   *Doing The Happy Dance* Oh, That's Right, You've Never Seen My Happy Dance...^_^
Helllloooo! I’m in a really good mood right now. I got an email from one of my best friends from high school who moved to Chicago. She’s the one who gave me the nickname “Android.” She’s going to UIC-Chicago for photography and anthropology. She wants to be one of those people who travels with magazines like National Geographic. She’d be really good at it too. She’s one of those people who’s not afraid to just up and go somewhere. Right after high school, she moved to Seattle for a year and lived there with her boyfriend. Then she decided that she hated it and moved back when her lease was up. Apparently she missed the crazy commonalities she had with Elise, Keeb’s quirky insanity, and my ability to understand her jokes that usually went over everyone else’s heads. Hahaha, geniuses are interesting people. Of course, I think all people are interesting. Everyone’s got their quirks and oddities, and I love observing them.

So yeah, now that I’ve gone on a complete tangent, lets get back in line. My new wallpaper is finally up so anyone who wants to can go and see it. Oh, and I wanted to post this list of collected quotes and sayings that I found online. I know where a few of them came from originally, like #10 is a quote from Dave Barry, #9 is from Earl Wilson, and #14 is Samuel Clemens (more commonly known as Mark Twain). Anyway, enjoy!

The final and crowning achievement of my garden photos. Once again, we have the “moon bridge” showing us just why it’s called that. (Hint: look at the lake)
