Well.. I figured its about time everyone saw me with short hair. Um. Yah.

Well, even if you didn't wanna see.. I'm posting it anyhow, so.. Nyah! ;P

Its a bit old, but.. Here's me, at the Omaha Zoo. Visiting the Desert Dome:

You'll have to type it in your browser manually, I think. Geocities is weird like that. :P

Anyway.. Uh. There you go. Enjoy?

Time:3:08 am.
Mood: drained.
Bleh. Long long day.. Between work, placement exams, and.. Yah. Went to see movie and had pizza and stuff with Rachel and AJ. Meh. I feel drained.

Work was a pain in the butt, as always, but okay. Can't wait to get another job.. The job I'm hoping for and trying for (soon) means much more money. But much less free time(12 hour shifts, ugh.). However.. I'm okay with this. Social time can wait for a bit. Not like I'm a huge social butterfly or anything like that, anyhow. And my finances could use a little boost, or two. That and when/if I start going social again.. I really can spend money on those people I care about and consider friends. Yay. ;P

Going to the school was really really draining.. Okay, the tests were anyhow. The math test frustrated me to tears, literally, while the rest of the test was fine. *sigh* That really does worry me however.. I'm going into a very math oriented field, and thats where I have the most trouble. Ick. And, with doing that particular test, and spending a very large chunk of the two hours I spent on all three tests.. Meh. I just ended up drained, frustrated, and feeling more stupid than I truly care to admit. What happened to this all being easy? Eesh. Two years out of it can really hurt, let me tell you. Eef.

Buh. And, it was a long night also. I feel sorta bad.. Because I kinda started out the 'girls night out' drained and tired, and it only went downhill from there. I'm sure I came across as more bitchy/snappish than I usually do or even intended, but.. Ah well. Sorry guys. Mrr.

And, I'm sure I could go on forever about this little thing, or that, but.. Its late, and I'm sure no one /really/ wants to hear all've it anyhow. So.. Nyah. :P I'm going to bed now.. G'night.

Mood: irritated.
*sigh* Long night.. Ended up staying at least 45 minutes longer than I was supposed to at work, but.. It should show a little bit in my next paycheck. So.. Its good.

Meh.

Anyway, thats about all thats new for now. Real post coming later, maybe.

Time:6:02 pm.
Mood: hot.
Music:A/C in my apartment.
Damn, its hot! Meh Okay, not hot-hot in the usual way.. But thick, humid, sticky, blanketed in sweat, hot. Yuck. Definately takes some getting used to, but.. So long as the A/C works, I think I'm okay. ;)

*flops* Been all over town today, doing odds and ends and errands. Finally done, for the most part. Gonna do laundry at Kate's sometime tonight, it looks like, so.. Yay for clean fresh clothes. ;P

Oh yeah.. I get to look forward to placement exams a little later this week. Talked with the college some more to work it out. Turns out I'm not gonna be going to the South Omaha campus afterall.. However, I will be going to the Fort Omaha campus, which is nice, even if its in northern Omaha. No night classes for me.. Eh. Nope.

July 2nd, 5:15 pm. Meh. See how sharp(or rusty :P) I am after, what, two years of no school? Meh.

*sigh* There are just so many classes one has to take, just to get into the computer tech program at Metro.. And, they had me somewhat set up, till they realized I hadn't gone to Metro(or any other 2 or 4 year school) before and thus needed to take placement exams also. *face palm* Oh well. At least its schooling, and its definately going to be this Fall semester. Whew.

In general, Beastspeakers love the environment almost as much as they love their animals and friends.



Secondary

Farseeker



Farseekers posses the ability to communicate over great distances via telepathy. They are great friends who know when they're needed, and seem to be able to detect others thoughts.
What

Of course.. Answer one question slightly differently, and the two are reversed. Heh.

I feel strangely...lonely. I dunno why, but, I do. Meh.

I need a hug..

Anyone?

Time:9:55 pm.
Mood: stressed.
*sigh* I think, by the end of this year.. I'll well and truly have an ulcer.

I need a new job, or another job. Just so I can pay my rent, in full, by myself. Not having to beg for a little extra from parents or relatives to make it by every month and give myself gray hair wondering where it'll come from, if at all, this time around. That and come this September, the apartment will officially be in my name, not co-signed or any of that. Then I really will be on my own.. Dad has to remind me of this nearly everytime we talk. *sigh*

Also, finding a new job isn't the easiest. I mean.. Cashiering experience gets you /nowhere/. Honestly, it doesn't. Its such a dead-end skill. Meh. At least, this has been my experience. Unless you want to be cashiering forever, its not gonna help you one bit. And cashiering is no money maker. Bleh.

Okay, that was my rant. I'll quit now. Meh. Its not much for a real update, but.. It'll have to do for now.

*snickers* Figures..


:: how jedi are you? ::


Anyhow.. In other news.. Uh. By some great miracle or something, my computer is suddenly working again. This puzzles me greatly, since its previous condition was well.. Rather dead and gone. It would seem my computer only had a near death experience, and is back.

...Hey. I'm not complaining.. Nuh uh. *pets* Good computer.. Nice computer.. Stay! *pets again* Good computer! ;D

Work keeps me busy-busy, and helping AJ move to her new place has occupied most of my free time lately, outside of work. So.. Yup. I've been busy. *whews*

Mood: giggly.
Music:XBOX game music in the background.
XBOX!! We've got XBOX! *grins* Okay.. /I/ got it. Even if I'm sure a certain someone may disagree with me.. (Me: Mine! AJ: Ours!) ;) *snickers*

Anyway.. Oh. My. *drool* Its so /pretty/!

And.. Even as I speak, AJ's playing a rental game and making lots of gasps, sighs, moans, and other such....uhm...noises.. */hides/!*

I think she...likes it... Uhm. *ducks* ;)

Mood: bored.
*giggles* We dyed hair last night.. Now I've got short dark reddish hair. Its different. Yup. And AJ went and dyed her hair black. Full deep and dark black. Not purple-y black like before.. *purrs* I like it. She looks good in it. ...Course, she does anyhow, so.. Maybe I'm just biased? ;)

I'm also in an odd mood. Which, I'm sure is bugging/annoying (or will be soon) a certain someone. ;P

Eeee. Oh well. Not long till I have to trudge off to work again. Bah. But.. Money is good. Yes. ;)

Time:9:27 pm.
Mood: sore.
*yawns* Back from work and stuffs.. But, since its been forever and a day since I updated.. Here I am. ;P

Work's been keeping me busy.. And sore. But, advil and other similar things are really really nice. Yup. Feet and back are killing me.. However, I should get used to it all soon enough. Can't wait. Don't like being so sore and stiff all the time. Ick.

It turns out, I'm also getting paid a little more than I expected. They told me 6.50 per hour, but my paycheck's been showing 6.75. Yah, its only a quarter more, but.. Its nice.

Still.. I'm looking for other things. That pay better, or better yet, offer tuition reimbursement or something like that. Would be nice. But anyhow.. Yah. Thats pretty much been my life lately.

You are the most universal mythical beast ever. Sightings of the unicorn have been reported from all over the world, even in these modern times. Unicorns are pure and incurruptible. In China, unicorns symbolised gentleness, good will, and wisdom. Christianity links the unicorn with Christ. It is said that unicorns would only allow virgin girls to see them, let alone touch them. They were easily lured into fatal ambushes by a virgin with some potchers waiting for the unicorn in nearby bushes. A unicorn's horn was a highly prised possesion, which was reputed to have great healing capabilities. With the touch of its horn, a unicorn could bring back a person who had been dead for several hours. But when disattached from the unicorn's body, the magic was suggnificantly reduced and could only protect against poison. The unicorn had the body of a horse, a unique spirling horn, and a lion's tail. They were pure white in color. Congradulations, you are a rarity amoung mythical beasts. There aren't enough of people like you in the world.

What mythical beast best represents you? Take the quiz!



Yah.. Right. Like I'm the poster child for all that is innocent and pure. Uh-huh.. ;P

But.. Oooooh. Virgins! *hides* ;D

Want To Know Which Element You Are?


Truly a rare breed, you're calm and thoughtful
but still know how to live life. Things are taken slowly but your large list of experiences (yours as well
as others) can help you adapt to new situations with little trouble or people being hurt. Unfortunately,
you're the most likely to ignore yourself over other people. Emotions rule you, and though you are quick
to kindness, your anger could scare the fiercest of creatures. Learn to relax a bit and live your own life.


Best Match: Fire, they'll pull you out of your shell and teach you plenty of things in life.

Worst Match: Water, they're too intent on their emotions to notice yours.





Streea
wasted a bunch of time making this test.



Um.. Okay. :P Anyway.. Feel better, so.. Its all good. ;D And.. /Tim McGraw/ is coming to Lincoln! *bouncies* Okay.. Yah. So, maybe thats just my little obesession and all talking, but.. Eeee. I wanna gooooo! Hope tickets aren't too expensive or anything. Tim Mcgraw. *puuuuuurr* ;)

Mood: hungry.
Hehe. Managed to find an open computer to update on, through the computer lab at UNO. Took me forever.. Sheesh. But, its much much better than library computers. Library computers are evil and just plain suck.

Anyhow.. Yeah. Guh, its hot today, but nicely breezy. Makes it better. I can't believe I'm saying this.. Me. The 'Californian'. 73 degrees..is hot? Yep. Guh. Summer is gonna kill me.

Anyway.. Might head back into the student center, get some cash, and a quick bite to eat before heading out again. Hungry.

Mrr. This has been one weird day. Okay, the last couple days(Starting last night, going into today), anyhow. Bleh. But.. Don't ask. Its stupid. Just me being moody, per usual. Or.. No. Just pissed off/bitchy. No reason, just pissy. Go figure. One can hope it'll change soon. *mutters* Though, I must say.. Its so amusing to watch people clear out of my way when I'm in such a mood. Heh. I walk, and people avoid me. Fun. ;P

*burbles* Its such a /beautiful/ day.. Warm and nice and sunny and.. *purr* Yah. I've learned to enjoy nice warm days, for as long as they last around here. But.. According to the forecast, it should stay nice for a couple days. So.. S'good.

But today, it actually got warm enough to go out bare-shouldered in a sorta tanktop, sleeve-less, shirt type thing. Hee. S'nice. Do hope it stays like this. Though.. A nice thunderstorm or something would be nice.. Heh. But, thats just me. ;)

Anyway, yah. Got everything I needed to do, done for today. Even took a little walk around the park and enjoyed the peace and quiet that gave me. Yup. Its been a good day. Definately.

Mood: indescribable.
Was a good night. Ate way too much pizza, and spent way way too much money on tokens. But hey, its all good. Had fun. :)

Mrr. Be starting work soon. That'll be good. Actual income and all. Maybe it'll wear me out enough each day so I actually sleep at night once in awhile. Not.. At like, just before dawn as has become habit of late. Bleh. 'Course.. And if I take anything for it, it just makes me groggy and bleh in the morning. Insommnia. Joy. :P

Anyway.. Yah. There's more stuff, I'm sure. I just can't put my finger on it at the moment, and such like that. So.. Next time I'm at the computer or something.

I.. Need a computer. Bad. Erph. Figures.. The instant I get used to having internet and all'a that. Being able to get on nearly any time I wanted, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.. My computer bites the big one. Big time.

*sigh* One of the first things I'm saving up for, once I get some income, is a computer. Even if its only a little step above what I had before. As long as it runs, and as long as I can get on the internet. This would be good. Yes.

Anyway.. Other than being internet deprived and the like, I'm pretty good. A little lonely and a lot restless.. But good. Mrr. And that concludes this update, for now. More later. :P
