                <description><![CDATA[ Nabbed this from a couple of different friends:<br /><br />Answer these "30 Things You Wouldn't Think To Ask".<br /><br />1. Have you ever been searched by the cops? <br />~No.<br /><br />2. Do you close your eyes on roller coasters?<br />~Where's the fun in that?<br /><br />3. When's the last time you've been sledding? <br />~A long time ago <br /><br />4. Would you rather sleep with someone else, or alone?<br />~With someone because I like to cuddle, but it has to be someone I trust really really really well or I wouldn't be able to sleep at all.<br /><br />5. Do you believe in ghosts?<br />~I think so.<br /><br />6. Do you consider yourself creative?<br />~In some ways yes, in others not at all.<br /><br />7. Do you think OJ killed his wife?<br />~...He frickin wrote a confession and put it in the form of a book the heartless asshole.<br /><br />8. Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie?<br />~Aniston<br /><br />9. Can you honestly say you know ANYTHING about politics?<br />~I'm not an expert but I know a little.<br /><br />10. Do you know how to play poker?<br />~Yes.<br /><br />11. Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight?<br />~Psh, 48, no sweat it's the 72 that gets me.<br /><br />12. What's your favorite commercial?<br />~I don't really have one.<br /><br />13. Who was your first love?<br />~Nick<br /><br />14. If you're driving in the middle of the night, and no one is around you, do you run a red light?<br />~Hell no, cops are sneaky.<br /><br />15. Do you have a secret that no one knows but you?<br />~Wouldn't doubt it.<br /><br />16. Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees?<br />~Don't really care.<br /><br />17. Have you ever been Ice Skating?<br />~Yes, and I look like that seen from Bambi with bowed legs and everything...graceful I am not.<br /><br />18. How often do you remember your dreams?<br />~Sometimes, not as much as I used to though.<br /><br />19. What's the one thing on your mind?<br />~What to wear for my first day of work tomorrow.<br /><br />20. Do you always wear your seat belt?<br />~No, but I try to remember.<br /><br />21. What talent do you wish you had?<br />~I wish I could sing, there's always a song in my head and I wish I could sing them without annoying everyone with my horrible voice.<br /><br />22. Do you like Sushi?<br />~What I have tried, no.<br /><br />23. What do you wear to bed?<br />~T-shirt or a tank top.<br /><br />24. Do you truly hate anyone?<br />~I don't know. I don't think so. I have an extreme dislike for some people but I wouldn't like murder them or anything.<br /><br />25. If you could sleep with one famous person, who would it be?<br />~I think sleeping with someone just because they may be famous or "hot" is just lame. I think personality and character are way sexier than money, looks, or publicity.<br /><br />26. Do you know anyone in jail?<br />~Yes.<br /><br />27. What foods do you find disgusting?<br />~Chitlins. *gag* <br /><br />28. Have you ever made fun of your friends behind their back?<br />~Yeah, not proud of it though, and I try to make things right.<br /><br />29. Have you ever been punched in the face?<br />~Punched, no. Smacked, slapped, face grabbed, yes.<br /><br />30. Do you believe in angels and demons?<br />~I believe I'll figure that out when I'm dead, so I'm not going to worry about it too much while I'm still alive. ....You know...unless I get possessed...then I'll worry.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

WOO!<br /><br />Anyway, now I'm going to go attempt to study German in the hopes that I actually pass this time! *fingers/toes/hair/anything-that-can-be-crossed crossed* <br /><br />Good Night DA! <br />Tomorrow I shall be free!!!<br />~HPD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sorry I've been gone for so long. First let me say to everyone HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! May this year be better and brighter than the one before! Also, I'm officially 20! That's right officially NOT a teenager anymore! ...though that doesn't mean my level of maturity has magically improved! lol I had a great Christmas. Mostly clothes, couple games, got an AWESOME squishable penguin from <a href="http://strapp.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/t/strapp.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconstrapp:" title="strapp"/></a> as seen here <a href="http://www.squishable.com/pc/squish_penguin_15/Big_Animals/Big+Squishable+Penguin">[link]</a> !!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> I also got a new camera! yay! it's a Nikon COOLPIX S210 so far i love it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />. I had a great New Years much fun was had and much good food! Unfortunately break is almost over <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> which means back to the drafty dorm room. Anyway, have a great year I hope I'll be on more lol. Unfortunately my laptop died ...again ...this time they think it was the ...*drumroll* motherboard...yeah great it's dead so i ship it off and sit here and wait for my mom to finish using her comp so I can check my mail. *sigh* hopefully this will be the end of the computer drama...hopefully......anyway have a great day, an awesome new year, and may your muse sit happily upon your shoulder!!<br /><br /><br /><br />P.S. I'm working through the 1000+ Devs and stuff can't wait to see what I've miss <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /><br /><br />EDIT: i just saw this and had to do it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> go to urbandictionary.com and type in the following and stuff it's not hard to figure out lol<br /><br />1.Your Name: <br />Sandra: A strong name for a strong woman <br />A Sandra, especially one born under the star (sun) sign of Aries tends to be intelligent, witty, extremely open, honest & passionate and will do whatever it takes to uphold her morals. While these are extremely admirable traits, they also mean that they should never be crossed. Hope you are paying attention, you have been warned!! <br />On the flipside, if you do the right thing (and why wouldnÂt you?) a Sandra will go out of her way to make your life beautiful. <br />While fiercely independent, a Sandra has both a strong sense of community and family and will do whatever it takes (regardless of personal cost) to defend and protect those that she cares about. <br />Do yourself a favour Â find a Sandra; stocks are limited and they are (rightly so) in high demand. <br />Need a friend? <br />Look no further than Sandra <br /><br />2. your age: 20: the number before 21 and after 19. generally used when counting.<br /><br />3. one of your friends: Melanie: A name for a girl. french, means "dark". like dark hair, olive skin. people named melanie are always really pretty and super nice. just sexy, if you will. used to say it when seeing a pretty girl, but they obviously will never match up to her standards. <br /><br />4. what you should be doing now: cleaning: The act of shoving everything in a closet and calling it decent.<br /><br />(hahahaha so true!)<br /><br />5. favorite color: blue: The hue of the portion of the visible spectrum lying between green and indigo, evoked in a human observer by radiant energy with wavelengths of approximately 420 to 490 nanometers.<br /><br />6. birthplace: Virginia: is for lovers <br /><br />(because the other definitions kinda sucked and were too long winded)<br /><br />7. month of your birth: December: The month in which the hottest women are born. (and) The best month out of the entire year. That's why they left it last.<br /><br />8. the last person you talked to: Nick: to steal something. <br /><br />(that one doesn't really fit)<br /><br />9. one of your nicknames: Sandy: The most amazing kind of girl in the universe. Sandys are the smartest, prettiest, bravest, no-nonsense women you can find on planet Earth. A Sandy is the girl you'll want to marry. Sandy's are amazing kissers and make amazing food. They are the most artistic beings and are well knowing in all things sexual.<br /><br />(PSH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ROFL's)<br /><br />anywaaaaay that was fun! have a happy day<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hi everyone! I realize I've been away for awhile but I've been getting into the swing of things here on campus and I have to say I'm loving it. I've also been getting involved in on-campus activities and joined the Secular Student Alliance (SSA) which I'm really enjoying. I've also become more aware of a lot of important issues as well. Most recently I was heartbroken to learn that the local shelter for abused women and children in the area (and when I say only I mean it serves as the only shelter for 12 counties) may be forced to close it's doors I was really upset. The entire campus got in gear and we are raising money to save Madeline's House. To learn more visit <a href="http://www.madelineshouse.net">[link]</a> and while I realize the site may be a bit dated, the information and story is still of value. If interested there is a Facebook page to Save Madeline's House, it says that donations can be sent here:<br />Southside Center for Violence Prevention, Inc.<br />PO Box 563<br />Farmville, VA, 23901<br /><br />Don't get me wrong I'm not asking for a hand out. I just want to make people aware. <br /><br />"Statistics show that one in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime, and it is estimated that 1.3 million women are victims of domestic violence each year. In 2005, approximately 6,000 people stayed in shelters in Virginia; however, more than 2,000 women were turned away because of a lack of room. In that same year thirty percent of all homicides in Virginia were related to domestic violence."<br /><br />Those numbers truly disturb me....<br /><br />So this is me doing my small part to get more involved and make the world more aware. <br /><br />My little rant is over now, thank you for reading it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so many ideas float around my twisted mind all day it's hard to make a single one stay still long enough to put it to paper. Inside my head are so many stories so many things I know I may never be able to make flow down my arm to the point of my pen where they'll be freed. They are mine and mine alone. Maybe I don't say things because I know if I keep them in my head then they can't be ridiculed, or maybe I just don't want to look like even more of a total and complete dork lol. But I've been thinking lately that I ought to put myself out there more. So here it goes...a list of random things that come to mind that I think might one day have potential. Please tell me what you think .l..even if you think it's crap and shuold be burned and the ashes buried on some far off deserted island in a steel box...then sealed off with concrete and a guard ship circling the island...did i mention the island was surrounded by those nasty little floating mines ...and shark ...genetically altered sharks that eat you if you try to get on the island of top secret crap......<br />see what i mean it's like mental barf<br />ANYWAY ideas:<br /><br /><br />this came to me out of NO WHERE thought it might fit into some story somewhere:<br />"your tore down my walls, you blew open my mind, you ripped out my heart, you scorched my soul! ...on the other hand destruction can be so much fun."<br /><br />something with Norse mythology involving magic and Valkyries, the warrior women sent to escort the souls of the brave to Valhalla. I've always been kinda fascinated by Norse mythology.<br /><br />idk stuff like that i'll give ya'll ,more ideas later, but for now that's what i've been thinking about.<br /><br />let me know what you think <br /><br />much loves to all of you!!!!!!<br />~The Happy Penguin and Freddy<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I don't really know what to say but i really needed to change my journal. So I figured I'd just start writing and see where that went. So here goes:<br /><br />Recently there has been a lot of drama in my life, not all the bad kind, but some of it not so good.  My parents split up for a while but they are working through their problems and my dad has since moved back in. My old friends from high school seem to slip farther and farther away but my new friends are closer and more dear to me then ever before. I've learned a lot about myself since going to college. I learned I have no idea what i want to do in life. I learned that I can be tough when I have too. I learned that real true friends you can tell your deepest darkest secrets to do exist thanks to <a href="http://mel-sama.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/e/mel-sama.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmel-sama:" title="mel-sama"/></a> (luvs chu!!). I learned that my childhood was horrible. I admitted things to myself that I had been denying the reality of. I learned I want love more than anything and if that makes me weak that's okay, because you can break my heart a million times but NO ONE can take away my hopes and dreams. I learned that D&D kicks ass!!!!! I learned that being myself and true to me is more important than staying in the shadows and not being seen because i'm not like everybody else. I learned that I can be an annoying obnoxious, sometimes bitchy person. I learned that happiness can be achieved even for a freak like me!!! lol. <br /><br />I am who I am and if you don't like me it's okay, you don't have to. <br /><br />I learned that even though I feel lonely sometimes, like the world has sped on without me and forgotten my existance, I'll always have a way out, a helping hand, and the love and support of my friends and family. <br /><br />I want to love and be loved by that one special someone, of course, but maybe this is how things are supposed to happen, maybe i'm supposed to fly solo for now, maybe it's the way things are supposed to be. <br /><br />either way i'm happy and content, I have my friends by my side and i'm learning to be more confident. I'm going to try to start writing again even if i never post it lol and going to try to start taking pictures again. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!! <br />~happy penguin & freddy<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My Uncle Dave was recently diagnosed with cancer in his throat. He isn't really my Uncle but a family friend i've known him all my life and he has been there for me more than most blood relatives are. He has always encouraged me and always has an eager ear there to listen to my endless rants, and he has always been there to lend a helping hand. Now he struggles with the aftermath of debilitating illness, and the ravages of radiation treatment. Please keep him in your thoughts and prays to whomever or whatever you believe in. He is a wonderful person who deserves the best. Below I've provided the address of a website created for him and a little more about his story, ways you can help, if you feel so inclined and a benefit event we are holding to raise money to help him pay the bills. If you have the time, and if you are willing, please check it out. With love and support I know he'll make it through, so please help me spread the love! and thank you for the time it took you to read this journal, you will never know just how much it means to me, and I can never thank you enough.  <br /><br /><a href="http://mysite.verizon.net/vzewmyfx/benefitpokerrunfordavidweaver/">[link]</a> <br /><br />Thanks again for your time,<br />                           Yours Truly,<br />                                   The Happy Penguin<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hi so i got tagged by <a href="http://mel-sama.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/e/mel-sama.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmel-sama:" title="mel-sama"/></a> sigh i had avoided them for almost a year oh well lol no worries here goes <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br />hope i don't bore you to tears lol <br /><br /><br /><br />1. My main medium is my digital camera <br /><br />2. I love to catch things that are natural and undisturbed by the workings of man <br /><br />3. I also like to capture images that are peaceful and serene however i also like city scapes or market place shots <br /><br />4. I also like to dabble in the occaisional jewelry or costume making area<br /><br />5. I like to sew and create things with my hands<br /><br />6. I've tried a bit of wire weaving but nothing worth posting<br /><br />7. I also love to color things (i can't draw worth a crap but i like the blending of colors and making them pop it's soothing)<br /><br />8. There is the possiblity of a collab with <a href="http://mel-sama.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/e/mel-sama.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmel-sama:" title="mel-sama"/></a> but nothing has been finalized<br /><br />9. I like to use colors that are both bright and invigorating yet calming such as bright popping blues and greens and purples<br /><br />10. I'm not sure if my art is good enough to ever take me anywhere specail or anything but it's really calming for me and a great hobby, I hope others think so too.<br /><br />and now! I tag: <a href="http://greenfox59.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/r/greenfox59.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongreenfox59:" title="greenfox59"/></a>   BWAHAHAHAHA!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

ANYWAY it's summer and it's hot and i have allergies and my parents are constantly angry with me and i have to go to summer school and i'm stressed and my life sucks right now cause it just does but even though all that's happening i'm still in a eally good mood.....which leads to the question i'm asking myself......WHEN AM I GONNA CRACK...or maybe i have already. WHO KNOWS? HELP! okay so anyway have a great summer everybody and i'll try to take more pics but i SERIOUSLY don't know when i'll have the time to do it all...i don't even know if i can do half of what i've been trying to make myself do .......my bet is no but hey i'll figure something out...i hope...anyway<br />
<br />
 HAVE A GREAT SUMMER<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ okay children gather round and listen closely.....<br />
<br />
Not so very long ago, in a place not so far away, there was a girl on a college campus in the dead of winter in a T-shirt...<br />
<br />
                            Yes Freddy a T-shirt.<br />
<br />
Now this girl was walking in the dead of night with two friends across campus...<br />
<br />
                                                         Yes Freddy in a T-shirt.<br />
<br />
It was very very cold and as the friends walked toward the dorm that was their destination one girl, <br />
<br />
                                                                                          Yes Freddy the one in the T-shirt<br />
<br />
became very very cold and started to shiver. Trying to create warmth, the girl.....<br />
<br />
                           FREDDY LET ME FINISH THE STORY!<br />
<br />
the girl started to shift from foot to foot very quickly, and as the friends began to get closer to the dorm, the girl...<br />
<br />
                                                                           FREDDDDDDDDY!!<br />
<br />
began to run, however her legs were somewhat locked as she ran for no other reason than she was cold and her brain was obviously affected...so she ran with legs locked and shivering to the door of the dorm...however she had forgotten one thing.....she did not have the key. So standing outside of the door to the dorm the girl<br />
<br />
                                       *sigh* Yes the one in the T-shirt<br />
<br />
began to hop around in a circle with legs still locked. Upon seeing this her friends come up to her not cold at all for they are creating their own warmth through laughter at the other girls antics. As a result of this laughter and the subsequent explanation of what was so terribly funny afterwards the girl<br />
<br />
                                                                                        The one in the T-shirt<br />
<br />
was ever more known as:<br />
<br />
                                   THE HAPPY PENGUIN<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
(the dance was developed later and is another story entirely which i will tell at a later date.....maybe)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ok so life is tough...i get that. BUT WHY THE HELL DOES MY LITTLE CORNER OF IT HAVE TO GO ALL TO HELL AT ONCE!!!!!!!<br />
i mean, i don't need much. a little sun, my laptop, a few thousand books, manga, anime, a camera, batteries, electricity, my cats<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />, my bed, pillows, paper, pens, pencils, a toilet, toilet paper, etc.<br />
i mean is that really so much to ask!<br />
<br />
stop it! stop giving me the stupid stare!<br />
you know i'm right!<br />
<br />
anyway<br />
so i'm okay really i have all that and to top it all of I HAVE FRIENDS! i mean REAL FRIENDS! not the bitchy kind. REAL ONES! the kind that aren't afraid to tell you you just did something stupid.<br />
<br />
So why am i not overflowing with the joy of it all!<br />
why is it that i can read ppl so well, almost freakishly well, but no one can read me. i mean i know my friends thank they know me but, do they really? does anyone REALLY KNOW ME?!<br />
do i even know myself? (and yes i know that sounds corny but it's what i feel so NYAH <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />)<br />
okay so all of you out there that know me......answer me this: <br />
<br />
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME?!!!!<br />
<br />
why can i give advice to other ppl about things that i don't know much about but still give advice that works? <br />
why do my friends feel free to lean on me, but i'm scared to lean on them? (not that i mind the leaning but the fact that i'm scared to lean back is what confuses me)<br />
Why do ppl think i'm some big tough person? i'm not...i don't think i am...am i?<br />
<br />
but see that's the thing....i don't know what i am,<br />
<br />
 WHAT AM I HERE FOR<br />
<br />
am i here to be the pillar of those who are hurt (yes i know that sounds conceded and i really don't mean it to sound like that but that's how it came out), am i here to be an anchor? <br />
<br />
but if that's what i'm here for....then what keeps me anchored? <br />
what keeps me from floating away on the wind?<br />
who keeps me safe? <br />
<br />
WHY DO I HAVE THIS NEED TO PROTECT EVERYONE AROUND ME! to keep them safe, to shield them from everything.<br />
 <br />
is it because i would rather immerse myself in their lives, in their troubles, in their happiness, than face the troubles in mine?<br />
<br />
i think that might be it, that might be the reason i dream so much, i just want to get away. i just want to runaway. hide. stay behind the shield of my dreams, my books, my friends. stay in a place where i can believe that there's always a happy ending...but there's not<br />
<br />
that's what scares me<br />
<br />
in all my books there's always a happy ending but what if my story is a different kind, what if i'm not meant to live happily ever after, but be the sad end to a story worthy of the brothers Grimm.<br />
<br />
destined to live my life through others<br />
<br />
to watch as they fall in love<br />
<br />
wish it was me <br />
<br />
and now i know why i hide<br />
because my greatest fear in life is to be alone, truly alone, that's why my heart slowly breaks at the end of every book i read, <br />
<br />
because every time i turn the last page of a book i have to come back to my lonely existance, come back to my reality. <br />
<br />
i don't want to live this way, existing but not living, or rather living but living in a dream, a dream that has no hope,<br />
<br />
 a dream that the longer i'm in it, the more it breaks my heart.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
