I have to choose, for tomorrow, the dance I want to teach for my Folk and Square Dance class.

I have it narrowed down to five dances. I am going to sign up to teach Easy Come Easy Go (a line dance, which everyone but Ashley and I love) but I have the four backups just in case.

I've decided that dancing is my hobby. It's so much fun, I'm going to have to find classes or something once this class is over.

I love you all.

Does anyone need a babysitter or know of someone who needs a babysitter? Or needs help moving or help with anything?

I could use a little extra cash this week and next week. Our bank being stupid sort of screwed us over a lot.

So if you need anything or know anyone who needs anything, let me know.

I want to go on a vacation this year with Nick so I was looking at train rides yesterday.

Nick and I were thinking of going to Seattle/San Fran/Portland/west coast. Is anything awesome happening anywhere in June or July? I just remembered that I might be working full time in June and July. Okay, anything happening in the Seattle-area in May?

Or does anyone know of anything awesome happening anywhere in May?

I made Nick drive me all the way to work before thinking that possibly the school was closed. We pulled into the parking lot and I thought: where are all the cars? I called the weather hotline and then Campus Safety who confirmed that "all functions and classes are canceled today" means that all offices are closed too.

And then we realized that our account was overdrafted making us literally poor. My paycheck on Friday, instead of going to food for the next two weeks, will go to paying off all the account fees. And Nick's paycheck will all go to rent, still making us very, very poor for two weeks. And we'd just gotten all caught up. It was ridiculous because none of these charges showed up until yesterday when all of them took place a week ago.

I love you all.

Our electricity went out for a few seconds but now it's back on. I almost hope it goes out again because not having electricity is a lot of fun.

Also, birthday laptop = awesome. Rutherford B Hayes be his name.

It is my birthday. I am 21 years old. This is exciting. I will officially be 21 at 8:25 Chicago time.

I went ice skating for the first time ever on Saturday and it was the most fun I've had in a long time. I was so happy and just smiling the entire time. The skates hurt my feet a lot though and now I have two really gross looking blisters on my ankles. They hurt a little. I have decided that I am going to join an ice skating nomad colony and ice skate for the rest of my days.

I am writing this all on the Wii using a USB keyboard. Jason, you should submit Eddie Izzard to the Check Mii Out channel.

Happy birthday to me! I kind of feel like celebrating with a drink but I have class at 11 and I'm not really thirsty.

I love you all.

I uploaded what could be called "a shit ton" of photos on flickr the other day but none of them are labeled or anything. If you want to see my unnamed photos go here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/littlewindow/

Birthday Weekend begins tomorrow.

I don't know how many of y'all are going to be in town but on Saturday we're going ice skating. I don't know what time or anything yet. On Sunday I want to go sledding or tubing or something but at Pando or wherever it's expensive so I might just get a sled and find a hill somewhere. I want to try to go out at midnight but all you school kids will probably be gone and I'll have a hard time finding a place anyway.

Let me know if you want to join the festivities.

Hopefully I will get a pro account for my birthday. I'm going to post more of my pictures later when I get the pro account.

I have noticed that the feeling I get from drinking is the same feeling I get with really bad cramps except the pain is social awesomeness and laughter.

I am going to start saving up my pennies for this baby stroller.

My Folk and Square Dance class is getting increasingly more awesome. My leg hurt after the first day but it was fine by the second. We learned the Hukilau and a couple line dances.

Dancing is my kind of exercise.

I have decided that I really don't want children for a while. I'm even okay with not getting married for a while.

I am beginning to freak out about graduating in a year because it turns out, I will graduate on time.

I drank a bit on Saturday. It was fun. I am so excited for my birthday. Seriously. It'll be keen.

I have to think up a topic for a paper for my EU class. I want to do it on Hungary but they were talking about not doubling up and choosing countries out of a hat... I just want to write it on Hungary.

I am taking a Folk and Square Dance course that is designed for Health and Physical EDUCATION majors. Ashley and I are the only non-athletic people in that class.

Instead of an exam, we have to draw up a lesson plan and teach a dance move that should take about twenty minutes. I was thinking about teaching the hobo dance and making something up or doing the jitterbug or belly dancing but I decided not to.

Instead, I am going to teach the Charleston. I don't know how to do it but I've always wanted to learn. I figure that if I have to teach people, I'll learn it far better than I ever would on my own.

In other news, I am thinking of not working this semester. I have a lot of classes and a lot of work to do. We shall see. I might just cut down to nine hours of work.

I love you all.

This semester is going to suck.

I had two classes today and I have four tomorrow. My final class tomorrow is what I politely refer to as a semester-long quad. It's a semester-long course that starts at 6:30 and ends at 9:30. Woo.

On the bright side, my French class that I had today is canceled for the rest of this week and the Monday of next week. Also, tomorrow is the first day of my Folk and Square Dance class. Hopefully it will be just fun and not just work.

Here's to an awesome semester!

Also, all of you need to come home on the weekend of January 25 so we can celebrate my big two-one. I am contemplating partying Monday night too and just skipping my 9:25 class. We shall see.

I love you all. I hope everyone is doing well.

So, Ben's journal got deleted.

This means we must restart THE COMMENT POST OF DOOM.

Anyone up for it?

Proof that the world falls apart when I leave the country:
Britney shaved her head while we were in Amsterdam.
There was a school shooting while we were in France.
Kurt Vonnegut died.
Anna Nicole Smith died.
Britney hit a car with an umbrella while we were in London.
My dad went into the hospital.
My cat began to fall over regularly.

I got my grades!

The one class I was concerned about (because I had missed a large number of classes (due to illness and the fact that it was at 8) and you can only miss four before your grade drops (the prof took attendance EVERY DAY)) turned out great. It didn't drop at all and I know I missed more than four. I'm not complaining about that.

Also, there was another class I was slightly concerned about that my straight-As-friend got a C- in. But even that turned out fine.

So, my lame ass gen ed semester was okay. Next semester is pretty much the same so...excitement. Not.

And that's it.

Rumor has it my mom and I are going to bake cookies and wrap presents and go shopping today. I haven't heard from her yet so I'm going to go call her in a bit. I love shopping and cookies so I want to go as soon as we can.

Christmas stories
My mom would always tell us stories about how forgetful my grandmother would be sometimes. She'd give us the same gifts two years in a row or think she gave us a present that we never got.

One Christmas, she asked my uncle how he liked his new watch. His only response was "what watch?" She forgot to give it to him and found it in the upstairs closet.

Last year, my mom got my brother a cheese cutting board. He likes cheese and kitchen things. A few days after Christmas, we got a big chunk of cheese and Mom suggested Buddy use his new cheese board to cut it. He sort of just gave me and Mom blank looks and said "I didn't get anything like that."

Mom and I exchanged looks and I laughed at her, bringing up the story she always told about my grandma. We searched everywhere for that darn cheese board. I was there when she bought it, it was heavy enough that I remember putting it in the car.

She finally found it in her bedroom closet.

The best thing I've read in a long time. It gave me goosebumps.

This is what I want for Christmas. I can't decide which would be better, reading the book or listening to that wonderful radio voice reading it to me.
