Welcome to my little spot on the web. Who am I? An 18 year old college student with too much time on her hands and not enough brain cells to turn off the computer. Here you can find the nitty gritty details of my life dotted with excessive and more then likely inflated sufferings ...

Saw Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring last night. That was quite an adventure, let me tell you. Jeff, Staci, myself, and Lor all went and tried to see the 4:45 showing, but the tickets were all sold out so we bought the tickets for the 8:30 showing. Then we went back to my place (it was the closest) and played video games and ate pasta until 7. We managed to run around Rid-Aide like idiots, and got to the movie theature in record time, only to find a line out the door already. We finally got into the "room" and all of us were clutching each other's hands as the movie started. Damn, for the little differences between the movie and the book, it was one HELL of a movie. I woke up this morning to Egghead and Roper, and was astonished when Roper (or however you spell it) announced that the movie was "thumbs down" because it was too long, and he couldn't get why all these people were even trying to find "a teeny tiny ring" in the first place. My hat goes out to Egbert (I can't remember how to spell his name, sorry : ) ) for defending LOTR, and I have since disregarded anything foul I ever said of him for the comment: I believe in the ring (or something like that). Anyway, my review of LOTR: as close to perfect as you can get : ) 8 fingers, 2 thumbs, and 10 toes WAY up : )

Went to the old high school today. Freaked me out, seeing all those kids. I swear... they're like tiny! I felt like a giant for once in my dimunitive life. After that we pretty much just "hung out". Who is involved with the "we"? Why, Jeffrey of course! *grins* I had fun, but now I'm just tired. I've been all Frodo'd out, even though I haven't seen the movie yet. Shame on Kol! *grins*
Other then that, I've been sitting here searching for Ginny and Draco fanfiction at, of course, fanfiction.net. I love that site.... *gets teary eyed* I've been listening to Bush's Inflatable, too. I love that song... it's such a great song. Can you tell I'm tired? I'm rambling... Well... I'll go see LOTR Saturday. Tomorrow I'm going to go try and catch the new Pretender Movie I missed while I was down at school, as well as the Matrix. Who knows, I might change the layout for the Matrix! *laughs* Now, its off to bed for me!

No new surveys to report. I did make it up to Oregon, thankfully without any real snow problems. Hit some pretty intense rain for a while, but once we hit snow country it strangely stopped. Went to Fred Meyer today and met up with a friend, and talked to a bunch of friends. It was in the high 30's and low 40's most of the day, so I'm still adapting to the cold. Its pretty fun up here though! Well, I'm heading off now. More tomorrow!

Well, I just got back from my "Leonard's night out". Let me tell you: fondue is more then likely the most worthless dinner imaginable. However, it did win me 50 bucks. Let me explain:
We were minding our own business, eating our chocolate fondue (dessert), when my aunt MK dares me to dip a pickle into the chocolate fondue and eat it for 50 bucks. Immediately, and without thought, I stick the heinous pickle (it was one of the small ones, but not a sweet pickle) in the chocolate fondue, and clamp it into my mouth. All around me the table grew into shock. Lor looked at me like I was crazy, and MK looked like she'd just swallowed a frog. I managed to swallow the thing down, and got a check for 50 bucks! *snickers* It got pretty crazy from then on in. Lisa was dared to eat one of those small onion balls dipped in the chocolate-- as well as a clove of garlic. She downed it down with the help of my milk, and got her 50 bucks. Then MK was dared to eat ALL the remaining veggies-- dipped in the chocolate of course, but we stopped her after five cloves of garlic and a whole mini potatoes. She looked very green, but she had made most of her money back! Lor chickened out, and just calmly dipped her bananas and strawberries into the chocolate fondue, but I think she didn't want to get any on her jacket. She loves that thing too much ^.^
As you can tell, I'm only half awake. The Leonard girls (and me) exchanged our gifts, and I made way with a nifty silver chain bracelet, a whole box of See's candies all to myself, and a HUGE bow. I think the bow was the best of the loot ^.^;; MK decided that the 50 would be half of my Christmas present, the rest a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble for $35, though, I don't know what to use it on. I still have the last one from my birthday... I should give them both to Lor so she can get some stuff...
Well, if you think that the "50" was a bit much, you have to realize that my aunts had drunk a great deal of wine during the evening ^.^ Plus, when you're having fondue, all brains go out the window.
So all in all, fondue is an alright dinner... just come prepared to shell out money!

Well, I finished with my horrid math exam. Actually, it wasn't that bad. I think the only problem I got wrong had to do with ANOVA. Lor and Kae weren't finished when I left, so I can't say if they did as well as I did, but I hope so. I have my lecture final coming up in like 26 minutes, but I just wanted to update everyone on my situation. I actually managed to fall asleep at 12:30 last night, so the hardly lit morning sky was especially lacking for me when I woke up at 6:45. Unfortinately, my alarm was supposed to ring at 6:20, so I was a tad bit late today, but managed to get to STAT on time.
I think its the first time Lor has ever gotten to STAT before me : )
Anyway... wish me luck in Lecture! I have to bow before the great professor and beseach her to let me turn in my paper late. Hopefully she had her coffee this morning : )

Evening
Well... today just was an odd day. I actually got on IM and talked to some people. I forgot to turn my paper into my teacher, though, and missed the deadline. What does this mean? I have a sinking feeling that it means I'm going to fail my class. I pray not... I want to succeed... but in the end, it really is my fault, I guess. Other then that, Sharie and I are going to rent Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, all for a certain scene in the middle... involving a rear shot : )
Finals week isn't all that bad I guess! Oh, and for a very limited time, I changed the blog's pic! Yay! It'll go back in a bit... I was just bored ^.^

My eye feels better... it's almost 3 AM and I have an appointment with the supreme one at noon. *yawns* I re-touched the layout of the blog and added some stuff... caught the eye of a certain guy at dinner, too. Not literally of course : ) Anyway, its off to bed for little Nikki! But before I go... I actually socialized at dinner! Amazing! Bow before the Queen of socialization *exits before everyone can become ill*

"Herd of speeding Heroes"
Today I almost was run over by a herd of San Jose City Fire Fighter trainees. I think there were 20 of them, lined up in two columns, future heroes with navy blue shirts. Watching their bare (and muscular) legs as they jogged by, I was struck with awe. These people were training to be heroes. I can hardly think of a more noble profession (My future occupation of Psychologist is hardly as noble), and my thanks goes to these men. Just seeing them training lightens my heart, for they are training to SAVE ME. It almost makes me want to cry... that and the fact I'm listening to Metallica's "One". That, and my eye is really hurting... It has a baby sty on the bottom of the lid. It hurts like the dickens, I tell you! OUCH!
Enough on that. I'm heading off now, `cause I have to finish my creative writing journal, start on the portfolio, read two+ chapters for Psychology, finish the term paper, eat lunch, and grovel before my creative writing teacher to take my journal a week late. Hopefully she'll just thumb through it-- because I need help on my couplet too. I'd ask Loran, but she's even more busy then I am : ) Oh well... just hope that I get everything done on time ^.^
My fortune cookie: I see no sleep for tonight. Kung fu-ey!!!

"Dream away your life
Dream away your dream
Nothing equals nothing" -"Gone" by Madonna
Today can be summed up in song. In fact, I'm just going to post the song I've been listening to ALL day. I'm in a terrible mood, sorry about this blog. I'm still drifting, lost in this chaotic sea, waiting for someone to come, yet knowing no one will. I just want to find my thick blankets and pull them over my head, falling into a sweet dream.
But enough about my rambling. I'm beginning to sound like Loran on a poetic rage. Here's the song.
"Gone"
Selling out
Is not my thing
Walk away
I won't be broken again
I'm not
I'm not what you think
Dream away your life
Someone else's dream
Nothing equals nothing
Letting go
Is not my thing
Walk away
Won't let it happen again
I'm not
I'm not very smart
Why should I feel sad
For what I never had
Nothing equals nothing
Chorus:
Turn to stone
Lose my faith
I'll be gone
Before it happens
(repeat)
Selling out
Is not my thing
Walk away
I won't be broken again
I won't
I won't fall apart
Dream away your life
Dream away your dream
Nothing equals nothing
(chorus)
Turn to stone [turn to stone]
Lose my faith [lose my faith]
I'll be gone
Before it happens
Turn to stone [turn to stone]
Lose my faith [lose my faith]
I'll be gone

Well...
Not much is really happening. I'm in a bit of trouble with some of my classes, though. I forgot to do the term paper for Psychology, and its due Tuesday, along with the workbook I'm half finished with. Alas, I forgot to turn in my journal, and might not even get any credit for the damned thing. Yes, alas.
I don't really care about it too much... I just feel so lost... I'm not going to talk about HIM right now... just know that I'm drifting now, unattached...

I started a new idea last night with my cuz. It's a little Harry Potter Fanfic, only it has a lot of new characters. Don't get me wrong-- there is a TON of romance going on, but it will work out pretty cool... anyway, I of course will be the character of Kolleen "Kolee" Brantley, an American that just CAN'T handle misogynists, egotistical rich boys, or the quinisensial snob. She's pretty cool : )
Anyway... onto my life... I'm still sorting out my feelings... I can't tell if they are good or bad or in-between... but I tell you, staying up really late reading Draco+Hermione fanfics really does that to ya, eh?
Again, anyway... I have to go down to his house pretty soon... More about that escapade later I guess!
Wish me luck!

Happy... some what
I'm so happy... and yet I feel this aweful trepedation. I am so scared right now... Half the time I'm giggling like mad, and the other half I'm sobbing into my pillow, but feel no release, for the hot tears refused to come. I... can't think, I can't breath, and I certainly can't make sense right now. I know that I have failed this chapter of my life, and I'm terrified that it will make me fail forever. But what is failure without truth? I have learned so much... failed more, but learned still. Will I be the same as I was? Will I be forever changed? Those are questions I think we can't know the answers to, no matter how hard we try.
I'm still happy, though. I'm going over to his house tomorrow... I'm going to ask him how he feels. I hope, with all my heart that he feels the same... and yet I'm terrified he will. These feelings... could they be side effects of the stress from Finals? The RPG that I am terrified about joining because, all in all, its really my cousins, not mine. Then again... what really is?
