Batteries and Slurpies
9/30/2004 10:00:00 PM So when my message thingy says, "Be Right Back" on Messenger, usually that means, I'll be right back...so you probably wont get answered if you try to talk to me *cough* *cough* Reid, Kayla *cough* Reid is trying to avoid his "kracker" status now by talkin' street to me. Its kinda freakin me out yo'. Anyways, Ruth's car died today, and I got to help her jump start it with my hella-cool battery starter thingy. It was da shiznit. (I think Im channeling Reid--But I dont think its really Reid, he's coming up with alot of stuff...I dont think Reid has that much of a bl-accent in him) Well, I guess Ivan hooked it up, but I found him the instructions. So we went to the Auto-Zone, and walked around clueless looking at batteries, and some little kid was lauging his ass off at us. Ivan pretended he knew about cars, but the only reason he came with us, is cause we told him we could stop at Hobby Lobby (which we never did, heehee, foolish Mexican). Then when we were leaving Ruth was like, hey, Ivan can you hand me my glasses out of that orange case...and Ivans like, uuhh, there's nothing in the orange case...and Ruth is like, oh that's okay, its not like I need them..I just cant see depth at night....yeah, nice, huh. So then, the battery run, ended up with us going to Target to return Ruths deodorant, cause she wanted a different kind...I know what a loser, and then that turned into a slurpie run. Ivan was singing along with some high pitched background harmonies in the car, so I tried to make him sing the John Travolta squeal at the end of Summer Nights (Grease) and he wouldnt, so then Ruth and I made fun of him for never seeing the movie, but found out that his high school was actually the one they filmed Grease at, so that was cool. So he has obviously seen the movie (and gone to the school) he was just holding out on us. Which wasnt cool.
What is the deal with Bitty Shram getting the boot on Monk?
9/30/2004 04:51:00 PM I want her back and I know you do too (even if none of you watch the show). So here's what ya do, go here: Petition Sorry...Wanda said to, so I did. And then the power of her genius made me want to share with you non-Wanda readers, so... Go read Wanda here: TVSPOILERS! And if your wandering why is says, "Ask Kristin" instead of "Ask Wanda", its cause it used to be Wanda, then she admitted that her real name was Kristin Veitch but she is still a tv maven, so...I always liked Wanda better...its catchy. She's also very funny, but this week was kinda lame, so dont judge her for it! Wanda Wrules! Now that I got that out of the way, on with the blog! Current Mood: Satisfied Current Music: ...Holy Crap! I dont have any music on! Wait, just one second! I'll fix it! Okay, lets try this again... Current Music: Satisfaction -- Rolling Stones (see they fit) Anyways, I just got done eating supper, and it was good. I had tomato soup and grilled cheese. The soup was good, but I think Loup City has ruined me with their really greasy/plastic-y grilled cheese sandwiches, cause this one was pretty normal, but just not that appealing to me. I also had the best cookie I've ever had in my life. It was chocolate with macadamia nuts, and chocolate chips, and some swirly kinda chocolate syrup on top. Okay, so I only ate half of it (Hey, it was a lot of chocolate), so it was the best, half-a-cookie, I've ever had in my life. Althoug I wil probably never get it again, it was nice to have the one experience. I'm also really excited, cause I'm not working tonight, so that means I get to watch my first episode of Joey! (I almost typed Joy, so then I was gonna be like, "Happy-Happy-Joy-Joy, Happy-Happy-Joy-Joy, hey, get off my foot you iiiddiot! Woops, ssthorry Ren"...and enough of that tangent) Also tonight I'm going to watch the Presidential Debate (yes my first one ever..usually I'm so mad when it would be on instead of my show --whichever that happened to be at the given moment--and would rebel and rather than watching it, switch over to watch latino futbol...or just boycott the tv altogether) I'm hoping it may sway me in one direction or the other, because I really want to vote this year (after all I did type that paper on the importance of voting). I just dont want to vote without knowing as much as I can, about what decision I'm making...get it? Good, if you do please help me. I probably would've forgotten about the whole thing if it hadnt been for John Stewart. I love him. I was watching his show last night with DJ and Ivan and we were laughing our butts off. I want to get his book too, suddenly after watching a commercial for it last night. John Stewart is a neat guy. And he's Canadian :) Thats really too bad. Today my Mass Comm (aka bong teacher) was talking about him in class, and how she honestly thinks that he is a genius and that he should run for President. Which sadly he can't cause he's Canadian. (Strange, isnt the American Flag in the background of his show...and his book...which is titled..AMERICA) Oh well. It was funny, cause she was like, if I wasnt married, I would have his love child. Most of the class agreed that Chris Rock, and John Stewart would be the two best candidates for the election (I'm seriously not joking here--those guys really are politcal geniuses) Then we somehow got talking about Oprah, and that led to Michael Jackson? But I've decided that since most of the men on my "list" (maggie you know what I'm talkig about) are 'older' (sorry, dont care what you think Reid), that its okay for me to add him. So I have Will Ferrell, Conan, Matty McCoughneghy, John Stewart, Ewan McGregor, and Jude Law. I may have forgotten a few but those are the eldest I believe. I still love Mrazy and Damien. Ooo! And I think I forgot Simon Cowell, for above ^ ...(c'mon! he's British!) What ever happened to the Weakest Link? That show was awesome. Hey, did you guys know there's a Troy Myers on MADtv, who looks just like Seth Myers on SNL? Maybe they're brothers...that would be cool. Hey, you guys should also go here : Stewart/Babysitter Heehee, Stewart is great. It might take a bit to load but its hilarious. Wednesday, September 29, 2004
Who makes green fire hydrants?
9/29/2004 04:02:00 PM Current Music: "Over and Over again" - Nelly ft. Tim McGraw Current Mood: HAPPY (but only cause I'm listening to this song-otherwise I would be indifferent) I sent the song to Kayla and she and her roomate like it too (although I dont know how much cred they hold with you guys after Kayla said her roomate loves J2K too, haha) So I guess I can also attribute my happiness to the fact that in 5 years, Conan is taking over the Tonight Show w/Jay Leno. I know, its still 5 years away, and I may (but probably not) forget between now and then, but still eventually, Conan will move to his earlier time slot, and then I wont have to try and stay awake till the butt crack of dawn, to see him. Plus he'll get more fans, and you all will be jealous, that I loved him first before you, because you will love him too, and think, this man is a genius, he is the funniest man ALIVE! Well, we'll see where Will Ferrell winds up. But if he dies within 5 years, then Conan will rule. I will still miss Jay though...he will be 60 by the time he retires...sad. And Letterman hasn't made any plans yet for his successor, so he may be around untill he dies...who knows? Guess what? I took my first college exam today...I didnt really like it, but it was okay. Still easier than a Mrs.Bond test, but without all the weeks beforehand where your supposed to be learning what's on the test. Those of you who pass her tests, know what I'm talking about. Those that dont have any idea, here's a tip...in class, every day, try to pay attention to anything you do, cause it may be on a test. However, that doesnt seem to help my situation with college professors who dont go to classes, so the curriculum, ends ups falling behind, and instead of pushing back all the dates on the syllabus to be accurate of where the class is, we have a test anyway...its nice (<- total sarcasm there, if you didnt get that, although I'm sure most of you did. Just maybe not the ones who hate Will Ferrell and dont get that style of humor. Did I mention I love Will Ferrell?) Oh yeah, and who makes green fire hydrants? Especially when they're in front of trees, which also happen to be green. Then someone perfectly innocent may come along and park their car there, and not realize they will be getting a ticket because they didnt notice the green fire hydrant. What? No this didn't happen to me.....

Whoa Reba!
9/22/2004 03:17:00 PM 
I dont know if you would guess this from this picture, but I got really bored and started a collage on my closet door...hehee...so if you have something to suggest I put on it, holla! Cause right now, I cant think of alot of my quirky fascinations. Mainly it's music focused, with singers/bands I like, but it may grow to include favorite movies or stuff, just cause I want to include Mary Poppins. SO it could be my wall of inspiration (if you will)...but you guys would almost know me better than me, so tell me what you would expect to find in a collage on the closet door of Steph. But it's cool, all the pics are in black and white, but there some pops of color here and there. (Example, I cut out the figures of Joe Perry and Steven Tyler, and put them up, against some black and white stuff, and I cut out Jason Mraz (and his cool hat) from a magazine)<--- I just used a set of parenthesis inside a set of parenthesis...Mrs. Bond would be so dissapointed :)
Rainforest are the devil!!!
9/22/2004 01:53:00 PM Most of you will be confused by that title, but there should be on particular person who will get it, after the listen to their messages tonight....then again, because it's the person that she is, she probably wont get it, still. Reid should know who I'm talking about by now. By the way that was really funny when I was talking on the phone w/Kayla while you were on MSN. I told her to call you a "hoser" cause I was talking like a Canadian, and after she typed it, I was like, he's gonna put a red angry face now and say something about me being mean....and then you did...and I was laughing my ass off. I think Kayla was confused. Especially when she told me what you put, and asked how to respond, and all I said was "telepathy" lol. I tried to explain, but I dont know if she got it. So today, for my writing class we had to do a peer review of our drafts (the assignement was to write an open letter, expressing/encouraging someone to hear out your thoughts on some issue important to you---it was based off a letter Martin Luther King wrote from a jail cell to some priests. But all I could think about was Maggie's Voice Of Democracy Paper --the demanding one about bannanas that Mrs. Bond wouldnt let her use this year ;) Anyways, this is like the only time, I've written about Politics (well, besides my own VOD). It's just not something I do. But I happened to write this one about the importance of voting, blah, blah...see, I'm already bored talking about my own paper. But the dude I was paired with is this quiet guy that sits in the corner, I dont think Ive ever heard him speak before today. And so we swapped (heehee, I like that word, it sounds neat) papers, and as I read his, I became afraid to make any corrections (or I just forgot because I was freaking out thinking "this guy is a freak, he's insane"). His paper was like attacking Bush and had all this crap about conspiracies and lies, and we should all kill Bush, blah, blah, blah....okay he didnt say that last part, but still...it was wierd. So I'm thinking, man, this guy is gonna tear my paper apart, and its just my luck that the one time I write anything semi-political, this dude that is politic-crazy is critic (how do you spell critic-ing? I dont wanna use criticizing...well, now even that looks wierd...I think I've gone stupid) anyway, he ended up smiling and starts ratteling off to me, about why he liked it, and how he hates Bush too (I have no idea HOW he got that from my paper, cause I dont mention the names of any politicians or talk about the election at all--simply the youth of America and voting) and then I was almost more scared, cause now this guy thinks I'm his Bush-Buddy or something, and was like walking with me after class, still talking, and kinda hyper, which is completely different from what I had known him before. Oh well, that's what I get for being nice to the guy, at least now he can think he has at least one friend (I know I'm mean, but this guy was crazy) So thats my story for today. (now all of you are going to run to your answering machines and see if I was talking about you) (or you just read this ^^^ set of parenthesis are confused....remember at the beginning I was talking about someone with a message who should get the title of the post? Silly people...drugs aren't for rabbits )

OH MY GOD!!
9/21/2004 03:56:00 PM Get ready to pick your jaw up off the floor... I just saw a commercial for Trivial Pursuit, the 90's edition!!!!!!!! I am too exited to type anything else... Sunday, September 19, 2004
I have a new obsession....sorry Mrazille Fizlle...
9/19/2004 05:03:00 PM Hey guess what? I just wanted to mention that I saw Maura Tierney this morning. Not in person, sorry, but on Celebrity Poker. The dude that plays her brother on ER was on too, as was Andy Ricter, and some other losers that I forgot....but I also saw that next week Matthew Perry is gonna be on...just F.Y.I. I want to come home. It will be better than actually having my computer fixed...dont you agree? I think I may go annoy Will now, untill he decides a definite date that we will go. But I think this time he is gonna drive, so that means, he has to drop me off in Lincoln and someone has to come get me.....what do you think? Road Trip? The quest for steph? Eh....I dont know if my mommy even knows I may come back yet. I talked to her 2wice this weekend, but it may have slipped my mind. Oh well, maybe subconsciously I didnt want her to get her hopes up, and start making plans...she will be mad at me if I spend more time with you guys than her and Marc. So what, they have a new puppy. Did you know that? Yes, they have a new puppy and his name is Moe, and he has a small line of fur resembling a mohawk--wow, strange coincidence huh! Unless of course the mohawk was first causing the name to be derived from it. I think my roomate may be pleased that I may finally stop playing my Jason Mraz cd (or dvd, whichever at the moment)--although I think I converted her, I noticed her downloading "Curbside Prophet" the other day--Lately I've been playing a few songs I have by Trading Yesterday, who have an album coming out in early 2005. They kinda have a Switchfoot vibe (which I thought would be my new obsession to fill the time untill the new Clarkson LP drops) but I kinda like these guys a bit more. Maybe I can listen to Ryan Cabrerra untill November 30th (crap, too many options, DC, Eminem, and Kelly all have new stuff)then pick one of those, then do Trading Yesterday whenver that comes out---note that, If I still had my computer, I would probably be listening to Nelly's new stuff...okay, just the one song with Tim McGraw...over and over again (haha, thats like the title, and the part Tim McGraw sings, "over and over again" and he sings it over and over, and over again. Dang....now I miss that song....Is it so wrong to love the combination of Hip-Hop and Country? C'mon, y'all know that the 2 main styles of the Dirty South would've forged a union eventually. By the way, I'd like to thank those who replied to my "blind/deaf" predicament....you didnt help me at all with my decision, but its nice to know you care :)

Saturday
9/18/2004 02:34:00 PM So after the clock struck (or beeped, or blinked)1:00 am, we took off for Snucks. There were 6 of us so fitting in Ruth's car was fun. We made some kinda mean comments about being packed in like Mexicans, so Ivan felt at home. And Jonathan had to sit on my lap kinda. Which is very strange if you know Jon (which none of you do, so I'll explain.) He's a 7 foot tree. Or a pole, whichever you prefer. He also has wild hair, which had nothing to do with him sitting on my lap, but it just helps for the mental image..(he's also very protective of his hair, he doesn't let anyone touch it...just his rabbits foot around his neck) *Side note, he also appears to have that John Nuxoll look going on, but he cant help that they dont make cool plaid pants for giants like himself. Anyways, we stocked up on groceries, came home, and ate Lucky Charms in Sam's room (1-cause its really nifty, and 2-cause her roomate was gone for the weekend, and none of us wanted to disturb ours, and 3-okay, Ivan and Jon were both awake, but we didnt want to use their room cause their messy boys) I think we ate 2 boxes...it was sad...but very satisfying. So we watched this movie "Strange Brew" (I swear someone was telling me about this movie, and it may have been Holly or Charlie, if not, then maybe I heard it from someone else...or I'm just crazy --which is a likely possiblity) and it was funny, but very stupid. It was a make of Hamlet (think Scotland PA with MacBeth) but with Canadians and lots of beer involved. Then after that was over, and we were still awake and eating Lucky Charms, we watched Bio-Dome (another funny, very stupid movie). Oh yeah, during the first Hamlet Canadian Knock Off one, there was an intermission, so we all had our blankets and pillows now, so we were gonna just have a sleep over, but (even with our nice size dorms) I have to admit it woulda been kinda crowded...I kept kicking Ruth and Ivan, and somehow even Zane, who wasnt even near me. And Jon's parents were coming for a visit, so he wanted to be able to wake up. So at 5:30 am, we all dispersed back to our own rooms. All the clubbers had just gotten back briefly before, and my suitemate Emily didnt have her keys so she just walked through our room and scared the shit out of Mica, cause she was half sleeping, and thought it was two of me. And then at 9:00 am, the fire alarm goes off, which really sucked, cause I was tired, and we find out that it was an accident/faulty thing,not a drill, so you think the first thing they'd try to do would be to shut of the alarm right? Apparently the great gods of the alarm controlling didn't agree. It was on for like half an hour. So since the few of us who hadn't really slept yet, where now widely (eh, okay, half) awake, we decided to make everyone breakfast. Okay, Sam made breakfast while the rest of us, sat around talking with our wannabe Canadian accents. It was fun. We made biscuits (how do you spell biskits?) and gravy, but I hate biscuits and gravy so I just ate biscuits, but luckily some of our other floor mates came to join us in the kitchen and someone brought jelly (or jam, whatever) and it was nice. Then, the alarm stopped, and we (some) went back to bed. I stayed up and got to watch part of my first Nebraska game this year. Wooo! Now, I'm typing to you from the lab (I kinda snuck in, I dont think this one was supposed to be open, cause all the others are closed, but oh well). I think I might go shopping for earplugs later though. For my next Psych paper, we have to do an experiment on ourselves of sorts. We have to decide to either be blind, or deaf, for 17 hours, and write a paper on it. At first I thought, okay, I would be deaf cause at least I could walk around. Then I thought, wait, I cant go a whole 17 hours without any music! Plus, being blind would be a really good experience to go through I think. Then I thought, I could hear stuff, but I wouldnt be able to use the computer or anything...plus, I dont think I would trust Ruth or Katie to guide me places, I think one of them would push me down the stairs, or stick me in the elvator, with no way to know what buttons I'm pushing or what level I'd get off on. So I'm kinda torn. I think if I couldnt hear anything than my own thoughts though, I would seriously drive myself insane. Maybe that's why I always have something else going on around me, to distract myself. Anyways, I would appreciate some feedback on this, and see which you guys would choose and why...so leave a comment if you wish. Or email me, whatever turns your crank.

Its almost time for Snucks
9/18/2004 01:02:00 AM Which is actually pronounced "Schnooks" fyi... So we now moved from the hallway into Zanes room, for what reason I have no idea. But he had cards, so now everyone is playing poker *not for money of course. But its getting kinda interesting, because eventually everyone ran out of rubberbands and bottle caps to bet, so now people are betting other peoples stuff. Like the use of Will's big toe...yeah, Rachel bet the use of my car, and Ivan won it, and Ruth bet me, and lost me to Sam (short for Samantha, yes she's a girl) So its definitely not your average game of poker. I think someone won Zane's knee too....and Elizabeth our RA (I think she'll be interested to find that out, when she gets back) everyone has randomly been betting Tommy's stuff (since he's Zane's roomate) oh well, thats what he gets for going clubbing. Ivan even won "Loretto Hall" so he owns lots of people now (but I think the rule is everyone gets everything back in the end--so we cant keep them all forever)People even bet the "collection plate" which is the frisbee that was being used to collect the items. But now its pretty much useless, since everything is "nothingness"....but I came back in to go to the restroom, and Mica still isnt here, so I thought I'd get in an update when I can.....

For the love of lobsters!
9/17/2004 10:35:00 PM Okay, So my roomate is gone with her boyfriend, so I am on her Mac again...this is torture. But anyways, yesterday night my floor went bowling, no wait, that was Wednesday. Man, time passess way to fast without a computer. I'm so lost. Okay, so Wednesday night we went bowling (we as in a bunch of people from my floor). It was fun. I sucked really bad, so that was good. I still beat Ivan though (once) even though it was his first time. Now he's obsessed. Everytime someone mentions, an upcoming birthday he's like, "hey, wanna go bowling for your birthday", or if they say like "I'm bored" haha. He's insane. I guess that's what you get for growing up in LA. Sometimes he just rattles off in spanish, and its kinda neat cause I sometimes understand him. But everyone keeps asking him if he's selling any oranges....I guess thats some way of picking on him, like a bad racial joke, but I didn't get it at first.... OMG!!! They just said the music of Jason Mraz. I'm watching Ellen, and at night, cause they rerun it on Oxygen for those who miss it in the morning. I so have to watch Mrazzy Fizzle on here. I'm starting to getting addicted to Ellen. HAHA!! Carly Patterson (and the US Gymastics team) just came out and they played the music, "I'll tumble for ya" I think by Boy George. That made me laugh. I watched it yesterday, and Matt Leblanc was on and it he was great. And Nelly was the musical guest, and Ellen I guess loves him (she came out dancing to Hot in Herrre in the opening, and later kept saying things like, I bet it was warm in derrre--it was funny) And I love Nelly too, so I was excited, and he performed his single, and then at the end of the show, just cause Nelly knows how much Ellen loves him, he sang the show out with Hot in Here, and let Ellen do it with him, it was so awesome. So I love them both now. (and of course that Nelly song with Tim McGraw---im so sad I cant listen to it now...I never had the chance to put it on a disc before my computer died) Heehee, now Carly is making Ellen do tricks on the beam...she's wearing a helmet....Carly said she doesnt want her to try this next one cause she doesnt want her to get hurt, but Ellen was trying to pick a fight, and said, "You dont know what I can do" I remember we used to watch the Ellen Show (the sitcom) when it was on (it was part of our "family night") and I was actually quite sad when they cancelled it because she came out. It was a funny show, and now I'm remembering how much I liked Ellen. Anyway, speaking of bowling, guess what I found out? My mom is in the bowling league now!!!! She's on Linsay (P) and Mrs. Bejots team...isnt that funny? Johnny will have to give her crap for me. He will do a good job of that. Earlier today, a bunch of us were really bored, cause its a Friday night, and none of us wanted to go to the club (a few people from our floor were going with our RA, cause its 18 and up night) but yeah....so we were just sitting in the hallway, and Will got a package from his mommy (from NE) and it had those little things were you like blow bubbles but they seal, and dont pop, and you hit them around like balloons. But it was awesome. Zane found out that they stick to the ceiling. Then he found out that he is not long enough to stick sideways between the walls. It was hilarious. Jonathan could do it, and Ivan took a picture, so Zane got jealous (cause he's a camera whore) and decided to try. But since we're all really bored, we decided that we are going to go to "Snuck's" (a grocery store--its insane their everywhere here, there are almost as many Snucks as Steak and Shakes--which I did finally go too, and they have really good shakes, but bad fries) anyways, now the Snucks are 24 hrs, so we decided we need to go at 1:00 am just to make sure they really are. And because we're really bored. So we may do that later, or just sit in the hallway some more. Zane and Jonathan are playing frisbee there now, so I ducked inside. Hall Sports are dangerous (also illegal here, but that's apparently not a priority for them) Ruth is in her room making me into a Sims character...I think she's gonna have me marry someone weird, so collectively this reminds me of Holly and Charley. I might go back to the hallway after Ellen. But I have to see Mrazy first. And Will is really bored and is whining that he wants to go to Snucks now. Ooh!! Guess what!! He's also been kinda wanting to go home sometime before Fall Break, so we just decided that we're going to. YAY!! He doesnt know when he wants to go, but we will, and then the other person can drive next time on Fall Break. So as soon as I find out what weekend he wants to go, I'll let ya'll know. I'm excited now. Also, I completely forgot to tell you this Maggie! I saw Jennifer Garner on the TV Guide channel and she was doing her life in 60 secs, and she starts babbling about trying to be as good as her uber cool sisters, and how she wasnt, but she loved band, and how she went to college, thought she was gonna be a doctor, took theater for fun, and went on a few auditions, and has been living in LA for 7 years now and has been pretty successful so she's happy. Then after like a 5 sec pause, she adds suddenly. I have a dog. Her name is Martha Stewart. And it was really funny cause she had the biggest dorkiest smile on her face, like a 4 yr old who just did something she thinks her parents would be really proud of. It was cute. Crap! Mraz is on Monday, not today.... Oh looky, Brad Garrett. Thursday, September 16, 2004
Okay this is for all the people who thought I died....
9/16/2004 04:09:00 PM I did not...and I seem to be breathing as of the moment, so that's good news. I am terribly sorry I've been gone for a while, if you talk to Maggie or Kayla they will tell you whats up. I have not been too busy for you all (still as busy as I have been) but its just harder to find time when there's no computer right next to your bed anymore. (Again for details, ask one of the afore mentioned, or my mom, but basically what it narrows down to is that I no longer have that convenience) And if you're reading this right now and (like Mrs. Bond) thinking, "Did she lose her priveleges again?" the answer is no. But the details of the story will work themselves out later. I'm borrowing my roomates computer right now (Which is a Mac--If you know how much I hate Macs then this should be an example of how much I love you all) to give you guys this heads up. I dont have time to type much today, just basically apologize for the downtime that you've been experiencing, and may continue to do so, for a while. But I promise I will try to find time tommorrow, to get into a lab (Windows lab, mind you) and give you some scoop. But my 2 mins, I had are already used up. Sorry. Gotta Go. Today is just jampacked, I'll explain more later....' Sunday, September 12, 2004
Am I like the ONLY child who does not like crayons?
9/12/2004 06:22:00 PM ^Is that question void since I am no longer legally considered a child? Current Mood: Fed Up Current Music: Seal - Kissed By A Rose Do you guys know that song is really about a sailor and a lighthouse? Wierd. But I was getting frustrated with my coloring book (Hey, dont laugh, it's for an assignment) and decided I needed to listen to some soothing music. What's better for that than some Seal? Maybe Coldplay, or Sarah McLaughlin...but I have them lined up as well, so it's all good...See I'm on top of things. Exept for the love of crayons apparently. People in my class were excited that they got to use crayons, since many haven't forever. I, however, was not so thrilled. I hate feeling in your hands you get from the friction of the crayons on the texture of the coloring book paper. You can feel it grating, and I hate it. It's the same with why I dont like writing with non-mechanical pencils. It's like hearing fingernails screech down a chalk-board (although who has those anymore) or hearing teeth grinding...but you feel it instead. Does anyone else experience this? If so, please share. It's one more thing I can add to the list for pleading my sanity.

Something Needs to Be Done
9/11/2004 05:20:00 PM Okay, I've decided that someone needs to be responsible for alerting Steph of what time the Husker games are gonna be on. I dont ever hear this stuff up here, so then I miss it, and that sucks. I nominate Reid. He would remember that I think. No offense to you others, but c'mon...he's a boy. So I got my Psych paper back the other day, and I got a 9 out of 10 points. I was very surprised, especially since I spelled my professors name wrong on the cover sheet. Heehee, woops. (My mom wrote Halsizer once on a piece of paper, and it stuck with me...or maybe she did write Hulsizer, and I read it wrong...) I also got my poem back... 86% wasnt to thrilled with that, but I suppose it's okay for not really following the assignment. We were supposed to write a poem like an imitation of one we read...I took that as write something similar, that "feels" similar when you read it, but that is a different poem. Apparently we were supposed to "parody" the poem (I wish she would've used that word) and write one practically identical. Same amount of syllables in each line, same punctuation, and structure, etc. Basically just substitute a few words/synonyms here and there. Which I didn't do. But I wrote my poem in the same style as his, so I guess I got points for that. Which I have to appreciate. I'll just have to ask for clarification next time she asks us to write an "imitation". I would've assumed that what she wanted us to do was pretty much plagerism...and she said it kinda was, but that it was okay, cause she assigned us to do it. Anyways, I wish I had my books from English with me. Especially when my teacher talks about grammar, which she doesn't know much about. Yesterday she couldn't figure out how to spell "appositive" correctly. And I think she was giving us some wrong information about Subordinate Clauses. I didn't say anything, but I knew exactly where to find it in my English book...which I dont have, so that doesn't help much. Hey! If Mrs. Bond gets my blog address, I think I should get her e-mail address, so I could ask about these things if I need to. Again, no offense to you others, but...c'mon...she's Mrs. Bond.... I'm running out of things to type, and getting hungry, so I'm gonna go eat now. Thursday, September 09, 2004
A little birdie told me...
9/09/2004 08:10:00 PM Current Mood: Happy Current Music: "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" Anyway, I fixed my computer, and Maggie told me that Mrs. Bond may be dropping by soon. "Hi Mrs. Bond!!" I miss Mrs. Bond, and Seminar...not the Lord of the Flies though (actually, maybe a little ;) I'm suddenly very self consious of how I've been typing in these posts...I dont think I follow any grammar rules at all. But I did have to use semi-colons mutliple times (correctly) in a paper the other day. I've had to write 6 already. Well, four actually, plus a speech and one poem. But still, I'm not allowed to slack off as much as Kayla :) That's all for now though... -Steph
Okay...after all I am my mother's daughter
9/09/2004 07:42:00 PM I've decided to end today on a positive note. Although the rest of the day was extrememly hectic and frustrating, my 3 1/2 hours in Mass Communications, with my crazy teacher that I like, was really fun. This is only the 2nd class I've had, cause she's been gone on vacation to London for a while, so we just haven't had class. Anyways, today she brought us some miniature chocolates from the mother-land, in these big tubes. So people were passing them around, and suddenly she's like, "WHOA!! With everyone passing those around looking down into them , they totally look like bongs!" And we all laughed. Then later someone's phone rang (playing wierd fairy music), and she stopped mid-sentence and started dancing around, and was like, "Hey, it's bong music" It was fun. She's insane. But today we got to watch, "Wag the Dog" with Bob Deniro. I love him.
Today Was The Best Day EVER!!!!
9/09/2004 05:59:00 PM And I mean that in every ounce of sarcasm I have in me. (which some of you know is ALOT) So this morning I woke up late. Not a big deal. I guess my alarm clock fell on the floor in the middle of the night, and now only gives me 2 digits. Like right now its 5: 9 But like I really needed to do laundry this morning, I only needed nice clothes for my speech in one of my classes. So I had 3 papers that I needed to print to hand in today. So I e-mail them to myself, so I can go over to the lab early and print them. On my way I stopped to set up my video, and make sure everything worked before class, and just leave it ready and go first (for my speech). I did this yesterday, to make sure I knew how to run the equipment. But for some reason today, it won't let me use the full screen. So eventually I gave up and restarted the computer, knowing it wouldn't help (and I said this to some class mates who were there half and hour early) but it did. So I was like, Yay! But then Cory wanted to use the computer to make sure his worked. And I yelled and said that no one could touch it. So I go downstairs to the lab, to print off my speech on my notecards, my official copy with work cited to hand in, my revised paper from last week--for extra credit, and my Mary Poppins paper for my Mass Communications class. Well, none of my attatchements open. I started freaking out more. Eventually somehow my official copy of my speech with work cited, decided to open so I printed that, since it was the one that I most needed, and ran back up for class. Unfortunately because my notecards wouldn't print, I had to stand up there like an idiot with my 4 page paper (which is really only like a 8 min, speech (requirement 5)and proceed to fumble and be nervous after all that has gone wrong today. My video works though. So I tell my teacher that I couldnt print my draft, and ask him I can bring it to him right after. And he says, sure, as long as it gets to me before 4:30 Then after class, I run back to the lab to print my Mary Poppins crap, which works, and rush to class (that starts right after my previous, so I had no time to get back to my other teacher), and I remember that this class, doesn't get over untill 4:20...so I would have to haul to fix my other paper, and get it in on time. Plus I had to pick up some stuff for work at 4:15, and be at work at 4:30. So after class, I run, and run, get my paper in on time, get to the place to pick up the sandwhiches and stuff that were supposed to be ordered, can't find them, make some phone calls, the order DID get made, so they get me the stuff I need, and I rush off to work. I get to work and upon trying to unlock the cooler (where we lock the cash box) I find that apparently last night, I put the lock on backwards....so I try to unlock it...impossible, the key gets stuck, and is now bent. So I go back to my dorm to call my boss, he's not there, so I try to leave a voice-mail but his inbox is full, and it wont let me. So I wander around the University Center looking for him. Find him, talk to him, he tells me to go to Public Safety and get someone to break the lock, and pick up a loaner from the fitness center. So I do that, go to Public Safety...maintenance is off for the day, but they tell me to go to the Pool Center, and they have a bolt cutter. SO I do that. And borrow it. I go back to the snack stand (by the way everywhere I've been running around on campus are all like 3 blocks apart from each other)So I'm walking down the street with giant bolt cutters in my hand. And I see like 8 of those freaky squirrels and they're taunting me with their big mouse ears, and their weird tails,so I was tempted to just cut off their stupid dog-tails with my bolt-cutters. Then they would look like Stubs (remember him? One of my fondest memories from Golf...I miss Stubby) Anyway, I can't cut the lock off of the cooler, becuase it's a very unique lock, and the one I have would only work if I had a chain, to hold the door closed. So I walk back to my dorm, and up all those fricken stairs for the 40th time in half an hour and walk towards my room yelling, "DOES ANYONE HAVE A CHAIN!!!" Practically no one is home, but Abby pokes her head out, see's me with my giant bolt-cutters and freaks out (haha--the one positive thing--and growin up with my mom, its impossible to not find something positive-- about the whole day was this) So now, I am sitting at my computer typing this, while I wait for a chain to magically appear, and my computer just freaked out, and now everything is huge. I have no idea what the hell happened, but I just spent the last 40 mins, trying to fix it. It's not the display size or the Internet font size..I tried restarting, and everything imagineable, and so just when I thought it was over, the day keeps getting "better"....this really sucks.

This may sound odd but...
9/08/2004 03:35:00 PM I think Ruth is my lobster. She was yelling at me and Ivan for going to Sonic without her (which we really didn't...but we tried. It was closed. And you know that if I couldn't have an orange-cream slush, then I wanted a Jamocha shake, so we went to Arby's. It was closed to. So we ended up at Hardees. What the hell kinda Sonic's and Arby's close at 10:00!?) Anyway,so she was yelling at me, so I told her we would go sometime this week. And I asked, "Have you ever had the orange-cream slushes" right as she said, "Good, cause I'm going through an orange-cream slush withdrawl" Isn't that awesome!? Tuesday, September 07, 2004
Nuns in Wal-Mart?
9/07/2004 03:27:00 PM So I just had to run to Wally World (and Target, and everyother store imagineable that I could find) to get a "Dvd-Ram" recordable disc, because that's the only kind that my computer will burn. (I need to burn a video to it, that I'm presenting in my Bruce class, as part of my speech-thing) Do you realize how frickin' hard it is to find, not a DVD-R, but a DVD-RAM?! And when you do, you can't get them individually...you have to buy them in packs of 3 or larger. That would've been fine for me, if they weren't so ridiculously overpriced. A pack of 3 cost $20! Okay, it was like $18 and some cents, but still. I could get like 10 DVD-R's for that price. AND I ONLY WANTED ONE!!!!!! I know the theirs lots of trees here with freak-ish squirrels running around in them, but there's no money sproutin from the branches! I'm cheap. But I needed them for the assignment, so I was resigned to fork out the money. But I cheered up slightly upon leaving the Wal-Mart, when I saw a nun (in all white robes, complete with the habit) sitting in the food court.
I would last 2 minutes in an Earthquake...
9/07/2004 01:30:00 PM Okay, So Today, (I have no idea why I capitalized,Today--see I did it again) I had my Bruce class. Which was interesting, and not only for the fact that our teacher refered to him as "Brucie". But we played a version of Family Fued, in relation to good presentation skills, and my team won. (We had the most creative name--we were split in half as a classroom and our team chose the name "Left" it was awesome that's why we won) Then we had this exercise, where we all read parts, in this little earhquake skit, and then after we had to get in groups, and decide/rank (from a list of given options) what we would do first. Our team said, light the candles and then check for injuries. Yeah, we would've been dead like right then. Light the candles was the last option....cause in the "play/story" someone mentioned they thought they smelled gas..aparently we forgot about that. Yeah, then we had "bang on the pipes to alert rescuers of you location" before we actually listed, "shut of utilities" so if we didn't die at first, we probably would have then. Lmao! It was really fun though. And guess what Holly, I befriended another red-head who shares my love for Jason Mraz :) You would approve.

C'Mon Get Happy!
9/05/2004 10:46:00 PM Okay, now I'm laughing at the search for the new Partridge Family... this kid was talking to Danny Bonaduche (his idol) and Danny tells him good luck, pats him on the back, and the kid turns around to leave and falls down the stairs, hahaha! That was better than the slapping...Ivan's right, I do have a sadistic sense of humor.
The Secret Valor of Chickens
9/05/2004 09:26:00 PM So the subject has nothing to do with this post, but I thought it had a nice ring to it, and had to use it before I forgot. Right Now I'm laughing my ass off at the new Surreal Life!! I love it!!! Charro is freakin crazy...Jordan Knight is weird (if you have peoplephobia why live in a house with 6 of them)Flava Flave is hilarious...Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey from Full House) rocks my bubble...Ryan Starr isn't so bad after all........and Brigett (blonde german from Rocky, and Cobra).....is naked?........ just to cheer myself back up after that last thought: 
I love Damien :) I also am taking a better liking to Bill Clinton (but not in the way Ruth loves him ;), I just remembered he had Maya Angelou read one of her own poems at his inauguration. Only the 2nd time thats been done --Kennedy had Robert Frost) Saturday, September 04, 2004
I hate the 2 year anniversary now....
9/04/2004 06:18:00 PM Okay, so something I thought would be cool about this weekend is that my roomate and both suitemates went home for the weekend, and I thought, Cool, I can play music as loud as I want, if I were to feel like playing loud music. Not so cool factor: If you lock yourself out of the room. And your roomate and suitemates are both gone home for the weekend. I believe you only get 3 times of locking yourself out and having an RA get you in, then its $20. And so I had no other choice but to get the RA. Problem is, my RA was gone this weekend too, visiting her brother... So I called Libby (the cool RA from 4th floor Loretto) but she wasnt home, and all the other RA's were gone..... But Ruth said I could sleep in her room if I want, cause her roomates gone too...and we would just never tell Rachel, lol. So I wandered in the hallway...then I heard jingling keys, and thought I had died and gone to heaven. It was Libby!!! She had gotten my message and come to save me. But then her keys wouldnt open my door. So she opened my suitemates room, and I snuck through the bathroom...yay! I love Libby now. She's my idol.
Part Once
9/04/2004 12:13:00 AM (just cause I dont know what comes before, Part Deux) Current Mood: dirtier Current Music: "She Will Be Loved" Maroon 5 (acoustic version) So I went to Wal-Mart today, and I swore I saw Capri's mom....which is unlikely cause we'd probably be the only two white girls in the Kirkwood Wal-Mart. Oh yeah, and she lives in Nebraska. So I had to pick up some envelopes and lense cleaner, but like always I had to browse the cd/dvd section...and let me tell you, I about had a heart attack....the new Conan 10th Anniversary DvD came out, and it has the 10th anniversary special with lots of other great Conan moments, and it took all of the self-restraint I had to not pick it up. (Okay, so I picked it up and held it, but I couldn't let myself buy it...or the 2 magazines with Brittany Murphy on the cover) Since I was so proud of myself, for exhibiting good college saving etiquette, I decided to treat myself with an Orange Cream Slush from Sonic on the way home. It was good. Go to Sonic and try the Ocean Water...its good, and so not what you expect. I have to say the name is a little decieving. Friday, September 03, 2004
I despise Philip Zimbardo
9/03/2004 11:57:00 AM Current Mood: dirty Current Music: "Car Wash" Christina Aguilera ft. Missy Elliot The squirrels here freak me out... They dont have bushy tails at all. The have just like normal skinny tails. Like a dog's tail, but on a squirrel. That freaks you out too now, doesnt it, after I made you picture that mental image? See. So some of you know how my shower suddenly started pouring water from the ceiling. Well, supposedly maintanence came and fixed it. But then there was a huge hole in our ceiling, but no waterfall thankfully. I guess the floor above us had a leak. But yesterday, the floor below us was flooding. And it happened to be the room below ours. So we were told not to shower untill this morning at 8:30, so since I didn't have time to shower before class, I was looking forward to it when I got home. But apparently my roomate showered this morning and found out its still broke. So she got yelled at, and found out we cant use it untill we get a phone call now......and I'm still dirty. So today in Writing we talked about rising action. (how hard was it to not rip my arm off and throw it at the people writing that crap down) But it's okay, because it was in relation to Maya Angelou, who I'm in love with now. Of course I've always known who she was, like in terms, of great writer, poet etc., but I thought she was dead untill I saw her on Letterman recently, and I was like, Hey, she's not that old....and she's kinda spunky. Anyway, I never really gave it much more thought after that, but we've been reading some stuff from one of her autobiographies, and I love her. So does Oprah. You should too. And now in Psychology we're actually doing Biology. And you all know how I hate science without "Pandy", so that sucks. And just to make matters worse, apparently Philip Zimbardo is also an expert on parts of the brain and science relating to Psychology, so that means I had to watch another dreadful tape with him today. He's starting to sound more womanly every time I hear him. Today it was almost mouse-like. I did forget how much I love the intro to his tapes though with the people in the bubble, especially the baby (remember that Kayla?) I hope Charley has Psychology so she can have the change to enjoy that experience with Mrs. Gregory. The boy in the bubble is the best. But anyways, my Psych teacher says, "and so on and so forth" alot, along with "and what have you", but I'm thinking I'll get over it. After all he gave us coloring books today :) (I feel bad if he really thinks that'll help me learn the parts of the brain...are you kidding me, put a coloring book in my hands, and your just asking to distract me for hours) And I with pleasure turned my Psych paper in today, only to recieve another assignment, to do along with 3 others from other classes for next week. TGIF! (I miss Salem the wise cracking cat) Wednesday, September 01, 2004
I Be Bloggin'
9/01/2004 10:54:00 PM Hey, so.... I'm really bored....but I feel like typing...and since I would feel bad sending you all an e-mail about complete nothing, I get to do it here!!! YAY!!! So where to begin? This is the most unimportant entry ever! That's a good start. Current mood: pleasehelpmekthx Current music: Jay Z - 'Big Pimpin' I think I like starting out posts like that. Um. I have nothing to update about. But I really really want to make one of those gigantic updates that everyone may possibly enjoy. Most likey you wont, but I like to think that I bring a speck of sunshine to all your lives every once in a while with my ridiculous e-mails. And now I can do so here, with my blog. Thats a weird word, blog....blog..blog-blog....frog...sorry Charley if your reading...Charley is deathly afraid of frogs...heehee. Right about now I'm jealous of the talented journalers who can type about their lives, and its so interesting. Interesting? Yes, I can see how some people's lives are interesting. I don't know about mine. Um........ Is 'um' really a word? It could be. If it isn't, I'm going to sue Webster (the dictionary, not the college) Well not really. D'oh made the dictionary, so why shouldn't 'um.' I think I'm going to cry now. And it's all because of Webster. What the frick? It's August....no wait...its now September....the first...actually by the time I'm done writing this, it may be the 2nd. And I'm wearing sweats. And a hooded sweatshirt. I feel odd. I am odd. Okay, this is getting pretty interesting. I wonder how much longer I can write before I helplessly give up. Isnt boredom what I'm supposed to be escaping by doing this. I'm not tired though, so I cant go to sleep. And Conan's not on yet, so I cant sit and stare at him, and wonder where people like him come from (maybe I'm from the same place?) I was watching tv today and you know what comes on? Ghostbusters! If there's something strange, in the neighborhood, you you gonna call...Ghostbusters! Ahaha, that has got to be one of the greatest shows of all time. Well, other than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. For some reason I always associate those two. Is it weird that I used to watch those cartoons all the time when I was little....instead of girly things, or Fraggle Rock..(seriously, what the hell is that? Never seen it) Sometimes I wish that I could run away with Julie Andrews to the mysterious land of Canada. We could skip around, and sing songs like 'The Sound of Music,' and eat snow cones in the snow. And the best part is that we'd be able to clone Tamyra from any DNA that may be still left on my cd cover that she signed, and take Tamyra2 with us. Yes, I do have her autographed cd jacket that she actually touched. You guys all should be extremely jealous. No you can not sniff it. Oh, I'd clone Justin Timberlake too.........what? I wonder if anyone's actually reading this. If you are, you must be pretty bored. Eheheh, or maybe you're just stalking me. Or wanting to know what I'm thinking of. But wait, isn't that what journals are for? I think I'm breaking a rule by not staying on subject. I still kinda dont really know what a blog is, so how am I supposed to know what rules I'm supposed to follow. Do you think they'll kick me out for typing that I dont know what a blog is, in my blog? Um...I've decided that everyone needs fruit cups. What's life without fruit cups? It's like having a taco minus the beef. Oh! I am your beef in your taco. Admit it. Badadabum, bum, bum, ba da bum, ba da da badda baddah buh....I wish I could get away with singing random gibberish crap like Jason Mraz....I can't scat.....but then neither could Scat Girl, and she's still Scat Girl......(if you dont get this, then you are lucky enough, to have not gotten sucked into the never-ending black whole that is American Idol) I had to take my movie/disney songs away from myself. I was starting to get worried, when I heard Tommy (designer/Texas guy) singing (in a really annoying voice) some Kelly Osbourne song, with all his heart and soul. And I wondered to myself, Is this what will happen to me, if I let myself fill my life with really stupid worthless songs? I will worship the next Kelly Osbourne? (I know...even worse than those from Idol---someone who cant even sing) I'm supposed to be reading Psychology right now.....but I dont have class tommorrow all day cause my teacher is gonna be gone.....so I keep telling myself, I'll do it then....I think Maggie's mom got me addicted to dots....... K, in my Psych book, it asks all these stupid questions like, "To what extent is one's personality predisposed by one's genes? To what extent by the home and neighborhood environment?" And I dont like those...so I'm gonna answer my own.... ;) "Why do olives come in black AND green?"--Well they couldn't be PURPLE! That'd just confuse the grapes. "Why do they call them "ex" girlfriends?"--What were they suppose to call them? 'Z' girlfriends? Psh. "Why do people call you green when they mean jealous?"--What, who does that? Was the voting on American Idol rigged?"--No comment *cough* Tamyra *cough* ratings....woo, think I may be coming down with somethin'....My body must still be adjusting to the St.Louis (I mean Land of the Bubbles) atmosphere....cause I'm a rocket ma-aaaaan, Rocket man, burning out....wait---that's Elton John. Sorry. "Why can't you pretend you don't love someone when you really do?"--That's a really good question. Ask Mrs Cleo. "Why does your hair always mess up on first dates?"--Ahahah because you do stuff. ;) Maggie get your mind outta da gutter! speaking of Maggie...here's one "Why Backstreet Boys?"-- Well the Backstreet boys were a really great bad. (and right now your wondering if that's a typo.....) I have to kinda respect them because when I was little, I'd rock out to teeellllll me whyyyy aint nothing but a heartache. Wait, that wasn't too long ago. Oops. And the name is unique. That's why. "If parents really want what's best for you, why do they tell you to go to college?"--Um...because college is the best for you. "In what ways, are we (races/cultures/gender) alike as members of the human family? In what ways do we differ?"--Hey that's TWO questions...and thats also from my psychology book, so I'm not gonna answer. Is anyone still reading at this point? If you are I applaud you....or I give you a strange look, and back away..... I'm very proud of myself right now. Lets hope I won't get carpel tunnel..... I think I'm going to name a bench after me. Hmm.. yes I think I am! Today, while waiting outside a class I sat on Mr and Mrs Peterson. That'd be awesome if I could sit on me. No wait...that doesn't sound right. Let me rephrase that. "That'd be awesome if I could sit on my self-named bench." But ew, what if someone was thinking "Ooh baby, I'm sitting on StephGway." Those are very bad images. I think I just disturbed myself. Don't sit on me! Psh, I can always put 'SKG,' and nothing more to it. So then people would say, "Oh how nice, I'm sitting on SKG." but it wouldn't exactly mean it was me. Maybe they would think it was "SKG" from like the Dreamworks company...you know you've noticed it...in the Dreamworks official, thingy-bob in previews, or before a movie, theres a line at the bottom that is inturrupted by --------SKG---------. I know you've all seen it and thought it was me....okay, well I like to pretend. That in fact is why I'm trying to go into the movie biz. So I can go take over that SKG, and be the only one...then it'll mean me, SKG. Eh... I am so sleep deprived right now. And I'm sad to the max. Why? Because no one's awake when I'm awake and I'm getting carpel tunnel because I want to fulfill my dream of a really really ridiculously long post about nothing. Who knows, maybe there'll be a journal award show that'll grant me a prize for updating about nothing. Plus...Maggie ruined all the Alec Trebek fun we were having with Jody.....party pooper........and now that reminded me that I was originally getting off the 'puter like an hour ago....so you just officially pooped my party once again....thanks alot Mags........ Now I'm done. I'm not sure yet, cause I haven't looked at it, but this could possibly be an extremely long blog post.....probably the longest you will ever get...I dont think I could do this again....but then again, who knows when Maggie'll just bust in and poop your party, and then you'll feel like you have to do something else, like write a hugantic, mahussive, post for your blog......oh well, at least my blog page isn't so empty now... This is StephGway siging off--- You Stay Classy Blog World!!!! (you can't tell, but I really wanted to type, Blog Bubble, there ^^^)
YAY! I have a BLOG!!!!
9/01/2004 01:49:00 PM What the hell is a blog? I have no idea....but I intend to find out. And when I do, I will use it properly. Oh, cmon, you know me. I'll just use it for whatever I want to, and do things the Steph-way. So it doesnt matter what a blog is, because I am inventing a new kind, and its a ... slog? No that doesn't sound right. Okay, it's blog, but it will be Steph-ized, like a custom blog, made to fit Steph like a glove. In particular those cashmere ones, like in Serendipity...which I have yet to visit with my free coupon....... |
