Not Your Average Jane

Ever since I started writing about soul mates last night I've been thinking about nothing but... I mean not only what if you didn't recognize them as the other half of you, but what if, God forbid they were married or had died or were gay? What then? Does life just end? Or do you go on and find a mate that just seems suitable to you as a spouse? What is the plan for if for some reason you couldn't BE with your soulmate? If they're married or whatever does that mean they aren't actually your soul mate and have discovered their soul mate in their current partner? In that case, they probably weren't your soul mate to begin with but just say they had settled for someone and WERE your soulmate, what then? So many questions and so few answers.... Which in my opinion just would suck and stuff... Anyway thats it for tonight its to bed with me, before I think of other things that could get me in more trouble... :0) Laters....

Today for the first time I heard a reference to Tigger in one of my classes... I've been in education classes for like 2 years and my declared major until last semester was elementary education and it took this long to get a Tigger reference? Damn skippy, talk about your running behind... It was in my 10 oclock class this morning talking about unorganized classrooms and the professor made a comment about kids bouncing off walls like they were Tigger... Cute huh? :0) Also in class today, I started thinking about where I'm going to live after graduation next May... Sure with mom in Houston for a bit while I interview for jobs and get certified and stuff... But after that, where do I want to live and work? Up til this last summer I would have said New Braunfels, hands down.... Now its a toss up between Austin , San Antonio, San Marcos and New Braunfels.. Austin, I like but I don't know if I'd like living there... San Antonio, its a city in south central Texas, close to the hill country and the beach and New Braunfels, as much as I've come to adore it, is a bit of a tourist trap... So yeah, decisions, decisions and stuff... Which brings me (kind of) to the subjects of blind dates... I have to decide whether or not to to go home and once I decide THAT I have to decide if I should let a friend of mine set me up or not... He made me promise to at least consider it, and what can I say he caught me at a weak moment (8 am he called and I was still asleep, unable to form any sort of coherent thought...) and now I'm beating myself up over it... I adore this guy, he's one of my really good friends, but there are very few people I trust to set me up and none of them are straight guys. (as this particular friend trying to set me up is.) I don't trust blind dates, I've seen too many end... on less than friendly terms, shall we say... The only time I've been set up (wasn't actually a formal 'set-up' more like matchmaking) was my best friend Natalie with one of her now husband then boyfriend's Marine buddies... It might have worked out too, had he not gone AWOL and schizo... He was a really good guy, just my type, but it just wasn't going to work since he came back paranoid about 'the man' getting him... So yeah there ended my brief foray into blind dating... Speaking of dating... I've been thinking about soulmates lately... Yeah I believe that everyone has a soulmate somewhere and when you meet them you just somehow know, you know? But I just got to thinking, what would happen if we didn't recognize our soulmates? Pass them on the street or in traffic,and don't even give them a second glance because we don't recognize them... Kind of a scary thought.... But on a brighter note, I'm more and more sure I'm going home on Thursday for the weekend! I miss my house and my town and my Firehouse and my Galleria and my Central Market.... (ok so maybe I don't own them, but I should at least have stock in them I go there so often...) And both my sisters will be in town, how sweet is that? All 3 Fritz girls loose in the city... *evil laugh* :0) Anyway its time for lil ol me to hit the hay hay hay... I'm still exsausted from yesterday... Anyway, laters....

I hate it when men cry... Perhaps hate is too strong a word... I sympathize greatly with men who cry... That sounds more accurate. It rips my heart, to see a guy reduced to tears... I can't help but cry too. But I watched Tarzan tonight on the WB, and when Travis Fimmel, as Tarzan, walked into the room he lived in as a boy, tears running down his cheeks, I started to cry too... It was such a moment... I don't know if its that he's a really REALLY good actor to make me believe he's a guy thats lived in a jungle for 20 years and comes back after being kidnapped by his evil uncle only to fall in love with a cop and has some major issues with his family overall and knowing who to trust and not to trust or that hes a really hot guy crying... Either is a distinct possibility. But then again I've always had a weakness for blonds, shaggy haired or not... Which brings to mind an episode of Cribs I saw today... With Paul Walker... Gawd I love that man... Plays guitar, surfs and looks amazing to boot... What's not to love? Yeah its another one of those blond guy things, horrible of me I know... But anyway, my day.... Actually let me start with yesterday.... We didn't ever go wedding dress shopping, in fact we didn't leave for Russellville until about 9 or so last night... Enjoyed the hot tub, as always and started my own fan club.... So far, I've got a lab, a sheltie, and cat as members, any other applicants? :0) So anyway we didn't leave there until dawn after a night of doing laundry, and watching both the Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring Special Edition AND the Two Towers, we finally left about 7 or this morning and by 8 am I was in bed for the first time all night... So yeah its the first all nighter I've pulled in years.... Without drinking (ok 2 sips of a margerita) or live music or surrounded by smoke or even studying for that matter... A rather nice change I find... :0) So needless to say I slept most of the day, almost till 3... Had to run to Walmart and get Dr. Pepper, as I was COMPLETELY out... Thats a bad bad thing as everyone knows... :0) But anyway, other than that, my life's not all that exciting at the moment.... Though heres a bit of trivia for you.... Why is it that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre is called that when the true story happened in someplace like Wisconsin? Why does Houston have soooo much crime? And lastly, why do I feel as though I've opened a Pandora's box by letting certain friends of mine, who happen to be very opinionated, know that a website like this existed? :0) That's about it for now... More laters....

School sucks, but its nessacity.... I mean come on how teachers do you know withOUT a bachelor's degree in something or another? At least I get the hell gone in May... Speaking of graduation.... I'm pretty sure I'm skipping my own and going to Lauren's in Ft. Worth... To me its only a walking across a stage and getting a little piece of paper a few monthes later to prove you've survived the college experience.... I've got enough memories to do that thank you very much... I think in college I can honestly say I learned most of what I know about the world in college.... Kinda ironic since I grew up in Houston, and then went to college in small towns, that just happened to be in 'dry' counties *throat clearing* "Yeah, right..." ANYWAY... even though I grew up in H-town (aren't I o so ghetto now?) I was fairly sheltered, by my family and then by my friends... I had to get out in order to discover the true me... The oxymoron that is me that is... Or walking contradiction as Brody likes to say.... Its always been true and I suppose it may always be true... Cuz if it wasn't I'd be a schizo, in which case that would just suck... Speaking of college and high school and friends I got to thinking today about how I've burned alot of bridges with people I was friends with or at least friendly with in both locations... And now that I look back and realize that it makes me a bit sad because some of them were awesome people in their own right. And ya know I love awesome peeps... And not so awesome ones on occasion... Though I think everyone can be awesome in some way... Whether it be in the looks department or in some facet of their personality that is just soooo.... unique you just can't help but want to be around them you know? Which kind of but not really leads me to birthdays.... Mines not till the 6th of December... A Saturday this year.... But James's B-day is Sunday so we're gathering around ye old hot tub hopefully with some cocktails Saturday night to celebrate.... I need it after the week I've had... But I digress, So anyway Heather and I are going to look for wedding dresses tommorrow in Russellville and sort of make a day of that and then go to James' so she can do laundry too... She can't seem to find what shes looking for and I personally think she's just going to wind up making it anyway, since shes so handy dandy with a needle and thread and stuff... And while we're out and about we'll see if I can find the pieces to complete my pirate outfit.... If worse comes to worse I can always look for something if I go home next weekend, which seems to be looking like more and more of what I want to do, since not just Linz will be there, but Lauren's driving down from Wort Forth.... Oops I meant Ft. Worth.. hehehe.... I watched on the edge of country tonight and the first video I see is Charlie Robison's 'Right Man for the Job', where he's doing nothing more than walking around a town looking like a pimp, cane and all... Good name for ol' Charlie, Pimp Charlie Char char.... Hardy har har.... :0) Then at one point in the video he joins a break dancing group... Either very scary or very funny depending on your point of view I'm leaning toward the scary side... Music television leads me into the subject of sellouts... The listypoo goes like this: #1 Toby Queer, #2 Kenny Chesney, and #3 Green Day (though I love the fact they made punk more popular). Toby becase he made the ultimate insult to a song or truck and appeared, playing his guitar in a Ford commmercial singing one of his songs.... Its one thing for Fowler's, Cooder Graw's, or Cross Canadian Ragweed's songs to be used for a Dodge truck commercial, but Queerish's song for Ford? Its an insult to Ford! I drove one for 3 years and sure we had issues, but it survived my whole family, 3 beginning drivers and my mom, as well as my aunt and one of my cousins... Not alot of people can say that about anything! As for Kenny Chesney.... He needs 4 or 5 other guys to write his shitey little ditties a 1st grader could write.... Though y a 1st grader would I shudder to think... Female singers in modern country music are simply overplayed.... Faith Hill's ok in small doses, Shania Twain I can't stand anymore, and I love Reba, but the Nashvegas isn't putting out a lot of her stuff her lately, maybe because she's been on Broadway and TV and stuff, but who really knows for sure? Sure I envy them all their success, but I still can't stand the Nashville sound. Though if a guy is hot like Keith Urban, Dierks Bentley or Andy Griggs, I'll give him half a chance if only to stare at them.... I'm not ashamed to admit that, I'm a woman and I enjoy men, so whatcha gonna do? Sue me for all two dollars I currently have? That'd just be wrong... :0)But anyway back to female singers... I think that chicks like Fannin Franklin and Miranda Lambert deserve more props than they're getting... Though Miranda WAS on Nashville Star... However successful that was... That guy sucks too... A demo singer for 10 years and still plugging away? And he had a family to support too! Also wrong... Unless his wife was an independantly wealthy woman or something... I've dated musicians, they don't make a lot and most of what they make goes to traveling expenses (food, hotel, equipment), recording, and probably what seems to me the biggest expense, alcohol... I mean how much Jager can you possibly drink? On that note, I think I'd better wind this down and go to bed, so I'm more fully prepared to shop till I drop tommorrow, though if I do it till I drop, then I'll be gone till Christmas... Although, wedding dress shopping seems to take more out of me than that, even though I'm not doing more than just giving my opinion on the stuff Heather's trys on... Oh, well... Laters....

So I just got back on my computer to try to search for some stuff on a movie I was watching earlier, but for some reason Yahoo, MSN, and Google, my 3 usual search engines refused to work.... Don't they just suck... So I'm sitting here listening to late night talk shows, trying to figure out whether or not I'm going to go home next week for Fall Break.... Its only a 4 day weekend and 2 of those would be sent traveling... But Cooder Graw and Boland and the Stragglers are at the Firehouse.... Ya gotta know I love me some Monty... ;0) The only thing I love more than Monty is some Bleu but thats about as likely as me surfing a 50 foot wave bare ass naked... But anyway I don't know whether I'll go home or not..... I'm also trying to figure out whether or not Pat Green is playing at UCA on Nov. 13th, cuz its on his webpage but I've heard from 2 guys here on campus its been canceled because his wife is having issues with her pregnancy.... I'm inclined to believe them but I think I'll call UCA just in case.... Its not like the world will end if I don't see Pat play, since I saw him with Phil Pritchett and Cross Canadian Ragweed back in July and thats the first time in almost 2 years I've seen him live.... Last time was at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.... Oh, my, those were some good times... *evil laugh* :0) Also it dawns on me, since I do my best thinking at night, that I have no idea what's wrong with the world today... UT lost to OU, ok I can understand that, OU is better (shh, lets keep that on the downlow) but I gotta be loyal to my TU, ya know? Even though we all know that when they play A & M whom my loyalties switch to.... :0) As for the world series (should that be capitalized?), I could have predicted that in the preseason.... At least on the part of the Yankees... The Marlins just got lucky playing Chicago in the playoffs.... How the Hades did THEY get into the playoffs? Did someone die, or get bribed?!?!?! What the heck happened to my Astros? Too much drama with the changing of the home fields and then the changing of said home field's name like 4 times in the preseason? Ok, ok so I forgive them, since they were closer than they ever have been.... Which leads me into Ahh-nold.... Not really but we'll pretend it did...
Who voted and how the hell did he get elected as governor? Can anyone actually understand anything that man says? Can he even run even though he was born in Austria or wherever??? NEway I should get to bed, even though my 10 oclock class tommorrow morning has been canceled, somy first class isn't until 2... Actually my only class... Go me huh? NEhow hi ho hi ho its off to bed I go!!! Laters....

It just occurred to me over my dinner of Smores Pop Tarts, that for those of you who read this, that I put nothing about myself... Sure I put stuff about my life, but no background info for which someone could form a mental image of me or what my life is like... So here's the dealio... I'm a 24 years old, 25 in December, female type person. I'm from Houston, TX originally and I'm a senior at University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, AR.... I graduate from this popsicle stand in May and plan to move to Central Texas, most likely San Marcos, New Braunfels, or Austin areas... I like traveling, all sorts of music, reading, kids and animals.... Don't like liars, cheats, or drama.... I'm 5'5", green eyes, average build, currently have red hair and wear glasses.... Currently single, but have a couple of prospects.... I'm boy crazy, so shoot me.... I'm a smart ass, and I think I have a good sense of humor..... But that's about all I can think to put here for now, unless I go into detail on my current crush, who I can go on about forever, but I won't, you can thank me later.... :0) With that, I'm gone again.... Laters....

Hey, yall... Wow, my very first post... I feel almost all powerful... *insert evil laugh* Today, not alot happened. Though I should have gone to see one of my professors, she wasn't ever in her office.... Doesn't she know she should be awaiting my every whim? Hehehe... Today was picture day so of course I had to dress really nicely, and I did get a few compliments... Oh, by the way, this is the outfit I bought at the Gap for like fifty dollars and when I tried it on asked the 3 guys waiting on me if they'd do me in that outfit... Nice reaction on that one.... Gawd I love being a redhead!!!
Yesterday I went to Russellville and found another 2 pieces for my Halloween costume, who knew being a pirate was such work?
Now to completely change the subject, cuz I'm just random that way.... :0) I just saw Reckless Kelly's 'Nobody's Girl' video followed by Cooder Graw's 'Better Days' video on GAC, and I almost cried, seriously... All these bands I love are starting to get so popular they're on CMT and GAC and stuff.... And I can now watch this program on GAC where I'm ALMOST guarnteed I won't be forced to see Tim Mc -ew, his wife or Kenny Chesney or Toby Queer (sure hes from Texas, but that doesn't excuse his behavior, his songs, and his overall being.... Anyway I think thats if for today.... Maybe I'll go to quarter beer night since i don't have any homework.... Laters.
