| | 1. I think I don't like Xanga anymore. I never liked it much, but it was easy and convenient and what I started blogging with.
2. I don't like the way the whole set-up is now, and all the hoops I'd have to jump through to get it private the way I want it to be.
3. So, I'm keeping this blog until I hit my 5 year blog anniversary (sometime in August) and then we'll see where I go from there. I suspect I'll finally start using my Livejournal, on a Friends Only setting.
4. The whole Islas Xanga community has gotten worse and worse, anyway. In fact, the whole Islas community. It's not what it was; and frankly, I'm not interested in what it is, just what it was. It's time for me to move on.
5. I like Disney's first three princesses-- Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty. They're pretty and sweet. The rest stink.
6. Like most of Disney.
7. I need a copy of 'Anne of Windy Poplars'. I finally finished 'Anne of the Island' and I'm eager to move on to 'Anne's House of Dreams'. But I definitely need the transitional book.
8. I was so relieved when she finally decided she loved Gilbert.
9. Who DOESN'T love Gilbert?
10. It was nice the way they made the movies. Davy and Dora would have been sickening. The way they gave Davy's line (about Gilbert dying) to Minnie-May really was fantastically good.
11. I brought my marching band uniform home for the last time yesterday. It's a really great-looking uniform, I just wish I had a girl's jacket. Oh well.
12. I know, there must be something wrong with me-- I like our band uniform?!
13. And I miss the old ones, they were pretty nifty.
14. I am so relieved that Carnaby Club is over. It was a complete waste of time for the jazz band.
15. I hate it when people talk about 'withdrawl' or 'withdrawls'.
16. And no, I refuse to admit that I am suffering from Due South withdrawal!
17. I like to say 'Cotard Syndrome'. Although it's a rather weird thing.
18. The new best thing about writing stories is designing the characters' houses. I'll never get to live in all the fantastic houses in the world, so I might as well write about them.
19. My, what a guy, that Gaston.
20. I don't ever have high school band rehearsal again.
21. We're the Iron Chefs of pounding valves.
22. I'm not really sure what it means, either.
23. Did you ever stop to wonder what is so great about the word 'candy-striped'?
24. It's a little strange (but very funny) to start singing a line from a country song and have JoeB join in the end.
25. What's even funnier is Lauren's reaction.
26. Honor God, don't worship idols, don't take God's name in vain, keep the Sabbath, honor your parents, don't murder, don't commit adultery, don't steal, don't bear false witness, don't covet, and don't eat bugs. And whatever you do, don't ever pull the fire alarm.
27. It's time to watch Master and Commander again.
28. And read some more Patrick O'Brian.
29. I've missed Pullings and Bonden.
30. Their absence was conspicuous.
31. My fictional captain Jack is surnamed Aubrey.
32. And yes, he's a cad, a bit too like Nelson; but at least he understands the physics of sailing and doesn't act as if they don't matter.
33. I want to go sailing.
34. If I talk anymore, I'll run out of things to say.
35. Hahah.

Of course, I'll be starting at NSA in August, so goodness knows how much time I'll have to spend around here. 
However, I don't really don't like reading books that are written as journals. The format is so annoying. *shudders* (I couldn't stand reading Dracula either.) IMHO, Anne of Green Gables was Montgomery's best book of that series. Her characters and writing seemed to wane as she progressed.
