1. The phone rings, who do you want it to be? Liz, Emily, Katie or Lea. I really don’t talk to anyone else anymore… 2. When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart? If I’m not feeling overly lazy. 3. If you had to kiss the last person you kissed again, would you? Of course I would. Momma kisses are the best. 4. Do you take compliments well? Sometimes… 5. Do...
Niall: And then, out of nowhere, Nobody jumped out and held me at gun-point and demanded that I not write nothing on your wall... so I did.
Trista: you still wrote the word nothing. I surely hope that just the word doesn't count, for the loss of a bouncy elephant would be utterly detrimental. There are so few of us to begin with.
Niall: But I didn't not write nothing! So Nobody shot me, so I'm alright. If Nobody didn't shoot me, then I'd be in trouble.
Trista: This is true. I would have been even more worried if Nobody had left you alone, for that would be against his purpose in life. But the lack of bouncy elephants is beginning to concern me. I do believe they should be considered for the list of endangered species. I only know of two on the entire planet.
Niall: We must petition the President!!! I'm sure the fact that the world contains only two bouncy elephants is reason enough that millions--if not billions-- of government dollars should be spent to insure that their natural habitat is not destroyed!
Trista: I concur entirely. The natural habitat of the bouncy elephant must be preserved. it would be so detrimental to society if the species were wiped out, simply because their habitat was not preserved correctly. If not the president, we must petition someone. Maybe the U.N., for it is an international affair, as there are only two bouncy elephants in the WORLD. We must act soon before it is too late!
Niall: Hmmn... why stop at the global level? I mean, there can't be more than a handfull of Boucy Elephants in all of creation! We need to petition God!!
i've been busy with being bored.
I’ve been with Lea a lot lately. since july 12th… she’s been over at last 4 times. she’s spent the night twice. We went to Universal the other day and saw Bridge to Terabithia. it was good. we both cried. a lot. i also made a wonderful purchase before the movie. I got an old “vintage” Raggedy Anne. It’s sad, though. She has no Heart. Every Raggedy Anne and...

I miss being held.
so, I’ve decided that in this life, the only thing a person needs to truly be happy is someone to hold them. I don’t even necessarily mean one particular person to hold them, it could be dozens. Hundreds even, if you are one to encounter that many people and to have them care enough for you to hold you. I just… miss human contact. Hugs and kisses are nice… but i miss being...
The photo below is my schedule as of right now.
5 classes, 18 credit hours. ENGL 121, SOCL 105, and CTAR 158 are all 3 credit hours. PHY 101 is 4 credit hours. FRNH 121 is 5 credit hours. it really isn’t so terrible. If I don’t get french, I can get a tutor. Same with any of my classes. I don’t think I’m setting myself up for failure… See I had a math class instead, Logic and Model Theory, which was on Tuesday...

i love life
so… i had leamae with me today. we were going to work on my box… but that kinda got pushed to the wayside. we took off the old hinges took out the bad nails and talked about a design. I kinda like the idea we’re probably gonna go with. Norman Rockwell-esque beach scene. I’m pretty in love. we watched Sabrina and Breakfast at Tiffany’s as well and had milkshakes for...

Romeo + Juliet
For the record… Romeo and Juliet is a play entirely about teenage hormones and rash decisions so that two kids can have sex. i mean… has anyone noticed how quickly Romeo is “in love” with Juliet after he swears he is in love with Rosaline? I find that to be a little…. suspicious. but… eh. whatever. Leonardo DiCaprio… is very pretty in this movie,...

update on life
Mom got new fish. they’re all little and yellow and one of them is so absolutely adorable. I named him Jude. and because he is named Jude, I took a beatles theme to their names. The other two are Mr. Mustard and Rita Metermaid. But Jude is my favorite. We’re basically ready for the party tomorrow. Just making food and a few odds and ends here and about… My room. IS CLEAN....

First Entry. Woo.
So… today I decided I was going to finally do this. After seeing Jenn’s, I love how confidential this one is. It’s so private and personal. No one will know about this blog unless I tell them. It’s better than livejournal by far. Spazzy died today. I’m terribly upset. He was supposed to last until I wasn’t home to be here when he died. I love that fish so...
