Sabbatical @ MindSay 
When there's customization of the layout, there is blogging to be done. And it's true!
My sabbatical from mindsay is officially over. Here I am, back, alive, kicking, dilly-dallying, and whatever else it is that I decide to do here. I was talking to Lilly, and she asked me about a hairdye I used in the past, and I was trying to show her before and after pictures, like the color of my hair pre-dye and post-dye, and the picture (of course) is on this blog. I went through my archives trying to find the picture, and I stumbled across some truly wonderful posts, accompanied by some wonderful comments by my wonderful blog friends. And despite the fact that I just created my first lj layout ever, and despite the fact that I have about a kadrillion cool pictures on there, the honest truth is I'd rather have my blog look like shit and get the responses I do here than have it look like a diamond ring and get shit responses. Like no comments. For a whole week. So back I am, and I suppose that's a kind of selfish thing, but there isn't much to be commented on at lj either, since I have only a few friends whose blog entries are actually important to me over there. I'm sure I have missed important parts of everyone's lives, and to be honest, you've missed important parts of mine too, but that's what a sabbatical is about.
Let's start off my return post with a fun list of things I'm doing/have done. First of all, I've decided that I like walnuts after sixteen years of labeling them as "gross" and "tastes like green" (like if green had a color, it would be walnuts). That's what I had for breakfast today, walnuts and thin mints. Healthy. Speaking of health, I'm in a lifetime wellness class at college, and it's really kind of dumb. The professor isn't even going to be there for the second and third weeks of class, but a class requirement is to make a blog on blogger, and while I've always lamented going there due to their horrible community, I absolutely adore their layouts. So now I have an excuse. It's interesting, the noun "teacher" comes from the verb "to teach" and the suffix "-er," commonly used to indicate a person or object that performs the action. Thus, a teacher is a person or object which teaches. But does the noun "professor" come from the verb "to profess," which can sometimes mean to make pretense of or to pretend? Does that mean my professor is a person or object which pretends? Well, I guess the suffix isn't quite right, but whatever. I did about six health assessments (also assigned for my lifetime wellness class) and on the same website, there was a calculator for your frame size, so I said I was 100 pounds and my wrist circumference was 6 inches (I wrapped my hand around my wrist and then measured my hand with a ruler) and it said I had a large frame. Not to be contrary or anything, but you'd think they'd consider that I'm five feet tall before they called me large.
I wish suggested tags would be working. Is it turned off?
