城堡, 湖水和风笛 苏格兰之行印象最深的是古城堡的庄严和尼斯湖的壮美. 现代人用一辈子来追名逐利, 想千古流 ‘名’, 比较轻飘. 古代的王室明知死后并不能把石头砌成的巨型城堡带入棺材, 还会用几代人的权力地位和财富打造出自己心中美丽的城堡留给后人, 千古流 ‘城’. 这种追求比较厚重实在一些. 爱丁堡城堡和斯得灵城堡确实能勾住全球游客的魂. 因为大家都惦着查尔斯N世没准会突有兴致邀自己喝上一杯咖啡. 若瞥见安公主跟仆人儿子幽会的场面, 那也算没白来一趟.
观完城堡我们走进王子大道的地下过去穷人居住的多层地窖, 那才真叫暗无天日的旧社会. 穷人到城里闯世界不得不选择在肮脏污秽的街道旁挣命, 在狭窄无光的洞穴里栖息. 石窖里还有上下几重天. 学社会学的人若有机会走在一个个下窖的台阶上就很容易弄明白阶级阶层是咋回事. 当我站在尼斯湖边上极目远望山树云水的尽头, 竟不由自主地产生幻觉, 我们一家跟 ‘水怪’ 共进午餐, 谈当今世界局势, 包括油价飙升和美国经济下滑对世界的影响, 顺便告诉 ‘它’ 北京奥运的消息. ‘它’ 在冰冷的湖水里浸泡万年, 那小脑袋一定十分之清醒, 说不定会给人类提个建议啥的. 尼斯湖水怪是个随时间沉淀下来的 ‘谜’, 人的视力有限, 远距离观看任何东西, 都看不太清楚, 对任何照片有权做无数的猜测和遐想. 信不信由你, 当你远距离地看你自己时, 你都难免会有似曾相识之感. 人类愿意用 ‘怪’ 字来概括自己不了解的东西. 当 ‘怪’ 在水中出没就更增加了 ‘怪’ 的美感, 对 ‘水怪’ 的各种解释借着水的灵性变得更加扑朔迷离. ‘怪’成就了尼斯湖的人气, 大部分人在心理上怕 ‘妖’ 但并不十分讨厌 ‘怪’. 走在王子大道上被一个十几岁的小男孩吸引, 他身着传统服装在街边吹起了苏格兰风笛, 小脸白里透红, 凄厉的笛声很沁人的心, 让阴霾的空气充满苍凉和悲壮. 设想当年的苏格兰勇士站在城堡废墟的顶端朝着一望无际的湖水吹奏这音乐时, 湖中大怪小妖都会被感动, 承认华莱士更刚强, 更有血性. |

about 2 hours ago my dog was hit by a car, and i feel as if it was all my fault for not paying more attention.. Samson(my chiuahua) is now dead because i wasnt responsible enough to keep him out of the street, as he followed a man who was running.. my boyfriend michael was coming around the corner walking back from work and he got samson to stop and turn and go tword the house.. just then an suv turned the corner and samson was still running, the next thing i knew samson was lying dead in the street.. there was no yelp of pain.. he just lay there lifeless in front of me, blood coming from his fragile little body.. i could have prevented it.. My brother and michael got a shovel and got him out of the road and burried him in the back yard.. my mom went and took hot water to the sterrt to wash away the blood.. all this happened in front of me as i cryed in hysterics as to what had just happend.. that is all i can type right now!~ |

Bye, Bye house!!! |

Got my house sold,,, I closed on Friday May 30th. I had a garage sale the weekend before that,,, WOW, all has been crazy. The buyers had a second inspection on the roof and then guess what, they found "more mold" So, we had to credit them 700.00/ BUT we found a really nice brand new house 4 miles outside of Belle so I have been somewhat stressed to get my house sold and have it NOT fall through. We should be able to move in Monday June 9th. Very excited about my new house but LOTS of change. Looking for a new job but so far, no one seems to want to call me for an interview.

ONE YEAR WITH GUILLIAN-BARRE Ron continues to make progress, moving his arms, now legs more! He is working hard daily in physical therapy and occupational therapy to become stronger. Please continue to pray for Ron's strength and continued progress. ONE year ago, he was put on the ventilator for his condition. We are so thankful that he no longer needs it and look forward to this next year having continued progress. |

Got a tour of the AP newsroom courtesy Yaosh - much quieter than you'd expect. Didn't know it was a non-profit - casual laid back atmosphere. Played pool tonight - ugh; lost 5-6.

Hi, everyone here it is now in the winter really with lower temperture.But for me lived in northin China, where it has been cold in the winter, I have already used to lived in cold conditions. So since I have come to Nanjing city of China, I have notbeen weared heavy clothes before the last winter. Today I came to University at noon, for I had got to a lesson to have. but when I hurried to the dorm, my roonmate told me the lesson is cancled. In fact, I also hope so. So I went to bed, because I was very tired. After woke up, I washed my hair and then went to lab. In the evening, one of my classmates trusted me for dinner because she gained fee from invigilating for teachers. So we went to restaurant outside of University and ordered "suan cai yu" and "di san xian". they were tasty. after dinner, we came back the Lab, repectively. She was always happy inthis term, perhaps because she made a boyfriend last term. Everytime I looked her happy smile, I also felt happy as I met my boyfriend first like. I hope that A GOOD MAN WILL HAVE A SWEET DREAM! |

Is my loneliness my fault? I am so tired of being single. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Granted...it hasn't even been a year. But I still think about Connor all the time. I'm supposed to be this mature, strong, independent college student. And I guess I am...in a lot of ways...but I have a long way to go. |

This is probably going to be the last time i write in this thing..everrrrr. Or i hope. I realized a couple days ago what people are all about. You cant call people your best friends just because they are there some times. You cant call them best friends if you know they talk about you behind your back. Well, I am done with one of my "best friends" & honestly, this year couldnt have been more dramatic, thanks to her. I love hanging out with her, and I love how I have met so many more people thanks to her, but its time to really move on from that. While her telling me little life lessons can sometimes help me out, it discourages me more than anything else. No one is perfect and I'm sure we both have realized that by now; we were so fixated on perfecting this friendship for so long, but nothings perfect. Friends fight. The only problem with this friendship was that we fought over stupid things. And, I dont mean to be the girl who blames it on everyone else, but 95% of the time, the fight was not my fault. It was all her. She has been a hypocrit throughout the entire friendship. She told me a long time ago she thought I was changing when i started to smoke weed & drink. What do you know, she started drinking every weekend and eventually smoked weed as well.. Tells me i shouldnt keep things from her, but she keeps so much from me. Says I shouldnt talk about her, she talks so much about me. Tells me this and that, blah blah blah to the point where its eventually come to me that the entire friendship was a lie. It never seemed real from the beginning, and to be honest it feels like she only became friends with me because of Alex. And now that i have no ties to alex anymore, she could care less about this friggin friendship. And im happy to say that I could care less too. I also think that while she was telling me to grow up, she was happy she knew all of my passwords to "destroy" my social life.. good one. Thats basically it. And i dont care what anyone has to say about that

easy now and watching my Sunday shows. Well mamas that

January 22, 2007
Here’s what was transpired over the last 2 weeks in my
efforts to find a house. The offer I made on a very
nice house was not accepted. The lowest price they
would accept was $ 10,000.00 more than I has offered
them. My original offer was already stretching my
budget and I just didn’t know if I wanted to pay
anymore. I agonized for days over this. I decided to
leave this house behind and start looking for something
else. I started looking an older home on the main drag
in Athens. It was a nice house but had some killer
steps going upstairs!!! It was a 3 bedroom home but
only 1 room was actually bedroom size, the other 2 I
thought would make nice walk in closets. I toured the
house twice trying to decide if this was the place for
me. There was also another house for sale by owner in
town. I really did want to go look at it because it
was a fixer upper. My Mom finally convinced me to go
look at it. Well I was pleasantly surprised to find
out is was not that bad of a house. It does need
updating but structurally it was very sound – no
serious problems. After deciding that this house had
some real potential I had to ask the Million Dollar
question – how much???? The lady said that the fair
market value was $ 50,000.00 and tax assessed amount
was $ 42,000.00 (I’m thinking blah blah blah, how much
for the house?) she said they were asking $ 35,000.00
because they realize it needs lots of work. Well,
that’s all I needed to hear and decided this would be a
GREAT house to fix up. I made an offer the next day
and they accepted it in less than 2 hours. I should
close on the house at the end of the month and then I
will begin the project of remodeling it. I am very
excited!!!
Jane
