Scattered thoughts

Hello. I am not tired at all...weird, I know, usually I am so sleepy. But right now I am wired for multiple reasons...
First of all I would like write about my glorious night. So Lauren, Ashley, Elise and I went to the Gavin DeGraw concert, and it was so good. We all had a really good time singing along, dancing, and of course talking a million pictures. It was perfect weather for an outside concert, I love the lending pavillion. He was good live, which is always refreshing to have a good live artist, no disappointments tonight!

I should be doing my math homework, considering how extremely focused I am right now. Wow, some drugs are a Godsend, I swear. Nothing bad though, I promise.
Anyway, to get back on the subject of this wonderful Sunday, I will go back to the morning...
So I woke up, taught a lesson, and went to my grandma's for the rest of the day. My aunt and uncle just drove in from Canada, and are now staying here for good. So it was nice to see them and the rest of the family. We just did the usual, eat, swim and hang out. Which is why I love going over there, it has always been very relaxing. It's a nice break from reality.
Ha, except when my mom got attacked by a swarm of wasps. It's probably a good idea to keep your face away from their nest. And it didn't help that my brother kept bothering them. Everyone is ok though, just incase there were any concerns.

This week is going to suck. I can just say that right now. I work and teach lessons everyday and then there's math and swimming. Boo. I had such a good time tonight that I want every night to be like this. At least I am leaving on Saturday, it's perfect timing, just what I need. Except I did hear that there's been shark attacks in North Carolina... I better keep my eyes peeled. That won't stop me from going out in the ocean! HAHA suckers, can't touch this.
Except when I get bit and my arm gets eaten. I would be very unhappy without my arm. I have been having a lot of dreams about sea creatures. Maybe it's a sign or warning. Hummm....

Anyways, I would like to say a few more things before my attention span goes back it's normal 30 seconds.
First off it was my half birthday yesterday, so now I am a big BIG girl at the stunning age of 19 and 1/2! It was also Andy's b-day, so we went to laser tag with his friend Lynn, and I totally tore it up! Just kidding, I lost. Just like always. O well, I had a good time. Before that I met Chris at Starbucks, which was good. And there was a bird in the store. Which I thought was extremely entertaining. So they just opened the door and it hopped right on outside. It was very cute, perhaps the cutest thing I ever did see. But probably not.
The night before that I went to Ashley's and roasted marshmellows with the girls in her backyard. It was a tasty night. I'm sure I will have picts in the near future.
Other things in Jessica's head:
1. Lauren's b-day is Tues...
2. I do not know why I would schedule myself for 6-7 am lap swim.
3. I need to use my new 24 hour membership more.
4. My parents are annoying me. A lot.
5. I am a shit head.
6. Math quiz Tues.
7. I miss Jen and Katie.
8. My heals are on fire right now.
9. I am cold in my heat box of a house. Finally it is starting to cool down in here.
7. I want to go hiking.
8. I am hungry.
9. I am excited for the pool party at my grandma's!
10. I love my friends!

Well since I sound way too happy right now, I think I am going to go. I don't really have that much more going on. I feel like giving someone a hug. Perferably a strong, sturdy, handsome gentleman... But if there aren't any willing to give me a hug, then most anyone will do.
O! And I want to go to Elitches. And waterworld. Before the end of the summer. Wow, could I type in anymore little pharases? Nice two word sentences.

Ok, before I go I would like to ask myself (and whoever reads this) and few questions:

1. What is the most effective way to eat an Oreo?
2. Is running up and down a flight of 12 stairs three times considered a form of exercise?
3. If I can't spell, can I still teach highschool English?
4. What is more attractive (in either gender): skinny, muscular, larger, or normal? (Yes I realize that is probably the dumbest question ever)
5. Is it possible to go your whole life without ever having any true love?
6. Are red vines really good for you?
7. Can you really get tumors from using your cell phone too much?

Ok, that's all for now. Feel free to answer or ask any other questions you might have in the comments section. I would really like to see some answers, it would help me on this path of life I lead. Thanks for your time. I am going to try to sleep now, although I am still not really tired. Maybe I could try reading...haven't done that in a while, I'll give it a whirl.

Raging bull theory

Once again I am extremely tired, but I deem it necessary as a devoted blogger to write about my undeniably exciting life...

Well, worked again today and instead of doing math homework or teaching a lesson I came home and talked on the phone. Then there was class in which I was extremely antsy as I blew bubbles with my gum, messed around with my water bottle, repeatedly put my sunglasses on and off and doodled thoughts and pictures all over my notes. Obviously I wasn't bored at all. Not one bit. It still boggles my mind how someone can teach math for three hours straight. And it boggles my mind even more that people can sit there and listen that long. I make it usually an hour and a half and after that I might as well not even be there. My teacher kept talking about the raging bull theroy of algebra, as in the answers aren't as hard as one might think so they zoom right by it. I think it would be better if the theory had something to do with algebra making me a raging bull by the end, especially when he drowns on about functions. And now that phrase is stuck in my head. Raging bull. Ha, I'll show you a raging bull.

On another note, I am really sore from lifting this morning. It's so sad because I did really easy stuff but it's been so long since I've lifted anything but either the watering can, a trash bag or my math book, that I'm hurting. It probably didn't help that I was throwing little kids around in the pool today either.

That's another thing I have realized this summer is that I am starting to love kids. I was dreading having to be around them all summer, but now it's almost as if I want to, I surround myself with them. I love making them laugh, and the things they say crack me up. All the kids in my lesson today agreed that I was the best teacher they had ever had. I was very flattered to recieve such a grand compliment from such wonderful members of society. But really, it's nice. They aren't dramatic, and I'm getting pretty good with the threats these days that they usually think twice before whining.

I was going to write about my weekend, but it sorta makes me sick to think about how much I ate and even more sick to think about how much I drank... So we'll go into that when we make a list later of other things I learned this summer.
Here is a quote that was discussed between friends that may give a little insight to the weekend (their intials will be used for their own protection)
AG: How was the rest of you night?
JD: Well I puked and made out with a Mexican named Sanchez
O man. And the army fatigues was a huge hit. I'm glad everyone was so entertained.
Anyway, It was a really good weekend, despite how it looks. I'm not complaining at all, I mean what more could you ask for, I had food, friends, and a good time all together.

Ok, well I am turning in a role of film, so I will have some more picts soon. I cannot beleive I only have one more week until North Carolina. I can't wait to get out of here and just take a week to relax and have nothing to worry about except my tan and which wave I'm going to catch next. I remember when I got to 50 weeks and lost count. And now it's one. Time sure flies.
Ok, time for bed, goodnight.

Slumberland

Well here are the wonderful new picts from last night. Ha, Kristin left me a comment on my last entry that pretty much described what we learned from that night, but I'll be back later to add more detail. Or maybe not, I don't really know if more detail is necessary. Tonight I was going to sleep at the pool since we had the guard party, but I am WAY too tired to sleep on a lawn chair. I will write more later, and I will have more picts from summer events in the near future. Now I am going to bed... ahhh, finally.

Learn something new everyday

I feel like it's been a long time since I've written anything worth while, so even though it's almost one in the morning, I feel it is my duty to write about my oh so exciting life...

It's been one of those tiring and extremely busy weeks and although I wouldn't have changed one thing about it, I am so ready to lay low. Unfortunately that won't be happening for quite a while. I feel like there are nights where I don't really care if I go out or not, and nights where I do want to go out there is nothing going on. And lately I have just not cared one way or the other, and I find myslef somehow going out every night. It's been fun though, nothing like summer, I can say that much.

Well since I don't really feel like explaining everything that I have done, I am going to make a list of the things I have learned from going out or work... or anything I have done this past week:

1. Even though things don't always work out and you can't meet up with everyone at the Hooka bar sometimes sitting in front of your house talking with an old friend is just as good if not better. Everything happens for a reason.

2. Keep old friends and make new ones, because you never know when they're going to meet, and then everyone can go to a fireworks show together!

3. 7-11 does NOT have marshmellows. I can't even beleive it.

4. Drinking margarittas really fast while watching Fantasia is not as relaxing as it sounds.

5. Kids work best with bribes or threats... I find threats are usually an easier way to handle things.

6. Swimming in foggy pools that makes your skin turn blue is probably not a very good idea... I'm going to stear clear of that one for a while.

7. You don't have to answer every questions you are asked.

8. When your kids in lessons start screaming "OH the horror!" Then you know you might have pushed them a little to hard.

9. When your kids in lessons start calling you miss piggy then you know that something has to be wrong with you.

10. Bike riding always sounds fun, and looks fun...but when you get to the hills you wonder why you wanted to do it so badly.

11. One word: Batman *sigh*

12. Hitting golf balls on the driving range is much harder than it looks...but I still don't think golf is a sport.

13. Being DD is should be considered a form of toture...next to sitting in math class for three hours.

14. Roasting marshmellows and sitting in the hot tub, on the other hand should be considered a form of pure relaxation. Now all we have to do is get a movie going out there and we got it made.

15. Trash juice has to be one of the most unplesant and annoying things ever.

16. When going ice blocking pre cautions should be taken...maybe some padding for the butt.

17. Guard parties should not have to be discused by the board members.

18. Eating half a container of icing in one sitting is not the best idea...and it makes you very thirsty.

19. Hitting people while they are driving is not always the best idea, but if it needs to be done, then it needs to be done.

20. Kids need a good cry before they really understand you are boss.

21. I think talking on the cell phone does cause brain problems, so much that listening math class is just not an option.

22. Sometimes we gave it all we got, and even if it didn't work out, we can look back knowing that there was nothing else that could have been done.

Ok, I am so tired, so I am going to bed. Hope that list provided for valuable learning skills. I know I've sure learned a lot this summer!

USA

Happy Fourth of July! I have to say that this has to be one of my favorite holidays, you can't go wrong with bbqs, swimming fireworks and partying! Gotta love it.

I worked all morning until 3:30, but it was barely like work at all since we were in relays and I was the announcer for part of it. So time went by fast and the only real work I did was backwash and fill the cholrine cylinders right before I clocked out. Then I just swam around and now I have to get ready for tonight. I don't really know what's going on--I just heard there were a few parties going on. But I better see some fireworks tonight, that would be pretty lame if we didn't. I will make sure of it.

Couldn't have asked for better weather today, it has been beautiful! It's going to make me miss summer a lot more. Hard to believe that a year ago I was on the beach in Hawaii. Man how time flies. Well I am going to get ready for the festive night! Happy Birthday USA!

I knew it!

You are a drumstick.

Absolutely insane. That is how most would describe you. You aren't afraid to take risks, and enjoy putting yourself in strange situations. Most people hang out with you because of your hilarious sense of humour. You light up any bad situation, and can help all of your friends with their problems, except for your own. Because of this, you enjoy being around people like you. Many shut you out for your very weird, random personality, but honestly, you shouldn't care.

Most compatible with: Guitar, and another drumstick.

other people are drumsticks.

Desert walking

I'm not sick of it, just bored with it. What is "it" you might ask, and I say "it" is my life. I'm not by any means complaining, I am just ready for a change of pace, things are starting to get monotonous and if you know me at all, you would know that I can't stand the same old thing over and over again.

Which is partly why I will be getting a hair cut tomorrow. Wow, what a change. Besides that, same agenda, lessons, work, practice (unless I change my mind and decide to go on a bike ride with Lauren)... Ah, the exciting life I lead. I'm usually too busy, which I think is much better than being too bored, so I'll give it that. What I really need are some hot men to come and take me to the Bahamas where they will fan me with a giant leaf and feed me little cheese cubes and margarittas. Mmmm, now that sounds like a wonderful change of pace.

Well today I worked (and my brother got me really good with the best prank call) and then tonight I had math--not as bad as usual. Except in the last ten minutes when I started rubbing my teeth so they squeeked and Pamela drew a picture of our teacher and we could not stop laughing. Then I came home and chatted with Kristin while I ate like a beast and then headed off to see "The Perfect Guy" with Jenn and Ashley. It was pretty embarassing and something that would be much better saved for a rainy day at home...or maybe just a rainy day in the trash. HA. I am so funny. I think that "Be Cool" could be right next to the other one, it was also pretty lame. I watched that last night with Jenn and Katie after Katie and I ate Chipolte and Starbucks. I better watch out or I will be spending more money than I am making. Let's see... the night before that the cousins spent the night and we stayed in and watched Spiderman 2, which is much, much better than the other two movies, so I was satisfyed after seeing that (even though it was my third time). So, in conclusion I am sick of watching movies. Time to get drunk.

Just kidding. But not really. But a little. Well tomorrow is my last day of working until Sat, which will be really nice, although I do have lessons and privates still. Along with math class and my math tutor and a math test. Best week ever, let me tell ya. Hopefully I can go with Chris to meet Jeff downtown on Friday, that would be good. One of these weekends I want to go hiking in Vail, so I need to figure that out, and just one month until I am boogie boarding on the beach! I am so excited.

Also just a fun fact about me, I have been to Red Robin three times in the last two weeks. Mmm, I really do love it there. I went once with Ryan, once with Chris and his friend and then another time with Krisin. Never fails to please me, so good. Another fun fact is the fingers that got sunburnt a while back now look like 70 year old lady hands, and it's really grossing me out. So sunscreen has become my new best pal. It's about time.

Ok well I am ready to go to bed, so I will be back, no worries. Night.

Rusty Hinges

Yet another summer day. I know I'm going to miss it on a cold winter night when I'm sitting in my room doing homework, that's for sure.

Well I'm going to go right to what I was just thinking about. I was wondering why everyone always finds the bad in things. I mean, yeah there are days where we complain a lot and days where we are extremely optimistic, but sadly the days where we complain seem to be much more prevelant. And why people always seem to pick out the bad in other people so quickly. Everyone does it, it's almost just habit to jump right in with your opinion about someone and 9 times out of 10 it's not really something that you would say to that person's face. Some people are different, not offering their opinion or saying something nice, but when was the last time you heard "Oh yeah Mary? She's the coolest girl ever and so smart--really good at painting and cutting carrots" Well never probably, but something along those lines. What I'm getting at is we tend to pick apart people's faults rather than their strengths. Not always, but usually. And complaining does have it's fair share in the typical conversation. Don't get me wrong, I do it more than most anyone, but why? I doubt that by whining about it, it's really going to make it better. Even my math teacher was talking about something like that. He told us his son was crying and he asked his son if the crying is going to make him feel better. It never really does (ok, I take that back--it never really does with physical pain) but we do it anyway.

I was just trying to think about what people would say about me if I weren't there. Like if they were asked about me, what they would describe me like. It would probably be something along the lines of "O Jessica? Well she's blond, pretty tan but never wears sunscreen--I bet she'll get cancer. She is a sweet girl but is midly retarded and really bad at math, more specifically fractions. O yeah and she's a stupid bitch. But nice most of the time."
Eh, I don't know exactly, but beleive it or not those are the descriptions I have gotten from people who know me. And I just compilled them together. And there are like two things that could be considered nice. The rest is picking out my faults. And those are my faults, I am not arguing that at all, I think all of that is true, but aren't there other things that are true about me? Things that I am maybe good at? Am I good at anything? Well I would probably have to think about that. Hold on though, I am midly retarded so it might take me a minute to process.

This is why people are so self conscious. Not all of the reason, but society picks out people's faults way way way more than what they are good at. Sometimes one fault is picked out and the person isn't even considered "good enough" to be friends with under their standards. Granted, I am making up some fictional person who seems to be pretty shallow... or maybe it is just most guys. A concrete example of that would be a girl's looks. One glance tells it all for some. I can't help but say that's a little upsetting.

My whole point is that well 1) I am guilty of following this trend and 2) I am going to try to be more optimistic about people and other things. Less complaining. And maybe if more people were to follow this maybe the next time someone would ask about me the response would be more like "O Jessica? She's cool, pretty laid back, funny, she really likes to write, even though she sucks a big one at it. And she has always been a good friend to me."
Ha, I had a hard time with that one. And it proves my point pretty much exactly. I could easily make a list about 20 things that were wrong with me, but when asked to do the opposite, I would have a hard time thinking of even 10 things that I liked about myself. I'll work on that and get that within the next 30 years.

Ok, enough about that, I am definately rambling and going in circles. Instead I will talk about my day...which is pretty much the same as all the rest of my days, with a few things twisted around.
Well I woke up and taught swim lessons where I am running out of things to tell the little kids. There is nothing to do but play Mr. Shark and tell them to blow bubbles and use their big arms. Good thing tomorrow is the last day.
After that I worked, which was fine, it's still so damn hot. Then came home and my math tutor came over. I've never met him, he was nice, but who knows if there's any hope left for me in math. Then I went back to the pool since I knew I wasn't going to practice (if there was any) because I was working a party and I swam laps. And helped my cousin with her flip turn. Then I worked the chaotic "Swim under the stars" night the swim team was doing. Then I came home, talked on the phone a bit, ate some chicky and watched most of two movies.

So not too eventful. Last night I hung out with John and Alex (after class), we ventured to sketch waffle house, which was ok. Just a side note, it's ok if you don't use the whole thing of butter they give you. It's probably more than enough. Let's see... the night before that Elise, Ash and I went to Jenn's and watched Hitch. Afterwards I wanted frosting so Ashley and I went and got some and we ate it while she helped me with math. O man, I am such a fatty. I finished it this morning too. Sooo damn good though. I might have to get another before the summer is over.

Um, the night before that I was going to meet Elise and Laura at a party, but I decided against it and just hung out here, mostly talking on the phone with Kristin. And that day I was at the pool ALL day. When I wasn't working I was swimming there. First time all year I just stayed to swim and I was surprised that I was so entertained. And of course I hung out with my dad for the holiday in his favor. So that brings me back to when I last wrote and this is getting way too boring. Not to mention long.

Not to add to the boringness, but I am excited for tomorrow because it's my day off after lessons and I am going to meet Lauren and Ashley T. at Skyline. Another day at the pool, but at least I won't be working. Back to work on Friday, hopefully there will be practice--I really need to do something. My friend Katie called and left a message about a concert, so hopefully I'm not working and I can go with her to that. But I think I might be working...

Besides that, that's pretty much it. I am missing my girls--I think I am going to try my best to plan a trip to Chicago and we'll all have a fun weekened there. But we'll see about that. One month until North Carolina! I need to start counting down. And I need to plan a pool party at my grandma's. And a guard party. Ahh! Ok, well I am going to bed so I don't have to think anymore. That was too long. Goodnight.

Nothingness with everything written all over it

Welp, I'm back for yet another exciting post. Yipee. Midway through summer report: Same as beginning of summer report. My exciting days usually consist of:
Lessons 10-11
Work 11-3:30
Come home and either do hw or sit until either swimming rolls around at 6:15 or 6 on Tues or Thurs if I have math.
I can't lie, I have been hanging out with people which is nice, but I would like to be doing that a little more than working.
Today I went to my brothers' swim meet (summer league) which was good, it was so damn hot. I cheered them on along with my cousin as a nice older sister/cousin would do. It was my only day to sleep in, but my dad woke me at 9. Boo.
I was there for a couple of hours and actually saw two of my pryer best friends. It seems kinda weird that I would say that or that it would matter, but I have been thinking about friends and life lately and it all makes sense in my head. They were good, I am still on good terms with one of them, he is just busy as am I so it's been hard to get together a lot. On the other hand the other one was basically the same person he was except he just got more...distant, lightly put. Very lightly put. I am debating on just letting it go forever or to try to rekindle what we used to have. I kinda just feel like yelling at him and then kicking him, but we all know I am much more mature than that. Anyway the overall status from the meet was that it was hot and long.

After that I met my good buddy Lauren at her pool and we hung out there for a couple hours and then I went to her house and had dinner and we hung out more after that with other people later. It was really nice to see her and talk to her for a long time, cause it's been a while since we've been able to do that. We had a good long talk and it basically came down to life itself. And her true happiness with where she is in life. I hope I helped her, the situation is extremely difficult.

The talk did make me think about life though and how ridiclous and stupid everyone is. And when I say EVERYONE I mean pretty much every damn person that I know. There are a few that could be discluded, but I even include myself in this. I hate it how people don't like so and so and I don't talk to him or her because of this and that. And yes, I do realize that I get caught up in that drama a lot, but when I was laying the grass looking at the stars tonight I just thought about how small we truly are. I mean we live in this earth, which is a huge thing to us, but then there's the universe and we don't even know how big that is. It continually amazes me how vast this galaxy is. And it always makes me see that we aren't even specs in time. I know I've written about this before but it always gets me how everyone can get so caught up in so much petty shit when there is no reason to. I just need to continually ask myself what really matters. What is the real reason we are here? How do I want to live my life? I don't really know a lot of that, which is scary but at the same time exciting and new. And right now I kind of like the feeling of not having total control of where I am going, it is interesting where I am headed when I am half way blind. I know it won't always be like this, but I'm crusin this way for a while to come.

Well, it's been a long day and I have to get up early tomorrow so I am going to bed. I hope I don't try to strangle someone because they broke my bike in my dream tonight. Because I was pretty pissed in that dream last night.

Ahh, summer. Ahh, life. Nothingness with everything written all over it. Night.

Bedtime story

Time flies. Even if you aren't really having that much fun, I have decided that time flies no matter what. I don't really know where that came from, but I feel so old. Welp, summer is going. It's nothing extremely exciting, just the same old. When I'm not working I'm either swimming, at class or talking on the phone. After tonight I decided that I am really good at helping people fall asleep. So if you ever have trouble getting sleep, just call me and I am a guarenteed bore--I will for sure put you right to sleep. I got four in just one night! I'm on a role. Aint no stopping me now.

Well I have had a few days off from work and there is still way too much I have to do. Little things that always put a damper on the mood. I mean I have the whole day tomorrow, but there are a million things I should be doing--especially studying and oh how I am dreading that. In fact I need to just go write out a to do list. Well since I love my lists I am going to make one of some of the things I have done in the past few days:
-Block party
-Hung out with old friends
-Worked (and made some extra for a party!)
-Class
-Swam
-Talked on the phone
-Lifted
-Ate
-Got annoyed
-Got hyper
-Took a shower
There are some other things but I think I will let that be a mystery. I am quite mysterious.
Geeze, I am boring. I am even bored with myself. No wonder everyone fell asleep. I'm about to fall asleep writing this. But I will avoid the temptation because there is more to say.
Or is there?
Humm. There is stuff in my head, but I am not willing to write it all out. Too much effot. This is what I will do:

I am sad because I miss the friends I have lost, the memories will always be with me. Also I miss the innocense of childhood.
I am happy because I love the friends I have gained, and the memories that are to come. Also because I am so lucky to live the life I do.
I am nervous because I don't know what next year is going to bring--I don't even know what tomorrow is going to bring. Plus I have a math test coming up...
I am scared because I don't know if I will ever find the one. I don't know what I am going to do with the rest of my life and I don't know if I should take big risks.
I am excited because I know I have time to decide what I want to do, I am still young and have lots of time. I also know that I have a lot to look forward to.

Ok, I am getting tired of that. I think that I am so boring I am just going to go to bed. Maybe next time I won't put everyone including myself to sleep.

Sunburnt finger

Ok, well I had good intentions to go to swim practice but I don't have any way of getting there, so I guess I can't go. I really need to though, but I will just work out at my house later. So with that important news out of the way we can get on to other happenings in my life.

Ok, well that's that then. Bye.

Just kidding. But seriously, Today I went to morning pracitce and after I treated Lauren and I to a nice breakfast and she treated me to a fun day at the pool. And then I went to math class after doing some homework. And afterwards Pamela and I went to Chipolte. So it was a pretty good day, except class which is sooo looong. Tomorrow I am working once again (surprise, surprise) and then I don't know what else! No later practice so I have the whole night ahead of me! What am I to do with all this free time on my hands?! We shall see.

But until then I will be sleeping and doing all those things that I do... And I have one last thing to say, my pointer fingers got sunburnt. They are so hot. I think that is a really random place to get sunburnt. I'll make sure to put sunscreen there next time...

Well this weather officially sucks. What a bad memorial day weekend. But I am ok with it considering I didn't have to work as long today. I smell like hot dogs or something. Huh. Anyway, update on some movies, Madagasgar: just ok, not as funny as I thought. Recommendation: Wait until it comes out on DVD. Closer: Fucking weird. Recommendation: Never see it. Nothing else too new to discuss...worked a party last night and got some cold hard cash! Chi ching! But I already spent almost half of it tonight. But this weekend has been good and math class starts in a day.
I have some goals this summer, they are:
1. Read the Da Vinci Code
2. Pass my math class
3. Get in shape
4. Go hiking
5. Make money
6. Build a gaint bird house
7. Roller blade with my glow in the dark turbo skates at 2 am
8. Learn how to do a 1.5 double off the board
9. Get a parachute
10. Paint a giant lepracan (sp?) on a sail boat and call it "lucky"

Ok, so maybe the last five are a little out there, but that would be good if I got around to those as well as my other plans. Well that is all for now, I am tired.
P.S. Watch out for sibliminal messaging--it's everywhere!
