I close my eyes and I kiss that frog each time finding the more boys I meet the more I love my dog

So...here's what I know about the future of my television watching...and it's not looking too promising...

10. Dirt (FX, no premiere date): It's baaack. Courteney Cox's tabloid Hollywood parody returns on the first of the year, all set to dramatize and satirize the lives of L.A.'s biggest players, including Brit-Brit and K-Fed. Could there be a more warped version of these two real-life train wrecks? We're betting yes.

I'm feeling very out of it today...not sick or anything. Just light-headed...kinda like I'm extra ditzy today. I don't know why either. And even though I already have a pretty Nintendo DS...I would like the ice blue one. Okay...well...I'm going to go do a few productive things...and then play The Sims 2 DS for a little bit...

keep both hands up on the wheel destination anywhere keep both hands on the wheel take control

Yay for my fiancé!! He got me a Nintendo DS...specifically one like this!! And then...my brother got me Yoshi's Island DS...and my daddy and siblings got me The Sims 2. And...then I got a bunch of other stuff from everyone else.

Now...I have to go to the bank... I also have to do a few other things as well...but I really don't feel like going out in the cold.

Cards from 'Heaven'...how cute is that?

National Guardsman adopts Iraqi boy...that's pretty cool.

Happiest stories from 2007...I like the first story the best.

Hooray for no depressing stories today!!

a thousand miles seems pretty far but they’ve got planes and trains and cars I’d walk to you if I had no other way

Yesterday, I managed to lock my keys in the car...so my brother, being the criminal that he is, used a coat hanger and got my car unlocked so I could get the keys out. Then we went on our merry way to Hallmark so that he could do his usual thing of picking up pretty much the first card he finds that falls under the category he's shopping for that day (that's how I ended up with a sentimental from brother to sister card from him for my last birthday). Oh, and then last night in my attempts to get into the parking lot of Dunkin Donuts...I successfully ran over the parking block thingy. Seriously...yesterday was not a good day for me to be driving.

Today, I'm watching the girls...and I have to pick the older one up from school today...so that means starting about a half hour earlier than normal...plus, I might be watching a little later than usual also. But, since there was a snow day on Monday, and I'm getting paid for not showing up...starting a little earlier and staying a little later isn't a big deal.

For some reason my mommy is home right now...at least I think that she is. The van is here...but normally my mommy works at 9:00a on Fridays. I don't know what's going on...I don't know how that's going to affect dinner today (normally my family goes out to eat for dinner on Fridays).

Here's something amusing from Overheard in New York:

no work all play what a mistake let the clouds roll in and fill the sky

Hooray for me!! Hooray for refund checks!! Today, I got three envelopes from my school. One was my refund check for the $200 scholarship that I received...and the other two were from the Financial Aid office. One was a boring, informational packet thingy...and the other was a letter to inform me that I am a recipient of the [insert big, long name here] scholarship. So...in about a week I should get a second refund check? At least, that is the assumption that I've come up with. Basically, it just means that I technically didn't pay for school this Fall 2007 semester, but my school paid for it. Yay for me!! I'm amused though that on the scholarship letter, I received it today and it's dated today. I'm also amused that I completely finished the fall semester and then I found out about the fall semester scholarships awarded to me. Tsk tsk, school. Oh, well...that's awesomely good news!! Okay...I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to post again today.

I'm a happy girl everybody knows that the sweetest thing that you'll ever see in the whole wide world is a happy girl

Semester grades are available now...

ANT 2750 - Myth, Magic and Folk Religion - A
HIS 1700 - Michigan History - A

And yays for me!! I got a 4.0 this semester!! Which means my cumulative g.p.a. is higher (a 3.716 now, as opposed to the 3.667 it was)...still not high enough in my mind, but I know it's a good g.p.a.

got up on the wrong side of life today yeah crashed the car and I'm gonna be really late my phone doesn't work cause it's out of range

So...my 12 y/o brother called home from school complaining of a stomach ache twice. The first time he called, I told him to wait until after lunch and if he still felt as bad or worse, then to call home again. So...he called home again...and he sounded bad on the phone...but he didn't look so great in person either. Poor kid.

This dad
amuses me...especially since he says that his 15 year old son may get a Barbie game for the Wii...

Stupid, stupid, stupid WGA strike...it's so totally messing up my television viewing...

Brooks in Northampton, Massachusetts: When will Law & Order be back on the schedule?

L&O is back with all-new eps Jan. 2, and more important, it's back with two new characters. Linus Roache plays the new courtroom prosecutor, now that Jack McCoy has been bumped up to district attorney for the city. And I must admit, after watching Sam Waterston question witnesses for an astonishing 13 years, the change is quite a shock! The other newb is the fab Jeremy Sisto (Six Feet Under), who plays a member of NYPD's intelligence unit who returns to detective duty and signs on as Ed Green's new partner. (per E! Online's Watch With Kristin)

how cruel is the golden rule when the lives we lived are only golden plated and I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me

So...tonight is the younger brother's birthday party...and I guess that he and the youngest brother are supposed to clean their room. But since they haven't finished it yet...their ridiculously crabby father has "yelled" at them about it approximately three times since he got his lazy butt outta bed less than an hour ago (it's currently 11:23a and my mom and he got up after I did at about 10:45a). And of course, my mom just sits there and lets him irrationally yell at them. I could understand the negativity if they'd actually been up long enough to have had cleaned the entire room, but considering it's Saturday morning and they've always been allowed to watch cartoons until about noon before they really have to start getting their stuff done...why yell at them within 20 minutes of waking up?

Ugh...yesterday, while I was in class, the stepfather decided that I wasn't doing the laundry soon enough for his liking...so he decided to do it. Yeah, the only problem with that is that he did it the wrong way. Yes, the clothing was separated into good color groups...but he decided to wash the whites without bleach. And since the majority of the younger brothers' undies are white, they need to be bleached. Oh, and also there were towels in the washing machine that had been there since about Monday...so they'd been sitting in standing water pretty much and smelled awful...but he put them in the dryer anyway. Considering I folded and put those towels away this morning...I don't know what the rush in getting them clean was...there was hardly any room in the linen closet for the towels. I mean, like I had to force the towels into the closet.

So...yeah...I wish that I knew what made Mr. Crabbypants so crabby and moody. Specifically, what made him like that towards me as often as he is. ::sigh:: Oh, well...I can't do anything about it...so I should quit stressing over it... I mentioned to my mom about it last night at dinner and she just kinda rolled her eyes as if to say 'I don't know what you want me to do about it.' This is why I don't bother telling her about most of the minor things that her jerky husband does.

Hooray for my being part of a crazy, messed up family!! Yeah...or not...

sleigh bells ring are you listening in the lane snow is glistening a beautiful sight we're happy tonight walking in a winter wonderland

My poor 11 y/o brother, he got to school and then called home to say that he'd felt nauseous on the bus...hopefully, he's not contagious though... I should be reading my anthropology and history books since the finals are tomorrow...but I don't feel like it. Seriously, why does it have to be all gross and icky outside?

Yesterday...I heard one of the saddest Christmas songs on the radio. It's Bring Him Home Santa by The Song Trust...seriously, little kids shouldn't be allowed to sing. At least not about saddening things. The site doesn't play the whole song, but the lyrics are on there.

Sarah in Providence, Rhode Island: Anything on Notes from the Underbelly? That show's getting funnier and funnier.

According to Peter Cambor (Andrew), the gender of the baby remains a secret. But he says, "It's definitely not twins. I can tell you that much." Look for 15 episodes total of Underbelly; as they had 5 in the can from last season, and they were able to finish 10 episodes before the strike rolled into town.

storybook endings, fairy tales coming true deep down inside we want to believe they still do

Yays for me!! I almost have all of my holiday shopping done...okay, so in reality it's nowhere close to being done...but I have a plan, a budget and a deadline...and for me that is a hundred times closes to being almost all done than actually having almost all of the gifts bought. Currently, the only holiday gifts that are in my bedroom (for safe-keeping, duh) are the ones for my youngest brother and the younger of the two girls I watch every week. But...I have the Toys R Us website open in another tab to get a couple of things...and just as soon as the stupid internet connection is re-established, I will look for and order the stuff. The only thing that bugs me about ordering it online, is that due to the cost of S&H and the sales tax it's about $5.00 more than it would've been had I bought it in the store...oh, well. And...I still don't have a clue what to do for any of my parents, though.

Saturday...the boy and I saw Enchanted...and it was adorably cute and funny. I liked it...I'm still not sure if he actually liked it or if he was being sarcastic. I can never tell with him. So...hooray for a lifetime of confusion!! Seriously though, just as long as people don't get the impression that I am a gigantic ditz...I don't really mind that I totally don't get him.

And...here's something to make you giggle...

Although You Do Get Pretty Excited When I Just Lie There
Girlfriend: I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I just keep falling asleep at the oddest times. I think I may be suffering from necrophilia.
Boyfriend: I sure hope you mean narcolepsy.
Girlfriend: Oh, yeah. I always get those confused.
Boyfriend: Well, as long as it's only the definitions that you confuse and not the symptoms...

nobody likes you... everyone left you... they're all out without you... having fun...

So...I was all done with my Downtown Royal Oak adventures this morning by 9:30a... And considering I went to court to pay my fiancé's parking ticket after my (three hour) class that starts at 9:00a...yeah, I wasn't in class very long. My teacher had a personal emergency to attend to...she was worried that the woman who called her this morning was going to harm herself. So my teacher left it up to us and the honor system to take our final this morning...we just had to go to the faculty secretaries' office to turn our exam in when finished.

And this morning, I learned that if you want to get something into the courthouse that would set off the metal detector alarm thingy...just have a relatively attractive girl wear a belt that would set it off and have her carry it in for ya... I set off the thingy when I first went through it, but after I lifted up my shirt enough to display my belt, the (extremely bored looking) court officer just ignored that I'd set it off and waved me on through. But...hooray for me, the boy's ticket is paid.

But...now I'm bored and not sure of what to do since I wasn't expecting to even be home until about 12:30p...

And...totally unrelated to the boringness above... ::sigh:: I'm sick of putting up with the things that bother me. I am well aware of the fact that I already complain enough about some things...but there are plenty of things that I don't complain about. Like, not even when I should...meaning when the things are occurring. I just don't like causing problems...and that seems to be what happens when I complain about those things. ::sigh:: Anyway...I'm done with that randomness and on to...

Which female singer does he crave? And you'd think that I would know the answer for the boy...but, nope, I don't know which of those categories he fits into. Also...which musician does she crave? I suggest combining the last three categories...'cause...yeah...

Okay...so...I'm all done rambling now...¡tenga un gran dĂ­a!

deck the halls with boughs of holly fa la la la la la la la la 'tis the season to be jolly fa la la la la la la la la

I'm bored... But the following two articles amused me...at least for about five minutes total...Wii shortages...and...screwed up PS3s. And...totally not related, but...I have cherry pie now. I made it and can't wait the 1-2 hours for it to cool down...but the pie filling is still bubbling...and since I don't want to go to the hospital with second or third degree burn to the inside of my mouth...I'll wait. Currently my house looks like a Christmas decoration tornado went through it...my mom is busy decorating the house. It's just that there are decorations all over the place because she's pulling them out to put them up. Oh, and it's like a quarter after 3:00p and I'm still in my pajamas...yeah, it's a lazy day.

Monday, December 3, 2007

maybe we'll turn it all around 'cause it's not too late it's never too late

I need to get my Spanish composition written...and soon!! But...as usual I'm in no mood to write a paper for school. Seriously, I have some major aversions to getting my homework done in a timely manner. I should probably work on that...by that I mean my procrastination, but I doubt that I'll ever do anything about it. Anyway...all I have to do is write a one page, double spaced paper about this semester and my plans for afterwards. So...in reality it's just a half page...two measly paragraphs. Why do I have such an aversion to it? Probably because I never seem to get my papers written until about 40 minutes before I have to turn them in...and I don't have to turn this one in until tomorrow at 8:00p. But the printer is special and isn't working...so I need to get it done today so that I can print it out at the boy's house. Yay for him!!

I'll just work on it while watching the girls...they go to their dad's house this afternoon, so it's not like the younger one is going to want to monopolize my time reading books. But, like usual, I will probably need to cook them something to eat. Hopefully, their dad will come home early...and then I won't have to cook. Cuz that would be awesome...I'm not doing so well on the cooking thing today. I wanted mac&cheese...so I made that. Except that I forgot about it and the water completely boiled away...yeah, it tasted weird...so I just put it in a container and put it in the fridge. Maybe one of my unsuspecting family members will eat it. Most likely, it'll be the human garbage disposal (read: my stepfather)...not like he needs any more food.

Okay...well...I'm going to go try and work on my paper some more... I'm just going to write it in English...then translate it later... Ciao!!

Saturday, December 1, 2007

but nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe it hurts but it may be the only way

I need to go to the bank and make a deposit...but as usual, I'm feeling lazy and don't feel like going anywhere... I really don't feel well...my nose is stuffy and my throat is sore. And I'm quite bored...I have nothing to do today. I might be going shopping with my friend...but I haven't heard from her yet, so I have no idea about when that might happen. But...I might also be dyeing my hair this afternoon...hopefully, this will finally get the red out of my hair. ::shrugs:: I don't know though... Anyway...I should probably write my Spanish composition sometime soon since it's due on Tuesday. Hooray only two weeks left of school!!!

And oh my god!!! I seriously hate AT&T!!! There's obviously something wrong with the DSL modem thingy because our internet connection is always dying. But today is worse than normal...it's like every 15-20 minutes the connection is dying!! It's making it really hard to use the internet!! Okay, my little rant is over.

Customer: And the woman I love is in another state pregnant with her ex-boyfriend's baby, and I wish the baby was mine. And I'm sleeping with a dominatrix. And it's all true.

and with a broken wing she still sings she keeps an eye on the sky with a broken wing she carries her dreams man you oughta see her fly

::sigh:: I really wish that I knew what was so bad about me that causes me to be hated so much... I mean, obviously my (former) stepmother despised my very existence because she tried everything that she could to get rid of my brother and me. It took her a little over 14 years, but she succeeded in that goal. Of course, less than two years after her success...the divorce between her and my dad was final. And...the relationship between father and children seems to be doing just fine. No irreparable damage.

And then there is my stepfather... As far as I can tell, he has the same objectives now. He's already succeeded in getting my brother out of the house...and it feels like he's trying to get me out of the house now. I seriously get the feeling that one day, I'm going to come home from school or running an errand or something and there will be an eviction notice for me. So...to legally kick me out an eviction notice is necessary, seeing how I'm over 18. ::sigh:: I wish that was just an irrational fear or paranoia...but I really don't think it is. I really think that the only reason that he was speaking in my general direction today was that my mom was home since she has Thursdays off. Otherwise, I think he would have continued on his merry way of ignoring my very existence. And I like how he cancelled my credit card without any warning or reason as to why. Yeah...that was cool...he made it kinda impossible for me to pay for my classes next semester in doing that. But I guess he figures that everything is fine since he gave me $2000 in cash to cover anything for school. Whatever. ::sigh::

I really do not understand why both of my parents remarried people who seem to resent the very existence of their children from a previous marriage... I just don't get it. What I understand even less is what did I do to deserve this? I mean, honestly...where did I screw up so badly that I can't even be liked? I know that I shouldn't think that this is all my fault...but the only common factor between the two stepparents is my brother and me... So...that makes it our fault...

I really don't know what to do anymore... I want to be able to move out...but I don't know where I'd go if I did. I mean...I'm sure that my grandma would let me live with her...at least for the time being while I got things figured out. She's an awesome person...even though I know that she doesn't agree with everything that I do or don't do, she doesn't try to make me feel bad about it. She just does what she can to support me and my dreams. So I try to be as respectful and whatnot to her...y'know visiting, calling her every once in a while, etc.

Umm...well...this is excessively long now...so I'm going to go finish getting ready for class...

Tuesday, November 27, 2007

every time they turn the lights down just want to go that extra mile for you your public display of affection feels like no one else in the room

I need to finish writing my Spanish paper...but I'm lazy. It's seriously, like, the easiest topic to write about, too. All I have to do is write about this semester and my plans for after the semester. How simple is that? ::sigh:: It's too simple because I can't figure out what to write. Oh, my god...and I need to watch The Motorcycle Diaries and do my movie quiz before Thursday. Ugh...I despise school. Tomorrow, I have a MI history test...I still need to read the book for that one. Oh, jesus...and I need to figure out something to do for psych presentation... Seriously, where did the semester go? How did I run out of time? ::sigh::

Well...I'm going to go get some stuff done before I need to go pick up the girls... Ciao!! But...before I go, here's some fun tv stuff:

***Spoiler Alert!!!***

Melissa in Hammond, Indiana: I was just wondering if and/or when there are going to be new episodes of The Girls Next Door?
Season four premieres Sun., Dec. 9 at 10 p.m. Look for 12 eps total this season. Jen is already parked in front of the TV with her popcorn and a bottle of gin. (Take a shot every time Kendra is tardy, Bridget talks to Winnie like she's a person and/or Holly mentions her stint at Hooters!)

Kathie in West Haven, Connecticut: I love Gossip Girl, and I need a gossip fix! Can you tell me if Serena's mom and Chuck's dad are still together? They never made it clear whether she forgave him or not.
She did. Lily van der Woodsen and Bart Bass (or should I say L&B) are sooo on, and word is Serena is quite surprised when she finds out. XOXO, TV Gossip Girl.

when darkness turns to light it ends tonight it ends tonight

::sigh:: Once again...the stepfather is being a jerk. Instead of ever giving anyone a chance to explain something...because y'know, there's never a logical, rational explanation...he decided to yell at one person and ignore the other one. Seriously...that man is getting more and more like the stepmother all the time. Thank god the stepmother is no longer technically part of the family. Nobody needs her negativity...or blame. Okay...well...all done with that rant.

On to happier...okay, well, it's really another rant... Anyway...the printer is now special and pulls the paper through sideways. Did you know that when one side of the printer is pulling faster than the other side that it doesn't print very well? More like doesn't print at all...I don't know how that happened. It was fine one day...and then the next it was all plzzt. Y'know...the raspberry sound?

Okay...now I really am all done ranting. Enjoy some amusing things

I'm Leaving Las Vegas lights so bright palm sweat blackjack on a Saturday night

I slept so terribly last night...hopefully, I'm not going to have to stay with my sister any more this weekend since my dad is in Las Vegas. I've pretty much been awake since about 3:20a...and I only fell asleep around 12:30-1:00a...so a little bit of broken sleep was so not enough for me. And I'm having serious trouble typing/spelling today... ::sigh:: But on the bright side...I got home today just after the city finished cleaning my street...no more 2' deep piles of leaves at the curb!!

Oh jesus...thank god for auto-save...because my computer just had some blue screen and then I had to turn it off and turn it back on... Honestly, I didn't break it...I don't know why it did that...

I can't wait for all new Gossip Girl tonight!! I heart that show!! Ooooh, and America's Next Top Model is on tonight, too!! I heart that show, too!! Hopefully, we get out of class by 8:45p today...then I can watch Gossip Girl without having to wait until tomorrow to see it...

Seriously...something is bugging me...I just don't know how to talk about it... Because it doesn't matter how I word things...it sounds like I'm obsessing over it...which I am not.

::sigh:: Why doesn't anyone love me today? Nobody is sending me email ... Also...yeah...totally lost my train of thought there...lol...

Oh, and on Thanksgiving...which, yes, is next Thursday...I am pretty sure that I am expected to go to: my mommy's house, my grandma's house, my fiancé's house, my employer's house...yep, I think that about does it. ::sigh:: How am I supposed to accomplish all of that?

it must be the season, no rhyme or no reason just takin' it easy, it's my lazy day

Blah-di-blah-di-blah-blah...I'm bored...and feeling quite lazy today... I need to take a shower, but I so don't feel like it. Plus...I can't take a shower the way that I want to...although, that way doesn't really involve cleaning...oh, well... But on a more productive note, I got my anthropology paper turned in...and a bunch of the laundry is clean and folded, just not put away cuz I'm lazy. ::sigh:: I should use this time to work on my reading response assignment...but...I think that I'm going to go watch tv... And guess what. Samantha Who? is on tonight!! I heart that show...it's highly amusing. Oh, and Dancing with the Stars is on, too!! Yay for television!! But sadly, Dr. 90210 isn't on tonight...some dumb Soup special is on. The Soup can be funny, but mostly it just annoys me.

I just want you close where you can stay forever you can be sure that it will only get better

Okay...so I dropped the gen. zoology class...cuz honestly I don't feel like taking the class and I really don't feel like driving to Farmington Hills for a 9:00a class. So...now I have the following schedule:
...and Mondays are going to be my long days now. Of course the computer class is a suggestion from the boy. He's excited...like a whole lot more than me. Which is why this amuses me highly (it's from tiny little division). And this also reminds me of him...

I know that "Cow plunges off cliff onto moving minivan" isn't supposed to be funny...but it is.

And...I made yummy muffins!! They're supposed to be apple cinnamon muffins, but I added raisins to them just because I could. So now they're apple cinnamon raisin muffins. Besides, there are raisins in apple pie...I can put raisins in the muffins, right?

I've been awake for a while now you've got me feelin like a child now cause everytime I see your bubbly face I get the tinglies in a silly place

Registered for classes today...and that went wonderfully. Heavy on the sarcasm there. This morning when I tried to register...it was near impossible for me to register. So I gave up after nearly an hour...called the boy to complain, but mostly to wish him a good day. And...of course, for the second day in a row, I woke him up. ::sigh:: Anyway...so I attempted to go back to sleep...that wasn't all that easy to do. And then I got up again around 11:00a and again, attempted to register. Of course, that didn't work...I mean, why would anything work for me? I was told that I didn't have the prerequisites fulfilled for the class that I wanted to take...can't quite figure that one out...so I took this other class that I need to take at some point, but don't really want to. Not quite sure how with 16 credits in biology, I don't fulfill the one year of biology requirement (one year is 8 credits). But anyway...this is my schedule for next semester:
::sigh:: Tuesdays and Thursdays are going to be looooong days. Tuesdays probably more than Thursdays because of watching the girls on Tuesdays. But...now I think that I'm going to go to the Wayne State site and figure out what I need to do in order to transfer there...

Oh, yeah...there were a few things from Overheard in New York that amused me...

I had something to write...but it totally left my brain...huh... I got the majority of my homework done yesterday. Well...I got the two-page paper written anyway...just not the four chapters and the handout read for the test. Minor details. I'm still pretty confident that I got at least 45/50 on the test...so reading wasn't too necessary. I should probably go fold the laundry...wash my face...straighten my hair...call someone back...do the laundry...etc., etc.... Anyway...now that I've sufficiently bored you...things to amuse:

Guy #2, looking very uncomfortable: Uh, dude...

What an adorable, and amusing, little girl!! Again...one of those amusing things from Overheard in New York. Oh, yeah...there are four more one-liners, too.

Ugh...it's so dark and dreary...it's a depressing day! Today, I have to go pay for my ticket...cuz I don't really think that I'll have time to do it tomorrow. ::sigh:: I really don't want to go pay that. It's not fair that I even got it. Oh, well...

Oh! I think that my baby brother is feeling a little better because he went to school this morning. Plus, by the time that I'd finished typing the post from early this morning and posted it, he was asleep. Poor kid.

I may have made it rain please forgive me my weakness caused you pain and this song's my sorry

Aww...my poor baby brother... I came on here to check my email, but decided to do this as well after hearing the pathetic sounding kid. His throat hurts...really badly. He's still awake (bedtime is 10:30p) and whimpering. He said something about "the pain won't go away." Poor kid. I'm pretty sure that he just has a bug of some sort, because I know he hasn't done anything to hurt himself. Plus, I think it's not as bad as he feels right now since I'm pretty sure that he's overtired and that always makes matters worse.

And...right now...I'm really confused as to whether or not I'm still getting married. I gave him the rings (engagement and promise) back...and he did put them back onto my fingers...but... I don't know, I just worry that my impulsive nature when we fight has made him less wanting to marry me. Yes, he told me not to worry...but I still am... Especially since this time I actually told someone very soon after giving back the rings that I wasn't getting married anymore. The other two (maybe three) times that I gave back the rings I didn't tell anyone that I'd done that. But the thing is...it was an impulsive decision (that I regretted immediately) to do that...and I want us to be able to work things out and eventually get married. I realize that we're pretty young to be making such a huge decision...but there are so many things that we both have similar views on and we're aware of the fact that marriage isn't some fairy tale ending where the bride and groom live happily ever after. Plus...we love each other and we want to make our marriage work... So...in order for us to do that...we have to fix what's wrong in our relationship... ::sigh:: We just aren't sure of how to go about that... We're pretty sure that our problems are a result of an underlying problem (communication)...we just aren't 100% sure of how to go about resolving that dilemma...

Wednesday, October 17, 2007

well I'm waiting here to take a fall and everything, everything's my fault

Grr...I'm grouchy and frustrated...mostly frustrated though... ::sigh:: Seriously, I think I was thinking about something all day long...and then when it came time for it to happen...nothing. It was like there was an on/off switch and suddenly the switch was flipped to 'off.' Yeah...it wasn't cool... And another thing frustrating me is that this certain someone always gets this whiny sounding voice when he believes the thing bothering me is his fault. Cuz y'know everything is his fault. Puh-leze. It just annoys me to no end when he gets like that. ::sigh:: Don't get me wrong, on occasion it is his fault...but the majority of the time it's not his fault and no matter what I say to him, he doesn't believe me. Of course, spilling my guts (in a slightly censored way) to the anonymity and vastness that is the internet isn't exactly the greatest response to the stressor. ::sigh::

Oh! and since the boy is always too tired for my liking...I've decided that we can't see one another after 11:00p anymore. Even on Saturdays because he has a morning class, so he's still tired on Saturday evenings. I'm sick of always feeling frustrated with him because I feel like I can't hold his attention for more than a few minutes. So...that could mean no seeing him on Tuesdays, Thursdays and possibly Wednesdays due to our respective school schedules. And just what I want...avoidance of him for nearly half the week... That's just going to result in a guy with one thing on his mind when he does finally see me. Not a good situation for either one of us...because eventually one is (or both are) going to feel lousy in the relationship... ::sigh::


**disclaimer: I am well aware of the fact that there are times that he doesn't get a whiny sounding tone...I was just frustrated and in need of some venting**

and with a broken wing she still sings she keeps an eye on the sky

I don't wanna do my homework...who wants to do it for me?

Meh...on a brighter note...I'm totally getting these cute boots!! Well...I will be after I order them anyway. I don't know for sure, but I may be watching the girls until 7:30p today. Yesterday when watching them I managed to break a storage container. But since I wasn't going to see their mom before I had to leave, I left a note for her. So...I don't know if she wants me to replace it or not yet. It's no big deal if I have to replace it, it's just the Gladware stuff (eh, maybe it's Ziploc...I don't know).

Yesterday...I pretty much spent all day with little children. And with the little boy...he wanted to play sword fight...and he was continuously chopping my legs off at the knees. But y'know...he was invincible cuz he was made of worms and they would regrow his chopped off body parts...so, naturally, he won the sword fight.

Anyway...I'm going to go work on my homework...nobody's offered to do it for me...so I must do it on my own... Oh! the sorrow...

I still don’t have the reason and you don’t have the time and it really makes me wonder if I ever gave a f*** about you

I just want to say this first: I am not picking on anyone. Having said that...I totally agree with what this article says. Some people are just too picky and it completely kills their chances of finding someone to have fun with, let alone fall in love with.

Hooray!!! Now there is a possible reason as to why I heart chocolate...



::sigh:: In a totally unrelated note...I hate sleepiness!!

'cause I'm zero to sixty in three point five baby you got the keys shut up and drive, drive, drive, drive

My head hurts...and it won't go away...it's highly annoying...

But anyway...my mommy and I went to Office Depot and got more printer ink this afternoon...so I was able to get nearly everything printed for my classes that I needed to. The only things not printed are the two assignments that I haven't finished yet...so duh, I print those yet. I just have to color in a few of the images on my ideal self booklet before I put it together and turn it in...I decided to color stuff in because I didn't like the preset colors on some of the clipart so I used the b&w images instead. And I made some crap up for my genogram...because instead of normal things (like deceased, married, single, etc.) my teacher wanted us to put in who is happy, is successful, has financial problems, has trouble with the law...seriously, the woman is a fruit loop!!

::sigh:: Friday was my birthday...and some poopyheaded cop gave me a speeding ticket...in my driveway! I couldn't handle one more stressor that day...so it made me cry a bunch. Even though I wasn't really all that upset at getting a ticket. It was just the fact that I'm already stressed out excessively...and my head hurt so badly that it was a wonder that I wasn't already in tears from that...it was all just too much for me to handle at the time.

Okay...I have a (approximately) 1/4" stack of paper from the printer to sort out and put into the correct folders...so...ciao darling!!

Saturday, October 6, 2007

it's my party and I'll cry if I want to cry if I want to cry if I want to you would cry too if it happened to you

So...hooray for not having the best birthday ever...

I have my least favorite class to go to Friday mornings...I always seem to do a good job of scheduling my least favorite class for the day that my birthday falls on. While I was babysitting two little girls, my head started to hurt...hooray for migraines... Then on my way home from there...I got a speeding ticket...the best part of getting a ticket was that I was already in my driveway when he "pulled" me over. Oh, and the way that the cop parked the car behind me, he pretty much had the only way onto and off of my street blocked off...only motorcycles could squeeze through. Plus...I apparently have an attitude problem...don't know what I did to get yelled at for that.

Seeing how I already had a migraine and I'm already stressed out majorly lately...just adding one more stress to the list caused me to start crying by the time that I got in the house...

the remedy is the experience, this is a dangerous liaison I says the comedy is that it's serious

Yay!! No partial government shutdown for MI...just a 0.45% increase in taxes. Also, this guy should probably think before he opens his mouth to his wife #1 again. Not trying to be mean...but...Adam Sandler's daughter really isn't cute.

Blah-di-blah-di-blah...I'm bored and hungry...but we don't have any milk, so I can't have cereal...so now I don't know what to eat. Grrr... I'm too whiny...and I think that I just like to complain. Eh...I should be showering and reading the two chapters for my anthropology class...seeing how I have a test in there on Wednesday. Which reminds me, there's lecture after the test...so I should probably go to Blackboard and print out the slides. Ciao dahling!!

Suit: You don't have to be stupid.
-- NJ Transit

Overheard in New York amuses me...

Answers to any questions about the impact of government shutdown. Yeah...cuz laying off 35000 helps our economy soo much. ::sigh:: The thing that bugs me the most is the following question/answer:

40a. I have a child in foster care and have visitation scheduled for October 1. Will I be able to see my child?
As long as the visit was not scheduled at DHS office or with a DHS employee, the shutdown should not affect your visit.

::sigh:: If the child is young enough, s/he won't understand why Mommy or Daddy didn't come to visit like always. Most likely, the kid would just think 'Mommy or Daddy doesn't love me anymore.' Just cuz the state is broke doesn't mean that they should screw up the visitation. That's just wrong.

All right, I'm done complaining. Oh, and yesterday when I was looking up "associated press Michigan shutdown" on Google...I found a link to one that's in a UK newspaper. According to my mommy we're the laughing stock of the world. Woohoo!!

Friday, September 28, 2007

what happened to the dream of a girl president, she's dancing in the video next to 50 Cent

Ugh...I still think that my psych teacher is a fruit loop... We had the first test this morning...it was pretty easy...I'm thinking the worst that I possibly did was a 40/50 points...so not too bad. We watched the movie Mean Girls in class this morning...not quite sure what it has to do with the next chapter, but oh, well...the movie is funny. But seriously, every week my teacher starts class with some music that she thinks is soothing and then tells us to go to our happy place...okay, not quite those exact words, but still...

And the following from Overheard in New York amuse me...

The Metaphor Still
Works, A**hole.

If God is a DJ, life is a dance floor, love is the rhythm, you are the music

Blah-di-blah-di-blah...I have a little under three chapters to read of my psych book before the test tomorrow morning...and I really don't want to do it... I hate that class so much!! I have to read a few pages of my Spanish book and do the exercises in the workbook, too. And sometime before Wednesday, I need to read two chapters of my anthropology book...and lots of pages in my two history books. But...yays for me...I got the highest grade in the class on the first history test!!

Blah-di-blah-di-blah...and I need to go to Secretary of State...need to get the registration for my vehicle renewed. Oh joy...lots of time at a slow government agency...

This afternoon, I have to take my 11 y/o brother up to our mom's work and drop him off, so that as soon as my mom gets off of work...they can go to his eye appointment. The kid is seriously blind. Poor boy.

Ugh...I should go shower, get dressed, brush my teeth and get my stuff done that I need to get done...but I so don't feel like it. Hooray for procrastination!

we got the bubbleheaded bleach-blonde comes on at 5 she can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye

These are just a few links to some news stories...
Okay...I'm all done sending you to a bunch of random news articles...

there's not much going on today I'm really bored it's getting late

I watched those two girls on Monday and Tuesday...it was super easy...they're so well-behaved. Plus, the younger is just so cute! I'd be willing to watch those girls again if their parents asked.

Yesterday, was the first test in my MI history class...seriously, I think it took me all of 10 minutes to complete...and that was the only thing that we were doing in class yesterday. I wasn't at school for very long. But...I think that I did pretty well...as in an A on the test. Hopefully, anyway. Tuesday was the first prueba (quiz) in my Spanish class...I think, at most, I got a 95...that's not so great...I wanted a 100. Oh, well... Yesterday afternoon, we had another of those in-class writings in my anthropology class...I despise those...hopefully, I got at least 4/5 on it...I really don't want the same crappy grade I got on the last one. Or worse.

Anyway...I'm watching two little girls today and tomorrow...it's not so bad. They seem like well-behaved kids. So...yeah... I'm really sleepy today for some reason. I'm not sure why. It kinda sucks, actually. And I had a really weird dream about spiders last night...it was super creepy!! I hate spiders so very much!!

I'm in the business of misery let's take it from the top she's got a body like an hourglass that's tickin' like a clock

Well...it's been a week since school started...and I've been to all of my classes now... I already had my Spanish teacher before, so I knew what to expect and I like him. He's a pretty good teacher. Not so sure about my psych teacher yet...she's really kinda out there. I mean, c'mon, the first thing she had us do in class was make masks...it's a psychology class, not an art class. But...I'll give her a few more weeks before I decide if I like her or not. My anthropology teacher seems pretty cool...so far I like her. My history teacher seems pretty cool so far, too.

I figured it was time to update my "About me" section...but the old one is still pretty true and I didn't know if I should get rid of it or not...so I just copied it here:

Hmmm...what to say...I am me. Whether that's unique or not...I really don't know. I am definitely much too narcissistic for my own good, but...oh, well. Deal with it. I'm really friendly, but I tend to come across as stuck-up. It's just that I can be shy around people until I am comfortable with them. After I become comfortable around a person, I don't shut up.

My goal in life is to become an ER physician...I decided that at age nine. I'm determined to achieve my goals, sometimes that gets misconstrued as stubborn. I'm that also, and independent and intelligent. I'm also naive and jaded, cynical and optimistic...just a walking contradiction. I am a science nerd...I'm comfortable being that.

And I have one of the shortest attention spans...ADD much?

Boyfriend: Yeah, but I can do things to this pillow that I can't do to you!

Yeah...I'm busy procrastinating...I really don't feel like doing my homework...it's so much reading!! I'll probably get it done later...like after I finish eating and folding that laundry over there in the corner... I don't know...I know that I have to get it done soon. Grr... I need to come up with a personal growth project for my psych class...but I have no clue what I want to work on. I don't like my teacher too much...she's quite weird...too soft-spoken and flighty. Whatever...I'm done eating now...it's time to leave the computer... Arrivederci!

I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top

Grr...I had maybe five hours of sleep last night...possibly four... Do you know what time I went to bed? 1:00a...do you know how long it takes me to fall asleep on average? Approximately an hour...do you know what time I was startled awake? About 4:30a...do you know what time I fell back to sleep? Around 7:00-ish...only to be woken up again by the sounds of my mom and youngest brother getting ready for work and school, respectively, around 8:00a. I finally went back to sleep around 9:00a only to be woken up by my internal alarm clock (read: I couldn't breathe anymore cuz my allergy medicine had worn off) around a quarter to 11:00a. I'm too tired to do the math on the amount sleep I got...all I know is that it was very broken and I'm still tired.

::sigh:: I wanted to shoot my stepfather this morning. It was his stupid alarm going off that startled me awake. I woke up to my room filled with music...it was so loud that I thought it was my mom's alarm, that's why it startled me. I was worried that they (meaning my mom and my younger brother in his room) were sleeping through it and my 11 y/o brother was going to miss his bus. Yeah...it was just the alarm clock in the basement...and it was 4:29a... What pissed me off the most was that my stepdad didn't even bother to go back downstairs and turn it off before he left the house for work...I was trying to ignore the damn music filling up my room and go back to sleep, and then I heard him start up his car and leave! So I turned on my bedroom light before his car was gone...it was with the hopes that he saw my bedroom light on and thought, 'did my loud alarm wake her up?'...and then went downstairs to shut off the stupid, noisy thing. I couldn't figure out how to reset the alarm for the next day...so I just turned off his alarm completely. Ha...hopefully, I don't forget to tell him about that...otherwise he'll be late for work tomorrow. Big, fat poopyhead.

Ugh...and I have a bunch of homework to get done today, too... I still don't know what I want to present on in my psych class...I hate having to do a presentation in front of the class. Grr... I'm excessively crabby today... Oh, man...and I have a PTK meeting this evening... ::sigh:: I just want to go back to bed until Saturday...oh, wait...I have something Saturday morning at 10:30a...

who knows what could happen do what you do just keep on laughing

Grr...so...Sprint sent new phones, and so far we've had the new phones since Thursday and they're as of yet unusable... Makes a lot of sense doesn't it...??? I called the 800 number yesterday...that was a waste of time...and as far as I can tell, the call today from my mother was just as wasteful... I don't understand why they would send new phones, but make it so very hard to make them usable. It's quite frustrating. Especially since I didn't even get to pick out my new phone. I hate the color red and now I have a red phone. Oh well...it's a pretty small phone...and it does all the things a phone is required to do, such as send/receive phone calls...I shouldn't complain. Right? If only the phone was usable!! Plus...I'm not understanding how my phone line was in the process of being activated yesterday...my phone line is already activated, my number just needs to be transferred from the old phone to the new phone. The customer service guy I talked to didn't answer that for me...he avoided answering by saying, "if you have any more problems, call again tomorrow." Umm...okay...thanks for being so very helpful... ::sigh:: I'm just frustrated. Nothing feels like it's been going my way lately and I've just been highly stressed out. It's a great feeling. It really is. Try it out sometime...I'm sure the resulting myocardial infarction is worth it. Really...it is... All right...well...I have a headache...so I'm going to go lie down for a while...ciao!!

I've been to the year 3000 not much has changed but they lived underwater and your great-great-great grandaughter is doing fine (doing fine)

I don't wanna go back to school...it's boring!! I'd rather do something fun...like what, I don't know. I just know that I'd rather be doing something fun than be going to school. Sometime before 5:00p...I should probably go to Blockbuster and get Call of Duty for the Wii for the boy since I told him that I would do that for him. He wants to play that instead of doing some other productive thing while I'm in class. Oh well...can't say that I blame him... I'd rather play than be in class, too. Well...not that game, not even really video games, but still...just play in the broader sense of the word. Okay...I'm done rambling. I'm gonna go be a little bit more productive...like, get dressed and all that fun stuff. Because, y'know...getting ready for the day before 2:30 in the afternoon is soo overrated...and then I'm off to get the video game for my fiancé!! Au revoir, le chéri!!

it's time to be a big girl now and big girls don't cry

::sigh:: I stress way too easily anymore... But on the bright side...I should be getting my history textbook for 99¢ plus $4.80 S&H...that's better than the $29.95 plus tax I had to pay through the school bookstore... And I'm getting my psych book for a savings of $23.21 off the bookstore price...hoorays... Now...I'll just have to make a trip back to the stupid bookstore to return my books...can't wait for that... ::sigh:: I seriously hate our DSL thingy...the internet connection is continuously lost at inconsistent time intervals...it's the most annoying thing ever!! It makes doing things on the internet frustrating. Stress and frustration are a terrible combination. ::sigh:: I hate uncertainty. I hate it more than anything. Now...if only my job search was going a little better...as in a whole lot better!! ::sigh:: Oh well... My psych book should be here within 2-3 days...at least that's according to the USPS website...and my history book could be here in a week. Hopefully I don't need to do anything with the book that I don't have yet because I won't be able to return the history book if I remove the plastic wrap.

My younger brothers are both playing video games...they're so freakin' annoying when they play video games! The 11 y/o hops around like he's on speed and the 10 y/o rants like some crazy hobo... I hate listening to them. You'd think after years of being around them I'd be better at tuning them out...but it's hard to do when the 11 y/o causes the floor to shake with his spastic bouncing.

oh, I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do and I've hurt myself by hurting you

::sigh:: I made a huge mistake today... Instead of thinking it through, I just hastily blurted out thoughts...in the process effectively issuing a big 'f*** you' to the person the thoughts were directed at. I really didn't mean to be so hurtful...I just wanted to be heard for once. I was heard all right...but at what expense? ::sigh:: I pretty much spent the entire day in bed, crying. I did a wonderful job of hurting myself today. Plus, I stressed myself out to the point that I can't really eat. The only reason that I ate dinner is because if I hadn't eaten, it would've caused my mom to ask me questions and then she might have forced me to eat. So I had to eat...but I gave most of the fries to my 11 y/o brother. I figure, I ate one meal today, that's good enough. Right?

I’m not fine I’m in pain it’s harder everyday maybe we’re better off this way? it’s better that we break...

Hooray for giving up!!! Yep yep yep...even though you told me that I should quit pretending and stop living my life for other people...I'm going to continue to do what's worked oh-so-well in the past for me. Trying to do the right thing isn't going to work out. It really isn't...I just don't care enough for it to. So...sorry...except that I'm not really. I mean, I am because I know you'll be upset, but I'm not sorry because it's so much easier. Giving up is the easier thing to do. Trying to control it isn't working for me anymore, I can't do it. It's too hard and too much work. It's causing me too much stress. Pretending is easier and it always will be...happier isn't necessary. Sorry, it just isn't.

P.S. sorry to anyone that wasted time trying understand this...

I still don’t have the reason and you don’t have the time and it really makes me wonder if I ever gave a f*** about you

today is a bored day...
1.


You Would Pick Your Boyfriend Again!



While the initial new couple spark has faded for you two, you've built upon your attraction - and formed a deep love. And although things are never perfect, they're usually pretty great. So don't let your eye wander. You've got the best catch for you, at home.


2.


Both of You Wear the Pants



You and your guy seem to have stuck the perfect power balance. It's not that you don't disagree - it's just that you've learned how to compromise well. You're both mature enough to know that you can't always get your way... And usually, you're both adult enough to reach an agreement - even if that sometimes means giving in a little.


3.


Break Up? Are You Kidding?



You're relationship is top notch, period! Why are you even taking this quiz? :-) Maybe you know you've got a good thing going. Or maybe you're a little shaky from a fight. Either way, stick with this guy!


4.


Your Relationship Will Last...A Long Time!



Your guy is ideal, as close to Mr. Perfect as he could be. If you took this quiz, you may be doubting that...don't! No guy is perfect but yours comes really close. You guys will last for many years, as long as you appreciate him!


5.


Your Relationship is Strong



You've built the foundation of a great relationship, and it would take a lot to shake it. Through good communication and respect, you have a true love that can last a lifetime.


6.

Your Love Song Is



Your Body Is a Wonderland by John Mayer

"One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue"

Why go out... when so much fun can be had indoors?


7.

You Are 87% Ready for Marriage



This doesn't mean you should rush out and get married... But if you did tie the knot, it would probably work out great!


8.

Your Celebrity Boob Twin:



Scharlett Johansson


9.

You Are a Sleek Black Bra!



Subtle, sophisticated, and classy. You're not the first woman a man notices in the room... But you're the one he remembers a week later. You need a guy who will make a lasting impression on you too!


Hooray for boredom!!

when you're gone the pieces of my heart are missing you when you're gone the face I came to know is missing too

::sigh:: I have no idea what to do right now...I know what I want to do...but I don't know what to do... ::sigh:: I'm seriously considering making some drastic changes...just because I'm sick of trying anymore... Nothing works...but to be perfectly honest, I don't think that I've really been trying all that well to fix things anyway... I wish that I still cared...but I just don't anymore... I'm sorry...I really am.

in a car underwater with time to kill, thinking back I forgot to tell you this

Yesterday, I registered for my fall classes...yays... I'm taking:
Nothing too exciting, just a bunch of filler classes basically... Since all I really need now is to take electives to fill up the requirements to get my associates degree. Which seems to be taking forever. I feel as though I am never going to get where I want to be in my life. I know that isn't true, but it just feels like that. Grrr... Okay...I'm done ranting on about school. I don't have to go back until 8:00p on Thursday, August 30. Oh, joy...

Thursday, July 12, 2007

you knew exactly what you would do and don't say you simply lost your way she may believe you but I never will never again

Blah...blah...blah...it's only 1:00p...but I feel like it's 10:00p... I went with my mom to pick up my brother from Gladwin this morning. I have no idea why I needed to be woken up at 3:30 in the effen morning...it's not like I needed to impress anyone in Hicksville...seriously, I could have been woken up about 10 minutes before we had to leave. That would have given me enough time to get dressed and put my hair in a ponytail. My only two requirements before leaving. Instead I was up for the whole freakin' 40-45 minutes it took my mom to get ready to go get him. For some reason, she believes that she needs to look alive when driving at that asinine hour. Me? I'm perfectly fine with looking like a zombie who just rolled out of bed. So...yeah...I haven't really been able to take a nap either. I tried...it didn't work out so well... All right...I guess I'm done rambling...
