June 9, 1998 - June 16, 1998
(June 9) Decisions and Packing
Okay, so I decided that my tongue stud must come out. Great, innit?
*chortles* Oh well, MaH BoY said that it wasn't as difficult to put back in
as I thought. But he's had his longer than mine and has taken it out a few
times before. I'm going to do a trial run by popping this sucker out tomorrow
and leaving it out for a bit and then putting it back in. BoY said it was
easier to "drop" it in by the top hole..but I dunno. We'll just see, and I'll
tell you guys all about it! *LOL*
Guess what time I woke up?! 3:30pm *LOL* Well, I went to bed at 5am,
so it's not like I slept tons. Michelle didn't get out of bed until 5:30pm
though..*hehe* We only ate one meal today and it was dinner at 6:30pm because
Terry Cafe closes at 7pm because of finals. That's stupid because during
finals it's like "okay" for people to stay up way late. Me, for example! *LOL*
(It's after 4am on Wednesday.) Oh well, we ate and it was cool cuz it'll be
the last time until next year, but I dunno if I'm gonna eat there next year
because it's out of my way....but then I don't have an apartment yet. Haw.
I did a bit of studying today, but tomorrow I will totally study, so I won't be
online tomorrow. I may sneak on for an update, but that can wait until
Thursday after the final. *eek* And then I get to go home. I watched Michelle
pack and clean today. It was actually interesting. *hehe* I guess I'm
bored. (:-P) *LOL* But we had fun. *LOL* Just a few more days, can you
believe it, people?! Wow.
I think I'm beginning to like Puff Daddy. Just shoot me people.....*LMAO*
Once again, old
entries have been moved. The last day for that set was June 8, so if you
haven't read it, check it out!
Oh, what the hell...here's the
URL to my other page. My "Miss Malade" page. I got most of the "look"
right, with exception to the gallery page. Most of the text hasn't been
put in yet, though.
(June 11) I'm Hewe!
Okay, well, not for long. So yesterday Michelle and I went out for the
last time. D'awwwww. *hehe* But first, I took out my tongue thing for a bit,
and put it back in. A-okay! *whew!* Then we went to sell back her books
and she was mad because most of the pyschology books weren't worth anything.
D'oh! Then we went to Cellophane Square to look at CDs. I must get the
CD. I need it. Haw. But it was waaaaaaay over-priced.
So then we went to Westlake Shopping Centre and looked around. It's cool.
At Sam Goody they had the Rach 3 CD. *drools* It was the featured piece
in the movie, Shine, which is an excellent movie....go check it
out. :-D And I also picked up Ravel's Bolero. Watch figure skating?
It's Torvill and Dean's trademark performance. :-D So then we went to Natural
Wonders. No, I didn't break anything. *LMAO* But! I did solve this wooden
puzzle thingie. I felt real smart afterwards. *hehe* It was really cool!
Michelle and I both needed lotion so we just walked into Garden Botanika and
Victoria's Secret for the lotion. *LOL!* Then we went to get her some cizzash.
*LOL* And we took a walk in Pikes Place Market. Purty flowers! I wanna!!
But we didn't get any. D'aww. So then we went to FAO Schwartz and played with
the toys for a while. I put on this awesome hat and wore it around in
the store. People were looking at me funny. *hehe* I dunna care. Haw.
Michelle stocked up on the various Sanrio stationeries and then I wrapped myself
up in a giant stuffed snake. *hehe*
We got on the next bus and it was really funny because the bus driver man was
like, oh my gosh, he was just sooooooo funny. The only bad thing was that
he didn't go to University Way, which is where we needed to go. So we got off
at some stop on Broadway and walked around. Michelle was intent on getting
an Ash CD, but there were none at the previous places we went to, so then we
went to some kinda closed-in market place. It was cool. I bought new
Smashing Pumpkins. Weeeeeeeeee. I didn't know it was out yet! But I
liiiiike it.
So it got kinda late and we had to study for the psychology final; it was time
to turn back. Got back to the room. Kinda studied, kinda not. *LOL*
Southpark was so-so last night, I was actually watching it but it wasn't so
hilarious. *shrugs* Kinda sucks. I'm gonna have
cable once I'm home. And it sucks more because they're starting the Real World
Seattle. I can't tell Ellen that I've been there...and there...and there. *LOL*
Poo! I went to bed at an early 10:30pm.
I woke up before my alarm went off. I just had way too much sleep! I studied
as I listened to the Smashing Pumpkins' Ava Adore. That's the song
they have a video out for. Cooooooool. So then Michelle and I went to class.
I didn't get to sit in the "monkey" desk because some chicky was already there.
D'awwwww. It was pretty easy. I only skipped two questions. No biggie.
Then we went scanning. *wink* And then we went to sell my books back.
Michelle cheated the system! Twice! *LOL* She went yesterday to sell her
books, kay? The man said this one book was "too far gone" and she didn't get
any money for it. So today she brought it back and got money for it! Lucky!
And! Yesterday she sold back a book and got $12 for it. I went to sell the
same book today but they were getting in a new shipment, so I got a big, fat
nada on that one! Haw. I'm just glad I got out of "track 1" in the
Pyschology class becasue those story-type books weren't worth anything! But I
picked up a free King Solomon's Ring. It's a good book. Go read. *LOL*
Michelle got her Ash CD, finally. And we went to La Vaca and got waaaaaay too
much food. Ug. Me tum is swelling! *LMAO*
So we went back to the room. I watched her clean. I gotta do it tomorrow. Ick!
Bennetts called and I gotta go and pick up an application for him tomorrow.
Everyone's gone home up here now, except for widdle ol' me. *wah* *LOL* Just
kidding...although, I kinda want to go home now. Just get it over with, you
know? A whole year, wow.

- Do watch Southpark.

not being quiet. Bahaw.
(June 12) Going home
Okay, today is the day. Time for me to go home. Allan and Bennetts have been
home since Tuesday..Wilson and Michelle left yesterday. I'm the last to go of
my group, I suppose. It's kinda weird. I'm sitting here, looking at Michelle's
empty side of the room. Well, it's not really empty because I put my stuff
there. *hehe*
I'm all frazzled, too. Like, we took that cart yesterday and
I'm keeping it here over night and stuff. Someone knocked on the door and I
was paranoid enough to think that it was people checking for missing carts.
But it was probably the girl I lent the cart to yesterday. Whew. But now I
just want to go home and get it over with. The packing and the carting and
the driving, etc. I just want it over and done. Hell, I could be home right
now but my parents didn't want to come get me until today!
I want to leave now. And it's like 4am. I don't care. I'm also concerned with
how many trips I have to make to get everything down. I think I need to make
two more runs. Fun, eh? Oh whatever. And I'm probably gonna go straight to
bed once I get home. I'm also concerned that my dad will be late due to the
traffic. Check-out time is at 1:30pm, and he's leaving at noon. But I think
my stuff can all fit in the Camry. Hopefully. I wonder what everyone's been
doing now that they're home and stuff.
I have to contend with mah interview on Monday and my doctor's appointment on
Tuesday. I should like to finish that roll of film I've been keeping since
Dan and Tom came in April...but I dunno. If it's finished by Friday, I can
turn it in and then bring up the pics to scan. Because Dan was very
cute! *LOL* And it's gonna be weird to be home. I have a lot of cleaning to
do. Lots! I hardly threw anything away up here, but then again, I didn't
bring much junk with me. And if I were to start working as soon as I could,
which would be Wednesday...I'd hardly have any recovery time, you know? Oh well,
I shall deal.
Since I'm home, I probably won't be online for very long or for very late. We
only have one phone line at home, so I can't be on while my parents are
home/awake. And since I'll be working, I won't be online totally late, unless it's
the weekend. But during the weekends, I usually go out, you know? But I'll
always have email. You know me and my dozen email addies...so if you have an
email address I gave you, don't fret, I will write you bawk! :-D
Hmmmm...I don't really know what else to say right now...It's 4:30am on Friday,
but I'll probably come back to add more stuffs to this page before I leave,
mmmkay?
Okay, I is bawk! I dunno why though, I don't really have anything new to say.
Bahaw. I gwuess I shall tell y'all about my packing status. All my things
(except for the computer) have been loaded onto my [stolen] cart. The final
trip will be for my computer. D'awwwww....*mourns for the loss of ethernet*
I suppose it was time for me to lose it anyhoo....I've been using it to
excess! *LOL*
Ooh ooh...so yesterday Michelle and I did our last round on the Ave. D'awwwww.
*hehe* I bought this 16" paper lantern at this store. I'm gonna put a
colored light bulb in it (puiple!!!) and then hang it from mah ceiling. It's
gonna kick ass! I have ideas about changing my room and stuffy stuffs. I just
hope that I will get some thing accomplished because, usually when I begin work,
I don't care anymore. *LOL*
Once packing status it done, I have to *eek* dust! It's sooooo dusty here. I
was like, "Ewww!" when Michelle was cleaning yesterday. SOOOOO much dust here!
The room was a mess when I first moved in, but since they have peeps looking
at your room, you gotta clean it up. Is that very fair? I think not!! Oh well,
it's not like I trashed the room or anything..*LOL* Well, Michelle ripped a
hole in the wall when she took that air freshener off. Oh well.
I'm up! I'm up! *LOL* I decided to "sleep" after all. I went to bed at
6:30am. I was "supposed" to wake up at 10am, as should one other person.
Mmm Hmm! *LOL* But I woke up at 11am instead. *sneeze* I'm dusting now, and
it's awful! Oh well. And it's weird how people start talking to me
now, when I'm leaving, instead of all year or something. Haw. *sneeze* I
think I'm done with cleaning. Once my sister gets here, I'm bring down the
cart o' stuffs. And hopefully our dad won't be late so some can go into the
van. My lovely computer is the last thing to go. I probably won't get
disconnected until, lessay 1pm today.
I think it's appropriate to put the lyrics of this song up, especially since
that's what I'm feeling right now. Awwwwww. *hehe* (:-þ)
Closing Time by Semisonic
"Closing time.
Open all the doors and let you out into the world.
Closing time.
Turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl.
Closing time.
One last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer.
Closing time.
You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.
I know who I want to take me home. (3)
Take me home.
Closing time.
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from.
Closing time.
This room won't be open until your brothers or your sisters come.
So gather up your jackets, move into the exits.
I hope you have found a friend.
Closing time.
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end..yah.
I know who I want to take me home. (3)
Take me home.
Closing time.
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from.
I know who I want to take me home. (3)
Take me home.

Take me home."
PS: Isn't he the cutest thing? *chuckles* Just look at him! *LOL*
PPS: Right now I'm "feeling strangely fine."
PPPS: I bought this CD months ago, but I haven't listened to it yet,
weird, eh? *chuckles*
(June 13) I am home!
It's nice being home. Although, I have the contents of two bedrooms in
my single one now. *LOL* I have a lot of cleaning and sorting and throwing
away of many, many stuffs! :-D It's not so bad. I have my stereo once again,
and about a dozen CDs, which are relatively new to me, to listen to! BTW, I
got the Bjork CD. It's soooo gooooood. *LOL*
So far, all I've done is clean my room, lay around the house, and hang out with
my friends. Tonight we went to a jazz concert. There I saw a..*drum roll,
please*..!!! Nelson told me how
rare these babies are, and it was probably a once-in-a-lifetime chance that I
got to see one tonight, for free. So I guess I was pretty jazzed about it.
*chuckles* It was definitely, uh..interesting, yah. *nudge* There's gonna
be a swing dance in a dance club nearby the concert hall next weekend; I think
we're gonna go. But I no know how to swing dance..or dance, for that matter.
*LOL* Do I have to tell you about Homecoming again?! *wink*
On the online status, things have been dreadfully slow. Look at me, I've only
been home a weekend and I'm already complaining! *LOL* The dial-up causes me
to rip out mah hair, but it usually behaves. I can only have two browsers
up, three tops! And my email is very, very slow. *LOL* C'est la vie! I will
deal. My modem isn't all that too slow. (Me trying to convince myself otherwise.)
*chuckles*
*sneeze* One thing about being home though, my allergies are acting up. D'awww.
I get maiiiiiiiiiil and I get a phone call and I get to meet (mebbe) two chat
peeps I know this week. WEeeeeeeeeeeee. Well, the mail will hafta come later
than this week, but it's coming. Weeeeeeee. *LOL* I'm feelin' the love now.
Yeeeeeeeeah! (:-P) Oh my gosh....music overload here, people!!
I'm delirious! I have..*looks at her CD collection*..my new Bjork CD,
Smashing Pumpkins, Dave Matthews (the new one and their "recently" lp), Semisonic,
Marcy Playground, Crystal Method (I haven't broken this baby in quite yet),
Savage Garden (I know, I know..you're thinking, "This doesn't fit in here?!"
*LOL* Hey it was free, so there!). I also have my old favorites: Sarah
McLachlan, Radiohead (yeah!), and the Great Expectations soundtrack.
So I have lotsa music to keep me company when I'm cleaning. *hehe*
Anyway, I just wanted to pop in here to let y'all know how I'm doing and stuff,
I'm still around!! But now I gotta sleep! (4am on Sunday) *drags herself off
to bed w/o the aid of her ethernet* *LOL*
(June 15) Think: Happy thoughts
Okay main news for today is mah interview! *eek* It wasn't so bad, but
it was bad just cuz it was an interview, you know?! *LOL* I got there early,
of course...I took about mah barbell, of course..and I was interviewed by three
other peoples. Scawy! *LOL* The interview was, like, ten minutes and that was it! Fini! They're interviewing two other people and I will know tomorrow
if I get the job. *whew*
Other news?!! I think I'm almost done unpacking and cleaning! It's pretty cool, actually, to have two of everything. But I think I'm most happy about
having four pillows on mah bed! Ooh...niiiiiiice. *hehe* I'm doing that
origami thing again. I just want to finish people!! Ooh ooh..and
mah BoY called meeeeeee on Sunday. Weeeeeeeeee. *hehe* We talky-ed for
half an hour but then he had to go "get coffee." ;-) L.O.L!!! *LOL!!*
I don't have any other stuffy stuffs for the rest of the week, not counting the
Seattle trip tomorrow. But oh well! I can't be running around like a chicken
with is head cut off all the time, you know? (even though, it's fun!! *LOL*)
Oh, and I thought I was done wif mah CD buying spree, but I have two others
I wanna get: Eve 6 and Black Lab. Weeeeeeeeee. More musics for me!! *hehe*
Adrian & Larry: I made you monkeys the tapes I've been promising! About
time, eh?! *LOL* *whispers* Now mailing them out..that's another story!
*LOL*
Anyways, I think that's it. My dialup connection here is bad. I can't touch
my other email accounts for the time being, I guess. So I'll lose the peeps
I found on Yahoo and etc..Oh well. Yuppers..and if I go on Chatalyst, it'll
more than likey be via Lynx..or..*barfs*..IE! It seems to be working better
than Netscape....d'awwwwwwwww..Note: Any typos you may see, it's because it's
too much of a pain in mah arse to go back and fix them..so deal with it!!
*LOL* ;-P
(June 16) Am I really here?
First thing: I did not get that job I interviewed for yesterday. They
found someone more qualified. But I'm okay with it because I wasn't ready to
start working...well, today (it's 2am on Wednesday). *LOL* It's all good. I
have a few other places to bug. ;-)
My connection with the campus modem pool has been ridiculously slow, I can't
stand it! So I usually get fed up and leave. d'awwww. So I'm trying to put
this update in as soon as I can or else my connection will die and I'll lose
my changes. Haw.
Well, Okay....so today I went speed shopping and bought Austin Powers:
International Man of Mystery. *LOL* That movie is soooo fookin hilarious.
You all have to see it!! Then I tried to go online in the evening for a bit
and was rudely kicked off. So I watched too much television and made some more
damned cranes. I did a count and I'm gonna be short 60!! They ripped me off!
I should actually have over 1,000 but I guess not...now! Haw. And I'm online
now and it's behaving! So it's just a shock to me that I'm here right now,
updating. *chuckles* Well, that's all I have to say for now.....check y'all
later. *hugs*
Okay, so I decided to push my luck and come bawk on to write some more. I don't
know why I did because I don't really have anything new to say! *chuckles*
Lemme think.....Oh okay, well, I thought and I don't have anything else to say
so I will call it a night. :-D
