ahhh, yet another sunday afternoon at work. I had a very interesting week. I think my test on Tuesday went really well. So i'm happy about that. I spent a lot of time with my sisters this week. Wednesday we all went over to Phoe's place to say goodbye to Kim. Its hard to believe that all the seniors are leaving and going out into the real world to get real jobs and such! *shudders* such a terrifing thought! Thursday I was really bored, and I spent a lot of time on the phone talking to my sisters about how we should all do something. lol. And friday...what did I do friday? oh yes. Brynne and I decided that we were pregnant and had to fulfill our weird cravings. So at 10 we got in my car and went to steak and shake for shakes(duh) and fries. ooooh sooo yummy. Then we got a call from Kat who was going to see the Day After Tomorrow. We didn't have anything better to do, so we joined her. Such an awful...AWFUL movie! We were laughing the whole way through it. I felt kinda bad at first, cause we were the only ones laughing at "serious" parts. But come on now....the script was horrible!! How could you not laugh! ahhh, but it was entertaing! and made for a very fun spontaneous friday night. Sat...ug, not so good during the day. But i did get a lot of friendly phone calls that made me feel better. I decided that after sleeping all day, I needed to go out at night...but couldn't take a trip to canadia with the rest of my sorors so yetsy, brynne, and I all chilled and watched Sex and the City. Such a wonderful girls night! lots of food, laughing, and all around silliness! I think I got Yetsy offically addicted tho. tee hee. I'm so mad that I'm going to go and buy the 5th season this week. I've managed to hold off for this long...but after watching season 1 last night, it made me realize how much I really want the rest of the series....well sans season two(I don't think anything really important happens in season 2....somebody correct me if i'm wrong).

I want to take my dad to a tigers baseball game for father's day. I think he'd really like that. Too bad, there isn't a home game on father's day. I'll just take him to one the week before or after. I wonder if my grandpa likes baseball? I dunno. I shall have to look into that.

My blanket is getting bigger. I finally finished the pattern, now I just have to repeat it three more times!! I get so excited everytime I switch to a new color.

oh! randomass moment that happend twenty minutes ago. So i'm rockin' out to this 80s radio station(i've been really into 80s music lately) and i'm working on my blanket and this aerosmith song comes on. So I start singing "livin' it up in the vida"...which I know makes no sense...but this german professor who was walking by, comes up to the front desk, looks at me for a minute, and says "I think its Love in an elevator" and walks away. Sure enough, he was right. But oh my! how I was laughing!! Gotta luv the front desk. Such funny moments!!

sweet ass! flock of seagulls just came on! i'm so trying to re-live my childhood.

One more randomass comment before I return to my blanket. I feel like I'm gonna have a nightmare soon. I've been seeing too many scary things lately.

Day After Tomorrow, coupled with all the bad weather we've been having
This really disturbing documentary on the rise of hate groups since the internet...some REALLY scary shit. A documentary that all people should see. I highly recommend it.
ET. don't ask. But one of my sisters was watching it. That movie still scares the shit out of me.
all the crime reports that are being posted around oxford....its scary to have to walk from my car to the building at like 4 in the morning...all the bushes seem to be watching me....(why did i just want to break out into Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me"!??!)
I saw a squirrell get hit by a car yesterday. *shudders* sooo sad.

okay, back to duran duran and peter gabriel.

Fri, 21 May 2004 00:40:26 GMT

ahhh, let's see now. i can't remember when i last updated this, and i'm too lazy to find my last entry right now. so i'll just start somewhere.

I'm thinking that it wasn't so wise of me to take spring classes. Well I mean, I kinda had to..if i wanted to graduate ontime. But i still feel the need to complain about them. I haven't had classes five days a week since freshmen year. This whole Monday thru Friday thing...i don't like it. But at least the classes are really interesting. Each day I'm more convinced that I made the right decision to add comm. Speaking of which...i have a midterm next tuesday. I'm gonna need to start studyin' for that. Its 150 multiple choice. I hate multiple choice. Its so...cut and dry. With blue books you can totally bs your way thru something and it makes it easier to argue for a better grade. Mult. Choice...no such luck. Damn scantrons....they always seemed to intimidating to me. Perhaps that's 'cause I associate them with SATs and all that important stuff that at one point ruled my life. (lol...ahh the worries of high school)

Speaking of high school. I had a very interesting convo with someone about high school and our opinions of it. Am I the only one who like high school?? everyone seems so anti-high school. I mean sure, college is a hell of a lot cooler. But I think high school was great and was a totally necessary stepping stone to college and helped shape me. I dunno...just my thoughts.

I had the pager last night. I hate high school students. How ironic, given that my last paragraph was so pro-high school. Anywho....the dumb little teens think that because they are on a college campus they can go out at night and leave their keys in their rooms. Too bad the doors lock automatically and they ended up paging me at 11:30pm, 1:30 am, 2 AM, and 4am to let them into their rooms. lol. I mean sure it is part of my job to do this. I guess I just didn't realize that so many people took advantage of paging the front desk staff after hours. lol. It also didn't help that I couldn't let them into their rooms, and I had to keep calling security to let them in...and security didn't believe me after the second call. oh well. I was also having really weird dreams in between each page. I know I was talking to jeff on the phone while cutting up tomatoes in a kitchen with paul during one of the dreams. Then another one I was on this school yard and one of my friends was getting arrested, so she quickly gave me her gun and I had to hide it. but then she was in jail so I became the "bully" of the school. And the last one was about dying my grandma's hair purple so that we would match.

Such crazy things going thru my head apparently. I can't really explain why I would be dreaming that stuff. Although the whole school yard/ "bully" dream was really vivid! it was one of those ones where you think its actually happening.

In other news. I'm crocheting (that so doesn't look right when its spelled out) a blanket. So far I only have the first pink, white, and part of the blue stripe done. I still have another white and green stripe to go before I can repeat the pattern. I don't see myself getting the blanket done until the end of summer. But I suppose that's a good thing, 'cause then I'll definitely have something to keep me occupied when i'm behind the front desk after classes end. Although, I was working on it behind the front desk earlier this week, and a hotel guest came up and was like "ooooh, are you having a baby". I just looked at the lady like she was crazy. I mean sure...right now its only pink and blue...and suuuure my tummy was growling cause I hadn't eaten all day so i kept rubbing my belly. But still!!! If anything I'm now more determined to loose weight. I've been really good so far. Very few sweets. Smaller meals. And going to the CCRB frequently....although i'm still trying to work out a set schedule for that.

okay, this is getting too long. But before I end it. I have to make a note of the fact that today I went home to grab some notecards. And the darndest thing happened. My parents changed the locks on all our doors without telling me!!!! now what kind of a signal does that send to their only child!! I swear, you don't live at home for one summer and look what happens!

lets see. yeah. I think that's it. some other stuff going on in my life...but i think that's gonna go in a private entry. and i don't feel like typing any more, 'cause i'm all alone in the O comp. lab. and its starting to freak me out.

Thu, 22 Apr 2004 20:47:49 GMT

soooo tired. its my own fault tho. instead of being able to party with everyone else i had to spend all last night writing my final paper for world film. it brought back memories of freshman year and writing my final 17 page english paper in one night with brynne. ahhh goodtimes. but last night....definitely not good times. finished it at 7 in the morning, went to go print it out....paperjam(of course). by the time i fixed it and managed to print all 20 pages out it was 730. Took a nap for 15 minutes and then left by 7:45 to turn in the paper by 8. then i had to go to the ugli to return the films that i checked out and search for my mcard. they sent me to DPS...useless, cause the guy there just told me that aparently one of their officers has the same last name as me. he thought it was a practical joke. I was not amused. a half an hour later they sent me away without an mcard. :(. went to fill car with gas. sooo expensive. went to buy more film. sooo expensive. went to buy mom mother's day present. sooo expensive. all this equals broke rissa. then went to the darkroom for a few hours and finally returned home.

but there is some fun stuff tonight. yetsy's bday dinner with sorors at 7. Que's probate at 9 (i'm pumped to see this!! they are always so rowdy). MGC meeting at ten (boo), then home and bed by 1 for lots and lots of sleep! yay! annnnnnnd we're co sponsoring a party with the Betas tomorrow!! sooo pumped about that!

alrighty. i'm off to make a typical "rissa's creative bday cards".

yay! the semester will be over for me by next tuesday!! yay! *does happy dance*

Thu, 15 Apr 2004 06:29:09 GMT

oh my goodness. I just experienced the worst meeting of my life. Such stupidity. Such ignorance. And i wish people knew more about greek life and mgc and stuff so they could understand my anger and disgust. But they don't. and its just awful. All around. How do people expect to change things if they aren't willing to have an open mind. How can you complaing about discrimination and the perpetuation of stereotypes and then just want to sit back and cry about shit and refuse to support people who are working their asses off to make this university a better place for minorities!!! i just don't understand it. And more importantly how are you going to try to use intimidation as part of your argument. FUCK THAT!! leave. if you're going to threaten to leave if she doesn't get impeached then fuckin' leave! no one wants you in the council. its not like you do shit. you didn't even come to meetings in the first place until your asses got fined like 70 bucks. and why are you pretending to care about multicultural issues when as a fraternity you are so closed minded and do nothing but support your own culture. you are trying to exert your penises and feel important. you give weak arguments and pretend to know about shit that you have no clue about. and the sad thing is is that people are actually listening to you. people follow where you lead all because the probably want to suck your dicks. well that's fine then. if it makes you feel better. then fine. but we're not gonna let you walk all over us without a fight and you tried to play dirty tonight. but that shit didn't work, because you didn't expect us to speak up and not let you get away with shit. bet you didn't expect a group of women to have minds of their own and have other people support them. and no matter what happens. i hope that they are happy. that its because of them that mgc is gonna take two steps back. and it sucks cause we've worked our asses off to make things better, but they just ruined all that.

my apologies to all who end up reading this. but this is my only place to vent right now and its the conversation that i was having in my head at the meeting, but due to the fact that i had to represent my sorority and remain business-like (although i don't know how well i succeeded at that :( . it had to remain inside until now. and i had to put it somewhere.

aww. let's try one more time

alright. you win. why does this have to be so complicated. First I'm told that EVERYONE has a link in the IM profile and that apparently i should have one too. Sadly, I have no cool personal web page or fun pictures or social activist article to link to my profile. Instead, all I have is my lj. So i figure, why not. I put it on. Buuuuuuuut, this creates more problems because apparently I can't have a link to an lj that I haven't updated in a month or so. So here I am. Updating this thing so that I too can have a link informing everyone of all that pertains to the life of a modern rissa.

Two random comments before I dive into a recap of my weekend.

A) david spade on just shoot me isn't as good as david spade in emperor's new groove.

B) the UPN channel has way to many shows that have similar titles...ie. One on One, Half and Half...and they are lame titles at that. Does anyone even watch this channel. so bad.

Anywho. So yeah. I saw City of God at a movie night on Wednesday. Fuckin' awesome movie. EVERYONE should see it. Soooooo good. cinematography was so on point. It didn't win the oscar for it, did it? probably not. oscars are full of shit now anyways. Thursday. MGC dinner night. silly times there. But I do have some fun pics from it (thanks to abel! :) hopefully this will work...i've never tried to put pics on here before.

hum, then after that I went to Phoe's place where she taught me how to crochet (sp?) and I made a headband!! i was so excited. We stayed there till like 3ish? i dunno. then friday night i went home. Chilled with the rents. Celebrated easter a little early. Saturday I made a cake!! oh its so pretty and tasty too!! Then there was a beta party, but i was kinda sick of those. So i decided to chill with paul. As usual crazy times there! but i wouldn't have it any other way! And then today i had to go to work and chapter meeting.

I'm so tired. The weekend is over. And i haven't done half of the things that I should have done to prepare for this week. We'll see how it goes. I'm going to bed now. good night all!

i dunno....stuff...why do they even give this "subject" box..does anyone every really use it??

Thu, 04 Mar 2004 17:35:16 GMT

Gah. Spring break was not long enough. More importantly, why didn't I do more homework. Such a bad decision on my part. oh well.

Let's see. I have lots of papers to write. Four of which have to be on some stupid ass french films. I'm starting to question my logic. What ever possessed me to take a course on French cinema?? My professor is an ass. He's one of those professors who's written a lot of books and thinks he's the shit because of it. Arrogant bastard. We all hate him...sans the random music major in my class who practically worships him *coughsuckupcough*. Although I will say this. The people in my class rock. I've come to totally love them. Yesterday we were having a discussion about les enfantes du paradis (a somewhat decent movie) and the male lead's sexuality is very ambiguous. Its key to the plot, but then someone mentioned that in most of the french films we've watched the definition of masculinity and sexuality is very...."shady" in all these films. And then the conversation turned to the idea of impotency and it was a rather interesting conversation (cause there are only four girls in the class, so for once we got to sit back and listen to guys discuss gender issues). And we really were staying on topic and relating it all back to the films we've watched. But everytime someone would use the word impotent my professor would clear his throat and try to talk about other stuff in the film.

Yeah, we all got a kick out of that. hehehe...good times. I think it established some random bond between us all. I mean, we're a small class...probably no bigger than 20 or 25 people. And we had never really had that lively of a discussion before, so now everyone is all chummy with each other. Good times. Now that's what college is about!

I went playing in the rain yesterday. Fun FUN times!! our AMs are moving along in their process!! I can't wait till they're sisters!! and i can't wait till i'm dean!!! But this scary man showed up at the track and was talking to us about skunks and how they stay warm in the summer...yeah, we've decided he's serial killer and we never to go back to the track at 2am again!

oh! I saw my first pierced nipple yesterday! I don't care what anyone says...that shit is HOT!! She said it didn't hurt tho...i find that hard to believe. I'm still deciding exactly how to embellish my tat. I"ve given myself an actual deadline to get it done tho. April 20th. That's the date. I'm determined.

I've decided that photography some how has to be a part of my future career. Location manager possibly? Doing behind the scenes photos and interviews possibly? who knows...there is a world of possibilities.

I have four papercuts on my hands. How did that happen? I'm not sure. But its been raining a lot lately and I love it!! *does happy dance* Hopefully it won't snow again *knocks on wood*.

For all you UofMers. Celebration of Unity. This friday (march 6th). Fun times...possibly...i dunno. I've never been, but my sorority has a table there and there will be a party afterwards!!!! :)

Rissa got that beat that'll make your booty go *clap*.

confessions of a front desk employee

Thu, 29 Jan 2004 22:49:56 GMT

Okay, so here are my thoughts about my job. Enjoy...cause i have nothing better to do right now.

Bad Things:

I'm always late, because they pick the hours you work based upon your class schedule. And the chick that does the scheduling only give me like ten mintues to get from class to work...and we all know that the journey (because it really is a journey) to oxford is at least a twenty minute uphill climb.
You don't get a raise until you've worked here for at least a year...come on now! we're students...we need the raise...and it should be given every semester...cheep ass school.
We are open for every fuckin' holiday...one exception-Christmas break...we close for a week.
You're all alone in a little box by yourself.

Good Things:

I'm all alone in a little box...which means I can find fun things to amuse myself with (ie. Spinning around in chair, writing in my lj *grins*, talking to fun people online, and sitting on the counter while eating chinese food that I ordered while at work and talking to my ol' roomie)
Our boss is pretty cool. And the other front desk employees rock my socks! (random shout out to Nate, Andrew, and Mario!!...even tho they don't read this!!)
Its literally one floor down from my room. Can't get any better than that....sure as hell beats Spin Physics...i had to take the stupid bus to get there!
It gives me money....mmmmm...money...*scary psycho greedy face*
I know everything that is going on at oxford....wait a sec...maybe that should be in my bad things list?...hum...i'll ponder that later.

So that's my pro and con list for where i work....now for something slightly more amusing.

Fun things that have happened to me at work today!

The post man and I exchanged a few laughs over a cup of joe! How cool is that?
Random HITO boy (Jacob) came and asked me all these questions about Oxford, and then when he found out my name, he proceeded to tell me this twenty minute story on how he when to Niagra Falls this summer(it was his first time out of the country...ever) and he was exchanging money and on the dollar bill was a phone number for a Marissa. It was a 734 area code and he called the girl. He thought it might have been me that he called. I was sorry to dissappoint him. And although this was really strange, it kept me entertained while i logged all the packages in the binder.
I sent a fax for a girl who is from england...and she was telling me all about the weather there...she was really enthusiastic about weather....*raises one eyebrow*
This kid Nick came to the front desk and borrowed our scissors and tape. When he returned it, the scissors no longer had one handle and there was tape all over his jacket. This leads to many questions about his methods of hanging posters *rubs chin*.
I was ringing up a sale for this one kid. I asked him if he wanted the receipt...his response was "I need to go to the toilet". I handed over the receipt and asked no futher questions.

Ahh yes, such an eventful shift...and its not even over yet! Oh well...off to do the crossword puzzle! Hey you UofMers...did anyone read the article about TMH in the weekend mag? lol...gotta luv those crazy Weekend mag editors!

Mon, 26 Jan 2004 08:08:47 GMT

aw man...the spacing just got all f'ed up. oh well. it'll just have to stay like that till i decide to fix it. boo that! its etch-a-sketch if you ask me!!(that was just for you ;)...you know who you are!)

Mon, 26 Jan 2004 08:05:35 GMT

Alrighty, so let's see. Saturday I got up all early 'cause I was supposed to go home for the day and do all this random family stuff (sign some document or the other and help plan for my grandma's bday...its a week long celebration...she doesn't just have a day...she has a week...how badass is that! grandma rocks!) But then I get a call from my mom. "sorry punks, we're gonna run to target and meijer, and then get something to eat...so we'll see you at 3". I jumped right back into bed after that. I finally got up again, did a little bit of homework, then headed home. Good times there, parents are crazier than ever. Its funny, cause even they admit that old age hit them the minute i left the house. It's kinda funny....yet sad to watch. I never really pictured my parents getting older. Huh...just one of those things I never stopped to think about. Anywho, so I finally got back to my room around tenish. I tried to be productive and wash dishes and do homework and all that jazz...but i finally said fuck it and settled in for a nice movie and some popcorn. Scarface...cool movie...very bloody...but still a good movie. It made me feel like a badass just watching it. Finally fell asleep around 3ish i think.

I woke up really early this morning, so that I could get to the darkroom early. Got there, and talked with a few people who were also developing stuff this morning. I actually managed to process two whole rolls of film!!! i was so proud of myself! too bad half of the pics didn't come out. Stupid shutter speeds and apatures...i still have to get used to all that. Anywho, then i came back and got ready to go to work. Same ol' stuff there. I actually fell asleep tho behind the counter. The hotel buzzer went off and woke me up. that damn buzzer scared the shit out of me tho! After work I decided that it was actually time to settle down and really get some work done...i'm sure you all can guess what happened next. I fell asleep and managed to sleep thru my chapter meeting. But in my defense (for all those who are wagging their finger at me right now and saying "shame on you"), I did actually get a lot of work done before I crashed. Then it was off to the greek week meeting (boring as usual), and then back to the darkroom to enlarge some pictures and try my hand at making a contact sheet. I was sorta successful. Pictures turned out great! But contact sheet was fuzzy. I actually freaked myself out tho. I was all alone and the darkroom is really scary (its in the basement of e.quad...need i say more?) and I thought that by just moving around and making noise (read: calling someone) I would be okay. But the minute I hung up the phone I heard some tapping on the window and I freaked out cause I thought someone was trying to break in. So I jumped and there went the stop bath all over everything. Turns out it was just a bush hitting the window...i'm such a dumbass.

So yeah, that's just a recap of the weekend. Random sidenotes tho:

Am i developing narcolepsy (i don't think that's even remotely close to how you spell it!)?

I thought I lost monday and wednesday for a while. But monday turned up today! So exciting...but it still raises questions as to the whereabouts of Wednesday! (Somehow I think only Paul will understand this...ps-forget doing the dishes at your place....come do the ones at mine! :)...it was worth a shot)

I have the hardest time reading people. This person that I talk to on IM is super cool! But in person....he's not half as cool and witty...this leads to many questions. *strokes imaginary beard*

To date: I have crushes on three people....all of which are completely illogical and improbable. Some things may never change!lol.

now..its bed time, but I leave you with these parting words.

"Larry will be performing the traditional Argentinian ballad, 'The Dance of the Cucumber' in it's original Spanish. Bob the Tomato will translate.

Larry: "Miren al pepino " Bob: "Watch the cucumber" Larry: "miren como se mueve" Bob: "see how he moves" Larry: "como un leon tras un raton" Bob: "like a lion chasing a mouse."

Larry: "Miren al pepino" Bob: "Watch the cucumber" Larry: "sus suaves movimientos" Bob: "Oh, how smooth his motion" Larry: "tal como mantequilla" Bob: "like butter"
Larry: "en un chango pelon." Bob: "on a ... bald monkey."

Larry: "Miren al pepino" Bob: "Look at the cucumber" Larry: "los vegetales" Bob: "all the vegetables" Larry: "envidian a su amigo" Bob: "envy their friend" Larry: "como el quieren bialar" Bob: "wishing to dance as he"

Larry: Pepino bailarin, pepino bailarin, pepino bailarin" Bob: "Dancing cucumber, dancing cucumber,
dancing cucumber"

Larry: "Baila, baila, ya!" Bob: "Dance, dance, yeah!"

yes, I'm fully aware that I just put a veggietales song in my lj. but that song and Cassidy's "Hotel" has been going thru my head for the past two days! its driving me nuts! And besides which...its my journal so I can put whatever I damn well want to in it!

back again

Sat, 24 Jan 2004 08:27:01 GMT

And sadly, i'm back again. I thought I had left the world of lj behind me forever, but somehow I've managed to end up here again. Oh well, it'll help me keep track of all the stuff i do. So let's see, where to start? Um...fuck all that catching up shit. I'll just start with today.

It snowed. I'm starting to hate the snow. Its giving me, and more importantly my car, a lot of difficulties. Although i will say this...it may be cold, it may cause accidents, and it may make my shoes and socks wet...but its damn pretty. In the words of brynne as we were walking to the show tonight "its so magical. It almost doesn't look real. Its like god is just doing craft projects and sprinkling glitter everywhere!". lol. beautiful, we did have fun playin' in the snow for a bit, so I can't complain too much.

Finally took care of all the random shit i had to do today, but i still forgot to buy a new lock for my locker in the dark room. Oh well, i'll do that tomorrow. I decided to go to the show tonight in EQ. Phoe was supposed to pick brynne and I up, but she got a little tied up at happy hour...lol...*chuckles to herself and shakes her head*. So we had to walk there. It was actually a fun walk (see above paragraph). Got to the show. It was fuckin' awesome. Long Hairz Collective. Very good stuff. Cool mix of hip-hop, poetry, acoustic social awareness stuff. Long as hell, but very cool. It put me in a very chill mood for the rest of the night. Then we were all hungry so we decided to go for breakfast. I ate sooo much. Not good, seeing as how i'm trying to be good about what i eat and not snack and stuff...meh, it was good. So i really don't care. Then I came back to my room, cause i was soo tired. But by the time i got back and took off all my wet clothes, i was wide awake. So i organized.

My room was a mess, so I picked up all my clothes and shit that were lying around. Cleared off my desk, made a list of all the hw i have to do, balanced my check book, and finished hanging up some new pictures. I love it when my room is all clean and organized. I sleep so much better. For real. I just love it! I think i'm starting to develope OCD. And now i'm here. So that's it.

I will say one thing. I loved hanging with carla and brynne tonight. The convo while we ate was spectacular. Not only was it full of catching up on each other's lives, but it was comforting to know that neither one of them have any idea for who to take as dates for founder's ball yet. I'm determined to have a date by the 28th of Feb! lol. It was a random date that Erika and I picked while drunk of our asses on Tuesday at the Beta house (FUN times there!).But anywho, the point is that, I'm starting to really appreciate random bonding with my friends. Like last sunday a bunch of my sisters all ended up at Phoe's place and stayed there talking and being silly till 5AM. That was great! I know that's something I'll always remember. Okay now i'm sick of writing in this, so i'm gonna go to bed.

But before I go, random quotes from tonights performance by the Long Hairz Collective:

"She is the punctuation at the end of an exclamatory sentence."
"don't postpone joy"
"Michigan, where the lakes are great and you can hydrate....*more words that i can't remember*....and its in the shape of a mitten!"

ps-I think i'm gonna get a roommate :(. I like living by myself...i don't want one!! *throws a temper tantrum*

another attempt

lalalala...*spins around in chair*. I'm at work right now and bored out of my mind. The one book that I have to read in, I left in my car this morning, so now i've run out of productive things to do. tee hee! they have snood on the computer at work!! I have to resist it! lol...ahhh it brings back so many memories of high school. ahhh...how i wish i could skip class again and sit in the yearbook room playing snood. *sniff* those were the good ol' days. What the hell..no they weren't! College is ten times better.

hum, so let's see. What can i babble about here? Summer was pretty cool. Lots of partyin', lots of workin', lots of fun people. Good overall. I hope to go away next summer. Possibly an internship? hum....i like the sound of that. Classes are pretty cool so far. Ahhhh..i was definitely meant to be a film major. I LOVE my film classes. Especially my production class. We each get to direct our own TV commercial and interview segment. And then we get to do a digital short video and then our final project is a film. How sweet is that! and we all get to rotate so every week i'll be something new...like the director, or the talent, or the camera opp, or the floor manager. ahh...such coolness! I dropped my art history class today. I just couldn't take it, it was boring and extrememly ugly. I won't say which kind of art it was, cause i don't want to offend anyone. But now i'm looking for another class to take. Perhaps something easy? race and ethnicity or stats? i dunno. I'll find something.

Okay, enough about classes. On to fun stuff. Parties have been awesome!!Beta party fun as always, went to a Phi Psi party the first weekend....very cool...and i met a cool guy there...too bad i can't remember his name...but the point is that he invited me to this house where he tailgates at before all the games...so i might hit that up this weekend before the game. Chilled with Paul at his new place...fun times there!

LOL, Mario just came into the office. He showed me his Michigan Squirrel's shirt. lol, how random is that. I suppose they have a club for everything here! It makes me want to start a random ass club. Hum...any suggestions? Alrighty, back to being productive, I guess I'll read ahead in my coursepack.

oh! has anyone ever seen the movie Sunset Boulevard? Is it not the randomest movie ever! Gotta luv that 1950's film-noir classics! tee hee...i'm finally gonna watch the Lord of the Rings Two Towers movie this weekend! yay! so excited!!:)

Okay I just had to put this in here...i was laughing too hard when i was retelling this to paul.

here it goes:
Okay so i'm at work right now and its very boring cause my boss is away on a business trip and the phone rings.
Me: Good afternoon, Spin Physics.
Guy: oh wait...this isn't the physics department
Me: its the spin physics dept...we're part of the physics dept tho
Guy: well..i need the real physics dept
Me: well we're just the spin part
Guy: is that allowed?
Me:....yes
Guy: well what number is this?
Me: tells number...is that what u dialed sir?
Guy: i'm not sure, i just picked up the phone and it started
ringing
Me: well i don't have the physic's dept number
Guy: well do u know the english dept
Me: No sir I don't

Then he just hung up! Lol..i was laughing so hard. There really are just too many stupid people in this world! And the sad thing is that he was calling from a university number...really makes me wonder about some of the people at UofM.

Okay, i gotta get back to work now...i really am gonna try to update this thing more often. toodles all! and thanks to everyone who called me (or emailed..thanks kate...you're so GREAT) on my bday. *hugs and kisses* to you all!! :)

Wow!! what a day! So many news cameras and people. Harlyn gave a speech..GO HARLYN!! he rocks my socks. Saw Joseph and Ricky out in the diag celebrating. Wow...dude...i'm gonna be telling my grandchildren about this. So much going on, so much happiness and dissappointment. wow. i just love being right in the middle of all the commtion.

And i'mnot about to go on a diatribe about my views on Affirmative Action. So if you're super curious..just ask me. But i will post this quote. I think its the smartest thing that i've heard regarding this whole A.A. debate!

"The question is no longer whether affirmative action is legal; it is how to hasten the day when affirmative action is no longer needed.”
--Jeffrey Lehman, outgoing Dean of UofM law school.

He is the man!!!!!!

PS-it is exactly one week till my bday! *smiles*

hehe...got this from paul. WOO HOO go X-Men! I need super powers!!!

You are Jean Grey!

Beautiful and smart, you are still just beginning
to fulfill your potential. You have a strong
sense of right and wrong, but are open to
discussion and changes of opinion.
Unfortunately, when it comes to love you are
often torn between two options, and can never
seem to make up your mind.

Which X-Men character are you most like?

okay, for real this time

Alrighty, so...i haven't really updated this in a while and i've been meaning to. But since i don't have the patience to write down everything that's happened, i'm just gonna start from today. Let's see...

I'm at work right now. Bored out of my mind as usual. The kid with the funny eyebrowns isn't here :(. It's alison's last day. After today i'll have the office all to myself (well me and cool ol' professors and students that speak russian really fast and the guy with the eyebrows...but needless to say...i'll be the only girl). I got her a card with a cat on it. I know she likes cats, but I showed it to paul today and i was telling him how she had to put her cat to sleep....Paul made the point that a cat card wasn't the best choice. Now that i think about it, i have to agree. My bad. I feel bad now.

Anywho, let's see. I ran around ann arbor with paul this morning. We went to the secretary of state's office (which was packed as usual). I was trying to measure how tall i was by the sticker by the door that they use for criminals. I think i've grown 3/4 of an inch! :) But after sitting by a guy with terrible BO, and waiting in line, we had to leave 'cause paul didn't have his social security card. lol. His bus driver dreams shall have to wait till next week! Then we went to michael's where i looked for ribbon for my scrap book...my bad photo album. Got some good feedback from paul. I'll see how the finished product turns out. Then we ate. Overall, a very nice morning with Paul. Good quality friend time :) even tho he did a)tell me not to smile, b) that i was a natzi, and c)that he was gonna be a "bunny". lol...fun times.

I think i'm gonna go to paul's for a bit tonight and chill. Then some girl is giving a party that a few of my sisters are going to and sera and the ltphi boys. I think i might drop by there too. we'll see.

Alrighty,so i'm at work right now. And i'm bored. But that's a great thing! Because i never have a moment to myself anymore. But yeah, i really do miss everyone. I know i haven't been online(for reasons i can't get into right now). And i know i haven't been around on the weekends(sorry paul, ireally do miss hanging out with you and being crazy!), but even tho i'm missing out on stuff and i'm super busy cause of "stuff stuff" as paul likes to call it. I"m happy. Cause i'm doing something that i REALLY wanna do. And not to mention, i've made tons of new friends. Which prevents me from dwelling on the past. So yay! But yeah, in a few weeks I'll be able to return to a normal life again (hopefully!*crosses fingers*) and i'll be able to hang with everyone again! yay! i miss ya all!

Lots and lots of luv to everyone who reads this!!

:)

How evil are you?

well boo that! I know i'm more evil than that! I demand to take the test over again!

Hum, so....life has been crazy busy lately. And my summer plans are totally fucked now. So i have no clue what i'm gonna do. Meh, i'll think about that later. Randomest thing happened today...

I'm in art history lecture and randomly it breaks! I was like wtf?!!? that's not supposed to happen, even tho it was in front. So i'm sitting there in class, trying to fix it. I'm falling out all over the place and things aren't tucked and i start sagging. So its impossible to do this discreetly. So i had to walk around all day and at work free as a bird! it felt so weird!

If you don't know what i'm talking about...perhaps thats a good thing. And if u do...has it ever happened to you!??! and how can i fix it!

gah! and then i almost killed myself with scissors...thank god for coorigated cardboard...it saved my life today! Okay, i have to run. But i think that overall its been an eventful day.

Thu, 30 Jan 2003 08:54:21 GMT

oh my...life...well...has been crazy lately. Its currently around four in the morning and i'm past the sleepy point so i'm seriously considering pulling an all nighter(even tho i don't have to). So even tho i had tons of stuff to do tonight. I had two awesome convos with people on IM. Both of which left me a lot happier. Especially since i was really bitter about all the work i had to do. So yeah. I just thought i'd post these two away messages that i had up today, cause i think they capture my mood quiet nicely. I suppose i should update this thing for real at some point...perhaps sometime soon i'll get around to doing that. But for now...this will have to do.

Current Mood(away messages):

#1)"GAHH!!! I hate stupid people"

#2)"remember....there is no spoon.

but there is a WHOLE bunch of facist bullshit in this article that i'm readin'!!!!>:o"

Current Music: I see you baby, Shakin' that ASS!...that's just for you Rich!

Mon, 06 Jan 2003 04:37:19 GMT

gah...what the fuck happened????? This day started off so good! But ever since i've been back at school...things have turned bad. I think i'm just gonna go to bed so no more bad things can happen.
