Fireworks

Testing it out...

So, I'm currently testing out this new thing called blip.tv which is pretty sweet. It's gonna let me upload videos directly to my blog, which is going to make it amazing when I'm in New Zealand. Just click on the video, this one is from when Cat & I went to Chicago & saw the fireworks on July 3, 2005. Sweet graduation present :)

Click To Play

The videos seem to take a long time to upload, depending on what type they are. Windows Media Files (.wmv) upload really fast, while Quicktime (.mov) files seem to go slow as hell... interesting.

All you've got to keep is strong, move along, move along...

So I want a St. Bernard like whoa. I think they are quite possibly the most adorable dogs. Granted they poop bigger than me... they're still amazing. I'll hire someone to pick up the poop.
I've been thinking lately, I know I want to live in Chicago, or a comparable large city, but I don't know if I want to raise my kids in the city... maybe, but I don't know. I've been thinking about Boston lately, sounds like a pretty sweet place, I wanna visit. Washington, D.C. too, I need to visit there, I might be going there for grad school... maybe.

I'm going to go through more music today :)

I love how you talk about yourself

So I've decided something. I hate egotistical people. Like whoa. One egotistical person in particular, who always finds a way to talk about himself, no matter what the subject is. 3 points to the person who guesses first! Oh, and to those who understand and love the show Signing Time, I hate the host's (Rachel) smile. It looks fake.

I'm finding it hard to believe we're in heaven...

Currently listening to: Heaven Techno Mix by DJ Sammy
Currently watching: 30 Rock

So... The song that is up there is really good & it's been on at every club I've been at. I love it. But DJ Sammy came up with a really sad version, called the 9/11 remix. Super sad. Don't listen to it, Scotty made me and then I cried pretty much like a crazy person. It's a little kid talking about how they miss their dad who died. SUPER SAD.

Anyways, I moved all of my stuff home today. I wish I would have taken a picture of how full my car was, it was absolutely ridiculous, but miraculously, my pillows just kept letting me stuff them further back. AMAZING.

Ok, I think it's time for bed now. Shleepy time.

Long day ahead of me

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

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

Life is lame.

1 more day...

I'll be home at this time tomorrow. What a weird sensation it is to be finished with the semester & know that I'm not going back... And it's really sad :(. First off, not rooming with Cat is gonna suck, because we're practically sisters. Aaaand I seem to have made a lot of good friends in the past few weeks, which makes it that much harder to leave.

I can't figure out video games. I'm not wired for it.

Fucking Mario Kart

Currently listening to: Cat loosing her shit about teacher education

So I almost vomited today because all of the intense colors in the Mario Kart game. I just got accused of studying. Haha. If only they knew. So I'm sitting in my room with Cat, Melissa, Carla, Leo & Max, getting absolutely nothing done. Kill me now... I'm so tired. And I have a Spanish exam in the morning... afternoon. Whatev. I'm gonna die.

Ugh. I don't think I'm going to sleep. And I just googled sphincter. Oh snap.

Merrrpppp

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

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

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

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

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

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

Orgy in 319

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

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

Guilty Pleasure...

Currently Listening to: Hey There Delilah by The Plain White T's
Currently Reading: Seventeen Magazine... thank you very much

I just read a Seventeen Magazine cover to cover. It was amazing. That is your cue to shoot me in the face.

To Do:
~Central Auditory Processing Test 9:00am ... today
~Sook's CD Release @ Fifi's 9:00pm .. today
~Finish the God damn OC
~Fill out student visa application
~Email my reaction papers to Kendra
~Stop staying up playing on my computer

I should go to bed. Now... I have to be out @ about 8:45. Yuck. Plus, I have to eat brekkie before I go, as I won't be free until about 1:00. Damnit, now I've gotta be up no later than 8:15... 8:20.

I'm ridiculous

Soo... In the throws of boredom last night, I made a quiz about myself. Please take it, it's slightly ridiculous but it's fun. Umm... today in the UC there was a chocolate fountain. I about died. It was amazing. They were doing massages too... but I kinda don't want to be touched all over by a stranger. Ahh... I'm going to go nap & watch the OC. Later.

Cat... I'm a kitty cat. And I dance, dance, dance and I dance dance dance.

I can't help watching stupid YouTube videos.


I saw this one years ago, I think it's from ebaum's world. Hilarious. Even though we don't have a cat anymore :(. Watch watch watch.

Ok, one more stupid video... except this one is way worse. It's a recut of Seinfeld with Kramer (you know, when he completely freaked out and started calling people n-words). Surprisingly funny, if not a whole lot racist.

To Do

Currently watching: The OC... sad, I know

Watch the video. Laugh.


So... it's To Do list time again.

~Finish my HEV project by 6:00pm tomorrow
~Get something together for the ASL expressive exam on Wednesday
~Turn in my SLS II project for CDO tomorrow morning
~Sleep.

I know there's more, but I can't think of them right now.

This is why...

...we don't take mom out in public.

Currently reading: Without You by Anthony Rapp

So this book is intense. It had me crying like whoa. I'm not gonna lie about it, there's something about reading sad books that is amazing. Thanks to Melissa across the hall for telling me to read it & subsequently letting me borrow it. I'm already halfway done with it after 1.5 hours of constant reading.

I stopped doing homework and watching The OC around 11 or 12, then decided to go to bed. That was short lived. But instead of doing homework that I really need to get done, or studying for a test that I have tomorrow afternoon, I opted to read. Damnit. But I'll do my homework tomorrow morning and study like it's my job before the test, so I will at least remember the material for the 15 minutes that I'll be in the classroom.

Anyways, about this book. It's kinda about Anthony Rapp's (Mark from RENT!) life, kinda about RENT!, kinda about everything else. I didn't realize that Johnathan Larson, the guy who wrote the musical, died the night of the dress rehearsal, of an aortic aneurysm. Which made me cry like whoa. It was rough. Yeah, I'm not going to go into describing everything, but it's a really hard hitting book. I like it.











This is what happens when:
(a) Cat and I straighten our hair after watching The OC.
(b) We find a camera laying around.
(c) We decide, hey, let's take the obligatory Myspace ho pics!
(d) We turn into complete assholes
(e) All of the above.

Not gonna lie...

The Best Week Ever Live show wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. Lame. But it was still quite interesting to see. Mike Britt, Melissa Rauch, Nick Kroll & Pete Holmes were the panelist. I personally liked the standup part better than them trying to re-enact the show, but whatever. Pete Holmes is a silly bitch. Here's something of his below. The funniest thing all night though was Melissa Rauch's pot joke. She was talking about how the public service announcements about pot are not really that accurate and that they should put people on there that are smoking pot and trying to order a pizza. I wish I had gotten that on video or something, because she did the funniest thing I have ever seen, but it would be lame if I tried to recreate it here. All I can say is that she said pepperoni about 900 times. Pepperoni-roni-roni-roni-roni... dude, is that the word for sliced red meat in little circles?

Legal music downloading... Free?

So I found this completely awesome website in Rolling Stone magazine, www.spiralfrog.com and it is a legal downloading place that has signed with some major and independent record labels. And the best part? Completely free. The only way this works is that the website is supported by ads, the person downloading (each download is 90 seconds) is forced to stare at the downloads, the record companies get paid w/ money from the ads. It's amazing. There is a downfall or two though: You can't burn this music onto CDs, you can only put it on mp3 players. Also, the music is not supported by Apple, so it won't play on an ipod. But it's awesome for the other people, like myself, who are too poor for an ipod. I'm pumped. The site is supposed to be operational later this month. Woot.

Sad + Happy = Emo Kid

Sooo... Woody has been missing for days and we've come to the general consensus that he's not coming home :(. I don't even like that little fucker, but he's part of the family. Lame. Enough sadness. Cat and I are still binging on The OC, we're almost done with the second season.

So tonight could be the Best Night Ever. I mean the Best Week Ever. Live. Yep, the Best Week Ever guys from VH1 are coming to CMU to do Best Week Ever Live @ Plachta tonight @ 9. I'm so excited, I live for that show. I haven't watched it in forever, but I'm in love with it.

Well, back to The OC.

Lalalalala

Ok, so... I don't know whether or not I have my interviews today, as campus is closed as of 12:00pm, due to ... a little bit of snow. Lightweights. I've already emailed all of the people I was supposed to meet with today, but it seems that no one checks their email. I also am having trouble with my AustraLearn advisor, she is not returning my emails, which is just a little more than pissing me off. Ahhhh. Ok, that's about all I've got right now, I'm sitting in a computer lab locked out of my room. But I'm on a Mac, so that's fun. The only thing I hate about Macs is the fact that when I'm on the blogger.com website, I can't really edit anything that I'm posting. Lame.
