I swear…whenever I see Jeremy Renner’s name on Tumblr, or anyplace else these days, all I ever think of is season one of Angel…where he played Penn in the episode “Somnabulist.” Am I the only one?
Rock legend Bob Dylan was honored by President Barack Obama with the Medal of Freedom today in a ceremony held at the White House.
“Bob’s voice, with its weight, its unique gravely power, was redefining not just what music sounded like, but the message it carried and how it made people feel,” Mr. Obama said of the musician. (CBS/AP)
Well, after a whole bunch of hurdles and frustration, my check from the university in West Virginia where I gave an Asperger’s Syndrome presentation last month finally came!! :D That’s $1500 in the bank, baby! My day has so totally been made. OH FRABJOUS DAY, CALLOO CALLAY.

My sister wanted to bring her teddy with her when we traveled alone to Ecuador two years ago for comfort reasons. But it wouldn’t fit in her suitcase and she didn’t want it to get lost. She was 22 at the time. I don’t think it’s weird at all :)
Aww thanks, Rev. I still haven’t completely made up my mind, but the stuffed animal anecdotes from you and Lyns are making me feel a lot less freakish. Haha. I appreciate it very much. :)

I say bring it anyway. I would. I sleep with Poohbear and I’m 25.
I dunno…Haha. I’m having enough sort of weird childhood/adult intersectioning going on with trying to decide whether or not to bring Mr. Dobalina with me (stashed secretly in my suitcase, of course). If I had that, and my teddy bear….I dunno, it’s just different worlds clashing together and I think it might make my brain melt. Haha.

Why, no, I’m not irrationally attracted to this man when he’s dressed like this. Why whatever do you mean…
So, my trip is just days away now, and the nervousness/excitement is mounting. I mentioned to my mom on the phone today that I had briefly thought about bringing my teddy bear, Addy, with me (because I really dislike long flights). I said how silly a notion it seemed, even though I brought her with me the last time that I went to Italy. But I was 17 then, and now, well…it’d just be even sillier for a grown woman to have a teddy bear with her. My mom, however, being the incredibly smart woman that she is, came up with a great idea, which is that I could take a picture of Addy with my iPhone, and so I’d have that to look at that on the plane.
This is why I love my mother, you see; because she didn’t dismiss my concerns or diminish what I was feeling, or ridicule me in any way. Instead she offered a reasonable, appropriate, helpful solution to my problem. Yes, my mom = awesome.
