rambling wasp

Oh the joys of finishing up a test and then having to wait around because the professor wants to have an audience so he can hear himself talk. Fucker. Anyway. I think I did well on the test. Better than I had expected...or better than I hoped? I don't know, Scully, you tell me. I am in the computer lab and I am the only one typing so I am making quite the racket, but it also makes me look productive. Haha. Like I am getting anything done. You know what's really cool about this though? One seat down from me is the guy who replaced me here. HAHAHAHAHAHA. He doesn't know who I am, but I know who he is...sorta. I just know that he is in the same suck ass position I was in last year this time.
Oh, Shan, if you read this, I meant to tell you like a week ago, but Big D (I think you know who I am talking about) was at my library about a week or so ago and she got a library card. There is a little back story to the second part of that story. The library has a side door, much like LB does, but someone complained that it was "ugly" because the door was hidden behind a tree, which we liked b/c it was our secret escape hatch, so the city sent over some inmates and the PC garden club came over after the inmates had cleared the brush and planted a garden. Well, for some reason after Big D got her library card she was compelled to dig in the dirt with one other old lady and a couple of inmates. She was sweeping the sidewalk and digging holes like it was her job. Just thought you might be slightly interested. if not, then just disregard the above story. The only reason why I am telling you is that my coworkers were perplexed as to her behavior. I was not surprised at all.
I like coming to the lab now. I think it is because I know I can leave whenever I want to. I liked working in here when I did. I went out for cigarette breaks whenever, I went across the lawn and hung out with Mark, the line cook at the cafe, no one really needed help in here, I was just there to monitor and fill the printer with paper. And on Tues. and Thurs. there are hardly any classes at this campus, they are in JC or Keesler.
I was damn busy at work today. There were tons of kids needing help getting books for reports and stuff. There was a rush in the last hour we were open, which hasn't happened like that since I have been closing. I mean a few people come in from 5-6, but never that many. I would say in that hour there was a good 15-20 people who actually needed assistance and it was just me and Sally. It sucked. I was getting this book, telling this kid to get off the computer, answering this phone, looking that book up for a solid hour. We had to chase the last couple of stragglers out. Sally isn't all about staying after we close. She will flick the lights on and off and stuff. It is great. This 70+ old woman telling you to get the hell out of her library she wants to go home. Hahaha. Well, I better get back. Later....

I don't wanna be your dog

Going to school full time and having a part time job, a full time boyfriend and wanting to have a life in between is really hard. I would say damn near impossible. I have a test tonight which I skipped my first class today to study a little more for, I have two quizes tomorrow and I haven't even begun to look over that material, and I have a test on Thursday and I have missed the last two class periods in that class because of other obligations (like a doctor's appointment or studying for a pain in the ass test) not to mention having not looked at that material either. I have to be at work in less than 2 hours and I won't really get a chance to look over anything for any of my tests until tomorrow probably since I work until 6 and then go to class from 7-10 tonight. I am going to be pretty brain dead at the end of the night. I still have to make sure all my workbook stuff is done for my spanish class b/c the first half of it ends next week and I have to have everything done for that. I think that is all that I need to do that is pressing, but it is enough. Of course all i want to do is hang out with Joel and watch movies, play video games, read my book and maybe pick up a comic book or two, but none of that seems to be happening anytime soon. Plus I have to work this weekend. Damn I am busy this week. And what am i doing right now? Posting how busy I am on my blog. I can't really study anymore right now. My mind wanders too easily. It is too gorgeous outside and feels too nice with the windows open to just stick my nose in a book. I think I will be spending most of my time in the library tomorrow, hopefully avoiding the people I know there so I can study and make a little headway with my school work. I think if I barracade myself in the study lab no one will bother me. I hope so anyway. Later......

to his song i'm a slave

It is so awesome outside. It isn't hot, it isn't cold. It is just awesome. It is rarely like this here. It is usually fantastically hot or fucking freezing. Joel posted some songs from a recent show that he performed on his website for all to enjoy, and may I just say it would be in your best interest to check it out. He is awesome.
He and i went and hung out with Robby and Brad and Shanna for beers and hamburgers and video games. We decided that we wanted to go and try to see the sneak preview of Jack Black's movie School of Rock. It was really funny. I highly reccommend that as well. It had a good message in this day and age of crappy music. I was so lazy this morning i stayed in bed an extra half an hour just because it felt so good in the house with all the windows open and the smell of fall penetrating everything. Well, i gotta get going and shower and stuff. Later....

tape loop

Oh, I wanted to post again because I just remembered something that totally disturbed me. It was painfully horrible. I don't really watch television anymore. I watch maybe an hour of it a day religiously. Those shows are The Family Guy on Adult Swim and X-Play on Tech TV from 10:00-11:00. Well, next week it is going to be X-Play and then Futurama because X-Play is switching times, but that is irrelevant. Moving on...I was hanging out over at Sean's house and he, not having cable but having rabbit ears on his tele, was watching some show on FOX. I can't remember the name of the show, but it was something along the lines of Performing As.... The primise of the show was that people who were...for lack of a better word, freaks...performing as their favorite musicians. For example, a lady who was blonde and had a big nose and who loved Barbara Streisand dressed up and performed as Barbara Streisand. There was also Freddie Mercury, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, and Madonna. The Barbara Streisand chick performed as Streisand and even did the weird mouth shapes and movements that Streisand does, the Frank Sinatra guy just pretty much dressed up like Ol' Blue Eyes and sang New York, New York, Freddie Mercury guy looked like an Duracel person version of the lead singer from queen, but with even more stage make-up on, the Madonna chick was too fat to be wearing the outfit she was wearing, Tina Turner looked like she was a crazed fan girl stalker, and Aretha was about two times bigger than the real Queen of Soul. Now these things were not the only things that were disturbing. There was something else. In watching this painfully bad show, I started to notice the audience and how they were cheering and hollering a whole lot. Almost too much. I listen closer. Sure enough, the cheering and the clapping and everything was a tape loop. It was the same cheering and clapping every 3 to 4 seconds. I look at the members of the audience when the camera pans around, there were about 150 people in the audience. Not enough to make that kind of cheering. Also the people who were in that crowd looked like they were taken in from the streets and told they would get $50 to stand in this studio and look like they are enjoying the performances. I noticed a couple of people who had stopped trying to look like they were enjoying the show and just looked bored, tired and hungry. I don't really know what to think about that. I mean I know television is fake and everything, but damn. They just aren't really trying anymore, are they?

arts and farts and crafts

I have written an entry other than the last one posted, I just never got around to posting it. I am still around. Nothing too much going on. I have pulled a tendon pretty bad in my left hand, so it has prevented me from typing as much as I would like to. I am damning it right now and just typing anyway. I'll probably pay for it later. I think it is pretty bad this time, like enough to warrant a trip to the doctor soon to see what is up. I have severe pain in the joint below my thumb and the joint below my pinkie finger. Yesterday the pain jumped up my thumb from time to time causing wimpering on my part, but I can still function like the rest of wthe world. I just have a gimp hand. Hehehe. I got one of Joel's birthday presents in the mail today. I am horrible about keeping secrets or surprises, but I have kept this one thus far. He knows that he is getting something, he just has no idea what it is. I am still debating on whether to give it to him now or wait for his birthday. I usually can never hold out so he may get it today or tomorrow. I am so bad about that. I like to make people happy now, not wait until later. I mean why put off to tomorrow what you can do today. Really. I know why...procrastination. A good word in of itself. Such a big word to mean so little. Anyway...Joel and I are going to to the the Art in the Park festibal in the Pass this afternoon. I just want to go to look around, hang out, maybe buy some crap, and look around at the shops in the Pass. I think it will be cool. Well, thats about it. As you may have noticed I am in a much better mood than I was a few days ago. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my sucky days. If I could I would skip them all together. Well, I'm off to take a shower and nurse my hand a little bit. Later....

bitch fest posted again

GODDAMNIT. Okay. i just had an entry on here about the things that have happened thus far in my day to not improve my already bad mood. add on that this lost my entry to my cat peeing on my bed, me having to change my set out once again b/c it was bent and I wasn't getting the insulin that i need, sitting through a boring nutrition class that I slept through half of, the fact that I have 4 hours at work, an hour and a half of which will be with loud, annoying kids in grades k-6 all wanting to get on the computer and three hours of Dr. Smith talking about god only knows what, but I know it isn't world civ and my wrist hurts like a mother-fucker b/c of some tendon and I am tired and don't feel all that hot to begin with....I have had a peachy day.

things I highly recommend...

...making love with the blinds open and lightening flickering across the sky.
...kissing him with one hand on the door knob and one hand on the back of his neck.
******************************************************************
Had a pretty good weekend. Had to work on Saturday as you might have noticed, but it wasn't that bad. I got some school work done so that was something good that came out of it. We went Saturday night and saw Underworld. Good special effects, bad plot and progression of the story. It's worth watching at least once I think. At least a rental or a free show or the cheap time at the theater. Lots of gore and blood and shooting if you like that sort of thing. The only time I reacted to the movie was during the changing scenes from human to werewolf, I would say that they were impressive if nothing else. At least compared to the other movies or shows i have seen a human change to a werewolf in. Which, surprisingly is quite a few. Well, I have class in a little while, so i better get going. Later all....

ah-choo

Work. Bleh. Just a few more hours though. It isn't passing too slowly. I managed to finish my homework for my history class. Joel brought me lunch, which was sweet and lovely of him. I like it when he brings me lunch. :-) I started searching for books to help gain back creativity in writing. I figure it can't hurt, and perhaps it will help me see things in different ways. I am reading like a mad woman lately. It makes me really happy to pick up a book and just read and relax. I am reading one of them now while at work. It's pretty good so far. I can relate to the author's train of thought. Pretty slow day today. Not too many people coming in. The computers are busy, as per usual, but that's it.
Joel and I hung out with Kevin last night. He's cool. He and Joel have a lot in common. We went out and had chinese food and went back to Joel's and played video games and watched Start Trek TNG and CSI like the dorks we are. After he left, Joel and I hung out a little longer before i had to go home to bed b/c I had to be here this morning. I changed my pump set this morning by myself for the first time. It went okay I think. It is going to take a little getting used to. I wasted a lot of insulin when i primed it to get all of the air out, but better to do that than to get some air injected into me. That's about all I think. Ewww. some guy at one of the public computers sneezed all over the computer and the keyboard. Note to self, don't use that terminal. Gross. Later...

awww, look. her first beer.

Half of my morning and afternoon at work. I did not want to get up this morning. I had my first beer, well, half of a beer, last night. I was buzzing pretty hard for just a half of a beer. I was feeling good. People took pictures. Half of them didn't realize how big of a deal that was. That's cool though. Good seeing Kristyn again. Bryan is very quiet, but I could totally understand why. You really can't just walk in that house and expect a quiet time. I think Joel and I are going to go and get some Chinese food tonight. Other than that I have no idea what are plans are for tonight. Tomorrow I think we are meeting up with Zack and Laurie (who I haven't seen in at least a year and a half, if not two years) and we are going to the movies to see Underworld. I am excited about seeing Laurie again. She was pretty cool. Hmmm. Not much else going on. I have to go to a doc's appointment this afternoon after work. Bleh. Well, I'm out for now. Later.

non-eating

I was so hungry last night, the processed cheese was looking damn good. But my sugar got low enough to merit me eating something, so I ate a bowl of oatmeal and that gave me satiety. I when I woke up this morning I was starving though. I gobbled down some cereal and then felt better. I hope I don't have to do any more of that not-eating for an extended period of time thing any more. It sucks. Big time.
Kristyn is supposed to be in town today or tomorrow. I don't remember which. I suppose someone will call me though. We'll see.
I haven't seen anyone from the "group" for an extended period of time in a few weeks I think. I did go over there Monday night to pick up some mail, but didn't stay too long. I had to come back here to meet Joel. I did offer to bring over Old School last night for them to watch or for all of us to watch, but no one seemed interested. Joel and I went to Wal-Mart instead and he bought an extra memory card for his GameCube since his games he ordered should be getting in any day now, and he also bought some CDRs since he was out. I got a purse to fit all my supplies and stuff in, in case I have to change my set out on my pump. I don't want to carry my huge book bag around everywhere with all my crap in it and my books. We have been so busy in the last couple of weeks. Joel had rehearsal, I had a ton of school work to catch up on and do, tests to study for, work to go to, my dad to worry about. I wish I could get over there and hang out more often, but by the time I get home, sometimes I don't want to do a damn thing but relax, read or watch a little tele or maybe play a couple of video games. Joel and I having to drive here and meet there and go here tires us out more than anything, I think. I can't wait to get our own place. It is going to make things so much easier. Well, I guess I'm out. Later....

day one: rang bell, cat answered door.

Day one on the pump. Not bad. I did get frustrated last night and almost started to bawl, but one look from Joel and how much that would have broken his heart to see me unhappy stopped the tears from falling too quickly.
Guess what? Hehehe. I can drink. In moderation. I asked the nurse today if, while I was eating, I could have a glass of wine or a beer. She said that as long as I eat something before hand or while drinking and check my sugar up to an hour afterwards that there shouldn't be a problem with that. You have no freekin' idea how cool that is. I have never really drank in my whole life. If you add up all of the alcohol I have consumed in my lifetime it would probably only be about 1/4 of a cup. A sip here, a sip there. Now I can have an entire beer or glass of wine. This should be interesting. The nurse (Beth) said that it will be trial and error pretty much since alcohol lowers the blood sugar. I will have to see how it affects me and if and how i need to compensate. Now the only problem is how many people are going to try to wrestle the beer out of my hand. Everyone knows that I can't drink. Well, couldn't. They probably won't believe me. "Sure, Jessica. The doctor told you it was okay to drink. Uh huh. Whatever." Haha.
Joel and I have played some pretty good Harry Potter TC games lately. Long lasting and close games. I think we are about even in wins and loses. Not that it really matters. Just stats really. X-Play last night was cool. Morgan looked hot as usual. She went to an Anime convention (apparently pronounced ah-ni-me by cool people.) and hung out with all the dorks there. It was cool. They talked about Lunar which is Joel's favorite game ever. I loved it when I played it. It was the first game I ever played all the way through. It kicked ass. Well, I better go and get some stuff done. Later all....

over slept

Last hour at work and then it is off to class. Quite an eventful day today. My stomach is churning from it all. Bleh. Let's see. Where to start. This morning I had a doc appointment at 8:20. I woke up at 7:57. So I had to jump out of bed and call the doc's office to tell them to give me a few extra minutes, I would get there. Normally I wouldn't fret, but today was my pump initiation day, or first day using my pump. I spent half the morning at the doc's office learning how to use it and hooking myself up to it. I got out around 11 and headed over to the hospital to see my dad and eat lunch with him. My mom was there and they said that he could go home today. So he is home now and doing fine which is good. Takes a little load off my mind and maybe now Englebert will shut the hell up. I had never heard a cat make so much noise and whine so much. I really don't want to go to class. I think I am going to cut out during the break tonight though. I need to go and turn in my paper, but with me newly being on my pump, I am kind of afraid to go and have to sit through class. Especially this one. If my sugar gets really low and I don't notice it at first there could be trouble. Like me passing out or acting all drunk in class. No good. Of course i will look and find any excuse I can to not go to this class and hang out with my boo-bear. Hehe. But I can't, or rather I'm not supposed, to eat anything after i eat dinner tonight. Which could pose a problem later. Well, it is starting to pick up a bit in here. The last minute rush before we close...in 45 minutes. haha. Later.....

air hockey and show tunes

I don't know why I wasn't there. Okay, I lied. I do know why I wasn't there. It was for a few reasons which you already know, or should know. I am sure it was a fun party, though.
Still hurry up and wait on my dad. The docs want him to not have a fever for over a day before he comes home.
The week starts new and the same old stuff starts again. School, work, school, work, Joel inbetween when we can see each other. It will be a little easier now that there is no rehearsal. I don't go anywhere, really. I have to work this weekend so that rules out a lot of stuff that I would like to do. Que sara sara.
I have been quite defensive and hostile lately. I think I do need to get out and do something. I don't feel like I am doing much of anything other than what is required of me. But at the same time, being defensive and hostile makes me want to just stay inside.
We did go to Sean and Bonnie's after the show on Saturday. Bonnie and I talked about her going back to school in the spring, which is awesome. Sean and Joel played air hockey on Sean's new air hockey table. They played until sweat blinded them and their arms wouldn't move anymore. You can't be in the same room as they are when they play. Pucks fly everywhere. It's like full contact air hockey. It whizzed by my face a couple of times at least, and I was a good distance away. Anyway, that was nice to go out and hang with people we hadn't seen in a while. We were there really late, too. We had to pretty much go striaght to bed when we left there. It was 1 or 2 in the morning and Joel had another show the next afternoon. Well, I am off to dry my hair and eat lunch before going to class. Later...

all of those dancers on that little stage??

Performances, preformances. I went to all three of Joel's shows this weekend. Well, what else was I going to do? It was a pretty good show. I could have dealt without the kids and the dancers though. Friday I went with his mom and sister and hung out with Hilary (said sister) for a bit. She's pretty cool. She is going to be damn awesome when she gets older. That girl will go very far. She cracks me up. Last night I met up with Craig, his wife Laulette (sp?), Kevin and Suzette and saw the show with them. They work with Joel and I have heard so much about them, and last night was my first time to meet them all, with the exception of Suzette which I met before when Joel and I went to the movies with her and Zack, another guy from work. They were really cool. Very, very nice people. I hope to hang out with them again. I went this afternoon with my mom. She had never seen Joel perform before. She loved it.
Crazy fucking weekend. I was all looking forward to relaxation, but my dad's infection in his intestine came back and he had to go into the hospital again on thursday night. It was only one night of worrying, though, he settled down a bit by friday and now it is just at the hurry up and wait point of seeing how the infection is doing and if they need to do surgery again or not. So far so good though, but they are talking of him having that colostomy bag forever now instead of him having the surgery to reverse it next month, but we shall see. I would rather have a healthy father with a colostomy bag than an ill father without one, you know? Well, have to go for now. Joel is on his way over and I would like to finally spend a nice evening with him. Later....

September 11, 2003

so I'm done with that too, huh?

Do you have any idea how long it has been since I have had time totally to myself that I could do whatever with? A very long time. I am usually either with Joel (which is great, awesome, stupendous. He is my other half, the continuation of me.) or if i am not with him I am usually scurrying to get something done, like a report or some homework or errands that i don't want to bore him with. Tonight, however, I am all by myself with nothing of importance to do. I wrote the paper that I had to do by Tuesday while i was at work, my other homework is done...that's it. That's all I had to do and now it is done. I didn't know what to do with myself. I found myself cleaning my bathroom from top to bottom, and then I did something that I haven't done in several months. I took a nice, long, hot bath, as opposed to a shower. I read a chapter or two of my book and washed my hair and just relaxed in the bathtub. Now I am sitting at the computer, talking with Stephen online and searching for something to occupy my time.
This week has been crazy. Joel has been at rehearsal every night this week. I have hardly gotten to see him. It is times like these that the want (at least on my part) of us moving in together grows quite great. It would make things so much easier on both of us. We would get to come home to each other, we wouldn't have to worry about the length of time that we are at one another's house b/c we have to get up to be at work or school the next day. We would save on gas and our energy. Last week we got a taste of what that will be like while housesitting for his parents, and it was wonderful. We worked quite well together. Took care of each other...i got more things done while staying at his house than I ever would have had I been staying at my house. I felt that once we do move in together (right now it seems like forever away.) that we will work like a well oiled machine. Hell, i even picked up his room while i was there and still had time for a nap. If you have ever seen his room you would know what a feat that was. Granted it was messy 15 minutes later, but the effort was there. We get along so well. It is crazy-incredible. Considering how much and how hotly we fought in the past. We are pretty much the same person. Don't even have a second thought about anything considering each other really. It totally amazes me how our relationship has evolved after 6 years of friendship. He is my best friend and my lover. He even puts the toliet seat down after he uses the bathroom. I love him. A lot.

Crazifornication

I didn't get to see Joel last night, but he came over this morning and that made me smile and happy. I was all lazy and stayed in bed for most of the time, but I did eventually get up and got dressed and made it to class. I can not get over how good this page looks. He is awesome!
I am so tired. I got a lot done last night though. I recieved my pump in the mail yesterday so I started looking at it and playing with it. I began watching the instructional video and reading all the material that came with it. I start on Tuesday and I am very excited. I wrote half of a paper that is due next week and finished up some Spanish homework I had and now I am waiting to go to work. When I get back from work i will finish up my paper and then it is relaxing time. I need it. Badly. I am so damn tired. I woke up at 4 this morning with really low blood sugar so I ate something and it took me another hour to get back to sleep, and then it was restless sleep, I woke up several times between 6 and 8 sweating like mad. My hair and body were drenched, come to find out my sugar was even lower than it was at 4 a.m. Crazy freekin' Lantus. No more of that after Monday night. Yay!
My pump is pretty and blue and smarter than I am. Ha. That is a good thing. I have decided that I am going to start taking better care of myself. I have been thinking about going back to yoga or something. Perhaps I shall join Shannon in walking during the evenings. It will help both of us I am sure. I need to get everything with the pump sorted out first, though. The instructional video for the thing is 2 hours long. I watched the fist half or so last night. It is so cool. If you had any idea how this is going to change my life....sheesh.

new look...

My page looks AWESOME!!!!! My baby is the greatest. I have soooo much homework to do and I am at work. I have done some of it, but I am so tired and my brain is so dead. Bleh. But I am at work which means a little more money, which is good. I will have to start writing my history paper tonight. I would like to get it done as soon as possible so I will have more time to play. My baby has rehearsal tonight again. I hope it doesn't run too late. I would like to see him for more than 2 hours a night. But the show is this weekend so that is good. That means things can go back to normal, or as normal as they get for us. Not much else going on. Laters....

back to Russia...

Clothes for Jessa! I love making new friends. I love it even more when my new friends are about my same size and are cleaning out their closets. Jeans that make my ass look good and shirts that accentuate my curves. I am a happy girl.
Joel has rehearsal every night this week and performances Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Busy week for my baby.
I got my first test back today. It was in my Spanish 101 class. Oh, yeah, I made 100, with an extra bonus point to spare. That is encouraging me to pull my GPA up a bit and try to go for as close to 4.0 as I can.
Was invited to a get-together in which I either a.) don't know anyone (I should really say was never really introduced to them and they nor I had the interest to do it either.) or b.) don't really like anyone with the exception of maybe 3 people. I think I will pass. I am going to see Joel perform anyway.
I get my insulin pump this week...updates as they come.
I had a fucked up dream last night. Later, when I have more time and energy, I may transcribe it on here. It was fucked up. Trust me. Well, have to go and look over my notes again for a quiz and eat something before going to class again. Then it is off to the library where hopefully no one I know is working tonight. Later...

lump in my throat

I am feeling better today. I have had an awesome week with my baby. Last night we ordered pizza and just chilled at his house all night. We aren't the type to go out too much. We are usually too wrapped up in ourselves to really notice much. I am very sleepy at the moment. I did not want to get out of bed this morning. Joel was in bed looking all comfortable while I was getting ready. He looked so cute. I wish that I was there with him now.
I was feeling pretty bad yesterday, well, not bad, but uncomfortable. The big lump in my throat is down quite a bit. It doesn't bother me too much when I swallow, but I still feel it a little bit. Saturday morning at the library. I was a little late coming into work this morning because I got caught by a long ass slow train. Jan was worried since i went home sick yesterday that I wouldn't be here. My boss even called my house to make sure i was okay and to say that the other part timer would work for me this weekend. I wasn't home though. I was at Joel's doing my homework and drinking hot tea to sooth my throat and taking it easy so I would be okay to come to work today. I feel fine other than being really tired. I was just glad that I didn't get the stomach virus that seems to be going around. I am going to be careful just in case though. I could develop strep throat through this sinus stuff and that would not be fun at all. I think Joel and I are going to go to Brad and Shanna's for dinner tonight. I am supposed to call Sarah, so I will see what she is up to and if i can go and get the clothes she has for me tomorrow instead of tonight. I don't want to go over there if I become or am sick since she has a little girl, and she said her daughter has a stomach virus so it may be next week sometime that we meet up. Well, I think that is it for now. Laters....

positive things on a cereal box

This week has been wonderful for the most part, leaving the house aside. Joel and I have just been chilling with a house all to ourselves. When we finally live together on a permanent basis I think it is going to work quite smoothly. His puppies wouldn't go to bed last night until I said goodnight to them. I thought that was so cute. They knew someone was here, they just hadn't seen me b/c i didn't come down stairs to see them.
As I was having a snack last night I noticed that on the back of the cereal box is positive reinformcement for adults. The cereal box is pretty much telling you to have a good day before you leave for work. I thought that was kinda neat, then I thought about the kind of society that has positive reinforcements on cereal boxes....do we hate our jobs and/or our mornings so much that we some positive reinforcement that everything is going to be okay, even from a cereal box?
My sinues are acting way crazy. My right gland in my throat is swollen a bit. It is uncomfortable, and I am the biggest baby when it comes to shit like that. if i am uncomfortable I am so miserable. It's like shoot me now and get it over with.
I hope everyone is doing okay. Oh, Shan, we will try and get the Family Guy dvds to you this weekend. It really depends on how I feel and if i want to venture out of the house. I think Joel and I are going to go and get Chinese food tonight, though, maybe we will drop it off then.
Okay, laters....

cat nappin'

*yawn* Waking up at 7:15 a.m. is no fun, but sleeping an hour or so in the afternoon is. I got up early this morning to go to the doc's office. He told me I needed to check my sugars more often or else the company who is going to give me the insulin pump may refuse my request b/c I don't show enough drive to maintian my blood sugar. I could go off on a tangent about this, but he is sort of right. I do check my sugars though, at least 3-4 times a day. I am supposed to 4-6 times a day. When I get my pump it will be 8 times a day when i first start out. Being on the pump is going to be a lot easier in the long run, I just have to work really hard to get it and to maintian it at first.
After I got through with my doc. appointment I went back to my house and did some things for my mom while waiting for class. I ran some errands (the bank, get an inspection sticker, go to the business office to get a deferment signed) and then go to class. It is my Spanish 101. We had a test in there today. Sarah and I went over the material a little before class and she bought me bottled water and both of us some gum to chew on while taking the test. I aced that thing. It didnt take me 10 minutes to take it. I was the first one done, as always, and the first to leave. It wasn't even 2 yet. So I came back up here to Joel's house to lay down for a little while and just chill, which I did and slept for a little over an hour I think. I don't remember exactly when I fell asleep, though. I have been playing the LoGD game a little. I already died once and came back. I don't think I am very good at it. I get my ass kicked and don't have any gold or anything to buy weapons or armor with so I am just in some pajamas and using my fists to fight. I am only level two and I need a shit load of experience points to go any further. At this point it is kind of tedious and boring, but I may be doing it all wrong. My boo-bear will be heading home soon, I think. I better go and wash the sleep off my face. Hehe. Later...

who? what? huh?

Quick entry on my break between class and work and then class again. Bleh
I have posted a few things and taken them down. Maybe you noticed, maybe not. Anyway, I did that b/c i have been meddling in other people's business b/c i have little else to do. I shouldn't really do that since i don't know the situations I talk about fully. I don't think I really have to, but it is better to know things in full before shooting my mouth off.
I went and hungout and studied with a friend i made in one of my classes. She is super cool. I think that we will become pretty good friends. She has a two year old daughter who is just way too cute. We have a lot in common. She is an English major like I am, just a couple of years older than me. She wants to get her doctorate and go and teach over seas. That is awesome. She is super, super nice as well. I am glad we met.
We watched Bowling for Colombine the other night. Very, very good documentary. I highly recommend it. We hung out with Robby and played F-Zero for the gamecube. It is such a pretty game. I also recommend that game for anyone who likes that stuff. Well, I don't think that there is much else to talk about. I'm out. Later...
