I got tagged.
The Rules:

1. Go to your documents/pictures.

2. Go to your 6th file.

3. Go to your 6th picture.

4. Blog about it.

5. Tag 6 people to do the same.

Well, this picture's pretty lame. I thought about cheating so I could post a fun picture, but I really just couldn't bring myself to it. Anyways, this is when my car got totaled. Mine's the blue Lexus ES300 on the bottom. Basically, this elderly lady (had to be close to 100) drove over a wall and parked her car on top of my car. This picture was taken while the tow truck was pulling her car off. In the end, my windsheild was busted, hood cruched, fender bukled, and bumper falling off. Plus, she knocked the muffler loose and unaligned the tires. Terrible, I know.

The worst part was that not even a minute before, I was under my hood checking my oil level. If she would have been a minute earlier, I would probly be dead right now. Makes you appreciate life a little more. Huh?

25 Things You Didn't Know About Me

I got tagged on facebook, so I figured since I already put the work into it I should post it here to. Here are 25 facts that you didn't know about me. : )

1. I am totally technologically challenged. I already typed up this entire list and accidentally deleted it.
2. I am a closet sugar eater. Shhhh! Don't Tell. ; )
3. My car is the loudest at Wilson Central (and not on purpose).
4. I drink organic milk from a farm in Rock Springs. It's chunky. : /
5. I get up at 4:00 a.m. every morning.
6. I love the smell of charcoal and wood burning.
7. I can grill babyback ribs. I even have a secret barbecue sauce recipe.
8. I hate Popsicles. Thinking about them makes my teeth hurt.
9. I hate KFC. The smell makes me sick.
10. I am completely unmotivated. I have no idea what I want to do with my life, despite what I might tell you.

13. My favorite movie is Mulan. I sing all the songs in the shower. : )

I was Tagged

This is my first tag, so I'm not entirely sure what to do. The rules say you must:

1. Grab the nearest book
2. Open to page 56
3. Find the Fifth Sentence
4. Post the text of the next 2 to 5 sentences
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual book. Pick the CLOSEST!

My closest book was The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston. But . . . page 56 was blank, so I went to the second closest, Billy Budd. This book is by Herman Melville. (The guy who wrote Moby Dick.) Yeah, it's pretty much my personal demon. We're doing a project with it in Senior English.

Here's page 56, line five, "the man who, to use Billy's own expression 'always had a pleasant word for him.' This is to be wondered at. Yet, not so much to be wondered at. In some matters, some sailors even in mature life remain unsophisticated enough."

The last line is sorta deep, though, don't you think?
