Yeah! I have experienced a rite of passage this afternoon! After hearing all of my friends stories about being approached by the Mormon evangelists, I have finally been attacked by them myself! I handled it well, if I do say so myself. I even said "have a nice day." I suppose my recruiters were not as aggressive as some of the others out there.

In other news, I am super-slacker girl. My powers have been re-vamped, so not only do I slack, but I never stop slacking. It's a good time, followed by many moments of freaking out.

House church was good. We discussed trusting God and how we have freedom in him. Good fun. Hanging with my Christian homies.

Also, I got another 2 chapters written. I still need to step up the writing. But after a week of stagnation. A little progress feels especially good. I need to find a way to get more work done DURING the week. It could make all the difference.


This is my castle by the way. Hmmm...people can get married there. I'm thinking: Party in the castle.

I should consider studying for the third mini-test of doom. That'd be Tuesday.

Wah! All of my church friends are gradu-a-tating. They have 30 days of classes left. This is the problem with being friends with people older than you. They leave. Who will I chill with once they are gone? Possibly my non-church friends? The two other house church members who are gradu-a-tating next year? Go team gradu-a-tating next year. Sigh. Lot's to get through to get to that point.

Hmmm, possibly I should be working now to avoid being stressed tomorrow. But there is a good song on the internet radio...nothing like a bunch of deep masculine voices going "rise, rise, rise, rise" in the background of the song.

Am truly worried for my friend Jill. Not only has her cell account been cancelled, but I finally got up the nerve to call her home in Detroit only to find out that her family's phone has been disconnected. No way to contact her. I Must rely on prayer and wait for her to contact me at some point.
OR I could hire a dashing, handsome private investigator who could save my life then fall in love with me and safely deliver Jill to my doorstep (hmmm, don't have enough money to hire a hot detective...and am not particularly fond of the idea of hiring a sweaty, loud-breathing, overweight one to do the same job for cheaper). So, I guess I'm stuck waiting by the phone attempting to send mental messages to Jill out there in land of mystery and no phones.

"I believe that the sun also rises."

I ask you:

If the example picture of severe bleeding on the first aid kit upsets, how will I ever be able to handle wrapping up a body part that is bleeding severely.

It irritates me, how worried I am about all my work.

La la la. Not much going on.

I finally beat back the influence of slacker girl and have begun doing work.

Meow.

Don't know where that came from.

Interesting day.

Lots of slacking. It was warm (+). We acted out a play in my first class (+). I had an odd conversation with Latin Dude (+/-). I got out of my second class early (+). My friend Britt picked on me (-).

Well, this is interesting. I have to admit, I'm not a fan of Martha.

Man catches 2-year-old girl as she falls 3 floors

KISSIMMEE, Florida (AP) -- A 2-year-old girl fell three stories from a resort walkway and safely into the arms of a man who had been reading a book by the pool and raced to save her.

The momentum sent both crashing into a bush, but the girl only suffered a bump and some scratches Saturday.

"I just happened to be at the right place at the right time," Alan Burns, 43, said Wednesday.

Burns said he was enjoying his weekend getaway at the Dorsan Suites when he heard a woman screaming. He looked up to see the toddler hanging from a railing on an outdoor walkway.

Burns and the woman ran underneath the child when the girl let go and fell into Burns' arms.

The baby's mother showed up several minutes later and was arrested on a charge of child neglect, police said. The woman was released on $1,000 bail.

That's the least happy I've seen Rice look in awhile.

Sigh. My head exploded last night, so I needed to take a long break from work. Here's hoping tonight goes better.

It's warm but cloudy. I just want to wear my new jacket and not have it get all wet.

My head is mush. I obviously should have taken more breaks while I did work.

Am going home this weekend. Tis sucky that it seems it will be an all work thing. This is what I get for slacking.

For some reason, I like today's weather. Not too cold...air damp. Nice.

A few days ago, one of the sweet mates walked in on Jas naked in the bathroom. In the end, I think it's better that it happened to her and not me, as "that's okay" with a laugh would have been replaced with panicked screaming. The moral of the story: Knock...or be SUPER intelligent and look at the crack between the door and the floor to see if the light is on in the bathroom. (I personally do both...as does Jas).

Smallville tonight! And sigh, more work. (No Batman movies. I won't allow myself...too time consuming)

I love Bucky's logic.

Wow! I haven't gotten enough sleep and I am feeling very irritable. Maybe if I drink LOTS of coffee I can get passed that. Don't call me if you don't have to.

Not too much happened today. I'm being super bad and am watching the second batman movie. In theory I understand that the penguins are marching to set off these bombs and destroy the city, but they're just so cute. I love the little penguins. Everyone.


Yeah for armies of penguins.

Down with homework that is being avoided.

You're a ninja. Sure, you all pretty much look the
same and have close to no personal life. But
hey, you get the job done. You have no other
choice.

This amuses me because it is a direct reference to NPR.


I'm off to do some of the work I did not get done last night.

This amuses me because it is a direct reference to NPR.

Why did that post twice? Beyond my capability to understand. Will do work now.

I'm a Shirley Temple, discover your ALcoHoLiC personality! Yeah! Go team. My roommate was a vampire.

Have watched Batman Forever. Bad me. It's amazing the things you miss when you are young. For example: Joy-gasm.



I should do work now.

Sigh. Had another pop quiz in Spanish. Very bad. Frankly, am beyond caring.

Wah. I have classes at during the beginning time of registration for next year. This upsets me. What are the chances that all of the classes I need will be taken in the first 25 minutes? It's been an issue before. Maybe because everything I need is so precise, teachers will take pity on me and give me overrides. I'm so obsessive that I'm tempted to have a friend schedule for me while I'm in class. (I'd skip class, but it's my EVIL Spanish class and attendance counts. I need all the points I can get)

Other than that the day is good. The sun is shining...but it's cold. From inside it looks nice out...so a few points for that.

I want my DVDs to come!

I was very bad yesterday...slacked all night. But, before that I was pretty good.

La la la

Not much happened today. Did work. Went to church. It was cool, I caught up with some people I haven't spoken to in a while. Now I'm slacking.

Well, the presentation went well. People laughed...but they didn't join in when I started singing. Negative points for them.

Am upset. Am unable to cheat on Spanish homework by reading English translation. Silly stories. They obviously should have been super famous so they would have been translated for all us silly English speakers to read. Swift is also proving to be boring. So, am way behind on where I want to be in work...but have taken a nap.

Yeah! Have made goal of running a little over 3 miles in 32 minutes.

So, I will not be doing an interpretive dance for my Spanish presentation after all. Instead I will break into "The song that never ends" and do random sound effects like "tick tick tick" and "click click click." As long as my nervousness of speaking Spanish in front of a large group of people or my only slight fear of being thought crazy by the entire class don't get in the way, all should go well tomorrow. Wish me luck!

So, Alan called tonight which immediately sent me into jumpy mode. Apparently he enjoys teasing me. Which more or less means he's an evil little kid laughing at the fly whose wing he tore off. Guess what I am in that bad metaphor.

The country quiz amuses me.

You're Turkey!

You have a good deal of history behind you, both good and
bad, but through it all, you've become a leader among your friends.  You
have an uncanny ability to make friends with people who hate each other, though
sometimes you just hate them instead.  Surprisingly fickle, you keep a
good balance in your life between religion and humanism, but most people think
you're fanatical anyway.  You're Istanbul, you're
Constantinople.

After reading this comic I have developed a new fear. May hundreds of worms never cling to any of our bodies...except possibly after death, when we shouldn't really notice it.

I was a bad Amazon and e-bay girl last night. I managed to avoid e-bay for about 3 years...until last night.

I have a quiz today. Maybe I should study or something.

I asked my father how he had mom made their marriage work. (They're celebrating year 33 in less than a month) Similarly, he said compromise was key.

Yeah! Did decent on evil bad Spanish test that was causing me a great deal of stress before the break. The class will still ruin my GPA, but at least now it should only be a small drop.

I can't go 5 minutes without writing on myself with pen. At least I shower. I feel really bad for my cow pillow that also gets written on at regular intervals. The thing is blue. (I'm all about the blue pens. In fact, Uniball Vision Elite is the official pen of me)

Am I sad and pathetic for being ecstatic over another member of this sweet taking out the trash in the bathroom. I mean it. Jumping for joy.

I should probably add more pictures to this blog. Or something.

Want to know what I love? Incomplete sentences.

Read today's get fuzzy. Now that I think about it, Satchel does look like a hamster with a hormone condition.

Wow. I don't check my blog for several days and you guys go tag board crazy.

I didn't go to the party. And I was not able to hang out with my friend Elizabeth. I was upset. She's was in from Iowa for only the weekend. A mile away from my house. And I couldn't see her. She got stuck painting her house. (Her family is trying to sell it) I would have offered to help, with the painting that is. But I really didn't want to ruin the house. I told Elizabeth she owed me a long phone conversation. I haven't really spoken to her since Christmas break.

Speaking of my college friends who I've become close with only to have leave me: Jill is MIA. I few weeks ago she called me saying she had some news I would be happy about (this means she's probably breaking up with icky-evil-ex-navy-dude again) [For the record, the break up wouldn't make me happy...it'd be a bad time for her. I wouldn't be happy because of her pain, but I do feel she would be better off without him...I also think his kids would be best not raised by him...but that's another story] But I can't tell her this. Oh no. I waited about a week to call her back, mainly because I was freaking out about some stuff of my own, and wouldn't have time for a long heart to heart over the phone. So, since then I've called twice. Her cell phone has been disconnected. Have a lost contact with Jill? I may try her house in Detroit, but I'm kinda afraid to. Her family dynamic is very different than the ones I'm used to encountering.

Well, my mom came back from her week at the spa with fake hair ties. She really likes them. She wore one to church with me. It was a good sermon about community and outreach. I was glad my mom came, what with her lack of sleep and jet lag. Plus, I don't think she was overly excited from the last service she went to me with. I think the words "Put God before your parents" sat with her very well.

I watched Terminator 3. It had a very similar plot to Terminator 2.

I have so much Jones and Starbucks coffees stored on a shelf in my room, it looks like an shelf in a grocery store.

"Blog" is not in the dictionary of this blogging program. I find the irony funny.

That is all.

Not much going on here.

If this was a melodrama, I'd complain about the fact that my mom took a trip to LA to spend the week at a spa while I, the college student, stayed at home, did work, and got sick during my spring break.

Sigh. I have work to do...but I think I'm going to slack.

I finally did some work today!

I finished Tom Jones which is quite an accomplishment considering it's an 871 page book...I read the last 100 pages today. I'm feeling very good...like I might even do some more homework.

Sigh. I'm feeling slightly under the weather. Figures I get sick while on break.

Today a bunch of people visited about the add-on to the house. I sat in the corner and read while they talked. I'm fairly certain they forgot I was there.

My father is attempting to fatten me up. Have gained 5 pounds. Need to start running again.

Mom appears to be having fun at spa in LA. Reading beside pool, what not. Is it ironic that a middle-age woman is having more of a wild spring break than her college-aged daughter? I think so.

So, I was totally planning on making today a work day. I read about 5 pages and fell asleep for 3 hours. I think I deserve an A for effort. I think I'm going to slack for the rest of the night...so I'll be cool with a B for effort.

Slacking. Slacking. Slacking.

I'll try to make tomorrow a work day. Of course, I tried to make today a work day.

Signs is on. I is a-frightened...but in the fun way. If you haven't seen the movie and don't want it ruined, don't read the next sentence. I may have to sleep with a glass of water next to my bed.

Today I saw Bruce Almighty with my dad. We stared ahead and ignored each other at the part where Jennifer Aniston "gets pleasured."

Went shopping for the week. Bought A LOT of Jones Soda. Am a happy spring breaker.

Okay, so I still don't feel prepared for evil-bad-Spanish exam. But, I've reached the point where I'm beyond caring. Pass/fail. Whatever. God's will be done. I'm going to relax when it's over.

Bring it on Professor Santa Claus look-alike.

THE PLAN:

-Read Bible, pray, study for Spanish...possibly eat at some point.

-12:40-5 Classes...Possibly talk to Professor Anti-mermaid man about my intention to have the story be a book (I thought he knew that) then possibly dump him from the project, because he does not have the time to help me (Of course, this might not be the wisest choice as I will still eventually need a letter of recommendation from him for Grad schools) And do not answer questions no matter how quiet class gets as I will be 150 pages behind in reading.

-Buy 2 tank tops I have wanted for a good 15 days from Gap.

-Eat dinner with friends.

-Study at Law Library until it closes at 1 AM. (I like it when they flash the lights at 12:45...scary)

WEDNESDAY (DAY OF PAIN)

-7:15 get up, read Bible, pray, and study for Spanish.

-11:30 Take evil bad Spanish test that will probably cause the ruin of my entire GPA.

-Go to other class.

-Possibly call parents to complain about Spanish/Sleep to eliminate lack of sleep headaches/watch TV/Maybe even catch up in some of Tom Jones reading.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY

-Coast until break.

So, I have done all possible methods of b.s. studying possible for Spanish. Now all there is left to do is actually study.
