yellowjackets? the bulldogs eat them for breakfast.

had a good week. not extrememly eventful, but good. would wake up every morning, read a little bit of Memoirs of a Geisha, take a shower, eat. then i'd come downstairs and see what everyone else was doing. thursday, i think, me and mom woke up and went to get our hair cut. mine is now shoulder length and layered, and looks very professional. when i stop procrastinating and looking for a job, this hair should help, honestly. then we went to bed, bath, and beyond, where i never usually shop, but i got a $40 gift card there, so what was i supposed to do? i got some cool pillows and some gourmet chocolate covered pretzels. i would have gotten a UGA blanket, but all the had was GT, the hookers.

then we went to italian oven, since i had a coupon for getting a free meal. twas delicious and family-fied. that doesn't happen often. yesterday, i felt like i needed to get out of the house, so i convinced my dad and kelsie and gracie to go to the movies to see harry potter, even though we've all seen it. but that movie really is a good movie. if you don't focus on how untrue it is to the book. lots of sexy men. oh yes.

and today, i woke up, read some more, and decided that balderdash would be a fun game to put a drinking penalty to. it's new year's eve, everybody, and i'm out for the smirnoff. watch out christian slater, here i come.

numa numa

i love this song. it's like a holiday favorite, i swanny. saturday night, chance slept in my room, only waking me up, oh, every HOUR!. but that was okay, i guess. i finally woke up at 5:30 and just couldn't take getting woken up again, so i stayed up until we opened presents, then watched kill bill vol. 1. i really scored with gifts this year, i swanny, but i won't bore you by going into everything. hours of entertainment, surely. anyway, after we opened presents, we went to my grandma's, where aunt kit, uncle gibbs, and lucy were having their christmas. it's weird, with everything going on with them. i haven't seen aunt kit in over a year. i missed her, but i had nothing to say to her.

i kept feeling like something was missing, and it made me sad. i'm still sad thinking about it. i dunno. i'll think about that some more.

so today, i was supposed to be spending the night with kelsie at gracie's house, but since kelsie's sick, we scratched that idea. so i'm here. tomorrow, i'm sposed to go to the movies with kirstie (at least, since we're leaving the house at 9 am, i'm pretty sure that's what we're doing.) i, being the kind of person who can't wait to give presents (i don't mind receiving), have already given her her present, so she's supposed to give me mine when i see her. i can't wait *smiley face*

i'm actually pretty happy. i made cupcakes last night for gracie's house (which i hope she's enjoying as i write). i also listened to my brand new walk the line soundtrack. i swanny (and this may sound blasphemous), sometimes i like joaquin phoenix and reese witherspoon more than i like johnny cash and june carter cash. only sometimes. mostly, i love them.

but that's neither here nor there when you've got the weezer cd, and you annoy your mom by listening to "buddy holly" nine times in a row...

mmmmm....pizza awaits.

a priest, a rabbi, and a duck. walk into a bar....

this is where i feel like telling bad jokes. i'm bored and my eye is twitching for some reason, so leave me alone and let me tell my jokes, however plagearized they are.

A man comes running into a bar with a teeny tiny piano player with a teeny tiny piano. A guy (Steve) asks the man, "What's with the piano player and the piano.?" The man replies, "There's a Genie outside who will give you anything you ask for!" So Steve runs outside and sees the Genie. He says, "I wish for a million bucks!" BAM! He's surrounded by a million ducks. Steve walks back in the bar, very angry, and says, "That Genie's a crock. I asked for a million Bucks and got a million Ducks!" The man replies, "You think I asked for a twelve-inch pianist?"
*buh duh dun.*

Two men are sitting at a bar. One of the men gulps his drink, rips off his shirt, and jumps out the window. The other man is dumbfounded. Then, the jumping man floats right back through the window. A half hour later, the same man gulps his drink, rips off his undershirt, and jumps out the window. The man sitting at the bar is amazed when the man floats back through the window again. He asks the man, "How do you do that?" The man says, "The amount of alcohol in my blood system allows me to float with the wind currents. Anyone can do it." So the other man, emboldened by this, gulps his drink, rips off his shirt, and jumps out the window, where he falls to his death. The bartender says to the jumping man, "Man Superman, you sure are a mean drunk."

Little Mary tells the Mother Superior, "I want to be a prostitute!" The Mother Superior, shocked, shouts, "What did you say?!?!" Little Mary repeats, "I want to be a prostitute!" The Mother Superios looks relieved and says, "Oh, I thought you said you wanted to become a Protestant."

Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton are on the titanic. When it starts to sink Carter yells, "Quick, save the women and children!" Nixon: "Screw the women and children" Clinton: "Do we have time?

Here lies Richard M Nixon. (So what else is new?)

Yo momma's so fat even if she was the last person alive, the world would still be over populated! Yo mama's so fat, her picture fell of the wall.

I always like to end the day with some yo mama jokes, so there ya go.

get your freak on

yeah, today was pretty good. so was yesterday. and the day before that. pretty good break, so far. let's see, saturday, kirstie came over and we had a fantasmic time together, even if my mom did break the only necklace i like (while sober, no less). yesterday, i got to go to media play (my favorite store which is, unfortunately, closing.) and a got to go to a bunch of other places. today chris woke me up and we went to best buy, circuit city, the mall, and macy's. i helped in pick out a bunch of gifts, and got a gift for myself. i've been looking EVERYWHERE for the bride of chucky, and never found it, and today i found it and chris got it. i watched it a little while ago, and it was as hilarious as i remember it being....ahh, the memories.

then we went to on the border.ommfgs. that was the best food i've ever eaten. i can't even describe it, it was so good.

and me, being the drama queen that i am, couldn't go one day without swearing someone out, a little kid, no less. but the little f***er deserved it. he kept revving up his stupid mini bike and doing donuts in our lot. and he's been throwing glass in the street. little whore, i swanny to gah.

oh, and exams went wonderfully. all of them were easy. if i failed any, i'll be truly shocked.

oh, the title of this post comes from on the border. a song came on, in spanish, obviously. it was spanish techno. strangely, i've heard spanish techno before, so i wasn't entirely shocked, but chris was dumbfounded. it was really catchy, too, so we started dancing. then, suddenly, a big group of people came into the room to eat. we didn't even notice until the song was over. it was the funniest thing ever.

if it weren't for my horse, i wouldn't have spent that year in college. you just remember that....

exams

are not nearly as difficult as teachers make them out to be. i know i've aced all of them so far. at least, i believe so. unless i did something wrong on pe final, but i don't think i did. but that doesn't count, anyway. what counts is that i know i've aced english, geography, and geometry. those were so easy. and from what i hear, bio is really easy. the only one i'm actually concerned about is spanish....

so we'll wait and see tomorrow.

on another (and much more petty) front...our "neighbors" have bought themselves a brand new, 2006, gas guzzling SUV. and yet, they can't move out until august of next year. wtf?

attention k-mart shoppers.

ok. not a good day. not bad, but not good to say the least. waiting on a fairly important response that i'm 95% sure i'm not going to get (at least, in a positive manner.) made cookies, fudge, and choc covered pretzels yesterday. decided i wanted to be a cake designer/chef. went to school. did some silly things. saw a girl stick her hand down her pants, and, when describing it, might have mentioned the word "masturbation" really loud, allowing the whole class to turn and look at me. it wasn't particularly embarrassing, it was just so funny, i wanted to keep telling the story.

what's wrong with me? why can't someone want to go see a stupid movie with me? i don't know. i'm weird. i thought it was gonna happen, but it didn't. i'm just...stupid, i guess.

but whatever. i guess i can always pull a sylvia plath and stick my head in the oven. except, our oven's electric, so i think the worst thing i could do is bake myself. by the way, just kidding.

to prove i'm just kidding, let me tell you about the fudge.

"it looks like crap, but it tastes like paradise."

allright.

isn't he just the cutest thing?

joey is so adorable when he's asleep. i swanny, it's just so dern cute! even if he does have tissues taped to his nose, tissues stained with blood and mucus. i wish i could take a picture and share it with you all, but since i have no digital camera, that cannot be. that would be a good birthday present, come to mention it. even though my birthday's not for another year...but still.

joey's nose is bloody because today was the surgery. he's been having these wicked bad headaches for about a year now, and every time he's gone to the doctor, they've said his head was just super mucusy. so they gave him anitibiotics and sent him on his way. well, the problem never went away, so they did a head CT and found a huge mass of this stuff just sitting in his head (the precise location has eluded me). so today he had surgery to clear it all out.

i feel so bad for him, though. he's going to have to make up finals during winter break monday. that's horrible. and, you know, they whole coughing up blood and nosebleed thing isn't fun, either....

a true story from a true friend's trials and tribulations

Anyway, so, I come out here, and get on the computer. I check all the stuff, email, myspace, etc., and then I see this freakin' centipede lookin' bug thing on the curtains. So, I freak out, and let a couple of obscenities loose. So, I run to the kitchen, and by the time I come back, he crawled down the curtain, and I can't see him anymore. So.. I go to my room and watch some more ROH.

So, I come back, eat some Peanut Butter Crunch, and sit down at the computer. Then, I go to plug my iPod up. After like, 10 minutes of trying, I finally get it, and then I see that freakin' bug on the curtains again. So, I'm ready this time. I'm all like, "Ima' kill you..." You can fill in the rest. So, I run and get some paper towels, and he starts climbing up the cords! So, I'm all freakin' out, because his legs are really freakin' gross. So, he climbs up to the keyboard, and I get a tissue. So, now I got a tissue, and some paper towel. So, he goes under the keyboard, and I move it. And there he is. And I'm like.. blam! So, I hit him wik the paper towel, and he keeps goin', so I do it a few more times. And once, I like, accidentally knock him off the table, so I'm all freakin' out. Then I see him. And the whole time I'm all yellin' at him. I'm sorry if this is a bit jumbled, but it just happened a few minutes ago. Then a get a coaster, and hit him a few times. He's really injured at this point, but still alive. So, I go to the cabinet, and get some Glade, and spray the crap outta' him. It doesn't really do anything, so I get some Windex and do the same. That didn't help much, either. Then, I get some insect repelent, and spray him. By this time, he looks dead, but just to make sure, I rolled over him wik the chair, like, 8 times. So, then I pick him up wik paper towel and throw him in the toilet. Because I'm stupid, I threw the paper towel in, as well, and the toilet is all stopped up now. But, I don't care, because I killed him. Man, I wish someone could have been here to see that; it was the most epic battle I've ever been in. Words cannot decribe his will to live, and mine to kill. Wow.

ray bradbury is on fire! oh the irony!

i liked that book. a little strange, but it piqued my interests. murder. mechanical dogs with venom. "seashells" way before their time. big screen TV with 2 minute programs. fire. fire. and, oh yeah, fire. and don't forget burned out hippies. oh yes, plenty of those. except they were fighting for the "greater good" that is education.

the only thing i hate about this book is that there will be a test over it. why does school have to ruin good books like this? let me give you some examples of perfectly good books that the school system ran over with an 18-wheeler:

  • Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring--J.R.R. Tolkien
  • Call of the Wild--Jack London
  • Cold Sassy Tree--Olive Ann Burns
  • Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry--Mildred D. Taylor
and who can forget the all time classic, Anne Frank's Diary? oh yes. they mutilated that, and I'm sure they horrifed various other prestigious authors with their chapter summaries and vocabulary quizzes. I hear next year they're butchering The Lord of the Flies and Caeser. can't wait.

sing it with me now...

Wish You Were Here--Pink Floyd

so, so you think you can tell heaven from hell, blue skies from pain. can you tell a green field, from a cold steel rail, a smile from a veil? do you think you can tell? did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts, hot ashes for trees, hot air for the cool breeze, cold comfort for change? did you exchange a walk on part in the war for the lead role in a cage?

how i wish, how i wish you were here. we're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year. running over the same old ground. and have we found the same old fears? wish you were here.
