Oh, Woe Is Me!

Okay. Life is mocking me. And Life is having a whole heck of a lot of fun doing it.

First, March 21st is right around the corner. March 21st is my birthday. On that day, a very exciting thing is happening within the vicinity of the oh so wonderful me. Jon Heder, of Napoleon Dynamite fame, will be at the UCA campus for a special appearance. I don't know what he's going to do and I don't particularly care. I just know that Napoleon is going to be thisclose to me and I want to go. I want to go and wear my Vote for Pedro shirt and tell him how he is the greatest of all kinds of great in the world! I want to tell him how much I laugh every day because of watching Napoleon Dyanmite or acting out scenes from it. Unfortunately, tickets must be picked up in person, beginning at 10 a.m. on March 2nd. Of course, it would have to be at the exact time that I have an exam and an exam review! By the time I get there, there'll be no tickets left. Friggin' idiots!

Second, my favorite Jason Mraz will be performing in Tulsa on April 12. Tulsa isn't all that far, and I could easily drive there to see him. However, it would be safer if I brought someone along to help navigate. But, unfortunately, there is no one to go with me. And it wouldn't be smart to miss class that week, as I have at least two exams scheduled for that week. What is with all these professors giving me all kinds of tests and whatnot? It's like I'm in college or something!

I just wish I could "do what I wanna do! Gosh!"

On the Road Again...

I made it home! What fun. A weird thing went on... every car that passed me laughed at me! Not the vehicle, but the driver and its occupants. What was that all about? It's messed up, let me tell you. I was not a happy driver. Of course, when do I not have the road rage?

So, how about I'm kicking butt in all my classes, save one? And I just have a B in that one class, so it's nothing to worry about. I made a 100 on my French exam and a 95 on geography test. Go Phelps Climbs Cliffs Gag Ends!

Guess I'll rustle up some trouble here around the house. Look for something to do to make my bruise a little darker!

Ow! I've Been Hit!

No, not really. Just kidding. Actually, the ground took a good swing at me yesterday when I decided to slide down the banister of the stairs. I have a humongous bruise on my leg where I hit the floor. It was fun. I mean, it hurts, but I'd do it again. :)

How about Alias kicked all kinds of butt last night? And I'm so glad that KATV decided to air Alias at its proper time. The Rambaldi storyline is quickly coming back. It was also excellent to see Anna and Sark again.

Enough Alias fun. Nothing new to report, except that Jason Mraz remains awesome. Rock out!

My Brain Can't Take Any More!

Okay... my brain has had it. It's tired and sore from all the studying I did yesterday. It refuses to take in any more information until tomorrow, if I'm lucky. But guess what? I do know the 25 countries of the European Union, the 6 atmospheric conditions of Earth, the 8 world regions, and a whole lot of other geographic mish-mash.

Thank goodness I don't have another test until next Friday! I don't think I'd make it! My brain would fall out of my ears or something, I'm sure of it.

A big note of YAY-ness! I got my Jason Mraz cd today that I ordered. This isn't a new cd or anything. It's just one of his older, live albums. And let me say that no matter what the Mraz sings, he continually rocks my socks off. I lurve him!

I've had a few more blond moments this week, much like the one on Monday where I thought I was controlling the television screen. However, my father advised me not to disclose that information to everyone. So, I will stop announcing my dumb moments.

One last note, every person in the world should listen to Bright Eyes' When the President Talks to God. It's great fun!

It's Official: I'm Retarded

Not retarded in the sense that there is something wrong with me mentally. Well... I'm sure some could argue that there are things wrong with me mentally. But outside of that sense, I'm retarded. Today, I was using my back/neck massager thing to work out some knots while I was watching Frailty. All of a sudden, when I had the massager on my head, the television screen began to move erratically. When I took the massager away from my head, the movement stopped. It was quite bizarre. So, I put the massager against my head, and again, the screen jumped. I couldn't believe it! I was sure that I had acquired some kind of weird power that could control the television.

And then, I realized that I am, in fact, retarded. The screen wasn't moving; my head was moving due to the vibrations of the massager. I am an idiot.

On top of that astounding feat of intelligence, I fell twice today: once going up the stairs and once going down the stairs.

As you can see, today has been wonderful. Actually, it was a pretty awesome day, since I was wearing my "Vote for Pedro" shirt! Yeah! I got a lot of feedback on the Pedro-ness. It was great!
Another great thing was when my dorm had a fire alarm go off around five this afternoon. Now, normally, these things annoy me. Well, this one annoyed me, too. But, while standing outside waiting to be let back in the building, I noticed that one of my fellow dormspeople looks exactly like Robert Carmine with shorter hair! It was uncanny! And I love Robert Carmine! He's about the only dude I'd drop everything to marry in a heartbeat (Prince William is the other one)! Of course, everyone but this guy was talking about my Pedro shirt, when all I wanted was for him to saunter up and say something like "Hey, I play a mean guitar and I'm looking for a duet singer that loves to rock the Chuck Taylor Converses."

But noooooooooooo. I did not get that. I know nothing. I don't know his name or anything about him (the dorm guy), although I do know quite a bit about Robert Carmine.

Hmm... I may have to become a stalker!

Scaring People at Wal-Mart

Okay. I realize that I've already posted once today, but I really should have waited until after our Wal-Mart excursion.

Today, I have taken to wearing my favorite green belt as a tie. I don't know why I decided to wear it that way (earlier in the day, I was wearing it as a head band). I usually don't wear it at all. It just sits, lonely and green, in my closet. But anyway, I wore it as a tie to Wal-Mart. Now, it did garner some weird looks. But not as weird as....

....when I put on this incredibly bright blue newsboy cap. Then, the looks started coming. When I continued wearing the hat around the store, waving and saying "Hello!" to anyone who looked at me strangely, the looks got even more weirder. I offered a few comments to passersby on my appearance, such as "Do I look like I could fit in with the Village People?" and "Does this hat match my outfit?"

Of course, the hat didn't match what I was wearing. When does anything I wear match?

Before the blue hat event, this Mexican guy kissed in my face. Like, he passed me, turned his head and blew a kiss right in my face. I don't... no no no. So, I quickly moved to another aisle. On this aisle, I am bombarded by a child, who has clearly not taken his Ritalin today, telling me all the exciting ways to explode a vehicle on some video game.

Despite the crazies, I found Reality Bites, which is one of the best movies to watch. It's a good film, with a good message: just because you have a college degree, you're not guaranteed a career.

Muahaha - Forge has turned into me!

Ha! Forge nearly pulled two Me's in an hour time span. She nearly fell backwards twice. And one time, she really didn't catch herself. Like, I mean, her face almost kissed the floor. It was AWESOME!

I guess you just had to be there. We've had a fun day. We had Chinese food, which is something that I haven't had in almost six months. I was very excited to be eating crab rangoons again. Of course, this place didn't have my favorite cookie, but oh well. Forge and I discussed how the fortunes in the fortune cookies are no longer fortunes. In fact, Forge's told her that she "was a person of culture." My own fortune read "It is better to have a hen today than an egg tomorrow."

Yuck. I'd rather have neither.

Oh, Are You Ever Going to Be Sorry!

Okay, Mr. KATV. You and Mr. Acid Reflux are fixing to hit the road. Because of your inability to air Alias at its proper time, and Mr. Acid Reflux's ability to keep me awake at all hours of the night, I missed the entire episode last night. I had gotten maybe six hours of sleep in the last 48 hours and I completely crashed during the show and couldn't be roused.

Now, you may be saying, 'Hey, this isn't my problem. If some kid can't stay awake, that's her own fault.' WRONG! It IS your fault. If you aired the show when it is originally supposed to air, neither of us would be having this problem.

But now, there's a problem. I missed a whole episode of Vartan! What is wrong with you people!? I dislike KATV more than Mr. Fisher to the infinite degree! You probably have NO idea how horrible that is, but whoa yeah, it's bad. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

KATV: You are officially on my Bad News list. Watch your back.

On a much happier note, my Uncle Melvin will be home soon! Isn't that completely fantabulous?! :-D Hugs and Kisses to Uncle Melvin! Hope to see you soon! :D

Crudmonkey!

Okay, Mr. Acid Reflux, you win. I am tired of fighting you. I'll go to the freakin' doctor asap. You make me angrier than a road rager in rush hour traffic on a six lane highway. So, I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay, 'cause your butt is gone within the month!

Good news: I heard from Natty today! Yay for Natty! And congratulations on getting engaged! That is so exciting. Also, it should be noted that Mr. Gavin DeGraw is coming to see me. He's coming to sing me a couple of songs. He has such good taste, that Mr. DeGraw.

Okay, maybe he's not coming to see me, per se. But he is coming to my campus. So, I'll be here and he'll be here, and most likely, we'll see each other.

Another point of fun information: Jason Mraz's new cd will be out this August! If he'd come touring my way, I'd have an awesome 2005. Rooney's new album is also supposed to be out this year. What fun!

For the Love of Moldy Bread!

I got a 78 on my Anthropology exam. And I'm not complaining, since I did not study for it at all. But no more test grades below 80. That's my February resolution. It'd work out real well, if only I could get myself to study. Forge says she's going to make me study. But you know what I say? I laugh. Ha! to you Forge. You think you can make me study. But it's impossible! I am not a studying machine!

I went a little crazy today and whacked off a good five inches off my hair. I didn't do this myself; I let a professional do it. I had said I was never cutting it short again. Well, I lied. It was hassling me. I felt like Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite. You know, where he shaves off his hair because it was making his head too hot? At least I didn't shave it all off.

And to leave you, I'll offer the quote of the week. Some character said this last night on Gilmore Girls. I don't know who said it, but it was pretty darn funny. I don't care who you are.

"Since when did you become Tipper Gore?"

Swoon. Thud.

Okay, so Cupid tried to hit me with an arrow the day after Valentine's Day. Props to you, Cupid, for trying to catch me off guard. But still, I'm on to you. No love for me, no matter how cute the dude's eyes are.

Another guy asked me how my Valentine's Day went. I was thinking about how I did big fat nothing all day. But instead, I told him, "Oh, fine. How was yours?" He then tells me that his V-Day went okay. "I didn't have to spend any money."

Was he just trying to let me know that he's single? Or was he just being a stupid boy? He comes in my store every two or three days... I must keep an eye on him. I must keep Cupid at bay.

A Drug Induced Haze

Well, unfortunately, I spent much of the Valentine's Weekend in a drug induced haze. Not illegal drugs, mind you; I mixed two prescription medications that should never be mixed. It was quite the experience. I was so tired, I didn't think I'd be able to do anything at all... and my right eye was twitching out of control. It was a mess.

No Valentine to speak of. That's fine, since I'm against the whole idea of Valentine's Day in the first place. I am (officially) anti-Love. So, Cupid, don't even think about shooting your arrows at me; they will be wasted!

Two more tests this week. Blech. And I'll find out about the two I took last week. Double blech. I like my classes.... I don't like the tests. But then again, who does?

KATV -- Free ALIAS

Okay, KATV. I've had it with you.

This morning I had an exam at 8 a.m. But I stayed up last night to watch Alias at 12:30, since that is the time you now play it. Earlier in the week, a commercial said that the show would be airing early on Thursday morning. And guess what? It didn't come on. It's coming on early Friday morning instead. I had to endure the ridiculous Wife Swap. And to top it all off, yesterday I had stayed up for a total of 18 hours. Then, I had to get back up early this morning as well. Why can't you air my freakin' show when it's originally supposed to air?

I understand that you'd rather play the college basketball game. But I want you to understand that while I may currently live in Arkansas, I could care less what the Razorbacks are doing, in any type of sport. I don't think it's fair for you to tape my show and air it at a later time. Why can't you tape the game and air it later?

Alias better air early Friday morning. If you have caused me to miss the entire episode because you'd rather air a retarded sports game, things are going to get ugly fast. I know I'm not the only one in this position, and I know you've received other complaints about this. So, my suggestion to you is to cut basketball season short, and start airing Alias at 8p.m. on Wednesday nights.

Let my Alias go!

Our Future: Questioning Authority

Today, I read one of the best articles the campus paper has ever published. It was written by a guest writer, on questioning the current authority of our country.

We must question authority. We must question everything. It is
our right. It is our future.

The guy's got a great point. I've held onto the article all day, and I'm thinking of adding it to my scrapbook. So, Amen, to you, Mr. Writer that I've kept Anonymous! You rock my socks off!

I should get back to studying. I've shuffled around it for about an hour now, watching television , singing songs at the top of my lungs, and surfing the 'net. But I must study the Constitution. It's my freakin' future!

And I have the right to gag you with a sock if we have to go through this again!

The Best Thing Since PB&J on Whole Wheat Bread is...

....Bright Abbott, on this week's episode of Everwood. Sometimes you just hate Bright for being idiotic. But sometimes, you just love him to pieces. This episode was one of the latter. He's just the greatest. The hero of the week is Bright Abbott, played by Chris Pratt. Kudos to you, buddy!

I also love the new doctor on Everwood. I can't think of his character's name or who plays him, but he has the cutest dimples on primetime since Jennifer Garner!

Enough television talk. The real world was pretty boring today. Nothing much of interest, except an excursion to the grocery store, where I did probably the BEST parking job I have ever done in four years of driving. Next, Forge and I tried to find the area post office, which was the biggest flop of any search party ever. Then, I showed Forge the best of the nearby lake, which was nice and fun. But all too soon, it was time for work. Blech.

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE my job. And I'm not being sarcastic. I really do love working where I work now. It's fantastic. But it was such a gray day.... it was a good day to sleep. And I didn't sleep much last night to begin with, so I was extra tired. Thus the reason I am going to bed extra early this evening (of course, I do have an 8 a.m. class tomorrow, as well).

On a closing note, Happy Anniversary to me! I have had my tattoo for exactly one year. How exciting.

One of those lazy crazy hazy days

It's been a slooooooow day. Quiet and boring. Not my cup of tea, but what the hey?

I've spent most of the day wasting time with Kip. Did I mention that I was also wearing my "Vote for Pedro" shirt? Yes, I am a dork. And yes, I like me that way.

I do love my new Kip. He is much fun. I like surfing the net without my computer burning a hole in my thigh. It's very convenient.

I don't know if it's because television stations are gearing up for the Super Bowl tomorrow, but every freakin' channel has been showing nothing but crap all day long! I can't take all this paralyzing mind warping by the media. At least entertain my brain if you're going to warp me! Give me something to laugh about! And no, do not show me what's on RFDTV, thank you very much.

Nothing to say but babbles and rambles. Sorry. I'll go somewhere else to entertain myself.

Meet Kip!

Everyone, please welcome Kip to the universe! My new baby Dell has been affectionately named "Kip", since he so much resembles Kip from Napoleon Dynamite. Kip loves technology, but not as much as me, you see.

Other than the arrival of Kip, there's nothing to report. I did see a lot more birds on the way home. It did freak me out again. I also saw four deer just watching the traffic, which was weird.

Hmm, this new laptop seems much more stabler than my previous one. Wonder why? ;)

A Pepsi-Less Life

Holy cannoli. The only store in my town is fighting with the Pepsi distributer. This spells bad news for me, for I am a Pepsi-holic. Coca-Cola will not suffice. If I have to travel to Timbuktu, I will have my Pepsi. "If I have to tear this universe another black hole, I'm going to find it! I've got to, Mister!"

On a lighter note, my new baby Dell is in. We'll meet this weekend and discuss our future together. Hopefully, our future will be so bright, the whole world will need sunglasses.

And how about a major bummer! It did not snow today! It always snows on this day. And it didn't. The whole week is ruined. :(

Not really. But the Pepsi thing really does have me down.

And Jenjer, if you read this, I hope you feel better! :D
