Wednesday: Went to the high school and got my form signed. Went to college, turned in form, and did a workout. Came home and was lazy all day long pretty much. Or at least, I think 'cause I can't completely remember.
Thursday: Barely made it to photo in the moring and turned in... most of my assignment. Didn't work out 'cause I was being lazy. Came home, and ate way more food than I should have that was bad for me. Went to history. It wasn't cancelled. I heard him say that was the first time he'd missed a night class in 22 years! MAde a friend in class... kinda. Took the quiz and I don't think I did very well on this one, but he does drop our lowest quiz score, so I should be okay as long as I do well on the last one. :) I still need to start my mid-term and then turn it in. I have to do it this weekend and turn it in on Tuesday or I'm going to get angry with myself. I came home and made a new layout for shininstar.net, but didn't code it.
Today: I was going to go and workout, but when I woke up I just stayed in bed like the ideot I am. So, by the time I was ready to get up, it was too late to go. *hits self* Why do I do these things? I even got 8 full hours of sleep and I didn't sleep after my alarm went off... I just laid there, being stupid. Arg. So, I finally got up and ate some cereal and then I coded the layout for shininstar.net and put it up. :) It's Aaron Carter. :D YAY! lol That means I've only got two things left over on my to-do list which is nice. :) I've got some other things to start working on after I finish those two though. *sigh* I do believe that it is never-ending. All right, now I'm gonna go have lunch and then sit around or something until it's time to go to work.

I went to school this morning and met up with Ran for our workout. I was quite pleased to see that our yoga sessions had been added to the computer and showed up. :) I was a little worried that I'd have to have a hissy fit 'cause they hadn't. lmao All is well though. :) Tomorrow will be my 20th workout of the quarter which leaves me with 10 more in order to pass. :D Should be done in another two weeks or so. YEEHAW! I was going to go and print after that, but when I got to the photo lab, it was quite packed so I just decided I wouldn't go to photo and came home. :) I had a lovely chat with Mette too and I made a Brian wallpaper for her and Sam. That reminds me, I need to e-mail the addy to Sam 'cause she wasn't on at all earlier. I wonder why. :(
I just chatted and made the wallpaper today and then it was time to head back out to school. So, I got there and I thought I saw a few people from my class walking away from the room, but class was already supposed to have started as I was a little late. Then, I got there and there was this guy to tell me that class had been cancelled since my teach. is sick. Then I was going to be very bad off because he didn't have the info for the quiz on Thursday since I didn't get it last week 'cause I skipped. Then this very nice guy came and said that he had it and we could go make me a photocopy of the stuff. :) that was very good. lol After that, I went to my car and called Ani. I figured since I was already all the way out there, I should call her and see if she wanted to meet up with me and go do some junk. :) lol She said yeah and so did her daddy so I met her at the book store.
We were going to go see a movie, but they would all run past her curfew so we decided to go shopping instead! lol We went to Payless Shoes first and I got two pairs of matching shoes!!! lmao They are just so cool, I cannot describe them, I'll have to post pictures tomorrow or something. One pair is black and the other is bright pink. lmao I think they're slick. ;) Then we went to Target and I found some new knee-high socks! I don't know if I mentioned it before, but I've decided that knee-highs are the only truly good socks and that I should get as many as I can now. lmao So, I got two pairs which also cannot be done justice with words so I'll have to take pics of them too. lol Aki will be so mad jealous of them though. ;) Hahaha.
There wasn't much else to do after that and neither of us wanted to go home yet, so I talked Ani into going to the arcade. I hadn't been for so long, I just like, needed it. lol It was much fun even though I kinda sucked at my standard games. lol I did pretty good a few times though, especially when I upped the speed on one the first time. I managed to pull it off until the last song when I missed a few moves. lol Then Ani saw Brad there so she ditched me to chat with him. Grr. lol J/P Then we left and came home. lol Now I'm watching Harry Potter. :) Well, off I go, TTFN!

It's going to be fun trying to get up tomorrow morning. I managed it this morning though and got to school early to develop my film. Looks like it came out okay, but who really knows until you print from it? Then I went to photo class despite my desire not to. We looked at more slides today. I don't think that they realize they've got a 17-year-old running start student in that class because the brought out a set of slides from some guy because they wanted to see more nudes. No lie, I'm serious. I can't tell you how bad it was though because I chose to stare at the floor instead. There must have been on really bad one though or something because at the same moment they all made these weird noises. I do NOT want to know exactly why. After that I went and did my workout and my yoga sessions from last week haven't showed up yet. :( And then it said that I logged out three minutes too soon. Stupid thing. It's three friggin' minutes! What's the big deal about that?
I went to work and it was same old, same old. Still quite slow and rather boring. Did I mention before that they still haven't fixed my checks? Did I ever even mention the problems? Well, they're taking WAY too much out of my checks for L&I and apparently my check is the only one with the problems now. They've robbed me of something like $70 since they were supposed to have gotten it fixed. They should be giving me a re-imbursement check soon though, I hope. They did before, but it took them a while. Anyway, blah to work, but I did write a little more on my lyrics that I started on Saturday. I've been writting a little each day on them since the first verse and chorus came out on Saturday.
I got home, took a shower, and then I got myself out of debt with my mom. lol I owed her $465($300 is for car insurance), and now I don't owe her anything! lol And I've still got some money left over! Although, I don't think it will last long since I had to shell out $24 for gas today. That's insane! And that's one of the more cheeper gas stations at that! Where's my flying car I was supposed to have by now? lol
I also updated a bunch of things today. I updated on REALLY big thing and I'm wondering how long it will take for someone to notice. Sure, I could post up the link here and say it and all, but where's the fun in that? lol I'd rather see if someone could just figure it out. I'll give some hints though. You can tell by looking at this site or at my jump site. :) Now, it's FREEZING cold and I need to go to bed...where it's warm. lol TTFN!

*giggles* I have a fanlisting! lmao Sam decided to make one for me. :D It's right here and hosted by another pal of mine, Aceetha. I feel so special and then to top it off Sam wrote all this overly nice crap about me on the about page there. *blushes* And Sam, I'll say it again, I'm not a genius! lol
In other news I had this REALLY crack addict dream last night and I'm trying to forget it, it was that terrible. Problem is that I can't seem to. *sigh* I managed to get up on time for church though. Balffers came into my room and helped to wake me up. ;) I did the video projection for the first service and then did it again for the second. The second service is also when we have Sunday School and so after all the songs are done, I usually go and join the Sr. High group. But when I went to our room, the Jr. High was in there. And there were no Sr. Highers anywhere. I finally found out that they went to Starbucks since our normal leader was gone. So, I drive over there and... they're not there. I got myself a hot chocolate since I was already there and drove back over to the church and there they were. I guess they'd just left before I got there or something. So, I wandered through the hall a bit 'cause I don't exactly fit in with just having a chat with any of them and then I decided I should just sit somewhere and write or something. The only place to sit was outside on the rather cold cement, so I did. But, I wrote a little more to my song that I started yesterday so that was good. I find that writing works best for me when I feel alienated or I just don't fit in where ever I'm at. That brings me to something now. Should I go to Grad Night? Maybe I need to put up another poll! lmao My mom told me a little of what's going to be there as I asked her to find out and see if I would enjoy it. However, I cannot post it here 'cause I don't want Ani to see or anything. lol
I was very good when I got home today. I went and did my photo assignment right away instead of putting it off until it got dark and not being able to do it today! lol I'm so proud of myself. ;) I hope I did it right. It's the dreaded "Zone System" so we'll just have to wait and see until after I've printed on like Tuesday or something. Egh... I still need to do my history take-home test too. I'll try for it today, but I'll probably put it off until tomorrow or Tuesday, maybe even Wednesday. But I almost feel like I could do it now so maybe I will get it done today. I've got some other things that I view to be more fun and possibly more important to me that I want to get done first though. So yes, off I go to do those things! lol
Saturday, February 22, 2003
I really wanted to post yesterday, but it just kinda never happened. lol I managed to get myself up and out to school for a workout yesterday. :) When I got there though, the place was PACKED! WAY more so than usual. It was crazy. God smiled upon me though and a tredmill opened up after I'd only been there about 5 minutes so I walked for 20 minutes and then most of the people had left, so I walked for another 10 since I didn't have to worry about anyone else wanting mine seeing as there were a bunch open. See, there's a 20 minute limit on them if it's busy. So yeah, that went nicely and I had pretty music to keep me company. I came back home and relaxed for a bit and then it was off to work. It was just me and Stefanie like it always is on Friday nights. We had a small... umm, not rush, but amount of people that all came in at once and that was about it. She asked me if I wanted to go and see How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days with her so I said sure. lol After we closed up, I had just enough time to run home and change and then run back to meet Stefanie. We carpooled to the theatre and it went very well. :) I thank God for that. I wasn't sure how it was going to be, but it turned out better than I'd thought and I think it was a lesson in not judging people. Ya know? The movie was SOOO funny! lmao Everyone should go see it. Okay, so maybe guys shouldn't go see it and neither should little kids, but the rest of us older chicks should definately check it out. ;) I didn't get home until mid-night and then I stayed up until about 2 finishing The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
Oh yeah, and we apparently had a thunderstorm yesterday, but the only reason I know this is that people told me. I guess it was raging here at home and there was some lightning seen at work, but did I see any lightning, did I hear any thunder, did I even know until someone came in and said it'd been going on for a while? NO! Grr. Figures you know. I mean, I LOVE thunderstorms and we almost never get them and then I miss one alltogether. *sigh* It's just not fair dangit. :(
So, I was going to get up this morning and go for a workout, but I slept two hours longer than I'd been planning for and when I was actually going to get up I thought about it, decided I didn't really need to go today and went back to bed. lol I got up around 1:30 pm, did laundry, watched TV and ate before it was time for more work. Oh joy. lol It was all right. The highlight was that shortly after I arrived I was thinking about something and it triggered lyrics in my head. I actually wrote something!!! YAY! I haven't written in so long and it's just been sad and then it just popped out all of a sudden and then a little more trickled out later. It's not at all finished yet and I've already revised a bunch of it as well. No one gets to see it. Sorry, just not ready for anyone but me yet. ;)
I got home and took a shower. Then I got on the net and did... stuff. Not much. Not what I should be doing anyway. I've gotta update all my fanlistings and add new members. I'm sure my inbox is starting to overflow of them by now. lol By overflow though, I mean like 20 alltogether. lol It's a lot to go through all at once though, that's for sure. Anyway, I'm up later than I should be and I HAVE to get up early tomorrow morning. No excuses or changing of my mind, it must be done. I've gotta go to church and work the computer for putting lyrics up on the screen. I do it once a month and I've yet to miss it and I don't plan on doing so. That would be bad. Also, I've got a short day at work tomorrow. I'm only working the later show. Bummer. Oh well, nighty night folks.

Yay! Happy birthday Brian!!!! *sigh* How they do grow up so fast... lol Yeah, I know, I'm a dork, but it's fun so leave me be aiight?
Today I tried to get up early and then fell back asleep and was about 10 minutes late to meet Ran, but we made it to yoga okay so no biggie. No more yoga for Holly. My body is just not meant to be in those positions. Welll, save for the relaxation positions. I like those. ;) lol But yeah, time to go back to the regular workouts. I like those better anyway and I think they work better for me.
After yoga, I decided to go by the high school programs office again and see if I could ask someone else about taking archery again and low and behold, there was someone there who knew what they were talking about! lol Sad news though. :( I must pay about $62 for it. BUT, mommy and daddy said they'd pay for half so I'm definately doing it! lol I'm so excited. I left school after that although I had photo today. I just didn't want to go. I'm so sick of that class and it's almost worse to go to than history. Shocking, but true. So, I came home and sat down and Angel came and snuggled and then I started dozing off and I ended up napping until my mom came home around 3:30-4 pm. I had a really odd dream and every time the phone rang and woke me up and then I went back to sleep, it just picked back up where it left off. Quite an odd dream. lol
When mom got home, I woke up and she said it was pouring rain so I was like, eh, I don't want to go to history anyway so I stayed home. lol My take-home test was "due" today, but since he told us it doesn't really matter when we turn it in and I haven't even started it, I'm going to turn it in next week. I just can't make myself do it right now for some reason and I don't know why. Usually I can muster something up, but every time I try with this is doesn't seem to work. I made hamburger noodle bake and mom, dad and I watched You've Got Mail. :) Then I came back here for computer junk. Oh, and I started something today that will make some people happy, but at the same time I think they will be slightly bummed. It will be good overall though. lol Now you all are probably wondering what I'm jabbering about, but you're just going to have to wait for it as I think I'll make it a surprise. ;) Well, time to check my e-mail and I think I'll read some more C.S. Lewis tonight. I've gotta get up early tomorrow to go workout because I need around 15 more visits to pass and it's starting to get down to the wire on that. Not good. Anyway, ta ta for now!
Wednesday, February 19, 2003
Take a wild guess on what I did not end up working on yesterday. Yeah, you guessed it, no history for me. And I didn't do it today either. BUT, it's not entirely terrible because he told us in class yesterday that we could turn it in however many days late and no points would be taken off of our grade for it! lol I really like the way this guy teaches. lol I'm going to try and get it done tomorrow, but if not, then I'll turn it in next Tuesday. I definately don't want to put it off for too long because then I'll never end up doing it and that would not be good.
Today I woke up bright and early and went to work with my mom. My dad was taking the van to go skiing and my mom works out near Ani's house so she said she'd drop me off there. I played games on the spare computer while I waited for 9:15 AM to roll around and then we left and surprise, surprise, I was the first one there! lol I felt so special. ;) lol I just handed Andrea her present, unwrapped, because I was too lazy to wrap it. lol I didn't give her a card either, just a b-day hug. lol
Aki arrived not long after and we watched some of the stuff from the extended FotR DVDs. It was quite amusing and I decided that I really need to get that edition. lol The other two arrived a bit later and then we all set off for Seattle and the EMP(Experiance Music Project). That place is so freakin' cool! lmao We got in there and I wasn't totally sure how it was going to be, but it rocked! lol First we went into the Disco exhibit and had a whole lot of laughs. lol And our audio tour things played "YMCA" and we all grooved. It was wonderful. :) Then we decided we'd best be moving on so we went upstairs to the best part of the whole place!
The upstairs has sound stages where you can play drums, guitar, bass, mix, jam, dance, and sing! Autumn and I got into the vocals room and spent most of our allotted 15 minutes trying to figure out how to get to the point where we actually got to sing with the touch screen. lol We finally did and it was so great! There were 6 different choices for what it would do with your voice. 1) Normal. 2) A sort of beautified normal. 3) Space-y background music. 4) Echo. 5) Chipmunks. And the one that was most amusing... 6) The Man voice. lol It kicked butt! And you know what I discovered, I sounded quite nice on that. Like, when I record myself on my computer, I sound like crap, but there, it was all happy and pretty and it made me feel good. :)
After that I decided I wanted a try on the drums so I had Andrea wait with me and go in with me. It turned out there was a bass and an electric guitar in there too so Ani played with those a bit. lol I had an interesting time with the drums. lol I could kind of do it right, but I didn't get very far on their lesson thing until my time was up. :( It was much fun though and I want to go back again and play some more! lol After that, it was back into vocals. This time, Ani and Erin joined us and it was really funny! lol I can't even begin to explain all that happened with our 15 minutes in there. I can only say that there was a lot of singing "I'm A Little Tea Pot." lmao
Finally, it was time for the big event. We went to wait in line for the On Stage performance. While you're waiting they have you think up a band name and we quickly decided on Shock Tart Melody because it's something Autumn thought up a while back for one of her mixed CDs and we all just thought it was cool. lol We finally got in and I was quitar, Autumn was keys and vocals, Ani was lead vocals, Megan was tambourine and vocals, and Erin was drums. We only had three songs to choose from and we picked "Wild Thing." lol Wow, was it ever fun and somewhat sad at the same time! lol They take your picture in the middle of it and they tell you so you can pose and of course, I looked terrible. And then what did Ani do? She bought one and Erin bought one too. *sigh* Now Ani's is hanging on her wall with all of our autographs on it. lmao At least I'm proud of myself 'cause the autograph thing was my idea. ;) They also gave us fake concert tickets and you know how much it costs to see us? $60! lol That was funny and they were lavender colored. lmao What the heck was up with that? lol
We had lunch after that and then went back to Ani's to watch Sweet Home Alabama. After that was over, we started watch the extended edition of FotR and ate dinner and yummy ice cream cake that, of course, was LotR as well. lol It had a hobbit hole, Frodo, Sam, and Gandalf on it! lol Ani licked the hobbits' feet and it was quite... uhh... wrong really. lol
Mom came to get me about a half an hour after that and we stopped by the store and got me hot chocolate and fruit snacks as well as some dessert for her and Dad. lol Then my stupid stomach had to start hurting REALLY badly while we were there and I had to lay in the fetal position for about a half an hour when we got home and take two pepto-bismal chewables(nasty, but it's all we've got right now) before it felt better. Then I was looking at the TV quide and they had a show showing the best of the worst from American Idol on so I thought, what the heck, we'll give it a shot. Boy am I glad I decided to watch that! lol It was so funny! I can't believe some of those people who were horrible and thought they were absolutely wonderful! lol If I ever auditioned for that show(which I'm kinda thinking about doing for the third one) it would really only be a joke for the heck of it and being able to just say that I tried out. lol I would expect them to tell me that I suck. I mean, I think my voice is nice, it's decent, but it's nothing to go ga-ga over and that's what they're looking for so I'm pretty sure they'd tell me to beat it, but at least it would make for a rather interesting blog entry on that day, don't you think? lmao
Wow, this is a VERY long entry. I can only think of one or two people who might actually read the whole thing and to you that has, mad props man! lol Anyway, I'm gonna jet and read or something. lol And, as usual, I should go to bed, but I'm not going to. lol Bad bad habits of mine. *shakes head at self*
Tuesday, February 18, 2003
Work was, once again, very dead yesterday. Of course, I slept until just before I needed to leave so I was already a little out of it when I got there and then... boredom. You remember how the other night we only sold three foot-long sandwiches? Well, last night, we sold three foot-longs and one six inch! lmao What a large difference, you think? Oy, everything is going so slow there. I would ask for more hours, but I know they're not going to be able to give them to me so why bother, you know? Then I decided to stay up until a quarter after two in the morning finishing The Magician's Nephew and mom got up to go to the bathroom and told me off for it. lol So, I finished the last two pages after that and went to bed. Or well, I tried to go to bed. I think I only got a total of two or three hours of sleep because I just could not fall asleep for the longest time and I kept waking up a bunch too. But, when my alarm went off after 7:30 am, I felt oddly refreshed. I guess that's what happens with a lot of people, but it still just doesn't seem quite right to me.
Anyway, I got up on time and managed to be able to have breakfast! Wee! lol Then I left for school. They had two parking lots closed off for some drama festival or something and it aggitated me to see that. I mean, it's already tough enough to get parking around that time in the morning and they go and close off two lots of student parking! Sheesh! Good thing I got there early... managed to be able to park out in the back lots. I guess it was some good exercise for me though, right? Anyway, I was EARLY to meet Ran! lmao Boy, was she surprised. ;) We did yoga today. It hurts. lmao I've done it once before and that was a year ago and I don't think I was doing it quite right. lol I think I did better this time though and I think Ran and I are going to do that again on Thursday. It's nice and quiet and, well, it's not exactly relaxing while you're doing positions, but afterwards, you feel good! Hahaha!
After that, I went to try and talk to someone to find out if I can take archery for a third time and just not get credit for it(you can only take it twice for credit) and so I got an appointment with a counselor and waited, and waited, and waited. Finally, I had to be getting to photo class so I just told them to cancel my appointment since it was already 20 minutes past my time and I had to get to class. I wish I hadn't gone to photo. We watched another slide presentation of work from different photographers and I'm getting really sick of all this shit. They all photograph nudes! EVERY SINGLE FRICKIN' ONE OF THEM I'VE SEEN SO FAR! It's not art, it's porn damnit. I can understand some things that are art like that, but these photographs are just... SICK. Apparently that's what you've got to photograph if you want to actually be a photographer. Good thing I already decided that's not the profession for me. I want out of photo now. I really dislike that class right now and I'm sick of it and the people in it. It bites completely.
I came home and decided I would eat and then get to working on my history take-home test since it's due on Thursday, but did I do that? Nope. I did eat, and then I called Andrew because I miss the movies I lent him, then I got my history book and was going to do it, but fiddled around on the internet instead. I think all hopes of working on it before class tonight were dashed when I suddenly got "Larger Than Life" stuck in my head and decided that I should blare Millennium since I haven't listened to it for a while. That was all well and good and of course I enjoyed it, but there's still nothing for my take-home test which is, drum roll please, 30% of my grade! *smacks self* I would just do it tomorrow except that I'm going to Ani's b-day party so chances are I'm not going to want to do it when I get home and I don't want to leave it until Thursday. Or at least, not all of it. lol I'm so bad. I'm going to start it in class tonight though, so I say.
Well, the carrots and dip in the fridge are calling to me and it's getting close to time to leave anyway, so *sings* solong, farewell, the German word I cannot spell, Adiou(sp? lol)! Wow, remind me to never try and type out songs from The Sound Of Music ever again, okay? Okay. lol TTFN!
Sunday, February 16, 2003
Well, this morning didn't start out too grand considering that I apparently could not get up for church. I remember my mom coming in the first time and I felt wide awake and not in the least bit tired, but apparently I fell back asleep and I don't remember her coming to wake me a second time, but then she came in and told me they were leaving. :( I wanted to go and then, you know, I felt bad. So, I just stayed in bed and was dozing a bit when the phone rang, so I answered it. Guess who it was! Okay, so none of you ever would, but... lol It was my cousin Steven!!! :D He called to say thank you for the baby gifts we sent him and his girlfriend. :) We talked for a while and brought back good memories and it was very nice. :) I guess they're planning on going on the next summer beach trip so I'm going to have to make sure I get down then to see them since I haven't seen Steven in at least five years. I miss him. I do not approve of some of the things he's done, but I love him no less and I honestly think he'll be a very good dad. :) They had a little girl on the 7th. :) So yeah, that's all. lol I just wanted to post 'cause I was so happy Steven called and I got to talk to him for a bit. :) TTFN!
All right, so let's backtrack to V-day. I slept until I had to get up for work. I got up and mommy had gotten me a little heart-shaped box of chocolates. :) There were some weird fruity fillings in some of them though... yuck. lol At least the other ones were just double chocolate so they were quite tasty. ;) Then, it was off to work. Alonna decided to buy everyone gifts so I got an M&Ms thing with the red dude on top and you pushed a button and the wings flapped. lol I tossed it after I was done with the candy though, no need to keep it. Work was pretty much the same as it's been lately. Then, I got home and decided to see if Andrea and Autumn wanted to come over and stay the night. Sure enough, they both did and their parents said it was cool. :) So, while I waited for the two of them to arrive, I made the Valentine card for everyone. :) lol I know it was a little late, but it was the first chance I had since I slept so long and then had work. ;)
Anyway, they got here and we put in Monsters Inc. since Ani brought it over. :) We got a bit into it until I paused for food and such and then Autumn and Andrea started this big conversation and I joined in so we turned off the movie for a while. We eventually turned it back on and finished it and then watched the out takes and shorts. They were all way cute. :) Then we talked a whole lot more. lol And finally, at something like 3 am, I suggested we play LIFE! lol So, I whipped out our old version of it and it was so much fun! lol Good times!
They got up early in the morning and left and I crawled back to my room and went back to sleep. lol I meant to get up around 11am or so, but did I? No, I got up and out of bed around 3pm which left a half an hour to get ready and leave for work. *sigh* Why do I do that all the time? Arg. Work was... BEYOND slow! We sold three foot-long sandwhiches in the entire four hours I was there! We had a few more people come in, but all they got were drinks or they asked for directions. lol Then of course, these two boys came in to pester us as they have on occasion before. They're quite annoying.
When I got home, I looked through the spring quarter schedule which I downloaded off the school site. I was all excited 'cause observational astronomy is being offered and then I saw that they were finally offering the King Arthur class too! And then of course, there's my meteorology class that I want to take and they're offering archery too! And there's the intro to linguistics class! And then the harsh truth... linguistics is WAY too late at night, astronomy has a crack addict schedule, and the King Arthur class is the same time as archery. :( I only know that I'm taking the global climate change class(meteorology) so far, as long as I can get in anyway. I guess I'd better ask if I can even take archery again too, because I'm not sure. *sigh* This is going to take some stewing.
That's pretty much it aside from chatting and doing some web stuff, which I need to do more of. lol In the morning it's church, and then work. I think I'm going to start working on my history take home test while I'm at the theatre since I'm not going to watch the movie. lol All right, off I go, TTFN!

I know it's a little late at night for this, but it's the first chance that I got. So, click on the link above for a lovely little valentine for everyone! Guys probably won't like it, but the girls should at least appreciate it's cuteness. :D Anyway, Ani and Aki are here to spend the night, so I've gotta go. I'll post more tomorrow. :) TTFN!

I got out of bed a bit later than I should have today, but I managed to just make it to school in time to meet Ran for our workout. We got in there and the place was packed! I mean, there was nothing we could do pretty much because everything was being used. lol It was crazy. So, we sat on mats on the floor for ten minutes doing/pretending to do stretches. lol We did them for the first few minutes and then we kinda just pretended like we were still going for the last bit because there wasn't really anything else to do. We managed to get a few weight machines and did that. Then, there were two bikes open, but mine didn't work so I had to find something else and low and behold, a tredmill opened up so I hopped on that for 20 minutes and then, thankfully, it was time to go.
As I was sitting in photography today, I decided that I'm not going to take any more classes in it. It just all of a sudden dawned on me that I disliked it very much as a class. As for hating photography completely, it is not so. I still like it and all, I'm just not planning to take any more classes in it. It's quite boring and pointless to me. For instance, today we watched a slide show on some photographer and while everyone else there seemed to think he was quite good and rather brilliant, I thought his work was a piece of shit. I donno, what they all keep talking about as being good photography is nothing of the sort in my opinion. I'm more of a nature photographer and whatnot and most all the stuff we look at and what other people in my class print is really abstract and I just can't get into that. Too darn strange for me.
I'm feeling rather down in the dumps today. I almost called my mom on my way home to say that I was going to go to the arcade, but then I realized I wouldn't have enough time to do that and come back home and then get back out to school once more for history, so I didn't. *sigh* I dislike all of my classes right now and I can't wait for next quarter. I got my registration time in the mail yesterday so now I'll be checking the website every day to see when they put up the Spring schedule, and I hope it's soon. I know what I'd like to take, but now the question is whether or not they are offered and if they're at times I can take them. I really hope archery will be offered. I can't take it for credit again, but I might be able to take it and just not get credit and that would make me quite happy. :D Then, at least, I would have one class that I would absolutely love. :)
I guess now I'll go eat since I could definately use it, and then after that there are a few choices of what to do. Should I take my shower right away or put it off till later? Should I read? Should I continue working on the site I'm getting paid for? Should I work on a different site? Should I play old DOS games? Should I watch TV or a movie? Who knows! For now, I think I'll have some mac n' cheese and carrots and dip. :)

My mom came and woke me up just after noon today. She asked me if I still wanted to go to school for my workout. I said yeah and she told me to get up so that we could leave around 1pm. Turns out she was going to meet my daddy at the property to work on fixing it up and getting it ready so I had to drive her out there and then I could take her car out to school and she could just come home with dad. :) So, I drove all the way out to school and did my workout. I think I signed out 3 minutes shy of my 40 that I was going for so it didn't count it. :( Hopefully it'll show up later or something, donno, meanie computer.
I got home and chatted online once more. Then, I got rather peeved because the domain that I wanted that someone else had was expiring today and they just decided to renew it, TODAY. GRR! Guess I won't be getting that one then. Can't tell any of you what it's for, but I've already got a different domain name in line for it so I might go with that. It's hard though because I was already quite attached to the other one and they weren't even using it and still aren't. It's just got an under construction page and has for quite a while. *sigh* Oh well, nothing to do about it for now.
I did some other stuff, but you know, I can't remember. Darn memory of mine. lol ;) Finally though, it was time to leave for the movies! :D I was a little late meeting Ani there, but I made it and that's what counts. ;) lol We went and saw Antwone Fisher. That is a VERY good movie. It's sad too because it's been doing very poorly at our theatre. Friday night they only got SIX people for one of the showings! That's pretty darn bad. lol It's such a good movie though and I liked it. :) Ani and I both cried, but surprisingly, I only cried near the very end and Ani was tearing up before that. lol And this is me we're talking about here. I cried while I was watching a Mickey Mouse Christmas cartoon. lmao It's true, I swear, I'm just such a sap. It was so cute though 'cause it was the one where Mickey turned in his harmonica to buy Minnie a chain for her watch and Minnie turned in her watch to buy Mickey a case for his harmonica. It's just so sweet! *wants to cry thinking about it* Oh, shut up! lol
I've been a good girl for the last 45 minutes. I worked on the site I'm doing for my old work. :) I coded it up. I would have kept going and done more, but there's two coding versions that I can go with and I need my mom's opinion on which looks nicer. lol And you know, she's asleep so I don't think now was the time to ask. ;) All right, I'm gonna go and read a bit now before I've gotta hit the sack. I've decided to read The Chronicles of Narnia again because it's been so long. I'm also starting at The Magician's Nephew since that's really where the whole thing begins. Happy reading to me! :D
Tuesday, February 11, 2003
Wee! *dances around* I may not be seeing Nick in Cali, but there's still hope that he might come up here! A new tour date has been added toward the end of March in Texas(I think it was, but don't quote me, lol) and so there's a bunch of time in between that date and the previous ending date... maybe God's planning an early b-day present for me. lol ;) Anyway, there's still hope for it so I'm hangin' on. :D
I got up on time this morning and made it out to school to meet up with Ran for our workout. Went pretty well. It was funny though because I got on a nicer tredmill that was open and it was extra high-tech! lol I didn't know we had ANOTHER kind in there. lmao There's really not that many of them to start with, but there's like four different kinds. lol So, I confused myself with the extra high-tech one, but I managed to get it going and that was what really mattered. ;) Then it was photo which was really quite boring. We watched the second part of a video on some photographer who had three wives, but only ever truly loved photography. Poor, sad soul, if you ask me. lol Then I went home, chatted with some peeps, read the stuff from the history book for the quiz and headed back to school. I was very bored during the lecture and rather side-tracked by the cute guy that sat next to me. lol :) Then, it turned out that I should not have bothered with reading the stuff from my history book because I didn't even have to answer any questions on it. lol Oh, and we got the take home test... this is not going to be fun. :( Arg.
I got home and guess what... I remembered to watch/tape 8 Simple Rules! lmao I have Sam to thank for that because she reminded me when we were chatting earlier in the day and I would have totally forgotten if it wasn't for her. lol But, turns out my mom remembered it too so she would have taped it for me had Sam not already reminded me. :D Good thing I'm not left to figure out these things on my own... I'd be screwed. lmao Anyway, the episode... "Ben" was a player!!! *wags finger at "Ben"* Naughty boy! lol And I also realized why I've never watched the show before. It's because I think it's stupid! And I REALLY don't like the main chick. She's WAY beyond dumb blonde(no offense intended to blondes) and just annoys the heck outta me. I liked what I saw of the first episode better... the whole thing with the hat prize was beautiful. lol ;) But, I must say that Nick's acting was more consistent in the second so that was good and I did enjoy watching him attempt to keep putting his arm around her and her telling him not to in various different colorful ways. lol That's the only good thing I have to say about her character and now I'm done. :)
After that was over I watched the last of the American Idol episode because there was nothing else on. It was okay. Some good voices, but I think they should put me on there as a judge. lmao I've got some things I'd like to say. ;) Right as that was ending, Ani called me up and we talked for a good hour at least. She's going with me tomorrow night to see the movie in town. :) I don't have to pay and I get free popcorn and pop! Yay for benefits! lmao All righty, off I go to do... something. I was going to get up farily early tomorrow and go work out at school, but then I was reminded that daddy will be stealing the van once again to go skiing so I can't go anywhere. lol Oh well, perhaps later in the day. :) Anyhoo, nighty night!
Monday, February 10, 2003
Well, here I am, late into the night, with a headache, blogging. Same as usual, minus the headache part. ;) I wanted to post yesterday, but I got caught up with something or other and didn't. I can no longer remember what that something or other was, but it was something. lmao ;) If you didn't notice, I was a good girl yesterday and I got to cross off one of the items on my to-do list! :D I made a new layout for Nickerman. :) It's a little crazy, but I guess I like it. I mostly just heart the picture I used for it though and the clear scrollbar. ;) lmao So yeah, I spent my time after church and before work coding that and uploading it. Then, it was time for work.
I got there expecting to work with Wes, Brian K., and Steve, but Brian S. was the only one there and usually everyone else gets there way before me. lmao Wes showed up not long after as did Brian J. and Steve and then Brian S. left and Brian K. was going to be late. There are too many frickin' Brians at that place! lmao ;) The first show was really slow. Not many people showed up. Then Wes and Steve left and Brian K. was working on a paper while Brian J. and I baby-sat the lobby. I could have watched the movie, but I didn't really feel like it and anyway, I'm hoping Ani will go see it with me on Wednesday. :) But back to the story. Brian J. and I talked through pretty much the entire show. lol We talked about movies and I kept telling him that he needs to give Harry Potter a chance! lmao I think I finally convinced him to watch the second movie when it comes out on DVD and VHS. :) Then we talked about other movies and he kept asking Brian K. about things we were dissagreeing on and the kept siding against me so I said it must be a thing with the name Brian. ;) lol Then we talked about some other junk and the movie was over and we cleaned(or I should say that I cleaned, lol) and talked about more junk before people started to show up for the second show. My mommy and daddy showed up for it so I got to talk to them for a bit! :D That was cool. Then after the movie was started Brian J. and I talked a bit about the war with Iraq thing and at least we agreed on that and that we don't want it to happen. :) It was a very fun night and I'm always happy when I get to work with Brian J. because he talks to me. Whereas, the only other person there who really talks to me is Heidi, but I don't work with her very often. But yeah, good times. :)
Last night I was up WAY later than I should have been. Bad, bad me. That then created problems for this morning when I tried to get up and hour early so I could go work out before photo. My alarm went off and I decided that I'd sleep for another hour and just not work out today. Then the hour went by and I had time to get ready, but I just didn't want to go. I think Brian(J., obviously) had a bad influence on me 'cause he kept talking about not wanting to go to school today in our convo yesterday. lol So, I decided not to go and called up my mom and told her. Then I went back to sleep when I really should have just got out of bed and done something constructive. I got up and out of bed around 1:30pm or so and made myself some mac n' cheese 'cause there was really nothing else to eat save for a different kind of pasta item. I made two boxes so I could have them for the coming days. There's a LOT left. I didn't eat much for my breakfast/lunch which was good because I stopped right when I got full rather than trying to stuff what was left in my bowl down and ending up with a tummy ache later.
Before I knew it, it was time for work. Before I left I printed out some lessons on Quenya to take with me so I wouldn't get bored. For those of you that don't know, Quenya is a form of Elvish from LotR. I just found a link for a site to learn it last night and decide this morning that I would so that I can write poetry in it. lol It clinched it when I discovered that in the very first lesson I get to learn how to say "holly" in it. :D Of course, I've only read the introduction so far so I don't know how to pronounce my name in Quenya just yet. ;) I think I'll read lesson one tomorrow during history because it's not like I pay attention to that class anyway. Humm... that reminds me, I've got a quiz in history tomorrow which means I've gotta read the little documents before I go to class. *sigh* Those things are quite boring and I never fully understand them, but I seem to be answering the questions on them correctly seeing as I've gotten perfect scores on both quizes thus far. Whatever. lol
All right, my headache is becoming progressively worse and I really should make an attempt to get to bed early tonight since I've GOT to get up in time to work out before photo tomorrow. Goodnight, goodnight to all. :)
Saturday, February 8, 2003
Well, I watched the snippets of Nick from 8 Simple Rules and they were quite the giggle makers. lol A little bit of faltering in the acting, but I think the lines they gave him are partly to blame for that. I can very much relate to the whole "I won a hat" thing though. lol If you really care about knowing all that much, you can go download the file. ;) lol
So, am I going to Cali to see Nick? I'm not sure yet. I thought there was a sign that I should go, but now it doesn't look like it and I got a sign that I shouldn't go. Either way, I'm okay with it. Of course, I WANT to go, that's a definate, but I also want it to be okay with God. lol So, I asked him to show me a really blatent, obvious sign and in some ways, I got one for each possibility, but nothing for sure yet. lol Both can change so I'll just keep my eyes open and wait. Think that I'm crazy if you like, but I figure that I've only got one life to live and what is it if I don't at least consider doing things like this every once in a while? ;)
I actually got up on time and everything on Thursday!!! *dances* I'm such a darn good little girl. :D Well, sometimes I am anyway. ;) lol I was on Thursday at least. The day started out fine, went to school, printed photos, worked out, printed more photos, went to photo class, went home for a while and didn't do much of anything, went back to school for history, was bored all during history, came home and did some of nothing, and then I went online. Standard for that day. I can't remember much else. lol
Friday I slept for quite a while, but was woken up many times from the phone because everyone kept calling about the motorcycle. We put up an ad for a free one and I guess everyone really likes that price. ;) lol I finally got up and out of bed at something like 2 pm and ate and watched some TV and took a shower before leaving for work. Again, work went rather quickly which was good. I was very proud of myself as well, because I didn't eat a sandwich or a cookie while I was there! :D I'm making an effort to eat more healthy. lol That reminds me, on Thursday after photo, I ran into Nicole(from archery last quarter) and we talked a bit and agreed that we need to get together and do something soon. Then she told me that I looked thinner and asked if I'd lost weight. I said I wish and kinda dismissed it at that. However, I did decide to get on the scale after I got home and I think I may have lost a pound or two. Not getting my hopes up too much with that though because I can't remember exactly what I weighed last time and if I had shoes on or off and all that other junk that can make it fluctuate. Still, made me feel nice. lol
That's pretty much it for what's been going on. I feel like my life has turned into a very boring ritual and I'm not liking that much. I need to fix it so it's not. lol Need to find something new and different. Something that doesn't have a set schedule 'cause that's no fun in my book. lol Well, I'm either going to go and make a layout, watch a movie, or mill around now, so ta ta!
Wednesday, February 5, 2003
Since you know, I'm apparently a dumbass and I can't remember to do much of anything lately, I completely forgot to tape/watch Nick on 8 Simple Rules. Thankfully, there's boymostlikely.com. I'm currently downloading a ZIP of Nick's segements on the show. Of course I won't know what the heck is going on, but it will suffice until they re-run the episodes in 40 years. lmao Okay, so it'll probably be this summer, but I'm just angry with myself because I keep screwing up with everything lately. I don't know what's wrong with me.
At 5:30 am this morning I woke up to find Angel sitting on my pillow to my right and staring up at the wall. I immediately realized that there must be something up there, so I looked up and sure enough, there was a big black spot on the wall. I knew it either had to be a really big spider or a moth. It was a moth. One of those NASTY brown spotted ones. *has a body spasm thinking about it* YUCK! I do NOT like moths. I don't even like butterflies for goodness sakes! The brown ones are worse than the white ones though. Egh. So, I got up and walked out to the kitchen and grabbed two paper towels(so I wouldn't have to feel it when I squashed it) and went back to my room. I tried to whack it into the wall, but it flew away. Then it landed on the ceiling so I stood on my bed and tried to whack it again. The third time it landed on the ceiling, I finally got the bugger and it fell down to the floor where Angel started to play with it. I had to shoo her off of it so I could grab it up with the paper towels. I would have let her just eat it except that my kitties don't eat bugs, they just play with them. lol I lived through it though and at least it wasn't like the time I woke up early in the morning with the spider on my arm.
I woke up shortly after noon and asked mommy to make me so breakfast. :) She did so that was happy 'cause I was hungry. lol Then I got ready and dragged myself to school. Again, I got there later than I had wanted so I went and developed my film. While it was drying, I decided to go and do my workout for the day and for once there was hardly anyone in the gym. It was kinda strange. lol I got back to the photo lab with just enough time to make a contact sheet of my film before they got rid of all the chemicals and closed for the day. That was lucky. I guess it all came out okay, but the ones I was hoping would come out, but was pretty sure they wouldn't, didn't. :( Oh well, I think I can use some other ones quite nicely, but I'm not sure if they're exactly what my teacher wants. Guess I'll find out tomorrow after I get there early to print and then turn them in. ;) lol
I got home and went through a whole bunch of color negatives that I stole from my mom's trash pile when she was going through old photos. I stuck all the good ones in negative savers and I'm going to do contact sheets of them when I get the chance. I'm pretty sure that I can print black and white pictures from a color negative with no problems, but I've never really tried so I'll just have to wait and see. lol There's some really cute photos of me when I was little in there though and I want to print some of them out to have. :)
After that it was a small salad and then off to the theatre. My mom and I went and watched Two Weeks Notice tonight. Whomever it was that told me they'd heard bad things about it was wrong. lol That movie was fairly cute and very funny. :) lol I liked it and I must admit, I cried at the end. lol I'm such a sap. Someone help me! lol
Out of curiosity, I mentioned to my mom about thinking of flying down to Cali to see Nick in March. I asked her if she thought I was crazy for even considering it and first she told me that she wasn't surprised by the idea at all and expects things like that from me, and then I asked her again if she thought it was completely crazy and stupid and she said no! lol I'm not completely crazy and stupid for thinking it! lmao So, it's an open possibility right now. I should get $150 in tax returns and that's a good portion of the ticket so if I can find one maybe a little cheeper, I might actually do it. lol It would be fun, that's for sure. ;)
All right, I've got to get up at a very early time tomorrow. 6:40 am is what my alarm is set to. I know, can she do it? lmao Well, I'm sure going to put my best effort into it! lmao I'm even going to go to bed pretty soon here so that I can. ;) Off I go. Nighty night. :)
Tuesday, February 4, 2003
Wow, I'm so sad. I think it's safe to say though that it didn't take long for me to get over the whole idea of flying down to Cali for a few days just to see Nick's show. Yeah, that would be stupid and not that it'd be a waste of money, because I know I'd be there and think it was totally worth it, but I can't. I'm not even going to mention it to my mom because she'd think I was crazy and I think that if I did do it I would be crazy. lol No telling what will happen though because if I someone get a lot of money for free then I'd probably buy myself some tickets. lmao That's HIGHLY unlikely though, however. lol So yeah, everyone please pardon my stupidity in the last post and my slight over-reaction. lmao I wish he was performing up here though. :(
In other news, I slept till one pm today due to staying up late to finish The Secret of Dragonhome. I couldn't help it though because the last few chapters in that book are the best part of the whole story! lol So, since I slept so long and had to take a shower and get ready and all that junk, I realized I wasn't going to have time to develop my film and wait for it to dry so I took myself out for pizza instead and then did my workout followed by the ever boring history. I got 100 on my quiz again. I think most of the class does though so it's not a big thing I guess. I called my mom during our break in history to see if she wanted to do the movie tonight instead of tomorrow so that I could leave class early, but she said no, so I stayed. We watched a video again. I swear, we watch a video almost every single time we have class! lol I can't complain about that though. ;)
That's it for today. lol Wasn't very exciting. Tomorrow probably won't be either, but you never know and God does like to surprise me with things so it could be unbelievably good. :D I'm hoping for the really good one. ;) lol I've got to go to school at some point tomorrow. Probably early afternoon I hope. I have to develop my film and then, since I'm going to be there, I'll do my workout while I wait for the film to dry and then head back over to the lab to print. Sounds like a good plan to me. ;) Well, off I go for now. E-mail is calling to me. I'm coming e-mail! lol

SHIT! Why couldn't Nick perform anywhere in the NW? I would have driven to Oregon or Idao for him, but now it's going to cost a bundle if I can even make it. I know what I want for my birthday now. I could ask my parents to buy me the ticket for the show, it's only $31 and it would be for my 18th birthday so an extra ten dollars or so than they normally spend on me wouldn't be too much, right? But then I'd be up to me to scrap up the money for the plane ticket. The lowest price I could find on my own was $186 and I'd have to do a connect flight so it'd take something around 4+ hours for me to get there rather than the normal 2 and a bit. What am I rambling on about? Nick's playing in Anaheim, CA on March 8th. My cousins live a mile from there and I could stay with them. I know exactly where the place is at. It's in Downtown Disney near the theater and the ESPN Sports Zone thing. I just got the list of songs he's doing off of BoyMostLikely.

He's gonna do "End Of Forever!" I could cry. Damnit! Why does everyone I want to see live ditch out on the North West?! Dang, the least he could have done was hit B.C. because I could have driven there too. I'd have enough money for this flight after my tax returns come and as soon as I get my next paycheck, I won't owe my mom any more money, but it's still a LOT of money just to go see him. I mean, if I had money to burn, then I wouldn't even think about it, I'd just buy the tickets and all and go, but I don't. And my parents don't. Everything costs so much nowadays. Excuse me while I go be very sad now. I think I'll go read my book because at least maybe that will make me happier.
Well, I e-mailed my host today to find out why I haven't gotten my account info for my new domain yet and he e-mailed me back. He says he's got 20 domains waiting to be setup and it's the only part of his job he hates. lmao I understand in a way. It's like when I forget to check my e-mail where I get all my fanlisting submissions for a few days and then they start to pile up and there's a TON! lol So yeah, I should get the info for my new domain within the next few days I'm sure or by the end of the week at the latest. I can wait I guess. ;) Also, after I get it setup, I'll probably e-mail the URL to a few people and then the rest will have to ask me for it. lol And it's not really a selective viewing thing, I'm just not going to post it for everyone. If you're really interested to see it, then by all means, click on contact over there to the right and drop me a line to let me know! lol
I didn't do much today. Went to school and made it to photo class just in time. :D lol Then I worked out afterwards. I'm not exactly seeing the results I want from working out, but hey, I can actually tell there are muscles in the backs of my arms and I can feel the muscles in my back! lol Why would I want those in good shape? Archery people! It's all about archery! lol Speaking of that, there's not very many members over at the Archery Fanlisting so if you like archery, please join. :) Then I came home and my mom and I went up to the lake to take pictures and surprise, surprise! It's been raining a fair amount lately, but the lake is WAY down! lol It's not quite as low as when I took that picture that's up at 4606.net, but it's pretty close. So, I had a fun adventure in the mud! lol At least this time I didn't get my entire leg stucked into it and stuck for about ten minutes. ;) lmao
After that I went to work. It was okay I guess. Business has been picking up there. I think we're going to need to have three people closing if it keeps picking up like this. I'm hoping I'll be gone from there by then though. ;) lmao I love the theatre though. :) Yesterday was a good day there and I had good conversations with two of my co-workers so that was nice. :) I didn't end up watching the movie though. I'll either go and see it with my mom tomorrow or Wednesday I think. Depends on if she feels up to it and when I get out of class and all that good junk.
Humm... because I'm bored and I don't have much else to do, here's a little survey thing that Sam sent me in an e-mail. I'm too lazy to e-mail it out to a bunch of people so I'll just put it up here. ;)
1. LAST MOVIE YOU SAW IN A THEATRE? Final Destination 2. I've got mixed feelings about it. lol I guess it was decent though.
2. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW? The Secret of Dragonhome by John Peel. I got it years ago and it rocks. I've only read it once and that was quite a while ago so I thought I'd read it again. :)
3. FAVORITE BOARD GAME? Uhh... I don't get to play them very often, but I am rather fond of my .com monopoly game. ;) lol Perfect for me ain't it? Only prob, is I can never get anyone to play it with me. :(
4. FAVORITE MAGAZINE? I don't get them much anymore and the only reason I ever bought them, or ever buy them now, is for articles on my Boys. lol
5. FAVORITE SMELLS? Humm... Sex on the Beach. lmao No, not really, I'm just kidding. ;) Humm... well, I LOVE the smell of garlic. lol
6. COMFORT FOOD? Chocolate or Kettle Corn. lol
7. FAVORITE SOUNDS? lol Well, I'll have to agree with Sam on the certain people singing thing. ;)
8. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING? Depends. If I was having an interesting dream I try to go over it all so I don't forget it. If someone calls and wakes me up on a day where I get to sleep in the first thing I think is an angry thought about how rude it is to call people before noon. lmao
9. FAVORITE FAST FOOD PLACE? I've got three. Subway, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut.
10. FUTURE CHILD'S NAME? Well, IF I have children of my own, I'd want a boy first and his name would be Ryan and then I'd want a girl and her name would be Kevin. Yes, I would name my daughter Kevin, you read right. I like it as a girl's name. :)
11.FINISH THIS STATEMENT, "IF I HAD A LOT OF MONEY, I WOULD...?" Buy myself a friggin' happy laptop and a Toyota Matrix and probably some other stuff. I would also donate a bunch of money to Make A Wish, breast cancer research, and a place that helps rape victims to "recover."
12. DO YOU DRIVE FAST? Well, sometimes I drive faster than the sign says. lol I'm not a big speeder though, but I usually go five over on the freeway, but then again, so does most everyone else. I ocasionally hit ten over, but that's always on accident and I've never been pulled over, which I praise God for. :) I take my corners too fast though, but I think I'd make a good race driver. ;)
13. DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL? Yup. I've got six lined up behind my pillows and then I've got a white seal that I actually cuddle with, plus I've got a big body pillow and I still sleep with a blanky. No lie. Ani and Aki can vouch for that. They've both seen it. It's REALLY falling apart though. lol
14. STORMS-COOL OR SCARY? Let's consider this, I used to want to be struck by lightning and I'm not asking for it now, but if it happened and I was okay and all, I'd think it was freakin' cool. lmao That should give you your answer, however, they can sometimes scare me.
15. WHAT WAS (WILL BE) YOUR FIRST CAR? Well, I learned on our mini van, then we found me an '88 Toyota Corolla hatchback, but that DIED, so now I'm back to driving the van again. lol I'm hoping I'll get a Toyota Matrix one of these days though, if I get lucky anyway. ;)
16. FAVORITE DRINK?? Milk. White or chocolate.
17. FINISH THIS STATEMENT, "IF I HAD THE TIME, I WOULD LOVE TO..." Learn every language known, travel the world(and space if possible), work more so I could have the money for this all, study ancient cultures, find Atlantis, have a bunch more domains(lmao), etc., etc.
18. DO YOU EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI? Umm... yeah, the small pieces kinda get stuck to the heads and what are leaves and branches without a trunk? *giggles*
19. IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR, WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE? Well, I did put bright orange streaks in my hair and I could do it again if I wanted, but the dye doesn't stay in your hair very long and it's not as orange as it should be. I don't know why they call it PERMANENT hair dye.
20. HOW MANY DIFFERENT CITIES/TOWNS HAVE YOU LIVED IN? Umm... Well, I know we moved some when I was a baby, but I can't recal how often so let me think, at least 4 or 5.
21. GLASS HALF EMPTY OR FULL? Why is there always this question? I don't know! lol
22. FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH? HOCKEY! Yeah baby!
23. WHAT IS UNDER YOUR BED? My Furry Families(toy things), an electric keyboard, a claranet, a music stand, a box of stuff my Grandma sent me that she found in Ireland about our family, some plastic contains full of all sorts of stuff, and a box with old things in it, including my marble collection. lol
lol I deleted a few of the questions since they didn't really apply to posting this on one's blog. ;) So, am I interesting? lol I think I can be, but I'm sure that I'm quite strange. People tend to tell me I'm weird, but you know, whatever.

Oh my friggin' geesh! lmao I'm watching my Sound of Music DVD for the first time and there's an intermission in it! *rolls on the floor laughing hystarically* Wow, that is so not on my old VHS taping off the TV. lol I'm sorry, it's just such a kick to me that there's an intermission in a movie on a DVD for goodness sakes! lol I find this quite amusing.
Apparently I need to start a clique called Boyfriend Challenge or something like that. Of course, it WOULD have been nice if Ani'd called me instead of me just reading it off of her blog. lol This is definately going to have to be one of my first writing topics on my new site. Yup, you read right. It's another lovely domain too. ;) I think I'm going to really enjoy having it. It should be up by now, but my hosting company is being slow or something. lol It's going to be more like a journal and opinions site than a blog like this one is. More personal I guess you could say. I don't think I'll be posting the URL either so if you want it, then e-mail me and ask for it and I'll let you know when it's up. :)
I had to stay up late last night reading to get my thoughts of death. lmao I think too damn much, you know? Like, the movie didn't scare me, but then I started to think about things and scared myself. Same thing happened both nights after I saw Signs. lol I wanna get that movie, but I'm not sure if I should ever watch it again for the sake that I'll freak myself out even though I KNOW it's not going to happen and whatnot. lol I'm so sad.
I slept well into the afternoon and woke up with just enough time to eat and get ready and leave for work. Work was all right I guess. Business has been picking up, which is essentially good, but it also kinda sucks, ya know. lol But at least I wasn't bored and it didn't seem like I'd been there for eight hours rather than four like it usually does. We might end up needing to put more than two people closing in the evenings soon though because we didn't get started on things until there was only an hour left before closing time and I'm actually surprised that we managed to finish on time.
Lastly, thanks to Sam, Mel, and Kriss for the lovely guestbook entries. :D I got a kick out of yours Kriss. lmao Also, thanks to Kelsey for the comment on the tag board. :D I'm glad you all like my layout. :) Ta ta for now!
Wee! *runs around the room waving her wand frantically and then whacks it against the wall and it breaks, pauses thoughtfully for a moment* I think I should have made a Ron layout instead! ;) lmao Anyway, here it is! Harry Potter and Gryffindor's Sword! YAY! lol I love the colors and I love the background and I love the pictures and I just love this layout! :D Expect it to be up for quite a while, but then again, my layouts usually are. *laughs* You know this site is over two years old and this is only layout number 10? lol But yeah, PLEASE give me comments on it. :) And, I would prefer them as guestbook entries rather than just tags because the guestbook is lonely. Oh, and I haven't done a new questbook layout yet. I'll try and get that done soon, but I make no promises requarding it. ;)
Since I started Greymatter off freash and put all of the previous archives in ye old archives, I decided it would be better to wait until now to post about the movie yesterday and I didn't post on Thursday because I was just too dang lazy. lol So, Thursday, I woke up and was supposed to get out of bed and what did I do? I did the same thing I pretty much ALWAYS do and told myself I'd just lay down for another two minutes and then I'd get up. But guess what happened! I fell back asleep! Therefore, Ran called me when I didn't show up for our workout and that's what woke me up. Damn, I'm an ideot and a terrible friend or something. I mean, it was my idea to do this workout class and I talked Randilinn into taking it with me, and what do I do? I bail out half the time. *smacks herself* I'm going to make a serious effort not to do that again because I feel really bad about it all, ya know?
And if ditching Ran wasn't bad enough, by the time she called and woke me up, it was already too late for me to leave and get to photo, so I just stayed home. I could have really used that day in photo too as we were going to look at past projects done by other students for the zone system, but no, I'm an ideot! Oy! *hangs head in shame* So, I stayed at home, watched TV and then I read the two documents from the history book for the quiz that night. Yet again, I did not completely understand them, but I could grasp what the general ideas were.
I left early to go print in the photo lab and then do my workout before history class. I had an unpleasant photo printing session. Why? Because apparently the cheep paper with a weird name that I bought sucks! It has no contrast and everything looks WAY flat. So, I think I have to go reprint everything on good paper on Monday before class. Anyway, then I went and did a workout and I'm not sure if the computer gave me my visit or not. Whatever. History was interesting, I guess. Or, at least the parts I paid attention to anyway. I spend most of the first hour staring at the map and memorizing it for the quiz after break. lol If you haven't already noticed, I don't study a lot, nor do I study days ahead of time. I just kinda look at stuff the day before or the day of and hope I can remember everything and I do all right. It hasn't really failed me yet either. I think I did okay on the quiz, but who knows 'cause I might have mixed up some map stuff this time. Then again, that's what I thought last time and I got a perfect score. My, that was definately a surprise.
I was planning to go for a workout yesterday morning(Friday) before the movie, but then I decided not to. I was ready to go on time and all, but I decided I didn't want to go workout and be all sweaty through the movie and then have to go straight to work. I'm sure you all understand. lol I picked up Autumn at the scheduled time and we went to the store to get a little candy before we headed over to the theater. Andrew pulled in right about the same time we did so we all went and grabbed our tickets. Andrew informed us that one of the others who was supposed to come had just called him and cancelled. No one else that was supposed to come showed up so it was just the three of us as usual. lol We saw Final Destination 2 and well, it wasn't the worst sequal in creation, but it didn't cut it when you connected it with the first one. And dang, it just ticks me off the way they... oh shoot! I can't say 'cause no one else has seen it yet! Grr! Anyway, I have many aggrivations to it that perhaps I'll post in a few weeks when it's been out a little longer. lmao The biggest is that Devon wasn't in it. They should have just scrapped the whole idea of a sequal as soon as Devon said he wasn't going to do it, because their lame excuse of trying to make it work lacked so much explanation I wouldn't even know where to begin! Dangit, I really wanna say this thing about one of the deaths, but I can't. Arg. lol There is something I will say though. If you're planning on seeing, be forewarned that in the first scene with her premontion there's this biker chick that flashes them and they show it. That just pissed me off right away. THERE WAS NO PURPOSE FOR THAT IN THE MOVIE! People, the movie's about death coming after everyone and that chick and the guy who was driving the bike aren't even involved the accident or anything, it's just there, for no reason. Why must they do these things to try and attract guys to watching these movies and such? Oy! Now I need to smack someone else's head! lmao Preferably the person who wrote that into the script! lmao Oh yeah, and Autumn claims it was scary, as did Andrew, whereas I do not find it so. I don't know, maybe I know that that's so unrealistic that it just doesn't bother me or something. Personally, what I find scary is movies like Silence of the Lambs. I have never seen that movie and I NEVER will. That's real. Things like that can and have happened. I don't really know much about the movie, I just know he plans and purposely kills all these people in really sick ways 'cause he's a really sick man. Ani keeps trying to tell me stuff from the movie every once in a while and I keep having to tell her to stop because I don't want to hear any of it. THAT is scary.
I knew this was going to happen. I even told him it would. lol Andrew asked me if I had any good movies he could borrow when I talked to him on Thursday night and so I read them all off and I lent him four and now I'm thinking I'd really like to watch one of them, but I can't. lmao That's just the way it goes. You lend someone a movie that you haven't watched for a while and then as soon as you can't watch it, you want to. lol I just hope he takes good care of them. I mean, two of them are a little hard to come by. The other two aren't hard to find at all so I could replace them easily, but still, hope he takes good care of them. lol Humm... now I shall go and figure out what to watch. Or maybe I already have. Maybe I'll watch The Care Bears Movie II. :D
