Blah

It’s 6 am. I’m awake because I’ve been sick all night. I think its either what I ate for dinner or my sinuses. Either way, I feel like crap. I’m also bored, so I thought I’d blog to keep my mind off my sickness x_x

Here’s Friday Five for this week: If you…

1. …owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve?
Definitely Mexican… yum!
2. …owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell?
Cute stuff like Sanrio or San-X, but made by me (points to butterfly above)
3. …wrote a book, what genre would it be?
Fiction/Drama/Action - either about a girl in the mafia or a medieval princess :lol:
4. …ran a school, what would you teach?
English!
5. …recorded an album, what kind of music would be on it?
Umm… I really can’t sing, so no one would buy it haha

Can anyone tell me why on my Fly Away skin that the ‘Back to the Top’ link doesn’t work? Check out the bottom of the About Me page while viewing the Fly Away skin then click on the link… nothing happens… but it works on my other skins?? Why does HTML have to be so dang confusing?!? Blah.

The cord that connects my laptop to the charger has a hole in it, so it keeps flipping back and forth from charger to battery. It’s driving me insane! :frown: I have to remember to buy some electrical tape or something. This laptop is only a year old and I’m already tearing it up. Sad…

I found this quite amusing :rofl: I must try to make myself get some sleep now. Q*Bee members — don’t forget to join the Q*Bee Topsites. Plugs to Tuan and Mariely for commenting. Hope everyone has a better day than I’m having right now!

Wal*Mart = Hell

My worst nightmare has become a reality… I’m out of toliet paper in my apartment!!! :cry: I guess I’ll hafta bum some from William or Rachael because I’m too lazy to go to Wal*Mart and buy more. I really don’t like Wal*Mart… it’s always a jungle in there. I’ve barely escaped with my life, not to mention my groceries, on more than one occasion. Someone told me that I was the only person in the world who hated Wal*Mart. Is this true or do I have fellow haters??

I’m so sleepy today for some reason. I went to bed early last night and woke up late this morning, so I really don’t know why I’m tired. Right now I’m debating whether or not I should attend my 2 o’clock class. I need a nap before I have to start studying. Friday, I have a huge Spanish exam that I dread. Well, William just called and I think I’m gonna skip my class and head to the pool :tan: Am I not the model student?? Tomorrow I’ll probably be complaining about my bad grades…

I submitted my website for review at 6:57 P.M. Reviews. I’m sure that they will tear it to shreds LOL I also won a Golden Web Award, which was totally unexpected.

Catch Up

Sorry the lack of blogs over the last few days. Usually, I post at 4 or 5 AM, but I’ve actually been going to bed at a decent hour!! :shocked: Shocking, I know. I went to the doctor last week and she told me that I need to change some of my ways if I want to start feeling better, so I’m trying to get more sleep.

This will probably be a long post because I have a lot of things to say! Over the past weekend, I went home for the first time since December. I hadn’t seen my family (including my doggy) in forever. I also got a new hairstyle this weekend — more blond highlights, a few bangs, and a body wave. I’m actually disappointed with the results because I wanted lighter highlights and more body, but I’m not gonna complain. Yesterday, I treated myself to a manicure and a pedicure. Today, I bought 2 more fish. :fish:

I absolutely love springtime! :D The weather here has been beautiful the past few days. I’m so much happier in the spring than in the winter… I guess a lot of people are like that. I wanted to lay out by the pool this afternoon, but it wasn’t warm enough today. Hopefully I can later this week.

No updates on the site… but I’m in the mood to begin a big project, so expect something new coming soon hehe. I recently joined the USA Clique and I’m currently participating in a referral contest. If you join, please note my referral code: AL363. Contest winners get lotsa goodies, so help me out!

If you are a Q*bee member and have traded patches with me, you are welcome to use my *new* patch for your quilt. As promised, I’m plugging the cutest creation ever — The Tallest Ice Cream.

Whew! :dizzy: That was a terribly long post… so sorry! Anyways, thanks to my commenters: kir, Rach, Babsie, Brigitte, Iva, natasja, Angelique, Kasie, Katy, Tina, Qing, and Brenda — don’t forget about the new challenge!

Cookies, Tests, and Movies

I’m bored, so I decided to blog. I have a research paper due tomorrow - in SPANISH! Of course, I’ve yet to start on it. The good thing is that it only has to be 2 pages long. The bad thing is that I also have to study for a Philosophy test… :frown: I hate school.

It’s girl scout cookie time!! :woot: I bought my box of Caramel DeLites this afternoon hehe I absolutely love those cookies.

Mel’s Passion of the Christ opened yesterday. I can’t wait to see it. A couple of my friends have seen it already and said it was great.

I think that I am gonna take my afternoon nap now. Thanks Xuan, Tatiana, and Yajaira for your comments and Joann and Leann for the sweet email.

Sex and the City

I just finished watching the Sex and the City series finale… it was great!!! I cried and cried throughout the entire episode. I’m not going to give away any details, but I’ll just say that it ends with quite a bang :)

I forgot to mention yesterday that I was accepted into the adorable clique, Robotic Elite.

Well, I gotta go study for my 3 tests coming up this week :P Wish me luck! Thanks Mariela for commenting.

The Weekend

Rach and I went to Birmingham to shop this afternoon. I bought some boots, panties, a nightgown, and an adorable little crab hehe He reminds me of the mafia crabs in Finding Nemo. You can hold him in your hand. He pinched my finger with his tiny pincher! It was cute :) Right now, he is hiding under a rock in the aquarium.

This weekend has been quite adventurous :lol: Friday afternoon, some friends and I visited the Old Bryce Hospital (a mental institution that was abandoned in the 60s) It’s a really spooky place that is supposedly haunted… you can read about it here. Anyways, to make a long story short, we got the bright idea to go back later that night. We stumbled upon some other thrill-seeking college kids whose car tires had been SLASHED while they were touring the building! It was really really creepy… There actually is a lot more to the story, but it would be way to hard to explain in typing.

So sorry for cancelling the contest, but I just don’t have time for it right now. Classes are good, by the way. I like all my teachers. The apartment is awesome! When I finish decorating, I will post some pictures. Before I go, I will leave you with a fun fact: Did you know that an octopus can have an erection? Just thought I would share… I think it is very appropriate for the layout ;)

Check out Sugary-Sweet’s *adorable* new layout! Thanks to my one, faithful commenter, Xuan… hope everyone has a good night!

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

Midnight Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, William and I went to see LOTR: Return of the King…. there are no words to describe its greatness. I decided that it was the best movie that I have ever seen! :love: The entire audience would clap and scream during the good scenes. One girl even bawled throughout the final scenes! The movie didn’t end until 4 am, but it was worth it. We had a lot of fun. (By the way if anyone else has seen ROTK, please let me know what you thought about the movie!)

Before ROTK, Will and I watched The Last Samurai. ROTK was sold out, so we bought tickets to the other movie so that we could sneak into ROTK :devil: hehe. The Last Samurai was really good, but we left before the end so we wouldn’t be late to ROTK. I wanna go back so I can see the ending!

In other news, I quit RA. I hated it so much, especially the people that I worked with (except Patrick ;)). It was a huge ordeal, but it worked out for the best. My parents bought me an apartment! It’s a 2 bedroom 2 bath and it’s super-nice. Now I don’t have to live in the shoe-box dorm room any longer. I can’t wait to finish moving in. I will post some pictures of it IF I get my digital camera for Christmas LOL

Finally, I’m finished with school for the semester! Despite the hades I suffered through as an RA, I actually ended up with pretty good grades: A in Philosophy, A+ in Psychology, A+ in CS 202, B+ in English, and A- in Spanish. I was upset about the B+ in English, but I did my best and that’s all that counts.

Special thanks to Bex, Donna, Laila, Natasja, and Tatiana for spreading some Christmas cheer! Be sure to check out the gifts that they gave me.

Well believe it or not, it’s past my bedtime :sleep: Thanks Jenny, kir, Amy, and annia for commenting. Hope everyone has a pleasant evening/morning!

poll: What’s your favorite trilogy?

Only 2 More Days

Only 2 more days of school until Thanksgiving break! I’m so ready for a vacation :spin: School is stressing me out! Also, I miss my family… I haven’t seen them in a while. And a home-cooked meal will taste so good! I’m sick of fast food :confused:

I bought the new Britney cd yesterday… I love it! Especially number 6 (Toxic). However, I have listened to it so much I’m almost tired of it hehe.

Nothing much else to say. I have a Philosophy paper due Monday that I have to write tomorrow. On top of that, I have a Philosophy test and CS assignment. :grr:

Anyways, hope everyone is doing well. All the skins are back up now and I fixed the validation problem in the comments section - thanks Peter for pointing it out :D I’ve also been brainstorming more content to add. Hopefully I can make some changes over the break.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I found a link to a porn site lurking in my referrals list. I couldn’t figure out for the life of me why it was there! Evidently, my site isn’t the only one encountering this problem. (Read Annia’s post for more details) That’s just disgusting :no: I wish I knew how to get it out of there… if anyone does, PLEASE let me know!

Thank You: xuan, Anjana, Jen, Becster, Jennifer, kir, Ana, Yajaira, Stephanie, Peter, Karina, Eve, and Maria. I’ll try my best to return the favor as soon as I get the chance!
