Don't run with that, you'll poke...nevermind *\(~_o)

Yeah, yeah. I suck at updating my blogs. meh. I went to Puerto Rico at the end of the July. It was nice, but I couldn't really speak to anybody. I'll post pictures on my photobucket one of these days.
Started school at CSU and they screwed up a bunch of my paperwork so I had to apply for emergency loan and pay out of pocket. It was and is weird seeing all these people from CHS walking around. I recognize all of them, but they don't remember me. I guess that should be expected, since I've changed a lot, at least in appearance. Schmitz sensei didn't even know me until she heard me speak.
Still working at the coffee shop, thought my parents want me to quit. They seriously doubt it will be in business for too long. I'm actually the last original member of the full time/ morning group. It's me and a new girl, who is very interesting. Our happy arguments entertain the people who come in, but she and I both take it too far for each other on occasion. It keeps things interesting between the rushes. I'll speak more on my adventures some other time.

Greetings on the 4 of July

I finally got paid yesterday night, but can't do anything with it until Tomorrow. Blah..Poor Puck was in my car for so long that part of his hair faded to white and he doesn't have brown eyes anymore. They're a strange milky color. I think he looks cool, but others would most likely find him scarier than he was before. Oh well, he's still my puck.
My sis-in-law is gone. Love her and the kids, but 2 months is just way too long to try and entertain 2 little kids. Although I really do not know why she bothered going back when she's driving back down again at the end of July. My dad is just glad her dog is gone. I think he would've tossed the dog out the kitchen window if he found anymore poop.
I finally was able to get back in contact with DJ and Lexi and we've been hanging out for the past few days which is great because it gets me out of the house. I keep slipping into my bad habit of locking myself into my cave of a room. I still love the silence, but I'm having some trouble readjusting to the kinda lonely way things used to be, before senior year of CHS. It wasn't a bad loneliness, just the comfy rut that comes with constant routine. Let me stop before the flash back swirly-things start to appear.

I've got the shakes from too much coffee

I just finished my first day of training at a coffee shop. They had us try everything made then practice making our own things and drink them, so I've got a wee coffee buzz. I also made some italian cream soda and regular italian soda and rice crispy treats and muffins and cookies and 1 sandwich. The owner people said that we had to at least taste everything so we have a valid opinion of stuff. Tomorrow is the baking practice and Friday is cleaning and review. Then I start working for real on Saturday. Anybody in the Columbus area can come to the family and friends night on Saturday from 6pm to 8, free samples of food and drink.
My nephews have been here for several days and totally screwed up everybody's sleep schedule. They started screaming at 2 in the morning, but everbody is having fun with them. Chocolate, my sis-in-law's dog, has a key phobia because my dad threw a couple of sets near his head.He wasn't aiming for the head, but the floor to teach Chocolate to not go into certain areas.
LATER

I'm home

Yes, after hanging out at with my sis-in-law and nephews, I am home again. My job starts on Wednesday. But there's a catch. She came with me. I followed her for a good chunk of the way, which will not happen again. She just weaved thriugh traffic like she was by herself an dI had to go almost a hundred to find her. It finally caught up with her in an area that she wasn't familiar with and got a little lost. I didn't know this, so I went right on my way until she called and was like I don't no this area. I wanted to say well that's what you get, but I didn't. So yeah I'm relaxing at home wondering if I'll ever get away from all the noise. They'll be gone and I'll hear phatom baby cries. So little to do with so much time.
Later.

I left my mind under a rock in the back yard. It's now dirty.

I've been at my brother's house for a week now helping my sis in law out with the two kids while my brother is in Iraq. I swear, he's not really over there. He's chillin' in the Bahamas or some place nice playing dominos with the other guys. It's the only way he can call people 20 some odd times a day. Yet he's too busy to call or e-mail his sister. BLAH!
Anyway, I was going to leave for home today to start work tomorrow morning, but the people haven't finished building the place yet, so I don't start until next week. Sis-in-law has shingles( a type of chicken pox for those who don't know) , so she needs some help to take care of the boys anyway. Even if she wasn't ill, she would need some help. Those boys have a lot of energy and Julian is growing his baby teeth. I'm not complaining, she gave me artistic freedom in her kitchen. Her parents are jealous because I've been cooking restaurant type food and desserts. Tonight, I get to try my hand at homemade pizza (^o^)*
I also have managed to cause little bits of havoc, but it's not my fault really. As a rule, if you're going to get a tattoo based off an image from an anime, at least try to find out if it has a real world meaning otherwise don't ask for my opinion or I will call you an idiot and give you the correct meaning. Now the in-law family is all arguing about the stupid thing. They asked!
Well now that I've sweated two pounds in the only room in this house without air conditioning, let me practice tossing pizza around.

Greetings

Writing from home and staying here for now. I've got the official acceptance from CSU. So I got to hang out with Peter, Josh, and Lindsay at renfest this past weekend. It was fun I got weapons and they're sharp and very shiny (^_^) I like them! Lindsay got her corset, and Peter got an instrument, but I can't remember what it's called. It was fun. Anyway, after all the traveling, I fond out that I have to travel some more as I have been volunteered to help my sis-in-law with my hellish nephews. This time, I'm also taking her friend with me. Hopefully she likes Arabic music, rock and comedy. Hopefully, I can talk to her before Friday, find out anything, and warn her if she likes gospel, country, or hard core rap.

Happy demon with new horns roam GSU campus

I'm writing you from my ITEC final, on which I got a pitiful grade. Oh well. I made my own new website because of this class- irodrig1.tripod.com. Check it out- almost everybody's pic is on their, or will be as soon as I can get the software onto my computer. Renfest news- Lindsay and I are going to try to go either this weekend or next weekend. If I can either get my interview moved to this weekend or in 3 weeks, it'll be next weekend. If not, it'll be this weekend or in 3 weeks. I'm almost done with my costume. I've just been slacking on my leather top. It's hard to sew leather, but the jewelry and tiger print skirt are done. YAY!!*does happy dance* Now I must go and do other stuff, but I expect somebody to e-mail with days for renfesty fun*does dramatic drop on sofa that mysteriously appeared* I must see you people at some point this year.
LATER

Everybody cheer for this is an update *\(^o^)/*

So much to say after so long a silence. Lets get started!
I started and finished my PPB, which was where I followed a teacher as she taught her class and practice working with students. Those kids were so sweet and they always asked for me to help them read or work on an assignment. I got to learn and see a lot of different parts to teaching and how to work a class. I'm glad I was with this teacher, who was said to be one of the best in this particular school.
I went to New Jersey for a wedding this last weekend. Getting to go was an adventure in itself. At first I wasn't going to be able to go because of a test that Monday. Then I could go with my brother, then I couldn't go because they didn't have enough room, then I could go if my sis-in-law finished her homework, because they had to go as a family, then I couldn't go because they didn't have the money to put the pets in a kennel. I finally could go, but I had to help my sis-in-law take a test and do homework. Blah! But it was worth it to see the family again. My cousins are so big and smart. Catholic wedding services are long and B-O-R-I-N-G. My poor mom had to wear an ugly dress that only she and the bride's older sister wore. My brother got tipsy at the reception and danced. The trip back took forever because my brother and his family had to take a half an hour break every two hours. I got back to Statesboro at 12 on Monday and still made an 80 on the test. Go Me!!
I had to go home this weekend due to car problems. My poor baby was about to fall apart- new muffler, new barring, a new rim, 2 new tires all in one month. It was sad. Today, my parents decided to go to Renfest and take advantage of the 2 for 1 tickets for opening day. We made the mistake of waiting until 10 a.m. to leave and got stuck in lines for about an hour, but I saw a dark elf, lots of men in kilts, and the tightest tops ever!! Too bad I didn't have a camera. But, I did get new horns that are bigger than my old ones and a new top.
BTW, want to go back the 2nd weekend in May. The 4 packs are still available online, but it's going to be 21.25 a person. It's not a bad price for tickets, food, drink, a game, and a $10 off rental. My parents donated they're house for people who need somewhere to stay. I think I'm going to do that since it's only 45 minutes from the festival grounds. Anyway, those who wish to join know where to find me.
LATER

A promise barely kept

Twice in one month, getting better. Next month, 3 updates! Anyway, I'm back in school. Classes are good. Long because they're only once a week, but good. I'm making a different bottom for renfest, out of tiger fur(fake of course). I need to e-mail people to get people to agree on a date for it and reservations for wherever we want to stay. Miss Information won't be fully in until Feb. Who am I kidding? Renfest is April 15-June 4 and all memorial day weekend from 10:30-6. The group tickets aren't up yet, but they have a downloadable coupon for $2 off. I think it would be fun and cheaper if a big crowd goes to camp out. I need new horns(maybe), a tail(definitely), and a top(maybe). Here's the entertainment schedule. Any questions, comments, or issues, you know how to find me. With that out, onto other things, but not today. LATER.

I am alive

Happy 2006 everybody. It doesn't really feel like I've been on this earth for almost 20 years. It also doesn't fell like classes should start back on Monday. What have I been doing this break? The usual, a great deal of thinking, occasionally letting people into the thoughts. Actually I made some new friends here through DJ. Very nice people that let me spend New Years with them while my parents went to my brother's house to help them redecorated. I spent the night sharing a full size bed with 3 other people. The guys should have been in their own room, but people stop caring at 6 in the morning.
Moving a little backward in time, Christmas was spent in the company of family I barely knew and friends of these people. I got everything I wanted and then some. Because of my parent's assistance, I now only need a top for renfest.
Now to the future. I think I'm transferring to CSU next year. If the business plans that Lindsay and I have fail(a nice idea to make and sell home made candles, bath salts, and soaps), then I will definitely be going to CSU in the fall. I just can't afford it anymore.
LATER
P.S. I'll try to update more than once a month.

The hardest thing is...

not having a heart, then getting one and wanting to be rid of it. (A phrase DJ and I came up with sometime ago.) I never used to care like this. Why now? Why have I allowed my opinions to go unnoticed? Allowed myself to fear doing something because of what people will say? I never gave a flying fuck. Why has it changed? I want to walk home in the rain and stand on the balcony just watching the moon. I want to randomly bust out my horns and walk around the campus while holding Puck. Why don't I? How has such simplistic freedoms been given up by me? This is what I think about at 3 and 4:00 in the morning. I think DJ calls me just so I drain his energy and he gets better sleep. No more calls at midnight from him. It's not too much of a difference from the normal amount of sleep I get, but still. Although, I did find out that, while I'm getting more sleep, it's still less then most people. Freaks. How can you waste so much time on something? 2-8 or 9 is fine, that's 6 to 7 hours worth, who needs more than that? How did I end up on sleep patterns? I'll ponder that as I work on other things for tomorrow. LATER

HAPPY SAMHAIN !!! Go trick-or-treat around the dorms and have fun. You may be in college, but that doesn't mean you have to grow up.

Blah feelings

I was up until 3:00 this morning to register for spring classes. Why? Because this school likes to torture its students whenever possible. The good news is that I got all the classes I need. The bad news is that I have classes until 6:15 or 6:50 Monday-Wednesday, but my first classes aren't until 11:00 and there are no Friday classes.
Monday
11:00- 12:50= Intro to Special Education
1:00 - 2:50= Intro to Inst Tech
5:00 -6:15 Biology
Tuesday
11:00-2:50= PBB Practicum
3:30- 4:45= College Algebra
5:00 -6:50= Foundations of education
Wednesday
11:00- 12:50= Human Growth and Development
5:00- 6:15= Biology
Thursday
11:00- 2:50= PBB Practicum
3:30- 4:45= College Algebra
It could be worse, 5 of the classes had to be taken at the same time and in certain blocks, basically morning(1 class at 8:00) or afternoon(1 class at 11:00).
On to other things. I drove home at 8:00 the morning because I love torturing myself(small amounts of sleep didn't feel this bad in high school). I just need an escape from the apartment walls. That and the urge to go to Flat Rock Park, which as been bugging me for about a week or too. Hopefully, a walk will be taken tomorrow.

Change of Mind

The happiness at the freedom granted freshmen year has totally abandoned me to the realization that it wasn't true freedom at all. I now long to be totally free of this learning process set by people who don't know me, probably never will, and don't even care about that mere fact. It bores me in it's lack of challenge, so I must make my own. Yet, I'm sick of doing that task and have been since high school. This education is paid for, so why must it be a repeat of all that came to me for free. Maybe one day I'll win a shit load of money and not have to worry about anything besides learning everything I want to learn. That maybe a teaching style I use, ask the students, worth a shot.
I'm giving up my meatless life style. I grow tired of not being able to taste everything that life puts before me and actually have been craving a few things. It's so weird to me that, after a year, I want certain meaty products. I don't I'll be going back to McDonald's or BK or any other fast food place in the near future, most of the things I want are homemade(roast pork and hot wings my dad made). I also want a Turkey Leg at Renfest. Knowing my behaviors, I'll get there and want the fish and chips or something. It's still early in the day(but still late since I've been up since 5:30. My sleep schedule is fucked up and getting worse now that I'm recovering from an equally bizarre eating schedule where I haven't eaten before 1-2:00 in the past few days), I think I'm going to work on my Halloween costume.
LATER

Due to demand...

a quick update on my life. I'm now the secretary and head of the community service committee of the history club. Those people are serious about their club. Way different from JAFA. Lindsay and I went on the JAFA camping trip and a grand total of two other people showed up. I still think it was the greatest camping trip ever. We walked to an old bridge/museum and learned stuff about the area, then went to the park. One of the guys had a bunch of energy, so he ran back to they campsite as we three left stared thinking "did he really just run?"then stared at the car as he picked us up. We made a fire, well Lindsey and I laughed at the guys gathering wood because they refused our assistance. We laughed even harder as they began throwing the big logs at a tree to break them. The four of us played a game of 20 questions, then the worlds fastest game of tag then worked to build a bigger fire. Once again, the guys did the heavy labor, but they had a hatchet this time, still ended up tossing logs at trees. After all that work, we left at midnight and got some pizza in Statesboro. That's why it was great. As Dusty, JAFA president, put it "All the fun of camping, but you get to sleep in your own bed." I must be off now, I have an assignment to finish.

Pride

Julian Xavier Rodriguez born September 8, 2005. He weighed 4 ilbs and 15oz. He was so little and I didn't get to hold him until Monday after he came home from the hospital. I was so mad that I couldn't look at him when I got in Thursday night. In fact, I didn't get to see him until Sunday afternoon after my parents left. In the end, I got the best picture as of yet. Him and Christian sitting next to each other. My brother got out of going to Iraq for now. Hopefully he won't be leaving until at least March. Anyway, this weekend I went to my first Savannah Pride ::waves rainbow flag::It was on the River Front, which many people believe took away from it because it's a major tourist spot. I must slightly agree because the area was too small for such a big group and instead of being stretched out down the entire area, it was just in clumps. It was still lots of fun. I went with a friend, Laura, and her father. She introduced me to another, Sarah, who I hung out with for a good chunk of the time as Laura left us to spend a couple of hours shooting guns in a silk top and ferret ears. Sarah was really cool, we walked around(sat around in some cases) and talked about a bunch of stuff. There was this one pagan store called moondancer that was small but really nice. I will go back there and buy it all one day. We tried to go to a club a after dinner, but it was $20 for anybody under 21. I was the only one and wouldn't have mind if they went in for a while, but they decided not to and we went to a comic book store and hunted around. Laura's father gave us a mini tour of the movie history of Savannah, which was cool. That guy knows more random information than I do, I wish to be like him when I grow up. It was a nice trip, but it ended too soon for me.

Hmm...I'm back in Statesboro, but for how long?

Not very long it seems, but I'm moving to fast. I now get to tell you, in all it's glorious detail, my time at UGA. As Peter said, my car was towed, but that happened in the middle. First I realized I forgot my debit card, so he and I walked to the bank(about 2 miles up hill both ways) on Saturday and had to stand in the drive through window because the lobby was closed. That was the most fun I've ever had walking. I had Gir and my favorite extra baggy pants while Peter had his big umbrella. Life can't get much better than that, except for maybe smorgies, but I didn't get to participate in that. Next time I hope! Saturday, I tried to get Kalan kidnapped so that he and Catherine can spend some time together, but that didn't work out. If they want, I'll pick up Kalan one weekend and drive him to Athens, so his mom won't worry. I got to watch a game of D&D on Sunday, and that turned into a strange competition of which character had the biggest dick. Does it always turn into something like that? On Monday, I watched Family Guy and Invader Zim or played a game(Digital Devil Saga- I want it.) while people worked or rotated time with me. I felt so special. Tuesday, we got lost in the middle of the country trying to find the towing company, but it was lots of fun. I made up for the fact that I didn't go to any of my classes by following Peter to two of his. He is right though, that Art History class is BORING. I gave up trying to keep him awake and just poked him on the important stuff. The Literature class was pretty cool though. Even though I didn't read the stories, I got an idea of what they were about through the class discussions.
As for the title question, I'm not able to stay in Statesboro for 2 full days. I'm going to my bro's house to help the sis-in-law because she's having the baby tonight or tomorrow morning. Must go study for a test now. LATER

Oh Goddess it hurts!!

To those of you who don't have to worry about gas, I say this- kiss my big latina ass!! You all suck!! To those who still live in Columbus and have to deal with the gas there- Sucks to be you (especially Geimer, what's it like @ $3.2something for premium?) I hear that they're going to start rationing the gas tonight over there. They may be doing it over here, but it won't matter. People rushed the gas stations at 2:00 today, when all the stations were $2.95 or more. Spent $25 to fill 3/4 a tank after waiting in line for a half an hour. I'm surprised at the lack of people on the corners saying repent now, because this is probably going to be the time when they have the best audience. I fear for the fate of the natural world as people get more desperate for a vanishing item instead of just riding a bike to the places somewhat close. I plan on doing that, it's not that hard to do. People of the nitendo and computer generation, I call all you forth too exercise. I can just hear the collective wail. Maybe we'll go back to the horse and buggy, that would be amusing. A car on neutral with four horses on the highway. I know that there would still be a person with only one or two horses in the fast lane and a shit load of pissed off people behind him.
LATER

The lowly monkey ran away with my mind!!

Damn you monkey. I just felt like being random. Apologies to the frightened humans. The second week of school and not much to talk about. The new school buses are on campus and working very well. Except when people cram in like a Hispanic did it, then it gets to be amusing. I should take that back, if a Hispanic crammed people on the bus, those luggage racks and laps would be used. My classes are fun, I have 2 teachers from Poland, both have a little trouble speaking english. The male teacher cursed the American grading system the first day of class. I have dance class this semester as well. It's enjoyable even though we're just learning the foxtrot. Eventually, we will so waltz, polka, swing, and Latin dances. I'm so excited. Right now I'm just looking for a job, which I must continue. LATER
