I have been unfaithful to you, oh great and mighty vox.

Well, actually, I've been unfaithful to all of my blogs/ sites. I shall hang my head and scrape my toe in the dirt, unsure of what to say, how to break the long, uncomfortable silence.

And then I'll tell you that I have 1 week left at work and that I am relieved and happy. Of course, this means that baby's arrival is soon. Very soon. My due date is 3 weeks from today. Yikes!

I think I need to clean up a few things and organize a bit. Because if we have visitors after the baby's born, I will have to borrow someone else's house just to feel comfortable letting them in.

well, i'm not very faithful to this site, am i? it's fun to play with the tools, though.

i graduated. yay! i should get my diploma in about a month. so happy to have that out of the way.

i'm okay, baby's okay, we're all okay right now. tired and crabby, but okay.

One of my girlfriends and I love to do the Monty Python "Bring out your dead" bit. Since I haven't posted in a while, I thought I'd use that as my title. I'm not dead, just still busy! Aren't you tired of hearing me say that? Well, it shouldn't be too much longer, as I will finally be done with school as of next Friday.

Yes, next Friday is graduation day. And if I don't screw up my independent study courses too much, I should be on track to graduate. My time will be more of my own than it has been in about 3 or 4 years. Woohoo! This makes me so happy, I feel like bursting out in a Pink Floyd song.

School's out forever!!!

No grad school for me. Not at this point. There are other irons in the fire right now. I'll try to get back to regular writing once I'm out and back from a short vacation to see everyone back home.

yeah, i'm feeling kindof ambivalent about blogging right now. i just don't have much to say that doesn't involve work, school, or other things i can't talk about right now.

my family has always been really private. they don't think everyone needs to know your business. and that's kind of hard when you're from a small town. everyone knows. so maybe that's why i'm uncomfortable with getting really personal. oh, sometimes i'll post about my angst. but not as much as i could. i guess i just see how cruel people can be when you really put yourself out there. i've seen it happen with bloggers that are honest and raw.

maybe i'm a coward. maybe i don't want to be judged. and maybe i just can't bear to let people to get that close.

it's not even 9 o'clock on Friday night. Yet too many brandy old-fashioined's have left me less than sober. I'll be lucky if any of this is spelled right in the morning.

I blame it on my wisconsin-born best friend. the bithch. hee!

What's the most famous movie you've never seen? 
Submitted by Mike.

Titanic.

So, have you checked out the Self-Portrait project on Flickr? It's called 365 Days and the only requirement is that you take a self portrait every day and upload it. That's it.

And it's become a lot of fun, although I haven't yet gotten into the creative part of it. It's still fun.

Won't you join us?

Day 20/ 365

Have you ever been cheated on? Ever cheated? 
Submitted by Joe. 

I think my ex was cheating on me via the web and phone. Found some clues to support it. It was all long distance, though. They never met in person, to my knowledge. At least, not while we were together.

You must have been a fashion victim at least once in your life. What hideous blunder did you commit? 
Submitted by Tina. 

Shhhhh. I wore leg warmers.

But I was in junior high. Cut me some slack.

How do you pass the time during a flight?  What do you bring in your carry-on?

I usually read or listen to my ipod. Occasionally, I'll use my computer, but there's not really room when the person in front of you leans back. I like to take pictures out the window, too, if I'm near it. I love cloud formations.
