oh boy. watching Newsies everytime i work is starting to permanently imprint the songs into my mind. not that i care, seeing that Newsies is one of the best musicals EVER.
just a quick blog to say that i am officially going to flunk my midterm tomorrow. i hate myself for procrastinating. why do i do it? why?? why cant i study like a week in advance. oh well. i guess if i did, i just wouldnt be me.

More cowbell
HOORAY FOR:
stacy hiring four new guys

one of the boys stacy hired being engaged. damn happy couples. dont you see it's futile? trust me, you'll see it one day.
midterm on friday- and i havent read anything all week. i should be doing that tonight...because i have to work all night tomorrow.....but will i? hmm. probably not. i am the definition of procrastination.

Long one
oh im so excited to get my internet back. now i just have to get a phone and im good to go. so where do i begin? it's been quite a while. hmmm. i dont have a very good long-term memory, so i cant go back very far.
work is good. except beth is leaving. and that sucks. but i dont blame her. im going to start looking for a second job, because im just not working enough to pay the bills. stacy hired a new guy, and he took my hours for this weekend AND next week.
friday night i went out with tina, julie, julie's cousin, mike, and one of his friends. it was fun. we started out at pepe's, where no one spoke english. they seated us in the party room, and we were there probably a half hour without a waitress EVER coming to our table. we kept asking the busboys and waitresses if we could have a WAITRESS, and they thought we were saying could we have more CHIPS. so they brought us a bowl of chips every time.
i have to work tonight. blaaaaah.

A blog in my absence....
so i am sitting in the computer "lab" at copper creek. we get passes so that we can come into the lab or gym whenever we feel like it. it's awesome with the gym, which is actually just a small weight room with one treadmill, but it has a big tv. i've been going in there late at night, which is cool cuz no one is in there and i feel like it's my own private home gym!
and the computer "lab" isnt really a "lab". it's 2 computers in a room with a fireplace, big screen tv, kitchen table, and sink that is oddly reminiscent of a high school chemistry lab sink. i dont quite understand the logic behind this room...but im guessing they're going for the homey/schooly/officey feel.
and i do believe i am the only person in this wide world we call copper creek that even USES the facilities here. well, the lab is connected to the laundry room (which i have yet to use...im frightened of the laundro-matedness of it), and there are often weird people in there. but late at night when i come here to check my email or something, im always alone. sometimes it gets a bit horror movie'ish, but i ignore that feeling.

Crimson and clover......over and over
whew! tonight ended up being quite frightening! for those of you in evansville, you know about the weather we just had. i had no idea it was coming. it just happened. i was about to walk out the front door, and all of a sudden the power goes out, it gets so windy i think the trees are gonna snap in half, and the rain is blowing like a freakin monsoon!
so i just kind of stand there in my apartment. it's pitch black. i dont have any candles because i packed today to move and practically everything i own is in my car in bags. i dont have a flashlight. what's a girl to do??? i stood there debating what to do, all the while wondering if there was a tornado coming that i didnt know about. then it hit me. but of course!! the shower radio!!!
so i felt my way to the bathroom and found my handy dandy shower radio (which i knew would come in handy one day). it's not JUST for showers. i sat on my living room couch and listened to the radio. it was quite creepy. i looooove storms to death, but being alone in one without electricity is B-O-R-I-N-G. so needless to say, i was a very happy girl when Randy and Shnoz came knocking on my door. (I sound mean when i call her Shnoz, but i can never remember her name. and she honestly has a huge nose. so that's just what katie and i call her. but not to her face of course)
ok, so it was pitch black when i opened my door after he knocked, and i couldnt see who was there when i opened it, but i just knew it would be randy. and then i heard his big voice say "oooh girl, you be trippin. i knew you be trippin." hahaha. ohhh randy. i'll miss that kid when i move tuesday.
so randy and shnoz came in and kept me company for a little while. he brought down a candle. we were going to tell ghost stories, but none of us could think of any. and then randy had to scare me and tell me that we might not get our electricity back until tomorrow. and that would not be cool since tomorrow is my birthday!!
anyways, they left to go to her mom's house since she had electricity. (he left his candle by the way. i just might have to steal that thing. it's multi-layerd and multi-scented. score!) and i decided to lay down on the couch and listen to the storm. i must have been exhausted because i dont even recall falling asleep. when i opened my eyes, the lights were on, i heard Aileen's voice coming from my bedroom (yes, beth, i rented the other Aileen documentary tonight), and about 2 hours had passed.
and now here i am. im going to watch the movies i rented. in less than an hour i will officially be 21 and of legal drinking age. and i will officially have nothing to look forward to anymore. so i am officially bummed. oh well. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

Just give me bed
i am soooo exhausted. i worked almost 11 hours today.... and im pretty sure i broke my nose. beth thinks that is funny and that i couldnt have possibly broken it, but we agree that it is injured. she told me it looks bigger. it also has some mild bruising and it hurts to touch it.
im not even going to get INTO the rest of the night, because that will just make me aaaaaangry.
so im moving on tuesday and i still havent packed. gotta work tomorrow til 5, so perhaps i'll pack after that. i know i wont get anything done on monday, cuz that's my birthday. which maybe im not as excited about anymore, because i just realized tonight that after my birthday, i will have nothing to look forward to. what am i going to count down to now? uhhhhhhhh.......nothing. what will i have to look forward to??class....work......more class? that sucks.
kind of a short blog. but i need to go to bed. like now.

Away from the sun again....
i kinda started to go through all my stuff to start packing today, but i got bored. so i quit. maybe later i'll try again. i dont have any boxes though so im just going to put everything in trash bags. my mom informed me that she's coming bright and early on tuesday. thank God for matt and keith, who seem to be all into the whole helping people move thing. things should go a lot quicker that way. oh, but i still wont have a couch or table for the livingroom. so i'm going to be living all japanese-like for a while...or is it chinese? i dont know. whichever one it is where they sit on the floor and stuff.
i skipped my class this morning. i wish i hadnt. i think im gonna get in trouble now. dr. darrell does not take absences well. but i was absolutely exhausted and deprived of sleep. and i was having such a good dream, i didnt want to wake up! oh and today when i came home, my face was itching, so i went to scratch it, and i felt something on my hand. I looked down.....and what do you think was on it???
uhhhhhh YA. a freakin SPIDER. a SPIDER was on my face. how does that happen exactly????? did it like jump onto my face off a wall or something? all i did was walk from my car into my apartment. now....i think i've stressed enough how incredibly phobic i am of bugs. let's just say i screamed at the top of my lungs and randy thought i was being murdered. he actually came downstairs to make sure i was alive. then i had him kill the spider for me. it was the most traumatic experience of my entire life, im pretty sure. well maybe the second or third most traumatic.
well i could ramble on forever. i wont do that to you. i think im gonna do some laundry now. perhaps do some packing. perhaps not. im definitely gonna run later...havent been able to go the past 2 days. although when i run it feels like my shins and ankles are being obliterated with a sledge hammer. it kind of feels like in the movie "Misery"...when Kathy Bates breaks that guy's legs. kinda like that. but i cant afford new shoes. so i'll just suffer.

ummmm cant wait for my birthday...
and now, some things that make me happy:
-knowing you have people that are always there for you despite the past
-realizing how great of friends you have
-rekindled relationships (friendships...)
-Carb-smart fudge bars (only 3 grams of carbs)
-getting an A on Dr. Darrells midterm (yes, yes i did)
-thunderstorms (but not when they interfere with American Idol...or running)
and the not so cool things:
-living alone
-being poor and in debt
-Bethy quitting Hollywood soon(and just about everyone else)
-Erica moving to L.A.

Randomness
not much to say...i was irritated tonight because FOX wasnt working and i didnt get to see American Idol. that just might ruin my week. and i wont get to see the finale tomorrow either cuz i have to work. booooo.
i really hate when stupid people who you've told you dont want to associate with anymore decide to just come slithering back in uninvited. uhhhhh i hate you. get over it.
im stressed. i dont even want to talk about it because i'll just get stressed more. so let's talk about some positive things.
my birthday is coming up. and that is a VERY positive thing...mainly for 2 reasons:
1. i will no longer be the friend who "ruins" it for everyone else...(i.e. 'We can't go there...Linda isn't 21.')
2. i will finally be able to get a new license...and i will no longer be laughed at because of the lame-o picture that i took at 16.
im also so excited about the new apartment. i know i've discussed this multiple times before...but for real, it will be soooo nice to get a change of scenery and a new atmosphere. it will be so refreshing!! it's going to be so great to get out of this ghetto-fabulous apartment in golden towers.
i have my midterm tomorrow...and i've studied a total of about ummmmm 30 minutes for it. i cant concentrate and im so tired today all i want to do is go to sleep. i think im going to go to bed early. im really nervous about the test, but i cant even stay awake right now.....

Feeling all inspired and whatnot
ok, so i just read emily's blog, and it totally made me cheer up. thank you emily. it just made me realize there are so many things in life to smile about, and i complain way too much! for real, life is good. i dont care what is happening or how bad things suck...it's good anyway! and thank you emily for pointing that out. and im so happy my laugh can brighten your day...because most people find it annoying. hahaha.
so being all inspired and such, i decided to make my very own list of things that just plain make me happy, or can turn a bad day around:
emily's laugh. true, i cant hear it on IM, but i can imagine it. especially since we grew up together and were best friends for so long, i can actually imagine what kind of laugh she is doing at what time.
pepsi
days where i dont have to go out in public and therefore dont have to blowdry my hair. (because, lets face it girls, blowdrying your hair is just about the most annoying thing we have to do. and if i dont blowdry my hair, it turns all 80's wavy on me.)
the color pink
looking at pictures of my niece
laughing with my sister
conan o'brien....i can just look at him and it makes me laugh
getting random electronic greeting cards from people you havent talked to in a long time :)
comfy nightgowns
being absolutely fed up with randy's noise upstairs...but loving the kid anyway cuz he would do just about anything for me and kate!
well..i suppose i should hit the sack. i gotta recite some stuff tomorrow. im nervous about it cuz just when i think i have it memorized, i take a break and then when i go back to it, i forgot it...and it has to be perfect. yikes. hopefully it will go ok. goodnight!!!!

ADD
i would do just about anything to distract myself from studying right now. what is wrong with me? i cant concentrate on anything for longer than 2 seconds. tomorrow morning i have to recite shakespeare to dr. darrell, "letter perfect and with perfect tone and pace." and i have about 5 lines memorized. i suck! i hate dr. darrell.
so since im so bored and i dont feel like studying, im going to ramble about absolutely nothing.
last night im pretty sure there was a brown recluse in my room, which is a poisonous spider found down here in southern indiana.
brown recluse
and there is a picture of it for your personal enjoyment. i cant even look at this picture without hyperventilating. im pretty sure this was the same kind of spider that was in my room. it was not cool. i didnt want to smoosh it because im incapable of doing that, so i got a can of lysol and sprayed it until it ran away, into the hall and underneath the closet door. then i continued to spray underneath the crack of the door for about 10 minutes until the can was nearly empty. i really hope i poisoned it. or at least drowned it. i just hope it's not extra angry now and now it's going to come attack me in my sleep. im so scared.
i refuse to walk barefoot anywhere in my apartment now. i wear my big wooden sandals from american eagle that look like desert-walker shoes. i chose these shoes as my spider-safe shoes because i dont think the spider would be able to penetrate through all that wood with it's fangs. i look like a dutch clown with those things on around here, but i dont care dammit! i cant wait to get out of this crappy apartment and into our new one in copper creek!!! only 6 more days!!
ok so maybe i dont have as much to talk about right now as i originally thought. i hope it doesnt storm tonight because i really need to run. but i think it's going to. darn it.

"No. You dont get to tell me what to do...ever again."
hmm. not much to talk about i suppose. i havent been up to anything very exciting. but is that surprising?? living alone thoroughly BLOWS. i miss katie. :( i miss our talks at 3 a.m. when neither one of us can sleep and we just sit around and talk about stupid things. and i miss spying on randy with her..and listening to avery and his girlfriend fight next door by putting our ears to the wall with cups. haha. i wish this summer would go by faster!!!
ummm. the diet is over. i quit. is that surprising?? no. it just got so old and so impossible! it's really hard to live your life for long without carbs! i missed my bread! it's no fun eating a sandwich with no bread. cuz that's just like...eating lunch meat. and fat free lunch meat at that. no thank you! i guess since im running, ive been informed that its not healthy to run a lot and not have carbs in your system, because your body feeds off the carbs. so i was probably doing more damage than good anyway. and im still running everyday. well except saturday i didnt run cuz i went out. and tonight i dont THINK im going to run.....unless i get done with my homework quickly and feel like going. we'll see.
ya, i found a new route. friday night i went out down st. joes and around the golf course. i went at like 2 in the morning..and im pretty sure i was the only college kid out at that time that WASNT drunk. not too smart of me, i dont think, to run on a friday night down a semi-busy street at 2 in the morning with a bunch of drunk guys out. haha. wasnt very pleasant. i dont think i'll go that way on a weekend again. i'll stick to the seclusion of a side street.
anyways, enough rambling from me. i have a lot of stupid homework to do. goodnight!

Owwwww
yesterday was an eventful day i suppose. stupid class, then came home and watched the last samurai which was ok, but overrated i think. randy came down somewhere in the middle of that movie and had to use my computer. i had to type another paper for him..which took ummmm forever.
then went out to dinner with the boys for keith's bday, came home and couldnt concentrate on my studies so i decided to run first. ya and i changed my route yet AGAIN. i've been told over and over how dangerous it is to run down Golfmoor road alone at night, so last night i was kind of feeling weird about it...so i decided to drive through it once to make sure no one was lurking in the trees ready to strike.
well it's a good thing i did that, because parked in front of the pond were 3 pick-up trucks with guys sitting in them. just sitting there. uhhhh ya that would have freaked me out if i had come across THAT while running...since it's absolutely pitch black back there.
so i just ran up and down harmony way instead. started out at golfmoor and harmony way and ran down to some auto repair shop i have no idea where i was. then back again. not nearly as pretty as golfmoor road...but safer i admit.
and i do believe i have a serious problem going on with my feet and ankles. the tops of my feet are bruised, and my ankles are swollen, and my ankle bones are just one big bruise. owwwwww. and my arches are constantly hurting and tingling. im in pain. randy says i should fill my sink up with ice and stick my feet in there. but i think he forgot that im NOT 6'9 like him....i think that would be kind of difficult for me.
so i'll have to find another way. i guess i need new shoes, but i dont have money for that. so i'll just suffer i guess. i hope i dont permanently damage myself!
well...i was going to take a nap but i dont think i feel like it anymore. i need to get some stuff done....and then rent Shrek for Randy....ya...Randy and Shrek dont seem like they would mix very well, but he wants it.

so i just ran up and down harmony way instead. started out at golfmoor and harmony way and ran down to some auto repair shop i have no idea where i was. then back again. not nearly as pretty as golfmoor road...but safer i admit.
and i do believe i have a serious problem going on with my feet and ankles. the tops of my feet are bruised, and my ankles are swollen, and my ankle bones are just one big bruise. owwwwww. and my arches are constantly hurting and tingling. im in pain. randy says i should fill my sink up with ice and stick my feet in there. but i think he forgot that im NOT 6'9 like him....i think that would be kind of difficult for me.
so i'll have to find another way. i guess i need new shoes, but i dont have money for that. so i'll just suffer i guess. i hope i dont permanently damage myself!
well...i was going to take a nap but i dont think i feel like it anymore. i need to get some stuff done....and then rent Shrek for Randy....ya...Randy and Shrek dont seem like they would mix very well, but he wants it.

Blaaaah
not much of an interesting day. woke up kind of late, which seems to be turning into a regular thing. for some reason i dont hear my alarm anymore. it kind of becomes incorporated into my dream...in the form of a car horn or someone blowing a whistle or something. then when i finally wake up, it's about 20 minutes to 10, and i have to leave by quarter to....so let's just say i dont look very cute in the morning...EVER.
anyways, went to class..got out about 10 minutes early cuz we got through the stupid green knight a little quicker than expected. i usually go to the library after class to read, but i didnt feel like it today....which could be dangerous. i need to make sure i stick to my routine and dont start slacking off, which usually happens every semester. im determined to get an A and shove it right in Dr. Darrell's face.
so i came home...cooked some lunch..read a little Chaucer which sucks....didnt finish it which is not cool because we are discussing it tomorrow. :( then i was exhausted and layed down for a little while, ended up falling asleep while watching Willy Wonka..good thing i woke up on my own because i had to work at 5!
so i went to work at 5, got home around 12:30. i wasnt going to run tonight because my feet were hurting and i was just feeling blah...so i put on my pajamas. and then i was sitting here thinking and i realized that if i DIDNT run tonight, i would end up feeling guilty about it later. so i got changed again and went out at about 1 a.m. to run. found a new place by the way. no more scary burdette. although this new way is much much darker. i go from Helfrich park middle school down Golfmoor road up to Harmony way. tonight i did 2 laps...about 2 miles.
my ankles are so swollen right now i can barely walk on them. they hurt really bad. i think i have bad shoes. also, my shins are starting to bruise...which shouldnt be a surprise to me, since i believe i am the easiest person in the world to bruise.
missed american idol tonight. dang. i wish i had a vcr so i could have taped it! oh well. i hope diana did well!
not much else to say...happy bday keith! that is all! goodnight!

New room+ No Randy upstairs= More sleep for Linda
Nothing terribly exciting to report. let's do a rundown of my day. better yet, let's start with last night: (tuesday night)
so i know now for a fact that i am physically and mentally incapable of falling asleep before 4 a.m. i dont know what it is. i dont nap during the day. i wake up around quarter to 9, or 9 o'clock. so why am i not tired at a decent hour? i dont know. right now, my body is tired. my eyes are a little tired. but my brain is wide awake! well i've digressed. that is beside the point.
so last night im laying in bed trying to fall asleep. its about 3:30'ish. im just starting to drift off into a nice little dream, and all of a sudden.....RANDY comes home. leave it to randy to screw it all up for me! i mean, i love the kid, but living underneath his bedroom is pure hell.
so he comes home. i know this, because he stomps around his room and the floors squeak and groan and it sounds like a 400 pound man is up there walking around. and then he turns on his music. of course. he does this every night. and its freakin loud and annoying. because of course it's rap, and of course the bass is allllll the way up. so all i hear is the faint sound of someone rapping, and then a very loud buuuuum bum bum. buuuuuum bum bum. buuuuuum bum bum. buuuuuuum bum bum. OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER. i dont know if anyone out there has ever lived underneath someone who listens to their music very loudly until about 5 a.m., but let me tell you its annoying as hell. and impossible to sleep to.
and then he starts dropping stuff on the floor. and stomping. and dropping.
so i decide to sleep in katie's room.
so i yank all the covers and bedding off my bed and go into katie's old room and set up my bed. then of course i have to bring my little pink lamp for some light in there because there are no overhead lights. and then i have to bring in my alarm clock to wake up in the morning....so i end up bringing in a lot of stuff.
so this is why tonight i decided i should just move my entire room into katie's old room. never again will i have to complain about randy and his music. or randy and his...walking. because now im living underneath SCOTT. please scott, dont own a stereo or walk....well he is a much smaller guy so i dont think the floors will squeak.
ok so basically today i woke up (late), went to my wonderful class with dr. darrell, went to the library to read for a couple hours..came home, cooked some lunch, went to work from 3-9, came home, vacuumed, moved my room into katie's, went and ran at burdette, talked to katie online for the first time since she left...i miss her!!!, and now here i sit. i have a quiz tomorrow in class so i should study now. oh and i rented Igby Goes Down tonight. but i guess i'll have to watch it tomorrow. i wont have time tonight. man, the perks of working at a video store! im such a movie geek and now i get free rentals! i love it!!!!
well, goodnight!!!

Running.....and I LIKE it?????
Yes, I've changed the template of my blog AGAIN. i do love pink, and i was very excited to have a pink blog, but i must admit that template was very boring. this one is just so much more fun. if it were pink, that would be extra cool. i guess i could somehow figure out how to make it pink if i could figure out all those codes and stuff, but im not that big of a computer geek.
i just want to start out by saying that this is day number 5 of my diet/exercise plan and i am now down 5 pounds. looks like the trend is a pound a day. now all i have to do is quit drinking pop, i think that is hurting me.
ANYWAYS. tonight when i went out to the river to run, there were waaaaay too many people down there. like families and stuff walking their dogs, and old people walking and stuff. i think it's because i went earlier than usual tonight. so i decided to drive out to Burdette Park and run instead.
Now, for those of you who do not live in Evansville, Burdette Park is kinda like a Lemon Lake type deal, but a little smaller i think. a little more park, a little less nature. and it's incredibly dark at night. i pulled into the park and followed one of the many roads and ended up parking by the tennis courts.
now, i've only been to burdette park once before, with katie, and we did not venture out into the trails or anything. i had no idea where i was and i was the only person there. and it was pitch black. im not the kind of girl that scares easily, and i really dont have common sense so it never really occurred to me before i started running that i shouldnt run through the woods alone at night. but it DID occur to me AFTER i started running.
so im running up one of the little black paved paths through the trees, and i suddenly realize that im running on this path completely alone, in the dark, with trees on both sides of me. this is where the texas chainsaw massacre/sleepaway camp/friday the 13th movie clips start playing in my head. Enter the sound of ducks squawking which sounds like a chainsaw, and you've got one scared girl. i was surprised by my fear. im kind of known amongst my friends as the girl that does not get scared. and i was scared.
it didnt help that along the way, there were these creepy little log cabins on the sides of the road that were dark and very Blair Witch-like. and then when i ran past them, the echo of my footsteps made it sound like someone was knocking on the door or something.
and then, when i was ready to go back to my car, i got lost. dont ask me how. im dumb. but i couldnt find my car. i swear i tried every path and every road in the park and none of them led to my car. so then i started to panic. what if i was stuck out here all night because i was too stupid to figure out how to get back to my car??? to make matters worse, i saw a man walking in the distance. true, he was probably doing some exercising just like me, but when you're alone in a wooded area in the dark and you swear you're in some bad, trippy dream and Freddy Kreuger has hidden your car...you begin to panic.
well after much swearing and running through grass and up and down hills to find different paths, i found my car. so i guess Freddy DIDNT hide it from me.
although i was creeped out the entire time, i think im going to run at burdette from now on instead of the river. being scared helped me to keep going, because i didnt want to stop in the trees. some may say it's unsafe to run there alone at night, but honestly, what kind of person is actually going to camp out in the woods at burdette park waiting for the chance that some girl might ACTUALLY come running through one night. not very likely.
so yes, burdette park it is. im so excited. and can it be true that i actually ENJOY running???? yes, yes i do. linda likes running. when did this happen? i dont know. but i hope it doesnt stop!

Linda needs therapy.
i know i've discussed my issues with bugs before....but i really need to say again that i seriously think i have a problem.
i was about to go to bed, and noticed an earwig crawling on my wall above my computer. my heart stopped immediately. i stood there for about 5 minutes, just watching it crawl.....and stop...and crawl around some more...and stop. i didnt know what to do. normally, i would ask katie to kill it for me. but she was out tonight.
this left me with a dilemma. i could just not kill the bug (my preference), but that would leave me sleeping in a room with a bug in it. knowing there's a bug crawling on my wall would seriously freak me out and leave me anxious and unable to sleep. i just know i'd be thinking about how far along the wall he's gotten, and whether or not he's near me. ewwww.
i thought perhaps i could just sleep in the living room and therefore avoid the bug all together...but that would leave me with the problem of knowing there's a bug lurking in my room somewhere the following day. plus, i'd have to find somewhere to plug in my alarm clock...and the couches suck.
so...that leaves me with the choice of killing the bug......which i just DONT do. i cant even step on bugs on purpose. it seriously makes me hyperventilate. so.....i stood there for the longest time just thinking about what to do. how should i kill it?? i certainly couldnt squish it with toilet paper. that would mean i'd have to put my hand near it. and the thought of having any part of my body anywhere near a bug nearly gives me a heart attack. (you think im joking, but my heart is still racing from this experience.)
so i cant squish it with toilet paper. this leaves me with the option of hurling an object at the bug. this presents a problem because what if the object misses the bug? (i have really bad aim due to my total lack of athletic ability.) then, i would have a live and angry bug falling to the floor and probably crawling straight to me, so it can run up my body and into my hair..........(these are honestly the things i think of).
so now i know i need to squish the bug with something that offers a little more accuracy than throwing something at it, and a little more safety than actually placing my hand ON the bug. so about 15 minutes later.....i decide to go with the flip flop. an old pink flip flop that's dirty and i dont wear anymore.
with the whole shoe thing, at least i can stand a good distance away, and i dont actually have to use my hand to kill it....i can just hold the very edge of the shoe and sort of swing it....there will be no physical contact with the bug.
so...i walk up toward the wall. my heart is pounding so hard i can hear it. i swing the shoe. and immediately run to the other side of the room. im breathing heavily. im scared to death. and i MISSED the bug.
so i walk up to it again. swing again. miss again. (ya, apparantly my lack of athletic ability extends to the art of hitting something with a shoe).
after much running back and forth across the room and after many many failed attempts to hit the bug......i finally got it. it landed on my green shelf that i have above my computer (IKEA).
what would any other normal person do next in this situation? (but i think we've established this whole thing isnt normal). they would probably pick up the bug with tissue and throw it away. not me.
as soon as the bug fell dead, i ran out of my room, into the living room, through my front door, and out the door of my apartment building. i then threw the shoe into the parking lot, shook my arm a little bit to make sure i had no bug remains on me, then returned to my room to make sure the bug was still dead.
it was. and now here i sit. i cant bring myself to pick up the dead bug or even wipe it away with something, cuz that would mean semi-touching it. and i just cant do that. this experience nearly killed me as it is. so im going to wait until tomorrow, maybe katie will get rid of it for me. she understands my bug problem.
so.......now you've seen an example of my psycho-ness. i swear it's just with bugs though!! im really a normal person! i just dont understand it at all. i seriously cant breathe when i have to kill a bug. i need therapy. like......for real. i need therapy. i cant imagine if i were on one of those shows where you have to do stunts or something and i had to sit in a tub full of bugs or let bugs crawl on me.....oh my god. it would kill me. it would seriously seriously KILL me.
well now that i've shared how completely insane i am.....time for bed. big day tomorrow. not looking forward to it. blaaaah... goodnight!

I love stale boyfriend
USI's mascot is the eagle. I just found out that our rowing team is called the "Seagles." ohhh boy. that's a clever little pun. i'd love to shake the hand of the man that came up with that one.
good news! i found out that my vacuum cleaner was NOT stolen by reggie. yay!! i happened to run into the one and only "J black" today, and he informed me that HE has it. apparently reggie gave it to him before he moved out. i suppose J was planning on just keeping it.....but im glad he is being honest and giving it back to me!! this totally made my day!!!
i dont really feel like writing today. my brain just isnt working. i really really really need to start writing my ethnic lit paper and putting together my portfolio for multi-cultural ed. they're both due tuesday and i havent started either!!! gosh why am i such a procrastinator?? i dont know dammit.

Complete and Total Randomness
maybe it's a good thing there's nothing to do tonight, because i have to wake up extra early to meet drew at hollywood video in order to drive to owensboro, ky for orientation. and im not a morning person, at all. let's just say im not looking forward to it.
today i woke up late for class.....and it's a 12 o'clock class. how does that happen exactly? how can you sleep in for a noon class?
i've been pretty busy lately trying to get my stuff together. i have so much catch up work to do for my classes. i technically could be doing all of that right now, but.......hmmmm......no thanks.
i cant help but notice that i've had this blog for nearly two years now. true, i didnt write in it for six months, and i wasnt very faithful to blogging in the beginning, but it has been in existence for almost two years. oh it's going to be exciting on the two year birthday. maybe i'll throw a party for my blog. and we'll have cake. no, pie. because i dont like cake.
in case you havent noticed yet, im babbling on and on about absolutely nothing. that is because my life is a bore and i have nothing exciting to say whatsoever. EXCEPT i think the movie lost in translation was the biggest piece of crap i've seen in a long time. i think it is way overrated. the only reason people say they like it is because somewhere along the line, it became cool and hip to like that movie. and then people were all like, "oh, have you seen lost in translation? it's amazing. it's so amazing. sophia coppola is so amazing." and then other people were like, "oh ya, lost in translation is so brilliant." and then if you think that it ISNT brilliant (like me), you're just not part of the cool crowd. well im going to be daring and declare once and for all that it SUCKS.
i think in my spare time as a teacher, im going to be a film critic. that would be my number two dream job. do you need to go to college for that? probably. i'll have a degree in English with an emphasis on creative writing. does that count?? ohhh let's hope so.

EXCEPT i think the movie lost in translation was the biggest piece of crap i've seen in a long time. i think it is way overrated. the only reason people say they like it is because somewhere along the line, it became cool and hip to like that movie. and then people were all like, "oh, have you seen lost in translation? it's amazing. it's so amazing. sophia coppola is so amazing." and then other people were like, "oh ya, lost in translation is so brilliant." and then if you think that it ISNT brilliant (like me), you're just not part of the cool crowd. well im going to be daring and declare once and for all that it SUCKS.
i think in my spare time as a teacher, im going to be a film critic. that would be my number two dream job. do you need to go to college for that? probably. i'll have a degree in English with an emphasis on creative writing. does that count?? ohhh let's hope so.
Addicted to the Blog?
well tonight i have a huge headache. i decided to skip on the blogging and go to sleep, but a funny thing happened....i COULDNT. it seems i cant fall asleep without blogging first. maybe i have too much on my mind. maybe my day doesnt feel finished without the blog. i dont know. at any rate, im here. and im blogging. so perhaps this will give me some closure. i dont have anything to say right now. except randy's music is extremely loud and it is irritating me. that is all. here's hoping i fall asleep quickly.

Gettin Lucky in Kentucky
i would just like to point out that the date and time above are INCORRECT. and i dont know why. it is in fact saturday, april 24th, and it is approximately 6 p.m.
so what has been going on since the last time i blogged??? hmm. not a WHOLE lot. i got to watch Big Fish and Love, Actually because beth is able to rent them a week before they actually come out on video. I had seen Love Actually before in the theaters, but I love that movie so i was happy to see it again. and Big Fish was an excellent movie, very sad. katie and i cried.
i have orientation at hollywood video next saturday in owensboro. hooray!! i'll finally be able to start work. that makes me happy!
last night was quite entertaining. i went with kristine and her friends shallon and chrissy to kentucky to visit shallon's cousin and brother. we got lost on the way home, however. THEN when we finally found our way, we got stuck in traffic at 3:30 in the morning!! what are the odds???? apparently, a barge had run into the kentucky/indiana bridge on the ohio river, so they wouldnt let anybody on the bridge. traffic was backed up for miles. we were stuck for an hour and a half...and everyone had their cars turned off. we made friends with a few old truckers who got out of their trucks and were congregating outside our car. a little weird and frightening, but altogether interesting. and shallon is perhaps the cutest girl i've ever met. she had never been through a tollway before, so she didnt know what to do once we got to the toll. she kept yelling, "where's the slot?" ohhhh good times.
today i've done a whole lot of nothing. i have a few papers to write, but i really dont see myself doing that on a saturday. i just dont do things like that. haha. i did watch Mission Impossible today on HBO. It's a good movie, i've seen it before. but i have to admit, no matter how many times i watch it, I never REALLY understand what is going on. for real, what exactly is that all about??
tonight i have no clue what i'll be doing. last night i was supposed to go out with my cousin. i dont think she'll be here tonight. katie is gone. this makes me sad. i'm so lost without katie. at least when she's here we can be bored together.

Braces and Bugs
ok- i have a permanent retainer on my bottom teeth...like, behind my teeth. it's basically just one thin wire running across the back of like 5 teeth. now.....what is the purpose in this. and when they say "permanent" do they MEAN permanent??? because let's think about this. i got my braces off in like march of senior year of high school (i think). this was 3 years ago. shouldnt i get this thing out now??? i can't imagine that there are 50 year old people walking around with permanent retainers on the back of their teeth. honestly. who does that?
so, should i go request to have this thing removed from my mouth? i dont go to the orthodontist anymore, although they still hound me to come in for my regular "check-ups" to see how my removable retainer is fitting. ok......do they honestly think i still WEAR my retainer? i stopped wearing that thing like 2 months after i got my braces off. i dont even know where it is anymore. the last couple times i went to the orthodontist....i didnt even bring my retainer with me because i had no clue where it was. and the guy yelled at me. ok, im sorry, but im 20 years old (21 in a month). how long do you expect me to wear this thing??? certainly not my whole life.
and Lord knows i've had ENOUGH of the orthodontics. i got braces on when i was in 4th grade. i got them off in 8th grade, wore a retainer for 2 years and then got braces back on in 10th grade, then finally got them off at the END of senior year. i had braces or some sort of orthodontic device in my mouth for my ENTIRE school career. i've had enough of my orthodontist.
alright. on to my next topic of discussion. katie figured out for me why i am so deathly afraid of bugs. and this really is an unnatural fear. im not talking, "ew, there's a bug." i FREAK OUT and scream and run around like a damn fool and i refuse to go into a room where there is a bug on the wall. and not just huge bugs or spiders...im afraid of freakin ladybugs. i cant kill bugs either. when i try to even come close to them, even if it's just to swat them with a shoe, i literally have a panic attack. i will start breathing really heavily and get shaky and get this horrible feeling in my stomach that they're gonna jump up on me and crawl all over me. i know, this is really weird and psycho.
when i was home for easter, i was going to go to bed, and there was a ladybug in my bedroom. it was on my wall near my dresser. now, any normal person would either kill it or ignore it......no, not me. after freakin out and jumping around thinking i had ladybugs crawling on me, i went to grab a tissue and attempted to kill it. however, i couldnt come nearer than 6 feet to it without hyperventilating. i then had to resort to writing a note to my dad who was in bed, asking him to kill the lady bug when he woke up and then come wake me up........i slept on the couch.
yes, yes. this is strange. so the other night after katie and i saw a bug on katie's wall and i freaked out and ran away and katie killed it, i told her that when i was little and my dad would squish bugs with tissue, he would chase me around the house with it and try to scare me with it. he would make noises like "ugh! watch out, it's still alive!" and then like go to toss it at me like it was going to crawl on me. katie determined this is where my inhuman fear of bugs stems from. and i think she's right.

almost the weekend!!!
the rest of the week is going to be a joke for me. wednesdays and fridays i always have just one class at noon (the good part about having two night classes), and my english class is canceled tomorrow so i only have one class tomorrow as well. yay! the weekend will be here before i know it!!!!
i would also like to say that i just love my friends so much. i got a letter from tina today....i seriously think it was an answered prayer. i was really upset yesterday, and then today i get a letter from my best friend out of nowhere talking about precisely the things i've been upset about. and it just reminded me of how wonderful she is and how lucky i am to have her!!!! i love her so much.
well, how about a rundown of my day. it's been wonderful. it was about 70 degrees today. i went to my one class and did a fairly decent job on my spanish test in spite of the fact that i did not study AT ALL. then i came home, katie and i went to subway and brought it out to the river where we sat at a picnic table and ate. then we went for a walk along the river. it's so pretty out there.
then we went to the mall. i got a new pair of flip flops which is so very exciting. we saw ben and sam there as well and managed to scare them. haha. then we came home. nikki came to visit after her class, which was nice because we hadnt seen her in FOREVER. then i watched my shows....american idol, the o.c., and newlyweds.
THEN, katie and i decided out of nowhere that we should move off campus next year and get an apartment since she's not going to be an RA anymore. so we went out at like 10 at night to look at apartments and houses. we couldnt do much because it was dark, but we're leaning toward copper creek i think. it's so nice out there.
and now here i sit. i guess i should go to bed. i dont know why i stay up so late all the time because i can never wake up in the morning. and i have nine o'clock class tomorrow. soooo......goodnight! :)

Back to school...back to school, to prove to dad im not a fool........
well well well. back in evansville after a very uneventful spring break in lowell. so pretty much nobody was home when i was. everyone from usi went on trips but ME. and no other school in this solar system had the same break as us. i was forced to hang out with JULIE. ugh. haha. just kidding. i was so happy to spend time with one of my best friends!
friday night i got to see tina who was home for the weekend. we watched the junior miss tape from senior year. boy is that some funny shit! we were laughing the entire time. how embarrassing. i miss high school so much. oh we watched our graduation video too. THAT is sad. i cant believe it's been three years! everyone looks so young in that tape.
i also got to watch the tape of showcase 2001. now THAT brought back some great memories. bethy, jess, or em, if you read this, do you know how lucky we were to be in that kick ass choir? we were the FOUNDING members of Premiere Distinction!!! i think we took it for granted. ok, so maybe our choir couldnt quite measure up to crete monee...
but what other choir in the world will ever have mike vitoux's antics (ronnie dig my clothes here boy), nick collum's facial expressions (while sitting in class), or those spangly dresses? only us girls could get away with wearing gorilla masks during dress rehearsals, taking pictures of andy during class (with the flash) while he's trying to yell at us, or responding to his requests for "more party noise" in songs by screaming out phrases like "Where's the chips!" oh and Ruphio at Crete Monee of course! please dont get me started on fridays in the little theater with mrs. hughes and her dance classes. i will never be able to hear "Kiss from a rose" by Seal again without thinking of weird stretching and leaping.
ok enough about old times! im sure no one cares anyways. well i think im gonna do some reading then go to bed. goodnight everyone!!!!

Mmmmmkay?
I love julie naddy!!!!! julie decided to take a road trip tonight and drive the 4 and a half hours all the way down here to evansville just to visit me and katie!!! she got here around 1:30 in the morning....stayed till about 3:30....then left to go back home. hahaha. oh but it was so much fun, it reminded me of old times when she still lived with katie and i! i miss her so much! but it's ok because im going home for spring break in 2 days and i'll be able to hang out with her for a whole week! YAY!!! thanks for coming julie. mmmmkay?
well now it's almost 5 in the morning. i was gonna go to bed, but im not really all that tired. katie and i decided to pull an all-nighter. i have a test at 9 in the morning that i did not study for. not only did i not study, but i didnt read anything. not only did i not read anything, but i didnt take any notes in class......not only did i not take any notes in class, but i dont listen to anything he says. i also skipped about 5 classes. soooo.....it's not lookin good folks. why am i so irresponsible this semester? gosh i just need to get away from evansville. this spring break will hopefully do something for me....refresh my spirits. because i cant take much more of these hicks with the southern accents and the inability to drive.
im getting a little tired but im going to fight it! when it gets light out katie and i are gonna make a big breakfast. it will be loads of fun!
p.s. i also want to say that i love you beth shelhart!!!!!! cant wait for the mary kay party tomorrow! :)
You are WILD AND CRAZY KIDS. You couldn't get
through life without a little fun... or a neon
colored t-shirt. You are a team player and
really into Omar Gooding. GO YOU!

Ghetto Towers....not Golden Towers
so of course my plan of going to bed early tonight didnt exactly pan out. i should have known better. when you live in the ghetto as katie and i do, it's impossible to sleep before 3 a.m. because of all the ghetto-fabulous drama that goes on. it's not just the music. no no. we are surrounded by ghetto-ness, except for the arab that lives next door, and besides all the music that is played throughout the night, you've got the ghetto-ful couple on the other side that has a baby and fights all night long. then there's the ghetto-tabulous boys upstairs. tonight they both had mad drama going on with their "women". and it's kind of hard not to listen when they're in the hallway that echoes!
katie and i decided that since we no longer have drama of our own to deal with in our lives, we can live vicariously through other peoples' drama. it's funny to be on the other side of it for once. and when its GHETTO drama....it's extra fun. we need to get a video camera so we can make a documentary on what it's like to live in this place. it's seriously so funny. a big culture shock from LI.

"Good luck finding a DJ who can move and shake like THISSSSS"
You're Elemant is Wind. You're light-hearted,
care-free, kind, sensative, and mysterious. You
have friends and most absolutely love you. You
can be calm and soothing one minute and ragging
in anger the next so no one wants to get on
your bad side. You're beauty is inspiring and
magical.
What's Your Element(girls)? (PICTURES)
brought to you by Quizilla
i saw this quiz in beth's blog so i decided to take it. this makes me laugh. first of all, there are about 6 spelling errors in it so im not really sure i trust the girl that made this quiz to determine what my "element" is, because she's dumb. aside from that, i think it's funny that it says "you have friends, and MOST absolutely love you." hahaha. nice.
what a weekend! got to spend quality time with bethy which is always a positive thing! and now im sitting here realizing i have a brit lit midterm tomorrow that i did not study for ONE BIT. procrastinator should have been my FIRST name instead of my middle name.
i also want to say that i absolutely love my friends, once again. erica gave me a pep talk tonight and i just love that girl.

Insomnia BITES
song of the moment: once again, not listening to anything
on the tv: The Wedding Singer!
after the last time i blogged, i finished my laundry around 3:30 a.m. i went to bed, and i couldnt fall asleep! what the hell! i tried to fall asleep until a little after 4:30, when i realized that even if i DID fall asleep exactly at that moment, i would still only get about 3 hours of sleep. now, i know that getting no sleep is sometimes better than getting very little sleep, so i gave up. i turned my lamp on and sat up and watched Robin Hood Prince of Thieves on the USI channel until about 5:30. then i went for a drive around the block with my windows down to keep me awake. well then i still had about 2 hours to kill so i took random quizzes on emode.com to kill time. Turns out I'm most like Chandler from Friends, my personal theme song is "Walking on Sunshine", I'm a people pleaser, my true color is, what else, PINK, and my IQ is 149. but who knows how reliable those online IQ tests are.
so i was in good shape when i went to my first class. i had a pepsi to keep me going. by my second class, however, i was feeling the crabbiness set in. all i wanted to do was go home and sleep. and i didnt really care to listen to people talk about chinese immigrants!
so i was able to come home and take about a 3 hour nap before my night class, which probably wasnt a good idea because i was even more tired when i had to wake up and go to class...but i had to go. and THAT was annoying because im in a group for a project and this really annoying girl (the over-achiever type) asked the teacher after class if we could talk to her about our presentation (without even asking the rest of us). so we met with her, ended up not even talking about our presentation, but about sexual harrassment, and the girl was telling stories about how she used to get stalked in New Jersey. so we stayed after class for a HALF HOUR talking about nothing. i was so tired and irritated. well finally when we decided to go, i asked my teacher if i could have my book that she had (long story), and she said that she had it in her office. so i had to stay even longer, help her pack about 30 books into a suitcase, carry them to her office on another floor, then wait another 20 minutes for her to tell me stories and find the book. well it ends up the book was actually in the SUITCASE that i had just packed up, not her office, so i couldve gotten it about 20 minutes earlier. GEEZ.
well that was a really long and not interesting story. haha. ok bye!

My bed is sooooooooo comfy
song of the moment: no song
on the tv: nothing!
i want to go to bed!!! i was planning on going to bed early tonight, but stupid me decided to do laundry. well, i ran into a few problems with that....and i've now been doing laundry for ummm.......4 and a half hours. im waiting on my final load in the dryer and then I'll finally be able to go to bed! and i have early class tomorrow. dammit!
today i realized i really miss my friend Ryan! he used to be my neighbor, but he doesnt go to school here anymore. he lives in indy. katie and i decided to give him a call and tell him to get his ass down here this weekend. he is such a funny guy. he's like the male version of julie naddy to me. haha. it's really surprising that i miss him this much! weird. this semester has just been such a huge contrast to LAST semester. ryan and i both liked to stay up really late, so i was over there every night until like 3 or 4 in the morning playing video games or just watching tv. i even went home with him for a weekend and got to meet his family. he's just one of those friends i know i'll always keep in touch with.
i had the first half of my brit lit midterm tonight. i think i did pretty well on it. hopefully! i need to start memorizing some stuff though, cuz i have to recite 100 lines of literature by april 5th. i really dont understand why that should have to be part of the grade, but whatever. it's not like as an english teacher im going to have to stand in front of my class and prove that i have stuff memorized. soooo gay.
ok well i have about 20 minutes left until my laundry is done. soooo im gonna get ready for bed. goodnight!
on the tv: nothing!
i want to go to bed!!! i was planning on going to bed early tonight, but stupid me decided to do laundry. well, i ran into a few problems with that....and i've now been doing laundry for ummm.......4 and a half hours. im waiting on my final load in the dryer and then I'll finally be able to go to bed! and i have early class tomorrow. dammit!
today i realized i really miss my friend Ryan! he used to be my neighbor, but he doesnt go to school here anymore. he lives in indy. katie and i decided to give him a call and tell him to get his ass down here this weekend. he is such a funny guy. he's like the male version of julie naddy to me. haha. it's really surprising that i miss him this much! weird. this semester has just been such a huge contrast to LAST semester. ryan and i both liked to stay up really late, so i was over there every night until like 3 or 4 in the morning playing video games or just watching tv. i even went home with him for a weekend and got to meet his family. he's just one of those friends i know i'll always keep in touch with.
i had the first half of my brit lit midterm tonight. i think i did pretty well on it. hopefully! i need to start memorizing some stuff though, cuz i have to recite 100 lines of literature by april 5th. i really dont understand why that should have to be part of the grade, but whatever. it's not like as an english teacher im going to have to stand in front of my class and prove that i have stuff memorized. soooo gay.

Lesbian/hooker serial killers are disturbing!
song of the moment: Both Sides Now- Joni Mitchell
on the tv: nothin tonight
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere,
I've looked at clouds that way.
But now they only block the sun,
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done,
But clouds got in my way.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels,
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real,
I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show,
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know,
Don't give yourself away.
I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud,
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds,
I've looked at life that way.
Oh but now old friends they're acting strange,
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
awesome song. boy do i listen to some random music. i like everything though. some of the weirdest songs are the best ones out there!
well...today was a good day. i saw Monster with Bethy. we were both perplexed by the movie....and the ugliness of Charlize Theron in it. boy is she ugly in that movie. its just so disturbing. the entire movie is disturbing. i really dont know what else to say about it. it was just a confusing movie experience. at one point in the movie- as beth pointed out to me- i actually had my hand over my mouth for a good 5 minutes straight. disturbing stuff. not necessarily scary.....just.....ugh. i dont know the word for it.
i love bethy! she is so funny. we really need to start hanging out more often!
i got a strange phone call from my sister today. i answered the phone and she said "hi is Linda there?" and i said "hey whatsup." and she said "Oh, she's not? ok." (really fake-she's a bad actress). and i was like "what???" and she's like "Ohhhh she 's at class? ok." and i was like Keri what the hell are you doing. and then she just hung up. it was so funny i was so confused. then she called back like 10 minutes later and said she acted like i wasnt home because jake (her husband) told her to call me, and she told him that i probably wouldnt be home because i never am when she calls. so they made a 20 dollar bet on whether or not i would be home. so she acted like i wasnt, made 20 bucks, then called me back when Jake left for work. hahaha. smart girl. runs in the family.
well....some other things on my mind. grrrrrrrrrrrrr thats all i can say. im just mad tonight. some people just really dont care how they make other people feel. and that makes me so........sad.

yo
so it's getting late i should be getting to bed. im watching dumb and dumber. i love it. earlier i watched the wedding singer. thats another favorite of mine. i have a lot of favorite movies i realized. im just a movie lover i cant help it. i think i've seen every movie ever made. or almost every movie. im really upset though, because one of my all time favorite movies is Savannah Smiles, and NO movie store carries it. i used to have it on VHS, but i seem to have lost it. i have to find that movie again it is so cute. if you've never seen it i highly recommend it. i know i've forced a few people to watch it in the past and they enjoyed it. :) the little girl in that movie actually inspired me to want to name a daughter Savannah. although im sure my husband wont agree with me on that one........haha.

Hooray for 63 degrees!
what a BEAUTIFUL day!!! katie and i were just talking the other day how we missed the beginning of the year when we could open all the windows in our apartment. and today we can! 63 degrees! woohoo!
My computer is a PIECE
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. what a frustrating night! so suddenly, i get this error message that says some stupid crap and then my computer crashes. and when i tried to start it back up, nothing would load! it was just my desktop picture of justin timberlake :) so i finally found a phone number to call and talked to this guy who helped me out. this computer is SUCH a piece of crap. i hate it, there is always something wrong with it and it always freezes up on me.
today was a nice day. some funny, random things happened that will go unmentioned. but the weather was beautiful! tomorrow it's supposed to get up to 63! yay! i loooooooove spring i cant wait for it to get here already. i miss walking around outside barefoot and not worrying about getting all bundled up before i walk out the door.
i've decided that i am a night person. i guess i always knew this, but it has really become evident this year. here i am, it's 12:30 right now and i have absolutely nothing to do. but im awake. i should go to bed because i have to wake up at 8....but i dont want to. im absolutely exhausted, but it feels too early to go to bed. and i know im going to hate myself in the morning when i cant get up, but i dont care right now!!!

You are one of the few out there whose wings are
truly ANGELIC. Selfless, powerful, and
divine, you are one blessed with a certain
cosmic grace. You are unequalled in
peacefulness, love, and beauty. As a Being of
Light your wings are massive and a soft white
or silver. Countless feathers grace them and
radiate the light within you for all the world
to see. You are a defender, protector, and
caretaker. Comforter of the weak and forgiver
of the wrong, chances are you are taken
advantage of once in awhile, maybe quite often.
But your innocence and wisdom sees the good in
everyone and so this mistreatment does not make
you colder. Merciful to the extreme, you will
try to help misguided souls find themselves and
peace. However not all Angelics allow
themselves to be gotten the better of - the
Seraphim for example will be driven to fighting
for the sake of Justice and protection of those
less powerful. Congratulations - and don't ever
change - the world needs more people like you.

boring....boring....why is Linda so boring

must.......stay.......awake
i really want to take a nap, but im scared if i go to sleep i wont wake up for night class. so im gonna try and deal with it. i've been walking around like a zombie all day. i cant quite focus on anything for longer than a minute. today in class i was reading something to myself and i had to reread each sentence at least 5 times because i would forget in mid-sentence that i was reading and i wouldnt pay attention. boy.

I LOVE MY FRIENDS
today has been a day of reflection! i've been thinking a lot about my friends, and WOW. i am just going to come out and say right now that i have the BEST FRIENDS in the world, without a doubt! im sorry you people who are reading this, but your friends just cant compare to mine. :) girls i just dont know what i would do without you!!! Lord only knows where i'd be right now! and you girls are just such silly, fun, funny, immature, yet mature, beautiful, intelligent, caring, trusting, unselfish, talented, and admirable people. i love you! i dont know what im going to do for my wedding......i need to have at least 9 bridesmaids!
i really have nothing too exciting to say because my life is so incredibly boring. mondays suck. so do tuesdays. so im not looking forward to tomorrow. i dont think i was meant to ever wake up before 10 a.m. im just evil in the morning. and im not ordinarily an evil person!

To hell with V-day!!!!!!!!
i hope everyone had a great valentine's day. i was without a valentine this year, but it's ok. i had an ok weekend. Friday katie and i went to showplace north where it's only 3 dollars and they play older movies. we saw Mona Lisa Smile....which was ok. not spectacular. on v-day i saw 50 first dates with kate, sam and matt. then me and kate came home and decided to have a relaxing night of movies. we watched Overboard with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell (one of my all-time faves)....then sam, matt and andy visited us. pleasant night.
then today i woke up around 3 in the afternoon. i was planning on sleeping in today, but not THAT late! it's because i have this blanket over my window now to block out the sun and it's like a cave in here during the day! when i wake up i think it's still night time. it's so great. anyways now im sitting around trying to find things to distract me from doing my homework. i have so much reading to do for brit lit. grrrr. although i DO enjoy that class now. it's not so bad because i really do love literature (it is, after all, part of what i'll be teaching the rest of my life).
but now i hate my intro to comm teacher, Dr. Roat. first of all, i dont understand why i have to take that class because im an English education major. second of all, he is an absolute jerk. he is so self-righteous and condescending. and he's an atheist that is CONSTANTLY talking about the stupidity of Christianity in class. that is so not necessary and illegal in a school setting AND it really offends me.
this weekend has kind of re-energized my spirits. i think it was all the romantic movies that i've been watching. this normally would depress me, but then i had an epiphany. why should i WORRY about things? it's so pointless. and as katie constantly is telling me, 'you were happy at one time without a boy, you can do it again.' which is so true! i think my problem is that i spent so much time with a boy who always told me i would never be able to live without him....and i just believed it! But im not the weak little girl i was always told that i was....all this time it never occurred to me, I AM living without him! and not just him......every other asshole that has been in my life since! (except AJ). boy have i made some dumb mistakes! i also realized that i should have never come to this school. i could be at Drake University right now, a really really really good school! please dont ever ever ever let a boy (or girl) be the basis of your life decisions! because you never know what's gonna happen in the future!

"It's Been Awhile...."
so i have my electric piano in my room now! how exciting!! katie and i decided that she should play her recorder with me (she's taking a music class for elem. ed.) and we can have jamming sessions. we even thought we should invite randy and scott down and they can freestyle and have rhyming wars with our music. woohoo. now i have something to get back at randy with. when he's playing his rap music at 3 in the morning in his room and i can clearly hear it....i'll just turn up my piano all the way and play some classical tunes. im sure he'd LOVE that.
oooooh! i got my haircut as well! it was sooooo hard for me to let go of my hair! i got it cut so that it rests right above my shoulders. that doesnt sound short, but it is for me....considering my hair has been practically halfway down my back for most of my life. i guess it's cute though. got some layers in it. i like it a lot, but i admit im looking forward to it growing out again...i just like long hair i cant help it.
well i suppose that it is all i want to say.......hopefully it wont be another month before i write again! i love you all!
