Also, quite briefly, since I am now 21, I decided to treat myself to a little drink as I watched the super bowl last night. Alcohol triggers my gag reflex, so I am trying to find ways to make it slightly more palatable. Last night I discovered that a quarter cup of white wine, with three quarters cup of Diet Coke suits me just fine: heavy on the Diet Coke, extremely light on the white wine. Plus, I threw a little ice in the glass.
Just so that everyone knows, when I took a career and personality test, I scored extremely low on the adventurous category. I say, why ferment the fruit juice when Sam's Choice grape juice tastes so much better?
About Me
- Elizabeth
- One of my mom's favorite stories about me regards my behavior at an airport terminal as a small child. Instead of sitting quietly, whining, or begging for food while waiting to board, I walked up to the chairs of strangers, stood in front of them, and stared for a long time. With my blonde hair and innocent expression, surely they initially felt that I was just cute and naive. But after a while, I'm sure it made them uncomfortable. While I no longer stare noticeably at strangers, observing ordinary people and events is still a favorite pastime of mine. Sometimes I like to jot down my observations, which are sometimes quirky, and almost always verbose. This blog is an outlet for my mental ramblings in the hope that my thoughts will interest and entertain. The more mundane details of my life are as follows: recent college grad, degree in English Education, living outside of a large city, member of a large family, daughter of a pastor, and lover of good books.

I'm not going to lie, I'm a little insulted about you not having enough material in Indiana. First of all, Thoreau (yes, I did have to google the spelling on that, I didn't have you around to consult) shut himself up by a little pond and he's famous. Famous. Trust me, I've heard lots of people talk about him. I think Satterlee's a big fan. Second of all, you had PLENTY of material. Did you ever think to look in your own apartment? I mean, crazy things were happening! But now you're a city girl and you have bigger things to write about. Whatever. But even without exciting surroundings, I love to read what you write. It's like the 5th best thing to having you hear. Some of the higher ranking things are phone conversations, e-mails, facebook shaboublies, and the like. So keep writing, wherever you are. Unless you're with me, in which case you need to stop writing and start snuggling.
I should proofread my stuff, I know you will. That should be, "having you here".
My dear, if you're going to start mixing coke with alcohol...I suggest rum. :)
Oh, and I'm very excited for your Chicago adventures. But I'm not going to lie - I'm even more excited about you joining me in South Korea.
Love you. Keep in touch.
