that awkward moment...

...when you realize that every single one of your friends that has taken the quiz you made turned out to be most like YOU. Seriously. This is sad.

And since YOU happened to make the quiz in the first place...

Oh, dear. :P

Well, apparently it's not as accurate as I thought it was. Not that y'all *aren't* like me, it's just 6 people in a row turning up to be most like me is a little...unexpected. :D

So...sorry! ;) Maybe in a couple years I'll make another one that's not so...biased (for lack of a better word :). But you had fun...right? So that's all that matters. :D

of people whose faces go down in history...

Imagine this:

You're 2nd son was just born

You're moving into a new house

And you decide you want a portrait done to remember the whole thing. But no, not of you. Not of your newborn son. Of your wife. (pretend you are a guy for 2 seconds. :P)

Later on you die. But little do you know that this portrait of your wife (named Lisa...imagine that!) would become one of the most famous portraits of all time.

And that people would go down in history contemplating why your wife didn't have eyebrows.

Ok, ok. Yes, you've guessed. We're studying Leonardo da Vinci in history. Oh, yeah...and the Mona Lisa.

Gab and I were cracking up yesterday thinking about the poor Lisa Gherardini who didn't know that this painting of her face would be one of those things that 'everybody' knows about.

Seriously! Think about it.

What if a photographer that took your picture got famous, and all-of-a-sudden your back-to-school pictures are hanging up in people's living rooms across America?

Ok, so it's not exactly the same thing, but you get the point. I kinda feel bad for this lady...whenever they criticize her portrait, people are almost criticizing her.

At least she doesn't have to worry about it.

I just worry about it for her. :P

Anyway...

I got a 400 IM on Saturday. (+ a 200 IM, 200 breast stroke, 100 free, and 100 back).

So PLEASE pray.

And unfortunately I have to worry about it...'cause I'm not Lisa Gherardini, and I'm still alive. :)

P. S. I just realized this is my 100th post...weird...

Her name's Irene...

...she just a Category 1...

...but she's still a hurricane...

...and she's passing VA...

...RIGHT NOW...

It's a little odd, huh? I mean, we don't get hurricanes often and we nearly never get earthquakes, so to have both in the same week is...weird.

We're not getting much damage where we are, fortunately. We just have rain and wind. But still. It's...strange.
