Music
Today's Pooch Cafe'
Music: Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now (80's child, sorry)
Well, I think I'm actually going to try to do what I'm supposed to do in my Music Methods class, even though a big part of me really wants to do something to spite her. And no matter how hard I actually do try to hold the stupid recorder the right way, I always start out with it the wrong way. Honestly, today I wasn't doing it just so she'd have to tell me to switch hands...anyway...
That stupid thing's a lot harder to play than I thought it would be. Keep getting squeaky notes. Bet my neighbor hates me ;)
Oh, I got my absentee ballot in the mail today, got that all figured out, damn was that quite the task! But I figured it out and did my voting and sent it off in the mail.
I'm still getting 2 issues of the same Rolling Stone magazine...so I'm not sure what's going on there. I'd better not have TWO subscriptions for 9 years! ARG. I'd go nuts. Maybe I could destroy one, then save the other one. Yeah right. Too much work.
Oh, I went home on Wednesday after I was done with Biology so I could pick up some things that I'd left behind (yet again), and ended up bringing back my big, purple, inflatable chair from junior high/high school! OMG that thing cracks me up. I think I still need some more air in it. And don't let your bare skin touch it 'cause you'll get all sweaty and weird. Why the hell did I buy that thing? Impulse buy, it was near the register.
Friday night Amy and I are still planning on going to the hypnotist show, and we're going to get a spare key to the apartment made up for her in case I lock myself out of my house. That would suck. And then I think Saturday is a sleepover because Amy wants to come stay over here, but there's no way I'm giving up my bed! I've got extra sheets and blankets that she can use, I just need the floor room, now that I brought home some stuff.
A little more than 2 weeks until my birthday. I'll probably end up sitting at home doing nothing. Homework. Maybe Amy and I can bake me a cake in the dorms :) That'd be fun.

Please stand by for technical difficulties
Gotta start over with the template thingie, I couldn't figure out the HaloScan comments thing, so I just started over, and I'll add my fonts and widths and extra sidebar stuff in a bit, but I have to go to class now. Comments should be working now

politician's cronies
Well this is the second day that politician's have sent out their cronies to talk about them and educate me about them...and then I have to tell them that I'm from Wyoming. Well, that's okay, they say. You can just re-register in South Dakota. So then I have to tell them that I'm already registered in Wyoming. "Ohhhhh. Okay, thank you for your time, have a great day." Yeah. You too.
Maybe I should just put a sign on my door that says "Registered to vote in Wyoming" or something stupid like that. Yeah, probably not.
Well, I'm gonna go work on some homework. Whoopie!

Music Methods
Today's Pooch Cafe'
Music: Barenaked Ladies - This is Where it Ends
OMG I freakin' hate my Music Methods teacher. She talks to the entire class like we're 5 year olds because she used to teach that age group. She has this really annoying soft voice, but annoying in a different way. Makes me want to rip my ears off so I can hear them bleed instead of her talk.
She hadn't come into the classroom yet, so a girl and I at my table discussed her yelling at me the other day about my hands not being in the right spot, and she said maybe she'd rebel, too ;) It's just more comfortable, damnit. I played cello left-handed, I can play the fucking recorder left-handed, too, damnit. That class just makes me grouchy.
On the plus side, in about an hour I go into the eye exam place to get my eyes looked at and fitted for glasses.
Mom and Dad are leaving for upstate New York soon, and I'm excited to see the pictures they have when they come back. I'm going to go back home Wednesday (tomorrow) after Biology so that I can see my kitty again and mooch some food and pick up a few things that I (yet again) forgot to pick up on my numerous other trips home to get stuff I forgot.
We had a test today in Music Appreciation, I think I did well on it. But I was one of the first people done, and I hate that, 'cause that's what happened in my Bio class when I thought I did well, but ended up getting a C instead. Ooops. Stupid class. I'll probably never pass it.
Had a minor breakdown last night on the phone with Wes. Just gets depressing here all by myself and I have PMS, so that didn't help the case, and he was crunching ice over the phone while talking to me, which drives me nuts...but I'm sure I'm guilty of it, too. I don't know. We'll just say last night wasn't a good night for me. And with that, I'm out for now.

suprise!
I was dinking around, waiting for my laundry to get done when I got a phone call. It was Lance, who I just usually talk to online because it's easier, but he called me to see what was going on. We were talkin' for a while, I was watching something about Star Wars, he was watching something on PBS. Then he asked me what my address was in case he ever wanted to send me a card or a Christmas present or something like that, so I gave it to him, and we're talkin' a bit more, and I hear a knock on my door. No one knocks on my door, so I'm like, "Hold on a sec," and open the door to see none other than Lance standing at my door w/ his phone to his head! What a great suprise! I didn't figure he was going to come visit!
So we went to find Amy in the dorms and suprised the heck outta her, 'cause Lance had told her he wasn't going to be able to make it since he didn't have enough money. So we went to Subway (apparently that's the place to be on a Saturday afternoon) and ate lunch and talked a bit. But I had to be dropped back off at my apartment to get my clothes out of the dryer, shower, and go to work in the next half hour.
I get to my clothes in the dryer, and they're slightly warm, but completely damp! OH! I was so mad! So I put some more quarters in and they're drying right now. I took a quick shower, and now I'm just sitting here waiting for my shirts to get dry so I can go to work in a clean shirt. I have 20 minutes 'til I have to be there, and I really hope I either A) don't have to go to work in a dirty shirt or B) don't have to go to work in a damp shirt. Grrr.
Also, it's almost 80* outside and just BEAUTIFUL. Told Lance he needs to go through the canyon some time today while he's here 'cause this weekend is the peak time to do so. I think I'm gonna go hang out with him and Megan, one of his friends, and some other people he knows tonight when I get off work since Wes is going to be at the UT football game in Knoxville 'til midnight my time or so. Blah. Okay, well, I guess I should go check on my shirts here pretty soon, since I should be leaving in about five minutes...Wish me luck!

ouchie
Today's Pooch Cafe'
Music: Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be Nice?
Looks like I'm going to have to start taking Excedrin to work. Got another bad headache while I was there during my last couple hours. Sucks, and is still here even after some Asprin. I've about had it with this shit, and am really glad that I'm getting my eyes checked and glasses on Tuesday.
Got some bad news for Wes, I probably won't be able to come out to Tennessee for Thanksgiving because I guess that's the busiest shopping day of the year, and that's a big deal for retail. I've been trying to get ahold of him tonight to tell him about that, but he's out with his friends after a long day, so I just have to wait for him to call me. Hopefully I'm not sleeping by the time he decideds to do that.
Closing at work's not too bad, since there's not a lot of customers around, we (the front end manager, a co-manager, and myself) stood around and BSd about stuff, talked about tattoos and other jobs and just weird stuff. Kinda cool. Had some lady walk in 5 minutes before we closed, and then come up to my register at the very last possible moment rolling her eyes saying "I wish they'd told me you guys closed so early!" Lady, 10pm is not early, tyvm. We used to close at 9pm. Be happy.
Well, I think I'm off to find some headache relief, watch a little tv, and work on my scarf some more. Adios! Got a 7 hour day ahead of me tomorrow. Kill me now.

More pictures
Today's Pooch Cafe'
Got some new pictures up on my Picture Blog if anyone wants to check them out. Some of the apartment, one of me after I dyed my hair, and some more of the canyon and the river that goes thru it. It wasn't so sunny when Amy and I went thru yesterday, so I think that may have helped the pictures...I dunno. Have fun!
Oh, and, omg, my K-8 Music Methods teacher almost made me cry today 'cause I was holding my recorder "wrong" since I'm left-handed and I had my left hand on the bottom of the thing instead of up top like everyone else had, and she's like, "Now, don't forget that your left hand goes on top," looking right at me, and I didn't switch, and she's all, "No, your other left hand." And when I explained that I was left-handed and did it opposite, she's like, "It doesn't matter!" Eeesh! I mean, seriously. It doesnt' make that big of a difference, and I can do it better MY way. Too bad I sit up in the front row so she can sit and glare at me when I do it wrong. Grr.

bored
Today's Pooch Cafe'
Music: Shania Twain - It Only Hurts When I Breathe
Well, I got bored and decided I would dye my hair. I was going to have Amy come over and help me with it tomorrow afternoon when we were done with classes, but I couldn't wait any longer and it was only 8:30pm, so I thought, what the heck, let's get it done now.
Don't work tomorrow, yay. I kept missing merchandise w/ tags or didn't get the tags deactivated, so the alarm kept going off when my customers would try to leave the store. Whoops. I learned something new about that today, so hopefully we won't have to worry about that too much anymore.
I'll try to get some pictures taken of ze hair when I get it done tonight, or tomorrow, however ambitious I'm feeling. I'm still getting my headaches and I'm having a hard time falling asleep lately, so I got some Simply Sleep and Excedrin Tension Headache stuff, so I'm waiting for something to kick in.
We got recorders in my K-8 Music Methods class yesterday. OMG. This is so fourth grade. If we have to practice outside of class, my apartment is going to hate me because those are some of the most awful sounding instruments ever.
On a happier note, Amy and I are going to go to the canyon tomorrow so I can get some more pictures. I'm going to try to get some different angles and stuff this time, get closer to the trees, that kinda stuff. It's supposed to be cloudy, so that sucks, but it's the only time I'll be able to do it for a few days, so I hope it's not tooooo awful bad outside.
I think as soon as I get a weekend off of work, or even a day off of work on the weekend, or even if I don't have to work on a Wednesday, I'm going to take a trip home to visit the familia and the gatos 'cause I miss 'em. *Sniffle*

quickie
Today's Pooch Cafe'
Music: Queer Eye for the Straight Guy theme music
Ahhh, work. This is just going to be a quick post, I think. I'm a little tired from work and school. Mostly from work, 'cause school itself isn't that time consuming.
Gettin' the hang of the Kmart thing pretty quickly. I worked 7 hours today, and another 7 hours tomorrow...I figured because I asked for 20-25 hours a week that I would only be working 4-5 hours per day on a daily basis...no such luck. Oh well. I have Tuesday off which means I won't have to worry about fitting anything around my eye exam for when I get my glasses :) I'm excited.
Thick frames? Invisible frames? Or just something that looks good? We'll see. I've never had glasses and I don't even wear sunglasses, so I don't know what to look for...
I am pooped, so I think I'm going to hit the hay. Adieu.

Music: Indiana Jones Theme
Why do people feel the need to IM you on your computer while they're on a cell phone? Takes FOREVER to get a response from them! Isn't the point of chatting online "real time" talking? Yeah, that's what I thought. Also all the little "shortcuts" so they don't have to spell everything out like, "how r u? ne news?" Blah. So that's a little annoying, and my gripe for the day. Thank you for listening.
Also, why is Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on the Sci-Fi channel?

On the Cover of the Rolling Stone
Holy shit. I'm going to be getting Rolling Stone magazing for the next...9 years! I have a subscription until February of 2013, and I have no idea how it got that way. I'm going to have a lot of wall paper. I just wanted to change my mailing address so that they would still send me my magazines, since they have this weird thing where the post office won't forward magazines after 6 weeks of forwarding, or something like that.
They'd called me to see if I wanted to update my subscription, so I went ahead and said yes since I still like and read the magazine. I don't remember how long it was for, maybe 2 years or so. I'd asked to get all the back issuies of the magazines I'd missed while I was at school last year when they stoped forwarding them to me. Well, he said okay, but somehow set up ANOTHER account for me, so I started getting doubles of all the CURRENT issues, and never recieved any of the back issues I wanted, so I had to get that taken care of too, and that's when I realized they'd set me up with another account. So he MERGED the accounts, but said I wasn't going to get charged for extra...so I then had a subscription until 2012, but then he added those 16 issues I'd missed while I was in school, giving me a subscription until 2013. Holy crap.
But at least they'll make it to me now!
Also, I just updated my Photo Blog and added a bunch of pictures from the Spearfish Canyon when I went driving thru it today, so check that out.

trip to the nurse
Today's Pooch Cafe'
Music: Georgia Satellites - Battleship Chains
I called my mom about my headaches and she said to go to the nurse, so I did just that after my afternoon class. She was a new nurse, or new to me, as she's not the nurse I saw this spring when my ovaries were trying to kill me.
She asked about stress in my life, if I was carrying too much in my backpack, and felt in my back for tension knots. She found a few and kinda tried to massage them out, while massaging other spots on my back to look for more tension knots. Felt pretty good. Of course my skin turned all bright red where she'd done that...probably didn't look that great. She said my skin had "hypersensitivity" or something like that. No big deal.
Then I told her about how I don't wear my contacts like I'm supposed to because the climate here is too dry and irritates my eyes, or how I forget to take them out at night and end up falling asleep in them and having bloodshot eyes in the mornings. She instantly concluded that this was the cause of my headaches, since they're just starting to attack right at the beginning of school. She asked if I ever wore glasses and I told her no, not even sunglasses when I drive because they mess with my periphreal (sp?) vision, and my nose is crooked so they sit on it funny and I can never get the nose pieces right...then she concluded that I may have a deviated septum. Sheesh. No more trips to the nurse for me. Although my insurance may pay to get that straightened if I ever so desired to have my nose broken so that it's more asthetically pleasing. Which I don't, so no big deal, it's not causing me any problems and never has before, so why should I need to do anything with it?
Anyway, enough of that. Gotta find out when Thanksgiving is and request it off so I can go see Wes again. And write up a paper on the concert I went to tonight, AND work on my index cards for the Bio test on Monday. Busy girl!

I called my mom about my headaches and she said to go to the nurse, so I did just that after my afternoon class. She was a new nurse, or new to me, as she's not the nurse I saw this spring when my ovaries were trying to kill me.
She asked about stress in my life, if I was carrying too much in my backpack, and felt in my back for tension knots. She found a few and kinda tried to massage them out, while massaging other spots on my back to look for more tension knots. Felt pretty good. Of course my skin turned all bright red where she'd done that...probably didn't look that great. She said my skin had "hypersensitivity" or something like that. No big deal.
Then I told her about how I don't wear my contacts like I'm supposed to because the climate here is too dry and irritates my eyes, or how I forget to take them out at night and end up falling asleep in them and having bloodshot eyes in the mornings. She instantly concluded that this was the cause of my headaches, since they're just starting to attack right at the beginning of school. She asked if I ever wore glasses and I told her no, not even sunglasses when I drive because they mess with my periphreal (sp?) vision, and my nose is crooked so they sit on it funny and I can never get the nose pieces right...then she concluded that I may have a deviated septum. Sheesh. No more trips to the nurse for me. Although my insurance may pay to get that straightened if I ever so desired to have my nose broken so that it's more asthetically pleasing. Which I don't, so no big deal, it's not causing me any problems and never has before, so why should I need to do anything with it?
Anyway, enough of that. Gotta find out when Thanksgiving is and request it off so I can go see Wes again. And write up a paper on the concert I went to tonight, AND work on my index cards for the Bio test on Monday. Busy girl!
headaches
So I've been getting headaches for the last 4 days in a row. Sometimes they're tension headaches, sometimes they center around my eyes, sometimes they are just headaches. They're not migranes yet because I haven't been getting sick, but they might turn into 'em. Who knows. I've been trying to take stuff for them, but they just don't help. Mom said it might be because of the birth control I'm on, and that I should go see the nurse sometime, so I might have to go do that today after my Science class. Boo.
Why is it that fans, something that are in continuous motion, are always covered in hair, dust, and other random particles? It's weird.

work work work
Music: Weezer - Pink Triangle
Well, my first day at work wasn't too bad. Pretty easy stuff, but I can see how it can get stressful real quick. I'm still learning the ropes of the register and the keyboard functions. I trained with a girl for about 2 hours, and then when I got back from my break, I got a register of my own, and didn't really have any problems, so so far, so good. I don't work again 'til Tuesday, though, which kinda sucks, because Mondays and Fridays are a hard day to schedule me, and for some reason she didn't schedule me on the weekend, Oh well. Homework time 'cause I have a Bio test on Monday.
I think this will be an okay job. Cashiering is easy, and after like, 15 minutes, Cassie the girl who trained me, was ready to send me off on my own 'cause I caught on real quick. So yay. Which probably means they'll want to move me out onto the floor after about a month or so. We'll see...I like cashiering...yes, I'm insane...
I really need to do dishes and clean my apartment. Perhaps I will this weekend. I'm kinda pooped tonight. Gonna eat some Fla-vor-ice thingies and veg out and maybe read some Biology or Earth Science. Also, I think I'm going to get a "nice" folding table and some folding chairs with cushions attached so I can have a place to eat, as my laptop takes up the only flat space I currently have.
Oh, and my birthday is in exactly a month. Please send money. Kidding.
Well, that's all I have for today. Aloha.

no more computer training!
Music: Dwight Yokum - Honky Tonk Man
Well, I'm all finished with my computer training at Kmart and tomorrow I start up at the front end training on a register with someone...so that should be interesting. I think I'll pick it up pretty quick. I think the guy didn't give me my 20% discount today when I bought my shoes, I should look at my receipt. But he didn't take my 20% thinger, either, so I can just buy a DIFFERENT pair of shoes, black pants, and white shirt for 20% off.
Bought some dark purple yarn, gonna try to knit a scarf out of it...ha. I will probably end up crocheting it because it takes me forever to knit anything.
I've been having a headache for the last couple of days...so that's sucking a lot...been gulping down the ol' Ibuprofen like mad, still not helping. Forgot to pick up some tension headache stuff when I was at Kmart...oh well. I've decided that sandwiches are going to be my food of choice for a while. Less dishes to clean. I hate doing dishes.
STILL need to buy a 3-ring binder. Grrr.

Cleopatra, Queen of Denial
(This has nothing to do with me and the way I feel about Wes, don't fret.)
Well I said he had a lot of potential
He was only misunderstood
You know he didn't really mean to treat me so bad
He wanted to be good
And I swore one day I would tame him
Even though he loved to run hog wild
Just call me Cleopatra everybody, 'cause I'm the Queen of Denial
I knew he didn't have any money
Yeah that's why he couldn't buy me a ring
Oh and just because he bought himself a brand new pickup truck
Really didn't prove anything
And he never had to say he loved me
I could see it every time he smiled
Just call me Cleopatra everybody, 'cause I'm the Queen of Denial
Oh Queen of Denial, buyin' all his alibis
Queen of Denial, floatin' down a river of lies
Well I'm not gonna jump to conclusions
Or throw away this perfect romance
Even though I caught him dancin' last night
With a girl in a leopard skin pants
Yeah, he's probably stuck in traffic
And he'll be here in a litte while
Just call me Cleopatra everybody, 'cause I'm the Queen of Denial
Oh Queen of Denial, buyin' all his alibis
Queen of Denial, just floatin' down a river of lies
are you sure today's not monday?

Music: Ben Kweller - How It Should Be (Sha sha)
Also, due to the changes I've made, my tagboard and all that other stuff has wandered down towards the bottom of the page...Sorry, I don't know what happened, but I'll try to fix it later...Not sure how, tho...
Grrr. Last night I got what was possibly the worst sleep ever. Went to bed with the slightest bit of a headache, that turned into a full blown headache around 2am. Got up, stumbled around the room to the bathroom in the dark to find some ibuprofen. Took some, went back to bed, still with a headache. It was hot, so I turned on the a/c, but then around 5am or so it started making weird noises and woke me up. Then the rainstorm woke me up again. Grrr. Class in an hour, training at 1pm today for Kmart. This is going to suck. Still have a headache. Now I gotta walk to school in the rain 'cause I don't have a parking pass for my car and I think riding my bike would be a bit too breezy...

Music: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Aeroplane
Mood: Full
I needed a change in templates again, sorry folks! I'm still tryint to figure out how to get all my fonts and stuff, 'cause this one isn't as easy to read as that other one was...
Well, I start training tomorrow at Kmart, as I've probably said before...kinda excited about that, 'cause I'm dirt poor and have rent to pay and shit to buy. Had a small quiz in my Earth Science class today, totally forgot about it, so I had no idea on half the stuff :-S And I even wrote it down! Guess I need to find a new method of bookkeeping.
Rode my bike to school this morning and could hardly sit on the seat 'cause my butt hurt so bad! So I opted to walk to school for my afternoon class...

- Slotted spoon
- another thing that you need for mac and cheese
- 3-ring binder
- so I don't forget my stuff for classes
- Bread
- Peanut butter and or jelly
- since I don't have a toaster, it wouldn't do me any good to buy cinnamon or sugar.
- Plug-in air freshener
- I have a candle and some Febreze air spray, and they work alright, but they're only temporary, and I don't dare leave a candle burning in the apartment just so it smells nice.
- Printer Ink

hills = enemies
Music: Matchbox Twenty - Downfall
Mood: Pooped
Went for a bike ride this evening after I had my dinner. Big mistake. It's my first time on a bike in Lord knows how long, probably three months or so, and there's hills all over the place in this town, and I happen to live atop one of them...I could barely walk when I got off my bike, let alone walk up three flights of stairs to my apartment! Cripes...it was bad.
When I grabbed my bike off the back of the camper and put it in my trunk, there was a spider web all over it. Well, I washed my bike off before I put it in my car to get any bird crap and spider gunk off of it. When I opened the trunk this evening to get it out of the car, there was a spider web in my car! Freshly made by some gross spider that's running loose in my car now because I had the seats folded down so the bike could fit all the way in my car. Grrr. I'm going to be so mad if I start finding more spiderwebs in parts of my car that aren't the trunk.
I'm gonna go pass out or something with the a/c on. Ciao.

Not a lot to talk about today. Went home yesterday for the day to pick up my bike and get a signature on my FAFSA form for student aid. Before I left Spearfish, though, Dad had me pick up 6 dozen ears of corn from the farmer's market so he could put it up for the winter. Mom and Dad had company over, so of couse I stayed for dinner and desert ;) 'Twas very good, baby moose steaks. Yum. Had a great time, laughed a lot. I hadn't had that much fun in a long time. Is it sad that I have more fun with my parents and their friends than I do with my own friends? Probably not...but it's hard to say the way some people are with their parents sometimes...
Trying to put a dent in my reading homework...I think I'm down to 6 or 7 chapters left to read, 3 by tomorrow, 2 by Tuesday. Should be cake (yeah right). Did my laundry today, that was exciting. Man, I'm boring today guys, sorry...just tired. Need to get a table for between my bed and closet and a recliner and a chair for the table, maybe 2 chairs if I get good paychecks. Start training at Kmart on Tuesday, should be easy, it's all computerized. I'll get thru it in like, 8 hours probably.
Well, that's all for today...probably one of the most boring posts on Earth...later.

school bites
Today's Pooch Cafe'
Music: Brad Paisely and Allison Krauss - Whiskey Lullaby
Mood: Bored
Well, school's off to a slow start, but that's only because none of my teachers have ASSIGNED us anything. That's one thing I kind of never liked about college; that most of it is just reading and then lecture, and then being tested on what you've read and been lectured. I'd rather have some assignments or projects (not too many, of course) to go along with the readings and lectures. What I'm trying to say is I'm tired of reading because I have 2 chapters to read for Music Appreciation, 5 to read for K-8 Music (yeah, five), 2 and a half to read for Science methods, and half a chapter to read for Biology. All in all that's 10 chapters to read by Monday and Tuesday. Booo! C'mon profs! Let's get the show on the road.
Gotta run home tomorrow to pick up my bicycle, shower radio, tan shoes, and some other random things I may have left at home (again) tomorrow. Plus, my parents are having friends over for dinner, so that means Dad's going to cook a goooood meal for us :) So I'll be sure to stay for dinner, as well. Even if that means driving home in the dark, dodging deer. Tomorrow will also give me one last time to do free laundry at my house.
Man, I've been watching wayyyyyy too much CMT and GAC...but there's nothing else on. Sucks only having 80some channels, doesn't it?? Okay, okay...so 80 channels isn't so bad...
Oh, by the way, some of you will be happy to know that I have decided to register this year to vote in the presidential election in November. I'm not sure what changed my mind because I really had no intention of doing it in the first place after I'd voted in 2000...but I think it had something to do with the fact the John Kerry was a guest on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and he just said some really smart things. Besides, Bush is an idiot and hopefully SOMEONE can fix some stuff he did. Kerry said that the middle class people are paying about 9% more in taxes than we were before Bush was president, and that the upper class, rich people are paying LESS than us middle class people...thought that was a load of bull.
This is about the most political I will ever get, so don't try to start any fights with me or arguments or tell me your side and expect me to know what you're talking about, because I really don't know what's going on, I just know I don't want Bush to be our president for the next four years...
Anywho, I'm going to try to start reading my Earth Science again w/o falling asleep. Adios!

YAY!
I'm employed! Well, not 'til Tuesday when I start my training, but I did get the job at Kmart (easy peasy) 'cause I know exactly how to answer questions and how to deal with situations at stores, because I rock.
Also, I emailed my teacher about when he showed us Bela Fleck in class, and he asked if I had any CDs of his he could borrow. Too bad I don't have any...I could probably make one or somethin'. Who knows, I just thought that was pretty cool.

well shit.
Some psycho lady almost ran me over on my walk to school this morning...had to jump out of her way 'cause she was going WAYYYY too fast for the stop sign that was quickly approaching, as well as any pedestrians that might be crossing it (me). She just kinda giggled "sorry" and smiled at me. Biatch. Watch where you're going, you're in a school zone for Peat's sake.
Then in Music Appreciation, our teacher played some Bela Fleck :D I was really happy, 'cause Bela Fleck is like, the best banjo player on this planet. And probably on other planets, too. So I need to email him and tell him he should play more bluegrass music in class, 'cause I really appreciate that ;)
Oh, by the way, Pooch Cafe' is like, the cutest comic I've come across in an long, long time, you should read it :) But unless you join the club, you can only read the last 2 weeks of what's been going on, so that kinda sucks, and I'm cheap.
Spaghettios and Meatballs for lunch, yum yum. I need to go to the grocery store and restock my food supplies. And maybe get some chocolate. Errr, some health food. Yeah...
I have a job interview at 2pm today at Kmart for a cashier position. It's only $6.00/hour, but whatever, I need the money, and they're really flexible with their hours and whatnot, and I like cashiering for some strange reason...lots of people don't. Oh well. Wish me luck!

I'm BAAAAAAAACK!
I got my internet a week early guys! Which means I can finally start updating this stupid thing some more!
I've decided I'm going to nix the poseable futon idear and get some el cheapo recliners-in-a-box at Wal*Mart for $80 each. The stupid futon was going to cost over $250 with shipping and handling costs, plus they couldn't deilver it to my apartment. Hosers. So whatever. Just no poseable futon for me!
It's soooooo NICE to have furniture in here! As soon as I get it a little more tidied up and stuff put away, I'll take some pictures of it and post 'em on here for y'all. It's quite homey, I really like it. And now with cable and high speed internet, I am set to go!!! Just need some chairs and a TV dinner tray so I can eat somewhere other than my bed with a box as my "table." Sad, I know.
Hope everyone is doing well! Bye!

Dream Analysis
DREAM TITLE: Freckles - 09/05/04
Dream Entry
I was waiting somewhere on a bench sitting down. I noticed that my legs had a lot of freckles on them, and that they were so freckley, it almost looked like giraffe spots.
Analysis
A giraffe, really? Alright, a giraffe is usually a warning that it is better not to reach out (get it, the long neck) and interfere with other people's business unless you are asked. Although, it depends on how the giraffe was reacted to in the dream. If the giraffe was a pleasant site, it could mean you're reaching for growth of some kind. You figure it out.

So freakin' weird...
Okay...so I really liked Terri Clark's song, "Girls Lie, Too" until I saw the video at this very moment...for some reason, they felt the need to make it pirate themed???? And the pirate in the video was made to look just like Johnny Depp's character Captain Jack Sparow from Pirates of the Caribbean...WTF?!?! I'm so confused...ew...and there's some really gross creepy guy at the end...I get it now. STOOPID video!! ACK!
But I must say, they did do a really good job getting the guy dressed up like Cpt. Jack Sparrow...
Oh, by the way, I updated my photo blog, so check out some of the stuff, you may not have seen it before, but anyone who's looked at my deviantART profile will have seen a lot of this already.

Oh, by the way, I updated my photo blog, so check out some of the stuff, you may not have seen it before, but anyone who's looked at my deviantART profile will have seen a lot of this already.
What I'm Listening To: Terri Clark - Girls Lie, Too
tee hee hee
God, my sister is a fucking bitch. I got home yesterday from school for the weekend and I parked in front of the house...the coveted "not in the garage, but super close to the front door" parking space. Otherwise you have to park on the side of the house and omg, walk an extra 10 steps to get to the house. So I got the "good spot." My sister comes home from work last night and parks directly behind me because she's a bitch. Whatever. I need to run errands this morning; pick up my paycheck and get a change of address form and the Post Office...she's in my way, so I find the spare keys to her car and just move it to the parking spot on the side of the house. No big deal, I don't wake her up to ask for her keys, or even wake her up to make her move her car, I do it myself and everything is just fine. The only thing that had stopped me from just driving over the grass was the fact that it'd been raining all night and I didn't want to tear up the lawn...
Well, I get home from town, Ashley's sitting in the living room watching 7th Heaven or some dumb show, and she says to me, "You don't live here anymore, don't take my parking spot." WTF?! Completely uncalled for. I told her that I didn't even wake her up to move her car, so she should just sod off. Really made me mad. I never once treated her like that when she moved out of here and would take "my" parking spot. I used to park behind her occasionally in my manual transmission car because she couldn't move it since she can't drive a stick, but that was the worst of what I ever did...I was never a bitch to her...so yeah...kinda angry about that, and no one was there to witness it...
Anyway, when I went to pick up my paycheck, I guess one of the grease monkeys had driven a truck through one of the garage doors!! It was a stick shift and he didn't put his foot on the clutch when he started it, and it jumped almost all the way through the door. There was even a hood tech standing in front of the truck when it happened, just about sent him through the door, too, I guess...So that kid got fired and now they only have one person to drive the trucks/cars through when they're finished 'cause two of the guys don't have driver's licenses and the rest are all too dirty to get in someone's vehicle...eeek. I thought about asking if they needed any extra help...but then I thought..."Naaaaahhhhhhh." Evil.

Pennies
I forgot to tell you all: I deposited my pennies on Monday before I left for college with my car completely packed as much as I could put in with out it tipping over...Sixty five dollars and ninety two cents in pennies. That thing was freakin' heavy. I think the girl at the counter was not too pleased, either, to see all those pennies...oh well.
Smelly got into a big fight while I was gone...now he's limping and his ear's all torn up and he looks pretty bad. But he also smells like the underside of a truck, and has oil spots on his head...so I'm going to have to give him a bath tomorrow, 'cause he really IS a smelly cat tonight...

Hoooray!
Fucking A, Peater man. I just had this big huge long post, and when I went to publish it, there was an error! WAAAAA!
So...I guess that means I have to try to start over, which means it won't be NEARLY as good as the other post that I had up 'cause I'll forget things. Stupid technology, anyway.
Well, this being my first post in a week, it will be a little longer than usual. Thank you everyone for leaving me messages while I was gone and whatnot, I was able to check my email while I was at a friend's dorm room, so I could at least see those :) So thank you. Except for Phil. You stay out of this, damnit.
Out of the 5 days I was in Spearfish, I went to Wal*Mart 6 times. Sometimes twice in one day. It was really rediculous. You never know what you need until you're back at your place and don't have it, I guess.
I'm home this weekend only until Saturday or Sunday so I can pick up my bed, dresser, baker's rack, tv, DVD player, bike, uhhhh, other random things so that I can have FURNITURE! Right now all I have is a cot, and it's very very sad. Not even a random Playskool chair to sit on. It's not very guest friendly right now. As soon as I get my bed moved in, I'll be able to decide what kind of desk I can get, and if I can get that futon. There's a cooler one on there somewhere, light tan, darkish tan, and orange pillows, it's better than the red/brown one that I put up the link for...oh well.
Grrr. I don't know what all I had in that last one, so I'll just end this here, except that I've gone to all my classes, they seem like they will go well, except for Bio again because that class just sucks balls...Oh, and Corey, we need to talk.
