Welcome to the pond

It's almost Thursday, but whatever. Here's the Wednesday Mind Hump, Official Thank You Day Edition:

1. Name two of your teachers from school whom you'd like to thank.

I'd like to thank Mrs. Kendall for treating us middle schoolers like we were actually intelligent, and I'd like to thank Professor Maier for pushing us hard for our own good.

2. Name two friends you'd like to thank.

I'd like to thank Beth for letting me indulge in my geeky, obsessive side and all the late-night chats about music. I'd like to thank Mike for introducing me to Family Guy and believing in me. And I'd like to thank Jess for everything!

3. Name two celebrities you'd like to thank.

I'd like to thank Sarah McLachlan for singing so beautifully, and I'd like to thank Britney Spears for giving me something to talk about with Jess.

4. If you have anyone else you'd like to thank, you can thank them here!

I'd like to thank my mom for bringing me into the world! And I'd like to thank you, whoever you are, for reading my blog.
