I have known people that own horses, but again, it’s Kentucky. There’s a park with stables near me that people that live in the city but want to own horses rent out. Every Tuesday morning when I go by on my way to school, there’s a girl right out at the front of the park letting her horse...

Well, we own about 25% of the house, and the bank owns the rest. We’ve got the mortgage for the next 28 years, but I really hope we can get it paid off faster than that. They take soooo much in interest. The only reason we were able to have the down payment is because Jake’s grandmother died...

To be fair, my boyfriend and I were able to buy a house because an old person died and nobody in her family wanted to keep it.

But whatever, I will post here too. I am super busy lately because I am in the middle of my phlebotomy clinicals. I go to the hospital three days a week and I try to stick needles into as many patients as I can. Most of them are very old and hard to get blood out of, so I guess it’s good...

If we’re all on Facebook we can do a group chat. That’s worked out well for the last forum I was super active on that slowly died.

I have shamed myself as a U2 fan. I'm at a small sci-fi convention this weekend, hosting a table advertising a different convention that I work for. We've got some small board games to play with attendees. One of the games is called Timeline, where each card has a thing on it that...

I share a house with my boyfriend and we rent a room to a good friend of ours. We also have a guest room and occasionally have visitors. I clean up after every damn person, because I'm the only one that's ever bothered by mess and clutter. They'd happily live in the mess, but I can't stand it.

Carlm dowrn.

For me it's always been "wohr-ster-shurr sauce".

Cairo is about an hour drive from my house. There are some cool abandoned buildings and stuff to explore, but I've never felt safe trying it myself. The remaining population are impoverished and mostly unemployed, and crime rates are high for such a small place. A few years ago there was a...

It's pronounced correctly as far as I know, but they pronounce their Cairo as "Care-oh".

So does Tennessee, and Kentucky has a London. Southern Illinois is referred to as "Little Egypt", with such place names as Cairo and Thebes, as well as Lebanon, Karnak, Palestine, Sparta, and New Athens. Cairo, IL has a dark and twisty history and is nearly a ghost town now. It sits at the...

We had rain this morning which helped a lot, but I'm still staying inside with the air conditioning as much as possible. My skin has gotten so sensitive now that if sweat sits on it, it gets irritated and I get a rash. And since I live in HUMIDITY LAND, sweat doesn't evaporate at all...

Let me preface this by saying that this was my first U2 show, and my first time at a concert of this massive size. I've been wanting/trying to see U2 live since 2005, but circumstances never smiled upon me until this year. I had to travel from quite a distance out of town to get to the...

Not for the middle aged woman in front of me who was so drunk that she thought it was appropriate to do a sexy dance to Miss Sarajevo. I wanted to strangle her. The meaning behind the music was completely lost on her and it made me both sad and angry.

How's the temperature down there? I'm up in the seats and we have a lovely breeze.

This is the field as of 7 PM:

We're in coach, but we sat in the front row of the car for maximum leg space. I have made an attempt to sleep, but it seems that it's not going to happen for me. The sun will be up soon though, so I'll have the flatlands of Illinois to look at.

Yeah. First time riding Amtrak. So much nicer than flying.

Hey Ax. Guess what. I'm on a train ;)

We have battery powered camp lanterns. They have come in handy several times.

I once worked an eight hour shift with no lunch and no bathroom break because the store insisted they only needed a single cashier and a single manager to work per shift, and the manager was "too busy" to give me a break, the whole day. She kept saying she'd give me a break "in a little bit, as...

Absolutely.

My group (myself, my boyfriend, and my brother) will be arriving in Chicago about 9 AM on Sunday. We have seats, so we'll be spending most of the day at the Museum of Science and Industry (because AWESOME). We rented an AirBnB very close to the museum. After dinner we'll head to Soldier Field...

I've got seats for Chicago 2. Gonna waltz by that line of people with my delicious Frosty.
