Yesterday was Will’s 21st birthday. We had a party at his apartment, then went out to celebrate. Here’s a couple of pics. You can find more here.

Has anyone ever seen the movie Species? We’re watching it right now… one of the characters is named John F. Kerry I thought that was funny.

I’ve changed my email address because of all the spam I’ve been receiving lately. Let me know if you want the new address.

I checked my referrals today and found that my cam image was featured on a portal called Leg Humper. Eww, I have no idea how it got there. It’s kinda funny, though. All the girls are in there sexy, provacative poses and there I am, fully-clothed and holding my guinea pig I’m going to try and email the admin and request that my image be removed.

I didn’t finish my CS project on time… what a great way to start off the new semester! Last semester, I had 100, 100, 98, 88 on my CS exams and approx. 100% on all my projects except for two that I just didn’t turn in. I got a B in the class solely because of my laziness. I have to change my lifestyle, that’s just ridiculous! This time, however, I didn’t finish because I was really sick. I’m going to try and talk to my professor, but I doubt he’ll be sympathetic.

I went to the student health center today to try and find out what was wrong with me. The doctor wrote it off as an Upper Respiratory Infection (i.e. cold). I really don’t think those doctors know what they are talking about. I was in bed all weekend and I missed my classes today. I don’t think a simple cold would make me feel so bad. Oh well, I’m just going to take my meds and try to get a lot of rest.

I still don’t know what a pingback or trackback is… anyone care to enlighten me?

Earlier this week, the temperature did not go below 70° therefore I burned up in my jeans and long-sleeve shirt each day. Wednesday, I decided to wear capri pants and flip-flops to class without bothering to check the weather. Little did I know that Tuscaloosa County was under a Tornado Warning and it was about to flood outside. Needless to say, I got soaked and sick I hope it’s just a cold and not the flu, but I feel terrible! I have so much homework that I need to be doing right now, but all I’ve done this weekend is sleep and stare at the computer.

I made chocolate-chip muffins around lunchtime today, and I’ve already devoured seven of them Poor William, if he doesn’t hurry back he isn’t going to get any!

Well, I’ve given in to temptation… I’m in the process of switching from b2 to Wordpress. Don’t expect changes anytime soon, though. It’s going to take me a while.

I think I’ve corrected all the cross-browser problems with the new skin. I found this snippet lurking in my CSS code:

html>body #header { width: 580px; }

Alan sent me some pictures of Belle and Pixie from the other night. Here’s one of the pups drinking out of the same water dish… so cute!

Happy New Year everyone! I was a loser who stayed at home and watched ROTK: Extended Edition (which is so incredibly awesome!) to ring in 2005. We’re throwing Alan a 21st birthday party on Monday, so I’m saving my partying for that I hope that Santa was gracious to everyone. What did you get for Christmas? Here’s what I got:

It’s almost 4 am, so I gotta make this short. Watch Mystic River - it’s a really good movie, in my opinion. Thanks Alex, Anneke, Angelique, Chette, Natasja, Nickki, Sanne, Tatiana, and Yajaira for my Christmas gifts

New skin, btw. It’s still under construction, so mind the bugs and glitches. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

(OMG - this site has UGG boots for dogs!! Go to Accessories + Jewelry to see them )

Happy Birthday, Tuan! (12/24/04)

It’s *finally* beginning to feel a lot like Christmas here! Earlier this week, I bought a pair of Rainbow sandals (which are super comfortable, I might add) since I had given up on the cold weather. Needless to say, I only got to wear them twice

Speaking of Christmas, my mom is currently searching for me a puppy! I think she feels sorry for me because I was quite disappointed last weekend. Last Friday she phoned to tell me that her friend was giving away a toy poodle and wanted me to have her. I called the lady several times, but she never answered. Finally, I got in touch with her Sunday afternoon only to learn that she’d changed her mind about the puppy Although I expected the lady to change her mind, I was still sad. I’ve wanted a puppy for a long time, but my parents didn’t want to pay the outrageous pet deposit at my apartment. Now that I have a job, I can pay the deposit myself. At first I wanted a pound or shelter pup, but I think my mom wants me to get a full-bred instead. I just want a lapdog that I can carry around in a handbag

I got to go run some errands before the stores close. Thanks for the comments: Angela, Jem, Natasja, tuan, Brigitte, Mitu, Christy, Emma, Sam, Rach, Chette, Ni, Mike, Rebecca, kir, Michelle.

Please vote for my Halloween patch and/or Quilt Page.

Guess what I bought today? The Star Wars Trilogy on DVD! I’m a total Star Wars freak, and I can’t wait to watch ‘em. I’ve already viewed the featurettes and part of the documentary. Plus, there’s a demo for the new game, Star Wars: Battlefront, which is a lot of fun.

I finally got a job this week. Actually, it just fell right into my lap. I went to take my Economics test at the Office of Disability Services (I get testing accomodations for my ADHD) and they asked me if I wanted to work for them. I like it a lot… the people there are really nice and I get to work with a computer My hours are: 8-10:30, Monday/Wednesday/Friday; 8-11:30, Tuesday/Thursday.

I’ve been drawing quite a bit lately. I’m going to scan some of my artwork as soon as I find the time. I’m also working on yet another fanfiction - the artwork is actually for the fanfiction. Needless to say, I never finished my other one I did learn, however, that ‘never finishing a task’ is part of being an Aries! hehe

My computer sounds like it’s about to explode, so I better go. Also, William has a friend visiting from South Carolina, so I have to get ready to go meet him. I’m really sorry that I haven’t been returning comments or visiting my dailies… I still love you all very much, but I’m swamped right now. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Plugs:
Amalea - She met ‘W’… I’m so jealous!
Jenny - Hooray for baby Allan!

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers concerning the hurricane. Thankfully, all we got was rain and a little bit of wind. I’m glad that we stayed. The power was out yesterday, so we played a lot of Scrabble Now, we’re addicted. I tried to play Risk (another board game), but it just wasn’t fun to me. The boys love it, however.

William’s family has a condominium on Okaloosa Island near Destin, Florida. We heard that the island is completely submerged in water and the road is gone. We still don’t know if the condo sustained any damage. Hopefully it didn’t because it’s not even a year old.

Not too much else to talk about. I’m obsessed with the game Out of Order. If you haven’t already, PLAY IT! It’s so much fun

So apparently Tuscaloosa, AL is in Hurricane Ivan’s line of fire. Classes are cancelled for the rest of the week. Everyone is migrating northward, but William, Alan, Andy, and I have decided to ride it out. My parents are mad because they say I’m putting my life on the line, but I’d rather stay here than risk my life trying to get home in the midst of all the crazy evacuees. We just got back from Wal-Mart — they are sold out of everything! It’s not like we’re on the coastline or anything (Here’s a map of Alabama, if you’re curious where I am in relation to the storm.) I’m actually getting kind of nervous about it, though… we’re supposed to get wind gusts up to 80 mph and I have a row of trees directly behind my apartment. Coco and I are packing up and heading to my boyfriend’s basement apartment until the storm passes. I heard on the news a bit ago that they are expecting us to lose power for at least a week. I can’t go that long without electricity!!! Hopefully, their predictions are wrong.

For some strange reason I picked up a Crimson White (our campus newspaper) on the way to Calculus Monday morning. Even though I know I should, I hardly ever read the newspaper. Well, I’m glad that I read it that day because someone wrote a disturbing article that insulted both my politics AND gender!

I spent literally the entire afternoon working on a response to that piece of garbage. My friend Elizabeth called me this morning and told me that they published my article! However, they edited it for length. I was disappointed with the changes. You can read the original version below and the edited version here. Let me know what you think of it. Keep in mind that my argument is not meant to be political, but rather a response to his stereotype of females across my campus.

Congratulations Mr. Flanagan! You got exactly what you wanted ‚Äö?Ñ?¨ attention from the ‚Äö?Ñ??white, upper-middle to upper class, Greek-affiliated‚Äö?Ñ?? ladies across campus. Too bad, however, it‚Äö?Ñ?¥s not exactly the kind of attention for which you were hoping.

I was quite amused by your article. Now whenever I see a ‚Äö?Ñ??W ‚Äö?Ñ?¨ The President‚Äö?Ñ?? sticker on an SUV, I know exactly who‚Äö?Ñ?¥s driving ‚Äö?Ñ?¨ an attractive young woman who depends on the brain of her male counterpart in order to function. Are only the Republican women mindless zombies? What about a female Democrat who plasters Kerry/Edwards stickers on her car? Did her father and boyfriend dictate her actions as well?

I‚Äö?Ñ?¥m proud to admit that I have a ‚Äö?Ñ??W‚Äö?Ñ?? sticker on the back window of my Isuzu Rodeo SUV. I believe I‚Äö?Ñ?¥m speaking on behalf of all the women who fall inside of your absurd stereotype when I say that I‚Äö?Ñ?¥m genuinely concerned for the future and well-being of our great nation. I‚Äö?Ñ?¥ve made it a priority to study and understand politics so that I can defend my ideals when challenged. I even suffered through the entire Democratic National Convention in order to learn where John Kerry and his party stand on the current issues. Furthermore, let me just say that this ‚Äö?Ñ??sweet, innocent girl‚Äö?Ñ?? is willing to look anyone in the eye and explain why I stand behind our current president 100%. Yes, I probably will say something about how Bush has made our country safer. Has there been a single attack on US soil since 9/11? Then, I‚Äö?Ñ?¥ll probably ask what Kerry plans to do differently. I‚Äö?Ñ?¥m willing to bet you or anyone else will be stumped by this question since Kerry has made it a point to avoid answering it. Not one time have I heard why John Kerry would make a good president. Instead, he‚Äö?Ñ?¥s told me numerous times why George W. Bush makes such a lousy one. Let‚Äö?Ñ?¥s not forget that John Kerry ‚Äö?Ñ??honestly supported‚Äö?Ñ?? the same war that he now denounces.

Putting politics aside, I‚Äö?Ñ?¥m astonished that someone would make such a foolish assumption concerning the young ladies across the University of Alabama campus. Any woman ‚Äö?Ñ?¨ liberal/conservative, black/white, rich/poor, Greek/independent, etc. ‚Äö?Ñ?¨ should find herself greatly offended by such an insult to her intelligence. And I thought the days of male chauvinism were long gone… I guess I was wrong.

As of today, I hope to be back on track for blogging and updating as long as we don’t lose power I’m also going to try and return comments and visit my dailies. I’m still getting settled into my classes, so please bear with me. Thank you all for the suggestions concerning an Add-On domain. I think I’ve figured it out. When it’s up and running, I’ll post the link.

Thanks for all the comments: Arwen, Carrie, Cherr, Chette, Christine, Dionne, dodo, Elle, Kara, Katy, kitsune, Lauren, Melissa, Michelle, Rach, Sanne, shellie, and tuan.

Today was my last day of summer classes Hooray! Fall semester starts in 14 days (August 25)… I can’t believe the summer is almost over! Speaking of next semester, I updated my schedule. I’m taking 16 hours worth of hard classes — no procrastinating for me, or I’ll have terrible grades!

As I said in the previous post, we had to replace the carpet in our home due to water damage. Sunday afternoon while I was helping my mom carry some things upstairs, I stepped on a carpet tack and ripped my foot open. It wasn’t that bad of a cut, but my parents still forced me to go to the clinic and get a Tetanus shot I didn’t feel the effects of the shot until Monday afternoon. Not only my left arm, but my entire body is STILL hurting!

I got a new cell phone yesterday — I love it! It’s a Motorola v400 camera phone. (I figured out how to upload ringtones and graphics to it for free :)) William bought me Kill Bill Vol. 2 on DVD at midnight last night. If you’ve seen both Volumes 1 and 2, which is your favorite? I liked the first one for the fights, but the second one for the storyline explanation, so it’s a tough decision. Vol. 2 has a cool deleted scene featuring Bill. I have no clue why it wasn’t in the movie. Since I’m short on server space, I moved my Radio Blog over to Tunapuff.Net — Tuan is sooooo awesome for hosting me! Go give him a hug

I’m falling asleep typing this, so goodnight. Thanks: nGan, tuan, Jenny, leila, Sam, Lisa, Cindy, Rach, Michelle, Tarah, Jasmine, Dionne, Baoxin, Christine, Anneke, and Kitten.
