YEAH THURSDAY@!!!!

Ok, here's what I did today:
I woke up at 9 AM (gasp!) to the song that was going through in my head. It was at the end of a dream in which Santa had come, and there was a singing concert by old schoolmates (highschool and college alike), and then for some reason, a guy was using cookie cutters to "make mangy mangs out of mangled cat mangs." And that quoted part was the song. I blame the mangy mango.

Then I got dressed and stuff, and went downstairs and watched Barney. We learned how to tell the difference between "in" and "out," and about how catepillars go into a chrysalis before they become butterflies.

Then I played some tetris and while I was doing that, Carolyn came!

We went to Buena because that's the type of thing we like to do over summer break, and because I had to return Zack's Go book to him that I had taken out of the Go Club last time we were there. And we tried to go to Mrs. Lyans, but she wasn't there, and then we found her, and we looked at the Pawprint (WOW what an emo, poetry-filled school I went to), and then we helped her carry stuff to her car, and then we went to the office and sent a call slip to Zack to come and get his book. We hope you got it, man.

Then we went to my house, and then we went to Lowe's. There got dowels for costume staffs (staves?), and rope for weaving sandals. We tried to find the round things because last time we saw them next to my little hat, but we couldn't find either this time.

Then we tried to go to Arby's, but it was too dangerous.

So we went to Michael's, and bought a round thing. I don't want to work there anymore, because getting up at 9 was hard enough, and I'd have to get up at 4 to work there.

Then we went down to Carl's Jr. and got the long-named burger that we saw on the tv last night. It was pretty good. Has ranch on it. The fries there are very small.

Then we spent a while in Toys R Us making fun of the toys. When we were playing with the doll house, some lady watched us and then asked if it was for Barbies. We didn't know. Then we found the electronic pogos, and Carolyn's insides started not to work. So we left.

Then we went across the street to her parent's shop. We had to go around to the food court of the plaza and order a bunch of food for a thing that Carolyn doesn't know the word for in English.

Then we went to the library across from Foothill and picked up Steven. He wanted to go to the Salvation Army to look for camo, so we went there for a minute. Then we went back to Buena to pick up Sam.

Then we ended up at Ralph's because we needed to buy pound cake. Sam walked home from there, and we listened to Linkin Park in the car while Steven ran in to get it.

Now we're at her house, and I explored the new clue for the Lost Experience from yesterday, and we're listening to Steven play Soul Caliber, and soon we're going to make shoes for our Bleach costumes.

That's all.

Happy Thursday

Yazoo!

Happy Thursday!

I have been home now...for a week? Forever? I can't even tell anymore.

It's been good, full of cooking, and watching tv, and playing tetris, and going to schools that I don't need to go to, and hanging out with cool people.

Today, y'know, I was sleeping, then checking out the usual online stuff, and then I went downstairs and watched Star Trek: TNG and made Jello. I put fruit in it! Hooray for mangy mangy mango!

And has anyone else noticed the increasing quality of commercials these days? They're so funny! Or just creeper/weird. The Geico ones are pretty good, and if you get the chance, check out the Red Stripe beer commercials. Probably the funniest ones I've seen in my life.

Oh, random, but can anyone take a look at the code of this page and figure out what's wrong with it? In the sample pages, the profile bar is adjacent to the bloginess, but as you can see, that's not the way it works in practice. Like in the old layout, it was down at the bottom. What's up with that? The template isn't written in a way where I can easily read and understand what's wrong. So. View Source, somebody!

"Of all the genetically-compatible women, I don't know why I've fallen in love with you." -courtesy of the guy on the tv just now. I think that that's a very deep statement. Star Trek is a deep show. And now it's time for Kim Possible!

What, don't call me a tv junkie. I'm clearly an internet junkie.

Oh, and happy birthday, Jacqi~! Thursday Birthday all around! Good luck with the rest of your school eheheheheh !

Hmm, and now I'm hungry! I think that's a problem that should get all fixed. so. Happy Thursday and adventures!

It's Summer, Man!!!

Happy End Of School Thursday! I definitely am wearing my snazzy tie today! Because I finished my last final at 2:15 yesterday!! *dances*

Ok, but you know what was NOT cool? Tuesday night. For some reason I was already up late, just going to bed at around 1. But it takes me a long time to fall asleep, and what didn't help was somebody drumming nearby. Like, on drums. Brianna supposed it was a "silent drum kit" that they didn't realize was anything but silent. And when she got our RA to go down there at 2 in the morning, we found out that she was right. "It's for our final today" they said. Yeah, well, practice your drumming before the morning you need it, ok?

So, I haven't been asleep for even an hour, when at 3 am somebody pulls the fire alarm.

Yes. The fire alarm.

Because that's the cool thing to do at 3 in the morning in Trinity on finals week.

So we all tramp out of the building into rain-like fog, and stand around for twenty minutes while they make sure there isn't anybody trapped in the fire. ><

Because there is no fire, just somebody who needs to be killed by a ninja very soon.

I wouldn't have minded so much if it had been like last night or this night, when I don't have finals. But I actually needed to sleep that day because I had two, with the first one starting at 9:15.

And then all today people have been driving through the alley behind my room with REALLY loud music blaring from their trucks and such. Gosh, college students. So full of themselves.

I've sorta started packing, but I seem to have more stuff than I thought I did. All my clean clothes from the closet fill up the big suitcase that I have here, and that's not counting anything from the drawers. And some people have already packed up and moved out. It's pretty weird, that we're like all sophomores now. Except Brianna, she's in her last final now. But I think she's leaving tomorrow.

Tonight we're (a lot of us) going to Aubrey's sister's school play. They're doing Beauty and the Beast, and I've got to drop by the caf before we go, so I don't have to try to cram my last two meals in tomorrow. 'Cause I don't want to have to wake up for lunch.

Yeah, summer's sounding very good.

So Happy Thursday, and I hope your Cinco de Mayo and the last month or so of your schooling goes shimmeringly!
