now past pre-teen level, and you're beginning to
display some more mature content in your life


"Which Movie Classification Are You?"
Test created by Jamie - take it here.


You are Civilian Calvin!
You don't get to travel much outside your neighborhood, but you still manage to get in plenty of trouble. When you're not acting up, you like to wax philosophical.

If I lived in Middle-Earth, it would be in:
The Shire

The rolling green hills, the springtime weather, and especially being surrounded by the ones you love makes the Shire a comfortable area for you. You love being surrounded only by the ones you care about, and you only desire this in an environment that is vast and open to nature, unlike in the cities or the caves.




What Pattern Are You?




Made by many not-so-well-known companies you really don't get the praise or popularity you deserve. Fruit, refreshing, and orange. Now if you weren't caffeine-free I might drink more of you.
Find your inner cola.


There's only one problem with that quiz and that is that the can should be Fanta. I should be Fanta. not orange, not sunkist, FANTA.



Take The Ice Cream Flavour Test!*




OK I'm done. But if anyone reading this by chance knows of a Chrono Trigger quiz tell me!
Why do people play the same 5 songs over and over again? It sucks. But anyways, I have this stupid paper to write (at least a draft) for tomorrow and I am about a third done with it so I have to work on it for hours tonight. Man I want to go home! I can't wait. Only two more weeks and I'll be sleeping in my own bed again. I miss my bed at home; I think I took it for granted. I miss my room and I miss watching tv. And home cooked meals. OHHH do I ever miss that. I even miss frozen pizza. But I miss Jake's even more. Jake's pizza is the best ever, just like the Dykesville Bowl's cheese curds. OH I MISS CHEESE CURDS SO BAD!!! It's a Wisconsin thing and the moment you cross the border people either think you are talking about cottage cheese or actual cheese curd. No, I am talking about the cheese that you lightly batter and/or bread, and fry it. So good. People in Illinois don't know what they are missing.

One thing I know I will be glad to leave is the soy smell. I think I'd rather smell the paper mill back home than the smell of soybeans. I live in the soybean capital of the world. WSOY, Soy Capital Bank, Soy this, soy that. Decatur is worse obsessing about soy than the whole of Wisconsin obesses with cheese. And many people on campus hate the smell. Why do they put it on everything then? I'm going to take a nap in a little while and clear my mind for writing the paper tonight. So bye.
I was bored so I'm taking tons of these quizzes and stuff so ok.

Monday, April 29, 2002

I was reading someone elses journal and I was wondering about maybe in the future putting my journal under the other site that Paul is making me. But I'm still not sure. I'm not good enough at HTML yet to really make the site or my journal look cool but I'm learning HTML little by little as I go along. I know the basics. But in order to have my site look unique I'd have to erase the template and do some other crap I don't want to do especially since no one ever reads this (or I'm assuming; no one's read it today yet). But what am I thinking? The journal is 5 days old. It's way too new.
I hope that just a little while ago, I just put my clothes through the laundry for the last time in my freshman year of college. I hope the laundry in Oakland is better than the one in Mills, but you know, I've noticed a significant improvement in the dryers as the year progressed. So that's good. If the dryers suck next year I'm going to a laundromat.

Boa, Adam, and some other people were having fun with Erick (my RA) drawing with chalk on the walls. Erick was washing it off. It was mostly Boa. I can see some places where Erick missed, particularly every room number above the door has a green chalk X through it. But anyway, I had to ask Erick for a dryer sheet (he didn't have any, but anyway) it was me, Boa, Erick, and a girl (I forgot her name, she is Erick's friend) and Erick was holding a mug. Boa was standing nearby. All of a sudden Erick flings the contents of the mug (water) at Boa and he was wet. Then Erick refilled his water and poured it all over the girl. Then she got mad so she shoved Erick against the door trying to pour the remaining water on Erick. I helped by getting the jug of water with the little pushie-thing that when you push it water comes out and held it over his head but there was so much commotion but it was so funny. Funny stuff. I wish more stuff like that happened around here. I need to have more fun. I don't go to many parties (I got invited to a frat party once and I almost went but instead I went out with some other friends and that was fun too).

Oh yeah I got Fanta now!!!!!!!!! FANTA ROCKS!! 2 12-packs. I love Fanta orange and grape. Haven't tried strawberry (I tried it in mexico and it was ok but it lacked the tartness the other two had) and I don't really want to try pineapple. But I bet some peole are drinking that because it is unique. I think they should bring over lemon. They have lemon everywhere else and it is so good. It's not like Fresca or Sprite or anything like that. It's more like Sunkist lemonade or something. it's really good I had it in England. I'd rather have lemon than pineapple. I wonder what made them choose pineapple? Oh, well. I hope Fanta becomes as popular as it once was with all the different flavors. These are the flavors I have seen from websites and they are world-wide. I want to try all of them. Orange, Grape, Strawberry, Pineapple, Lemon or Citron, Root Beer, Mango, Lime or Pomelo(not sure if this is lime, grapefruit, or another flavor), Ginger Ale, Red Cream, Diet Orange or Orange light, Pink Grapefruit, Exotic (mmm wonder what this is?), Herb Orange, Mandarin Orange, Berry, Melon, Orange Bitter, Grapefruit, Cassis (Currents?), Fruit punch, Litchi, Muscat, Pear (la France), Apple, Minaminoshima Blend, Clear Peach, Golden Pineapple, Golden Muscat, Clear Pineapple, Squash Punch, Peach, Tropical Punch, Pinefruit (is this pineapple?), Green Apple, Black Orange, Iced Tea, Quinine Water, Tonic Water, Madness, Latina, and I think that's it. A lot of those I don't even think they make anymore. But I don't care. Fanta is awesome!
Well, today is founder's day and it is beautiful outside and I am in here typing a blog. Am I insane? No, I'm just bored but I will go outside in a little bit. Plus, someone is mowing the lawn and I am sure I'll be fine but I don't want my allergies to act up again. They are not too bad except my eyes are the worst. They get unbearably itchy. So I'm not going outside right now. I also learned that my interview paper thank God is now not due until the 15th! YES!!! Wow the month is almost over and the year is almost over! The school year, I mean, not 2002. OK What else. I don't think I have anything to say ok bye.
Well, I have to get going on these program notes for Juries. Blah. I don't wanna do them, but it has to be done.

As of right now, I'm going to start something in my blog that I am going to post every day until the 15th:
Countdown:
7 more days of class
15 more days of school
17 days till I go home
4 finals
2 papers

There we go. The countdown begins. Two and a half weeks left of school. One and a half weeks til dead day. The pancake breakfast which is at 10:00 at night is upon us. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel; the lights belong to my dad's VW passat, and my mom, my dad, and my sister are in the car. They are driving (albeit ever so slowly) through the tunnel on their way to pick me up and take me home for the next 3 months! Cool, huh?

Sunday, April 28, 2002

I'm bored. But in the back of my mind I'm thinking I have to do tons of stuff tonight. OK, maybe not TONS, but some stuff. I have to write my program notes for juries (man, that's coming up FAST!), and I'm going to interview bobby sometime tonight. He should be up late, since he slept late. Let's see what else? I don't know. Maybe that's it. The year is winding down. I have no more choirs... Vocal Jazz and Millikin Men are done. I'm not sure if MVOP is done but we don't have any more concerts. Many classes are on their last leg, finals are coming up in a week and a half oh my God a week and a half? Wow. But it will be fine. I don't have finals for half of my classes. 2 of them are choirs, one is critter and I bet our final is handing in our research paper, one is ear training we didn't have one last year. So, I have Theory, Seminar, Diction (I may not have a final in that class either), and Communications. And Juries, if you want to count that.

Paul is putting my website onto a server without ads so within the next few days I'm going to start using the other name. I'm still not sure how to update it using his server yet, I hope I can figure it out. He says he's giving me an FTP so I hope that isn't a screen with all HTML although I think I'll get the hang of it. I can make my way by with html.

I had a weird dream last night. I just remembered it. I ran away from home for some reason, and I was running away. Literally. Then some people caught me. It ended up that I performed in a musical or something and I stayed with these people. They were good people. I enjoyed the musical. But they wouldn't let me go home. They wouldn't even let me contact my parents. But then I snuck and called mom and told her what happened and I didn't give the address to where I was staying but they came and watched the show like 8 times. Finally I confronted the people and were like "Hey this is nice and everything but I have to go home." And they are like "But you signed a contract. You forgot to read the fine print. You can't." Then I said, "this is what I think of your contract." And I tore it up. They got upset and they are like "You shouldn't have done that! The big guy sees this he'll kill you." The big guy was ok before but he looked like he was in the mafia. When I heard that I got scared that he was and ran out of the house and ran away. Luckily I didn't give them my home address (it was really far away anyway) and then I was still running away from the people when I woke up. It was a little ironic because I have been really homesick for the last 24 hours. I miss Wisconsin. I miss cheese curds. I miss Jake's pizza. I miss HILLS.
I WANT TO GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so sick of this campus right now. The Milli-bubble is taking me over. Right now a car squeeled out side. I'm sick of the F***ing train that passes by the window and blares the horn every day because the train conductor hates Millikin. I'm sick of going to class everyday. I'm sick of mom calling me to get good grades on almost a daily basis because she is paranoid that I won't get the 3.4 I need to keep my scholarship. I'm sick of not being able to go ANYWHERE because I don't have a car. I'm sick of loud people and parties. I'm sick of drunk people. I'm sick of reading boring crap I don't want to read and in discussions we talk about it anyway so why read it. I'm sick of sleeping less than 6 hours a night more than half the week. I'm sick of getting up at 8 every weekday (7:45 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.) I'm sick of not being in Oakland. I'm sick of this stupid reserach paper. I'm sick of a lot of stuff.

I'll probably miss it by the time August rolls around...

Strawberry: 30/100 Pear: 20/100 Banana: 30/100 Tomato: 25/100 Lemon: 5/100

Take the What Fruit Are You? test by Ellen and Aaron!


I am a strawberry. Fun stuff.

I am so upset right now. I went to give blood ths morning. I like giving blood because I am helping people. Well, I get there, and I find out I can't give blood until next year. Because I went to Mexico and DROVE THROUGH an area where malaria can happen. OK. I drove through the rural area to get to Rincon de Guayabitos. Besides that, I saw very few if any bugs out there. It wasn't hot enough. I didn't even see a mosquito. I wasn't bitten by one. I mean come on. A WHOLE YEAR? This really sucks. I mean, 3 months I can handle, maybe even six months. But I can't give blood until 2003. This really sucks. I am upset.
My legs hurt and I am going to sleep good night.

I want to watch Misery, The Wizard, Perfect Harmony, Rush Hour, Houseguest, The Neverending Story, Misery, Silence of the Lambs, Shawshank Redemption, The Matrix, Misery, Lord of the Rings, The Wizard, X-Men, Daylight, Amadeus, Shine, The Red Violin, and Misery.

All while eating homemade popcorn with TONS of butter and Fanta!

Lee just IMed me for the first time in months and asked if I wanted some choir pics, so I said yes, and I sent him a couple of mine. He sent me one and then wouldn't answer me for some reason. I don't know maybe his computer went berserk but I don't know. Iwas like "Lee, are you there?" and he wouldn't answer. Intillesting.

God, I am SO bored right now I don't know what to do! This is like one of the first times this has happened in a LONG time! I guess that really means my Freshman year at Millikin is almost over...
Wow. My busy day is OVER!!!!!! YEAH!!! Freshman Focus went great, MVOP concert was long but still went really well. And my family came!!! That was so cool. We went to Steak and Shake (yum!) because Bobby so kindly volunteered to take my moderating spot. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to spend a lot of time with my family. Freshman Focus went well, Jake said I didn't look at the ceiling much I know that is my tendency. And then we went to the bookstore and Aria got a yellow Millikin shirt and I got some stationary and dad got a sleeveless shirt (not a tanktop, but more of a muscle shirt.) Oh yeah I got a 3 dollar umbrella from WalMart and it is already a little broken. No wonder it is their best selling umbrella, people keep buying them because they don't want to risk having a more expensive umbrella being broken. Bobby's old umbrella was a $3 one and it got so messed up he threw it away.

not much else happening... I might talk about something later but I'm jsut wondering if this is the start of a one-post-a-day thing because judging from past days I never do that. It's kind of weird.

Geez, why do people always play the same stupid song OVER and OVER and OVER? I HATE, no I take that back, I LOATHE that stupid song by Outkast. You know, "And the whole world, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. Wa wa, wa wa wa wa." I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT!!! This is why I hate it:

1. It's way overplayed.
2. The rap is stupid because they talk about stupid stuff.
3. They can't sing worth crap; they are SO out of tune.
4. Oh, yeah, they can't blend either.
5. The song is really annoying.
6. And it is WAY overplayed.

Why do people like the song so much? It is annoying as hell! I hate it! My brain is tainted for the rest of my life because I have heard the song and will never forget it. Stupid.

Tonight is MVOP's last rehersal before Gospel Fest tommorrow. I will be so busy! My family is coming. I have to moderate a room for Freshman Focus from 12:30-1:45, then I have presentations from 2:00-3:15 (hopefully it won't be so long). Then at 4 I have to be at Westminster for warm up and stuff. Then at 5 is the concert. I am hoping that after the concert I will have some quality time to spend with my family. I want to go to Steak n Shake. Yummm..

I had an hour long lesson today and it was so effective! Good lessons. I love those things! Worked on support and stuff. Turns out that a lot of the time I oversupport and push too much. This lesson helped me so much!

Oh yeah! I found out last night that Garrett talked to Annette (I hope she is employee of the year she SO deserves it!) and we are for sure going to be roommates next year! I'm so glad. Oakland here we come!
Wow. 12 hours since the last post. I think that is a record for longes time between posts. Anyway, OK morning. When I woke up I was so tired. I slept like a log last night so I don't know why I was so tired when I woke up. I'm better now. I'm getting all my winter clothes together so my parents can take them home when they come tommorrow. I'm starting to feel good about my project. I'm going to finish it tonight. Tomorrow is going to be so busy I wonder if I will spend much time at all with my family. I hope we will go out to steak and shake. Awesome restruaunt not in Green Bay, barely in Wisconsin. But I am almost positive that if we did get one in Green Bay it will be by Bay Park Square since everything is going by Bay Park Square. The east side of town is getting shafted. How is it supposed to get better if nothing happens? I remember when Bay Park Square was really ghetto and it was pretty bad. Now that it is fixed up and is just about as big as Fox River Mall and Krispy Kreme is going there next year everything is being built by there. Barnes and Noble for example. Now I think the east side where it was popular 10 years ago is going to start looking ghetto although they are fixing up what used to be Port Plaza a little. I think we should fix up East Town Mall a little more and put a Borders and a big clothing chain there. If we put something big like that there it will attract more people and more clients and East Town will get bigger and not seem so ghost mallish. True it's not as bad as it was 5 years ago, it's a lot better. But I think we need to build some more cool stuff over by East Town because all the coolest stuff is way over on the west side and with gas how high it is we shouldn't have to make a huge trip to do that. Also I think Jillian's should reopen because I still ahve like 50 tokens from there. They closed because it was too big. That was dumb. Oh well. Hopefully soon it will reopen because I liked that place.

Wow I just talked about nothing of relevance. Cool.
I'm in Mueller lab right now working on this stupid freshman focus thing. It is coming up so fast I am pretty scared. Man, am I cold! The air conditioner in here is just pouring out cold air. Why? And that word procedes many a question:
-Why is the air conditioning blowing?
-Why must we freshman honors scholars do this stupid presentation in addition to a long research paper?
-Why is it colder than it was last week by about 30 degrees?
-Why is my stomach empty AGAIN?
-Why is why such a popular word?
-Why am I procrastinating?

Hey if you guys REALLY want to talk or leave a message about something I typed (I know I'm not the only one who looks at this because a couple other people looked at it I looked at the stats on the counter) leave a message in my guestbook on the other site. Thanks.
Bobby spilled pop all over his keyboard. It's not working at all. It's not his fault, stupid Quizno's didn't give him a lid. Bobby should sue them for a new keyboard. It really sucks because how is he going to use the computer?

No one can leave comments until May 1st. The site reloaded and I'm like, "It only says 'comments' now, not saying how many there are." Then I see that it says that posting is temporarily disabled. Then I go to the site and it has this big reboot thing that is happening on May 1st. Hopefully, judging by the complexity of the Flash thing, it will make it a lot better.

OK now for my interesting story. I tried out for choirs for next year today. I feel really bad for Lindsey because I asked her to accompany me in Mandoline, because Garrett said that they liked legato songs with long notes. Well Mandoline fit that perfectly. The accomp isn't the easiest to play, and come to think of it, all the songs I'm doing for juries have tough accompaniment. But anyway, I walk in and sing that. I didn't do the best job because stupid me forgot to warm up. But I got through it and Holmes says "good job." Then he sits at the piano. He tells Forbes and Hesse that I have perfect pitch. So Holmes says "Sing an F." So I did. Then he says "Sing a Db." So I did. Then he asked me to sing My Country Tis of Thee. So I sang that. That was ok but on the higher notes it was right on the border of my break and it was hard to sing in middle voice but I was trying not to flip into falsetto. I was trying so hard to do things that Cynthia taught me. But I did pretty well, I guess. Then Holmes says, "OK, sing the second half of that, starting on 'Land where my fathers died' in the key of C." So I did that but it was really high so I sang most of it in falsetto but I was surprised how nice it sounded because my falsetto isn't the best. Then that was it. I was surprised because I thought there would be more to it, like at the beginning of the year when I tried out for Chamber Chorale. But it was really short. I think I find out this summer what choir I am actually in. I hope I make UChoir. Chamber Chorale wouldn't be too bad either. No offense to Hesse but I don't want to be in Concert Choir because that choir is too big.

OK That's about it for right now I have to go work on my freshman focus powerpoint in a little bit. So ok bye.
OK I have an interesting story to tell, but first I want to see if the journal will load because Bobby is having problems loading it and so am i.
Why is it that anytime I go to the caf to eat they are serving nothing I like? And then when I go there sometimes for dinner I look at the lunch menu and find out they did serve something I like? I HATE that when that happens!!!! Grrr.
Wow. What a bizzare morning. Ok. My alarm goes off at 7:45 because I have an 8:30 class. Well, it went off this morning. When I went to hit it, it fell down, and brought my glasses and my wallet with it, because they wereon the edge of my desk next to my bed. it fell on the floor. Both me and Bobby woke up at this for like 2 seconds, then I went back to sleep thinking I might hear my alarm on the floor, or at least I'd hear Bobby's alarm since I always do in the morning. Well, I woke up a little later and wanted to look at the time but my clock was on the floor. So I grabbed my glasses, and one of the lenses had popped out (I REALLY need to get these tightened and stuff; I'll do that when I go home). So I just look through the lens that is in the glasses, and discover it is 8:32. I'm like woah! So I look at Bobby's bed, and he has some clothes on his bed but I thought they were his pj's and I saw his sneakers but I didn't see his sandals so I assumed he was in the bathroom. I proceded getting dressed, when I see Bobby's head in the corner of the bed. By now it is 8:37, so I am like "Bobby, It's 8:37." So he wakes up and I feel horrible because I didn't wake him up right away. So we both slept thru both our alarms and were late to our respective classes. First time this has happened in a long time, if ever.

Now today is my last day before my busy friday and saturday, so I have to try and make this day busy in preparation. I'm going to try and interview Bobby and Mom (although I probably will never get around to it, but I will sincerely try this afternoon or something.) I have to finish my powerpoint. I have to read some stuff. I have to pack all the things I want mom and dad to take home for me so we have less stuff to take home on the 15th. Let's see what else? Oh, yes, today I audition for choir next year, and that is at the same time I have to learn the moderation process for freshman focus. Maybe I can leave for 5 minutes to go audition. I hope I can do that. i think that is about it; today is semi-busy. I can't wait until Sunday when I can just be like "Ah...." That will be so nice because I need every day to be like that. That would be awesome. Every day was like that when you were a kid, with no cares in the world. Sometimes I wish I were a kid again because isn't it weird how when we are kids we dream of growing up and when you are there you want to be a kid again because it is almost too complicated and complex?
This is interesting. It seems as if I am one of the few people in the world who is ACTUALLY USING a template by blogger. I can't compete (yet) with people who have the immaculate personal journals yet. And I don't want to (yet). I'm fine right now. The only thing that bugs me alot is that I am too impatient to wait and see if anyone has come here or anything. I hope someone leaves a message or SOMETHING in order to show that people actually care about my life. I know a lot of people who go to my other website so maybe they will go to this one and leave messages and fun stuff like that! Maybe within the next week I will have a faithful follower.
Ahhh. A new day. My journal is almost 23 hours old. Isn't that sweet? I can't believe how much crap I wrote in the first day. Most of it was just about nothing. I'm sure I'll write fewer entries for this day, and maybe soon it will be down to only a couple of long ones each day. But with such a new venture, who knows? I'm just happy I have this journal so I won't be the only one to experience the happiness, sadness, frustration, stresses, joys, laughs, cries, etc. of my life.

Bobby is doing ear training, as soon as he is done we are going to listen to my thunder waves. Right now, John just signed on AOLIM at the same time as someone on Bobby's computer but we thought it must be someone we both have on our buddy list. But we were wrong. My thunderstorm saga is about a half hour long, so it is possible we won't listen to them all tonight. However, Bobby was laughing at some of the ones I listened to already so who knows.

Oh, man. I have to do these love interviews. I think I'm going to call mom tomorrow and interview her, and possibly interview Bobby tomorrow as well. I have to finish my Freshman Focus powerpoint as well. I guess I am lucky for getting about half of it done on Monday night but I may be wrong by saying half because I don't know exactly how long the presentation will be. But the presentation will be at the most 15 minutes long so it won't be too bad. Unfortuneately I am in the last group and then I want to go out to eat with mom and dad but I have to be back on campus at 4 for the concert. Saturday is going to be so busy I will barely have time to spend with my parents. Friday is going to be bad too. Nonstop class from 9-12, then 1-3 (incluing the hour long make up voice lesson which will be AWESOME because I need help on some stuff), then I turn in my tux at 4, then MVOP rehersal at 7. I'm going to miss IV unfortuneatly but it will be ok. For those of you who are not familiar with these acronyms, IV is InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and MVOP is Muticultrual Voices of Praise gospel choir.

Tomorrow I try out for UChoir. I hope I make it. Maybe we will sing some more Mussorsky like we did in the opera thing. Mussorsky is awesome! One of my favorite composers. Bobby is listening to him right now. Mussorsky has such a familiar style, it almost seems like you hear the same song when you listen to a few different songs but they are different enough and it is so beautiful. Awesome Russian composer. I like him better than Tchaychosky (OK I know that is not how you spell it but Russian last names are so hard to spell!)

I think I am done now....

YYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYA!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I DID IT!! I"M ON THE PAGE!!! PLEASE SOMEONE COME TO MY SITE!
One more shot.
I give up. This is a waste of time.
Blog*Spot is currently down for a hardward upgrade. You can post to your Blog*Spot blog, but viewing and publishing will be spotty at best for an hour or so.

That's just some info so if by chance you are reading this then ok. Although maybe that is what happened when I was having trouble viewing the site as well. i don't konw.
Grr. I didn't make it again. Why did I not make it? Maybe you need to be at the end of the minute. Or something.
OK I'll wait and see if I make it for the 'recently updates" at 10:53. They are always a minute late.
againl
Here I go again.
I'm 9 seconds too late. Here I go again. I have to make it like on the minute.
I'm going to try it again because if you get on the list, you are on the list for a whole minute! Who knows how many people visit Blogger.com in that amount of time? Maybe someone will click it! That would be sweet! And then they'll leave a message! The only message I have is the test one I ddi.d
Once again I am too late to be on the update page. Maybe this time.
I want to see my page on the "recently updated" list on blogger.com because maybe by some absolute weird chance someone will see it and come to it and tell their friends how weird it is, who in turn will tell their friends, etc. and make my site semi-popular. I mean, I'd like to add some more friends to my links because very few of my friends have websites, let alone journals. And I didn't add the comment thing for nothing.

I hope.
I'm bored. I don't know why. I should really be doing something productive. But whenever in the back of my mind I know I have to do something productive and important I always procrastinate even more. Probably because I don't want to do whatever it is I have to do. I don't think I am the only one with this problem in the world.

When is someone going to be on this site? I'd like people to start coming! True it's only been one day but still I really want someone to come. People never sign guestbooks or leave messages so how can I have proof people have read this and I am not doing this for naught? If I was doing this for myself the page would not be here, it would not be public.
You know I guess I am already starting to type less. I think I have about 25 entries just for one day, today, but for this post I had a lot of trouble deciding what to write. And it is not much because I have MVOP rehersal like now. Oh BTW for those few people from Millikin who actually look at my site and may look at this, come to the MVOP concert @ Westminster on Saturday @ 5:00. Good times. It's all good. You know that. Well CUL8R.

Oh one more thing my new Guinness book I ordered on Ebay came today and to my surprise it is the British version! So I am happy. Ok bye.
A big thunderstorm just got over with and being me, I ran through the heaviest rain and got soaked so I am in different clothes now. It was POURING outside. Fun stuff. Lake Mills formed as did BWA river. Oakland St. was flooded. As I ran to the coffee shop (mostly just to get soaked but I got some chips so I didn't run over there for that reason and so peole wouldn't look at me weird) someone said "All you need is the soap." hahaha. Although I felt like I took a shower with my clothes on.

I recorded about a half hours worth (not in an exact row) of me rambling, and the thunderstorm. Takes up 40 megs of memory on my computer so I have to convert them down, but It was really sweet. The first one I'm like "We are going to be getting some storms later" and have a thunder on it. Saying it's raining a little bit. By the middle Lake Mills was forming. I felt like I was on the Weather Channel radio. It was sweet. Fun stuff. My wet shirt is hanging up now dripping onto a towel. I really should put it in the dryer, and I might do that in a little bit. This storm reminded me of September when I tried out for Chamber Chorale and when it was over it was pouring outside and I had to run through the rain.

I was surprised we weren't under any warnings or anything, but it was cool.
Voice lesson, and it looks like a storm is a brewin! Hopefully I'll be back before the storm because I for some reason love running in pouring rain and I also like watching storms from the window, or at least during the daytime. At night I get paranoid. Ok that's it. CUL8R.
YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!! It works!!!! IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!
GRRR!! It still doesn't work! I have class. Bye. You better be working by the time I get back or at least by tonight or I will seriously be upset.
I am mad that this won't work.
Jeez I'm trying to update this thing a little by adding some stuff to the side but it's not letting me. It won't ever let me reload and the stupid cannot find server keeps coming up. Why?
Ok it works now. Joy. It just takes forever and a day to load for some reason. Don't know why. But when I clicked the page it was blank again, and now it is showing. I guess it just takes awhile to load everything. Maybe I shouldn't type so many entries. I'll calm down soon. I doubt ANYONE has looked at this yet. The counter that was there before is gone so I don't know what happened.
Ok. NOW it's showing the page but it is completely blank. What gives? This sucks!
My computer is being stupid this morning. I can't see my journal. I get the stupid dns error thingy. What is with that? It was working fine earlier! I bet I can only see it from this page and if I can't then something is wrong with Blogger's server. Why am I obsessing with this so much? Maybe it's because it's new, or maybe it's because I have wanted a web journal for a long time and now that I finally have one I have to catch up for all the time I have wanted one.
Just one note I will edit those friends links AGAIN later. Ok bye.
Hey I just woke up after about 5 1/2 hours of sleep. Blah. But it's supposed to be 73 today, says the radio station, but it's supposed to get down to 34 degrees tonight! I ask God to please make up His mind because it is spring and we don't need another blast of winter like Green Bay got. They got 6 inches of snow over the weekend! Woah. Well I better get dressed and get headed to that wonderful thing that they call class...
Finally put the counter in to where it fits without totally screwing up the format of the template.
OK all better now just re-entered the template. :)
Damn it. I screwed something up. I have to fix it before I go to bed. It's all the counter's fault. I wanted to put one in but I put it in the wrong spot and now the site is screwed up.
Why do so many people's journal's look so much cooler than mine? Well it will look cool, just you wait! I only got this an hour ago. I know one thing I think I have written more entries in an hour than the average person.
Bobby's fooling around with Norton Rescue. I thought his computer was sick but it isn't he's just having fun taking a break from his ear training quiz and stuff.
OK everything's pretty cool now. Need some sleep, so I can at least function tomorrow. I hate Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays because they are always so busy. Tomorrow I have Theory, Critter, Communications, break (which some of the time will be spent getting all dressed up for the mock wedding in my next class:), Love Seminar, Voice Lesson, break, (during this time usually Millikin Men but I dont' have it tomorrow), then MVOP. Then home.

My parents are coming this Saturday and I want them to take some of my junk home so we don't have to bring everything home in a VW Passat when I leave to go home for the summer. And my room is pretty messy, however it is squeaky clean compared to some of the other rooms I have seen, especially in Mills which is all guys and I am sure the few who do read this will relate an all guys dorm to being smelly and kind of messy which is what Mills is and which is why a. I don't like it and b. I like it. The atmosphere is awesome, especially my floor which is the best. Mills 1. Mills 2 I heard was scary; they have tuna fights or something. Mills 3 I don't know but for a while they were always in trouble. Next year I'm living in Oakland which is newer and cleaner and coed. They have a kitchen on every floor so I dont' have to have a freaking 19 meals to use in a week. This meal plan is so stupid and I could rant about it all day but I'm not going to right now.

I seriously want to just sit down and watch a movie for the first time in WEEKS! I miss my room and my bed and my TV and my house and my dog and my family and Green Bay (which is weird I'd never think there was a place with less to do than Green Bay and there is and coincidentally my college is located in that town, and I now realize how much we teens in Green Bay take for granted!). Oh and I miss Jake's pizza and cheese curds too, from the Dykesville Bowl.

You know I'm just going to keep on writing until like 5 in the morning if I keep this up so I am going to bed.

OK for some reason anytime I press enter in the middle of a post to enter a new paragraph and leave a space the font of the next paragraph is bigger. So I am going to try a different template to see, even though I like this template.
Nope something's weird.
OK since the entry had a bigger font for some reason than the rest of the page I'm thinking maybe if I add another entry it will go back to normal size.
Well, this is for ranting and raving right? Well, here I go.

My God. I am so freaking worried about Duncanson's test which is in about 9 hours. Hopefully, since we had a scavenger hunt (winner got pizza with him and a chance to argue what's on the final with him) and JUST got the review sheet on Monday, it will be a piece of cake becaue I didn't do ANY of the readings. Also, I'm worried about stupid Freshman Focus presentations coming up this Saturday. And, I am worried about this love interview paper that is due in a couple of weeks since I didn't do any interviews yet and Bobby is going to be one of my interviewees but I haven't had time and ditto with my mom who is going to be another one. I can't wait until school is let out. Only a few more days.

I was reading someone elses journal about "The Wizard". Awesome movie, maybe you remember it. With Fred Savage, and they went to California and played Super Mario 3 for the first time. Remember that? I have the urge to see that and "The Neverending Story" since I downloaded the song and found out how much I liked it. I almost wish I was living in the 80s only we had the technology of today in the 80s except in videogames because they were better in the 80s.

Speaking of 80's movies I was thinking the other day about "Back to the Future II" when they go to the future year 2015. I realized that since 1985 when the original movie was set we are over half way to 2015. I was thinking about some of the stuff that Steven Spielburg envisioned to be in 2015 and if any of it has been invented yet. I don't think we are going to be wearing those clothes. But it is 13 years from now and I will be 32 and everything will be great and people will make fun of that movie at how they portrayed the future just like they do today with sci-fi movies from the 1950's.

OK that's about it for right now for a writing raving session. This was the first and probably won't be the last. Catch you when it is daylight outside.
Bobby laughed at my mistake about "Oh it's up now my bad." He likes how I used the apostrophe in "it's", though.
I'm showing my roommate how this works.
Oh it's up now my bad.
OK What gives? I look at the page and it is blank. No posts at all. What is this?
Hey here it is! A journal! Yep, I've decided to start one of these up. And the cool thing is I can enter this thing anytime and it will show the time and date and stuff! Yeah!
