i was clearing my wall of pictures off earlier tonight, and i found one in particular that made me laugh...

preteen camp, 2002. me, elizabeth, hannah, and laney worked in the kitchen for breakfast the first day in our swimsuits. with an apron tied in front, and an apron tied in back. that was priceless... good picture. good memory.

now back to studying... :(

(stolen from mr. reno)
got up at 11
went to lunch around 12:30 with heather jessie and christmas
scanned some pictures for jami
studied for personal finance out in the quad with sarah, jenny, sarah, matt, and a girl i don't know (laura i think?) that was a good time. we laughed a lot! :)
had the whole 'experience' with sara vanosky... that was hilarious! :)
went to jansons for awhile (played the sims, ate ramen (RAY-MEN) noodles, watched them play baseball)
came back here in time for sara and kristin's party, had some fun at that
---have some good lyle quotes from it!!
"i'm being raped! its not the first time, and it won't be the last!"
-lyle nussbaum

"you're mennonite, you don't need to shave"
-lyle

"i shaved this morning. it grows fast!"
-lyle

"lyle and i are leaving. together!"
-me
"yeah we're leaving together!!"
-lyle

now i'm scanning more pictures for jami and studying for personal finance. blech. i might go to the kegger at 9, i'm not sure yet
tonight=gooooooooooood night. :)

janson came and got me around 10. we went to his dad's and talked for awhile, got stuff figured out. everything is ok there. :) i love him so much... he's so good to me. i don't know what i would do without him. i'm so thankful that i have him in my life!!!!!!!!
while we were talking, jen text messaged his cell and wanted to go to wal-mart, so we got gas, headed to louisville to pick her up, then went to the alliance wal-mart. we bought some really random stuff. like hot dogs. and angel food cake. lol. it was so much fun though. we were there for awhile, then we went back to jen's and ate our food. then me and jen put jansons hair in little rubber bands all over his head. much fun. we got some good pictures of that!! :) that was so much fun, jen is a lot of fun!! :)
we left there around 2, cuz jen had to be up at 7. i started taking janson's hair out on the way back to malone, and then finished it in the parking lot.
this may sound sappy, but it was hard for me to get out of his car. i just wanted to stay near him, i didn't want to leave. i've become such a sap in the last 3 months!!!

now i'm gonna go to bed. and not get up till LAAAAAAAAAATE cuz i don't have any classes tomorrow!! yay!!!!!!!!!

i know what you're all thinking.... "again?" but i like this one....
i've really been a slacker about updating this... but i've been freaking busy.

monday
worked on my english portfolio during and after personal finance, cut out a few fun pictures of a gnome for friends :), skipped comp 2 cuz i found out that one of my finals was the next day, finished my 10 page paper that i had deleted, wrote my art and music paper, typed up a study guide for new testament, went to jansons, went to giant eagle and starbucks with janson, watched cry-baby at jansons house (yay i love that movie!!! it definitely reminds me of daela, back in the day!), and talked with him for awhile. then i proceeded to lock myself out of my dorm, around 3 in the morning. the security guards wouldn't let me in without waking up my RD, so i was just gonna stay at jansons. after much drama and such, krystian bender ended up still being awake and she let me in.

tuesday
after about 3 and a half hours of sleep, i went to art and music. studied for new testament during it. fell asleep for an hour and a half after it. typed up my essay, studied some more, then took my final. i think i got a B on it, which is ok with me. i took another semi-nap in the afternoon, but mostly just did nothing. later that night, like at 11, janson came and surprised me (he told me he was feeling sick, and like 10 minutes later is outside my window throwing pebbles at it---and if you know me, you know that that was really sweet of him to do) and we went to taco bell. we hung out in the barn for awhile, until i had the worst mood swing known to man, and almost ruined the only really good thing that i have in my life (ie my relationship with janson). i'm not gonna get into that, cuz i'm still really really upset about it. i got about 4 hours of sleep last night.

today
went to personal finance, came back and finished my paper, went to lunch with my homeschooler and weed whacker (sp?), and reno, nick, sara v, krystian, and a guy i don't really know named chris. then i went to comp and turned in my paper and picked up my portfolio. now i'm going to sleep until my 2 o clock class, because i'm so drained. i was so stressed this week, so between that, getting about 8 hours total sleep the entire week so far, and being so emotionally drained last night (completely and totally my fault....), i'm exhausted. i'm going to sleep. then going to class. and then going back to sleep....

and the retard of the year award goes to.....me!!! oh yay!!

i'll explain when i'm more coherent....

Monday, April 26, 2004

more tangents.... cuz i'm going crazy.

i want some cheetos. all i really want is a freaking bag of cheetos. tessa ate caryn's, and i was like "yum cheetos!" so i go out to the machine to buy myself a bag.... AND THERE AREN'T ANY!!! i just stood in front of the machine, staring in disbelief. so i settled for some chex mix. and fritos. fritos rhyme with cheetos!! but somehow its just not the same. i think i'm going to make a big huge sign that says WILL WORK FOR CHEETOS and stand out on 62. or maybe 77. or maybe outside of giant eagle. cuz i really want some cheetos. i think i'm going to dream about cheetos tonight. and every other night. until i get some cheetos... poor little me and not having cheetos. *sigh*

and i'm not the only one going crazy!! my roommate is too... i get back from world civ, and she's sitting at her desk....with the drawer in her lap. she's like "is this supposed to happen??" i asked her how long it'd been like that, and she informed me she'd been sitting like that for half an hour. only caryn.... so she tries to put it back in, and then finds out that she broke off part of the desk. don't we all love her???

going crazy in woolman 101.....


cheeeeeeeeeeeeetos rhymes with friiiiiiiiiiiiiiitos!! mwahahahahahahahahahahaha
mwahahahahahaha i think i'm going crazy. or something like that. and my printer hates me. its out to get me. i think it wants to kill me in my sleep. maybe i should just never sleep, then it can't kill me. i can keep my eyes on it at all times. and if it tries anything shifty, i'll bash it. bash it into tiny little pieces. and this printer is not going to printer heaven. ohhhhh no. not this printer. its headed straight to PRINTER HELL!!!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
i just ate this tuna thingy that my mom gave me awhile ago. i think it was really cool, so i'm posting about it...

it had a package of tuna, a package of mayo, and a package of relish. and a spoon to mix it all together. and then crackers to eat it on. and a napkin to wipe my mouth. and get this, its the best part... a mint for when i'm done!! isn't that cool???


hahahhaahahhahahahahahahaha ok so stress level is through the roof right now, can you tell?

i have a paper to finish before tomorrow
a 4 page paper to write before tomorrow
a 4 page paper to write before wednesday
and a final thats tomorrow that i thought wasn't until next week (that i have the option of writing the essay for beforehand)....

al;sdkfj;lakwjr;lawkejr i'm going crazy! weeeeeeeeeeee
sometimes the things that i complain and worry about are so freaking stupid. i'm really selfish at times. i have no right to complain when there are other people who have it a heck of a lot worse than me, and hardly say anything. i'm sorry...
ok so at the demands of my homeschooler, lol.....

thursday
my mom came, we ate lunch here at malone, we went to the mall so i could exchange my shoes at hot topic, we went to see kelli and my mom bought a necklace, we went to best buy so i could get janson his b-day present, we went to milk and honey, then came back here and i packed up some stuff and put it in her van. then she left. i went to tessa's house for dinner with roomie, RA, chelsie, and charity and it was definitely a good time. her house is really awesome. its huge and wooden and its just great...
random tangent: tessa's parents have been married for 22 years. in those 22 years, they've never been apart for more than 8 days. and yet, they're still so in love. tessa says they make out in front of her friends. thats what i want. i want that kind of love some day. one of my biggest fears is being my parents... tessa and i talked about it on the way back from her house in her sweet car with caryn sleeping in the backseat. it was a good talk, with some good dashboard playing in the background. :) its kinda weird that we never really talked to her last semester, and now caryn's rooming with her next year. its good tho, i'm glad that we got to know her.
anyway... we had a suite meeting after that, cuz rachel was on campus. the 6 of us sat in chrissy's room and talked and such. next year should be a good'un. :)
then i hung out here for awhile, and then went to bed.

friday
got up around 10:30 or so, had a library date with cass to do our english, went to lunch with heat[h]er, went to world civ, took a shower and did other stuff, then went to janson's. we hung around there, went to blimpie's, hung around there, played the sims, watched part of the wedding singer, until i dropped. then i went to sleep.

saturday
didn't sleep well, off and on all night it seemed. my back hurt for some reason. i don't remember what time i got up. janson and i finished watching the wedding singer, and i don't remember what else.... lol. we went out to see his dad in the afternoon. i had never met his dad before, so i was really nervous, but it was ok. then we got taco bell and headed back to his house. we watched some of the first season of the chapelle (sp?) show. entertaining... i don't remember what else... lol. i went to bed around 3 or so.

today
i woke up around 11:30, janson came in his room, laid down in his bed, and proceeded to go back to sleep until about 2:15. in that time, i wrote a paper, hung out with josh and jake, and watched like an episode and a half of punk'd. we watched punk'd some more after janson woke up, then got some food. then watched an episode of stargate. he's only seen the movie, pilate episode, and one episode after that.... slacker!! :) hmmm what next? i don't remember. i played the sims for awhile by myself. then at 10 we watched 'brave new girl' on abc family because i wanted to see it. i love abc family original movies. :) i also downloaded a freaking crapload of oldies songs. i have 2 cds that i burned over there of 25 oldies each... and thats not nearly all!! lol. i'm a freeloader of janson's kazaa...

now i'm sitting here. i should be sleeping. or doing my english portfolio, due tomorrow, barely worked on. or doing my art and music paper, due tuesday, not started. or my english research paper, due wednesday, not started. and i believe i have a quiz in world civ tomorrow and wednesday... BLECH!!! i'm getting really sick of school. but at the same time, its almost over, and i don't want that to happen. i don't want to have classes, but i don't want to go home...

Thursday, April 22, 2004

so the concert last night?? yeah it was awesome. we only got a little lost on the way. and that was probly my fault... lol. i didn't really like the first band, sleeping at last, but the second band, the format, was pretty good. yellowcard? freaking awesome. wow. yeah. it was awesome. :) we stayed for maybe half of something corporate, and then we decided to go. janson wanted to beat the traffic, and the environment (keep in mind i'm a little sheltered mennonite girl who had never been to a concert that wasn't christian before, lol) was starting to get to me, so i didn't mind. i like something corporate and everything, but seeing yellowcard was enough for me. :) we went to denny's when we got back cuz we were hungry, and then i got back here around 1 and in bed around 1:30.

now i'm gonna start going through stuff, cuz my momma's gonna be here soon and she's bringing boxes!!!

yay to awesome concerts and even more awesome boyfriends. :)

Wednesday, April 21, 2004

i decided something just now while i was listening to one of the many songs that i downloaded last weekend on janson's kazaa.

'On the Street Where You Live' from My Fair Lady is the ultimate stalker song of all time... check this out.


I have often walked down this street before,
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before;
All at once am I several stories high,
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.

Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you live.

And oh, the towering feeling,
Just to know somehow you are near;
The over-powering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear.

People stop and stare; they don't bother me,
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be.
Let the time go by, I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.

then i slacked off and did nothing for a few hours. watched tv. talked online. cleaned up my stuff in the room. talked to my fiance justin. lol. skipped dinner cuz i didn't feel like walking up there.
ali came out around 6:45 and we left to go see mystic river at the dollar theater. we missed the first couple minutes (as usual. we're always late to movies.. lol) it was the first time i'd ever seen an R rated movie in a theater. lol. i'm such a dork. i'm 19, and i finally see one... i mean i've seen them before, just not in the theater. anyway. it was a pretty good movie. a little creepy in some parts, but good.
so ali and i get back to malone after our forray into the real world. we notice reno playing volleyball. so we sit in ali's car and make fun of him. then, when it starts to freaking POUR DOWN RAIN, we decide, "hmmm lets get out of the car now!" so ali joins the volleyball game, and tracey stands and watches. for about 15 minutes. i was so wet and cold and my bladder was full, but it was much fun. :)
now i'm off to go slack some more... cuz thats what i'm best at!! :)

Rod Stewart--Have I Told You Lately

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
You fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

For the mornin' sun and all it's glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort, too.
You fill my life with laughter, somehow you make it better,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

There's a love that's divine, and it's yours and it's mine
Like the sun.
And at the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
You fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

There's a love that's divine, and it's yours and it's mine
Like the sun.
And at the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one

And have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
You fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

Take away all my sadness, you fill my life with gladness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

Take away all my sadness, you fill my life with gladness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
ok so i'm a bit behind....

friday
janson picked me up, we hung out at his house and did the usual (watching tv and playing the sims, haha).

saturday
mom and dad came out to malone around 1:30 to pick us up, and we headed to amish door in wilmot to meet my grandparents and aunts and uncles from various sides of the family for my birthday. that was ok. nothing really embarrassing happened, lol, so thats good. janson survived meeting my family. so after that, dad made come comment, and we ended up going to visit some relatives on his side. we went to his cousin elma's house, but she wasn't there (that was sad. i haven't seen elma since my graduation party!!). so we went over to my dad's uncle levi's house, and talked to him and my dad's aunt edna for a bit. it was just amusing to me, cuz janson has lived in canton all his life, and seeing him sitting in an amish household.. yeah it just made me laugh. :) after that we just went back to his house. saturday night, i was really hot, and decided to go outside. it was like after midnight, and here i am, outside on the trampoline by myself... lol. janson came out after a bit, and we stayed out till it started to rain too hard to be out. it was really cool though. it was so cool outside compared to the hotness of janson's room.

sunday
woke up earlier than i wanted to, half-worked on my paper (but mostly just downloaded music and such on janson's kazaa, lol). i spent most of the morning/early afternoon in front of the computer. we went to get chicken teryiaki (sp?? i have no idea... lol) at the mall, and i bought a new pair of chucks (bright green! yay! not delight-green. just bright green. lol). while at the mall, i saw amelia miller in hot topic (yay!!!) and i saw sara my love!!! i haven't seen her for a reeeeeally long time!! :) then we went to milk and honey. yummmm. :) while at the mall, i saw amelia miller in hot topic (yay!!!) and i saw sara my love!!! i haven't seen her for a reeeeeally long time!! :) we went back to his house, where i wrote more paper while we watched the extended version of robin hood prince of thieves that i got for my birthday. i love that movie!! :)

today
personal finance was boring. as usual.
chapel was ok. parts of it were really good, and parts of it sucked. only one chapel left!
lunch after chapel is always good.

now i'm going to tear myself away from listening to rod stewart :) and go to composition... yippee...
just when things are starting to look up, i plummet back down to the bottom again.

[deleted a really depressed rant]

Friday, April 16, 2004

yesterday was a good day. :) everyone was great. awwww i love friends!! :) thanks everyone!!

janson and i went to see big fish last night. it was pretty good. i'm not gonna run out and buy it, but it was good.

janson got me the collector's edition monty python and the holy grail for my b-day. :) i'm excited to watch it, i haven't had the chance yet.


today has been good mostly. i woke up around 11:30, ali called and said she was coming out to see me. about half an hour later, ali and david are standing outside my dorm... i was like "david you can't be in here... wait a minute. david???" lol. it was good. i went to lunch with heat[h]er while ali and david just chilled, then i hung out with ali and david for a few hours. we went to jansons and got my car (yay for david's convertible!!!), got like halfway to massillon when david randomly turned around and went back to market street in canton for starbucks (it was funny), then we went to lowe's in massillon. my car stalled when we were almost there. it wouldn't start back up. it wasn't fun. :( we were in lowe's for a bit, then we sat out in the parking lot on our cars for over an hour, just talking. it was good stuff.

now i'm working on my paper. i have a sentence done... lol. can we say slacker??

Thursday, April 15, 2004

so i got out of bed around 10:30 today. i'd woken up once at 9:30 cuz some lady in the alumni office called me, and then kelli called at 10:30, which is good cuz i needed to get out of bed. so i go to the bathroom cuz i'd had to pee for like 4 hours but refused to get up, and on 4 of the 5 stalls is this hideous picture that i took of myself awhile back on jami's digital camera. i love my roommate and my friends. :) i was like "oh my gosh...." and a buddy was walking past and came in and asked if i was ok, so i just explained to her that the picture was me, and it was my birthday, and she laughed and told me happy birthday. i got laughed at by a buddy!!! lol

ok now i need to get dressed. and eat the brownie that jenny gave me! :)
so its my birthday!!!! i'll turn 19 in about 2 hours!! woohoo!!! :)

roommate drama already... it isn't even next year yet... lol

janson and i went to wal-mart tonight. the one in massillon. i don't really remember why. caryn told me i wasn't allowed to come in the room (more on that later, lol), so we left. i didn't buy much--some yarn to finish off tim's blanket (finally!! lol), a pair of flip flops, some pringles, and those hershey shake thingies that stevie the stud and i always buy at that wal-mart on our random middle of the night wal-mart trips. then we went to IHOP, cuz we were hungry. i consumed much sugar in the strawberry syrup. just ask janson... mwa hahahaha i was so/am so freaking hyper!!!

ok so i get back to the room. and i open the door. and am attacked by crepe paper, all over the entire room. especially over my bed and computer. roomie covered the room. it was hilarious. i just stood there and laughed. its great. i love my roomie! :) thanks karn!!!

now i'm gonna go shooooooooower

Wednesday, April 14, 2004

oh----and caryn and i have definitely been listening to grits a lot. she got one of their cds over break. yeah. its good stuff!! :)
so yesterday i did the most retarded thing in the entire world--i accidentally deleted my 10 page paper for new testament. yeah. i cried. i had 9 pages done. i have to do it all over again.

cat scan results are ok--i don't have a tumor or anything, lol. so thats good, but at the same time its not. cuz now they have no idea whats wrong. i'm going to the neurologist in a few weeks. blech. i don't want to.

leah took me to dinner last night. it was so much fun!!! i forgot how easy it is to talk to her. we had an awesome time, i don't think we stopped talking at all the whole time we were together. i love leah. she is my oldest and bestest! :)

then i went over to jansons and wrote 2 papers. then i slacked off on studying for personal finance to play the sims. haha. but thats ok. :)

today i took my personal finance test, went to chapel (which was a good one!!! yay for good chapels!!), ate lunch with sarah and matt, got made fun of by matt (as usual haha), oooooo!! was informed by matt that nick bought the second season of stargate. woohoo!!!! before comp 2, i got an email from dr. johnson telling me to take as long as i need to finish my paper, so thats good. i'm gonna have it for him on tuesday. comp 2 was short as usual. i played ff7 for a little bit before world civ, then i took a 20 minute nap. world civ was ok. now i'm sitting here (listening to plus one haha) contemplating what i want to do... i was gonna go see big fish tonight, but no one wanted to go with me. well ermine wanted to but he couldn't cuz of tennis. so we're gonna go tomorrow. who wants to go see big fish with me and ermine tomorrow at 7??? c'mon!! it'll be like a birthday party for me!! haha. i think i'm gonna get some work done on my paper now... hopefully crank out a page or two...
i shouldn't feel like this. i have no reason to feel like this. and yet, i still feel like this almost every night. tonight its just worse than its ever been before. i can't stop crying. i've spent a lot of time in the last half hour or so reading old AIM conversations that are saved in my deadAIM log. i feel like i'm being lied to sometimes. and i hate myself a lot. but oh well. i'll suck it up and plaster on a smile so everyone thinks that i'm ok. so here goes.... :)

got up around 10, was lazy for like 2 hours (watched more two towers, played SNES for a bit, had an encounter with a dead mouse [lol], packed up my car). mom and i went down to 344 tire to pay for my car (so freaking expensive... its gonna take me awhile to pay it back to my mom), then i showered and such. we went to the DQ to get cheesecake blizzards, and christy took her break with us. she's gonna come to six flags with us. woohoo!! :) her, janson, and i are gonna get tim on a roller coaster. he's 15, its about time... haha. mom and tim went to boardman, and i went home to finish getting ready to go. i left a little before 2. stopped on the way to get gas, to go to AAA to get a new road atlas, and at the license bureau to get my tag. more freaking expensive. lol. so my car stalled 4 or 5 times on my way, all in alliance. i don't understand. jeff has looked at it more than once, and says there isn't anything wrong with it. but tell me that there's nothing wrong with my car when i'm sitting in the left lane at a green light in alliance with 6 cars behind me with a stalled car... yeah... not fun.
i got to jansons a little before 3 (wow i really must speed if i can make 3 stops, stall my car 5 times, and still make the trip in an hour... lol). it was so good to be with him again. i mean yeah, it was only for a few days, but i really missed him a lot over break. especially after my car being retarded on the way, all i wanted was to be with him. so i was definitely there for like 11 hours, minus a trip to malone to drop off my stuff and to get some food. i was there until 2 this morning. we played the sims for awhile on playstation. haha its so addicting... just when i start to not be so addicted to the computer version, he gets it for playstation, and its a 2 player game!! woohoo!! lol. we stopped playing when sarah bernier called me. i love her!!! it was sooooo awesome to talk to her, cuz it had been waaaaaay too long. she's not working at camp this summer :( but she's gonna try to come out here for a weekend, and i'm gonna try to go out there for a weekend. so it's all great. :)
so when i got back here after 2, i had to get all the junk off my bed without waking up my roommate. i think i succeeded. although i definitely slept with some crap on my bed... haha. and i didn't make it, either. i just slept without any sheets. i was so freezing... lol. i also had to re-pierce my eyebrow before i went to bed. can we say OUCH??? oh my gosh it hurt so bad. the top had completely closed up, so i had to go in from the bottom. it bled so much. it still is really freaking sore. i should probly clean it out... but i can't remember where i put my antibacterial stuff last night. all well.

today
after going to bed at 3, i got up at 7:40 for my 8 o clock class. much fun... lol. i struggled to stay awake all through art and music (and succeeded, for the most part! yay! lol), then made an appointment with my nurse/doctor lady to get my cat scan results. 3:50 today...

now i need to unpack my crap cuz i haven't yet. i'm going to dinner with leah tonight for my birthday!! yayay!! :)



[2 days till my birthday. give me money. buy me presents. :)]

iwannacLuz: c'mon, be mennonite on this and take advantage of your resources...
relientkbandgeek: my resources???
relientkbandgeek: mennonites probly don't like ghandi
iwannacLuz: he was a peace-nick!
relientkbandgeek: but he wasn't a mennonite
relientkbandgeek: was he even a christian?
relientkbandgeek: lol
iwannacLuz: but he was still all about peace...
relientkbandgeek: lol
iwannacLuz: you should be thrilled to promote the mennonite spirit in your paper. and using the mennonite work ethic to get it done well before it is due, with a potluck afterwards!
relientkbandgeek: yay potluck!!!! :-D
relientkbandgeek: and then, to celebrate the potluck....
relientkbandgeek: a HYMN SING!!!!!!!!!!!
relientkbandgeek: WOOOOOT!!!!
iwannacLuz: yes!! perfect mennonite tradition!

i love my homeschooler :)
even though i'm at home on a dial-up connection and one phone line, i'm still a post whore. just fyi.

since the last time i posted, i...
wrote another half page on my paper (bringing the grand total to 6 pages)
slept for 2 hours
played rusty's fellowship of the ring computer game
played yoshi's island for awhile on SNES
talked to rusty for 10 or 15 minutes on the phone
watched sue thomas f.b.eye with my family
now i'm talking to janson, tkach, and working on my paper. sort of. but mostly just talking to janson. :)
i don't have to get up early tomorrow anymore, cuz i told my mom i didn't really want to go to the movie, since i've seen it 3 times already in theaters, and will probly see it more when it gets to movies 4 in canton.
so that means i'm gonna leave here around 2 or so to head back to canton.... :)

thats all for now...
i went to bed waaaay too late last night, considering that i had to be up at 7 AM. but i definitely didn't wake up till 7:30, and was like "oh crap... we're leaving in 15 minutes." lol. but it was all good.
church was ok. i really don't like this church, but all well. i survived going there for one sunday. and i think my mom and little brother are basically going to start going to my church now, so thats cool.
we got back here and watched a bit of the second disc of two towers appendices, ate easter dinner, tim dad and i played LotR monopoly, and then tim and i watched some more appendices. and i painted my toe nails. how exciting... lol. now i'm going to write some more of my paper... i have about 5 and a half pages done... yippee!! lol
relientkbandgeek: what if i had extremely long nose hair, and it was impossible to cut it?
Then Janson said: I'd be a little disgusted
relientkbandgeek: and it got boogers caught in it all the time?
Then Janson said: but... I love you
Then Janson said: lol
Then Janson said: I love you for you
relientkbandgeek: green ones
Then Janson said: lol
relientkbandgeek: green furry ones
Then Janson said: i love you
relientkbandgeek: gigantic green furry ones
relientkbandgeek: with little booger colonies living in each gigantic booger
relientkbandgeek: and they were alive
Then Janson said: lol
relientkbandgeek: and they ran around all over my long, uncuttable nose hair
Then Janson said: I love you
Then Janson said: well...
Then Janson said: I would really love you
Then Janson said: because not only would you be my girlfriend, you could bring me money. I would put u in a sideshow as the booger woman
relientkbandgeek: gee. thanks hun. sideshow. yup. you love me.
relientkbandgeek: what if the boogers rebelled against you and attacked you??
Then Janson said: they're tiny little booger people
relientkbandgeek: but there are millions of them!!!
Then Janson said: lol
Then Janson said: I love you
relientkbandgeek: they could clog your throat and choke you!!
relientkbandgeek: and at this point, i have no control over them. they're so mad at you for making them a sideshow that they just don't listen to me
Then Janson said: lol
Then Janson said: you are really hyper
Then Janson said: and I really love you
relientkbandgeek: i love you too
relientkbandgeek: but my boogers don't
relientkbandgeek: they're very unhappy with you

Saturday, April 10, 2004

my car is cleaned---on the inside. my head hurt too bad to wash the outside.
my laundry is done.
my mom and i dyed some eggs when she got home from work (i was supposed to have them done by then, but i didn't want to do them by myself, so i waited for her. lol)
i have 3 pages written on my 10 page paper.
i'm a huge jerk most of the time.
my mom and i watched jesus christ superstar, just like we do every easter. the new version tho. its better than the old one.
my head hurts really freaking bad. and there isn't anything i can do about it.
now back to my paper.... way to be productive tracey!
i have a lot to do today. gotta clean my car, inside and out--cuz its getting pretty disgusting on the inside. gotta wash my bedding. gotta write my english paper that was due last monday. gotta start my 10 page paper for new testament that i haven't worked on at all, and its due thursday... and i have a paper about ghandi due on wednesday. i'm such a freaking slacker!! i'd like to finish the appendices for two towers, but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen. i've only watched about 2 and a half hours, and i know there's a lot left.

ok off to maybe get a little lunch and start getting stuff done... mom'll be home from work soooooon.
i hurt. and not in a physical way.
my laundry's all done, except for my bedding. i never found my eyebrow ring: i currently have fishing line in my eyebrow, and it bled like a mother to get it there. but thats ok, i'm not gonna tell that story...
tim, dwight, and matt worked on some ping pong launcher out back, and i finished two towers, and then started on the appendices. mmmmm.... :) i made dinner, picked mom up from work, changed my clothes (i had to look nice... blech... lol) and we all went to my church for the easter service. it was really good. i ate cookies with taylor and jordan afterwards... haha. those girls are so much fun. they're so cute! :)
afterwards we went and got my car (there was no bill inside it, jeff said he'd leave it in there. all well, mom might pay it for me!!!! that would mean i wouldn't get a birthday present from her, but i think i'd rather have her pay for this than get a present). it was just a bad starter, by the way. and its all better now. i went over to wal-mart to see if they had any eyebrow rings, but they didn't. and i don't feel like going all the way to boardman. so if this fishing line doesn't keep it open, its just gonna close up. i don't know that i care, either. i'm tired of dealing with it. lol.
i've had a headache all day. oh well...
tomorrow i have a lot of crap to do. i'm gonna clean my car, inside and out. i have to wash my blankets and such. and i have a 10 page paper due on thursday.... blech. the rest of my break is gonna suck, basically. lol. i have all that to do tomorrow, i have to go to LMC (leetonia mennonite church) for easter sunday (blech blech blech!!!), work on homework sunday, pack up on monday. monday afternoon will be good tho. i think mom, tim, and i are gonna go to the 12:30 show of return of the king at movies 8, cuz mom hasn't seen it yet. i'll probly drive seperately from them, and then just leave from there after the movie is over.
but anyway. enough rambling. i'm done now...

Friday, April 09, 2004

i got up at 7:30 today. that sucked, cuz i didn't go to bed till 2:30. i'm such a slacker... lol. mom and i took my car down to 344 tire, but jeff wasn't there. so i stuck a note in his door, left my keys inside the door of my car, and then drove my mom to work. i have the minivan for the day. pimpin... lol. all well, i'm not planning on going anywhere till i go to pick my mom up from work at 6:15.
i definitely went back to bed when i got home, and didn't get up till 11. now i'm waiting for my first load of laundry to be done so i can take a shower (i have no clean clothes... haha). my eyebrow ring is lost somewhere in my bed. i can't find it. my piercing is going to close up if i don't find it... i really need to get one that has TWO balls... lol.

i'm going to go play zoo tycoon now. haha. every time i come home, i'm like ZOO TYCOON WOOHOO!! :)

yesterday
ok so giving blood definitely took 2 hours. it takes me about 20 minutes to pump out my blood (i'm slow, i know... lol), but man did i have to wait freaking forever to even get that far!! but i felt ok afterwards, which is exciting. i decided not to go to work, and i didn't have to go to room draw cuz chrissy did. we're (me, heather, jessie, chrissy, kim, and rachel) in college hill 206 next year. thats on the main floor, and one of the first rooms i guess. yay! that sounds good to me! :) janson came over for a bit, then we went to his house. we watched the stargate pilot. jansons getting into stargate. :) well, i'm forcing janson to get into stargate, lol. i think i fell asleep around 1:30 or so. i must have, cuz i woke up a few hours later and the room was all dark and i was the only one in it, lol.

today
i woke up at 6. i have no idea why, but i did. and i couldn't fall back asleep for the life of me. i got up around 6:30 to go to the bathroom, then turned on jansons monitor and sat on the computer. he musta heard me, cuz he came in at 7. we talked for awhile (he informed me that someone tried to break into my car at 5 am, but his dog and his mom stopped them. that makes me very sad. stupid people!!! i love my car. i need my car!!!), then around 8 or 9, he decided to make me breakfast. scrambled eggs, bacon, and an english muffin. can you tell that i'm spoiled?? lol. and i got to watch xena warrior princess while i ate! yay for xena! lol. the next thing i remember after that is janson poking me at 1:30 in the afternoon. lol. we both fell asleep. we watched tv for awhile (double dare, and super sloppy double dare. haha. it was great), and then went to the mall to get lunch. we went and talked to kelli at the remember me stand (their jewelry is pretty awesome! if i was rich... haha), and then just walked around going in various stores for awhile. i don't know why, but i started feeling rather sick after awhile. like really dizzy, like i was going to pass out. it wasn't fun. but i tried to ignore it. then we went back to his house, and after a bit i headed to malone to pack up my stuff. my car had so much stuff in it... lol. i went back to jansons for awhile and watched indenity with him, and then i headed back here. i got here around 10:40. my car is all unpacked and ready to go to see jeff (my mechanic) bright and early tomorrow morning. oh boy oh boy!!! hopefully i can fall back asleep when i get home....
i'm home!!

Wednesday, April 07, 2004

i just sat in the quad with delight on a quilt for like 45 minutes. it was great. i love delight!! :)

now i'm gonna go give blood, cuz lyle just called and he's going up now. woohoo for giving blood! lol

i'm in a really good mood now, and i don't really know why. i just am. :)
yesterday
ok.... so i got up and went to my 8 o clock class, then hung out in my room for a little bit talking to heather gunsalus and ali/ali's away message, and yeah.. just read me and ali. well me and ali's away message. then ali. but anyway.. lol

relientkbandgeek (9:30:45 AM): up, you don't fit the rolling yells. down, juggernauts hit other indians. uzbekistan hates jerusalem. bedtime for dad. thank you. (thats my interpretation of your away message.)

monogram1 (10:22:09 AM): you are so my favorite
relientkbandgeek (10:22:13 AM): i'm glad
relientkbandgeek (10:22:14 AM): :-)
monogram1 (10:22:31 AM): :-)

monogram1 (10:30:56 AM): i had a dream that you called my after your thing
monogram1 (10:31:29 AM): and you told me you had headaches b/c you were an alien and your home planet was telepathically calling you home, but you had forgotten how to use your telepathy cuz you'd been on Earth for so long

after that, janson came and hung out with me. i called mom to get imogene's address and got some really sucky news about a friend of mine from home. :( then we went to the mailroom so i could mail a card and see if janson could open his mailbox, but he couldn't remember the number or combination. lol. i ordered our tickets to the yellowcard/something corporate concert on the 21st. :) my mom came around 12:20 or so, and we left for the hospital soon after that. the cat scan itself was really fast, like 5 minutes. so i walk back into the waiting room, and my mom is holding an envelope full of pictures. i'm glad that it didn't take long, or who knows what mom would have told/showed him.... haha. she did give him a picture from my senior year of me and tim in our band uniforms. how nice. lets just say if he leaves his wallet unattended, he won't have the picture anymore.... lol. so anyway. we went and got quizno's for lunch, and went to a park to eat cuz i thought it was nice out. or it was freezing cuz of the wind, and yeah... i'm just dumb sometimes thats all. so then my mom decides that we have to go to target so i can buy bras. with janson there. sometimes, my mom...... lol. we ended up at dsw and famous footwear too, cuz my mom thinks she needs more shoes than she already has. i just thought it was funny that my mom had janson drive her van since he knew where we were going, and my mom only sort-of did. it just made me laugh. :) then mom left and i went to jansons. i ended up sleeping for awhile, cuz i was tired. but then thats what i usually end up doing, cuz i'm a slacker... we finished watching stargate, and then went out to milk and honey and then to movies 4 cuz i wanted to see cheaper by the dozen. awww it was really good! :) i love good movies. i want that one now. janson and i got into a big discussion about the number of kids we want. it was really funny. :) then we spent like an hour asking questions like "what was your favorite movie as a kid" and such. it was fun. i love my boy. :) then i came back here and was attacked on my answering machine by stokes, davis, and reno. then i went to bed.

today
skipped personal finance (again.. lol). went to chapel (yay for singing hymns in chapel!! i wish i had been sitting with lyle!!). ate lunch with the same people i always eat lunch with, plus or minus a few. then was informed by matt and reno that i was in their group for a project due in composition today that i didn't know about, and it was due in about an hour. reno wanted to give blood. so we did our project while reno was pumping away, lol. it was funny. those 2 make me laugh.

now i'm doing nothing until my class at 2. roomie is gone for easter, so i have the room to myself until i decide to leave tomorrow. its really empty, cuz she took a lot of her stuff home with her. its sad... :(

ok i'm done. i need drugs, my head hurts.
if i wasn't so tired, i would update. but today was a big day, and i got like 3 hours of sleep last night and an hour nap at jansons earlier. i'm tired. i'm going to bed now.

i met him tonight.... in case you didn't catch it the first time... :)
so tonight was a good one. :)
i went over to janson's around 7 or so. then we went to wal-mart cuz i wanted to buy pop-tarts (i ended up with pop-tarts, popcorn, candy bars, a box of crackers, and 2 dvds--forces of nature and the special edition stargate). so while we're looking at dvds, matt thiessen walked past me. i was like "a;slkdfj;lawkejraw;lekrja;wlker" lol. (i know i said i hate relient k. but old habits die hard....) janson started to follow him, and i was like "i'm going to get pop-tarts.." i looked back and they were talking, but i just kept walking. janson came and found me a few minutes later, and was like "yeah we talked, and he told me that he was going to buy some shampoo if you wanted to meet him." so janson forced me to get over my fear and go talk to him. :) so yeah. i talked. to matt thiessen. for like 5 minutes. i shook his hand. and stuff. he told me to talk to him when he's at malone. ha. yeah right. like i'd ever have the guts. lol. he'd never remember me anyway. but yeah... it was awesome. i was like shaking. janson was making fun of me. but yeah... *tracey crosses off another thing on list of things to do before she dies* :)

then we went to jimmy john's (i was hungry) and starbucks. i know, i drove from the strip all the way to the market ave starbucks. cuz i like it better. lol. then we went back to jansons and watched forces of nature. i love that movie. and it was so freaking cheap!! (5.50!!) a little while later, i realized that i had forgotten my keys. again. luckily, liz was online. so janson IMed her and she said she could come let me in. my car is at janson's cuz i was really tired and didn't want to drive. i love my boy a lot. he's so good to me.... :)

so my CT scan is on tuesday....
