: Alumni Pep Band Night! Yippee!!
To my fellow former band geek buddies- The annual SHS alumni Pep Band Game is December 19th! Be there, or be square!! And no, it doesn't matter if you haven't touched your instrument since high school. I, personally, haven't touched A clarinet since my junior year of high school, but hey, it's like riding a bicycle, right? Current Mood:

: KALEN - chicken in need
From: Linda Shelby [mailto:lshelby@fiscalfit.com] Sent: Friday, October 06, 2006 5:20 PM To: 'Kaye S. Counce' Subject: Urban Chicken needs a home Hi Kaye, Months ago a neighbor of mine got 3 chickens. 2 have met an unfortunate fate, leaving just 1. In addition, the nostalgia has worn off so my neighbor no longer takes care of the remaining chicken. :( "Marshmallow" roams the sidewalk looking for food. Sadly, some neighborhood cats are looking to her AS food. Could you put this out to the network to see if anyone would like to give Marshmallow a better life, perhaps on a farm? Thanks Kaye!

"Crunchy Peanut Butter Quiche" 3 eggs 1 cup milk 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 cup JIF extra crunchy peanut butter 1 pie crust (9 inch), baked adn cooled completely 4 slices cooked bacon, drained and crumbled 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Combine eggs, milk, and nutmeg in mixer bowl. Attach bowl and wire whip to mixer. Turn to speed 2 and whip 30 seconds. Add JIF extra crunchy peanut butter. Turn to sped 4 and mix until well combined, about 1 minute. Sprinkle bacon evenly in bottom of pie crust. Pour egg mixture over bacon and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 for 25-35 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Yield: 8 servings I wonder if anyone has ever eaten this... Current Music: the dishwasher

: Restless tonight
I just finished watching Closer for the first time, and it was wonderful. However, now I can't sleep. I've been in an introspective mood that past couple of days and have been having thoughts that are not particularly helpful to my situation. Sometimes I feel like I maybe "settled down" too early in life, but I know that's really not the case. I just like making drama up for myself and need to stop. These thoughts pass through my mind every six months or so, and I'm always sorry I had them later. Last time they caused me to reconnect (do not read too much into this) with a certain prominent ex. I hope I'm able to have enough self-control to not do anything that drastic this time. I think I just love the beginning of romantic relationships, but one can't always have beginnings. I'm generally quite happy with being "an old, married couple", but lately I've been longing for that *new* feeling, especially when I'm around a certain person. But this too will pass. BTW, in my restless mode, I have uploaded lots of pictures onto facebook and taken nearly a dozen myspace surveys. Current Mood:

: I thought this is excessively funny.
Aries (March 21- APRIL19) LIVES for head massages. ANY part of their head: Lips, Eyelids, Eyes, Tongue, you name it! Aries also likes to fuck in public places during business hours. You need to be open minded with an Aries...If you don't feel like being duct taped to a wall and beaten with live ferrets: Tell Them. Be warned! IF you don't want to be kinky, don't be with an Aries. If you say 'No' too often to them you may lose them as a lover forever. Aries Idea of Heaven Is: Participating in live sex shows for money. Having their favorite human toy win first place in a pony boy/girl race. Fucking as an art form on display in a gallery. They secretly crave to be strippers or Annie Sprinkle. Aries LIVES to be jealous...they also like to coordinate other people fucking. Secretly desire to be fluffers. Aries owned a Violet Wand before it was popular. They are also Sadists. The best gift to give an Aries is designer colored nylon rope in their favorite color. They live to tease and torture...HEY...Somebody's gotta do it, right? They like hair pulling. Beware of their 'toy' collections. Don't tease them...they will rape you. They love pony boys and girls...I cannot emphasize this enough! They like it doggie style especially if they are steering. Give an Aries 100 feet of rope and a 250 dollar flogger, they will follow. As long as they get to be the one holding the handle. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) --Don't tease them. It will only piss them off. Taureans are realists. If you say that you are horny: Prepare to be fucked. Taureans are heavy indulgers, though. All forms of indulgence: Sex-drugs-wine-food...whatever their vice may be: they simply cannot get enough. They do not believe in moderation. They will fuck until they are sore. Taurus likes to have sex just for the sake of having sex. What they lack in originality, they make up for in stamina and endurance. Okay...so they may not be into bondage, okay? But they WILL lick you until you have at least three orgasms or until you pass out...whichever comes first. Taurus uses their tongue for everything...and I mean that. They love to lick people in whipped cream, alcohol, chocolate, flesh and candy??? Bring it on! Caution: They are looking for a relationship so be kind to them. They also have a BIG wet thing for scent. Sometimes they don't want a lover to bathe before sex. Or you may find them shaggin in a garden or a greenhouse...to smell the dirt: After all, they are Earth signs. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) -- Ever heard the saying "Been there. Done that?" chances are it came from a Gemini. They are always changing...they are the eternal Chameleon. You never who you are fucking that day. They have had sex. A lot of sex. Probably because they are in a constant state of flux...always looking for the new high. The biggest turn on for a Gemini is: LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. Here is just a smattering of places that I know Geminis have fucked: In the elevator of the moseleum of Forest Lawn Cemetery DURING A FUNERAL. Wine cellars in nightclubs. Vip Areas of Theatres. Public Parks. The 18th Hole of a private golf course. In the center of a race track just as the flag was going up. On various Gym equipment at numerous health spas. A football stadium during the Super Bowl. A Balcony railing at Mardis Gras in the French Quarter...just to name a few. If it's shiny...they will want it. They are big on DRAMA so be prepared for them to set the mood for sex no matter WHERE you might end up. They WILL take the initiative. They live off their charm. If they are male and gay they will still be the greatest fuck your female friend has ever had. Go figure. They are also Voyeurs but always willing to lend a hand ... or any other part of anatomy. If they are depressed, suck on their fingers, that always seems to cheer them up. Their goal is to fuck in the front row of the OSCARS when the cameras pans on them so that they can wave. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) -- 69 This is the sign that needs to be cuddled. They may believe that they were born in the wrong period or century. They DWELL in the past...Victorian...Roman...Medieval...Yo They usually will only fuck at night...come to think of it...they fuck better at night anyway. Maybe its because they are ruled by the Moon. This is a sign that is looking for TRUE love...I mean REAL TRUE DEEP LOVE...that 'Romancing The Stone' Frikkin 'Wuthering Heights' kind of love. They probably cry at the end of any Jane Austen flick. They want to be swept off of their feet. They really do deserve it, too. They are constantly dumped on by previous past fucktard ex lovers that think they own them. Sometimes Cancers pick the wrong guy/girl and get beat up or emotionally hurt. Why? They think its what they deserve, which is bullshit. They are wonderful people. They love water sports (jacuzzis/pools/showers/saunas/bathouses. haha... it's all true !! lol Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22)-- If we could put our pussy cat naked and jeweled in rubies on a dias in a museum...this would be their idea of heaven. Everyone admiring them: Hell, yeah! "WORSHIP ME." is their motto. If you fuck up just once with a Leo...That's IT. Don't be expecting them to take you back. They are not willing victims, after all they CHOSE you...you screwed up? They can UN-Choose you just the same. They live for Ménage a Troas...or qua...or Cinco....anything in a group is okay as long as they are in the middle. Leos also like bubble baths. Once you start with a Leo...do not think you can just turn their emotions on or off like a switch...they demand satisfaction, NOW. All the stress in the world ends up in the Leo neck...They need neck rubs...they feel like they have the entire weight of the world on their head. If its kinky, a Leo has probably done it...You know Madonna's a LEO, right? She masters the Madonna/Whore/Goddess thing pretty well, huh? I wonder why? Could it be cause shes a fuckin' LEO? Yep. Valmont was probably a Leo. They probably have the movie at home. Get out your furry gloves and faux mink whips for this kitten, they love soft floggers and there is a specific spot on their back right above their tailbone that is heaven to them where if touched right will actually make them purr...you think I'm bullshitting you? Try it, I dare ya. Leo likes to be on top...that's a given. They need control. Their underwear is always...er...interesting to say the least. They LIVE for boudoir photography. They LOVE to be photographed. If they can afford a nude or semi nude photo of them..do it now. Leos are born and bred to be porn stars...even if they act prude about it...they have thought about it. They usually end up in vocations where they can be served like a king or queen (EX: 24/7 Domina...Mistresses...Gigolos...Bar owners...Promoters...Runway Models...) may have a fetish about decorating their genitalia...not piercings, per se...but other jeweled adornments definitely. Rubies usually are their love. I knew one LEO with solid silver Cock ring embedded with rubies. Love to have their hair brushed and played with. You had better be vocal in bed with them...they want to hear how well they are doing. If a Leo has chosen YOU as a mate, just accept it and enjoy the ride. Be prepared for anything. They have no problem tying you down. They ARE the naughty school teacher, the pirate captain, the gypsy king and Cleopatra all rolled into one. Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept. 22)-- This is the MOST confused sign on the planet. This sign is pretty realistic: No Frills. They love to fuck in showers not because it's kinky...but because of hygienic reasons...they are big into sanitary issues. Every Virgo I have ever met has issues...always going back to hygiene. They have to arrange time in their busy schedules to have sex...But when a reservation is made...You had better be there on time, if not a little early. With flowers And Clean. Virgos want to make their partner happy. That's it. USUALLY. You will always get a freaky Virgo. Even so, they will TRY to get YOU to cum. And if they can't make you cum, they will buy someone or something that will. Yes you read that right. They LIVE to masturbate...whether its you rubbing them, them rubbing you...them rubbing against your fox fur coat...whatever! Some Virgos WANT to be punished. They will do naughty things to be caught so they can be punished. They are perfect for Aries who want to punish SOMEBODY. Anybody! Pretend rape scenes also turn on Virgos. As long as they know they are secretly safe. If you have ever seen the Carnival Rape scene in 'Henry & June' this is a Virgo wet dream. Also all Virgos like to see Camel Toes...what's up with that? Sherlock Holmes was probably a Virgo...or a repressed Gemini. Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 23)-- Let the games begin! Libra will try anything once. Twice to make sure they liked it. Three times to be absolutely sure. Do not touch a Libra's head during oral sex...that may work with an Aries, but not here. Libras LOVE giving oral - They LOVE getting it too. But don't feel like they get enough...too bad, because they sure as hell are getting enough of everything else. They will buy toys to make YOU use it on THEM. Libras are mental creatures that believe in living and fulfilling fantasies that they haven't done in real life...which is rare because they have done almost EVERYTHING. They have no problem sploshing. To them, sitting in a pie COULD be fun, Porn? Bring it on! Sex, video AND food? ALRIGHT! They are heavily exhibitionistic by accident. They are accident prone, they lose bras, underwear, and condoms....they also accidentally end up in bed with people. Amazing how THAT works! They like to cross dress. Both sexes do this quite well, actually. Male Librans are mistaken for women all the time, and Female Libras are mistaken for men every now and again too...its because they are under the goddess Aphrodite. They are never just ONE sex. They can always feel what the opposite sex feels. Which is why they are rarely clingy, except in rare circumstances when they have been led on, then watch the manipulative side of the scales swing. They love to role play and play dress up. They like to dress like hookers or Queen Elizabeth (This is the men, too!) Who are they really? It depends on what day of the week it is. They believe that life is too short to date ugly people in more ways than one. So if you are being shagged by a Libra, there is a good reason. Whether you are attractive physically, emotionally, mentally or have a fantastic sense of humor, there is always a reason for a Libra to be fucking you. But they HATE vulgarity. They despise feeling like they are on a waiting list to get your attention...worse yet, feeling like they are your groupie. That won't last long, then. They have already figured out HOW to destroy you...now they are biding their time to see how long until they throw YOU away...with nothing. But, if you get past all that, expect long luxurious nights talking and playing Strip Tarot or Naked Chess. They are the Graceful Slut...but not slutty and yet accident prone. If you are going to fuck a Libra: Get mirrors, lots of them. They have more vanity issues than a Gemini. Nothing is TOO kinky for them. They are the eternal Courtesan or Concubine. They are sex therapists, porn writers who knows? Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) -- HOLEE SHIT! here comes the masters and mistresses of FUCK! Sorry Leo, but Scorps ARE the leaders in the Kink O Rama factor (Hey Lions, you are the kings and queens of everything ELSE...let it go...OMMMMMMMM) Scorpios KNOW how to seduce. They KNOW what is kinky. They are highly manipulative. They KNOW how to get you to do what THEY want. They KNOW how to fuck. And they are making room for modifications. All they have to do is walk into a room and look at you, and you WILL be on your back assuming the position. One Scorpio I knew used to shackle her lover to her dining room table and serve food around his naked body for dinner parties. She would put the Dip right between his legs and tell everyone to try some. This is just an idea of Scorpio kink. She would punish him later if things went...er...awry. Anne Rice (During her 'Beauty' phase) wants to be a Scorpio. Leos and Scorpios make for a fabulous tryst...but the emotions are staggering. Don't dare TRY to make a Scorpio jealous...they will duct tape you to a chair and make you watch them fuck your boss...or your sister/brother...or Mother...hell, that's their idea of a typical normal Thursday night. They love to use gag balls. They always have carpet burns on their knees and back...this is from their constant rutting like a wild weasel in heat. They are also very cunning and secretive. They LOVE pony girls and have a fetish for riding crops and bridles. Most Scorpios have mastered the Binaca Blowjob for heightened and elongated pleasure. I hope you can go the distance and can make them come...otherwise gods help ya. Favorite Song: Master and Servant. Most female Scorpios have a horrible tendency of being Alcohol Lesbians...get them drunk enough they will kiss a girl...or two....or three...or five....One Scorpio girl I knew got so toasty at a party once...she kissed EVERYONE in the entire house...there were at least sixty people there! All their clothes are easy access. And they can definitely get their foot over their head. One Scorpio man I knew could blow himself. A definate good time...but beware their sting! Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) -- Right out the chute I am going to tell you...THEY LOVE TO BE SHAVED. True love is being shaved. Sagittarius love is being shaved by someone they love. And they LOVE to travel. They are constantly moving. They are always packing and going somewhere. They are the outdoorsy type. Why fuck in a tent when you can be surrounded by Sequoias under a moonlit night and have sex? Sags will Fuck Everywhere! Most Sags flash body parts and are closet nudists. They will be the first to register for nude volleyball at the nudist resort. Don't get me wrong, they have a TON of provocative clothing at home, but they like to be naked. EVERYWHERE. They don't know why its against the law to drive naked in a convertable especially. It just doesn't seem right. Downright Anti-American to them. They are also bleeding heart causefighters. They believe that sex is a biological function amongst friends...why fight it when you can fuck it? A perfect night for them is to : Talk. Fuck. Talk. Fuck. Go out and look at sea otters..Pick some flowers...Talk. Fuck. Laugh. Have a drink. Talk. Fuck. Dinner. Fuck. Sleep. Fuck and Fuck some more! Male Sags have more fetishes than a female Sag. Foot fetishes...Lingerie...Female Sags are nature lovers: Do it in the bushes, Sex on the beach, in the ocean, hell behind the local laundrymat! Kinky? they Love Kinky. Wear that pirate getup for these girls, they'll be on their knees in a heartbeat. They'll dress kinky and skip the panties under a short skirt if you're going out on the town, just to get you going, and I do mean going~ these girls want it all night long! Whipped cream, body oils and bondage,Licking and sucking, whatever it takes to keep the party going! . They believe in doing it and doing it often! fucking before the movie starts..., fucking at the theatre during the previews and maybe a quick blowjob on the way home. Sag females love sexing up your whole body! Give them a chance, there won't be a body part they haven't sucked licked or fucked!You can touch them anywhere and they got hott cause they're freaky like that! They love leg rubs and jacuzzis, this is because their thighs are a hot spot...They'll be the ones holding you up fucking in the closet at your friends housewarming party at two in the morning. They are built for lot and lots of sex in any way shape or form, kinky or slow teasing, fast and hard or slow and easy~ if you want to get your freak on, Sagittarians are the way to go! None of the other signs love Sex as Much as a Sag! Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) -- Just as I was writing this one, my Capricorn friend proceeds to call me...Capricorns are psychic by accident. They have no idea the fates smile on them from time to time...they just accept it an move on. You can turn on a Cappie just by breathing on them. They are strong and responsible and have dignity. But they are too easy to turn on sometimes. And watch out when they are horny...whoever is in the room better have protection. They are natural screamers and leave bite marks. they like sex a lot as a favorite past time. Usually durinig commercial breaks is perfect. Its nothing for a Cappie to fuck seven or eight times during commercial breaks in an hour long T.V. Show. They like to do it in the shower...on the furniture...on other peoples furniture...on other peoples beds...Cars...Tents...boats....yep, if they are in the mood...it could be at the Presiden't inaugeration...get ready for some nookie! They love to bite. They might seem at first sight of them rather cold and insensitive. But when they warm up? There is no stopping them. They like to have the back of their knees licked. They live for tongue massages. They think porno is just SILLY...who thought THAT up? But they will watch it to see if they are missing anything. Give them dim lighting, a roaring fireplace and a nice bottle of wine...you might as well reconcile yourself to the fact that you better leave the phones off for the entire weekend and order food in. They like to play games...as long as they are in charge. This is a misunderstood sign...they can be very kinky. As long as it is with people they love. Aquarius (Jan. 20- Feb. 18) -- MY favorite sluts are Aquarius. Why? Because if you don't expect anything in return, you won't be disappointed. Sounds easy, huh? They will get under your skin though, so beware. It's easy to be hurt by an Aquarius because they don't want you to know what they are thinking. If they are silent but you are in the room with them...chances are they are in heavy thought. But don't worry, chances are they are thinking about you...and fifteen other things. Water bearers look at sex like it is a form of recess. They can turn you on by simply walking in the room. They are the Rain Man of the Zodiac. They give too much of themselves to others that don't give a shit...then get shy to those that care about them. Go figure. They like kinky. They are easy going. To them, it's a learning experience. Male Aquarians like to tease and live life in a fantasy world. Female Aquarians can't masturbate enough...Males never get the chance to masturbate because everybody wants a piece of them. They like their ankles nibbled. They love back massages. Their ultimate adventure is the "But we might get caught" game. They will fuck wherever they run the risk of being seen or found by another lover. Don't expect faithfulness from these creatures...it's just not in their DNA. They are open minded to the point that anything shiny will derail their train of thought. Fucking while standing or leaning is a plus here. Fuck with their mind and they will follow you anywhere. They enjoy being fucked in groups of three. Think being Jack Nicholson in bed with the three Witches of Eastwick? This is a Aquarian dream. They need you to make the first move. Not to be dominated. But to bring them back to earth now and again for a little physical funtime. They get lost in the clouds a lot. Don't derail from your personal pleasure course, however, otherwise you will be just talking to them all night. which can be stimulating just as well too. Beware! They are the flirts and teases from HELL! Never take one on a trip to a Home Depot when you are both horny. This can lead to nasty things. Pisces (Feb. 19- Mar. 20) -- Get out the boots - Stilletto heels - foot creams and panty hose...here come da fishies! They are the LEADERS in foot fetish. Masturbation in shoes? Okay. Toe masturbation...bring it on! They love using their feet. Suck on a Pisceans toes and SEE what happens! Fucking in the water and see them squirm. Pisces have probably done it in a sex swing. Or at least considered how strong the ceiling beams are on their house to put one in. Pisces men break furniture when they fuck...things get flung everywhere. Pisces can be turned on by the wierdest things...Trains...Water fountains...Jump rope...Whatever. They are the sirens calling you to the beach where you will end up on your back on a towel with water all over you and not wanting it to stop. I have heard it said that its the pisces that will cross the darker kinky side at least once...just to say "YEP. did that. Not that great" OR "What do you MEAN you never......" SAM from sex and the city should be a Pisces. These babes are perfectionists. You will have a perfect orgasm with them...so will they..in fact, they strive for perfection in everything they do...it's all in th details for them. There will not be ONE hair out of place with a Pisces. All of their fetish jewlery will match a specific whip or dress or shoes. EVERYTHING MUST MATCH! I have one Pisces friend that has nipple tassles that match for every pair of underware and whip that she owns! NO SHIT! You might think they are shy! HA! They are just planning something. I had a Pisces Friend (Same Pisces friend with the matching tassles by the way) who was at a nudist beach in Brazil (You will always find a Pisces at a beach...its inbred in them) A middle aged man in his early 50's or so came up to her and immediately saw her body and BABING! got a hard on! Not feeling shocked in any way, shape or form, she walked right up to him and put her hand on his cock for a moment , then with her same hand took her sunglasses off , looked him RIGHT in the eye and said "DAHLING, your erection is SUPERB!" and she walked off never to see him again. You never can tell what the hell a Pisces will do, but I guarantee that it will be SUPERB! SECRET: Pisces women fall for a man that can wear a high heel and garter.

: This is what I strive for... heeheehee
The Good Wife's Guide Housekeeping Monthly - May 13, 1955 Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favourite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed. Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Run a dustcloth over the tables. Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction. Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours. Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax. Your goal: To try and make sure your home is a place of peace, order, and tranquillity where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit. Don't greet him with complaints and problems. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice. Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him. A good wife always knows her place.

After months of uncertainty and worry, the wait is finally over...
I HAVE A BLOODY JOB! Well, it hopefully won't be too bloody. I think tax accounting is about the safest profession I can think of. I'm starting September 4th at $44,000, which is exactly what I was expecting. Also full benefits package which I'm not sure of yet, because I was just offered the job over the phone this morning. Benefits package details to come- to me at least. I'm not sure that anyone else cares besides Nathan. It's at the same place I had my internship and I will be doing exactly the same thing, but being paid more. I will have a horrific commute every damn day, except for short days when I can take the train. You'd think it would be easier with me living basically AT the train station, but unfortunately, the train has very few runs and they only go to Seattle. If I take the earliest train up and the latest train back, that barely allows me to be at work for 8 hours! But I do plan on getting a new car ASAP- probably slightly older Passat Wagon TDI (diesel), so Nathan can make up a biodiesel thingy. Hopefully it will be gold. It comes in a nice gold colour. Now I have to figure out how to make my last $200 stretch to September. Hmmm. I'll let you know how that one goes. Current Mood:

What's is called when you move past senioritis? It's a dark, strange place. I feel like I've been in a "zone" the past week or so. I think it's the fact that I have so many things going on and too many things to think about. I think I'm finally just comatose. I find it extraordinarily difficult to get out of bed in the morning, getting dressed sounds unappealing, and brushing my teeth or showering sounds like the most difficult thing in the world. So actually doing anything resembling homework or attending school is pretty much out of the question. On the upside, we found a recipe for the "meat" stuff they use at my favorite restaurant, the Bamboo Garden (Chinese vegan place in Seattle); it's called seitan. Nathan made some tonight after we got home from the bar and it smells just like chicken and very tasty. I'm super excited to use it. I've also finally committed to the Weight Watchers program I started paying for in November. I've only got 2 months to look super hot for my wedding! There's nothing worse than a fat bride; I don't want people to make fun of me on my wedding day. Tomorrow is the Black Eyed Peas and Pussycat Dolls concert in Portland, and hopefully, we'll get to hang out w/ Jon if he's not flying. At least we'll go to the Old Wives' Tale restaurant for some Japanese pancakes. Tonight I tagged along w/ Virginia and Shannon to the Honors banquet for college of business students, which I was not invited to, because I'm a moron. Well, at least I'm not graduating in the top 10% of the class. One of the Senior VP's of Starbucks gave a talk and it was awesome. Good chocolate cake too. Maybe I should have been an English major. I'm excited to be done w/ school. I'm also very tired. I had a drink called a Gummy Bear tonight and it was fantastic! It tasted just like a gummy bear, and came w/ 3 gummy bears on a stick to boot! Shannon has lost like 25 lbs. since starting weight watchers and she's also graduating in the top 10% of the class. Maybe I'm too dumb to be skinny. There's a thought. I came up with a genius quote the other day- I'd have a better GPA if I wasn't so damn stupid. Most people feel smarter coming out of college; I feel dumber. Is that right?

Have you ever met someone and thought- wow, it must hurt to be that stupid? I had the misfortune today of hanging out w/ one of the dumbest people I've met in a long time. He's a hick from Alaska majoring in Economics at CWU. He's a self-described Republican and proud of it, believes biodiesel is a bad idea and that Bush treats soldiers well. He also had some things to say about cats, which I don't care to repeat and made me extremely angry. It should have been a fun evening of hanging out w/ friends and eating guacamole, but it wasn't. To top it off, we just took in a momma kitty w/ four 5 day old babies who was shot in the eye and various other places w/ a shotgun. It's amazing to me how sweet she is and how much she still wants to be pet and loved after what she's been through.
A happier note: Yesterday we celebrated Cameron's 22nd birthday by eating pizza, drinking Lambeck, and watching Robot Chicken w/ Kerry, who was visiting from England! It was so much fun; I really miss my friends from high school. And on Thursday, I'm taking the train to Newport, OR to visit Barb before she heads off to BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA. It's so far away, but they're paying her assloads of money and she might be able to transfer up to the NW eventually. It should be super fun. (going to OR, that is) BTW- Hi Jon!! I miss you! (especially when I have to hang out w/ dumbasses!) Current Mood:

I got the cutest haircut and COLOUR today! I've never had my hair professionally coloured before, but it's fantastic! It has pieces of blonde and copper in it. I also got my eyebrows waxed; they didn't do the best job, but oh well, it will grow. I love my hair though! Really, it's exciting.

: I suppose it's time for an update or something
I haven't written in here for awhile, so I guess it's time. I'm just about done w/ my internship, but no job offer yet. :-( There better be though! I had a really good time and found that I really enjoy doing taxes! So let me know, if you have any last minute tax questions. REMINDER: Taxes are due Monday, April 17th this year, as the 15th is a Saturday. Anyway, Nathan has a JOB! Yes, that's right folks, a job! He's working at Lowe's in Yakima as a cashier and really likes it. It really sucks though, because he's gone all the time. He's also not going to school this quarter, because he'll need to take 45 credits at UW anyway to finish up his degree. I'm having to take 21 credits this quarter, because I need 225 credits when I graduate (to take the CPA exam) and I was going to be 3 credits short if I only took 18 credits. It sounds impressive, but it's not that hard. I've been working (read: thinking) about the wedding stuff a lot more now, but it's in 3 months! so I really need to get on top of stuff. We have a caterer now, but no florist and Mary Lou still needs to make to bridesmaids' dresses. They're so pretty! I have my dress and I know what I want for my cake. We have the officiant. The catering company is doing all the silverware, tables, and chairs and stuff too, so that's taken care of. I need to do the invitations, because they have to go out on May 16th. I feel like I'm rambling, am I rambling? Graduation is June 10th, whoopee!! I've got a bad case of senioritis, and I've had since becoming a senior a couple of years ago! Oh yeah and I'm getting a haircut on Tuesday. It doesn't sound that exciting, but it is. I think that's all I really have to say. Current Mood:

Huh, apparently I love taking stupid lj quizzes and posting them to my account. I have 4 minutes of lunch left and I really should be peeing and getting more water, but I've decided to talk to you instead. I have an eye dr. appt. today, dammit, I'm going blind. It's all the computer and detail work. I can't believe it; I've always had extra perfect vision, that was all I had! I've never had good hearing or other things, but I could see. I don't want to wear glasses. On another note, I love my internship. yay! Even though it's making me blind. Nathan has a Mak gig in Bellingham on March 4th and everyone should come, because it's going to be loads of fun. I think there's a potluck before it too. Shannon and I will be in attendence. Also, I'm going to the Black Eyed Peas concert in Portland on May 14, so Jon- I hope you'll be there or at least tell us we can crash there. You could come too, but I didn't figure you'd be interested. I hardly ever go to class, but I've got horrendous senior-itis. I've had it for the last year, but now it's extra bad, especially because there's an excellent possibility I'm currently working at the place that will be my permanent place of employment. Ok, gotta go do some taxes. woo-hoo!

: FYI
It has been called to my attention that there are those of you who believed me to be insanely angry on a certain Friday night a couple of weeks ago. I apologize for the confusion; however, I wasn't angry at all. Nathan just thought I would be angry and planned accordingly I suppose. I was actually very tired from baking all day and really just wanted to sit down. So please stop thinking of me as a psycho hose-beast. Thank you very much and have a lovely day. Current Mood:
