I don't really know why you'd be here. I mean, I know I'm the single most interesting person, but don't you people have lives? Really, it's quite sad.

My sister will say I'm copying her, but we are both lacking talent in many of the same areas. Swimming, for instance. Instrumental music, for another instance. Much like Beth, one of the instruments I would love to know how to play is the piano. I can follow melody lines in familiar hymns, but that is the extent of my piano talent.
As I write this I am listening to Vanessa Carlton's album, which, surprisingly, has quite a rock feel. I thought the library was crazy when I saw they had it categorized as "Rock". Even with the mixture of rock and piano I'm not sure, Beth, that you would like it because of her voice. I mean, it's no Mancy....course it's no Adam either. ;)

OK, I don't get why that published twice. And, if you notice, it's not exactly the same post. I went into my list of posts and deleted it and it is no longer listed there, but obviously it's still there. Any suggestions?
Now watch, posting this will fix the problem...
Wow, I am really addicted to the newest Faith Hill CD...
I'm currently questioning my judgement to make a visit to campus today. It is the Wednesday before classes start. The dorms opened today. It's crazy. However, I had to make a little visit to the registrar to request a transcript to be sent to Greenville so I don't have to take PE classes ever again. Yes, this could have been done online, but this way I could also pay for it and not have to worry about that aspect. And it's gone up by $1 in the past year. Whatever. It's the last time I ever have to do it.
Admittedly, all these people coming back to campus is starting to give me a teeny bit of an itch to get back down to Greenville. Most of what's fueling that, however, is that I just want to get this year over with. Oh, sure, I guess I'm also looking forward to seeing my friends again... ;) I also do love that little town...and Jenn and I can visit our antique store and the darling little woman who runs it... :) I just wonder why we can't move it up here to Iowa. I mean, really, it's been down in Southern Illinois for over 100 years...it's time for a change, people! Take some chances! Live a little! Oh yeah, they're Free Methodists...nevermind. ;)
Another thing I'm questioning is, yet again, the fact that my sister is the only person commenting on my blog. Of course, I know of only one other person who has actually checked here anytime recently, so perhaps people just don't know I'm giving them anything new to read. Perhaps it takes too long to load. (I intend to fix that once I get back to fast internet.) Perhaps I'm boring. Perhaps I'm just not writing anything worth commenting on. Perhaps no one loves me. Perhaps I should start having subject lines/titles. Perhaps it is all of these things combined.
Ah, yes, I am boring. Just ask Katie and Hilary. They discovered a couple of weeks ago that my taste in food is supposedly boring: I don't like oriental of any kind, indian, or seafood (the exception being Long John Silvers' fish). I like BBQ, italian, mexican (in moderation), steak, pork, chicken, beef...american food. So they made me go to a Mongolian grill. I survived, but would not choose to go back and would only if forced to again. That, however, prompted Eric to want to invite them to his place so he could smoke some ribs for them and get into a "discussion" with Katie about hunting. I really want to see that, unfortunately I don't think it will happen for a while, if at all. Hmm...especially since I think Katie left for Champaign and the University of Illinois today. Maybe if they ever both visit me... ;)
In other news, my laptop appears to have been stolen sometime in the past week or so. I'm not in much of a mood to talk about it right now, so I will fill ya'll in on it later. I'm ticked off not only at the person who took it, but also at myself for being so stupid. :-P

Really, what possesses me to do such things?
I just walked home from church (approx. 3 miles, for those who don't know)--not uncommon to see me do, however....this time....I was barefoot. That's right, no shoes, no sandals, nothing. I had sandals with me, I just didn't feel like wearing them. I think I must want to be Patty or something. ;) Even worse than that, however, is once I got home I dropped off my bag (including my sandals) and headed back out to walk up to the railroad tracks because it's gotten so it feels weird if I go a day without going there. And that was after inspecting the bottoms of my feet and seeing that I was, in fact, developing some blisters. What's wrong with me? :-P

I've decided to work on my Alaska plans again....who wants to join me? :)
