====== The Life and Times of Lea Rodriguez ====== The time has come. Lea is finally starting a blog. //Shudder.//((How I wished I would never have to say those words.)) For those of you who don’t know me - I pity you. For those of you who do, I congratulate you.((By which I mean //I'm so sorry.// I hear there's a support group.)) The main drive behind this piece of utter narcissism((Other than being an utter narcissist, of course.)) is that I’m going to Lesotho for my peace corps assignment and //certain// family members insist that I keep in touch((Oh how the demands of society weigh on me.)). However, I will certainly not limit my scope to family members, so be warned - no self-censoring.((Just kidding, I'm going to censor the everlasting @#*$5@ out of myself.)) Of course, one doesn't //have// to be family to read this. I'll be sending out the link to anyone whom I've felt at all close to over the past few years. And maybe when you're really bored, you'll end up here. I'll update this every now and then to let everyone know I'm still alive and kicking, and share my immense wisdom of 23 years, and to try to be funny.((I might use a //few// footnotes - just every now and then. Not like I would overuse them or anything.)) If there's something you don't like on here, or something personal you would like to discuss with me about what I wrote, please don't.((So awkward. Only the personal stuff, anything else is fair game.)) Note that this does NOT mean don't send me emails asking how I am or whatnot((Though that's the purpose of the blog...)), but really just that I'm fairly free expressing myself in writing, at a distance, and that would not transfer well to actual conversations. Below are links to each entry. A slightly awkward way of doing it, but footnotes were waaay more annoying on, say, blogger. So here we are. All post titles will be preceded by a date, and the newest posts will always be at the top of their respective section. Red links have not yet been created. ====== NC Posts - Pre Lesotho. ====== [[Lea:140812-11 - Wilmington|140815 - Wilmington]] [[Lea:1408 - Mountains to Sea|1408 - Mountains to Sea]] [[Lea:1408 - Mountains to Seap2|1408 - Mountains to Sea : Part Two]] ====== Lesotho ====== All Lesotho Posts here, chronologically ordered with the newest at the top - except Comm notes and Booklist are sticky at the top. Also, you can just hover over the footnote number to see them - you don't have to scroll to the bottom.
