Yay! Shopping today turned out to be a VERY good thing. :D We went and picked up Autumn around 9:30am and headed to the mall. We went into Sears first and got me a new coat that's this shiny bluish-gray color. lol Nice though. And while we were there, Autumn and I discovered the perfect shirts to go back and buy and wear when we go down to Cali this summer and go to Medieval Times. :) They were all fuzzy jand shimmery and they went into points at the bottom and had the nice happy sleeves. lol I'm wonderful with descriptions, I know. ;) lmao Then, Autumn and I went into Hot Topic and they had the Grumpy Bear Hoodie! lol I didn't get that though. Instead, I got the bondage pants I've always wanted and they've got stars on them! *dances around* They are the most expensive pants I've ever owned... $49, but I think they were well worth it. :D I also got a shirt to match with it, a black sweat band with a red star to go as well, and some Felix The Cat shoelaces that Autumn found for me. :) Autumn and I were thinking that we should have been like the millionth customers or something and they should have given us like 15 minutes to pick up anything we wanted and we would get that all. lol That would be very nice considering between the two of us we want at least half the store and the clothes are a little pricey. lmao Humm... I'm going through all the stuff in the online store and I think I'm going to have to create myself a wishlist so that I remember it all. lol
After that, we went over to Rave and I got a gray three-quarter sleeve shirt that has a white with black stripes blouse sticking out the bottom, top, and sleeves. :) It's quite happy and I really like it. lol I went instantly from punk style back to semi-preppy. I have very odd tastes. lmao
Then we went and ate at Subway before heading over to Wal*Mart. They had the flanel pants I wanted again, but the biggest size they had was 5. I am so not even close to being a size 5! Arg. Anyway, there was some other stuff that was nice too, but I contained myself for the most part. Then I saw a nice Christmas-y bandana for my hair so I grabbed that and I also found an over the shoulder back pack and it was only ten bucks so Mommy got it for me. :D I've been wanting one of those things for over a year now and I've finally got one! Wee! *bounces*
We stopped by my work and got my paycheck on the way home and they cheeted me again! I told them to fix it, but they didn't and they took WAY too much money out of my paycheck. I'm going to have to call and have my mom explain to Alanna that she needs to call the payroll company and get them to fix it and give me my money asap. I also need to make sure I get more hours next week... I only got 13 this week and I told them when I applied that I wanted at least 15 and 20 would be nice. Well, gonna go through Hot Topic stuff and then get on to working on some site things that need to get done. TTFN!
Oh my friggin' giesh! Okay, so Aceetha is the bomb and she has the "Do I Have To Cry For You?" video up over at No-Kaos.Net so I just spent like 15 minutes playing solitaire and free cell while I waited for it to download, right? Okay, so it finished and I watched it. Starts out wonderfully until you see the slut! I ask you, WTF is up with her? I'm sorry, but when listening to that song, that's not exactly the type of thing I envision as it actually being about, you know? Ugh! For those of you that haven't seen it and might think I'm being harsh by referring to this chick as a slut, I'm so not. She's got all the classic slut trademarks including the black eyes, skanky clothing, and just looking like an all around idiot that does pot and sleeps around! Shit, I just can't freakin' get over this. It was quite interesting though when they were fighting... Nick looked pretty pissed. Then of course, he breaks a chair! lmao Holy shit, better not make that boy mad if you're a slut and you're dating him. lmao Okay, let me watch the thing again, see if I left anything out... Humm, the slut also has the black nail polish, which, okay, my nails have been black before, but that's because they were alternating black and blue for the album release and well, yeah, that makes sense to me, but still. And there's also her lovely feelin' herself up thing. FAWK, Nick did a video made for MTV and the nastiness that is that channel. Can you tell this is, umm... irking me a bit? *continues watching* Another thing, they stole my idea. Okay, so it was an idea more for "Miss America," but still they stole the whole performing in a little cafe thing... I think they're tapping into my brain and stealing all my good thoughts. There's going to be none left soon and I'll turn out to be an evil slut too! lmao And wow, how did I leave out the part about her dancing around in her underware for Nick while he sits on the bed and claps(WTF?), that's quite lovely too. *rolls eyes*
Of good things though, it is really a beautiful song, Nick's still darn cute, he walks on a dirt road with a guitar case over his shoulder which I find very happy, and Nick's barefoot while he's playing the guitar in the hotel room and most everyone knows about my fetish for his feet and toes. But man, that could have been a great video if they hadn't done all that nasty shit. Could have been down right good and pleasing in my sight. But, as it is, I'm sure they don't really give a shit about what I think. Umm yeah, it's a good thing Thanksgiving is over 'cause that really would have ruined it for me. As it is, now I get to go to bed slightly peeved. Oh yay the joy that is my life.
Here's something fun before I sign off and go to sleep. *picks up egg* This is Nick's brain when he was good. *cracks egg into a heated frying pan* This is Nick's brain while he's trying to please a group of people that will most likely never really accept him while he turns his back on those who already have. *pauses as the revelation hits her* Wow, this is a first... I am genuinely ticked off at Nick. Had to happen sooner or later and yay for today! *claps hands like an ideot mimicking parts of the video* But you know what, despite the fact that I become more and more dissapointed with the way Nick acts I still love him. Why is that?
(Note: For those of you that don't really know me, let me explain the use of the word love when it comes to Nick. I don't love him like I want to marry him, or even date him. I love him like he's special to me and a friend even though I don't actually know him.)
(Another Note: I think this entry has been edited about 4 or 5 times and I'm not really peeved anymore. It's this whole thing with me where I can't be angry about anything for more than a day and it's usually, like in this case, not even close to that.)

Wow... Okay, so I was getting sick of the stupid upgrade pop-up every two weeks when I started AIM so I just gave in and decided to get the upgrade... it looks froofy. lol Seriously, it's an XP wannabe program and that's just scary. *sigh* Why couldn't everyone have just kept the nice gray-ness of it all? I like it that way. I don't like this blue and green goofy look, it's too scary. And, besides the fact that it looks funny, XP just sucks. It's a piece of crap. My parents have it on the new computer and... yuck! It sickens me. Of course, I changed my setting to the standard Windows look, but half of it is still XP-like. Humm... nuff of that.
So, I watched the Indiana Jones where he's sercing for the Holy Grail(forget the actual title of it, lol) and then right after that one was over, Temple Of Doom started on another channel so I watched that! lol Okay, so I missed part of the middle because it was time to eat dinner(which was good), but I saw most of it. ;) lol Then when that was over I flipped on Disney and The Santa Clause was starting so I watched half of that before retreating back here to my computer. *laughs*
Now, I was just over reading what Andrea has to say for herself and I have some things in reply. *L* First off Ani, let me inform you that Aaron's almost 15 now whereas Dan, who plays Harry, is 12(not 11), and that's a fair difference. lol And yeah, the guy who plays Draco's 14 and I don't know about the guy who plays Oliver, but I'd imagine he's close to our age, don't you think? Oh, and I was on HarryPotter.com last night and I hate to break it to you, but the hat knew I'm a good child and it put me into Gryffindor. lol And I forget what type of wand I got, but it was cool. :) lol
I just finished fast forwarding through the parade and there was no Nick! lol Arg. And the whole thing was more like a commercial fest than a parade! *throws hands up in the air in discust* The whole thing was 2 hours long, but I tell you that at least an hour of that, if not more, was commercials! Whatever. It didn't look very good at all though. *sigh* Now I'm entertaining myself with Indian Jones so yeah, whatever. lol I'm excited for dinner though. :) lmao I get green bean caserole and fizzy cider! Yay! lol For those of you that don't know, I don't particularly like turkey and I REALLY dislike stuffing, therefore, I get green bean goodness instead. :) Haha! Anyway, off I go back to the movie and then I think I need to call up all of my cousins and wish them a Happy Thanksgiving. :D Oh, and Sam, I'll get online in an hour or two or something so I hope to chat with you then. :)
Oh my gosh... this is the greatest thing ever! lmao I wish I would have known before so I could've taped it. lmao Autumn would love this too. Okay, so I was gonna eat and watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade that I taped after I got out of the shower, but my parents were watching this weird thing on TV and wouldn't let me. lol Well, I sat down and started eating and watching it and it's so hilarious! lmao It's a 1954 musical called Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. roflmao Oh no! This is great! They think the only way they'll get the girls they're in love with is to statch 'em up and take them back up into the mountains with them! HAHAHA! This is great! I love this movie! lmao Those poor boys... they're being misled by their eldest brother who knows nothing about how to treat a lady. lol *shakes head in sadness at the whole thing* lmao Man, everyone should watch this movie... so great. Hahaha!
I was so excited yesterday because Autumn was on AIM and she told me that her cousin got us VIP line passes so we could get in first and be up in the front row on the floor! WOO! Then, I was on the website looking to see what other prizes they have and they've got over 400 sets of 4 line passes so we'll still have to get there way early if we want to get close. :( Oh well, maybe it'll help a bit still and there's always the hope that not too many people actually get the line passes. lol
Humm... there was something else I was going to write about from yesterday... *thinks* Well, I got beaned in the head at work! lmao Andrew(not the movie Andrew, a different one... lol) was trying to get a metal insert down for Alanna and he knocked over a tray and it fell right on my head. lmao It hurt, but just for a bit. I've hit my head on so many different things over the years so my head's pretty hard at least. lol
Tomorrow my Mom, Autumn and me are going shopping. lol What a day to go, I know, but we are. We're only gonna make a few stops though so hopefully it won't be too terrible. lmao Well, guess that's it for now, the movie's over so I'm gonna watch the parade and see Nick. :) TTFN!

Man, I was looking at a map of Florida earlier and the two school's I'm currently looking at down there are way far from each other and the place I want to work there is pretty far from the school closest to it. Arg. One of the school's is in Winter Park(N. of Orlando), the other is in Ft. Lauderdale(sp?), and the job is in Kissimee(sp on that too, lol). Arg. lol Maybe I should just become a pirate. I like saying arg so much that I think I'll fit right in. ;) lmao Anyway, that all made me sad, but Sam said she'd still be my roommate, only problem is that won't be for another like, four years. lmao I'll have to find someone else until then, but at least Autumn has expressed interest in that. :)
This summer's going to be quite eventful. :D My mom's thinking about letting me do two different things, but I think she's leaning toward yes for both of them... I think. lol One is a road trip down to So. Cali with Autumn for sure and maybe someone else or two. :D That'd be SOOOOO much fun! lol And we'll definately have to go to Medieval Times because I haven't been there for a few years and it just kicks! lol BTW, that's where I'd like to work in FL. lol There's a few around the country and even one up in Canada. But yeah, don't know how that all will work out. lol The other thing my mom's thinking about letting me do is flying up to visit Sam! Wee! That's right Sam, I asked her and she's thinking about it and I think she might say yes and it turns out she still has that free airline ticket after all so that might work. :D Anyway, those are two possiblities that I'm hoping will work out 'cause the both sound like so much fun. lol I also wanna be in a movie so I can get money to do all these things and then buy a new car. lmao But that's subject to a lot of different factors. ;)
Speaking of my car and why I want a new one, my Corrolla's completely dead. There's no hope for it any longer. Apparently, something else besides the head gasket is broken and well, we don't know what it is and to fix it all we'd probably have to put in a whole new engine and that just wouldn't be worth it. So, if anyone hears about any contests to win a Toyota Matrix, drop me a line, k? lol Then again, I'd probably take any other car for free too seeing as I just need one that'll work. lmao My dad wants to sell the van I'm currently driving and my dead car(as parts for that one) and get a Celica. I don't want a Celica... lol Those things are just too tiny... I can't drive that to Cali and back... lmao Mind you, it would give me better gas milage, but it would still be too dinky for me. lmao Maybe I can find a used Matrix for a decent price... highly unlikely, but possible. lol
Well, guess this is it for tonight. Word on the hosting situation for f-o-t.net is that the new server should hopefully be up by the first of December, and I'm hoping it will at least be up by then, if not sooner. Then, if I get lucky, there'll be no more problems with it... if I get lucky. lmao Anyway, g'night, g'night and farewell to ye matey! Arg.

Okay, so after I got my JBB tickets, I e-mailed Kaci(one of the Kiss DJs) and asked her if there was any way I could meet Nick at the show. I know half of you think I'm a freak for doing that, but it's worth a shot, so I had to tryp. Anyway, Kaci rocks because she actually replies to my dorky e-mails like that and she's really nice. :D She even replied to the e-mail that I wrote during the summer before BFD and that was a sad, sad e-mail 'cause I think I was having an "I'm the biggest dork ever" moment when I wrote it. lmao Anyway, so she wrote me back and told me that if they've got any backstage passes, they'll be giving them away in a few weeks when it gets closer to the show and then she wrote, "I know you're anxious- and he's cute, so I don't blame you!" and then asked me what my fave song off the new album was. :) I told her I didn't know, but that I really like "End Of Forever" since that is where I got fear-of-tears.net from anyway. lol Ooh, which reminds me... that's not going to be up for 7-10 days according to my hosting company(arg) and that's like... forever in internet terms. lol So I think I'll probably post something up at if-you-knew.com about all that and for anyone who reads the blogs and such of the gals that are my hostees for those, they'll probably be back up on if-you-knew.com for a while until the server gets fixed.
Meteorology was awesome today! lol We had a guest speaker from the National Weather Service Seattle location come in and tell us about what they do and give a presenation. :) I even got a chocolate kiss 'cause I answered a question right. lmao It's a college class and we get rewarded for participating with chocolate kisses. *giggles* Can't say I mind too much though. ;) Anyway, I was all excited to find out that there was a tornado in the state of Washington on my birthday in... 1994, I think it was! lol It was a rather pathetic one I believe, but nonetheless, it was there. lol I think I must be crazy. Me and my love for severe weather. lmao I mean, it's sad that bad weather things like that can cause people to get hurt or killed, but they just look so cool and are so interesting that I can't help but love them. I am crazy.
Welp, I've got work tonight, but that's about it. Boring, boring. I'm pretty sure we'll be slow again. We've been pretty slow in the evening almost every time I've worked, especially lately. Oh, and speaking of work, I'm offically hired at the theatre down in town! Wee! *dances a jig* I'm only working one day a week there for now, but that still makes me excited because I love that little theatre. It's a one room one that was originally built in the '50s I think and then it was renovated a few years back when some people from my church bought it. It's so much fun to go there though and it makes me feel all special that I get to work there. Not to mention, I'm going to get free movies as well. ;) Humm... better go. Gonna try and do some constructive things before I've gotta leave for work. TTFN!

The good news... I got my meteorology project done. Don't know what kind of grade I'll get on it, but it's done. lmao The bad news, I couldn't finish the limerick I wanted to write for it! Arg. I got the first four lines and there was only one line left to go, but it just would not flow right so I gave up. There's no creativity in my project. *sigh* So much for me having been so hyped up about it when we first got the assignment and wanting to do something really cool. That's it. lmao My head hurts and I think I'm going to actually go to bed before 11pm. lol It's a miracle! Anyway, that's it for tonight and perhaps I'll rant about fear-of-tears.net being messed up tomorrow. TTFN!
Saturday, November 23, 2002
Okay, so late last night after Ani left(she came over and we weatched Newsies and did some other stuff and then she got mad at me 'cause I wouldn't tell her something, lol), I was putting around on the internet and I just happened to cuise over to this Nick site to check news since cant-imagine.net was down again and you know what I found... Nick Carter just got added to JBB 5 in Tacoma! AHHHH!!!! So, this morning when I got up, I asked mommy for her credit card and I got two tickets. :D YAY!!! I getta go and see Nickolas perform!!! *runs around the house all happily* Yay! lol Well, I think that's pretty much all I have to post for today. I've got work tonight and then tomorrow I'm going to go see Harry Potter again and come home and get my meteorology project done. I was a good girl kinda yesterday though 'cause I stayed up late and did my homework for that class that's also due on Monday. :) Anyway, I'm hungry. lol TTFN!
Thursday, November 21, 2002
Well, it happened. I gave in and now the tag board is affectionatly called Nicky. lmao All credit for the name goes to Sam of course. ;) Thanks Sam... I think. lmao *hopes the real Nicky never comes by this site to see that* lol
I got 215 in archery today and I'm okay with that. I'd still like to beat my high score, but at least I'm staying above 200 every class day now. Oh no! I just realized I only get archery one day next week 'cause of the holiday! AHH! How sad. :( I guess it's all right though since it does mean that I get a 4-day weekend. ;)
Today in meteorology we talked about lightning. It kinda feels like we didn't do anything in that class though because I already knew how lightning worked before today. I've known for quite a few years actually since in 7th grade I went through a phase where I really wanted to be struck by lightning. I still think it would be cool, as long as I didn't have any problems from it though... that would be bad if I did. lol Nicole sat in on the class and then we went to Red Robin's for lunch and that was cool. :)
My mom and I were going to go see Tuck Everlasting down in town this afternoon, but she ended up having to work late and feeling too tired. It's okay though 'cause I've already seen it and I really should get started on my meteorology project that's due on Monday. lmao That would probably be a really good idea, huh? lmao I'm so bad. I procrastinate with everything. It really sucks too because I was originally so excited about the project, but now I can't even figure out what city I want to do it on or anything. I think I'm probably just going to go with my first choice and do Dublin, Ireland. Wait! I actually have an idea on how to do it now too! lmao Right on! Blogging is good for inspiration, I tell ya. ;) I'm going to do it on Dublin and then write it from the perspective of one of my ancestors! lol Or well, a fictional ancestor or something since I don't really know any of the first names to them so I'd probably have to make that part up. lol Humm... I could either do it as a diary or something else... anyone have any other ideas on how to write it? I can do it however I want as long as I put in the facts that I've got to find out about the climate of the area which is just like temperatures and winds and precipitation and stuff. I really have to get started on finding a bunch of stuff tonight. lol I wonder when the library opens down in town... I should probably stop by there tomorrow for sure.
I guess that's it for now. I can't remember what else I was going to post. Oh, and as a reminder, don't forget to check out the End Of Forever fanlisting and join if you haven't already done so. :) I'll probably add the first bunch of members later tonight after I eat and do a little research for my project. ;) TTFN!
Wednesday, November 20, 2002
Darn well figures! lol My meteorology proff. has already see that MOOjita scale thing. Dangit! lol Oh well, I gave him the sheet anyway and he said he'd say that on Friday and everything, but it still just kinda sucks. lmao Other than that my day was all right until I just realized that I forgot to put my laundry in the dryer!!! AHHH!!!! I'm such an ideot. And on top of that, I forgot about taking a shower until 10pm when my mom said she was going to bed which means, too late for a shower. So yeah, I get to drag myself out of bed early tomorrow morning and you know what, I'm going to skip photo for the first time because I'm not going to get up THAT early. It just would not be a good thing at all. Anyway...
I spent most of the afternoon and evening working on sites and such on my comp instead of starting on my meteorology project that's due on Monday. I REALLY have to start that tomorrow or I'm going to very well have to hit myself over the head with a frying pan or something. Anyway, turns out that Hotmail was the reason why I didn't get the hosting info for fear-of-tears.net when I should have. Apparently they sent me that info every day since Saturday and I never got it until today. Weird if you ask me. lol But so I finally got it and that's the important part so I setup all my hostee's ftp and e-mail stuff and mailed that all out to them, then I put up my really pretty opening soon page. :D I think all of you should go and see. ;) Oh, and everyone needs to join my new fanlisting too!! *dances around the room* I put that up as well today since I was only waiting to get the f-o-t info and then I just typed up all the coding and pages real fast. :) So yeah, I guess not everyone should join it, but everyone who loves "End Of Forever" should. I present the "End Of Forever" fanlisting! Wee haw! And for those of you who don't know, that's a song off of Nick's recent solo works and he had a hand in writing it. :) Very good song. Should have been on the album if you ask me, but at least they stuck it on the "Help Me" single so I could get it in good quality. ;)
I also e-mailed the place that's doing all the grad stuff for my high school to see if they'd let me slide since it's two days after the "deadline" to turn in your request. The guy e-mailed me back and said "will do." lol I just got the most basic thing with the cap, gown, and tassel. Essentially, my mom and dad are paying $30.50 for a tassel. lmao Just seems wrong to me.
Man, my mom was watching Oprah today and she said there was a clip of Kevin that would be on the news later, but she didn't tell me until after the news was over and now I can't find it on their website! lmao He's gonna be up here at some point and I wanna know when so I can keep an eye out. lol Not like I'd actually be anywhere where I could run into him, but you never know. lol Arg. That's what I have to say, arg. lol Well, I'm sure there was more I'd planned on posting, but my head hurts and I'm tired. Goodnight all.
Tuesday, November 19, 2002
I got my photo test back today. I missed two questions leaving me with a 90. :) So I still got an A and that was all good. But then, I went and got my last photo assignment that I had to turn in and I got a friggin' C-!!!! I need to talk to him about it I think. Because like, I only turned in one print and you're supposed to do two, but none of the others turned out, so I knew that'd knock me down, but then he knocked me down more because he said my contact sheet was underexposed and yes, a few shots were, but I knew I was doing it and did it on purpose! Arg. So, I'm hoping that if I talk to him about that he'll raise it up a bit. Archery made me much happier though. :D lol On my first warm-up round, I shot a 46 and then two rounds later(the first scoring round) I shot a 51!!!! *dances all around the house* That's the first time I've broken 50 all this quarter and I think last time I'd only broken it once, if that. lol So yeah, in total today, I got a 220 which pleases me. :) And I found out that my score from last Thursday was 210 and that was pretty darn happy too. :D
And guess what we started talking about today in meteorology! Thunderstorms!!! Wee haw! I'm so massively excited! lmao I even went and found the MOOjita scale again and I'm going to submit that for Friday humor this week since we'll also be talking about tornados soon. :) It's funny. The real scale for measuring tornado intensity is called the Fujita scale, but this meteorologist did a new version after seeing the movie Twister. You can go look at it here.
I came home and spent a few hours chatting with peeps on AIM and finishing this. :) I think Brian and Nick are a bit too light, and I even darkened them up a bunch! lol I could get it darker and better, but it would take a good few hours for me to do it and well, I don't have that much time, nor do I want to spend that much time, working on it. lol So, they'll just stay slightly like, no big. ;) I really like the colors though. That's what variations in Photoshop'll do for ya. lol Gotta love that option. :D Now I'm just chillin' and waiting for it to be time to leave for dance. That should be fun tonight. Well, except that our current dance has a lot of down on the floor stuff that's killing my knees. lol
Apparently, it's unanimous that I should go to my Graduation this June. And, for the time being, I've decided to go. Not because everyone tells me I should and the poll, but because I just figured that I might as well and I want to TA the Web 2 class down at the high school next semester(if I can) so it'd be weird if I was actually down at the high school sometimes and didn't go. I donno, I guess I'll just go and if I regret going, too bad for me. lmao I hope the cap and gown people will be nice to me since I was kinda supposed to let them know by yesterday if I wanted to put a cap and gown on hold and I probably won't get in contact with them until tomorrow... lol Oops. *looks around the room and whistles even though she sucks at that, lol*
Oh yeah! And I've just gotta vent about this for a bit. lol Aceetha already knows all about it because we've been venting about bad hosting experiances and domain losses and such. lol But, for the rest of you, I bought space on Saturday for fear-of-tears.net. As you can see, there's this little under construction page there even though I've already got the whole coming soon page done and would have uploaded it on Saturday if I could have. On Saturday, my dad's e-mail account(had to use that for PayPal) got a payment confirmation that said the info had already been sent, but it wasn't in his e-mail nor my e-mail that I actually signed up with. Since Saturday, I've sent a few e-mails and haven't gotten any responses and haven't gotten my login info yet so I can't do anything with it! ARG! If I don't get it by tomorrow, I'm calling the number listed on Whois and telling them I want my freakin' info or I'm going to be darn well ticked off! lmao Not only does this all suck for me, but it also sucks for all my hostees over at if-you-knew.com since f-o-t is the replacement for that and they can't move yet. Oy! Oh yeah, and one more thing before I go. I'm an ideot. Apparently Nick's video for "Do I Have To Cry For You?" debuted on TRL yesterday and I just found out about it today. Dang me! *slaps self*
Sunday, November 17, 2002
Yesterday. Well, yesterday was work. And that's pretty much it. It was an all right work day, but I was bummed 'cause the power didn't go out. The power people were actually smart and put all the power lines underground out where I work. lol It was all right though. Then, of course, when I got home, I couldn't just go to sleep, that's no fun at all. So, I started my meteorology homework and The Sound of Music and stayed up until 2:30 am. lmao I need to learn to go to sleep at decent times.
Despite my late-night activities, I managed to get up this morning and go to church. I decided to go to Sunday School instead of the main service because I thought I'd give it another chance. It was all right, but I probably won't go again. I don't feel right with those people there. I mean, they're all pretty nice and all, it's just that... I'm a nerd and I think differently than they all do and well, I just plain don't fit in around there. But yeah, after church, I came home and got ready and then it was off to work. And guess what... I got off at 4:30 pm when I was supposed to be there until 7:30 or 8! Woo! *dances* AND, I got offered a job at the theatre down in town that I've been wanting to work at for forever! lol It's just going to be for one night a week for now and I'm going to stay at my current job and keep making sandwiches, but it made me very excited and happy. :D lol
And since I got off work early, I did some studying for my photo test tomorrow. Wish me luck on it. lol I can't remember what format it's in, but I hope at least part of it is multiple choice or something! lmao I'm thinking I should do okay though, but you never know.
Oh yeah, and I was just reminded that I need to post about my thoughts on graduation. I don't know what I'm going to do. Seems as though most everyone wants me to go/thinks I should go, but there's this undecided feeling all within me and I just don't know. I think the "deadline" for ordering the cap and gown is tomorrow, but I can't remember. I'm just not sure. I've tried to explain it to a few people like Ani, but I can't really describe it all. I'm basically going to make a last minute decision on the whole thing and I'm sure that if I didn't decide until later, there'd still be a way to get me a cap and gown or something. Whatever. Goodnight.

Yesterday, I picked up Autumn on my way home from college and we came to my house and did basically nothing until my mom got home. lol Then we got money from her and went down to the store for some food and to rent Star Wars: Episode II. :D Gotta heart that movie. lol I'm going to watch in again as soon as I finish posting this since I've gotta turn it back in tomorrow. :) Anyway, after that was over Autumn and I went through some of my poems and talked about a bunch of junk and then we watched Rudolph(the cartoon that we can't figure out how they made it) and that was happy. Then we watched a bunch of REALLY old Christmas cartoons and shows that I have on this tape and it was so rad! lmao After that, it was kinda late and we decided it would be a good idea to go to sleep and we were both starting to nodd off anyway. ;)
We woke up this morning and talked for an hour before actually getting up and doing anything and that was quite nice. lol We were very lazy. Then we went to my meteorology class and Aki sat in on it and drew the entire time while I was taking notes. lmao She wouldn't let me keep her doodles and she threw them away. Arg to her! lol
Guess what we did after that!!!! It was soooooo happy! We met up with Nicole from my archery class and we went and saw the new Harry Potter movie!! *dances around the room* That movie kicks so much freakin' butt that there's like none left to kick by the time it's over! lol I don't think there was anything about that movie that I didn't totally love. It's so good. Everyone must go and see it and know the love! Oh, oh, and after that, to make things even more joyous, Aki and I went to the arcade and got the 2 hours of unlimited play for $15 cards and had lots and lots of fun! :D
After I dropped Autumn off at home, I went and got my paycheck from work and that made me happy. :) There was a lot taken out of it though and my mom doesn't know what half of it is so I think I'll need to ask when I go to work tomorrow. Then, if the day wasn't already happy enough, I got free money in the mail!!!! Okay, so it's only like $25, but it's still free and I'm excited. :D
Oy, this weekend's going to suck though. I've got my photo mid-term on Monday, so I need to make sure I know everything for that and I haven't even looked at the study sheet, and I've got to do my meteorology homework. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem, but I've got the crappiest shifts at work and therefore, it is. I work from one to close both tomorrow night and Sunday night and tomorrow morning I'm not even going to get up until ten or eleven and then on Sunday I've got church so I'll have to go to work right after that's over pretty much and I have no idea when I'm going to get this stuff done. *sigh* Sometimes things just bite. Somehow I'll manage to figure it out, I just don't know how that'll be just yet. Whatever. Anyway, I'd better go. I'm a little hungry and I want to start the movie(yes, I should start on all the homework I just complained about, but I just don't want to, nor do I feel like it). Oh, and Sam, sorry, but I don't know if we're going to be able to chat at all this weekend. :( Maybe we'll get lucky though. :) Well, gotta motor!

Angel was a naughty kitty last night. She peed in my room... AGAIN! She does it on purpose too! It's because I wouldn't get up and let her outside, so she decided that if she pees in my room then I'll kick her out. Oy! She'd better not do it again or I will be very angry. She's a very lucky kitty too 'cause even though she's all mean like that, I still love her and give her lots of pets. I'm too nice or something. lmao
So, I got my stupid sheet signed this morning by my high school counselor so that I could register for winter quarter classes. He gave me this big long repetitive speech about college choices and things and I just sat there and agreed with everything hoping he'd stop and let me leave! lol He did finally and I jetted out of there. Then, I ended up getting out to school an hour early so I went to Kits Cameras to get some B&W film because my friend Elizabeth said she got a really great deal there and well, apparently they don't have that deal anymore because each roll of film was almost five bucks! That's crazy! So, I just got two for now(one roll of 100 speed and another of 400) and then went over to Subway to get some food. I got my fave, a B.M.T., and it was GOOD! lol I should've gone to work at some other fast food place and not Georgio's Subs. I only like the meatball subs at work and there's no way in heck I'm going to eat one of those things every night I work during dinner time. So, I'm just going to make the free sandwich that I get still and bring it home for my mom. lol Better not speak out and let anyone know that I hate half the stuff I put on the sandwich for my mom. ;) Hehehe.
Wow, three people have voted in my poll so far and you know what? It's not enough! lol So yeah, more people please click that little link up above and vote 'cause I don't know what to do and advice on these things is always good right? Crap, I gotta get ready for work. But, before I go, I just registered for my winter quarter classes and I'm taking Basic Photo II, US History: First Century of Independence(my last required class), and Life Fitness Training. :) I'll talk more about those later. Gotta go!

Yesterday I didn't even turn on my computer. I woke up around mid-day, watched Sister Act, took a shower, took some pictures for my photo assignment at my house and at the park with Ran, and then went to work. Arg to work. When I got there it was completely dead and there were three other people on. At least after a while it picked up a bit. And newsflash, I STILL don't like closing. lmao But then again, who does? lol ;)
Today I woke up early intending to go down to the high school to get my referral form signed so I could turn it in today, but when I called to make sure my counselor was going to be there, they told me he was going to be gone a field trip the whole day! I'm all like, since when does a school counselor go on field trips? lmao So yeah, I've got an appointment for tomorrow morning so that I'll still be able to register for my classes tomorrow afternoon after I get back from school. Anyway, then I went to school early to go develop my film. This was quite the entertaining experiance too. lmao I mean, when stuff like this happens to a person, the only right thing to do is shake your head and laugh at yourself right? That's what I do anyway. Oh, so what happened? Well, I had to wait a bit for a developing tank to free up so I did the last two questions of my meteorology homework and then there was one available. All went fine with rolling my film on the reel in the dark, I don't have any problems with that and am actually quite good at it, but then came time to pour in the chemicals. So, there were a fair amount of other people developing too so I squeezed myself in to get some of the D-76(the developer) and then you have to add some water to dilute it so I picked up the little hose thing, not realizing that the other hose thing was sitting on top of it, and I ended up making water pour all over the floor. lmao Yeah, I love me. ;) Then I did some other pretty stupid stuff while developing, including forgetting to pour the fixer and the hypo clear back into their containers since they're re-usable. I poured them down the sink and didn't even realized until after I'd poured down the hypo clear that I'd done it to both! Oy! lmao
I had some time to kill before archery started so I wandered around for a bit, but that didn't help much so I just decided to go and sit in the gym for 30 minutes and start my new friendship bracelet. It's coming along quite nicely, in case you wondered. ;) So, finally time to start shooting and my first two rounds sucked. But it was okay 'cause they were just practice rounds, you know, just to get you started and ready for the scoring period. Well, my horrible shooting went into the scoring rounds and I did pretty darn bad. I even shot another crazy arrow, which was something I was hoping I'd grown out of, but apparently not. So yeah, for once, archery really sucked today.
Meteorology was boring too. I basically just doodle over the margins of my notes or stared at them blankly. I'm getting rather confused with our current subjects in that class and I'm not sure how I'm going to do on the test on Thursday. I think I'm going to actually have to attempt to study... scary thought. After that, I went back to the photo lab to print my pictures and a few came out nicely, but the problem is that they're all almost exactly the same since I shot a bunch to make sure at least one would turn out, and then all the other different ones are screwed up in some way and guess what. I have to turn in two different ones! lol I'm gonna try and talk to my teacher tomorrow and see if he'll give me an extension or something since some of them didn't turn out, but I'm kinda thinking that he's not going to since we had over a week to do it all and I just shot the roll yesterday. lol Oops... I didn't really have any time any other days though so it's not totally my fault. Perhaps I'll scan the good shot though because I do actually kinda like it. :)
Guess this is it for now. I've got dance tonight so I don't think I'm going to get anything constructive done like things on my to-do list, but some of that stuff has got to be done soon or I'm going to be in deep shit. Especially the site for my "old" work. Oh, and there's a link at the top... a little poll I'd like you all to participate it. ;) And NO VOTING MORE THAN ONCE! lol That's especially for Ani. ;) lmao

Work sucked. Okay, okay, so it wasn't THAT bad, but it still sucked. The only interesting thing was finding out that one of the girls I work with used to live in Georgia right down the road from the Littrells! lol That was quite interesting. She didn't say if she'd ever met them or anything though. All she told me about it was when they lost their doggies there were tons of flyers up all over the neighborhood. That makes sense. lol Other than that, work sucked because it was boring, it gave me a headache, made my feet and my back hurt, AND my manager asked me if I'd work tomorrow and I told her I didn't really want to, but I would if I had to and she scheduled me. I have to close. I have to close every night I work this week. I do not like closing. *throws arms up in distaste* Ugh!
Sam put up a new layout. :) Apparently she needs my help with greymatter though 'cause her comments aren't working. lol I'm still proud of you though Sam! And you know what else Sam, arg to your comment on the tag board to annoy me and duh you know what the domain is! lol How could I not tell you? *giggles* :D Also, Tori got herself a tagboard. :) See Tori, that wasn't so hard, now was it? ;)
Humm... my headache is really starting to get to me. I can't remember anything else I was going to post and I'm pretty sure there was something else. Oh well, goodnight. *crawls to her bed and falls asleep instantly...* lol Or so I wish. ;)
EDIT: Wait, I remembered one more thing. My dad is so cool! lol He's a locksmith and the other day he brought me home a new key for our house that's got holly all over it! :) It's like a themed key or something. lol It's me on a key! Haha, okay, I'm done now. lol
Saturday, November 9, 2002
Humm... let's see... On Thursday I got a 203 in archery. :) I was kinda bummed 'cause I didn't break my previous score, but at the same time, I still broke 200 so that was good. Also, Brad beat me by three points. Arg. lol It's turning into a competiton now. lmao Oh, and I don't want any comments. Arg to you all for annoying me so! lol
After that came home for a bit and then went for my first real day of work. It was boring. lol It's not horribly terrible though and it's money so I'll just have to deal. Oh, and guess what was really happy about Thursday! I got a new domain! lmao Yeah, yeah, yeah, face it, you all knew it would come again at some point. lol I've given up on even thinking that "it'll be the last one" when I buy them. lol
Yesterday we took Balffers to the vet. He's going to be okay! :D He's got conjunctivitus(or something, lol) and so the doc gave him a shot and then we got some eye drops that we've gotta give him twice a day for a week. Balf doesn't like it very much. lol I can't blame him though. I'm not a big fan of eye drops either. lol But, Balf was a very good kitty boy the whole ride there and back and he (mostly) stayed on my lap the entire time and didn't mew too much or anything like that. :) He was very good.
Andrea (aka Bob, lol) came over and spent the night last night. We made chocolate chip cookies. Or, I guess I should say that we baked chocolate chip cookies since they were those Nestle break and bake thingies. lol They were very tasty though despite the fact that they got burned. We both decided that we'd blame it on Shawn since he called my house last night while we were in the middle of it. lol He did have some interesting things to say for himself though, but I'm not gonna post about that here. Sorry! Hehehe. Ani and I had much fun though and we watched The Fifth Element 'cause I'd never seen it before and she owns it. It was pretty good. I only have one qualm though. If fire, water, wind and earth are the four elements, then how does a "supreme being" be the fifth? I mean, a being is far from natural elements that work their magic and fury on the planet, right? lol That's the only thing that didn't quite make sense to me. It was cool that it was a chick though and not a guy, the ending was rather annoying though. lol Figures.
I went to work today too. At least it was just for a 5 hour shift and I didn't have to close, but it's still not what I would personally choose to use my valuable Saturday time doing. lol And guess what! I get to work tomorrow too and I have to close! Arg. The good news though is that we close an hour earlier on Sunday. *sigh* Wish me luck. Haha.
I spent the rest of my time today after work spooling a ton of embroidery floss that I use to make frendship bracelets and watching TV. I even happend to accidentally flip to Nickelodeon just in time to catch the All That episode with Nick Carter on it. lol *mimiks Nick* "Do you have any giant hair gel?" lmao Other than Nick though, that show pretty much sucks now. I liked the original cast much better with the cool stuff like the cooking with chocolate thing and the French phrases. *sigh* The good old days. lmao And what gives with them putting Britney Spears' dorky little sister on there? I mean, for goodness sakes, she's Britney Spears' dorkly little sister! lmao Anyway, Nick took a bite out of a pickle at the end and I found that rather entertaining and then turned the channel to watch Saving Private Ryan on ABC. I was still spooling floss for half that movie too. lol It was a lot of floss!
Humm... In a day or two, I might put up a poll. See, I still don't know if I want to attend my graduation or not so I thought I'd put up a poll and see what everyone else thought about it. ;) lol Andrea and I were talking about that and she already knows my answer about Prom. I told her that if Nick went with me, then I'd go. lmao And so, when she brought up graduation with that, I told her that if she got Nick to call me and tell me that he really wanted me to go and he would come to support me, then I'd go. lmao Yeah, I know, I'm a freak. lol Basically though, that's just my way of saying I'm not going 'cause it's well, highly unlikely that either of those situations would be the case. Ya know? lol Welp, gotta jet, ta ta!

You know, you'd think that I'd learn by now only to pick up a piece or two of popcorn instead of trying to stuff a whole handful into my mouth at once, but apparently I haven't. lmao I end up dropping a few pieces all down the front of me. lmao
*sniffles* Balthazar's sick. :( His nose is dry and he's got this really weird tan-colored covering over the inner corners of his eyes and it just looks scary. We're gonna take him to the vet's on Friday. It stinks though 'cause all the local vets want WAY too much money for a visit so we've gotta drive fairly far to get a decent price. But I'm just worried about him. He seems to be fine in every other way, but his eyes just look freaky. Angel's doing okay, she doesn't seem sick so that's good. I hope Balffers will be okay.
Ani, you just love to annoy me with these comments of yours don't you? You've even got Sam following in your footsteps now too! lol I doubt Brad likes me though. I've only actually started kinda talking to him in the last two or three class days anyway and it's over half way through the quarter. Plus, he just can't like me because Nicole likes him and gave him her phone number a LONG time ago and that would totally suck for her. So yeah, Brad just doesn't like me, at least not like that. lol
Today was my last day at work and tomorrow I have my first real day of work at my new job. Oh joy. lol It should be all right though. Everyone seems really nice and I don't think we're going to have any serious rushes or anything. Hopefully I can get one of the guys to clean the bathrooms too... lmao I don't particularly want to handle that part. lol I'll do a bunch of other cleaning, but I don't wanna do that. Yuck! Or at least maybe they'll do the guys bathroom and I'll do the girls. I could probably deal with that if I had to. ;) Humm... I could post a few other things, but nah, I'll leave that for another time or just forget about it completely since it's nothing all too great. ;) lol Ta ta!
Tuesday, November 5, 2002
Woo!!!! I was the Queen of the Target today in Archery!!! *dances around happily* Okay, well, I was the queen of my group's target at least. ;) So how good did I do? Well, it was my personal best. We shoot 5 rounds of 6 arrows each so your total possible point value per round is 60 and your grand total possible is 300. I got above 40 in each round and a grand total of 229!!! SHEAH!!! lol I was very proud of myself. ;) It was 'cause of the stars I tell ya. ;) lol I should probably explain that. For a long time a few years ago, I'd wear wire garland in my hair like, all the time. So, last night as I was trying to fall asleep, I was thinking about that and how I haven't worn it for a while and decided that I would today. So, I did. lol I wore my garland with gold stars flipping out all along it. It made me quite happy. :D lol Brad even told me it was cute too, which I found rather funny. lol We were walking into the gym at the same time and he gave me this funny look and I'm all like, "What? Does my garland scare you?" And he goes something like, "No, it's cute actually." lol Quite funny if you ask me. ;)
That's pretty much been my day so far. It's a very good day if you ask me. I think my mood carried over from last night and then my mad archery skills made it even better. :D lol Nothing else up right now except for chatting and then I'm gonna open up Photoshop and work on layouts and wallpapers and whatnot. :)
Monday, November 4, 2002
lmao Andrea thinks my "infatuation" with Nick has gone too far. Don't believe me? Here's the evidence...
Me: damn... Nick looks good on my sl.com layout. lmao sorry... just had to say it since that's what's up on my screen right now. lol
Ani: lol, i think he looks good too
Me: *hugs computer monitor* I love you Nicky! lol
Ani: lol
Ani: sometimes, Holly
Ani: sometimes I just think that this infatuation has gone too far
Me: *laughs as Nick sings* And I've always been down with the NYC 'cause I love the legs of Miss Liberty!
Me: lmao
Ani: lol
Me: really? you think so? *laughs*
Ani: yeah..
Ani: at least you're in a good mood!
Haha. I am in a good mood though. lol School was boring, work was fairly normal, but I'm exceptionally happy right now. I shouldn't be happy either because I still can't get the form mail script to work on the new CGI server over at Active, but I e-mailed the dude so hopefully I'll get a reply asap and get this thing fixed. Anyway, I don't really have anything else to post. I went around all of my fanlistings and cliques and made minor updates and I'm planning on making a wallpaper or two tonight for All My Love, but that's it. So yeah... off I go, wish me luck. ;)
Sunday, November 3, 2002
Thought: I want to be in a parking lot dancing with "Jay" to that Broadway song.
lmao Those of you who saw it will get it. ;) Obviously thought, it's just me being dumb as usual. ;) Haha. Anyway, work was interesting today. They had all of us there at the same time for half the day to get some so-called training in. It was heck! First off, everyone around there heard free subs and came a runnin' and all at the same time. Then, there were WAY too many of us behind the counter all at once. We do NOT have that kind of space. lmao I got the good deal out of it though. I was in the back the entire time! lmao I cut bread, washed dishes and did a few other things and the only sandwich I made was my own when it finally started to slow down. lmao The back was nice though. Well, except for the fact that it's REALLY small and it's like, the bump room. lol So called because you're going to end up hitting rumps with someone else while you're back there, it's just enevitable. lol I didn't have too much trouble with that though so that was good at least. ;)
After work I came home and it sucked so bad because my feed KILLED. Especially my right foot. And it was weird too because it wasn't just an achy pain, it was really sharp and right along my arch. I'm pretty sure it means that I need to get some new orthotics as soon as I get health insurance when I'm 18. lol They feel okay now though at least. :D I also did my meteorology homework and it was actually hard for once. lol We're talking about upper-level winds right now and the chapter questions in the book made like no sense at all. Oh well, at least we only get graded for having done it and tried. :) The only other thing I did was watch American Dreams and that was definately quite happy. :D Anyway, off I go. TTFN!
Saturday, November 2, 2002
I feel so mad special! lol I got an e-mail from this girl named Amanda and she was over at 4606.net reading some of my poetry and she really liked this one poem I wrote called Mystic Legend. So, she e-mailed me to ask me if she could use that as the name of her site and I'm all like, yeah, of course right? But guess what else she asked? She actually wants to put my poem up on her site! lmao I was kinda shocked. lol I mean, I don't think that's a bad poem or anything, but it kinda just came out one day in an interesting jumble and I wrote it down. lol I feel so special though. :D lol Anyway, I'll put the link up when she e-mails me and let's me know her site's online. lol I just can't get over it. Never would have thought someone would want to put on of my poems on their site or anything. lol
Guess what I did for something like two hours tonight? lol I was attempting to help Karah get form mail installed on the new CGI server over at Active and the stupid thing just would NOT work! lmao I did it just like I've always done it too and the scipt would be okay and the thank you page would show up after she submitted a test form, but she wouldn't get the e-mail. lmao It was so flipped up! Anyway, we finally gave up for the night and chatted about some things in between her computer kicking her off the net and such. lol Then Aki and Sam got online so I talked to them for a while too. Then I watched the last 45 minutes of Gladiator and I actually didn't cry this time. *laughs* I think it's because I was distracted with my mission to eat the entire bowl of popcorn, which I did by the way. lol I had no choice! I'm the only one up and I wanted some popcorn and I don't think it'd taste too good the day after, you know?
Humm... well, off I go to finish digesting the popcorn and then get to bed. Gotta get up for church early in the morning and then right after that it's off to work until who knows when! lol They haven't quite gotten down the part where they tell us when they're going to let us go home, but they're great at telling us when to get there. lmao Anyway, TTFN and g'night!
lol Well, instead of posting about yesterday... uh, yesterday, I decided to watch part one of Gladiator on TV. lol So anyway, yesterday right? After my one class I met up with Autumn and we drove over to the theatre and waited there for Andrew for a half an hour because we were WAY too early. lol After he got there, we went over to Taco Bell and ate real fast before the movie started(Santa Clause 2). They both said that they didn't like it very much, but I did. lol I like the dictator santa "toy." lmao We ended up standing out in the parking lot by my van for about 20 minutes before Andrew realized that his dad wasn't coming so I drove him just down the road to his Grandma's house where we stopped and talked for another 20 minutes or something about how he should really audition for American Idol 'cause he was going to for the first one, but didn't end up doing so. And, as usual, Autumn hardly said anything because she's afraid she'll say something dumb to him. lmao I say all sorts of dumb things! lol Then again, I don't have a thing for him like she does. ;)
After Andrew left, Autumn and I went to Target and I got some cheep after Halloween candy corn! lol YUMMY! I ate half the first bag on the way home last night though. lmao Basically that was the night except that I watched a bunch of TV and such when I got home and I'm probably going to watch the second part of Gladiator tonight. Oh, that and clean the bathtub. Oh joy. :p
This morning I got up and went to my new work(Georgio's Subs) for "training." The reason it's in quotes is because all we really learned how to do was make ice cream cones. lol I was one of the few that could actually do it right. I was very proud of myself. ;) Hehehe. Then we were informed of our schedules for the week and that we've all gotta show up tomorrow for a pre-opening thing where our families can come in and get free sandwiches so we can get some real training done. But anyway, after I was done there this morning, I went over to Andrea's to keep her company and make her feel better since she had her wisdom teeth pulled yesterday. We watched Lord Of The Rings. lmao She ALWAYS wants to watch that whenever she's over here or I go over there. Hopefully she'll get her own copy soon since she's so obsessed with it. lmao We also watched the bonus DVD off Now Or Never and she got a fairly good kick out of Nick's funny quarks as well. *giggles* I heart his light fixture thing as well as his jig that he dances. lol Quite entertaining. ;)
I got back home and my Amazon orders were on my placemat! SHEAH! lol So now I just have to spend something like $25 to order the copy of Now Or Never off of Amazon(unless I can find it somewhere else cheeper) with the bonus tracks. lol I hate it when they release different versions everywhere. Arg to them for jacking more of the money that I don't exactly have! lmao I've gotta get it though because I want to hear those two songs. lol
Oh, and I almost forgot! My mom told me last night that she'd find some way to deal with me taking that late night history class! :D That'll be nice because then I'll be completely done with all my required classes and therefore, done with high school! Woo! lol I don't have to take any classes in the spring, but I think I'm going to anyway because I don't want to pay tuition for them so it's good to take them now through this program and then have a whole lot of extra credits on my high school transcript. Right? ;) Humm... I should probably go and clean the bathtub now before my mom get's angry at me for not doing it. lol Bye!
