7:48 pm	Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about themselves. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 5 people to be tagged and list their names. No tag backs. 1. When I was in middle school, I saved up enough money to buy a chinchilla. Then my mom said no, so I bought a pair of shoes instead. 2. I graduate in 74 days! I go to Rome in 77 days! 3. I have a presentation on piezoelectric accelerometers tomorrow, and as of now, I still have no idea what that is. 4. I can only eat Cocoa Puffs in groups of 7. If I end up with extras, I either throw them away or pour more in. I've been like this since I was about eight. 5. I don't like ice cream. 6. I have too many stuffed unicorns, and too few REAL unicorns. 7. I recently decided that red is my second favorite color. My first favorite has always been, and will always be, yellow. 8. I'm kind of sad that the only books I've been able to finish lately are the books I buy because I've seen movies based on them. 9. I wish I got to do something more creative with my career. 10. Now I'm late for a senior design meeting. I'm not tagging anyone. (Comment on this)

6:00 pm	i touched colin meloy. i saw THE DECEMBERISTS last night! it was pretty awesome. sam was good at pushing her way to the front and then when she was really close she let me switch spots with her and it was way exciting. it was such a good show! i wish they played here like once a month or something. i also wish they were my friends. they'd be cool friends. i'm going to quit typing things before i sound any more pathetic or stalker-y.

11:15 pm	updation station? i am updating cause frew says he reads this. nice. plus its been a while. i dont like going to work, but i dont know what else i'd do with my time besides sleep anyway. its just that 8 hours is a long time, and i havent gotten used to it yet. even after 2 summers of it. i think i'm a pansy. sorry everyone. so my house is half destroyed. we got new carpet this week, and we are still working on the countertops in the kitchen. and the logical place to put the stove and the sink during this process is apparently the back yard. its weird. anyway, it puts my mom in a bad mood, and that puts me in a bad mood, and trying to be nice doesnt really work when mom takes everything the wrong way. but i dont get to live at home for much longer, so i should try to make the best of it i guess. so there are some good concerts coming up that i am getting excited for. first, ben kweller is playing in dallas the day before my birthday, and then the decemberists (!!!) are playing in october. i cant wait. i really wish they were my friends. anyway, bk and decmeberists both have new cds coming out soon. and i just bought an interpol cd and one from the killers. i'm pretty sure it will be good study music. i like not knowing the words so well when i'm studying (otherwise i get distracted by singing by myself), so i'll try not to listen to them so much. here's something: i really want to go back to school, but i'm pretty sure everyone (mostly) is gonna be...well not fun. or at least not my idea of fun. its just sad, cause at some other schools, i'm pretty sure you use your senior year to have a lot of fun with your friends before you go off and never see each other again. i'm pretty sure that everyone at LU will either get caught up in work or spend all their time hitting on freshmen. thats a bummer. last weekend i went to plano to see frew, C-4, joy, sam, rosene, etc. and frew's friend darry was in from wisconsin. we went to see the 6th floor museum. i was the only one who knew what the museum was for when we got there. i dont know what everyone else thought it was, but they were weirded out when i told them kennedy was shot there. weird non-texans. oh well. the boys wanted to go to the cockroach museum too. i was less enthusiastic. they decided to wait til i was gone to go, but i dont think they ever got around to it. anyway we also went to the magic time machine and that was way awesome. i hadnt been since 8th grade, but its even better now cause they can tell you dirty jokes. waldo was our waiter and joy got a super-exciting glass of iced water with ice!!! anyway, it was fun, and i definitely should go more often. dad is in dallas tonight, so that means mom wont go to bed. its weird. our internet was down, but now that i fixed it, mom will definitely not sleep. oh well. i just hope it doesnt make her extra-grumpy tomorrow. shes also not sleeping in her room cause one of those creepy see-through gecko things was in there. we were both to scared to touch it. good thing i dont have any in my room. alright, for some reason i'm tired all day up until its a decent bed time. so now i'm going to try and sleep. we'll see if it works. this ended up being a really long post. i'm a little proud of myself for that. i hope that anyone who read all this didnt get too bored. goodnight all.

12:16 am	i dont know i am awake because i can't sleep. imagine that. i'm in a weird mood. i don't think i've felt exactly this way since i was in austin. i want to put more words here, but i don't know what they are. in any case, i hope this goes away soon, and i think it will. i get holiday pay for not going into work on monday and tuesday, so that's pretty awesome. i'm going to attempt sleep now. it's not like late or anything, i just have work early in the morning. that's it.

1:42 am	night ok, so i know i'm crazy from running around all evening, but it is really nice outside and i felt like i needed to post so i could remember that. it reminds me of every good day outside ever. thats right. i really dont want to go to sleep now, or i'd like to sleep outside maybe except for the wind. but i have an early class so i'm going to bed now. livejournal said that it made it easier to put pictures up. livejournal lied. its still just as hard if you dont pay money. fine. i didnt have a picture to put up anyway, jerk. goodnight.

12:06 pm	once upon a time there was a pretty unicorn. he was the prettiest unicorn in all the land. plus he could fly. he had pretty hair in pretty braids with pretty bows. one day, he flew into a kittens house. the kitten saw his pretty braids and pretty bows and called him a fag. then the unicorn stabbed the kitten in the heart with his horn thing, and flung him across the room into a bookcase. he then shouted "who's the fag now?" and nailed his pretty bows to the kittens dead body. from then on, no one ever called him a fag again; not because he killed the kitten for doing so, but because he quit wearing those gay bows all the time. the end.

12:41 am	soft serve of death... (I'D PUT THIS PART IN ITALICS, BUT I'M NOT A NERD SO I DONT KNOW HOW SO ITS JUST ALL IN CAPITAL LETTERS. YAY CAPS LOCK!!!!!!!!!!!) FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DONT EAT AT SAGA EVERYDAY, YOU MAY NOT GET THIS. JUST KNOW THAT THE FOLLOWING STORY IS ABSOLUTELY, 100% TRUE. ENJOY. once upon a time there was a village of baby seals. i dont know where they came from, cause none of them had parents. they just spontaneously generated. so, obviously, they had super powers. they were white and they lived where it was cold. they had names: toby, george (pronounced the pretentious, french way), julie, horatio, ginger, peter, cricket, and uriah. one day, while the baby seals were balancing each other on their noses for fun, some canadian poachers came cause they wanted seal fur to cover their ugly girlfriends faces. the got out their bats and prepared to club them all to death. horatio totally flipped out. he threw cricket (whom he had been balancing) into one of the poachers. cricket took the poachers bat and hit him with it until he twitched on the ground. and then some more until he stopped moving at all. this went on for a while; julie slapped a guy in the face with her tail flipper thing. peter threw ice chunks in their eyes. uriah sat on them. he was big. and george looked at one of them with the biggest, cutest eyes until the poachers head exploded. it was awesome. sadly, just when all the poachers had been conquered, a saga worker quietly approached from behind with a bag (not altogether unlike santa's bag, except used for evil and not for good). he put all the seals in the bag, and the super powers of the baby seals were no match for the magic saga bag. the seals stayed in the bag for a long journey to longview, tx where there were quickly put in a taylor brand soft serve "ice cream" machine. they were ground up and served to the students as a tasty after dinner treat. they were so good that one satisfied student claimed "wow, this ice cream tastes heavenly! and jimmies too? wow!!!" however, george, was able to climb out of the machine, after months of barely escaping impending doom, and give that big-eye look to the saga man who kidnapped him, who immediately exploded. he continued throughout the whole building til everyone was dead. it was a slaughter house. he escaped to tell his tale and quickly became the president of PETA, and later became a famous author. letourneau university immediately switched food services from saga to sodexho. there was just too much blood around the cafeteria. of course all this happened a long time ago before the '"anti-seals for dessert" bill was passed in 1972. but sometimes, the ghost of the other 7 seals can be heard lurking inside the soft serve machine in b.a. skipper dining hall. its as if every time someone goes to get ice cream, the baby seals are barking, calling out, and pleading with the diner "dont eat me! i'm a seal! and i'm a baby! but i'm cute! and i'm magic! please! this will just make you fat anyway! and who eats seals? and....argggggggggggghhhhhhhhh grinding!!! help!!!!!! argh argh argh argh argh!!" in memoriam toby, julie, horatio, ginger, peter, cricket, and uriah. rest in peace george: your last book sucked. its time for you to retire. Current Mood: so much homework!!! (4 Comments |Comment on this)

11:46 am	this morning after digital i came back to my room planning on taking a shower and finishing up some homework for my next class. but, when i got to my suite, the door was locked. so i knocked a lot, but no one heard. then i went to katie and asked her for the key. she was asleep, so i felt bad. she gave it to me and said "turn it all the way til it wont go anymore. then turn some more and it will open." well i am weak so that didnt happen. i went down stairs to see if our RD was here, and on the way down, my ears started ringing and i knew i was going to black out. so after a few seconds, i couldnt see. that was great. and my RD wasnt even there. so i sat down on the elevator for a minute and recovered. then i came back and katie was opening my door for me. she can do it cause she's super strong. then i took the coldest shower ever. i almost cried. but, things are way better now. i am done with classes, and i am going to take a big nap. and its the weekend, so something fun should happen tonight. i really want to start putting pictures on here or something. maybe i'll figure that out soon. i'm too tired to look into that right now though. thats it.

11:32 pm	why bother? i'm writing in here. i bet you're all thrilled. it's mostly cause i dont want to work on stuff. so thanksgiving was this weekend. it was fun. frew came home with me, so i wasnt the only person under 50 at all the family stuff this year. besides family, i got to see fun people. i saw ted and david and alyssa and sarah b. so that was good. it was a good break, and it seemed sufficiently long. now i cant wait til christmas when i get a whole month of sleeping in and staying out late. i missed school people over the break though, so i'm sure christmas will be the same. i missed lee's belly. i have to write a paper for my bible class. i dont want to. if i could just get started on it, it wouldnt be so bad. frew is awesome. he helped figure out my digital project. that was nice. cause i definitely didnt understand it all myself. yay. i'm hungry, but i'm just going to go to bed. maybe i should start reading that book i have to write a report on. probably i wont.

5:09 am	i am updating! i turned 21. i went to austin city limits. it was about 106 degrees, but it was worth it cause i got to be in the very front for the decemberists. i could write a lot here about them, but no one would probably really care. they put on a really good show. i was so excited. that's obviously the highlight of the trip for me. sarah was awesome, of course. we showed josh, lee, and sam around the campus some. i miss it there, but i need to be here. but i intend to visit more often now. anyway, we got in really late and i still had homework. then i finished that and realized that i dont have a place to sleep cause lee stole both my mattresses for the hurricaned people. so i decided to just stay up til breakfast and do laundry and stuff. ima be soooo tired during classes, but i can sleep from lunch til dinner. i wish i were a decemberist.

9:54 pm	just a quick update. tomorrow is my last day at work, then i'm leaving for hawaii. we are spending the night with my grandparents in irving tomorrow so we can be closer to the airport for our morning flight. tomorrow my bosses are taking me out for lunch at randy white's barbeque. i dont know why, i didnt pick it, but its the thought that counts, right? its also a food day, which means everyone brings something and we eat all day instead of work. like i was gonna do any work on my last day anyway. but i will definitely be missing my paycheck. and i'm so taking my name plate. thats it.

10:24 pm	what if i dont? so this week has been...up and down. sunday i drove to longview and met up with lee and frew and sam. i really miss these guys. i was talked into spending the night with everyone else at lee's brothers house. i slept on the floor, but it was worth it. then i drove them to the airport monday. oh, and we ate at mcalisters sunday night, so i was happy. my grandpa was in the hospital all week. but we went to visit him on wednesday and he was doing really well. really talkative and kinda hyper. very funny. he hasnt been like that in a long time, so i was happy to see him. he got to come home this afternoon. hopefully the doctors finally got rid of whatever infection he's had all summer. but caspar had to be 'put to sleep' tonight. it was horrible. i couldnt watch. his kidneys had been failing for about a week, and he hadnt eaten since last friday. i miss him so much already. my parents arent doing so well with this either. i am thankful though, that he died of old age and not from 'the accident' last year. also, i am relieved that my parents could make this decision, because i know that i couldnt. planning death is a horrible thing. my dad is taking me shopping tomorrow, i think because he thinks it will cheer me up some. i'm not sure. anyway, paige's baby is due tomorrow and that's happy. also, i have three more days of work, and then i leave for hawaii. then i go to north carolina and then back to school. being busy is good. greenville people: i'm here til thursday morning, then i'm back the 19-20th. then out and back for the 26-27th. call if you want. trevor, hope i didnt completely miss that week you're in town. i've got nothing else. goodnight.

12:20 am	i think that you should spend some time alone..... ...but if you wont, then you wont. today at work was fun. i like it when we all just get bored and give up. we made a shark out of a fuselage and took an hour to decide what charge number we should use for our work today. fun stuff. oh, and i got my name plate this week so thats nice, now that i'm leaving soon. i feel like a real grown up person who has a job and wants their name on everything. then i ate pizza and watched people play some poker. i am bad luck. but i wish i could have stayed longer, cause it was more fun to just watch than i thought it would be. i just saw 'the island' with sarah. i like how there were two ewan mcgregors. that was nice. now i'm sleepy. oh, and i got presents, in the form of sangria (a.k.a. nectar of the gods) from ted and david and justin! although i think justin was kind of out of it, and very distracted by a bug. it was like the three wise men. i really wanted to pick on justin again here, but thats too easy and he doesnt even read this. then the geese got run over. i found this quite amusing. my mother did not. next time, take that stupid face off the tree too. i was just talking to fREW on aim, but my internet is stupid, i think, but its ok cause i'm really sleepy. i'm driving fREW and lee and sam to the airport in a little over a week! exciting. then i'm going to north carolina to hang out with more LU people. all of a sudden, i'm super busy. i did want to spend a little more time at home after hawaii to see people, like trevor, and paige's baby, and everyone else. eh, it will all work out somehow. goodnight all.

10:27 pm	yawn... just writing cause i havent in a while. nothing new. i bought a bunch of cds a couple weeks ago. i am currently hooked on ben folds and ozma. but thats just this week. next week will probably be different. today at work we found out that we cant use any of the drawings or part numbers that we've been working off of. this means my summer has been wasted. but i got paid and i'm out in 3.5 weeks. because of this latest fiasco, we didnt really know what to do this afternoon, and my boss told me to model my shoe in unigraphics. it was pretty weird, but that shoe looked pretty good when i was done with it, if i do say so myself. also, L-3 tried to take $4,500 out of my total earnings for some life insurance thing i didnt even sign up for. i finally got that straightened out today. who needs accidental death and dismemberment coverage anyway? not me, according to my dad. i've been having lots of dreams lately. i think its cause i've been reading 'alice in wonderland' before i go to bed. i watched donnie darko the other day. that made me happy. i told my friends how lee is funny about his jacket. i saw the funniest commercial ever yesterday. well maybe not ever, but in a long time. other people should update. keep me occupied for a few minutes. thats it. goodnight.

5:50 pm	i'll have a coke so i had a dream last night, and i actually remembered it, which never happens. therefore, this is cause for an update. so it went like this. i was at some emply building downtown with ted and justin. i think it was supposed to be the laquinta, cause we were there through the night. there was this really cool old cash register thing. justin stole money out of it for the chick-fil-a when ted wasnt looking. then it was morning and my parents came to pick me up for some reason. we walked across the street into a drug store where boondock saints was playing on a movie theater screen. i started to get all excited about it and i told my mom i really wanted to see it. so she said we could all stay. then i warned her about the language and violence in the movie, and she gave me an "i'm really dissappointed in you" look. so the movie starts, and instead of the real boondock saints, its a remake, starring some...mentally challenged guy and collin farrell. i hate him. and my mom was hitting me every time there was cursing, so that hurt after a while. anyway they screwed up the movie and it sucked, so a little ways into it we left. we got up to leave and as we're walking out i pull some chapstick or something out of my pocket. my mom starts freaking out because she thought i was shop-lifting. i explained that i wasnt and she said something like "well if you watch that movie, i just thought you were the kind of person who would shop-lift. i bet you're drinking and doing drugs too." i'm not sure what this all means, but i'm open for interpretations. it probably means i have issues with my mother, which i already knew.

10:41 pm	so i really wish i had something to update about....but i dont. the 4th was good. it was just a small gathering: swimming, cook out, fireworks, etc. and i got to see megan and paige, so that's always good. paige is having a baby in less than a month. i would be freaking out. the baby shower was fun. i lost by a lot at some party game. i hate losing. but then i won the next game so that made everything better. my grandma is out of the hospital, so thats good news. she made me dinner. yum. i talked to james and frew on the phone. i really wish i could just drive around and visit people all summer. i have 32 hours of paid time off, but i dont think thats quite enough to visit everyone. i could probably go somewhere though. and, (i'm stretching to find things to write about here) i went to the dentist. only instead of giving me nitrous oxide (which i love) they shoved photo paper in my mouth and took pictures (which i hate). then they told me to floss. and i had to stay late at work to make up for it. why is the dentist the only doctor i go to for regular check-ups? oh, and i have to have my wisdom teeth out next summer. fun. so thats it. i'll let you know if anything exciting happens. dont hold your breath.
