Two, and three.

**This was totally supposed to be edited before it was posted. Then I got sick and nearly DIED due to a small head cold :P... the nearly dying may be a bit exaggerated. Anyways this wasn't the whole post and it looks horrible and ick.** Alliance vs Horde. Battleground speed vs. guild. Story vs. Friends. Differences in kiddos. How she's very screamy and princessy and he's very cuddle based and grimey. Serious posts. Change in blog overarching themes. Things like this. As we have grown more comfortable with our schooling and personal development you can see the change in how we write. You see me dealing with my very real lack of a political foundation. You see both of us working through our organizational failings. You see us posting more of our history love. You get our endless exercise posts. And our fiction and our wow slides to the back burner. Does this make you more likely to skip us in the reader? Because we've changed from the themes you came to r...

At least I'd like to be. We've had two days of idleness-last Friday (day after our finals were done) and today. I worked all weekend, but between the days of idleness and Damm and I both being sick, a lot of t.v. has been watched and a lot of books read these past four days. And that's ok. Growing up I remember watching quite a bit of t.v., and when my mother started a book she became absolutely useless until she finished it. I got my love of reading from her. But I'm done. I've never done well with too much empty time. I remember one summer I checked out a bunch of Victoria Holt books on cassette (this was over ten years ago:) and copied the girls section out of a baby name book. I like names. And I don't like being idle. So after I finish the series by Julie E. Czerneda (my new favorite scifi author) I've got a bunch of projects I want to do. Item one: go through our file cabinet. I save everything, including highschool papers. So it should be interesting...

" And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend, legend became myth ..." (Galadriel, LOTR) (Warning: the images contained in the first link could be considered too graphic; I know that my dad was unable to access it at work.) This semester our history-the United States history-has been made painfully real. Things that should never have been forgotten are now not spoken of; a past that contained bloody secrets has been remembered as an era of glory. This is a website dedicated to remembering the lynchings that took place in the United States for 100 years, starting with the end of the Civil War. Almost every state could boast a lynching, or, as it was also referred to, a "black barbecue". People made postcards of the pictures taken of the hanged black people, many of whom had been tortured with the aim of producing exquisite pain. It was a point of pride to have attended a lynching. This is a video of Billie Holiday singing a ...

Four 8-10 page research papers. One 5-minute presentation. One film review. An empty printer ink cartridge. Half a tree's worth of paper used in printing all materials for my research papers (I'm kidding, at least I hope. I'm not purposefully wasteful). That was my finals week. And I'm done. done done done done done. .... .... .... Ok. I'm bored now.

I'm finally done with school this semester. I might actually take time to visit with guildies tonight. That is so awesome. So I'm writing my "I'm done post". Wulfa has about an hour or two more before she turns in her final paper and writes *HER* "I'm done post". School had its ups and downs this semester. We averaged about 3.5 posts a week. I don't think we had any major posts of earth rattling importance. We dealt with black widows, election thoughts, and a lot of time management. We played WoW more than we thought we would and less than we had in previous semesters. We didn't have any complete and total emotional breakdowns(we did get very very close several times though). ROTC provided a great deal of financial security and a HUGE amount of stress and frustration. Orclette started gymnastics and that has turned into a great huge amazing success. Oh and she's effectively potty trained at this point. Also a happy new thin...
