I think I am going to pull my first all-nighter in my college life tonight. My Critter class is at 10. It is 1:12. I have a 12-20 page draft of a research paper due then. I am about halfway done and I get stuck often. I am drinking a lot of black tea right now. When I do write or get an idea, it comes out in paragraphs so I think I'll be fine. I'll miss my theory class if I have to - hopefully we don't have a test.

I was so almost totally pissed off because I thought I had accidentally delete my "My Documents" folder on my computer. I downloaded (and uninstalled right away after the incident) a program I forgot what it was called but it was a file share program anyway I was adding a shared file folder because I thought I couldn't connect unless I had a shared folder (turns out I wasn't connected) but I only wanted my music not the entire my documents folder so I tried to delete it and it said "are you sure you want to delete my documents from your system?" so that freaked me out so I said no and tried to rename it. Then it disapeared. I tried opening my documents and it said it couldn't find it. I'm seriously like "Oh, my God. Oh, shit." in my mind and I don't swear at all for those who know me unless I am like in total awe (Sept. 11) or totally pissed. Then I found it was accidentally moved to a folder called incomplete for some reason so I was SO happy. OK that's it wish me luck if you read this before 10.

More quizzes!

PG-13

Now we're getting somewhere - your actions are
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.
Take the What Calvin are You? Quiz by contessina_2000@yahoo.com!



Who's Your 80s Movie Icon Alter-Ego? Find out @ She's Crafty


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.
