About Me

I'm Darcy. 3D. The Jolly Green Giant. Darcy Vader. Stretch. My brother calls me Darcelona and nobody really knows why. I'm obsessed with mountains. Orchids are my favorite flower. I adore coffee and prefer dark chocolate. I'm quite happy to live my life in jeans. I'm not a big talker except for those odd moments when I talk even on for 15 minutes. I love a good book, cannot live without music, and someday I will be able to play my guitar quite proficiently. Jesus is my best bud. I'm not particularly enthralled with politics. I'd rather play sports than watch them. I want to go back to school but I'm scared that I'll fail. I'm really close to my family and live with my sister. I'd rather be outside than in. I love being active but hate exercising just for the sake of exercising. I like to hear deep thoughts and new insights. I hate arguing. I love a good joke, especially if it's on you. I have a temper. I work hard. I love my friends. I learn something new about myself every day. I'm Darcy.A IMG{ border-style:none;

Falling off the map

Yep. Astoria is falling off the map. Okay. Maybe that is a slight exaggeration, although we have been officially visited by the notorious FEMA. We're still waiting to hear what our disaster statu...

Words

Bugger. I love words. I like to think them, like to write them down, type them up - sometimes randomly and sometimes coherently. And sometimes... sometimes words just escape me. I want to say so...

Okay...

A community in Atlanta came together and paid off the mortgage for a family in need. There is some hope and some people do take action. They are my heros.

Babeling, babbling

Just watched Babel. I'm still processing, reacting. Initially I'm thinking - wow. It's definitely an appropriately named film. I'm not sure I can really describe my thoughts though, without using too ...

All hail...something

When I left this morning for work, there was hail frozen in little icy globs all over the ground. Half an hour later, as I sat at my desk, the sun escaped the clouds with sudden grand ceremony and nea...
