Yeah Super Mario 3 !!!!



I love super mario 3... it is the absolute best one & Cat and I just played it for like an hour and a half. It was hot and sexy. Soo... yeah, not much going on, I do have a fun picture to though. Umm... today, I'm going home around 4 o'clock... YESS!! Fried Chicken tonight! I'm so excited for home cooking. I have absolutely no homework this weekend, just a little bit of studying to do for some tests next week, but that shouldn't be so bad. I've finally got my meal plan down to a science, I know exactly when I can and cannot eat so I have the right amount for the week. It's very exciting.

Did anyone notice that it was so damn cold last night? I slept like a rock, apparently I was out at 12:20 when Cat got outta the shower and I didn't get up till about 9:30, so it was a good sleep. I'm really excited to go home and do laundry too, I've been saving up all week for it.

Oh, the absolute best way to spend a morning is playing hardcore Super Mario for a good hour and a half, I love that game more than I love life itself, it's so engaging, although I do get scared when I'm getting chased by those damn little ghosts with teeth, those are frightening. A few people stopped in our room just because they heard the familiar Mario music, it was quite fun. Well... I eventually have to get dressed and now is as good a time as ever, so I'll have to talk at y'all later. Big kisses.

Hmm...

Well, last night, we tried to watch Sling Blade, one of my all time favorite movies... but then I turned it off to watch MTV's Sweet Sixteen show, which has these completely obnoxious people, usually girls, whoring it up for their sweet sixteen, where at least a few thousand dollars are thrown into, if not more, I'm sure every one of them could pay off my tuition for the next 7 years and still have enough money for a kick ass party. Those whorey assed bitches. <-- Exceeds the swearing quota, eh?

Today was special, as usual, I was up at 7 and I ate the last of my Golden Grahams. They were delicious. Then I went to Economics, which I hate with a passion. Duh. It was boring, as usual. Then I went to French and we pretty much discussed, in French of course, all of the stories that we've read so far. I love that class. In Ms. B's class, not that I didn't love it, because Cooper would hit me real hard if I said that, but we didn't learn any French, we did like one story per year, whereas in this class, we've already read like ten. Then I came home and we had lunch. Beautiful. Then off to my favorite class, ASL. Today, we discussed, in detail, the film that I was talking about in my previous post. It was quite a discussion, let me tell you.

I'm feeling very odd today... I've been super giggly all the damn day. It's probably as strange to experience as it is to watch. I dunno, ask Cat, she caught the wrath of the giggles today. Tonight is Tourettes and Survivor in 117 with Courtney, Amanda & Lia. Should be a fun time. I'm gonna do all of my homework tonight and tomorrow until 2 so that once we are done with HON 100B, we can leave and be home by 7-ish. Whoopie. I'm excited to go home. Gotta get more cereal. I need more cereal. I cannot live without more cereal. I'm really tired right now, it's like I'm having a sugar crash, super happy, then super tired within minutes. Its pathetic, really.

I have nothing all that interesting to say... Oh! I do! I went to my first GSA meeting ( I'm a straight ally babes, sorry ) I know y'all want me. Anyways, I really like the group of people that I hung out with, and I kinda knew a few of the people before I joined, and there's this really nice guy from my French class there, he's a sweetie. We went sidewalk chalking last night and it was fun, but I had to be alone for a little bit, so I called Cat to come keep me company and help me out. My awesome 12 year old cousin Trevor did something so cute last night though, first off, he kept calling me during the meeting, so I called him after, he thought that something was wrong with our nana because she wasn't answering her phone, turns out she lost it. Anyhoo, I told him that I was outside (it was about 10:00 pm), and he was like "ARE YOU ALONE???" and I told him I was, but Cat was coming to keep me company, then he was like "Is it a well lit area?" and I told him it was and he was all gruff and said "good". Needless to say, we stayed on the phone until Cat came to rescue me. It was so cute.

Aight, I gotta go, got some last minute stuff to do before Tourettes! I know, you're jealous. But don't fret, we'll have a Rocky/Tourettes party either on Thanksgiving or Christmas break, or both... something to look forward to, eh? Okie dokie, I'm gonna get offline now, I'm tired of vegging on the computer. I'll give ya a big ole smooch when I see ya.

I-N-F-U-R-I-A-T-I-N-G

I've fallen absolutely head over heels for that damn VJ day picture of the strangers smoochin'. I don't know why, but now its popping up everywhere. Yay. Yesterday, I forgot to post and I apologize sincerely, but I was a busy one. Let's see... I awoke around 7 o'clock to go to Economics, which I'm sure I forgot to mention that I hate that class... with a burning passion. Then I came home for two minutes, I had to go take care of my damn financial aid, they were trying to overcharge me by about 1200 dollars. Eff that. (Yes Cooper, I stole "eff"... I'm trying to at least cut down on the swearing in the blog.) Then I went to Francias, which was pleasant as always, we spoke a little French, got a little confused & I finally remembered the name of the girl that I sit next to every morning.

ASL was completely infuriating. We watched this film "For My Deaf Son". It was absolute crap. These parents couldn't decide whether or not to teach this kid sign language or oralism, so at the age of four, he could barely communicate beyond yelling and very fragmented phrases. They were so freakin' selfish, it was disgusting. The mom didn't want to teach the kid sign language because she wanted to teach him English, but he can't really understand what people are saying because his hearing aid doesn't unscramble the words. So the kid knows barely any sign language and barely any English, so he can barely communicate. ARGH!!! You'd think that these parents would at least teach him sign language to begin with so that he could have a base of a language.

I have to go to class now, I'll post more laters.

Yeah! I Changed The Boring Blog!

I know, I'm awesome. I really love that picture, I read something about it a few weeks ago in The Week magazine and bam! I love it. Anyhoo, today was pretty much the usual, boring-ish, but tolerable all the same. Gerontology is a very enjoyable class. This teacher is completely insane. I don't know if I've mentioned, but I absolutely love my Psychology class, it is pretty much the most interesting thing ever. We have the most insightful discussions in that class, like what is consciousness. Its so damn cool.

I went to the SAC again tonight, I keep loving it more and more. I think I finally figured out what runners high was, because I didn't wanna stop tonight. I ran 4.3 miles in 45 minutes... and I'm so proud of myself, it's disgusting. But that's a step up from barely being able to run a mile, I figured it out though, I can't run outside because of the allergens in the air, ie my stupid grass and tree allergy. But inside, its all good. I'm so happy, I wanna work up to ten miles, I know it sounds crazy, but I think I can do it.

I have to go do my French homework. Goodnight my loves.

I <3 The SAC

I've fallen madly in love with the SAC. I wanna be there all the time. Yesterday I ran a mile and biked five miles, then I just did some strength training. Yeah, I know running a mile is nothing special, but I'm proud of myself, I'm not much of a runner. I found a couple of machines that I'm absolutely loving, they're mostly for working your legs, but there's this one that's really cool, I can't describe it though. Anyhoo, yesterday, I woke up and went to breakfast, then came home and studied, I accidentally fell asleep, but only for an hour and a half ;). I got back to the studying, so all I have to do today is read a little more psychology, a quick french exercize and I'll probably end up doing some med terms work. I can name all of the abdominopelvic regions! Right Hypochondriac, Epigastric, Left Hypochondriac, Right Lumbar, Umbilical, Left Lumbar, Right Iliac, Hypogastric, Left Iliac! Yess! I totally win at life.

I might do some laundry today, it seems like a good idea. I'll prolly end up going back to the SAC today as well, there's prolly not a lot of people there on Sundays. The first swing dancing lesson is today too! I'm so excited. OH! I have to return Meet Joe Black too. Well, I get to leave campus today! That's an exciting development. Well, I'm off to study psych. Yay.

Aww...damn, I just remembered that it was September 11.

Blubbering FOOLS

Yesterday was quite an interesting day, lemme tell you. I got up around 9 and went down to breakfast with Cat and Lia, which was delightful, as always. Then I came home and took a shower and went to Gerontology. Here's a quote from Prof. Malonebeach, pretending that she was an elderly man visiting his doctor:

"I can't have sex with my wife anymore because my little teeny peeny is teeny!"

So, anyways, after Gerontology, we went to lunch and then off to the Honors Convocation, where yes, I was wore a skirt. And then we had to sit in the grass, combine that with a white skirt and an allergy to grass, and you have quite an experience. But I enjoyed myself, there's a guy in my group who's from Fair Haven and he seems pretty cool. After the Honors thing, I hung out in the dorm for a while, getting homework and studying done. Which I still have more to do today and tomorrow. I hung out with Amanda & Courtney downstairs a little, then went back and watched The Notebook with them around nine. It was an absolute mess. We were crying like wounded puppies, but whenever Courtney would start crying, she would get really loud, so Amanda and I would start laughing whilst crying. I kinda wish someone woulda seen that one, it was beautiful. I hung around there for a bit and we laughed our asses off until about 12:00, when I decided that I needed to go to bed, because I was laughing like I do when I get really tired and I had the most enormous headache that you could imagine.

Today I'm gonna study, probably talk online for a little bit and get my rear end over to the SAC to work out. Leave me some saucy lovin'.


Friday, September 9, 2005

Well... Last night was an interesting one. Lauren Irwin came over and told us scary things about New Baltimore that makes me not wanna go home again and furthermore I don't ever wanna see the film they make about Morrow Road... Seems a wee bit to scary for me. Anyhoo, yesterday was a crazy one, let me tell you. I went to class and fell asleep in economics because I was so damn tired, I was writing notes and fell asleep in the middle of a word, I was rubber necking it throughout the entire class. French was marginally better, no sleepies. ASL was good as ever, we did pantomime, which was a lot of fun.

Around 4 yesterday, Lia called with the realization that we had a film review for gerontology and it was due this morning at 11:00. So we dashed up to the video store and rented Meet Joe Black for 50 cents. It was a really long movie and I cried because the ending was sad. Then Cat and I watched Fried Green Tomatoes because its the best movie ever. In the whole world. And I turned Cat into a Fried Green Tomatoes lover. Yay.

Now it is time to shower, so while I'm gone, ponder just how awesome I am.

Thursday, September 8, 2005

...

I am so fucking tired right now, I don't feel as if I can drag my ass across the parking lot and into my seat in economics. Mother fucker. I wanna nap, real bad.

Spreading The Love

I got a 100% on my test! I win at life. Anyways, about Tourettes, the way I see it is if everyone who knows how to play, teaches a group of their friends how to play and so on and so forth, the entire world will know how to play it in a generation or two. I want to spread the immense joy of Tourettes, its the biggest stress reliever that I can think of. And when I say people should teach others how to play, I mean you people at different schools, so we can all spread the joy. This means you, Cooper, teach all of your NY friends how to play... they'll like it. Then it will be famous... I know it. Wow... I love that game, its a scary obsession.

Okay, done with that tangent. I just wanna thank Jill & Ferzy for coming up and doing the futon and shopping and the casino, it was a blast. Oh!!! I got your card today, Unka! It was pretty cute...and pink... that's the only way to a girls heart is pink... atleast this girl's heart. I love pink.

Goooooooooooooooooooood Night!

Tourettes, coming to a dorm near you...

Okay, we introduced Tourettes to our roommates and Lia's roommates tonight. It was awesome. And we played with the door open because we are rabble rousers. It was a fucking blast... I know you're all jealous, but it can't be helped. Today was rather uneventful, went to classes then to the SAC to work my fat ass out. It was schweaty, but boy did it feel good. I think I wanna live at the SAC, its so great.

I'm gonna take a med terms quiz online, then I'll post more. Wish me luck.

It's been a good few days, we got back Monday night and Cat threw a mini surprise birthday party for me! We had cupcakes, which were delicious (Thank's Cat's mom). Cat got me this AWESOME closet shelfy thing & some little storage boxes, where I keep my drugs. Lia got me a cute backpack thing too.

Well, classes yesterday were fine, then around 3, Jill & Jenny came up with the futon & I helped them put it together. Then we went to Target & Walmart to get crates & stuff, then off to the casino to eat and lose my ass gambling. The food was okay, I'm just not a buffet person. Then I played quarter slots with Aunt Jill's money for a few hours, won some, lost a lot. It was good, it just proved to me that I never ever want to enter a casino again.

I got home and felt like fuck, I had been inhaling smoke and old people for hours on end, I smelled like a vanilla cigar. It was nasty. I felt like I was gonna hurl, but I didn't. I put up the crate/shelves & they look hot. Then I showered my stinky cigar flavored ass and went to the hall council meeting. It was boring as fuck, but I'll probably go every week. Then I came home and talked online while rearranging my crap onto the shelves. It was good for me. I finally went to bed around 12:20. This morning I woke up, brushed my teeth and went to breakfast and now I'm sitting here relaying my life's events to you fine people. Later my loves.

Sunday, September 4, 2005

Well, as y'all know, yesterday was my birthday... but it was just pretty much any other day, I went shopping with my mom & stuff. I didn't even do anything that you can't do until you're 18. I will though, I swear. We stopped at Jill's house & that was fun, then we got home and Jake & Becky were there. Jason got me a really funny Harry Potter shirt, that only Harry Potter fans would appreciate. It says "Dumbledore dies on page 596". Only a true nerd would get it. Umm... Last night, Ashley Ellerbe & I went to Starbucks. It was delicious.

Oh! Thanks to everyone who called/messaged me with happy birthday, it really did make my day :) :) :) When I typed messaged, it reminded me of massaged, which reminded me of a sensual massage. Someone try to figure out my brain.

Anyhoo... I've got a lot of shit to do, so I'll be going now.

Hola mis amigos

I recently (2 seconds ago) realized how to turn the comments back on, so you all better start leaving them, I'd feel very bad about myself if I didn't get any. I'm sitting in my living room, in the big NB, bored shitless. Well, I'm watching Six Feet Under and bored shitless. It is a delicious show. And I can't fall asleep because I'm excited, I turn 18 in about 15 minutes! Woot! But I'm not doing anything for my birthday because I'm a loser, I do get to see my brother tomorrow, which I'm excited about, since I haven't seen him in at least a good month or so.

Cat and I made the 3 hour-ish trek home today, stopping for 10 minutes at Birch Run so I could get a back pack for cheap. It's sexy & green. I don't understand why I all the sudden like green, but I do... a lot. Anyways, I gouged my finger on my cell phone holder thing and a nice chunk of skin fell off... it was only a few minutes from home though. Got home around 4. It was sexy, I immediately left and went to Selfridge with Nana and my mom. That was good fun. I saw an awesomely named cereal there, "Mini Frosted Spooners", which prompted me to call Cooper because we have a running spooning joke. You wouldn't understand. Sorry.

Anyhoo, I got some cereal, granola bars, dish soap, tampons, white out and other random junk. It was a good trip to the base. I heart tax free shopping. Oh, by the way, I want to marry Birch Run. It's simply unbelievable. Everything is constantly on sale.

I gotta go to the village this weekend to start a series of interviews with a person over 70 for my gerontology class and I know just the right person to interview, she's my favorite resident and has an interesting perspective on life. I'll prolly do that tomorrow over a nice cuppa Timmy's.

I have so much shit to do in this almost 4 day weekend. We coulda been home yesterday around 7 pm, but I had a gerontology class today from 11:00 until 11:50, I had to stay for a 50 minute class, which I could have completely blown off, but didn't because I paid for it. Damnit. I assume that I will blow it off occasionally, but only to get home to do an interview, so it is an acceptable reason. I swear its a good reason, don't pick on me.

I came home to 6 CDs that I had ordered offa BMG, they're tres sexy: Kelley Clarkston -- Breakaway, Modest Mouse -- Good News For People Who Love Bad News, Lifehouse -- Lifehouse, Counting Crows -- Films About Ghosts, Graham Colton Band -- Drive, & Fall Out Boy -- From Under The Cork Tree. Wooooooooooooooot. That's sexy, the only unsexy thing is that I have to bring them back up to school to put them on my laptop, which I really don't want to do, but I'll live. I just see myself losing the CDs... and I don't wanna, I love CDs. Speaking of, I have a whole bunch of CDs to put on my computer still, maybe I'll bring them all up this time and hide them in my trunk so I can't lose them. Maybe.

I have to remember to bring a cable splitter and a long cable cord up to school. Maybe if I put it on my blog, someone will remind me to do it. Oh! Jill & Jenny are coming up to Mt. Pleasant on Tuesday ( I could say just to visit me, because I'm awesome, but they're up for the casino). It should be a spectacular time, I get to go play the quarter slots! I also have to register to vote, which I'm uber excited about.

One last thing: Do not let boys come into your room to use your toilet, they WILL poop in it. No matter what. Especially the ever odd Donny Reinhard. The room smelled for an hour. And I'm out.

Ugh... Rabbit Rabbit!

Oy freaking vey, I'm tired and its only 2:25, but I started at 7:00 this morning. I still stand by the idea that macroeconomics is boring as all hell. It sucks ass. But I'm done with classes by 2, and I have breaks in between, so it doesn't suck that much. I'm definitely in love with the Gorillaz right now. They're sexy... speaking of, I forgot to get Cooper to send me the song "Feel Good Inc." I love it... but I swore that I wouldn't make her send me anything else.

Yay, I'm coming home this weekend... and I'm so watching the entire 4th season of Six Feet Under with my mom and dad. I love that show. It's ultimately sexy.

My mom called my cell when I was in the middle of Economics class today. She sucks. And she didn't even call for anything important, just to rabbit rabbit me. Don't even ask what it is, if you know, you know, if you don't, you're not missing anything. Damn Ms. Vloet. Rabbit Rabbit kinda sounds like Rabid Rabbi. Which could be a little un-kosher, if you know what I mean.

It makes me mad when people drive to class. Argh, they're dumb.

Long day #2

Well, this morning at 7, Cat and I went down to breakfast and then I went to Principles Of Macroeconomics. That class seems very boring. End of story. The teacher admitted to giving a shitload of notes on things that weren't very important. I'm so excited. Then I went to French at 10. I understood a little bit today, but the homework tonight took a long time, Ms. B never emphasized being able to read stories that were grammatically correct...that slut. But I got it done eventually. I had my first ASL class today. It's fucking awesome. It is so damn cool, I can't even believe it. We sit in a circle and aren't allowed to talk, we just have to learn by immersion. YUSS!

So, I got home today around 2 and had the worst fucking headache that I've had in a while, it was one of those that if I was in a bad mood, it would've made me cry because it hurt so bad. So I started reading my psych chapter for tomorrows class, then on page 9, I fell asleep. Apparently Cat thinks its very funny when people fall asleep with books in their hands, because she gave me a very spirited view of what I was doing whilst being asleep. I woke up and the book was still in my hand AND my headache was gone. I read the rest of the chapter and then nerdily did all the review questions because I plan on acing this course. I really really hope that I do. Its sa-weet.

OH! We went down to the absolute farthest point from our dorms today, the intramural baseball fields, for a Program Board party, to get introduced to everyone. It was a lot of fun and we played extreme kickball. Its a good game, I made an out! Yeah, I know you're jealous of my enormous ball catching skills. The meetings are every Tuesday at 8 o'clock, I'm so joining. It's gonna rock my freakin' socks. I love the high intensity of it all, its like WHOA! I love it...did I mention that I love it? Because I really do love it. Speaking of RSO's (student orgs), I'm not entirely positive which ones I'm joining yet, but I'm positive about this one and the Gay-Straight Alliance, because there's just not enough people that love gay people like I do. But seriously, I just want to help spread the equality, especially since I know so many gay/bi people & love them to pieces. I would really like to join the S.A.P.A group, which is a kind of crisis line for rape victims, but I don't trust myself not to go out and kick every one's ass who does something bad. I think it would be a good idea to join hall council, it might give me a good chance of getting to be an RA next year. Hmm... could I be any more school spirited?

Sam has left the building.

I lied, I lied... I LIED, okay, you caught me

Okay, so I know I was supposed to post yesterday, it just turned into a long day and I didn't get a chance. Let's see.. I had my first French class, which was okay, I understood the teacher, but not completely. Then I had Gerontology... All I can say is j'aime the class is awesome, the teacher is mildly new age, but she's cool and the class is gonna be awesome. Lastly, I have Intro to Psychology honors. I love it. Yay. It's gonna be super cool. The teacher has got to be like 30, tops. Its gonna be awesome.

So I get home yesterday and Cat is freaking out about her Calc II class because it isn't what she thought it would be, so I calmly told her to "Calm The Fuck Down" and she switched into my Intro To Psych class instead, which she's a lot happier with... and now I have a psych buddy. Yay. Umm... I have ten minutes to get from one end of campus to the other end between French & Gerontology. I'm not at all excited about that, it's about a 9.5 minute walk, so I'm really pushing it. I got there right on time yesterday. It should be a good class though.

Then, last night, we had a dumb Larzelere Hall meeting. And we had to leave the dorm to go to it. How much sense does that make? NONE. Anyways, it was boring and we came home and went to bed. How much fun.

Cat just humped her bed.

Oh My Effing God...

It was an interesting day. It started with waking up around 8:30 and fucking around on my computer with pictures... by the way, I uploaded a lot today on webshots, but I had to create an overflow album to store the rest, so it's under scutta33... I know, original. Anyhoo, we went rollerblading for a bit, then came back and had brunch with Ben, just a nice guy that we kept running into. It was good fun, he's a centralis freshman... that's awesome, that means full tuition and room & board paid for. Damn. Then we wasted time for a few hours and went to Mainstage. It's super fun. I'm planning on joining a few clubs, namely S.A.P.A, GSA, a volunteer program and Program Board. Which sounds like quite a load, but really isn't.

Well, at mainstage, we went on the scrambler, then we made the fatefull decision to go in a vat of bubbles. Let's just say they don't taste that good. I got tackled quite a few times, let me tell you. By 6:30, I was bubblicious. Lia drove us back to the dorm and we took lightening fast showers and shot back up there to get to the Bowling For Soup concert. We got there and another band, Changes, was playing. They played until 8, then around 8:30, Bowling For Soup came on. I went and talked to one of the girls who was working for Program Board, the group that put the show on. Half an hour later, the chairperson came up to me and asked if I wanted to start today & work backstage. Whoa! Hell yes I will work backstage. So I was on gate duty, which means you open the gate for asshole crowd surfers to get back into the crowd. This one guy escaped from some of our people and got onstage, then he accidentally hit the chairgirl that I was talking to, in the nose, so as I was ushering him outta the gate, I gave him a little help getting out, ie a nice punch square in the kidney. And yes, it was good for me.

So, after the show, we stuck around and eventually met and got autographs from the entire band. It was awesome. All four signatures on a dollar bill because I had nothing else to get them on. Fucking stupendous night.

Well, I started the day by making sun tea... mom'll be proud of that one. Anyhoo, we were supposed to play laser tag yesterday night, but it turned out to be inside a little dome, so we opted out and took a campus wide walk, realizing that the campus itself isn't as gigantic as it seems. Oh, and I talked to everyone on the phone yesterday... I'm turning into quite a talker. Shut up, I know I already am... just not on the phone. Yesterday, in my free time I finally got around to naming all of my pictures on my computer, I have over a thousand pictures ;) Yay, I love pictures... I'll prolly update them on webshots today, that way everyone else can love them too. The pictures link on the left is for webshots.

I'm definitely listening to an awesome playlist right now:
This Is How A Heart Breaks, Rob Thomas
Boulevard Of Broken Dreams, Green Day
Stand By Me, John Lennon
Lonely No More, Rob Thomas
Gracie, Ben Folds
Sitting, Waiting, Wishing, Jack Johnson
Float On, Modest Mouse
Good Riddance, Green Day
Hollywood, Los Lonely Boys
Somewhere In Between, Lifehouse

It's completely awesome... I'm gonna have to send you another CD, Bean, I just got a few more and I should be getting a few more next week sometime, it'll be awesome. Hmm... Unka Bill.. Let me know if you want me to send you a CD, I made one for Aunt Jill and she really liked it, so... yeah, anyways, I gotta go be productive now, no more posting. Love ya much.

My new address & telly phone

I can't remember if I posted this or not, so I'll do it again because I'm awesome:

Larzelere 319
303 W. Bellows St
Mt. Pleasant, MI 48858

& my phone # is 989.774.5556 & my cell # is 586.291.0751

Hey hey hey

Okay, I'm up at CMU now... I just haven't had time to post yet. But I have time now, so here you go. Got up here on Thursday afternoon and Cat and I finally got the room the way we wanted it, its set up really cool, I love it, we actually have room to move. Oh, and you'll all be proud to hear that I'm turning into my mother, in the last 2 days, I have brewed 2 pitchers of sun tea. I know, I'm awesome.

Oh...and oddly enough, I'm not homesick at all. I mean, yeah I miss my parents & Jake and a few select people, but I kinda thrive on new things, so I guess this is my bag, baby. I am happy that I have the internet & a cell though, keepin' me connected.

I'm really excited to get involved on campus with volunteering and the like, there's this one group in particular that I want to get involved with, called S.A.P.A., which is Sexual Agression Peer Advocates, which has a lot to do with rape and the like, it's something I feel really strongly about.

And now that I'm actually here, I have know idea what I want to do with my life, I know the medical field is where I want to be, but I'm just not sure what I want to be doing in it, so yeah, I'm going completely insane.

Grocery list:
milk crates & plastic ties
paper towels
butter
kleenex

I swear, I'm the college student without food, I have a loaf of bread (and an illegal toaster, shh), a box of cheeze-its, a box of lipton tea, a bag of Splenda, 6 yogurt cups and a bottle of lemon juice. Yummm...

Duuuuuude...

I hung out with Ashley Ellerbe tonight, she's my Starbucks buddy. We walked around Target for a while and I got the Target CD...I know, its pathetic, but there's a lot of good songs on it, and it was only $5.99, so I don't feel like a complete failure. I also bought hangers...I forgot I needed them.

Argh...I hate dating commercials, they're so dumb.

I am mentally retarded

Okay, remember how I was gonna get an oil change today? Well, I forgot. I had a good day though, I woke up late, had a shower, then went to Poncho's with coach. It was a nice meal...but we both cried when I left. It was really sad. For some reason, it is very hard to watch someone you care about cry, ever experience that? ;) Then I went to Target to get a sports bra, which I also didn't get, instead I got a new purse. I like it. But I still need a sports bra. Damnit. Today, I'm gonna get all packed up and continue tomorrow, late into the night, I'm sure. Tomorrow I'm going out to lunch with Coop and gotta say goodbye to her...which sucks. But I'm sure it'll be fun anyways...and I might drag her along to get my oil changed because I keep forgetting to do it. Maybe she won't noticed that I typed that. Oh! No one is gonna notice, but I got about an inch of my hair chopped off, I had to get rid of the split ends, the dumb lady took off a little too much, but it still looks exactly the same. Anyhoo, gotta go pee then get packing. Love y'alls.

2 Days Left At Home

Woah...time flies, eh? No Cooper, I didn't say "eh" for your benefit...but I am talking to you at the moment, so maybe I did. Well...I forgot to get an oil change today. I don't know how I forgot, but I did...I did get Will & Grace season 4 on dvd today. I will excitedly watch that. I've got an easy schedule tomorrow...I have to run to the high school and have them fax my transcript (I kinda wanna call it a tranny...and I don't know why) to CMU so that I can be registered again. Then I'm going to lunch with coach. Then I will try to remember to get an oil change. So if anyone wants to hang out, gimme a call/message and we'll hang.

And maybe your glamour's not in Boston,
But my friends are fucking awesome,
And we'll keep on doing our best,
Even though our lives are a mess,

LAX -- Big D & The Kids Table

I'm freaking out about my major... the more I think about it, the more I don't know what the hell I want to do... I've always had biomedical researching stuck in my head and damn... it won't leave me alone.

cont'd...

Okay, I'm completely surprised that we didn't get a million quotes the other night (I didn't do them), but we did get a few, and here they are:

Nice jugs -- Cooper to Cat...hey, if you've got 'em, flaunt 'em

I can show you where to put that -- me, Cat stuck her tongue out at me...and I don't take kindly to it

My m.o. is sexy -- Cooper... yes ma'am

It's not a sexy flick, it's porn, own up to it, stupid! -- Moi...blame Cosmo...and we weren't watching porn ;)

There's no right way to scratch your butt crack -- Cooper...a truer word was never spoken

Okay, so that was it. I know, don' t yell at me. So, yesterday I finally was aloud to go to sleep around 11:30 and I did so until 3:30. It was gooood, sometimes you need to sleep. Although I only got four hours. Then I did laundry until 5:30 and then went to hang out with Stephanie at the beach. Cooper showed up and we all hung out until 7:00, when Steph and I went to play tennis. We both suck, royally. I did use to be really good, I beat my gym teacher, Ms. Gernburg a few times in tennis camp...the only person I can remember being in tennis camp with me is Max Beaver, weird.

Ugh...I have so much to do this week. Today should be interesting, I have to shop for me, grocery shop for my parents, get an oil change and I resheduled going out to lunch with coach, so I might do that today too. Wuuuuuuf.

I Love Rocky Parties

I had so much God damn fun yesterday. It was supremely awesome. First, we went to Mrs. Dawes' to visit, which is as fun as it can be with an elderly woman. She's so sweet though. And I found out that her great grandson, a kid that I grew up with, is now a professional dancer and he got an awesome fucking job as a dancer on Carribean cruises. Oh, and he's only as old as I am, but that is such an awesome experience...and he's such a cutie. Then my mom and I went to the mall and she got me some delicious soap for school, it smells like Vitabath, but costs a lot less per ounce than that...vitabath costs like $1 per ounce, this stuff is so much cheaper. Oh and I got a new shirt and some new pajamas.

Then I went with Amy and Kelley to Andy's party thing. It was okay, but I knew no one there. Then we went to Kroger and stuff. Good times.

People started showing up at like 8...and didn't stop until about 2 when Steph showed up. She only stayed for an hour though. I had Amy, Kelley, Michelle, Cooper & Cat spending the night and we had a blast. We watched Rocky Horror...and made a quick run to Kroger to get Cosmo. We read that aloud whilst watching Rocky Horror. That was like the sauciest 2 hours of my life. Maybe not, but close. Then we attempted to play Tourrettes...but we were all slap happy and couldn't concentrate. I was in one of those giggly pathetic moods and I kept getting the hiccups. So we all chilled out and talked for a bit, then Steph finally called us to make us let her in because she was throwing pebbles at my window to get our attention, but we were too loud. We chilled out for another hour with her, then she left because she actually had to work this morning. Everyone started dropping off around 3 ish, and everyone but me & Cooper were asleep by 4. We didn't go to sleep. It was awesome, we talked until about 8 or 9 am. It was good, as always. We're nearly the same damn person, its scary. See how that works? We start to be really good friends, THEN WE HAVE TO GO TO COLLEGE. God damn it. Will post my quotes later. Hugs and kisses, you saucy minxes.

Cooper, you have to stop keeping me up so late, I'm dead now.

My oh my, I'm tired. I think I had the longest conversations of my life last night with Cooper. And yes, it was good for me. Haha. Okay, Doris, who has no tact what so ever, just farted and is now chasing her tail. Fucking freak. If I farted (which I don't because girls don't fart) I sure as hell wouldn't be chasing my own tail...or ass if you will.

I am so damn busy today, I have to get my room back in order. Now! No dickin' around about that, having a Rocky party tomorrow and it has to be good, so there.

Is it strange that I actually enjoy mowing the lawn?

I did that today, it's always fun to do, but only if I have music to listen to. I have to go through all of my shit to see what I can bring to college, what I can leave at home and what I can throw away. I love doing that, I just can't get around to it. I've been doing laundry all day long, somehow, I'm enjoying that too...someone take my temperature, I think I'm sick.

Oh! I got a notice from CMU that they didn't recieve my high school transcript yet...excuse me, I sent that a week after school got out and they wait until one week before I start school? Crackheads. So I'm gonna have to go to the high school tomorrow so they can fax one over. I think I'm going to lunch with coach tomorrow, I'm excited, he's always fun to be around...and he's my mom. I have so many moms. Well, my mom, Kasy and Coach. But that's more than the average bear, let me tell you.

I'm a dumbass, yesterday, I went to the post office and saw Maggie's grandma there, then two seconds later, I stubbed my toe on a parking block. It really hurt. Ouch. Oh!! My dad got the day off of work to move me in, as much as I would have loved Kasy and Amanda to do it (and it would've been way more fun) its kinda for my dad to do.

What's the dumbest way to burn yourself?

a) on the oven
b) curling your hair
c) dropping a boiling hot macaroni noodle on your hand

The answer is "C". Needles to say, I burnt the hell out of my hand on a macaroni noodle. What kind of retard is that? I dunno. But it did hurt. And I have a noodle shaped burn on my hand. My mom is gonna laugh at me. Today, I have to go to the bank to find out about student loans, then I have to go to work for something.

Oh, I talked to Cat today and it seems that the student is becoming the teacher, all she can do now is make fun of ME! Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? That's how our disfunctional friendship works. Oh...and I bought three pairs of PINK boys' boxers yesterday for about 6 dollars. Why they are pink is beyond me, but I'm not complaining, they were on sale.

Wuuuff...this weekend has been longer than most

Well, I'm watching the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. It's always a special time.

"It's like making a frog stand up and put on a pair of double knit pants"

Friday night, I went to Gia's going away party...and had an okay time, minus the non-stop game of "Lets make Sam drink". I was the only underage person at this bar/steakhouse. At one point, I got cornered in the bathroom and was told that I couldn't leave until I had a sip of her beer. I didn't, 'cause I have this little thing called self control. The highlight of the evening was one of this girls I was driving home (I was a dd) helped my boss steal a sign that said something about booty, from the bar. It was a special time. I finally got home around one o'clock. And woke up after three hours of sleep to go to work. I made up for it last nigh though, I fell asleep at eight and woke up at 5:30. Today was just another day of work, how fun. I've done absolutely nothing, except talk to Maggie for a few minutes online and to Andy for a few minutes. Oh and a little laundry.

I should quit hitting the crackpipe so hard...

Today, I came home from Rec and fell asleep...for 4 hours. I felt like absolute shit. Then I woke up and my eyes were glazed over a little bit, but that's what falling asleep with contacts does to you.

Okay, I'm so watching Full House right now. It's the "very special" eating disorder episode. DJ just said "I promise, no more crash diets, I'm going to go to her party and have fun with my friends." It's some powerful stuff. I forgot what a corny and yet lovely show Full House was.

Today was a special day at Rec, Cat and I got Life Lessons with Kasy. Although Kasy gave Cat lessons on life and she didn't want them...I wanted them and she barely gave me any. Dammit. But apparently I have numerous gifts that I need to use. Good thing I have no idea what they are and how to use them. On a completely awesome note, Kasy and I were talking about college and I said something about how my parents had to work on move in day, so she offered to help me move in! I have a surrogate mom and a surrogate Amanda! So, tomorrow is the last day of Rec and we're having a Last Day Luau, so I bought some awesome leis. I'm really sad though, these kids have really grown on me. And now I can't work there next year because my mom won't let me have two jobs and take classes at Macomb. So I'm down to v olunteering again. I love it, I just wish I could do it full time. I'm gonna try to finagle this one and make it work though, I plan on taking three classes next summer, Calculus (again, stupid Wilk), Public Speaking and I'm taking up Spanish because it's so much more usefull than French. If I do that, I'll be starting next year as a second year junior. I just don't know what to do yet, I can't quit the Village, I love it there. This is going to make me go crazy, I can feel it now. I still don't know what I'm gonna do. Fuck me...well, not literally.

Hey Uncle Bill & Aunt Jill...Lemme know what you think of the revised schedule.

I Wanna Go To Jilberts Dairy

Well, last week, my dad, Trevor and I were in the Up. We went to our usual spot, Pike Lake. The trip was okay, nothing special though. It was hotter than fuck, so that meant there was no good fishing, the bugs were biting...I have a misquito bite on my ass. And no, I was not outside naked. I tend to kick in my sleep...and I kicked the screen out on the window...and the misquitos attacked, but I don't know how they got to my ass...I was wearing pants. I swam out to the island and the seaweed scared the shit out of me. And we had this freak ass guy in the next campsite that wore a watermelon and strawberry decorated hat. We did go swimming in the Taquamenon Falls. That was awesome. I'm too tired to remember what we did. Night night.

Somehow Rocky Parties Never Get Old

Yesterday was a fuckin' blast. First off, it was Cat's 18th birthday, so that was cool, then I gave her a really funny card that I made on my computer. I stayed at Rec for a few hours, then went home get ready for work, then on an off chance, I got a friend to work for me because I wanted to not go to work. It was cool, so I went back to Rec for a little bit to hang out with Cat and Steph and Amanda. The I went to Meijer to buy some shit. And I got some shit. Fast forward a few hours and Cat comes over when I'm wearing exactly a bra and a towel. And the front door is open, that was funny. So I gave her her birthday present, which consisted of Under The Tuscan Sun, some weird jumbo paper clips and push pins and a Grease CD. I hope she liked it. Then Cooper and Sammy showed up. I didn't know Sammy was coming, Cat told me a few minutes before she got there, but it turned out good. Cooper gave Cat a whole bunch of dolphin stuff. Then Amy, Kelley and Michelle came and we went upstairs to hang out and watch Rocky Horror, since Stephanie was going to be late and doesn't like Rocky Horror anyways. She was there for moral support ;) . Sammy was a Rocky Horror virgin until last night, but I think she like it a lot. There were so many damn quotes, but I didn't write any of them down because it was dark. Then we played Tourettes. I love that game. It was awesome, we had to use 3 decks of cards. I think it went over pretty well. Then, in true slumber party form, Cooper and Steph started tickling Cat because she had to pee. That was mean and yet funny to watch. They're just lucky she didn't pee on my floor. So while she was in the bathroom, I ran and got one of Doris's doggy diaper pads and put it in the spot where Cat was sitting. Haha. It was good. After tourettes, Cooper had to leave, so we all went outside to say goodbye and ended up laying in the middle of my road at midnight. "CAR!!"

After Cooper left, we finished Rocky Horror, then Stephanie left and took my beloved Harry Potter with her. I bet she's done with it now. We then staked out our sleeping areas, but ended up playing musical beds all night long. And because of my stupid, faulty air mattress, the circuit blew like three times. It was utter insanity. I finally fell asleep on the floor by Cat's feet. Then my mom woke us up evilly and took pictures because we kept her and my dad awake last night. Whoops. She took a picture of my butt...which is strange. Then we all woke up around 10:00 and Sammy had to leave right away. We ended up watching a little bit of the movie 9 Dead Gay Guys. Damn Funny. It's like a cross between Rocky Horror and Fight Club.

Ta ta everyone, I'm going to mow the grass then go up north. I'll be back on the 8th or so of August. Oh, and I'm gonna have one last Rocky Party before we go off to college, so any input on the date by anyone who wants to come would be helpful.

Day off...

Oy vey, I had the anti day off today. I did nothing fun...except clean the coffee pot. Inside and out. I showed that thing who was boss. I gotta figure out what to get Cat for her birthday...

I'm Naughty

Hahaha...made you think bad thoughts. I know I haven't posted in forever, but I've been at work for the past eleven days straight, my first break is...today. Woot. Yesterday, I went out and bought a trunk and a whole bunch of stuff for college for about 80 bucks. Its a piece of crap, but so are all the others that I've looked at. Tough Nuggies. I'll just have to get my dad to reinforce it. I'm so tard. Oh! Cat's birthday is Wednesday, that whore is gonna be 18. And she gets to register to vote. I wanna do that. But we're gonna have a Rocky party. Me, Coop, Trips, Steph, and Cat. Should prove to be a good night, its an interesting group of people. I bet we'll be singing Rocky Horror at Rec on Thursday, God knows we'll scar the kids. Oh, I'm very happy with the people that came to the City Council meeting to support Kasy: Cat, Cat's mom, Karley, Steph, Mrs. Roy, Austin, Jessica, Donny, my mom and a few others. It was good, though Kasy made me cry. It just pissed me off that people could do this to such a pure person, she's the epitome of a good person and someone's trying to ruin that. This is why I hate people. Right here. Anyone who knows me, knows that Kasy is my second mom. She's been there since I was a year old...Manda and I were practically raised like sisters from the ages of one to four. It was a cool way to grow up. But anyhoo, people can't be mean to Kasy because I don't take it lightly and my mom doesn't take it lightly and no one in Rec or associated with Rec should take it lightly. But you watch, good will prevail here, and hopefully, Karma will be a bitch to that slut of a lady.

I'm A Copy Cat

I stole this from Cat's Journal...because I just really like it.

Epiphany:

1. When you look around and finally realize that it couldn't possibly have been everyone else's fault all those times.

2. When you realize you're not everyone else's main priority, nor is everything they say or think, about you.

3. When you realize that your ingenious scheme was the equivalent of a pathetic ruse and all parties involved figured it out and laugh at you because you still think you are in control.

4. When you figure out that the only reason you aren't alone, in a glass box, with three snakes and a broken bottle of fire ants, three thousand feet under the ground and clinging to your life's pathetic existence is because life's not fair, and karma forgot to be a bitch.

5. When you realize you didn't win.

So have one.

I GOT HARRY POTTER

Hahaha...I went out with Andy to Barnes & Nobles to get Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince on Friday night/Saturday morning. It was quite and experience. There was a boy that looked like a girl there. The beard gave it away though. I got to reading my book as soon as I got home, but I soon fell asleep, I only got through 2 chapters. I worked both Saturday and Sunday all day, so I only got to read a little bit this weekend, but I got the book finished this morning, it was only 652 pages. I am very mad at J.K. Rowling. She killed off the best character. That bitch. It was still a good book though, but now, I don't have any idea what to expect for the last book. Anyways, I gotta get offline because I have to go to work.

The Last Few Days

Well, the last few days in Chicago were a blast.

Thursday: We went to the Adler Planetarium, which kicked behind. It was so fricken cool. I'm in love with it. Although, the planetarium eerily reminds me of the movie Contact. Then we stopped by the Art Institute, mainly to see American Gothic, a peculiarly intruiging painting. We hung around there for about an hour. When we got home, we went to the beach and laid out for a bit, then swam, then laid out for a bit more. The we went home, showered and started cooking. We had shells, which by the way, went over very well, thank you very much, because Uncle Bill's awesome friend, Walter, came over for dinner. He reminds me of Thomas Haden Church. He's a cool dude. The we played the ever infamous, Trouble, in which Uncle Bill lets his inner bitch out to play. Its so much fun. And each one of us won one game.

Friday: We went to the Field Museum...which was very educational. Nuff said. Then we just hung out for the remainder of our time. But of course we ordered Barry's Pizza again.

Saturday: We woke up somewhat early to go to the beach and not get yelled at by the bitch lifeguards. Then we went home and showered and finished packing up. Then we just sat around like hippies and listened to music. "I'm throwin' up my baby bumble bee/Won't my bulemic past life be so proud of me" Then we boarded the train, only to find that there were no seats next to eachother in business class. Lifes a fucking bitch sometimes. After about an hour and a half, we went back to the cafe car and watched 4 or 5 episodes of Will & Grace on my laptop, then found seats next to eachother minutes after my battery died...with a plug next to them. Score! So we watched Real Women Have Curves. Good movie.

Anyhoo, Chicago Rocks. Thanks Uncle Bill.

I just got home from the city...

...but I'll have to post later, I'm tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired, maybe because our train got in 90 minutes late. I'll be posting everything, but it'll all be before...I think it's called post dating. Not sure though.

Chicago By Boat, Who Knew?

This morning we got up bright and early for an architectural boat tour of Chicago. It was sexy, but the lady talking was both nasal and boring, so I stopped listening half way through and we all went downstairs because it had a much better view of it all. Oh, and they had free Starbucks coffee and lemonade and muffins. FREE BREAKFAST! Haha. Then we went to the biggest, kid friendliest place on the planet. The Museum Of Science and Industry. Woah, its huge. And we had to see the Human Body IMAX because the others were sold out...sorry Cat... The museum would have been great if I was about 11 years old, but it was still pretty interesting. The IMAX on the other hand, was quite disturbing, I only recall seeing a gigantic pimple being popped on a dome screen that was about 5 stories high and surrounding us. It was a pimple the size of a small pool. It was disgusting. I wish we could have seen the Nile movie, that looked cool.
Oh, and Cat and I are really getting the hang of this L system, you could put us anywhere in
Chicago and we could get back to Bill's house without any effort what so ever.

Woot! When we got home today, we decided to go swimming and there was actually waves. It was like a mini ocean. Yay. We were most definitely on the gay beach though, there was 15o gay men, a pair of lesbians, me and Cat (no, we weren't the pair of lesbians), and a family of four, who must have gotten lost. There was an old man in a lime green speedo thong...quite a sight, let me tell you. And the lifeguards are stupid, they put the bouys in 25 feet of water, but you're only allowed to go about boob high. Wft? We got yelled at about 50 times.

I Will Never Go To The Sears Tower...EVER!!

The Sears Tower has to be the most boring place on the planet. I hate it. A lot. The Hancock Observatory, on the other hand, is pretty interesting. And the views are spectacular. We could see the shadows cast by the clouds on the city and it look like Earth was gonna be invaded, ie Independence Day. It was freaky. We also went down Michigan Avenue...The Mag Mile for short and we found a 4 story Borders! And we thought 3 stories was huge. I bought a single book, but its an awesome one If I Should Die Before I Wake. We took a gander at Shedd's Aquarium today as well. I'm in love with that place, if for no other reason than the dolphin show. I love dolphin shows. The aquarium itself is pretty good, saw some weird little sea animals and they had this gigantic tank, called the Wild Reef, that had some awesome animals in it, it was like a mini ocean. Then, on the way home, we got off the L at Belmont and went to the Army Navy Surplus store. It's pretty awesome but uber expensive. We both bought British Flag buttons and Cat was adamant about buying one that said "Fuck Off"...but they were all sold out. Darn. I fell asleep on the L today. I hear that I rubber necked the whole way.

Sometimes, You Should Identify Street Names

Today we woke up and ambled over to Navy Pier to buy IMAX tickets, we saw some movie about sharks...I fell asleep, not because I was bored, just out of sleep deprivation. Anyhoo, it was in 3D. Anyway, that's not the point, we went to Navy Pier and walked all the way down and it was pretty neat, however, I paid $5 for a lemonade that was mostly ice...it did come with a souvenior cup though. After walking around the pier, we caught a free trolley to State Street, where a Marshall Fields is. Across the street, we found a Borders books that was 3 stories high!! Yay! Whilst shopping and finding 3 awesome guides for Anatomy, Med Terms and Med Abbreviations, my uncle called and asked where we were. I told him at the Borders across from Marshall Fields. To bad theres another Borders in town across from another Marshall Fields. He gave us directions to a place for lunch...but it was quite a catastrophe. We ended up making it to lunch eventually and ran to a bus. By the way, we got pelted with sand while running towards the bus, it was windy. We took the bus to the IMAX. The movie was pretty good and the whole 3D thing made my head spin.

After the IMAX experience, we went to the Lincoln Park Conservatory and Zoo. I'm absolutely in love with the Lincoln Park Conservatory. It's so pretty. The Zoo was crap, half of the animals were dead, so it wasn't that exciting. We took the bus home and went down to the beach and swam. Whoopie! Anyways, later.

Fireworks Are The Shit

We woke up early today and went swimming at the beach and we were the only ones there. And the bouys went on forever...at our park, the water gets to be 5 feet deep...at this beach the water gets to be 25 feet! Anyhoo, we went for a walk down the coastline and it was so cool. I can't wait until after college so that I can live in Chicago...because I'm in love with it. Then we went with my uncle to the nursery to get some flowers...they were pretty, but there were no white lilies.

Early in the afternoon, we made our way downtown to get prepared for the fireworks. Along the way we stopped at Millenium Park. It's really cool, they have this gigantic pavillion by Frank Gehry (He did a lot of cool buildings, like the EMP in Seattle and the Guggenheim in Spain) and they do a lot of concerts and stuff there. They also had this really cool set of fountains that you could walk in and stuff. Then we went down to the Adler Planetarium area to watch the fireworks. Which were damn good, they sure upstaged Fishfly Festival Fireworks. Ha, try saying that one five times fast. I'll eventually post pictures and stuff...but I'm too busy now. Then we braved the subway on the way home. It was so packed, I think all of Chicago was on the L.
A la prochain fois~

The Worst Way To Start A Vacation...

...Is definitely missing your train. Yep, we missed the train this morning. It felt bad. We were the most pathetic sight ever. But more on that later, first, lemme explain why we missed the train. Well, first off, my dad insisted that we go to Kroger to get us some snacks for the train. Then we missed our exit. Then we ran into about a million detours. Then we got onto the platform. Then, as we made our way to get on, it slowly but surely started moving away. Mind you, my mom was in the station telling them that we needed to get on, but the guy WOULD NOT tell the train to stop. Asshole. We were there at 5:15 am, which is on time.

Anyhoo, we had the most priceless/crushed expressions on our faces. If someone would have been videotaping, it would have won money. But we weren't the only ones to miss the train. We met Yvette and Kenneth. They were nice. So, on to the adventure. First, we're told that we have to go to Flint to catch a bus that will take us to Battle Creek so we can get on a train to Chicago. Ugh. There were easier options, but he failed to inform us of them. So, for the time being, we went home. Cat and I were a gigantic pathetic mess. I know both of us wanted to cry. But we held a stiff upper lip and collapsed onto the futon when we got home, all the while, discussing just how retarded we felt.

We left home around 7:00 am and made our way to Flint. On the way, we stopped at a Big Boy's for brekkie. Funny story. So we're sitting down for breakfast and I make the declaration that I have to pee, which is hardly uncommon, so Cat and I go to the bathroom (I know, we travel in packs, what can I say?) And I go for the handicap stall because theres something yucky in the other toilet. But Cat, being the brave one, goes to flush the toilet and use that one. As soon as I sit down, I hear a deafening sound and I hear Cat's voice calling me...she sounded like she was in pain. So I told her to hang on so that I could finish peeing. So I did. Then I open the door to discover the strangest sight. Cat on the floor with the bathroom door. She completely took out the door. Completely. Apparently the door was somewhat off its hinges and she went to close/open it and it came off and she and it crashed into the wall together. And she really hurt her shoulder...I had to pull on her arm to pop it somewhat back into place. I think that was worth missing the train. Then we had to recount the story to my parents and the waitress. We didn't file an accident report though...wimp.

Now that that exciting portion is over, we fell asleep on the way to Flint and drove around in Flint for a while until we woke up. When we woke up, my dad had pulled into this parking lot full of modular homes because he wanted to put one on the property up north. They're all a hell of a lot bigger and prettier, outside and in ;), than my house. The people there thought we were sisters. Thats probably because Cat has the habit of calling my parents mom and dad. Unusual and yet expected. But holy crap, these houses are HUGE, they have upstairs and everything. We finally got to the station and waited for our bus with our new friends, Yvette and Kenneth. We traveled with them the whole way to Chicago. It was nice. The remainder of our journey wasn't that exciting, it was pretty much: sleep, listen to music, talk, sleep, eat a cracker, listen to music, talk...

Then we got to Chicago. Finally. A few hours late. My uncle picked us up at Union Station and we took Lakeshore Drive, the coolest road in the world, almost all the way to his house. It runs along the coastline of Lake Michigan, which is all part of Chicago. I think Cat was in awe. We got home to his awesome condo, a few blocks from the lake, and oddly enouch, took a walk to the lake, it must be a swimmer thing...must identify water source, MUST IDENTIFY WATER SOURCE!!! Its such a pretty lake. I'm in love with it. Then we came back home and ordered Chicago Style deep dish pizza with yummy stuff in it, I believe it was Barry's Pizza. It was so good, though Cat and I, as mere amateurs, could only eat one piece each, while Uncle Bill could devour 2 or 3. Then we both kind of drifted off while watching What Lies Beneath. Then we went to bed and fell fast asleep.

Half.com is my God

Okay, I have bought almost all of my first semester college books online for about $120 total...mwuahahahaha...and I did it all on half.com. Woot. Chicago in 55 hours. YAYAYAY!

It's my anniversary, baby

So, this weekend I went to Amanda's and Cat's graduation parties. I didn't stay long at Amanda's cuz I had to get home, but I did have an awesome time on her trampoline. Sunday, I was in the parade and I saw a lot of people that I knew from the red camaro that Allison and I were in. I also got sunburned. Then, almost as soon as I got home, I changed and went to Cat's graduation party. Oh, I failed to mention how I was woken up this morning. Just so you know, I was wearing a shirt and underwear, then I hear this odd noise and a door or two slamming and I look out my window and it's none other than Dex, Telly and Cat. Yay. I threw on the nearest pair of pants. Still an awesome way to wake up though. Anyhoo, after the parade, I high-tailed it to Cat's house. I pretty much snuck in without her noticing, Dex and Telly had to greet me. Damn Cat. It was awesome catching up with Dex and Telly, which I did for close to an hour. I love them Floridians. The party was fun, albiet I had a bad case of hick feet when I got home. They were SO dirty from the volleyball.
Yesterday I worked and then went to Rec for a bit. Then I came home and cleaned my room. It was SO hot upstairs, holy crap, I was sweating profusely. Then I showered and fell asleep.
Today should be good, we're taking the Rec kids to see Madagascar. Then I have to take another road trip to Circuit City to take back that damn CD burner. I hate it. A lot. Oh, btw, yesterday, I found my box of notes from last year, they are HILARIOUS. There are just no words for them. At all. Whatsoever. Okay, I have to shower, change, and go to Rec. Love ya, bye.
Oh, and today is the 5 year anniversary of leaving for Europe, which may not seem significant to many, but it was to me.

Oh, The Places You Will Go

Dude! I got the Dr. Suess book Oh The Places You Will Go for graduation. Yess! That is one of the coolest books. I so have not had time to blog as of late, I've been uber busy. Let's see:

Monday : I think I went to work from 10:30 to 2:45. Then I wrote thank you cards (which I am still not done with), and I probably went out and did something.
Tuesday : I went to work, but I do not remember what I did before or after, although I am sure thank you cards were in there somewhere.
Wednesday : I went to work and did a puzzle with my mom and may have gone out.
Thursday : I didn't go to work, but I did go to Great Lakes Crossing with my grandma and I got myself a faulty CD burner at Circuit City. Then I got myself a gigantic towel and a set of twin sheets for $15. Then I went to the Rainforest Cafe with Nana and had coconut shrimp. As soon as I got home, Cat showed up and we went on an ill fated journey to Bay Rama. I came so close to throwing up, but I held strong. Then I went out to my cousins house to get him so we could go to the fire works, which were really good, by the way.
Friday : I took Trev home and ran a few errands for my aunt, then I came home and then went up to work and the bank to do some errands. Then Cat and I went to Circuit City to exchange my faulty CD burner (only to recieve another piece of crap). Then the power went out and I couldn't exchange it, so we went to Best Buy so I could use my $75 gift card to get a printer for school. Then we went to Bed Bath and Beyond. It was good.

And today, I get to go to work. Yay. And fill out more thank you cards. Because that's what I do.

1 more week until Chicago!

I Ain't No Hollaback Girl...

Well, I've been busier than fuck since my last post. I worked most of last week and went to rec a few times and I don't remember much else. I had my graduation party on Saturday and it was a blast. A lot of people that I didn't think would show up did and a lot of people that I expected to show up, didn't. But hey, it was a good time anyways. Gia kicked ass on the food, let me tell you. She did an awesome job. I made out pretty well, though I ain't posting the amount that I got ;). Oh, and Flo Hayman gave Steph my gift and me Steph's gift...we're switching back as I type. Haha. Um...I haven't much more to say...My mom and dad are watching the Matrix and I keep zoning out to it. Loves, hugs and kisses.

Monday, June 13, 2005

Oh, as I reminisce...

Wow, I forgot how much I love Rec. I swear, there's nothing better than going to the park and playing with kids for 5 - 6 hours. There' even a smell associated with Rec, sunblock. Everytime I smell sunblock, it brings me to a happy place in my head; I smelled it at work the other day and it put me in the best mood. Anyways, I'm happy that I'm gonna be there this summer. But, I need to get some super sunblock, I got so burned today, and it wasn't even sunny. I'll have to get a tan somehow. So anyways, there's this boy named Isaac and he's gonna be my shadow, I can feel it. I met him by him attaching himself to me whilst swimming. I absolutely love the Semaan boys though. They are adorable. And I get to hang out with two of my favorite people, Amanda and Cat...CATIE. I get to call her Catie all summer. And I'm not gonna stop when we got to college. MWAHAHAHAHA!! Oh...and we saw Stephanie and Cooper today at the park...Steph works there and Cooper just showed up. All in all, it was a good day.

Going To Work Dead Tired is...AWESOME

Well, I'm absofuckinglutely ecstatic about going to work this morning, I've got a fucking pounding headache. And now I have to clean and then go to work. It's gonna be a lovely day. And now my mom is yelling at me because she doesn't think that I want to help her clean. Well, no shit. Doesn't mean that I'm not going to help. And now she's mad at me because I have a big work schedule today. Fuck me. No, fuck you.

The Bungee Run Sucks Ass

Yeah, I know I haven't really updated since Monday...but I haven't really been on the computer either. I've had a rather eventful week, if you count getting out of work for a neck injury eventful. Shyeah...I got whiplash and a mild concussion from that stupid bungee thing at the Senior All Night Party. Damn damn damnit. Anywho...I'm outta work for a few days. So that's awesome. I get to go back to the Chiropractor today, who by the way, also let me know that I had a fused disk in my back and scoliosis. WTF??? I don't believe him, my back has been fine every single time I've gone to the chiro, and now I have all of these maladies...my ass.


Oh! Monday night, Cat and I went to see The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants. Totally cute movie. Yes, I did just say totally cute. We could have a sisterhood of the travelling scrubs...? Lord knows we have enough of them.


Tuesday...I went to work, then the chiro...not much here, although Paul is a lifesaver.


Wednesday -- Well, in the morning, I went to Timmy's with Lia and had breakfast. The new yogurt thing is pretty darn good. Then we went to Target for a minute and I got a new purse and a much needed notebook. Then I went to the chiro and got an accident report to give to Mrs. Accivatti. For the life of me, I cannot spell that name. Then I dropped it off at the school. After that, I went home for a while and did stuff....and accidentally took a nap, I was playing with my dog. Then I ran over to my Nana's house to drop off a TV Guide and I watched a little bit of Catch Me If You Can with her. Then I got home and Cat called. Then we decided to be stealthy and go for a 'walk'...but actually go to the beach to go swimming before the storm. We swam for like ten minutes and it started getting shitty...but no lightening, or so we thought. As we were getting ready to get out of the water, Cat's like 'Isn't that your dad?' Hahaha....it was, but he's cool and didn't get us in trouble with my mom (she doesn't believe in swimming in the shit hole...I mean lake). So anyone reading this KEEP YO' MOUTH SHUT. This means you Uncle Bill. So we're walking home and get as far as the Rec before it's just too bad to carry on. We called none other than my dad. As soon as we got home, Cat left and our power went out. It didn't come back until midnight-ish... So my mom and dad and I played poker with a flashlight. How extraordinarily fun.


Today -- We'll just have to see, won't we?

Monday, June 6, 2005

C'est Fini

Well, today was commencement...and it was pretty boring. But, Cat did a speech and I thought it was PERFECT. My mom and dad and my brother and his girlfriend came to watch the ceremony. After, I took a few pictures with friends and then we went to Mongolian Barbeque. Yay!

When we got home, I tried really hard to go to sleep, but I only achieved that half-awake state of awareness. And I read a little bit...Ya-Ya's In Bloom was awesome. Sexy book. Then at about 9:30, I took a shower and got prepared for the Senior All Night Party. Oh, but during my shower, there was a thunderstorm and the hot water turned off. Anyways, at about 10:10, I arrived at the Senior All Night Party and met Cat. We got to ride on a horse drawn carraige to the front of the school. The horse's were really big and they smelled funny. And there wasn't enough room on the carraige, so Cat had to sit on Steph's lap and Allison Deeb had to sit on mine. Haha.

So, when we got in, we got our wrist bands that said "Class of 2005" on them and we got our animal hats. I was an elephant, but accidentally left it on the bleachers. Then we went and did the mirage of things to do. We played laser tag, did those bungee run things (which by the way, give you the slightest onset of whiplash...my neck still hurts), fought with gigantic sticks, went on the super slide, got our fortunes read, saw a psychic, got tattoos, took pictures and did a motion simulator thing. Then, at 4 am, we saw this guy called Greg Steele and he did a hypnosis/comedy show. It was hilarious. Wait a minute! I forgot about Cat's stalker for the night. I swear, Tyler is in love with her "CATHERINE......CATHERINE.....CATHERINE.....!!!" But he was very inappropriate, like being all touchy feely and shit, so during laser tag, I yelled at him and started beating him with my laser gun. Then when we got out, mind you it was 3:45 am, I said "Either it's really late, or you're really annoying" and he called me uptight and walked away...but, job done, he was scaring Cat...So I scared him. Then Cat didn't want to be alone. It was funny.

Then I went home and slept for 8 hours. Spank my ass and call me Bertha.

J'aime Lia

Tonight, I went up to Timmy's to meet Lia and she gave me her Health Occ. stuff so that I could use it for college...WOOT!!

There Is A Place, It Has A Face...

Okay, now I'll update a little more on Orientation. It was great and I'm pretty positive that I'm going to major in Health Administration while simultaneously getting the requirements for the Physician's Assistant program. It's not a major or anything, it's just a pre-professional program, which I have to finish in grad school, I need my masters in something...but hopefully I can get a masters in Health Administration as well. It would be absolutely perfect. In ten years, I'm so gonna be running a hospital in CHICAGO!!!

Anyways, here's my tentative schedule:

HON 100B - Introduction to Honors Fri. 2:00pm - 3:50pm
ASL 101H - Honors American Sign Language Tues. & Thurs. 12:30pm - 1:45pm
FRN 201 - Intermediate French Mon. Tues. Wed. & Thurs. 10:00am - 10:50am
GRN 247 - Intro To Gerontology Mon. Wed. & Fri. 11:00am - 11:50am
HSC 201 - Medical Terminology Tues. 6:30pm - 8:20pm
MTH 132 - Calculus I Mon. Tues. Wed. & Thurs. 9:00am - 9:50am

Yes, I realize I'm taking Calc again, but my teacher was completely incompetent. Anyways, Cat and I have it really easy for college, we barely have to buy anything...we do, however, have to figure out how to get the bigger room. That is the only problem.

Anywho, back to Orientation. The drive home seemed extremely quick, probably because Cat and I were talking the ENTIRE time, our friend Lia was asleep in the backseat. Then we went to Mongolian Barbeque and had a wonderful meal. It was Dee-lish. We finally got home around 9 or 10. I think. All and all it was good.

Thursday, June 2, 2005

Dooooooooooooood!

Okay, I'm the fricken giddiest person in the whole world right now! First off, I found my major and minor, Health Administration and Gerontology respectively. Which makes me get my dream job, running a hospital. I really really want to double major, since it makes sense and can probably make me more successful in the long run. I'm kinda thinking about doing Pre-Physician Assistant though...sounds like it could be useful an I intend on going to graduate school. I'm too excited to type...tomorrow will be better...all I can say is that we had a blast.

Sunday, May 29, 2005

Hola

Yeah, I'm feeling slightly awesome knowing that I never have to set foot in Anchor Bay again. Yesterday I went to work at 6:00 am and this one lady, who is about 45, asked me if I had a hangover...I must have looked really tired...I was like "NO!!! I don't drink...I just don't sleep either." But it kinda made me happy. Then I spent the entire day making salad stuff and choppin' veggies. It was good.

Around 4:00 I went with my dad to the movies to see the last Star Wars movie. First, we went to Play It Again sports and I got some ice skates on sale. They're sexy. Anyways, then we saw the movie and got kicked by little kids the whole way through. The movie explained why Anakin went to the dark side, but it was kinda sad, either way, the movie was okay. Then I came home and Cat and I went roller blading for about an hour. We saw Jeff. Yay. Then we went on the dock (in our roller blades) and did the most cliched thing EVER. We talked about the universe. Hehe. Go ahead, shout "nerds" at the top of your lungs. Now I gotta go get ready for work. Loves, hugs and kisses.

When It's Over...That's The Time I Fall In Love Again...

Okay, weirdest sensation ever...never HAVING to step foot inside Anchor Bay High School again. Except for Senior Breakfast, which we aren't legally bound to go to. But woah. This is fucked up. I cried when the final bell rang...I guess I'm just more sensative than everyone else. I'm going to go ahead and assume that me going to Anchor Bay since I was three may have something to do with the tears. I know that in a week I'm never gonna see most of these people again in my life...except maybe at a reunion or something. I'm gonna copy off of Cat with a list of things I'll miss and that I won't miss. It's nerdy, but I don't care, I'm feeling nostalgic. But first, the rest of my day.

We went to Mongolian Barbeque for lunch (Nicole, Cat, Lia, Allison & Moi). It was splendid, except for seeing one person that I absolutely hate. But otherwise, I had a delicious lunch with lemon and soy sauce on top. And rice. I love rice. Oh, and I found out that Allison Drompp and I have our names on the Citizen's State Bank scroll-thing at the 23 Mile Rd branch because we won the Bay Rama Scholarship. Woot.

A few hours later, I met Cat and Lia at the hockey rink for Jamie's 14 birthday party and we ice skated our asses off. It was fun stuff. And I begged Cat to drive me home because I was insanely tired and she wouldn't. Bitch. So much for best friends, huh? I should have pictures from today up on webshots tomorrow...if I can get them from Lia. Oh, and from yesterday's car painting extravaganza. Onto the list:

Things I won't miss:

1. French...nuff said
2. Certain swim bitches
3. The drama
4. Wilk
5. The stairs
6. Ossy
7. Underclassmen
8. The sluts in Ossy's class
9. Waking up

Things I will miss:

1. Mrs. Len
2. Seeing my best friends every day (you know who you are)
3. Bruce
4. COOPER!!
5. Steph, Allison and Andy
6. Kevin
7. Megan!
8. Corey and Adrian
9. Our second home (The pool, duh!)
10. Swim
11. Being completely inappropriate and having the Calc class overhear

His hip...really?

Okay, I so haven't posted in forever and a day...actually for a week, but that's besides the point. Well, I been a busy girl. I worked 11:30 to 8:00 all weekend, meaning that I am gone during the peak hours of the day.

On Monday, I went to work from 10:00 AM for an inservice and didn't get out until 3:00 PM...then I went home and cleaned.

Tuesday was a special day. School was boring as EVER, but that's besides the point, we got out of History to do awards ceremony practice. All I can say is COGGINS!!! She's such a freak. Oh! I almost forgot, Cat and I were double agents yesterday, we went on a mission to find programs from the Senior Awards Ceremony. Didn't work, but we felt stealthy. Then Cat and I went to her house to do our project, which she had mostly finished anyways...I feel bad, but she said that she'd do some and email it to me to finish...and she DIDN'T. So there. After that, Cat had another stick lesson. Good times. Oh, and Cooper saw her driving and laughed. Yay. Then we traded yearbooks and brought them back to the awards ceremony. Just so everyone knows, we are morphing into the same person. We wrote the same things in each other's yearbooks. My God. So then we went to the awards ceremony, which was fun. Then we were awarded our scholarships, which I completely forgot about...and I didn't even tell my mom and dad about. Now, I went into this knowing that I wasn't gonna get any awards and I was content with that. They read some scholarships, then they got to the ones that I applied for. They read off the Bay Rama scholarships and I heard my name, but it didn't register...then I realized that I had won. I freaked out. So I went up there and claimed my $1000 scholarship and my place in the Bay Rama parade. Then they read another few and called me up again, this time for the Lions Club scholarship! So now I'm up to $2000. Then they called me up a third time, this time for the Amvets club scholarship, bringing my grand total to $3000. I swear, I feel like the luckiest person in the world, I don't think I have ever won anything in my life and probably won't again. Then they were reading one about a girl that had 675 hours of community service and worked at the park and managed the boys swim team...and I was like "Oh yeah, ITS CAT!" Hell yeah, you rock! But yeah, it was a good night.

Then today...well, I'll have to post later, I've gotta go to my grandma's house for a bit. Loves, hugs and kisses.

Shitty Week

Okay, I know I haven't posted since Saturday, but I've had a shitty week so far. I do have a day off from work tomorrow though. Woot! So yeah, I have been really bitch lately, mostly to Cat, she always happens to be there when I get pissed off... Sorry Cat!! You know I love you. Then today in sixth hour, we got our progress reports...and I turned into uber bitch. Actually, I said shut up and didn't talk to anyone for a while. Then I felt really bad and couldn't figure out why I've been so stressed out. Then, after school, I spontaneously combusted into tears. You shoulda seen Cat's face. It was priceless. But yeah, SHITTY WEEK. Gotta go to work now. Bye.

Saturday, May 14, 2005

Friday The 13th continued...

And every few minutes, we would burst our laughing at our predicament ...
although one of those times, Cat had juice in her mouth and spit it ALL OVER the dashboard. So, my dad finally came and beeped at us and scared the shit out of us, then we laughed again. After doing what he could for a little while, he finally had to push us backwards and made me 'pop the clutch'...whatever that means, but it did start the car! Woot! We took his car and went to the Chesterfield Library and rented Billy Elliot and Flashdance...Then we went to the Rec to harass Kasy for some pictures. Then we went back to Cat's to watch the movies...Billy Elliot was good...Flashdance was bad. Nuff said. Then I went home and went to bed because I had to work this morning at 6:15.

Friday, May 13, 2005

Friday The 13th

Okay, what is going on with the universe? I officially had the weirdest day ever. And I mean WEIRDEST. It started off at about 9:00 am, so around 10:00, I picked up Cat and we began our journey into oblivion. We went to Stony Creek with the intention of riding our bikes around the lake and going kayaking. We achieved .71 miles before deciding that we were both frozen and sick and we should turn back. When we arrived at the parking lot, I decided to give an impromptu stick shift lesson. It started off very well, Cat only stalled at 2 stop signs, which is quite impressive for a two time stick driver. Since she was doing so well, I decided that it would be appropriate for her to drive us home, it is fun to have your own personal chauffeur. Well, it turned out to be an interesting decision to say the least. We were going just fine, she even navigated us through construction traffic...until we met the intersection of 23 mile road and Fairchild. The light turned red, so we stopped. The light turned green, so we tried to go...but we stalled. Then we stalled again. Then the car died. Then the hazards wouldn't go on. Then I got out of the car and flagged down a car to help me push, if we sat at that intersection for too much longer, we WOULD get rear-ended. I saw the one guy's butt crack as he exited his car. It was gross. Anyways, Cat is hell bent on the idea that she broke my car...when in reality, she only helped it along to surgery by moving it up on the donor list, as the 12 year old starter was on its way out. Long story short, $100, my daddy and a few days and my car will be good as new. Anyways, we waited in the parking lot of a Christian Financial bank for an hour, then my dad rescued us. Oh, and it was pouring rain while we were waiting in the car. And every few minutes, we would burst our laughing at our predicament...although one of those times, Cat had juice in her mouth and spit it ALL OVER the dashboard. I'm gonna have to post the rest later, I'm real tired.

Thursday, May 12, 2005

Melodramatic kind of life...

May I be an over dramatic whiner for a minute? I HATE MY FAMILY. My dad is being so unpleasant lately. So fucking unpleasant. But anyways, I'm done whining. I got that meningitis vaccine today...I was freaking out beforehand...then I got it done and it didn't even hurt. Oh, and I drank so much water today, a whole 120 ounces. I peed like every 25 minutes. Quite an eventful day. Laters mi amigos. Oh, and Senior Skip Day is gonna be fun...Me and Cat are going to Stony Creek and kayaking! Woot!

Wednesday, May 11, 2005

Everything I do...I do it for you

Okay, I recently realized that I do not like the name Logan. It sucks. Or morgan for that matter. And I really don't like the name Gretchen...it's not really a name, it kinda reminds me of Grendel from Beowulf. Okay, we're needin' to watch Rocky Horror...its been so long since I've seen that movie. I gotta go to bed. I'm tard.

Monday, May 9, 2005

Hola

I was so damn tired today at school...serves me right for staying up for Grey's Anatomy. I skipped first hour all together because I was so f-ing tired. Then I came home and tried to take a nap...That didn't work out so well. I ended up doing a whole bunch of shit for my dad. Alrighty, I've gotta go, my dad is making me go to bed early. Goodnight all.

Sunday, May 8, 2005

Okay, now that I'm awake...

Okay, prom was a blast...We danced our asses off, then bowled our asses off. I knew I would have fun with Andy, but I didn't realize that he could dance. Yay! We just had so much damn fun. I will say one thing, bowling in fake nails is not the most comfortable thing in the world, but it was well worth it.

So, at dinner last night, our table, which consisted of Cat, John, 2 people I don't know, Liz, Sean Griffith, Lia, Paul, Andy, and your's truly, decided that it would be fun to play basketball with butter packets, landing in the space in between my boobs and dress (which was surprisingly large, damn b-cup). They did it to Cat too, although I definitely had the larger basket. Haha. I posted all the pictures on my webshots album, you can follow the link on the sidebar, or this one: http://community.webshots.com/scripts/editPhotos.fcgi?action=viewall&albumID=339608035 I'll eventually put up appropriate titles and captions and stuff, but today has been too lazy to do much of anything productive. Although, I did do something really girly...I BOUGHT A SKIRT!!! But only because I had to...for graduation, but it is really really pretty. I might have bought it even if I didn't have to.

Okay, Grey's Anatomy is on, so it's time to get offline. Good night all.

I love prom...can we have another?

Prom was fan-tastic! Andy Ward and I danced the night (and some of this morning) away, then we bowled in our formal wear...I'll post more later, I'm über tired at the moment.
Aww...what a smooch...

I feel like such a girl

I went out today and spent only $20 on a prom hairdo...and Cat did my nails...then I cut them down and filed and painted them...they're slightly sexy. And I can type in them! Because I'm awesome.






DON'T BE SAD COOPER...JUST BEAT MAGGIE AT LASER TAG

Hey Hey Hey

I just took Doris for an hour long ride in the car...she couldn't decide whether or not she enjoyed herself though. We went on a road trip to my work and we ended up off-roading for a little stretch of the road. It was good fun. Then I went to the bank and deposited $123.17 and had to keep the rest out for my gd insurance and my gd computer and my gd prom hair...but yay anyways. Oh, and I think Andy is gonna be a lot of fun at prom, he's pretty funny.


Catisa Lesbian and Samanthawulf are taking over...HAHA! Cat and I were in the parking lot of the school and I put on my sexy new shades...So Cat said that they made me so sexy that she might just go lesbian. Odd friends. But anyways, this guy was just standing there next to his car, watching...then he drag-raced her out of the parking lot...I think it was Tyler VanAllen. He's so cool...Oh, I jest.


Okay, I definitely have to go to work now, goddamn detour. Bubbye for now.

::It's Official::


He's my new British lover...eh, who am I kidding, he'd Canadian...but he played a British guy...so he can be my quasi-British lover. Anyways, it's official, the blog can now be found at: http://www.ofdishragsandraisins.blogspot.com ::

I heart Texas Hold 'Em

I had to stop by a party to pick up my daddy tonight, because his feet really hurt and he refuses to get his operation done...so yeah, anyways, I sat down with my mom and a bunch of her friends and played a hand of Texas Hold 'Em...and won! Woot! Can you say hello to $18. But alas, now I must take a hot, steamy shower to clear up my sinuses. Love y'alls.
