That's right, How is a mantis shrimp like a punching bag? The way it takes a hit.

Pretty good read, especially for mantis shrimp enthusiasts.

Fun Shirts

So I've been a fan of shirt.woot.com for years, and I'm slowly learning about other shirt sites.

cafepress has never really drawn me in, but I check it occasionally in the hopes it will become magically awesome.

my new find, which I've been very happy about:
www.teefury.com

nerdy, cute, fun, artsy
in that order!

hooray!

Neat internet project

very cute images of an old picture of a person, next to a new picture, often the new picture is an attempt to capture the moment shown in the old picture.

Blogs and Vlogs

Lately I've been watching and reading lots of blogs, as part of my attempt to do better with my own content, but partly because it's awesome to read and learn about what other people do and think about.

Happy New Year!

I had a most excellent evening with my friends who I call family to finish the year 2010.

It has been a great year. I have graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Microbiology! I have an amazing home to live in! I have loved and been loved by my family, whose generosity and kind words has never ceased to amaze me! I have my friends, who push me to new heights of awesome; character, creativity, and love! I have a wonderful relationship with Aaron, who I love and cherish so much!

I have a lot to be thankful for. I'm excited to continue to cultivate these great things and amazing people, and to especially sustain myself and those closest to me!
