<p>59. Have you ever been to Six Flags?<br />
Yeah, I should go again soon.</p>
<p>60. How did you get one of your scars?<br />
I have three scars with decent stories.  One, on the front of my shin, is from shaving when I was like&#8230;14.  I sliced my leg open and didn&#8217;t notice until later, and you can totally still tell where it happened.  Another, I was skateboarding (which was not a common activity for me) and I hit a wire in the street and flew off, did a 180 in the air and skidded on my elbow.  The first one I ever had was where I got hit in the face with a rusty shovel that some kids had dug out of a creek and were sliding down a playground slide.  I was really little.  My dad, the eternal hockey player, just put a butterfly bandage on it.  Awesome.  Though I think that scar gets a little harder to see every year.</p>

<p>6. What is your best friend&#8217;s favorite color to decorate with?<br />
Do &#8220;Hanson Posters&#8221; and &#8220;Stuffed Animals&#8221; count as colors?  Kimmy also likes blue, so she might decorate in those colors.  Erika likes blue and brown, she decorates in those colors a lot.  I don&#8217;t know so much about Tim.  He doesn&#8217;t really decorate in colors.</p>
<p>7. What&#8217;s the most unique thing you have in your room?<br />
A collector&#8217;s trading card with a piece of Chief Galen Tyrol&#8217;s flight suit in it.  By nature, that&#8217;s probably the most unique thing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, so I&#8217;ve written this post once already.  But my dad&#8217;s scrollmouse is WAY RETARDED and instead of scrolling up the page, it went back a page and deleted everything I wrote.  And it was relatively huge.  I&#8217;m going to try and recreate it, but I can&#8217;t promise the same zest and/or vigor as in the original.</p>
<p>I realized as I was using my dad&#8217;s computer that if you are running Internet Explorer, you might not realize that there are a bunch of links and archives and stuff in the right-hand column of this site.  Apparently, IE pushes it out of the way, down to the bottom.  If you have to scroll to the bottom to see my links or <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pansyparkinson/">my photobadge</a> from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/">Flickr</a>, you need to switch to <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/">Firefox</a>.  It&#8217;s a brilliant browser, trust me (and you don&#8217;t have to mount the program in Mac anymore like you used to!). </p>
<p>Being home for longer than 14 hours is weird.  I took Friday off of school and decided to come home Thursday night and stay until Saturday morning, because my cousin Jared is in town.  He just finished his Master&#8217;s at Manchester and stopped in Chicago for the week on his way home to Arizona.  I have to admit, I&#8217;m really rather jealous.  I mean, at this rate, I&#8217;d be 29 before I got my Master&#8217;s if I went for it right after I graduated.  And I really need to start teaching if I&#8217;m ever going to retire.  Jared&#8217;s going to take a year off to work and to apply to post-grad programs for his Ph.D.  If that goes according to plan, he will have his Ph.D. the year after I have my B.S. in Theatre Education (with a minor in History Education).  He&#8217;s also a year younger than me.  Talk about depressing.  I could feasibly get my Master&#8217;s while I teach, but I&#8217;m pretty convinced that trying to do that in the first year or two of teaching (which will be stressful enough) could conceivably kill me.</p>
<p>Speaking of teaching, I did my first observations at <a href="http://www.unit5.org/nchs/">Normal Community High School</a> this week and after getting over the initial anxiety, it was pretty phenomenal and I can&#8217;t wait to start teaching.  I really do think this is my calling.  I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing what kind of teacher I become.</p>
<p>Also, my great-uncle Bob might take me to China sometime in the relatively near future.  Apparently he&#8217;s been before with my great-aunt Mary, and she hated it, but he loved it.  We got talking about China at lunch today and he said he thinks he&#8217;s got about 170,000 frequent flyer miles stashed up.  Later, as we were about to leave, he said, &#8220;You know, I&#8217;m half-serious about this China thing.  I might not be able to move as quickly as I did 20 years ago, but I would really love to go back.&#8221;  I told him to sign me up.  How bad-ass would that be?  And I love my Uncle Bob, he&#8217;s a former educator, very personable, and just an all-around great guy.</p>
<p>How&#8217;s that for an update (TWICE, even!), you selfish bastards?</p>
<p>Also, here are the lyrics to a song I heard for the first time tonight and I think I may have never heard a song whose lyrics fit me so well.  I&#8217;m not sure if they&#8217;re exactly right (you can never trust lyrics sites and his official website doesn&#8217;t have lyrics), but I&#8217;m too lazy right now to go out and get my iPod to double-check them <font color="#ff0000">[EDIT: I checked now, and I made a change or two, but I'm pretty sure this is accurate.]</font>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk by <a href="http://www.rufuswainwright.com/">Rufus Wainwright</a></p>
<p>Cigarettes and chocolate milk<br />
These are just a couple of my cravings<br />
Everything it seems I like&#8217;s a little bit stronger<br />
A little bit thicker, a little bit harmful for me</p>
<p>If I should buy jellybeans<br />
Have to eat them all in just one sitting<br />
Everything it seems I like&#8217;s a little bit sweeter<br />
A little bit fatter, a little bit harmful for me</p>
<p>And then there&#8217;s those other things<br />
Which for several reasons we won&#8217;t mention<br />
Everything about them is a little bit stranger, a little bit harder<br />
A little bit deadly</p>
<p>It isn&#8217;t very smart<br />
Tends to make one part<br />
So broken-hearted</p>
<p>Sitting here remembering me<br />
Always been a shoe made for the city<br />
Go ahead accuse me of just singing about places<br />
Where scrappy boy&#8217;s faces have general run of the town</p>
<p>Playing with prodigal sons<br />
Takes a lot of sentimental valiums<br />
Can&#8217;t expect the world to be your Raggedy Andy<br />
While running on empty, you little old doll with a frown</p>
<p>You got to keep in the game<br />
Maintaining mystique while facing forward<br />
I suggest a reading of &#8220;A Lesson In Tightropes&#8221;<br />
Or &#8220;Surfing Your High Hopes&#8221; or &#8220;Adios Kansas&#8221;</p>
<p>It isn&#8217;t very smart<br />
Tends to make one part<br />
So broken-hearted</p>
<p>Still there&#8217;s not a show on my back<br />
Holes are a friendly intervention<br />
I&#8217;m just a little bit heiress, a little bit Irish<br />
A little bit Tower of Pisa<br />
Whenever I see ya<br />
So please be kind if I&#8217;m a mess</p>
<p>Cigarettes and chocolate milk<br />
Cigarettes and chocolate milk</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alright, I&#8217;m going to put this out there: I think Kanye West is a strange guy.  I think all the stuff that happened after Katrina was bonkers.</p>
<p>But I <strong>can not</strong> get enough of &#8220;Golddigger&#8221;.  I <em>love</em> that song.</p>
<p>Anyway, went out with Steven from school and his friends Rita and Kathleen.  We drove all the way to Champaign to go to Joe&#8217;s.  It was worth it, even though the place was kind of dead.  We still had a great time.  We called Rob (since he lives in Champaign) and he came and met us.</p>
<p>All in all, a pretty good night.</p>
<p>Now, if I would only get an email about the job at the summer stock theatre I&#8217;ve been gunning for&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With half an hour to spare, this is my Holidailies post #8.</p>
<p>I had my first night on the floor tonight, and I did well.  I made $61.  Yeah, I know that it&#8217;s mainly because I worked 9 hours rather than the usual 5 at Chili&#8217;s, but the point is that I&#8217;m getting those hours.  Also, that&#8217;s just about 20% on my sales.  I was making about 12% on my sales at Chili&#8217;s.  Maybe I was just unhappy there.  I don&#8217;t know, call me crazy, but working at Denny&#8217;s feels like coming home.  I&#8217;ve spent a large chunk of my life in a Denny&#8217;s, so I feel like I belong there.  Plus, I&#8217;ve already made friends, and that&#8217;s always a plus.  I like the managers (I mean, they have their faults like every other manager, but they&#8217;re much more tolerable than the other ones I&#8217;ve worked with, e.g. Evelina), I like the staff, I love the food (cuz I&#8217;m nuts), and it&#8217;s just all around better.  I worked 9 hours and it felt like 5.  And on top of that, we were dead for a long time, so the time STILL flew.  All in all, it&#8217;s just better.</p>
<p>Being the type of person I am, I don&#8217;t usually listen to new music.  I stick to my CDs, NPR, classic rock and the like.  And also being the type of person I am, I tend to read into songs and see how they apply to my life.  This works especially well with Alanis Morrisette, Fiona Apple, Jewel, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell and other grrrl rockers I idolize.  I had a theory today.  If a song or part of a song particularly applies to my life at the time, it&#8217;s kind of like a tarot reading or a horoscope.  You know how they say any horoscope can apply to anyone at any time and that&#8217;s why they&#8217;re a farce?  I disagree.  I think we read our own meanings into tarot and horoscopes and then we motivate ourselves to apply the change suggested or look out for the pitfalls warned about.  It&#8217;s not about how &#8220;perfect&#8221; a reading is, it&#8217;s about how it makes you as an individual feel.  So as I was listening to Alanis on the way home, a particular part of a song hit me as appropriate to my current situation, and I thought I would copy it down.  Ironically enough, one of the other songs I felt applied was the same song I felt applied to when I broke up with John, and that was a COMPLETELY different situation.  Just interesting how certain songs can make you feel the same way over and over again.  Anyway, without further ado, here is the song, with the particular part that hit me bolded:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;unsent&#8221; by alanis morrisette</p>
<p>dear matthew, i like you a lot.<br />
i realize you’re in a relationship with someone right now,<br />
and i respect that.<br />
i would like you to know that if you’re ever single in the future,<br />
and you want to come visit me in california,<br />
i would be open to spending time with you,<br />
and finding out how old you were when you wrote your first song.</p>
<p>dear jonathan, i liked you too much.<br />
i used to be attracted to boys who would lie to me,<br />
and think solely about themselves,<br />
and you were plenty self-destructive for my taste at the time.<br />
i used to say, &#8216;the more tragic the better.&#8217;<br />
the truth is, whenever i think of the early 90s,<br />
your face comes up with a vengeance like it was yesterday.</p>
<p>dear terrance, i love you muchly.<br />
you’ve been nothing but open-hearted,<br />
and emotionally available and supportive,<br />
and nurturing, and consummately there for me.<br />
i kept drawing you in and pushing you away,<br />
i remember how beautiful it was to fall asleep on your couch,<br />
and cry in front of you for the first time.<br />
you were the best platform from which to jump beyond myself.<br />
what was wrong with me? </p>
<p>dear marcus, you rocked my world.<br />
you had a charismatic way about you with the women,<br />
and you got me seriously thinking about spirituality.<br />
and you would let me get away with kicking my own ass.<br />
but i could never really feel relaxed,<br />
and looked out for around you, though,<br />
and that stopped us from going any further than we did.<br />
and it’s kinda too bad,<br />
because we could’ve had much more fun.</p>
<p><b>dear lou, we learned so much.<br />
i realize we won’t be able to talk for some time,<br />
and i understand that as i do you.<br />
the long distance thing was the hardest,<br />
and we did as well as we could.<br />
we were together during a very tumultuous time in our lives.<br />
i will always have your back and be curious about you,<br />
about your career,<br />
your whereabouts.</b></p></blockquote>
<p>Now on to watch <i>The O.C.</i> and <i>Reunion</i>.</p>

&#8216;Cause I can&#8217;t breathe</p>
<p>Baby, baby don&#8217;t get hooked on me<br />
Baby, baby don&#8217;t get hooked on me<br />
&#8216;Cause I&#8217;ll just use you then I&#8217;ll set you free<br />
Baby, baby don&#8217;t get hooked on me</p>
<p>Girl you&#8217;re a hot blooded woman child<br />
And it&#8217;s warm where you&#8217;re touching me<br />
But I can tell by your trembling smile<br />
You&#8217;re seeing way too much in me</p>
<p>Girl don&#8217;t let your life get<br />
tangled up with mine<br />
&#8216;Cause I&#8217;ll just leave you<br />
I can&#8217;t take no clinging vine</p>
<p>Baby, baby don&#8217;t get hooked on me<br />
Baby, baby don&#8217;t get hooked on me<br />
&#8216;Cause I&#8217;ll just use you then I&#8217;ll set you free<br />
Baby, baby don&#8217;t get hooked on me</p>
<p>Baby, baby don&#8217;t get hooked on me<br />
Baby, baby don&#8217;t get hooked on me<br />
&#8216;Cause I&#8217;ll just use you then I&#8217;ll set you free<br />
Baby, baby don&#8217;t get hooked on me.</p></blockquote>
