It's been one hell of a week. I don't really remember what happened, I've been sick like its my job. Okay, so... right now, I am laying down in my bed with various bruises on my hips and right leg, as well as an ace bandage on my right ankle. First, the hip bruises. Let's chalk that one up to a vicious hula hoop... one that is uber weighted and has ridges on the inside... we'll call this the hula hoop of doom. Next? Bruised right leg and bandaged ankle. This one is from playing Ultimate Frisbee today with the GSA. It was super intense... and apparently running on slightly moist grass with bare feet is not so great for the whole idea of balance. But I did make it look good. Hahaha. Right. Oh, and while we're on injuries and maladies, I was dancing in the kitchen with the roommates last night, then all of the sudden I was hunched over the toilet vomiting. Rewind? Yes. So, Wednesday evening after the meeting, some of us decided it would be a fantastic idea to go to IHOP. Neg. I decided that I needed to have strawberry stuffed French toast. I should have known not to go there, it is the IHOP of doom, seeing as how Nicole defiled this very one at some point last semester--by vomiting all over it. Fast forward a bit of time and we're back to the bathroom of our apartment. Never again can I have strawberry stuffed French toast. I'll live.

Longest week of my life...

Somehow, this past week has been the longest one of my life, although I really didn't do anything spectacular, most of it has been spent in my kitchen listening to music or something similar. I slept a lot. On Wednesday, some of the gsa-ers and I went to Detroit to volunteer for the HRC. Good thing they didn't need any help. I did turn into the photographer for the night, which was sweet. I also got to ride down to D-town in a convertible. Sweet as. I saved a life, that was cool. Otherwise, I didn't do much of anything. Last night at approximately 10pm, Nicole taught me how to play soccer. That was pretty amazing, including the portion that went something like this:

While practicing a kick of sorts...

"Nicole, I think I might kick the ball at your face."

"You're not going to kick me in the face, I'll block it--"

POW! As her face is owned by the ball. Queue falling over and laughing hysterically. Quickly followed by Nicole backing up several feet.

I pretty much want to play soccer every day of my life.

Went out to Lil Chef with Jenny, Nicky, Matt & Nicole. Sweet as.

Oh oh oh! I might be interpreting for GSA meetings from now on! I'm stoked. And nervous...

Back to school to prove to dad that I'm not a fool...

Currently listening to: My Paper Heart by The All American Rejects

So I'm back at school... not that that's so exciting, but I'm sure I'll be posting more regularly now. I love my classes, they're amazing, especially my Anthropology class. I'll post my schedule next time I have internet, since my apartment is lacking at the moment.

Happy Birthday Dad! 51... kinda old, eh?

Anyways, I love my roommates, I'm living with Matt, Nicole and KaLee. We're having a wicked good time already and I've only been living there since Sunday. It feels really weird not living with Cat though, kinda sad actually. On the up side, I've been seeing a lot of people that I haven't seen since first semester last year, which is great, I've been giving out hugs like its going out of style. Alright, well I'm sleepy and the lights in the computer lab aren't helping, so I'm going to go to my apartment. Oh and I'm really happy to be away from all of the bullshit going on in NB right now, for sure. One more thing. I got a job! I'm working in the FFC dining commons... I think its the Fresh Food Company... my first day is tomorrow! Woohoo!

Look forward to the next post for the adventure I call going up north...

Unlike other countries, Britain has people of both genders

Ok so my obsession with Little Britain is growing. Here's the first episode:

Part 3:


I made Kent watch it... hopefully he'll share in my love for it :)

A long day...

Today seemed like the never-ending day. First, I woke up around 9:30 to go see a movie with Cat @ 10:40. We saw The Holiday, which I really liked, it was cute. Then we had to run back to my house so she could pick up the DVDs that I burned for her. While home, I realized that Ollie tried to eat our Christmas Tree. That little bitch, she broke the Christmas pickle. Then I took Ollie with me to drop Cat off @ home. Quite soon after that, Scott called, as today was his lesson on how to drive stick. He did pretty well, there were only one or two white knuckle moments. Then I went right to Panera to meet Andy for an early dinner. Good times. Then I came home, put on pajamas and look at me now, I'm in bed and it's only 6:30... Lame. But I feel like absolute crap, so that is a contributing factor, as well as the fact that I have to work in the morning.

Goodnight.

Oh Lately It's So Quiet

Currently listening to: Get Over It by OK GO

Oh shit I'm tired. I think I've slept 4 out of the last 36 hours. Maybe. That's when I was a cranky bitch this morning at work... that and I feel like I might be dying of the flu. Anyways, I apologize to those in my warpath, namely Scotty.

New Years. So my resolutions are as follows:
(1)Be less of a fat kid
(2)Learn how to control my temper and direct that anger into better areas :)
(3)Try not to fuck up the study abroad stuff
(4)End global warming...

That's about it. Last night was fun, although I had a hell of a time trying to stay awake. Work today was okay as well, just long. I really need to figure out how to use my video camera. Stat.

I can't believe it's 2007. I'm going to be 20 this year...

Don't push me because I am close to the edge...

Currently listening to: Defying Gravity by The Wicked Cast

So I just got back from the theater, Scott & I went to see Happy Feet. Cutest damn movie ever. End of story. It seemed like a lot of the really funny stuff went right over the little kids' heads, but it was damn funny. Kinda felt like a dork laughing like an idiot when the little kids are just kind of staring in amazement. Granted you should never put Scott & I together & expect us to behave like normal human beings. Oh, and we saw this lady that we used to work with, Sue, who was a crazy bitch. Anyways, she got fired for "accidentally" leaving a resident outside it the blistering heat for about three hours. Classy lady. I love how the end of the movie has a slightly political tone to it, way to influence the elementary kids.

I want a penguin. A dancing penguin. STAT. Not gonna lie, I think Mumble is the gay penguin. He's so cute, dancing his little heart out. But seriously, he says "Don't ask me to change, because I can't." Just a little gay, no? And the elder penguins are kind of like a religious cult... hmmm...

On to better things. I got my camera today, now I just have the task of figuring out how to use it. That's where my brother comes in handy. I'm going to work tomorrow morning, then I'm rolling out the truffles for Jason & Becky's party while washing my uniform, then I have to stop by Best Buy and pick up a DV tape (no idea what that is, by the way) and maybe a second battery for la camera. Then I'm off to Jason & Becky's... quickly followed by work in the morning. At six-fifteen. Kill me now. I'm pretty sure that I won't be functioning by the time I get to work, but whatev. I'll figure it out.

Oh our dreams are coming true

Currently listening to: Take a guess... Heaven by DJ Sammy

Love the song more than life itself right now, not gonna lie. Fucking A. So I had a really long day, which consisted of not know I had to work. Anyways, I got no sleep, then I went to work @ 6:00am. Then I went to the eye doctor to get new eyes. Awesome. I kinda want blue contacts, but I feel like they're expensive. The girl that was doing my prescription had the weirdest colored eyes, they were something like aquamarine. Anyways, I picked out some pretty good glasses & that's about it. Oh, and a new type of contact lens, called Acuvue: Oasis. They feel pretty good in the eyes, not gonna lie, although they really do nothing for astigmatism. Whatev.

So tomorrow I get to go pick up my puppy from the vet, 'cause she was getting spayed (or neutered... I can never remember which one the girl dog gets). She'll be soooo sleepy. Just like me. I got home from getting my oil changed, then I fell asleep, then I woke up for dinner, then I fell asleep again. Hours later around 11:30, Coop called & woke me up. That slut. And I was in bed... which confused me. Then I ended up calling Cat. Hehe. Funny chain of events to follow.

Tomorrow looks like it's going to be a crazy day, I have to go pick up the pup, then I'm off to go to the mall & Best Buy with mom, then my dad wants me to take him to get contact lenses... then I have to go get coffee with Coop & Maggie. Then Happy Feet with Scott. Woot. I'm pumped.

What's better...

... than sitting @ a computer with you're two best friends making fun of people's myspace pictures? Nothing. Coop & Cat & I did our Christmas exchanges today. Fun stuff. I'm poor, so I made them both scrapbooks. Cat got me two French posters and she made this cute purple stuffed dog with tags on it of flags of the countries I have/will visit. It's adorable. Coop got me a whole bunch of stuff to keep me occupied on the plane to NZ, including an awesome tote complete with my name in ASL, a NZ travel guide + NZ map, 2 crossword puzzle books, a coloring book, stationary, envelopes, pens (with free sample gum) and a globe/pencil sharpener. Awesome. I love my friends.

Still listening to "Heaven" non-stop. Now it's my myspace song. Oh snap.

I worked this morning @ 6:15, but before we get to that, we must back the train up a little bit. First off, my dad came upstairs @ 5:15 to make sure that I had my alarm set and subsequently woke me up out of my sleep. Then he decided that it would be an awesome time to put away dishes, really loudly. So I got up and we got into a little argument. Then I left for work and sat at the 23 Mile/Washington Street traffic light for approximately (a long time) 6 minutes. Both sides got to go twice. I feel like the light might be broken. Anyways, I finally did a backwards U-turn and dodged the giant Christmas tree to go a different way. Fuck trees. I got to work with a minute to spare. I did have a really good day at work though, I was on deserts, which consisted of making muffins for tomorrow morning, dishing out pudding and pulling some strawberries from the freezer for tomorrows lunchtime desert. If I wasn't so bad at focusing at the task at hand, I would have gotten it finished in an hour flat, but I was effing around a lot. After work I went & took care of bank stuff, then went home. Then time passed. Took an amazing bubble bath with effervescing salts. An hour later I went to Starbucks with Coop, then we called Cat on our way home & she met us there to hang out. That's pretty much it.

I lied. So I'm pissed, I was supposed to have New Years Day morning off and work that night... well, I have New Years night off, but I work in the morning. I'm going to go to Jason & Becky's still though, I'm just going to have to drive from Harper Woods to the Village. Stellar.

Baby it's hard to believe... we're in heaven

Currently listening to: Heaven (Techno Mix) by DJ Sammy

Somehow we ended up listening to that song about a million times. Amazing. Anyways, I love it. Then we listened to it in the dish room at work. Now I'm listening to it. Damn.

Scott & I went shopping today at about 7:00am. We went to Meijer & I bought some perfum, then off to Starbucks, Lakeside Mall and Best Buy. I also paid for my video camera! I have to pick it up on Saturday, as they had to order it. It's pretty sweet, not gonna lie, I'm in love with it. I bought a 1gb memory card for it too. Then, on a whim, we went to IKEA and we ate their $.99 breakfast. It was pretty good. I didn't buy anything, but we enjoyed walking around the place for about an hour and a half. Scotty bought... a buffet. HAHA. Ok, so it's a small buffet and it doesn't look like one and apparently it's perfect to fit his TV on AND it was on sale. Good stuff. Stopped @ Walmart before coming home, then I attempted to take a nap. Failed.

Since we both had to work, we decided to get nice & caffeinated, so we went to Starbucks a second time, around 3:30 pm. Awesome. It was delicious. We pretty much were crazy at work and annoyed the hell out of everyone. But we still kicked ass and we were both in the dish room. Heaven was stuck in my head all night. Still is.

I might go see Happy Feet this weekend if it's still in the theater. Hmmmmm.....

My blood is amazing

Currently listening to: The most amazing internet radio ever.

So the most amazing internet radio ever is called Pandora. It's amazing. Why? Because you put in the type of music you like (either a specific song or a band/artist) then it creates a radio station catered to that type of music. And you can add different artists to your station & it becomes kick ass. I've already discovered some hot shit, not gonna lie. Now all I need is for Pandora to stream audio to my mp3 player. Not gonna happen, but maybe one day.

I woke up this morning to Seasons of Love from Rent! playing on my cell phone... but I thought I was dreaming the song, so I slept through it. Then mom called on the house phone. Lame. But she wanted me to come up to her work to donate blood, so I was excited... and that also meant I got to sign with Karen. Woot. So I got to her work around 11:00-ish and we had lunch, then I went to give blood. They did that stupid little spring loaded stab-you-in-the-finger-so-we-can-test-your-blood test, which hurt like a bitch. My iron levels are amazing... but I couldn't give blood because apparently I don't have enough red blood cells. Fuck that, I have good blood. My blood is amazing & I can't even save lives with it. Whatev, I got free American Red Cross shwag... a beanie & a pin. And a voucher for $3.50 for the hospital food court. SCORE. Definitely gave that one to the mom. Then I signed with Karen for about an hour, which was fun, although people in her department were staring like whoa.

Went home, went to the bank with dad, filled out student visa shit, killed the bank. End of story, I pretty much hate the student visa process.

Oh and I kept forgetting that today was Friday... I was still stuck in Thursday, so I forgot that Coop was coming home. She made me be a fat kid and go to Cold Stone for the second time this week... so now it's her fault I'm a fat kid. Good times. Oh and I think Ollie might be a lesbian, she started humping my arm today...

I have to go to sleep so I can wake up for work in the morning. Ugh.

Just days until Christmas...

...and I've not bought any presents yet. I've started making a few... but that's about it. LAME.

I had one of the most mentally challenged days of my life today. And I realized that my friend Sarah reminds me of Karen from Will & Grace. Well the good parts & the crazy laugh. Anyways, back to the day I had. Well I got up @ 4:45 to go pee, then I fell asleep in my mom's bed for half an hour, then got up and took a shower. Then I took another 15 minute nap... then I got up and went to work. Then hell broke loose. First of all, Paul & I were working together & we tend to wreak havoc, especially if we're both in the dish room. Then a kid got fired. Then Paul poured pickled herring juice on my leg... on purpose. Once we got back from the stations, I threw a brussel sprout at his head. He retaliated with chucking breakfast meats at me. Then he decided to take it a step further and put a sausage down the back of my shirt. Interestingly, I had a large, moist piece of cake in my hand... so I smashed it into his ear. It was totally worth not getting any work done today. I got home and took another nap until about 6:30. Later, I went out with Scotty, Sarah, Dana & this Dan kid that works with us to Cold Stone. Fun times.

Now I'm watching Will & Grace. Life is over.

Currently listening to: Into The Ocean by Blue October

So that song is amazing... sounds kinda trippy, but I really like it, I heard it on 96.3 on the way home from Jill & Jen's. I pretty much got nothing accomplished today. I have to go to the bank tomorrow with my dad so that I can get this guarantor form signed for my NZ student Visa. I filled out the form partially... then realized that I wrote 2007 for the current date. Wrong.

We had the work Christmas Party tonight, it actually wasn't bad, I hung out with Scotty and Stephanie Vogel... not gonna lie, people we work with are annoying as hell with a drink or two in them. I pretty much freaked out on the way there, there was a three car accident RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, as in I saw a van fly into oblivion. Needless to say I called the police. Then I called Coop... partly to say hi because we haven't talked in a few days, party to stop freaking out. I'm pumped though, they did a raffle and I won a $25 Target gift card. Way to make my night. After, I went to Jill & Jennifer's to help Jenny figure out how to do ipod things. I kinda suck at it, but I did give them a few thousand songs to start with, so that was cool.

Long day ahead of me

So Jaime Z is my hero. I hope I spelled her name right. She transferred her entire hard drive worth of music to my external hard drive today. Woot. That's like 10,000 songs to add to my 8500, even though I'm sure a lot are doubles. I'm amazed. And uber excited. Ohhh and Bart gave me something awesome, but I can't disclose it because it's a surprise for the mumma. But it's amazing. Think MTV circa 1998. But don't give it away if you figure it out. Also, he gave me a show called "Clone High", which seems really funny.

Tomorrow:
~Breakfast date with Ben @ 10:00
~Meeting with Ana, Denise & Kent @ 10:30
~Lunch with Cat @ 11:30
~Max is helping me pack my car @ 12:00
~Checking out of the dorm @ 1:00
~CDO exam @ 2:00
~Go to parking services after exam to attempt to give back my parking sticker in exchange for money.
~Go home... :( :)

Life is lame.

Merrrpppp

Woody makes (made?) that sound.
H'ok, so... today was craziness. I'm not sure what time I woke up, but I was pretty much tied in a not & Scotty & Leo were sleeping perpendicular to me. I think Melissa had already gone back to her room a few hours earlier, but a few of us definitely camped out in the "living room" Friday night. Awesome.

Anyways, blogger had a seriously awesome update, now I can drag & drop edit the template, which is totally sweet. AND I found a really good replacement for Outlook Express, but it's by Mozilla. Sweet. And free.

Around 3pm I went to the winter E-Board retreat, even though technically I'm not an E-Board member. Good times. My favorite part was the ice-breakers, not gonna lie, I live for those things. I even got to put a puzzle together (with the help of my teammates) with a blindfold on. Awkward.

Then we had our GSA white elephant gift exchange party/dance party because that's what happens when you add me + Kent + 80's music + open floorspace. We have dance parties. Apparently he is the male version of me, which I love. Now I have a female twin (Melissa) and a male twin (Kent). Does that make them twins by proxy? Hmm... I'm interested to see if they would be curiously similar. I ended up with some homemade chocolates & a purple Etch A Sketch... which I think I left in someone's room. Damnit. Then many of us ended up at a sex toy store. Awkward. But it kinda freaked me out. Anyways, it was funny because that's where I ended up saying goodbye to a lot of people at. Hehe. How fitting.

Later I went & hung out with some friends for a few hours too long & now I'm in my bed typing about life. I should go to sleep.

I like the word snarky. And I'm out.

Orgy in 319

So last night was amazing. Scotty came up to visit & we hung out for a while, then Melissa, Max, Leo & Carla came over to play Tourette's with Scott, Cat & I. Awesome, however we did get asked to be quiet... twice. I'm really not proud of that, I've never gotten in trouble, especially for being loud. Meh. At one point, all of us were scrunched up on the floor, tied in knots around each other. I'll post a picture later if they turned out. I'm not gonna lie, I miss working with that boy all the time, but I won't miss it for long, I'm already on the new schedule.

So I'm kinda pissed, I've gotten really close to an awesome group of people... just before I'm ready to leave CMU for the semester. Lame. But I love them :). Melissa & Carla live (or did) in 321, but Melissa moved down to 324 & Carla might be moving into my room with Cat. Max lives down on first floor & Leo is moving into that room. I'm sad that I'm leaving after making amazing friends. :(. Oh, and Melissa is definitely my twin. And we even both did People to People when we were kids... to the UK & Ireland. Woot.

my debut

I love the word flabbergasted, it's really fun to use in a sentence, for example: A man ran down the street naked and I was flabbergasted!
So yeah, last weekend I found out that we're moving to New Mexico in June, (I was flabbergasted) I guess it's kinda cool, but I don't want to leave all my friends behind, who I've gone to Anchor Bay with since Kindergarten. It's gonna be weird, I live in Michigan, which is freezing and New Mexico isn't. Oh and by the way, I have to start senior year at a new school. On to other news, I'm going to the boys swim meet tonight with Catherine and hopefully we'll see some hotties.
