I’m Not Dead, I Promise March 29, 2008
I was getting pretty good at writing blog posts there for a while … I’m going to attribute it to the fact that I was avoiding working on my thesis.
Speaking of – I PASSED MY DEFENSE! Woohoo! I’ll write a more substantial post later; I’m at my grandparents’ house in Tyler right now and am gathering stories to tell. And there are plenty.
Smooches!

83. I have a massive fear of open heights (i.e. ferris wheels, cliffs, etc.).

88. I’ve never been on a for real date … not for lack of wanting.
89. I just found out that I’m actually half Irish. Slainte!

71. I will judge you for your bad grammar.
72. I’ve seen Phantom of the Opera (live) more than any other musical.
73. Sometimes I wish I was famous just so I could have great clothes and be on a best-dressed list. I know it’s far-fetched.
74. I was in the hospital for a week in the 9th grade, and the doctors never figured out what was wrong with me.
75. I prefer milk chocolate to white chocolate, and dark chocolate to milk chocolate. But I still love all of them.

100 Things About Me (61-70) March 9, 2008
61. I have a (not so) secret love for hip-hop …
