RAAAAA
so as i a logging on, i see the most recently posted on the side of the page and i see this one.... www.nakedfurniture.blogspot.com
being who i am, i just HAD to go and see what is was about.
needless to say, i love it, and would highly suggest visiting it myself

oh, the other semi random blog that i have taken a shine to,
www.boygenuis.blogspot.com
i don't know who these people are... but i love thre blogs and it you get the need to wonder around like i do, i would suggest visiting their pages.

so it is the christmas eve day.
yesterday i wanted to hurt my mom. know that i love my mom and that i know i wil grow up to be her, but i just wanted to pull my hair out. she got on this random cleaning binge. for those of you who don't know her or my family, well... mainly her and me, packrats. that is all i have to say. so everyso often she gets an itch to clean. now normally it wilo be gone in like, an hour or so, but this one actually stuck around for like 5 hours. so that means that since i am home from college, i have become her free manual labor. 5 hours of cleaning, and that saddest part is that our house doen't look any different. i hope that i will over come my packrattyness. i need to marry someone who is clean, well semi clean and semi organized and i need that to rub off on me. so after cleaning and fightening with my mom (its a mother/daughter thing) i got to putt around the house and did some clothes washing and junk like that.

then today, i got to wrap presents. i LOVE wrapping presents. in the past years, i have used to much tape and paper and this year i really cut down. it was great, esp. since i decided to have lots and lots of fun wrapping, lets just say my artistic side came out and there are a bunch of presents that are wrapped in like different paper layers. it is great fun. if i knew how to put pics up here, i would make my bro take a pic of one of his presents so i could show you all. but i had a good time, and getting ther presents and stuff together made it feel alot more like christmas. i have had some trouble this year, i am so used to tradition, that i want it to be like the christmas's we had back in the day with all the people there and all the food, and presents, and family. but, half of that exteded fam is in the west coast, others are with step family and jim and kristene are in SAIPAN! but i do get joe and kim and gram'a a;long with the rents. so it is better than some peoples., but just not waht i am used to.

but like with gettting ready to go to church and then grandmas and then seeing all the colorfull wrapping paper, it is starting. i think some of the reason that it feels weird is because we have no tree. no nothin. wait, we did put out a christmas wreath on the door, but that is all. so i am excited to go to grandmas because she should have a tree and if not, then joe and kim better have one!~

this is a really long blog, so i have to run,
i have to take a shower and get all pretty and junk for church
have a merry christmas everyone!!!!!
and kiss and hug all your family. i cannot stress that enough.
kiss and hug them all, even if you don't like some of them, you still need to cherish them.

:-)

12.20.2003

so, it has been like, 3 days since i have been here,
why might you ask?

because for the last few days i have been sick
sick as a dog
sicker than i would care to admit
so sick, i just stayed in the bathroom for hours at end
so sick that i pulled a muscle in my neck
so sick i was in the fetal position rocking back and forth for most of the time when i wasn't in the bathroom
sick enough not to eat for over 2 days and still not want to eat
so sick i never want to eat marinara sauce again
so sick my parent drove up to make sure i was still alive and not dehydrated in the apt.

to wrap up,
I WAS SICK

12.17.2003

i wonder how this new blog look will look
i have to ask this

do they have a favorite sherpa?

as i was listening to the radio today, a commercial came on for REI (its a outdoors big place) and it said blah blha blah...then on to the 'favorite sherpa?' i just had to ask it.
almost done......
almost done......
ALMOST DONE!!!!!!!!!
only one more left,
only one more left.
and then i have to work tonight and then i get to sleep in! YEEHAAA

i had to wake my sorry butt up at 5:30 this morning! this coming from a girl who has troulbe waking up for her 9 am classes, yea it SUCKED. but i actually woke up surprisingly, and then studied abit more. the amanda, drea and i walked to the finals together, drea (andrea) and i had Econ and i don't remember what amanda had, but we are done with them and still i have to be here at River Falls. not bad becuse i get to work, but because i have to be here and can't be at home with the 'rents and kitties!

all in all, so far the finals have been not bad. the Econ was the worst, it was hard,but that is what i studies for like HOURS upon HOURS for last night, and then after breakfast andrea and i went to the bookstore, and guess what we found? a 2 page econ synopsis of EVERYTHING we did in that class. i think i will be going to the bookstore a bit more in the coming semesters.

but yea, so i get to take a Jterm class, it shoud be fun. but i need to find a job around here. i will do anything, like to the point on milking cows and like shoveling cow poop and junk. i just need a job for money. the info desk told me that they would need a person for like, a few hours mon - fri, but this girl Liz got the hours becuse she has been there for like, 3 years and so she has presedence over me. ppphhhhtttttttt. that is how i feel about that

12.16.2003

3 finals down
2 to go.....

12.14.2003

there are these blue icile lights hanging right in front of the Information Desk, and they are placed just so, that if you are tall enought, you can walk under them and bonk your head.

is it bad that i consider that a form of entertainment?

i think i need a life beyond our Student Center here on campus. if i am not at the info desk, then i am in the Senate office, and i think that is wrong
so where were you when you heard they captured Saddam?

i was at work,
and i noticed that it really didn't effect me whatso ever,

sad huh?

12.13.2003

dum dum dum duuuuuuummm
i am in for a long night.
i was thinking that i would be working the desk until 10:30 when we normally close... but no!
we have some stupid party going on and i have to be here until midnight! possibly later!
that puts a MAJOR crunch in my plans for the night. granted i didn't have much planned, but it is the principle of the thing!

12.11.2003

i have come to the conclussion that i dont like alot of republicans. there is this one specific on campus republican who just gives a bad name to all republicans, either on campus or off.
so as i am sitting here in the Information Desk, i keep seeing people that i used to know and that i don't really know anymore... and they always say hi and how are you. i wonder how many of those people actually care like how i am acxtually doing. i know that it is a nice thing to do, but i feel that it is so trite. (for those of you, that means that i feel it is crap for them to do that). if you want to give yourself a nice warm fuzzy feeling, that is great, but don't do it at my expense. if you want to say hi, that isi great, but dont ask how i am doing when you dont want to know. i think people need to be more real. not like, reality show real, but like actual real. you don't have to be so damn superficial.

wow, i kinda sound like a bithc.

12.07.2003

i have deciced that i need to change my blog name
due to a visit to boygenius's blog, i have decided that i have to change it and make it funner.

is funner an actual word? i don't know but i think i might try to make it an actual word
i have changed the name
i love my job.
i love my roommates.
i love my friends.
i miss my friends.
i got to see jenni today.
i am bored.

do de do do doooooo
strangers in the night....
exchanging glances,
something something something
do de do do doooooo

ok, so i am bored, can ya tell?
at work and all studied out and my brain is FRIED, with a capital F

12.04.2003

so yea,
it has reached that time of the year again......
bells jingling, people sleding on the ice, cars careening into each other out on the streets,
and the coupe de grace,
FINALS!!!!!!

i hate finals, they suck so much
and i really hate them because they are, like... a big freaking test.
so there is only like one or 2 finals that i am somewhat worried about, as for my CSIS, i am worried in general, i have not done good in that class, becuse the whole grade is based on like, 2 tests that are CRAZY INSANE DIFFICULT!!!!!!
so i might take that class again over J term because i need atleast a c in it to pass for my major. and then there is econ, i did good on the first test, TOTALLY sucked it up on the second and as long as i can pull off like, a C on the final, i should be a-ok. it isa the same thing for math, but that is becuase i HATE math and math HATES me, and math is the devil, and i really don't like it, can you tell that i don't like math?

but toher than that, i am doing good in school. being involved can have its drawback, like the fact that i have almost NO time for people that i would WANT to talk to but can't. and then this weekend, i am SUPER bus studying for finals and working at the Info desk, and like that is my whole weekend, with a HUGE emphasis on the STUDYING!!!!!!!!!!!

but there is a good thing on the way, i get APID on firday, !!! that would be tomorrow, !!! :-)
i am very excited about that,!

11.25.2003

so, i don't know if anyone actually reads this os if i just do this for my own pleasure...
i often wonder about things like that. like, if anyone reads this, because i think that maybe some people should and then get to know me and then i can make even more friends and broaden my horizons that way.

i love meeting new people. that is why i liked going to the Womens Leadership Conference over the weekend we just had. i got to meet a bunch of new people and we exchanged contact info and it will be interesting to see what happenes.

so this week is thanksgiving break week. it is going to be fun. i have stuff to do and people to do it with, and then i get to go tomy parents house and chill and the tomy brothers and have a thanksgiving breakfast and so i am excited.

and guess what? thanksgiving is the last day that i work at the Sportsmans Guide.!!!!!!!!!! very excxited about that!

so i think that is all from me .

11.14.2003

the week has been busy
i have been doing stuff none stop, and earlier today i felt like i was going to die , or crawl into a little hole and stay there the rest of my life. but apparently i can't do that without causing some for of worry, so that means that i have to keep on kicking.

bleck

life is not good.

i often wonder if random people find my Blog. what do they think of me? i have been actually been burning some cds, which is good because that is why i have a burner. if you can't tell i am having problems making myself focus... but it is all good. school is over for the year, and now i just have a crap load of finals to do.

BUT, i DID get my Directorship position for next year with senate!!! yep, that means that i am the Director Elect for the Womens Initatives Committee for next year on senate!! :-)
and now.. for a summer job?
barb might be working at ValleyFair for the summer! and that would be SUPER cool, becasue that means that i will have money coming in to pay for the apt that i am getting with my girls.

yea that is about it from me for now,

4.22.2003

alright, so it has been a few days since i have been able to write, and for this week, i will either be writing ALOT or a really little bit. why? because i am SO freakin busy! i have Take Back The Night, Senate stuff, Hallapoolza stuff, and just alot of crap going on in general. but next ruesday my stress level will have gone down SO much it will be nice to be able to breathe again. plus i am supposed to be registering for classes on thursday at 2:30, but i have a class and so i am trying to find someone who can register me becasue i don't want to miss it since it is a test day.

so yea, Thursaday i went home and went to church, and then on Friday i went to the doctor who told me that i have an ear infection and gave me antibiotics. and then i went to the last like, 10 mins of church. saturday i didn't do a whole lot, i went to see the play LifeGiver with my friend Jennni and it was SO good!
yea, so that is all i am going to say about that

sunday was easter and it was fun! i brought my friend Monica with me becasue she was all alone up here in RF by herslef and so i invited her to come with me and my crazy family, but it was all good, we went to Reeds and hung out and ate and playedf Dominoes, (i kicked monicas butt in dominoes!! the final score was like, 198 to 24, it was a beautiful thing!!!!) yea and so it was really fun fun fun fun!

today is tuesday and yesterday was monday, on monday i went to class and did some TBTN (Take Back The Night, just for future reference) stuff and Hallapoolza stuff too. it was a long tiring day, and then i went and hung out with Ryan (YEAH RYN!) and we hung out and watched the Toronto and Phillies play and it was amazing! i still dont know who won! we had to leave during the second intermission for OT, and i still dont know!!!!!! but yea, then i went with Ryan , Ryan, and Ben to play volleyball, i was originally just going to watcvh and cheer, but they had a forfeit and so i platyed and we just had fun.

i have to go

4.16.2003

ok, so it is wednesday today!!!
and tomorrow is Maudy Thursday
then Good Friday,
and then EASTER SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love it when it is like this outside, it is all yucky, and rainy, and wet! it is so nice! i love the rain, just to sit and listen to it pling pling pling on the windows. it is so relaxing!

so yea, get this, i am starting to get into the gregorian chants and stuff and it is really cool!
yea this week has been stressful, there are weeks where i just want to run away and not have to deal with anything that is going on, but sadly i can't do that!!!!!!

so instead i ran away on monday with monica to hudson and went and saw a movie. it was nice to be able to get out of river falls and since she has a car, it made it even better! so we went and saw Head of State, best movie!!! it is SO funny. there is a reason that i love chris rock and that is a prime example of it! yea it was me and monica in the whole theatre!!! we sat in the middle of the isle and laid down and watched the movie that way. it was so nice to be all alone and we could talk and jeer and the screen and dance and all that good stuff that you want to do in a move theatre but dont want to get kicked out for !

then last night, tuesday, katie and megan talked me into going with them and seeing Anger Management. it was a pretty good movie, funny and i lveo sandler and nicholson so it was all good. and after that i went with katie to visit her boy at the AGR house, and was there for a while and then i came back and went to bed!

4.13.2003

so yea, this weekend has been long, fun, but over all just.. LONG!
alrighty, so after a quick freak out on my part, my taxes have been filed and so now i am getting money back from the state and the govt! i just love it when i get money back!!!! it almost feels like i didn't do anything to get it, but then i remember all the back breaking work that i did do to get it.. but it still feels good.

alrighty, General Assembly!! it was good, and went really well! i got to talk to my friend Amber for like a whole 3 mins, and i met a new girl named Emily, (who seems REALLY cool) and she told me why gorillas eat their young, so if any of you want to know why, just lemme know and i will tell ya! she is an anthropolgy major and i think that is really cool because i was debating about having that in my last major. i was sad because it the General Assembly itsself took a long time and so i couldn't go and visit my friends who are up by superior (sorry to cati, jimmy, jenny, and beth!)

so that was friday and saturday, LOTS of driving, but it was all good in the end
then saturday i went home to a friendly family fight. it was bewteen me and joe, as usual.
so i went and cried myself to sleep, but i really needed it anyways.
then today it Palm SUnday and so mom called me and woke me up to go to church, and i did
then we went out for lunch, and it was yummy, it was Fazoli's (its like the Olive Garden of fast food joints) so i got my pasta fix for the day there.
and then i got to come back to good ole RF, mom and dad actually let me drive myself up here!!!!1 i have a car here, but the only thing i really get to use it for is going back home on thursday night and going to Hudson's Wells Fargo bank to deposit the check my mom gave me.
so yea, i think i am going to go and but some stuff for grilled cheese tonight,
i just noticed that i use the word 'so' a FREAKIN lot!

meh!

4.10.2003

alrighty so today is thursday!

there hasn't been a whole lot going on laterly... no i take that back, there has been!
monday i had classes and some other stuff
tuesday i has classes, senate, and some other stuff, yea i helped to campaign for the United Council on tuesday. it was good fun!
wednesday consisted of alot of class and naps, i wasn't feeling very good, but i am all better now!
today is thursday! YESYESYES
i have classes, i should go and grab some lunch, but i think i am just going to have either Trix or Apple Jacks instead. and i got a ohone call today and guess hwat? i got my senatorial position for next year!!! (for those of you who didn't vote, there are 19 positions and only 11 canidates, so you do the math there.) but then Matt got president also, and i know that the UC passed so that means that we will be members for 2 more yuears!!!!!!!!! (VERY happy about that!)

so yea, i am going to UW Superior over the weekend, there is a General Assebly there and nick and i are going to be the only ones from UW-RF there, so that will be cool, but sucky at the same time. so that is what my weekend looks like, :-D

i am hungry so i am going to go and eat now

4.08.2003

alrighty, so i have been busy and i haven't had a big change to write lately so i will give you all a recap of what has been going on with me lately.

thursday was a kick ass good day and i fully needed it!!!!!!!

friday was an ok day. it SNOWED IN APRIL!!!!! so that really brought the goodness of friday down to like a tuesday good. but i got to go home and just kinda chill out and be at home. i did something i think on friday... the 'rents wetn out for dinner, and i guess i just hung around at home. OHOHOHOHOH i remember what i did! jenni called me and told me to come and have a mary kay makeover , but the people never showed up! well, they did, but it was REALLY late and it was like around almost 9ish when they were supposed to be there at 6! so the mary kay lady left and lo and behold, like 5 mins later, they came!!! so she and i hung out and it was fun!

saturday i woke up late and i went to the bank and got my CD taken out so i can pay for college, and after that i went for lunch and i decided to go to Quiznos. i had seen a commercial in the beginning and was just crasving it. i have never had quiznos before... needless to say it was good, weird, but good. so then after lunch, i went home and hung out. i washed all my dirty clothes and then i called jenni since she and i had decided to go see 'Hamlet' later that night. it was a really good version! i don't know but there is like a movie out, "Hamlet, 2000" and it takes place in New York City and it is a big corporation and it is really good! so i would go and suggest seeing it. but yea, the play was a combination of ole english and new english, so it was really good, and cool too!!!! so that was the night

sunday i woke up from my parent yelling at me to wake up and go to church, it was 9am i didn't have to wake up until 10 and i was confused, but i had to wake up and pee, so then my mom yelled at me and told me that it was DayLight Savings Time and it was really 10... i was almost late for church, well.. i was late, but only like a few mins. so it turned out a-ok. and then after that mom, dad and i went out for lunch and we decided to go to GodFathers Pizza for thier lunch buffet (which is SO GOOD!!!) and so after that we had to go and help Joe and Kim (bro and sis-in-law) move into their apartment. it is a really nice place! and they are on the 3rd floor, but THANK GOD we had an elevator else we would have DIED (alot!) so after we got them moved in, i had to leave early because i had stuff i still had to take care of ...so yea then i got back to good ole RF nice and easy.

4.04.2003

ok, so tuesday was a crappy arse day and night. wednesday wasn't much better, but THURSDAY!!!!!!!!! now thursday was a GREAT day!!!! it started out kinda bad because we were supposede to be leaving for Madison for the Budget Rally at 8 am, but Lexi (the girl who was driving) didn't wake up until 9:15!!!!!! it was interesting, she threw her alarm clock across her room and made a dent in the wall :-p but agter that, the trip down was fun, and being there was even better! i got to see a bunch of people from the WLC (womens Leadership Conference) and it was good becausae i had just seen them a few days before and so we all remembered each other too, ok, so the really... it was cool!

-bathroom break-

ok, so side note, people who don't wash their hands are yuckky!!!!!

but yea, so after the rally we went to the Unitec Concil office and hung out there with the UC staff and we discussed the budget and a bunch of other stuff. that was cool. and then we had dinner/lunch, it was around 3 ish so i dont know what to call it.
but after that we dropped Leah off at her friends and then we were on our way!!!
the trip back was fun, all except a few miles, there was a REALLY bad accident and it was really scarry to see it all. it had to have happened only about 15-20 min before we got there, and like, it was scary to think, but we had gotten lost in Madison for about that much, so that could have been us, and it was a very sombering occassion....

4.01.2003

so i was going to finish telling ya'll about the weekend, well it was really fun and i went to the Drag Show they had!!! and the conferences and hangin out with the peeps was fun. and i met a bunch of new people who were so cool!!!!
but that was the weekend.

monday was good. i was in a really good mood which kinda makes up for today since i am in a bad mood as of right now. monday night i went and saw Old School at the two dollar theatre on Main Street and it was SO FUNNY!!!! i thought i was going to pee my pants at one point in time because i was laughing so hard!!

i feel like being a reculse for the night. i think i am going to get a book to read from a buddy of mine and then just read it all night and have some of my pasta roni for dinner and go to Senate and that will be my night. i don't feel like being friendly or anything to some people right now. on that kind of a same note, why is it when you want a straight answer people won't tell you one??
just a very very minor baby rant.

i had the BEST WEEKEND!!!!!!!! but after i got back, i wish i would have stayed here. but i will explain later about that later.

ok so i went to the Women Leadership Conference in Platteville and it was SO much fun!!!!!!! i loved it! i learned so much about myself and other people that i had so much fun! i got to go to the Drag Show they put on, and it was professionals like, they had been in Vegas and in Hollywood and stuff. so it was SO good! and like i went to all these different workshops, Grassroots Organizing for Women in Colleges, Living in a Bi-sexual World, Queer 699, Time Management, and Reclaiming Our Spaces, and Becoming an Homosexual Ally, and Becoming a Disabled student Ally. it was so fun!!!
i have a new word. Queer. i have queer politics. i got schooled in some new lingo. to most people, queer means that you are a homosexual. but guess what? a straight person can have queer politics. and i am one of those. because to be queer, is you want to fuck shit up. you want to change things and you are going to try your damndest to do so. so guess what? i can be considered a queer, so next time you use that word, think about it for a minute. how is that some food for thought?

speaking of food.......
amanda and stephanie and i are going to go and eat and so i will finish this later!!!!

3.28.2003

3.21.2003

Today is FRIDAY!!!!!!
so i am just gonna run through my week. it wasn't the best, but it was good none the less.

So friday i came home and went to a party with some friends, it was fun!

saturday ... i don't remember what i did on saturday. i don't think i did much

sunday i went to church with the family ,..the WHOLE family, .. almost, we were missing one fiance, so it was still cool. and then after we went out for lunch. it was good, minus the fact that both of the bros were pickin on me a bunch.

monday , i washed clothes and sorted clothes and basically started cleaning the basement..because it NEEDS it. so that was monday and i went to lunch with my dad,. he took my out and it was good. i got a really good BLT.

tuesday.... i dont think i did much on tuesday. ... if i did, i can't remember it. i got my computer on tuesday, that is what i did

wednesday i got a call just as i was getting out of the shower and it was my buddy Dean, he wanted to know if i could sub for him for RKK on wed, thur, and fri . i was STOKED! that means i have something to do and i get some money to !
so i went to work on wednesday afternoon. then after that i went to dinner with my buddies at Perkins. it was CRAZY! there was like, 14 of us when we thought it would have been 8 ! it was so fun, i got to see a BUNCh of people that graduated with me, there was a couple guys that went from Yuppie to hippie. it was so cool, because one of them looked good as a yuppie and now looks even BETTER as a hippie! he was yummmy! and after dinner a few of us went to Liz's and hung out, that is where i learned that the war was on. liz, andrew, and i were very sad. it was a sombering occasion for all of us.

thursday i went to an 'interview' , basically i was just talking to a guy who works in the Human Resouurces depatment and that was really cool and fun. we talkied for like over an hour and it was really cool! then i came home and took a nap and then i went t work i went to work and then came home and played Roller Coaster Tycoon FOREVER!!!!!!! it is a horribly addicting game but it is SO fun!!!!!

and today is friday. i had originally planned on going to school with my mom since she is a teacher and her kids are ADORABLE , horrible, but still adorable. but i woke up and i decided not to since i had a BUNCH of stuff that i needed to take care of since i am going back to RF on sunday. and now i am at work. i know , its hard,.. i get paid to sit with kids on the computer! it is a horrible horriblly hard job!!!!
side note - that is sarcasm in the last sentence , if you can;t tell.

so i am going now
laterall

3.20.2003

I was flipping through the channels about 5 mins ago and i saw the 3 Doors Down video for 'Love Me When I'm Gone" and by the time it was finished, i had crumbled. i was sitting on my kitchen floor, crying. i am not anti america. i love my country, but i don't think we need this war. it will affect everylast one of us.

To those people i know in the service, my heart and prayers go with you. Come back to us.

no good will come of this war. we go in and kill civilians, get killed, and maybe, just ,maybe take out Sadam. send in some navy SEALS to go undercover to take care of Sadam. and some people to make sure that their are no rebellions, but we don't need to go full out into this.

The lives of many have forever been altered by the decisions of a few.
March 19th,
War with Iraq has been declared.


3.18.2003

ok, so this is along the lines of randomness... but i really want a taco still.
i wanted a taco when i began this, and that was like 2 weeks ago and i still REALLY want a taco!
my computer is the shit!
why might you ask?
the answer plain and simple,
my brothers.
ok, so here is the breakdown as of why,
joe put it together for me in the beginning.
then he upgraded my software and put a big ole hole in my tower , covered it with plexiglass, and then added a red neon light.
jim, upgraded from there.
then he gave me back my motherboard and added.... Roller Coaster Tycoon.
my computer is 'the shit'

the only draw back, RCT is a horribly addicting game, and it will be to big of a temptation for me!!!! but its all good! i love my bros! and they are computer GENIUSES so that is always good to.

plus it is Spring break right now, and all is going well!!!! nothing to do, no homework, none of that pesky deadlines....

oh, a side note - for those of you who don't already know, I have changed my major!!!
first it was Broad Area Social Sciences with an emphasis in Philosophy, and as much as i LOVE philosophy, i needed something different. so i changed it....
Broad Area Bussiness Administration with an emphasis in Management .

well what am i going to do with it ?
HUMAN RESOUCE MANAGEMENT!!!! wheeeeeeee! i am not being sarcastic in case you wanted to know. i am really excited about it! because that is what i think i really watn to do with my life,

3.14.2003

so if you cant tell, barb was being bitchy lasst night. she is sorry to anyone she might have offended or made mad at her. but she is in a much better mood now. spring break has begun, and the weather outside is BEAUTIFUL so everything is going to plan. there is only a very few things that could make her day go anybetter. and she isn't telling me, so i cant tell you!!!

ok, so that was just my split personality coming out, she is gone now, and so barb is back! :-p
i am going to a party tonight with the bro's, it is gonna be really fun! i called sober cab so that means i need to go and buy some pop to drink and to find some games to play to, i am really excited, i get to go and see Brett and Cori too! and tugger! their puppy is SO cute!

3.13.2003

thursday....
good day. didn't have classes. Econ was cancelled because of the teachers emergency apendicamy, (see previous entry) and then philosophy was cancelled because Moosa didn't have the tests corrected yet, and he didn't want to go into Locke, because it would have been like almost 2 weeks until we discussed it again, and so he said that we weren't gonna have class, and he was going to be gone, so it is all good in the class front!!!! i think it will be interesting to see who shows up at classes tomorrow. everyone is leaving to either go home or somewhere fun. i am going home. it should be interesting, i just hope that i don't lose my sleep habits,
i wish i had straight hair. ska music is good. buy the Wheatus cd. talk to me. i just hit my funny bone on the desk and it hurts!!!!!! there will be no RA position for barb next year. so that means that she might be living off campus. she is in pain and likes to refer to herself in the third person. i want someone to feel sorry for me. i wish i had a man to comfort me. i wish i had someone to snuggle with. i don't need anyone to feel bad for me, i am doing a damn good job by myself. wallowing in self pity, something i am very good at. i kinda wish i could just throw a little tantrum and get it over with. but no, i have to be adult about it... bleck, i hate being a grownup!

3.12.2003

so i think i like this plain template better than the other one. it gives me more room.
its wednesday.... and ya know what that means.... BIG BROTHER BIG SISTER DAY!!!! i am a big sister for those of you who don't know. its fun, today we are taking the kids on tours of the campus, it should be fun!

ok so how is it that the wax in people ears come about? is there something in the ear that makes it? or is kinda like the formation of boogers, where its the dust and stuff that your ear catches instead of your nose? can anyone tell me the answer to that...? so yesterday i went to my econ class and my econ professors wife was there (she teaches her too) and she told us that he went in last night for an emergency apendecimy, so i feel bad for him, i hope he gets better soon, he is a cool teacher and his wife is awesome too, she is my advisor, and get this, ROBIN WILLIAMS (yea, the famous actor one) is realterd to them! i guess his wife is her first cousin, it was cool because i went into office and there are a bunch of family pictures and randomlly there are pictures of Robin, it is SO COOL!
so my day.. has been pretty boring up until now, and i don't think it will get much better, atleast up until 3ish when the kids come here,

so that i all from me for now, i think i have another story, but i don't remeber what it is now.

3.11.2003

i need to find a job
alrighty, so this is how my day has been going.
first i wake up so i can go to breakfast with my girls, it is going well, and then i get done eating and i am still thirsty so i go and fill up my little juice cup with water. bad idea so i get the water and what do i do? i spill it ALL OVER myself. it was horible! it looked like i had peed my pants! i was so mortified! BUT luckily i was wearing my super khakis so it was all good. the water dried in a matter of like 4 minutes and i was able to go to class , mostly unembarassed. what are my super khakis you ask yourself? well they are a pair of khaki pants that i found on sale for 5 bucks a while back, and i LOVE them! i could wear these pants for like a month and there would be NOTHING on them! they are amazing! have you even seen the one commercial when the guy goes all over the place for his bachelor party and comes back home and his khakis are perfectly fine, yea, well those would be mine! they are amazing!

alright, so the old guys who always sit in our student center are SO funny! they sit there and discuss everything, from the budget to like the oncoming war and what their kids are doing. they are so funny to watch because they get SO passionate and they start waving their hands around and yelling and then they eventually all get up and start around their chairs and yell at each other. they funniest thing about it is, they all feel the same way about the issues!!!!!! they yell about the fact that they all agree! it is so funny to watch!

so my parents are right now inthe Carribean , it is so not fair! i want to go with them, but they wouldn't let me! i was sad, but my mom told me that she would try to bring me back a ring for me! so i am excited about that. and spring break is almost here, so that means that i figure out where i am living next year. well i need to figure that out soon, atleast. as of right now i am working on typing and not looking at the keyboard, i think i am doing ok. some words are kinda confusing, but i am getting there and it is coming along really well all in all i think. i can type pretty fast when i look AT the keys, so now i am trying to type fast without looking at the keys.

i hope all is going well for all of you. hopefully i will have no more run-ins with water, but if i am wearing my super khakis i should have no problem!
later all!

3.10.2003

No regrets, that's my motto. Well... that and everyone Wang Chung tonight.
best damn quote in the whole world!!!!!!!!!
so it is Monday today, the worst day of the week. it is all good. tomorrow is tuesday and that means that it is only 3 more days until Spring Break!!! yeah spring break! i get to go home and clean and wash clothes and clean the house, but i might get to go and visit some family over by Stevens Point in WI. i might go, but i think that if i get the chance i fully will because i haven't seen them in FOREVER. ok so i am sitting here dancing away because i took a 3 hour nap today and i am listening to those songs that just make you want to get up and go to a club. but that is so weird, for those of you who know me, the club scene is not who i am. so it is strange!! but for those of you who don't really know me, i am the artsy-fartsy type. im basically a dork, because i LOVE going to the Walker Art Museum and walking thru there.. give me a movie and dinner over a club anyday!

so there is this song that i am currently in love with. it is by Bone Thugz N Harmony, its called Ghetto Cowboy. i have Katie to blame for getting me into the song. it is good, the reason she likes it is because there are horses in the background. i like the way it flows.

ok so this is where the rant will end. but i will leave you on this final note.

" I'm not a superhero! I'm a Latter-Day Saint."
that is a quote from a random movie.
night all!

3.09.2003

so it is sunday night right now, one of the busiest nights of my week! i am sitting here, talking to my future sister in law and baskically just bieng bored. i think i want to out together a website, but i am not sure how to go about that, i know that i have one from the UW system, but i just need to figure out how to make that work and i will be all good. i want to make a boat out of pudding cups. i think that would be fun! i am listening to the song Welcome to my World by Nerf Herder. good band, good song, just good in general.
i love my computer. it is so awesome! for those of you who don't know, my brother joe put a red neon light in it and it is so freakin awesome!!! so i am sitting here with the light on, just looking at it. it is so nice! thanks joe!

3.07.2003

ahhh! such a good day! i woke up early and like went to breakfast with Stephanie, it was good! and then i went to classes and then i put together my nomination letter for Lexi becaue i nominated her for the Chancellors Award, and so i took care of that stuff and then i got to retake my test that i missed since i was sick as a dog! and that was all well and good, my prof didn't mind that much.

ahh my philosophy teacher.. he is so cool! he is from Pakistan and so he has that accent, (which i love!) and he went to school in Canada so he kinda has this half pakistany half french accent. he is so funny to listen to! he LOVES saying bloody hell, bloody and damn and scum. those are his FAVORITE words. we count some days to see how many times he says them. but yea so like my day has been going really well, and i bought some fake OJ for 87 cents so i am chuggin that like there is no tomorrow. it tastes good!

why are there stupid people on this earth? seriously, i think we need to put all the stupid people in a jet and just let them fly to the sun, kinda like on the Simpsons, ahh good times... Simpsons... now that is a high quality tv show!

ok i got a quote for you all, i found it while i was at my Gender Equality Council meeting, since i am on senate, i go to those meetings too. ok, but here goes

Never apologize
Never retreat
Never explain
Get things done and let them howl. - Nellie McClung

so yea .. its FRIDAY i love FRIDAYs , next FRIDAY will be my beginning of spring break.. it should be fun :-D i am not going anywhere, but i will be at home, so if you want to talk to me, or anything, that is where you can find me!
so this is the end of right now,
OH OH OH OH OH
there was a baby in the Senat office earlier today, he was SO cute! i got to hold him and he fell asleep against me! but then again, i do make a good pillow!

later all!

3.05.2003

my roommate like things that are creamy and white.
I wonder what she could be talking about?!?!?!?

well, its fish, in case you wanted to know! i thought it was funny, but yea, i have a good random thing here and there.
my mommy loves me! we had a good convo about me and lack of boys. she said that i was wonderful! he he he he

later all
ok, so last night i was having a meh kinda day, mainly because i was still sick. but then i had to go grab dinner because i was hungry and so i went to Freddies, (mass produced grease food for those of you not at RF) and i got a bacon cheese burger, and on it was 2 peices of bacon!!! hence the good extra bacon days, just in case you wanted to know.

ok so last night as i couldn't sleep, i was looking at the List of Nominees for the Academy awards, and i saw that the ChubbChubbs were up for one! ok, so ChubbChubbs is like this little 5 min cartoon that was So funny! jenni and i saw it and it was really funny! last night i went and saw the apartment that i might be getting if i don't get my RA position.... half of me kinda hopes i don't get the position because it is a nice apartment, but getting the RA position would be really nice because then i would get free room and board... so it is a toss up. i should know about the RA position before Spring break....
spring break.. lots of people are going places.. Quinnalicioius is going to scotland to visit the boy Adam, some girls on my wing are going to Mexico, my friend Megan is going to Florida and so is the roommate, and where is barb going you ask?

NEWPORT!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO!! YEA!!!! ... oh wait, that is home! DAMNNIT! yea i am not going anywhere.
ok so as i sit here and ponder the great wonders of the world... i ask myself, why did the Spice Girls break up? there had it all going on, they were hot, they had a movie, they had good head bobbing songs.. so why , WHY , WHY!?!?!?
oh yea.. maybe because they sucked! well i can't say that, to admit it, i still have a song on my computer from them , so yea i perputulized the spice train, i am sorry. that is all i can say, i am sorry.

3.04.2003

i still want a taco!!!
someone needs to bring me a taco!!!!!!
I AM SO MAD!!!
i had a great rant and rave and then i pushed a button and it dissappeared!!!
i am so mad right now! that totally goes against all the good extra bacon days!!!
damnation and damnation to hell!
So, since a bunch of people i know have these blog things, i have decided to become a lemming and make one for me too!
ok, so i guess i really don't have much to say as of right now.

well yes i do.
i hate being sick. i wish being sick was something cool like winning the lotto or something because then i could be all happy and jump around be like...
WOOHOOO! im sick! yea!!!!!

but its just not.

my brother (the Trollhunting spoon) asked Kristene (his girlfriend) to marry him. she said yes. they might be moving to SIAPAN!!!! it is a long story, but the basics is, Kristene might get a job teaching art there and jim will go with her. so that means just when i am gettting my othe bro Joe, back inthe state, the other is moving out of the HEMISPHERE!!! it is not fair i tell you!

yea so that is all from me for right now
i want a taco.
