The Question
By Emery
see related

Without ice... Apollo would be a speed swimmer. And our cokes would be warm.

 

Mmmm, it really is too late to be on here right now, but ehh, I can't help it. Im by myself right now. Most everything is quiet except for the tv in the background, playing the olympics. The U.S. team just got silver in ice dancing, way to go people! Speaking of the Olympics, I watched curling for the first time this ever. It was actually kinda interesting. Alot more thought and strategy goes into that game than I thought. We watched one of the U.S. Finland games. The announcers said that one of the guys on the Finnish team was the "smartest man in Finland." Some uber mathmatician or something like that. Said he could solve the Rubiks Cube in like twenty two seconds... Can you imagine that??? I acn barely figure out how many colors are on that thing in that time, much less figure it all out. Hmm, speaking of which, I think I should go get a rubiks cube and practice. You never know when you might have to solve one of those things.

In other news... I got my shirt Friday. Now, some of you may be thinking, why didnt you have a shirt earlier, and even more importantly, how did I ever go and get groceries without one. Well about the groceries thing, its actually been a while since I ran out to get groceries, most of the time its stuff like dog food, or paper cups, or maybe even drano. The drano I didnt get yet, I was going to today, but got caught up on the computer, and didnt get a chance. We need drano, cause we cant quite figure out why our washer drain is backin up. But where was I anyways...groceries... drano... Oh yes, my shirt. When I say I got my shirt, what I really mean is that I am now officially a manager. At my store, we do a little ceremony where you get a piece of your old shirt cut off(long story) and are then given your new manager shirt and tie and all that. Yes, I now get to wear a tie at work. One word, shibby.  So now I have my keys, and the magic card. Im so glad to be finally done with all that stuff. Its just nice to not have to worry about it anymore. 'Course now I get all the extra responsibility, extra pressure and all that, but hey, at least I got a new purrty maroon shirt.

Contra dancing was last weekend. Or was it the one before it... It already seems like its been so long since it happened. We made most of the crowd out there again. Its so great. Hopefully we can get a big group like that again.

School... gack! With the combination of school and work and everything else, Im gettin my rear end kicked. But I'm doing well, just not alot of time. Speaking of school, this is the last full semester before when I was originally intending to go to the police academy. But I have been rethinking that. I have been entertaining the idea of maybe transfering to a four year college to finish my bachelors before moving on to the police force. I donno, still have some praying and thinking to do about that. Another thing about school... Spring break is coming up soon... what will I do for that, I do not know. If I don't hurry up and think of something, I guess it will just be something monotonous like work, heaven forbid!

Happy Presidents day everybody!!!
I don't know about yall, but I don't remember presidents day being such a big hooplah. I mean, banks closed, no trash pickup, alota schools out... 'Course work wasn't closed, but ehh, we never close. Jay Leno is funny. If Jay Leno is on, I know its late. Ithink I want to be on an Olympic bobsleding team. I think I could do it too. Who knows, I could be the best thing since sliced bread on a bobsled. Umm, that would be me on the bobsled, not the sliced bread on the bobsled. Yeah, cause that would be really weird... Ummmm, moving on. 

 

 

So, I think I decided that I should go out West and go sand boarding for Spring break. What do ya think??

Firstly, obviously managerial status has encouraged you to be more consistent in your posting... we approve of that.  Maroon?!  I still think a black shirt with white spots would be cool...cow spots, not dalmation spots...  I guess I should be glad that you actually have a shirt!

Bobsledding with bread would at least provide you with sustenance.

Yeah, why the big hooplah over Presidents Day....freaky...

"Shibby"?!

I don't know about the sand boarding thing, I'm thinkin' wouldn't that be nasty to have all that sand in your shoes?  Make sure you shake them out and beat them before you enter your mothers domain....

Lastly, I'm glad to see you haven't emigrated....there were once again grumblings to that effect....pray hard about school, we'll be praying for you too....

Give Cortez hugs for us and a "good boy" for the girls.

Love you ,

~Aunt Kathryn

p.s.  I nearly fainted when I saw you'd posted...."I can't take any more surprises!"

Gael, just a thought, but, if you'd like, I can send you the Florida Sheriff's Star, a magazine, and it lists all of the Sheriff's in the state along with their schooling backgrounds, ...you may find it interesting....that is, if you're meglomanic enough to want to shoot for being Sheriff someday....or something like that.  Anyway, I found it interesting.  I might be like Nana and send it whether you like it or not and ask you to send me back a detailed book report on everyone you see in it! ;0)

Love you,

K.

Hey...

Don't know if you're around the xanga world much.. just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know I was thinking about you. It's been a while. Then again, it usually is... Anyway, I heard about the knee injury.. :( I have a lot of friends who have gone through the same thing. Been prayin'. But yeah, just a note to let you know I was wondering how you've been and what you've been up to. Hope all goes well with you. Miss you, Gaelan.

Hi Gaelan!
Long time no talk hon. I am supposed to be working from 9-6 Saturday...so I miiight show up for contra dancing, but we're really shorthanded and I might stick around till close...pure overtime, baby! Anyways, even though I'm a bit late, congrats on the shirt my friend, I still think it's awesome that we got it on the same day! But I have blue and green too, AND maroon!
So I was wondering if you're coming to CWSC this year? and are you coming to ODU? :(
Miss you Gael,
laters

I'm sorry Gael! It just won't be the conference without you...can't we just drug you up and stick you in the corner of the auditorium for a week? ehhh...nevermind.
ok...so i'll rephrase. Criminology, when taught by a 24 year old-just-got-her-masters-and-reads-off-the-powerpoint-and-thats-it, sucks
love ya
