I am going to live to 104!

Yup. It's true. The death clock told me so. My date of death is Sunday, March 19, 20... (I can't tell you the year 'cuz then you'd be able to figure out how old I am now and I can't have that! Women are supposed to lie about their age. It's what they do).
Ok, so I do not usually do stupid things like that, but I saw the website and was curious...

A legendary day in the life of Islandgirl!

I bowled a 152, which in and of itself is a miracle, but even more miraculous... The first 4 frames were strikes! Can you believe it?! I was there, and it's hard for me to believe. Once again, people thought I was lying when I said I was a horrible bowler (this is the second time I've made myself look like a liar when bowling).

Feeling: Inadequate

It's a fear that keeps me wide awake
In the middle of the night
When the expectations are too great and the bar gets raised too high

So I do the best with what I've got
And hope that no one knows
That I strain to see how high I can
Try to stand on these toes
Until I'm measure, but you know better

One more reason to doubt my femininity

In a recent study, it was discovered that men make up the majority of early-morning commuters.

"Before 8 a.m. it's very much a guy thing. The earlier, the more male it is and after 8 a.m. women are actually the majority of the commuters."

I can't help it that I hate traffic and happen to be a morning person, but still, it makes me wonder...

I knew there was a good reason not to get married in a rush!

In a real life West Side Storyesque moment a man accidentially shoots his fiance, thinks he's killed her, and proceeds to shoot and kill himself. All this in an effort to speed up the already fast-approching wedding. (as reported in Reuters)

Let this be a warning to those of you who are in a rush to get married!

A couple of brown plants on the edges of some of those (forests) did catch on fire...

But a section of soldiers downwind from that had some ill effects and decided that was probably not the right course of action.
