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!!!

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!

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.

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!! :)

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

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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...

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

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

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
