Best eyes.
The Girl with X-Ray Eyes
Natasha Demkina has an extraordinary gift that means she can quite literally see right through people. Her story sounds like it has come straight from the pages of a science fiction comic book, but doctors have yet to disprove her amazing abilities. Natasha is able to look into people’s bodies and correctly diagnose their medical problems, without any help from ultra-sound or x-ray equipment.
Natasha’s mother, Tatyana Vladimovna, says that her daughter appeared to be like any other child as she grew up, although she was mature for her age. Natasha learned to do things more quickly than other children; she was able to talk at just six months and by the time she was a year old she could recite Pushkin. At three she had learned the alphabet and mastered how to operate a snow mobile.
When she was ten Natasha went into hospital to have her appendix removed. There were complications and it was discovered that cotton swabs had been left in her abdomen. Natasha had a second operation to remove the swabs and one month later she began to remark on the fact she could see inside people. She told her mother she saw what looked like a vacuum cleaner hose, two beans and a tomato inside her. Tatyana believed that, although Natasha didn’t know the correct words, her daughter was describing her intestines, kidneys and heart.
At the children’s hospital in her hometown of Saransk, Western Russia, doctors ran a battery of tests to find out if the little girl really did have x-ray vision. In one case Natasha drew a picture of what she saw inside a doctor’s stomach, marking a dark spot exactly where he had an ulcer. She also disagreed with the diagnosis of a cancer patient, saying all she could see was a small cyst. Further tests on the woman proved that Natasha was correct.
Natasha was brought to England by a national newspaper and she successfully spotted all of the fractures and metal pins in a woman who had recently been in a car crash. The woman was fully clothed and had no visible signs of how or where she had been injured.
Natasha is an icon in Russia. She receives dozens of phone calls each day and people queue outside her parents tiny flat to wait for consultations. Natasha wants to go to medical school in Moscow, so she can continue helping people. But the only way her family could afford to send her to university was to charge 400 roubles (£8) for each consultation she gave. Natasha often has headaches after these sessions and finds it emotionally exhausting because of the illnesses she diagnoses.

Laziest day...
Woke up today at 4:00. Thought about cleaning my room. Took a "before" pic so I could do a before and after. Never got around to actually cleaning it.

I hate waking up late. I feel like a shithead.
Afterwards, Zack and I rode the bus to the dining hall. The food sucked. I had cereal and fries. So much for my "diet".

In honor of Mighty Mondays, we decided not to lift but to skate. We needed some physical activity.




Ate more fries at The Castle. Gross. Noah came back from Richmond, listened to the Sucker Punch demo. It is new and pretty good, check it out.(www.myspace.com/suckerpunchcville)
I'm trying to start updating this more.

Worst Threat.
I hate to get political, but if you are Conservative and whining about President-elect Obama, saying that you're going to move to another country (because he is "Socialist"), please at LEAST get your facts straight. CANADA AND FRANCE ARE INFINITELY MORE SOCIALIST THAN THE UNITED STATES. You're all idiots.

The Most Naval, Plebe Admiral Michael Sean Callahan.

Mikey has been my best friend since the fourth grade. He is currently locked up at the Naval Academy in Maryland. I can't explain how close Mikey and I are. He is one of the nicest, smartest, and most caring people I've ever met. Being one of six children, he also has some interesting stories to tell.

So the Mexican goes out and picks 100 oranges and comes back and the farmer is like, "Well shove them up your ass or I'll kill you" and the Mexican is like, "Well, I don't wanna die today." But he gets to about 50 and they all fall out so he shoots him and he kills him. And then uhhhh the white guy comes back with 100 grapes and the farmer is like "Well, shove them up your ass or I'll kill you," and the white guy is like, "Well I don't wanna die today..." So he starts to shove them up his ass but when he gets to 99 he starts laughin, and the farmer is like "Why are you laughing?!" and he's like "Haha, well that black guy is out there picking 100 watermelons."

Christos Nelson Anastasopoulos.

I just met Christos right before we went camping. I like him a lot though, and he has the best nicknames such as Double Dos, Toast, and my favorite, Greek Toast. He now lives in Richmond. Christos and I were laying in a tent avoiding a really stupid fake ghost story.

Jacob Elliotte Schmitt.

Jake is the lead singer of Full Court Press and one of the few edgemen in Charlottesville. He now lives in Richmond attending VCU. He didn't like interview format, so we added some questions. Jake is also an associate of the Gear Crisis blog. He was blowing up a mattress while this interview took place, we were camping in the woods of Albemarle County.

Taylor Lorraine Nystrom.

Taylor is my best friend. Probably one of the most interesting people I know, she's number 7 in the nation in rock climbing, attends school in Colorado, has one of the best families to ever exist and is always willing to help anyone out. I couldn't live without her. We did this over video chat because she is 1500+ miles away from me.
TL: Best or Worst?
TN: Best!

TL: Best purchase you've ever made?
TN: I just bought a bike that I'm in love with...but no. I have one pair of shorts, boy's swim trunks. I have worn those every day of the summer to work for four years straight. Every day. And I think I only spent like, fourteen bucks on them.

Adrian Nigel Henson.
Adrian is a bum who hangs out on the Corner in Charlottesville. He's always asking bro's for cigarettes or change. He has a million good stories to tell (true or not). This interview took place on the Corner while he sipped beer from a Styrofoam cup.
AH: Best or worst what? (It's just a question) Can I do two best and two worst or four best and four worst? Or no worst? (No, I mean like..what's the best place in the world, you know). Machu Picchu, definitely. (Okay, I guess we're going with best then.) Yeah... best.TL: Best or Worst?

TL: Best time of day?

TL: Best place in the world? Machu Picchu, right?
AH: Yes, Machu Picchu of course. Oh man, the floor there is magnificent. And it is about 16000 feet. You know, the growth and everything makes it perfect. And they have monkeys too. They're pretty timid though, not like those ones you told me about. Its pretty wild...and its history too. Its terrace farming. Yes sir, I realized how small the world is when I went there. I met some Japanese sailors who had blown off course and we just talked about the Red Sox and the Yankees and Osaka and you know they're related to the Incas and shit. They were there because their GPS blew off course. When I got back to Charlottesville, I went to pick up my good friend's mail, and on the cover...low and behold, you know who it was?
My Japanese sailor friends...small world I tell ya.
Evan Patrick Chambliss.

I've known Evan for a few years, and he was the one of the only other people at my high school who was into hardcore. We had Shakespeare together, worst class but funny stories came from it, and we ate lunch together most days. Evan can be hilarious and at the time of this interview he was calling random people via the internet.
TL: Best or Worst?
EC: Um...Worst
TL: Worst feeling?
EC: How about...um...when you just made a PB&J and you drop it face down into dog hair or something. And you've already had a shitty day.

TL: Worst purchase you've ever made?

EC: Um...5.30 AM and you've stayed up all night and it's getting light?
TL: Worst place in the world?
EC: Um...can this just be a best AND worst and say Harvie?
SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTION: If you could go on a date with anyone in the world, who would it be, where would you go, what would you eat, what would you drink, and how would it end?
Are you serious, it would be like Angelina Jolie...Oh no, I know what it would be...you ready? Taylor Nystrom. We would, we would go to...her favorite restaurant, we would order her favorite food...and it would end...with us getting married.

Jonathan Warren Parker.
Jonathan Parker, better known as JP, has been a friend of mine for awhile. He is my best friend's brother's best friend, so I've been seeing him ever since he was in high school. He is the lead singer/heartbreaker of Pendleton (http://myspace.com/pendletonpendleton). I also had a streak where I would see him wherever I went. I saw him on four college campuses within two months. JP is always down for fun.

TL: Best or Worst?
JP: Worst.
TL: Worst feeling in the world?
JP: Being in debt...or like, dreading work because your boss hates you.
TL: Worst job you've ever had.
JP: Ukrops cashier. It fucking sucked.
(Long discussion about Ukrops...)
TL: Worst purchase you've ever made?
JP: That old straight edge hoodie that said "Drinking Sucks" on the back. It was like, $25 bucks. That's like two cases of beer.
(Long discussion about the edge...)
TL: Worst time of day?
JP: Uh...depends on the time of year. Like, in the summer time, if it's hot, I hate late afternoons...unless I'm in the shade.
TL: Worst place in the world?
JP: Uh..Darfur or Somalia..or Siberia.
Disappearing Act.
Yesterday, around 1 P.M., I was taking a nap in my dorm room. Alex Ball had left just a few hours before and I was finally catching up on sleep. I woke up to a knock at the door. "Fuck that, I'm not answering it." I thought to myself. Then I heard a key go into the door. This is quite peculiar because 1. the door was unlocked and 2. no one has a key but me. I figured I was dreaming.
A kid who I'm assuming was a fellow first year comes in and sheepishly introduces himself as "JP" and tells me that he is my new roommate. He seems pretty shy but also quite happy to be there. Being the antithesis of a morning person I grumbled a "Nice to meet you," and then told him that he couldn't move in until I had cleaned the room. He told me he had class till 6:30 or so, and "Would that be enough time to clean?" I said "Absolutely," and he left. I went back to sleep.
When I awoke a few hours later, fully energized, I realized I had some serious cleaning to do. I knew this day would come, but I had no idea it would be this abrupt. Combine that with the Hurricane Alex Ball that had wrecked my room the few days prior and I was in for some heavy duty tidying up. I spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning, until my class at 6:30. I also grabbed a bite to eat with my mom, who was in town for a few hours to see a specialized doctor.
So, 6:30 came and went and still no roommate. I went on some adventures that night and returned to my room at 3:00 A.M. Still no roommate. I woke up this morning at 8. No roommate. I went to class, slept through my 2:00 class and he still hadn't arrived. It is now 24 hours after he was supposed to come back and I haven't heard a word. Nothing from my R.A., I haven't seen him around campus, none of his stuff is here. I don't know what to make of it.
I think I might be going crazy.

He told me he had class till 6:30 or so, and "Would that be enough time to clean?" I said "Absolutely," and he left. I went back to sleep.
When I awoke a few hours later, fully energized, I realized I had some serious cleaning to do. I knew this day would come, but I had no idea it would be this abrupt. Combine that with the Hurricane Alex Ball that had wrecked my room the few days prior and I was in for some heavy duty tidying up. I spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning, until my class at 6:30. I also grabbed a bite to eat with my mom, who was in town for a few hours to see a specialized doctor.
So, 6:30 came and went and still no roommate. I went on some adventures that night and returned to my room at 3:00 A.M. Still no roommate. I woke up this morning at 8. No roommate. I went to class, slept through my 2:00 class and he still hadn't arrived. It is now 24 hours after he was supposed to come back and I haven't heard a word. Nothing from my R.A., I haven't seen him around campus, none of his stuff is here. I don't know what to make of it.
I think I might be going crazy.
Having two blogs is annoying.
Any stories, pictures, interviews, etc. will now be posted on this blog.

Nicholet Lee Mitchell.
Nicky and I have been friends since as long as I can remember. Our mom's are good friends too. In middle school, I hung out with Nicky every day and never got tired of her. Thanks to videochatting, we can remain friends while she attends the hell-hole that is the University of Michigan. This interview took place while I was bored in my dorm room and she was bored in a hotel in Chicago.

TL: Best or Worst?
NM: I'm gonna do worst.
TL: Worst feeling?
NM: Feeling completely unwanted.
TL: Worst job you've ever had?
NM: I know! Okay, so my dad used to run this..um.. company where he made sensors for like attention deficit disorder helmets, weird, I know. And my job was to take this like little sensor thing and there was like this container and I had to snap the container down that the sensor went in and it hurt so bad. My thumbs hurt SO BAD.
TL: Worst purchase you've ever made?
NM: Um, University of Michigan? Um...no...I don't know. Gilmore Girls, all six DVD's. I bought them for my mother and she watched them once and ended up loaning them to everyone.
TL: Worst time of day?
NM: Like 4:30 in the afternoon, and its too early to eat anything, you wanna take a nap but you're like "I should be doing something." its just..bad.
TL: Worst place in the world?
NM: Lowell, Massachusetts, ugh it was awful. It was this weird suburban town on the way to Maine and it was just really confusing and we kept getting lost and all I wanted was some Dunkin' Donuts, but for some reason we couldn't find it...Awful.
