10:01 am	Overwhelming HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY! Ahhh. It's a beautiful day, hopefully I have a little luck of the Irish with me :) So I haven't updated in a while. Busy busy, and this time I really mean it. School's kicking my butt. Money is...not the most stable aspect of my life, and my tummy feels funny, but other than that, I'm doing pretty okay. Biggest thing I guess is that I have been talking to Dusty for a while now. Okay, really it's a bit more than talking. Basically he's my bf, I guess, we just haven't gotten around to categorizing it yet. I feel like such a dork when I talk about stuff like this. I feel like I'm 14 again...uh *shivers. So, I thought that I didn't really like Dusty, and I thought I liked all these other guys for like 10 seconds. Goes to show what I know, huh? I actually really like Dusty. I mean, more so than any other guy I've gone out with. He kinda snuck up on me. But there are alot of things I like about him that I didn't really notice before. Liiiike...he's a dork...which I love. But I never knew it before because he likes to pretend to be smooth all the time. But he's really a dork deep down. That's kinda how I am, I guess. I pretend to be cool, or laid-back, but really I'm just a dork. Perfect, huh? You know, I think I should make a list of pro's and con's...just to keep tabs. Pros: 1. He's so nice (even if he comes off as a jerk sometimes). He's the type of nice guy whose mother raised him properly. Heck, he bought my friend's shots at the bar! Who could as for more than a guy who's nice to her friends. 2. He has a job, he has a car, he goes to school, and he loves his mother. Once again...cool. 3. We like alot of the same music. He even asked me to go to Widespread Panic's opening show of their tour in NC next month. I'm so excited! I was never huge into Widespread, but I've been listening to them and I think I might like them. Not that it's that important, the point is that he is taking me to a concert. I've never done anything cool like that with a significant other. It makes me grin :) There are other pro's too, but I'll have to come back to them bc I don't have time. Cons: 1. He is a huge and...fervent Alabama fan. Not that I really care, but you know...I do go to Auburn. He's big into all sports. He's a boy like that. And of course...he had to be a freakin Yankee's fan. Still not THAT important considering my team ( GO RED SOX!) traded my favorite player. But oh, yeah, Johnny was traded to the Yankees! Man, that one still burns me. He is now, however, my enemy. Hopefully he'll suck it up bad for the Yankees...but that's doubtful. Okay, I'm getting side-tracked. 2. He's probably not staying in Auburn much longer. He's going to be here the rest of the semester, but not sure after that. That could reaallly suck...but lets not count chickens. 3. He has poor phone etiquette. Not poor, just not the best. I think he hates talking on the phone, though. 4. He frustrates me alot...but I guess I like it. Ashley says he knows what he's doing, and that he's driving me crazy on purpose. She's probably right. Okay anyways, enough about that. Other stuff: - Today I'm leaving for Savannah GA to celebrate Irish day. It's supposed to be a huge deal there. Comparable to Mardi Gras, so I've heard. I'm really excited! Taylor and Ashley are going, too. Taylor turned 21 yesterday, so we are going all out! By the by, Dusty's b-day was yesterday, too. I got him a NY hat. I think he liked it, but I'm sure he wouldn't have cared if I had gotten him a toaster. -I'm not going on Spring Break. Too many other trips planned and not enough funds. I'm just gonna work, relax, read, and maybe go home for a few days. It should be good. -April 4th - I'm going to see John Butler Trio in Atlanta with Ashley. This guy Gary from work is going, too. I loooovve JBT. I saw them at Bonnaroo and it was one of my favorite shows. I highly recommend. -April 20th - Widespread with Dusty and some of his friends (it should be an interesting trip) -April 22nd - turn 22...sad. -Sometime soon after that, classes are over and I'm heading to Dauphin Island for the majority of the Summer. So, I have all kinds of stuff going on. I think that's why my classes aren't going to well. Hopefully I can pull my grades up over the next month...or it's going to suck. I'm slightly overwhelmed by life right now, but what else is knew? I guess it's better than being bored senseless. So that's me in a nutshell (No...this is me in a nutshell! Hey, look at me! I'm in a nutshell! ...heehee). I'll try to get back sooner next time. Anyways, must go! Current Mood: chipper (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:11 am	Updates Okay, let's see if I can think of some random things. One statistics test - failed - check One Cell bio test - didn't study but I don't think I failed - check Taxes - check Worked but didn't make any money - check Serious money shortage - check But a big tax return coming to compensate - CHECK! Yes! I'm getting lots of money from the government! I love when that happens. I've already got it all spent, though. Looks like it's going to Spring Break fund, Bonnaroo fund, credit card bills, then savings. After that maybe I'll be able to get some patio furniture or a new kitchen table or something. We'll see. I'm just in a good mood because I'm not going to be completely broke for the rest of the semester. AND I can enjoy my spring break and Bonnaroo guilt free. Have I mentioned the plans for Spring break or whose going to be at Bonnaroo. Spring Break - Plan to get a house boat on the St. Johns river near Jacksonville FL and get lots of people and just PARTY on the boat for the week. It should be totally awesome. If it pans out, and everyone I want to come comes, and Ashley A. doesn't back out, it should be totally fun times. Everything will be right there. We won't have to leave the boat unless we want to. We can swim and tan and chill all day. I'm really excited. Ashley is waiting to hear from her dad, but I want to get the boat NOW. Spring Break is in like a month. We need to start organizing or I will be stuck here working for my vacation. Bonnaroo - Dude. All I have to say is...just LOOK at the set list. I've starred the ones that I'm particularly excited about Radiohead* Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Phil Lesh & Friends* Beck* Elvis Costello & the Imposters Bonnie Raitt Death Cab for Cutie moe. Bright Eyes* The Neville Brothers Bela Fleck & the Flecktones Buddy Guy Damian Marley** Ben Folds*** Robert Randolph & the Family Band Dr. John Matisyahu G. Love & Special Sauce My Morning Jacket* Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder Steel Pulse Mike Gordon and Ramble Dove Cat Power Medeski Martin & Wood Nickel Creek Gomez Atmosphere Steve Earle Blues Traveler** Amadou & Mariam Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks The Dresden Dolls*************** Son Volt Clap Your Hands Say Yeah Jerry Douglas Soulive Rusted Root Devendra Banhart Band Donavon Frankenreiter Mike Doughty Sasha Grace Potter & the Nocturnals The Magic Numbers Bill Frisell Seu Jorge Bettye LaVette Dungen Shooter Jennings Rebirth Brass Band Robinella Andrew Bird Steel Train Jackie Greene Devotchka The Wood Brothers dios (malos) Toubab Krewe The Motet Marah I-Nine Balkan Beat Box The Cat Empire -Add on's as of today: Umphrey's McGee / Disco Biscuits - Special Late Night Tent Show OYSTERHEAD (Trey Anastasio, Les Claypool, Stewart Copeland) In their first concert appearance since their 2001 tour! LES CLAYPOOL (performing with his own band) Oooooh. I didn't know Trey Anastasio had decided to come. I bet Dusty will want to come now. He was mad because there wasn't going to be any Dead, Widespread, Dave, Trey, Keller, etc. Maybe he'll be excited now. I'm REALLY excited though. Especially about Blues Traveller, Ben Folds, and THE DRESDEN DOLLS!!!! I loveeee them. I can't wait. It's going to be the awesomeest ever. :) Okay let's see. Theres that and thennnn... Fafsa - not check Animal phys test - not check Animal phys lab reports(the "s" being the operative letter) - not check luckily I don't think I have homework for cell bio lab next week. Maybe I can get those reports done this weekend and the study the rest of the week before the test. We'll see how that one goes. Anyways, those are the updates. Some sad, some glad, a few mad I didn't mention. But in general, life is good. Hope you guys can say the same. Hasta! Quote of the day: "Many of the most successful men I have known have never grown up. They have retained bubbling-over boyishness. They have relished wit, they have indulged in humor. They have not allowed "dignity" to depress them into moroseness. Youthfulnesss of spirit is the twin brother of optimism, and optimism is the stuff of which American business success is fashioned. Resist growing up!" -B. C. Forbes I thought that was a good one! Current Mood: chipper (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:25 am	Just thinkin So, what's going on? Let's see. Current Feelings and Thoughts: I'm totally sad because one of my managers, Chris, has left us to work across the street at Buffalo Wild Wings. I'm sure I'll see him, but it's totally not going to be the same. He's the only manager that's immature and lets us get away with stuff. Now we're actually going to have to start behaving. Last night was Chris's last shift. It was awesome. He was covered in whip cream, flour, shaving cream, silly string, and all that good stuff. Then he hosed off and had some drinks with us. I've never seen that many people up at O'C for someones last day. It was basically a big party with karaoke and guitar and some funneling, even by Chris. I'm going to miss him. Heck, he's the guy that hired me. I don't think I've ever been this sad about a manager leaving. Weird. Other feelings. Dusty. Hmmm. We had a little talk last night. Basically I asked him why he was playing hard to get with me after accusing me of the same thing. He told me what he thought about it. I told him what I though, and I think we're on the same page now. He was reluctant because he doesn't plan on staying in this town very long, and I told him not to worry and to just be straight forward with me, and it was all golden from there. It looks like I'm going to have my first official Valentine this year. Hmmm...what do you even get a boy fro V-day? I'm not used to having to think about that.... Thought: Work was good this weekend. Lots of money. Good times. Only pushing me further from my obligations at school so that I am now staring down the barrel of a Stats test on Wed and a Cell Bio test on Thurs, along with my lab report that I can't do for animal phys because my freshly fixed laptop doesn't seem to want to go online. Sigh. And I have homework for Cell Bio lab and I have another test next week. Freakin school. And to top it off, I let Derenda talk me into working on Valentines day since I know it's going to be mad money, and I want to work even though I have a test the next day. Ah well, maybe I can actually pull myself together and study tonight...along with my laundry. Need to do my taxes, need to fill out FAFSA, need to email lady at DISL, need to go to Auburn Reality. I am so behind. My goal in life is to be rich enough to have my own assistant who does these things for me. That would be sweeeet. Ahhh...someday. Other thoughts, I have class and I need to go. Hasta! Current Mood: distressed (Comment on this)

10:11 am	Woe es me (or is it woe is me?) I don't really have time to update, but I thought I'd say a few things since it's been a while. 1. I am currently not talking to Adam. There was the whole unsure thing, and then he asked for Becky's number when she didn't realize who he was. He likes her, she likes him, I don't like hime. So after much consideration I told Becky that I couldn't be around them together, but I really don't care if they talk to each other...and I really don't, sadly enough. 2. I am currently talking to Dusty. I know there was unsureness on my part once again, but I think we have a little chemistry going, and I figured I'd see where it goes. We went to see a grateful dead cover band on Friday. I had a really good time, and he's super sweet yet a jerk at the same time. I kinda like that about him. I'll have to update on that when I know what's really going on. 3. I suck at school this semester. I can't seem to get up the energy to care about anything. I might screw up, but I'm not aiming for it. Hopefully I can find a way to get motivated. I think it's because I don't really enjoy any of my classes...at all. We'll see. 4. I have no money. Candice is gone. I have a new roommate...a gay black guy. I don't think I've mentioned it yet, but Brandon seems like he's going to be a good roommate. But as of right now, candice only gave me about half the money she said she was going to give me, and he said he's try to see if he could get me some. Hopefully someone will come through, otherwise I'm going to have to start subsisting on roman noodles. 5. I'm sick. It's cold, rainy. I have a bad cold or something. My throat hurts. My body is stiff. I have a headache, and I'm a little hung-over from Rocky's superbowl party last night. I had fun though. Seattle didn't win, but I didn't even really notice. Good food, good friends, good times...and then you pay for them the next day when you have class at 9 and a lab that will go till 6 pm. :) It's worth it though. You only live once, right? Okay, I think that's all I got for now. I'm sure I missed some stuff, but I have class soon, and I really need coffee. Hasta!

10:16 am	Stealing from Jo as usual Can you name 21 people you can think of right off the top of your head? Dont read the questions underneath until you write the names of all 21 people. Ready, Start! 1. Ashley A 2. Becky 3. Dennis 4. Todd 5. Johanna 6. Dusty 7. Curtis 8. Adam M. 9. Heidi 10. Chessa 11. Jacob 12. Jeremiah 13. Mom 14. Danny 15. John 16. Natasha 17. Tiffany 18. Will 19. Derenda 20. Erikka 21. Adam G. Now answer the questions according to the names listed below [THE QUESTIONS: 1. How did you meet 14? He's my stepdad. So when I was about toddler age my mom started dating him and so on and so forth. 2. What would you do if u never met number 6? If I never me Dusty, I sadly probably wouldn't be that different. He's a friend from work that I like to hang out with, and there would probably be one less topic for the gossip mill about us hanging out if I never knew him. Aww that makes me think of that Pocahontas song. If I neverrr knew you... 3. What would you do if 20 and 9 dated? HEEHEE* Actually, that would be odd, but fathomable at the same time. Erikka is gay, she's this cool chick I work with, and Heidi has been my friend forever. It would make since, since I know Heidi has thought about going to the other side before. 4. Did you ever like 5? Of course, Jo has been one of my best friends for almost a decade. I would hope I would like. 5. Would 4 and 12 make a good couple? Ewwwww. Todd is a 23 year old college guy and 12 is my 5 year old nephew. I don't even want to ponder that one. 6. Describe 8: Adam M.... Adam is totally hippie and totally cool and I met him at the OC. He's been Bradley's best friend forever. We have the most random conversations, interesting, but random. Like me trying to convince him that no matter how young you are, if you lose a whole bone (like the last carpal on your finger) it will never grow back. He's still convinced it will... 7. Do you think 13 is attractive? Well, it's my mom. She used to be pretty sexy back in the day, and I still think she's pretty, but she ain't exactly a spring chicken anymore. 8. Tell me something humiliating about 17? There is probably alot of stuff. Poor Tiff, she has the worst luck in the world. Murphy's Law is her life. The first thing that comes to mind is the story she told me about getting super trashed and accidentally sitting on the corner of an aquarium and getting a huge gash and stitches and stuff. Poor chica, :). 9. Do you know any of 10's family members? Well, considering she's my sister...maybe. 10. What's 21's favorite color? Iiiii, I just, I just don't know. Orange and Blue? 11. What would you do if 18 just confessed they liked you? Well, Will is totally hilarious and cool. But I think he's like mid-30's, so I'd have to let him down easily, and remind him he'll always be my favorite bartender. 12. What language does 20 speak? Georgian, I would call it. 13.Who is number 9 going out with? Noone that I know of. 14. What grade is 16 in? My big sis has a masters and a full time job, sooooo 18th? 15. When's the last time you talked to 13? Last night for a minute. 16. What is 2's favorite band? Becky loves the Beatles the best I think 17. Would you ever date 7? Oh, yeahhhh. I'd defenitely would lick him. :) 18. Would you ever date 1? Ummm, girls don't really do it for me, but if I do go over to the dark side, sure! She's totally cool. 19. Is 11 single? I hope so, he's only 8 20. What is 19's last name? Hancock 21. Would you ever want to be in a serious relationship with 2? ummm, no. Once again, a girl. But like I said, if I crossed over...she'd be too emotional for me. :) 22. What school does 3 go to? Southern Union, about to transfer to Auburn 23. Where does 15 live? My baby bro resides in Huntsville 24. Are 7 and 8 best friends? Nope, they've never even met, and if they did, I'm sure they wouldn't be friends. 25. Do you like 4? Todd's a cool dude, but not like that. I did have a dream about him last night, though...weird. Current Mood: anxious (Comment on this)

10:29 am	Bad JuJu What is WRONG with me!? I'm such a slacker and a jerk and a terrible human being. Well, maybe not that bad, but I defenitely have issues. Current Issues: 1. Well, I always have issues with school, but the usually don't rear their ugly heads till about exam time. However I have digressed so far into slacker mode that I am totally messing up and it's only the second week of school. I haven't read any of the "assigned reading" for animal phys or cell bio, I missed animal phys last friday and I missed cell bio on Tues, I haven't done my homework for Statistics. I haven't looked over my notes in case Dr. Henry gives up a quiz, which he can and will. I'm behind and it's only the second week! I need to get my butt in gear...and at least start going to my classes every day. 2. Why do I like jerks?! I totally dug Curtis, yet he was a jerk. Not a straight out one, but any guy that kinda leads you on and then sorta flips sides has to be kinda a jerk. Maybe he's just indecisive. Anyways, I'm kinda talking to this other guy right now. He's totally sweet, has a job, has a car ( although Curtis had a truck...sigh*), is from here, seems totally interested in me, and most of all is alot like me. So why do I find myself wishing that this totally sweet, cool guy that likes me and has things in common with me, was this other guy? Okay, so where Adam is cute in a sweet, clean-cut guy type of way, Curtis is completely hot, and totally sexy (and really tall...you know I'm a sucker for those big boys). But it's not just that. I feel like Adam is too sweet. I don't know why I'm always more attracted to the ones that have a hint of jerk about them. Maybe I like the cocky ones, maybe it's the confidence, or maybe I'm just a self-destructive moron who only goes for guys she knows can hurt her really badly. I don't know. I do know that I don't think I'm being fair to Adam. Granted I don't know him that well, but I already feel like I'm going to hurt him in some way. Like he's going to get attached and I'm going to drag out something that really won't ever work because I keep waiting for it to be something it's not. Wow, I'm starting to get way deep here. Nevertheless, I need to empty my head. I don't know. I want to let it ride, and see if I like him alot more when I get to know him. Actually it's not that I don't like him. He's totally cool. Ex-band nerd, server, slightly dorky, slightly hippy, likes Aerosmith and Sublime, likes Boondock Saints and Interview with a Vampire, like the Chronicles of Narnia. In short, totally just like me. I don't know. Maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe I need that whole opposites attract thing. Curtis isn't really like me at all. He's Northern, cocky, a sports guy. Whatever it is, though, something made me say "I WANT HIM!" when I look at Curtis, and something makes me say "Aww, he's so sweet...I hope I don't hurt him." when I look at Adam. Is that my conscience or my shoulder-devil? I don't know which one to listen to, but I guess I'm just going to wait and see what happens. Okay, enough introspective stupid girl stuff. I have to go to class. Hasta Current Mood: cynical (Comment on this)

1:56 pm	Hot dog A new upside to the dog. Turns out he's quite useful at attracting people. It's kinda funny. A girl saw me walking him and stopped and got out of the car to play with him. I thought that was funny. Then we went off towards some woods and I turn around and a huge dog is running toward me. I snatched Aubie up, cause I was a little scared. Turns out the big dog was really a big baby Boxer, named Winston. Let me tell you, Winstons daddy is HOT. He came up behind the dog and introduced himself...Marty...nice guy. So we chatted for a little bit. I let Aubie down and he played with Winston. That was pretty amusing. Aubie weighs like 4 lbs and this dog probably weighed like 60. But he was a sweety...and so was his owner. Maybe I'll take Aubie for a walk again tomorrow. ;) Let's see, had cell bio today. It basically sucked. That class isn't going to be fun. But I saw my friend Robert G. I had invert with him. It was me, him, and Rebecca. He liked Rebecca, but she chose Ray. Good thing, too. Ray didn't take her crap, and I'm sure she would have hurt Robert. She's a ho like that. Oh, speaking of her, I don't think I mentioned our little confrontation this weekend. Friday night while I was at wild wings, she calls asking me why I cashed both checks she sent me. Now she sent me half of Decembers rent, then she sent me half of half of Decembers rent. So 450...and I figure she owes me, anyways, and I'm not sure why she sent the other check after I'd cashed the first, so I cashed both. Turns out, she sent the second and didn't want me to cash the first at all. Well, I told her I'd give her the 150 back, but I wasn't going to give her 300. Then she got all feisty and started saying things like "I will take further action." and "I hope you don't like living in that townhouse because I'll make sure you don't live there anymore." Well, I was at the bar so I told her I'd call her when I could talk. So then I talked to some friends and my mom and my boss (don't you love the way I tell everyone my problems) and they all told me that I shouldn't give her any money and that she can't do anything. I knew she couldn't do anything to me; I'm the one freakin sitting here in my townhouse with my name on the lease paying my bills. She's the one who's not fulfilling her resposibility. So anyways, I called her, but I got her voicemail, so it went something like this. "I decided I'm not giving you any money. I'll just consider the extra payment for moving fees, travel fees, storage fees, the 5 bucks you shorted me each month on rent, and all the bills you didn't help me pay. So if you do decide to 'take further action' then you should have your lawyer call me, because I don't want to speak to you ever again." Oooooooo I felt good. I had the adrenaline pumping, and it felt good to finally tell her off. So anyways, she hasn't called me since, and Marie who runs the townhouses called me saying that Rebecca wanted out of the lease. Hmmmm...interesting. I haven't heard from any lawyers as of yet, but I'm not really worried about it. If she tries to mess with me, I'm just going to take more of her money...Biatch! Okay, anyways, other than that. Let's see. Becky called me last night and we went to Wild wings, surprise! I hung out with Becky, Dusty, Ashley A, and this chick Beth I knew. We had fun. I did see Curtis. I did talk to him a little. He said he and his friend where going to play video games. I told him that was fun for him. :) I hope he enjoyed doing that instead of hanging out with me like he could be doing...if he'd ever be straight with me. Oh well. Maybe he'll realize what he's losing soon and come crawling. LOL! Yeah...right. But still, it would be nice. Heehee. Aubie's pooped. Passed out that is. I made him run some on the way back home. I'm going to keep this puppy in shape. It's cool, though. I take him out and meet hot guys, and then he's too tired to be annoying when we get home. Life is good :) Current Mood: giddy (Comment on this)

1:44 pm	Boys are stupid Today was the first day of classes. Animal Physiology looks to be challenging, but slightly interesting...slightly being the operative word. Statistics I'm not sure about. I have a woman teacher, so that might not be good. She's foreign though, and she seems cool, as does my animal phys teacher. Cell bio is the one I'm really worried about, especially the lab. Hopefully it will be okay, though. I'm only taking 3 classes, so maybe I'll pull all A's this semester. Tis too early to tell, but it is going to be nice only taking 12 hours. I need to pick up a shift at work. I'm broke and my books are expensive. It probably doesn't help that I've gone out alot over the last month. But hey, it was my Christmas break. That means party! Haha! Okay, not really, but I had to take advantage of the lack of resposibility. Last night was fun, though. We had sushi, sake, and went to Bumpers and played pool. I was having a really good time, then I got tired all of a sudden. And then my friend Brad got in a fight...like a bad one. He almost got the cops called on him. Not that it was his fault; he just didn't want this huge black guy hitting on his wife, Amy. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but he was a little tipsy and he's the kind of guy that doesn't stop once he gets started. He just wouldn't walk away or shut up, even when the bouncers took him outside. I sorta ducked out after that one, but I think he made it through the night without an arrest. So Becky told me that Dusty likes me. I can kinda tell, but he's a little shy. It's not going to happen, though. I wish he didn't like me, because it's weird when we hang out with a group of friends. Poor guy, I'm just too dead sexy to resist. He really is a good guy, but he's not for me. Firstly, I'm still hoping that something will work out with Curtis. I doubt it, but I'm still hoping. Technically it's only been 3 days since I saw him. He hasn't called, but I didn't expect him to. He's just so hard to figure out. I make it obvious that I like him, and he seems to switch back and forth. I'm sure I'll see him eventually at Wild wings, even if he doesn't call. That will be weird, probably. Guys are so stupid. The other night when me and Becky were there, our favorite bartender Will, was asking me about it. He said we seemed to like each other, then not, then like each other. I told him that's exactly how I feel. Will seems to think he's the nicest guy, though. I don't know. Why do people have to be so fickle? Okay, I'm not talking about it anymore. Oh, speaking of Wild wings, when we were there last week Becky played the guitar while the guy they'd hired was on break. She played Wonderful Tonight, and was awesome. She was actually better than the guy getting paid, but he sucked. Everyone kept saying how back he was. It was actually kinda funny. Alright, nothing else really to say.

3:32 pm	Okay, other than work, not alot is new. I'm getting some of Tasha's stuff out of storage. I think I'm inheriting a washer and dryer, some cute shoes, a couch, and a few other things. Apparently Roberto and Tasha are going to give it another go. That could be cool. Maybe it will work out and they'll have a baby. I know they'd have the cutest smarted coolest kid ever. I can just see it. A really tall kid with black hair, tan skin, and hazel eyes. It would be wicked smart and funny, and athletic to boot. I don't know if they are going to try to have one ever, but I'd love a neice. I don't know. Guess we should see what happens with them first. I painted a little yesterday. Hopefully it will turn out decent. It's Japanese-ish and I got a cool quote to put on it. I've been being efficient lately. I guess it's cause I know school is about to start back. Bleh! My friend Sarah has animal physiology with me, so that's cool. Maybe we can be lab partners like in ecology. Either way, it will be cool to have someone I know in the class. Okay, I think I should take a nap before work. I'm pooped for some reason. Current Mood: blah (Comment on this)

12:08 am	Holiday fun So, 20 days since my last entry. Let's see, what have I been up to? Well, there is the obvious Christmas stuff. Good food, good family, good friends, and all that jazz. There's the wedding stuff. Ashley's reception on the 18th was pretty cool. I felt a little out of place knowing only 2 people outside of the bride and groom. Johanna's is Friday. I think I'm more excited about that one because I'll know some people. During my break I've worked, shopped, hung out with people I want to hang out with, read what I wanted to read, saw movies I've been wanting to see, and partied while I can. It's been a good break. So there's Christmas, then the weddings, no school right now, then we've got the New year coming up. I think my Chinese zodiac said it isn't supposed to be the best year for me, dern year of the dog, but I'm going to optomistic, none-the-less. I'm looking forward to going back to Auburn. Not that I'm not enjoying my time off and my fam and stuff, but I'm not used to not working for so long. I miss my friends in Auburn, too. Also, there might be a prospect on the line when I get back. I don't want to say too much, because I don't want to jinx it or get my hopes up too high. But, his name is Curtis, he's tall, from Michigan, and totally looks like a winner (unlike previous contestants). I think it could be good, but like I said, we can only hope. I wish I was awesome at seducing and making guys grovel, but I'm not really. He's show signs of attraction, though, so everyone cross your fingers for me. Let's see... Other little things: Got family pictures made. Discovered new love for Johnny Cash (I knew I should have been born in the 50's). Purchased unnecessary but fun things for holiday fun. Been to the mall wayyy too many times for one visit home. Nothing that exciting, I guess. I think I'm just going to start planning for the new year...a few resolutions, some new-year motivation, and a twinge of hope for my hopeful romance life. Okay, on that note: Quotes of the day: HOPE "All human wisdom is summed up in two words - wait and hope." -- Alexander Dumas "Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again." -- Sarah Ban Breathnach "Whenever hope and illusion become the source of the will to live, all knowledge of reality becomes highly threatening, since at any time a new piece of information might remove the grounds for this hope. When life is motivated by hope for improvement, denial of reality is necessarily renewed and fortified. -- Christina Thurmer-Rohr "Hope is necessary in every condition. The miseries of poverty, sickness and captivity would, without this comfort, be insupportable." -- Samuel Johnson Current Mood: hopeful (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:05 pm	Out damn spot! I don't like the dog. I don't like him at all. He craps and pees everywhere. I've seen him chew on my shoes and my computer cord. He scratches at my BRAND NEW couch. I can't even use the bathroom downstairs because all his little things are in there. I guess it's his room now. Also, he's not that sweet. Candice babys him and he barks at me. I don't like having a dog. I think I might be a bad roommate. Not the things I do, but the things I think, really. I let every little thing get to me, but I never say anything about it. So I just fester and rot and end up hating the other person. But it doesn't always happen that way. I've gotten along with some of my roommates, but I think they were more considerate. Likkkke, they didn't use ALL of my creamer without ever asking. Theeeyy, ask me before they get a dog. Theeeyyy weren't in the living room EVERY SECOND that I'm here, especially if they had their own big screen tv in their room. I don't know. I guess I'm just a bitter old spinster. Hopefully after school starts back everything will be in better. We'll be able to get in a routine, and MAYBE her dog will start to behave. But then again that would require disciplining the dog, so we'll just have to see. Okay, I have places to see and people to do. No wait, strike that, reverse it. I just wanted to complain a little.

11:49 am	So FREEE for the moment What a glorious day! Well, it's actually kinda dreary and gross outside, but I'M in a good mood. I'm DONE with school for the semester. YEA! It's funny how many times I say "I wish this semester was over, I wish this semester was over", and then when I get done I look back and think "That wasn't that bad; I even learned a little and enjoyed some of it". I know, I'm crazy. I guess it's that nerdy side of me. By the by, the final tally was: Art history: A Ichthyology: A (Yesssss...) Genetics: B (blast!) Con Biology: B (I can't believe I slacked off that much. I should have had an A. It's my own fault, ah well). Not too disappointing, and I was very happy that I pulled the A in ich. I'm going to miss some of the stuff from this semester, though. I reallly liked Dr. Johnston and Dr. Body, and I'm going to miss not having them. They were funny and made the material farely interesting. I bet I'll be missing them even more next semester. I heard the animal phys teacher is insanely mean and hard...greaaaat. I don't know about the cell bio teacher, but that class is going to be a nightmare. Who cares about mitochondria. I don't. Maybe I'll get a super-nice, super-easy statistics teacher to balance it out. I heard that class all rests on the teacher. It can be the easiest class ever, or they can make it pretty rough. We'll see. In other happy news: -I don't have to work today! I'm working alot this week, but I took today off because Candice is moving down, for good. I should really clean the house, but at the same time, there ain't no use in pretending to be a neat freak. She'll see how it is eventually. I'm really excited she's coming, though. And her dog is the cutest thing in the world. I'm sure I won't think that when he ceases to be a puppy or if he pees on the carpet, but for now, he is. It's going to be cool having a roomie...I hope. Some adjustments will have to be made, but basically, I think it's going to work out. AND I'll save money on bills. YEs! -I got up around 10 with no problems. It's great when you wake up in a good mood. -I can read anything anytime I want, and watch movies or tv whenever I want. -I have free time to paint and practice guitar and play video games. -I bought some green tea -I'm going to have lunch with Ashley and we are going to do some Christmas shopping. -I hope to go see the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe tonight. -Even though I didn't get to work Friday or Saturday morning, I made SO much money Sat night and I've been making pretty good since then. -There is a hot topic in our mall, apparently. I'm going to check it out and pick up a cool t-shirt that I know they have. Well, that's about it for now. Hopefully the day will progress as smoothly. Current Mood: peaceful (Comment on this)

9:12 am	Annoying stuff Okay, I think I may do okay on my lab practical today. Well, maybe on the identification, but I really have no idea what she's going to ask for on the discussion parts. I wish I did so I could study. It's annoying when teachers don't make it clear what they want you to know. I guess we'll wait and see. My ich final is going to be tough, too. I think my genetics final and my con bio final will be okay, and I know my art history final will be a piece of cake. So there it is. Now all I have to do is start studying. I studies quite a bit last night for my lab practical today. Hopefully I retained most of it. Other than school: I'm not going to be working Friday or Saturday morning because of finals, but hopefully I'll be able to make it up by working alot next week. I sure hope so, anyways, because I've barely started buying Christmas gifts, and there are birthdays coming up, and a couple of weddings, too. This is going to be a busy month. Candice is moving most of her stuff down this weekend. I'm kinda excited and kinda worried. I mean, not really worried, but I haven't lived with anyone in a year and a half, so this could take some getting used to. Plus there will be a dog on top of that. At least I won't have to worry about ever being alone.... The whole roommate thing is kinda frustrating right now, because Rebecca is an unreasonable selfish b-zatch. She hasn't gotten her stuff out, and Candice is moving in this weekend. When I suggested that we put her things in storage (which we would pay for) to get them out of the way, she told me she'd paid rent for the month and she didn't want any of her things moved. I was SO mad. Firstly, what difference does it make where her stuff is collecting dust from. Secondly, wouldn't it be easier for molly to move her things out of storage than it would be for her to move stuff up and down some stairs. Thirdly, don't even talk to me about money. If she wants to talk about rent, I can start talking about fees. How about: Storage fees for me keeping her things at my apartment over the summer, Moving fees for myself and my friends for moving her things into the townhouse, travel fees for me coming to Las Vegas just so she wouldn't have to drive back alone, and then me having to turn around and buy a ticket back because her car isn't working, how about annoyance fees at her deciding not to come back and leaving me with all the bills by myself as well as the hassle of furnishing, which was supposed to be shared by both of us, how about gratuity fees for shipping items to her that she left here in AL, and to top it off, how about the shortage fees for the 5 bucks she's shorted me on rent each months which has totalled up to about 25 bucks. You'd think that after we total up all those expenses, plus damages to my well-being from worrying with the whole situation, she wouldn't have the balls to even mention money to me. It just goes to show how deluded people can be by their own selfishness. Yet after all that stuff, I still can't seem to tell her how I feel. When I talked to her about her stuff and she said she didn't want her things touched, I should have went off, but I said fine and hung up. My mom and dad, and Candice wanted me to let them talk to her. I should have done it. My mom probably would have made her cry, heeehee. But I just want to get through this as smoothly as possible. So she doesn't want her stuff moved, fine. It's still at the townhouse. Most of it is crammed in the dirty, cold storage space, outside. And when Candice comes, we're going to just put Rebeccas furniture in random spots around the house where we can fit it, until the girl comes to get it. And as soon as all her stuff is out, I'm getting the locks changed. Then hopefully I'll never have to see her again. I know I'm ranting, but she upset me so much that I couldn't study Sunday at my study session, I didn't enjoy my parents visit and my new couch as much as I would have, and I was in too bad a mood to go pick up a shift at work, so I was out even more money. Grrr! Well, all I can say is that if there is any justice in the world, she'll get what's coming to her. Okay, lets see. Other than Rebecca-troubles, being broke, and school...it think that about covers it. I should really be studing some more for my lab practical later. Okay, I'm going...

10:19 am	Sucky life Okay, it's crunch time at school. Obviously...I haven't even had time to procrastinate and write in my journal. I got home from a great Thanksgiving with my fam, worked all weekend as usual (but without making very much money this week), and Sunday night when I got off, I began. Sunday night: Spent all night answering Milestone questions for my genetics lab report and presentation...questions which I should only have had to answer like a fourth of, but since I was in a group of slacker (except Pam), I ended up having to answer ALL of them by myself when they should have been finished before Thanksgiving break. Anyways. Monday: School followed by going home and actually putting together my paper. Monday night: Go to library and spend wayyy to much time on my references page, followed by even more time spent throwing together a sketchy power point for my group and dividing up parts. Tuesday: School,paper due, and presentation Tuesday night: Instead of studying for my con bio test like I should have, or even preparing for my fish identification for lab today, I went to Target with Ashley and we ate some fish and watched Nip Tuck. I don't normally watch that show alot. It's quite disturbing...and the disturbing stuff has nothing to do with the actual showing of plastic surgery stuff. Bleh, made me sick and gave me bad feelings about society and the human race. There are some sick freaks out there, let me tell ya. I just like to pretend that all that stuff is just TV, though...right? Anyways, I know I didn't get much studying done, but I did by some enery-save light bulbs, I got a Brita pitcher so I won't be producing nearly as much plastic bottle waste (I am such a bio nerd), I have my mini-tree decorated for Christmas, and I have razors to shave my legs. So, even though it wasn't the best kind of productive, it was a little. Today I have to identify a fish for lab. It's a hit or miss really. I figure as long as I'm careful and take my time, it should get it right. Tonight: STUDY ALOT for my con bio test tomorrow. After that it's all basically finals and my final lab practical. If I can make myself start studying tomorrow night it should be golden, but we all know how that goes. Okay. Other than school, there isn't too much. I'm on some diet pills, right now, so that's fun. Not really. I'm not sure if it's working yet, but I defenitely feel like I haven't eaten alot over the past week. Still, my jeans don't feel that much more loose. We'll see how it goes. It's mostly tough because I can't have bread really. I've bent that rule a little, but I don't think in any drastic form. I'll keep ya updated if any progress starts to show. I don't get to hang out with Becky that much anymore. Well, it's only been a couple of weeks, but I don't see any improvements in the near future. She has a boyfriend now, hence to therefore No time for friends. She has other things to do. I guess I could be optimistic and not the fact that I'm saving money by not doing anything.... Friends when you're old suck. They are sporadic, they usually don't last for any extended period of time, and you never feel as close to them as you did friends from your youth. I guess that's why people get married. A sure fire best friends that you know isn't going anywhere. That's probably not in my future anytime soon, either. Ah well, que serra serra. Okay, I'm basically whining and not talking about anything relevant. Must go! Current Mood: contemplative (Comment on this)

11:03 am	Thankful In anticipation of the Thanksgiving holiday, I am showing true thanks for my my lack of tests this week, by not doing anything. Not that I don't do that on a regular basis, but I'm reallly taking advantage this week. In actuality I need to work on my lab report for Genetics as well as the group presentation that goes along with it, but it is not due until the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, so I have put it off. I DID do my laundry last night. That counts for something, right? Well, at least people at work tonight won't think that I stink, and I'm sure they'll be thankful for that. I'm just in a thankful mood, today, although I don't know why. Must be the temporary lack of stress. Oh...something that I am VERY thankful for...HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE comes out TOMORROW! Yes!!!!! I'm sooo excited. I looks so good. Reviews say it is supposed to be the best one yet! I guess we'll see. I don't know if they are having a midnight movie for it tonight, but I wish they would. I don't think they are, though. I might have to try to get out of my morning shift tomorrow. Or maybe get out of my night shift early. I REAALLY want to see it tomorrow. Hopefully everything will go well and I'll be able to...if not, maybe Sunday night...but I really want to see it tomorrow. Maybe if I don't get to go this weekend, I'll wait and take my nephews to see it when I get home. That could be fun! Okay, what else. I'm thankful that I only have two more classes left until Break. Con Bio today and Genetics in the morning. Thank you to my fabulous Ichthyology professor for cancelling class tomorrow and to my fabulous Art History professor for cancelling the first class when we get back from break. Thank you, Ashley, for letting me do my laundry at your house last night. Thank you, Candice, for moving in with me on the 15th of December. Thank you, Mother Nature, for finally making it cold outside....Everytimes I say "cold outside" I think of that song...But baby it's cold outside. Thank you, whoever, for making the gas prices go down! I saw gas for 2.15 yesterday! That rocks. That's like 20 buck of a tank of gas for me. Oh, speaking of which, I recently found out some interesting information about these crazy gas prices. Turns out, when all the gas companies were saying there was a shortage and that the hurricanes had done all that damage, and we have to raise prices, and wah wah wah. Well, looks like these companies didn't fair that bad during the little gas crisis. They have actually made quite a few bucks. Example: Exxon made 9.9 billion dollars in the last three months...IN PROFIT! If that number doesn't hit home, let me put it in perspective. 9.9 billion is the most amount of money any U.S. company has ever made in three months, and seeing as how we have the largest economy in the nation, no company in the world has ever made that much. And on top of that, when confronted, they didn't care! Not only did they not care about the tax billion dollar tax breaks they get from the government, or the fact that they are exploiting the American public in times of crises for every penny they can squeeze, but when they were asked to contribute to the federal fun for providing gas for heat for poor people up north during the winter, THEY SAID NO! Stingy, stinking, greasy, low-down, scallywags! Okay, sorry, but it made me a little mad. That's sooo wrong that they were able to do that. They should have to send like a billion of that to hurrican victims or something. Jerks. So in case you were wondering why gas was so high, there you go. I think this little discovery is one of the main reasons they decided not to pass the bill to drill in Alaskas Arctic Refuge. At least that's not going to happen. Man, I'm turning into such a hippy, tree/bunny-hugger. It's all these classes, man, I'm tellin ya. Conservation biology plus ecologically conscious living = green Judy. I'm actually considering joining the Nature Conservancy.... Okay, anyways, enough pointless ranting. I should probably do something productive. I need to go talk to Ken about Dauphin Island, but it's cold outside and I don't want to walk all the way to the life science building...maybe after con bio. Alright everyone, have a thankful day!

10:30 am	Productive me As apposed to lazy me, I've actually had quite a productive weekend. Well, not in the financial department. In the financial department I'm kinda bummed out. First I didn't make any money this weekend because we were so slow, and also, there are no bids for mine and Lindsey's Alabama/Auburn tickets. I thought they'd actually sell, but there are so many on there that noone has even bid on ours and the sale is over at 7 tonight. I hope someone buys them, but if not, Lindsey said she's go to campus that day and scalp them. I'm hoping it won't come to that, but then again she may get more money for them that way. Another money booboo...well, I bought that purse Thursday...but then I proceeded to run into Ashley after my classes, go have expensive lunch, then go to Behind the glass where I spent abouuuuttt...200 dollars. Yeah! I couldn't help myself. It's not like I even had the money to spend... I put it on my credit card. Everytime I get around Ashley I do that. Her shop-a-holicness is contagious. And I didn't even get that much stuff! Okay, for 200 bucks I got two SUPER cute nice dressy shirts, one super cute boggin that matches my pink jacket, one mini-Christmas tree that will look better when I get some ornaments for it, and on cute thing to sit on my coffee table. Yeah...that's it. I can't believe myself. I'm ashamed...and you can only return for store credit, no refunds. Yet at the same time, I have some really cute outfits to wear over the holiday's now. Ah, well. It's just money...right? Well, to make up for it I only spent a few minimal bucks on other frivolous items over the weekend...you know, like food. Okay, back to the good stuff that I did this weekend that is non-money related. Candice came last night, so I decided to clean the house before she got here. She ended up not getting here until 1:30am, so I had plenty of time. I clean EVERYTHING. I did all the dishes, vacuumed everywhere (even the stares) , swept, scrubbed that stain on the carpet, sewed that whole in my couch pillow, dusted, cleaned the bathrooms, took out the trash, and I put everything in where it was supposed to go. I was proud. Wonder how long it's going to last? Other than that, I studied for my Genetics test that I had this morning. I actually think I did quite well on this one, too. I don't know why I try. It's not like I can get an A in there, anymore, with that 7 pt. scale. Still, my B is further secured. Today there was a fire alarm in the library, so I decided to run over to the financial aid office and talk to someone about money for summer. I'm not certain that I'm going to get to go to Seattle. It will cost me more in the long run if I do go...and that's IF I get the money for it. It might be easier to go to Dauphin Island. Plus, the classes at Dauphin Island look WAY more interesting than the ones in Seattle. Maybe I can do Seattle in Summer '07. We'll see. This means I have to get on the ball for Dauphin Island registration, though. I have to turn in my application soon. So anyways, I've got all that done. I need to work on my lab report for Genetics and study for ichthyology, but both of those events come after Thanksgiving. I'm excited to go home, so that means I probably won't be able to do much studying because of the anticipation....:) Okay, I need to go.

11:35 am	Undisciplined I am the least disciplined person on the planet. A few examples: 1. Yes, I'm aware that I have a webpage due tomorrow...but did I even LOOK at it yesterday? Nooooo. So guess who has a long night of sundews and bogs ahead of her. Meee! Why can't I be efficient and get things done early, or at least on time? I have serious focus issues. Instead of doing school work, I went over to Rocky and Adam's house to play Jenga. I should have done work, though. I didn't have too much fun at their place because some of Adam's friends that I don't like were there. His friends are loser/jerks, and I've had enough of those in my life to last me for umm, I don't know, the rest of my life. Ashley A. came with me. We were supposed to go to Highlands to see a band, but I didn't want to go, and I don't think she wanted to go without me. Hope I didn't poop her party. If I did, ah, well, I got plenty of sleep anyway. 2. Yes, I'm aware that I have no money...actually worse than that, I'm in debt, yet I still spent 25 bucks at the AU bookstore about an hour ago. I bought a purse. A PURSE! Buying a purse at a bookstore. I meant to get highlighters...can you shop more impulsively than that? I'm really not usually this bad. I think it's the anticipation of the end of the semester and the holidays. I'm always so ready for school to be over this time of year. Alas, There are still a few weeks left and mucho work to be done. My purse is cute, though. It's got all these famous women authors' faces on it. I like it. I kinda needed a new pu rse, anyways.

10:27 am	Preparation and lack there of Okay, I actually found some books on sundews to help me with my webpage, but I gave my student ID to Mad-dog Lindsey so she could put my Alabama ticket on sale on E-bay, so I can't check out the books. And since this library is so freakin huge and I didn't feel like putting them back when I planned on looking at them again today, I hid them on a shelf near where I study, so I'd know where they were. I felt kinda scandalous, but it worked! I went back today, and there they were! Amazing! I guess they don't have employees that check every book in the library to make sure it's in the right place.... I don't really have time to look at the books right now though, so I'll have to hide them again and come back later. I didn't get enough of my webpage done to send it to Boyd for proofing, but I figure I have his comments on my last one, so I should be able to put something decent together. It would be nice to get an A on this one. I think I'm going to get a B in that class, I might get one in ichthyology, and I'm probably getting one in genetics. That's sad. This will be the first semester ever that I get more than one B. I'm such a slacker. I'm sure many people would say, B'S! I'd LOVE to get B's! Wellll...I don't! I like A's. I don't even know why I care anymore, though. I know that my GPA isn't really that important, just the degree. I mean, it's slightly important, but mine is good enough. I wish I could be like others and be happy with B's and C's...I don't know what mom did to me, but she drilled that all A's crap in my head. I think it was the whole giving me money for A's thing...and it's lasted into college. Okay, enough of that. Last night I wasn't the most productive with my webpage, but I did get some of it done (I think I'm like 2/3 of the way throught). Instead I was productive in other ways. I'm trying to prepare for the roommate situation, and since Candice is coming Sunday for her orientation on Monday, I thought I ought to start cleaning up. I cleaned and organized the bathroom. I put some more things in the storage closet. I organized the kitchen counters and a little of the pantry, I swept, I did the dishes, I took out the trash, I dusted some of the furniture in the living room, anndddd...that's about it. It really wasn't that much, but it made me feel better to do it. I always feel gratified when I clean, yet I hardly ever do it...funny. I also practiced my guitart for a while (until my finger tips hurt pretty bad). I'm trying to learn Everybody hurts, by REM. It's actually kinda easy and it sounds good. Hopefully I can play it and people will know what it is (which was not the case with dock of the bay). I thought we were going outside today for ich lab, but it turns out, that's next week. I scraped some of the mud off my creek shoes, and wore my swimming pants and everything, only to be foiled in my attempts at preparation. Ah well, it's not like I was looking forward to seining anyways. Plus she told us that next week, when we actually do go out, we get to wear waders because it's going to be cold. Duhhhh...it was cold when we went out the last two times...but I didn't tell her that. All right, must go!

10:29 am	Say my name Your French Name is: Valentine Dufaux What's Your French Name? That's kinda cool, although I'm not sure about the last name. Makes me think of William Dufaux, who is a good actor, but kinda creepy. Your Hawaiian Name is: Okelani Kalea What's your Hawaiian Name? I like that one, it's pretty. This name thing is kinda fun. Elvish Name: Enelya Elendil Star Wars name: Judak Pojon Okay enough of that. Here I am procrastinating again. What else is new? So I worked all weekend, and didn't spend TOO much money. And last night I had every intention of starting my webpage and getting alot of it done so I could finish it tonight and send it to Dr. Boyd. However I didn't even start it last night. I watch some early 90's movie and then went to bed. I need some motivation. I'm going to try really hard to get alot of it done tonight, though. Then I'm going to send it in the morning. Either way, I have nothing else due this week, so if I get started now, it shouldn't be too bad. Other than that, not alot happened this weekend. Work...yeah, that was about it. Okay, I'm going to go now. A little something to get me going, Quote of the day: "Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do.
