I'm the person who dies the night before

I haven't updated in a while, sorry about that. The last week was really weird. I'm starting to freak out a bit, maybe. I need it to be May 17th so bad. Actually make that May 19th, it'll all be over then. Trying to remember what I did last week. Not much, really. I think I have all my stuff done and turned in besides finals stuff. I'll spend tomorrow and Wednesday working on my drama studies project. I just wanna be able to sleep in tomorrow. That's all I want. No worries about nothing. I'm so close to the end I'm afraid something's going to pop up. It's making me a bit morbid. I'm horrid at wearing my seatbelt but as I was driving to work Saturday morning it occurred to me that I should wear it. I'm the person who dies within days of the end over something stupid like that. Morbid, yes?

I went home on Thursday which was good, I suppose. It was nice to have a little time with nothing to really do. I ate with Jon and family on Friday. Helped Teresa make enchiladas that were amazing. She made chocolate covered strawberries too, freaking amazing. She finished the scrapbook/autograph book thing she was making for me, fucking amazing. I will take pictures of it next week when I have it. She also made me Andrew and me paperdolls hah They're too cute. Pictures of those too when I get them from her. Work wasn't bad this weekend, mostly I think, because I got things set up Friday to move to full time. I will start full time May 26 which means I have a week of nothing after this week, I cannot wait. Yesterday was my last Sunday because I won't be working this coming weekend.

I am definitely getting a new laptop for graduation. Talked to my dad today. I knew it was what I wanted but I dunno. Its like I know my mom isn't getting me one because she got the camera for me for birthday/part graduation but when I said something about my dad getting me a new one she got weird even though Niki said she'd thought about getting me one. So I dunno but new laptop. No more ctrl-v for me :)

I feel like rambling but I don't really have anything to ramble about, to be honest. I had a dress fitting today. I have to go back next Monday to make sure it's right and get the bra tacted in so that it doesn't slip during the wedding. If I weren't lazy I'd find a picture of the dress and post it, but I am lazy.

I finished the last of my Torchwood audiobooks today. I'm a bit sad about it lol If my books I ordered would ever ship, I'd be a lot happier. Three new books will be out some time this year and they sound pretty amazing too. Ianto is a woman's body? Did the let the fangirls write a novel? hah I'm looking forward to it at least. Hannah's present has at least shipped, I think. The money was taking out. I didn't think about the fact that the email would go to my mom since I used her account. Oh well at least it'll be there. I need to remember to tell someone to bring it so that I can give it to her or I can give it to her on Sunday, I guess.

Friday should be fun. Nicole and Will are meeting Allison and Bryan at the junction and riding over here with them. Dunno what we're doing but it should be fun. Graduation's gonna come awful early though hah I think this is my first Saturday off since November, I dunno how I'll handle it lol We'll find out, I guess lol I wanna go to sleep now but no real reason to. I don't have anything until 2 tomorrow and I'm sleeping till noon if I can manage it.

NOT a Mest reunion show

So Tony Lovato continues to destory my favorite band's memory by being
a piece of shit. The 'reunion' show is just Tony none of the rest of

Breathing easier

And we all breathe a sigh of relief. I finished my portfolio last night!! I feel so much better than I did last week hah Hopefully it passes so I never have to think about it again. But after tomorrow, I don't have to think about it again for another month. *dances*

I took a half day of vacation yesterday and stayed in Independence so I could get it finished. It was good that I stayed because Bill and Cindy *finally * sold the bar and last night was their last night. Jim, Niki, and I went out there for a while. We did two songs and had some drinks, good times. Or something hah I found out that Bacardi makes pomegranate mojito, which are super yummy so I have some of those at the house.

I finally got a Something Corporate's Piano Movers shirt. I've wanted one for about three years, I think. I'm in love with it lol And also, I was apparently assistant editor of the paper at ICC when I went there my freshman year lmao Do not remember that but one of my articles listed me as that lol

I'm exhausted and will prolly lay in bed the rest of the day watching TV. I finally finished the Doctor Who episodes with Captain Jack in them yesterday. David Tennant is an odd little man but I kinda wanna watch the rest of the show now. Every time I see him, though, my first reaction is to call him Barty Crouch Junior. I kinda wanna watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire now hah But Doctor Who has to wait until after I watch Robin Hood which I plan to start today. Lots to watch. Hopefully there will be new Skins up soon today, I'm in need of some. My British TV obsession continues this week, oh joy hah

words


So I was taking a diet vacation on like Sunday but it's somewhat continued through the week. Oh well. This has been a weird week. I'm sun  burnt but it's getting better so that's good. I dunno what I was going to update about. I just wanted to do something besides think about my portfolio.  My head hurts. I'll be glad when it's turned in because then I don't have to think about it for a month or so. I need to work on my memo for my research paper tonight because it's due Monday.

My professor for Laws of Mass Comm and History of Mass Comm is apparently sick because he canceled both classes so I had a free day yesterday, which I wasted by laying in bed and watching TV. I went to the dentist yesterday too. All's good apparently which is good. I got two extra hours of sleep this morning but I'm still tired. Hopefully I will go to sleep early tonight. If my professor cancels again tomorrow that would be excellent. I could get home earlier and get more stuff done before lunch.

Survivor's on again tonight. Hopefully Sisky's brother's off before The Office, Scrubs, 30 Rock, and My Name is Earl come back on because I'll watch them over Survivor. Randomly, I am watching E! THS Mark Wahlberg. I'm a little bored hah I'm trying to kill time before it's late enough that I can do something about dinner without being hungry later.

13 pounds


Busy, busy day. On top of my usual busyness of a Tuesday, I have a tanning appointment at 11:30 and an eye doctor appointment at 3:30. All good things though because I need to get contacts. I've been wearing my glass non-stop for like 3 months, at least. I'm pretty sick of them. I lost 13 pounds last month, go me! I'm not doing well so far this month so I need to get back on track. I've also got to get my stuff for my profolio this week. It's due a week from today so I need to spend Friday printing off all my stuff. Some of it I might have to print off here if I can't get it to open on my dad's computer. Stupid In-Design. I think he might have the same version as the school though if he still has it.

I got a 91 on my Laws of Mass Comm test!! *dances* I have lots of stuff to watch today, which makes me happy. New 'Skins' 'The Simpsons' 'Family Guy' and 'October Road' I really like 'Skins' I'm kinda sad I didn't start watching it earlier hah I'm going to take [info]n_isfor_neville's suggestion and start Robin Hood after I get through the episodes of Doctor Who with Captain Jack in them watched. I have to clear up space on my laptop, ugh hah

Sunday was horrid at work. I got sent to Crissplant again and the first thing we were told when we got there was that if we didn't do 270 or more an hour we were going to get written up. Complete bullshit. I will not be going to Crissplant anymore, especially not on Sundays. I'm not going to be sent out of my department and be expected to have the same numbers as someone who works in that department everyday. I have no problem with being expected to make numbers in my department but I'm not going to be threatened when I go into another department to help because they don't work fast enough or have enough people over there. I would possibly go over on Saturdays because that manager is nice and seems to know what she's doing. The manager there on Sundays is a fucking asshole. Grrrr >.<



I found this while looking through my photobucket account. I kinda miss these times. I only still talk to one person in this.


And I was tagged by patricko to do my top five guys so here goes
  1. Andrew McMahonnequin



  2. Jeremiah Rangel


  3. Matt Lovato


  4. Adam T. Siska


    I can only think of four right now *shrugs*

BABIES!!

I've slacked on updates lately. Not much of importance going on with me. I've all but completed my application for AmeriCorps, I just need to find another reference then I can submit it. And I called La Puente House today but haven't heard back. Hopefully she'll call soon.

I got a 95% on my History of Mass Comm test. Hopefully I'll do as well on my Laws of Mass Comm test tomorrow. *fingers crossed* Ummm that's about it for me.


KATIE IS FOUR MONTHS PREGNANT WITH TWINS!!

That's the most important thing is my life right now, beside Callie Ann's birth. This is such great news for her!! I found out Thursday but I haven't updated so I couldn't. She's prolly the most deserving person I know, she and Andy both. This is the furthest she's gotten and they weren't even trying, apparently. It's such a shocker considering she'll be 48 in a month but I'm so incredibly happy for them. I need to figure out a time when I can go down there to visit. And find out what she's having so I can start getting them baby gifts!

I still need to get something for Callie Ann who's amazing. I spent most of the weekend there when I wasn't at work. I went over Friday afternoon after lunch and was there until about 8. I fucked around with the wireless for hours and finally got it to work. Then it wouldn't let Jon access the shopping channel. He got it working Saturday though and we played Bubble, Bubble and Sonic the Hedgehog. Good times.

I did better diet wise this weekend too. I only went over on Friday and that was only by a point. I only lost like 2oz this week so I decided not to pig. I did a lot of walking this weekend at work and did two miles today. I should do workout but I don't want to. I need to run by Game Stop for Jon but I dunno if I'll do it tonight or wait until Friday. I'll prolly wait. I'm being lazy. I might go though if I decide to get fastfood for dinner.

I'm caught up on Torchwood and bummed there won't be a new episode until at least Wednesday It's pretty excellent. I'm watching Skins now, it's pretty good too. I should watch Dr. Who so I can see the episodes with Jack but that's a lot to get caught up on.

Our dishwasher is dead. Hopefully they'll replace it soon. I'm sick of dishes, especially since I barely use any.

Classes were canceled today because of the weather so I'm staying in my bed watching British TV and maybe some movies. I've just started Skins but it's interesting. I like Torchwood, I'm almost finished with the first season (series?) I haven't gotten to The Might Boosh yet but I've got some to watch. British TV is much more graphic than American TV, it takes a bit to get used to, tbh. I'm kinda hoping that my teacher will go ahead and cancel tomorrow so that I can just go back to Independence tonight. I'll be annoyed if I hang around all day and class is canceled. The voice in my head is starting to sound British. Maybe I'll be like Britney and just start talking with a British accent like it's completely normal hah

NSFL - I'm fat

Instead of taking a nap, I went to get my dad's birthday presents and got some dresses. This is why I'm on a diet


Green front

Green back

Black front

Black back

Yah so I bought those to force myself to lose weight. I'm proud because even though they look fucking horrible, those are mediums and I'm in them. That's a start. Now to look decent in them is the next step. My head was left off because I look like shit.

More Dear Jack

Let's get the boring stuff out of the way first


Tuesday
my notes
Attempting to get back on track
21 points I'm not quite sure on dinner but that looks about right. I'm sick >.<

breakfast
Chocolate cakes (1pt)

lunch

11pts

dinner
Avocado/cream cheese sushi (9pts)

lunch

snacks
Sweettarts (2pts)
Strawberry-Lemon smoothie (2pts)

dinner
Hot Pocket (6pts)
Chips and salsa (4pts)

I'm only at 11 points so far for the day so I should prolly do a real dinner. I've got more of an appetite again (I eat a lot when I feel sick because I'm not hungry but I feel like I should be)



Another clip of Dear Jack. Not as sad as the last clip, which has over 15,000 hits (in two weeks, that makes me happy for some reason) This movie will own my soul by the time it is finally released.

Life has gone crazy. Teresa was due two days ago so we are on the countdown to baby. Crystal is pregnant again and JR got his girlfriend pregnant again. (Anyone wanna guess how many of these people should actually be having babies?) It's not hard. Mish and Ross have been together 5 years, no baby. Nicole and Will? 10 year NO BABY. Not hard!! >.<

Tomorrow is my dad's birthday, he's going to Denver for the weekend. Mish's birthday is Saturday. I need to work on her present this weekend. I have no clue what I'm getting my dad. I need to get him something but no clue what. Jon got the kids a WII this week so I am going to help him get it set up for wireless when it arrives.

My mom gets back late Saturday so I will prolly end up going home Sunday night after work instead of going back to Pittsburg so that I can see them, especially if Teresa goes into labor at some point.

Sweet short class! Naptime

Yah so I went into the weekend having lost 3 pounds for the week and it kinda went to shit. I've been sick since prolly Wednesday so I'm finding it hard to care about the diet right now. Long, long, longggggggggg weekend. Got to Independence just before noon and went to lunch with Jimmy, Will, and Niki. Then stopped by my grandparents but didn't stay so that I didn't get them sick. Niki and I went to Cato's then ended up going to Bartlesville with Candy. I saw a dress I really wanna get for graduation but they didn't have it in the red in my goal size so I'm going to look here for it.

We got back from Bartlesville around 10 and Allison, Quincee, and her friends were there so I stayed up for a bit to see Quincee. Finally got to sleep around 11:30 and had to be up at 5:30. Wasn't pleasant. Worked in Crissplant so I walked a billion miles and it was cold over there. Got home Saturday and felt like shit so basically took and shower and did some laundry then was asleep by 8:30. Was excellent. Worked in Crissplant on Sunday too which didn't help my sickness at all. I considered passing out a few times.

Ordered pizza and was asleep by 9 last night. My mom called just as I was falling asleep but it was good to hear from them. They'll be home Saturday night, so I prolly won't get to see them. Maybe I can convince them to come visit me next week. It sleeted last night so I had to spend 20 minutes unicing my car to go to class for 15 minutes because only 9 people showed up.

I went to the student health center and they think I have a flu/bronchitis mix but not a lot they can do for me. If I'm still sick on Wednesday I'm supposed to go back. I of course felt worse after I left >.< Oh well. Either I'll get better tomorrow or I'll go back and see what they can do for me.

Slacking off

I got my sidekick back yesterday!! I've missed it so much!! It's so great to have it back!! I got two new ringtones which I love. I got "Guilty Pleasure" by Cobra Starship and "The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson. Which of course roommate bitched because I was iming people and it was going off. ZOMG you don't like it so I have to turn it off >.< She starting to get a little annoying. She's so moody and negative. She spent like three hours last night freaking out because she'd managed to get a spyware partly downloaded. She kept calling it a virus. No, it's spyware which is annoying but easily enough removed but of course she wouldn't get on the internet to download something to stop it. And she's upset with the other roommate who has already found another place to live next year but hasn't told her yet. Not a huge deal but she's making it to be one to me. I'm beyond caring because I'm moving out and not living here next year. And now she's being weird because she thought the other roommate let some guy use her blankets. I do agree though that he better not be there alone.

I've been thinking about the volunteer position in Alamosa and it gets more exciting every time. I need to call them and see about getting an application. I'm turn abut whether I'd wanna go in August or in January. January would be better because I'd have six months to save up money so that I would have enough to survive while I'm out there for a year. But I'd have to prolly pay for a place to stay for six months because there's no way I could stay at my mom's for six months (especially with her not working) Who knows. I'm just ready to graduate first. The location doesn't sound too bad. Part of the second email I got said:

Volunteers get together to go hiking, down hill skiing, cross country skiing, road biking, mountain biking, mountain climbing, river rafting, visiting hot springs, playing soccer, softball, basketball, racquetball, swimming, ultimate Frisbee, music playing, concerts, movies, plays, etc

Kinda sounds like going to summer camp except that I'd be working too. It's like 2 hours from Santa Fe, and 3 from Albuquerque and Denver so I wouldn't be completely cut off from going to concerts. Which is important to me, of course.

I didn't do well with my points but oh well. I'm doing better today at least. I just got an email from a place in Alamosa, CO called La Puente Home. They got my profile through AmeriCorps and were contacting me to tell me about opportunities to volunteer there. Here's the email


My name is Allison Cruse and I was given your volunteer profile through
Americorps. I'm the volunteer coordinator of La Puente Home in Alamosa
Colorado, and we use around 15 full-time volunteers to support our
homeless shelter, food banks, coffee house, community store, etc.

I'm writing you this quick note to provide you information about La Puente
and to tell you a bit about volunteer options with us. La Puente's
services feature a homeless shelter (25 beds averaging 900 people each
year), a soup kitchen (36,000 meals/year) a self-sufficiency program for
homeless families, an Outreach program which works to prevent
homelessness, 12 food pantries scattered around the San Luis Valley, A
Gleaning Project (food recovery program following the farm harvest), two
Community Thrift Stores (Alamosa / Monte Vista), a Coffee House, and Job
Readiness Training for hard-to-employ individuals.

La Puente is located in Alamosa, the center of Colorado's San Luis Valley,
in south central Colorado and touching the New Mexico Border. Though the
area is pristine in its mountainous beauty, it is host of 4 of the 6
poorest counties in Colorado. The poverty and isolation of the Valley
gives way to a lot of human need. The economy is primarily agricultural,
and the valley is home to many immigrants and migrant farmworkers who come
to work in the fields. (Spanish is helpful, but not required, with most
volunteer work site placements.)

We currently have a unique volunteer position that we are recruiting for,
and we’re looking for someone with a business background. This individual
would be the assistant to our La Puente Enterprises Director (who oversees
our two thrift stores, boutique and coffeshop), as well as work in our
non-profit stores. The work would be very diverse, from sorting clothes,
to marketing and PR, to doing fair trade product ordering.

We need volunteers to support our work at the homeless shelter, family
services program, food pantries, Outreach Program, Community Thrift Stores
and Coffee House. We also use our full-time volunteers in community
education and in the coordination of community volunteers, work groups,
and special events. It’s nice to have someone with some social work
skills, cross-cultural skills, business skills, construction skills, or
computer skills, but we welcome anyone who wants to serve and we always
put good talents to use! (We love artists, musicians, and writers as
well!)

Volunteers are usually placed in August and January and contract for a
full year of service. We offer one or two year placements. Volunteers
are provided room and board in a volunteer house, a living stipend, food
allowance, retreats, health insurance, and support with travel from LP.
Volunteers are eligible to receive an Americorps Educational Award at the
end of one year of service. School loans are eligible for deferment, if
that applies to you.

I'm going to check out the website but it sounds like a great opportunity. It's the type of thing I'd like to do and it's only like 11 hours from Independence (and only 9 from SLC, Mish) Hopefully I'll hear more from them soon.

COBRA STARSHIP

May as well start my update while my pictures upload. Yesterday was fucking long! I was up for 21 hours Saturday (5:30AM until 2:30AM Sunday morning) but still got up at 9 yesterday. I messed around and finally got on the road around 12:30. Stopped at Sonic and got a chili cheese wrap on my way to Pitt. When I got here, of course I didn't have promo so I added 30 minutes to my trip for nothing. Then I didn't want to go because I'm not a huge fun of Cobra Starship and didn't know any of the other bands but I did anyway.

It was colder in Kansas City than here. For it being sold out, the line really wasn't very long. I was in line for like an hour then when I got to will call I wasn't on the list >.< so the guy had me move to the side until the line was done. After The Cab performed (which I watched from the stairs), I realized the door people didn't remember I didn't have a ticket. I was getting ready to go down to the 'pit' when one of the other works came over and asked if I was in timeout because I had been standing there since the doors opened and I'm like 'I don't wanna tell you why I'm standing here because you'll make me leave' but I do anyway and the other guy was like 'oh yah, you shouldn't've of reminded us. They let me go in anyway at least. No pictures of The Cab for this reason.

The Cab was good. They only did a 3 song acoustic set because of the accident. Lead singer has like 15 staples in his leg. Ouch!!! They were good though. I definitely wanna hear more of their music. We The Kings was the next band. They were awesome. I downloaded the songs from their myspace to check out. Loved them lots though. Metro Station was the third band. They were better than I thought they'd be considering one of them is related to Billy Ray Cyrus/Hannah Montana. Not bad though.

Cobra Starship was definitely better than I thought. I'd only seen them at Honda Civic and wasn't impressed even though I liked they songs I knew by them. Great show though. Gabe really likes his fans. He was signing stuff and talking to them during the set. A couple of girls in the front had to leave during the set, I guess and gave him a flier for the show to sign and he read it and was like 'you should all go to that show' then they explained they wanted him to autograph it so he said 'sure he'd take time out of the show to sign it' and read, I guess, what he wrote. Something like 'Sorry you had to leave just before we were about to kick some ass. PS kiss my sass' or whatever before going into that song.

I think they did every song from Viva La Cobra plus Keep It Simple, Hey Mr. DJ, Bring It On (with Hollaback Boy as an intro). It wasn't a long set, jut about an hour. During Bring It On, he pulled some girl from the crowd to do Travis' rap. She did a good job, actually.

Not the greatest pictures I've taken but I got some decent ones of Gabe who got more attractive as the night went on hah Pictures located at my Buzznet in Cobra Starship and in random bands. I didn't stick around to meet anyone. Prolly should've talked to the guys that kept walking in and out while I was on the stairs but oh well. My ears are still ringing hah

The drive home sucked. It was foggy at shit, omg. I couldn't see like 3 feet in front of me >.< But I made it back. It's always bad when I take that highway anymore. Last year with Jack's Mannequin it was snowing. Bowling For Soup, it poured. I was dying on the way back from Warped this summer lol Now to watch House then maybe workout. I think I'm getting sick which sucks :(

Not a great day but better. Not a whole lot to update about. I watched Sweeney Todd and The Golden Compass this afternoon. I fell asleep during the last 30 minutes or so of The Golden Compass so I need to finish it. It's really good though. I want to read the books to see how close to the movie they really are.

Honda Civic tickets go on presale tomorrow so I will be getting a ticket to the April 15 show. Motion City Soundtrack and The Hush Sound will be excellent. I haven't see Panic in over a year so maybe I'll be able to stand them hah I think I just saw them too many times in a year, I think. New music makes everything better.

Speaking of new music, The Hush Sound's Medicine Man is excellent. I can't wait to hear the rest of the album. I like that they put out a new album every year-year and a half. And they're good albums.

Tomorrow's a weird day because I have class at 9:30, then at 12:30. My 2pm class is canceled but then I have my comm careers class. I hate that class already, ugh. And parking on campus fucking sucks. I had to park at the Weede and walk to Grubbs. I have no clue how far it is but it's annoying and I don't wanna do it tomorrow. Grr
