head thoughts

Being at school from 9 to 6 is way too draining. It is the three hour wait and then the hour and a half wait between classes that is the worst. By the third class I was falling asleep. Some how I gotta figure out how to stay alert for the third. Maybe I should take a nap in between? Like I mentioned before, going to the gym seems like a sure way for me to crash afterwards. I had a mocha at about 3pm because I had a free card from last semester to use for any drink I want, otherwise I drink regular coffee. Mocha isn't my favorite, but the chocolate can somewhat mask bad espresso. Maybe it was the mocha that made me crash. When I didn't drink coffee at all I had more energy, but I like it too much. What a rotten crop for the land too. If I could eat better while I was in school that would probably help, but I can't seem to manage to pack anything. I guess I could try working on that. Sorry I'm talking out loud.

So I have not heard anything regarding the letter I left someone yet. It seems I will know on Friday how the person will react. I'm so nervous because the letter was very stern in that I would not tolerate being degraded. If they decide they want to kill/stalk/terrorrize me I decided that the story would be a great lifetime movie. (e:mike) will make sure to get lifetime a script. I wonder who would play me the best? Does Justin Timberlake do any acting? It would be nice if it was someone who got their sexy back to play me. The anticipation of what could happen as the result of the letter is driving me crazy. What I know about this person is that the disrespect they have shown me is a reflection of how they feel about themselves. The situation really is quite sad. Maybe I can have a good influence on this person's life? That would be an ideal situation I suppose.

I also wrote a letter to someone who has continued to disrespect me. They won't be doing that any longer.

I could sleep forever now.

Picture frames and stuff

My last semester is finally here. Five more classes starting tomorrow and after 7 years I will have my Bachelor degree. My schedule sucks and on two nights of the week I'll be in class until 7:15. Long night classes are awful. I'm not sure when is the best time to go to the gym now because it seems like I crash after working out. Some people get tons of energy and I do too, but there is a period where I crash and burn and it isn't good when it happens in class.

I am sending a few of my ice storm pictures to my grandparents to show my appreciation for them. I got a frame at Target for about $20 that fits all three of them. The first one I wanted to get was darker and I'm glad I didn't get it cause it would have looked wierd in their house. Usually I don't give pictures as gifts even though I want to because everyone's taste is different and I don't want them to feel bad if they don't want to hang it. I think my grandparents will like this though. They have always encouraged my photography since I was like 15. I have done quite a bit of frame shopping and they are quite expensive. I did manage to get 5 or 6 4x6 frames at the dollar store and then I realized you can't hang them up so I have to get special hardware to do that. Most of the time I leave all my pics as Digital files, so I'm trying to break that habit and get some printed. I got the photos developed at Delaware Cam for .19 each. If anyone knows a cheaper place but equal quality let me know.

Here is the completed frame. It looks better in person. The lighting made it look yellowish.

I entered Coco into a photo contest for some rabbit magazine but haven't heard back. I'm not sure my pics do so well in contests but I love them all the same. Wab isn't the type that they usually feature in the publication. We didn't even know what his "breed" was. I don't care really. People that care all that much about breeds are sometimes a bit crazy. I used to show dogs so I know. It was so stupid.

Here is Coco. I think I notice him aging. I kind of like it, you don't always get to see rabbits aging. Maybe he is 4 years old?




image

The frame I got for my grandparents is kind of big. Im not even sure what to do to send it. Maybe I'll just go to mailboxes etc. and ask them to pack it and everything. I hope it isn't super expensive because i'm trying not to squander my money.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee, Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.


image

So I guess escallating the war is being called a Hail Maliki pass, as in the Hail Mary pass in football. I have always liked this prayer for some reason.

So here are some quotes from our DEFENSE SECRETARY

"I would confess I am no expert on Iraq."

"I am no expert of military matters."

How sad.

Maybe I just don't know the full context of these quotes, but they are still scary. I feel bad for the troops that have to serve longer than they had signed up for. What a way to get shit on.

Alvin! Simon! Theodore!

I was just chatting with (e:mrmike) and for some reason I remembered one of the toys from my childhood. Now I'm so sad that neither I or my parents still have any of these toys. We moved a lot and it just didn't seem important to keep anything. Really I don't think I have any more toys.

When I loved Christmas, I would play the Alvin and the Chimpmunk's Xmas album on my fisher price record player. It would drive my parents insane to hear their 'chipmunk' voices all high and chipmunk like 24/7. I can't imagine why they wouldn't like it. A couple of years ago I found the album on vinyl in perfect condition.

image

Wascally Wabbit chewed the corners oh so slightly. Now it is in near mint condition...


image

One Xmas me and my brother and sister all got a Chipmunk doll. My older sister got Simon, I got Alvin and my brother got THeodore. When you pull the string it would say things like "Alvin loves you"




image

I also had this. It is so awesome.


image

At a flea market in Florida I found Theodore out of the three in their glassware set. Now I just need to find Alvin and Simon.

More camera phone pics

This is my first picture. It kind of scares me.
image

I finally put the plastic in the windows. Look its crystal clear. Just in time for the nasty weather. It is snowing and windy now.

My mom's husband found this lamp for me at a flea market. The piggy is a lighter that shoots flames out of his nostrils.

My roommate

image

I made this the background on my phone. The plant hangs over into my bed so its sort of like I am one with it.

image

Oops almost forgot this one. Got this calendar for my roommates birthday. Its called Extraordinary Chickens. Yes it would have been a great gift for (e:mike), but he doesn't use calendars. You guys should see these chickens. I had no idea chickens could be so exotic. One of them looks like an Arctic chicken or something because of his downlike plumage.

My new phone

I did it and went to get a new phone today. Screw you CRICKET, I'm free of your crap now.

My new phone is so cool. Best of all when my phone rings the ring doesn't make me want to slit my wrists. $10 after rebate.

Pics I can upload to the computer via text messaging. Here is a tester.


image

This means that all the times of thinking "oh I wish i had a camera so i could post this on estrip", i'll have one.
How fun!

I went with Verizon. The phone is superclear and amazing reception in my apt. What a relief. I went with a 450 min a month plan which i have decided isn't enough, so i'll have to upgrade to 900.

Traveler

Here are a few jumbled photos of my travels on the grey hound and on a Boeing 757. I didn't feel like taking any other pics of my trip. Next time...
