Twice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am still alive.  Let's see what's up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;School.  I'm still in it, but I should be graduating after the Fall 2009 semester.  This semester is going to be pretty project heavy, but it could be fun.  Ballroom started tonight, but I didn't go because of the weather.  I didn't want to deal with the ice on the roads.  But I didn't want to do rumba anyway, so it's cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work.  I love my kids.  They're sweet and make me really happy.  I test for my black belt on Saturday, so YAY ME!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm going to England this summer for 2 weeks to visit Janet.  We'll spend a few days in London, a bunch in Exeter and 2-3 days in Paris (super psyched!).  But that'll be great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also need to plan a trip to Boston and one to Brooklyn.  I'll shoot to do one over spring break in March.  Maybe Boston.  And then do a weekend trip to Brooklyn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I baked a key lime pie today.  I have no idea if it's any good.  I'll report back.</content>

    <content type="html">Busy.  But still alive.  My stomach hurts right now, but I'm working on fixing that with come hot cocoa and toast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work is okay.  There's a lot to do and we aren't getting new students which is bad, but we're kind of having a shit economy right now which isn't helping.  I love my kids and they like me too.  So that's definitely something to make me enjoy my job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;School is busy.  So many stupid projects going on.  Test tomorrow and Friday.  Dance is the saving grace for my sanity.  It socializes me and makes me happy.  I do it a lot.  I actually have it this morning for a few hours.  I compete first weekend of November, so we'll see if I'm any good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This cocoa is doing wonders for my poor tummy. :)</content>

    <content type="html">So...what have I been up to for the past 2 months?  I had a 6 week summer course that I got a B+ in.  Good enough for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just finished up my 3rd 13hour work day.  They have been long, stressful days which ended with a 4 hour event with 9 kids.  the 4 and 6 year olds were total angels.  The rest of them got out of hand.  It was at this time that I found out I will be a horrifying mother.  Since I rarely get upset with my kids, they know that if I'm yelling then they need to shape the heck up.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm currently living in someones house watching their dogs.  One of the dogs is on the bed next to be rolling around like a big silly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so beat.  I am needing for sleep now.  Things are okay.  Just hectic.</content>

    <content type="html">Just so you know, I haven't been out of control depressed for the past almost month.  I just haven't had much to update on.  It's mostly been work and the gym.  That's most of it.  Rory and I made some ice cream cone cupcakes last night, so that was fun.  Relay for Life is this weekend.  If you still want to donate to help me fight cancer &lt;a href="http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RelayForLifeEasternDivision?pg=personal&amp;amp;fr_id=9558&amp;amp;JServSessionIdr009=yhhrywxq13.app313b&amp;amp;fr_id=9558&amp;amp;px=4394797"&gt;here's&lt;/a&gt; my personal site.  Just click the donate button.  Every dollar helps in the fight against cancer.  It'll be a fun event though except when we talk about cancer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than that, nothing is really going on.  I start a summer class in July and go to FL for a few days for work stuff.  It will help me suck less at my job, so hopefully I'll make some more money.  I'm thinking of getting a second job for some extra cash.  Like waitressing a few nights a week or something.  Couldn't hurt to have some extra money.  We'll see how the fall semester starts and if I have time for it.  There are about 10,000 bars that need tending in New Brunswick.  Later for that though.</content>

What are you doing tomorrow?&lt;br /&gt;Lab, Tiger Club, Work, Class, Ballroom, Salsa Social?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went to Boston this weekend.  I've learned a few things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Do not have a liquid dinner if you are emotionally unbalanced.  The bad will probably come out before any good.&lt;br /&gt;2. Dance before you get drunk.  Not the other way around.&lt;br /&gt;3. Liquid dinner made me lose almost 3lbs.  Woot!&lt;br /&gt;4. The drunken comparing of yourself to other girls can only end in tears.  And vodka.  And more tears&lt;br /&gt;5. 3 LBS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So number 5 wasn't a lesson.  Just a happy fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;School is still pretty bad.  I meet my other professor today to discuss my sucking at his class.  I don't love it here, but I don't think I'll find a college that I really like, so this is as good as any other one.  Better than TCNJ as I have not been recommended for therapy or put in a hospital or banned from campus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I test for my red belt on Saturday.  I feel like I should be more excited than I am, but I'm sort of tired.  Talk to me Saturday and I'll be off the wall.  Mostly because my kids are graduating to their next belts, but I like them.  I missed the new Gossip Girl last night.  I need to hunt it down on the interwebs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all I have right now&lt;a name="cutid2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Survey'd!"&gt;Type your cut contents here.&lt;/div&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Very quick update.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. I joined my first school club since 2003.  Hopefully this one will be better than those.  It's Ballroom Dancing.  If I'm good, I'll look into the team, but probably not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. I test for my black belt in January 2009.  I need to work on intensity/anger and cardiovascular health.  I need to find an exercise that I don't hate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Not all hope is lost with school.  I just need to bust my ass is all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Job is good.  $500 bonus this month.  As a program director, things are going great.  My enrollment direction could use some work.  We also got a bamboo plant because I wanted it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. I got a blackberry bush.  Right now it looks like 2 sticks in the dirt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. I've been eating like crap.  I should really work on that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Every time I think my arm is better, it relapses.  Any movement of the shoulder angers the muscle.  As a result, I can't spar or ground fight right now.  I'll drug up for class today and go light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. One of my kids at karate coloured a picture and gave it to me.  It gets hung up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Janet came over last night and we had Sicilian pizza with pineapples and black olives.  It was amazing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. I need to get dressed and go to work.  We have a party this afternoon.  Hurrah.</content>

    <title>A proper update</title>
    <published>2008-02-26T16:47:10Z</published>
    <updated>2008-02-26T16:47:10Z</updated>
    <content type="html">I guess I should do a proper update since I have a few minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rkafamilykarate.com"&gt;Work&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good.  I like my job.  I enjoy taking and teaching karate.  My coworkers are great, the kids are sweet and the people I train with are awesome.  It's been a slow month as far as enrollments go, but things will get better.  I'm skipping a belt and should be getting a black in July 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;School&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bad.  I hate school.  I've hated it since the first college I went to and it's only gone downhill. My classes are bad and I'm bad at them.  I don't enjoy going and don't feel like I'm getting much out of it except some slight emotional distress.  I continue to be baffled by people who don't hate college and actually continue to go after getting a usable degree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Social Life&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otherwise known as Janet and Mike (and maybe Bob).  I get to see Janet 1-2 days/week.  It's good times because we get to vent to each other about everything evar and nobody acts like (or recommends) a therapist.  I see Mike on the weekends.  I complain to him as well and he puts up with it wonderfully.  Bob works at the Borders Cafe.  He's now a buddy of Janet's and mine.  He tells us when there is new stuff and makes our drinks better than anybody else there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the general trend is up and down.  Work yay, school boo, social life nice.  Do I want to guzzle gin every time I have a class?  Absolutely.  But I don't, and that's what really matters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OH!  I went to party last weekend and it was 90's themed.  I pwnd at Twister and had Everclear+Hawaiian punch.  There were also PB&amp;J sandwiches shaped like flowers.  It made me really happy.  Everclear often does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next Thursday I leave for Orlando.  I'm getting back late Saturday.  My boss is sending me for some teaching seminar.  As of yesterday he didn't know what hotel I was going to and I don't have an itinerary yet.  I should probably get on him about that.  My parents gave me a very awkward version of the "don't get sexually assaulted" speech.  They seem to forget that when I'm not surrounded by professional ass-kickers, I will be locked in my hotel room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all I think.</content>

    <updated>2008-01-24T03:33:30Z</updated>
    <content type="html">Quick update because I have some reading to do.  A first impression of my classes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nutrition and Health:  This is a big part of my major and I got my own dietary analysis software.  I am pleased.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Systems Physiology:  He said that 25% of us would fail the course.  and the first lecture almost blew up my head.  Things are not looking good for our heroine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Biochemistry:  Teacher seems nice.  Material seems doable.  Not something I would really enjoy because I fail to see beauty on a cellular level.  Apparently I'm supposed to.  But it's not so bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I haven't done an actual lab yet, so I'll talk about that when it happens.  I'm sad about the Heath Ledger thing.  I didn't particularly like him, but I was part of the 10TIHAY generation, so I feel the loss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than that not much is happening.  School and work mostly.</content>

    <content type="html">So I figured I should do a proper update.  But I haven't got much to say.  I'm painting my nails right now.  Work is going well.  I can now confidently say that I'm glad I left Wegmans.  Not that I didn't like it there, but this is a good change.  I test for my purple belt on January 26&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;School starts on Tuesday.  I was supposed to go shopping for a bridesmaid dress that day, so I need to reschedule.  I'm less than excited about school, but I always have been.  The classes should be interesting, but I'd rather be at work and doing things that I actually like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sick of the writer's strike.  I want Scrubs, Gossip Girl, Bones, and House back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;lj-embed id="10" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This made me a little more pro-Huckabee.

    <content type="html">Yeah.  I said Christmas.  not HOLIDAY.  I'm a rebel!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? usually wrapping paper.  Gift bags mean I had no time to wrap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Real tree or Artificial? real.

    <content type="html">&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;801. How often do you change your mood in a day?&lt;br /&gt;I'm bipolar.  I'm also a 22 year old female student.  so about 1000000&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;802. When you ask people how they are doing you actually care about their answer or is it just polite?&lt;br /&gt;It's polite to ask.  But if something is bothering them, I won't ignore it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;803. Would you consider yourself to be very polite?&lt;br /&gt;I'm pretty average&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;804. Do you like movies and books that involve nuclear holocaust?&lt;br /&gt;Not especially?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;805. Have you ever had a lucid dream (a dream in which you knew you were dreaming and had complete control over what happened in the dream)?&lt;br /&gt;No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;806. Have you ever had a flying dream?&lt;br /&gt;I think so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;807. Have you ever had a lucid flying dream?&lt;br /&gt;No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;808. What's the oddest law you ever heard of?&lt;br /&gt;It is illegal to do window puppet shows in NYC.  (You're in violation of your FACE!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;809. What is the ultimate way to connect with another person?&lt;br /&gt;I could say sex.  But mutual distress is great for bonding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;810. Can you be intimate with someone without touching him or her?&lt;br /&gt;No.  That's stupid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;811. Can men and women ever really be 'just friends' with no interest in anything more?&lt;br /&gt;Sure.  My answer would be more valid if I talked to guys other than my boyfriend or strangers who hit on me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;813. Are you addicted to this survey like drugs?&lt;br /&gt;Not really.  It passes the time though&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;814. If your significant other wanted to wait for marriage could you hold out or would you leave them (or would you cheat)?&lt;br /&gt;How long would I have to wait?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;815. What's the longest sentence you can make using only words that start with the same letter as your first name?&lt;br /&gt;Huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;816. If you had a theme song what would it be?&lt;br /&gt;"Perfect Day" -Hoku  If that was my theme song I'd never be sad!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;817. Are you cranky?&lt;br /&gt;Not especially.  If I am, I'm usually sick.  I have a whole other spectrum of emotions for everyday use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;818. Which group generally annoys you more, people older than you, or people younger than you?&lt;br /&gt;I guess older.  I work with the younger group more.  And I can totally power trip on them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;819. Do you refer to older people as old farts?&lt;br /&gt;No.  I try not to say 'fart'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;820. Do you refer to younger people as the kids?&lt;br /&gt;Depends on who they are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;821. Which is better: Poems that everyone can relate to or poems that are intensely personal to the author?&lt;br /&gt;no poetry.  but I guess everyone can relate to is good&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;822. Is it worse to be too hot or too cold?&lt;br /&gt;Too hot.  Then my lips feel funny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;823. Are you so flexible that you can put your feet behind your head?&lt;br /&gt;Yes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;824. Would you enjoy reading fairy tales written about robots?&lt;br /&gt;that doesn't seem very fairy tale-ish to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;825. Is smoking a turn on or gross?&lt;br /&gt;Some people look good with a cigarette, but I wouldn't spend much time with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;826. What is the one way you wouldn't want to die?&lt;br /&gt;Drowning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;827. Which would look sillier on you: A cowboy hat or a Rasta hat?&lt;br /&gt;Rasta.  I look hot in cowboy hats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;828. Would you rather have a job doing something indoors or outdoors?&lt;br /&gt;indoors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;829. Would you rather learn more about human nutrition or meteorology?&lt;br /&gt;Have we met?  I'm a nutrition major.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;830. Have you ever taken honors courses?&lt;br /&gt;yes.  I later got booted from 2/3 of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;831. What do you think of crop circles?&lt;br /&gt;they look pretty cool&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;832. Where do they come from?&lt;br /&gt;your mom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;833. When was the last time you screwed up big time?&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure.  let's see how finals go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;834. You have a choice. What do you eat:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A veggie burger&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A turkey dog&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A cheese sandwich&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;depends on my mood.  Sadly, I'd probably pick the cheese sandwich.  Thus explaining my iron problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;835. Do you get a lot of random instant messages?&lt;br /&gt;No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;836. Do you have a paper journal also?&lt;br /&gt;Very no.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;837. VHS or DVD?&lt;br /&gt;DVD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;838. Vinyl, cassette tape, or CD?&lt;br /&gt;Vinyl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;839. Have you ever seen the video/heard the song Days Go By, performed by Dirty Vegas?&lt;br /&gt;Maybe?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;840. MTV: should it play morel videos or more shows?&lt;br /&gt;Actually the trashy shows are kind of addicting.  Plus I like all the ANTM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;841. Name a band:&lt;br /&gt;NSYNC&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do fans of that band tend to share any characteristics with each other?&lt;br /&gt;I guess so.  Even though the band is gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;842. What does the expression 'touch and go' mean?&lt;br /&gt;I can't explain.  I know when to use it though&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;843. Caffeine or alcohol?&lt;br /&gt;How bad of a day am I having?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;844. Betty or Veronica?&lt;br /&gt;I don't really read comics.  But Betty=Bettie=Bettie Page&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Archie or Reggie or Jughead?&lt;br /&gt;I can't make anything cool with those names.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;845. What book are you reading right now?&lt;br /&gt;Marie Antoinette: The Journey&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;846. Is the news too depressing?&lt;br /&gt;Usually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;847. Would you rather have a stuffed lion, elephant, pig or duck?&lt;br /&gt;ELEPHANT!  Wait.  You mean toy right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;848. Are you late for a very important date?&lt;br /&gt;No.  I had a date last night.  and one on Monday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;849. Ever use star 69?&lt;br /&gt;I don't think so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;850. Is everyone as smart as you?&lt;br /&gt;and then some.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;851. Have you ever seen the musical Annie?&lt;br /&gt;Si.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;852. Sheets: silk or satin?&lt;br /&gt;I'm not that picky.  Those are both pretty illogical cause they're so slippery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;853. Bath: soap or bubbles?&lt;br /&gt;BUBBLES!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;854. Your best color: blue or red?&lt;br /&gt;Blue.  Royal blue if you really want me to be specific.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;855. What's your favorite candy?&lt;br /&gt;Eh.  It changes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;856. Can you sing?&lt;br /&gt;So they say.  I don't really do it anymore, but I'm able.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;857. It's the end of the world, as we know it. How do you feel?&lt;br /&gt;I feel fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;858. You take your little sister (she's 12) shopping for school clothes. Mom gave you the money to hold. She picks out a skimpy top emblazoned "Hottie" and hip-hugging pants that leave at least two inches of skin north and south of her navel exposed to the wind. She insists: If she doesn't have these clothes, she'll look awful, the other kids will tease her, and she’ll feel like a nerd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you think she should or should not wear these clothes?&lt;br /&gt;Hell no.  Better nerd than preggo slut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you buy them for her?&lt;br /&gt;Hell no.  1. what would our mother say?  2. No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;859. What do you think is the most annoying cliché?&lt;br /&gt;I can't think of any cliches right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;860. What band is underground right now but will one day get really popular?&lt;br /&gt;I have no clue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;861. Of the following which word best describes you:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;versatile (flexible):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;wonderful:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;x-tra special:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;your own best friend:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;zany:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm none of those.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;862. What does BYOB stand for?&lt;br /&gt;Bring your own bottle&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;863. Who is sexiest:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marilyn Monroe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James Dean&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elvis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jim Morrison&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Madonna&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cyndi Lauper&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marilyn Monroe.  Hands down.  Then James Dean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;864. Do you always do what's expected of you?&lt;br /&gt;More or less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;865. Do you believe everything you hear on the news?&lt;br /&gt;I try to avoid the news&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;866. Would you prefer a $100.00 gift certificate to Hot Topic or Abercrombie &amp; Fitch (assuming neither store gives change, so you'll have to spend the whole thing)?&lt;br /&gt;Hot Topic.  Not really an A&amp;F girl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;867. Have you ever won a competition?&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;868. Who looks sloppier when they are over weight, guys or girls?&lt;br /&gt;Girls.  Because they generally don't dress well for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;869. At what age do you become all grown up?&lt;br /&gt;not really a number.  it's more a lifestyle thing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;870. Have you ever written graffiti on anything?&lt;br /&gt;No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;871. Can you remember what you wrote?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;872. Are you a force of nature?&lt;br /&gt;You have to ask people.  I'm inclined to say no.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;873. What do you think of blue eye shadow?&lt;br /&gt;Must be applied tastefully.  Great for adding a bit of POP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about gold eye shadow?&lt;br /&gt;Can be very lovely when well done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;874. Would you ever wear any of the following Halloween costumes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flapper?  Sure&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hippie?  I guess.  Not my first choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disco dancer?  I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;875. Should birth control be taught in high school?&lt;br /&gt;Yes.  They know sex exists.  Now teach them to do it right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about in jr. high or elementary school?&lt;br /&gt;Oh geez no.  Maybe 8th grade at the earliest.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;876. Would you consider yourself a genius?&lt;br /&gt;Heck no.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;877. What did you think of the movie Solaris?&lt;br /&gt;I didn't see it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;878. Which is usually better movies or books?&lt;br /&gt;Books.  The movies are usually good movies, but horrible adaptations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;879. Do you think The Hobbit will be made into a movie?&lt;br /&gt;Yes.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;880. Do you research which brands use sweatshops to make their clothing before you shop?&lt;br /&gt;No.  Shopping is hard enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;881. What gives you a magical feeling?&lt;br /&gt;What does a magical feeling feel like?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;882. Have you ever pulled apart a Christmas cracker?&lt;br /&gt;A what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;883. Would you rather watch basketball or play basketball?&lt;br /&gt;play.  I don't like the sport.  At least if I'm in on it, I get a workout.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;884. Do you think that everyone makes his or her own problems?&lt;br /&gt;No.  The problems are there.  The person just decides what to do with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;885. Do you often consider how your actions will affect other people?&lt;br /&gt;Yes.  Too often.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;886. Are J-Lo and Ben Afleck interesting to you at all?&lt;br /&gt;No.  She married a rat-man and he's not doing much at all&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;887. Do you use bad grammar or hate bad grammar?&lt;br /&gt;Hate it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;888. Make up a tabloid headline:&lt;br /&gt;All of Hollywood pregnant!  Even the men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;889. Do you like to learn new things?&lt;br /&gt;Sure&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;890. What's more important, fame or personal accomplishment?&lt;br /&gt;hmmm..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;891. Sweet dreams are made of this....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are they made of?&lt;br /&gt;puppies&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;892. Two trailer park girls go round the outside...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Round the outside of what?&lt;br /&gt;of the trailer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;893. Are you wearing a piece of jewelry that means a lot to you right now?&lt;br /&gt;nope&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;894. If someone was going to inscribe a message on a ring and give it to you what would you want it to say?&lt;br /&gt;I wouldn't&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;895. Guys who are losing their hair:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should they shave their heads?&lt;br /&gt;not a bad idea&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get implants?&lt;br /&gt;eh.  not really a fan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or let it go?&lt;br /&gt;sure&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;896. Do rock stars work hard or lead the easy life?&lt;br /&gt;both&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;897. How much water do you drink every day?&lt;br /&gt;usually enough&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;898. Are you driven or kinda apathetic?&lt;br /&gt;depends&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;899. Who do you turn to when you are down?&lt;br /&gt;Bear&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;900. Would you ever wear seran-wrap?&lt;br /&gt;As an outfit?  I guess.  But I demand my undies.  And that it be coloured.&lt;br /&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">This was on the cup that my Gingerbread latte came in.  I like Starbucks sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A good way to pass the cheer when you're on the road is to pay the toll for the car behind you.  Do this and you might start to look at stoplights as holiday lights instead.  Red means stop and be thankful for a moment.  Green means go out and do nice things."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That last part was corny, but I'd totally do it if I ever drove places that required tolls and I didn't have EZ Pass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm in a good mood right now and I don't know why.  I also have the [Scrubs] musical stuck in my head.  Tonight is the VS fashion show.  I may or may not watch it.</content>

I'm included in their definition.  That's what matters.  It talks of Omega 3's which have also been found to reduce the risk of Alzheimers.  Nutrition is fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the topic of weight and stuff I'd like to share how bad the obesity problem is getting in this country.  &lt;a href="http://www.dlisted.com/node/18056"&gt;Disney Revamps Ride&lt;/a&gt;.  I never liked this ride, but it's sort of sad that this has to happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: I just found a check on my boss's desk made out to "Get Tanked."  This amuses me.</content>
