Funny little things

So I was renewing my lease with my brother the other day because he had to co-sign with me when I first signed my lease 2 years ago because evil Vitamin Shoppe cut my pay when they transfered me. Anyway!

We got to the part of the lease where I had to initial next to the rules to indicate that I agreed with them. I started putting my initials down and handed the paper to my brother. He said that I didn't initial I put the "at" sign. I said no, I put the "e" sign cause my initial is ek with a circle around it only after signing my name twenty times I gave up and just did e with a circle around it. Then we got into a conversation regarding where the "at" sign came from and what it's name was.

Well I found out. Please click on the following link to find out:

Crawling out from under a rock

Hi Everyone!

I know it's been forever and a day since I've posted. I'm actually thinking of re-doing this site completely. Not sure how though because I still want it to cross-post to my livejournal but I'll figure it out.

Anyway I'm waiting to hear back from UMBC to see if I can start my career as a social worker. Okay not really start, but at least start my major.

On the plus side I found out that my mom and dad want to take me to Peru when I get my Bachelors degree! I'm super excited about this and now am more motivated to finish school and get my Spanish up to par because I'm not going to Peru and not being able to speak my own language!

I also want to learn the native language which is Quechua. But I think that might be a goal for later on as no one here speaks it.

Well I should get back to work I have to finish reading at least one article from the NY Times and make a post about it before I go and head out to see the Lion King!

Super excited about that! WOOHOO!

The happenings of a survivor...

My name is Laney Marie, well that's my nick name anyway and it's the name that I choose to go by. Due to the nature of this weblog I wish to maintain some anonymity. Also this description is to serve as a warning to parents of younger children. So please pay attention:

When I was two (2) years old I was sexually abused. The situation of course was well handled by Child Protective Services and my parents. When I was seventeen (17) years old I fell victim to what they call an acquaintance rape, meaning that I was raped be someone who I knew.

This weblog will be a record of my journey through recover. At times some of the entries well be dark and will discuss the events around both incidents. Other times this will merely be a record of things that have happened to me throughout my day.

I have chosen to publish this weblog to help others out there who have gone through the same thing. Also to help parents understand what their children are going through.

Feelings do not make sense, they are made out of gray area, so please while you try to apply logic to I have gone through and what I am going through keep that in mind.
