Well, Thursday I didn't end up having to wake up at 6:30 AM because my mom offered to carpool with me that day since she works out near my school on Thursdays. That was nice. :) And guess what we did after school... we went and got me THIS!!! It's a Nikon FM 10 and it is SOOOOOO happy! lol It's all manual which makes me excited because now I have to really learn how to use a camera properly! ;) lmao Anyway, I've like been taking that camera around everywhere with me since then! lmao
Yesterday Autumn came out to the school to meet me after my history class and we went and got pizza for lunch since I had a two hour break. It was good that she came because I got really ticked off at my history teacher right before that and I'm probably going to drop the class and try to pick up and online english class about science fiction or something since there's really nothing else to take that's not closed by now n' all. I still have to talk with my mom about it tomorrow though because she didn't sound too thrilled when I told her about it yesterday, you know? Anyway, after pizza, we went back to school for my last class and then Autumn and I went to turn in my application at Curves. We got there and realized that they weren't going to be back open for another half an hour, so what else were we to do besides go to the arcade?! lmao We played lots of ParaPara and a few games of DanceManiax and it was much fun. :) Then we went and turned in my application and they basically told me that there's not going to hire me, so yeah, screw that I guess. After that we came home and my Wussman Walking CD had come!!!! Woo!!! So, Autumn and I listed to that and laughed a bunch and then called back Andrea. She came and picked us up and we went to the mall to just walk around and do some window shopping and stuff. :) It was all much fun until my foot started to hurt and then I kept getting pissed because every store we went into only had clothes for skinny people! Gar. I mean, like, the biggest sizes these stores had were 7/8 or maybe a 9/10. I am NOT a zero people!!! lmao
Humm... let's see, after that, we got back and Autumn and I watched Crossroads because she owns it. It was all right. Not the worst movie I've ever seen, but dang, someone edit out all the underware scenes! lol Okay, so there's only two, but it's just annoying because I know the only reason they're in there is to make sick guys happy and as a woman, that kinda offends me. Maybe it's just me though. lol
Let's see, today Autumn and I really didn't do much. We did go into town for a bit to get my mom more culking stuff and pick up Autumn's schedule and paycheck from her work, but that wasn't much. Oh, and we went up to the lake so I could practice using my new camera and I went through my roll of film really quickly and I hadn't brought another one, so we left and came back to my house and made hamburger noodle bake. lol I think I ate too much of it though. It's hard not to really because it just tastes so good! lmao
So yeah, I think that just about covers everything. Or, at least I hope so. :) That's it for now. TTFN!

Stupid community college of mine! Gar! Okay, so I'm really not that ticked about it now(I'm terrible at staying angry at things), but still, it's so dumb! So yeah, like, supposedly the community college I'm going to is the second best in the nation and this quarter enrollment went up around 10%. So, what does that mean? It means parking is a beeyotch!!! I drove around ALL the parking lots for an HOUR this morning and missed my first class ENTIRELY! Then, when I finally did get a parking spot, I ended up being around 5 minutes late to my photo class and the door was locked. So, I started to walk away all aggitated when the teach. opened the door and was all like, "did we lock you out?" So yeah, then everyone got to stare at me and my funky looking bangs(they're being mean to me today) coming in late. That was fun. So, to solve the parking problem, I now have to start getting up at 6:30 AM and getting to school an hour early(btw, it takes me like an hour just to get there too). Man, this bites so much. I am SO not a morning person. As it is, I've got enough trouble getting up at 7:30 AM and now it's an hour earlier. Garg. Maybe parking will start to get better... *thinks that she'd better not get her hopes up*
Other than that, I just went to work today. I actually worked almost the whole time I was there though because there were like 15 things that needed to be shipped out and I had to take out the trashes. I think I forgot the one in the bathroom though... oops. Anyway, I should go and not spend too much time on the net. Should probably start reading my history book too, although I haven't decided if I will tonight yet. ;) lol That's probably what I'll spend my hour at school tomorrow morning doing... reading from the giant, boring, history book. Oh joy. lol TTFN!
Monday, September 23, 2002
Wow, umm... lol I was all excited to come online and write about my first day of classes and everything and then, well... lol It's quite funny really, even thought it just about startled me to death at the time and all. lmao Okay, so I got here(to work) and the door was locked because my boss had gone out to lunch. Now, I have a key and I have a code for the alarm, so I just opened the door and ran to the alarm to turn it off. I typed in the code and hit off. Then I realized that I was supposed to type in the code and hit stay, not off. lmao So, I did that and the alarm was still beeping. Then, the alarm decided to go off!! I freaked out. I was like running through the office going, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!" Anyway, the phone rang and it was a guy from JVC and he was standing right outside the door and wanted to know if he could come in to deliver a package(I'd forgotten that I had to unlock the door the rest of the way, lol). So, I let him in and after playing with the alarm for a bit, he got it cleared out, typed in the code and it turned off. YAY! lol And then, about a minute after that, my boss walked up. lol Wow... I am never doing that again. That all taught me to go slower when punching in the alarm code because I think I mixed up the last two numbers and that's why it wouldn't work for me. lol *smacks herself* Man, sometimes I just have stupid moments or something, you know? lol
Anyway, my classes. Well, history is history and unfortunately, I will have to read out of the books for it. The good news though is that my teacher seems nice and I don't have to bring the gigantic book to school with me! *dances* I'm not going to break my back after all! lol Then photo, photo will be BEYOND awesome! I am so excited, I mean, you have no idea! lol And it's so cool because I'm only going to have actual class two to three times a week! The other days are called lab and field days and it's just basically him giving us time to do our projects without having to figure out when we can and cannot stay after classes and such. :) I like that system. lol Oh, and my friend Elizabeth's in the photo class too! lol That was a neat surprise. :) Then let's see... I had an hour break after that because I only have archery on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I found some people and chatted with them for a while and then I ran into Andrew(dude from Aki and my movement class who went to see The Four Feathers with us) and talked to him for a while. Poor Andrew. It seems that his credit card never went through to pay his tuition so they dropped all of his classes and he just found out so now he's got to find new ones. He got two online ones, but he still wants two more 5 credit classes so I was telling him what classes I liked that I'd had to give him some ideas. Let's see, after that, I walked up and found my meteorology room and it's a good thing that I got their early because there's not enough seats in the room for everyone and a few of the late arrivals had to stand in the back. Bummer. It's going to be like that tomorrow too unless they get some more tables and chairs in there so I'm hoping I'll get out of archery a little early and get there in time to have a seat. Standing for an hour would not make my feet happy. lmao But yeah, meteorology seems like it will be cool and as long as I try hard in the class and do all my homework assignments, I should get an A. :) The homework stuff is nice too because all of it for the entire quarter is on the syllibus(sp?) that he gave us and he only grades it on whether or not it's completed so even if you get every answer wrong, but you tried all the questions, you still get the 10 points. :) Anyway, after that was coming to work and getting scared(I bet my other boss will give me a lecture on how not to set off the alarm when I come in on Wednesday) and that's all that's happened today, so yeah, I should probably see if there's anything around here for me to do besides wait for the phone to ring. TTFN!

Classes start tomorrow. Earlier I shoved all my books into my backpack and picked it up to see how heavy it was. It's pretty heavy. Not quite as terrible as I thought it would be, but it's still no picnic, ya know? Anyway, I need to actually get a good sleep tonight so, wish me luck for tomorrow and g'night. :)
Saturday, September 21, 2002
Well, yesterday I got up at a decent time, went to pick up Autumn and then her and I headed to the theater(after turning around half way there since she forgot her money, lmao). Andrew was the only one from our movement class who could come to the movie so it was just the three of us. We saw The Four Feathers and it was good. :) It was like a little slow going, but really good. After the movie we stood around and chatted for a while and then Andrew left and Autumn and I went to the arcade to play Dance Maniax and ParaPara! Woo! The only thing is, they were finally back down to 50 cents last time we were there and then we got their yesterday and they were back up to a dollar per game per player! Anyway, it was still much fun. :) We tried it faster than we ever had before... lol that was a bad idea! We're not going to do that again for a LONG time. lol ;)
After that, we drove over to Curves for Women because my aunt works at one in California and she was telling me about it so I decided to check it out. We went and got in there and this lady, the owner, had us try out some of the work out machines and she measured us, weighed us, and took our body fat percentages and everything before we joined and all. Well, all my stuff was bad, I knew it would be, but it just kinda sucked to have her tell me. lol Oh well, anyway, then we find out that they want frickin' $49 a month and there's a sign up/service fee of like $149!! They had a few discounts, but it's still insanely expensive and Autumn and I were all like, "Umm... no." lol I got an application though and if I get hired, then I'd get a free membership, otherwise there's no way that I could afford to work out at that place. That price is just insane!!! Anyway, onwards to the next thing.
Autumn and I got to my house and we watched some TV, then A Walk To Remember, then we watched The Video Hits - Chapter one and that was happy. :) Oh yeah, and we watched my old musical version of Cinderella. :D lol And we didn't really do much today before I dropped her off at work. I rented Black Hawk Down though so now I'm finally going to be able to see the whole thing!!! Wee! lol TTFN!
Thursday, September 19, 2002
Okay, wow, I've seriously been neglecting my posting here haven't I? I've been in an odd mood lately, that's my excuse. lol Anyway, this past Tuesday was the first day of dance and it was lots of fun! :D I've forgotten half the dance already though. ;) lmao I can do the whole thing, but our teacher kept having us do it to a seiously fast beat and Aki and I were in the back and we're all like, "Ahhh!!! Can't... move... fast enough!" Hehehe. It was lots of fun though. After that, Aki and I went and got slurpees and let me just tell you, never get a mix of sour watermelon and vanilla coke. lmao It's got this odd flavor to it. ;) lol
Other than that, I haven't really been doing much. Just work and sitting around at home. I'm still working on getting all my site stuff done that needs to be. I'm progressing though. :) I made some layouts in the past few days, so now I've just gotta get them coded and things and then wait for one of my servers to get its' problems fixed. lol
Man, my mom went and got my school books today... there's two history ones, two meterology ones, and one photography book. Together, they're DANG FRICKIN' heavy! I so hope I don't have to take them all with me to school every day... that'd really suck and I think I'd end up with back problems by the end of the quarter. The photography book looks way cool though and it even has stuff to do with photoshop in it!!! *dances* I am SO excited for that class!!!!
Tomorrow Aki and I are going to meet some people at the movies. :) We're gonna go see The Four Feathers. It looks really good, but they'd just better explain in the movie why the heck they named the movie that! lmao That should be much fun though. :) My mom got me some of those flavored honey in a tube things today too so I'm gonna bring those with me as my movie snack tomorrow. :D After the movie, we're probably gonna hit the arcade for a while so that'll be fun. :) Hopefully Aki and I won't be the only ones going there, but even if we are, nothing can get us down while we're playing Dance Maniax! lol Anyway, that's all for now. I've gotta make dinner tonight so I need to hurry up and get that started pretty soon. :) TTFN!
Saturday, September 14, 2002
Okay, okay, so I was bored again and there was that nice new pic of Nick calling out to me. lol I couldn't help it! It just had to be done so I could have something to do while I watch TV. lol
So, how was everyone's Friday the 13th? Mine was just the same as every other day. Nothing special or anything, you know? Kinda bummed about it, but oh well. ;) lol Now though, it's the big one... it's Saturday the 14th! lmao Has anyone else seen that old episode of All That where they made a big deal about it? Anyway, I thought it was funny. Then again, that was quite a few years ago. lol
All righty, I really had no other reason to post that to put up my little boredom graphic so I'm going to go watch Dinosaur since I taped it off of the Disney channel tonight. I've never seen it before. I hope it's good. :) Any hoo, g'night all and don't forget to check out my new blog with Sam over at m-b-d.com. :D
Friday, September 13, 2002
HA!!!! You know what I just realized... Happy Friday the 13th!!!!!! Hehehe. Sorry, just had to be one of the first in this time zone to blog the goodness! I don't know why everyone thinks this is an unlucky day though... the real bad day is Saturday the 14th if you ask me! roflmao *smacks herself* I know, I know, someone shut me up now. lol
All right, here I am posting again. Although, technically it's not the same day, but it still feels like it to me considering I haven't hit the sack yet. ;) So yeah, I've remembered at least one thing to post, but before I get to that, Sam and I launched our new blog together today(well, yesterday lol)! :) It's at must-be-dreaming.com so please go have a gander at it and post a comment or something. :)
Anyway, I thought dance was supposed to start on Tuesday night so I went and picked up Autumn and we drove all the way out there(like 45 min.). We got their early to turn in our registration and then we sat down to wait for the current class to end and ours to begin. Finally, we get in there and talk to the teacher and she tells us that our class doesn't start until this next week! And no one freakin' told us that before hand! Garg. So, Autumn and I decided that in order to make it so that the trip out there wasn't a total waste, we went by the arcade and played a few games before it closed and then we went and got some Taco Bell at like 9pm. lmao Autumn ended up coming back here with me to spend the night and so we had to watch Newsies. lol She's the only one who truly understands my fasination with that movie! lol Recently, I developed a think for Kid Blink(this studly Newsie with an eye patch) and then when I was online last night, I looked up some info on the guy who played him and found out that he's one of the guys from EYC! lmao It was SO funny. Well, it was to me anyway. ;) But yeah, I think Trey(the actor/EYC member) was way cuter in his younger years and you know, I find him much better looking with the eye patch than without it. lol All righty, that's it for me tonight. I think I'm going to watch Shreck(or at least part of it) before I go to bed. G'night!
Thursday, September 12, 2002
Okay, you know what REALLY sucks? I went and rented two movies yesterday, The Count of Monte Cristo and The Time Machine, and then when I was going to watch them last night, they both decided to have issues! First, I tried to watch Monte Cristo(which I got on VHS since there were no DVDs of it available) and all that it was was snow! There wasn't even any sound coming out of it or anything! Then, I put in Time Machine and I'm watching it and it's really good(hadn't see that one before) and then it gets to this intense part and skips! So, I take the disk out and wipe it off and then put it back in and it skips again in the same spot! Garg! There were these huge scratches all over it. :( STUPID people don't know how to handle disks and take care of them! It pisses me off! So, I had to go to sleep without finding out what happened and then drive into town this morning to get a new one of each of the movies. So, at least this time they both work. I finished Time Machine and it was good, but the ending made me angry. lol Now I'm at the family comp and watching Monte Cristo. I love this movie. Not nearly as much as Newsies or Stargate, but it's still good. ;) All righty, guess that's it for now. I'll post more later after the movie or something. :)
Monday, September 9, 2002
Well, Saturday sucked. Some people know why, but I won't post about it just yet for various reasons. Just trust me when I say it really sucked and that it still kinda sucks, but I'm dealing with it in a way where I'm just wanting to have it taken care of now kinda and so I've taken steps to do that.
Yesterday was fine. I just hung out at home after church and I got a lot of website stuff accomplished. :) I got the domain section of streeted.net done, so that's good. :) I've still got to do the rest of it though which constitues the majority of the information on the site. lol That's gonna take me a little while. Oh, and I also worked on the domain that Sam and I will be sharing. :) I've got the layout done and coded for it so all that's left now is to work on the small bit of content fot it and to install greymatter so, HOPEFULLY, it will be up tonight. :) Either that or we'll shoot for tomorrow. :)
Oh yeah, and the curse of my high school continues. It's depressing really. I was talking to Ani last night and she she told me that a sophmore girl died on Saturday. (Note: That's not why Saturday sucked for me, but it definately adds to the suckiness of that day.) What's that have to do with any curses? Well, every year for the past... I don't even know how many years, some kid from the high school has died. One year a boy was hit by a car at night and the car was speeding and didn't have their headlights on; killed him instantly. Another year two girls were murdered and their mother was too. The youngest girl lived through it, but she had to watch her step father kill them and just got away. My last year there(my sophmore year), three girls were driving home from youth group and went off the road and down the side of the mountain. Two died, one was very blessed and lived through it. Those are just three incedents and every year, save maybe a few that I don't know about, this happens. I remember coming to school the day after the car crash with the three girls. The bus pulled up and half of us were all like, "Hey, what's a news crew doing here?" Then I remember walking into the school... you can just feel it, every time, there's this eerie feeling that hits you. And honestly, I'm so glad that it's never been anyone that I've known and I pray it never is.

Kriss makes a good point... why don't people sign my guestbook? If you can't see that as a subtle hint, let me make it more clear for you. PLEASE SIGN MY GUESTBOOK!!!! It would make me VERY happy. :)
I was productive today. :) You can check what I did here. One of the things was a new layout. I like it, but I don't know... I have a feeling that it'll only be up until I can make something nicer. I need to continue with this productive streak, but I'm hungry and mint chocolate chip ice cream sounds really good and then I'm going to watch a movie and I got almost no sleep last night, so I think that's it for today and I will have to continue on tomorrow. Hopefully Sam will be on at the same time as me tomorrow too 'cause I need to see what she thinks of a layout I made for our upcoming blog. Oh, and that reminds me, I did make a new layout for i-y-k.com(even though I LOVE the current one), but I'm not sure if that'll even go up. It looks nice and all, but it didn't turn out at all like I had hoped and that just kinda bums me out.
Yesterday I went and picked up Autumn and then we went down to the mall to find me a job and shop a bit. I got these really cute stickers, but no job. I decided that I didn't want to work at any of the places down there because the only good places there to work, won't hire me. lmao Just my luck, but oh well. Anyway, I forget pretty much everything else we did yesterday except that we watched the Zorro marathon on Disney until almost 4am. lmao We're stupid. lol But yeah, then we got up around 8am this morning and got ready and went down to the high school during the lunch hours to visit some of our friends and that was cool I guess. lol I guess meaning that it was nice to see everyone, but it was beyond weird to be down there for both me and Autumn. So, after that we went to the arcade and played a whole bunch of games. My arms feel okay right now, but tomorrow morning might be a whole other story. It sucked though 'cause the games aren't 50% off anymore so DDR and ParaPara and all those games were back up to a dollar. :( Oh well, they're still fun, even if they cost more. ;)
So yeah, that's pretty much been the full extent of my day so far and a bit about what's going to happen now that I'm finished blogging. lol I'm hoping that tomorrow I'll be able to work on a bunch of site stuff and maybe get a big chunk of what needs to be done for streeted.net done. That would be VERY good. I have GOT to get that site back up before the quarter starts. I just have to. Anyhoo, that's it for now, I bid you all farewell for the night.
Wednesday, September 4, 2002
Okay, I admit it, I watched the last episode of American Idol tonight. Okay, okay, so I've watched like two or three other episodes too, but you know. ;) lol Anyway, I must say that I'm glad Kelly won. If I'd have voted, I'd have voted for her. She's got an AWESOME vioce! I mean, dang, the chick can sing. lmao It was so funny though when it hit the end and they were talking about how they're going to do it again, my parents were all like, "So Holly, are you going to go try out?" lmao Oh yeah, like I'm going to go and have them make fun of me? No, I don't think so. lol I've never even had voice lessons... I couldn't do it. I mean, sure, I can sing, but I don't know HOW to sing. Not the way I'd need to to get onto that show anyway. lol
Dang, I am LOVING Aaron Carter's new CD! I went out and got it right away yesterday. :) It kicks so much arse! lol My favorite song on it is the bonus track and well, I don't know what it's called. lol It's all groovin' though! *sings* You need some sugar... you're only human baby! lmao Yeah, it's probably the most "suggestive" song on the album, but it just makes me wanna get up and dance. lol
Speaking of dance... I'm so excited! Lessons start again this coming week and Autumn's gonna take hip-hop with me!!! Woo! *dances* Humm... can you tell I like to dance? lmao We still have to go register, but I'm thinking we'll probably be able to do that tomorrow. It sucks though because I have to drive us all the way out there just to register. I tried to have them fax me the form, but our fax machine is mean and it squashed it all together so you can't even write on it and can barely read it. Garg. lol Oh well, we'll just have to stop by the arcade on the way back to make it worth it. ;) Dance Maniax, here I come!!! lmao I think I have an addiction to that game...
Well, guess that's it for tonight. I will leave you with the following... *sings and pretends she's playing the drums while bobbing her head* I'm gonna run foreva, say whateva, take a chance in... what I believe in. I'm gonna have a TATTOO, I'm gonna have an ATTITUDE!!!!!!!! *thinks for a moment* Humm... maybe I should audition for the next American Idol... lmao It would sure provide an interesting blog entry for that day, that's for sure. ;) lmao
Monday, September 2, 2002
Well, so much for me having a productive night last night and a productive day today. lmao I just kinda did nothing. lol I did work on some layouts yesterday for a while, but I didn't do enough to show my efforts off on the web. lol And today, well, I went down in town to the sales at the outlet mall and I was all excited because I was going to get these really cute pants from Old Navy that I've had my eye on for a while, but when I got down there they didn't have my size!!! All they had was extra small, small, and extra large. All I wanted was a medium! lol Dang them. Oh well, hopefully I'll find some other cute workout pants somewhere else. I'm hoping to get some before dance starts back up next week. :) I've even convinced Autumn to take hip hop with me!!!! *dances* She's still gotta beg her parents to let her, but I'm hoping that they will. :)
Oh yeah, and my parents bought a new computer today! I'm on it right now. :) It's nicer than mine is. lmao I'm SO glad they finally got a new comp for out here in the family room. That's the one thing I'd really been missing... no watching TV while I was on the net 'cause there's no TV in my room. lol Technically there could be if I really wanted though considering that the TV that's out here is mine, and so is th DVD player! lmao Now I just need to get my laptop...
Anyway, that's it for me tonight. I think I should probably get to bed sometime soon since I've gotta work tomorrow. Still, I could go to be at 2am and still get my 8 hours of sleep, but I'm pretty sure I need a lot more than that. lmao Maybe I'm growing again... That'd be good! I mean, considering I'd like to be 6 foot and I'm only at 5'7" right now. lmao Wish me luck! ;) G'night!
Sunday, September 1, 2002
Oww... pain in arms... ow! Aww, man, that's what I get for being addicted to Dance Maniax and ParaPara. Ohh... See, I went with Ani and Aki out to play lazer tag and arcade games at the local place last night because everything was half off, but then I think I played too much, as usual, and now my upper arms hurt like heck. I need to start working out on a regular basis so that I don't rip my arm muscles to shreds next time I'm at the arcade. lmao Oww...
As for today, it currently bites. lol I got to sleep in because I guess my parents decided we weren't going to go to church today, so that was kinda good for me since I didn't get to sleep till after midnight. However, when I woke up, I discovered that the water's been turned off so my parents can replace some parts and things. Oy, now that means that if I need to use the bathroom I'm going to have to call up a neighbor and see if I can go use their's or something! lmao That'll be great. ;) Hopefully it'll get turned back on pretty soon though. As soon as it does, I've gotta pop into the shower and then my parents are going to rip up the rest of the bathroom floor in there and put new lanolium(sp?) down. Glad I'm not the one that has to do that. lol ;)
Oh, and a little reminder for everyone to please check out my little updates site because I made a new layout for one of my sites yesterday and I'll probably be making one or two today and maybe some tomorrow too. :) Just thought I'd remind you all. :)
