Aaaaahhhh the sweet feeling of accomplishment

So I actually did homework pretty much all weekend long. It was amazing. I feel like I'm on top of everything right now, but don't worry, I'll be myself in like a day, when I realize that I am a douchebag.

Funny story -- I was downloading an episode of The OC the other day so that I could catch up on what I missed... and when I started watching it, I was sadly mistaken. It was definitely not The OC. Instead, Cat and I found ourselves watching ANIME LESBIAN PORN. Awkward. But then we started following the story line & it was funny as hell, so we made popcorn and watched anime lesbian porn. But then one of the crazy girls had sex with the devil and the devil had approximately 5 penises (penii). Slightly awkward. Effing hilarious. Although they killed a puppy :(. That's sad.

Oh, and we're definitely binging on The OC (the actual show, not the porn), we've watched about half of the first season in under 24 hours. We are ridiculous.

I've found a pet peeve. So say someone is on the phone (person #1). Say there's another person sitting next to them (person #2). Then say that there is a third person on the phone. Then let's just entertain the idea that person #3 says to person #1 about person #2 "Can ____ hear me?". That is never a good sign and it is rude, especially when person #2 CAN hear you. Ok, enough ranting. A word of warning? Never ask that question on a cell phone, they are really loud.

Ok, I said enough ranting, but that wasn't really enough, I feel like an emo kid. I'm pretty much sick of everything and everyone. I can't wait until I escape to a foreign land. 94 more days. Maybe the emo will be gone tomorrow, it's hard being pissed off at everyone. I'm going to go to sleep before I offend anyone... else. :) I may have love for you if you're reading this... maybe.

No one mourns the wicked...

This photo feels slightly Andy Warhol to me... I LOVE IT. & I only take a small amount of the credit for it, because Cat definitely did the hard labor. But I helped with decision making! Aaand the nerds that we are, we ALL put it as our myspace backgrounds.

Anyways, the reason this pic is so fun is that we were all sitting @ my kitchen table on the last night when we were hanging out & being assholes, so Coop took pics of the three of us, then one of us took a photo of her & then 3 months later, Cat & I are bored & decided to be amazing. I think it totally captures our personalities like WHOA. I'm a nerd. I'm so nostalgic for summer :(.

Okay, so I've decided to make a giant awesome calendar for myself on www.30boxes.com. I feel like this is going to help me be more organized. Or at least I'd like to think so. I really hope it does, because the next few weeks are going to be brutal for me, I have soooo much to get done for study abroad and my classes. I have 4 exams, 3 on Monday & 1 on Tuesday, so I'm pretty much going to die. Butttt I get to see my COOP on Wednesday! I'm so pumped, we haven't seen each other in like 3 or so months. So that's something fun to look forward to. Oh, and Thanksgiving. Should be a grand old time. I don't even know which family members I'm going to see this year, but I don't think Jill & Jen are coming :*( because they're going to the Lions game. I do get to see my big brother though! And Becky :). Oy vey, I'm gonna stop typing now, I feel myself drifting off. Goodnight all.

Umm... apparently I can't be trusted to nap.

Ok, so. Today I've napped in between each thing I've had to do, including classes. I had the most effed up dream ever between 11:08am and 11:39am. I should really get an award for this one. Anyways, before I fell asleep, I was talking to Cat, which seems like it would help with this absurdity. So in the dream, I was in my bed and Cat and John were in her bed and John thought I was sleeping, so he said something mean about me, and I heard him, so I told him to fuck off. Then jump to a few hours later & I walk into the UC with Lia & the weather is normal. Then I walk out and the sky is black & it's hailing. And Cat is in some sort of shed with an open face that has lights in it... and she's stretching in a frilly purple leotard. And she wouldn't come in to the UC because she was mad at me because I told John to fuck off. Whatev. So then the weather is eerily normal and she's in an emerald green convertible El Camino... which I don't really think is a convertible sort of car, but to each his own. And she's driving off and yelling at me, then I started to cough up something that resembled the inside of those rubber bouncy balls, so I threw it and it bounced. I have no idea why I was holding anything that I had coughed up. Anyways, then I woke up, coughing.

Catching up on life...

Currently listening to: Show Stopper by Danity Kane

H'ok, so, I've got a giant list of things to do in the next few days, I figure that I might actually do them if I post them on the internet for the world to see.

1. Do all my Spanish homework that I neglected @ home.
2. Take my CDO Exams. (One is today :) )
3. Take my Spanish Exam (Monday)
4. Go print off my ResLife Applications to be an RA/MA next year.
5. Find out if my loan is going through ASAP, because I might die if it doesn't.
6. Go to the Study Abroad Orientation on Friday.
7. Find out when all of my final exams are.
8. Catch up in ASL.
9. Do two HEV projects + a little bit of homework.
10. Hearing test tomorrow morning @ 9:00... which means no sleeping in. Lame.
11. Get the notes from all of my classes. CDO 230, CDO 330, ASL 100, ASL 201, HEV 100H, SPN 102
12. Go to the gym today.
13. Study for the CDO 330 exam I have in an hour. Ugh.

Things I'm Jealous Of...

The new ipod shuffle. It's amazing, it is not only a 1G mp3 player, but it is a clip. It clips right on to your pants or your bag, or MY pants. Amazing. I want to find a rich kid & steal it from them.



This pink & black kitchen from the IKEA Catalogue. Amazing. I cannot begin to describe how much I want a pink & black kitchen. Wow. Truly inspired ;)

Life overhaulin'

So... I've decided that I've got some goals for the next three hundred and sixty five days:

1. Figure out how to pay for studying abroad in New Zealand. I'm praying for some loans/scholarships.

2. Get my ass in shape.

3. Learn how to sew. And maybe learn how to put rhinestones on things... because I like rhinestones.

4. Get a position as an RA.

5. Save money.

6. Get my ass in shape... again.

7. Stop drinking pop... and juice... apparently it has just as much sugar.

8. Drink water.

9. Figure out why I am suddenly enthralled with super heroes.

So, hopefully some of those will come true :)

Here it goes again...

I LOVE this video... and this song. Hooray for Ok Go.

Borat!!!

I think I'm going to go see Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan... more commonly known as Borat. I'm pumped, its supposed to be a hilarious view of the United States. Woot. I wanna be an ex-pat. Anyways, I'm standing here in the kitchen washing dishes and such. So I'm obviously bored if I've resulted to doing dishes. I'm out.

It's really not fair to anyone who's in the path of the four of us because with our powers combined, we're horrible people...

Currently listening to: Fergalicious by Fergie

So the title of this post sums up life. Or what happens when you get my core group of friends together. I wish the four of us could hang out more, but sadly, we only get to wreak havoc on the world during the summers. Lame. But somehow, we're amazing. The thing that is awesome about the four of us is that we didn't really hang out in high school, I mean Cat & I did and Coop & Steph did and Steph & I did and I was kinda friends with Coop, but the four of us did not hang out. Then something happened... Although I'm not quite sure what that something is. But, I became awesome friends with Coop and started inviting her to Rocky Parties that I was having, that both Cat and Steph (under protest, as an anti-Rocky Horror Picture Show person) came to, and the four of us just clicked. It's pretty much amazing, I think it's because we're four people that couldn't be more different. Anyways, I don't know what I would do without the three of them, no matter what, we're the ruling quartet.

Summer can't come soon enough.

I've been reduced to watching The OC... and it makes me cry

Currently listening to: The Pick of Destiny by Tenacious D

So now that I've been home forever, I've finished the entire third season of The OC. Now the fourth season is on TV.... and I can't stop watching it. God damn mother fuck. In other news, I get to go back to school this weekend and Steph & I are going go the midnight skate for Alternative Breaks. I'm kind of excited. Aaaaand I'm actually looking forward to going to classes.

Ok, time out, Grey's Anatomy just made me cry. I think my hormones are off, I'm crying at every God damn thing I see.

Tomorrow I plan to go to MacDonald Public Library and catching up on homework from this week, it shouldn't take that long, as I only have a few assignments to do, but I need to get myself out of the house, I'm going stir crazy. And slightly ADD. And when I say slightly ADD, I mean extremely ADD.

I'm getting so excited about going to New Zealand, its unbearable. I filled out my housing request form the other day and I found an awesome apartment over their, only five minutes from my campus. I'm super excited, as I'll be living with 4-5 other people, who I think will be native New Zealanders :). Wooooot. Okay, I'm gonna go.

Found the coolest thing ever... in the whole world

Currently watching: The OC Season 3...

So I've found the most exciting software ever. It's kind of a mix of the Mac OS and Windows XP... and it's free & pretty sweet. I believe it's called flyakite.osx, but either way, it's AMAZING! I swear, it has all the sweet features of a Mac but everything that I still love from PCs... I'm in love. :) I bet this is kinda like what Microsoft Vista is going to be, its supposed to be way more user friendly... :) WOOT. Looks like I've found something new to play with while I'm sick in bed!

Desperate Housewives...

Currently listening to: Put Your Records On - Corinne Bailey Rae
Currently reading: Fried Green Tomatoes - Fannie Flagg


Okay, so I was watching Desperate Housewives and it was pretty intense... long story short, crazy lady shoots up a super market & Lynette got it in the shoulder. Not gonna lie, the show made me cry. Anyways, I'm ridiculous. So now I'm watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition... and it made me cry too. Oy vey. Since I'm pretty much out of commission for the week, I've decided to catch up on The OC. Which makes me, if possible, more ridiculous. I can't help loving that show. Anyways, I should go to sleep now, I'm taaaard.

Wayyy too much Tivo...

Ok. So. I'm in New Baltimore, pretty much on bed-rest for the next ten days. LAME. I went to the Dr. today & I don't have pneumonia, but I have an amazing bronchitis that is totally kicking my ass. Which means I'm not allowed to go back to school, effing doctor's orders. So I pretty much get to lay on the couch & watch my parents Tivo. It is fun though... but there is a limit to what you can Tivo. So life is pretty lame right now. I'll probably be on aim all week, so hit me up some.

I've found the most amazing soy milk...

Currently reading: Just finished The Hours by Michael Cunningham

... anyways, this soymilk, 8th Continent, is amazing. It almost tastes like real milk! Haha, I know, I'm ridiculous. I've really got nothing else to say but that. Laters.

Ugggghhh.

I feel like absolute hell. I keep sneezing & every time I do, I think I'm going to puke. And I have a super headache. Add sinus infection to my ridiculous life. Anyways, done complaining.

In other news, I've been watching Discovery Health for a few hours now. I love it. Right now there's this guy on Dr. G, Medical Examiner, that was found in his apartment... decomposing. He was green. Ew... and yet fascinating. I've been watching this channel on and off since I got home. I've also been watching Little People, Big World and Scars. I'm addicted. I should get my ass off the couch and stop watching TV... but I won't. I'm feeling so lazy right now, I don't even want to go back to school Sunday night. But I must.

Snap. I just had a reality check.

Oh and I can't even go to Jill's Halloween party this weekend, as I'm pretty much dead.

I'm dead...

Yeah, so I'm not going up to school today. I'll go tomorrow in time for ASL 100 @ 6:00pm. The only reason I'm going there is because I have a 'midterm'. When I say midterm, I mean that I have to sign a song. I'm going to do "Light My Candle" from RENT... because I'm amazing. If I didn't have to go to that class, I wouldn't be going back until I absolutely had to. Right now I'm watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition... and I'm definitely crying because this show gets sadder every week. God damn. So this weekend has been completely ridiculous, I have an upper respiratory infection and strep throat. Then I gave my disease to my parents. Now I'm just chillin' on the sofa.

It's Signing Time!!!

So I've found a new television show that I thoroughly enjoy... the downfall... it's made for preschoolers. But it's a signing show. :) I'm pumped. And slightly ridiculous.

Whatev.

I wanna make a full length ASL movie I think... let's do it.

So I ended up taking a coma...

Yesterday I woke up... at about 3:00 pm. Only about fifteen hours after I'd gone to sleep. I think sleeping that much indicates one thing. Severe illness. Anyhoo, I've decided after much deliberation, to come home this weekend, as the volunteer thingie I was supposed to do decided that they needed 25 people as opposed to 40, so I jumped ship. I get to go see a doctor on Friday morning. Hooray for me. Now I'm off to ASL then GSA. Sweet.

This week will kill me.

I just got an email telling me that I've been accepted to the Study Abroad program for the Spring!!! I'm pumped. Yesterday I also got my American Red Cross Donor Registration Card. I'm O+, which means I can give blood to anyone but I can only take from other O's... sweet. I'm going to die this week. That's pretty much it.

I'm bringing SexyBack...

Hmm... it's been a while. Life happens I guess. It feels good to write about nothing in particular. So... the last month... well, my computer has been on the rag. I just got it sorta fixed today, so that I can go on the internet at school. The Geek Squad is overrated, I gave them my computer to fix & they lied about fixing it. I want a Mac.

Last week was Deaf Awareness Week. Here's a wee video I found on CMLife.com. I really enjoyed the Peter Cook performance, I went up and had a conversation with him after his show. Apparently he is a professor @ Columbia College, so I told him that Phillip is a professor there as well. Not gonna lie, I was pretty much excited by that.

Oy vey. I'm super tired, I came home this weekend because I feel like hell. I stopped at Jill & Jen's & gave them my Pink cd & Jill let me borrow one with some awesome songs on it, so I'm pumped about that.

I'm sick of life right now. First of all, I love spinach... but apparently we're protesting spinach on account of e.coli. God damn e.coli. Second, the whole world is sick. Third... I'm super freaked out right now, there was another double murder in New Baltimore, the couple was found today on Washington, in their garage. Shitty. I did get a chai tea latte today with Scotty boy, that was fun. I think I have a coffee date with Ms. Margaret tomorrow, as she's up from school for the weekend.

So on a way more exciting note, I'm studying abroad in the spring. Where? New Zealand. I'm stoked. I somehow made everything work. I'm utterly shocked that this worked out.

OH... I'm liking the tv networks idea about putting entire episodes of television shows online for those of us with a schedule. Now I can watch Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, & anything on The-N... Yes, I watch Degrassi & South of Nowhere like its my job. I'm lovin' it. Anyways, I know a few major networks do it, including ABC, CBS & NBC. Sweeeeeeeeeeet. All the cool networks are doing it.........

Ok, I'm watching SNL, apparently I can't get enough of the Tivo right now. Later mis amigos.
