| hello there, friends. so, i've been gone from xanga for a while now, and i bet you are wondering what's new with me? well, i am competing in the captex triathlon in austin, tx on may 28 (memorial day). i will be swimming 0.9 miles, biking 25 miles, then running 6.2 miles.
this is the part where most people look at me like i am crazy. so, let me explain. all of the training and even the race itself are just a small part of the bigger picture... i am in the process of raising $2600 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society through Team in Training. so far, with the generous help of friends, family, and co-workers, we have raised $950 for the cause. please help us in our fight toward a cure for blood cancers by donating to my web site at
www.active.com/donate/tntntx/lindi
no amount of support is too small, and i appreciate you just taking the time to read this message.
thank you,
lindi

| i logged into xanga to change my picture and noticed an advertisment for "espinthebottle". is it just me, or are the two kids in the picture about twleve years old. ridiculous. first of all, twelve year olds should not be models for anything even seemingly adult. i belive a spin-the-bottle web site falls into the category of borderline-adult. yes, i realize that loads of people played spin the bottle when they were young, but seriously, a web site for random twelve year-old hookups. it just doesn't sound right. this ad reminds me of something one might see in the window of an abercrombie store. children made to look older than they are. why is the advertising world so ready to rid the world of childhood innocence? why don't kids get to be kids any more? those poor children don't know what they are about to miss. i would give anything to have the carefree lifestyle of a pre-teenager. i guess that is one of life's greatest ironies. children long to grow up, but grown-ups long to recapture their youth. we all just need to learn to be content where we are in life. i have found that appreciating and loving what you have is the best way to live, and the only true way to be happy. so, the moral of the story is: if you are young, don't grow up too fast. and if you are not so young any more, enjoy where you are and make the most of life.

| it is amazing to me how spring- and i am sure there are many others, i just don't know them- can write a xanga entry every day. i simply lack the dedication, or creativity, or imagination, though it is probably some combination of all three.
my biggest problem is that i never know what to write about. any suggestions?

| "Yesterday, while fixing dinner, Lindi accidentally put her hand through the kitchen window. And immediately began bleeding profusely. I saw it. It was scary. But she is very calm in crisis situations, and she wants to be a doctor, so she was able to tell us exactly what to do. Chad drove her to the hospital, where she got four stitches on her hand. So everyone, be glad that Lindi didn't die yesterday. I sure am." --Spring Frankenburger
i borrowed that from spring, partly because she was very sweet to say she is glad i did not die, and partly because one handed typing sucks.
so, tuesday night my hand went through a pane of glass. let me explain... in my apartment (circa 1930-40's) the windows open outward like doors. all one must do to open the window is simply push on said window with very little pressure and voila! in this particular case, the window did not open because (unbeknownst to me) it was duct-taped shut from the outside. duct tape + 1940's glass = a nearly severed pinky finger, 1.5 pints of blood loss, and four stitches with a hint of dermabond skin glue.
thanks to my ability to remain calm and some really great friends (boyfriend included), i survived. spring made sure the house didn't burn down, chad drove me to the hospital, and lauren stayed with me- constantly supplying me with compassion and paper towels, since i kept bleeding through them.
thank you friends. you are wonderful.
reido- if you read this, i would love for you to get me some serious pain meds. thanks, little brother, i love you and your drug-procuring skills. | | |
