Humeur actuelle :  amusé
These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place. (BTW, None of these were in my courtroom.)
ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning? WITNESS: He said, "Where am I, Cathy?" ATTORNEY: And why did that upset you? WITNESS: My name is Susan! ____________________________________________
ATTORNEY: What gear were you in at the moment of the impact? WITNESS: Gucci sweats and Reeboks. ____________________________________________
ATTORNEY: Are you sexually active? WITNESS: No, I just lie there. ____________________________________________
ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory? WITNESS: I forget. ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot? _______________________________________
ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning? WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam? ____________________________________
ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the twenty-year-old, how old is he? WITNESS: He's twenty, much like your IQ. _______________________________________
ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken? WITNESS: Are you s**tting me? _________________________________________
ATTORNEY: So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: And what were you doing at that time? WITNESS: Getting laid ____________________________________________
ATTORNEY: She had three children, right? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: How many were boys? WITNESS: None. ATTORNEY: Were there any girls? WITNESS: Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney? ____________________________________________
ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated? WITNESS: By death. ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated? WITNESS: Take a guess. ___________________________________________ _
ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual? WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard. ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female? WITNESS: Unless the Circus was in town I'm going with male. _____________________________________
ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney? WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work. ______________________________________
ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people? WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight. _______________________________________
ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to? WITNESS: Oral. _________________________________________
ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body? WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m. ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time? WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished. ____________________________________________
ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample? WITNESS: Are you qualified to ask that question? ______________________________________
And the best for last:
ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor? WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

Humeur actuelle :  triste
Have you ever listened to music and remembered who you used to be? I'm uploading all of our CD's to itunes and came across the music I used to listen to, used to love and had an unexpected response to the sounds and lyrics that used to move me. The songs took me back to that dark place in my past and reminded me of the hurt and turmoil I was going through during the last times they were played. I never want to go back to being that person and feeling that pain. Ever. Again. Now I have to figure out if I want to destroy those cd's and try to erase those memories, or keep them and let them be reminders of how lucky I am to be where I'm at...

Humeur actuelle :  plein d’espoir
I figure if I use "goals" instead of "resolutions" they may stick this time :) Last year i vowed to "be the best version of myself". I realize now, that's wayyyy to broad. So this year I'm being specific and only adding items that can be measured as succeed or fail. With that I give you my 2009 goals....
1. No more gossip magazines (i kinda feel bad for celebs and the stalkarazti)
2. Read the newspaper front to back at least once a week.
3. Pay off the Lowes Card (used for the house renovations) and at least one other credit card.
4. Walk 1,000 miles by 12/31/09.
5. Ride (the quad) 150 miles by 12/31/09.
6. Finish my progarm at USD.
7. Start my career in the Legal Field.
I think that's it, I still have a day to add on ;) oh and my new quote....
"The only way to forever is one day at a time."
Have a safe and happy new year!

A HOUSE people, we are not getting married!! Well at least not yet, we will probably eventually get married or we wouldn't be entering into this commitment together, however it is not something that we're currently thinking about. We're always so focused on "whats next" that we rush through lifes moments withouth getting to enjoy them. As soon as someone gets engaged it's "whens the date". As soon as someone gets married it's "when are you having babies". As soon as you have a baby it's "are you ready for another one yet". Today we are enjoying the process of buying our first home, picking out paint colors, cabinets, countertops, thinking about the fire pit in the back yard, deciding if its big enough for our friends to have THEIR wedding reception there! Today we are enjoying today with our 2 dogs, as a boyfriend and girlfriend living in sin ;) Rest assured that you will KNOW if and when any new and exciting steps are taken, in the mean time give a chick a break and StOP ASKInG!!!!

Humeur actuelle :  plein d’espoir
"I know that I will finally find my way back home. Until then I'll roam..."
This has kind of been the theme of my life, I've moved at least once a year since I was 18, I'm 30 now so you can do the math and see that I've been very unsettled for a very long time. In the 2 1/2 years that I've lived in cali I've lived in 4 different places and I'm ready, READY to feel at home. And I finally feel it, like I'm in a place that I'm going to stay, both residentially and more...everyday that passes I feel like this happiness I've got to experience, this calmness, is a new way of life for me rathering than just a passing phase. This segment of my life that i'm living is...real. I've found home in every sense of what that means so FINALLY I feel like I roam no more.

So I'm just about to pack my last box for my latest move and I have to admit that when the prospect of leaving my cute little set up first came about, I was terrified. I love what my lifes become this year and I was extremely nervous of tipping the axis with any sort of change. However in the last couple of weeks the amazing thing called fate has stepped in and reminded me that things do occur for a purpose and I'm finally starting to have faith in that. With the way 2006 started I didn't have a whole lotta hope for things to come but it's turned out to be a life altering year. I met really good people that have turned into really good friends and although I don't see them everyday anymore, I know they're there for me and vice versa and that's what true friendship really is. I reconnected with old friends in North Carolina this summer and honestly had the best vacation of my life, I'll never forget watching that sunrise. I got promoted within a company I am truely thankful everyday to be a part of and love my job, which I never thought was a possibility. I took surfing lessons in the Pacific Ocean, I tried snowboarding, I made it to the top of Blowsand on my first attempt and I fell in love. I found a man who is full of integrity and character, who adds so much to my life and loves me in return completely. And with him came new family and friends that allow me to honestly be myself without regret. I learned that giving up my need for control allows life to happen the way it's meant to. And for the first time in my life, I found myself and didn't try to hide who I found. This past year has been remarkable and I can't imagine that 2007 can top it, but I'm excited to start it in my new home with my new love and see where fate takes me.

I have to say I'm pretty damn happy with my life right now. I live in city that is beautiful and sunny and warm nearly every day and is arguably one of the best places on earth. I have a job I absolutely love. I have a healthy, funny, and caring family. I have a boyfriend that I'm very attracted to and have a blast with. I have friendships that have lasted through time, trauma and distance. My friends back home are just as close and real to me today as they were when I lived back east and I have a new crop of friends that have brought me happiness I haven't had in a very long time. I think I'm currently living the best time of my life, and today I'm remembering how very far I've come and how very lucky I am to be here.
