Have you ever known something intellectually, but not really known it? The realization hadn't yet come to you? I think most people have this experience at least once in their lives. Tonight, I realized that I am intelligent. (Everyone that knows me is saying "no shit"). I dunno. Everyone has been telling me "you're smart, Laurie!" my whole life, but that didn't really mean anything to me. It's just like how my grandmother has been telling me that I'm pretty my whole life. Of course she says that, she's my grandma. People often tell people things based on either a) subjective opinion or b) just because society says to say such things.
Unrelated: I hate it when married women hyphenate their last names. Either take your husband's name, or don't. Hyphenating is stupid.
Having Brooks home for an entire week was fantastic. I really miss getting to see him on a regular basis. I will be remedying that in the nearish future. Favourite quote: "We kick so much ass!" My twenty-second birthday was great, as far as birthdays go. I never really care to celebrate my own overmuch. But! I'm not above using "but it's my birthday!" card on Brooks ;) My uncle got me a colour personality test; I'm looking forward to forcing everyone I know to take it! :)
I just took a silly online quiz, and it says "Woman, you're one hell of a ride!". I used to be so docile.
