LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. isn't it!
I love this website. postsecret How beautiful. So not much has been going on, tomorrow is a Monday. Oy Monday. Thursday we played softball and lost, but it was fun. We had tequila night and I think tequila should be illegal. The rest of the weekend was pretty much recovering from that. Saw Bewitched. It was OK.
Haven't posted in a long time. Right now I feel pretty overstimulated. I am currently working my 2nd to last shift at the bookstore, my friend just got a lung transplant (thank God), my roommate just got a $750 puppy in our complex which doesn't allow dogs, same roommate just told us she is probably moving out; she already signed a lease with us for all of next year though. My parents were here for Fri-Sat. It was nice to see them! Tomorrow I work at my internship but I just want a day to sleep in and do nothing at all. I keep having crazy dreams as well, which leaves me tired when I wake up, like I've been busy all night. I am gonna try to post more regularly... but then again I don't think anyone actually reads this, I don't think anyone knows it exists. Maybe I will get a live journal. Wait, no. This week should be pretty usual. Thursday I am playing in the softball rec league! Ah! And, that night is supposedly going to be Tequila night with Don, Pat, Julie, Sha'Erica, and Jelissa; and whoever else likes a little lime in their coconut.
I tried to go running. As if! Lol. I got like ten paces down the street, my batteries died in my Mp3 player and I was already sick and tired of the creepy perverted people driving and honking down 23rd. I came back here and now I feel strenuous because I am wearing exercise clothes. I really like the band Death Cab for Cutie now. I think my parents got Don and me tickets to Cirque du Soleil for my birthday! Yaay! It is something I've always wanted to go see since I first saw it on Bravo. My room is a mess again. How does it turn into a mess so quickly; I clean it daily it seems! I work tomorrow. I don't really want to work tomorrow be I'm a slave for the moo-lah. I am craving rice of some kind. Last night Don and I went to see The Interpreter with Nicole Kidman. I like Nicole Kidman, she's such a prolific actor. We also finished watching I <3 Huckabees on DVD. It was good. I also decided to henceforth spell God like so: Godde. This is why.
I finished writing one of the essays I will have to remember and spit out on my Political Ideologies final exam. The last paragraph of it is: I have come to believe we are a global family, and that our borders are a figment of our own imagination. If I had been born 200 miles south I’d be living under Castro and suffering from the American embargo. These lines are transcended by environmental pollution. These lines cause bloodshed. These lines are an immature and unenlightened system that will kill us all. They are a representation of our false consciousness that we can be independent. My contempt for them is one of the many reasons that I am now a flaming-liberal; a position I believe consistently and coherently incorporates feminism, environmentalism, religiosity, and racial equality.
I said I was bad at updating.
It is raining fat droplets. I got the first year florida peer leader position I applied for. Woohoo. Happy St. Patrick's Day! If you're lucky enough to be Irish, you're lucky enough! Slainte.
Like some fairy song,
And your eyes twinkle bright as can be;
You should laugh all the while
And all other times smile,
And now, smile a smile for me.
When Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away.
Check this out...you are filthy rich!
"I am also very proud to be a liberal. Why is that so terrible these days? The liberals were liberators—they fought slavery, fought for women to have the right to vote, fought against Hitler, Stalin, fought to end segregation, fought to end apartheid. Liberals put an end to child labor and they gave us the five day work week! What's to be ashamed of?" —Barbra Streisand
Last night my friend and I had an anti-Rush Limbaugh rant and I loved it. "The feminist movement was created to allow ugly women access to the mainstream of society."--Rush. He never fails to amaze me with his ignorance. How about "let stupid and unskilled mexicans do that work." wow he's a nut! And this one's for O'Reilly :)
I am in Marston Library breaking all the rules. My cell phone is on vibrate--not silent! I just ate a soggy tuna sandwich and peanuts while I stared at the No Food or Drink sign!! I am a rebel! I may even break out my raisins. Ok, anyway...I just got my POT3503 exam back and I got an A! Yay! Whoa these peanuts are salty. I am thirsty. Aside from food-speak...I am so happy on several levels and so sad on others and I feel like I am being drawn and quartered!
I am back! What a week! I got home Friday night but have been putting off writing this entry for a while because I know it is going to be a long one. So. The first night of the cruise was fun. We didnˇ¦t disembark until 8ish pm, and there was a sail away barbecue featuring meat..meat.. and more meat, so I had a piece of bread! (I ate better stuff later). Sarah and I waited for them to deliver our luggage to the room, and only mine arrived she got a nice little letter that said her luggage had been confiscated because during security check something suspicious liquor turned up on the x-ray scan. Her luggage was in a holding room waiting for her to come claim it and hand over the liquor. So, she, Alison, and I went to the holding room and while Alison and I distracted the guards, she sneaked out with her luggage. Haha, way to start out the cruise! The first few days rained like nobody's business, and the last few were beautiful. Grand Caymans at Georgetown is somewhere I would never recommend going unless you are a gazillionaire and want to buy duty free diamonds and Rolexes. Sarah and I took a taxi to the beach there and walked around the shoppes I took us 4 hours of waiting in line and getting stuck on a tender boat to get back onto the ship. I bought Don a 1.75L bottle of Bombay Sapphire for several reasons. 1. because it was being sold at a place called Big Black Dickˇ¦s and I wanted to tell him I got you a present from Big Black Dick's. 2. because it was cheaper than in the US 3.because I legally could buy it there 4. because he is a grandma and he likes gin. I also ate lunch there at Hard Rock Grand Caymans and it cost me like 40 dollars for 1 pasta dish, and a strawberry daiquiri literally, it was mind boggling! The next day we went to Roatan, and island of Honduras, and it was the most beautiful place I have ever been in my whole entire life. I can't even begin to describe it and pictures can't even attempt to do it justice. It was gorgeous. I haggled at little artisan shoppes and bought some souvenirs, and spent most of the day snorkeling and sunning at a gorgeous beach party. By the way, I did not get tan the entire trip, instead I got a freakish sunburn because I poorly applied my sunblock. I only got sea sick mildly once or twice, but because I was wearing Transderm Scop, the seasick patch, my pupils were huge. (A common side effect) So I felt what it was like for people who can't see up close because I could hardly read anything. There was sooo much free good food, and they waited on you hand and foot. I won lots of money at the Maharajah casino on the slot machines and gambled it all away. I saw a magician, a comedian, and Ship n' Males, the boats version of Chip n' Dales--besically, some members of the crew stripped haha. I saw live music, and rocked out to the eighties at eighties night. I saw lame broadway-wannabe poor singing cruise productions. In the end it was really fun. Hundreds of UF kids were there. The trip back was pretty quick. And school resumes tomorrow. I loved it but I missed Don horribly, and that was sad, but yesterday we went on a picnic. He is amazing. Hope everyone else had a great and safe break!
Goodbye for a week!! This is where I am :)!

So Don and I are celebrating spring break by going to Wal*Mart.
We just ate a whole pizza and pokey sticks. I feel like I am gonna spew. 
More on that later.
No, the Dakota
The San Remo is up a few blocks
Have you been inside the Museum?
We should go
Meet the dinosaurs
Will you share your life with me
For the next ten minutes?
For the next ten minutes
We can handle that
We could watch the waves
We could watch the sky
Or just sit and wait
As the time ticks by
And if we make it till then
Can I ask you again
For another ten?
And if you in turn agree
To the next ten minutes
And the next ten minutes
Till the morning comes
Then just holding you
Might compel me to
Ask you for more
There are so many lives I want to share with you
I will never be complete until I do
I'm not always on time
Please don't expect that from me
I will be late
But if you can just wait
I will make it eventually
Not like it's in my control
Not like I'm proud of the fact
But anything other than being exactly on time
I can do
I don't know why people run
I don't know why things fall through
I don't know how anybody survives in this life
Without someone like you
I could protect and preserve
I could say no and goodbye
But why...
For a million summers
Till the world explodes
Till there's no one left
Who has ever known us apart
There are so many dreams
I need to see with you...
There are so many years
I need to be with you...
I will never be complete
I will never be alive
I will never change the world
Until I do
"The Next Ten Minutes"--The Last Five Years
Friday, February 25, 2005
Sigh. I feel so chill right now. I just got back from a luxurious pedicure. My feet are soft and my nails are a firey shiny red. I am padding around carefully fearing messing up the paint which is something I usually manage to do. The lady did a really good job, but I was in one of those massage chairs and it was on way too high of a level and my whole body was shaking and the chair kept poking these roller things so deep into my back that I was gonna die... but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to be offensive haha. And it felt -kinda- good. Anyway...they also upsold me and I got my eyebrows waxed, which I guess is something I was going to do today anyway. So now the skin surrounding my eyebrows is about the color of my toenails. Ouch. I gotta continue packing. First day of spring break and it rains all day!

Thursday, February 24, 2005:
This is my new website. None of the codes I was scripting for pictures were working so the theme is simplicity...for now. On a don't-get-your-hopes-up-note, I am making the disclaimer that I have made countless attempts at maintaining either a webpage or a journal to no avail. Let's see how long this one lasts. I refuse to get an LJ because they are the downfall of countless innocents who's lives have been ruined by the bewitching siren that is live journal. That said, on to the juice. Today begins spring break for me. I really think it couldn't have come soon enough and if I didn't get a change of pace or a break soon I would have melted. I got out of my last lecture and breathed deep the fresh air like a newly-freed prisoner. Then I proceeded to get a headache because somewhere the suffering-accountant had to balance out my joy. My last lecture was about conservatism, which left me feeling frankly disgusted and bewildered as I made my way off campus. Learning about the "logic" of a pessimistic ideology is the best way to depress yourself. I feel burdened by their mumbo-jumbo and am therefore going to delve into a (possibly lengthly) rant about it all. I simply cannot understand who in their right mind would label themselves "conservative." NB: I am not speaking in Democrat/Republican terms! I mean the true ideology of conservatism. I don't see how anyone could adopt such hogwash. It seems that countless people revel in their self-proclaimed conservatism, and they have no idea what the ideology truly means! Basic tenets of conservatism: [note also that this list is not a criticism, it is what any idealogue true conservative should adhere to and believe] 1. Mankind is evil, man fell from grace in the garden of Eden and is forever imperfectable. 2. Mindset should be of pessimism and distrust of man. Focus should be on power. Change should be as incremental as possible, government should be as small as feasible.
Excuse me if I would rather think man is inherently good [made in God's image], and that we are forgiven. Forgive me if I do not look at every issue pessimisticly and without trust in mankind. Why would anyone want to give up hope and settle on the dismal thought body that is conservatism. I just finished reading Statecraft as Soulcraft by leading conservative writer George F. Will. Basically it explains how the job of the government is to craft the souls of all citizens and direct them to salvation and morality. What happened to separation of church and state? I am all for church, and all for state, but hello... it's in the constitution that the two shall not mix. I can't even articulate in here the endless inconsistencies. Sigh. I am so sad that people who identify as conservative often don't know what their claiming to be!
On a lighter note, my cruise departs Sunday. Saturday I am getting a spray tan because I am 25% German, 25% English, and 50% Irish... basically my people don't even have melanin except for freckles, so I need to spray on fake stuff. Cursed be my pale pale genes! Well, I am off to watch a movie maybe... and if watching a movie means falling asleep then I am sure I will follow through with that plan. I will post more later, and it won't all be frustrated exasperation about conservatism. Smile! People are good! Optimism is worth the risk :)
