Hi I'm Bubs, welcome to my home on the web!

Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 24-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.

Domo Domo Domo

You know what would be really cool? If I could go to bed at a decent hour instead of staying up all night and sleeping until 3pm the following day O_o It’s 5:15am and needless to say, I haven’t slept tonight. What is wrong with me?!

Any of you American readers have big Independence Day plans? I sure don’t! I’m in Tuscaloosa all by myself :cry: I should’ve gone home so that I could watch fireworks with my deddy and mommy but NOOOO, I had to sleep all day yesterday. My friend Jennifer, who shares my passion for consuming mass quantities of sushi and shrimp scampi, said that she’d be back in town today. Maybe she’ll go grab a bite to eat with me ;)

RaWwRR! I’ve been giving William a non-stop guilt trip for leaving me all by myself while he ran off to Washington D.C. for the first month of summer break. I conned him into buying me some Domo-kun toys - a pen and plush. I can’t wait until they arrive! I know I’m jumping on the bandwagon 3 years late, but I’m totally obsessed with Domo-kun! I recently watched the video clips - he’s soooo cute. Speaking of the clips, does anyone know where I can find translations/subs?

I’m going to go grab some breakfast (two Chic-Fil-A chicken biscuits to be exact! :9) Nevermind, Chic-Fil-A was closed for the holiday :grr:

Pixie Come Home!

I’m so lonely :cry: My parents took Pixie home with them last weekend. She’s getting spayed on the 17th of March. I never realized how much I would miss her! It’s just not the same without the little furball chewing on my hair in the middle of the night. I call my parents every day to check up on her. She’ll come back home with me Spring Break (March 25 - April 4). Just a couple of weeks!

I got paid yesterday, so I went on a mini shopping spree :spin: I just have to post a pic of my new rain boots! I’ve been wanting a pair since Christmas time, but haven’t been able to find them anywhere. I don’t like the hot pink laces on the front, but hey, beggars can’t be choosers ;)

New Rain Boots
Remember when I mentioned that the left Shift key on my laptop wasn’t working? I managed to skirt this issue thanks to Caps Lock and the right Shift key. Now, both of them have ceased to function. I had to borrow the keyboard from Will’s computer in order to type this entry :stressed: DON’T DRINK COKES BESIDE YOUR LAPTOP! That’s why my keyboard is messed up in the first place.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Have Some Respect

I just want to take a moment and rant about a huge pet-peeve of mine :grr: Thanks to my ADHD, in order for me to get anything accomplished school-wise, I have to force myself to go to the library or computer lab, otherwise, I will go home and sleep, surf the net, etc. After my 2 o’clock class, I head over to the lab to work on my CS project. About 10 minutes later, two students start carrying on a conversation… and they weren’t whispering either! Another student answers his cell phone inside the lab. This goes on for about an hour. Usually, I have my iPod and I can drown out the idiots, but the battery died this morning and I had to sit and listen to them chatter on and on about nonsense. For heaven’s sake people, have some respect! No one wants to hear about your stupid project or girlfriend or ’swampers’ on your truck.

Thanks for listening :)

I saw a girl wearing a liger shirt earlier today :rofl: A liger is a cross between a lion and a tiger, known for its skills in magic. If you haven’t seen Napoleon Dynamite already, SEE IT! It’s hilarious… you’ll be quoting it forever.

Broken CD Player

Hope you all had a great Halloween weekend! What did everyone do? Friday night, William, Andy, and Alan threw a party. They had quite a turnout. I’ve posted some pictures in my album. I was Jeanie :) Saturday night, Andy and his girlfriend, Mary, Alan, and his girlfriend, Erin, went to see Saw with William and me. It had a good twist and some scary parts, but overall, I thought it was pretty stupid. I’m extremely picky about movies, though.

I discovered a new internet radio station that I adore — StreamingSoundtracks.Com. While at work Thursday morning, I was tuned in and heard a really cool song from Matrix: Revolutions. After work, I rushed to buy the cd, ripped open the plastic wrap, and put it in my cd player. Before I even got to hear a single note, my CD player messed up with 5 cds, including my brand new cd, stuck inside :frown: It’s a pre-installed disc changer, so there’s no hope of me removing any of the trapped cds myself. On top of that, there are no Isuzu dealerships in Tuscaloosa, so I’m going to have to take a roadtrip just to get it fixed :grr:

That’s about it. If you’re a Qbee member, please vote for my Halloween patch and/or Quilt Page :devil: Before you go, check out the new Caption Challenge. Thanks for all the wonderful comments: tuan, Michelle, Emma, Sam, Rach, Chette, manda, Anneke, Vera, Dorie, Aneesah, Melissa, Jenny, Chette.

So Much To Do!

I can’t believe it’s already 3 am. I’ve been in bed since 1 am, but I’ve been online responding to emails x_x Oh well, nice try I guess? I have a lot to do tomorrow, so I cannot sleep late. Here’s my to-do list:

1) Clean apartment, Coco’s cage
2) Return Kritter Krawler
3) Register CS course
4) Pick up parking decal
5) Buy tampons :grr:
6) Mail bills
7) Deposit money into bank
8) Replace knob on washing machine

People are moving into the apartment above me and they are so incredibly loud :stressed: They’ve been moving stuff all night long, making too much noise. On top of that, they keep yelling! Maybe things will calm down a bit after they’re situated.

*sighs* I guess that’s all for tonight. I’m eagerly awaiting Naruto Episode 94… so is William. I’ve gotten him hooked, also :D hehe

Thanks for commenting: tuan, Linze, Dionne, Cindy, jessi, Sam, Christine, Colette, Elyse, Anneke, and natasja.

Road Rage

I’m at home on the painfully slow AOL dial-up, so I think I’m going to take a short break from blogging over the holiday weekend. However, that decision is subject to change, so stay tuned. I’m exhausted from my 3-hour drive, so I’m gonna make this entry short and sweet…

I hate driving home from school. Traffic was especially terrible today! People really can’t drive. (I can’t either, but there’s no way I’m going to admit that :lol:) I have severe road rage. Actually, I recently learned from my physician that ADHD people (like myself) suffer from road rage. Now I have an medical excuse for rear-ending someone :devil: {Boys, shield your eyes} I’ve had the worst headache and cramps lately. My period is irregular, so I never know when it’s coming. I started yesterday, but my previous period was 3 months ago. I can’t believe I just shared that totally useless information with the entire world wide web. Oh well.

BubblesSOC received a great review from Teabox today, I was quite astonished and honored. I’m falling asleep at the computer, so that’s all the news for today… goodnight.

Image Theft

Sorry for not posting… I’ve been lazy lately :no: But I have been working on a new layout! I hope to finish it by next weekend. I have a Spanish test tomorrow and a Computer Science project due by Friday. Needless to say, I haven’t started on either of them! My New Years’ Resolution of not procrastinating in my studies has failed miserably…

:grr: Just a quick rant. I don’t usually get mad when people copy me or steal my stuff, but I stumbled upon a website that made me really mad…

Check out the exchange images used on this site. Compare them to my exchange images. As you might have noticed, they are EXACT duplicates. Now, mouseover her gray sample image… you will see ‘BubblesSWAP’ on the status bar. Apparently her main site, which is a forum, is pretty popular because it has 400+ members. It doesn’t really fit the stereotype of someone who would steal and copy, but it still makes me really angry! :stressed:

In other news, I am so excited that Lord of the Rings: Return of the King won the Golden Globe for Best Picture! It totally deserved it… this year and last year. The movie also received awards for Best Director (Peter Jackson) and Best Original Score. I hope it wins a couple of Oscars, too!

Anyways, I gotta go study now :study: Thanks xuan, Peter, Yuna, su, Renata, kitty, Mandi, and adam for commenting!

Time for a Break

Sorry for that lil lack of posting… I haven’t been in a blogging mood. I’m really ready for this year to get over! I am sooooo sick of school x_x This week is exam week, but it is also my last week!

I bought an awesome purse and picked out the digital camera that I want for Christmas over the Thanksgiving holidays (pictures are below). Other than the camera, I haven’t asked for much. I asked William for a Louis Vuitton wallet and a Von Dutch cap. (Hopefully he will read this hehe :D) Earlier tonight while browsing Ebay, I stumbled upon the ULTIMATE Christmas present… a Louis Vuitton dog carrier!!! I’m gonna wake up early in the morning and bid on it.

As usual, life is pretty boring right now. I don’t have much to say, so I’m gonna cut this one short. Hope everyone is doing well… thanks Becster, kir, dodo, Vivian, Peter, xuan, and Danielle for your comments.

Before I forget I wanted to thank Dodo and Annia for plugging me… I was very honored to find a link to my site from their blogs :) Thanks so much girls! Now, it’s time for me to go to bed… night night.

Stupid Online Shopping

2 weeks ago, I ordered a shirt from polo.com, and I still had not received it, so I called the customer assistance hotline this afternoon. The guy told me that they were temporarily out of those shirts, so they just cancelled my order - without even notifiying me! :? He also told me that polo.com did not have a backorder policy, although the website clearly states:

Back Orders and Partial Shipments
Occasionally, due to high demand, some items may be temporarily out of stock. We will update you with the projected shipping date of such items via email or letter. Back orders will be shipped using the same routing method of the initial order as soon as the item becomes available. (Please note: if we ship multiple items in partial shipments, you will be charged only one shipping charge.)

This really angered me… moreover, he had no idea when they would get more shirts in stock :stressed: This makes me not wanna order anything from there again, however, I really want the shirt! hehe

Not much happened today… I had a meeting with my advisor this afternoon about classes for next semester. It will be a toughie! I just finished playing Halo with my boyfriend and his roommates, now I have to go study :study: … fun fun!

Guess Im gonna call it a night. Thanks natasja, sonni, kel, Kathy, Christine, kir, brittney, and Anjana. As always, I really appreciate them!

Be sure to wish Anjana a Happy 14th birthday! :D and thanks to Natasja for the plug. Goodnight everyone.
