Laziness

I wanted to update my blog the day I got back here but certain issues came up. Anyway, the Japanese speech competition was lots of fun. It was great to see so many people again. It's been too long. I wish to do more stuff and see everybody again like that. Peter should have placed, but nothing can be done about that. Umezono was yummy! Peter has some pics on his blog so look there. After Umezono and Tomato, I went with Peter to Athens for the night and met more of his friends. I mostly listened as they talked about things going on in UGA. Everybody went to bed around 1:00, but, except for Peter, nobody fell asleep for awhile because of random conversations. Anyway, woke up at 7:30 because an alarm went off and I got to watch as Peter was stepped on. Peter and I then went to his room to talk and find directions to get me back to GS. I ended up leaving at about 9:30- 10:00, but got lost a couple of times, so I didn't make it back until 12:50 or so. I did not even put my stuff down when a girl I know asked me to go have lunch with her. She chose Checkers, vegetarians paradise::rolls eyes::, so I went for the ride. At Checkers, this girl left her keys in the ignition, the windows open, and the doors unlocked. On the way back, she drove on the wrong side of the road and we almost died. I came back to find Katie in the room, sick as a dog, but not hangover sick, flu sick. After that I got a couple of phone calls, fell asleep, woke up, chatted, then fell back asleep.
Monday, my English lab was cancelled, so I went to have dinner with Lindsay. She told me about different role playing games on the net, so I followed her back to her room and she showed me what goes on in them. Tuesday, Lindsay and I took a walking tour of the campus where we went to the museum and the Wildlife center, to talk to one of her teachers, and to English class, which was cancelled. Then we went to Walmart for camping supplies, to a JAFA meeting, then I went and hung out in Lindsay's dorm. Also on Tuesday, I went to check out some apartments that are really nice and cheaper than some of the dorms on campus. I talked to my mom about it and we basically got into an argument via AIM because she tried to make certain points without knowing all the details. So Wednesday I got a copy of the lease so that she could see it. Also on Wednesday, Lindsay and I went movie hunting First in Blockbuster, where the dude kept following us and asking if he could help with anything, then to Movie Gallery, where Big Daddy Wolf(or something like that) convinced us to help him put away videos, we got stuff for it. Then we went and ate ice cream at Carvels(yummy) and back to Lindsay's dorm to watch SAW. Tomorrow is the JAFA camping trip. YAY!
By the way, Lindsay has her own blog, which I said before, but she got mad because I didn't say anything about her::shrugs::. Well, she's just as insane as I am, but cool. She loves Mad, Mad House and other reality shows. She's in chorus, in love with Erik, the Phantom of the Opera and has a creation named Muse. Anything else, she can add to the comment box, so check there.

Work and Play

The Explore Japan Program last Tuesday was a big success in my opinion. I ended up taking over the language section- it was me and another girl who the kids could barely hear- but it was lots of fun. I didn't think it would go that well after the disaster of a rehearsal. Anyway, I also did room selection on Thursday and got my first choice. I also pissed some people off because I moved straight to the front of the line, but that's what they get for being so determined to have a certain roommate. After the Geology test on Friday I hopped in my car to go home, but was only home for about and 2 hours (1 hour was spent running errands) before I had to get in the car again for a 6 hour drive to Orlando, Florida.
This past Saturday was spent at Sea World and a luau. You can see the pic here. If it asks for a username and password use ivetheimp@hotmail.com and fluffy. It sometimes wants to be a bitch to me. Special note: I don't like taking pics of people, especially when they pose, so these are all of various animals. My battery died before the luau(it sucked, so it didn't matter) so no pics there either. We returned home Sunday- by the end of the drive, I was ready to put my dad in a sleeper hold, can't stand when people continuously change radio stations .
All in all, I'm sick of the car for the week, but will be ready to drive by the weekend. By the way, I found more dolls like Puck, the site is in Spanish(the dolls are from Spain), but the names are basically the same.

Edit: My sis-in-law is pregnant w/ kid #2

Busy funness

I may have only 12 hours this semester, it feels like I'm going to be even busier than last semester. This Tuesday, I'm involved in a program for second graders to teach them about Japanese culture. Then there's room selection, Japanese speech competition(Go Peter and Junior!!), a camping trip, and the Renaissance Festival. Along with tests, essays, homework, trips to see my nephew and new cousin, another cousin's graduation, new tattoos and maybe piercings, I'm very excited.

More Pictures!!

My cousin, Andrea Alexandra. They only bought her yellow and pink stuff. Poor Baby.

My brother, Rob.

My sister-in-law, Jenna, w/ my brother, Rob in the background

This is my nephew

I am working on posting pictures of the rest of my family. Bare with me, I'm not computer-literate.

Who am I?

I have to write an introductory letter for my English professor and one of the questions to answer is what do I feel makes me "ME," but I don't know me. Well I know me, but I hide from myself so much that I don't know the real me anymore or how to figure me out. On that confusing note, I'll do an update of my life.
Christmas and New Years came and went and I am back in school, but doing only 12 hours because the work load in the classes I have will be bigger than last semester. I went home for MLK weekend because there is neither an air conditioner nor a heater in the dorms until the weather stabilizes. At home, I went to the movies to see Elektra(a disappointment) and did nothing else really. Starting tomorrow, I am going to a pilates class every other day because I have nothing else to do.
That's everything, maybe one day I will type the weirdness that happened at the dorm during the last semester. LATER.

A new cousin is born

My aunt had a 10 pound 1 ounce baby girl at 12 today. Don't worry, it wasn't a natural birth. The doctors were worried that the baby would get stuck. This birth also puts me at 2 for 2 in gender guessing. My dreams never lie, though people tend to laugh at them.
My brother and his family are here. Little Christian has his first teeth coming in, his fangs!He also does a funny smirk when I call him little minion.
As for Christmas, I got a new computer(my laptop sizzled and died) with a printer, some stuff from Bath and Body works, a digital camera, jewelry, money, a fuzzy blanket, and a ball of light that makes nature noises. For my dad, I bought a knife, imagine brass knuckles with three knives attached. It's so cool!!! One day the vast collection will be mine*drool*. I also found him a black and white pic of Bruce Lee on one of his movie sets. My mom got shoes that massage her feet and a genie lamp for her collection.
This year for New Years, my parents want to go out for dinner because no family is coming down for the first time in years.
A New Discovery: I recently found out that I was never baptized as a baby, I was only "Presented to God." I'm the only person in the family to have had this because my brother was baptized when he first entered the Air Force. This is an interesting way for me to begin a new year.

Happy Solstice & Merry Christmas

I would also like to wish my Tio Jesus(everybody calls him Papo) a happy Birthday.

Butterflies on the moon

A quick room update: The curtains aren't velvet as I wanted, but they are black with silver moons and stars. My parents put the futon from the old guest room into my/guest room, so it now has a couch on which I am putting black and silver pillows with silver butterflies on them, not my choice.
Anyway, DJ stopped by the house yesterday and we talked for a little while and exchanged numbers because neither one had the other. Unfortunately, I gave him my old cell number. I also saw Jamie on Friday and met her boyfriend(I'll only say this: she manages to find the most interesting people to love). We ran into some dude at BAM who she knew but I didn't. After we left, she told me that he thought I was "exceptionally cute". I hope that by the tenth guy, one of them will say something to my face(3 boys since college started).*sigh* That's all in my life. LATER
*Note to Peter: When are you coming to Columbus for a visit?

*Yawns*

I've been out of school for a week now and am ready to go back I'm ready to go back I'm so bored, but can't go back till Jan 9. The Thur-Wed at my brother's house was fun, but the two days at my parent's house is boring because I haven't been doing anything. I must describe my/guest room, it's nice. One wall is black(about time), the other three are orange/peach/tan depending on the light and who's looking at it, a ceiling fan, all my posters are framed, my tapestry is getting put up soon(unless my parents take it for the living room), porcelain dolls on both sides of the bed, while my black wings are on a mirror background framed in black painted wood and the halo over it, and the floor is a fake black marble with matching sheets. I'm going to make black, maybe velvet, curtains for the window. They made my dream room AFTER I leave. My dad redid the kitchen and they completed the weight/knife room.
Now for school: 4 As and 2 Bs at the end which was a complete surprise because I was expecting 2 Cs. Next Semester: Economics, English, College Algebra, Geography, and Geology. Except for English at 4(which I didn't have a choice in), my classes end at 1:00. I also have a nice gap between classes, so I'm happy. That's everything in my life.

Sqog

Sorry I couldn't join the group for Thanksgiving, I went up North. It was alright, I didn't get to bake*tear* That's all I wanted to do. Oh well, went to Washington D.C. for a couple of hours on the way home. They have fat squirrels there. Jenna(sis-in-law) and I named all but one Chubs, the extra one we named Sqog, because he was a big black squirrel that looked like a squirrel-dog mix. My finals are all next week, one a day until Thursday, my dad is graduating from internet college next Thursday(12/16), and members of the family got food poisoning from the meat in their Wendy's burgers(LOL, silly meateaters). I know it's mean, but I warned them not to eat fast food.
That's everything. LATER

Boredom

You are the Smiling Winner!
As you emerge from a previous Battle Royale coated
in blood and clutching your dolly to your
chest, you look to all of the flashing lights
of the cameras and the television reporters.
Military push people aside to give you room to
walk as your small feet pad silently against
the blood stained dirt. Your matted hair
dangles in your face as you slowly tilt your
gaze to the cameras...and smile. Madness always
takes it's toll. Have the correct change.

Which Battle Royale Character Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
Puck would be my dolly.
I'll add a couple more later.

Guess I should Update

I watched horror movies and the nightmare before Christmas for Samhain/Halloween. My parents came down for family weekend the same weekend. Had to go home this passed weekend to get my car fixed. Didn't tell anybody because I needed to be alone. Going home this coming weekend for my mom's b-day, so tell me if you want to do anything(thurs night-sun noon). Signed up for classes today. English, Math, Geology, Economics, Geography, and Equestrian(horse-back riding)-16 hours. I may look for other classes to add. Only a partial vegetarian, parents still trying to make me eat all meats- eat fish for much needed protein. Went down a size in pants. Will post pictures as soon as I figure out the web cam. Got a new phone, CD, and laptop. Getting a sewing machine and digital camera(hopefully for Yule). People here still mess with me because I'm different, oh well. That's everything. LATER
Update: I decided not to do the horse back riding because it cost money and would be from 6 to 8 at night. which puts me at 15 hours.
P.S. I'm officially a member of the clergy for the Church of Spiritual Humanism, which means I can do weddings, baptisms, and funerals :P

Political Statement

For the past few days, some jackass has been erasing my Samhain count down and removing Katie's Bush bumper sticker(don't like Bush, but it's still wrong) from the door. I got sick of it today and have duck taped everything to my door, including the part of the Bill of Rights that says stuff about freedom of religion and speech. I'm also working on a larger sign to count down to Samhain. Others are duck taping things to their doors too. Unless the person knows four different schedules, nothings coming down (I'm working on other holidays).
Anyway, onto my Halloween costume- I'm wearing a skirt, a pretty shirt, knee high platform boots, fangs, horns, and a cloak. The cloak had one of those stupid string-ties, so I replaced it with one made of hematite. It's all black or silver.
A few days ago, a girl calling me retarded because I wasn't a Christian. Me and her had a talk. We understand each other now, and are becoming close friends, it’s nice. She still worries about me sometimes, but that's for different reasons (I'm special!!) ;P
LATER

Life is vapor

Nothing lasts forever. I spent the weekend at my brother's house and played with my nephew. He's going to be a minion, he has my smirk and only does it when something is about to happen. My parents came with Fluffy, it was good to see her. I also got to meet Butters, a dog that smiles when you say his name. I didn't do too much, but I went to the mall and got my my fangs. They are the normal ones, but I'm going to by the shredders sometime in my future. Happiness and tranquility never lasts. I left early on Sunday, would have left Monday morning, but I had a group presentation in my morning class and knew that my group wouldn't have it done(sounds mean, but you don't know my group). I was right, they didn't even take all the pictures, and I did all but ten!Ten pictures between three people isn't that hard. In the process of getting the pictures, I made a lady feel special, I called her a goddess and said that I worship the lab she works in for getting the pictures done in a half an hour.
I had another weird dream the day before I left for my brother's house(Wednesday night). It was really short. Anyway, everybody was in it and they were separated into two groups, some in Geimer's car, the rest in my car, but Peter was driving my car and I was walking. So Peter and Geimer would drive a few feet and I would jog and meet them, then they would drive a few feet more and I would do some more jogging. That was my entire dream, but the weird thing is that I woke up and my legs were actually hurting. I think I figured it out, it only happens when somebody insults Puck, he doesn't like it, I guess.

Confusion

This week is only at the half way point and I've had weird dreams that a psychology major couldn't answer(I asked). #1 happened Saturday/ Sunday morning- My bro cheats on his wife with some guy's girlfriend and the guy said that he can sleep with my bro's wife, but gets a no, so he pulls out a gun, they get into a fight, and the guy gets shot in the shoulder. My brother is like holy shit, we gotta get him to the hospital and then we're in a car driving to Atlanta- me driving, a random girl next to me, my bro in the back next to the guy, and my dog, who got injured and was bleeding. The car stalls, so we take a shortcut through the woods and run into a random couple, who let us borrow their car, a red thunderbird. Somehow, before we got into the car, we lose the guy and my dog gets decapitated, but the head is still alive and eating food, the girl told me not to worry that she'll(my dog) be fine. We get to Atlanta, and have to cross a bridge, the area around the city was flooded. We get to the hospital/veterinarian's office(it's a two in one). My dad is there, something is up with my mom. Anyway, we realize that we forgot my dog's body so my dad went to get it, because we didn't put it on ice. So my dad leaves and Katie's wakes me up going "oh shit, I'm late for church!"
#2 happened this morning- I'm in a contest to get a BAM giftcard and the final part of the contest is to make it down an obstacle course without falling into water which is full of tiger sharks and jellyfish. The course is two stories up and made of wood, there are two stepping spots, a small round stump and another that goes in a sharp slant, and then you have to shimmy down a giant log. Seems easy, but nobody was able to do it. Because I got the closest I won, but nobody wanted to come in the water to get me. Then I'm at some coffee shop with Quita and the random girl from dream #1. I tried to put a disc in a laptop, even though the monk(a Buddhist monk, I think) told me not to, and I got electrocuted. As I was losing consciousness, I heard him say something like not anyone can reach his secrets so easily. Why are my dreams so vivid and why aren't they good? I was told that it could mean I'm mentally disturbed in some way and need some help, but I don't want that. Who the hell is that girl?I've never seen anybody who look like her or had her voice, it was very calming. And the monk? I'll admit, I'm reading a Buddhist book, but this hasn't happened before, so why now? Who is the he the Buddhist monk talked about? LATER

I'm stuck in the Boro

So I got stuck here this weekend for two reasons: 1) a hurricane is coming and the ability to get back is uncertain, 2) My parents took a bunch of money out of my account, so I have nothing. My parents will make it up to me though, I'm getting contacts, a cloak, and scarecrow fangs(shredder or x-tra long?). My dad is getting kicked out the army in October, but they're going to turn in a different ID card for me, so I can still shop on post. I'm going to visit my brother in a couple of weekends, he sold almost all of his dogs(3 left from 10) and is working on the cats. I think that's everything here. LATER

UPDATE: Classes got cancelled, the hurricane hit Sunday night, Monday morning. Nobody's trying to drive anywhere they don't deem needed. I'm working on a paper and studying. They tried to scare some students by saying we were going to have to go to class anyway. I won a $250 hooded velvet cloak on ebay for $25! LATER.

I finally went to the Club

I had a good time on Thursday. At least until some drunk dude swiped his hand across my chest and another tried to grind on me*shivers*, but that was near the end. I ended up being the defender of the girls dancing my way to those I knew and cutting some drunk asshole off. A couple of guys gave me looks of hatred and I just smiled. Ah, grief and anger*evil cackle*. I think I'm going to wear fangs the next time I go. Grief, anger, and fear, Yes!!!Anyway, on the stage there was soft core porn. Girls humping and kissing each other(for free drinks), I think a couple actually starting fingering each other. I actually stopped at one point and was like "they are not doing what I think they're doing. Oh my God!"I turned away from the stage after that. I had lots of fun dancing and singing and hanging out. I'm glad I didn't have classes on Friday as I didn't sleep until 5:00 in the morning.
I think I'm going home this weekend or next weekend, but I know I'm going to my brother's house in October. I'm cancelling the previous statement, I'm going to Japan Fest this weekend. Hopefully it will be better than last year. The Japan club is going. Anybody else?
I just finished my history test and I'm now gonna drown my tears in Butter Pecan ice cream(damn essay tests!) LATER.

P.S.: Can somebody please change my blog? I hate how it looks!:(
