[deckardcanine]

1. Edited articles by microbiologists for microbiologists for five months
2. Gotten $50 for less than half a page published in GAMES Magazine
3. Loved both The Passion of the Christ AND Fahrenheit 911
4. Won a National Minority Leadership Award with 100% Caucasian blood (hey, Bill Clinton managed something similar)
5. Met Mary Chapin Carpenter without realizing it until I’d left
6. Met a random guy in Panama who guessed my high school on the first try
7. Had an uninvited stranger in her underwear accidentally invade my bed (see my second earliest post for details)
8. Made a Hershey’s Special Dark Bar in plain sight disappear bit by bit over three months (women get furious at me for that)
9. Posed with the world-renowned marching flamingos, twice
10. Had my personality compared to a Koopa Paratroopa

Incidentally, today is the first anniversary of my LJ.

You know she officially died of a heart attack, right? Classifying anorexia victims as suicides seems a tad insensitive, but I can see the point being made.

Clearly I wasn't paying close attention to that VH1 special.

My apologies- I thought you were just being a hard-liner in regards to self-created problems. Poor Karen was in the midst of turning over a new leaf too, but her heart was critically damaged. I used to think the Carpenters were unbearably cheesy, but the pathos of their lives removes the shallowness.
