I drew this on my graffiti wall on facebook, but I liked it so I wanted to show it off here too.

Part of me really hopes that people will notice that thing that announces your friends' birthdays on Facebook when you first login and I will receive a slew of happy birthday comments.

sunscreen

I hate the feeling of sunscreen and sunblock when you first put them on.

I am terrible at the concept of leaving while you still want more. I usually tend to suck things completely dry and then move onto the next thing. Food, music, whatever. If I like a food I usually keep eating it until I'm sick to my stomach and never want to eat food again. I find a song I really like and then I'll wear it out in two days. If I have a puppy I will accidentally kill it. Just kidding! But in a metaphorical sense I'm not kidding.

Since being in Wyoming I've noticed that I have been "zipping up the sleeping bag of myself" almost all of the time. I think a lot of times I give people a watered-down version of my personality. Especially people in Wyoming; especially my parents. I don't know why I do this, or why I've always done it, but I don't want to do it anymore. If I am happy, I will be happy and I'll tell people why I'm happy. If I am sad, I will be sad and I'll tell people why I'm sad. If someone asks me what I like to do for fun I'm going to tell them exactly what I like to do for fun. No more diluted personality.

"I'm gonna bury my feelings deep inside me." "What do you mean, bury your feelings?" "No matter how much I feel, I'm not going to let it out. If I have to cry, I'm gonna cry on the inside. If I have to bleed, I'll bruise. If my heart starts going crazy, I'm not gonna tell everyone in the world about it. It doesn't help anything. It just makes everyone's life worse." "But if you're burying your feelings deep inside you, you won't really be you, will you?"

a beautiful day in the neighborhood

I just found this article about Mr. Rogers. He was a really great guy.

middle name

Today I felt inspired to start using my middle name more frequently. I'm going to do it. From here on out I'm Dallin Noel Skinner.
