The Clouds Will Part and A Friend Will Smile Down
Me: Why do you ask?
NutShell: Just wondering.
Me: Yeah apparently we are just friends.
NutShell: :(
Me: ??
Me: Frowny face?
NutShell: Well, idk how you felt about him.
Me: Hmm?
NutShell: idk
NutShell: nvm
Me: Of course I like him.
Me: Silly silly silly...
NutShell: Then that's why the frowny face.
Me: :(
Me: Awww now I've come down with a case of the frowny faces too.
NutShell: Sorry for being the cause of it.
Me: It's just so contagious!
Me: We must kill the virus!
NutShell: :)
NutShell: :)
NutShell: We must kill it with smileys!!!
Me: :)
Me: That felt good.
And I'll sit and wonder
Of every love that could've been
If I'd only thought of something charming to say.
I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots.
(Eh it came on repeat and the conversation was too cute to not post.)
The Meanness Pulses Through My Cold Heart
Attention earthlings! I've just been informed: I am the meanest sister in the world. Apparently because I won't let my sister trade cell phones with me at 1:30 am so she can check her text messages because she did something to her phone. @_@ Who was that nice sister yesterday that spent an hour teaching her younger sister calculus shortcuts? Iono. {Insert sarcastic face here}
So yesterday it was raining and I wore flipflops. Quite a deadly combination. I started hydroplaning and ended up on my knees. Pants = muddyish. Very embarrassing. Why is it so hard to fall? Why is it so hard to laugh while you're falling? I mean those literally and nonliterally.
Physics 2 is really worrying me. I think I might actually need to study it. So the other day we were informed that sound doesn't travel in vacuums, except it was taught in much more complex terminology and with a thick Asian accent.
Me: Mental note - next time I kill someone, suck all the air out of the room first.
Yanay: Then you'll die too though.
Me: Oh. Hmm. Well I'll have to rethink that plan...
Saw "Accepted" with Vickie today! Pretty good movie. It certainly had its funny moments. Justin Long will always be my favorite underdog. Can you imagine if he played Napoleon Dynamite? Ohh that's a weird thought.
Mere just came in here and yelled at me again. WHY AM I BEING SO MEAN? Uh I don't think I am. If someone asks for a favor and you don't help them out, is it mean? I mean it's called "asking a favor" with asking involved which implies a no answer is allowable. America, I need to know, am I being "mean"? Text your vote to - yeah ok I'll stop watching tv for awhile.
First Day, Year Two
Today went ok. Parking took way too long but traffic wasn't too bad. Saw some old friends.
Right now I'm just feeling mentally bleh. Kinda bummed about several things at the moment. Stupid hurricane is supposed to stop by sometime but I wish it'd hurry up because I could really use a good rain right about now.
I was so happy today that my three computer engineering buddies were all gonna be in a few of my classes this semester. But I've just been informed two out of the three have already dropped those classes and are changing majors because they "don't want to sit on their butts all day and stare at code." Lamest thing I've ever heard. Vicki also switched out of the computer engineering major. So that leaves Craig, Dustin, Camilo, and Vincent. And that also leaves me unsure.
Do I really want to do this? I feel really stupid. I don't even really know any languages very well. Everyone else seems to already have great mountains of computer knowledge stored away in their brains. Well you know what? Everyone has to start somewhere and I just am going to start at the beginning. Who cares if know one else wants to start there with me? Oh wait I do.
Well I think I'm going to try these classes and if things don't work out this semester perhaps I'll follow the group and switch to something I'm better at. But I don't think I should expect myself to be great at computers without some work involved or at least giving it my best shot. I probably shouldn't do either if I don't like/enjoy it. But I really don't know what I want at this point. Grr.
Other downers of today: full parking garage and just about every other parking lot on campus. Dead baby kitten in the road on the way home. I had to drive with it under the center of the car and it was depressing. Really, I wanted to vomit or cry. What's the deal with my emotions? Yeah it's that time of the month, give me a break already.
So instead of going to my first class tomorrow with my friends, I might end up alone now that they bailed on me. Kinda sad, but could be good. I miss eating lunch, going to Starbucks, sitting in the MC, and chilling in the library. Hopefully I can work those into my schedule this week.
The pictures of the plague doctors on wikipedia are really creepy. Insanely creepy. Ugh. That is really bothering me. Thank you Zach for the link. The "doctors" weren't even really doctors have the time because the professionals were too scared likely to deal with the plague. Metal masks with beaks for smelly stuff and crystal eyes... Completely covered in black cloth. They don't even look human. It's depressing that scientists today still aren't certain about what was what during the Black Plague era. Stupid rats spread some of it. It's crazy to read about all the deaths or rather "depopulation" and then to think of today's bird flu. I wish it would rain and I could just stay inside all day and play guitar or sleep or something!
Wow it's two am. I think I've officially lost my mind.
Hurry up and rain!!
Cleanage
Today Mere and I cleaned our rooms. Mere's closet collapsed so she had a lot to work on. Haha! The whole time I've been listening to my new loves: M83, Iron & Wine, Broken Social Scene, and Mogwai. Really good stuff. I think I'm turning indie. There just comes a point where the shaggy hair cuts, high screeching about lost loves, tight jeans, and power chords just don't cut it. I need something different. I think I may have found it.
So anyway Mere has a lot of old clothes from my mom and other family members in her closet. She found the wicked ugly black top with two billion sparkles on it. It's absolutely hideous. She put it on with a silver belt, jean skirt, and her drum major boots and looked ridiculous as she pranced around the house.
We order a pizza and she offers to pick it up wearing her new outfit if Mom will bet her money. Mom said she'd give her $15. I said, "Mom are you really giving her 15 bucks for to wear that?" Mom: "No, it's for the pizza!" Mere grabbed the money and ran. I wish I had a picture! So ridiculous!! I feel so bad for the Pizza Hut employees!
Papercut Cut Cut Cut Me Upppp!
I got a papercut today. Ouchies.
So I've been up to a lots o stuff. Highlights include work, work, annnnnd work. No really the highlights are the Warped Tour, a new channel on tv, my adventures with DB, library, and the AFI mystery.
So the Warped Tour. Quite an experience. Glad I went, not sure I'd do it again. I'm so happy I got to see The Academy Is... and Motion City Soundtrack. lovelovelove. After a while the bands all started to sound alike and look alike. It's saddening. I kept hoping for something new and refreshing. Catch22 was the closest to that but it's not really new to me. What's even more depressing is the kids there. Gahhhh never in my entire life have I seen so many white people wearing black shirts with died hair wearing Vans or Chucks. Dearrrrr Lord! Oh and all the political propaganda touched a nerve with me. And my tire was incredibly flat. It was an adventure to remember!
So as most of you know I have over-the-air broadcast free poor person tv. But there's a new channel - a music video channel! Ahhh God smiles upon me!
Monday and Tuesday I had off work so I spent the night with Dreamboat and we made homemade cookies and threw a little pool party on Tuesday! It was so much fun. Now that I'm back at work, I really miss it. What an amazing friend. Too bad the rain ruined our pool party. I really enjoyed dinner with the Hogan's and our Bible study as well. Tuesday was a good day. ^_^
So I went to the library last week! I've actually been reading this summer. And believe it or not I've been FINISHING books. Actually FINISHING! Holy cow! This is rare for me, but I'm trying hard and reading non-stop. I'll listen some of my recent and current books later.
I've recently found admiration of AFI. I've always liked many of their old stuff. But I finally got their new cd and I'm liking it. I also spent a good four hours reading about their mystery stuff in the forums. Way tooooo coooool for skoooool!
Ok well I'm off to read Helter Skelter, which I started last semester and never finished. Dude that book is uber freaky at 3am when I'm alone and something raps on the window. I kinda miss my lil sis who is gone for another week. But oh wells. Good book. Later kids.
Disconnected Static
What is going on here? What am I doing? Who am I supposed to be? *sigh* Maybe vegging out let's my mind wander out of bounds a tad too far. But now that classes are done I think - oh just a few months and then back to learning. Woo. But what the heck do I do with my life in these next months? Make money, get a job. Yeah yeah. I just feel like whatever I do end up doing this summer will be a waste of time. But then I think - wait a sec, what do I do that's not a waste of time? What really matters? Certainly not the things I spend the most on. Maybe this summer I should reevaluate what I emphasize in my life. Get back on track with God. Stop wasting my time and figure out what I want to be. And who I want to be. Where I want to be. And who I want to be with. As for now I have no clue.
So one exam down, four to go. Gahhhh! Today was so bleh. Economics is not my thing. Grrness. At least now I have two days to study and rest before the storm arrives on Thursday. Four exams, two days. x_x
I'm worried about my grades this semester. Really. Last semester I had no idea what to expect but at least I did most of my homework even though I didn't have to. This time I didn't do much. Stupid me. I think I'm gonna have to pay for it. Gosh this is gonna suck. I wish I had more motivation to work hard. Why am I so lazy?!
Enough with the thinking. Back to reality and it's materialistic obsessions. So latest loves include 24 and concerts. The other weekend I started watching season four of 24. I'd never seen it before, but now I'm obsessed!! Awesome show! Can't wait to watch more. All that tension and drama is so great to veg out to. I swear you've never seen a show with this many guns and cell phones. I love to watch it and quote it in random places like the dinner table and the walmart dressing rooms, but seriously I can't stand killing and guns and violence. GRR. Every time I see real guns I think - what in the world - it's only going to take away a human soul - a life that someone gave birth to and loved. Anyways : concerts!
I went to the FOB concert with Vickie last Thursday! Adriana finally showed her face and came to school for the first time in months. It's really sad that she doesn't have internet anymore. So anyways she and Yanay got tickets at the last minute but had nosebleed seats. That concert was amazing. It was uncomfortable at times. It was hot and sweaty and loud. I have reallllly sensitive ears that were in pain. And there were smokers that irritated my asthma and allergies. And annoying ten year olds running around. But that was the most fun I've had in a looong time! Holy cow! Concerts! Music! So much fun man... No place else I'd rather be spending a Thursday night. Seriously. Live music is so great! <333
The first band From First to Last was ok. I have a few of their songs. Nothing impressive. Hawthorne Heights was only a tad better. At least they looked deacent wearing white. Then came my loves, the All-American Rejects! Awesomeness! Everything I wanted and more. Mmmmm. And then Fall Out Boy! Freaking ROCKED! WOO! Their latest album was my album of the summer last summer. When I was at work it got me through the day. Just singing some of those catchy lyrics in my head. Good times. So much more fun to hear it live and dance around. When they played Dance, Dance everyone went insane! Definitely the highlight of the show despite the overplay on the radio and MTV.
Oh yes, I have a RAZR now!! w00t! My first flip phone! First camera phone! Sweeet! Took some pics at the concert but they didn't come out too well. I spent all of Sunday hacking it instead of studying for my economics exam. Silly me. But I'm happy that I uploaded my own wallpaper and JEW ringtone! I also changed the skin and added sudoku and kakuro - my latest obsessions as well. This phone is perfect for me. Lovelovelove.
Ok my mood at the beginning of this post was so bleh. But I feel so much better now thinking about the music and concerts I will be experiencing this summer. I think I might even subscribe to last.fm for a month. Mmmm I love new music.

I apologize for the lack of posting to the few of you loyal readers out there. I just get distracted by stuff and forget to chronicle my life as me. *sigh* But alas I'm back!
So I got home from school today and our house keeper had brought her baby birds inside our house. They're just sooo cute! I had to take some pictures! Dang things wouldn't sit still when I tried to take a picture. They're two weeks old. Aww! So tiny. <3
I'm really not much of a bird fan. I kinda like eating them. Which reminds me of last Friday when I took Mere and Vicki to classes with me. Gave them a taste of college. They weren't too fond of my Folk Music class but they enjoyed the buffet, pool tables, the library computers, and the Starbucks. Gosh college life is great. Minus the whole going to class part. Wow - if that ain't the anthem of every college student out there. Ok I'm getting distracted. On with the story.
Vicki and I both got chicken ceasar salad but the chicken tasted funny. It was like "haha lol" in my mouth. No really, it was an interesting taste. (Sorry if the pun was over your head XP) So Vicki says "This isn't chicken! It's turkey! Trust me! I KNOW MY BIRDS!"
Ok bad story to share with pictures of adorable baby birds. But it was funny. That girl is a trip. Speaking of trips, I've been on a lot lately and I don't think I've blogged about em. Perhaps I will later.
GAHHH! I just dropped my keyboard and my spacebar fell off. When I put it back on, it got stuck down so I had a million spaces on here. But it's fiXorz'd now. We're good.
