i hope yall had an exciting/fun long wknd!! (except for steph b/c UD had class on monday. it was her bday too, how much does THAT blow?!? happy 20th!) but for the rest of yall that got stuck with an entire 3-day wknd of hw- lets join up and stage a coup against all the heartless, fun-sucking profs who are in the conspiracy to ruin what life we're able to live outside of class.

so saturday's game was...exciting? hmm...wrong word. 65-0 pretty much sums up anything anyone would want to say or hear about it. at least we were only there for a little bit of it. got to chill at the old w.c. for a bit after. tried out a lacrosse party, but left after a couple minutes, blah. maybe the next will be better?

ive been workin on french ALL wknd, tryin to get ready for today's quiz. prayin it worked. first test is friday- EEK!! gotta do well on the quiz so i (hopefully) wont stress crazy amounts about the test.

mellancamp. good stuff. jack & diane.
just thought i'd mention that.

gotta get ready for class. have a good (short!) week.

El Paso is closer to L.A. than the other side of Texas.

2004-09-04T01:49:00.000-05:00

well, this is my second post since bein back online and hopefully someone will leave a comment on it other than michelle and i. (thats a hint!!)

the first full week of school went great. i still like all of my classes, so yea! french looks like it will be more work than last year, but i will survive. (you have to read that last part like diana ross or whoever.)

my friday afternoon/night was filled with painting, hw, and cleaning, but it was fulfilling at least. tomorrow night will be much more exciting! football, goin out, and molly's s'posed to be in town so she might go out with us! fun stuff!! midget and tiny together in austin....oh how i would love to see ridley's face!! you austin ppl dont get it, but the ryla ppl who dont read this would if they read this. yeah....anyways.... game tomorrow! fun!

what are everyones plans post game? michelle and i are lookin for options...

well, im bored so leave a comment that will entertain me next time i get on!!

WOOHOO! MICHELLE AND I HAVE INTERNET! never EVER go thru sbc for internet. you'll regret it, as will your cell phone bill.

So, anyways, ive been back in austin for a few weeks, and i love it! so good to be back. the apartment is awesome. our coffee table is badass. everyone needs to stop by for a visit.

classes are great! where else but in austin would your semester consist of a blind anthropology teacher, a turkish TA who would make a killer pirate on halloween (complete with long curly hair and a hoop earring!), an asian french prof, a shakespeare/haiku quoting, golden oldies playing botanist prof for native plants, and a bio prof who doesnt like bio and therefore just isnt going to teach it (but he decided he would at least use a few biology examples) and who schedules our tests and hw around getting over hangovers while avoiding cutting into drinking time all the while making the freshman giggle over his slightly expletive language. god i love this place!!!

ive already added another class to my schedule. well, not really my schedule, im just sitting in on it. its neat. its called music of texas. im also gonna try out a nonverbal class, but its at the same time as the music class so i might just pick up a syllabus and figure out which will be more interesting on each particular day. woohoo!

i made chicken parameseum (technically it was chicken mozzarella cuz we didnt have the requisite parameseum, but details, shmetails). sooooo unbelievably good. i surprised myself. mmm...

well, i saw exorcist, the new one. i havent seen the old one yet. (unbelievable, i know.) anyway- wow. WEIRD movie. CREEPY movie. michelle told me it was way worse than the first. we had to watch zoolander afterwords....

well, i have lots of very dull hw to do so hopefully someone will read this and leave a comment so i will be inspired to keep writing in this new fangled technological thingamuhjig.

if you dont know that thats a line in a song- be glad. its a terrible song. probably in my 'top 5 most annoying songs in the world' list. anyways, moving on...

i met with some of my ryla friends for dinner tonight. fun stuff. then we went rollerskating. wow. first time ive been since i was about 7 yrs old. AND I DIDN'T FALL A SINGLE TIME!!!! then we went to marble slab (i had rum ice cream with bananas- tasty) and talked for a long time.

i finally started packing. boy do i have a lot of stuff. yea for havin a car, a truck, and a trailer. and an awesome friends who's gonna help me move all of it, even if he is gonna hold it over my head for the next 10 years! will anyone be in town on the 14th (saturday) that could help me unload and take stuff up to my apt? we could really use some help!!

well, im off to go pack some more stuff so i can crawl into a sliver of space on my bed. night!

there is no word in the english language to rhyme with silver, purple, or orange.

i had a great wknd, hope you did too!

2004-08-09T13:20:00.000-05:00

yea, my weekend was awesome! very relaxed and fun. nick, of course, slept the entire way to batesville, but it was a nice drive. after many hours on the road, we finally got to batesville (northern arkansas). we never got lost either! saturday, dave- my awesome friend who i love to death! had to work all day and so did katren, his girlfriend, so nick and i being the total dorks that we are, studied for awhile before we went out. had scumptious bbq for lunch at dave's bbq place. (if u ever find yourself in the batesville viscenity, go eat at Cody's. everybody knows it. GREAT food. tell dave and cody hi for me.) anyways, we ate then went down to the carnival in town and walked around a bit before we saw a car show on the other side of the river. NICE cars. wow. i like old cars and this was amazing. nick was happy cuz there was a motorcycle show at the carnival, but its hard to compete with vintage mustangs, a 33 ford, etc. we drove around town for a bit lookin for stuff to do when we stopped in a store and i picked up some games that we took back to the carnival. we had a good time with the locals playing jenga and and chinese checkers before we went back for more free and delicious bbq for dinner. chilled at the restaurant til close then headed back to the house to relax some more. played with pancho, an ADD kitten thats totally adorable. went to lunch with dave and katren, cody, etc. before we headed home. it was a lot of fun, no worries, just good friends and good times. and dave will get to go back to ryla!!!!! woohoo!!! yall dont understand the ryla thing, but its awesome. we look forward to it all year. u'll hear more about it in february.

hey michelle- i was lookin online at bedding and slipcovers. cheap! we should order some once we get moved in!!

well, mom and i went to the zoo on wednesday. it was great!! we had so much fun. i tried to hop the first gate to get closer to the elephants so my mom could take a pic (my mom is way obsessed with '"eppies"!) but the metal was so hot that it burned my leg and i didnt get over. :( oh well. jst because i know some of yall will think its funny, ill let you know that we got pics of the mating tortises (hilarious!) and almost got one of the lions mating, but he was only on for about 30 secs so both the lioness and we were a bit disappointed i think.

my mom and little sis came in this week. my sis is 9 and is so tall!! they stayed w/ my big sis in henderson. i HATE henderson!!!!!! i get lost everytime i go to that god-forsaken town! their streets are set up in the worst way ive ever seen! anyways, we played a lot of clue and uno and had a good time.

im planning on starting to pack my stuff up today. we'll see how that goes. i cant wait to get back to austin!!!!!

well, im off to run errands. yall have a good weekend! ill be in batesville, ark all weekend visiting a great friend!

2004-08-01T06:44:00.000-05:00

it was a good night. my last night at work went very well-no rude people and lots of pleasant ones. at the end of the night there was a lil party type thing they set up to say goodbye to me. they got out a huge cookie cake with palm trees and everyone wrote a note on a card and brandy bought me a gifts. she never should have wasted her money on me, but it was really sweet of her and i like that she put a lot of thought into it. ive never worked anywhere where i got along so well with EVERYone. it was a very friendly atmosphere with people who are genuine. anyways, it was really neat that they wanted me to know they would miss me even though i'd only been there 3 months. and some of them are going to go skydiving with me in a couple weeks! that should be interesting...

im going to go sheet/bed stuff shopping today after i wake up. 2 weeks til austin!!

my puppys asleep on my lap and hes so cute. well, actually i guess hes a dog now, but hes still puppy size and puppy cute. lets have a collective "aww.....". he really is adorable.

winnie the pooh is on. i like pooh bear. i wish gummi bears still came on- that was a good cartoon. if you dont know what im talkin about you suck and had a miserable, sheltered childhood. i miss david the gnome, too. now that was a good cartoon!

i saw the bourne supremacy today. not bad, but not great. predictable like the first which tends to ruin this type of flick. the previews were excellant though.

i also ruined the grilled cheese sandwhich i made for dinner. the ramen wasnt my best either. pretty sad, huh? well fuck you. i dont care. i ate that son of a bitch anyway!! hell yeah! go me and my culinary skills- or lack thereof.

mom and i have date for wednesday! the zoo!! im very excited.

well, its late, or for those of you who've gone to bed already- early, and im sleepy. so good night, sweet dreams, etc.

deep thinking sucks. now i cant sleep. great. so you get to read some short little paragragh of my bitching and moaning. you can stop reading now b/c it's pretty pointless to read any further. what doesnt help any is that i cant fully appreciate my bitching and moaning b/c when you get down to it, my life is pretty damn good so i feel even worse about my bitchings. its not even a decent catch 22. fuck this, i dont wanna write anymore. and dont fucking tell me to smile- itll piss me off. ill be in a better mood tomorrow and will decide i shouldnt have posted this, but kellen is still saying no one is updating so here is my damn update. (sorry kellen) have a good night. now i feel bad for possibly putting ppl in an unpleasant mood, even if it only lasts briefly. so sing the chariot song, you know- 'swing low, sweet chariot...' its a good song. i like it. now smile, think of happy things and find something better to do than sit in front of your computer when the weather is beautiful and warm outside!

i have nothing to say. just figured i'd give kellan something to read.

if you're baking but have no eggs, a couple drops of shampoo (preferably baby) will work as a substitute. the point of the eggs is to hold the ingrediants together and the shampoo accomplishes this as well. it is safe and doesnt particulary affect the taste (esp if its baby shampoo) when you find yourself in a pinch.

put me on a cool river...

2004-07-24T11:59:00.000-05:00

wow. i love the river. it came with perfect timing- fun and relaxing just when i needed it!

so ill tell you all about the trip.

friday before i left, my mom and i spent nearly 1/2 an hour tryin to figure out how to get to my apartment place in austin from 35 using my map of austin and never could, then realized the my kickass map doesnt include that area of austin. let me insert here that the map is labeled "austin and surrounding areas" NOT "austin and surrounding areas, excluding parts of north austin". so i call and they finally find someone in the office who can give me directions. i leave to meet my friend brandon in malakoff (a tiny town off of hwy 31 in between athens and corsicana). i cant find the restaurant im supposed to meet him at so i drive up and down malakoff's part of 31 for 25 minutes because neither of us have any service in this rinkydink town and i cant call him or anyone else. i stopped twice to get directions and both times they sent me to the wrong end of town. so i show up 30 minutes late and we go drop his truck off and make our way south.

we had to stop in austin at my apartment place before we headed to the river. after missing 620 in round rock, we turned around and get on it. we did pretty good but the apt closes at 7 and my detours in malakoff had us goin 80-90 the whole way to austin, prayin we would make it in time. with 30 minutes to go, i called michelle so at least one of us would be there by 7 to stall until i could get there. she leaves. we meanwhile have no idea where we are but are pretty sure we're on the right track. we call the apt ppl and tell them where we are; the lady tells us we've passed it and to turn around. thankfully, i have low expectations of the intelligence of these ppl and decide she doesnt know what shes talkin about and we just keep goin straight. michelle calls at 5 til 7 to tell me shes lost. well, goody, that makes two of us. we eventually pull up at the same time a few minutes after seven. woohoo- we made it! and they were still there- barely. so we haggle back and forth about which one we want, price, etc. and then finally sign. so- WE HAVE AN APT NOW!!

we left austin and head south again to go to the river. we get a call from brandon's friends (this is an annual trip brandon and his friends from malakoff take every year, ive just gone along last year and this year) saying they need up to stop by walmart. brandon says he knows how to get to the walmart in new braunfels so i decide not to stop at one in austin. lets just say brandon didnt know what he was talkin about. so after multiple detours around new braunfels, we finally leave wal mart and once again head towards the river. ummm...yeah, we had trouble with that too, because for once my sense of direction was right and naturally we went his way. SO- we FINALLY made it to the river. YEA!! we unloaded and sat down start relaxin.

the camp was down to 10 pll this year cause the awesome german kid couldnt make it this year, and 2 of the 3 guys in iraq werent on leave, and some others couldnt make it for whatever reasons. the rest of the time was spent like most river trips. a few of us went down to the bank that night and just talked and drank. next day we floated the top part of the river cause the bottom was too strong and they wouldnt let us go down that part. all the poor pasty white folks got sunburnt, but not me! :) so most everyone was drunk when we got back, we all did our own thing and then ate dinner (steaks, hot dogs and hotlinks) and played drinkin games til we got tired of those and just drank and talked and had a good time. had a deep (deep for me, not necassarily deep for anyone else) talk with brandon for a couple hours and went to sleep. next day, we left. it was an excellant trip. the fun was very fun and the relaxation was very relaxing. cant wait til next year.

the nile river flows south to north.

stupid people suck & this is really long

2004-07-19T12:30:00.000-05:00

the management at the club could use some improvement. i would offer my advice if i thought it would do any good, but i think it would only be viewed as an uppity 19 yr old tryin to act smarter than she is rather than someone who's has been around business since she was 3 and has a good deal of sense and ideas regarding the basic aspects of running a business. common sense, problem solving and thinking out of the box- you dont need a business degree or massive experience to have it. i hate ineffectivness, lack of insight, and everthing that go with. ESPECIALLY when i have to deal with it in a working environment where i have no say and its usually frowned on if i try to do or say anything about it. ok, you dont want to read this so ill stop on this rant or ill be here typing forever. stupid people suck.

new rant: i was already in a bad mood because of work last night when i woke up before the sun was fully up for class. reminder: my prof is a full time minister and a part time professor. well, kudos for him. however, he happens to be very very conservative both politically and religiously. those who know me know that im more liberal. and by this, i dont necessarily mean politically or religiously. i simply mean that i have what i consider a more lenient view on many topics. but, to get technical, i am more moderate than anything else. i dont believe everything is black and white/right or wrong like most of those ive encountered who align themselves with conservative/liberal and whatnot; there is no need to list out a string of groups here. now, with this otherwise useless bit of background info, i will get to the point. many topics were brought up in class today. among them were discrimination (racial, gender, economic, sexual orientation, etc) and abortion. racial discrimination was well done, but with so much documentation and years of work on the subject i dont feel that thats much of an accomplishment. bravo for teaching what is now accepted as common sense and decency, it must be tough. so- moving on. gender. not very well done. only situations given were those in a military context. (prof also was in the military). and yet, even these examples were found lacking. the question was asked "should women be allowed to fly fighter planes?" fyi: due to the way the female body is built (mainly the wideness of the hips which lends to a different center of gravity), it withstands the highspeeds (and therefore g-forces) of the planes better than the male body. furthermore, because one does not observe the enemy in a personal manner (such as in hand to hand combat) there is no argument for a woman suddenly "going soft" for lack of a better term. it can be boiled down to target shooting. and for those of you out there who want to argue that last point, please feel free, i will probably learn something, but keep in mind that i in no way mean to say that it is easy to be a pilot in one of the aircrafts- just that in comparison, there is much less personalization of the enemy. for those who dont know, one of the main args against women in the military is that they are too emotional and cannot make decisions quick enough or unbiased enough like men. planes are just one of the obvious ways this argument can be proven wrong. those who know me know that im not into womens lib. far from it. liberate your damn self. most of women's lib is a bunch of whining and i think it sucks. stand up for your self bitch, get in the real world. however, there are some good points in there just like there are some good points in every lib group. stupis ppl suck.

ok, that was long. go get a drink and and something to munch on though cause im not through.

continuing on todays lecture. economic discrim was barely even touched on though it is a problem going both ways and i happen to find it interesting. so obviously i found this part of the discussion less than fulfilling. moving onto sexual orientation. the uber conservative minister/prof was actually not too bad about this. not to say he wasnt strongly opposed, but he presented it in as non-fire and brimstone way as a southern minister can. props to him, no sarcasm. i once again disagreed with his view, but he presented it well enough that no major arguments from me on what he said. however, i do feel that he did not present enough to make this part of the lecture worthwhile. moving on quickly now to abortion. my class is made up of LOTS of closeminded people. if you are liberal, good for you. if you are conservative, good for you. but if you are closeminded, go fuck yourself so you can be occupied while the rest of us have an intelligent conversation. thats all im goin to say on that. and that pretty much finishes up my class today. oh, and- stupid ppl suck.

on a brighter note- leavin for the river on wednesday!!! woohoo!! stoppin in austin for a few minutes to see michelle and talk to our oh so intelligent (sarcasm there) apartment lady. maybe even go ahead and sign. cant wait for relaxing and fun times with brandon and the others on the river though. much needed. ill be back friday night.

have to go study now- test in the morning.

dogs don't sweat; that is why they pant- it cools them off.

kellan, i thought you would know better than to call bs on me by now. hairspray does remove ink. from your dearly beloved, slightly younger heloise (that would be me) here is how to do it: say an ink pen busts on your jeans or whatever. spray it w/ aerosol hairspray and dab with a paper towel, rag or whatever. it comes up. promise.

moving on. i am an awful daughter. i feel terrible. i didn't say hi to my mom today. in my defense, i didnt see her all day, but i should have stopped by work to see her or at least called. i suck. she even left a message on my phone about how i didnt say hi to her but that she wanted to say hi to me. ouch. so i bought flowers (at 4 in the morning) and left them out for when she wakes up. does that help atone for not saying hello? no, not really- i still feel negligent, but its the best i can do for now.

i think everyone should meet my mom. she rocks.

work was ok, just got home. babysitting tomorrow- aka: teen night. 13 yr old raging hormone machines. fun. at least i get to laugh at their goffy asses.

well, i still have a test to study for and some sleep to get, so- g'night everybody!

i started learning how to drive tong's eclipse today. Different than i thought it would be, but i think i did alright. definately need to continue practicing though.

July 31 will be my last day at work!

talked to freddie tonight. he's planning on starting our painting soon since the horse pic is almost done. he's not sure what hes going to paint though. any ideas from anyone? we're open to pretty much anything.

king arthur: decent, but go to the matinee. they're going to release the uncut version on dvd, i think im going to go for that. in case you didnt know, the movie was palnned and scripted as R rated and disney told them last minute to make it pg-13 which affected the movie as you will see. scenes were cut and the last scene was changed on somethin like the last day of filming to something that would better accomadate a pg13 rating and you can tell. so- dvd version!

3 more weeks of work...

i just love talking to random people. they're so fun.

my culinary skills are improving- i think.

my sister has promised me a painting for my apartment- woohoo! unfortunately, i have the feeling i'll be waiting a long time for artwork until both she and freddie actually get around to it...they both know what their going to paint, but apparently, neither has even started. please prove me wrong guys!!! anyone know for sure about freddie's progress?

i wish i was artistic. however, even my stick figures have a tendency to come off more like interpretive abstract modern art than anything else.

tomorrow i learn how to drive a standard. it's a long overdue lesson. we'll see how it goes.

yall have a good week!

I DID IT!!!! I MADE A GRILLED CHEESE SANDWHICH!! my 1st ever successful attempt. it was a beautiful moment and a scrumptious sandwhich.

moving on, theres this weird guy at work who apparantly has a thing for one of the other door girls. he was going to tip the shotgirl $80 if brandy (doorgirl) would go on a date with him! so- if youre going to be shelling out that kinda cash, why not just go to the yellow pages under "escort" right? well, the guy decides he wants to go to CHURCH with her then to a movie. so to clarify this- weird pathetic guy comes to a BAR, decides he likes my coworker then asks her to go to church if he pays a girl wearing chaps and a bikini a minimum of $80 (which the 2 girls would later split). now to me this seems abnormal, am i being harsh or do you agree??

more weird happenings update: my mom got a guy's son's phone number for me- but i didnt ask for it, i havent met son, i met dad once. and he keeps trying to get my mom to help him hook us (me and son) up. weird right?? now ive heard son is very attractive and good personality so- should i call...? gimme some input on this!

even more: my new manager, who happens to be the FATHER of a guy one of my old friends is dating (the son is a yr younger than me, my friend is my age) is trying to get me in the bikini contest- because he REALLY wants to see me in a bikini (thats what he actually told me). its kinda creepy. then 2 of the other managers decide its great idea and then brandy, the doorgirl, joins in on the encouraging. weird!

speaking of bikinis, i scared the cable man the other day. great fun. i didnt know anyone was at my house, so i walked from the pool in the backyard out to my car and lo and behold- there was a cable man out there! well, im just kinda standing there lookin at him wondering why the hell this guys in my front yard when he turns around, sees me and jumps out of his skin. haha, apparently HE didnt think anyone was home either...

fyi: dont try to swim laps in a bandeau top. (it was spur of the moment kind of thing)

man i miss all my austin kids! ive been lookin at some of yalls(their) friends' posts and they all seem awesome! if yall read this, come down to austin and hang out with all of us! it'd be great to meet all yall!

i wanna go have fun with the hawkins ppl. i miss dave. i wanna go see him. i've decided i dont like arkansas- its too far away. he gets to go to ryla though!!!! woohoo!!!! oh damn, now i just realized i miss ryla too. february is a LONG ways away. maybe ill finally get to work with andy though...doubt it. i wonder if they'll put me and brandon together for a 4th time...? thats always fun! hmm...me, dave, brandon and molly- now THAT would be a kickass grp of counselors!!!!!!

ok so this is really long. thats what working til 330 gets ya! dont forget to leave comments about the top stuff and anything else that you wan to!

i have decided there is NO better fast food biscuit than whataburger's. i dare you to find one that even compares, 'cause DAMN! those are some tasty biscuits. yea. for 3AM whataburger. it just perks my day up.

so- work was forever long. but at least my english class is over!!! govt doesnt start til monday so im going to spend tomorrow with tong, who by the way, just got back from thailand. car shopping and movies- good stuff.

the river trip is now set. as long that pesky thing called class doesnt interfere, im good to go! woohoo! unfortunately, i dont think ill be able to stop in austin to visit anyone. but ill see you in august!!

hmm...random text from freddie earlier tonight...which being from freddie made it not random at all... just...a text from freddie...made me laugh though- thanks babe.

major thanks to kellen who helped me figure out how to order my stupid season tickets!!

im very much UNimpressed with the way the apt lady is handling business. michelle- im getting borderline angry- pissed has already come and gone. im sure it will work out though. call me so i can update you.

freddie- if you read this, have you started on the painting? we cant wait to see what you come up with for us! so apparently christian is BACK in the country...i didnt know he went OUT of it...where did he go? anyone?

since i cant do any neat techy type things with my blog, i figured i would use what i have available to me to make it a little more interesting and different from all the others. so starting tonight, i will end each post with a random, useless tidbit that i have stored in my head for whatever reason. hopefully, they will be interesting and youll learn something new! (it doesnt matter that you'll never use it)

The thumbs up sign is actually an ancient symbol of phallic virility.

did everyone have a good 4th? make a little comment thing and tell me all about it! mine was definatey not worth writing about...

well i tried to make this thing more interesting for yall, but- no luck. looks like you'll probably have to wait til the amazing kellen can help me in person. so kellen, heres my list of "im to technically ignorant to figure this out" things i would like to do: put pics on here, links to other ppl's pages, links to other things, and anything else neat that i dont know about but could put up. and remind to ask you how to get the pics i have to open- they're giving me hell.

isn't kellen great? everyone needs to post on kellens page how wonderful he is to all of us!! thanks kel!

well, i keep trying to get a hold of michelle to find out her interesting life news, but we seem to be playing a badass game of phone tag. i did find out her parents just bought a boat....could crazy lake days be in the future....? needless to say- we're excited.

ive been studying like crazy for my test on tuesday. it sucks. but even worse, i can't study for my final thats on wednesday until after i finish my test on tuesday cause i dont have time. scary. send good thoughts both days!!!

kaci is back in from russia and as soon as get some time im gonna call her and hear all about it. kaci- if you read this: glad to have you back, cant wait til i get in austin to see u and ill call you as soon as i can! hope it was great!

im getting in with the whitis grp for season tickets- u should too! it'll kick ass!

so who all is already in austin? when is everyone else headed back? here's who is there or will be there soon that i know of: michelle, kaci, brandon, ki, stef, raul(?). im comin back about the 14th of august and i want some huge fun to go down.

fyi: Dierks Bentley @ gruene 8/27. anyone interested? creager @ midnight rodeo 9/11.

hmm...thats all for now.

you love me! you really LOVE me!

well hot damn! ppl are finally leavin comments! thanks for the update freddie's friend bubba, and hi freddie! miss you too!

it looks like im becoming a decent cook!! scary, huh? but no witty remarks about me cookin for you.

only 2 more days of american lit left!!!!!!!! YEA!!!! then i start gov't at 7:30 a.m. SUCK.

well, everyone have an awesome 4th of july weekend, but be at least relatively safe (freddie and certain ppl from hawkins who might see this).

i get off around 430 tonight so, if youre awake, give me a call! i might leave a weird, possibly coherant or possibly incoherant post when i get in.

hmm...

heard while flipping channels:
"would you ever date a girl who worked at hooters?"
waiter: "no....i'm gay."
reply: "oh. good answer."

i went to dinner the other night with a couple friends. it was fun. i think brandon only wanted to go to dinner with me so he could come and visit my mom though! apparently freddie actually has plans for the picture (yea!), but hasnt started on it yet. btw, i am insanely jealous of kellen and his backyard. he should be putting pics up soon on his blog thingy so you'll understand why. dunno what else to write. so- bye!

ahh......(sigh of relief)...(then a big) WOOHOO!!!

2004-06-28T18:49:00.000-05:00

wow. so much stress just passed. but it comes in waves so, its ok- i have no doubt my old friend will visit me roundabout on wednesday since i have yet another major grade on thursday. yes, old friends are definately the best. which works for me because i like stress, it gets me going! and makes me feel like i have a purpose, so- added bonus for that! not to mention i think i work damn well under pressure, if i may say so myself. man...i kinda miss it already!

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!
I AM OFF ON THE FOURTH OF JULY!!! LETS ALL GIVE A HUGE CONGRATULATORY YELL. however, i sadly have NO plans. will someone take pity on the workaholic social reject and take me with them to have some of that stuff i hear ppl talk about- i think they call it fun, but i can't be too sure on that. some help on this issue would be HUGELY appreciated!!

I realized today that i have been very busy and preoccupied- more than is healthy- (in the sane sense)!! what made me realize this is rather shocking- I realized that i had had my check for two full days and hadnt even bothered to open it. crazy huh? then i said to hell with it, left it where it was, finally took a nap, and decided i would look at it later...

well, on to better things....FOOD!

good night

2004-06-27T04:09:00.000-05:00

so its about 4:15 and i just got home from work. pretty good night- i got my first crispy cream in 2 weeks after work. man, i didnt realize how much i missed them and how absolutely scrumptious they are!! then i got to thinkin about how i missed donuts so much after not having one for two weekswhich led to recalling that i havent jumped in nearly a month and a half. made me sad. i want to go soooooo bad. you have no idea. but, other than that downer, its been a good night. im still pretty hyped right now, but i have to be in kilgore in less than 6 hours to work on my project so i need to be sleepy so i can go to bed. oh well. is anyone reading this? its boring as all hell, huh. sorry bout that. ill work on spicin it up for the ppl who dont and wont read. so bored...but so hyper....the combination isnt doin much for me. o! had a highlight the other day- i got to go see some of my friends in tyler!! yea! it was awesome to get to see them. i miss my friends. i dont get to see or talk to anyone anymore. it was a lot of fun. chiles has awesome turkey sandwhiches. i know it sounds like a dumb thing to get from there to those of you who havent tried it, but trust me- very tasty. great. now im hungry. i learned i have a knack for makin breakfast pizzas- even my dad admits they're good!! no burning either (i know ur all giving me pats on the back in your minds). you ppl need to be awake at 4am. i have nothing to do! i want to talk to someone!! wow, this is really long. yea for random ramblings before dawn even becomes an issue of the day. just a tip for you late-nighters- the only time i have to watch tv is after work so i tell you this from experience- there is NOTHING on at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning. the cable company does feel we are valued customers apparently and i have a major problem with this! anyone with me? lets storm the cable companies across the nation, start riots, and demand better night owl viewing...sounds like fun...admit it. when i get to austin we should definately have a jello fight. not to be confused with jello wrestling. if you were a badass kid and know about jello fights- props to you. does anyone know if freddie is working on the painting for michelle and me? are all my austin kids havin good summers? well, i could keep typing random junk, but now im getting bored with it all. yall have a good night!

here goes...

2004-06-26T01:42:00.000-05:00

so this is my second "post". (thanks kellan.) i got off work early tonight. it sucked, i didnt want to. oh well. better luck next time, right? for those who are interested in the shocking turn of events, not only did michelle and i get a blog thingy on the same day, apparently ki did too! i think the three of us are losing our collective minds. hows everyones summer? i havent talked to anybody in what seems like forever!! i have no free time at all. well, im back to studying. yall write stuff to me!

wow...and you thought the day would never come

2004-06-25T09:28:00.000-05:00

hey darlins!
being the trend conscience person that i am, (you've missed my sarcasm over the summer, havent you) i decided to try and get myself one of these blog thingys. i should be studying for the major tests (2) i have this morning in american lit, but...well, you know me- i got bored. so anyways, this is my effort at making an effort to be computer trendy. hopefully someone will tell me how to work this thing and what to do with it or this will probably be my last writing. is this a post? or is it called a comment? an entry maybe? help me! im off to study some more now. bye!
