Welp, 80s prom has come and gone..here's a few pics of it! My camera broke once i got to the dance, but i got a few pics! (the memory card doesn't work anymore..booo)

Ok enjoy!

Here's a riddle...

what's black and white and red all over?

you might say...a newspaper...they are plack and white and "read" all over
OR
you might say a bloody zebra...they are black and white and red all over
OR
you might say a skunk with a rash...they are black and white and red all over
BUT
my answer is...MY LEG!!!

I fell at work the other day, tripped over a plastic tote and took a digger, quite embarassing really, but now my WHITE leg has a big BLACK bruise and some RED scabs on it from the fall. its pretty nasty but in reality it is black and white and red all over.

SO, there's your riddle for the day! I hope you enjoyed it! Get your butt outside and enjoy the weather. It's GORGEOUS!!!!

YAR!

What a beautiful thing
Shadows in the sunlight
Crushed by desire for something you don’t own

It’s a beautiful thing
Golden and fragile
Each petal that falls leaves one less that remains.

Pick it apart to find all the pieces
Trying your best to put them back straight
Racking your mind to find all the answers
And you don’t know, no, you just don’t know.

Piece by piece
Strewn about on the table
A life full of goals that you thought you’d achieve.

Once alive and so brave
Now is only a memory
Its time to become what has faded away.

Pick it apart to find all the pieces
Trying your best to put them back straight
Racking your mind to find all the answers
And you don’t know, no, you just don’t know.

Now is the time that you pull it together
No one is ever the man that they seem
The flower that blooms for you won’t last forever
All that’s left is the petals all piled on the floor
And you want more
So much more.

Pick it apart to find all the pieces
Trying your best to put them back straight
Racking your mind to find all the answers
And you don’t know, no, you just don’t know

And you don’t know, no, you just don’t know
And you don’t know, no, you just don’t know

And you don’t know, no, you just don’t know.






(To find someone you love, you gotta be someone you love. To find someone you love, you gotta call your own bluff.)

This pretty much sums it up right now.

"I'm a slow motion accident
Lost in coffee rings and fingerprints
I don't wanna feel anything but I do
And it all comes back to you"


But don't worry...Bry's right. Everything is going to be ok. I know that. It's already starting to be ok. Just pray for my courage and strength. and...wish me luck.

Thanks.

For those that care..i lost my diamond earring that my mom and dad bought for me for christmas. I was devastated when i discovered that it was missing....

I JUST FOUND IT! I DIDN'T LOSE IT AFTER ALL AND IT IS SAFE IN MY EAR! Oh YAY! i'm sooooooooo excited about that! ok...gotta go to bed. good night!

YAY FOR FINDING DIAMONDS!

well, i'm back at school...sitten here with my Justin. He's reading my thesis, poor kid. But i need all the people that i can get to read it. I have to turn it in tomorrow and i'm FREAKING OUT! i just don't feel ready for this. I've seen a few people since i've been back. It's good to see them...and good to be back! I miss home...i miss the comfort, the nice clean, normal smell of home....my room here stinks. i think i should have thrown out my veggies before break..they rotted! but...what can you do. air it out!

Anyway, i worked tonight, and while i feel awful for having to waste a beautiful day like today inside....i did enjoy being back at work with the people there...that i work with. hehehe. They missed me! anyway...i'm tired. i think i'm gonna head to bed...or maybe nap while justin reads my paper! YEAH!

ok..later alls!

Well, the weather is beautiful...yay! I'm going to eat out with my family and Timmy's family tonight! mmmm..Japanese food! I'm excited! Now...what to wear! Hmmm, we'll have to see. I'm thinking my green shirt! I really like that one! yeah...ok, must get going! LATA!

PS..there is a smile on my face. hasn't been there for a while!

Well, just when you thought you were done you're given a HUGE pile of things to change or elaborate on....this is rediculous. a never-ending process of writing writing writing and revision. DUMB. sorry, i'm negative about this projecct...i have a right to be. it's dumb.

anyway, i have a few days left of my break to work on this darn thing and then i'm done with it and i don't care how it turns out after that. i'm just going ot be done with it! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

i'm excited too for easter, then i can spend time with my family. It'll be good to see everyone. BLAH SCHOOL!

i think i'm so tired that i can't sleep. I spent a good part of the whole day outside, and i'm just tired...but i can't seem to let my body relax so i can sleep. grrr, frustrating. my shoulders are really tense...that's just not fun. PLUS i could really use a chiropractor....but the one i used to go to..left. so now what. i need to be adjusted NOW, not in three weeks after they've gone through the x-rays and all the crap. whatever...i'll just suffer. easier that way.

gonna play solitaire now.

check out Ben Harper's "Both Sides of the Gun" disk....good stuff. "Happy every after in your eyes" is a good song! lullabye type. ahhh...night.

"There is no agony like bearing an untild story inside you." ---Zora Neale Hurston

I like that quote. How often to you just long to tell your story to anyone who will listen?

silence is golden right?? well it can be agony as well.


this i know.

Well...the weather is beginning to get nice again. I'm excited about that and i can't wait until i don't have to bundle up to outside anymore.
I'm a little frustrated right now because i have so many papers to write and i just think it's so stupid that teachers feel they need to pile on the papers for us to write. Is this becasue you don't feel like teaching us anything that we can't get out of some stupid reading we're supposed to do for class? Is it because you don't feel like taking an hour of your time to write out a test for us to answer? Is it because you have children at home that you want to spend your time with and don't want to take the time to do outside work so you just assign us a paper to write? Because let's see...if you're excuse is the first i listed, then you need to know that more than half the students in your class didn't read the book in the first place and don't intend to, myself included. You also need to know that reading books doesn't teach students anything because if you find a student that actually read they probably can't tell you what it was they read about because there are way too many other things that they are focusing their time and energy on to really focus in on the reading. So that's a lame excuse. If your excuse is the second one i listed then i think you're lame and you should find a new job if you don't feel like teaching a class things that are important and should be remembered. If your excuse was the third, then let me tell you a little something about what it's like to be a student, in case you forgot. We have school, and on top of that we have at least 5 classes all different classes with different teachers. We spend our days from 8am until 3 or 4 or 5pm going to calss and listening to you talk at us or force us to read these books and articles that mean nothing to us and will be forgotten just as soon as they are read. (or not read at all) Then, most of us have jobs too so that we can afford to come to this school, so that you can get paid to make us read stupid articles and research stupid topics that are meaningless in the long run. So then there's at least 5 or 6 more hours that we spend working...to go even further, some of us have extra curricular activity that we have to take part in to save our sanity. i mean you can't blame us for wanting to have some fun at school can you? well maybe you can. At any rate, we have those three things that usually keep most of us busy until at least 10pm...When we finally get back to our dorms or appartments at night, we have a good four or five hours of homework waiting for us. and do you want to know what the most frustrating thing of it all is? that homework is papers. we have to write papers upon papers uopn papers. And for what? you read them and then disregard them. they don't mean anything to you, they certainly mean nothing to us. so why do we have to write them? Shouldn't school be about learning....now about how many pages of bull crap you can write down on your computer screen?

it just frustrates me. I would rather take a 100 question test and spend like three hours studying facts for it than write a 7-10 page paper on a poet or write a 15-20 page paper on the same poet for another class. writing papers teaches me nothing. learning facts and memorizing them at least gives me something to remember. that's my rant as i look ahead at my week where i have 4 papers due...one that is to be 7-10 pages, another that is to be 15-20, there is a 3-5 pager, and a bunch of questions that i have to answer about a reading that i'm supposed to do. school is lame. don't go. (joking about the not going part) but it is lame.


and lottery tickets are not a lame birthday gift!

Music is worthless unless it can make a complete stranger break down and cry.


that's what they say.
