Fun Fact


Ultraviolet Bath, Russia


Make-believe summer lasts for a minute or two as kindergarten children in sunless Lovozero bathe in ultraviolet light. Brief exposure to UV radiation provides the children with vitamin D, normally supplied by sunlight. The "sunshine vitamin" strengthens young bones.

Quotes.

I am a quote freak. I love quotes. The following was on a menu at this restaurant in Newport called Mama D's...really good, I highly recommend it.

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes, the ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify and vilify them, about the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things. They push the human race forward and while some may see them as crazy ones, I see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who'll do it.

Men...well, Boys rather.

In a recent outing to In N Out...I became a victim of a harmless prank. You see, when the cashier handed me the receipt, I grasped his hand with mine while taking the receipt from him. He was laughing so much that he had to disappear into the back room so he could get it together before returning to greet other customers. I was laughing as well. In the meantime, my dear friend Vince had written down my phone number on the back of this very receipt and set it in the window. We drove to the next window and were waiting for his food, when much to our suprise, this very same boy appeared at the window and handed me a piece of paper with his name and phone number on it. His name was "radames"...naturally. He looked 16 years old...but Vince and Sarah reassured me that working at In N Out was a legit job that offered health AND dental insurance. Wow talk about security. Anyhoo...we get home and I type in his name into Facebook, because I mean how many people name their kid "radames"...and clearly not many when he was the first person to pop up. The boy, and yes he's a boy because he isnt even 18 yet...is not only underage, but HAS A GIRLFRIEND. Seriously?!?!? Why the heck would he give me his number, which is in fact his legit phone number because it is also on his facebook page, when he has a girlfriend. That poor girl has no idea that her boyfriend, innocent RADAMES, has just given his digits to an almost 22 year old WOMAN. bahaha. What is the world coming to these days?!?!?!

Denial

It is October 3rd, 2009 and I am still in denial. Of what, you might ask, and I will tell you. Denial of being a college graduate. It still does not feel like I am living my own real life, I still believe that I am in a dream and I'm just waiting to wake up and still be in college, a student of Chapman University. It is kind of like a trick and I am wishing to just laugh it off and go back to the life I knew for the past 4 years. Its one of those things you never think will actually come, and then you grow up and realize you aren't a kid anymore. I also know, however, that those 4 years were well spent and I wouldn't change a single thing. If I had the opportunity to go back, I don't think I would, as nostalgic as I am, just because it would never be the same. All good things must come to an end, and when the end comes, hopefully you will look back and smile. (but I still wish I could rewind time and be back in sophomore year....mainly because I still had a meal plan and could eat at the caf whenever I wanted...AND get to hang out in the library)
