So... I've had quite a weekend

This weekend officially started on Wednesday night, as Lia & I had a sleepover and watched RENT. I think I've converted another. :) Sadly, I had to go to a few classes on Thursday, but whatever.

It was Sibs Weekend up here @ CMU. It was pretty fun. I picked up the chitlins (Rachel & Taylor) at Birch Run from my mumma on Thursday night. Friday was pretty cool, first we had Big Apple Bagels for breakfast, then we had to make a quick detour to the Down Under Foodcourt so I could do an interview for the Alternative Break to Florida this summer. I'll be rescuing sea turtles!! I'm so pumped for this summer, by the way. On to Sibs:

We signed in @ Finch around 2:00, where they had a bunch of fun stuff for the sibs to do, including face painting & balloon animals. We went back to the dorm after a while and played Mario & such, then went back for the comedy/juggling show and the magic show. The Jugglers (Team Rootberry) were quite entertaining, they definitely knew how to juggle a million times better than the average person. Then Ben (illegitimate cousin) called because he had brought his sister Sophie up for the weekend, which is Rachel & Taylor's actual cousin. He definitely called and said "Hey Sam, this is Ben, your almost cousin thing." Then we had the magic show, performed by Mike Super. He is pretty much magician crossed with Dane Cook. Fantastic.

Saturday we had breakfast in the commons, where Taylor saw another one of her cousins. Geez. Then we went to the carnival and they had a billion inflatable thingies, including a velcro wall and a bungee run. I personally enjoyed the bungee run a lot. It was sweet. Then around 5:00 we went back to Finch and helped set up for the Epic Hero / Everclear concert. I picked up the Epic Hero cd & shirt because they were really good (Um yeah, we've been myspace buddies for weeks ;) ). And because the shirt is cool. I think the chitlins had a good time at the concert, it was pretty cool. I wasn't too impressed with Everclear, but they were still ok, just a little bit full of themselves, and when I say they, I mean the aging lead singer. But I won't say no to an autograph or 2. Then I took them out for ice cream at Cold Stone at 11:02 pm. Becuase I'm a bad illegitimate cousin. Let's just say it was delicious, no point in making you guys jealous. Then we went back and went to sleep. Sunday we went to Big Apple Bagels for breakfast then headed off back to Birch Run to drop them off with Patty, Rachel's mom. She gave me a scarf. It's pretty cool.

To recover from the absurdity that was sibs weekend, I went back to the dorm and played Mario for approximately 4 hours. Then I went online. REAL PRODUCTIVE.

Today I'm gonna go to Maplewood & volunteer for an hour, then time for the SAC. Woot. Oh, and if anyone at all is interested in James Blunt ticket(s) let me know, if I don't find another unsuspecting James Blunt fan in the next week, my mother is making me sell the tickets because she doesn't want to go to the concert. Which I'm sad about, but I'm not that worried about it, it's not like I don't get to go to concerts.

So, I get home & a double murder occurs...? No, I didn't do it...

So, last night around 5:30, police in New Baltimore found a husband and wife that had been murdered in their home on Lempke street. Yeah, that's less than a mile from my house. Freaky, no? The last murder to occur was that of Justin Mello, about 6 years ago, then one happened 30 years before that. Whoa. But I couldn't have done it, I got home around 9:00 pm, so I'm not responsible, I swear. But yeah, I'm a little freaked out, as they haven't caught the suspects yet... I had to go outside about 20 minutes ago and I was totally scared shitless. I ran SO fast to get back into the house. But it's all good now, the doors are locked... I think. Damn, now I have to go check. But yeah, my parents didn't know about it until today when my mom & I were driving down Front street and we saw the channel 2, 4, & 7 news vans. Needless to say, my mom stopped and asked what happened.

Today I had quite a day, got up around 9 and mom & I went to breakfast at Country Inn. And guess who was there? Nana! Haha. She's great. Then we went to the mall to get some drapery. I'm not sure what else we did, but I got home really tired. Then I went up to the Rec to get some chairs & a card table for Euchre tomorrow night. Then I stopped by Middles School south to see Mr. Pagel... where I ran into... Cat? Yeah, she was there. That was strange. Then I went to see coach, then FINALLY, I went home. Now I'm just putsing around the house trying to avoid cleaning.

I adopted a hedgehog...

...on my myspace. He's pink & his name is Juan. I love him. H'ok, so... I'm super busy lately, but I love it. For the 3-Day, Lia & I have been going to the SAC & walking 3 miles. It's not that bad when you are talking to someone, it seems to go buy pretty fast. We'll probably go up about one half mile per week, so by the time we go we'll be very ready. We've already started fundraising, so we'll be sweet.

Oh oh oh oh! So I had a comprehensive hearing test this morning & for now, my hearing is normal. They said I need some other tests done, but I should be fine for a while. Although I am at the bad end of the spectrum of good hearing, so I have to keep tabs on it. But whatev, I'm so not deaf! Woot!

If anyone wants to go to a James Blunt concert on Friday, March 24 @7:00pm at the State Theater, let me know, I have one extra ticket. Oh, and if anyone wants to hang out this weekend, I'll be home so just gimme a call. I must be off to Community Health now, then we're off to the SAC, then dinner... then I go to GSA for our Valentines Day party, you know, we pass out Valentines from like 3rd grade... it should be sweet. Oh, then we're going to the Community Service committee tonight to see if they will give us their money. Sounds hot. Ok, class time.
Later my lovers.

I'm an old lady

Yeah, so my effing back is dead. I don't know what the hell to do, it hurts so bad. I went to the Chiropractor on Friday afternoon and it felt better for a day, but now its back to hurting like a bitch. I'm almost ready to go get a handicap sticker at Foust, but that would be bad. Lia & I went to the SAC today and worked out for a bit, ran a mile, worked out a little, then ran on the track for a lil bit. It was nice. Although now it feels like there is a battle of epic proportions going on in my back. Damn.

Oh! Last night's Grey's Anatomy left us on the edge of our seats. Those whores gave us a cliffhanger. CODE BLACK. There was a bomb in some guy's BODY CAVITY. Weird. Anyways, I'm in the Health Professions Computer Lab and the guy who is sitting next to me looks like a shorter Alex Karev. Too bad Cat isn't here, she'd probably jump his bones.

I advise everyone to read the book Skinny Dip by Carl Hiaasen. It is gonna be good. This lady gets pushed off of a cruise ship by her pathetic excuse for a husband and then she stays with the guy that found her to feign death. Apparently she's gonna royally screw with her husband. It should be sweet.

Ok, so I've gotta go read the news paper.

It's only been a week since my last post, why do I feel guilty?

So last night, Lia helped me spruce up my four year plan and now it kicks ass. I have some lofty goals for the summer though, let me tell you. First off, I've decided that it would be best if I sold my car at the beginning of summer, as the farthest I will have to go to work is the Village and that is 2.2 miles away, an easy distance on a bike. I don't think that I'll be needing a car otherwise and if I do, good 'ole mom & dad have two cars... Second, I'm gonna be taking classes at Macomb this summer, as it will save me a whole lotta money in the long run. Anyway, I only have to take these classes because they're UPs, which are University Program. They are dumb. But it should save me a few thousand dollars. All the while, I'll be working at the Rec, either as head lifeguard or as a counselor and contingent at the Village. Either way its gonna be awesome. Oh, and Kasy said I could teach a sign language class once a week, which would take nothing & it would be good fun. So, if I live through the summer, life will be good... but I thrive on being busy, so it should all work out. Aight, I've gotta get ready to go, Lia & I are on our way to the SAC.

She could see by my face, that I was FUCKING HIGH...

So, can I just clue all of you in to the fact that I am completely obsessed with James Blunt right now. He is brilliant. I've had You're Beautiful on repeat for like 2 weeks. Damn you Lia, for making me listen to that song. I'm actually listening to it right now.

I am reading the absolute saddest book that I've ever come across right now, so sad that I practically cried myself to sleep last night and I had to stop reading it today because I was crying in public. It's called The Whole World Was Watching by Romaine Patterson, a close friend of Matthew Sheppard. Its fucking SAD, but I can't put it down. Let me just tell you, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. Fucking a.

I wish I knew how to loop music on my blog, you guys would be so sick of my music within a day. But it'd be worth it, because it is awesome.

I'm definitely breaking a computer lab rule right now, I have my piping hot tea sitting next to the computer. Whoops. At least I'm not drinking it, its safely situated behind my backpack so that it will ruin a few hundred dollars worth of books instead of one of these shitty computer lab computers.

I think I'm going to start going to the ASL Club conversation hour at Kaya, I think I'll learn a lot. That could be helpful, since I'm gonna go out to RIT for part of spring break this year. Maggie & I are trekking out there, that's gonna be one hell of a road trip, we both have the same sort of fucked up sense of humor. Oh, speaking of ASL, Lia and I are going to a 'Signing Hands, Dancing Feet' performance on Wednesday at about 6:30, it should be really good, I'm excited. Alright, I'm done for now, I have to go back to my pathetically sad book before I go to Community Health to be bored out of my mind. Later.

I Ain't No Hollaback Girl...

Okay, so I've been listening to Gwen Stefani obviously. Let's see, I woke up at exactly 12:45 this afternoon. I can't figure that out, it's really late. I was only up until about 2:00am this morning, & I got eleven hours to cover that. Ugh. So my back is still killing me and I don't know why, damn curved spine.

Oh, mom! Guess what we forgot to buy that I didn't realize that I needed! Yeah, you got it. So, I'm gonna have to go shopping today and get some shit. Maybe I'll get myself a new fleece. I should do that. I need one. Bad. Hmm... Must take a shower first though. Then go shopping. Shower, shopping, shower, shopping, shower, shopping. Maybe I'll go get mum a prize at Green Tree, the local organic grocer. Love it. They have organic things! Woot. And "No Pudge" brownies, which I couldn't find anywhere. Sweet.

Aight, I'm gonna head into the shower. Ugh, we need to organize this damn room.

I love myspace :)

I have a serious problem with myspace, I can't get off of it. I'm obsessed with it. I post the most random shit on there. But it's addicting. Ok. So, James Blunt is coming to Detroit on March 24. And I'm going to see him fucking LIVE. And Cooper is jealous. But yeah, Lia and I are going, it's gonna be hot, and for only $23.

I just heard the funniest thing on Celebrity Fit Club. "Nuclear patients flush twice." Apparently their urine is a tad bit radioactive. Since when do I watch Celebrity Fit Club? Eh, it's not a bad show.

Best quote ever: "You are a lesbian!"

I think I'm gonna take a nap now. I'll post some more later tonight-ish.

So, my back is killing me...

Fuckin A, I wanna go to the chiropractor. 'Nuff said. I'm listening to quite an array of music right now, a nice mix of Los Lonely Boys, John Lennon, Franz Ferdinand, Weezer, & Green Day. Nice and hot. Umm, well today should be fun, as soon as my mom shows up, she should be here around 9:00 or so. It's gonna be sweet! Oh, I legally downloaded a song off of Sony's download store for free because I'm awesome, it's Madonna's Hung Up. Sweet Song.

Oh God. So I'm thoroughly obsessed with myspace... it's really sad. I love it though. Alright, I should probably go. I have some myspace-ing to do.

I come to you LIVE from the Health Professions Building!!

As with most Monday's & Wednesday's, I am in the Health Professions computer lab, waiting for class to start. Although today, I am very excited, my mp3 player should be arriving, in fact, it should be in the dorm right now... So, I'm trying to figure out what to do for Sibs weekend, if Trevor doesn't come up, I'll see about Rachel & Taylor, because I think that's something that they would enjoy a lot, and it would end up being a blast. So, I think that today is my easy day for classes, besides Wednesday, of course, since I only have 2 classes on Wed. Today I have class from 1:00 to 1:50, 3:30 to 4:45, and 5:00 to 5:50, so I'm in and out in about six hours, which is a lot nicer in the afternoon than it is in the morning, I cannot deal with waking up apparently, since I didn't wake until about 11:30 today. Blame Cat, we stayed up talking and laughing until about 3:30 am, since we hadn't really talked for a few days.

Alas, I must look over my notes before I go to class. I shall blog later or tomorrow, just depends on when I have something interesting to say. OH! Here's what the mp3 player looks like, IT'S PINK!!!


SOO EXCITED!!! Oh, I'll have to put a picture of the rasterbated wall on eventually as well.

Hoorah!

I learned how to play the famed game 'Hoorah!' last night and now I'm hooked. It is so much fun. It was first described to me as solitare football... that description sorta works. Umm... I'll be on later to update, right now I must straighten my hair and go to class. Laters.

I've found a new word...

Okay, so I think I've finally found the word that would describe my relation to all the Ruhlman kids, like Rachel & Taylor and so on: Illegitimate cousins. I like it. It works. So I got to talk to my girls last night, its been a long time. I was on the phone while my mom was at her euchre thing out at Jessica's house & suddenly I'm being passed around the party like a cheap whore. But it was good fun.

I guess I'm on a FRIENDS bender right now, I've been watching that show since last night & it was the first thing I turned on this morning. I cannot do this to myself, I'll be watching it for like 4 weeks straight... Bad Sam. So, I'm only gonna watch season 10, I swear. Damnit, I have laundry to do today. Fucking fucker! I don't want to. I really should though... I want to wear my hot pink scrubs again.

I'm having a real hard time trying to figure out if I want to change my housing request form for next year, I do want to live in Larzelere with Cat, but I want more space also... kind of a tough one, since we will be in the same room as we are now, and let me tell you, it's not that large. I don't know, I really wanna live in the new Towers or something, but whatever, it's already signed, so I guess that's what its gonna be. It'll still be good, I just want my own room, I hate keeping people awake :). Kinda looks like that smiley face has a birthmark... Okay, I think I'm going to go down to brunch... Later amigos.

Okay, I think I've decided on a blog background...

I'm OCD, so I think I've finally found a blog background that I can deal with, at least for now. I love pink & black, especially together. Umm... I'm just gonna chill in my room today, I don't want to leave, its too cold to go outside and too nice in here to leave.

Mount Pleasant needs to rethink their city planning. They need to think about their audience, if they had a mall and a Barnes & Noble... and maybe some laser tag... it would be wonderful. Anyhoo, today I plan on staying in sweatpants all day long. Its gonna be hot. I'm so excited for the day to go on.

Hola friends

Alright, take this quote, chew on it:

How can you be homesick if you've never felt at home? I heard it today and it sounded quite prolific, although it does not apply to me at all.

Mmmm..

Well, I changed around the blog a little bit, it's gonna be constantly under renovation for a lil bit, but it should turn out well. I really like the crazy British flag going on there, I made it, then I rasterbated it. Marvelous. The rasterbator sounds naughty, but in reality, it's freakin' awesome. It makes pictures into pixellated dotty things. I looove it. I'm rasterbating everything in sight... Diiirty. Okay, gotta go for now, organic foodstore and 'Brokeback Mountain' up next.

I ain't no hollaback girl, how many times I gotta tell you?

H'ok so... I believe that everyone needs to experience the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Give it a chance before you stop reading, as it shows the ridiculousness of the United States. Remember that thing called separation of church and state... somehow we forgot that "intelligent design" or "creationism" as some may call it, is an idea that is only accepted by one type of religion and thus should not be taught in schools alongside the theory of evolution. The only plausible way to teach creationism or intelligent design, would be to teach every single possible believe of how the world and/or humans were made, developed or otherwise implanted onto this earth. If creationism is taught, then I believe that it is only fair to teach the ways of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and his noodly appendage.

Anyhoo, now that that is over, I can talk about the rest of my day. It was alright. I went to dinner with Phil, Aaron & Ben, then we hung out in the Kulhavi computer lab for an hour or so until the GSA meeting. It was an interesting meeting, but it seemed so long. I want to be on the executive counsil really bad, it seems like it would be the way to get into the vice president position a little easier. But anyhoo, I'm just waiting for this DVD to burn, then I can go to bed. Ahh... 2 more minutes... that means I can go slip into my pajamas and go to sleep. Lovely. Goodnight lovers.

Sitting, Waiting... for class to start

So, I'm just sitting in the Health Professions Building computer lab, waiting for Community Health to start. I'm kinda looking forward to that class, but I'd rather that it was over right now, I'm getting rather bored of waiting. Let's see... I need to get my car tomorrow to take care of some clandestine business, good times. I'm so sad that sign language was cancelled yesterday, I feel that there is a gaping sign language hole in my chest. That was über melodramatic. Eh, what ever, I reserve the right to be melodramatic. H'ok.. so I guess I should probably go to class now. Later mis amigos.

I need Sudoku and I need it now...

Okay, in the last minute, I explained Sudoko to Cat and now I feel as though I must explain it to the world of my readers (last count, 5 people). I have a link to a Sudoku website on my link field, but it is a really easy game: Within the large box, there are nine smaller boxes with nine spaces within them. You must have each number in each box, then you must make sure that the number does not repeat in any of the rows or columns in the entire large box. Go play it.

This week has been horrible at the Village, we have lost 3 residents, which has got to be a new record in one week. Holy hell. And thanks to my informant, Scott, I do not go back to the
Village looking for people that are not there, because I have gone back asking where so and so was and then I am told that they passed. Shitty.

I went a little crazy with my Target giftcard and ordered a new mp3 player with it. I'm so excited, its pink and it holds like 512 mb worth of music. But I figured that I could use a new one, since my last one didn't even have a display and the only earphones you can use with it are very damaging to sensitive ears... and it was Christmas money, so I was expected to buy myself something I would use. See how I rationalize things? I learn from the best.

Sign language class got cancelled today, damnit. Of all the classes that could've been cancelled, she cancelled my favorite one. I wouldn't have minded if my Recreation for Senior Citizen's class was cancelled, or Spanish, but no, my favorite class. That did give me approximately three hours time to do what ever I wanted with. So... I ate lunch, then I sorta straightened my stuff... A little. But its not that messy. Just a little disorganized.

Okay, I"m gonna play a quick game of Sudoku. Then I'm off to Rec for Senior Citizens & Spanish... Then Program Board. I'll be back around 10.

It all comes back to milk...

H'ok so, my mother and I just had an entire conversation that culminated in her strange aversion to containers that have previously contained, could contain or will in the future contain milk products. My mom has a milk thing, where she can't touch anything that has had both milk products and saliva touching. It's weird, but I must have inherited that, because I can't drink milk after people, nor can I drink milk that has been sitting for more that a minute. Anyhoo, we were talking and I pulled a 10.1 oz Dasani water bottle out of my purse. The conversation went from pleasant to frightening in less time than it takes to slap a tick, let me tell you. She saw it and rage filled her weary eyes. (She just got off of work, weary seems to work in this situation). Long story short, my dad had one of the same bottles for about three weeks that he wanted to put his milk in for lunchtime at work and inadvertently forcing my mom to wash after he had drank milk out of it. The bottle in question was stolen from my car, by the way. On with the story... both of us were reduced to giggles at my dad's idiosyncratic need to have things, such as this water bottle, as his own, which people may not throw out. So whenever my mom sees bottles like this, she gets an unexplainable anger in her eyes and everyone must watch out. And you all think she's normal? Fuckin' right.

Ohh! It's 12:34 right now, how cool. I worked at 6:15am both Saturday and Sunday and I'm spent, I seem to be unable to keep my eyes open, but I will say that the aforementioned milk incident shows my parents oddities, but let me just tell you, they had an all out fight about CHER, of all things, people or places. Who honestly fights about Cher? Whoa. Could this family be anymore ridiculous? I think not.

So, tomorrow is the big trek back up to Mount Pleasant. Yay. I'll let you in on what an obsessive compulsive dork I am: I printed out roughly one ream of paper full of notes for 2 of my classes on Thursday, however due to time constraints, I was not able to organize them into their respective binders. Guess what has been plaguing my mind ever since I left. "I can't wait to put those papers into their binders." Oh oh oh oh. I think I'm gonna get a webcam, how can I not? They are too much fun, and besides, I'll be able to sign over the vast thingie we call the internet. Woot.

Sidenote: AIM is turning into my life, how scary? I actually talk to people from work... online. Only the good ones though. But seriously, how hot would it be to sign over the internet, in real time? Fuckin' right, it would be awesome. Sooo excited.
