Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Allyson, that's so cool! Your sales will jump.
I was only spanked once. It was more humiliating than painful. My grandma goaded my mom into doing it. I had disappeared myself, went to a friend's house without telling anyone. I was 6 or 7. I hadn't known it was wrong and I would've never done it again anyway. I was so righteously indignant afterwards that my mother apologized and no one ever hit me again. The guilt thing worked until I was about 15, then I figured out it was just manipulation.
My sister and I both talk in our sleep. Apparently, it's hilarious.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Apparently I sleep-walked as late as high school (which I only learned on vacation with a friend and her family), but I don't know if I've done it since. Mostly there's no one to tell me if I'm doing it!

One thing I remember being intensely resentful about as a child is when I was punished because a parental unit was pissed off, rather than because what I did was so awful. Especially because it was plentifully evident that my brothers were given tons more leeway than I was.

Happy Birthday CaBil!
I came across this video and it immediately made me think of the Buffista board. Probably has been posted before.

Have scheduled interview for Thursday afternoon. Will make up some reason to leave early.
What should I do to prepare?!

Happy Birthday, CaBil!
I used to sleepwalk, but it was apparently to do completely ordinary things like go to the bathroom or come sit in the den and "watch" TV for a bit with my dad. No weird dreams or speaking, and if my parents told me to go back to bed I would.

My 5 year old had a sleepwalking episode about a week ago. He wandered over to the bathroom, wandered around the hallway and then peed on the floor. It was the only time he's done something like that.
