i didn't hang out with the down-the-hall girls yesterday, cuz ess called at 9 to tell me that cass is sick. but i have a lot of free days next week, and i'll find out about evenings tomorrow when i call and check the schedule at chick-fil-a.
butttt, i did make a milestone in my life. i went to the movies for the first time by myself, haha. i really wanted to see brothers grimm, and brit was going to the expensive movies w/her dad and brother, so i went to the cheap seats by myself. i felt like such a nerd, haha.
after the movie was over i called b-rit [with my mom's prepaid minute cell phone, because she has one now, and it's kinda funny], and she was almost home i think, but turned around and came back to boardman. we went to caribou coffee and hung out [with my librarian, haha. but anyone from leetonia knows that paula raneri is a lot more than just a librarian, she's amazing].
we sat out in brit's car after caribou closed and talked, then we decided to go to her house. and her dog is great, i like her. haha. so i hung out there for a couple hours, and watched her family christmas on dvd and took great pictures, among other things.
today i was lazy. i watched the tony danza show this morning, which i do pretty much at least once a week, especially when i'm home. i love that show. i was home by myself, so i didn't feel motivated to do much. i talked to my wifey on the phone for awhile, and made plans to go to lunch tomorrow, possibly joined by christy. i played final fantasy: mystic quest for awhile on super nintendo. i watched the 'making of' for raiders of the lost ark and part of temple of doom. then i worked 4-9.
and let me tell you, work was crazy. we were busy, and everyone was wired and on edge. a strange combination. but i didn't have to work in the grill, so i didn't care. haha.
tomorrow is lunch w/case, then calling chick-fil-a, then working 4-8ish, then hommmmeee for a good, old-fashioned new year's movie night w/my family. i haven't done that for a good 4 or 5 years cuz i've always had plans, but this year i don't, and i'm looking forward to it.

anyway. i'm going to go play roller coaster tycoon for a little bit more, then sleep



wow, i just saw the cover of 'the secret life of bees' out of the corner of my eye, and thought that a bee on it was real. maybe i should just go to bed.... haha

my uncle no longer has any tubes coming out of him! most excitingly, he no longer has the 2 tubes that were in his head to drain his blood clot. so that's exciting. :)


i got my digital camera for christmas. i kinda let the excitement from that slip by the wayside. and mom got me the final myst game, which i can't wait to load when i get back to school. tim got me the myst 3-pack that i already have, so i'm gonna return it and get myst 4, cuz i don't have it yet. anyway. we were in columbus from saturday night till late monday morning, and then we headed to my grandparents' house. my cousin anya was there, which is exciting. she just moved from california to connecticut. and she's finally not going to college anymore [she has 2 bachelor's degrees and a master's degree]. i had fun pestering grandma with her and tim, haha.

i finished narnia last week, and so far this week i read the rest of black by tod dekker, and read over half of eragon by christopher paolini. i need to get out more and read less... haha

tomorrow i'm supposed to hang out with cassie [stokes, i just like to use her last name, haha], esther bardo, and molly thompson. i really hope all that works out, cuz i neeeever see molly or cass anymore, and i don't see esther much even though we're both still at malone.
tomorrow night it looks like i'm going to movies 8 w/b-rit. yay!

i'm going to bed soon, cuz tim's at a lock-in at the church, and my mother nominated me to go pick up him and some other kids and take them all home at 8 or 9. which is good. i rearranged my room today, and it's still in shambles. so if i get up, then i can work on it.

so i'm off to play roller coaster tycoon 2, and then sleep. :)

Monday, December 26, 2005

i'm going to post on xanga and my blogspot, because i'm pretty sure more people check xanga even tho i use this now.

you never think about things like how many people spend the Christmas holidays in the hospital, whether as the person being hospitalized or the family of that person, until you experience it.

that was my family's holiday this year. we left our house a couple hours earlier than expected on saturday [and skipped the christmas eve service at my church] and headed down here to columbus to riverside hospital, where my uncle mervin is. saturday late afternoon he was vacuuming, and thought he was standing on the other side of the stairs that he actually was, and he took a step back and fell head-first backwards down the stairs. my uncle is blind, by the way. he had a bad skull fracture and, as the doctor put it, a huge blod clot. they finished surgery while we were still on our way down, and then we went and saw him. he has tubes coming out of his head draining the blood. it's sad.
sunday morning we went to church, and then back to the hospital. since we were in the ICU of the Neuro center, i saw a lot of tears. that was a sad thing to see on Christmas day. people were camped out in the waiting room to be near their loved ones, possibly in the last moments of their life. it really broke my heart.

anyway, i hope everyone's holidays were good. please pray for my uncle, because if he recovers, it's going to be a long recovery. and after all the time he spent in the hospital when i was in high school when he got shot and went blind, this is just the icing on the cake. just pray for him. this is rough stuff for the Christmas season

Friday, December 23, 2005

i just ordered jenny smith's christmas present [that she's not going to get until after break] on ebay.

in 10 minutes i can go to bed. but due to the tradition of beating tim to move the mouse on the calendar on christmas eve, i have to stay up till midnight, even though i'm rather tired.


tomorrow morning, i'm going to boardman. i don't quite know what i'm thinking... haha. except i have a 10 dollar coupon for old navy, and my mom had one for jc penney. so i'm going to go spend 20 dollars, and not spend a single penny. :-)

that's all for now. it's almost christmas eve!

Thursday, December 22, 2005

i finished chronicles of narnia about an hour ago. now i get to finish reading 'Black' [by dekker]. i hope i like it, cuz i couldn't decide if i did or not when i started it.

i worked 4-7 last night, back in the dungeon. ok so not really, but it feels like it. other than taking orders through a headset and then taking people's money through a window, you get no human contact. and plus my fingers practically froze off. but i still like it better than grill! :-)


tim and i are going on a walmart adventure tonight. haha. the world is in for it...

ok i'm going to go play roller coaster tycoon 2 until it's time to go to work.

Wednesday, December 21, 2005

so this break this is kinda nice. since i've been home i've:

finished a horse and his boy (which i didn't like much), read prince caspian, read voyage of the dawn treader, read the first 10 chapters of the silver chair
watched [a lot of] movies: last of the mohicans, cats and dogs, some mr. bean, polar express, sound of music, terms of endearment [stupid!!!], the christmas blessing [tv movie on cbs] say anything, prince caspian, and part of voyage of the dawn treader [the BBC version]
watched my mom and dad sing in the church's christmas cantada
went to the dentist and went to sheetz for lunch afterwards
worked a whopping total of 4 hours [4-8 last night]. tonight and thursday i work 4-7. haha. yay mcdonalds not being able to give me hours...
got things figured out w/chick-fil-a, and the last week i'm home [jan. 2-8] i'm going to work at mcdonalds and be trained at chick-fil-a [in canton. this could be interesting... haha]
beat 2 parks on roller coaster tycoon

so yes. unproductive, yet a tiny bit not. and surprisingly, my mom and i haven't killed each other yet, although there have been plennnnty of fights. but that's just how we do it here... haha

tonight after work i'm booking it home, showering, then going to tim's band christmas concert. i hope lynne's going.
tomorrow after work tim and i are going to wal-mart to buy stocking stuffers for our parents, haha. every year my mom stuffs her own stocking, and she knows exactly what's in it, and what's the fun in that? so tim and i are gonna take care of it..

speaking of my mom and christmas... she decided that we were going to have matching pjs this year. tim is 16. i'm 20. oh goodness... she bought flannel bottoms and at first she bought ugly shirts, but then she bought new ones for me and tim. they're funny. she's funny. i can't believe i agreed to it... haha

anyway. i want to go play roller coaster tycoooon 2 now. i like that game. so goodbye!

Tuesday, December 20, 2005

jenny and leah are the best. i wish i could transport them with me wherever i go, haha. they're some of my favorite people ever, and that would make life easier.

we hung out tonight. we talked. and worked out [aka played on jenny's parent's gym equipment. especially the upside-down one. and all 3 of us went on the treadmill at the same time and walked 0.1 mile together. haha]. so yes, it was a good night. :)

i'm going to bed now because this is the latest i've been up since being home, and i don't like it. and i have dentist in the morning and work in the late afternoon. and i need to find my work clothes. so that's all.

Sunday, December 18, 2005

Saturday, December 17, 2005

honey i'm home! haha

i've been so unproductive that i didn't even go check my schedule when i got home last night. and my car still has some of my stuff in it.

but that will end soon, because i need money, so i hope that i work every day, even though i hate my job. and i think i'll be starting at chick-fil-a in canton the first week of january. i'm thinking i'm going to work 2 jobs like a mad woman. if i work in columbiana till 4, i should be able to get to canton by 5:30 without a problem. so that should work out well. i'm looking forward to having a job while i'm at school. even though pretty much the last thing i want to do is move back to school. but i have 3 weeks before i have to worry about that.

i watched last of the mohicans last night, cuz i saw tim's dvd sitting there, and i've only seen the regular vhs that i have. he has the dvd w/extended scenes. i was reminded how much i love that movie, and especially the amazing soundtrack.
i finished horse and his boy last night. can't say that i liked it all that much. it was kinda boring. but now i'm four chapters into prince caspian, which is four chapters closer to voyage of dawn treader, which is my mom's favorite.

and now, some quotes from the movie that tim and i just finished watching a bit ago. holy crap, i forgot how freaking hilarious it is!!
"no lunch for you"

"from Russia with love"
"and you can go to the bathroom wherever you want!" "yeahhhhh!"

"our team is red hot and your team ain't doodley squat"
"you fight like a poodle!"

annnd a quote from tim and i while watching the movie:
"it's pretty sad if your dog's your best friend." -me

"shut up." -tim
haha, my little brother is a loser!

there were so many more from the movie... but i didn't write them down.

anyway. i'm going to go do something productive now. like my laundry. or getting the rest of the stuff out of my car. or checking my schedule. so that's all

Tuesday, December 13, 2005

update for the sake of the one person [reno] who actually reads this. or because i just feel like it.

i'm tired. really tired. finals week makes me want to cry. i have the tendency to get a good night's sleep--if you add up at the end of week the hours that i slept every night. it's a good time.

i have a job interview today at 2:30. i hope it goes well.
i have to study like a mad woman until then. i'm hoping to get a 15 minute nap in sometime today, that would be glorious.

i should make some coffee, but i've already had more this week than a normal person drinks in a month, and it's only tuesday...


ok. back to study guide. and i need to go turn the heat down, cuz i'm getting hot.

that's all.

Wednesday, December 07, 2005

i just procrastinated a lot and made a sweet picture:







haha merry christmas everyone!

Tuesday, December 06, 2005

good times were had tonight. it was the best study/homework break ever.

i went to golden corral w/jessie and some people from her church, some girls from malone, kim, and shauna. shauna and i had some good times stuffing ourselves to the point where laughter had a the dangerousness of almost making us puke.
then we headed to tinseltown to see 'yours, mine, and ours'. which i didn't really think i wanted to see, but it was hilarious. and sitting next to shauna made it oh so much better... i haven't laughed that hard in a long time. she made it like an interactive experience, and i provided the jokes that went along with the movie. and then jessie, kim, shauna and i were rather hyper after the movie was over. holy cow. we were like dancing around the theater. :)

now back to paperrrrr. :( i have 3 pages written! 7 to go...

Sunday, December 04, 2005

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! that is me, knowing that i've been a horrible person this weekend when it comes to homework. i have a paper, 3 journals, and a test this week. and then like 7 tests next week. and i've been so unproductive. tonight, i really want to get started on that paper, cuz it's a huge one.


i'm thinking/praying about going on another campus crusade trip over spring break. i want to go back to pass christian with all my heart, and i'm pretty sure a trip is being offered over malone's spring break. i've been semi-planning on going anyway, and this would be good, because it's only $150, and i wouldn't have to provide my own transportation or anything like that.
friends, pray about it. i would REALLY like someone to go too, because it would be sad to go on my own. PLEASE pray about it. it was a life-changing experience, and i really want to share it with someone.


i'm going to see pride and prejudice w/pete's kelli [aka my kelli] at 3:25. i'm pretty excited. :) she says it's really good.


i watched bruce almighty today, it had been awhile. it was funny.
faith and i watched the boys next door last night. it was a really good movie. i'm thinking that might be something that i could do for the rest of my life [work with the disabled]. i don't know... but this is the second time in like a week that something's come up that's made me think seriously about it. so yeah...
and then we watched part of 'growing up walrus' on animal planet. and i fell in love. that walrus was seriously the cutest thing ever. he was all cuddly, and just awwwww. :)

ok now i should put shoes on and think about going outside in the coldness and drive to the strip and meet kelli.
i drank coffee like an hour ago. what was i THINKING? because now i'm going to have to pee in the middle of the movie, and we all know i refuse to leave movies while they're playing! all well, i have BLADDER OF STEEL!!!!

ok i really should stop typing now....


oh wait. one more thing. if i haven't talked to you for awhile, know that i miss you. i was realizing today how out of touch i am with a lot of my friends' lives, and it makes me sad. so i'm sorry about that!! email me [christisforever@gmail.com] or IM me [notagrobanite] or call me [330.588.7545] and update me on your life!

Thursday, December 01, 2005

i'm pretty sure that Rent has taken over half of the campus of Malone. it's kinda weird. hardly anyone knew what it was before the movie came out, and now it's everyone's favorite.
i like the broadway soundtrack better than the movie one, although it's still amaaaazingly good.


i should work on my paper more now. it's half done.


i'm in brittany and faith's room.

Wednesday, November 30, 2005

does anyone else ever think about the fact that in about a year and a half, our life starts? i know that for some it already has, but not really for me. i'm 20, but i still live with my parents when i'm not at school. i'm guaranteed a roof over my head and food to eat. in a year and a half, however, all that changes. i'll have to start providing these things for myself. i'll have to get a real job, and put into practice the things that i'm learning now.
to be honest, the thought scares me to death.
i wouldn't mind going back to elementary school and starting over again...
i like my roommates. they're both cool. and soon we get another one! i can't wait to see jennnnnny!!!

Tuesday, November 29, 2005

i like christmas music. it makes me happy.
barenaked for the holidays is a great cd. it makes me smile.


linda is here i'm done for now!

Saturday, November 26, 2005

last night at home. it's been a very unproductive break. i didn't work on my paper at all, but it's not due till wednesday. i can't access jstor.org from home, so that made it hard. so i just gave up.

i just learned how to cable knit. it looks fun. i tried to figure out a crochet pattern, but it made me want to shoot myself and ended with my mom and i almost yelling at each other, so i quit before that happened.

i watched a good amount of stargate today. as in, 5 episodes from season 2. i was home alone most of the day, so i had nothing else to do. it was nice.

i think i'm gonna head back to malone soon after church tomorrow. maybe i can get back before everyone else and work on my paper.

i think i'm too lazy to look through the christmas stuff for light bulbs for the candle in our window. i would have to practically unpack all of it, and that's just not worth it. hopefully i can just buy some more.

that's all. i'm done typing now.

Friday, November 25, 2005

thanksgiving was good. we watched the parade, the dog show, ate, played games [clue and uno, haha]. and watched stargate, of course. and tim and i played lotr trivial pursuit. i was SO freaking close to beating him for the first time EVER. i was one away!! but i lost. :(

today tim and i cleaned the refrigerator. haha. and played 'trivial pursuit for juniors'. it's from early 1990s, i think. it was funny. i've been listening to christmas music all day. 92.9 is the best christmas station ever. too bad it's a pittsburgh station and i can't get it at malone. :(
i called jenny [home jenny, just to clarify, lol] earlier, but she wasn't home. so i'm hanging out at home. i played roller coaster tycoon, haha. and i'm doing my laundry.

oh, and i started a puzzle on wednesday night, i'm almost done with it already... i'm such a nerd

i started re-reading little women last night. i only made it through the first chapter before i was too tired to read anymore. but it made me happy. i think i'm going to bring it back to school, but i'm really afraid of it falling apart. this is my second copy of it in my 20 years, and it's getting pretty ragged. poor little book. i love it so...


i think i'm gonna go see if i can convince tim to watch a movie instead of stargate [cuz i'm like a season behind the rest of my family] so i can puzzle/knit. and mom's gonna teach me the cable stitch later, so i can make awesome stuff!! :)

Wednesday, November 23, 2005

AMAZING. A M A Z I N G.
that was rent. i liked it a lot. :)
then brit and i went to barnes and noble for a bit so she could buy a book. and thennn we went to see kenzie at work [dutch house], but she was really busy.

i came back home and did nothing, cuz the only "cooking" things i had to do today were making fruit jello and making the filling for the pumpkin pie.

tim and i watched charlie brown thanksgiving tonight. we have it on tape from forever ago. then we watched the last halloween, since i had no one to watch it with on halloween. and then the kenny chesney special on abc, hahahahaaha. :) then i started on cassie's scarf. and tim took a bunch of quizzes online and read them outloud to me. just so you know, if he was a random item, he would be a tampon. HAHA.

then i decided we were going to go out and make a snowman. so i bundled up in a bunch of random layers [like my dads coat, an old man's little wool scarf on my head, pj pants, my mom's boots... lol] and we went outside. the snow is like 2 inches deep, and it packs, but it doesn't really stay together very well. so we made a little snowman in our neighbor rudy's yard, and a little bit of a bigger one in our yard. after adding the hair [a pine branch stuck in the top], nose [some kinda nut thing that was big?] and the eyes [buckeyes], we decided that if the movie Saw had a snowman, our snowman would be it. it's like a cross between a dog and a human and something else...

ok that's all for me, since no one reads this anyway!


PARADE IN 9 HOURS AND 22 MINUTES!
i'm leaving in about 4 minutes to go meet up with brit in boardman to see RENT!!! i'm really excited. and then i'll be cooking when i get back. hahhahaha. mother-supervised, of course, because i tend to suck at it.
anway.
I'M EXCITED BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Tuesday, November 22, 2005

lalalala. i'm watching friends. my paper is pretty much done. it just needs some editting and such.

this weekend was good. it consisted of:
friday: staying up till 4 w/my roomie and hanging out/working on my paper
saturday: worked on paper, picked up tim, hung out, went to blast!, watched saw w/roomie and tim
sunday: took tim to church, watched anchorman, met our parents and they surprised me w/jordan and taylor, ate at cici's, came back here, worked on my paper, hung out w/roomie and evan, worked on my paper

yay!

tonight i went to walmart w/alicia and roomie. it was a good time. i got a coloring book! :) and yarn for cassie's scarf, and a dvd for a dollar.

now i'm going to edit my paper some/make a works cited page

Monday, November 21, 2005

weekend was spent with my roomie, and my little brother. it was good. i liked it. :)

blast was amazing, of course.

ok i don't really want to update right now, i just thought i did. i'm going to keep paper-ing until i keel over and fall asleep.

Friday, November 18, 2005

tomorrow. it's just now hitting me. that tomorrow. tomorrow, tim and i are going to see this. this wonderful, amazingness that we call the Broadway show Blast! yes. can we say excitement?
i've seen it twice already [my senior year of high school and again my freshman year of college], but tim hasn't seen it yet, other than on the vhs of it that we have at home.






ok, now that i've posted almost every good picture i could find on here... haha.

go to www.blasttheshow.com, click on touring shows, click multimedia, and then click quicktime video clips. watch some. especially malaguena or battery battle. AMAZING. :)

ok now paperrrrrrrr
and so we move on, and it's like that part of my life never existed.
i act like i don't care
but sometimes, i do. sometimes i remember.
when people post like 4 billion times in one day, i don't read them. it's pointless.



tonight was amazing. and much-needed. kyle, ken, michael and jeff came down from cleveland and hung out. we watched the video that the Case boys [k, k, and m] had made, went to Celebration, and then went to Applebee's. i wasn't hungry at all, and neither was marissa, but we ate an entire artichoke and spinach dip appetizer. [side note, she's really awesome. i'm glad i'm getting the chance to get to know her!] anyway. it was just really awesome to catch up with everyone, whether they were from case or csu or malone! yayyyyyy.

ok i want to finish this part of my paper [the indian child welfare act] before i sleep. so i'm offfffffffff

Wednesday, November 16, 2005

i'm having the best conversation ever with travis right now. he's teaching me about heather. it's great. i'll have to post it here when it's over.

i'm eck's boyfriend! haha

*edit* now he taught me about cassie. i'm just chock full of knowledge right now!

sometimes, i just hate living in this suite. it's not like i can't hear them talking out there, because i can.
if it weren't for jenny...

none of them [i should say, rather, neither of them] read this due to not having the link. so i'm good to go.


on a better note... last night/earlier today i watched moulin rouge. it'd been a few months. i forgot how much i like that movie. i like it a lot.

i'm going to read about native americans. and then go to sleep. again on the floor, because i don't like the loft bed at all.

Monday, November 14, 2005

holy cow. andrea bocelli is my hero. i got one of his cds [andrea] from the library today. and it's giving me goosebumps! i love that. that's the sign of a good artist to me.

speaking of the library. i got out like 15 books. and 4 cds [spam-a-lot original cast recording, anna and the king soundtrack, last samurai soundtrack, and andrea]. and i saw mr. hershberger!

my gmail won't open. my computer is being weird. but that's not really anything new. but i have email that i want to read. maybe i'll go see if it works in the computer lab.... that sounds good.


thursday has the potential to be exciting. CRWU boys are supposed to come down. yay!!!
michael palin is my favorite.


spam-a-lot is hilarious.


i have a headache.

the movie i want to watch is on in 43 minutes. yay!

Sunday, November 13, 2005

i'm tired. i still haven't napped since i got back from MS. or slept more than 5 or 6 hours a night.
speaking of that, i ordered a campus crusade katrina relief team shirt. or at least i'm going to.

this weekend was long. and weird. but good.
3 or 4 years ago i might not have seen that coming, but it did. and there's not really anything that can be done. it's over.

i don't really like sunday nights in my room. some are worse than others. tonight sounds like it's gonna be a calmer one.

i need to work on my role play a little bit more. then i'm going to get up in bed and watch a movie/crochet, and hopefully go to bed early. or at least by midnight.


i like simon and garfunkle. el. le. el. i can never figure that one out. and i never feel like looking it up.

now on to that homework/movie/sleeping thing.

Friday, November 11, 2005

i haven't had a full night's rest [8 hours or more] since before mississippi. that was 3 weeks ago.
i was going to fix that this weekend, but rochelle called me the other day and asked me to work at youth retreat. i can't turn down money, because i need it. i'm excited, but i know that this weekend will add to my exhaustion rather than make it better.

i'm not going to current issues in the morning. and i don't think i'm going to methods tomorrow afternoon. that's 2 hours that i could use to nap, which i haven't done since the day i got back from mississippi.

it's 3:30. i'm going to bed.


p.s. i saw carman tonight. :) he didn't sing satan, bite the dust, though. that made me a little sad..

tonight, i concluded that staying up this late at night is made a million times easier when one has someone to stay up with. especially if that includes candy!

i just left CH 2 computer lab after over 3 and a half hours spent in there with emily getting our policy take home done. after finishing it, i concluded that it wasn't even that bad, and that i could have had it done a longggg time ago if i had just left my computer, because it distracts me.

i'm going to bed. and not getting up till like 8:30. sleeping till the lastttt possible second.

tomorrow: class, shower, class, lunch, then leaving for ashland w/the rest of my policy class for some stupid workshop. we'll get back here around 7:30 or so. i have a research test on thursday that i need to study for, a carman concert thursday night, and journals to write/movie to watch for commons on friday. this has been a busy week, and it's gonna continue to be that way.

i wish i could have gone to the central game tonight. i'm going to xanga-hop now until i find out if they won or not...
i went to type an email, and couldn't even think of anyone to email.


there's no way to type an invisible post on blogspot. that might be it's one downfall.

Tuesday, November 08, 2005

that experience was weird and i didn't like it, and it changed my mind. i'm not doing that. i'm going to stay here and just hang out with like 3 people. and i'm not telling anyone else.
the end.



i need to get a 3.283 this semester to get my GPA back up above 3.0
on that note, i'm going to go finish my take home, and then write some journals for commons
i'm jealous of the incoming swk majors that don't have to take the commons classes...


don't let yourself be seen with notorious hoodlums!
[faith and i learned this today on the andy griffith show]

i <3 david crowder band
the newest cd, a collision or (3+4=7), is amazing. just thought i would share that.

i'm hungry. dinner isn't for 3 more hours... yay for birthdays and half-price appetizers though!

let's post a picture, just for the fun of it...

















look at us! we're so hot! :) and i'm freaking tan, gosh... haha

anyway. now back to the policy take home...

Sunday, November 06, 2005

on tuesday, i'm going to central christian comets soccer semifinals with the eades family!! yayyyyy!

on thursday, i'm going to a carman concert with reno and lyle!


i really need to work more. i'm going to call susan tomorrow.


ummm just wanted to share that this weekend was amazing. i pretty much spent the weekend with brit, adrienne, or both. last night was the most hilarious time this semester. i haven't laughed that hard in... well... i don't know how long it's been. i don't even remember what time it was when we finally went to bed... haha.


i'm going to do homework now. while i watch 'rookie of the year' on abc family, and talk to sarah eades online. it's just studying for current issues, which isn't bad

Saturday, November 05, 2005

i'm watching coach! i used to love this show. and next i'm going to watch mcgee and me. i love saturday morning tv!! :)

sometime soonish, mom and tim are coming. we're switching cars back. i hate my car, it doesn't work right. but i'm the only one who thinks so, apparently... so i get to continue to drive it without it being looked at by my mechanic, according to an executive decision made by my mom.


i should get dressed. and dry my hair somewhat. i should have told my mom to have tim come to my window so i know when they're here, since the dorm doors are still annoyingly locked...

anyway. on to that getting dressed thing...

i just had a great conversation with mary. i love that girl. i don't get to see her enough, compared to last year.

CMT is gone. i'm sad about that. a lot sad. :( but it was good while it lasted.


tonight, i'm going to paint some pottery with adrienne and maybe brit. yay! SAC seriously has amazing activities sometimes. such as making a $12 item for $5. and last year, i went to see phantom of the opera in cleveland for like $20.

that was a random rant.


i've been so tired lately. i don't know why. but i've been feeling tired for like 2 weeks now, pretty much.

i think that's all.



currently listening to [this is probly the only thing i miss from xanga]: my 'piano' mix in iTunes, which is currently playing 'have i told you lately' by rod stewart

faith and i just watched crash.

holy cow. that is one amazing movie!

can i really handle things like that for the rest of my life? i don't know if i can... yeah... i'm kinda questioning my major now. always good to do with 3 and a half semesters left...
our cable preview channel right now is CMT. it makes me happy. i'm gonna be sad when it ends, because i love spending hours watching music videos. :-P

i haven't decided if i'm going to post the link to this or not. at the moment, only a small handful of people know it, and i might keep it that way for awhile. just to be exclusive. haha.

i really want the sugarland cd. someone should take care of that for me!


p.s. the last post was made through a telephone! i was so amused... i called a number and then posted! haha

Tuesday, November 01, 2005

this is an audio post - click to play
so this is ticking me off. but i think i'm pretty much done with it, other than links and stuff.

ok. i think officially back w/blogspot. i like it. :-)

so yeah... after deserting this for over a year, i'm coming back to it! i've had it since i was a senior in high school. it has a lot of stories. i'm going to go read some of them while i wait for my wonderful roommate cassie to come back so we can watch some newlyweds!

and hey.. you don't have to be a member to leave me comments, so LEAVE ME SOME COMMENTS! :-P

in the process of revamping this...
i forgot how frustrating it can be sometimes!
as you can see, i'm only like half-finished...
