Friday Effing Fill-Ins
2. Blogging satisfies my need for community and writing about pointless (or not so pointless) things.
3. When I look at a full moon, I feel awed and magical and regret that I don't have a camera with me.
4. If I want a snack, I usually reach for a bag of candy or chips or something microwavable. Unhealthy, I know.
5. The most recent movie I saw, 30 Days of Night, made me jump and it made me sad cuz there isn't exactly the happiest of endings.
6. If only I had money to do the things that really matter to me like visiting campers.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to chillin with my parentals and sister, tomorrow my plans include the hunting of the elusive Christmas tree and Sunday, I want to kick NaNoWriMo in the ass and crank out a bunch of words!

Quiet, please, it's time for Thursday Thirteen
Thirteen Ways to Win MJ's Heart
1. Touching. Casual, easy, absentminded, affectionate touching.
2. Love one or more of the things she loves just as violently and passionately as she loves them.
3. Make her laugh and laugh with her.
4. Be o p e n m i n d e d.
5. Ask her opinion, ask her questions about things she likes. Take interest.
6. Notice when she isn't happy. She hides it well, so pay attention.
7. Be yourself. Be unique.
8. Give her compliments. They make her feel warm and fuzzy.
9. Always be ready to fight with her and make up afterwards. She loses her temper easily and she loves arguments.
10. Be a constant surprise. Be spontaneous and random. Catch her off guard, sweep her off her feet.
11. Make sure she knows you like/love being with her.
12. Let her take lots of pictures of you/with you.
13. Let her share the things she loves with you.

Rowdy
This is Rowdy, one of the many horses Hope For Horses has rescued. He and his brother, Sam, are minis. He's currently in rehabilitation, while Sam is ready for adoption. Rowdy is a sweet, curious horse who always comes to see whoever comes into the barn.

Because it's fun . . .
- Halloween is most definitely an excusefor her to dress like a slut and she loves it.
- She never cries.
- She got over her worries awhile ago that she wasn't learning enough as an unschooler. She knows now that she knows more about what matters than an kid in school ever will.
- What matters is acceptance of everyone and yourself, love, peace, emotion, life, family, friends, enjoying life, doing what's important to you, et cetera.
- Vogue is one of hermany guilty pleasures.
- She went through a phase where she rejected everything at all feminine. Now she likes girl stuff as much as guy stuff.
- Chai is basically the greatest hot drink ever.
- She loves sleeping in and a part of her will hate you forever if you wake her up earlier than necessary.
- She doesn't care what people say about them selling out, Panic! at the Disco and Fall Out Boy are awesome.
- She loves love stories, but only if they live happily ever after.
- She doesn't like doing anything alone, but has lately been forcing herself to do more things by herself.
- She loves writing letters (and getting them), but never does it.
- She loves shoes. Like, ALOT.
- She wants alot of piercings.
- She is a work of art (in progress).
- She loves coloring.
- She papers her walls with pictures and ads from magazines.
- She loves driving things. Cars, boats, jetskis, four wheelers, tractors, motorcycles, dirtbikes, sailboats, everything.
- She likes dresses, but finds it's much too cold for them in the Pacific Northwest most of the time, which is sad.
- She's been to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Many times. Yes, she knows you're jealous.
- She loves lotion that smells nice.
- She wants to go on an epic adventure everyday and would love it if you wanted to come on one.
- She loves anime and manga, too. Like . . . alot. Her very favorite is Fruits Basket. She would put a link to the Wiki, but, apparently, there are mucho spoilers in there.
- To let off stress she talks in the third person every so often.
- She's double-jointed in her fingers.
- She would wear high heels everywhere if her feet wouldn't kill her after half an hour.
- "Kid Stuff" is fun for teenagers, too.
- She loves surprising people.
- She tends to wear sunglasses at night, which is just one of her quirks.
- She LOVES sweaters, which is why winter is her very favorite season. All she wants for Christmas is sweaters. Lots of pretty, colorful, fuzzy, thick sweaters.
