The MS Walk is in 11 hours!
Hello all.
Tomorrow (6 May 2012) is the walk, and I will begin walking the path with my team at 8AM CDT (6AM PDT, 9AM EDT, 2PM BST, 3PM CEST, Midnight on Monday VUT, 1AM on Monday NZST). As a team, we have raised $1,805 so far; you all combined have donated $260 of that amount. I want to thank you for donating so much, especially in these hard times; I know how hard it is to be able to give, and your efforts are going to go a long way: your tax-deductible gift helps fund cutting-edge research and programs and services for people affected by MS.
Movement is something many of us take for granted, but for people living with MS, movement isn't a guarantee. Support me and together we'll move forward on behalf of those who cannot. Donate online by clicking on the link at the bottom of this message or by sending a check to the National MS Society, Minnesota Chapter, 200 12th Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN 55415. Please write my first and last name and Walk MS in the memo line.
We all know either somebody with MS or somebody who has a person with MS close to them, and I appreciate your helping put an end to MS. If you are able to, or know someone who wants to help out, it is not too late to donate. Just follow this link: http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Walk/MNMWalkEvents?px=10657813&pg=personal&fr_id=17313
For more information about the National MS Society, how proceeds from Walk MS are used or the other ways you can Join the Movement to end MS, please visit walkMS.org.
The MS Walk is in less than 2 weeks!
Hello, my dear friends and family.
Multiple sclerosis stops people from moving and I want to make sure it doesn't. And so, that is why I'm participating in the MS Walk. Please help me celebrate hope for the future and move toward a world free of MS by supporting my fundraising efforts.
Your tax-deductible gift helps fund cutting-edge research and programs and services for people affected by MS.
I will be walking on May the 6th, which is just under two weeks away. We all know someone who has MS, or knows someone who is close to a person with MS. Therefore; I walk for those who can no longer, because we want to find a way to put an end to MS.

MS Walk 2012 is in 31 days!
My dear friends and family,
Your participation makes a difference in the lives of people affected by MS, and we all know someone with MS or know someone who knows someone with MS. If you have the means to, please support my Walk MS: Christopher & Banks Walk presented by Walser, which benefits the National MS Society. Multiple sclerosis stops people from moving, and the National MS Society exists to make sure it doesnt. Please help by making a donation large or small, anything at all to move closer to a cure for MS. You can also join me on the day of the event. Become a participant and side by side we will move together to raise funds that make a difference.
We walk in 31 days.
I appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress. Imagine a world free of multiple sclerosis it can happen with your help.
Yours most truly,
Justin Grays

It's hard to break the cycle of emotions.
I am convinced that I will be forever alone.
I am alone because I believe that I will be alone (or so they tell me).
I believe that I will be alone because experience has taught me that I will be alone.
Experience has taught me that I will be alone because I am alone more often than not.
I am alone more often than not because I never learned to form long-term relationships.
I never formed long-term relationships because I am told that I am not worth being with.
I have been told that I am not worth being with because I am forever alone.
...
Might as well get used to it. Still have 3-7 decades left of this adventure.
Haven't done one of these in a while.
What Kind of D&D Character Would You Be? (version 5.1EZ based on NEPPYMAN'S version 4.10)
http://easydamus.com/character.html
I Am A: Neutral Good Elf Wizard (4th Level)
Ability Scores:
Strength-13
Dexterity-15
Constitution-10
Intelligence-15
Wisdom-11
Charisma-13
Alignment:
Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment when it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.
Race:
Elves are known for their poetry, song, and magical arts, but when danger threatens they show great skill with weapons and strategy. Elves can live to be over 700 years old and, by human standards, are slow to make friends and enemies, and even slower to forget them. Elves are slim and stand 4.5 to 5.5 feet tall. They have no facial or body hair, prefer comfortable clothes, and possess unearthly grace. Many others races find them hauntingly beautiful.
Class:
Wizards are arcane spellcasters who depend on intensive study to create their magic. To wizards, magic is not a talent but a difficult, rewarding art. When they are prepared for battle, wizards can use their spells to devastating effect. When caught by surprise, they are vulnerable. The wizard's strength is her spells, everything else is secondary. She learns new spells as she experiments and grows in experience, and she can also learn them from other wizards. In addition, over time a wizard learns to manipulate her spells so they go farther, work better, or are improved in some other way. A wizard can call a familiar- a small, magical, animal companion that serves her. With a high Intelligence, wizards are capable of casting very high levels of spells.

So, what do you think?
So, after a discussion with friends, I was wondering what properties of wood do you find that I match? Choose three. There are some sites that have listings:

Non-specific advice.
On 2 Jan 12, I made a Facebook status that said, "Advice. And go." Here is the advice:
Luci R: keep the rubber side down
aevumcaruivos: Don't stick your feet on the sides of moving escalators. They are cleverly disguised monsters just waiting to pull your shoes and not-swift-enough feet into their evil maws.
Dave M: On what?
Tom S: Avoid race tracks. The only place I know where the windows clean the people....
Susan W: Allow people to miss you.
crystalstar: *Bring water to a boil BEFORE adding the pasta.
*Eat a banana at some point in the day before going swimming (or if swimming in the AM, eat it the night before). The potassium will work to prevent cramping.
*Pay attention to expiration dates. They're there for a reason.
*Shop at Aldi to save money, but don't trust the cheese.
*Bite the bullet and pay for the checked bag when flying. Your carry on may end up on the other side of the plane from you, and who knows who will put their grubby mitts all over it before the plane lands.
Camilla N: Enjoy hugs. Like yourself. Accept that you and life are not perfect. Allow for constructive dissatisfaction. :)
Camilla N: Oh, and give up having bad days; limit yourself to bad moments. :D
danny279: Don't waste time with people who don't like you for everything you are. And there's no such thing as saying "I love you" too much to the people you care about. For them or you, there may not be much time left. (That sounds depressing, but trust me on that one.)
Michelle G: Don't sweat the small stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff. Unless the "sweaty stuff" is your lover. Then, pet away :)
Theodora B: It is better to be pissed off than pissed on.
Theodora B: Flammable and inflammable...same f**kin' thing.
praecorloth: 1. You ask a girl out twice. After that, let her come to you if she will at all.
2. There's that thing. You know, that thing you should be doing. Yeah, do it.
3. There ain't many troubles a feller can't fix, with a quart of Jim Beam and a .30-06.
4. The troubles that can't be solved by #3 are very troublesome. Handle with care.
5. If you trust your data to Windows, you're going to run in to category #4 trouble.
6. All meat should have sea salt or kosher salt rubbed in before it is cooked.
7. For the love of all that's good and holy, don't forget your towel! (I'm surprised no one has mentioned this one yet.)
Katie F: Don't eat the crab dip. YEEYEEEAH.
never_again4: don't fear the reaper?
praecorloth: Oh shit. I forgot. If anyone asks if you're a god, you say, "Yes!"
Daniela C: Do more of what makes you happy. Do less of what makes you feel less then.
Genna Z: Laugh as much as you can! Smile often, know you can do anything!
red_oonagh: Cold wet is bad.
idiosyncracy: Always look before you leap, and never send a finger to do a qtip's job.
Cassie H: Do not fear mistakes- fear only the absence of creative, constructive, and corrective responses to those mistakes!
This came to mind as I was waking up.
I do believe in fairies. They are real; it is true.
They bring hope to life, and make our childrens dreams come true.
I do believe in fairies. I have seen them, and so have you.
They are real, they are tangible, and the children love them, so why dont you?
For some reason, I sent out two alliterations to a friend of mine.
Flamboyant flamingos flailing fun fiery feathers finally.
Dangerous Dachshunds doing dirty dishes dangerously.
Yeah, I don't know either. Perhaps more later.
Thought this up in the shower.
As I stand alone in this long night of solace, I look to the horizon and remember how things use to be. Future dreams lay in ruins; the journeys end is too near. The candle has burnt out; the fires have left without a shout. I call tranquility base to send me a signal home, for I want this trek through the undiscovered country to be over.
Hm...
You are a Working Class Warrior, also known as a blue-collar Democrat. You believe that the little guy is getting screwed by conservative greed-mongers and corporate criminals, and youre not going to take it anymore.
What is wrong with me?
The title is a rhetorical question.
There is something in my head. It's whispering to me, "you can't possibly finish this paper and pass this class. You are going to fail. Accept it."
That is, when it isn't calling me fat.
I need to call to get an appointment to see someone at NIP, but that same thing is keeping me from getting tasks done. I need to get this something to shut up and let me go about my business. I need to finish this paper.
25 hours, 15 minutes until it is due.
