Taking Chances: March 2010
http://shanshantastic.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
I'm taking charge, taking chances, and taking you along for the ride. Tuesday, March 23, 2010. Just in case you've been hiding under a rock.the House of Representatives passed historic health care reform on Sunday night, and President Obama is expected to sign the bill today. Within the next few weeks the Senate will pass changes to the bill through the reconciliation process, and we will join the rest of the First World in our commitment to providing health care to our citizens. Obviously there are poli...

Taking Chances: Ride on the Magic School Bus...
http://shanshantastic.blogspot.com/2010/05/ride-on-magic-school-bus.html
I'm taking charge, taking chances, and taking you along for the ride. Ride on the Magic School Bus. Wednesday, May 12, 2010. Growing up, I have to admit: my favorite teacher was Miss Frizzle from The Magic School Bus. Sorry, Mrs. Owens.) I mean, come on - I will gnaw off my left arm if anybody I know ever got to take the sort of awesome field trips that those kids had. Watching those shows inspired me, and was probably the motivation for my earliest desire to become a teacher. DaddyDaddy, come back!

Taking Chances: Say goodbye
http://shanshantastic.blogspot.com/2010/05/say-goodbye.html
I'm taking charge, taking chances, and taking you along for the ride. Monday, May 17, 2010. I wasn't going to write about this, but it could prove to be an important lesson somewhere down the line. Oh, we certainly knew one. The message I received was somewhat more comprehensive: "You know I suck at apologies but I'm sorry and I miss you.". From someone standing maybe twenty feet away from me and using their line of sight to mean mug me after our last decidedly unpleasant encounter? DaddyDaddy, come back!

Taking Chances: May 2009
http://shanshantastic.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
I'm taking charge, taking chances, and taking you along for the ride. Bienvenue a la cirque des rêves cassés. Monday, May 4, 2009. I needed a place where I could just put my thoughts without soliciting an answer, a question, or even a sympathetic stare. It gets old after awhile, it does, so I came back to what I know - what's here. And why am I just waiting for things to happen to me, anyway? I need to stop being afraid. All the time I spent going down the right path - why do I now feel that I fell in th...

Taking Chances: True Life: I'm crying out for attention!
http://shanshantastic.blogspot.com/2010/05/true-life-im-crying-out-for-attention.html
I'm taking charge, taking chances, and taking you along for the ride. True Life: I'm crying out for attention! Wednesday, May 12, 2010. We have been having a discussion about MTV. At the office over the past couple of days, and I was (un)fortunate enough to catch a 2-3 minute clip from last night's episode: "I Hate My Plastic Surgery". Never mind the larger question of when MTV decided that playing, I don't know, music. For which I would actually tune in:. True Life: I'm a train wreck. Chronicle on Highe...

Taking Chances: Just an unrequited lover, wishing she had never spoken your name...
http://shanshantastic.blogspot.com/2010/06/just-unrequited-lover-wishing-she-had.html
I'm taking charge, taking chances, and taking you along for the ride. Just an unrequited lover, wishing she had never spoken your name. Monday, June 14, 2010. If I ever write this letter. Oh the pages I could write. But I don't know where to send it. You have vanished, heaven. Knows where you live. If I ever write this letter. Bitter words it would contain. Just an unrequited lover. Wishing she had never spoken your name. Had never known your name. But if I ever write this letter. The precious, the few.

Taking Chances: October 2007
http://shanshantastic.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
I'm taking charge, taking chances, and taking you along for the ride. Sunday, October 7, 2007. So I've reached my threshold of how much shit I'm willing to take. As in, no more. I'm from this point on not dealing with anything. Just this past Friday I was standing in the campus center after having decided to cast a ballot to nominate a Homecoming court. This is not something that particularly interests me, but I figured hey, why not. A note on the "self": This was a concept developed by Caitlyn to explai...

Taking Chances: December 2009
http://shanshantastic.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
I'm taking charge, taking chances, and taking you along for the ride. I just want to start again, maybe you could show me how to try. Monday, December 28, 2009. I was tempted to delete every post before this one, in an attempt to really make this a fresh start. I can't bring myself to do it, though, despite the head-shaking that invariably happens when I look at who I was even two years ago. God, I was foolish. It's almost like I'm famous. Goals for this week: finish two personal statements, survive New ...

Taking Chances: November 2007
http://shanshantastic.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
I'm taking charge, taking chances, and taking you along for the ride. Mon rêve, tenant le premier rôle:. Friday, November 16, 2007. Les similitudes frappent. la dévotion, les visites, les tentatives de se maintenir dans l'esprit (et le coeur? Il préoccupe de voir les parallèles, pour ce que si les résultats sont un même et des extrémités différentes de personne hauts avec un coeur cassé? Pourquoi, pourquoi quand tous que je veux le film est-il fin j'obtiennent-ils simplement le rôle de support? Thursday,...

Taking Chances: June 2010

I'm taking charge, taking chances, and taking you along for the ride. Blogging the 30-Day Breakup Guide: A week in a day (or two). Wednesday, June 16, 2010. Ahh, The Frisky. Once again comes to my rescue. So yesterday, I turned to the 30 Day Breakup Guide. Written by Jamie Beckman, the subject of a new book. Day 1: change your cell phone's wallpaper so it has nothing to do with the ex. OkayI wasn't going to do this one. My BlackBerry shows me the cast of Glee. Day 2: tell your friends. To happen.and ...
