ok a wee little update..... I still have no car.... Insurance companies suck... School's almost over (today was the last day of class) and Katie's home waiting for JD to come to town next week.... I'll do more laters, Mel's on her way over.... hehehe... :0)

Sunday, April 25, 2004

So its been one hell of a weekend.... Heather and Melly were both in town Friday night and we wound up hanging at the coffee house and watching Cheaper By the Dozen... Heather left Saturday and Melly and I went to Russellville.... Damn, that was one memorable trip... On the way there we get flicked off by some random (rude) old guy... And we keep passing each other and the chick in the back seat keeps looking back at us like we were going to go off and road rage on their asses... I was laughing so hard I almost cried... When we got to R-Ville we went to the Toyota place and I got the # for the service dept. to call in the morning and then we went to Staples... I was convinced I could find a Power Point program for less than 50 $'s... Was I wrong!!! Cheapest I found it was 110 at Hastings later that day.... So after Staples we go to Walmart and Hastings.... By this time its din din time so we grab Whattaburger (not to be confused with Whataburger)... Where we run into Box, whom I haven't seen since he broke up with Sofia like sophmore year... Wow... He hasn't changed a bit... We didn't have time for more than a hi and how are you and bye, but its interesting to run into people after so long... So yeah, we brought dinner back to the house and watched Secondhand Lions.... Mel came over and we went to the coffeehouse to see Some Guy Named Robb (yes that was the name of the band....) play... We stayed there till almost 11.... One point in time Lala called me (drunk) and Robb was like let me talk to her and I'm like no I don't think so so I went outside to finish our conversation... All night long whenever he asked for requests I would name a song or an artist and he kept threatening to kill me, throw drum sticks at me, etc... A normal concert experience all and all... :0) He kept replying name someone who isn't good, so I finally got him with New Kids on the Block... He actaully kinda hummed/sang the first line... Funny chit... Also funny, the fact he reminded of Bleu a bit... Looks wise and the way he played mainly... ( can safely say Bleu would probably look good with long hair... :0) ) So yeah that had me crushing on him a little.... But everyone knows what bad news band guys are so yeah, no.... Came home and watched TV and went to bed... Woke up, ate, watched TV, Melly left, did homeowork, and checked my email... I found out Katie got hurt in a car crash from Kevin.... (Thanks again for the heads up, Kev!) The way he put it she was in some dire straits for a while, but she should pull through... I felt a whole lot better after I got on GW and read the updates... Kev didn't (until now of course) know about my sensitivity to car crashes... Its not nearly as bad as Heather is, but I do tend to worry more than I normally would when I hear the words 'car crash'... If yall could send up a prayer or 2 on her behalf, as well as for her family and JD, I'd appreciate it sooooooo much.... Thanks, yall!
Also Amanda got an apartment (we won't go into that sensitive subject tonight....) and they charge like 150 $'s extra for pets, so she got rid of the cat... Gave him to friends of hers here in town... (won't go into how I feel about that either....)
Other than that, I'm just playing catch up on homework and stuff... Last week of classes and then finals... Oh, I talked to mom, Lala and Linz tonight... We're all set for La's graduation in Ft Worth on the 8th.... Whoo hoo!!! Anyway thats it for now... Laters!

Thursday, April 22, 2004

So there are tornadoes north of town... Lovely, lovely... Its just sooooo been my week this week... That was my version of sarcasm for those that don't know.... The car broke down yesterday... The guy that looked at it thinks its the back end (again...) and the earliest I could get it back (if every thing works out) is Tuesday... For those that want to know.... I dropped off my graduation announcements and as I was on the way back to the house and coming around the turn from the coffee house, hit the curb a bit and the car started slowing down... I tried to floor it with very meek results... I thought it was the tires so I pulled over and got out to check them all... They were fine so I got in to try to back out and every time I switched gears it made a whiny sound and the stupid bitch wouldn't move at all!!! I called Amanda, we kidnapped Andrew and he looked and dianosed it as either the transmission or the back end and since he used to work on cars, I'm inclined to believe him... So then I called Triple A and got my car towed to a garage here in town... They're supposed to call me today or tommorrow to let me know whats up and give me an estimate.... Damn Toyota.... I shouldn't have gotten out of bed yesterday.... Least Amanda made dinner and it was awesome... And I got to finish watching the Rundown and we watched Honey tonight.... Stoopid tornado siren interupted that towards the end... Least Heather and Melly wil be here this weekend so I won't get too bored.... hehehehe.... :0) Anyway I think I'm going to try and ignore these stupid thunderstorms and go to bed.... Laters....

Tuesday, April 20, 2004

Ok, I'm tired and Golden Girls is on... Is someone trying to tell me something there? :0) I'm almost done with my graduation announcements... I've got a few left and I'm almost out of stamps.... So hurry now and send me your address if you want one! Get em while they last! LOL....
Seriously, I still have that damn glue taste in my mouth... After most of a smoothie (yes the guy there tried to hit on me again.... Thank God I was on the phone with Becca or I might have been forced to speak to him.... Just cuz you know my name and that we're both from Houston, don't expect me to fall at your feet...) and a cookie and a few sips of DP no less.... Damn, its nasty stuff, I tell ya!
Does the date4/20 have the same meaning as 4:20 I wonder??? And if so is it possible to smoke ALL day??? :0)
So, yeah, Natalie emailed me and I emailed her back and got her phone # so I need to call her in the next couple of days.... Oh, speaking of Nat... I now know 2 people going to Iraq... Well one's already there but her hubbie is being shipped out in June... Reminds me, I haven't talked to Mike or Merc lately.... Last time I heard from either of them they were both in Cali though in completely opposite directions....
I went to bed early last night... Made it to both my classes... Ran into Zach for the first time in awhile (ran into Smalls yesterday on the way to class), talked to him for a bit.... Went to the primary.... Filled out a stoopid survey for the stoopid school..... Had lunch at Subway... Amazingly enough I ran into Greg.... Wow, he hasn't changed much since I last saw him and Pete and Brian.... I don't think I've seen him since they graduated... Pete's still in Tyler, Brian is still Brian (Lord love him and help the world.....) and Greg is still dating Casey... (the biatch.... She's always treated him like shit and yet he stays with him???? I so don't understand... :0( )
The cat's acting psycho.... And I've started calling him Butterscotch for some reason.... Becca hit a cat on the way home.... Reminded me of Nat hitting a squirrel i driver's ed and the time I hit a armadillo on the way home from work one night... Ah, memories.... She and and Rich went to see the Alamo and I had to reassure him that it wasn't a typical Disney flick.... Poor boy was really worried about that.... :0) I talked to him and I realized how mature he sounded... I remember back when I used to torment him cuz he was smaller than me (and he's always been like a younger brother...) and now he's graduating high school and way over 6' tall... Am I feeling the years? Perhaps the Golden Girls reference will help clarify that for ya.... :0) Anyway I'm off to see a speech by a special guest speaker for bonus points in Intergrated Methods.... Laters...

Sunday, April 18, 2004

Hi, hi, hi.... Happy Sunday.... I apoligize in advance for lots of misspelled words and funky phrases... I'm tired and I'm still recovering from last night....
Friday, I went to the movies with Mel and saw the Prince and me.... Yesterday, Amanda and Julie came over and convinced me to go to Little Rock witht them for Amanda's B-day party... So we (Me, Julie, Amanda and Matt) get into to LR bout 3 and go to Dwayne's apartment... We hang out there, go to Park Plaza mall, and then picked Heather up at 5:30 at her hotel... We met up with O and Nicole just b4 6 at this placed called Crazy Hibachi.... Turns out to be one of those Japenese resaurants like Benihana's where they cook the food in front of you.... A few tidbits were learned here... First off Nicole is remarried.... To her best friend (poor man)... But she has a baby and he's from her first marriage... Weird... Julie and Jeremy are engaged... I knew they were dating, had no clue they were that serious.... Also the steak that that place was kick ass... Seriously... I had a piece and I was like groaning, it was soooo good.... Anyway, so after dinner we head down to Markham.... We try this one piano bar Nicole had talked about (her and O had both went home by now and btw without speaking a word to me... Interesting....). The bar tender was rude and the drinks sucked (they had nothing frozen!!!). So we try this other place and they have no frozen drinks either... So we finally settle on this other place with no cover and a live band (called the Swinging Johnsons... They also threw condoms out on the floor... I'm still not sure if it was a joke or innuendo...). By now I was buzzing.... A couple of Kamikaze's and a margerita and a most of a daquari will do that to ya... Then I sipped off Dwayne'sLong Island Iced tea too... Whoo, boy, did I forget how strong THOSE were.... So anyway I danced a time or two... Dwayne, Julie and Amanda went to play pool.... Heather went to the ladies room and I text messaged a couple of my friends and one to my sister.... A creepy weird guy tried to hit on me... Ew ew ew... Anyway Heather came back and she Matt and I went for a walk and wound up on the river bank... Talking and stuff.... Amanda called us and they came down from the bar.... We all walked along the river bank and found a playground... We immediately (most of us anyway) started to explore it and play... Then we went to Heather's hotel and hung out for a bit... Then on the way back to Dwayne's to drop him off, we ran out of gas.... 2 am, on the interstate, in a bad part of town we run out of gas.... It was an intersting experience to say the least.... So we finally drop Dwayne off and get going and finally get back to campus about 4:30 this morning.... And I finally made it into bed about 5.... I woke up at 10 and I couldn't go back to sleep... And my stupid nose wouldn't quit running... So I'm going to eat my left overs and watch Cold Creek Manor with Mel... Just as soon as I shower that is..... :0) Laters!

First and foremost a shout out to Melly... The world's greatest roomie... Even though she had to go and graduate, the goober....
So on the the show.... :) I talked to Chuck and Melly last night for the first time in a while... (Thanks for pulling me out of the doldrums, yo...) Talked to Chuck about the Amanda situation... He had some suggestions... Not sure if I like them, but he was trying to be helpful.... Melly and I relived the past with talk about the MMC, way back inthe day and all the peeps that are famous or nearly famous today that were originally on the show.... Kinda cool... Melly also told me that my last entry, was really enlightening... And I've thought about it and it really is... I mean, my dad's still a big part of me, even though he's dead, cuz I mean I look like him (except I'm a girl), I have his mannerisms and I think like him... I've got his blood running through my veins and his last name (least till I get married and then it may change, maybe not...). Anyway other stuff... I realized something yesterday...
I was on GW and someone said something about being mean (prob. Kevin....) and I made a crack about love hate relationship.... I just wanna clear something up... Kevin and I have a very unique friendship... Its not your usual hey how are you, talk for a while and go your seperate ways.... But Kevin and I are a weee bit different... I'm a nice person (people always like to talk about how sweet I am - not to sound conceited...) and most of my conversations are normal (ie hey whats up, etc...). But with Kevin, its different.... We go at each other, claws extended.... Interesting, yes, normal, no... Which I don't really mind, I actaully rather enjoy our talks... So I just wanted to take this chance to announce something... Drum roll please.... Kevin is my newest boy toy.... Hehehehe.... Of course he didn't know it till now.... But there you have it.... Any other applicants? Brian? ;) Anyway I'm off like a prom dress... Laters!

WARNING: This entry is very introspective and may make you teary-eyed!!!!!

Ok, so I don't usually post twice in a day, but I had a moment earlier and I just wanted to share.... I was playing with the cat earlier and one of my pictures fell off the table somehow... It was the old pic of my dad, me and Lauren way back before Linz was born... The stoopid cheap frame broke so I had to go to Walmart and get a new one.... But my moment.... Extreme Makeover home was on and I fell in love with Ty AGAIN.... He was sooo sweet and the little old lady was so grateful and so happy... It was greatness... I shed a tear or two, as well... (my rule - no one cries alone around me, whether it be on TV or up close and personal....) Still not my moment, yet... So I went to pick up my picture and I toss the frame and I look at the picture and I realize, I had almost forgotten what he looked like.... He died in '90 and I've had this pic for a few years, but I've never looked at it... I mean really looked at it until tonight.... I stared so hard, that the picture went out of focus... Have you ever done that? Been so intense in a task or a look that everything else just faded out? Its one hell of an experience... I wondered when I was looking at him, what he was thinking when that picture was taken (it was predivorce and pre Linz - so who knows?). Had he come to the realization that he was alcoholic yet? Did he have ulcers yet? Did his smile looked a little forced or was that just my imagination? Was he always so unhealthy looking or was that me? Then I wondered about the funny little things like I wonder if Lauren knows how silly she looks almost bald? Or that I look good without bangs and glasses.... And why in the world did mom dress us so identically all the time? (once Linz came along it got worse until we all rebelled when I was in jr. high....) Anywho I went to Walmart and got a new frame, I don't like it as much, but it'll do for now.... But I still wonder if the image I've always had of Daddy was a fantastic image that was almost larger than life or just the image every little girl has of her daddy, who can do no wrong..... Yeah, anyway.... Thats really all for now... Laters.....

Ok, first and foremost since he was complaining about it.... SHOUT OUT TO KEVIN.... (Better, dear? ;) ) Sorry yall he thinks he's the greatest thing since sliced bread, but what he doesn't realize is that my heart belongs to Dennis Quaid? LOL... Love ya too, Kevey-Kev! Other shout outs... Katie, I love the new colors on your blogger! Lavinia, you da woman! Kara, and Sarah its had to say which of you is cooler! JD - You may be from Georgia but you're all right by me... Jason and Brian, Yankees God love em, but cool nonetheless... And Stu, dude, you own!
Ok, enough with the shoutouts.... On with the show...
Last night AIM was being a bitch and kicked me off, my connection timed out and then my freakin' computer froze on top of that! How annoyed was I? Very... So I went to bed.... Made it to my 8 oclock, found out I have a C in there.... Came home, at breakfast, went to EC 2... Aye, now there's a worrisome class... I'm not sure how well I can do.... If I don't make at least a C I can't graduate... And Lord knows I'm not having that! After class I went to an OSEA meeting..... Anyone wanna buy some raffle tickets? :0) Came home, had lunch, checked my email and chilled on GW.... Watched Ellen and Wayne Brady.... Made dinner after Oprah and talked to Heather.... We had a nice long discussion about Amanda and her new man, and some old history that we'd been through thats very similar.... As well as about her wedding and fiancee and my classes..... We didn't really come up with a solution to the problem but I feel better just talking about it... Amanda went home for the night and took Andrew and his friend David with her.... Umm... Okay.... You've known the boy like 2 weeks and you're already taking him home? Wtf?!?!? I don't care if your brother wants to meet him, Joe wants a lot of stuff doesn't mean he'll get it all.... Geez.....
In other news... I finally watched Far From Heaven.... Um, next time I rent a movie, remind me to read the back cover.... I don't mind movies that are made to look old, or gay guys, but the drama and the fact Dennis Quaid was a gay guy was a little hard for me to swallow... (he had no gay mannerisms, which even if he was trying to hide it, should have been apparent.... And making out with the guy in the office didn't count.... Any guy can make out with any other guy (they don't though, thank goodness....).) Lets see what else? AI is on a little bit, but I'm finding I don't care so much about that... So I think I'll watch Friends.... O, o, before I forget.... Becca, I actually used something you taught me today!!!! I cut the kitty's nails all by myself! He wasn't sure what to think, but now he can't scratch us up as badly.... And he can't climb on stuff (like us) and he gets this cute bewildered look on his face, like what the hell.... Its adorable.... :0) Then Amanda almost yelled at me... I hope you didn't use nail clippers.... I'm like, duh, yeah, George I did, that's what you're supposed to do... She's like no, he's a kitten you're supposed to use special kitten trimmers... I'm like what the f???? Anyway enough of that.... I have a 3 day weekend and a bunch of work to finish up/do and an invite to Little Rock on Saturday night for Amanda Y.'s B-Day party... So we'll see what happens... For now I'm just sleeping late tommorrow and meeting my IL group at 11 to work on our case studies.... Thats all for now.... Laters!

Wednesday, April 14, 2004

I forgot to mention yesterday about the whole Zach/Josh/Mel thing.... I don't kow how, but its cute anyway.... Mel and I were coming back from Hastings the other day and we see Josh and Zach out jogging together, now I love them both dearly, but they are far too pretty (esp. Zach since he grew his hair out...). Then we saw CPD and I joked that we should stop the cop and tell him to arrest Josh and Zach, cuz they were far too pretty to be guys... See, cute, huh? :0) I also ran into the other Zach and talked to him a bit... He's working full time out at the winery and so he hasn't had a lot of time to hang out... Too bad he's fun to hang with.... Also haven't talked to Monkey or ONeal lately.... Wonder how they are? O, ran into Mark today on the way to class and guess who hit the button for me? Mark of course... He did and then looked at me and was like old habits die hard... And I was like thanks for calling me old, biatch... Funny moment of the morning there... GW still isn't working, damnit.... I don't know why, it just isn't.... Angel's on... AI was on a bit ago, but I didn't really watch it... I'm finding its not as great as it was... And I can't figure out why I had a thing for John Peter Lewis... I thought he was cute!?!? Umm, ok... Call it a weak moment.... Oh, well, its on to bigger better things... No class Friday... I'm not going to the primary 2morrow so I have like a 3 and a half day weekend.... Heather and Rashaun are supposed to be in town this weekend for Alumni weekend and Heather's supposed to bring Katari... Speaking of which I need to email her... Hm.... I was going to have a Dennis Quaid movie marathon today, with Frequency and Cold Creek Manor and Far from Heaven if I had time.... But I fell asleep right after lunch and woke up at 5 or so... So I only watched Shaft... Not a Dennis Quaid movie, but classic nonetheless.... Let's see its baseball season... Haven't picked my teams yet, but of course the Astros on the list, just cause they're my hometown team.... Other than that I haven't got any favorites at the moment.... Depends on what other teams have guys with the best butts I suppose... hehehe... I'm soo bad, but I'm sooo good at it! :) Sweet, Knight Rider reference on Angel.... Hehehe... Not much else going on here.... Laters!

Tuesday, April 13, 2004

I've come to realize in the last few days how much I've been isolating myself from my friends... A wee bit with my friends at home (not so much Nate and the boyz, or Becca or my GW peeps.... And W and Doug and Scott and both B's, but more Natalie.... Ok, maybe only Natalie.....), but more here at school... I've run into a bunch of people I used to hang out with a lot (last year/last semester) and they've noticed I'm not nearly so.... visible on and around as I usually have been.... There's only a month left of class left so I don't know what to really do if anything at all about the whole situation...
Speaking of friends.... I've been thinking about writing Natalie for the last week or so, but I haven't done it... I don't know why, we've always been friends and gone for weeks and weeks without talking (though never this long)... She emailed me back in February and I emailed her back but never got an answer... I was going to call her when I was in town, but with the whole thing with the car and Texarkana stuff, I never got around to it.... How does one repair a friendship such as ours, I don't know... Geez, I'm soo not in the know anymore....
Actually I do know something.... I have a 3 day weekend (actually 3 and half since my last class is over by 11 Thursday morning....). It could have been 4 if Mel had been right about the assessment day thing... Its supposed to be a gorgeous weekend, so that oughta be greatness.... :0) Not much is happening, other than I missed my 8 oclock this morning since I overslept... I thought about making dinner but got Sonic instead... The cat's spent most of his day napping in my bed... Makes me wanna take a nap too... Having him around has made me realize I've missed having a cat, even thouh I'm not a cat person... How weird is that? And no Bec, I don't want Pecos back, thank you very much! :0) And as per Kevin's request, there is no mention whatsoever of Dennis Quaid... No mention of Dennis Quaid movie marathons, how good looking he is... No nothing... See Kev, I actually listen sometimes.... :0)
The whole situation with Amanda with her new amour I believe has been resolved.... I hope... I really should like his greasy, smelly friend more than I do... He digs Doug Moreland and punk rock... Or not... :0) GW isn't working for some reason.... I finally hooked up my new speakers today and they ROCK!!! I also put my new PG sticker on my car.... Gilmore Girls is on so I'm watching it..... She just made a drunk dial... Go Rory... Not that I know anything about drunk dials, mind you... I NEVER drink any sort of alcoholic beverage.... Yeah, right.... Anyway thats about it for this evening.... Laters....

Sunday, April 11, 2004

Ok, so a few apologies first and foremost... To everyone.... I wrote that last entry at midnight last night which is technically today, but I kept referring to Friday as yesterday.... To Kara, whom I accidently called Katie on my tagboard.... (I blame the drugs!!!!) And to Becca, since I talked to Linz tonight and she said she didn't want Pecos... But she does want a pet for her apartment, just not that particular pain in the ass.... :0)
Happy Easter yall!!! Hope the Easter bunny was good to you! And since I last posted I realized a few things that needed some adding to and/or tweaking... Numero Uno, the Alamo paid such close attention to detail that they even got the fact that Sam Houston rode a white horse named Saracen and that Santa Anna after San Jacinto, tried to disguise himself as a regular soldier... Though they said nothing about the mulatto chick that had been 'destracting him' ;) and came to be known as the 'Yellow Rose of Texas'.... Anyway enough Texas history for the moment... Also I realized that I was wrong about the voice thing for Dennis Quaid and Bleu.... Bleu has a smoker's voice all rough n stuff.... And Dennis Quaid has a husky voice with a hint of an accent... Speaking of Dennis Quaid *sigh*... He was mentioned in one of my ftrashy romance novels today... They were watching the Big Easy (God I love that movie!!!) and talking about one of the sex scenes... Thought that was sorta interesting....
I need a pedicure, yo... My feet are not quite pretty enough to be wearing my flip flops and stuff like I have been.... Does anyone else find the combination of Bob Dylan and Victoria's Secret strange??? First the commercials and now theres some sort of deal about a Bob Dylan CD at VS... Weirdness....
Oh, now I can say I know 4 people who have been in a Mexican whorehouse (though why I would want to I don't know....)... Isn't that just lovely? Even lovelier is the fact one of them is one of my exes.... Though it occured AFTER we'd broken up, thank God.... Ok, I'm off to do an article review thats due tommorrow.... Laters!

I realized shortly after I posted yesterday, GW is down till 4-11-04... It worked briefly enough for me to post that and a few other things as weill... So if you do want to read that story you'll have to wait till after 4-11..... Sorry, yall....
Last night I went to see Ella Enchanted... Was going to see the Alamo, but the drugs and the rain mixed with darkness screwed me up so I didn't think I could drive the 20 miles required to go see the Alamo... So I stayed in town and saw Ella Enchanted instead.... Its a damn cute movie.... Take your mom to see it for Easter, hell, take your sisters, aunts, and cousins while you're at it! Yes its a chick flick type movie... But funny nothing less... So I went to bed at 10:30 last night... Thats the earliest I've been to bed since like jr. high..... Course I kept waking up like every 2 hours till like 6 this morning when I finally managed to sleep till 10 or so.... (so being 11 ish...) Got up, showered, and went to Russellville, and FINALLY saw the Alamo.... By the way, I've officially taken myself off my meds.... I noticed very little change and the side effects were hella bad.... So the Alamo... WOW... Dude, that is one helladrama... From the beginning to the end.... I hardly noticed the passing of time (it was 2 and half hours long almost and most of yall know how bad my ADD is, and if you don't then you do now....). I'm a huge Texas History buff and to my knowledge they got everything right on... And they showed the point of views of the Mexicans and the Texicans.... It was incredible... It had the guy that played the bad guy (Johnny Tapia) in Bad Boys 2 as Juan Seguin, and Billy Bob Thornton as Davey Crockett, Jason Patric as Jim Bowie and Dennis Quaid as Sam Houston... It showed that these men weren't just myths or larger than life heroes, it showed them as men with faults like any other... It was greatness... I left the theater moved beyond belief and walking a little taller... I'm from Texas, screw you.... :0) Hell mi familia has been in Tejas since 1832... My dad's family has been in and around Seguin since then.... I've got Texas Rangers (law enforcement not the baseball team), Army, Navy, and Marine personnel, and teachers in my family tree.... I was born in Texas, raised in Texas, and I'm going to die there one day (not anytime soon, hopefully)... But anyway I also left the theater crushing on Dennis Quaid (again!)... I don't know why but every time I see that man.... *sigh* He and Bleu both have voiesI can listen to all day.... Bleu's got more a whiskey rough voice and Dennis Quaid is more... smooth I suppose.... Anyway so its almost one and Amanda just left with her new crush and one of his friends to go play pool... There's something about him that makes me uneasy I'm not sure what... Its just an instinct, I suppose... And after all these years I've begun to trust my instincts again, so I think I'll just stay on my guard, just in case... The fact I heard a little girl (ok so she was like 15 or 16) say here comes trouble (and look like she meant it) and said his name as he walked by, so I know she was referring to Amanda's Andrew.... Yeah that didn't help my discord..... Besides he's a townie and I know from experience how bad that can go.... Anyway on a brighter note, I text messaged a bunch of people last night before the movie started, including one to Lauren... She had Honeybrowne and Reckless Kelly (2 of our favorite bands) at a sorority thing a week or 2 again and I hadn't talked to her about it yet, so I texted her instead... She sent me a reply early this morning... And I quote...."I was drunk, I don't remember much... But I'm sure it was good..." Silly girl.... Anyway thats about it for now.... Laters!

So I'm bad, bad girl... I haven't written all week... Life has been a bit hectic.... School and stuff have taken up the majority of my time... Then when I'm not in class, I'm sick and/or asleep.... Then on top of that a friend of the family is in the hospital.... If you really wanna know the whole story there:

http://www.galleywinter.com/main/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=17361 (copy and paste it...)

Yeah, its soo non glorious... Then Thursday, I went to the emergency room cuz I was having trouble breathing... All they would tell was that I had lots of mucus... Well duh, dude it allergy season.. So they gave me a couple of Rx's and told to follow up with my regular physician.... Thanks for the astute observations dude....
So my friend W called while I was waiting and I told him I would call him back I was in the ER... He freaked, and called "Brandon" who in turn called me freaked out.... Of course I was asleep at home by the time he called with my phone on silent so he freaked out on my voice mail.... I called W b4 I fell asleep so he explained to "Brandon"... So then when I woke up I called "Brandon" back and got lectured.... Lucky me... I swear he was acting as though we were still dating it was weird... Nice but weird... Especially with the whole dating another girl thing.... I'm not really sure what to think on that front....

On with happier subjects though.... I slept with a man Thursday afternoon for the first time in months... He was blond and cute... And he weighs about 7 pounds and his name really is Trouble.... If you haven't figured it out by now, he's a cat....:0) I was taking a test Thursday morning and one of the questions was name two kinds of movement and the first thing that came to my mind that I almost put were 'drunk and sober'... Yeah, that would have been interesting...
I've also made up a new language... Canuckology.... Its all Jason's fault.... Instead of certain words you use Canuck instead... I.E. Instead of F You its Canuck you.... Gotta love how humorous that is...
Got my new PG hat and sticker in the mail, as well as my new speakers and graduation annoucements...
Donald Trump has something in common with my dad.... The hairstyle is similar and the whole aura of power.... weirdness..... And Trump's hand thing when he says your fired is exactly like Emeril does with "Bam".....
Was watching Nashville Star today it was a rerun of last weeks with Willie Nelson songs.... George Canyon sang one of my faves, 7 Spanish Angels.... I'd buy his record and he's not too bad to look at.... There was also a sign in the audience Nashville loves Willie and I was like, who DOESN'T love Willie? The Warren Brothers told Jennifer Hicks (why does that name sound familiar?) that she cried more than Chris Cagle.... Much as I love him (Lavinia - you know I do!!!) I think they had a point.... It seems every time I see him on TV (not in videos), he's sniffling and/or on the verge of crying.... On this season of Nashville Star I'm predicting Brent Keith as the winner... I don't like him, but he has though pretty boy (read - GAY) Nashvegas seems to like and look at the name... Is he related to Toby Keith?!?!?
All right that's about it for now... Except for my shout outs.... Kevin is a doof, but I love him anyhow... Katie, Sarah, Lavinia, and Kara ROCK... Jason, maybe a Canuck but cool in my book.... Brian will always be the Tampon God.... Becca, nothing but love for ya! Happy belated B-Day, John, sorry I missed it... Meghan B. - Happy B-Day girlie!!!!!!
If I forgot anyone I apologize in advance..... :0)
I'm going to see The Alamo tonight whoo hoo!!!! :0)
Laters!!!!!!

Sunday, April 04, 2004

So I really shouldn't be blogging at the moment.... I have a file folder game due tommorrow at noon and I've barely even started.... But here I am and here I'll stay.... I slept till almost 2 today so I can stay up late tonight.... :0) Lets see, Friday on the way to class I fell in lust 4 or 5 times, I think thats a new record even for me.... :0) So in Behavior Management we watched a video about bullying... Dr. Betty couldn't get it to work at first and then she got the sound and then the picture to work.... Of course the sound was pumped up and it was some sort of punk song (never expected punk in an educational video I must say....). She jumped like a foot in the air when the music came blasting through the speakers... It was freaking hilarious.... Even she laughed about it.... Before last week I wasn't very fond of her, but I'm finding myself liking her more.... Kinda weird, but cuz of the circumstances of the last few weeks, I've seen her true colors so to speak.... Anyway she said something about there being lots of trouble in a class and I instantly thought of Amanda's cat... LOTS of him in a class.... Then she went on to say something about no trouble and he poofed out of my mental pic.... Kinda funny... Lets see what else? Oh, Rashaun was up for the weekend and I spent most of yesterday talking to him... He and Zuri are finally engaged and they plan to live in Dallas for 2 years starting in the fall.... Then I went to see Jersey Girl with Melissa last night.... It was sweet and sad at the same time, I couldn't stop tearing up.... I came home in the mood to watch some senseless violence and so I went out and bought The Rundown.... Hotties and senseless violence, the perfect combination.... Sean William Scott is right up there with Paul Walker on the hotness scale....
OOOOO, before I forget.... I talked to "Brandon" Thursday and we're cool again.... I'm still hurt but I understand his reasoning better.... So yeah, I'm Alison and I'm single and ready to mingle.... How you doin'? ;0)
Had a weird dream the other night... Actually a few weird dreams.... Last night there was the one about Kid Rock in the Old West.... A few nights ago it was shopping with Jackass in JcPenney's.... Weirdness.... Anyway back to doing homework..... Laters!
