Julianna Wylkyns

Ok, so, I've settled on 14thC Irish. I really want to just be all over, every country, but I need to pick a home. Sticking with something I can truly claim, and maybe just changing my stupid last name's spelling so its more Mine, might at least wrap that up. I can stil craft any culture. I can study the whole 14th C, loved most by me because of what we as a thinking species accomplished tween 1200-1400! Its a good starting point, and the dresses I've seen aren't overly poofy. Not pants, but I might have to bite the bullet on that one. I may claim 14th C Irish maiden, but I AM pyrate captain. I just, don't know how to justify her yet.

090106 Registering Classes. A Journey...

So I walked up to the Registration Bldg @635, & a man in a yellow jacket told me the line for Reg started at the Tech building, which opens at (gasp) 630! So I walk through the rain (yes, its raining) to the "side door" which turns out to be another entrance to the Reg Bldg. After a chance meeting with the man in the yellow jacket he tells me "NEXT building!" Off I go. To a locked door telling I was "You are Here!" at the smoking area. Handy dandy map DID tell me the true door was around the way though! Again.. off I go. Through the rain, now dripping down my forehead, to another locked door. A security woman comes out to tell me the doors open Automatically at 8am. "They wouldn't let you wait in the Reg Bldg?" "They told me to come here.." "Go ahead and sit in there, out of the rain." So... I trudge back to the Reg Bldg. Only this time I ignore the yellow jacketed fiends and go to my car. Here I sit, across from the A...

Boooo have a beautiful brindle boxer female lying at my feet at G13, and no way to keep her. Hasn't been wild long, still affectionate/friendly! /girly <3ache I had no food to give her, as I'd eaten it all, but I found a pack of Ramen in my trunk. She didn't eat all of it, delicacy that it is, but at least I fed her something. She hung out just as I was leaving then went back to the woods. Wish I could have taken her home. - From WeyrCat's Treo...

FitSum (Yesterday): Run3.5m 35:16 ended at 7mph! Pu2. FitSum (Today): Pedom : 4390 To Mile Marker 100: 93.9/100!! Yea, today my pedometer tracked only the steps I took in the Museum when we saw the Dead Sea Scrolls, as 3 hours of driving doesn't earn you very much. The exhibit was awesome. Photos weren't allowed, so I drew what notes I could, but now I can't find them. Photos below are from the internet.  "The Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit, running until Jan. 4 with extended hours, features 12 scrolls – four of which have never been publicly displayed – and more than 100 artifacts from the Qumran ruins, everyday items from pottery to leather to sandals to basketry. The exhibit, on loan from the Israel Antiquities Authority , was created specifically for the museum and will never be recreated elsewhere." - WRAL.com   In 1947, the scrolls were discovered in the Qumran Caves in West Bank, Palestine . Dating from the 3rd century BCE to the 1st century CE,[1] the Dead Sea S...
