H'okay, so I got home on Thursday... and I'm not sure what exactly I did, besides stop every 30 miles and put air in my effing tires. It's bull shite I tell you. Friday I kinda just chilled out and attempted to get my laundry started. Then I got lazy and took a nap. I worked Saturday and today. Bah. I did a whole lot of laundry today. That's about it. Oh, and I took a nap. Apparently I've learned how to nap. Shock me.

My dad insists on watching Van Helsing right now. I hate that movie. It's lame. Although... Hugh Jackman is a hot hot man. Super hot. So is Tom Collins (Jesse L. Martin) from RENT. Hot.

Now its that time again. Grey's Anatomy is calling my name.

So I decided to take a quick study break and I went to the slogan generator that I put in a post the other day. It's wonderful. The title of this post is one of the slogans that I got. How exciting.

Ok, back to studying.

H'okay so here's the fucking weekend. Dang, that is a sweet weekend you might say. Long. I'm tired still. I got approximately 6 hours of sleep. All weekend. Sweet. I'm still tired. I need a venti heroin mocha latte like now. It was chock full of drama, but whatever. So. We had to be room monitors for the entire weekend, which meant being the judges bitch. Good fun.

Oh, so we went out to the club Backstreet in Dearborn and it was a lot of fun. Ran into a guy from high school there. Lil bit awkward. I hate when people spell awkward wrong. One time, someone wrote the word awkward in my yearbook and spelled it wrong. Now its there forever. She spelled it "Aquard". I wish it was okay to go back and change the spelling for her, but that's pretty lame. What kind of loser fixes someones spelling in their own yearbook. Lame.

I just google searched shpank. Wow. And the sleeves of my shirt are really large.

Go here. Type naughty things.

Where's My Kevlar Vest?

H'ok, so I won't be updating for a few days, I'm going to Detroit for the weekend for an American Guild of Music fundraiser thang.

Real quick, I got to my car yesterday, because I was going to drive around and do errands, and it had another flat tire. Jesus fucking Christ that's annoying. But whatever, I got this little air compressor and its all sweet and stuff. Oh, and I got myself a $10 purse because I earned it.

The Yellowcard concert totally kicked ass, although I wish I could have gone to the last GSA meeting of the semseter. I ended up setting up for the Virgin Records Megatour Village in the morning, when I couldn't talk and some guy felt sorry for me because he thought I was deaf or something, so he gave me a bunch of gum. It was funny. I'm chewing it right now. Calm down, its not like it was date rape gum, it was this promotional Dentyne stuff that they were giving out. I also scored 3 CDs which I will listen to at my earliest convenience. Woot.

My goldfish died the other day, so now I only have the ugly little silver one left. Pretty sure he's gonna die while I'm gone. But whatever, I don't love him, I only loved the pretty one.

Okay, it's time to go now, I'll be back Sunday afternoon/night. Muah.

Sad News

I just heard today that my high schoool geography teacher, Mr. Ossy, died in a car crash on his way to Anchor Bay today. That is so sad, this was last year, he had a month before retirement. Here's the news story.

So... in GSA, we're playing Assassins. I love it. So far I've killed: Char, Robert, Dave, Michael, Megan, Ben & Jayme. I dominate. I actually killed Jayme twice, but the first time didn't count because it was her office hours. Then Cat & I staked her out in the cafeteria, I pretended to leave, then went back in & we sat at different tables, Cat at one where she could see if the knife was in her hand or not. As soon as she put it down, Cat was like "SHE PUT IT DOWN, SHE PUT IT DOWN" so I hauled ass over there and poked her. Woot.

I think I want to start an Assassins game in Larzy for next year, it would be uberous amounts of fun. Hmm... I'm sweet like that.

I just want to DANCE! Lets just stand around our pocketbooks and shoes and just DANCE it out!

Last night I discovered a lot about myself in a mini road trip with Jenny, Phil & Ben to Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids. I discovered that my wedding is gonna be hot,I like the Pussycat Dolls, I love gay clubs, I don't want no scrubs, McDonald's coffee is crap & I'm completely useless after 2:00 am. I had such a good time last night, it was so much fun. First, we went to "The Zoo" in K-zoo. Just a wee bit seedy. Then we went to Diversions in Grand Rapids. We danced and danced and sang and drove. Woot. I love road trips. We also played a few ridiculous car games, such as Sam, Jenny, Phil & Ben trivia and the Charlie Rose game. Good stuff. Then we planned our dream weddings. I'm pumped, I think I need to get married... like now.

I want to go clubbing now. Damnit. Well, off to do loads and loads of homework. Laters.

So... around 10:00 pm last night, Jayme & I went to Kaya to do homework, where we ran into Jay... thus not much homework got done, atleast on my part. I had a Fuze... which was delicious and only 10 calories for an entire bottle. Yummy. Then we went to Campbell Hall front desk, as the lovely Phil was working. I think we stayed there until about 3:30. Somehow we ended up at Lil Chef and I had so much coffee. Wow. So of course I was giddy as all hell. Jenny read some stories that she had written, which were effing hilarious. Woot for short stories. I finally got back to the dorm around 7:30 and fell asleep at about 8:00. Then my body decided that I'm not allowed to sleep when I'm on caffeine overload. I woke up every hour, finally staying awake at eleven. So now I'm totally wired.

In other news, my fish are still alive and I think I want to get a livejournal. Everyone is on livejournal & I would definitely get more readership. Hmm. Maybe I'll just duplicate this blog on Lj. I just don't know.

Oh, we got a new movie channel up here, which is kinda cool, as Madagascar is on it. Woot. It's channel 35 by the way. Very interesting, indeed.

Bah

So I've been uber busy for the last few days... actually the last 5 days. I can't really say what I've been doing because I do not remember, but it's been a lot. On Tuesday, I went to the John Corvino & Glenn Stanton debate, then we went to dinner with them afterwards. It was good fun. Oh, and the "Asian Chicken Salad" joke from Margaret Cho came up, as someone at the table ordered Asian chicken salad... everyone looked at Jenny and asked if she wanted "chicken salad"... apparently Asian Chicken Salad is not the salad of her people. Whatev.

Damn... I'm on a Mac & I can't do hyperlinks again... I'll do them later.

Yesterday was a long day. Steph came up & stayed last night. Good fun. We watched Margaret Cho: Revolutions. Sweet. I passed out just after persimmons.

This morning I had breakfast with the lovely Jayme. Congrats on Secretary/Treasurer. Woot. I had a delicious bagel this morning, then I went to Nutrition. The professor decided that we can come next Tuesday and take the exam or skip that class and take the exam during exam week. I think I'm going to go ahead and do it this Tuesday, just to get it out of the way. I've got a lot to do today... ASL in about 10 minutes, then I'm going to the SAC while simultaneously studying for Spanish, then I'm coming back and doing homework. I'm doing homework for a very long time today. Thou shalt not sleep.

I need to repaint my fingernails. Like whoa. Oh & this weekend looks like its gonna be long as well. I don't have much to do on Friday, besides pack up whatever else I can, but dad is coming up on Saturday morning @ 8:00 am. Bah. Fixing the car & taking home the futon among other things. Thanks dad. Ok, gotta go to class now.

Well, yesterday didn't turn out like I planned, but it was awesome. Around 5, Jenny came & kidnapped Ben & I and we went to a new coffee shop called Fifi's French Press. It's very La Vie Boheme meets Paris. Loves it. We ran around downtown Mount Pleasant for a few hours, then went to see Scary Movie 4 at 9:10. It was surprisingly funny. Somehow we ended up at Phil & Aaron's and decided to dye Easter Eggs and make a creepy hand out of wax. Fast forward to 5:00am when I got back to my dorm. Let's just say I fell asleep quickly. Now I want to watch A League of Their Own real bad. I've got the song that the team sings completely stuck in my head.

H'ok, so... here's today: Well, I woke up around 12:00 and went down to brunch. I ran into Bob Lewan and we ate together. He's seems pretty cool. Around 1:20, Jason & Becky got here and we left. Oh, and Jason got me a kit for my car that includes jumper cables. Woot. We got to the riding stables about an hour and a half later. Sweet. I looked like a cowgirl today too, braided pig tails and all. I rode the horse named "Milo". He was pretty good. I wish we had gotten to ride more though. Then we went back to Becky's parents' house and had a nice dinner. I got back to the dorm around 8:00. Bedtime.

I'm still reading About A Boy... that book is taking me so long. Every time I start reading it, I start to fall asleep. Speaking of falling asleep, last night I started watching RENT and I didn't even get through Tango Maureen. I fell asleep before they even started tangoing.

I've decided to start a new blog, but this one is more about current news events and such. It's called Why The French Hate Us. I've only done one post so far, but I'll begin on it soon. I think I need to make an edgy new background & layout for it. Hmm... I'm thinking some neutral colors... and hot pink. Hmm... maybe I'll add a tagboard & stuff. I don't know. I don't need a new project for myself, but I do love being busy.

Today I think I'm gonna go out with Benjamin to Kaya... should be fun.

Anthony Rapp Coming To SVSU!

Currently watching: Degrassi ... Oooooh its good

Today was a very nice and relaxing day. I got up around 10:00 and had breakfast with Lia & Amanda, then went to Nutrition to turn in my project. Then the professor turned on Super Size Me, which I have been wanting to see forever. Woot. Then I went to ASL. It was wonderful as always. I wish that people here knew sign language so that I could practice more. Around 3:00 I went to Kaya with Jayme and I got to do math. Not gonna lie, I was way too excited. I get some kind of unnatural high off of algebra. Then Benjamin came over and I yet again did his faux hawk. I'm becoming something of a hair dresser. Love it. Oh, and Jayme gave me this awesome stuff to use to make the faux hawks better. Woot.

Went to dinner, then went to class for a while. My teacher's assistant was wearing the most ridiculous hat. It was a pink John Deere hat. Utterly ridiculous. Whoa. My fish won't stop pooping in their "tank", there are fish turds lining the bottom & I already changed their water once today. Anyhoo, Ben & I went back to Kaya, then Phil & Aaron kidnapped us to go to Tim Ho-nuts... I mean Tim Hortons. I got really naseous around this time. I just got back from Phil & Aaron's & it's 2:30. Good times.

I heard that Anthony Rapp (Mark from RENT) is coming to Saginaw Valley State University on Monday, April 17 @ 7:00 to give the keynote speech about the AIDS Quilt that is travelling the country. I really want to go, like nobody's business. If anyone wants to go & preferably can help with getting a ride, let's do this!

Oh, and I don't think that I mentioned this before, but Paul Wesselmann is an excellent speaker, so if you ever get the chance to see him, do it. While we're on the topic of speakers, last night after the OGLP banquet, Ben & I went to check out the speaker that was at Plachta, Morris Dees. The NSM (National Socialist Movement) was protesting him. Yeah, they're the skinheads. Want to know how to freak me out? Yell mean things and protest against everything good. And be jerks.

I'm totally looking forward to horseback riding on Saturday! Woot! Now I'm off to watch RENT.

Hop The Border

So, what the hell is going on in this country? Yeah, I don't know either. I do know that I heard something absurd the other day. There's this whole deal going on about immigrants getting a guest worker permit so that they can work towards their citizenship. I can't seem to wrap my head around this issue. Why would anyone want to deny someone the right to come into this country, one that is clearly having issues with it's leadership, might I add. It seems to me that the borders should be open to anyone that may want to enter. What I find completely perplexing is that this country is chock full of immigrants. No one who is fighting against these immigrants has any right to, as it is quite likely that their families came here no more than a few hundred years ago. The only people that could possibly have an issue with this would be the Native American's, who the United States clearly could give a shit about anyways, as we've never asked their opinions before.

If someone could give a valid argument about why we should close our doors to immigrants, please let me know, as I cannot seem to. Just remember, you wouldn't be here if it weren't for immigrants. Gah.

I think we should all try to immigrate to Mexico, just to confuse everyone. Meet at my place at 9:00 & we'll take a caravan.

This week has been a blur of craziness. Monday I did a workshop, so I had to skip my Gerontology class. Good thing I worked it out with my professor first. I've been having some long days, let me tell you, I can barely distinguish between Monday and Tuesday and now it's already Wednesday. I'm really looking forward to this weekend. I'm going horseback riding with Jason & Becky on Saturday, then I think we're going to Becky's parent's house for dinner. Woot. I seriously need some downtime with my brother, life is just getting too hectic and I'm having a hard time dealing with people. Although I do thrive on being busy all the time, right now I feel like I have no support and thus I feel like hell about everything that I do. Don't I just sound like miss drama queen? Yeah, well whatever. I've earned it. Oh, and it turns out I didn't get that job at the desk. That fucking sucks. I'll just have to start hunting around for a different job now. I'm going to stop by the library to pick up an application I think.

Have I mentioned that I'm excited about going horse back riding? Because I so am. Those horses are gorgeous. Please just let this week end. Oh, and I'm not going home for Easter, does that make me a bad person? I honestly have no interest in leaving 3 weeks before the semester is supposed to end. I'd be shocked if the family got together anyways. Well... I'm off to Spanish. Hasta luego chicos.

Today was a fun day, we had Pridefest because it is pride week up here. Good fun. I got three fish. I only named one, Pedro, because he's the smallest one. After the fest, Aaron, Ben & I went to Kaya for a bit. That was nice. Then we went back to my dorm so I could give them faux hawks. They turned out pretty sweet, except for the fact that Aaron has about 32 cowlicks. Then we went to dinner downstairs. Good times. Ben stayed and we took a whole bunch of pictures, which was fun. I felt like a photographer. That'd be an awesome job, if I do say so myself. Too bad. I'm pretty sure we went back to Kaya for a bit. Damn those Chai Tea Lattes, they get me everytime.

Hmm... I'm updating from a Mac right now... I kinda like the setup of it, it would take some uber getting used to, but I do sorta like it a little bit. It's interesting. Although, for some reason, I don't have all of my options for blogging, like I can't do hyperlinks and change the text... which is sad, I'll have to fix it later.

I got all pumped to watch Grey's Anatomy tonight, only for it to turn out to be a rerun. Gosh darn it. OH oh oh! So I found Degrassi: The Next Generation episodes on the internet to download, for free! I found it in google video. I was pumped. And there are episodes from the season that just started! Woot! I'm pumped. I'm pumped and I want an i-Book. Damnit.

Today was such a special day. First of all, it's Nana's Birthday (75), so happy birthday Nana. Second of all, today sucked. So I'm in my car today around 2:00, going to pick up Benjamin for lunch at Max & Emily's, anyways, I'm in the library lot, as it is really close to the music building. I'm not quite sure what happened, but I pulled out of that parking lot, heard a funny noise coming from my car, and then I drove to the nearest lot, which happened to be the one in between Barnes & the UC. I get out of my car in investigate the crime scene and guess what. My tire is comletely flat. So I drive it about 20 feet to a parking space and get out to survey the damage yet again, like it was going to change. Oddly enough, it did change. Now my tire was completely off the rim and just kinda chillin' in the wheel well area. Boy was I pissed, because I'm pretty sure that that was the tire that was just replaced and apparently the Discount Tire people don't know how to seal a tire correctly. That said and done, I called Phil and Aaron so they could come pick me up. Soon we had 5 people in the car on the way to Max & Emily's. We ate and it was delicious, then we walked around down town for a wee bit of time, stopping for a minute at Green Tree. Woot.

Ben and I went to Jenny's to hang out for a while, along with Dave & Jenny's sister, Jill. Nick was cutting something up on the floor for the entirety of our visit. Around 6:00, we went back to the car, this time with Dave, who knows stuff about cars. Good thing my car comes with a jack that wouldn't lift a kitten off the ground. Long story short, we called my insuarce company because I have free towing and such, and they came to change my tire for me. Phil showed up sometime in here. As they were pulling away, my car wouldn't start. I think I pissed off God. After an hour or two, my car took a charge and I drove it away into the sunset.

Later I went to a benefit concert and Vanessa was playing. It was pretty good. After that, Phil, Ben & I went over to the party at Kristen's house. I promptly killed my second assassins target, Robert Emigh. Sweet. We stayed for a little while, took some interesting photos, then we left. Good times.

The Drag Show was such a success. Wow. I'm pumped. So I went to Phil's today and got clothes... but he sorta dressed me... how can I say? He dressed me like a lesbian. There, I said it, now get out your pitchforks and slay me. So I got redressed by random men and it worked out. I also bought a Fedora from Target because it was uber clearanced. Too bad I couldn't wear it for the drag show. I finally decided that I'd just wear girl pants, since my rear end sorta makes any pair of boy pants look like girl pants anyways. Oh, and Fifty did a goutee for me... then she got her saliva on my face. Watch while I die, I hate saliva. I think it worked out well though. I'll be posting pictures later. Our show was totally off the hook. I think the audience liked our rendition of NSync. It was sweet.

I think the best part of the show was the "after party" at Shoney's. That place is absolutely disgusting, first of all, that's why I ordered exactly a Coke. This was like the "La Vie Boheme" scene out of RENT, it was amazing. I think I went to dinner with about 4 professional drag queens. Amazing. And one of them bitched out someone. Woot. That's the way life should be.
