so yes. i decided that i need somewhere to write stuff down. anything. jokes. thoughts. and damn the world like everywhere wants money from you. so i thought hey. i know how to do html. so i decided to make a webpage. but not really a webpage. just me writing about stuff. but i guess you all deserve to know a bit about me first. go ahead. ok now that thats out of the way. im not sure how im planning on setting this all up, since i know that i hate clicking on all these links to get to the real shiznit. so i guess i'll just put it all right here. peace.

current music: manu chao. current date: 5.9.03 current time: 1208pm. today was swell. went to class. it was alright. went out to coffee with my astronomy teacher. he is a funny funny guy and showed us all this cool stuff in his office. after that....oh right. i went to go see my advisor to get the stupid hold taken off of my registration. so i got all my papers prepared and went over there to talk to her and she was like are you here for drop in advising and i was like yeah. and she was like do you have any questions? and i was like no. and she was like ok, thats it. and that was it. it wasnt even advising. im not complaining, i didnt need to be advised, but it was pointless. they should never have put a hold on all of our registrations if thats all theyre going to do. anyways, then i went over to the music department and was like hey, i want to be a music minor. and they were like alright! so that was fun! what ah....current time is now 1242.....just had a discussion about technology and how its impacted our lives (cell phones, more specifically) *brees making her web page about that*, and derivated some inverse trig functions. but im back, but not back on track. music has changed. now its a moon records (best ska label) compilation, and its really good! moving on....i dont know what else i did today during the day. this eve i went to borders and got 3 new cds for only 30 dollars! and i used a gift card, so it was even better! then went to starbucks ( i know i know, please dont give me shit. gift cards...) and ordered a chai. i found out they put water in their hot chais normally. how cheap is that. so i ordered a no water grande chai. haha now i know the secret of why chais are never strong at starbucks. then i came back to school, watched er......oh man how fuggin good was it this eve? and next week, season finale, is going to be even better! then we uh..moved my car. i took a shower. and now here i am. ok im tired. one more story for the road. yesterday i got all ready for music class and walked, maybe 6/7 of the way there, and for some reason looked down at my shoes. and i was like shit. im wearing 2 different shoes. and i wasnt going to walk back to my room, lest i miss some casino rueda. so this is my problem. 5 pairs of reefs+no lights in my closet=me wearing 2 different shoes. too many pairs of reefs has never ever EVER been a bad thing until yesterday. and they arent even the same color, and one was waaaaay more worn than the other. it was almost uncomfortable. and i was wearing a skirt that is on the shorter side so it wasnt like i could hide my shoes. and we were dancing, so people are looking at your feet. boys were laughing. story of my life. ok. oh! and today i fell down some stairs in my astronomy class. oh man it was sooooo freakin funny. and dr bill was all maybe you should wear different shoes. and i was like look whos talking. he wears birks every day, i wear reefs every day. fair enough. im just a real big fan of the flip flops. maybe ill wear my birks on tuesday to spite him. hahaha. ok seriously. im gonna go read for a bit, until my hair dries......oh man its gonna be a long noight......then sleepy time. score!
current music: romy dee. current date: 5.6.03 current time: 548pm i have nothing to do tonight. no homework, nothing. ive already slept for 4 hours. so i was like hey, i might as well do my page. there is nothing good for dinner in benson tonight, nothing. i had a sourdough roll with a piece of cheese on it and a cherry coke. im no big fan of dinner on tuesday. they really should do something about it. ok well i have some stuff to talk about. im music class we are learning how to salsa, casino rueda style, to be exact. and it is so so so fun. im sad, tomorrow is our last day of dancing then we go back to learning about music. but hey, it was fun while it lasted. um...kaylan and i saw pepper and ss last thursday. the show lasted for like 4 hours. it was a great time. pepper even played tongues, one of their greatest songs. and ss played lots of stuff from their new album, including mr. officer. also, they played down to tha last roach by easy e, a staple of any show that they play, and it makes me very very happy when they do. however, no one else really knew the words, and it takes crowd participation to make it work. we hung out with the pepper boys for a bit, which is always a fun experience. warped tour sf, july 12. pepper. the line. a match made in heaven. what else....oh right. so stoopid (my hermit crab, thanks melissa!) got stepped on. by a boy. i was in my room getting nail polish and jayna and some other peeps were sitting in the hall with stoopid, supposed to be watching him. and a boy stepped on him and i heard a crack. it was scary. he had shell shock (haha) but he recovered fully. im not sure where the cracking came from, seeing as his shell isnt cracked. but hes doing well. well he was, until yesterday. yesterday he kinda got lost in my room. apparently, i took him out of his crabarium and put him in a bowl of water on the floor. and i was going to clean his home. i dont remember any of this, jayna had to tell me. so i guess i forgot i took him out, and he got loose and got lost in our room. so i was like ahhhhh where is stoopid? so then i cleaned out the room, and cleaned under my bed, a big feat. and i still couldnt find him. i was like noooooooooo! so i called jayna and told her i lost him. so she was with kaylan, and kaylan got really grossed out that he was lost in our room. but they came back and helped me look for him. and kaylan found him behind her bed under a shirt of hers. but she refused to pick him up. so jayna picked him up, but apparently there was a spider on him. and it was funny. so then we washed him and took him outside to dry. but, it was cold and he was a bit disheveled due to the days events. so we brought him back inside, and i put him in his home and he came out of his shell and everything is peachy. ive had trouble going to sleep lately. its really bad, i dont like it. thats why i took a nap today, i didnt get to bed until 4 sunday and like 3 last night. i dont like it at all. it is absolutely not fun at all. ok so i think thats all the good stuff for now.
