Bleh.

Yesterday made it 23 months.

23. Months.

For you bibliophiles, that's one month less than 2 years.

Two.

And must I further accentuate the YEARS? Plural.

I checked my grades and I have an Incomplete in one of my classes. Incompletes usually only occur upon a prearrangement with the professor because you're missing an assignment or you missed the exam.

I missed nothing. I was expecting a B or B+.

My professor has not returned my calls or my emails. I'm about to get desperate and call her at home.

Grr.

I love you all.

P.S. Kelly, I don't know if you saw it below but happy day of you. You have joined the old people group.

Last night Katti's car battery died. I went to pick up Nick from work and instead of reading and expanding my horizons with John Hodgman's book, I listed to Eddie Izzard for over an hour.

Apparently, it drained the battery. I had to get a jump from Nick's boss.

I returned to Nick's house, ate some foods and the car wouldn't start again.

Ben was asleep and no one else was home. I didn't know anyone downtown that could have given me a ride home. I called home and told them that I'd be home in the morning because the car wouldn't start.

Everything was okay.

Then this morning, I got a call from my brother and sister. They overslept even though they've been getting up at the same time for school for longer than they care to remember. Hannah's pissed because I'm not home. She calls my mom.

Oh, by the way, my parents are in Las Vegas.

I called Mom and got called irresponsible and told that my priorities are all wrong, that I broke her car and I have a loser boyfriend.

I ended up driving all the way home to take everyone to school and then all the way back to be late for work.

So, Kelly. Sorry but I don't want to chance leaving the house today and getting yelled at again. Have a beauteous stormy wet birthday. Maybe I'll see you tomorrow if I'm not dead when my parents arrive home.

I love you all.

P.S. John Hodgman is the PC in the PC v Mac commercials y'all might be seeing. I was right. You all doubted me because he gained weight but I WAS RIGHT!

I'm supposed to pick up Nick from work. He said he'd call me 45 minutes before they were going to be done.

It's almost midnight. I'm tired.

And worried.

I love you all.

Summer's barely started and I'm already bored.

I'm playing LOZ: Ocarina of Time again because it is a fun game and it's something to do.

Maybe I'll actually beat Majora's Mask and Wind Waker.

That would be fun.

I'm also reading this book on France that Nick bought for me. Every chapter or so, I have to stop reading and make myself stop freaking out so it's slow going. However, it is a very informative read.

It still freaks me out.

In other news, I want babies.

I love you all.

I watched Good Bye, Lenin! the other day.

It was good.

Except Yann Tiersen is a lazy ass and reused one of his songs from Amelie.

Well. I am a sophomore now.

I don't even know about France anymore. It's just too much money. We can't even afford the $500 "down payment" due tomorrow.

I don't even know if I want to go. It's just going to be more money that I feel guilty about my parents spending.

Ignore me, I'm on the rag.




I will be working 12-5 on Wednesdays, 9-5 on Thursdays and 9-4:30 on Fridays until I get another job then I'll hopefully be working every day.


I'm going to get my car fixed this weekend (or at least get an estimate on the cost of such fixing).



"Singing" while driving makes me happy.

Today, I have my last exam.

Then I will be done with my first year of college.

Wow.

The man behind Neutral Milk Hotel, Jeff Mangum, is a genius.


Pedro the Lion is also a genius. You've got to admit that the rhythm and timing of Rapture perfectly captures sex.

The Dumbing Down of Love by Frou Frou was played on this past week's episode of Bones.

It made me giddy with recognition tingles.

That is a good song.

I love you all.

So, my mom didn't realize it was a sleep-in so it looks like I'm not going.

I don't know how much of you know about the "nightwalkers," the tens of thousands of children in Uganda who "fear abduction by the Lord's Resistance Army, leave their villages every day to seek refuge in town before nightfall."

There's a nationwide sleep-in protest planned for today and one of the locations is here in Grand Rapids.

Hannah and I are going, so if you want to come too, call me before 6 tonight. Here are the details. They tell you what to bring and stuff.

Some people are walking from GVSU/Allendale to this thing and, rumor has it, some people are walking from Hope/Holland too. The goal is to walk at least a mile so you're commuting (a little bit) like the nightwalkers. I think the people I'm meeting up with (Emily) are going to walk from Aquinas.


Oh, it's at Rosa Park's Circle, I don't think I mentioned that.


If you want to come, call me before 6 tonight.

I love you all.

It's Friday!

Today my sister has her choir dinner theatre. I'm excited. She said the choreography is horrid so I'm looking forward to laughing with her. Or at her. Ha ha. She's a good sport.

I am hot. Wink wink, nudge nudge. It is very warm and beautiful outside. I am excited for spring. However, I am quite distraught because all the trees in my yard are the only kind of trees that don't have leaves on them right now.

The kids who're in France right now are coming back on the 28th of May. So it looks like I will be gone for 5 months. I'm going to France! Sometimes I forget all about it and it just surprises me. I am scared shitless. I will be GOING TO SCHOOL in a FOREIGN COUNTRY where all the classes will be taught in a language OTHER THAN THE ONE I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING SINCE BIRTH and one that I have FIVE YEARS of experience in. Yeah, I'm freaked out.

Lalalala.

I have exams next week and then I am done with my first year of college. Excitement!

I love you all.

P.S. Jessa, now I see what you mean about his family. She's being a poopyhead and you should just kill kick her. I was going to leave her a nasty message but that wouldn't be nice. I'm trying to resist the temptation.

I'm pretty sure iPods die after about a year.

Mine needs wiped and reset but I'd like to get my music off first.

Pretty please, Julio.

Yeah. Definitely growing my hair out.

This is the second time my father has called me by my brother's name/nicknames.

In my defense, he wasn't wearing his glasses.

For all you complete and total dorks out there:

There is an airport in Paris, France called Orly. I'm not even kidding.

Now try to tell me you still don't want to go to France.
