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!

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

i've noticed that i've been blogging a lot lately. this is weird for me because i usually blog once a month or maybe once a week. maybe i've just been antsy. i dont know. i've got a lot on my mind.
there's nothing on tv so im watching Urban Cowboy on AMC. i hate this movie. debra winger sounds like a man.

well maybe i dont have as much to say as i thought i did. but i DO want to say that im looking forward to later this week...... thursday......hm. i dont know about thursday. ha. but sunday bethy and i are gonna hang out and that is excellent because i love that girl and we go to the same school and never hang out! yay cant wait!!!! love you bethy!!!

i guess im gonna lay down now. i think i might watch Overboard in bed. that movie kicks butt. im so happy i get to sleep in tomorrow! no class till NOON! hooray!

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!

true :(

"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!
