My Life

I'm starting out on a voyage,
With heart full and head held high,
To sail the ocean, whether calm or rough,
Out under heaven's blue sky.
The voyage will be long and weary, I know,
But I hope many bright stars will appear.
So I'll sail my ship through calm or strife
With scarce a thought of fear.
I'll stay not here in this quiet place,
Where small ripples blow gently by,
But out on the deep, on the stormy sea,
There, out there, will be I.

Have You Ever Been LOST?

When I was little I often got lost in a store while shopping with my mom. I would stop to look for something, just for a second...or perhaps a little longer than a second, because the next thing I knew I couldn't see her anywhere. Talk about panic! Okay, okay...

that may or may not still happen...
but I'm trying to be better about it. Honest!

However, that's not the kind of lost I really want to talk about right now.
I want to talk about this:


LOST
Okay, so a few years ago, my sister Lynnett kept talking about an amazing show called "Lost". I, for some unknown reason, had this concept in my head that it was another reality TV show very similar to "The Amazing Race". Because I think those shows, for the most part, are ridiculous, I didn't think much about it.

UNTIL NOW

Question:
What do you do when you when you are stuck in a house for days on end because of the snow? (See previous post).

Answer:
You end up going crazy!

My "crazy" came in the form of Jack, Kate, Hurley, John Lock, and Sawyer, among others (not to be confused with The Others). I have successfully watched the entire Season 1 in three days. Yep...you read that correctly. All 24 episodes in THREE days. We watched 16 of them on day 1. Sick, I know.

I just finished Season 1 tonight, and am very glad that I have access to Season 2. Or am I?

My roommate Leanna gave me a challenge tonight:

Watch all the seasons and catch up to Season 5
before the end of this season.


Now, I realize that I haven't had much of a social life since being back from Christmas Break. I love my roommates, and hanging out with them and their boyfriends is...fun...

So, three questions seem to be in order here:

1) Is there any way that LOST can help my social life?

if the answer to that is "no"

2) Should I give it up in search of a life?

if the answer to that is "yes"

3) Will I do what I should?

Probably not! I think I'm just going to go get

I'm so glad that you have finally jumped on the LOST train. Sorry that you were stuck in your house, though. But your pictures of the snow really are beautiful. Enjoy being "LOST." Miss your face!

LOST is such a great show! Although I got behind and never caught up...
ps, that snow is totally crazy! Glad you are doing ok, have power, and have a few days off. Maybe you should come visit me and enjoy the 75 degree weather we have today...hehe :). (except that the idea of flying from LA direct to Boston, JFK, or DC still, 8 years later, freaks me out. Is that weird?)
