What?

This is one of those days where I just learn or come across a ton of information, and it's absolutely mind boggling:

1. It may be hard for me to get health insurance, later in life, because my Cerebral Palsy is a "pre-existing" condition. This is a hard thing to hear, especially for a 16 year old with big dreams.

2. There's a website that tells whether it's its a good day for iced coffee, depending on what the weather is like where you live
When I typed in my zip code it said "NO," but I'm hoping that that answer will change in a couple of weeks!

3. One more excitingly strange website is one that helps track lost luggage in interesting ways...
Described here by Real Simple Magazine as:
"If you’ve ever lost a bag to the black hole of airline-checked luggage, you’ll appreciate this Website. The site’s host, Luna Baloo, buys unclaimed luggage at auctions, photographs the contents, and posts the pictures―dirty socks and all. You may not spot your lost stuff, but you’ll sure get a chuckle out of other people’s." -Real Simple Magazine


I have to admit it's fun looking at the pics. of other people's stuff, but if it were my own stuff i think I would have a completely different opinion!

Random Was Its Name-O

Yup, that's exactly what this post is: random! Though I think random is the most entertaining!

Well, today I had to turn in an English essay ("writing assignment") that metaphorically compared myself to something. At first I chose chicken pox, but then i thought ewww and changed to something a lot sweeter the glorious Golden Retriever. I wanted to somehow include something about having Cerebral Palsy so here is how I did it:

"My seemingly biggest physical weakness has surprisingly come as my biggest physical strength. See, as a young pup I developed a limp that kept me from such activities as rough housing around with a ball at the dog park. This limitation that at first brought much sadness has in fact blossomed into much joy. This is because my owner signed me up as a service dog. I really appreciate the opportunity to participate in this experience because of my ability to be empathetic towards both humans and other dogs. I now care for humans at places that are as dear to me as my favorite fire hydrant.
At my first favorite place, where humans look worn and aged, I clutch the newspapers of the residents in my jaws and bring them to their bedsides, in return for a pat on the head and a chuckle. When I visit the place where humans are attached to lots of tubes and machines, I curl up next to them and quietly listen to their problems. They, of course, pretend I am listening because all they know is that I am a dog, but what they do not know is that I listen and sympathize with everything they’re saying."

In other news, topics, things...

Later this week I am planning to write a bio for this blog, but I think I'll start by given my 25 things list via Facebook
