as i sit here in the basement of the library on one of the laptops that can be borrowed out, i think to myself... "i RRREEEAAALLLLY want an ibook..."

being on a computer and going to lj feels somewhat useless to me right now... i guess i feel obligated to let you people know i exist... for some of you, this is the only way to know... lord knows my cellphone is no help...

time to go back to studying...

06:29 pm - BEDLAM!!!!

so... i am now the part time assistant shop manager of 'the body shop'... i was tired of waiting for starbucks to gimme the shift manager position, like jimin offered to me before he left... and besides, i don't really want to be a shift now that he's not in charge... the body shop needed someone ASAP, and i figured this was opportunity knocking... now, it's sad that i see opportunity as an assistant manager position at the mall... but for now, this is as good as it gets... it even comes with a 50 cents per hour raise... W00T W00T!

this weekend my house is going to be bedlam... tia norma (aunt norma in portuguese for those of you not in the know, because russell is portuguese), aunt lou, aunt missy, my cousin journey, and tia's dog beau are all staying here... beau is a 100 lb airdale terrier... so that's... three aunts, one 5 year old, two parents, and 200+ lbs of dog... *twitch*

oh... it gets better... beau is here for two weeks while tia is in mass. visiting family...

10:30 am - FREE CLOTHES!!!

i think i may be doing another re-haul of my closet... this means some clothes will be up for grabs... i sold some of the stuff at garage sales and auction websites but then i felt guilty about not giving the things to my friends, so keep an eye on my lj, because i'll be posting when i know what i'm getting rid of...

10:16 am - ~when i say you sucked my brain out the english translation is i am in love with you~

i was just listening to an ani difranco cd i made a few years ago... and it is amazing the amount memory will attach to a song... a lot of them remind me of the first half of 2003...

~we'll say we didn't know, no, we didn't even try... one minute there was road beneath us, and the next just sky...~

and some are more current memory... like becky and i driving back from philadelphia with an 8 foot couch in the bed of eric's truck... i almost got my nose pierced that night... we got starbucks instead...

sarah gave me 'living in clip' for christmas... i almost cried when i opened it... that was the most beautiful gift... and she didn't even realize it... i only had the second cd in england... it was anna's cd, actually... and... there's just... so much... attached to it... and sarah completed it... she not only gave me my own second cd, but filled the hole where the first had been missing...

i still haven't gotten around to giving anna back her second living in clip cd...

09:28 am - I AM SO FUCKING COOL!

i got a free bag of popcorn outta the vending machine...

it was stuck, the corner wedged in between two parts of the machine... and this was the ones with the guard so you can't reach up and grab anything... first, i bought the snickers bar i had originally wanted, hoping it would knock the bag free... no dice... but the opposite corner of the bag was hanging just low enough to slip between the two pieces of the guard... so i reached in with my skinny little forearms and reached my small hands into the space between the pieces... i grabbed the corner with two fingers and pulled it to the side, dislodging the bag from it's moorings in the snack machine... so... i had a bag of wise buttered popcorn for breakfast... the snickers will be my elevensies...

the levels to which i will go for food amaze me sometimes... especially when on the brink of bleeding... all that weight i've lost (yeah, the whopping 7 lbs) is going to slap itself right back on if i keep this up...

three and a half hours to write just as many pages...

bloody hell...

it's 7:30 am and i'm in the uberlab... i have until 1 pm to finish 6 more pages... i think i can do this... but not without candy... because i'm a fat bitch...

yesterday morning the dogs were crashing around the house... it sounded like a herd of goddamned elephants... and the puppy is only maybe 25 lbs... when she's bigger than mercedes (which i think she will be) they're going to wreck the joint... that will be somewhere around 160 lbs of dog...

i am going to miss my literature class when it is finished... i wish i hadn't listened to my idiot ex when he told me afzul-kahn was a bad professor... she's one of the most brilliant ones on this campus...

you know what the crazy thing is? i'm not even sleepy... i'm yawning and tired, but i don't want to go to sleep...

what i want to do is finish this paper...

06:13 pm - ~and his hair was perfect...~

i am finally finished with my human bio lab... well... the actual lab half, at least... there is still the lecture to take care of...

this woman two computers away looks like an older version of molly ringwald and it's FREEKING ME OUT!!! i can't stop staring at her... but now i have to stop because she's leaving... maybe i'm freeking her out...

i got the biggest kick out of actually seeing "lee ho fook" in chinatown in london... took a peekature and everything... next time we're there i'll stop in for a big plate of beef chow mein...

i am not of the opinion that wearing a tight skirt is asking for a swat on the bottom... and i'm fuckin' tired of that bullshit... today my suddenly lightening fast reflexes ensured that the hand didn't connect...

you know what else is fuckin' bullshit? bridal showers... and while my coworker's newly acquired engagement ring did make my heart jump, i still don't want to go through the actual process of marriage... fuckin' bullshit... so much money and agitation for one friggin' day nobody will remember because they'll all be drunk anyway... don't get me wrong, i love my cousin and had no other option in my mind than to accept when she asked me to be a bridesmaid... but the whole process is repulsive...

then another coworker had to bring up the diamond mining industry... now the whole thing, from ring to reception, utterly disgusts me...

mother fucker...

11:38 am

i finally hooked my computer up in my old room... this was going to be an office for my mom and i, but it seems her desk won't fit through the door... russell might have to take it apart... my desk was assembled in here, so it's just fine where it is... i may leave it here when i eventually graduate and leave... though the glass top makes it excellent for painting, so maybe i will want to take it... ah well... i'm thinking outloud again...

i have to get more film for my camera and take peekatures of my walls before my mom and i destroy them this summer... there is ten years of history on these walls... TEN MOTHER FUCKING YEARS!!! *sigh* i feel so old sometimes... like yesterday when i realized one of the girls i work with was born after the ronnie administration... and that's crazy to me...

it's going to be nice to have an office... well... an office/guest room... i should write to one of those design shows and have them come do it...

i like it that we have sammiches and other little food items at starbucks now... i had a nice cheese and fruit platter for lunch...

01:21 pm - evidence of nerdiness being genetic...

so this weekend my mother got the birthday present she's been waiting roughly 15 years to get...

a chocolate lab puppy...

YES, ladies and gentlemen, we have another dog...

mercedes is somewhat afraid of her...

the cat is FURIOUS...

and what has she been waiting 15 years to name a chocolate lab, being a scifi nerd in the late 70's?

chewbacca...

chewie for short...

12:29 am - ~nothing heals me like you do~

well kids, i'm going 'home'... our flight leaves tomorrow at 8 pm and we touch down thursday morning around 8 am london time...

tonight will be the last time i get to sleep in a bed for the next two days... that's kinda icky... but i'll have that nifty tv in the back of the seat in front of me to watch... but i won't have moko to watch it with...

i'm not as excited as i was earlier in the week... a realization occurred to me... the sooner i leave jersey, the sooner i get to england, and then i'm there, and then i leave... in two weeks, i'll be back in jersey, mourning the end of my holiday, dreaming about when we'll get the chance to go back... we'll have to keep an eye on british airways, awaiting their next big off-season sale...

any way you slice it, i'm still going to be in england for the next two weeks...

the feeling that i am an utter failure is beginning to subside... now i just feel like wandering aimlessly... i don't even want to game... not like anyone asked if i wanted to... just went to hand me a character sheet, assuming i was in the mood... my stomach aches...

"i find it odd that i'm the biggest one..." says becky... and being the smallest one in the room, i find this comment hilarious...

i signed up for my health insurance today... it should go through by march... hopefully...

the ninja cat keeps stealing becky's dice right off the frickin' coffee table... cracks me the fuck up...

maybe i should go lay down...
