My friend Leah has a fabulous blog of fabulous stories, ones that I am pretty sure most of you will absolutely adore. I couldn't give a stronger recommendation. This post is a hands-down favorite involving grape picking, semi-nudity and Mennonites.
For your entertainment I present Confessions of a Homecoming Queen.

Hamster Wheel
I've been feeling really impersonal lately in the blogging world. And it's a strange world, isn't it?
Often I treat this little slice of virtual real estate as a diary of sorts and the concept that people I know to varying degrees and even those I don't know read it is very often forgotten. I'll vomit up an idea or personal truth and then forget about it, but then I go back and look at previous posts and I'm astounded that I put that out there.
I've had the same email address for ten years now; Yahoo has been a constant and a good friend since the spring of '98. I never clean out my inbox/outbox and so I can go back and read emails I wrote in the earnestness of a 17 year old or the rebellion of a 19 year old and be shocked at how some things haven't changed at all, just the names and the places are different.
Today that sort of breaks my heart.

Go Sho'ty
Today is my blog's 5th birthday. Happy birthday, blog. I'm gonna buy you a pony.
And by pony I mean those tiny bottles of Rolling Rock beer.
Way to exist before blogs were cool!
Way to document the past five years exclusively through my eyes!
Way to survive something like 5 name changes!
Way to only post 34 times in all of 2003! That was a good year to skip!
Remember that fun weekend we had, blog? Of course you do, you have documented it for me!
You sure do deserve that pony, blog.
Or at the very least, a silly hat.
