Let me preface this by saying... a couple months ago, a friend asked me "What's your greatest fear in life....?"
The answers that flashed through my head were "Dying," "Never finding true love again," and "never having children...." But I knew those were all things that would eventually happenNeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14385735994729030616noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5997917.post-1093929672812047642004-08-31T00:07:00.000-05:002004-08-31T00:21:12.813-05:00Newfound respect for Mother NatureOn a sidenote.....

Whooo hooooooooo!
I actually had something of significance to post about but *poof* idea gone.
So, to celebrate my 200th episode, I think I shall toddle on over to T.J.'s Irish Pub and raise a glass. I can hear a pint (or four) of Bass calling my name.

My roommate is dating a new man. And he's seemingly perfect. He's handsome, intelligent, kind, funny... and oh yeah, did I mention, worth about $300M? Yes, three hundred million. Scary, but true.

I've apparently lost the ability to spell lately.
As someone else so astutely pointed out, "butgers" sound far from appetizing, and we didn't cook "smokes" sausage, either.

Two of my favorite bloggers (who shall remain nameless, but who will soon be noticeably absent from my Blogroll) closed up shop. Anonymity is a great attraction to this whole blogging world, and I'm sure that for these two, with huge "fanbases," that anonymity was somewhat lost, which subsequently stifled their writing.
