I love this picture. That's me on the left. The girl on the right was a friend I met in college named Jenny Lee. I'm feeling a little low, so I think I'll make this post dedicated to me. Since I crave your acceptance, if you would leave a comment, I'd be so appreciative!
Little known facts about Tassie:

I enjoyed reading this :-) Cockroach dander? Who knew? Wrapping your neck in sheets is funny, it's a good thing you didn't strangle yourself! I used to never let my feet dangle off the bed cause I thought someone(thing) under my bed might grab them and I was safe as long as my feet were under the covers.
Good list! We've never met, but my sister loves you!
Sweet pic. I can't believe you didn't post something about those acid-washed high-waisted beauties you're sporting. That Jenny Lee chick WISHES she had those. She's probably wearing Wranglers.
wow, I actually learned several things that I did not know about you. and you would be one of the students that gets on my nerves SO BAD for having to sharpen your pencil every 2 minutes. I also share your love of reeses...but NOT fritos and buttermilk. that is disgusting. I did not know you had been to 49 states. I'm jealous of that! and I'm jealous that you're a good dancer!
You should post a pic of those feet of yours--not everybody can claim to have nice-looking tootsies. I'd like to know more about the snack idea--do you dip the Fritos in the buttermilk? How about cornbread--ever crumble that into a cold glass of buttermilk? Yummo. I'm with you on watching the MTD parades on TV--I had a terrace on CPW but stayed inside to watch the parade.
Haha, I love the title of this post! I got cat scratch fever in college. It was terrible - the Student Health Center referred me to an ENT cancer specialist. Scared the poop out of me. I never got any lymph nodes taken out, though. Just really scared for one day. The ENT guy knew immediately what it was. Anyway, love the blog!
I know something about Tassie that very few (if any) other people know...one of her favorite songs is "Buffalo Stance" by Neneh Cherry. I'm one of the lucky few to have actually heard her sing one of the lines from the song ("Wind on my face, sound in my ears") while the wind was actually blowing on her face (from an open car window). It was Summer. 1989. Never will forget it. SM
