YAY!
Now to work to plan for the sushi party. Hope lots of people are planning on coming!

I seem to be rollercoastering alot lately.
I woke up this morning really sick, I have a realy bad sore throat. I had to go see a doctor, and I don't have insurance so that sucked. Alot.
He gave me a prescription, and some decongestants, he gave me those free though, that was nice, I got these really big amoxicillin tablets. they're not horse pills,...

I give you special "feel better voodoo" just for you, take it and be merry.
*** Practicals, Practicals, Practicals ***
I have both my practicals today! YAY!
This morning I had basic food prep, I had to make a hollandaise with asparagus, and a cream of broccoli soup. I got a perfect score on the cream of broccoli soup, but missed a couple points on the hollandaise because I slightly oversalted it, even though it was perfect with the asparagus,...

I haven't liked much of the sushi I've tried, but that sounds like a fun theme for a party.
Last night was a 5 Martini night.
I just can't stay away from the hard stuff when I go out. I went out with my students from class at work. It's funny I think I was the youngest one there. It was alot of fun.
The big topic of the night seemed to be my sexuality. It was kinda odd, but it led to good...

That's too weird. Tuesday night was martini night for me as well. I just wish I had stopped at 5, or 10. Not that I got sick 
I just don't like to be that out of control.
Spent Wednesday making the rounds to a few bars. Had a designated driver this time. Gotta love St. Patty's Day, good excuse to get slobbering drunk.
I too have had the sexuality questioned. Although mine didn't lead to hugs, kisses, or support. What do you expect from a bunch of drunken soccer people?
Have a great day, I'm spending mine with my son. Talk to you soon.

Hey, we hung out all yesterday into the evening...you shoulda called. Did you have a good weekend?
Okay, had the potluck two nights ago.
Awesome time, I didn't even make it to twister, I got started on the whiskey early, and between wine and shots, got knocked out pretty quick
I was out most of sunday too.
No more shots next time, just stick with good old beer! We germans do better with the good old fashioned bock's anyways.
St. Patty's coming...

Thanks. Glad to hear that you are doing better. Are you showing up to the parade? No shots this time!
So it's rather boring sitting here without a car while those *wonderful* insurance people do their appraisals and fix it
I'm reduced to rotting my brain watching worthless television, how is it, that with all those channels, MTV's worthless programming is the most entertaining. Maybe I'll go for a walk or something...
