morganmania. It is a collection editorials that I have written during my time on the ETSU newspaper staff.
So add me if you would like to read the articles. I will be posting about once a week. For those of you on facebook you are just stuck reading. There is no escape. For those of you who would like to use the RSS feed, it can be found here:

Sandy asks paul out ...
Paul confronts Sandy ...
Paul says "I dont think it'd be fair to my ex to date anyone right now (insert some other random excuse)"
Therefore this says to Sandy (and similar females who are so inclined to be delusional)...
"I like you ... but I can't date you now ... but maybe when
* Make 15 xeroxes
* Burn a CD
* Open a box (yes, swear, went something like this "hey morgan- can you open this box for me?" like they had it waiting for me or something ... it was hard -- it had tape on it and everything ... what would they have done without me, that box would have sat on their desk all day)
Makes me feel so important that I am around for these ppl to do these difficult tasks. But hey, at least it wasn't as exciting as it normally is. Usually I am asked to scan entire books. Yes, individually scan each page of entire book.
I am so important. Wow.

It just feel such a sense of newness in the air. I feel like I can conquer anything. I have met so many new people lately- and are developing new friendships. I feel like this is what I should have been doing in college all along- but have been distracted. I feel like I am finding myself, I am listening to new music as well- which somehow seems to have a big impact on me. It soothes me so much.
Newspaper is going great- and I am getting compliments about my articles. There is no greater feeling in this world than to know people read what you write. Words are so strong. I even learned that one of the computer science profesors that I didn't even know lectured on my article the other night. :)
My parents are trying to adopt. I will post more info about this at a later date (since nothing is official yet- I am not even sure if the kids know this is what is going on). They are great though- I was so worried that I wouldn't know how to handle little kids again (ages 5 and 7), but I quickly learned that the kids do not judge you- they just want a little love and attention. They are great. And so sweet. My parents keep asking if I am jealous. And I must say, the only thing that bothers me at all is trying to tell a story- or talk on the phone- b/c everything is so busy on the other end. But I am honestly so happy for my parents, and for my little sister Alaina- to be able to experience what it is like to be a big sister for a while.
My world is constantly changing. I am continually amazed when I stop to take a look around. A year ago, I was brand new here! Knew almost no one. Didn't know where anything was, or who to hang out with. And now, I am having the time of my life. I honestly am. My biggest challenge now is trying to fit this new lifestyle in with the homeowrk and 32 hrs of work I do every week (yes, I know, I didn't realize I worked that much til I did the math yesterday).
I am so excited about things to come- and know that it is only going to get better.

I should have done this a long time ago. So this is several weeks behind. But in mid July I had the honor and priveledge of traveling to Virginia Beach with Paula and Gina to dig a large hole in the sand. Needless to say, from the photos that you are about to view, our journey was successful. We also ate out a lot, blacklight 3D mini golfed, and swam a lot. But obviously the hole was the main attraction. For pics see my facebook album: Morgan digs a bit hole at the beach. |

So I have been babysitting Lee's male beta fish Oscar since he has been in boston. Placed oscar right beside Betsy's female beta, Cletus (click for pic- that is Oscar in the background). Past couple of days, I have been noticing a bunch of small foam like looking bubbles at the top of Oscar's bowl- I have NEVER seen this sort of thing in Oscar's bowl before- so of course my first thought is: "OMIGOSH THERE IS SOMETHING WEIRD IN OSCARS BOWL HE MUST BE DIEING I AM KILLING OSCAR!!"Called Lee- he had never seen it either. Finally looked it up online. Apparently, actually blow these bubbles when they are extremly happy and healthy.... and well, ready to mate. hahah.
There were actually a TON more than in the picture-but when dad came to visit this afternoon he popped a bunch of em- poor oscar- going to have to start blowing more bubbles...
You can read up on these... as I am calling them, love bubbles, here.
So basically, all week I have been thinking I was killing the stupid fish- and the entire time the fish was just blowing bubbles. Probably thinks Cletus is cute. :-P
Welp, off to Washington DC tommorow. :) No computer for 5 days- ahhhh!
Wow, you're a busy bee, aren't you? You've had your share of excitement in life, what with the occasional car chase and maybe a time bomb or two. Or maybe you're the cornerstone of a dozen love triangles, you dog you. And one things for sure, you've avoided sports-playing animals like the plague, and for that I must commend you. As always, there's room for even more excitement in your life. Try adding a few more movie cliches to your daily routine. Introduce yourself with your last name first. Think deeply while riding on the subway, just in time for a wise old woman to tell you the exact thing you need to hear at the exact moment. And don't forget to break out into song at the slightest provocation; that'll impress the critics greatly.

I did a ton of research this morning, about people on medication for it and such things, talking about if you have these symptoms you should speak with your doctor about it: talking about how if you are constantly late b/c you are distracted by things (check), have trouble memorizing a lot of stuff (check), have trouble concentrating on large conversations (definitly check), have trouble memorizing this list of symptoms (check), have strange amount of energy (check), has difficulty starting a seeminly tedious task (check) and have to be constantly reminded about appts (check).
So what exactly does the medication do for you? Help you concentrate, help you remember things, calm you down? I am not sure that I would want a medicine tinkering with my mind like that.
I am pretty sure I have/had/whatever ADHD- as a child definitly, and probably now- my mind is always racing- and I definitly have all those "symptoms". But would I really want to be on medication?
It is said that people with ADHD are highly energetic and creative. Why would you treat that? It is also said in many places that ppl with ADHD are "just as smart" as people without it. No freaking duh. I think they are even smarter. - just give em a way to harness that energy. But perhaps this is what meds do? I dunno. Doubt it some how. Probably just calms you down. I mean, I am generally energetic from the time I get up to the time I go to bed. And the figetting probably keeps me thin. And the energy makes me ready for anything.
But then again if this miracle pill makes ya remember stuff - sign me up.
This probably seems like a very strange rant. But I swear, I am curious to see if I can get a sample of this "medication" just to see how it affects me. Maybe we shouldn;t be trying to medicate this problem at all. Maybe we should just be teaching kids and adults to harness this thing - like their secret weapon... and who knows that could be accomplished with that much energy and creativity.

gotscoliosis because I was skeptical- and so was she about continually getting check ups- we did not think that her small curve would ever amount to anything. They warned us that siblings of scoliosis patients are much more likely to also have severe scoliosis. We ignored it- and probably shouldn't have. :-/At least we know what to expect from here-
| You Have Your Sarcastic Moments |
 While you're not sarcastic at all times, you definitely have a cynical edge. In your opinion, not all people are annoying. Some are dead! And although you do have your genuine moments, you can't help getting your zingers in. Some people might be a little hurt by your sarcasm, but it's more likely they think you're hilarious. |
Welp, changed my mind, decided to have one more fantabulous day of summer before the big grand beach one. Basically just b/c I am lazy and have not yet gotten around to photoshopping 150+ pictures. Instead, I thought I would just upload these three and brag about my brand new fantabulously short haircut. Weee. Takes about 5 minutes if that- drying n all. (ok, maybe like 10 minutes if it is dripping wet but still.. weee). For pics see my facebook album: Morgan Gets a Haircut |
Summer school is over, I am back from vacation- and so, you know what time it is, it is time for the BELATED MORGAN'S FANTABULOUS DAY OF SUMMER: INSTALLMENT 3! Here we go. Lee got the random idea in his head a few weeks ago to go on a small hike with a couple of friends. And of course, being the equally random person that I am, after making everyone vow that said hike would be no longer than a couple of miles, I hopped aboard. But of course, as we approached our destination, Roan Mountain (very pretty btw- covered with rhododendrens), it started to pour down rain. Naturally. Yet we carried on. And on. And got pretty darn wet. In fact I couldn't even really take the camera with me on the actual hike for fear of water damage. That was tragic in itself. After probably not even a 1/5 of a miles of some stupidly small amount of walk, the thunder and lightning started getting to us and we decided that a rhododendren & tree covered mountain was not the best place to be and headed back down. When we got back to the jeep we got the camera back out for one last ride. Lee supervised me making sure that I was not plucking the rhododendrens off of the plants but instead picking them up off the ground for the photo shoot (the prior is technically illegal). We got a few last photos, packed up, and pretty much called it a day. PS: we did stop at a dam on the way back just for kicks. - And then a Mexican restaurant- so no total loss - w00t! PSS: Stay tuned for the my next installment which will talk about my week at the beach digging grave sized holes in the sand. For pics see my facebook album: Morgan Climbs a Wet Rock. |
