5:42 pm - I'm still ALIVE, kind of
|
Hey, guess what...I'M NOT DEAD (against popular belief) close to it, but not quite...I'm sick of school already, but that's normal. Oh, and I'm considering changing my major...I'm gonna give it one more semester, but as of right now...I need to get out of Accounting...
Life is weird on Laird Campus. I have never felt so loved, and yet so alone, as I have here. I have made some AMAZING friends, but I fell like I'm almost lossing some of my old ones, because I never crawl down to main campus...
The residents are decent...mostly...haha jk jk... I <3 them. No real interesting specimens in the man department tho...
I guess that'll happen eventually.
Wow...I have so much to say, but I'm not sure how I can say it...
I guess I'll talk to you guys individually...
See ya soon...
I hope
current mood:  Life changes fast...
current music: some online christian musica

You Are Austin
|
A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.
You're totally weird and very proud of it.
Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way.
Famous Austin residents: Lance Armstrong, Sandra Bullock, Andy Roddick

I TOTALLY agree! So, I've officially lost my wallet, I really need to learn not to loose stuff like that...you know the important stuff. Lynn if you find it, can you get it back to me some way (it may have fallen out in your car)...But life's good, I'm a little apprehensive, cuz I'm gonna be jumping into a whole pile of confrentation (prayers would be appreciated)...but more on that later (tho lynn and steph may have an idea of what's going on)...just back from church, Vision soon...Ohhh...I went to this MSA (muslim student association) lecture about patience and humility and stuff. It was REALLY interesting. And the women there (and men too i suppose, but i didn't get to meet them) were really cool, and they didn't loose their temper with my unending questions. Well, that was the high and low point in my week, i'll talk to you all later :)

"SASSY19JKS (6:25:21 PM): lol, I just read the name "Nathalie" as "Nathan"...I'm a sick sick person."
"SASSY19JKS (6:23:47 PM): I don't know what else I should do tonight...I guess I could do math work, but I don't feel like starting my English paper
DaniDani87 (6:24:25 PM): lol
DaniDani87 (6:24:30 PM): says the english major
SASSY19JKS (6:24:59 PM): Just because I'm an English major doesn't mean I'm not lazy!"

You Are Marge Simpson
|
You're a devoted family member who loves unconditionally.
Sometimes, though, you dream about living a wild secret life!
You will be remembered for: your good cooking and evading the police
Your life philosophy: "You should listen to your heart, and not the voices in your head."

Woo! secret wild life?...and I think you should listen to your heart AND the voices in your head (sometimes they make some really good jokes)

Jackie & Sammi,
I promised to get this to you earlier, but here's my latest writing...
"“are you kidding?
“NOOOOOO….” Her voice vibrated between a squeal and a shreek. Maria almost had to close her eyes and grit her teeth to stop her hands from covering her ears. “I have to go to BOTH classes. And they don’t even give me extra CREDITS!” at the last word, Maria had to wince.
“You mean you have to go to TWO classes of Statistics? I have a lab like that, but it’s only right before a test? Are you sure you don’t just have it right before a test?”
“well, maybe, but I think it may be mandatory…” Maria looked over at the girl, who she thought, was in her stat class. Unfortunately the girl was a stereotype. The blond hair, maybe five-six, brown or hazel eyes. To maria’s astonishment, the girl’s mouth turned into an upside down smile…you really couldn’t call it a frown.
“now THAT’s what you call too dumb to breathe,” Maria thought as she shook her head in disgust. “the girl gives others like her a bad name. I have to go to BOTH classes” she muttered imitating the girl.
“MEAN!” Alex said as she plopped her tray down across from where Maria was sulking. “What has she ever done to you? Huh?”
“Well,” Maria said, “she lives.” Sticking her tongue out quickly at Alex’s raised eyebrows, she said, “I’m just kidding. It’s just that people like her…well, they annoy me.” Going back to imitating the girl, “I mean…like….come on…don’t you find this squeaky voice irritating? Ah huh?” she ended on a note that should not be heard in any company. “so what do’ya think about my new highlights? Isn’t this blush SO like, pretty? I mean com’on, really that lipstick does nothing to compliment your hips!”
“…wow…”
“what?” Maria asked
“…no…it’s just…well…” Alex scratched her head, trying to figure out how to explain this to her oblivious friend. “You seem jealous.”
“I’m NOT jealous. I just don’t understand how people can be that vapid.”

Wow! TWO postings in two days...since I haven't posted since, like November, I'm proud of myself. So, here I am...back at WONDERFUL ::cough cough:: Dickinson. I'm happy to say that I have not hurt anyone with my new equipment, aka my camera stand, though I told my roommate that if she found someone lying on the floor, and my camera stand was missing, this morning she knew what happened (not that I'd EVER actually do that!). How can it only be two weeks into the semester? huh? Be that as it may, I'm already obsessed with two new things (though one of them is a continuation, I just got more to obsess about). Ok I'll catch you up from the beginning:
(oh! and I completely blame Sammi and Jackie for this!)
So, Jackie, Sammi, Marianne and I had a movie day at Jackie's house this winter (where I found out that I liked Heathclif better than her other cats). And I brought out this AMAZING series, Strange Days at Blake Holsey (Black Hole) High. Well, Jackie pulls out this movie. And I'm looking at it, thinking 'I think I've seen this somewhere before...' Well, it turns out that I'd seen a few of the episodes from the show that it came from. But this AMAZING thing was "Serenity". Little did I know from that day forward I would be hooked. So if anyone want's to see this show, well, I have them all!
[an extra just for my friends :)
SOME QUOTES:
"Sammi: sorry, im just imagining us as "effective members of society"
Me: lol
Me: i can't see it for some reason
Sammi: i can see it, but it would be a very weird society where we worship harry potter, Nathan Fillian is president, and we are all forced to learn elvish"
[the following are completely taken out of context, and as a whole in the conversation make sense. As they are they're just funny]
"Jackie: I also hit Sammi over the head and almost kill her :-D
Me: and you almost have her being sucked out into the universe
Jackie: yep
Jackie: but she deserved it
Me: i agree wholeheartedly"
"Jackie: lol, I turned the volume way down and got close to the tv so ppl wouldn't wonder wtf I was listening to
Me: lol, i did the opposite
Jackie: you're so much cooler than me
Me: i love how that makes me cooler
Jackie: lol, "cool" is a relative term..."
"Jackie: Well, I love me some angst. In books at least.
Jackie: Not so much in real life.
Me: yeah i like being nice and peaceful in real life
"Jackie: I was trying to log onto LJ and I typed "Firefly" as my username.
Jackie: Oh dear god, my soul is LOST
Me: lol
Jackie: but...in a good way
Me: of course"
"Jackie: How else can you properly stalk them?
Me: i can't
Me: and that's healthy
Jackie: Again, healthy is a relative term"
My second obsession is obvious! Come on people, what just came out??????
(Steph, you obviously know this one!)
Roger: Who are you to tell me what I know, what to do?
Mark: A friend
Roger: But who, Mark, are you? "Mark has got his work" They say "Mark lives for his work" And "Mark's in love with his work" Mark hides in his work!
Mark: From what?
Roger: From facing your failure, facing your loneliness, Facing the fact you live a lie! Yes, you live a lie - tell you why. You're always preaching not to be numb, When that's how you thrive. You pretend to create and observe, When you really detach from feeling alive.
RENT!!!!!!!!
Yes, yes, I've been obsessing...but to be honest, I was REALLY excited when I got, it, cuz I got it at Rainbow Records last Thursday (ok, everyone, do the math, if I got it on the 16th, but it came out on the 21st, how does that work?) I was SO excited, I really think if you could OD on a musical I would have done it by now.
But I've calmed a bit, and am now using it as an amazing background noise as I do homework. It keeps my mind on my work for hours at a time.
Oh I saw the documentry, about Jonathan Larson (the writer/composer of RENT) and I seriously cried! It was horrible, he had worked his entire life leading up to this show, (seven years on the show itself I believe) and he dies the night before the first off-broadway performance. :'( I could only watch it once, I need to again, because I <3 documentries, and this one was REALLY good, and moving, which = AWESOME in my math.
Oh! and I had mentioned this documentry thing that I'm working on. I'm SO excited, because I got my first fotage yesterday, and it's SO FUNNY/perfect for what I'm doing. Basically it's a documentry about the Spiritual Life at the University of Delaware. How the spiritual groups effect that life and what misconceptions people have of these groups. (Pray for me here because I really want to finish it this semester!)
Well, that's all I really have to say, I'll talk to each of you individually, probably...
current mood:  she has paint... heehee
current music: RENT (what else were you expecting???)

Wow, it's been awhile...I'm working on a new video, about spirituality...ask me about it some time...but I found this, and I felt the need to post it :)
One Flaw In Women
By the time the Lord made woman,
He was into his sixth day of working overtime..
An angel appeared and said,
"Why are you spending so much time on this one?"
And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic,
have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable
and able to run on diet coke and leftovers,
have a lap that can hold four children at one time,
have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart
-and she will do everything
with only two hands."
The angel was astounded at the requirements.
"Only two hands!? No way!
And that's just on the standard model?
That's too much work for one day.
Wait until tomorrow to finish."
But I won't," the Lord protested.
"I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart.
She already heals herself when she is sick
AND can work 18 hour days."
The angel moved closer and touched the woman.
"But you have made her so soft, Lord."
"She is soft," the Lord agreed,
"but I have also made her tough.
You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."
"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel.
The Lord replied,
"Not only will she be able to think,
she will be able to reason and negotiate."
The angel then noticed something,
and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek.
"Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model.
I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one."
"That's not a leak,"
the Lord corrected,
"that's a tear!"
"What's the tear for?" the angel asked.
The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy,
her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love,
her loneliness, her grief and her pride."
The angel was impressed.
"You are a genius, Lord.
You thought of everything!
Woman is truly amazing."
And she is!
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness,
love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
PLEASE pass this along to all your women friends and relatives
to remind them just how amazing they are.
current mood:  AMAZING NIGHT!!!!!

Wow...it's been a while...I wrote this and just wanted to hand it over to you guys...take it as you will...
You Can Never Go Home Again
“You can never go home again”. She’d heard this statement as a child from the hit movie “Now & Then”. At the time this statement was preposterous. Of course you could go home again. Home is where memories lie and memories always had a funny way of sprouting up so much so that you can follow them home. And whenever friends reunite everything is as it was, as if those years, days, hours never happened.
Walking through the empty hallway, she remembered all of the plays she’d been apart of. All through high school, she had struggled to make friends (a very shy person, in large groups). But she lit up whenever she was around the theater, or did anything that was associated with drama. Though she loved being onstage, and loved acting, the director seemed to think she was not as good as other students. This didn’t bother her. Not having a major part allowed her the time to meet people she would have never known, and gave her the ability to learn all the different aspects of theatre (not simply the acting element).
Of all the places she could have gone and found “home”, she was certain it was that theater. There she’d met her complicated “family” (which was formed senior year). She remembered her first ever show, freshman year. She’d been so excited being cast as “Nurse 1” in the fall play. Then the musical, where she’d been denied any acting part, but still participated, running spotlight with Ann. Then to finish off her first year, she’d been director of the annual One Act Competition (let’s just say, she was stressed for two months straight).
But through the four years, if she had a problem she could come to practice and everything seemed right with the world. Even senior year, when she’d been heart-broken at getting a dismal part in the fall play, the girl felt empty after quitting. And finally aided in building the set instead. The “Sisterhood” had even formed on that very stage… (Not as disgusting as it sounds). Where the girl, Ann, Rose, and Marie had become Carmen, Bridgett, Tibby, and Lena (respectively).
As Ann would have said, her week had been “shitty”. Four exams left her drained by Wednesday. She had even found out that one of her best friends, Rose/Tibby, had decided to run off, not telling anyone where she’d gone. There were times that week when she felt nothing else could get worse.
Her friend’s disappearance took what was left of her energy. She found herself crying at random times, because she was scared Rose would not come home at all. At night she was reminded of her aunt and cousin, both of whom had made a habit of running. By Saturday, Rose had been found, but the girl knew their friendship would never be the same.
When Saturday came, only two good things had really come out of the week. The first of which was that she’d been granted a solo she’d fallen in love with. The second was she’d been given the opportunity to get to know a guy in college.
But all-in-all it was a crappy week. She just prayed that she MIGHT be granted a little bit of time to spend with friends she hadn’t seen since graduation last spring. And to return to the place that kept her heart, she was excited. Beneath the floorboards, which she had walked across thousands of times. Within the wall, with which she and Ann tried to move freshman year, to relieve stress. Within the sets, props, and costumes, all of which, at one time, she had helped make, or had helped her create the illusion of the show.
That’s what it is. She realized, after congratulating people she’d known for years (but didn’t seem to know her anymore), an illusion. All of this is fake. We go through life dependent on finding a place we call home. And while we’re there it seems like home. But years pass or weeks or days or yes, even hours. And we all change. But we need to change. There’s not always a reason that we can see in the present, but looking back, everything that happens occurs for a reason.
With a sign, she took one last look around the empty hallway. At the small lockers, this at one time seemed huge. At the bulletin board, this now showed all the teachers for that year, all the previous years, it had been saved for the art club displays. She heard the excited talk of the actors and their loved ones. And all of this she savored, because she knew, it was over for her. She needed a new home. Maybe eventually she would be able to place her home within someone she loved and would always love her back. Someone whom would not break her heart, because she would come to him and he would still be her home. That time would come, she hoped. But for now, her home had no place to lie. Because High School was over and Life had yet to begin.

8:33 am - YAY! COLLEGE!
|
Goodbye high school...HELLO COLLEGE! I'm here, and have been here for five days now. My roommate Sam is AWESOME, she kinda reminds me of all my friends I've ever had, wrapped into one and given a new face. It's weird being here with SO MANY people. I keep seeing Brandywine people, and it's sometimes good, sometimes not good. I <3 my schedule, NO CLASSES BEFORE 10! YES!!!!!!!
Lynn and Danielle visited yesterday, and I was awarded the "Best Dorm Room" for cheeriness! yay! Danielle's going to Israel for nine months, "Have fun Danielle!" and Lynn's abandoning the US for Canada.
As I said before, I've been here for five days, and I don't think I'm really taking in the college experience. Not once have I: (a)got drunk (b)got high (c)gone to a "real" college party. And to this I say, "Yay Me!"
It's like 8:40 now and I've been up for nearly two hours, I realize now how my getting up early for the last four or five years has affected me, because I can't seem to sleep past seven. Ok, I'm gonna continue to get ready to leave, remember guys STAY IN TOUCH!

Ok, well, I've settled in, and I'm finally making some friends. I find that I really like college life, bootcamp though this may be. I'm happy to have met the people I have.
Courses...they're ok, I haven't been able to say awake in Calc. (jk) They're classes, a little harder then I originally thought, but not too bad.
Free Time... I remember that! they even told us we had some here... we really do, but it's limited. and i try and finish off some of my homework during free time, or catch up on sleep.
Guys... >:) ::evil little smile:: it reminds me of BHS...But there is a handsom RA (but there's a hands off policy...:(...)
RAs... I already commented on one of them...but they are all really nice.
Not much more has happened...
OH!
Steph....
(and any other Latin Lover)...
there are several Cubans and/or Puerto Ricans here (there are seven or more of us, half being guys)...
Hope to see you all soon!

Ok, I moved in Saturday...It was A LOT easier then SC...I didn't have quite as much stuff...My roommate is cool, we seem to get along...I'll update more on that later...
I've decided I don't socialize well...I have met a few ppl here, mostly because of the RA's "scheduled fun" and I met a few new ppl today during dinner...
I'll let you know more at a later date...
Oh, and Sisterhood/Family...I MISS YOU ALL!!!!!!!

But daring? Not usually?
You tend to like to make calculated risks.
So while you may not be base jumping any time soon...
You are up for whatever's new and (a little) exciting! |
Ok, so I'm trying to get better from whatever it is that has gotten ahold of me (sickness :'( )

8:23 pm - Finally Finished....
|
Wouldn't it be wonderful to find that your best male friend was madly in love with you and you found that you felt the same way? That would be awesome...So I found a new book series [and I completely blame Samantha and Lynn]. It's the cutest series. I loved that I understood the characters and at times related to them (I love it when that happens). My only dislike is that I read the books too quickly [I finished the three books in three and a half days]. Oh well, nothing I can do about it now...they're already done.
I was thinking about graduation. It's beginning to scare me, UD is sending out it's letters out later this month, I think. I know that I went to S.C. this summer, but I don't know how I'm gonna handle college next year... There's the leaving home thing, and then the "never gonna see half these people ever again" idea that's freaking me out [here is a not-so-secretly-guarded secret: I Don't make friends well. I'm not a very outgoing/social person]...but as I am constantly reminded, things change, times change, and you have to change with them.
Oh, Cinderella next week, March 17, 18, and 19. Everyone should come see it.
current mood:  next year

You Are 40% Left Brained, 60% Right Brained |
The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.
Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others.
If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic.
Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.
The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility.
Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.
If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art.
Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

I am worth $1,846,164.00 on HumanForSale.com
Hey! Well, I tried a new experiment today...It was interesting...When I asked ppl if they wanted to take a quiz, they said yes.
Well, there's only one question to this quiz, "What color [or colour if you're canadian] underwear are you wearing?" (and no I didn't make up this quiz). Surprisingly, 100% of the people asked, actually told me the color of their underwear. Thank you, Eric, Pete, Marianne, Lauren, and Sammy!
Oh, and we had an interesting snow day today. We actually got a HALF DAY! [which NEVER happens]. Hopefully, I will not see anyone tomorrow at school, but I'll tty'all later!
