QotD: Happy President’s Day!
Ever run for office? (School, club, organization, politics, etc.) Did you get elected? I was on student council a number of years. This is strange given my absolute lack of school spirit. Stranger yet, though, was that I wore a green horse suit and dressed as Melvin Mustang at basketball and hockey games and wrestling… Continue reading QotD: Happy President’s Day!
Vox Hunt: I See You
Show us your eyeball.Submitted by Cassie. I took a lot of pictures of people's eyes a few years back — which is when I snapped these images. The first eye is my own, seemingly without mascara (a rarity). The second is Jack's of Schulze and Webb. He has brilliant, piercing blue eyes. When I played… Continue reading Vox Hunt: I See You

It may turn to… Continue reading Unknown preciptation

QotD: Next On My Itinerary
What's the next country you want to visit? Submitted by Schomer. Where do I not want to go? For one, I want to go back to India. That's where I spent the summer (which you may not know if you didn't know me pre-Vox) and I loved it. I was in Bangalore and it kills… Continue reading QotD: Next On My Itinerary
QotD: It’s Like Riding A Bike
Who taught you how to ride a bike? It's less a matter of learning and more a matter of when I first got the hang of it. My parents both taught me in the usual way. My red-white-and-blue bike, bought when I was 4, came from Sears. It ran out of oil and sounded like… Continue reading QotD: It’s Like Riding A Bike
