About Me

This is me:
Julies laugh dolphin dub
I like physics projects. Please excuse spelling mistakes & conversion inaccuracies. :)
Comment my fabulosity:
Wuddup, Muthatrucka!!
i eat people.
I have just one question: where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
I like bananas because they have no bones. My favorite number is 27. Isn't it just gorgeous?
I think the people in my life can attest that I am a mildly hysterical young woman with off-beat habits and tastes who is nonetheless amusing, enjoyable company. Or maybe that's total BS. I invite you to find out for yourself!
if you speak Farsi or Spanish, let's have a conversation so I can exploit you and get in some practice. If you know any Latin, let's have a geeky talk about the beautiful utility of declensions; and if you know any French, teach me some!
:)
It's a sorrowful morning Susie--the wind blows and it rains; "into each life some rain must fall," and I hardly know which falls fastest, the rain without, or within--Oh Susie, I would nestle close to your warm heart, and never hear the wind blow, or the storm beat, again. Is there any room there for me, darling, and will you "love me more if ever you come home"?--it is enough, dear Susie, I know I shall be satisfied. But what can I do towards you?--dearer you cannot be, for I love you so already, that it almost breaks my heart--perhaps I can love you anew, every day of my life, every morning and evening--Oh if you will let me, how happy I shall be!

Also, Stonewall Jackson was pretty cool. That whole idea of working one's hardest in spite of personal, natural impediments, or lack of personal, natural advantages -- yeah, that's him.
