• The Maori Healing Experience Hurts. In a good way. So my Mom heard that the Maori Healers were coming to Gainesville, so she signed me up for a healing session.  She knows I’m always down for the odd experience (I doubt she’d say “down”).  I’ve seen acupuncturists, reiki healers, hypnotherapists, rebirthers, EMDR techs, psychics, Neuro Linguistic Programmers, all kinds of stuff.  I am a […] 10 min read June 12, 2008

So I thought it’d be fun to reminisce about when my life was exciting and juvenile (as opposed to just juvenile).  Here’s a blog I posted almost two years ago to the day (1/21/10?) about an event that […] 8 min read January 17, 2005

  • Announcing Today we went ‘announcing’ at the sororities. Sororities are set up like this: They get together every monday and have dinner, and after dinner people come by and make announcements. That’s not all there is to setting up a sorority of course. If you and like, 4 of your friends have dinner and then let […] 5 min read September 23, 2003
