Stormtrooper

My car has a white body with black bumpers...
I think I shall dub thee...Stormtrooper

1. He makes me feel something I haven't felt in a very long time...

2. I have a car. I am currently thinking of a name for this car, because as the first official car, it deserves bling and a name...bought some bling already.

3. Spring Football Game: We won. And we lost. How paradoxical.

4. Hmmm...thanks for being you. You frickin rock. 5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I ended up cleaning the house.

The thought of Josh believing we all lived in a pit of messy despair was overwhelming enough that instead of coming back from my exam and sleeping before work, I cleaned the frickin toilet. And my room. Sort of. At least it doesn't look like a scene from Apocalypse Now. He said he didn't care because that is the sort of chill person he is and I do believe him BUT living with the paranoid panicky neurosis that I do, I went on a cleaning spree anyways.
Enough about clean houses.
Let's move on to Friday afternoons at work. I didn't work Friday's last quarter and it was wonderful because A) Anytime I was going home, I didn't have to wait until rush hour and B) NOTHING happens here. Nothing. No one calls, there are no papers to work on or data to input and most of the time no one is even here. Doc happens to be here today but Mr. Martin and Nick are out...smart guys. So I sit here for 3 hours twiddling my thumbs.
Enough about work.
I started writing more. I want to be a well-balanced English major and I have spent the last 18 years of my life reading everything I could get my hands on and now it's time to do a bit more writing on my end. I have no idea what I'm going to write but maybe I'll get inspired by the summer. And I'll start my new and improved blog. Because I declare so many times how I'm outta here but man, change is rough.
Tonight is a double date with the one and only Jenny and Jon at Rockbottom and then apparently I've been commanded to get drunk and watch the Ferrets run around the house to amuse us. Tomorrow is the Spring Football game (oh the joyness of it all) and going out with one of the bestest so she can "get to know" Rockstar more. I tend to get nervous when the Wolfpack does things like this...Shannon also declared that tomorrow is Judgement day...oh dear.
Happily medicated and ready to rock this weekend. Peace

This ain't no disco and it AIN'T no country club...hence the reason I want to have fun.

My ferrets proved last night to be the coolest effing animal in all creation and cracked us UP. Running around bein' all crazy and drunk and fitting under door cracks...they're just awesome. Love those lil guys...Nick, Dom, and Z came up to hang out last night and after a few games of Guitar Hero, we went to Murph's for darts and beer. This is why I LOVE not having class on Thursdays. Woot.

Bad Things:
1. I have an exam at 9 tomorrow (I don't CARE about why Coral erodes away!!! Don't you GET IT?? I'M A FRICKIN ENGLISH MAJOR LEAVE ME ALONE WITH YOUR SCIENTIFIC NONSENSE!!!)

2. The house is a mess (5 people = 5 separate messes that have a big mess orgy and produce weird half-breed messy children)

3. We probably have to march in the rain tonight. (Marching band shows no mercy on the woodwind...)

4. I have no time to do anything about the house being messy. (My schedule is a mad/hectic world of ridiculousness)

5. Did I mention how messy the house is? (This will probably not encourage me to clean the house. Elyse, stop saying it over and over like you're actually going to DO something about it.)

Good things:
1. Rockstar is coming for the weekend. (This MIGHT incite me to action about the messy house...? Hmm...on second thought, probably not.)

2. I just bought a car. Finally. (97 Chevy Cavalier...from me Moozie. Its mine starting Sunday when I head up north to pick it up. FINALLY.)

3. Ferrets FRICKIN ROCK. (My Woozles like to run around like their drunk and blind and run into things and fight each other...FERRET CONQA-RING!!)

4. Marching is a good break from Concert Band (Except when it's in the rain. Not so much then.)

5. I'm not as behind in my classes as I thought. (Except I really am and I live in a dillusional state of reality.)

6. Rockstar is coming to town... (Self-explanatory.)

I have been in a "list" mood lately.
Things I Want to Purchase in the Future:
1. A new updated digital camera with sound for video
2. A cd player for the chevy
3. Ferret sweatshirts!! (They frickin wear CLOTHES)
4. Real food. (Notice this is at the bottom of the list...I value electronics far more than nourishment.)

Tapping Out fot the Day

With emotions running at an all-time high these past few days and with the amount of band shoved in my face, I am having a burned-out night. It is one of those days when I just want to quit band and get on with my life (we all know I can't do that) BUT I will probably change my tune tomorrow. Just today...today is done. I need to sleep it off and just let it go, today is over. It was a long day and it's in God's hands now and I'm tapping out for the day.Sleep.

VT Tragedy

I'm having a hard time dealing with the emotions from the tragedy at VT today...I watched the news this morning at breakfast and it's just so...horrific. People our age, doing the same thing we are here to do with Professors who probably speak broken English or drive us nuts in early morning class hours were killed randomly. I can't imagine sitting in my early classes trying not to fall asleep as the Prof drones on and then it all being over. We are so unprepared for death sometimes...the unspoken words to our friends and family, the things we plan on doing but never get around to...do it now. Say it now. I thanked God this morning that my friends and family are safe and asked Him to help me have the courage and the time to say and do all the things I want to before my own life is over. Please, I beg you, LOVE each other hard core because we never know if something like this could happen on our campus. We're in college and because of this, we feel invincible. I admit to these feelings, but today I feel very exposed and naked to the horrible things that could happen to me and everyone I love. Please pray...or keep them in your thoughts and with those things in mind, do everything you ever set out to do while there is still time.

Woozles

It is amazing how our bodies react when a substance we rely on is taken away...I forgot to take my anxiety meds this morning and today has been horrible. I haven't had an attack, but I feel like I'm losing my mind. I can't concentrate on something for more than 3 minutes, I am missing an old best friend HARD CORE today which I haven't felt this feeling since early March, I feel sort of out of it and fuzzy...frusterating. Taking those meds ASAP when I get off work...too much to handle for my brain...

I own ferrets. Or "Woozles" as I prefer to call them. Diego and Amos who are AMAZING creatures and my house is in love with them. Diego is the smaller of the two and insists on running around exploring everything he can possibly climb/run to/burrow in and his curiosity is abundant...Amos prefers to sit on my lap and watch or snooze...we bond a lot late at night and early in the morning. He'll sit in my lap while Diego is asleep in his cage and watch TV with me or while I work on the computer. In love...

Going to see the BG Men's Chorus concert tomorrow night with Amanda and Brittany, mini-road trip! Should be a nice get-away for a bit.
I'm having trouble making decisions that could affect my next year at college immensely...I've never been on the fence more. (No I'm NOT changing my major, no worries...band stuff. )

On that note...I'm going home to rehabiliate my poor brain

It was 84 degrees Tuesday...it is now 40. This may explain why I have been sick at home the past two days (Yes, here I am again wandering the house in a perpetual daze because meds you're supposed to take at night will do that to you.) I did manage to go to my African-American lit class last night since it only meets once a week. Now I'm making spaghetti because when I'm sick with a head cold, I get STARVING (I have no idea how this is different from any other time but oh well). Back to bed...I got my 21st Birthday ring today from Grams and Auntie...I LOVE IT.
