Proof!


Ah hah...

So you see...

I CAN beat Kelly in a word game...

This is just a test...

This is just a test of a blogger widget

Had this been an actual post


It would have been followed by bold text


REPEAT:  THIS IS JUST A TEST

I blame Kerry for this

What was I doing ten years ago
Finishing my sophomore year of high school. Starting work at the Turtle Shell. Saying good bye to Robert "Bob" Young for good.

5 things to do on my "to do" list
  1. Finish straightening up my room and get it in reasonably presentable condition
  2. Get a detailing job on my car
  3. Vacuum
  4. Explore some places in Oxford that have been packed for the past 9+ months (class is out now here in Oxford, so students aren't hogging all the good places)
  5. Travel to Virginia and Florida (I'm contemplating a trip to one on a yet to be determined long weekend)

5 snacks I enjoy
  • These are actually amazingly healthy for snacks:
  • Kashi dark chocolate chip and cherry granola bar
  • Apples
  • Sun Chips
  • popcorn
  • triscuits with cheese and olives
If I had a billion dollars, I'd...
  1. Tithe
  2. Fund the construction of a building exclusively for the Geography Dept. at UA, and provide funds for the upgrade of equipment
  3. Buy a mountain villa
  4. Put some away for interest and live off it (and allow it to transfer to children)
5 Bad Habits
  1. Playing video games
  2. Watching too much TV (though I wouldn't say what I watch is "mindless", except Scrubs and The Simpsons--everything else is quasi-educational at the very least)
  3. Not reading as much as I should
  4. Biting finger nails
  5. Not putting clothes up after I wash them (even though it takes like, maybe two minutes total)

5 Places I've Lived
  1. Charleston, SC
  2. Prattville, AL
  3. Tuscaloosa, AL
  4. Oxford, MS
  5. Nagoya, Japan (yeah, so I didn't "live" there, per se, but I haven't lived five places, and this is the longest I've stayed anywhere else).
5 Jobs I've had

  1. Miscellaneous help at The Turtle Shell
  2. Filer at Uni-Care in Prattville
  3. "Coach" at a day-camp
  4. GIS Technician at ALDOT
  5. GIS Specialist Grad Student at the U of A Cart Lab and Office of Land Management
  6. (yeah, six jobs...I didn't want to leave this one out), Planner/GIS Specialist at Slaughter & Associates in Oxford.
What did you have for dinner tonight?
I don't know yet, I'm eating at a fellowship group, so there's no telling.

Who is in the room with you right now?
No one.

What do you hear right now?
The cars on Highway 6, my windchime, the wind, and Robert Johnson's "Whiskey Blues" from iTunes.
