Lazy Sunday
Wake up in the late afternoon. Seriously, can anyone else say 'Lazy Sunday' and not think of the song? Well I can't. This weekend has been a really lazy one, to the point that I'm not sure if I can say it was a weekend or just an extended nap with eating in between. Though last night out for tea was fun - the lovely Deb and I had a very average dinner at the Britannia just out of the city (worst. schnitzel. ever.) but then we went down Runlde Street to my all time favourite place - Cocolat. I think everyone else had the same idea because even at half past nine it was packed! I had the usual (lemon crepes and iced coffee) and Deb had a blonde brownie and some kind of coffee. After that we walked up the road to the tattoo parlour. Seriously, I have no intention of ever getting a tattoo, but last night I was so close to it! If they didn't cost over $100 I probably would have gotten one. As soon as I got home I was like - what the hell!? If you were to get a tattoo what would it be? For me, I would get 'Just Breathe' on my wrist. When I told my mum this she said 'What? Just Brie?', to which I said 'Yes mum, because we both know of my legendary love for Brie'. Mums.
So I'm watching all the Harry Potters before the big finale on Saturday. So sad watching the first one. Mainly because of Hedwig. Seriously, a million people could die in a movie but if one, just one animal dies, I'm beside myself. Is anyone else like this? I know my sister is. My dad just shakes his head. I'm pretty sure I'm going to cry and cry in the finale, so I'm glad we're going to Gold Class. Do they have Gold Class in the States? It's like the first class of movie theatres. Not only do you get recliner seats, but there's also a bar and you can order food to be delivered to you during the movie. But the best part - there are only like, 28 seats in there so not a lot of people are going to see me crying. Note to self: take sunglasses with you. We're going at 9 in the morning, so sunglasses aren't going to look as out of place as if I saw it at 9 at night! Gah. Can't wait. God, they were so little in the first one! Also: I was totally in love with Robert Pattison when he was in Goblet Of Fire. And hasn't Neville grown into his face?
Enough Potter talk. I need to go clean my house and wash some clothes. And eat another one of those disgusting biscuits.
Have a good week guys & girlies!

The Washing Detergent, The Ham & Emma
Do you like the new necklace I bought? It's from Nu Bambo at Etsy - I just couldn't resist it! I'm really into natural stones at the moment and this is just the perfect combo. When I was younger I collected a magazine that every month would feature a different semi-precious stone and amethyst was one of my favourites. I wonder where all those stones are now?
So today I went to the local centre and whilst getting cash out at the ATM, noticed a couple eating sandwiches. The wife dropped a piece of ham on the floor. And the guy picked up the ham and ate it. Off the floor. Floor ham. When I saw him pick it up I almost yelled out 'DON'T EAT THAT! ARGH!'. Instead I grimaced and bought myself a cookie dough iceacream even though it's about ten degrees outside. I also bought an amazing new detergent today. I am a sad old 27 year old. It's by Radiant and it's a gel. I am a sucker for new products, but this time I know it's good because my sister Sarah tried a sample of it!
How is everyone's weekend going so far? I've been trawling the interwebs to find new DIYs to show to you all, but sometimes I feel like I've found them all. I need to start making my own! Sigh. Yes. I will. I promise I'll have something for y'all tomorrow!
OK, I'm off to watch the rest of Sister Act II. This is one of my all time favourite movies. Oh Lauryn Hill, you are so rebellious.

Deep & Meaningful Post No.1
Up and down my week goes, with me bobbing on the surface trying to keep my head above water. Sometimes it may feel like you're going under, just as someone pulls you up. Small sweetneses like a hug or a laugh may seem insignificant but they can literally be life savers. Don't ever think that you are not important enough to make a change in someone else's life - sometimes just asking 'are you OK?' (and um, genuinely wanting to know the answer!) can mean more than you'll ever know. As you can tell, this week has been a bumpy road that at times I really wanted to get off of. It can be so easy to give up too. But to make it a real life, a proper life, you have to go through the crap as well as the great to make it worth living. The best thing is to deal with your problems - don't white wash them over, don't say 'oh, other's have it worse off'. That might be true but that's not our life they're living.
Look after yourself. If you can't change your situation (and you certainly can't change someone else - unless you're Oprah - which in that case, omigod Oprah is reading my Tumblr!) then change the way you react to it. This doesn't mean changing yourself because that's a recipe for disaster. One thing I am constantly trying to practice is thinking with my head and not letting my heart scream over it.
I hope everyone out there is doing OK. If you're not, please tell someone. If you're doing great and this completely depressed you, I'm sorry! If you're depressed and this somehow helped, well that's great too.
Bonus: it's Friday tomorrow! AND it's the long weekend! Woo!
Thoughts & Feelings & etc.
How was everyone's weekend? Mine was super productive with my bathroom makeover! I went for a really pretty aqua blue colour called 'Clear Aqua' for a feature wall and have set myself up with a dressing table. I wanted to get some nice fabric for a window treatment and found a gorgeous piece in Spotlight. I thought it would cost a bit, but when the girl scanned it… it was a DOLLAR A METRE! Insane. I should have gotten more! It's not completely done yet, but when it is you know I'm going to share pics with you.
It's only Monday but today I did something that made me feel really grown up. Do you ever get that feeling like sometimes you're just pretending to be grown up, but then you do something really responsible and you're like… OK, maybe I am a proper grown up!? Anyway, I was really proud of myself so I think the rest of the week is going to go well.
I get really annoyed when people make a big deal of how many followers they have, because that's not the reason why I do my blog. I love to create, I love to design and I love finding inspiration and I love sharing these passions with y'all. But I have to say, I'm really chuffed that I'm past the 4000 followers mark! I never thought that my blog would be that popular, especially as past attempts at blogging failed miserably! I know I say it all the time but all the gorgeous messages people send me make me so happy. Sorry if my replies get a bit samey but I'm not sure what else to say other than I really appreciate people taking the time to write and say hello and give feedback!
So I'm mulling some stuff over in my mind at the moment and working on a secret project which I'm going to share with y'all later. Hopefully people will like it! Stay tuned Mildly Interested Followers!
Stay warm if you're in Adelaide, stay cool if you're not!

Questions, Answers, Food & Thoughts
I get asked this a lot so I just wanted to give a heads up to people who aren't familiar with the way I format my posts. If you would like to have a look at the source of my post, please click on the image and it will take you through. All my DIYs are posted with the name of the project in bold and the website source following in italic (i.e. Name Of Project | Name of Website). All images are linked to the immediate tutorial, but of course you can then click around the fantastic sites! I think it's important to always pay tribute to the people you feature.
Anyway, lots of love to y'all and thank you to everyone who follows me! It really makes me happy to see all the comments and love you give to the amazing people I feature. There are so many creative folks out there, and it makes me happy to share their crafts with the Tumblr community.
It's been quite a week and I can't believe it's already Sunday tomorrow (er, actually it's Sunday now :-/) I've been back to the gym, tried Twizzlers, decided never to eat Twizzlers again, started re-decorating my bathroom, got a fantastic new moisturiser, made lots of new beauty-question geniouses, had phone wars with a cab company, designed the best name tags ever for a Carers outing, answered a million phone calls, read the new Real Living magazine and spent way too much money on makeup! Btw, has anyone out there tried pretzel M&Ms?! They are amazing! They remind me a lot of the crispy M&Ms (do they have those in the states?)
OK, enough of the talkin, I really should get to bed, I've got a day of shopping tomorrow! I'm sure it will be adventurous and I will have lots to share.

Thoughts & Musings Part III
1. I seriously can't wait for Christmas. I have so many awesome tutorials to share. Sorry followers, but I will be starting to post Christmas tutorials in November. Just a warning!
2. Have you smelt Katy Perry's new perfume Purr? As much as I'm starting to hate every celebrity putting out a perfume, I actually really love it! And the cat bottle. Adorable. For serious, any fruity scent and I'm all over it.
3. I had a seriously awesome trip into the city with my niece and mum yesterday. We had a very 'cosmopolitan' afternoon on Rundle Street, that ended with a trip to Cocolat. Mia was very excited and enjoyed her strawberry gelati and people watching. She also loved the coins embedded in the side walk (all up and down Rundle street are Australian & International coins in the cement. Art is all around you!) and tried to pick up the coins to no avail. She also bought a tiny Chinese bowl from Bauhaus. She was so adorable - she paid her money, took her bag and started to walk away. I think we need to teach her about change!
4. Back to the gym tomorrow! Time to get back into the old exercise. Yikes.
5. Last weekend I was nearing 2500 followers. I was at 2404 on Saturday. Tonight I realised that I've passed the 2500 and am up to 2817! So welcome to all my new followers, I hope you get lots of inspiration and craftiness from my blog. Feel free to request a project or ideas, I'm always happy to help! And thank you to those who reblog, love and comment on my posts. It totally makes my day!
OK, good night everyone! I hope you had a great week, a great weekend, a great mother's day and a great week to look forward to.

Things I Am Excited About (sooner and later)
- The new Hoodwinked movie. That's right, Hoodwinked! Haha! I adored the first one. That squirrel, oh my gosh so cute.
- Spending Mother's day with my mum and taking her out for breakfast. I think maybe Wild Thyme if it isn't already booked out…
- Going overseas next year. It's gonna happen!
- Winning the last round of footy (7 out of 7! I get a free Whopper!)
Things I Love Right Now
- Watching re-runs of Angel. Cordellia rules.
- Sewing again… it's so calming!
- Getting new followers everyday, so awesome!
- The weather getting cooler.
Things I Am Not Loving Right Now (and never will)
- Still having a chest infection
- Drivers who go 50 in the right hand lane/back to school traffic
- Not being able to find my favourite black skirt. WHERE IS IT!?
- Banging my knee on the bed in the spare bedroom. Every. Time.
Things I Am Planning (to do at some point…)
- sort out my cupboard/fridge by purchasing basic cooking items and actually cooking more!
- Get organised for a stall at the end of the year… which means collating ideas, buying supplies, making things, etc
- Re-papering above my fireplace
- Actually making some of the DIYs i've been posting!
That's all. I love making lists, it gets all the thoughts out of my head! Haha! And how adorable is that image - by the wonderful Love Sugar on Etsy. It was actually in my 'suggested shops'. I love that! Anyway, what is everyone else loving/disliking at the moment? Any plans for a crafty weekend?
I'm sorry there was only one DIY tonight - since I got home at 5:30 I've been sewing! I don't have a great photo but tomorrow when I have a bit more light I'll take one of my little project. I'm not 100% pleased with how it turned out, but considering I haven't sewn in ages I think it's a pretty good start!
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who did/has written messages - I truly love reading them/replying to them. You all make my day a little brighter!
I promise tomorrow will be filled with DIY goodness. But for now I must get to bed, especially as my laptop has 10% power left!
Hope everyone has a great Friday (weekend next, YAY!) and expect to see a post from me about the Royal Wedding! My guesses:
- her bridesmaids will be wearing blue
- the flowers will be roses
- the boys will have grey somewhere in their suits…
- Kate will cry
- there will be a shot of Elton John crying too!
I seriously can't wait. Argh! 7%!
Goodnight everyone!

Thoughts About Tumblr
1. It constantly surprises me what is popular/not popular in regards to what I post. Sometimes I think - this is going to get heaps of likes/reblogs and it gets… nothing. And sometimes - such as the lace candles I posted last night - I am amazed at how much people like it! Seriously, the lace candles were something I found randomly through blog jumping and I thought, that's cute, I'll chuck it up. Do you find this too?
2. I sometimes read people's usernames and think - wha?! How did you decide on that? Some are plays on people's names which I love. I'm a pun lovin' girl. Get it?!
3. My mum reads my Tumblr which I love. She's not really down with technology, but she loves my Dad's iPad and she reads it on there. Sometimes I'll post something just cos I know she will like it!
4. I fiound a blog today that was only reblogs from someone else's Tumblr - and I don't mean from a mix of other Tumblrs, I mean they were only from one blog. It was basically the reblogee's Tumblr but with a different name. I'm all for blog loving, but I found that so strange! I don't know how I'd feel about that - I love when people re-blog my stuff, but to only reblog my stuff and not put any other content or your own content on there? I know imitation is the highest form of flattery, but this seemed too much like… straight out copying. For me, Tumblr is all about your own self expression, not about someone else's. Yes, this will be a mix of other people's stuff, but seriously, put some of your own in there!
5. I love GIFs, especially Simpsons GIFs, and there are a ton on Tumblr. The one featured is from one of my favourite episodes. 'All right, I'm going to start punching air, and if you get in the way, it's your own fault!'
OK, that's all I have to say. Hope I didn't offend anyone, as always, it's just my opinion! Hope y'all had a great long weekend (er, if you're Aussie!) or a great working Tuesday (if you're not!)

TGIF… tomorrow
Wow, I went crazy with the posts tonight! Made up for the fact I did nothing yesterday, which seemed to annoy some people because I lost five followers overnight. Don't you wish you could ask them why they stopped following? Haha! 'Was it me? Did I post too many scarf tutorials?!'
Anyway, I had a good day today, and I think that needs to be acknowledged. Most of my day was spent doing SafeTALK suicide prevention training… which isn't fun… but it was incredibly helpful and so interesting. Once people start talking it's amazing to see how mental health & suicide has touched everyone in some way. Anyway, I am now a trained SafeTALK person, so if you ever need to talk, let me know!
We also got an EFTPOS machine today… oh my gosh it is so fun to use! I was so taken with it that someone had to remind me that it was 3:30 and that I had to go home.
And the last exciting thing that is happening I want to share is that I'm going to go pick over the books at Borders in the city tomorrow night with my dad! Poor Borders. Oh well, their loss is my gain. I'm hoping there's still some good stuff there seeing everything in the store is 30-40% off. I really want to get some Terry Pratchett books and if there's any left, some gift cards.
OK, have a good night/day everyone, and check back tomorrow to find out what I bought - I know y'all will be on the edge of your seat with anticipation!

p.s. the art work is by The Small Object, purveyors of fine tiny things
1. I'm so annoyed that Kent & Vyxin got to the check in before Ron & Christina on the Amazing Race! They were so rude to the people in India, I was screaming at the tv, 'YOU'RE SO RUDE! I HOPE YOU LOOOOOOOOSE!'
2. I'm so glad we have the cold weather back. I know people hate it but I love nothing better than getting home, putting on my trackies and turning on the heater. My cat Sophie loves it too. She's like a living hot water bottle.
3. I've finally watched the 3rd Die Hard Movie after it sitting on my table for about two weeks. It's my favourite of the 3. 'Are you trying to hit these people on purpose?' 'No - well, maybe that mime'
4. I got my first 'adult' tumblr follower today. I was feeling left out because everyone was always talking about how they had so many rudie followers. I'm not sure what to do about it - it's not like it's affecting me in any way. I guess people who enjoy naked people must like DIY too?!
5. I'm super excited about my Birthday Weekend. I'm even making tshirts for us to wear for the Annual Mexican & Mini Golf Fiesta. Not sure what, but they will be epic, and there will be photos. Also looking forward to Hogs Breath (amazing steak house in Adelaide) with my family. They are the best.
6. I like making lists. It clears the mind.
7. I can't get that new Avril Lavigne song out of my head. It's so freaking catchy! Damn you Lavigne. Have you seen the film clip?! It's basically an advertisement for her stuff. Sharpen up Lavigne, we're onto you.
8. If you've never tried it before, I implore you to have a potato salad & ham sandwich tomorrow for lunch. It's so delicious.
9. America's Next Top Model is annoying me, especially how they originally had Alexandria as the 'bitch' then turned her into some kind of pariah after Brittany yelled at her. Two things learned for Brittany: just because everyone is backing you up behind the scenes, doesn't mean that they're going to back you up when it comes to the punch and never trust reality tv! Also, I really want 'fiercly real' Kasia to win. Good lord, what is she, like a size ten!? How is that fiercly real!
10. I wish wallpaper was cheaper.
OK, that's all I have to say. Hope everyone's Monday was good and that it set a nice tone for the rest of the week! And if not - well hey, it's only four more days til the weekend!
hugs & love,

I guess that was a "love it or hate it" performance by Joshua.
I am just plain tired of stupid JLo!
I guess that was a "love it or hate it" performance by Joshua.
I am just plain tired of stupid JLo!
Loved Josh's first performance and was underwhelmed by his Imagine performance. Not that it was bad... I don't think it's in him to give a bad performance, but it just wasn't the right song for him.
Jessica was horrible on that Mariah Carey song... she could not sing the notes in her lower register as others have said. P2's song I was not familiar with. He sounded like he always sounds. I think, judging by the audience reaction, that we have a winner. Another WGWG.
Ugh. That was....not good. I'm just not a Jessica fan. Nor am I a fan of Randy's incessant YOs.
Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted - John Lennon
If not for my stupid dog bugging the you know what out of me to take him out, I think I would have cried during Jessica's home town visit when she started talking about her dad. I can only imagine how over-whelming this all is for her.
I just heard from a friend telling me to watch the show tonight. Her son is the Naval man thay presented Jessica with the jacket and the hat. Way cool.
Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait for the answer. ~Author Unknown
I wasn't impressed with Jessica, it was miles better than her first song though.
But he still insists on calling everyone "DUDE".
P2 changed from a gray shirt into a olive drab or tan shirt for this next performance .
Aww, Philip's dad is a sweetie.

A Word from Sir Reginald Bling:
"The following poem - The New Uncle Tom - is not written for a conservative, pro-life, audience. I am not preaching to the choir in that ghetto. My poem is performed in the genre and with the words that carry meaning in the circles that Mr. Jackson and I reach. In fact, any Jackson film enthusiast - of which I am one - will note that most of the lines come straight from many of Mr. Jackson's films. I encourage the viewer to place the line with the right movie...right to the last stanza...and I hope you enjoy this small offering in Mr. Jackson's honor." Sir Reginald Bling

So you ' re interested in astronomy ( the study of the cosmos) and you'd like to learn more about the night sky. Let's start by dividing the celestial sphere (the visible universe) into segments or regions. This has already been done for us by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). There is a finite number of eighty-eight regions (constellations) that cover our visible universe from earth. That's not such a big number and it gets even smaller if you live in the northern hemisphere because there are quite a few constellations that are not visible to us from here. Let us focus on a very important group.
Many people say to me, especially at public star parties that they don't know any constellations except the BIG DIPPER ( Ursa Major) and ORION. My reply is usually " Everybody has heard of the ZODIAC and its twelve constellations."
Now a little 'science lesson' to help you locate these celestial bodies. The sun , moon and planets all travel in a specific path or band across the sky. This is called the ecliptical plane or 'ecliptic'. Cuneiform writings from Mesopotamia circa 2000 B.C. have revealed to us that ancient astronomers gave names to the groupings of stars (constellations) as they watched the sun, moon and planets pass through them each year. The Greeks adopted them from the Babylonians and passed them on to other civilizations. The word ZODIAC is a Greek word meaning a group of animals. Ancient Egypt adopted many, as well as India and China. As time passed these constellations became known as the Zodiac and over time the number of them has varied between twelve and eighteen.
We now have twelve signs of the zodiac. Each one covers 30 degrees of the sky for a total of 360 degrees which completes the ecliptic. Let's name these famous constellations: Aries ( the ram), Taurus ( the bull), Gemini ( the twins), Cancer ( the crab), Leo ( the lion), Virgo (the virgin), Libra (the scales), Scorpio (the scorpion), Sagittarius (the archer), Capricornus (the sea-goat), Aquarius (the water-pourer), and Pisces (the fish). You may have noticed that I did not start with Aquarius but instead Aries. Technically the zodiac begins where the sun falls on the first day of spring (the vernal equinox) which is in Aries.
When you go outside and see the path the sun cuts across the sky or the path of the moon, look for the constellations we named before and try to see the creatures that ancient astronomers saw many years ago. In my next article I will focus on a few of these constellations revealing more details about them and objects found within their fixed boundaries as well as constellations nearby. I intend to pick ones that are visible between 9 and 10 PM our time.
Come explore the night sky!

Spring, Summer and Fall are typically the best observing times here in northern Nevada. However, as you can see by the list of events to the left, we have events planned all the time. Check out our calendar to see all of the events planned for this year.
We have events planned for all members of the community:
· Public Star Parties. In addition to our regular telescope viewing at Rancho San Rafael Park on the first Friday of every month (weather permitting), we are asked by many park rangers to host activities during the summer months. During these events we pull our telescopes out and view many of the brightest and most fascinating objects in the sky.
Other Observing Opportunities...

It's okay, I know what you mean. I've thought about that sort of thing a lot and I think it varies to be honest. Sometimes it's as you describe it, but sometimes it just makes you bitter as fuck and easily irritated by trivialities. It's also meant I'm in a fairly unique position to be in my twenties having never made any plans - and that has come back to bite me on the arse in as many ways as it's freed me from a sense of obligation to do this or that. Thanks for your sweet message :}
You can borrow it when I'm not using it.
Thank youuu~!
Ahhh, thanks!
I don't get my clothes from any particular place, but mostly second-hand and charity shops. That's my favourite way to shop, also, but I usually modify most things I buy - it's the most fun way to dress!
Nooo! It burns!
You're right, it did come out really cool!
You're like a magician of data.
Lily Allen's my dad.
If you mean my last photo, I could give it a go but actually, I didn't put it up myself. It was done by a hair stylist for a shoot!
Plus any tutorials done by me would be really, really boring :-{D
Found it! Thanks for letting me know, shame she can never be arsed with crediting any of her inspirations though, ain't it?

Synopsis: A romantic triangle heats up the Alaskan tundra in this romantic comedy. Bascom Dinsmore (Robert Montgomery) is a radio operator who is stationed at a remote outpost in the frozen plains of Alaska. Dinsmore gets very little in the way of companionship, particularly of the female variety, so he's more than a bit enthusiastic when lovely Irene Champion (Myrna Loy) and her wealthy British groom-to-be Sir James Felton (Reginald Owen) have to make an emergency landing near his cabin. Dinsmore takes an ... Full Synopsis

Ronda Rousey loves her F-Me boots and hanging out with her dog.
oh man no more ronda
U heard that a*******? f****** keyboard warriors……….
irritating ugly bitch
Please no more Ronda lol Nice pic by the way
The more I hear her speak the more I like Cyborg…
Good lord I knew this was going to happen when she won. But now the bitch wont shutup.
I dont know why so many hate Ronda. She backs up her talk and that's all I ask of any fighter. On top of that she's smart and easy on the eye which is always a bonus.
Honestly, I cant get enough of her. I'm in the UK and I stayed up all night to watch that Strikeforce card purely for her, otherwise id have just watched the fight videos the next day.
Cyborg, KO this bitch please, shes so annoying… I dont care if u have a dick CYborg, jsut kill this bitch
She's an awesome fighter, she is attractive, but she's annoying as F*** and her voice is extremely irritating. I just want to see her challenged, and I think Cyborg is the only one who can do that..
hahaha that's crazy she's calling out keyboard warriors now
Pretty funny honestly. If you actually watch the video instead of just commenting it's not that bad.
She can pet my dog, but only if she shuts up.
damn this bitch needs to get Bisping'd
The keyboard warrior does not play by normal rules of engagement. By that I mean they don't run the risk of a face to face verbal or sometimes physical retribution…It's insecurity in it's purest form; bunch of green eyed monsters.
I m friend of ronda soo please all of you shutt up. She is a great person, nice, and dont do steroids like miss Cris Dick between her legs cyborg.
you annoy us already when you only write a few lines. Imagine how it would be when we actually heard you talk and see your ugly mutafaka face
she was actually quite nice. its not her fault that a lot of people want to interview her and put it on the net.
given the opportunity, i'll probably take her up on her offer. maybe we can meet at 145. Hope cyborg KO s her
Nuno it is crazy that you tell folks to shut up and respect Ronda when her friends and camp have been spewing garbage like what you wrote. Cyborg will KO this clown easy! And have some respect. It is her camp and her friends s*** talking all this penis nonsense and trying to duck the hell out of Cyborg. The absolute funniest part is Ronda is already a betting favorite on some sites. This is an excellent oppurtunity for ppl to invest in a house or car that only have 1/3 the amount of money necessary. Nothing like free money I will be putting my money where my mouth is you can believe that.
I Love You Ronda
Cyroid Sucks
Man, I'm starting to get a little Ronda'd out. I need a few Rouseyless weeks now I think.
I never really liked her but she is right, p***** write cause p***** can't fight!
Hey how annoying would frank Mir and rousy be as a couple, you wouldnt be able to get a word in, they would just talk in one continuous sentence
@ Allan in the Uk – Right there with ya, mate. Ronda IS Strikeforce. Cheers! ♠
She's a really interesting fighter, love watching her…but damn, she runs her mouth waaay too much. still rooting for her, but she's annoying as hell
So once the Cyborg fight is done thats pretty much womens mma over
Hate Ronda love Cyborg, Ronda is so damn annoying and has been for the last couple of years, why don't others see this.
I like ronda but you find reasons to hate her if your looking for one. Shes a great fighter and she looks great but when she says she hates kim k. Hating other people for being famous and making alot money then going out and selling yourself to anyone who will protome you can be a little hypocritcal and hating on phelps for not embracing you. To be honest she seems like a bitter person even though she has so many things to be happy about.
because ronda has won all her fights in under a min except one…. and guyborg was on steroids and cheated to get her wins…. dip shi%
I bet her dog doesn't even like her, the dog has probably been loving life without her around.
I have never seen you at an event because I'm not some queer fan boy who goes around asking roided out meat heads for autographs but if I did see you and said something to you I know you wouldn't hit me because I am a dude(which means I have balls by definition!)and you would get brutally cornholed in front of everyone worse than if you fought the post op tranny!
Ronda I've pissed in tiolets that look better than you! Loud mouth hoe!
Ronda when I see you I'm gonna put my middle finger up your ass and your gonna like it!That little gay lord of the rings troll Wetzel u hang with can suck my cock!

I created a plumbing fixture family with a shared parameter (ie, HWFU). When I set the connector to an Instance parameter, the fixture units calculate just fine.
I set the connector to a Type parameter, load the family into the project (overwrite existing & parameter values), change the Type parameter to a number (1 in this case), the calculated fixture units in the pipe drop to 0.
Any ideas on why this isn't working? I'm using Revit MEP 2013.
I just noticed that whatever I set the "default" value to before I load it into the project is what's calculated. Whenever I change the parameter, whether it be in the schedule or by Edit Type, it does not reflect in the pipe system.

Hey Jim,
Did you see this?
I think I might just take this dog and pony show on the road.
Recently, I was asked to do some PA work, and since that is what I do to make the real mad cash, I said yes. This is how I ended up in a video with Mo Rocca, who you might know from The Tomorrow Show, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, The Daily Show, Iron Chef, and some of those VH1 talking head shows. He has been on a lot of "Shows."
Anyway, I really need Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay to discover me, so if you know that either of them read your blog, it would be super awesome if you could reblog this… I guess it would be cool if George Lucas saw it too.
This company oakwood.com paid for it all. I am going to try to pitch a travel show where I just go check up on their apartments. Maybe it will be called, The Super Super.

Eighteen normal men and women had a left hemisphere advantage for
processing a verbal task, but depressed women showed a trend toward right
hemisphere superiority. In depression the right hemisphere may share
functions performed exclusively by the left hemisphere in normal subjects.
Altered laterality may be a trait of depression-prone people or a change
related to depressive episodes themselves. In the latter case, the right
hemisphere may be compensating for relative deactivation of the dominant
left hemisphere.

Phylicia Rashad, who is in Atlanta at the moment working on the remake of "Steel Magnolias," will appear along with Mekhi Phifer in the stage premiere of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," from July 10 to 29 at Georgia State's Rialto Center for the Arts.
Both "Magnolias" and "Guess Who's" are being directed by Kenny Leon. The play is a production of Leon's True Colors Theatre Company, and the script was adapted by True Colors associate artistic director Todd Kreidler from William Rose's Oscar-winning screenplay. (Tickets and information: 877-725-8849 or http://ticketalternative.com/Venues/336.aspx).
Rashad is no stranger to Atlanta. She appeared in "For Colored Girls," the film adaptation of the play by Ntozake Shange that Tyler Perry directed. The film was set in New York but was mostly shot here.
Phifer ("ER," "Lie to Me") recently starred in the Leon-directed production of "Stick Fly" at Broadway's Cort Theatre along with Phylicia Rashad's daughter, Condola Rashad.
In "Guess Who's," he will star as Dr. John Prentice, with Phylicia Rashad portraying his mother, Mary Prentice. The roles were played by Sidney Poitier and Beah Richards, respectively, in the 1967 film directed by Stanley Kramer.
Rashad won a best actress Tony for her work in the 2004 Leon-directed Broadway revival of "A Raisin in the Sun."
In "Magnolias," Phylicia Rashad plays the elegant Clairee (Olympia Dukakis' role in the original), while Condola plays Shelby (Julia Roberts' role in the original). The Lifetime project also stars Queen Latifah as M'Lynn, the role Sally Field played in the original film, Alfre Woodard as Ouiser (Shirley MacClaine's role), Jill Scott as Truvy (Dolly Parton's role), Adepero Oduye as Annelle (Daryl Hannah's) and Afemo Omilami as Drum Eatenton (Tom Skerritt's role).
"Magnolias" has been shooting in the Druid Hills area, near Fernbank Museum of Natural History.

Beautiful Mind star tells of difficult first three months of pregnancy with nausea and cravings
Actress Jennifer Connelly, who announced her pregnancy last month, has revealed she spent most of her first trimester dividing her time between larder and lavatory.
Despite glowing on the US TV programme The Late Show with David Letterman this week, Jennifer Connelly has revealed how the early stages of pregnancy have been anything but easy. "I'm feeling great - now. The first three months were very sketchy," she said. "You know when you're on your cell phone and you have to stand in one spot... it was like that with nausea."
Like other celeb mums-to-be, she also admitted to odd pregnancy cravings and a reluctance to move away from the fridge. "I had to stand in one spot, which happened to be in front of my refrigerator, which was open with me dipping pretzels in cream cheese and stuffing them in my mouth," she joked.
This is Jennifer's third pregnancy and her second baby with her British actor husband, Paul Bettany. If you're suffering morning sickness, check out our top tips for beating the nausea. But take heart! Like Jennifer, your nausea should settle down as you begin your second trimester.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Gordon Gee (gee) isn't fond of the typical definition of his new role as West Virginia University's interim president.
The former Ohio State president understands he'll only be in Morgantown for about six months starting in January before a permanent president is named.
During that span, he plans to roll up his sleeves and get things done, just the way he did three decades ago.
Gee says he doesn't like the word interim, comparing it to the term 'seat warmer.'
Gee was WVU's president from 1981 to 1985. He served two stints as Ohio State's president before retiring last summer after remarks he made jabbing Roman Catholics and Southeastern Conference schools were made public. He was named WVU's interim president on Friday.

Filed under: Recipes
I love being uber prepared on Monday mornings as these are already tough mornings to get moving and off to work at a decent time. One way that I find helps me is to make sure breakfast and lunch are packed the night before. The less I have to think about it, the better it is for me. Breakfast for me must be something I can grab and go. I have too many things going on and 4 other humans to get ready besides myself. Usually I make myself a smoothie of some sort but that can get boring. Last week I stumbled upon the site Emily Bites. The day I discovered her yummy recipe site she featured muffins that spotlighted both bananas and chocolate. I was sold . I decided that these muffins would be a great item to add to my grab and go breakfast menu.
Note about recipe: This recipe was created for the Weight Watcher and healthy eating reader. I modified it a bit to be both gluten and dairy free to meet my dietary needs. The modifications I did make did not effect the outcome of the recipe.
Banana Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal Singles
Emily Bites (Modified to be both Gluten and Dairy Free)
3 cups old-fashioned oats (I used Gluten Free)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
1 egg
1 ¼ cups skim milk (I used coconut milk drink)
¾ c mashed bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1. Preheat the oven to 350. Lightly mist 18 cups in a muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. Combine the oats, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and stir until thoroughly mixed.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites, egg, mashed banana, milk and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until blended together. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Spoon the oatmeal mixture evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Bake uncovered for 18-22 minutes or until oatmeal is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Yields 18 oatmeal singles. WW P+: 3 per single (P+ calculated using the recipe builder on weightwatchers.com)
Nutrition Information per single from myfitnesspal.com: 127 calories, 22g carbs, 4 g fat, 3 g protein, 2 g fiber (when you use this NI it comes out to 4 P+ each, but the WW recipe builder puts them at 3 P+, so use whichever you trust. I count them as 3 because I use the recipe builder and track online)
Do you have a go-to breakfast recipe that you can't live without?

Costa Rica is known for being one of the most environmentally friendly countries in the world and also for being one of the few to have no army (it was abolished in 1949). It is a modern society characterised by relativism and growing apathy towards the spiritual. Around 70% of Costa Ricans adhere to Roman Catholicism, although only around half are practicing; evangelical Christians make up around 15%.
The strong commitment of the ECU board, staff and supporters to a common vision for ministry has helped in recent years to integrate the various groups in different areas of the country.
ECU is aware that there are areas of the country that have not been reached after 31 years of ministry. They see their major challenge as encouraging students to go beyond simply meeting together, to looking outward and engaging more in evangelism and mission.
View from the inside
Edner Porras Rodriguez is General Secretary of ECU. He says of his ministry, 'We have been called by Jesus and it is our privilege to continue to serve in this ministry in spite of daily challenges and being buffeted by constantly changing currents of academic thought - none of which actually produces grace, or the truth of the gospel.'
Edner is grounded in his ministry by two verses: 'Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.' (Proverbs 4:23) and 'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.' (Proverbs 1:7)
Please pray:
- for students to develop commitment to the preaching of the word and to the discipling of other students;
- for ECU groups to be pioneered in new areas.

Oil spill shows difficulty the Coast Guard faces
Friday - 8/13/2010, 12:33pm EDT
The U.S. Coast Guard in recent years has fought international terrorism, defended Iraqi pipelines and patrolled for pirates in the Arabian Sea. Its work in such high-visibility missions accelerated after Sept. 11, 2001, when Congress swept the Coast Guard into the Homeland Security Department. More funding followed. But, the Washington Post reports, the changes had the unintended consequence of lowering the profile of the Coast Guard's vital programs related to oil. "Priorities changed," a 2002 Coast Guard budget report said. Internal and congressional studies highlighted the difficulty the agency faces in balancing its many added responsibilities.

{ LINK: Trans Rights Group Announces Lawsuit Over Refusal to Correct Birth Certificates }
The Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund (TLDEF) will hold a press conference on Tuesday, March 22, at the New York State Supreme Court in lower Manhattan to announce the filing of a lawsuit against the City of New York and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene challenging the city's practice of requiring transgender people to undergo surgery before it will issue them birth certificates with corrected sex designations.
This is the first lawsuit to challenge a surgical requirement for correcting whether someone is classified as "male" or "female" on a birth certificate. It alleges that the city's surgical requirement is arbitrary, and that it subjects transgender people to harassment and discrimination in violation of the New York City Human Rights Law.
WHAT: Press Conference
WHEN: Tuesday, March 22, 11:00 am
WHERE: Foley Square, Manhattan (across the street from the New York County Supreme Court at 60 Centre Street)
WHO: Plaintiffs Sam Berkley, Joann Prinzivalli, and Patricia Harrington; Noah Lewis, Staff Attorney at the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund.
WHY: The vast majority of transgender people have not undergone the extensive surgical procedures demanded by the City before it will change the sex designation on birth certificates. Most cannot afford these procedures, and for many, they are medically inappropriate. "A birth certificate is a fundamental form of identification," said Noah Lewis, staff attorney at the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund, which is representing the plaintiffs. "By refusing to give transgender people accurate birth certificates that reflect who they are, the city subjects transgender people to harassment and discrimination in areas like employment where ID is essential to proving eligibility to work." "Proper ID is essential for full participation in society," added Mr. Lewis. "As long as the city discriminates against transgender people by denying them accurate ID, transgender people will continue to be pushed to the margins of society."
The above press release from TLDEF is interesting not only because of the novelty of the grounds for the lawsuit, but also because it follows on an effort a few years ago to address this via a commission of experts organized by the city. The experts decided, based on the available scientific evidence, to permit the change in birth certificates prior to any surgery. The City was set to put this procedure into place.
When the press got hold of this, and started yammering about "men in dresses", however, the pressure came down on the New York City Board of Health, which unanimously voted to reject the recommendations of their own experts, and the whole report was put in the garbage can.
I think this is one more instance of the maxim that human rights should never be put up for a vote. Don't you agree?
Because men in suits know more than men in lab coats.
Go unfuck all of yourselves.

Ryan Adams - Lucky Now single cover. Photo by Vivienne Gucwa (me!)
Blizzard in the East Village, New York City.
I have some incredible news to share. I was contacted by Ryan Adam's independent music label a couple of months ago regarding commercial usage of one of my photos from this past winter for the cover of Ryan Adam's latest single called "Lucky Now" (shown here in this post). I happily agreed!
The single is off Ryan Adam's upcoming album called "Ashes & Fire". You can view the cover to the single with my photo on it as well as listen to the single on Ryan Adam's official Facebook page here:
It's impossible to articulate how over the moon I am about this! I am extremely grateful to Ryan Adams for using my photo for this particular single.
The photo is special to me because it was taken during the peak of a very rough blizzard last winter which I ventured out in specifically with the intent of capturing my neighborhood wrapped in the embrace of a beautiful storm. The blizzard produced wind gusts of 55+ mph and ended up blanketing New York City in 20 inches of snow. It was taken in the East Village on one of my favorite streets in the winter. I love winter storms down here on the Lower East Side. It's nearly impossible to keep me inside when the world is transformed into a wild snow-globe. There is nothing quite like New York City covered in freshly fallen snow.
I have created an album over at my Google Plus profile which shows the original photo along with the album cover (shown in this post):

M.I.A. by Ryan Mcginley
New York Times
Apparently she was so pissed after reading the final draft of the interview, that she tweeted the interviewer's phone number. I still have not read it, but the photos are sick! How's the one where she's on the swing over the city?!
don't it always seem to go
that you don't know what you've got
till it's gone.
you know she wrote this song about HI?
This is my attempt at trying to figure out LOST. I talk about the series finale, so if you have not seen it yet, I don't recommend reading.
For two and a half hours I was glued to my computer screen (being in Korea, with no television, I have to stream it) entranced by the amazing creativity of writers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. LOST is by far the best television series I have watched in my life. It's funny because when I first heard about it back in 2004, I thought the concept of it was ridiculous, I mean, how can you make a show about plane crash survivors on an island? Wouldn't you run out of story lines? I thought, this is going to be another Gilligan's Island. Boy was I wrong. I remember clearly, I did not watch the debut, but I caught a repeat two days after the initial running of the pilot episode. I was hooked.
So, six years later, here I am, in Korea, trying to decipher the meaning of LOST. Or is it the meaning of life? There are so many elements in this tv show, that you can't pinpoint one specific thing. From religion to love, it's a message for all.
The entire sixth season, instead of flashforwards, and flashbacks, we had flashsideways, where the characters were living in a universe where the plane did not crash. Initially I thought that this "alternate" universe was real, and in fact this was reality, but as I found out in the finale, it was not. I was very unhappy to find that out. I was hoping that the characters would not be stuck in purgatory, which in fact they were. So where does that leave the characters on the island? Well, from what I was able to gather, the universe on the island is the REAL time, so that's real life. In the sideways universe, they were all already dead. They just did not know it. They needed someone to help them find out the truth, and guide them to heaven. That is why Ben did not go into the church, because I think he feels he does not deserve to go to heaven. I think that this sideways universe is taking place many many years in the future, when all of the characters are already long dead. The finale showed that no matter what, you have free will. The choices you make are the foundations for your path in life. I do personally do not believe in destiny. I stand firm that everything in life is made of choices, from the person you love and marry, to how you die. Lost helped me realize that even more. It also showed that true love can cross many boundaries, including time and space.
I was very surprised to see so many religious symbolism also. The whole Shepard thing just kind of got out of hand. It was cool however, to see all the different religious symbols when jack and his father were talking by the coffin. what do you think the writers were trying to say by showing us that? I would like to say that the writers were trying to say that religion is confusing. there are so many different religions on the world. I honestly believe that what this entire show comes down to is FREE WILL vs. DESTINY. I personally believe in freewill, just like jack did. do you think that jack's destiny was to do everything that he did? Or did his actions create this path that lead to everything that happened? I would like to say that he chose his own path.
It's been only a day after I watched the finale, but it is still embedded in my mind, and I am still trying to figure it out. That is the genius of LOST.
these are from a while back, but they're so sick
i'm always torn with this.
it's a great film, excellent book. the images written by christopher mccandless and captured by sean penn are beautiful.
but i can't help feel irritated with these kind of people. they come from upper middle class families with money, and have great educations, but feel so unhappy with their lives they throw it all away to try and give that act of rebellion. i never can understand that. i've run into so many people like that on the road, who you can tell don't take showers because they think it's "the cool thing" to do. but they have a 200.00$ NorthFace backpack. or try to put dreads in their hair because it fits the stereotype, but flew first class. they say they have no money, but you know that they have their parents credit card or are digging into their trust funds. i get so frustrated with that. what do you think?
LOCAL NATIVES (thanks to my friend brooke)
dude. 2 more eps.
what the fuckkkkkk!??!?!
just watch it.
This past weekend I went to the city of Gwangju. It's a pretty big city, and has a one-line subway. I had been getting sick of staying only in my province, and to be honest, I do not have an urge to go to Seoul. I am over the 4 hour bus ride, and I just don't think it's that great of a city. Like I've said before, most of the big cities here do not have an identity. Gwangju was no exception, but it was nice to get out. I went shopping there, and I still find it so interesting how they have all the fake products, just out and about like it's not illegal. After a day of walking around their downtown, we went to watch IRON MAN 2 at the IMAX. It wasn't anything great.
Last night went to Jeonju and hung out with my friends. The sisters just came back and brought everyone back a few gifts. They brought me back some slipz! Stoked! They told us all about their experience in the PI, and how they have never seen poverty like that before. It's really sad to hear their stories of children begging on the streets of Manila. After dinner, we walked around Keksa, and discussed what we are going to do this weekend for Justin's birthday. Possibly head to Busan! Beach! Stoked!
I just caught the train back from Jeonju.
It's 12am.
My train was delayed.
I have a headache.
And tired.
I dont know why I'm online.
One day you will be lucky enough to see the world, and experience new cultures, and you will know what it is like to not be able to communicate with someone. Coming from a huge tourist destination, I have had my share of laughs at distraught tourists and foreigners. I've learned that as a "host" to those people who are there to learn about our amazing culture it is our duty to treat them with respect. Be patient if they are at least trying to learn the language. There's no point in yelling at them if they do not understand you in English —- it's not their fault.
Ignorance is a terrible trait.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes, because one day, sooner or later, you will know exactly what I am talking about.
Living in a place where seasons change, and you have to dress according to the weather, I have a new outlook on fashion and how to wear clothes. Living in Hawaii, it was so easy to just put on trunks and walk out the door. Or just a t-shirt, shorts and slipz. Plus, everybody here in this country is so materialistic, and vain, it's hard not to be inspired. I occasionally would read GQ Magazine in Hawaii, but now more than ever, it actually makes sense.
I also have to present myself in a semi-formal manner when I go to work, and I never had to do that before.
But on a different note, I still have to learn how to eat more cleaner when I am wearing a white dress shirt and tie.
Taking a rather aesthetically appeasing approach to camera design, Samsung introduces a white bodied, limited edition version of its NX10 camera. With a compact body and interchangeable lens, the NX10 combines the benefits of a digital SLR in a pocket sized camera. As part of the limited edition package the Silas inspired model will include a 30mm pancake lens and a leather case. Launching May 7th the NX10 will be available in Korea, Netherlands, China, Taiwan, and the US.
my 1st gen. iPod Touch, that was purchased before released to the public
is missing in Jeonju, South Korea.
most likely gone, never to be seen again.
This past week, my boss paid for my coworkers and me to go on a trip to Jeju Island. Jeju Island is off the southern coast of Korea, and is considered the Hawaii of Asia. Lots of people go there for the warm weather, and to get away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. There are two ways of getting to Jeju, by plane or by boat. Our boss bought the boat tickets. So we left early Tuesday morning, rode a bus for 3 hours, and then we took a boat for 4 hours to Jeju. It was so windy and the water was super choppy, but I took some meds and I was able to pass out for most of the trip.
I extended my trip, got a hostel and explored some more. Had a blast. Here are some photos. If you want a more extensive detail of my trip, e-mail me and I will be glad to forward you an e-mail. Aloha.

Wednesday, January 18th
I drive through Nassau Bay everyday and cross over a bridge. At the base of the bridge is the sign where I took a picture of the hawk on day #4. Today I decided to stop on the way home and check out what was under the bridge since I had never been there.
I really like this beaten up log that was hidden a bit in the grass.
Here's a shot of the waterway from the dock. I like how the sun was sparkling on the water…it looks like stars.
I really like this driftwood log with the grass growing out of it. It would have been my picture of the day except that beer can at the top of the picture is kind of tacky.
Tie your boat up here! I showed this pic to my dad and he asked what that was on top (the brown stuff)…um, that's the water!
Next to the dock is a ton of trash mixed in with grass and cane. Gross!
Yep, that's a lot of junk.
And finally a pic of under the bridge at low tide.
Until later, happy picture taking!

Getting To Know... Beatrice Capra
Published September 04, 2010 12:00
NEW YORK, NY, USA - Oh, what a fortnight: In the space of two weeks, 18-year-old Beatrice Capra has gone from losing in the round of 16 at the USTA Girls' 18s National Championships, to winning the USTA's play-off for a wild card into the US Open - where she has duly posted her first Tour-level wins, over Karolina Sprem and No.18 seed Aravane Rezai. The reward for the world No.371 is a third round date on Saturday with three-time Grand Slam champion and former No.1, Maria Sharapova.
We caught up with Beatrice ahead of the big match on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
How do you feel about the prospect of playing Sharapova?
BC: I'm really excited. I think to play on Arthur Ashe will be amazing and to play against one of the best players in the world is just going to be a great opportunity. I know she's just such a tough competitor. When I was younger I used to always look up to her, and so I think it will be a really good match for me to see where I am compared to that kind of level.
Are you drawing inspiration from last year's run by Melanie Oudin - who beat Sharapova in the third round?
BS: I really look up to Melanie. I watched all of her matches last year, and I was just so happy for her. You know, it was really inspiring to me because I played her a year before, and then she was getting to the quarters of a Grand Slam. It was just unbelievable, and I was so happy for her. I think she's pushed all of the Americans to do better. I mean, for sure I talk to Melanie a lot, and I will for sure ask anything about Sharapova.
How did you get started in tennis?
BC: My mother was a college player for South Florida and introduced me to the sport when I was eight. Both my parents play tennis recreationally now, but my sister Pia plays field hockey.
Tell us more about your family.
BC: My father, Giovani, is from Monza in Italy. He came over to start his business in America, which is called the Tenax Corporation. It's an Italian company, so he started it in America. While he was there in Maryland, my mom, Laurie, was giving tennis lessons. He wanted to take tennis lessons, so they met up... and here I am.
Do you speak Italian?
BC: I go to Monza a few times a year and I understand it, but I don't speak any. I mean, I'm learning, so hopefully by the end of the year I'll be good.
Who were your tennis idols when you were growing up?
BC: Serena Williams and Kim Clijsters.
What's your coaching situation?
BC: I grew up in Ellicott City, Maryland and I started out at the Tennis Center of College Park, which is now a USTA National facility. Nowadays I train at the Evert Academy. I've been talking to Chris Evert on the phone, yesterday and the day before. She's really helped me a lot.
How do you describe your game?
BC: It's an all-round game. I like to think that I'm mentally tough, and I'll always stay in the match until the end.
What sort of off-court training do you do?
BC: As well as strength and conditioning training I do yoga.
Aside from this week, what has been your best tennis moment to date?
BC: Winning the Italian Open juniors, and playing juniors on Louis Armstrong Stadium. But winning today over Rezai was probably one of the best moments of my life. This whole experience has been unreal, and I'm so happy that I was able to go to the player party and be a part of this.
If you could steal a shot from another player, what would it be?
BC: Probably the 'betweener' of Roger Federer.
Favorite surface?
BC: Clay.
How far did you go in your schooling?
BC: I attended Laurel Springs Online School but now I'm having a year off, to see how my tennis goes. I'm always going to keep college an option - I mean, unless I win this tournament, which is a little extreme for now! I'm looking at Duke right now mostly, and just having that backup, you know. I really want to have an education, as well.
If not a tennis player…
BC: I'd have been a journalist.
What non-tennis skill do you wish you had?
BC: I don't sing at all, so that would be really cool. Or I'd like to be able to draw.
If you had to describe yourself in one word…
BC: Competitive.
What do you like to do to relax?
BC: I like to read, and hang out with friends.
If you could meet anyone in the world, who would it be?
BC: Probably President Obama.
What is your most treasured possession?
BC: My phone. And I always carry around a diary. Before every match I'll write down my goals, or afterwards what I thought about a match. I read through it for inspiration.
If you were stranded on a desert island with only one luxury, what would you want it to be?
BC: A bed.
