September 22, 1998: The Policeman
betty and i decided that we did want to rent movies tonight. the
coo new movie rental place i have a membership to has 99-cent movies
on tuesdays, the new releases. regular movies are two for 99-cents..
which is still very cool. so it was 11:45, and i wasn't sure if they
were still open, so i called and they were.
i said i would drive (betty was driving all day) so we could make
it there on time. so i'm going a good 50mph in a 40 when i notice...
a cop car....
behind me...
flashing lights...
driving fast...
gaining on me..
what do i doooooooooo?????
betty and i were freaking out..all this just to get some damned movies!
*L* so, i just decided to be good....i signalled, pulled over...and
you know what?
he kept going!
he passed me!
i won!
how lucky am i! *LOL* very luckay! :-D so he just kept going. i was
free to go and rent movies. *whew* give me a heart attack, people!
September 23, 1998: Happy Birthday, Nan! *hugs*
so...wow, today is my last day in olympia for a while. i'm moving up
tomorrow evening and then going to school. *eek* i think it's almost
hitting me. ouch.
i didn't do much today. i went out for a couple hours with my friends
and we went to planet burrito, where i got the 'hottest sauce.' and
then we called it an early night because nelson was sick and jenn and
annie had homeverk to do. but i'm glad i got home cuz larry called.
*chuckles*
and today is nan's birthday! she's old like meeeeee. :-P *hehe* i
wish her the best on her day, even though i haven't gotten her anything
yet. ;-)
i dunno...schoo...whoa nellie! i haven't really packed either. i mean,
all i'm taking with me is my 'puter and my clothes, basically. i know
i will forget something; that always happens to me. :-P allan bought
my books for me already. *thanks allan* and so, i should be goo to
go, i just need to read my chapter ones, i guess. french..oooh scary!
*BoY you help meeeee*
i guess...das eet. i'm like feeling all flustered about schoo beginning
again and what has to be done this year (and all years after)..cuz it's
just so big..how can i do it all....
such is life, you know. you got to be there to even have a chance
cuz you only get one. :-) so, just take it...take it...and take care.
September 24, 1998: Well, here I am
okay, well, i woke up way too early, 11am. betty dragged me all over
town to do stuff while my back was huwting. *d'aww* we get home and
i'm beginning to feel lazy; the rents brought up the concept of moving
tomorrow instead of today. wooo. and i was thinkin' on eet. but,
mom came home and i knew i had to leave. *L*
she was being all loud and stuffs cuz we were leaving and blahblahblah.
i hate it when she does that. it's so annoying! she and dad bof
yelled after us while we were packing my things, reminding me to do
things i already knew. betty drove and it started to rain...but it
stopped when we got to seattle. *yay*
for once daryl (landlord) wasn't outside when i came up. betty and i
made several trips and finally everything was upstairs when the phone
rang. all i hear is, 'did you just try to call me?' 'uhhhhh, who is
this?' *LMAO* it was larry! so betty left..i unpacked and watched
the season premiere of friends.
Where was allan?! that boy was just nowhere! i was unpacking
when he finally came back. he's leaving tomorrow for nebraska, so i'll
be alone again. *chuckles* but..i unpacked and decorated mah room.
it's COO! you gotta see! i will have to take a pic and scan it cuz i'm
just so freakin proud right now. *L* at my room in olympia, my
parents pretty much didn't let me stick tacks in the walls..so i had
nuffin on mah walls for six long years. but now..i went tack-crazy.
*LOL*
but, i'm okay. i'm comfy here. i called larry back in mah coo room and
we talked a bit. this is home, people. :-D and i'm feeling all
excitey and anticipation-y for school..and fear and laziness as well.
*L* oh boy. first thing i gotta do is hit up the financial aid office
for more funds. not looking forward to it! *hides*
oh, and the connection in seattle is faster too. woo hoo! and i'm getting back
to updating more often! weeeeeee.
September 26, 1998: I'm bored!
i'm sooooo bored. today, well, my sister woke me up by calling me
at an early noon. *haw* and when i was just getting back to sleep,
wilson called. no, he's not at uw yet. but he gave me michelle's
number, which i called, but i think she went to her uncle's until
sunday; she did that last year.
but, i watched some more tv. we have pretty good reception (sp?)
considering we don't have cable. my sister says it'll be better if
we have an antenna, so we'll just see. i watched this old tv movie
with kelly martin and tori spelling. it was hilarious. after that,
i felt it was time to leave my place and went outside. woo.
i checked my mail and my paycheck was there. yay! then i went and
bought my schoo supplies, just a couple notebooks. i wandered around
about an hour and got bored of that, so i went back to my place and
folded more cranes. i have a wallful now, i think. but a few more
won't hurt. :-) then i watched that snl special on tv and it was
*hilarious*
wilson called to say he didn't move up tonight like he had told me
this morning. we'll probably go get his school supplies tomorrow.
my parents are coming tomorrow and they are bringing me stuffs! yeah!
i need long distance service. *haw* and i guess that's it. i have
school on monday. *gak* and my french book looks intimidating and
stuff. and my art history book is boring and my econ book is a lot of
letters...and my psych book is heavy.
um..yeah.
September 27, 1998: Mike Bliss aka Mikey aka WA GUY is my friend!
mike, i hope you're finally happy. *chuckles* ;-D
September 28, 1998: This is not good
well, fine. today was my first day of school. how wretched. i woke
up at 6:40-ish..and left the house at 8am. i was out of breath when
i arrived at my first class, francais. lovely. and well, my TA, she
is real french, so it's a real accent..and..she refuses to speak
english at all. she maybe only said 10 words in english to us. so i'm
sitting by two people who haven't studied french since spring quarter.
and here i am, i haven't studied for a whole year basically. rrrrr.
they say that they are lost as to whot she's saying..well, whadda ya
think i feel like? *bahaw* so she's just standing up there..
blahblahblah..and..blahblahblah..and this is really what i hear.
ooookay. french class goes bah-byeeeeeee.
i was soooooo relieved to get to econ...to hear english once again.
*haws* i think econ will be an otay class. if i just read the text
and understand it, i will do alright. and the TA for it...he seems
really nice, so i won't be intimidated to ask for help and stuff.
econ stays.
so then i go to psych. i have this class wif weeeson and allan. and
it was just so damned crowded that i couldn't find either of them and
ended up sitting by my dumb self way up high. and the prof was more
blahblahblah to my ears and i almost fell asleep..but. psych stays
too.
i met up with michelle at schmidtz hall but the finanical aid line was
too damned long, so i said: screw eet. and then we went to have lunch
at china first and that was goo cuz we missed the hot and sour soup
and the sweet and sour pork. mmmmmm. we talked an hour and then we
left. i went to mah bank to deposit my paycheck and take out a roll
of quarters to do laundry wif.
i come home and talka wif daryl for a bit and stuff...and i brought up
how one of my sockets no verk..and he said he would look at it. score!
and then i talka on der phone..and allan came home...and then bennetts
and michelle came over. and we all talka...then went to the subway
on campus for foo[d]. mo' talka. went over to michelle's dorm..and
then to wilson's..and took him wif us to get michelle's flowers.
they are nice!!! i wanna!!!! back to michelle's room...still
more talka. i was enjoying mahself wif her white board. hee heee...
and then, well, i had to leave for another class...rrrrrrrrrr.
another class that i'm not even registered for. nice. see, since i'm
dropping french, i need another class. and i want to take business
math for my business degree. but my only reservation about this class
is that it runs from 6:30-8:50pm monday and wednesday. suck! grrrrr!
okay fine. i go to the class and first thing i hear is that it
isn't very likely that i can get in this dumb class. but i sign the
overload list and sit through the first part of class. at the break
i went home. *har*
i talked to my sister and she suggested another class to take, which is
at the same time as my old french class. goody! allan came home.
phone rang. it was wilson..he, bennetts, and michelle were standing
outside of "my" math class. *LMAO* how nice though..they were gonna
walk me home and stuff. awww. but yeah, i'm glad they called so that
they wouldn't have waited there for another hour or so. *eeek*
so i dropped my poopy french class and went to add the comparative
literature class (the class my sis recommended), but i need a freaking
add code. i hate those! rar!! so i'm sitting now..at a lowly 13
credits. GRRRRRRR! but tomorra..i'm gonna go to that comp lit class
and see if i can be added to that. and then i'm gonna go to math on
wednesday to see if i got in. if i got into math than comp lit goes
bah bye. if i don't then i stay in comp lit...if i ever get the add
code for it. RAR!
and, so..i feel...despair..i'm all depressed. i think i'm not gonna
be able to sleep. and i just feel like i rushed into this whole going
to a university thing way too fast. i should have just stayed home
and went to spscc for two years and then come up here or something.
because right now just doesn't seem like my time. lately nothing
seems like my time though. grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
inconsiderate people are bad.
September 29, 1998: Ummmmmm.
well...okay, i went to sit in that comp lit class i wasn't registered
for..and the man said that i probably couldn't get in..but i could
still ask (the english department). whot eva. so then i went to the
aid office and basically i have so little money because i'm missing
5 credits. grrrrrrr. so basically once it's winter quarter i go back
and say, "gimme money."
i went to the puter lab for some emailing...and then i went to my
classes for the day:
econ was alright but this guy wif too much cologne sat by me again!
aaaaaaaaaah. and then we were let out 5 minutes early, so i was able
to find allan in psych and we waited for wilson. class was fine, i
guess it feels like a combo of weather and planets. *chuckle* :-P
today was my first day of art history. this class is only tuesdays
and thursdays. and my prof has a delicious accent. *nummy* but i
guess it doesn't matta how nummy he sounds if the stuff that is coming
out of his mouth is boring. *L* i was nodding off in dere. hey,
the lights were dim cuz of the slide show! *L*
then i walka 'round a lot to buy things for the class..but the text i
need for the class isn't there. GRRRRRR! i dunno whot to do cuz the
reading is "due" on thursday. dawwwww.
i'm back in my apartment. betty calls and she gave me some goo advice
about getting into yet another class i'm NOT registered for. i just
hope that math 112 pans out for me because i want to take it soooo bad.
and then i'm reading, then i fall asleep. grrrrr. i didn't want to
do that! i think i hallucinated cuz i thought the phone rang and i
went to pick it up and when i didn't get anyone...i asked allan if he
got the phone. and i didn't even wait for his response and went back
to my room and fell asleep again. *L@me*
he left for band. i made poppy corn for buffy! yessssssssss. angel is
still around! weeeeeeeee. the new show felicity seems otay..the
background music is a lot like 'my so-called life' and the opening
minutes was a LOT like that show as well.
but i guess that's it. i'm still very blah about school...but maybe
just a little less than i was last time. :-)
ps: i say 'basically' too much. :P
October 1, 1998: My rent is due!
well....it's thursday. and wow, i finally settled into my schedule!
i got into my english class. *whew* i stayed attentative in all my
classes! *proud* i find that if i'm awake during art history there
ARE notes to be taken! *L* and the accent is so much more enjoyable.
:-)
and then, i went back to mah apartment and slept..cuz i have no worries
on tomorra..i just have two lecture classes. weeeeeee. and then, i
talka larry! i have the right number! yessssss. and then he called
me and more talka. and i'm so awake now and in a great mood! weeeee.
plans for der weekend? well...i gotta meet michelle's friend who is
coming to pick her up tomorrow. and then i dunno whot else cuz allan
has a rally that night. and then on saturday annie and jenn are
coming. so that will be fun. and then i guess that's all. weekend's
pretty much busy. i will need to buy the rest of my books and go to
the post office. ;-)
October 6, 1998
okay well, i guess it's time for an update. how was everyone's weekend? mine
was actually quite busy and full. had some friends come up in the pouring
rain on saturday and there was a teeeeny argument which had me walking home to
my apartment with wilson, but it wasn't a beeg deal. ;-)
i should listen to my instincts more. something told me in the morning (laziness)
that i should skip english today -- but i didn't. when i got to class, i was
only there for 15 minutes. maybe i should have!! argh! econ was boring..and
when i got to psychology we just had to do surveys..so i could have skipped
that as well! no worries, though..cuz the surveys were funny as HELL. one
was a spider phobia survey...i was laffin the whole time because michelle hates
those things. and gee, i wonder if they pick me to be in that study..with
spiders. *ahhhhhhh* *L* but i'm sure they'd get a kick out of how i deal
with spiders..like the one that was home-home a few weeks ago. *ug*
and, well, i was gonna visit bennetts at his dorm cuz he's always calling allan
and me at home-here..but he wasn't there! har! how's that for being nice?
*L* just kidding. so i guess us five (allan, me, bennetts, wilson, michelle)
are gonna go and buy groceries and get lunch/dinner tonight. how fun is that,
eh? ;-) but..i'm stuck in this puter lab until 3:30..i have two hours left!
ug! help meeeeeeeeee.
October 11, 1998: heya
so i've been busy all week! ug! it's sooooooo bawd. but, all i can
remember bawk to is friday. i went to all *MY* classes...allan
skipped his music theory class. slackerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!
and then i stayed with michelle for a few hours. i caught a jackie
chan movie on one of their hbos, but i don't know the title. i went
home cuz michelle fell asleep on der couch and had time for some
emailing before my sis came and wisked me away.
i went home and my parents didn't even expect me. *har* but i was
only home for a few minutes before i left. d'aw! met up with annie
and sneaky and we picked bennetts up. HE was home since 2 in the
afternoon. *I* just got home after driving for 1.5 hours at 7:30. har!
we went to the evergreen library, but it was closed. d'oh! more
driving and i think food was involved too. then we all went home at
10:30.
my house has been converted into a karaoke bar. my parents had that
thing *blaring* arrrrgh! they said they were gonna have a partay
the next day for all my dad's air force buddies or something. nice.
i was good and went to bed early. :-)
the next day i woke up early too! ha ha! i watched my mom cook so
much food. i couldn't help cuz i just painted mah nails. hee hee. :P
when people starting coming, i stayed in my room until it was time
to leave and meet up with annie. dude, it was so loud..the music,
the people. arrrrrrrrgh. i was so glad to be out of there.
annie and i went to yelm taco bell and she was pulled over for having
her passenger headlight out. she *knew* that. but geez, we didn't
think she would get pulled over for that and the cop made this whole
production out of it. *har* but we continued on our way, ate, and
on the way bawk, we passed him again. ha ha!
we got back and she started this 'discussion' with her parents about
something that's going on with me. how...nice. oh well, they
look at me differently now, i think. after that, i called larry and
talked to him until annie fell asleep..then i went home and he called
me and we talked some more. i like talking to that boy. :-)
the next day (we're on sunday now) i just hung around waiting for
annie to get ready. we were going to barnes & noble for her sign
language book and i had to buy my sister bread and pop corn at
fred meyer. after that we had food at mcdonalds and it just wasn't
cool. i had to wait too damned long and it just wasn't cool.
i dropped her off and went home to pack.
packed everything up and goodbyes were okay. bennetts had his own
ride, so that was fine. i made good time though, 50 minutes!! i
rock. i was able to find my sister's place okay and she took me
back and it took me AGES to get situated because i had to unpack my
things AND write this 3-page paper for english tomorrow. i kept
distracting myself by doing the dishes (allan totally f'ed up his
cinnamon rolls! *L*) and rearranging our fridge food stuffs. but i
'finished' my paper, it's a bit short, but i don't care!
so now i'm waiting for ellen to finish her shower so we can talka cuz
we haven't talka in forEVER. and i have this itchy allergic reaction
going on here, i dunno if i want to go to schoo looking like dis..it's
from the dust in my home-home room, i guess. the rents didn't touch it
at ALL when i left, which was o'er 2 weeks ago. dust, you bad! fo'
dolla bad! phhhhbbbbbt! :P

some freak boy next to allan took two exams, and when he passed the
extra one down, he messed up the order! see, they made up two different
tests so we couldn't cheat, har, and this dude had a pink test, allan
had a pink test, and i had a yella one. so then one of the TA's came
up and yelled at allan for dis, when it was that freak's fault!
*LMAO* it was soooooo foony though cuz allan kept saying, 'it wasn't
my fault,' and she goes, 'i don't care. now come with me!' *LOL* d'awww
