1. Hmmm, I'm considering tweeting under my actual name. I already am, actually, but just created a tweeter identity under "EpiphanyinBalto" that I thought I'd tweet from more often and connect to this blog. I'm still thinking about it. I have over 100 followers on the my name. It's this "sort of anonymous" goal I guess I'm worried about.
2. I'm buying my dad's 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix. It's not exactly what I wanted, but it's a nice car that should be reliable for several years. I loved my current Pontiac; it was the best car I ever owned. And dad's giving me a great deal, one that I would be financially foolish to eschew. I'm going to be spending about $5000 less than I would if I bought it at a dealer, so I should be able to pay it off quickly. I was approved for 7.74% interest through my credit union. Not very good, but okay for my just-above-average credit in this economy; and I'm going to love not having to worry about it in the summers (they spread the payments across 10 months, not 12).

I'm so glad the picture has changed. Charlie Brown and baseball is a cheerful image. The elephant seemed like a negative reference to weight. The new image bodes well for a good 2010.
Awww, Horton wasn't about weight. I had a friend once who said I reminded him of the animated character, and it made sense (from wikipedia): "Horton is a kind, sweet-natured elephant who cares about other animals or people. Though he goes through many hardships, whether trying to keep an egg warm through storms, rough travels, and humiliating shows, or tries to save a small planet from harm, he always triumphs; the egg hatches into an elephant-bird, while the planet is saved and respected by the others. He is very popular because of his big heart and respectful compassion, which makes him more humorous."
That's me. I liked the image of him going out on the tight-rope, too - you know, taking a risk.
You thinking it was a reference to my weight just makes me feel fat. :) (Don't worry, that's a joke.)
I really like Horton.
I'm glad you like the new Charlie Brown pic, though. I do too!
Never ever thought the Horton picture was about weight, never even considered it. I always thought that the perfect caption for that picture wouldve been - "Go on, you can do it!"
Something along the lines of, you can acieve what you put your mind to.
Different lives, different views hmm?
