Nic Cage named his new child Kal-El, which happens to be the birth name of Superman. Wow. Looks like Apple has a new playmate. :-P

I find it amazing that I haven't been carded (for alcohol) in this town yet. Ironically, the only time I even got a weird look was when I was with my parents. They vouched for me; I found that cute.

I found out today that carrying four 2-liters of pop and a 18-pack of beer bottles (that's 280 fluid ounces, for those keeping score at home) even two blocks sucks. A lot. Watching my muscles spasm uncontrollably is kind of cool though.

New layout on the way tonight.

Ramblings
Tara's sick.

Her symptoms include a sore throat that hurts like a mother, swollen lymph nodes, fever, her lower abdomen (right around her spleen and liver) are a little sore, and is extemely tired. She took 4 naps yesterday and fell asleep early last night. Tara doesn't do that, she's a night owl like me. I went over to John's so I wouldn't bug her with my moving around.

I'm afraid that Tara has mono. I really don't want her to have it, it's a bitch to go through.

I don't have English class this week, just a conference with the prof today at 4:30. So I don't have to carry the stupid, heavy book around, therefore I brought Tomato with me today. Le w00t.

Ugh, my butt's falling asleep on the hard floor of 4th floor Brown. Numb numb numb, my bum is numb. Shit! Some random person's looking over my shoulder. BEAT IT!!!! Phew, they're gone.

Just another hour until my German comp. class starts. We'll be looking at our tests that we took on Thursday, I'm slightly frightened.

Edit 3:30 pm

I got an A on my German comp. exam. Yays. I also made another aquaintence so yay again.

I've got my conference in an hour and I just realized that the prof never told us where we were meeting for the conference. *insert pic of me strangling her neck* Snarl.

I got to color one of my drawings with Amanda's copic (or an off brand of copic, and less expensive ^_^) markers.

It looks so effing better than my attempts with colored pencils.

Don't have english this week, but I hafta go in tomorrow for a 10 minute conference with the prof. I'll bring in a better copy of my horrid information paper as well. It's sooooo boring. Seriously, who in their right mind would want to read a paper dealing with learning a second language? Not me.

I saw sarcastic dude aka what's his face (I forgot his name ^^"). We haven't seen each other since, I think, the day that I went to see Pat. Le w00t.

John's having an ITG/DDR day on Friday. He'll bring his dance pads down to the TV room and I'll bring my computer because it has Stepmania on it. We just need to find 2 more DDR pads so more people can play (if many people come). Tee hee, this'll be fun.

I've been using Tara's spare ethernet cable hook-up thingymabob to connect to the interweb up in the room. She had to take it home this weekend for something...and didn't bring it back.

Grr desu.

So now I've gotta go to Meijer sometime and pick 'un out to purchase.

In other news, I had lunch with my aunt today. We ate at Panera Bread, mmmm...

Now it's time for math!

Fuck
So my brother's in the hospital. The older one that lives in Montana, not the wee high schooler. But anyway yesterday he was car-surfing and he fell off and knocked his head. So they had to airlift him from Bozemond to Billings. Somethings bleeding inside his head. They might need to do surgury. My mom's on her way there (or she might already be there by now). Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

And in case you were wondering, but were afraid to ask, he's in serious trouble, but he's not gonna die.

Hello.
I guess I should tell you about school, now that I have time.

College is the best thing that I have ever encountered. (Next to Nick, of course but normally I don't call meeting Nick an "encounter".) All of my professors are nice (even though my I&E prof channeled Mr. Watson yesterday), none of my classes are lectures and I haven't slacked off as much as usually. School is so much fun. My friends are awesome to just hang out with, all the clubs I'm involved in are either on topics I really care about or things I'm really interested in and the girls outnumber the guys 4 to 1.

My French professor is also the Spanish prof. She speaks French for the entire hour. At first, I was really afraid of that class but as it got going, I realized that we aren't learning anything. Then Shayne and Nicole told me that Mrs. Dudka is pregnant and on bed rest again so they aren't learning a thing either.
My English class (I&E) is okay. It's really a waste of time but since I didn't take the AP test and it's required...I'm trapped there. The prof, Dr. Dawson, is a hippie.

My PE/Health requirement (Nutrition, Exercise and Stress) is just that, a requirement. I'm trying to get it out of the way so I can be happy an unhealthy for the rest of my life. The prof also teaches the pilates and yoga classes at Aquinas so of course we had to do those things. Pilates smurfing sucks.

My math class is alright. I hate math. I hate algebra. My prof is pretty awesome and nice. She also explains things very nicely. I understand most of everything. Mostly because I've learned it all before and it's pretty much remembering. I hate factoring.

At Aquinas, freshmen are required to take this Intro to Information Literacy class that teaches you how to use the library and research things for papers. It's actually kind of interesting and fun but I'm a dork. The professor is the co-director of the library and, for some reason, loves me to death.

My web page design class is great. It's all done in Frontpage so even if I didn't know how to insert pictures, I could find out in less than a minute. The professor wrote the first college textbook on HTML and is pretty "hip". He grows all of his own fruits and vegetables, his house is run on his own generator, he loves spelunking and he cannot remember any HTML. He loves cars and music too. Pretty cool.

My friends are awesome. I met my friend Jeremy at orientation. We usually eat lunch together. Sometimes his sister, Elysia, comes along. She's a junior and transferred from Saginaw Valley State University. They're from Caro, some small town on the other side of the state. Shayne used to eat with us but now he's too cool. He's in my I&E class though so it's okay. I see my friend Emily once in a while. She's in my French class and in both SAC and the radio station club. She rocks. And she's beautiful.
Life's going pretty alright too. I got a job on campus at the registrar's office. I only get about 10 hours a week so I was thinking of maybe getting a weekend job too. We'll see. The only sucky part is that we work during all breaks. Which means that I don't know if I can go see Katie anymore.

Nick and I are doing great. We keep running into these crappy things (that I bring up because it's my job to over think everything.) but we get right through them. We keep talking about getting married eventually or living together next year. I hope it happens eventually. It'd be nice. Nick's a really nice guy and I hope he sticks around for a while longer. We're coming up on sixteen months. It's awesome!

On Wednesday, I got up the courage to drive myself to school. Ever since then, I've been driving everywhere. I love it and I never thought I would.

Anyway. Life is awesome. School is awesome. Yeah, I'm stressed and worried about a bajillion things but I'm having fun and growing up. That's all I wanted. Hopefully I can start going to church again. I keep wanting to but I make a thousand excuses every single time.

I love you all. I hope everything's going great for all of you. I miss you, Kelly, come home sometime. The rest of you all need to come home too.

Pics!
I got a new haircut today. I like it.



Oh yeah. I have sideburns again. I like those too. :-)



And a cool new (free) poster tonight. I like that as well.



That's all.

I almost censored myself there. I almost did what I always do.

I'm proud of myself for not making the same mistake again. Look at me, learning and adapting!

There is a fine line you tread between making yourself happy, staying true to yourself, and respecting and loving the people in your life that you care about. Right now, I'm outside the car, walking that line with my finger to my nose, reciting my ABCs.

Hey all, I'm home for the weekend.


Andy changed the bathroom decorations and whatnot. Crazy kid. He's doing much better than the last time I saw him ^_^


It's strange not having to go up a ladder to get to my bed. And that I can just sit on my bed and not worry about hitting my head, or any other parts of my body for that matter, on the ceiling.

I've been really anxious/worried the past 24 hours, and I don't know why.

I didn't sleep last night. I dreamt. It felt like a 7-hour long waking dream.

Chronicles from the Garneau laundry room
This guy came down to the laundry room. He was dragging/pushing his laundry basket in front of him. Making a racket.

I watched him as he dutifully sorted his clothes into two seperate piles (darks and lights. I don't even do that anymore, the darks outnumber the lights majorly). He saw me watching him and smiled.

He went over to where the washing machines were and put his clothes in, glancing at me every once in a while. I glanced back when I thought that he wasn't looking.

We met eyes, then he went out of the laundry room, probably to eat dinner or something.

John's coming down to do his laundry, le w00t. I'll let him watch my stuff while I go up and get laundry detergent for him.

I think I'll draw a picture for the dude with enough sense to sort his clothes. And put it in the bottom of one of his laundry baskets ^_^

Edit 10:29 pm

Oh, and I'm coming home this weekend.
