My favorite cold-weather activity is probably reading. Really, things that don't involve going outside, in general.
So I've been thinking some reflective-type thoughts as I approach my thirtieth birthday, so here is my question for everyone:
If you could go back to being, say, twelve years old, knowing everything you know now and being allowed to make use of all that knowledge to change the course of your life, would you do it?

Heck yeah. I'd make facebook.
Also I'd be really friendly with this one girl in gradeschool who grew up to be a hottie at the same college I went to. When we meet up again in freshman english I'll have a much better shot. Awwww yeah.
Code Talkers? Is that about teenagers who use txting speak?

...Code Talkers is about Navajo translators in the military. The Navajo code was unbreakable to anyone who did not speak the language, and important to American security and success during WWII.
(I'm almost tempted to make a comment about "kids today.")

MSA, you teach an ordinary classroom right now right?
Lili, I think Zeke was being sarcastic. I hope so anyways, that is the impression I got.
If I could go back and change things I don't reckon I would. The things that I wish were different weren't my fault so I wouldn't be able to change them anyways. But that's a good question to consider and my opinion about it has changed over the years, I used to think that if I hadn't gone to whereever and had whatever thought as a result of being there that things wouldn't have happened the way they did, but I know better now given the particulars of my situation.
Code Talkers rock my world!!!!!!! I've not read the specific book but, duh yay!!

Haha yeah I was coming up with some crazy idea for what the book might be. I've never read it and didn't know what it was about. Sounds kinda cool.
HIMYM spoilers:

Did you watch that episode yet, MSA? I don't buy it! Robin missed her period and actually got nauseous. I say that doctor is a quack. She told Lily she could drink and do whatever she wanted during pregnancy. I think it's a red herring and she really is pregnant.

Lili- hmm I don't know because I'd be afraid if I changed something I wouldn't end up where I am and I LOVE where I am ( I might go back and refuse the steroid treatment I got right before I got pregnant because it put a ton of weight on me that I'm still struggling to get off)
Riona- I teach special ed resource but I treat it as a normal English class.
Zeek- I have to see HIMYM tonight and then I'll read and comment

It's fuzzy-minded liberal thinking like that that gets you eaten.

I hope so! Poor Robin. I about screamed when she said, "I'm glad you kids aren't real." The whole ship tease between Robin and Barney is really starting to grind my nerves. I'm sure it's their wedding that we keep seeing flashes of, and I wish they'd stop drawing it out.

I know what you mean, but sometimes I wish I could have gotten where I am sooner. There are a couple mistakes I would like avoid (like an aborted arts degree and a bad relationship that still comes back to cause turmoil every once in awhile) and a few things I wish I'd done sooner. Also some small changes I'd like to make in high school, because I did a few dumb things that aren't really deep regrets, but give me a little twinge when I think of them. I'd also like to take better care of my teeth when I had braces, because the difficulty flossing and such eventually caused several cavities that have needed repairs twice, now. Kind of painful and expensive. So, just things like that, kind of like your steroid treatment. I just want to be in better health and looking at a home stretch of a PhD instead of the beginning of one. Things like that.

Best wishes with that PhD Lili, what are you getting it in?
Yeah, from what I know of resource classrooms you can do it like an ordinary English class in many ways.

Thanks. I'm doing an English Literature program. I'd like to be a professor and write a book or two.
