They all look like ants from here!

I really don't use this thing anymore. How sad. Probably because I'm in contact with most of the readers in other places. That's okay, though. It's still a good place to vent.

Have I mentioned how much I hate the Broncos right now? They just sucked a huge pair of balls last night. I wish someone would pay me millions of dollars to suck that badly. Of course, I can't throw for shit so I probably shouldn't be talking...

Yeep

There is a huge spider in my room. It's body alone has got to be 1/3" in diameter.

I trapped it under a cup and I would be content to leave it there but it's in a bad place. I'll probably knock it over in the middle of the night when I try to get to the bathroom. How scary would that be?!??! It would scurry all over and I'm totally blind without contacts or glasses!

I really don't wanna move the cup. I hate spiders!

omg

Dear Professor Rassler,

Please stop being a douche and giving me WAY TOO MUCH homework.

As much as I love doing this crap, I have other classes to tend to.

Thx,

I'll start out by saying that I have a really bad cold. I think I know who's at fault. Well, to clarify, I think I know who stressed me out enough that I actually got sick. As far as who physically gave me the cold, I have no ideas.

I got my hair cut the other day and my head feels 10 pounds lighter. People with thin hair should never complain in front of me again. They have NO idea. lol.

I literally have 12 people I was supposed to call within the past week.... and I haven't called any of them. I have pretty much spent every free moment shopping. I am quite tired and I'm sure it hasn't helped my cold at all. Luckily my shopping is over.

My family is going to Nathan's parent's/parents' house for dinner. I'll be honest, I never know if I should treat parents as a single entity or what so forgive my spelling. So yes, we'll be there.... and I'm not looking forward to it but whatever. I'd love to go into detail but... considering how it was last year, I'll spare everyone this year.

Apparently Nathan's mother told my mother that we're to bring scalloped potatoes. I'm sure that, when my mother asked if there was anything we could bring, she didn't mean major side dish. I'm irritated because I don't feel well and I really don't feel like cooking today. I'd have my mom do it but she's gonna be out shopping till around 4. No matter- I'll do it and it will be fabulous and then I'll be wondering why I made such a fuss.

I am looking forward to giving his family all the presents I bought. I should win an award for my creativity or something. I'm probably unjustifiably proud of myself but what can I say?

I'm super psyched about Christmas day. Nathan's mother has managed to grow up enough to actually share him this year. It's amazing, truly. That said, we're having other family over for dinner. I think there's gonna be 9 of us- which isn't a bad number. We're having lamb!! I"m so happy. We were gonna have prime rib but the one in the freezer probably won't feed 9 people. I'm okay with this because I love lamb and I know that everyone who's coming likes it, too. How pleasant.

To Do List:
- Call all those people you made promises to
- Start biga for the foccacia
- Make sure you have rosemary
- Start scalloped potatoes around 4
- Get ready before so you get to the Davis house on time
- Get the sparkling cider out of the fridge
- Take presents with you
- Pet Chaos
- Take shower
- Fluff hair
- Do laundry
- Finish wrapping Christmas gifts
-- Please do these in a better order than that which is listed

I really need to organize my life better.

Merry Chrismas Eve, everyone!!!!!!!!!!

Top 'o the mornin' to ya!

Have I stayed up all night working on my report and presentation?

Yes

Am I still working on my report and presentation?

Yes

Am I going to continue working on my report and presentation until 11am?

Yes

Am I tired?

Yes

Am I actually gonna be awake enough to present this shit?

I really fucking hope so.....

What do YOU mean by "you people"?

Sat, 06 Dec 2008 07:21:57 GMT

I am literally drinking coffee at 12 in the morning because it's going to take all night to finish this report and get my presentation ready for my class tomorrow.

Whatever part of my brain decided to take an accelerated Saturday course is gonna be cut out!

Wow... I am so tired that I actually typed excelerated and couldn't figure out why the computer said it was wrong. That is really sad.

I can only blame myself, really. There were all these people who wanted to hang out over Thanksgiving break (namely Nathan's family) and I just couldn't say no! I had to spend all of my time being social instead of getting my shit done!

This is a level of procrastination I haven't achieved since high school. *sigh* Now I remember why I decided not to be a douche in college- because it sucks!!!!!

Back to the salt mines and munching on wasabi peanuts.

Happy 6th Anniversary to me!

Whatever

Facebook Update:
Chris convinced me to sorta put my real name up and add a pic. So I fucked around with photo booth and came up with 65 really weird pics. I picked the most normal looking one. That way, anyone who's looking should be able to tell it's me.

This kind of stuff really werids me out. I guess a lot of people do it but I'm not a lot of people.

On a different note, I kinda got a new computer yesterday. My father and his business partner, Bruce, are leasing the newer intel iMac's until August. Bruce ended up not using his so my father just had is sitting on the floor of his office. I managed to convince him to give it to me! Which is totally awesome cos it's way better than mine. I'm keeping mine but I'm gonna use Bruce's for big computer games cos my processor has a hard time with some of the stuff I like to play. That, and I can use the new one for video chat cos it has a built-in camera. So yes, there's a fairly new, $2500 machine sitting on my desk right now. I'll have to take a pic of the two computers together. Bruce's computer dwarfs mine!

Facebook

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 18:55:31 GMT

So back in June I set-up a Facebook account. By set-up I mean I put a name in (not my real name) and a birthday and an email addy... and that's it. I did this because all these people around me asked if I would so I did. Of course, I didn't tell any of them about it. lol.

After much peer pressure and begging, I finally finished setting it up today. I like LJ way better. I feel like I'm the only Facebook person who isn't using their real name or a pic of themselves. I chose a pic of a white peacock cos it's pretty.

I think it's kinda creepy to put my name and pictures all over the internet. Maybe if anyone around me had a name as unique as mine they would understand. I also don't have any pictures of me after I turned 18 so that's why I chose the white peacock.

I feel like I'm giving into some really retarded high school fad... *sigh*

This sucks for than anything that has ever sucked before

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 15:07:43 GMT

It did NOT need to snow today.

BTW, playing a little FF7 on Chris's ps3 last night made life more meaningful :D

Raindrops keep falling on my head...

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 19:58:09 GMT

Yesterday afternoon I spent a majority of my time moving furniture with Chris. Why, you ask? Because his bedroom was flooding. I LOVE apartment complexes. Seriously, there is nothing I would like to do more than help my friend carry his wet furniture into the living room for 3 hours.

Ugh.

Basically a pipe in the heat register was leaking. The leak wasn't very big but Chris's bed is up against the wall so it took a while for the leakage to reach around his bed and out where we would step in it. So gross. It rusted the bottom of his bed, which stained the carpet, and half of his furniture is warped on the bottom- which sucks cos a lot of it is his great-grandmother's.

The maintenance guys came in and pulled up the carpet, removed the pad, and stuck a fan under the carpet to help it dry. Sounds good, right? Wrong! Now the whole apartment smells like mildew. It's really disgusting.

We're gonna see if they'll take off some of next month's rent. It's the least they can do, ya know?

The upside of the entire situation is that the cats had a lot of fun jumping on the carpet. With a fan underneath, the carpet billows up randomly as if it were alive. Of course, the cats do not understand that and are only completely entertained by the whole thing.

At least they live on the ground floor.

Happy Birthday Takeshi!

I'd like to revisit the idea of Mark being the most likable person in the family... or something

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:57:26 GMT

If ever you are up around 22:00 working on homework for the following day, I would NOT recommend doing the following:

Drinking a vodka and cranberry
followed by letting your boyfriend's roommate (i.e. your best friend- other than your bf) make you a screwdriver
.... especially if it's a large screwdriver
followed by watching him play ddr whilst he is tipsy (which is quite funny but very disorienting.. even for you, the observer)
followed by chasing roommate's/best friend's kitten around the apartment in an attempt to get that leftover chicken out of his mouth
followed by watching arrested development and laughing so hard that you both fall off the couch (at all the NON funny parts, I might add)

If you have participated in the aforementioned activities, then you know how I spent last night.

Was I drunk? No- that has never happened. Was I tipsy? Yes. Did I finish my homework like a good little girl? No. Was it awkward in class today when I was trying to explain why I'd have to e-mail the assignment to my prof? Sorta. Did he laugh and tell me it was okay? Fortunately. Am I ever gonna do that again? Probably. Did I have a good time? Definitely. Would I recommend it to others? Absolutely!

Do I need to go to class now- Uh.... dammit, I'm gonna be late!

Must kill whoever

Sun, 21 Sep 2008 06:31:19 GMT

Whoever invented the concept of a family crisis can suck my balls.

Whoever decided to send Nathan off on business while I'm depressed and PMSing can also suck my balls.

And whoever thought it was cool to give me a 2-day migraine can suck my big fucking dick..... and get herpes!

And whoever thought of making me have dreams about Molly still being alive, only so I can wake-up and think her death was just some nightmare, then remember that life really is that shitty, can fucking go to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Omens

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 05:56:06 GMT

Nathan has been working at Invesco Stadium for the past week. Not only did he get to watch Obama's speech, but he actually got to meet him!

This is way too cool for words.

Tis' a flesh wound!

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 01:11:01 GMT

You know, it's always fun to finish one semester of school on a Thursday and then start a new semester the following Tuesday.

If I said that I liked having more than 8 days off between semesters I was lying- clearly. Having only a 4 day break between semesters is brilliant!

Yeah...... no....

WTF ?!?!?!? Are these people trying to burn me out?!?!? I know that the DNC is gonna take over our campus towards the end of this month but can't they just add another week onto the end of the semester instead of the beginning? Or maybe they can cram 16 weeks worth of shit into 15 weeks. Don't tell me it can't be done. I've taken 5 week classes before that didn't last for 4 hours per class like they were supposed to, so I KNOW it's possible!

But yeah... seriously. I really wanted to go camping. It's a good thing that Nathan is out of town on a job. His situation makes my inability to go camping less miserable. I mean, even if I had time, he doesn't.

I have a feeling that this is going to be a very intense semester....

Which is my best side?

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 18:08:10 GMT

So this really awesome thing happened to me Tuesday night. After my ass-rammingly long Chinese class, Genny and I went with our Prof to her office for some extra grammar material. We got up there and who was sitting right outside?

Jay (Jie, if you speak Chinese)! OMG he is even cuter than I remember! He was helping out in our Chinese class often first semester but he disappeared after that. Apparently his parents moved far away so he hasn't been around much but he's back now.

I'm so excited! I'm not gonna leave Nathan for him or anything ;) He's just really sweet.... and hot. Heheh. And he was the only person my Prof brought in to help us that wasn't afraid to tell us we sucked. I need to hear that. I appreciated the fact that the other Chinese helpers didn't want to make me feel bad but.... being concerned about my feelings isn't going to help me speak Chinese well. Jay was actually helpful. And he will be around fall semester to help us some more. Life just got better :D

We're (Genny and I) going to Empress on Saturday for lunch with our Prof and John and possibly Jay and possibly Prof's daughter who's name I cannot spell. John is leaving at the end of August to go teach in China so we're trying to get as much time with him as possible. He's way ahead of us so he comes to help us out a lot. It's a little awkward cos he's like 35 or something but Ulff is almost 37 and I don't have a problem with that.

OMG! I need to get birthday cards out to Tim and Shawn!!!!!!!!!!!

Shit, shit, shit! Gotta do that right now!

Must finish this later.

Every time you go to the John your IQ goes down

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 18:01:30 GMT

So a really weird thing happened to me just now.

I was sitting at my desk working on homework when hunger hit me. I went out to the kitchen and pondered what I wanted to eat. Peering into the fridge, my eyes instantly went to the bacon and eggs... and the english muffins and the cheese. Breakfast sandwich!!!

I got all of my supplies out and began cooking.....

Basically, I cracked the egg open and into the frying pan and BEHOLD! There were TWO yolks in my egg. TWO!!!!!

Keep in mind that I cook more than most people so I've seen just about everything. But never two yolks in one egg. According to Mom, it used to happen more often. They now throw the double yolk eggs away. I got lucky!!!!!!! I wish I had taken a picture but the egg was kinda cooking so it just wasn't possible. I guess this means the egg was identical twins... right?

I just had to share my amazing experience. My life is now a little more complete than it was 30 mins ago :D

The lamborghini then?

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 10:24:22 GMT

I definitely just got back from seeing the new Batman movie. So fucking awesome!

I can't decide if I liked it better than Iron Man. It was really deep and almost hard to watch at times but... that doesn't necessarily make it better. I think it all plays to the hero and what makes him him.

Iron Man isn't the same kind of guy Batman is.

This movie really played to what Batman is all about- the human struggle. It's about internal conflict and making decisions.

Iron Man is really more about going beyond what you are and becoming something/someone meaningful... realization that there is more to life than just what you see.

That said, I think I like the movies equally. They both did a wonderful job expressing what was meant to be expressed.

Batman was a really dark movie, though. Incredible, but dark.

I love the way it's 4:20 in the morning and I'm about as articulate as a dead mouse.... maybe I should try again in a few hours.

It's disgusting how vaginal your face is

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 13:26:59 GMT

Oh how I enjoy getting up early to go to class.

It makes everything so much more pleasant.

And how I enjoy the way the people living above Nathan like to get up and walk around at 5am.

Because the rest of us were just sleeping for the hell of it.

Yeah, piss out your ass onto kyle's mom's fat fuckin' jew face!

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 03:27:55 GMT

So you know how I said I was gonna make my lemon berry tart a couple of days ago?

Well I waited until today... and I took pictures.

And then I had to cut it and I thought Mom was gonna cry.

I'll be honest, it looked much prettier last time I made it. The berries I bought weren't in very good condition but... that's life.

Que sera, sera.

Pull Me Under, I'm Not Afraid

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 02:50:18 GMT

OMFG, I am so freaking excited!!!

My friend, Shawn, who lives in Florida, and whom I've known for over 10 years, is moving to Nevada! We'll be closer! Yay!!!!!

This is so awesome!

This gives me an excuse to fly to Las Vegas. Heh... not that not having an excuse would have stopped me :)

I'd be much happier if he would move to Colorado but... beggars can't be choosers. So NV will have to do.

In other exciting news, I'll be making my famous lemon berry tart tomorrow. I should have made it today for the holiday but I was too lazy when I got home.

I'll have to post pictures of my tart so you can all see how amazing it is.

I'm actually trying to figure out an appropriate dinner accompaniment. Last time I made the tart, I made linguine with prosciutto in a lemon cream sauce with focaccia. It was good but that was a lot of heavy food for 1 day. Not to mention the fact that I literally spent half the day cooking. I think it took me 6 hours to make all that food.

This time I'm thinking crab cakes... or maybe pizza on the grill. Actually, there's this chicken with artichokes and mushrooms recipe that I've been meaning to try. I dunno... I can pretty much do anything. It's just a matter of making a decision. I also considered a crab and scallion quiche but that's another heavy entree. I don't want to kill my parents. The tart already has lots of butter, eggs and whole milk... no need to add more eggs and whole milk.

Speaking of butter, I need to go move the unsalted butter from the freezer to the fridge.

Bwahaha

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 18:23:17 GMT

We have rorf to thank for these wonderful videos!

They're fucking hilarious! BTW, they're kinda perverted so if you're bothered by that then don't watch.

There are 3 parts but they're all the same episode.

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 05:07:32 GMT

This is too amusing.

I just want a picture of a goddang hot dog!

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 06:00:12 GMT

Wow.

That word pretty much sums up the past two weeks of my life.

I have literally spent the past two weeks packing up Nathan's stuff (cos he is in Aspen) and moving it all into a new apartment. I also had to help Chris move his stuff. It wasn't necessarily difficult, just time consuming.

I lied. I actually spent some of that time in class and doing homework. But that's it.

I am hiring movers next time. That's just the way it is.

Nathan and Chris didn't have money for a u-haul cos they spent all their money on the deposit. That said, Chris and I had to make 20+ trips between his house, Nathan's house, and the new apartment.

So yeah... hiring movers.

I am depressed because Nathan is gone and will be for 2 weeks. In Aspen, naturally.

On the bright side, I got to hang out with Devin tonight. We went to dinner at this awesome Thai place. It was SO good. Most of the people in my life are quasi picky eaters and won't eat cool food with me. Devin, on the other hand, is the PERFECT eating buddy. And it's nice that we're getting closer. Of course, he had to ruin our perfect evening by going to see the hulk with Rusty. They did invite me but I said no. It's not that I don't want to see the hulk, it's just that I can't see it without Nathan. He'd never forgive me.
