Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Well, I'm finally packed and waiting for my ride to Orlando! I can't wait to be there and I'm going to love getting to spend time with Heath, Karen, and the girls on the ride down and tomorrow.

I have a bad habbit of making these conventions "mountian high" experiences and going down hill right afterwards. I truly want to keep that high, that drive to give it all to God no matter what. This trip holds so many memories, as the last time we were in Orlando for a convention Chrissy was still with us. She died soon after we returned from an anurisim. I will never forget our room that year: me, Chrissy, Kara, June, and Kathryn. A hard time for me this semester was when another girl from our youth group had an anurism, and praise God that she has recovered, and I think may be going on the trip.

I am a chaparone this time, which is a lot of responisibility. That along with working at Izone and possibly the SWU table will put me in contact with so many people. I pray that I can be a good leader for the girls in my room and a christian example to the people I come in contact with. I thank God for the way things worked out making it posssible for me to go. I owe it all to Him, something I'm ashamed to say I tend to forget.

As soon as I return from Orlando it's off to Myrtle Beach for Bross family Christmas, so it may be a while before I post again. I am taking my computer and will attempt to post while at the beach, but no promises. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all, and I hope to see some of you in FL!

ice and no power

So we lost power yesterday morning and haven't gotten it back yet. Em and I went to Grandma and Grandpa's to take showers and check email and eat real (ie heated, not chips) food. I'm now at mom's office and Em's out with her boyfriend and his family. I'm thinking there's not going to be heat tonight, either, cause I doubt my neighborhood is of great concern to Duke Power when the majority of Pickens County is out. Oh well. As long and we can still do the star wars marathon I'll be happy!

I'm 83% (Dixie), what are you?
click here to take the quiz - it's funny

quote of the day: "i feel like an illegitamte child of the South" ~David
he only got 45% percent. the higher the percentage, the more southern you are, supposedly

Tuesday, December 13, 2005

yay for today

Quote of the day: "I was my highschool's prom queen." ~Josh

I don't remember when he said that, maybe the night we stayed up all night. I just though about it and it made me laugh really hard. (fyi: he was homeschooled)

Today I went to the mall of Georgia with Stephanie. Fun times.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!!

...that's about it.

life as I currently know it

Tonight I went to Clolumbo's for dinner with two of my friends from highschool. Another guy from highschool works there, and today's quote of the day is from him:
"I hope our gay waiter wasn't hitting on you. My manager told me (he was) when I got back from delivery, so I thought I'd come warn you." ~Lee
"Oh, that's why he was talking to me so much." ~Tobias

I went to lunch with my mom at Western Sizilin', where the entire third grade from Six Mile Elemantary was eating lunch. Out of 90 students, there were two black kids and one hispanic kid. The really sad part? It only takes 15-20 minutes to get from my elementary school, where there is a diverse student population, to Six Mile Elementary. I am so lucky to have grown up in a more diverse school. I can't imagine what I'd be like today if it weren't for Thelandra and others like her in elementary school. Last year for my teacher cadet class I worked with my old 1st grade teacher, and in that class there were 4 hispanic kids, 4 black kids, an Indian kid, a girl adopted from the Ukraine, and 6 or so white kids. Just imagine how different their outlooks are compared to those 3rd graders.

sunday findings...

My surname is surname number 14510 in the USA. <-- weird, but cool. I got it here

I have come to realize how much I have gotten used to almost constant sound and things happening around the clock. Here (at home) it's so quiet and calm, and I'm re-adjusting to it. I'm gonna organize my room tomorrow; I still haven't unpacked from the semester. It will give me something to do, at least.

Jeffrey left SWU for good today. He was my favorite person to fight with, and now he's gone. I wish him the best of luck at IWU, but I know his friends already miss him.

quote of the day: "Grooms are like bathrooms at museams. They're
necessary, but no one comes to see them." ~my pastor in his sermon today

weekend update

I'm home! It's wonderful sleeping in my own bed with my cat, not having to wait on the elevator if I want a drink in the middle of the night, not having to put on shoes to take a shower, etc. However, I miss everyone sooo much already. All of my friends from highschool don't finish up till next week, so there's not anyone to hang out with. BUT! I'll get to see some people from SWU in a little over a week!!!! YAY!!!! haha.

So I went and saw Narnia TWICE yesterday...and it was AMAZING!!! haha. I went Friday afternoon with 5 guys from school. We all piled in Josh's Buick and went to Anderson. I had chills, was tearing up/crying, spazing out, etc. the entire time. Oh man, it was so good. Seeing it again Friday night was wonderful, but my cousin is very inquisitive and asked a lot of questions. Afterwards we (my sister, my two cousins, and myself) got a pizza and hung out at their house till our parents got back from the Allison Krauss concert. That's right, my parents went to see her again and didn't take me...again. grr. She's such an amazing artist.

Today was SWU's winter graduation, which means that the band sat through two practically identical ceremonies and played and killed our chops (basically that means our ability to play). Lunch inbetween was fun. Emily, Tina, Sarah, Tyrome, Brian, Mirenda, and I all went to Zaxby's, and Josh's family showed up. The conversation was fun and it was great to hang out with them before we split up for break.

Tonight my family took my Grandmother, Grandma, Grandpa, and G.G. to the Madrical Feast in Greenville. We went last year with my uncle's family, and it's amazing. It's a 7 course feast with intertainment and wenches and footmen as the servers, their's a lord and lady at a high table, a table of singers, jesters, a beggar, a handbell choir, and a children's choir, all in costume. It's a really fun experience, and I can't wait till next year's feast.

Tomorrow's church, and my body's still on the sleep pattern of "lobby til 1:30, bed at 2, wake up at 7." Oh joy. And as soon as I totally unpack and my sleep stablizes, it'll be time to go back to the dorm...oh well!

Friday, December 09, 2005

Narnia

I just sat in a car for 20 minutes, and I'm still shaking after seeing the new Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe for the first time. That movie was amazing. I laughed, clapped, cried a few times, and had chills running through my body the majority of the movie. I'll go into more detail later, I'm still to much in shock. The best part? I'm going to see it again with my sister and cousins tonight.

I'm leaving the dorm for break...it's so sad!

You are universally sympathetic and a great humanitarian.

Your soul reflects: Compassion, friendship, and secret love

What Does Your Birth Month Mean?

My gemstone is ORANGE/YELLOW TOPAZ!!! grr stupid people...It's very accurate otherwise

Studying for Old Testament...what fun

all-nighters are fun...

So it's currently 6:48 in the morning as I write this post. Josh, Jeffrey, Tyler, Clifton, and myself have stayed up all night in the lobby (since the Christmas party at 8:30, to be exact). I admit, I took a nap during the movie, and Jeffrey slept for a while, too.

We're now in the home stretch, with about 40 minutes till breakfast. Afterwards, we're all hitting the sack, and then sometime in the afternoon Sam, Jeffrey, myself, and possibly some others are heading over to the Anderson Mall to do some Christmas shopping. I'm going to be so mad if breakfast sucks today...

Sunday, December 04, 2005

I love thunderstorms! To bad they don't last long.

Christmas banquet and the lobby - what else do you need?

Last night was so much fun! We had the Christmas banquet, and then I was in the lobby for about 5 hours where my camera got passed around and I now have some of the most random, hysterical pictures.
My hot date Jessica and me. I love that girl

Britt and I dancing in the Lobby. Britt's caption: "I love you, don't you love me?"

Quite possibly one of the coolest pictures I have ever seen. Josh and Catchphrase. Sadly, I can't take credit for this genius.

And, of course, some of the Stu-Be hotties at the Christmas banquet. I'm going to miss these girls so much over break

Yeah, I love school. Exams have started and that's not fun. The semester is almost over, and I have to say goodbye to everyone for a MONTH!! and Nila's not coming back. It's gonna be hard, but I am looking forward to a month of no school!





Thursday, December 01, 2005

Today at lunch Michael took my glasses, and I didn't really think about it much untill I went shopping three hours later. You know what? He still has my glasses.

Wednesday, November 30, 2005

wait, I just looked at the date stamps...deffinatly not the night before. haha

YIPEE!!

I FEEL BETTER!!!! YAY!!! Not 100%, but better. I can breathe out of both sides of my nose, and I made progress last night (I think). Thanks to those who were (are) praying for me!!



yay for pics from Daniel football games. I really missed that this year, even though I did go to 3 or 4 games. Love ya, Becca! I think the first one is the night before she spent the
night...haha...PRETZELS!!!!


Tuesday, November 29, 2005

Four o'clock and all's we-ell!

haha sorry, those blasted bells just went off and it reminded me of Nutsy from Robin Hood.

In other news, I'm still sick, my roomie's sick, Jessie across the hall is sick...you get the picture. Pray for us!

Monday, November 28, 2005

Sunday, November 27, 2005

Awesome song by Superchick:
you hate men is what you say 
and i understand how you feel that way
all girls dream of a fairy tail
but what you got's like a used car sales
man, trying to conceal what's wrong
behind a smile and a song
and i'm not saying that boys are not like that
but i think you should know
that some of us will grow
because...

all princes start as frogs
all gentleman as dogs
just wait till it's plain to see
what we're growing up to be..
coz some frogs will still be frogs
some dogs will still be dogs
but some boys can become men
just don't kiss us till then

yay! haha. So yeah, I'm back at school...two weeks till the semester's over!

Yesterday my family was driving through Six Mile while on our way to Clevland, SC
and we saw 15 or so chickens following a car.

I layed in bed from 10 to 12 and couldn't sleep, so I'm up and royally pissed at the swu email system for going down when all the info I need for the essay I could be working on is in my inbox, yet unattainable.

Once again, I will be curling up with a movie, praying that I can sleep. Tomorrow (today) is not going to be fun Pray for me!!

homecoming

Well, this weekend was awesome! Saturday I saw a ton of family, my old KIP director, went to an awesome soccer game (Mitch scored!!!), sat by Jeffrey as he stuffed an entire thing of cotton candy into his mouth (absolutly hillarious), and watched two movies. The Legend of Zoro is AMAZING!!! I laughed through almost the entire movie, and probably ticked off the majority of the movie theater, cause I don't laugh softly.

Friday, October 28, 2005


Ok, so it's Friday. I have gone to bed around 2 for the past two night in a row...and it was awesome!! haha

Wensday night was...interesting

To make a long story short, I was sitting on the floor because I was laughing to hard to stand. Arienne came out to return my ducktape, and Kim grabbed it and attacked me...yeah...

haha. Last night a group of us were in the lobby till 1 singin praise and worship songs with 4 guitars and a mandelin. It was a lot of fun, and I took a TON of pictures for Tyrome, who said he'd print copies for me! Yes!

The bell is ringing, so I have a half hour till work study...yipee

Hotel Rwanda

I have never been so challenged by a movie. And of all the questions it raised, the main one is:
When will I be ready to go?

Tuesday, October 25, 2005

I'm freezing!!!

Ok, so yesterday the weather decided to FREEZE everyone and today as well. The plus side? It's pajama day and I'm nice and toasty.
Last night was movie on the lawn, and yes, I went. The girls were all huddled together, laughing and talking.

ok, to answer Jamin's question, Dave Barnes is a "nobody" acustic singer. He's Christian but is a secular artist. And that's about all I know about him...


J Z

I love my RA

Ok, so it's 1:15 in the morning and all the sudden I hear:

"OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!!!"

So, naturally, I investigate. Kristie, my lovely RA, was freaking out all over the hall. And when I say freaking out, I mean jumping-everywhere-shoes-flying freaking out. I asked her what happened, and she said "I emailed Dave Barnes, AND HE RESPONDED!!!!" hahaha

now back to my homework...I am such a procrastinator

Sunday, October 23, 2005

Sunday lunch...always an experience

Some family friends, the Thompsons, stayed at my house this weekend. Daphne and Mom used to work together at SWU a long time ago. They were in Charleston and are noe in Rock Hill, so it was awesome to see them today. Adam is my sister's age, and Darby and Jorden are 12 year old twins. Some snippets from our lunch conversation:

"Scurry's dead?" -Adam
"Yeah, she died while you were on that three-week trip." -Jordan
"Oh." -Adam
"When was your trip?" -me
"The middle of the summer." -Adam
"And you've just now figured this out?!?" -Emily

(with a glass to his ear) "Shhh -- I can hear the ocean (Jordan puts a glass to his ear with a confused look) ...now it sounds like someone peeing." -Adam

and the quote of all quotes (from today, at least):
"How do you way ghetto in Spanish? Ge-he-toe?" -Jordan

Supper

Gloria the Hippo: Don't make me come up there, I'll get the whuppin on both o' y'all.

Yay for Kevin, Cameron, Cha, Elise, Em, and Charleton. Supper was sooo much fun. A few quotes for you:

"Now back to what I was saying...I have no idea what I was saying" ~Kevin

"du-du-du-du-du-du, WOOOOOH!" Em and Cha

"You have a hemi?" ~Kevin
"Yeah, it's a V-8 hemi, I got it from an old lady" ~Kehl
(acting out the hemi commercials as an old lady) "You got a hemi? You want one? I think I've got one in my purse somewhere..." ~Cameron

And there was this odd moment where Cha was using a weird, jerky form of sign language when she was laughing so hard she couldn't talk...

I love my friends :o)

class skit


Yay! We actually pulled a skit together for the panel tonight. I'm not so sure that it's all that good, but we can always practice (considering that our first run-though was in front of the panel).

Look! It's my castle!! haha.

I miss being able to say "bibity-bopity-boo" or "RADIOTOWER!!!" and then die laughing with Suzi and Billy... :o(

prayer request

A girl from my church, Anna, had two brain anurims Friday night. Right now she's in the hospital in a drug indused coma. PLEASE pray for her and her family and friends. It's brought back so many memories of Chrissy...

song

Yeah, it's not a band I normally listen to, but I heard this somg on the radio tonight and LOVED it:
Crazy - Simple Plan
Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Young girls dying to be on TV
They won't stop till they've reached their dreams
Diet pills,surgery
Photoshoped pictures in magazines
Telling them how they should be
It doesnt make sense to me

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me whats going on
If you open your eyes,
you'll see that something is wrong

I guess things are not how they used to be
There's no more normal family's
Parents act like enemies
Making kids feel like its world war 3
No one cares,no ones there
I guess we're all just too darn busy
Money's our first priority
It doesnt make sense to me

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something's wrong
Is everybody going crazy?
Is everybody going crazy?

Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Rich guys driving big SUV's
While kids are starving in the streets
No one cares
No one likes to share
I guess lifes unfair

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something
Something is wrong
Is everybody going crazy?
Can any body tell me whats going on?
Tell me what's going on?
If you open your eyes you'll see
that something is wrong


See Nimaj? I'm not gone...just busy.

"Hey Sean, have you ever gone skinny-dipping?" ~Andy
"I'll tell you the same thing I said when I went to Mardi Gras - no one wants to see me naked...ever!" ~Sean
"What are you going to do with your wife? Blindfold her?" ~Andy
"I'll get her a pair of pirate eye patches. Arrgg! Shiver me timbers!" ~Sean

And yet another, also from Sean:
"Did you hear? They're creating The Land Before Time 14: WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE!?!"

Say it with me now...

pro-cras-ti-na-tion

I don't think any Stu-B residents went to bed before midnight, maybe a few before 1. Some stayed up almost or all night. I got some sleep...about 4 1/2. I missed everyone so much. I was sooo excited when I saw Britt, even if she did give my cookies to Mitch ;-) I'll get some eventually...I hope.
"I'm related to Robert E. Lee. I've heard that's cool in the south." ~Michelle
haha-I love her. I was in their room for a long time last night.

Now I have to study for english...blah

But hey! My sister's 16th birthday party is tonight!!! She's getting so old...

I love sleepovers

"It's not even midnight and I'm already on my second bottle." ~Rebecca Street

That's water folks, there's no alchohol needed for us to act crazy.

Saturday nights...oh joy

Lets just say that I remember now why my mother forbid me to ride with Mike Cotten. Oh my word he scares me, and he was sober. I NEVER want to see him drunk.

Otherwise, Daniel didn't do so well at Pendelton, but I love them anyways.

Now I'm chilling in my room with Becca.

Friday

Today is the first day all week that I can actually choose what I want to wear first thing in the morning. Yesterday was the last day of choir tour, and I don't even get to sleep in 'cause I'm going to the chiropractor. YAY!!! It's gonna feel so good.

We did a total of 13 concerts in five days. The first one was at Brevard Wesleyan. I don't remember the man's name, but the speaker that morning was the pastor there in the early 50s. As sad as it is, the only part I remember is the story he told at the end. When he was pastor there he went to the district convention. The other pastors were making fun of him because he had the most children of any of the pastors. He told them that it was their fault because the parsonage was right next to the train tracks, and when the train went by at 4 in the morning it woke them up. Since they couldn't sleep, what else could they do? The choir was sitting behind him and I know that we were all rolling.

Thursday, October 06, 2005

la la la

My band did so well last week! I'm so excited for them. Yesterday (Tuesday) we left Blue Ridge right as school was ending and the pitlings were draging their equipment outside. I was thinking, "I miss marching band, but not that much!" haha.

So Jessica and I were in the bathroom hiding tonight. Jess was freaking out (well, we both were) and I was trying my hardest not to laugh. haha Yay for choir tour stories.

I seriously need sleep...

Friday, September 30, 2005

hum-de-dum

Quote of the day: "You're in college?!?" ~Chris, my lovable-yet-so-incredably-out-of-it cousin...whose brother and I had our graduation party TOGETHER!!

hahaha - I love Chris. He has changed a lot over the years. He used to be such a brat (he kicked me in the shins w/ steel toed boots till I cried when we were little, and I'm 4 years older than him), and he has really matured a lot. Aunt Darlene and gang went to my house for lunch today and I brought Britt and Mitch with me. It was a ton of fun and the food was sooooo good. Mashed potatoes, turkey, gravey, brockli, mixed veggies, breadsticks AND rolls (I was in heaven), and to-die-for chocolate cake. yum!

Last night was another late night in Britt's room reading after going to a movie with my sis (yay!), Marette, and another girl whose name I can't remember (sorry!). Doing anything with Marette is an adventure, and last night was no exception. When I drove up to the theater she was standing on the sidewalk in a renasance dress curtseying to passing cars. AND my armrest in the movie was loose, even more so than the one from last time. I was so tempted...:-D

4 AMish lobby nights

Quote of the night:
The RA: "Are you just friends or SWU friends?"
The girl (not me!): "Define SWU friends."
Poker guy: "Married"

Haha...last night was so much fun. I went out to eat with Kristie, Kim, Sarah, and Britt and then with Sarah to the homecoming football game, which was depressing cause there really wasn't that many people there from last year. I found out that Steven may be coming to SWU!! yay! He cracks me up.

When I got back I found out about the boys soccer initiation. Their hair is all gone!! Britt cried...I don't blame her. They also had to wear boy's tighty whities and mini skirts and run around downtown Clemson yelling about how much they love upperclassmen. hahahaha

At 11 I went to good ole Wal Mart with Britt and Sam cause we were all bored or avoiding people. haha-poor Sam. After we had been there for about thirty minutes he said "I am never going shopping with girls again!" I laughed at him.

Britt bought this hysterical book, He's just not that into you. We read three chapters last night and we're reading more today. It's secular and we kept a "bleeper" (black magic marker) with us while we read, but the majority of the advice is really good. Britt and I both want a guy's perspective on the book, so if you're interested....

I'm really glad I got to hang out with Sarah and Britt last night. It sure was an adventure!! But hey, nothing beats a funny dating book and mac and cheeze at 4:30 am...except sleep.

brownie points

brownie points for who can tell me what movie I adapted a quote from in my last post. Tyler, you don't count cause you've seen it WAY to many times and it was directed at you.

wires

Tyler, I shake my head in your general direction.

Somebody...anybody...help! I'm redoing the wire situation in my room - again. Last time I ruined the milk (sorry Suzanne!), and this time I'm trying to get it so that my computer power cord isn't running across the room. This is going to be challenging... :-\

doink

If my profile has been viewed 44 times, why have I gotten only one comment? hmm...

another point for blogger cause I got an email about the comment on the day it was posted! (unlike xanga, which I don't get till the next day)

Wensday

Quote of the day: "Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is." ~Francis Bacon

That'd be me...haha. I love my sense of humor, even if no one else seems to get it. It's a hereditary thing, and I'm completly serious. You get my dad, my uncles, my cousin Matt, and me in a room and the laughter never ends.

quotes...cause I'm bored

From What A Girl Wants:

Armistead's friend: I'd let her dump tea in my harbor anytime.

Glynnis Payne: Now Daphne, we don't want to make a scene now, do we? Libby Reynolds: Take your hand off my daughter or you won't get a scene, you'll get a Broadway Musical!

From Robin Hood:

Sis: Oh, he's so handsome... just like his reward posters.

Hiss: Sire! Sire! They may be bandits.
Prince John: Oh, poppycock. Female bandits? What next? Rubbish.

Friar Tuck: Oh, for heaven's sake, son. You're no outlaw. Why, someday, you'll be called a great hero.
Robin Hood: A hero? Did you hear that, Johnny? We've just been pardoned! Little John: Oh, that's a gas. We ain't even been arrested yet.

Robin Hood: Rob? Tsk tsk tsk. That's a naughty word. We never rob. We just sort of borrow a bit from those who can afford it.
Little John: Borrow? Boy, are we in debt.

Clucky:Take that, you scurvy knave!
Prince John: Seize the fat one!

Little John: Hey! Who's drivin' this flyin' umbrella?

Skippy: You gotta take the oath.
Toby: The oath?
Tagalong: Put your hand on your heart and cross your eyes.
Skippy: Spider, snakes and a lizard head.
Toby: [repeats] Spider, snakes and a lizard's head.
Skippy: If I tattletale, I'll die till I'm dead.
Toby: [repeats] If I tattletale, I'll die till I'm dead.

Toby: I'm scared of Prince John. He's cranky.

Sheriff of Nottingham: Well, Trigger. Everything's rigged up and all set. Trigger: Yep, it's one of the prettiest scaffolds you ever built, Sheriff.
Nutsy: Sheriff, don't you reckon you should give that trap door a test? [pulls a lever and opens the trap door, allowing the Sheriff to fall in]
Sheriff of Nottingham: Criminently, now I know why your mama called you "Nutsy".

From Grease:

Danny: You can't just walk out of a drive-in!

Frenchy: Doody, how do I look?
Doody: Like a beautiful blonde pineapple!

Sonny: When a guy picks a chick over his buddies, something's gotta be wrong. Come on, guys let's go for some pizza.

Rizzo: I've got so many hickies people will think I'm a leper.
Kenickie: Relax... A hickie from Kenickie is like a Hallmark card, when you only care enough to send the very best!

Doody: The problem's in this rubber band engine.
Kenickie: The problem's in your mouth.
Sonny: Kenickie, got any Scotch tape?

Danny: Uh, I'm not very hungry; just gimme a double Polar Burger wit' everything and a cherry soda wit' chocolate ice cream.

Principal McGee: We have pictures of you so-called mooners. And just because the pictures aren't of your faces doesn't mean we can't identify you. At this very moment those pictures are on their way to Washington where the FBI has experts in this type of identification. If you turn yourselves in now, you may escape a Federal charge.

Frenchy: Men are rats, listen to me, they're fleas on rats, worse than that, they're amoebas on fleas on rats. I mean, they're too low for even the dogs to bite. The only man a girl can depend on is her daddy.

From Say Anything:

Lloyd Dobler: She's gone. She gave me a pen. I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen.

Diane Court: Nobody thinks it will work, do they?
Lloyd Dobler: No. You just described every great success story.

Corey Flood: Diane Court doesn't go out with guys like you. She's a brain.
D.C.: Trapped in the body of a game-show hostess.

Mike Cameron: I don't know you very well, you know, but I wanted to ask you - how'd you get Diane Court to go out with you?
Lloyd Dobler: I called her up.
Mike Cameron: But how come it worked? I mean, like, what are you?
Lloyd Dobler: I'm Lloyd Dobler.
Mike Cameron: This is great. This gives me hope. Thanks.

Diane Court: I just can't have any social life right now.
Lloyd Dobler: Don't worry about it. We're just having coffee. We'll be anti-social.
Diane Court: Be friends?
Lloyd Dobler: Yeah. With potential.

Lloyd Dobler: I got a question. If you guys know so much about women, how come you're here at like the Gas 'n' Sip on a Saturday night completely alone drinking beers with no women anywhere?
Joe: By choice, man.

D.C.: Lloyd, why do you have to be like this?
Lloyd Dobler: 'Cause I'm a guy. I have pride.
Corey Flood: You're not a guy.
Lloyd Dobler: I am.
Corey Flood: No. The world is full of guys. Be a man. Don't be a guy.

D.C.: Why don't you just call her again?
Lloyd Dobler: I draw the line at 7 unreturned phone calls.

Lloyd Dobler: Just knowing that a version like that exists, knowing that just for a minute she felt that and wrote "I can't help loving you". That has to be worth something.

Corey Flood: I'm sorry, it's just that you're a really nice guy and we don't want to see you get hurt.
Lloyd Dobler: I want to get hurt!

I have to go to tri county cause they're dumb and won't accept faxed transcript requests...grrr.


You Are 40% Boyish and 60% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.
Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.
You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.
You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

I love my fairy godmother

Suzi's the greatest.

fuzziebear87: if i was a guy i'd be over there right now

Habitat, babysitting, and ROLL TIDE!!!

So after my late night last night I got up and worked at the Habitat for Humanity for about 4 to 5 hours this morning. I had fun and the lady the house is for, Tracy, is a sweet heart. I am deffinatly going back to help finish up. The move in date is October 8th, so I started a little late, but that's ok.

After that I came back to my room and collapsed for two hours, and now I'm babysitting for my cousins. We went to McDonald's for dinner...oh joy. haha. I love them, but when they're tired and won't admit it and I'm tired it gets frustrating.

BAMA BEAT USC!!! That's right, the Cocks went down! ROLL TIDE!!!

football

Wow, last night was an experience. I had a lot of fun, it was just weird to be surrounded by people I don't know. The car ride was crazy, but I learned a lot :-). Here's a song I heard and absoutely LOVED. It's "Once You've Learned to be Lonely" by Reba McEntire:

You're asking me to open up
I'm tryin' my best to give enough
To keep this love alive
It wouldn't be so hard for me to do
If it hadn't have been for all my heart's been through

But once you've learned to be lonely
And lonely is the only thing you've known
It begins to feel like home
It becomes your comfort zone
Once you've learned to be without someone
And settle for the silence of an empty room
Oh,it changes you
There's a lot you have to undo
Once you've learned to be lonely

It becomes a habit of the heart
To be afraid and even start
To try and love again
I want to give you myself to you
But I've been alone that
I'm scared to move

But once you've learned to be lonely
And lonely is the only thing you've known
It begins to feel like home
It becomes your comfort zone
Once you've learned to be without someone
And settle for the silence of an empty room
Oh,it changes you
There's a lot you have to undo
Once you've learned to be lonely

I've built walls but I feel them falling down
Touch by touch your love is my way out

But once you've learned to be lonely
And lonely is the only thing you've known
It begins to feel like home
It becomes your comfort zone
Once you've learned to be without someone
And settle for the silence of an empty room
Oh,it changes you
There's a lot you have to undo
Once you've learned to be lonely

There's a lot you have to undo
Once you've learned to be lonely

A movie, pillows, and flowers

Quote of the day: Jack Llewelyn Davies: My name be Nibs the Cutthroat, feared by man and greatly desired by the ladies.

Finding Neverland is a WONDERFUL movie. The realness of Barrie's imagination is amazing, and yes, I did cry at the end. It was soooo good. I've got two scratches and a bruise from the pillow fight afterwards, but it was worth it. Then the flower analogies....hahahaha. My stomach still hurts from laughing so hard last night.

I went to the Chiropractor this morning, and now my TMJ isn't bothering me at all, thank goodness. I can open my mouth fully and it doesn't pop my jaw!!

It's almost class time, so I'd better check and make sure there isn't anything due today...

yo amo mi Peru

I'm homesick, and not for home. I want to go back to Peru so bad...

Yay I figured it out!

Quote of the day: USA Today has come out with a new survey: Apparently three out of four people make up 75 percent of the population. - David Letterman

YES! I figured out how to make the titles appear, and I think the list of links as well.
It's 8:30ish, I have a lab at 11 and a test at 12:30. yipee. I should go study...
Quote of the day: Listening to Andy when call after call he got nothing during the phone drive

In honor of tonight:

I got this thing for Nancy Drew
Her hair is blonde her eyes are blue.
Yeah, I think that I'm falling in love.
I wish she'd say she'd marry me,
and why she won't is a mystery.
Yeah, I know its me she thinks of.

Nancy Drew, I love you (Yes I do).

One time these criminals with their guns-
they thought it would be fun to try and kill my Nancy Drew.
I jumped out and saved her life,
then asked her to be my wife.
She said, "No, I'll never marry you!"
It's a really big mystery.
I'll put the Hardy Boys on the case.
Cause no time in history
has someone denied my face.

So I'm bored...


How You Are In Love

You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time.

You give completely and unconditionally in relationships.

You need your space and privacy. You don't like to be smothered.

You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change.

You are fickle and tend to fall out of love easily. You bounce from romance to romance.




Your Inner Child Is Surprised

You see many things through the eyes of a child.
Meaning, you're rarely cynical or jaded.
You cherish all of the details in life.
Easily fascinated, you enjoy experiencing new things.




Your Superhero Profile

Your Superhero Name is The Doctor Hurricane
Your Superpower is Technology
Your Weakness is Balloons
Your Weapon is Your Light Dagger
Your Mode of Transportation is Teleporter




You Are Likely an Only Child

At your darkest moments, you feel frustrated.
At work and school, you do best when you're organizing.
When you love someone, you tend to worry about them.

In friendship, you are emotional and sympathetic.
Your ideal careers are: radio announcer, finance, teaching, ministry, and management.
You will leave your mark on the world with organizational leadership, maybe as the author of self-help books.

hahaha...Only child? Yeah right.

Quote of the day: "If this unfortunate car could talk, it would probably say,'Uh-oh, looks I've got a smidge of skank on my hood.'" ~from a site making fun of celeb's clothing...can you tell I'm bored?

So I'm at home doing homework (yeah right) and my laundry from the last two weeks. What's sad about that is that I still have a ton of clean clothes in my dorm room. My sister is somewhere washing vintage cars, Granmother is around somewhere, and mom and dad escaped for the weekend.

Guess I should start printing out study help for my Psychology test. Not looking forward to that, let me tell ya.
The best away message ever:
"Today we salute you, Mr. Compulsive Away Message Checker. While most people are out actually having a fun life, you are at home reading about it on your computer screen. Right mouse click, Get Buddy Info, or the little Info box at the bottom of the Buddy List. You have people on that list you haven't talked to in years, but you still loyally read their away messages every day to see what they're up to (borderline stalking). So, crack open an ice cold Coca-Cola, Marauder of the Mouse Pad, and don't wander too far from your computer because you never know when someone's away message may change." ~Jeffrey's away message
And yes, I know that this means that I read people's away messages...

It's visitation!! I'm wandering...
Yeah, so I over-slept this morning...till 9:20. My first class is at 9:25. Yay for being 5 minutes late to class, which is impressive since I had to use the stairs cause the elevator's broken and walk to the education building. Now for blah time.
