8:12 pm	Lend me some suga, I AM yo neighbor... Okay, so let me first start off by saying that it snowed yesterday. I when I say snowed, I mean "SNOWED" mother f-ers! It was awesome. We made snowmen and played in it, and just enjoyed it. It was so gorgeous. Campus looked awesome! Oh, what a day...and it was on a Saturday...how bad ass is that? So, yeah, it was awesome. And then last night, we went to my friend Chris's house. He just got a new house and they got a hot tub installed, so they had a little party and a keg and everything, so we went over there and drank a bunch of beer and sat in the hot tub (while it was snowing, mind you)and what not. It was awesome! So, yeah, yesterday was awesome in general. So, today was good too. We just woke up and went to the rec to get a good work out in after drinkin up all those calories and carbs last night. Then we went to go eat @ Jason's Deli (since all the dinning halls are closed). Well, on the way to Jason's we passed this lowrider (don't really know what kind of car it was) car that was purple and it had one of those "for sale" signs on it, like the one's where you can write the phone # and price and stuff. Well, under who to call it said "lil' roy". We thought it was f-in hilarious. Like, we thought about writing down the number just to call and ask for lil roy. It was good stuff. That was just a little story to let everyone know how ghetto lubbock really is. Oh, and also on the way there, while we were listening to the radio, Natalie was like "hey, this is a good song" and I go "Is it the Police" and Lora all of sudden slams on the brakes and goes "WHERE!?!". It was freakin hilarious. I was like "no no, Lora, the song". It was funny. It was like the other day when Lora and I were on our way to Wal mart and she asked me "did you fart" and I said, "no, maybe it's your heat." and she goes "no, I have my shoes on" and I go, "No, Lora, your HEAT!". It was classic. She's just a little slow sometimes, nothin to worry about. Anyways, now we're all gettin ready to go out. Haven't really decided where yet, but it should be a blast, as long as there is alcohol involved. Well, hope everyone is enjoying their 3 day weekend, I sure as hell am, especially because I have a 4 day w/ no class on Fridays. (Comment on this)

9:28 am	Back to good ol' West Texas... So, I'm going back to Lubbock today. I'm following 2 friends from Denton...hopefully we wont get separted, 3 cars for 4 and a half hours in a bit much. I'm excited about going back. I'm even excited about classes. I mean, it's all new and I get to basically start over again. And hopefully do better than last term. I really am going to try harder. Honestly, maybe half my time was spent studying last semester, so if I devote atleast half and maybe a little bit more of my time, I'm sure to do good. We'll see, I suppose. So, I watched the beginning of Moulin Rouge yesterday on VH1, and then Britt and I went up to Blockbuster to say bye to Dani and buy Boondock Saints (awesome movie btw). When I got back I watched the rest of the movie (Moulin Rouge). I've noticed that for some reason, I ALWAYS think that maybe, just maybe, there's a chance Sateen might live at the end. I don't know why I think that, because I've seen the movie close to 30 times. I guess it's just a hopeless romantic thing. Strange. Well, hope everyone has a good week. I'll update from Lubbock when I get there. Current Mood: excited Current Music: The Darkness-a thing called love (funnyass song) (3 Comments |Comment on this)

2:19 pm	Life is more than money...life is still worth living...life is still more than who we are... Year end Quiz 1. What did you do in 2003 that you'd never done before? went to college, made a strong attempt (and for the most part succeeded) to break away from the K-town kidz.

What date from 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? hmmm…I guess prom or graduation…graduation actually didn’t have a strong impact on me, bc I had felt like I graduated way before the actual day (like the entire year after soccer ended) +edit: I totally forgot about when we beat the fucking hell out of fossil (8-0)in the last game (Senior night)and determined that we got 2nd in district rather than 3rd. Oh, it was amazing...so amazing...how the hell could I forget about that?!? 8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Going to college I suppose 9. What was your biggest failure? I guess Johnny, but that wasn’t so much MY failure as it was his 10. Did you suffer illness or injury? I got really sick the first week of school, other than that I was in good health. 11. What was the best thing you bought? Hmmm…I guess a computer…got it for my birthday so I guess that doesn’t count…I guess my bling-bling 12. Whose behavior merited celebration? hmm...I guess I would say Drew, bc I think he really grew up a lot in the past year 13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? Johnny 14. Where did most of your money go? clothes, DVDs, not so much CDs this year (the glory of CD burners) and shoes (millions of shoes) 15.

Dang, I don’t know…I guess Perfect by Simple Plan (that such a cliché thing to say though)…um, I think I’m going to go w/ “get low”…yes, definitely get low by the eastside boyz 17. Compared to this time last year, are you: i. happier or sadder? I guess I’d say happier, but I wasn’t sad last year, things just keep getting better ii. thinner or fatter?

Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? I don’t hate anyone 26. What was the best book you read? In the last year? Hmm…I guess the Kennedy Nixon Rivalry…but the lance Armstrong “It’s not about the bike” that we had to read for first year English was really really inspirational 27. What was your greatest musical discovery? Wow, I guess Switchfoot (I’m really into them and I don’t know why)…Yellowcard is good too 28.What did you want and get? Hmmm…I wanted to go to college (oh my whole life) and I did 29. What was your favorite film of this year? Hmmm…did old school come out in 2003? Otherwise I guess NEMO, or technically I saw Mona Lisa Smile in 2003, so that was good too…Tears of the Sun was amazing, and How to lose a guy in 10 days was so cute. 30. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? Let’s see it was my 18th birthday, and I just went out to eat and to the movies w/ a bunch of friends and they all slept over and we got trashed. Good time. 31. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? I guess a faithful boyfriend maybe too much to ask...but other than that I was pretty satisfied 32. How would you describe your personal fashion concept? Sporty, casual, but classy when I dress up. 33. What kept you sane? Friends…it’s always friends 34. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? BRITNEY SPEARS…hands down…and Sean William Scott (oh he’s gorgeous) 35. What political issue stirred you the most?

Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2003: do not ever compromise yourself for another person…even if it seems right at the time…oh and always have a designated driver 39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year: “Can you help me remember how to smile Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded Life's mystery seems so faded” “The miles just keep rollin' As the people leave their way to say hello I've heard this life is overrated But I hope that this gets better as we go” “Mile upon mile, got no direction. We're all playin' the same game. We're all lookin' for redemption. Just to pray, to say the name. So caught up now in pretendin' That what we're seekin' is the truth. I'm just lookin' for a happy endin'. All I'm lookin' for is you.” “I feel so peculiar I don't know what to say Don't let me fool you I'm not one bit afraid, no way” “Some secrets are better left unspoken Some promises better kept unbroken Too often my mouth is found wide open Full of regret Tell it like it is and soon its fiction” “What a drag how people change Once you really get to know them” “Break on through to the other side” “Seems like I should be getting somewhere. Seems like I’m neither here nor there. I can go where no one else can go.” Current Mood: hopeful Current Music: Britney Spears-toxic (3 Comments |Comment on this)

10:17 pm	Sure, I say, but I'm still shaken and quickly lose hold of the details when I realize I've just... forgoten something else as well, something very important, which by the time I hang up, no matter how hard I try, I can no longer remember what I'd meant to remember when whatever it was had first entered my head. Or had it? Maybe it hadn't entered my head at all. Maybe it had just brushed past me, like someone easing by in a dark room, the face lost in shadow, my thoughts lost in another conversation...-House of Leaves So, I have concluded that I do not like the word "moist", but I do like the word "linoleum". Strange, but I like the way linoleum rolls out of my mouth, but moist leaves a bitter taste that I do not enjoy. Some influence was given by House of Leaves.

4:00 am	Some people may come, some people may go... I've been waiting for quite a while for myself to be ready to say this (5 months actaully). I just didn't think I'd every be ready. It's time to move on and I will always love him, but I thank God every day that we are no more. Those of you who know me well will understand this 100%, but those of you who don't could most likely relate anyway. So, here it goes: A LESSON I've learned a lot of lessons In the short time I have lived I've learned how to appreciate And I've learned how to give. But in these past few years (3 to be exact) There's two I'll remember most I've learned how to love And I've learned to let go. You entered my life with such a force And left it with one as strong And though we tried to make it last We both knew it wouldn't be long. I lie at night and think about How I'm the one to blame (even though you are, in reality). If only I would have trusted you (I’m actually glad I didn’t), I could have missed this pain. And so I spent each day of my life With my heart in pieces And when I thought it could never be cured, Something happened; I expected it least (thank GOD I found out!). I guess my soul was all cried out, And it was tired of being used. And even though I know I'm guilty (you surpass my guilt), I was tired of being accused. And so I've learned to end this Without an urge to cry These are my final words to you, "I love you and goodbye."

4:50 pm	You're a blockhead, Charlie Brown... So, Christmas was good. Sad Drew wasn't here, but I'm sure he's having a blast in Europe. I actually talked to him last night. I had to work at 10 this morning. No fun. Everyone is doing their damn returns and what not. I feel like such a Scroog...but I just hate how busy our store gets around the holidays. I love Christmas...I love being with family and friends...baking cookies and "Christmas dinner"...decorating the tree, puting up lights...the way Christmas smells...singing Chrismas carols and listening to Christmas music...holiday cheer (like Whoville on the Grinch)...reading stories about Santa Clause...recieving Christmas cards from friends you haven't talked to in a while...I love everything about Christmas...except the presents. I love buying presents for friends and family, but I hate the "competition" as I like to call it. I wish things were just simple and happy. Like, I see those Lexus commercials where they buy a car for their spouse. I mean, that's nice and everything, but come on. Anyways, I'm done...New Year's Eve should be a blast. I have to work at 2 on the 1st...but that's not too bad. I will hopefully be recovered by then. I just wanted to comment on the Mtv, reality based show "Rich Girls". Personally, I enjoy watching the show. I did not realize, though, that a large amount of people hate the show and think it was a stupid idea. I wanted to know how other people feel about the show. I mean, it's not like it's hurting anybody. Realistically, there is always going to be wealthy people, as long as we live. This isn't "Brave New World". So, why don't we just except that these girls were born into an exceptionally well-off family and as they say "they don't deserve all they are given". I like the show, while I appreciate who I am, who wouldn't want a day where they could just go to the city and blow thousands of dollars on whatever they please? If you had the money, why not? At the same time, I will admit the the girls aren't as down-to-earth as they claim. On the show, the girls whine about how rich people are looked upon as snobey and uptight, and that's just a misconception, and how rich people can succeed and make something of themselves. Well, this may be true, but they beat it into the damn theme. I think they mentioned it every damn show. Here are a few select quotes straight from the girls' mouths: "So, can regular people shop here?" "Just because we're rich doesn't mean we're not good people." "Being American is going to McDonalds and milking the cows." "You know what I find weird? That people pay money for clothes. Shouldn't it be a free necessity like water?" "Ben Franklin, he invented the lightbulb." "I'm sorry, I can't have conversasions with people I don't know." "It would be fun to go to prom in a space suit." I really think that these girls are nice people, but they have a lot of growing up to do. They really try too hard. But I will continue to watch the show, because it's funny and amusing. And plus, everyone says I look like Jamie, so why not? Tonight, I think we are going to PRs (a bar/club in Ft Worth). It's lady's night and dollar fifty beers all night. We're still debating though, because there's some guys going w/ us and they have to pay $4 to get in. We might end just drinking at Derek's apartment, like we've done for the past 3 nights now. Eh, it's fun, why not? Well, hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend and has a Happy New Year if I don't update before then. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

5:49 pm	Christmas is over-commericialized...put Jesus first...anything but the damn presents... Silver bells, silver bells...it's Christmas time in the city! I don't remeber reading about Santa in the Bible...sad how commercialized Christmas has become. Wow, so men need to start buying their wives gifts before Christmas eve. I had to work until 11:45 last night, and then be there again at 9 this morning. I swear, they should give me a bed in the back room and just let me sleep there. Anyways, we were uber busy today, and it really started to get to me. I haven't really let the crowds bother me, but some people are just plain rude, end of story. In my house, I was taught not to call people dumbasses for no aparent reason. Last night, my friend, Megan, was on the register and this lady called Megan a dumbass, because she picked up the phone and the lady said that she had the change for her purchase. Well, Megan didn't hear her, because she was trying to help a customer on the phone, so aparently now she is labeled a "dumbass". And the sad part was, her like 13 year old daughter was cheering her on. She's going to grow up to be a winner for sure. Anyways, it has come to my attention that grownups can be 10xs more immature than your average child. Some people just don't understand that the person behind the name tag is a real human being. It's mostly the women. The men don't really fit in at Linens N Things, so overall they're pretty polite, but the women think they own the damn place and can boss us around. Sad. Oh well, karma's a bitch. Cindy Lou Who and the Grinch had it right. Well, Merry Christmakkah and Happy New Year. Have yourself a merry little Christmas. (Comment on this)

11:24 pm	You can always retake a class...but you can never relive a party... Well, I'm home for Christmas. Feels good to be home...but I miss my friends.:( I've just been working and catching up w/ friends since I got back. Went to the mall today to do some Christmas shopping. The mall sucks...no doubt. I'm sorry for all you guys who work at that hell hole. I mean, I work at Linens N Things, and yes it sucks around the holidays, but not nearly as bad as the mall. I got my grades today, and I barely escaped academic probation. THANK GOD!!! I mean, serioulsy, my parents would freak, maybe even make me come home. If it wasn't for my damn, non-English speaking, math class I would've done awesome. Oh well, let's just hope for better grades next semester. I'm really disappointed in myself for not meeting my expectations. I guess it happens to a lot of people their first semester. Well, I'm going to go watch some movies w/ some friends. Hope everyone had a good weekend. (Comment on this)

12:12 pm	Jerry...Jerry...Jerry I was flippin through channels after class today...and came across Jerry Springer. The theme of the show was "I'm sleeping with my stepfather". Nice, very nice. I guess it's better than the ones where the mother is sleeping with the daughter's boyfriend. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:53 am	Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow... Okay so as of today, only 8 more days til we get to go home for the holidays!!! That's exciting stuff...except for the finals that will take place in between that time:( Not exciting stuff. It snowed today! The first snow of the year...well, since I've been up here anyways. It's not much at all, but I just got really excited because I haven't seen snow in a quite some time. I've been keeping busy with school and just trying to get organized for finals and what not. Thanksgiving was good. My dad had to leave, to go back to New York, the day that I got back, so he didn't get to see us on Thanksgiving, but it was still good to see him. Drew moved into a house in Denton, which is pretty exciting for him, I'm sure. He wont be as far from work and school, and heck, he gets to live by himself again. Which also means taking on those responsibilities again, such as buying your own groceries, laundry, cleaning, paying bills and all that fun stuff. We signed our lease and gave our down payment for our apartment next year. We're going to be living in Raider's Pass. I'm living with 3 other girs (Chelsea, Whitney and Penni). We are so incredibly excited about it. We are already deciding our we're going to decorate and all that good stuff. My mom is pretty excited as well. It will be good to be able to cook our own food, take showers without flip-flops and of course, keep alcohol in our fridge without worrying about getting caught. This weekend was a lot of fun. We went to this thing called "Carol of Lights" on Friday. It's this ceremony, where they light of the whole campus w/ Christmas lights and there's like a parade thing, and we sing Christmas carols. It was a lot of fun. I went with this guy, JP. It was kinda our first date, even though all our friends were there too. We had fun. We all got drunk in the dorms after we went out to eat. On Saturday, we went to a local hockey game (my friend Sara dances for their dance team). After the game, we went to a Margarita party at my friend Jenna's house and played drinking games and what not. I met some cool people and just had a good time. On Sunday, we went out for my friend Lora's birthday. We went out to eat at On the Border and then went and saw "Honey" at the movies, which I dont really recommend going to see, especially if you're a serious dancer. It was still fun though, no doubt. You can't not have fun when you're with your friends, so it's all good. Then we went back to the dorms and just drank a little bit and went to bed. Monday was my last day of English, and today was my last day of western civ. Tomorrow will be my last day of Algebra and Poli sci. I'm very excited. No more 8:00s for next semester, thank goodness. I wont have class on Fridays either:) Well, today I'm just planning on doing some laundry and writing my English paper and maybe packing a little bit. It's way too cold to do anything, and since it's not really real snow, it's not like we can go play in it:( My meal plan ran out quite a while ago, so I basically HAVE to eat out for now on, which means I have to go out in this ridiculously windy, cold-as-fuck weather. Well, hope everyone has a good week, and good luck on your finals. (Comment on this)

3:51 pm	Remembrance Day and Veterans Day... Why is there a Remembrance Day? Why, on November 11th every year, do Canadians stop from their daily work commitments and observe this day as a special holiday? Schools close and government, public and private offices all across the nation shut down and "remember" ! Remember what? Canadians will gather on November 11th, all across our nation, at war memorials for a two minute period of silence to pay tribute to and honor the memory of the more than 100,000 Canadians who were killed in War-World war 1 and 2 and the Korean War. Family members and government officials will lay wreaths and flowers in their honor. November 11th was the day on which the fighting stopped in 1918, and this day was chosen by those who returned from the wars when they would stop and remember their fallen comrades: those who made the supreme sacrifice that we may have the freedom in this country that we enjoy today. This year Remembrance Day marks the 81st anniversary of the signing of the armistice to end the first World War, November 11th, 1918. After four years of bloody battles "the war to end all wars" was finally over. Children can't remember the 1st World War so maybe the most important thing for us to remember is that many of the dead could possibly be alive today. Many of them flew bombers while still in their teens; others were storming beaches at Dieppe, long before their 21st birthdays. Their future was as bright as my plans for next summer. They left the excitement of playing basketball, football, skiing, hockey, track and also their families, friends and school to fight for Canada. On November 11th everybody wears a poppy, a reminder of the blood-red flower which grew in the fields where the fighting occurred in the trenches. Soldiers noticed this red flower as more and more of their friends were killed and saw that these poppies would bloom over their graves. Even though World War 2 was referred to as the "war to end all wars" , unfortunately in our world today, wars are raging, and children, civilians and soldiers die in the streets of Third World Countries. Many children will never know the peace and freedom enjoyed by most Canadians Not often do we take the time to remember who fought the battles that we may have liberty. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:58 pm	NEMO Well, haven't updated in a while. Things are going good. This last weekend was parent's weekend, so my Mom and Dad came up to visit. We played Colorado on Saturday. We won. It was a fun game. It was good to eat real food and they took me shopping and stuff. Life is good. I'm pretty sick of class. But thanksgiving is pretty soon and I'm excited! I've been having a blast up @ TECH. I've met some of the coolest people here. We went to Wal-Mart @ 12 last night, because "Finding Nemo" came out today. We watched it in Sara and Lora's room till like 3 last night. There was like 10 people in there, and we were being pretty loud. I love that movie, and I'm so happy that I have it now. I'm kind of talking to this guy, Tyler, but I have no idea what our status is. I like him, but I don't know what I want right now. Like, I don't know if I'm ready to start anything right now. We'll just see what happens. Right now, we're just really good friends, and I love that, but I don't know. But anyways, I just wanted to give a quick update. Hope everyone has a good week.
