Sadly, I think I'd have to go with Mozart or something equally as "wait, is this still daisy posting?" ish.

There are a lot of albums I LOVE (Appetite for Destruction, Nevermind, Doolittle etc.) but I don't want to hear them for the rest of my life.

I'm so unoriginal that I basically never dreamed computers would be able to do ANY of the stuff they can do now. I was happy just playing Arkanoid on my MacPlus for hours upon hours...

In the future? I'd like teleportation... Easier ways to implement videos and photos in blog posts... And it'd be nice if my computer could somehow spot and fix all of my problems before they actually occur.

It should be/have:
  • Sturdy and plastic - drop-proof/spill-proof
  • Colorful - colors and patterns for boys and girls
  • Big keys for little fingers
  • Include learning games
  • Should close up and have a handle so that it's easily to transport (like the Fisher Price record players of yester-year)
  • Microphone so kids can record music and voice
  • Camera - kids love to take pictures of themselves - plus, they could easily make videos etc to send to the grandparents etc.
  • Good photo/video software that is simple, intuitive and fun for kids
It should not have:
  • Constant internet access - it'd be great if it came with some kind of card parents could remove, so that kids can be on the computer, playing games etc, but not be able to go online without the parents knowledge

I drank too much and threatened suicide like the crazy chick that I am. Duh.

Writer's Block: My Biggest Environmental Pet Peeve

Littering, long showers, not recycling... What's your biggest pet peeve about the way some people (mis)treat our planet?

Sponsored by One Million Acts of Green brought to you by Cisco.

To be honest, there's not much that bothers me when it comes to the environment... But littering - cigarette butts and gum especially - drive me crazy. ESPECIALLY cigarette butts at the beach. It's SAND, not an ashtray.



Writer's Block: Licensed to Drive
[info]daisy
If I ever have children, I will definitely make sure they learn how to drive when they're young. I waited until I was 26 and I"m pretty sure that's why I'm the horrible driver I am today. Well, that, and the fact that I blast the radio, sing at the top of my lungs and text message while going 90 mph on mountain roads...

That being said, we all know teenagers are crazy and think they're invincible. Plus, I got rear-ended by one once, so I'm all for locking them in the basement and not letting them do anything until they're a little more mature. Like me. :)

Writer's Block: Things You Don't Want to Know

If you knew that a friend's significant other was cheating on him or her, would you tell your friend the truth or keep it to yourself?


View 503 Answers

This happened to me in grad school... People saw a good friend's wife kissing another guy. In addition, the wife had confided in me that she was corresponding excessively with an ex-boyfriend and that she wasn't sure where she wanted it to go blah blah blah.

EVERYONE was talking about and yet no one would tell the friend.

So one night, after a reading at the beach, we were walking back to our cars, and I decided i had to say something.

BIGGEST. MISTAKE. EVER.

Our friendship never recovered, and to this day, I regret ever saying a word. (Though I am happy to say they're still married and seemed to have figured stuff out from what I've heard.)

It is just not worth it to get involved in your friends' love lives. They have to figure things out for themselves. They'll just end up resenting you if you try to insert your opinion.

Well, while it was hard to improve on "college daisy," I do think the removal of the tongue and lip piercing were probably a good idea. Also, I stopped dying my hair blonde.

And I'm a little more particular with the boys I date. ;) (just a little bit though.)
