April 20, 1998 - May 15, 1998
(April 20) Idea!
Duh! So my main page was too big, that's why I didn't have a complete
entry the other day. So I made a nice and handy-dandy place for you to go and
check out the old
entries if the spirit moves you. Haw.
I would tell you about yesterday, but I forgot what I did. *hehe* Oooooh,
yah, Michelle came back at noon and I was still sleeping. *LOL* We went out
for a bit but turned in early because she was tired. She was tired enough to
sleep at 10pm! Wow! I have my first midterm of spring quarter coming up
this Wednesday, and I have been studying. Yah! I've gotten used to not
getting good marks on my exams, so I'm not expecting much this time around, but
it would be nice to be surprised with a decent score. ;-)
And, I received some really *interesting* news via email. *hehe* Things could
happen my friends....
Ohh..and, no more
dancing baby!!! It's scary!!! *wah*
Another Award
(April 20..again) Beanie doesn't know how to tell time
Okay, so I dunno what was wrong with me, but I can't tell time. I was on the
computer late at night, as per, thinking, "Hey, it's only 1am, I can get five
hours of sleep tonight. Yeah!" I was helping *Belle* sis open a page with
Geocities, cuz their uploading is EZ. Finding a vacancy took forever! I finally
found her one and talked her through the uploading process. She made a comment
about the time..only she said the time was 2:30am. What? What?! WHAT?!
Geez Louise! It was nearly 3am. *wah*
Even though I had only three hours of sleep and five hours of glorious
instruction, today was a really GOOD day. Are ye surprised? You know I am! I
hate Mondays!! I was awake in my classes, listened, took notes, and even
remembered. Wow. So, maybe I should be sleeping at 3am more often? Nahhhhh.
*LOL* ;-)
I'm feeling pretty good about the midterm on Wednesday too. Besides, I have a
crutch...the prof drops the lowest midterm score. *hehe* Bad Beanie! I
promise I'm gonna try. :-D
(April 21) Stuffs
I had yet another great day at school. And in the afternoon, I went out on
The Ave and bought lotsa stuffs. Hey, I even cheated. I returned my
two psych books (after reading them) by saying that I dropped the class before
I needed to read the books! *LOL* Moneeeeeeeeeey!
I added another
friend and check me
out.
*grrrrrr* Wilson reconfigured my computer, and now it's all weird!! *whines*
A moment in history
The University of Washington now has Comedy Central!
I have *never* seen this show before, and tonight will be my first time!!
(April 21) Life in 3-D
I broke my glasses this morning. Now, these were my back-up pair because my
other pair, the lenses were positioned slightly off...so whenever I would wear
those glasses, I would feel like I was seeing things through a fish bowl. Well,
now with these broken back-up glasses, I had to go back to my old pair. It took
a while to manipulate the lenses but they're a lil' better. So now I see things
in 3-D. *LOL*
Is that possible? Oh, definitely! I went to look for cards today and all the
cards were popping out at me!! It works particularly well with neon
colors. And I also feel like I'm super duper tall too! Taw. I dunno what
accounts for that feeling..could it all be about my glasses? That's what I think.
Know what else I think? I need new glasses..STAT!
I had my one and only class today...and a mess of errands to attend to. I'm
studying for my psychology midterm all day today. Beanie is a Good Girl! *pats
herself on the back* I'll chat with y'all tomorrow. Wish me luck! *hugs*
Welcome back, Geoff, James, & Keith!!
*hugs*
My UK Branch has finally come back!! Well, IndieGirl is missing, but I'm sure
she'll surface soon enough. Yipee!!
(April 24) My bad...
I overslept. I missed astronomy. I haven't been in that class on Friday for
a month now. I feel bad. D'awwwwww. I don't know why I overslept. Hell, I
went to bed at 11 pm the night before! Astronomy doesn't start until 10:30. So
I had a LOT of sleep. Oh well. I went to psychology and checked my midterm
grade. It was below the median, but I was in the upper parts of the range of
scores...if that makes any sense. I'm satisfied with my score. Very much so.
I bought my first pair of Doc Martens today. Woo Hoo!
Today is also my mommy's birthday! Happy Birthday, Mom!
Plans for the weekend include going to Gasworks Park. (You know..the one..it
was in the movie Singles.) I'm gonna watch Canadian geese for two whole
hours. Ouch! My group psychology project, though so far I am the only one
doing anything for it. Bah! And then I'm going to read astronomy because I
have a midterm for it Friday. The Friday that I will attend class...haw. I'm
always through with my English paper. And whatever time I have left will be
spent sleeping, reading, listening to music...maybe I can get a shopping trip
done. Weeeee!
(April 25) Dumb Geese
Okay fine, I went to watch the stupid geeses today. I walked to Gasworks Park
(20-minute walk) in my new Docs. BAD idea! My feet hurt. Owwie!! I sat
and watched the dumb geeses do NOTHING for a long time. I came back to the room
to find out I missed my chance to go to a Mariners game. I don't really care
about that because I don't understand baseball that much. Did a lil' shopping
on "the Ave" and now I'm back in my room.
I did a lot of studying today, actually. I woke up at 11am! Early! I finished
my English and I'm still working on my astronomy and psychology. But, I'm
ahead of schedule! WEeeeeeeee!
Well, I updated my page
and I think it's pretty much done. When I find some purdy wallpapers, I will
start on my other pages. :-) *whispers* I'm a stealer... *hehe*
(April 26) One Thousand Cranes
From going to real birds to those of the Origami kind. The other day I bought
a packet of Origami paper. I was a real fan of this paper-folding art in my
grade school years, so this brought up a whole bunch of nostalgia.
There are 112 sheets of paper in this packet (3X3) and I'm going to make 112
cranes. Haw. Well, no, I am going to make exactly one thousand cranes. And
this may sound far-fetched, but I am going to pack up and mail 100 cranes to
10 of my friends.
There is a legend (more like a story)
behind these one thousand cranes, and this is my way of
spreading the
word. The story has special meaning in itself, but it means a bit more
to me because the statue is a walk outside my building. And so, who will
these ten people be? I actually have about five people in mind...but that means
there are still five people to be selected. And if you're interested, send
me a postcard. (weeeee! my ploy to get mailllllll!) Email me and I'll send ya my dorm address, okay?
But if there is no interest, well, I dunno...I suppose I'll just gather up
some addresses.
Make
yer own cranes! My hands are tired! Haw. ;-)
(April 27) Excellent Progress
Weeeeeeeeeee! I went to all my classes today and had a half-decent time in them
all. And! I finished the pack of Origami paper! One-hundred twelve paper
cranes finished! Weeeee! At this rate, I can have 1,000 made within 30 days
or so. Cool, huh.
Anyways, lessee...OOH! Plans for next year's room and board are already
happening. I'm going to room with Bennetts and Chunky next year. Fun, fun, fun.
112
(April 29) Back to Square One
Okay...so you all know that I've been making excellent progress with my cranes.
But I hit a snag. I ran out of paper. So I went back to the store, but they
ran out! Argh! The lady said they would get a new shipment in...a month. No!
So I went back to my room, disenchanted. I called my sister to ask her where
I could find some origami paper. She suggested the U Bookstore, which is right
next to the first store! Double Argh! But she said she would pick me up and
drop me off. Good. I waited and waited for her. But there was this big
ol' hullabullo with firetrucks, police cars, news crews, lotsa people out there.
The roads were all blocked off.
So I went to the U Bookstore by walking!
D'oh! But when I got there, they had the same size paper I needed. Yay! I
bought them all out because it was cheaper, but they were short a few sheets (
compared to the first pack I used).
I get back to my room to check out the papers. They are funky striped! NO!
I spent nearly $20 on stupid striped paper! All the cranes had to match! In
addition to buying the funky paper, I also bought this small cube of paper (2x2).
Now this pack had 245 sheets. So, if I bought four cubes, I would be over
the 1000. And I'd save money too! So then I walked back to the bookstore and
returned/exchanged them. The girl didn't remember me! I was only there an hour
ago! Geeeez! But I exchanged and got some money back, so I'm cool.
But that means, my first 112 cranes are "useless." I have to start back at
numero uno!! Sucks...but I have motivation because, as the legend goes (the
one Sadako was following) I get one wish from the gods. And I have one. A
good one. And that is my motivation to hurry and complete all 1000 cranes so
they may be set in flight.
Okay, well school has been going well with me. I still have that astronomy
midterm on
Friday. Blast! And today in the lab, I was able to look at rocks/soil from
the moon (lent from NASA, no less)! They were slices, though..and placed on
microscopes, so I din't get a chance to touch the moon. *shrugs* But it was
very interesting!! English class is fine. I actually think my writing has
improved. My psychology class is so-so. I have a group project due in a month.
'Member? The one with the stupid geese. Haw. I'm going home this weekend.
It'll give me a chance to pack up somethings to take back. I have a lot
of crap up here. *LOL* This will also be the first time home since I discovered
that I had been using the wrong dialup on my modem. So I'll know soon whether
or not I have access for the summer. Cool!
My webring is doing swimmingly!! Visit our most recent

***Neat-o Download for However Long!!***
I strongly urge you to go and download a
MOPy Fish. It's a screensaver-type thing, with a gold fish. The fish
responds to your mouseclicks and will die if you don't feed or interact with it.
The longer you keep your
MOPy Fish, the more things you get to keep your
MOPy Fish happy, like a rock with plant, air bubbles (which make sound!!!),
a thermometer, and the creme de la creme...the aphrodisiac fish food!! I have
all of the above, except the aphrodisiac fish food. But in a few (weeks,
maybe?) I will have enough points to feed my
MOPy Fish this special food. WEeeeeeeee! It's like having a real gold
fish without the hassels of cleaning and whatnot. So go download your
MOPy Fish ASAP!!!

(April 30) A few quick notes before I go nappy bye
Film Thursday rocks, as ever, but I just couldn't get comfortable in the chair!
D'awwwww. I went back to my room and talked for a while. Chunky called me
up for a quick chit-chat and asked for The End's
phone number. I gave it to him. He called back in a few minutes to tell me
that he just won tickets to see this Sunday at the Paramount.
Get out!!! Yup, he won. He's taking Anne Marie,
of course, like it'd be any other way, but I told him he had better buy me
something. *LOL* WEeeeeeeeeeeee! I started on my tiny, tiny cranes again.
I am once again making excellent progress. :-D But now I should study for
my astronomy midterm. Bah!!
BTW, the server for the MOPy Fish
doesn't work at all, my friends have said. So, if you are still interested in
receiving your very own MOPy Fish,
email me and I will send you the
set-up for the program. But, just to let you know, it's 1.34 megs, and
email accounts such as Hotmail and
Yahoo probably won't accept it. But if you
have alternative email addresses, such as those with your university or with
your online service carrier, than it should work.
D'awwwwww....you can't seem to
MOPy? Check out
The Amazing Fish Cam!!. :-D

(May 1) Eureeka!!!
New Site for the MOPy Fish
Oh my gosh! I found another site for it..(*dur* it was linked off the HP site.)
I tried it..and it works! Go get your
MOPy fish now!!
(May 4) Dunno...
I went home for the weekend. I changed the dialup number and it worked. So,
good. I have email for the summer. I ended up sleeping my whole Friday...I
missed a shopping trip with my mommy!! I started watching "Merlin" because
when it was on, I wasn't watching because of the computer. *LOL* My Saturday
began late. I spent a lot of money. I bought two
Dave Matthews Band CDs. Very niiiiiiice. I also bought some clothes.
Yeah!!
My weekend went by too fast, next thing I know...I'm speeding past this woman
on the freeway at 100 mph...she nearly hit me!! And then I'm in my room.
Allan & Anne Marie went off to the Tori Amos concert. I wonder how it went.
Michelle came back late. She usually comes at 2-ish, but it was nearly 8 when
she arrived.
Monday was cool because I left the room an hour later because of the conferences.
I am actually doing GOOD in my English class. Yeah!! Astronomy classes were
so-so and Psychology class was pretty good. I came home, with full intent to
read, but I ended up napping for 3 hours. *LOL* Oh well.
(May 5) My bad
I missed my one and only class today. I overslept. I must have been real tired.
I woke up for DAYS and started to read afterwards...but then I fell
asleep again, for three hours. Now I'm up, I've read and stuff and I'm still
reading. *LOL* Guess I didn't do so bad, eh?

(May 7) Night of the Weird
Why was last night so weird? I don't know. It was just the *weirdest* night
I've ever had online! On the "real-life" perspective, it was normal. Michelle
and I watched tv stuffs and she indulged herself with Jerry Springer. *chuckles*
Okay, I did partake in that activity too. But, whatever! We're not talking
about me watching Jerry Springer. We're talking about how weird last night was!
Everyone in shapes, left "early." Quel Surprise!! The room was cleared
by 1am, I believe, when this room has been known to be with people until the
WEE hours of the morning. It was just nuts! And also, it was probably a weird
night online because Ellen wasn't there! She was studying! Bah! *hehe*
Just teasing, she's good for staying away from the compy to study. She will do
good on her exam. :-)
My ICQ is crap. I think I need to redownload it. But I don't want to lose all
my UINs and things like that. SomeONE gave me instructions on how to do so
without losing my information. Once I'm not lazy or borderline-unconscious, I
will do just that. So hopefully, when I get sucked into chats, I won't be the
retarded one who can't see the other people. *chuckles*
BTW, I hate it when geocities is down. Good night!

(May 8) My bird had a birthday

(May 9) Jeanny Loves Her MP3's
Ah so! I finally figured out how to play MP3's. Yay!! I've had
winamp downloaded for the longest time, but
I couldn't figure how what it was for and how to use it. But yesterday
afternoon, I had an epiphany (*winks @ Ellen*) and now I have MP3's. Yeaaaaah!
Though, finding complete MP3's is another story. Bah! I had three
"Hey Jude" MP3's downloaded and none were complete! And! I can't seem to find
another "Wonderful Tonight" MP3 either. Nah! Oh well...searching for MP3's
is muy hard because all of the pop-ups from the sponsors come up..and that just
clutters my entire screen. Ha!
Anyhoo, this is me on my "break" from writing my English paper. Bah! I see that
angelfire has made some modifications to their web shell. I likes! If only
they made it sooner, cuz then I wouldn't have, like, three other pages on
different account *mock gasp* for my uploading purposes. *hehe* Hmmmmm...well,
I suppose I'll get back to mah essay.
New News for Today: (May 15) Hmmmmmm...
I suppose I should add something before I go home for the weekend. Well, so
what's been going on with me? About the same stuff. Same crap, y'know. I
have actually been studying and reading a lot this past week, so sometimes I
don't even log on until late into the night. Which is like weird because I
used to just come back from classes and log on and stay forever. But because
I go on late at night, that also means I stay up late. And boy, do I stay up
late. I think I've been sleeping at 3am. I'm not sure...too tired to be sure.
Haw. (:-þ) (<---*winks @ Nan*)
So I would also take a 3-hour nap in the afternoon. Should I even call it a
nap? It's as much sleep as I get at "normal sleep time." And one day, I
actually took TWO naps. Jeanny was very tired. Still is. I have a midterm
today, I kinda worked up until the deadline I guess you can say. I finished
my text book reading last night at 2am. But after the reading there is still
studying, which I did. And I think I have things down pretty good. So
hopefully I will do good.
I bet all the people who are out of school right now are just laughing and
pointing at me because I'm still in school. But I don't really care right now.
Haw. I get out of school late, I have a long summer, and so I begin school
late. Weeeeeeeeee!! I've been the long and arduous (is that a word? I think
it is..but then again, I "thought"...*LOL*) journey of committing myself to
a major. Fun stuff. Not really though.
Oooh..and know what else? For a night or so, I thought I was going to California
this weekend with Chloe and her Dad. Her dad, I just realised was one of my
first chat friends from over the summer. Small world, eh? Well, so yah..she
said her dad was on his way to Arizona and would stop by L.A. to drop her off.
Then she mentioned that they could come by HERE and get me for the trip. I
just about passed out. It was all too weird because I had asked my sister the
day before what our parents would think of me going down to California some time.
But the next day, she said that that wouldn't work out. Because her dad would
be driving and much of the weekend would be spent in transport. Which
leads to...
There is going to be a meeting in August down
in sunny California. The exact dates are yet to be determined..and I don't
know if I can go, but if a weekend falls in during the whole time; I can go.
Work impedes in soooo many things. *nudge* But I'm looking forward to it. :-D
Who's gonna be there? Well, the people who are IN Cali, of course!! *LOL*
-
*Belle*: I'm gonna get to stay with her while I'm down visiting.
Thank you Ellen and Parents. :-)
-
~Serena~
-
Fishbulb
-
*Katie*: Who doesn't live in Cali..but she's the one organising this
whole thing. :-) Chloe, you rock!! *hehe*
- And a few other people who haven't quite committed yet.
All in all, it should be something fun and memorable.
So! How's this for an update? A lot of yakkity-schmackity, innit? BTW, if you
haven't gathered by now, I put my
cranes on hold for the moment. I should be comfortably in the 600s by now,
but I just haven't been folding them. This psych
midterm has taken up a lot of my time as well as this ridiculous English paper
I had due at the beginning of the week. School sucks!!
