So, family members (and you know who you are), i have updated the family site. i upseted the settings, so people can post and it will go through.

i also changed the layout, but if you hate it, i can change it again.

blogger has done a lot to make it really really easy to update, so please drop and drop a line on there in the next day or two with what you have been up to.

let me know what you think, layout and set up wise. i can also arrange to have it set up as a wordpress blog, which might be easier and more user friendly.

Got bored today, went googling. googled both myself (nope, nowhere) and my sisters.

i am now either wanted by the CIA, or a member. i couldnt tell. ive also won spelling bees. who knew?

Natalie was as you would expect, lots about Bushmeat. also, Natalie now competes in horseback riding tournaments, and lives in london. i wonder if Dave knows?

Melisa, did i know you were quoted in an article about the Shepherd funeral? its right here of course, they also said you were a CSU student..i also came up with the monitoring reports on Namaqua. also, you are a nurse.

i love googling. its the funnest EVER. lets go see who Shan is!

I would like to publicly place blame on krispy for my current music choices.

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes are eating my brain as we speak. and as i loudly sing along to a punk cover of “Mandy.”

*facepalm*

ETA: go dress up Johnny Depp. he needs clothes, you know.

So, i have been musing on my personality.

sounds weird, doesnt it?

but, while writing a post for one of my online classes tonight (discussing the properties of an ideal team or something), i looked back over others posts. “Attributes of a Successful Team,” “Team Leadership,” “Successful Teams.” Guess what mine’s called?

“Go Team!”

and for some reason, the contrast in titles there, lead me mentally back to a psych class i took in college. now, i have a minor in psych, i work with special ed kids, psychology is fabulously interesting to me. but, i never felt right in that class. i cant even remember the title, but the theme of the whole class was “Know Thyself.” interesting class, but it was out of place for me.

for example, we were told to bring in a few quotes that speak to us about who we are and the importance of self knowledge. “great! i love quotes! i collect them and have a whole bunch on my website!”

so i select two, and go to class. and then i get there, and people have picked really intelligent sounding things that were twisty and winding and i wondered if these people had spent hours on the net searching for this stuff or if they carried around these amazing quotes everyday and all the time.

and then it gets to me, and all ive got is “a mighty oak was once a little nut that stood its ground,” and “you live and you learn, or you dont live long.”

so, the question is, am i very very immature? completely insane? does my brain work a little differently than everyone else’s?

or were they just being pretenscious (which i just horribly misspelled and mangled, sorry) and trying to impress people with their ever amazing quote skills?
