Stupid books...Yay gifts!

My day pretty much started out with me going to get my books for winter quarter...*hate* Before dad and I left for that, I drove Matt home and I went to the bank to get out some money for said books. I ended up paying like $332 for my books...I only had 6 freaking books, and it cost me $332! Hopefully the theater book that Dad has is the same as the one I bought today, and, if so, I can return the one I bought next week and just use his... and returning that book will give me an extra $56 to spend on something else more important than college books!
I had to go visit Kate today to pick up Jess's ring, but I couldn't go until either Mom got home or my car got fixed and ready to pick up...I ended up taking my car. *heart* So, I took Kate her CD that she left at my house, picked up Jess's ring, talked to Kate for like 5 minutes, and then left to go home. When I got home, it was about 10 til 5, so I started gathering up my crap to take to Christa's for the gift exchange. It was really weird because I was the first one to get to her house...I even got there before her. ;) I forgive her, though, cuz she was buying herself a compy to use for college, so it's cool. Hanyways. At Christa's, we (me, Britt, Jess, and Christa) exchanged and opened our gifts. I got a wonderful shirt that talks about peoples' suffering..it's wonderful...I also got a Stewie keychain, and it has 6 wonderful Stewie phrases on it *heart* and I got a huge Hershey's Kiss from Christa (aka: the Biggest Kiss Ever) Then, when Steph and Nikki showed up, along with the pizza, we had pizza and we proceeded to play Scatergories, which is a really fun game, if you can think of wonderful words that go along with your letter. I stayed for 2 games, and then I had to leave to come home, get some money from Mom and go to Wal-Mart to buy a Christmas gift for my aunt and uncle (and a b-day gift for my aunt) because we're going to see them tomorrow, and Mom wanted to get them something. Apparently I had to shop for them because Mom's busy working, but when I got back from Wal-Mart, she wasn't at her desk working. *angry face* And my aunt and uncle are almost impossible to buy for because they think everything above a PG rating is scadalous and vulgar. *stab* It's not really that bad, but it's pretty damn close! ;) So, I finally pick them something out, with the help of Mom (I had her on the cell) and I go home...and I immediately come upstairs and get on my compy. :) I was so excited, though because when I got in the car to go home, Footloose was on the radio, and I heart that song..and it's playing on Media Player right now, by the way. ;)
I'm looking forward to raping, I mean...seeing the Plaughers on Saturday...it's gonna be so BIG! ;)

Lyrics

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and seeI'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to meMama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has comeSends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to dieI sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo,Gallileo, Gallileo,Gallileo Figaro - magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go - will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him goBismillah!
We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go - let me go (never)
Never let you go - let me go
Never let me go - oooNo, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for mefor mefor me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby - can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me

FREEDOM!

I finally did it...I took my driver's test today, and I passed. I only missed 17 or so points, and about 10 of those points were for something dumb, but I don't really care about that because I PASSED THE TEST! I have been in a really good mood all day...now, all I have to wait for is for my car to be fixed, which is happening on Thursday, and I will be all set...I won't have to depend on my parents for rides anymore! Though, with my newfound freedom comes consequences... from now on, whenever Mom needs something from the store and I happen to be home, I'll be sent to fetch it..and I'll also have to pick up the boys from school whenever I can (which sucks). But, in this case, the positive aspects outweight the negative ones, and I think I can live with the somewhat negative consequences of me having my license.

Why does it suck?!

I went shopping today, thinking that I'd be able to finish Christmas shopping for a few people still on my shopping list...DENIED! I couldn't really find anything that I liked for anyone..and if I did find something, they didn't have the right size...*twitch* fucking wenches *twitch* Why does my life have to suck so much?! I finished shopping for one person...I still have like four more people to buy gifts for before we have our gift exchange...and I have to finish shopping for one of my Florida friends and her family sometime this week so I can mail out the package. And I can't forget about Eva!... I have to get something for her, but fuck if I know what to get. (does that make any sense at all?...oh well...) Hanyways. ;) Oh..that's great...I'm so frustrated that I now have a stomach ache...go me! *stab twist pull splatter fling splat slide* :)

WTF

It's almost 2:30 in the morning Christmas morning, and I can't sleep. I have to be up in about 6 hours for church, which is gonna suck, cuz I don't think I'll be getting to sleep anytime soon. For some reason I'm wired or something. I took drugs to help me sleep..they kicked in for like 5 minutes and they made me a little drowsy, but that's worn off. WTF! Aren't drugs supposed to do their jobs? I mean, sure they were allergy drugs, but they usually work for making me tired, but not tonight, I guess. So, if sleep does ever come to me, I'm going to be a big bitch in the morning...and if it doesn't come, I'll be a big bitch later on in the evening, and maybe tomorrow. ;)
When I lie down and try and sleep, all I can do is think of everything that I don't have done, and everything that's coming up that I'm dreading and I just can't sleep! I think about all the Christmas shopping I still have yet to do, and how I don't know when my deadline for some of my friends is because I don't know when we're exchanging gifts. I also think about how classes will be starting up again soon and how some of my friends will leave and how the rest will be busy juggling class and work and they won't really have much time for me in their lives. It makes me a sad panda. :(
I was hoping that staring at the computer screen would make me tired, but I'm denied. It kinda makes my eyes hurt, but it doesn't really make me sleepy. WENCH! Why can't I sleep? It's not like I'm trying to work out in my mind what gifts I got, because I know pretty much every one, because I told my mom what I wanted, and she got it...I mean, I have a few surprises in store for me, but I'm not racking my brains trying to figure out what they are. WHY CAN'T I SLEEP?!

Ahh shopping..and Halo

I went shopping with Britt, Kate and Tabby today. That was fun. The shopping part wasn't all that interesting... we didn't goof off as much as we usually do, but the ride home, that was...fun. Tabby and Kate were in the front, which left me and Britt in the back, and she was like on crack! Kate denies lacing her cheerios this morning, but I think she's lying. ;) It was just one of those slap-happy things, where one person starts laughing, so you laugh, and you can't stop, but you're not really sure why you started, you know? And then we got back to Kate's house and Britt was still slap-happy. And Kate's dad bought us pizza and made us cookies, which was wonderful! (we heart you Dad!)
At Kate's house, we played Halo, and me and Tabby sucked really bad, and we were playing against eachother, and it was a miracle if one of us killed the other one...it took us like 5 minutes to aim and shot and kill. ;)

Narnia

I went and saw The Chronicles of Narnia today with some friends. It was an awesome movie...and it was a lot more amusing that I thought it was going to be. (me and almost everyone seated to my left laughed when the dwarf got shot..it was great!) I'm so glad that I didn't decide to read the book right before seeing the movie, because I probably would have been disappointed that some things were changed or left out or whatever. I still have to read the book, and hopefully not too much was changed for the movie. :)
After watching Narnia, we all went and hung out at Pizza Hut and ate a bunch of appetizers, like we always do. I don't think anyone ever orders real food when we go out to eat. Hanyways. ;) And after the food, me and everyone that was sitting to my left at the theater rented Moulin Rouge (the Blue Tape..only it was a DVD so it wasn't THE Blue Tape) and watched it at my house. That was wonderful...there were some "virgins" in the room, so we got to rape them with the video. I always have a sense of accomplishment after being able to rape someone with a movie they haven't seen (ahhhh).

Irritation

I really get irritated when people call my phone (either my home or cell phone) looking for other people. I can understand parents calling the house looking for their kids if their kids don't have a cell phone, but some of my friends just call me looking for other friends. "Oh, is so-and-so over at your house?" and when I tell them "No," they pretty much hang up as quick as possible without being too rude. I just get angry when people can't call my house looking for *gasp* ME! And when people call my cell phone wanting me to relay a message to one of my friends...GRRRR! *pounds fist into palm* I went from getting about five calls a week to getting about twenty, and most of them aren't for me! I don't mind doing it occasionally, because I know that I sometimes call a friends cell phone and ask if another friend is with them, but I usually have something to ask the person I'm calling besides whether or not someone is with them. *angry face* I don't know why I'm so bitter about this right now, but I am, so I decided that I should blog about it, because I rarely blog about my feelings...so yeah, here are some of my feelings!

Ahhh..Christmas Time!

I love this time of year. The snow, the shopping, wrapping gifts, giving gifts. I was wrapping some gifts this evening and I realized after only a few that I was all out of gifts to wrap...it was so sad. I would have had some more to wrap today, but I wasn't able to go shopping because there was a lot of snow and the roads were too crappy to go out on. *bitter* Hopefully the shopping trip can be rescheduled for sometime next week...though, it's cutting it a little close, and I'm not even half-way done shopping yet. CRAP! A little over a week left before Christmas... by this time, I'm usually at least done with my family's gifts, but denied. I have packages that I have to mail out, too..but that probably won't happen until after Christmas, because I'm already poor. Well... I have to get my room ready to be raped tomorrow, so I guess I'm done posting now. *grins* I have a flamming squirrel and he's so cute..I just have to name him..soon. :)

Final GPA

I finally have my total GPA for the quarter, now that I finally got my grade for History. I got a B in that class, so I no longer have a 4.0. I now have a 3.68. While that's a good GPA, I still wish I would have had a 4.0 because that would make me feel special. :)

GPA update

I just checked my grades and I got an A in English, so I still have a 4.0 right now...I just have to see what I got in History. I probably got a B and that's gonna bring my wonderful GPA score down...*tear* But, it could be worse. Hopefully since I did well in English, that means that I'm in the running for one of those campus book store gift certificates, because that would be freaking sweet!

I've decided

Well...I've pretty much decided that I'm going to go ahead and dye my hair purple. I tried the temporary stuff just to see if I'd like and..and to make sure it wouldn't react weirdly with the red dye that's already in my hair... and I decided that I do like it, so I think I'm gonna go for the permanent stuff. The only thing that could stop me would be me not being able to find a shade of purple in the permanent stuff that I like...and I really hope that doesn't happen. So yeah, with any luck, by the next time you guys see me, I should have purple hair, as long as everything goes smoothy, which rarely happens for me, but we'll see.

My GPA

Well, so far my GPA is 4.0, but I only have the grades from 2 of my classes, which were both A's obviously. I still have 2 other classes that I don't have my grades for yet. Hopefully I didn't completely screw up on my history exam... if I didn't, then I'll probably get a B in that class. I don't really know what to expect from my English class. I'm hoping that I got an A because I felt like I did well all quarter in thatclass, but who knows?
In English, we didn't have to take a final exam, but we had to turn in a portfolio, which included what we thought were our two best papers from the quarter and our peer edits from editing our peers papers (obviously). I guess he'll use the peer edits to give us participation credit or something, but I don't know. I do know, however, that this portfolio will make up about 50% of our grade, and if I don't do well, well, that's gonna suck for me. I also hope that I do really well on the portfolio because if I do, there is a chance that I could get a $100 gift certificate for the campus bookstore, which would be freaking awesome!
I really love my psych professor because she let me take my exam, even though I was almost an hour late for it! When I gave her my excuse, which was mostly valid, I kinda stretched one part about it..the part where I said that I knew the exam was that day. I thought the exam was on Wednesday, but it was on Monday. I can't believe how stupid I was that day! And I didn't fail that exam, even though I didn't get a chance to study at all for it. Had I known it was on Monday, I probably would have looked over my notes sometime Sunday, but I didn't.
So, I lucked out on the psych exam, but I'm not so sure I did that well on my history final. I didn't study for that one really. I prepared myself a little for the essay part, but that was about it. If I didn't completely screw up on that, then I may have a fighting chance to get a decent grade on the exam. I know for a fact that I missed at least one question on the other part of the test..but I know that because it was a fill-in-the-blank question, and I left it blank. :)
So... hopefully I will have learned something from the horrible melt-down session that I went through after finding out I was 20 minutes late for my exam, and I won't screw up like that again. Actually, the next time finals roll around, I'll probably be all paranoid and keep checking my exam times every 30 minutes. ;)

#1 The SMART-ASS ANSWER OF THE YEAR "THE TEACHER "
A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. "Now, Class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury or illness, or a death in your immediate family but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!" A smart-ass guy in the back of the room raised his hand and asks, "What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?" The entire class does its best to stifle their laughter and snickering. When silence is restored, the teacher smiles sympathetically at the student, shakes her head, and sweetly says, "Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand.

Wow!

I can't believe that this is the last week of classes for Fall Quarter! After this week, we only have finals (I have one next Monday and Wednesday) and then we're done until after New Year's! This quarter went really fast! If all of them go by as quickly as this one, I should have my diploma in no time... theoretically.
With winter break comes Jess and Britt coming back from Columbus! YAY! We'll have almost three whole weeks to rape, I mean, spend time with them. ;)
I'm so excited about Christmas this year! Aunty Boo comes back! I haven't seen her since summer and I'm going through withdraw! Katy better not try to hog her all to herself! *angry face* I can't wait to fill her in on everything that's happened in her absinthe, I mean, absense. ;) And New Year's is gonna be fun this year, too. :) And maybe we'll all actually be able to be in the same place this year?.. hopefully.

Another Hottie!!

Well... this picture shows one of the best parts about the new Harry Potter movie. While the movie was good, it was very little like the book.. and some of it was a little disappointing. However, the actor that they chose to play Cedric Diggory was anything but disapppointing! [Katy, you can have Ryan Reynolds.. I don't need him anymore!..;)] The only bad part is that he won't be in the next movie...*tear* But, at least Robert Pattinson (the actor) isn't dead... though he might be after I...nevermind. ;)

SO EX-CI-TING!

I'm so excited about the new Harry Potter movie!! *bounces around at the computer while trying to type* I just got finished with the fourth book about forty minutes ago and I really want to see the movie now! I was originally going to take my brothers to see the movie tonight at 7, but Ben had a dance that he wanted to go to because his girlfriend would be there...*mutters about stupid males*... so those plans got changed. But I was going to go with Christa tomorrow and see it, so I was kind-of fine with not seeing it tonight. And then, I was talking to Becky and she said that she's seeing it tonight and I started to think "well, I don't want to be the only person I know not seeing it tonight!" And it occurred to me that Tabby might want to go see it, so I called her, and sure enough, I was right. So we made plans to see it tonight at 9. I'm so ex-ci-ted!! I can't wait!

Boot the sickness to the face!

I really hate being sick, but apparently it likes me. So, I booted it to the face yesterday, hoping it would leave or die, or something, but I was denied. One awesome thing though was that I wore my "Allergic To Stupid People" shirt today, and I was sneezing pretty much the whole time I was on campus...it was great! Though, I wish that I could have like forced myself to sneeze when certain people walked by, cuz that would have been even more wonderful.

Do you know what's worse than feeling like death?...Feeling like death on a stick.
Do you know what's worse than feeling like death on a stick?... Feeling like deep-fried death on a stick...which is how I'm feeling right now!

Rapage is not a real word, but it should be!

Well, me and Katy went and raped Tabby in Madam's room today, cuz it's her birthday and all. I think we embarrassed her... it was great. We had Madam play the birthday song and we all sang to her... :) It was fun. We threw a nice, colorful F-bomb into her locker (that's for you, Onion). We also went down to lunch with her where Katy and I had the opportunity to rape Michael. That was lots of fun, too. By the way everyone, it's official... I'm married to my brother. Katy decided that she adopted Michael today at lunch. In case you guys are wondering, he's the baby from Johnny Depp that she's been pregnant with for..forever now. She now has to go out and get pregnant again so she can have her birth control back. (Katy believes that if she gets pregnant by someone that she can go have as much sex as she wants without having to worry about getting pregnant again, cuz it can't happen while you're pregnant to begin with.. though I think it would be funny if she ended up having like 12 babies from 12 different daddies!) So yeah... I'm married to my brother.. way to go me! Next thing I know I'll be having his baby.. if I'm not pregnant already...doy de doy. I'm such a slut... just like Mommy dearest! *wonders who Katy will rape for her next baby..?*
So, my family is getting really big. If Mommy doesn't stop sleeping around so much, we're gonna run out of branches on our family tree! Sooner or later, she'll run out of non-related people to rape and she'll have no choice but to rape her children.. oh wait.. she does that already! Watch your back, Michael! ;)

It's a mini-vacation!

I'm so ready to go to Columbus this weekend! I need a break from my life here. I had two tests today, and I can't help but feel like I failed both of them... mostly because I didn't study a whole lot for either of them. I know that I always say that I'm going to fail my tests, mostly because I've learned to always expect the worst, so if I do well, I'm really surprised... but I really don't think I did well on these tests! Oh well... I'm sure I'll have time to make up for the bad grades a little before the end of the quarter.. even though we only have three weeks left and my teachers don't exactly hand out a bunch of bonus stuff.
Anyways... I'm excited about going to Columbus with Katy and hanging out with Jess and Britt! I really hope that something doesn't come up at the last minute that will keep me from going! I don't see any reason why I wouldn't be able to.. but my karma doesn't always make sense to me. So guys... what are we gonna do while we're there? Do you have lots of fun stuff planned for us? I hope so... I wanna have some fun this weekend!

Bad Llama!

I really need to stop procrastinating! My papers and test scores might turn out better if I would actually write them or study for them before the last minute. Right now, I'm writing this blog when I could be writing my English paper, or reading the three chapters out of a book that I'm supposed to have done for class tomorrow. I could also be preparing for my history and psych exams that are on Wednesday, but... I'm not being a good student and doing all that stuff. I wish that I didn't get distracted so easily! If I didn't have ADD, I might be able to get some stuff done! ;)

Do I...?

Apparently I sound like a pornstar when I say "Oh" a certain way... not even meaning to say it that way. And, I guess I can make the phrase "bad diabetic" sound dirty. Maybe it's just a guy thing or something to be able to pick that out...I don't know. Do I sound like a pornstar to you guys? (How in the world could anyone possibly think that the phrase "bad diabetic" can be dirty in any way? What kind of porno would have that line in it?... besides probably a low-budget one, but I'm sure they can come up with something better to say than "bad diabetic"!)
I know that a lot of you readers of my blog might think that this is a weird topic to blog about, but I just feel like writing about something, and I decided that I could write about my "pornstar voice" or whatever it is, and get some interesting responses from you guys. I'm interested in seeing what the males who read this will say as opposed to what the females will say... this could be fun!

Saturday night

The Plaughers came to my party on Saturday! It was wonderful to see them again! I miss my Plaughers. (and yes, Jess, they're my Plaughers) They're my Plaughers because Mommy adopted Sarah, so now she's my sister, so HA!
And Onion-face came back from college and we got to rape her, just like the old days! *poke her in the side* And me, Katy, Brittany, Christa and Cody all hung out, and we had a few Smirnoffs and stuff... it was fun.
The worst part about the evening was having to babysit Matt and make sure that he didn't die. There for about an hour I had to keep going into the bathroom and checking on him about every 15 minutes or so, and make sure he wasn't choking on his vomit. It wasn't fun. But, we still managed to have fun, despite that.
We should all get together again soon and hang out. I miss hanging out. Maybe next time we can actually get everyone together. Maybe when the kids in Columbus are back for Thanksgiving or something? It'll be fun.

This is for you, Katy!

It's that chocolatey-coated icecream loaded big and thick, no room for a stick. What would you do for a Klondike Bar?
Well... we all know the kinds of things that Katy will do for crack (by the way, she's a crackwhore, in case you didn't know), so I can imagine the kinds of things she might do for a Klondike Bar... especially since it's "big and thick" and we all know Katy loves things like that! :) I love you, Mommy!
P.S. Hey Mommy! Fuck the cloud! *said in funny voice that makes you crack up laughing* :)
P.S.S For all of you who don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, call me or something and I will be glad to explain it to you... as long as I can remember what exactly I'm talking about, that is.

That was awesome!

Ok. My cousin, Eric, is visiting us... he came from college. Anyways. We were sitting on the couch in the living room, Mom was on the loveseat and Nick was on the couch, too. He was trying to poke me in the side, or do something to pick on me cuz that's what he does, and I was shoving his hand away and he must have noticed my wedding ring. He grabbed my hand and said something like "She's already engaged?" Well, I had to set him straight, cuz, after all, I'm not engaged, I'm married. So, I pull my hand back and I say "No, I'm married." Apparently Nick heard this and he was lying on the couch at the time. He shoots up into a sitting position and gives me this shocked expression... almost a gasp, but not quite. I guess he thought I was really married and hadn't told him about it and he was wondering when it had happened.. you know, one of those situations. Anyways. After seeing the look on his face, I was laughing too hard to explain to him about me being married. Everyone in the room was laughing there ass off... it was wonderful. It's really hard to explain his look of surprise... I'd have to show you for you to get the whole effect. But, it was awesome!

There... is that better?

I was about to leave the game room for my history class when Foster asked me if I had any Tylenol on me. I told him, "No, sorry." He responded by saying, "Wow, you said 'sorry'... I didn't think that was in your vocabulary." His comment received a few chuckles from the people sitting/standing around us. Thanks to my quick wittedness, I was able to think of a response within a few milliseconds. I said, "Fuck you, asshole." After saying this, I asked him, "There, is that better?" to which he responded, "Yeah," and everyone laughed. Fwah Fwah Fwah! His attempt to out sarcasm me failed miserably! I am the champion!
I also got his sister, Kristen, to cheer for the pool balls, instead of Sam or Foster, with me. It was wonderful. I even got her to say "rape"... just by saying that I hadn't managed to get anyone to say it. Another wonderful thing happened. We both said "Ha ha" in stereo when Foster missed a shot. It was awesome. I have corrupted someone... and it didn't even take that long! YES!!!! Now I just have to get someone to say "Wot wot wot!" and I will be able to retire... well, I probably won't retire, cuz corrupting other people is so much fun!

You're having a baby?

Last night, I decided that I should bring the baby blanket that I'm crocheting for my friend to college with me today so I could work on it and bring myself closer to finishing it... cuz her baby will be 1 in March... so I need to start working on it! Anyways... I got to the campus around 10:20 and I went to the Game Room and I had to "study" for my English grammar quiz that I would have at 11:30. After I finished "studying," I pulled out the blanket and started working on it. A few people commented on the blanket, but I don't remember what they said. Everyone went back to their conversations after about a minute, and I continued working on the blanket.
A few minutes later, Thomas (aka Gerbil) looked over at me and the blanket and he was just watching me crochet. Then he asked, "Is that for a class?" I replied, "No. It's for a baby." And he was like, "You're having a baby?!" I laughed and I said, "Yeah. But I'm not really sure who the father is... there were a lot of guys at the party that night." *dripping with sarcasm*
Last night, I kinda figured that someone might end up asking me if I was pregnant... but I didn't expect them to be that...shocked/serious when they asked! It was wonderful... I thoroughly enjoyed that. The look on his face and the tone in his voice (one of surprise) made it all the more wonderful!

I didn't expect that one!

Today, Sam and I were in the game room, like we always are before our classes start. We were talking to Foster and Kristen, brother and sister, who I met through Sam. Foster was in the middle of telling us how much of a bitch his last girlfriend had been when the maintenance guy turned on the vaccuum. So, since we couldn't hear what he was saying, he proceeded to move his mouth with the words and act out parts of what he was saying. When the vaccuum turned on, I looked away from him, assuming that he would stop talking and wait for the guy to finish before continuing. I just happened to catch some movement out of the corner of my eye coming from his direction, so I glance over at him. I do this just in time to see him humping the air... apparently he was showing us what his girlfriend did without him while they were dating, but I think he just wanted to hump the air... that's my opinion. So,... I was left with a mental image that will probably haunt me for the rest of my life. "thanks Foster!" *stabs self in the eyes, trying to remove the image, but fails*

Crappy Day

I hate the fact that my dad is in college, too. He always has homework and he thinks that it should come before everything else. I remember several times last year when he would yell at us if we walked through the living room and a floor board creaked when we were passing through. It wasn't exactly like that, but he expected us to stop living in our house when he had homework to do.
Today, he's supposedly going to be too busy with homework to do anything for dinner, so he wants me to make something. I said that we can have leftovers, because I don't feel like making anything. All I wanted to do today was relax... but, apparently I can't do that. And, I was watching TV in the living room, and he asked me if I could watch it upstairs. I went upstairs, but I don't see why he can't use his freaking desk to do homework at!... that's what it's there for!I mean, I have homework, too... but I don't have to be pissy with everyone because of it!
I'm probably just over-reacting, but it really pisses me off when he does this kind of crap. I'm just really stressed out with college stuff... so I guess that I'm easily pissed off. Maybe I need to smack someone around for a little while?.. maybe that will alleviate some of my stress?... and it would probably make me feel so much better!

My Next Pet

After looking over the last few months and all of the problems that I've had with my animals in the past, and recently... such as my hamsters escaping from their cages and Bandit getting out of the house. After reviewing all of these experiences, I've decided that I don't want to get another animal unless it's really freaking awesome! They're just too much work, and I don't think I'm willing to add more responsibility to my already full plate, unless I'm being responsible for the most awesome animal I've ever had. So, I was thinking about what kind of animal would be awesome enough. I like snakes, but I could never feed one, and they've been done before.. lots of people have snakes. Hedgehogs are interesting... but I already know someone who has one, so it's not original enough. I've wanted a chinchilla for a long time, but they need lots of space to zip around, so, since I don't have a spare room to give one, I've decided that having one and caging it up would be cruel, so, no chinchilla for me... yet. ;)
As I'm sitting there, running through all of the animals in my head that I've never had, I come across the idea of having a squirrel. Squirrels are cool, and they're cute and fluffy, and most people don't have pet squirrels. So, a squirrel was definately at the top of my list. Then, my mind wandered to a cartoon on albinoblacksheep.com that Brittany showed me, and I decided what my next animal would have to be.... I would have to have a fiery squirrel! It would have to be able to engulf itself in flames and make people face his FIERY SQUIRRELY WRATH (fwah fwah fwah) ... especially stupid people who need their balls cut off!
Unfortunately, I will probably never come across such a squirrel, which makes me really sad, but I'm sure I will get over it. Maybe I will just have to settle for a regular squirrel?... or, maybe I can get a flying squirrel. That would be awesome! So, if I'm ever ready to have another animal, it's probably gonna be a flying squirrel. Unfortunately, it will have to wait until I have a place of my own, because I don't have anywhere for the squirrel to fly/run around... and again, caging it up all the time would be unfriendly.

Free Food!

I've decided that the only reason to drag your lazy ass out of bed and go to college every day is that there is always the prospect of getting free food, or just free stuff, but mostly it's the free food. For instance, yesterday, they were giving away free Red Bull and pizza, even though I missed it and I was pissed! I could have used a Red Bull yesterday so bad! And today, they had some comedians performing in the courtyard and they were giving away free hotdogs and chips. I got free lunch today... which is nice because I can use that lunch money for another day, which means that I can potentially have more pocket money later on... but, probably not because I'm a poor college student. That's another reason why free food is great... because they will feed you sometimes and you don't have waste your money on cafeteria food, which is ok, but it's not that impressive.
I should be going to class every day so that I can learn all the stuff for the quizes and tests and stuff, but, no. I go to college for the free food. I'm still really mad that I didn't get any Red Bull! Not that I'm bitter or anything, but... I kindof am. ;) Maybe I'll bring my Rip It to school with me tomorrow?... that would possibly help me stay awake in History... that would be especially good since I have a quiz. doy de doy.

A Walk Down Memory Lane... or maybe it was just the Highschool's Hallways?

Well, today Katy and I went to the highschool at 11:30 because Tabby told us that she was having pizza in Madam's room during the lunch mods... she basically bribed us with free food. So, we went and hung out in Madam's room for about an hour, until Tabby left. Then, Katy and I walked down the hall and talked to Mrs. Epperly for a few minutes. Then the bell rang and she had to go and teach her class and all that, so we walked past Mrs. Wills classroom. She wasn't in her room at the time, and she had a class of what looked like freshmen, so we didn't go in and wait for her to come back.
After attempting to see Mrs. Wills, Katy and I went downstairs to see Mr. Schuler, because he runs Mr. Neumier's (don't know how to spell it.. so, I hope it's right) lab because Mr. Neumier retired and all that. She talked to him for a little while about computers and all that stuff. When we left the computer lab, we walked down to see if Mrs. Harmon was in her room or if she had a class. She had a class, so we didn't want to stop in and interrupt, though we should have because Michael was in her class that mod!
Then, when we couldn't go see her, we wandered up to the library; we were going there to wait for the bell to ring so we could stop in Mrs. Harmon's room. We spent about thirty minutes in there between looking through all the fictional books (they actually got some more books this year!) and Katy talking to the librarian. Katy found some more books that she wants me to add to my list...YAY!.. only, not. :)
When we got done talking to Mrs. Harmon, we realized that it was ninth mod, and that Mrs. Spencer had a free mod, so we stopped in to see her. We stayed there for about thirty minutes, too. Hey Britt, I saw your band practicing while we were in there! The flag corps had orange and purple flads, which clashed with each other... I was wondering if maybe they're just their practice flags?... I don't know. But, Mrs. Metz came into Mrs. Spencer's room and she had to talk to her, so Katy and I got kicked out... but we were ready to leave by then, anyways. There were so many teachers that we didn't get to visit with, but it's hard to find time to see them because you don't want to interrupt their classes and all. Maybe next time!

Classes

Well, today was my first day at college. I had to be on campus for about eleven hours; that's because I had to go up to the campus today at 8:30 because my ride had a 9:00 class, and my first class wasn't until 11:30. The reason that I was there all day is because my last class didn't end until 7:40... actually, that's when it's supposed to end, but she let us out around 6:55, which was awesome. I got out of all my classes early today. It was great.. I wish that it would be like that every day, but, denied.
My English teacher's first name is Kelly, but he's a guy. I was expecting a woman to walk up to the front of the room, and then this guy goes up there. I shouldn't have been surprised, because "Kelly" is a unisex sort of name, but, I was! English wasn't too bad. I had homework, though... I had to write about what "torture" was and whether or not it was justifiable. Britt, you'd probably enjoy this class!
History wasn't too bad, either. There were too guys in there from my highschool. Unfortunately, they were guys that I never really talked to then... so I probably won't talk to them now. ;) I have to get my text book for history, yet.... that was the only book I forgot to get, and it's probably the one that I'll need the most for that class. *smacks hand on forehead* So, I'll probably be in the bookstore tomorrow hunting that one down!
Psychology was pretty fun. I actually knew some of the stuff that we talked about. We did a little True/False quiz today that wasn't for any points... I missed 5 questions out of 12... go me! And I will probably do really well in the class because the only grades we'll have will be from our tests, which are multiple choice and cover the information that we go over in class. As long as I read the chapters and pay attention, I'll be fine!
I'm excited... Christa and I have our survey class together tomorrow! I'll actually know someone in one of my classes, well, someone that I actually talk to, anyways. Hopefully the class is easy. I really don't want it to be difficult!
College isn't as bad as I was dreading that it was going to be. Hopefully it's not too hard. I hope that I haven't overloaded myself with my classes. It would suck if I failed one of my classes! I probably won't, because I don't like getting bad grades, but, you never know.
Well, Jess and Britt, I hope you guys' first day was good! And good luck on the band audition, Britt!... you'll do fine!

Am I ready?

Well, as you guys know, college starts tomorrow, for a lot of us. I finally got my books and my backpack (which I'm so proud of because I got if for $7 at Wal-Mart...and it's purple) today. Way to be last minute, huh? I have my classroom numbers and the names of my teachers and all that jazz. But, I can't help but feel like I'm forgetting something. My worst fear is going there and not being prepared. I feel like I should read some of my books before class starts, but I'm really too lazy to do that; plus, classes are tomorrow, and I don't have enough time. I just feel like there is something really big and important that I'm not going to remember to do, and I wish I could figure out why I feel like this! Maybe it's just nerves; but, maybe there is a reason for it? I really hate this feeling! It makes me all nervous and crap, and it's probably all for nothing, too! That's the story of my life!
While I was out getting my school stuff, I also took the opportunity to get other things, too. I got myself a bad of tennis balls, which makes me happy, even though I'll probably never use them! :) And I also got myself a pair of tennis shoes, just for playing tennis. I was surprised that I could actually find a pair of white-bottomed shoes that I liked, that were in my size. That almost never happens when I'm at Wal-Mart! So I got some cheap white shoes so I can play tennis without getting wenched at cuz my shoes don't have white soles (ha ha... my Vans have black soles... that makes me laugh... you know, the whole good vs. evil crap... white vs. black. I'm probably the only one who will laugh, but, I'm used to that!)
There is a small part of me that is excited to start college, because I'm curious to see what it's like... but the majority of me hates it, and I haven't even started! :) I know, I'm talented like that. By the way... Jess, I saw something at Wal-Mart that made me think of you! They had these pens by the check-out that I was at, and they had the Disney Princesses on them, and one had Belle on it, and I remembered you saying that Beauty and the Beast was your favorite movie when you were younger, so, I thought of you when I saw that. You should feel special! I still haven't found a purse with the Beauty and the Beast scene on it... but, maybe you'll get lucky enough to find one?... probably not, but, this is me thinking positive! :)

It's amazing!

I think that I'm actually getting better at tennis. Probably not, but I feel like it. I actually tried today. I put forth some effort and ran my ass off. I still need to work on serving and actually hitting the ball and not having it fly over the fence or into the net. I'm probably going to hurt really badly in the morning, and I get to walk around campus and buy my books and all that tomorrow. YAY!
Speaking of college and books... I'm really not ready to start! I don't want to be in school again. I sometimes wonder if I should have taken a year off after highschool. Maybe I should have gotten a job and worked for a year and saved up some money? I mean, there are a lot of things that I could have done instead, but, if I did take the time off I would probably have a hard time going when the year was over. Wow, I just talked myself out of that. That was fun... I should do that more often! :)

Tennis

I went and played tennis today with Tabby and Katy. Tabby's getting really good.. and I suck really bad. Of course Katy is good because she was on the Varsity Tennis team and she's.. awesome at tennis. She may think she's not that good, but she's a tennis genius compared to me!
I've come to term with the fact that I'll never be any good at tennis. I can't run and get the ball... I can't remember all the rules... I can't serve... I can't hit the ball very well... I can't do a backhand swing... I can't hit using both hands, which is why I suck at hitting the ball most of the time.
I really like to play tennis, because it's fun, but I can't play to save my life! Maybe if I actually put forth some effort I might improve a little... but, probably not, because I gave an effort today, a lot more effort than I thought was in me, and I still sucked really badly! Obviously I wasn't meant to play tennis, but, I can still have fun and try and hit the ball, while failing miserably and smaking myself in the face with the racket. ;)
Maybe if I got some tennis shoes, you know, ones that actually have padding on the bottom and don't make your feet hurt if you just wear them to walk in, then I might actually be able to improve on my game a little? Of course, if that works, then I actually have to work on remembering all the rules, because I will be expected to know them if I can actually play a little. *thinks to self "should I really get some new shoes, then?"* *begins to argue with self about trying to play better and not be so lazy* *smacks self in face because she's talking to herself* That was interesting. :)
I want to be good at tennis, I really do... I just don't see it as being possible for me. It really sucks to have to tell yourself that you suck at something and that there really isn't anything that you can do about it, but, that's what I have to do now.

Renaissance Festival

I just got back a little while ago from RenFest. It was so much fun! There was so much stuff there that I wanted to buy, but, sadly, I couldn't afford! It would have been nice to get Jess that Super Wench shirt, but they didn't have it this year.. it made me sad. And it would have been cool to buy a belt and get a coin purse and other stuff to put on it. Or maybe a cloak, or a dress... or maybe even some elf ears! Maybe the next time I go, I can find something that I can afford? I could have gotten a dagger, but I didn't really want one... except, they had this really shiny silver one that had blue jewels encrusted in it... I could have gotten that one, but I was saving my money for something I really wanted, but, I was denied.
Maybe next time, too, we can dress up.. that would be lots of fun. And we wouldn't feel silly or anything because everyone dresses up. It's like an early Halloween celebration. I have lots of things in my closet that I could use to make a suitable costume with. And, it would make me happy to be able to dress up twice a year, instead of just once.

Makes me happy!

This picture makes me so happy! Not only is it Orlando Bloom, but he looks like he's a vampire! Guys with pointy teeth are hot. The first time I ever thought that Brad Pitt was hot was when he played Louis in Interview With A Vampire, and that was because he was a vampire, therefore, he had pointy teeth.
Orlando Bloom is hot enough as it is, but you make him look like a vamp, and *swoon*. I know that I'm probably weird for liking pointy teeth but, hey, every girl's got her thing... unless, of course, you're Brittany, who has no hormones!
Now, all that's left for me to do is wait for him to be in a movie where he actually plays a vampire. That would make my year!

Exercise

So, this is what it feels like to get off your lazy butt and go for a long-ass bike ride. It's not too bad. I just feel really bad for Britt, because she rode all the way into town and to my house, and then to the highschool and then to Tabby's house, and now she has to ride all the way back to her house again. Poor Britt... I hope she doesn't die! She's supposed to go with me to RenFest when we go with Katy. I don't want to be all alone with Mommy!... She'll kill me!
Brittany.. you CAN'T DIE! Don't leave me all alone with that heartless bitch.. I mean, wonderful mommy of mine. I really shouldn't say bad things about her... after all, she really doesn't hate me as I had previously suspected. But, it's not like I didn't have reason to suspect it. After all, if you really loved the child you had, would you go out and adopt another one just to piss her off? I wouldn't, but that's what she did!
Wow. I really got off the topic there... what was it again? *scrolls to top* Oh, yes, Exercise. I think I've had my exercise for the next week. ;) I won't have any need to do anything else until I start college next week. Of course, I'll have to do something, running back and forth between buildings for my classes and stuff.
And now, I'm going to go regain all those calories/ounces of fat that I worked off today by eating a big bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup and lots and lots of biscuits! :)

I'm losing them.

Well, I had to say good-bye to one of my best friends today, because she's leaving for college tomorrow night, and I probably won't see her before she leaves. It makes me really sad. One of my other best friends is leaving this Sunday, which makes me sad, too. I don't want college to start! I just want to hang out and have fun... pretty much do what we're doing right now. I don't want to have responsibilities, like homework and reading and paying attention in class. I just want to spend time with my friends, having fun.
I'm not a big fan of change and people moving away. That's probably mostly due to the fact that my dad was in the navy and we moved five times. But, I really don't like many things to change, and friends moving away and me starting college is definately a BIG change! Everything will be so different! Hopefully I can still keep in touch with those of my friends who aren't moving away and we can hang out every now and then. Of course I'm going to keep in touch with my friends that are moving away.. even if it kills me, which I hope that it doesn't because then my keeping in touch would be pointless because I would be dead and we would lose touch anyways.

I don't suck?

Apparently, after all my convicing myself that I suck at tennis, I don't really suck. This is news to me. I'm always just happy if I can hit the ball. Who new that I have potential skill? I know that I suck right now, but I was told that I could get better. My friend, Katy, told me that I had improved over the summer, already. Supposedly I played a few "games" with her and Britt, even though I don't remember them, and she told me that I've improved since then.

I don't know if my brain can handle all the rules for tennis. I can barely handle telling it that I need to hit the ball with the racket that's in my hand! Maybe with practice I'll get better, like Katy says. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I'll never be awesome at it, though... I can tell you that right now.

We did it!

Last night, Britt and I got Katy's yard. We didn't do all the normal stuff, like toilet paper and shaving cream, although we did use shaving cream. We wrote messages out on her car and her lawn with it. We also got her car doorhandles with Vasaline. Lots of things that nobody outside of our group would ever understand. We also hung a green apple from her tree and poked toothpicks in it to add some majesty(again, something people on the "outside" would never understand). We also picked up some fake blood from Wal-Mart and dunked some tampons in it and hung them on her bushes and also hung a few from the floating apple. The tampons are also an inside joke. To top everything off, Britt drew some gnomes and we stuck them in her yard using plastic knives. It was wonderful. I know that it doesn't seem like we like Katy very much, but, we do.

Britt and I had fun, but I don't think that Katy enjoyed having to clean up all the mess. I can understand her being mad at us... though, I don't know yet just how mad she is because she wouldn't really talk to either of us today when we saw her at the tennis courts. Oh well.

Katy, if you read this, you have to understand that what we did to your yard we did out of love! And maybe a little bit because it was funny, but it was mostly because we heartses you!

I don't wanna!

I don't want to kill my dnd character off! I've grow quite attached to her, and it would make me sad! I agree with Brittany... the character should go off and retire and live out their lives happily. I understand that we're probably not going to be able to use them after everyone starts college and stuff, but I don't want to kill them... at least, not my character.
Speaking of dnd.. did you have fun smoting things last night, Jess? You seemed like you were enjoying yourself... at least for a little while there.

Stupid fog!

Because of the stupid fog, school was cancelled today. Normally, I would be happy about a fog cancellation, if I was in school and it meant that I didn't have to go. However, that's not the case this time.
Because of the fog, I have my brothers at the house all day. How am I supposed to have a good day when they and their friends are here all the time, and being loud, and... male? Stupid fog! Now, when I make the homemade pizza, their friends are going to stick their dirty, grubby little paws all over it, and then it won't be fit for anyone else to eat. Boys are so gross!
Well... hopefully Ben will still go over to his friend's house today, and at least I will be one brother down, which means that only half of the little grubby friends will be over. That makes me happy!

Hamsters!

I got the crap scared out of me last night. I was sitting on my bed finishing up the first Harry Potter book when i catch something small and brown surrying across my floor out of the corner of my eye. When I look over, I see ChunkyButt, my hamster. It took me a few seconds to react because I was caught so off guard. I jumped off my bed and rushed over to my closet door, where Chunky was sniffing around. He started to waddle back to my door and I thought he was going to squeeze under my door before I had a chance to catch him. Fortunately for me, he's not the brightest creature on this planet. About a foot from the door, he stops. I take advantage of his pause and I hurry up and grab him. He didn't put up a fight or anything... He must have been ready to go back to his cage. When I got to his cage, I discovered that I had left the door of the cage open. It never occured to me that they could get out because the opening is at the top of the cage... I guess I was wrong on that one!
I have enough hamsters getting out of cages and disappearing, and I don't need to start helping them. I guess I should be more careful... Never underestimate the power of a stupid hamster!

Where do I stick them?

I officially have all of the Harry Potter books, thanks to my friend, Becky. I also have two other really big books, The Chronicles of Narnia and volume 1 of The Belgariad. It makes me happy to see all these books; I only have one problem... where am I supposed to put them all? I don't have a bookshelf and my desk is full of crap. I don't want to just leave them laying around because my brother might pick one up and run off with it.

The new bed that I want to get has a headboard that could act as a bookshelf, but, I don't have that, yet. I guess that I will just have to split up my little library and stick the books wherever I can find a spot for them right now, and hope that I get my new bed soon! Though, I wonder what I will do if I manage to own all the books on my list?... where am I going to put all those books? Maybe I'll actually buy a bookshelf... someday. ;)

False Alarm

My mom called me today while I was out with some friends and told me that another one of my baby hamsters had escaped from the cage. So, I thought I would come home and discover one of the cages to be short a hamster when I went into the animal room to feed them. So, when I was feeding the hamsters, I counted the number in each cage; there were three in one cage (mommy's cage) and six in the other (daddy's cage), which is the number that I had before there was supposedly another one missing.

The only conclusion I could come to was that the corpse my dad found was one of the two hamsters that went missing and we never found a body for. I don't want to think about why it took so long for the body to surface; it probably had something to do with my cats. They were probably hiding it and saving it for later. *shudders*

So, I got all upset for nothing; but, at least we know that the mom didn't eat both the babies... well, we know she didn't eat the one, but we're not sure about the other one. Give it another week, and I'm sure the body with surface.

Book List

I decided that I needed to make a list of all the books that I want to read... mostly because I will forget them if I don't. The list is really long and I know it will take me the rest of my life to finish it; hopefully I will at least enjoy reading the books!

MALES!!!

Males are so stupid sometimes!... actually, it's a lot more often than "sometimes"... we women just don't tell them that. :)

I'm IMing with my cousin, and I mention that one of my friends (the one that he "dated" for a little while) was asking about him. He thinks that maybe he should give her a call. I ask him what he could possibly have to talk to her about, since they never really talked when they were "dating". He said "stuff" and he also said that he wanted someone "new" to talk to... I asked him how she could be "new" since he obviously knew her when they were dating. He asked me for her number and I told him "No". He proceeded to try and brib me for it. First, he offered $40... the next time, he offered $100. I know it was stupid, but i didn't take the money. ;) I wouldn't do that to my cousin.

I just wish that he could understand that them talking and being friends makes me uncomfortable. It made me uncomfortable when they were dating, so, naturally, I will be uncomfortable if they become friends. I don't like to be uncomfortable with my family, or around my friends... it's just not friendly!

How come?

Michael.. how come you never post a comment on my blog? I read every one of your blogs, and I post a comment on almost every one... well, most of the newer ones, and what do I get for it?.. NOTHING! That just shows me how much you love me... your own wife! That tells me just how much you love me.. which is not at all!

Well.. just see if I don't get you a woman's shirt for your birthday and force you to wear it! Maybe I'll make it a belly shirt. Yeah.. and I'll make you wear it to school the next day. FWAH FWAH FWAH! After that, we'll just see how much you come to appreciate me!

So much fun

I had so much fun today, hanging out with my friends! We didn't really do much, but I think it was just fun talking... we're hilarious together... we have such odd conversations, but we amuse ourselves, and that's all that matters, right?

We just went for icecream and hung out at the Rock Garden. Then we had to pick up Michael from school, because he actually has to be there... fwah fwah fwah! Then, the few of us that remained after we dropped Matt off and the Plaughers left, when downtown and walked through the bazillion antique shops that are down there. There was some pretty neat stuff in those shops... old German bibles.. old, shiny jewelry... lots of pretty stuff.

The only sad part about today was that we didn't get to force Brittany into a highlighter pink dress because there was this painter and his ladder all up in the way of the entrance to the dress shop, so we couldn't get. Stupid painter and his fat ladder!.. not that I'm bitter about it or anything.

Seriously, though.. if that highlighter green dress ever gets down to about $20, which it probably never will, but I can still hope can't I, I will so totally buy it, just because it's so freaking awesome. I love big, poofy dresses like that. They remind me of when my friend, Alicia, and I used to make dresses and play dress-up... I miss those days! I hate growing up! If I could, I would wear big, poofy, pretty dresses every day of the week, except that I would overheat in them, but hey, maybe I could sweat some of my weight off and not be fat... that would be great!

I can't believe it!

I can't believe that Brittany went and tad and pamponed Katy's car without me! That just makes me want to do something evil to her car... though I won't because I can't. Then, Katy and Brittany go off and "gnome" Jessica's house. So, she wants retribution, and I think I might have to help her come up with something to get them back, which I will enjoy oh so much. "It's gonna be big.. it's gonna be SO big!"

Jess.. they probably got the idea for the gnoming from Halo. So.. have you figured out what you're going to do to achieve your revenge? If you give me a few days, I'm sure I could come up with some suggestions. ;) I really wanted to plastic wrap Katy's car, but I don't think that's going to work, because, supposedly if it's on there in the heat, it will peel off her paint, and I don't want to cause any damage to her car. So, not being able to do that, led me to the tads and pampons idea. Just let your imagination run wild with it, and discard all the ideas that might be too mean, or cause physical damage to her car, because that would be unfriendly. :)

While we still have time

Today, I got to spend a few hours with some of my friends, most of which I haven't seen in months, it seems like. Having been given this opportunity, I realized a few things about college life. One, I don't want anyone to leave, and two, we need to hang out as much as possible before everyone is gone and we can't do it anymore. True, when it does come time for those who are leaving to head off, us hanging out more often will make it harder to let them go, but at least we'll have some fond memories to look back on until we can get together again. I would rather remember spending a night with my friends playing Twister than remember them fighting during our senior year. If we don't make any summer memories, we will all be forced to remember just the ones from school. And, let's face it, they weren't all that pretty!

I'm fond of "good memories" and I would like to have some of all of my friends in one place. I realize that it's a little too close to fall to have that wish come true, because some of them have already left to move in, or whatever, but I can still get together with the ones who are still here; I have got to remember to bring a camera with me whenever I know I'll be with my friends... note to self, even though I will forget. Anyways. We need to make our "good memories" before it's too late.

I'm so happy!

My friend, Alicia, came over to visit me yesterday. She lives in Florida, but she and her boyfriend were up in Akron visiting his family for a reunion or something, and, since she was so close, they stopped by so she could spend time with me and my family.

I'm so happy that I got to see her. It's been over a year since I last saw her, and that's a long time, if you consider that we went four years seeing each other every day!

The only thing I wish was different was the amount of time we had together. We had less than one day to catch up on a year's worth of life. Actually, it was less than that, because she also had to catch up with my parents, whom she hadn't seen in over two years. I had to get up really early this morning, so I was gone before they woke up ( I could have woken them up with me so that I could have said good-bye, but I figured that they really needed the sleep since they had a three and a half hour drive back to Akron and then they had to catch a plane at 5).

I really wish that she and I could spend more time together! Don't get me wrong, I love my friends up here, but they all have a past together that I don't share with them, so it's hard for me, and I just wish that I could have someone close who has shared part of my past with me.

I love this game!

Over the weekend, I was taught how to play this great game. It's not complicated and it doesn't require too much thinking, so I love it. The game is called "Screw Your Neighbor." I know the title sounds a little odd, but that's part of what makes the game fun. The game, itself, is a lot like rummi. There are a few different rules, but it's mostly the same. The overall objective is to, of course "screw your neighbor." You're supposed to do everything you can to make your "neighbor" lose the game. If you want to learn more about it, I can teach you, just give me a call or write me and e-mail and we can get together and play. The only thing I suggest is that there be more than two people... the game is a lot more fun with three to four people... I'm not sure how high you can go, but I'm sure it would be fun to figure it out! ;)

Why do they have to leave?

My friends are dropping off like flies... not in the dying sort of way, but they keep leaving me. Last week, Aunty Boo left to go home. Yesterday I found out that Heather is leaving on Monday for college, which means that I won't see her until Christmas, or something like that. Brittany and Jessica leave in September. At least Mommy isn't leaving me anymore.

All the people I've grown fond of seeing all the time are going to be gone. Sure, I'll be able to talk to them on the phone, but that's not the same as seeing them and talking to them in person. I get tired of talking on the phone, but I could talk to someone face-to-face for-probably-ever.

I get so tired of losing friends. It happened all the time when my dad was in the navy. I had to leave so many friends behind when he got transferred. The only difference this time is that I'm not the one leaving... it's them. The worst part is that I'll never know when I'm going to see them again because we'll all be busy with college, and probably won't talk all that much. I probably won't know they're going to be here until they're already here. I hate being the last one to know everything!

Oh well. I can't really change anything, so I'll stop whining now... but only for a little while. ;)

College

I will be starting college in roughly two months, and I'm not even close to being ready for it. I don't want to have to be in school again!

I have my orientation scheduled to go on in about two weeks, but, before I go to that, I have to take a couple placement tests; one test for French, and another for math. Knowing my luck, I'll probably end up in the lowest classes possible! I don't really think that about French... I'm sure that I can test out of at least French 101! :) But math... now that's a different story.

It seems like I haven't even begun preparing myself for what I should expect from college. I think that's mostly because I want to put it off until the last minute so that I can have as much fun as possible before I start to worry about it. That's probably not really a good thing, but hey, I'm good at procrastinating!

Good luck to everyone who is moving away for college. I hope you enjoy the time away from your family... I wish I could be so lucky! Actually, I would prefer living at home as opposed to a dormroom, but that doesn't mean that I won't want to strangle my family every now and again!
You guys who are going away better come and visit me when you guys are back for holidays and stuff! If you don't, I will track you down, tie you up and make you talk to me! Actually, I wouldn't do all that... not all the hard stuff, anyways. I would find someone else to do the hunting and the tying up. :)
Good luck, y'all!

Sad news

The kitten that I was talking about in my last blog had to be put to sleep. It happened about two weeks ago. He had distemper. The vet said that it was passed to him by his mom, and that there wasn't anything I could have done to cure him of it; even knowing this, I still wondered if there was something I could have done that would have made his time with me better. I don't think I was able to answer that question for myself. My mom said that I did the only thing I could do; I made his last few weeks as comfortable and full of love as I could.

It's still really hard for me, even though he was only with us for about two weeks, I grew attached to him the minute I saw him. What makes things worse is that every time I see another kitten, even though none look like him, they always remind me of my Kitty (that's what I called him since I wasn't allowed to keep him, therefore I couldn't name him because I would be even more attached than I already was). I have a feeling that it's going to be hard for a long while still. :(

Why?

On Monday, the 4th of July, my brother and his friend found a little kitten under the car. The poor baby is covered in fleas, and they're sucking the life out of it; because of the fleas, the kitten also has a cold, if you can call it that. My mom put it in an animal carrier and placed it in my room. She called me when I was at the fair, and told me the kitten was there, and that I needed to make sure it went to the bathroom when I got home. Now, if you know me, then you know that my mom made a huge mistake. She put the kitten in my room, and I've been caring for him/her for two days, and I want to keep the kitten. She said "No." She tried to feed me some bullshit about my dad not wanting any more animals, and that if I could let this one go, then we could keep on taking animals in and nursing the back to health.

Why is she doing this to me. She, of all people should know how I am; she should have known how I was going to react to the kitten! Knowing this, she is still subjecting me to this torture! Aren't parents supposed to protect you? If so, then why is my mom doing this? Sure, she's not causing any physical damage, but, there is damage there, just the same.

If that isn't bad enough, she has to insult me when I say that I want to keep the kitten. My parents have their D&D crew over, and, almost right in front of me (they're in the dining room, and I was in the kitchen) she proceeds to tell everyone that the kitten is going to the humaine society after he/she gets all better. When I protested, which I'm sure she knew I would, and said that I wanted to keep the kitten, she told me to stop acting like Beth. If you know me, you know who Beth is, so I don't need to explain. That really pissed me off. To top that off, when I stormed out of the kitchen and slammed some of the doors behind me (since there are a billion and a half doors in this house), my dad says "Now she really is acting like Beth." So, I had both my parents insulting me.

If they really want me to act like Beth... I could act like Beth. I would hate myself for doing it, because that is definately not who I am, but, I could do it. They should be careful what they ask for!

You know that you've been playing D&D too much when...

It just occurred to me that I might be spending too much time playing, or thinking about playing, Dungeons and Dragons. This thought occurs when I think about something completely normal, like me throwing something at my brother for being dumb... the unnormal thing is when I want to tell him to roll a d6 to see if I actually hit him. It's really hilarious if you think about it.

My friends and I get together at least once a week for a few hours, and we roleplay. It seems harmless from the outside, but, on the inside, we're all being corrupted. I'm not the only one who wants to roll a certain dice when they are attempting to do something... a few of my friends have told me they do the same thing.

Something happened today that I thought was really funny. Tabby and I went swimming, and we were talking about what had happened in the roleplay when she left, and I was telling her about something the vampire did, so I guess that I had vamps on the brain. Anyways... we started talking about how there was only one lifeguard on duty, which was weird because there are usually two or three when I have been there, and I was commenting on them watching people. I was trying to say that I don't like it when the lifeguards watch me, but, instead, I said I didn't like vampires watching me. I felt so dumb... I knew what I wanted to say, it was in my head, but I said vampires.... I can't believe it. We both cracked up laughing, though, which was fun... at least she thought it was funny, too.

I don't know if it's a good thing, but my D&D friends tend to get on the same brainwaves, which, if you know my friends, is probably not a good thing. That's what really makes me wonder if we're spending too much time together. ;)

Great Weather!

So much for going swimming today! If the sun doesn't come back out, then what's the point of being in the pool?

I was looking forward to hanging out at some friends' house this evening and maybe swimming for a little while, but it started to pour down rain around 10:30-11ish. I hope that we're still on to hang out and all, I just don't think we'll be in the pool.

It seems like everything wants to go wrong all the time. Every time you think you're going to do something, and you start to look forward to it, something, like rain, comes along and ruins your plans. I'm not going to let it stop me from enjoying my day, though. Whether or not my friends and I hang out, I will find something fun to do! :) I just have no idea what that will be if they cancel.

I finally did it!

Well, yesterday I finally did what I have been saying I wanted to do for a long time; I cut off my hair. It went from being more than halfway down my back to being chin-length. Big change, huh? It felt funny, so I had to mess with it all yesterday after I got it done; it's just natural to rape your head when it feels funny! :)

The shortness of it didn't really hit me until I got in the shower this morning. I knew it was way shorter than it was the day before, so I backed off on the amount of shampoo that I put in my hand, but it wasn't until I actually started shampooing my hair that I really noticed how short it actually was! I do like it, it's cute, but I think I'm going to let it grow out a bit and maybe keep it shoulder-length for a while. :)

Which Disney Princess are you?

I'm Ariel
You're the fiery haired and headstrong daughter of King Triton. Ariel first came to surface in The Little Mermaid (1989)

Which Star Wars Jedi/Sith are you?

I'm Qui-Gon Jin

You are the original mentor and the original one who screwed over the galaxy by finding Anakin. Don’t worry, no one’s really holding it against you. You are very monk-like in your demeanor, calm and sure of yourself, but not arrogant. Looking at Obi-wan, you must have been a great master, and you were the one who discovered the secret to immortality. You have to be proud of yourself, but you are probably to humble to do so.

My gradutation party

Well, there was no trampoline at my graduation party, but I think everyone had fun without it; at least, I hope that they did and that they didn't just lie to me! :)
At my party, I got to devirginize 4 1/2 people! It was great; it felt so good! But seriously, we only watched Rocky Horror Picture Show; if you have never seen that movie, then you are classified as a virgin, and, therefore, must be devirginized A.S.A.P.!

Besides the devirginization, there was also food, and music and we watched The Phantom of the Opera; well, we tried, but everyone wanted to talk through it, so I don't think anyone saw the whole movie.

Jessica stayed over, and she slept in my bed. This morning, when she got up, she said something about sleeping at my house being nice and how my bed was much more comfortable than hers. I slept on the floor on top of a sleeping bag; I would have slept on my fouton mattress, but my brothers stole it and put it in their room, and plus, they had more friends over than I did, so they kind-of needed it a little more. (See, I can be nice to my brothers sometimes; usually it's just Nick, because Ben is a wench, but that's besides the point!)

Brittany was holding fire at my party, and, surprisingly, nobody got caught on fire! *gasps* Jess made me wear her DRAMA QUEEN tiara, and it kept falling off of my head. At one point in the evening, I put the front of Matt's hair in pigtails and he had the tiara on around them; oh, the times when you wish you had a camera handy! I think maybe Jess got a picture of it, though, so I might need to get a copy from her.

I swear that Matt is a woman though! I went to all the trouble of trying to curl his hair, and it couldn't be done because his hair is too short. So, since I couldn't do that, I offered to put his hair in pigtails for him. When I was done, he had that audacity to complain about them and say that they were crooked! :) I really didn't care, but it was so funny because he was acting like the woman that I sometimes wonder if he is!

OH, it hurts!

This morning when I woke up, I could barely move, my muscles hurt so badly. I guess that's what I get for running away from little kids for about an hour, and then proceeding to laugh my ass off for about three hours (maybe not that long, but it sure felt like that this morning)!

At Brittany's party yesterday, Katy decided to show us how to play Monster Ball; the person who is it gets about sixty seconds to hide the ball, and then the rest of the people have to try and find it and get everyone back on base with the ball. If the person who is it hits you with the ball that they get to throw, then you're out, and you have to go to "jail" and wait for someone to tag you back in. Well, the last game we played, there wasn't just one person that was "it," but three, and they were all little. One was too little to run, but the other two you really had to run from. It didn't help that the one kid is good at many sports, and he is younger, so he can run a lot longer than any of us.

Needless to say, after about thirty or forty minutes of us running from the little kids, we just gave up; we couldn't run anymore, we were too exhausted. I don't think that it was a good idea to have them all be it, especially since we had already played about three rounds before that, so we were tired to begin with.

That's definately not a do-over; not for me, anyways. But, it was fun, even though we technically got beaten by some kids.

Brittany's graduation party

Yesterday, I went to Brittany's graduation party. I got there at exactly 4, according to my mom's clock. We had a great time; she got out her go-cart and 4-wheeler, and everyone rode on those;except we couldn't have both out at the same time, because if someone died, Brittany would die, and we didn't want that.

At about 9:30, she started a fire and we all hung around it and told jokes and funny stories. Then, we roasted marshmellows, and Matt roasted a hotdog. Eventually, the party dwindled down to just Brittany, me, Katy, Heather, and Brittany's parents (her brother had passed out hours before that). After her parents went inside, the four of us that were left started bouncing on the trampoline, taking turns. It was so much fun!

Eventually, we all got too tired to jump, especially because we were laughing our asses off, so we just sat on the tramp and talked for about an hour.

When everyone finally left, it was about 3:15 a.m. We were all exhausted, mostly from trying to bounce while laughing as hard as we had been.
I think that I was stung by a bee; I was sitting there on the tramp and we were talking when I heard a buzzing noise and something flew into my ear. I brushed it away, whatever it was, and then i felt something on my back that was similar to a sting. I was probably just imagining it.

That was probably the best graduation party that I have ever been to. We just sat around and did what we always do, except, everyone was crazy; Katy was talking with a southern accent, and Brittany actually hugged a guy; it was weird, but so much fun!

I can't believe it!

I just remembered that my cousin, Kenny, was due to be married this past Monday; married to a girl that only he can stand! I hope that he didn't go through with it, but, I know that didn't happen.

I can't believe that nobody told me! I found out by accident on Sunday, the day before his wedding. His mom was talking about it while she was telling someone what she had planned for the rest of her stay in the U.S. I just couldn't believe that was the first time I had heard about it. When I looked at my mom with a confused expression, she said, "Oh yeah, Kenny is getting married; I forgot to tell you." Yeah, I'd say she forgot!

The best day ever!

Okay, today was so much fun! It may not have been the best day that I have ever had, but it is definately the best that I've had in a while.

The day started out with Jessica, Matt, Katy, Brittany, Megan, Josh, and me playing tennis at the middle school while all of the middle schoolers were in school (ha ha).

Then, me, Katy, Jess, Matt, and Britt all went to a restaurant and had some BBQ wings, and Matt had a tenderloin. It was fun. Matt and Britt played a game of pool. We had to rush Britt back to her house so that she could get ready for work, and me, Jess, and Matt went and hung out at Katy's house for a while.

Around 5, Jess decided that she should go home because she had some stuff that she needed to do before 4-H, so she left. Before she went home, she took Matt to his house, he picked up some movies, and he brought them to Katy's house, and the three of us watched some movies. We spent the last 30 or so minutes helping Matt roll up a D&D character so that he can join our little group the next time we play.

Brittany stopped over around 8-ish with Tabby because she was taking Tabby home after work, and she needed to stop at Katy's to get her bike before she went home.
Today was so much fun! I hope that we can do it again sometime soon!

Wedding in Kentucky

I just got back from my uncle's wedding in Kentucky. The wedding was held at his future wife's parent's house, which looks over a lake/river/I don't know what it is. The scenery was gorgeous! I really wish that I would have had a camera with me; I would have used a whole one on just the scenery itself. I don't know how to describe it; anything I could/would say wouldn't do it justice.

All I can really say is that they had a stairway, that was stones that looked like they had been carved out of the cliff, that led down to the water, where they had a dock and a little boat of some sort. It was beautiful there! There were bunches of trees and flowers, and apparently they have cyotes and foxes and rattlesnakes, but thankfully I didn't see any of those!

The worst part about it was that Kentucky is all hills, so their house was at the bottom of this huge hill. The part of their property that the wedding ceremony took place on was at the top of the hill, so we had to climb 700 stone stairs in high heels to get to it, and then we had to go back down to get to the house for the food. That was aweful!

Other than the going up hills in high heels, the wedding couldn't have been better. Everything was absolutely beautiful! Mom said that Eric, my uncle, kept up with the Gardner family tradition and cried at the wedding; I guess Grandpa and Dad both cried.
