Five years ago, I was eleven, so I didn't have much of a social life. I would stay home and either do my 5th-grade homework or do stuff with my family. Now, I'll go out with my friends and/or boyfriend, go see a show... or sleep. Or do my 10th-grade homework. Which is unfortunately exponetially harder than 5th-grade.

Eliot Spitzer was headed out of office, one way or the other. If he hadn't resigned, he would have been impeached. At least now he leaves with a shred of dignity, since he did it himself, instead of people doing for him. I really have no idea what he was thinking: "Gee, as Attorney General, I prosecuted prostiution rings, but since now that I'm governor, well, it's OK." Because that makes sense....

A ring that my mother gave me for my 13th birthday. It's silver and has a mother of pearl in the center. I've worn it everyday since I got it, but the band is getting thin and one day it will break.
