wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

MY HAIR IS GROWING!!!!! this is my super excited post!!!!!! i'm JUST SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

it started about a month ago and it was a little shaky for a while. i had a ridiculous looking mohwak style for a while, but it's started to even itself out. i'm just SO incredibly thrilled.

Wow... i was MIA for a LOOONG time. My computer crashed and school has taken away my life... LOL anyway... i'm back.

:-) treatment seems to be working, maybe? I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much. My mom is already convinced that in the space of weeks I'll have all my hair back. I know that's not going to be the case, but I can't convince her of that. Oh well. :-(

Hang in there everyone, hopefully I'll be around more.

The celtic knot represents my Irish heritage, the unending love I have for my life, my family, and the fact that everything I do is connected to the "bigger picture".

My first tattoo

I'm so proud. I have wanted to get a tattoo for as long as I can remember, but I always put it off. I figured it was a stupid idea for me.... I was worried about how much it would hurt, and all that stuff...



NOT anymore! I took the bull by the horns and did it. I got my first (of what will probably be MANY tattoos).



I spent a lot of time researching and ended up going to a local guy who is well known in our community and does GREAT work. I'm so happy with… Continue

I'm sad today

Posted on October 29, 2008 at 1:30pm 3 Comments

Don't know why but I'm sad. I miss my hair, but that's not the only thing. I'm really down today.

Ugh. I hate this.

Quotes:

When I get a little money, I buy books. If I have any left over, I buy food...

Be kind to everyone you meet, for we are all fighting some kind of battle...

As every cat owner knows, you don't own a cat.

A dog is man's best friend because he licks your face after you've left him alone all day.

May those who love us, love us
And those who don't love us, may God turn their hearts,
And if he doesn't turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles, so we may know them by their limping.

If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about the answers. - Thomas Pynchon

Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. - Mark Twain, Notebook 1904


There are only two things to worry about: either you are well or you are sick.
If you are well, then there is nothing to worry about, but if you are sick there are two things for you to worry about.
Either you get well or you will die. If you get well, then there is nothing to worry about.
If you die, then there are two things to worry about: either you go up or you go down. If you go up, then there is nothing to worry about. But if you go down, you will be so busy shaking hands with old friends you won't have time to worry.

Hi Reen,
Just wanted to say Hi and enjoyed your quotes and the cute photos.
We have a dog and she's great, but I do miss having a cat around the house. They are just so different to dogs
