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.

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.
