random schmandom...
i've been feeling a little "under the weather" the past few days and have been doing some extra lounging around... i've read a lot, slept more and done a lot of thinking. (WARNING: those who get faint with hearing about bodily fluids and/or functions, please skip the rest of this paragraph...) thinking about things other than the razorblade that is scratching at the back of my throat, the phlegm that i'm about to hack up, my rumbling stomach, or the snotty plugs in my nose that are making me a current perma mouth-breather. i hate mouth-breathing.
to take my mind off of my current unpleasantries, i've come up with yet another list....
without further adieu...
in no particular order...
