So last Saturday I deleted all of my blog. I'd accumulated, I dunno, 7 or 8 posts. Why? Most of it detailed my (unrequited) crush on a guy I'll call Tony. If I'm super bored tomorrow maybe I'll relive my anguish all over it again, so the 8 people who have stopped by can point and laugh at me. But I won't get in to it now.
Anyone who is reading this should also stop by these blogs and give them a read. They are (in no particular order):

This blog will largely be about my stupid and pathetic life. And me whining most of the time. All of the time, actually.
Hmmm, what can I say about myself?? I'm just a typical girl, trying to finish college. My favourite bands are No Doubt, Evanescence, Linkin Park, The Distillers, Dido, Christina Aguilera, Echobelly, Bif Naked, Metallica. The last two movies I saw in the theatre were King Arthur and The Village. (I give them both my personal thumbs up.)
Beloved TV series include: Farscape, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel: The Series, Wonderfalls, Tru Calling, and Joan of Arcadia. Hey, it's not my fault that the networks are all incredibly BLOODY stupid and cancelled three of these. Fellow Farscapers--- how excited are you all? The Peacekeeper Wars is out this fall! (Squeal of delight!) Angel fans: There may be a Spike- centric movie on TV. (Nothing concrete as yet.)
I also love to read but (shame!) have fallen quite a bit behind this summer. The last books I read were : "The Hobbit" by J.R.R Tolkien, "Farscape: Dark Side of the Sun" by Andrew Dymond, and "Dispatches" by Michael Herr. Also, I read the graphic novel "Death: At Death's Door" by Jill Thompson. Since February, I've been reading "Dune" by Frank Herbert. I always feel really guilty if I don't finish reading a book and always try to finish every one I start. Also, I read a pretty interesting book for my women's history class last semester. I can't remember the author but it was called Love and Toil: Motherhood in Outcast London. I'm always in the market for a good book-- so if you'd like to recommend one, feel free.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans should definitely read "Spike & Dru: Pretty Maids All In A Row" by Christopher Golden. I read this before season 7 and kept wondering if the episodes were going to closely follow what happened in the book. The great thing about this book is that both die-hard BtVS fans and newbies can equally enjoy it.
In my part of California, mosquitoes are rarely a problem. I've never even been bitten or stung by one. But just now I've noticed all these itchy... bumps on my left leg. They can't be fleas because my dog takes those pooch pills that kill fleas. I couldn't help myself, I scratched at it. Quite a bit. Which just made it worse. (Looks at leg, pokes it....eeew!! What could it be?)
Tonight's song:
"Just A Girl" (G. Stefani, T. Dumont)
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed
And it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know
exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me to hold your hand
Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me
Well Don't let me out of your sight
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights
Ohhh...... I've had it up to here
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
For me to run and hide
I can't do the little things
I hold so dear
Cause it's all those little things
That I fear
Cause I'm just a girl,
I'd rather not be
'Cause they won't let me drive
Late at night
I'm just a girl
Guess I'm some kind of freak
Cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes
Oh, I'm just a girl,
Take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype
Ohhh.... I've had it up to here
Ohhh, am I making myself clear?
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world
Because that's all that you'll let me be!
I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb makes me worry some
I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've become is making me numb
I'm just a girl, my apologies
What I've become is so burdensome
I'm just a girl, lucky me
Twiddle-dum, there's no comparison
Ohhh.... I've had it up to
Whoah.... I've had it up to
Oh oh oh, I've had it up to here.
No Doubt

Thanks for the comment, I'll figure out a way to read anywhere, reading on a helicopter is kinda like reading during a large earthquake or while four wheeling, it's hard but possible, not always possible without getting sick unless you're me:) I would link you but you've hardly posted anything yet but I'll stop by time to time
