Wow, so I lost all my bookmarks from some computer thing and then completely forgot Livejournal existed. Here's what's going on:
I decided not to go to grad school, at least not right now. I don't think I really want to do accounting, so I don't want to waste the money. Not sure what I want to do, actually. I have been doing random things like traveling, spending a few weeks with my mom and sister, etc. for the last 4 months and now it is time to get a job. Scared to do that and there are almost no jobs. Wish I could move away but Andy is still schooling. I am looking for an interesting and challenging job that will give me some insight on what I like to do... and that like, doesn't exist right now in Bozeman Montana. I have one prospect right now... wish me luck.
I'm excited that it's getting nicer and I can ride my bike. I also have a goal to re-learn piano. I've been filling my time with more "activities" and less TV and it feels so good.
I want to get another Bachelor's degree in Art History, if I win the lottery I will. Need to start playing the lottery first.
Aside from the anxiety about needing to get a job, the past few months have been relaxing and I feel refreshed. The past few weeks in particular have been enlightening and invigorating and I feel pretty satisfied and happy. Haven't been able to say that in awhile, and it feels good.I am feeling: oh yeah, this thing! I can hear: Dark Was The Night comp, so good!! |

nevermind, i posted the ipod thing on myspace and a TON of people replied. i wish selling anything else was this easy. i would get rid of so much stuff. |
| » selling ipod - 30gig |
|---|
Okay, so i hardly ever use my ipod, and i really like the sound quality of cds better. i just can't think of a good reason why i need this thing. i'm not one of those people that can't walk to school for 10 minutes without some music. so i'm thinking of selling it. it is:
30 gigs
white
and practically new since i just exchanged it within warranty.
it's been kept in a case so it's really scratch- and spot-less.
still has the plastic sheet on the front.
i even have the box, if you want it, and i would give it to you with the case still on, although you'll probably want a new one since it's scratched and old.
it also has 27 gigs of my music on it, so if you have similar tastes that would be an added benefit.
also would come with a car charger and a wall charger.
i don't know what to ask for it, i guess i'll just suggest 150 and if anyone wants to make other offers i will consider them. i know you can buy one on ebay for a little less than this but it doesn't come with accessories, music or the "person you know" security.
if anyone wants to repost this it would be appreciated. thanks everyone!

as i have told some people, not including my family, yet, i am coming to vancouver on the 5th-ish. maybe the 4th... maybe the 6th... WHO KNOWS... i'm just WILD and crazy like that. andy and cliffy are coming too. i want to hang out with people. i also want to eat indian food and changs. and a slurpee. i also would like to go to wunderland. if anyone wants to have a party or barbeque during that week i think they should. i am now of alcohol, and still of meat, -buying age. by the way, andy and i know how to make the best hamburgers of life. if you haven't met andy i bet you will like him. if you don't believe me ask jay. they're like super friends now. like the show? did they have super powers? superfriends? jay has the power to think every girl is cute and eat lots of mexican food and andy has the power to build circuit boards and forget everything instantly, like a goldfish.
anyway... the most important part of this post is THIS part. andy went on a fun and hiking-filled family trip to glacier park until THURSDAY and this is the first time i've had to be in the house by myself. i don't know what to do. cliffy is just laying in the hallway by the door, i think he expects andy to come home. maybe i'll just sit in the hallway until thursday too. i have school and video games and dirty dishes and errands so i probably have enough to do in the daytime to keep my brain occupied but the hard part is trying to go to sleep alone. even when andy is here i have to go to bed at the same time as him or else i can't fall asleep. also i hope there aren't any bugs in our bed because i really don't like to touch them but i can't sleep alongside them. andy usually brings them outside. i don't know what they think they'll find in here, don't bugs eat plants or other bugs? there are more of both of those things outside.
also though we went to lewis and clark caverns today and it was pretty sweet. i like caves. there's a place where in the early 1900's people were allowed to break off stalagtites and take them home, and you can still see where they broke them, but you can also see the ends reforming, and it's cool. the weirdest thing was a bat that apparently died while sitting on a formation and the rock kept dripping and forming over it so it's this half-covered petrified bat that they don't know how old it is but you can still see its black skin and wings and stuff. also on the hike up, there are all these sedimentary rocks on the side of the trail that were formed 3 million years ago when the area was under a huge lake, and so you can find a ton of fossils everywhere of little sea creature things. fossils are my favorite. it's so cool that you can really look at one specific creature, something that used to harbor life, 3 MILLION years ago, and now that species just doesn't exist. on a rock on the top of a mountain... that used to be underwater.
i'm so glad school is almost over. i'll get to have a whole 3 weeks of vacation. i want to go camping... and sleep a lot. i want to go to yellowstone again, i don't think i understood anything about it when i was little. and it's right here. there's so much to do around here, we just have to get around to doing it.
OH! no one else is going to be excited about this BUT, andy and ed (and me a little) painted the room downstairs that is going to be ed's and it looks AMAZING compared to the rest of the house so andy agreed that we should paint the upstairs. i am so excited about this. right now we only have white walls and it looks ugly and feels stale. and painting is way easier than i thought it was going to be. the only thing is money, but i think we can manage. we already have everything except the paint. so all we have to do now is pick colors and make sure the landlord thinks it's okay. he can be a real jerk but he's also really out of touch so he'll probably just go "ok whatever." and with everything we've done plus painting, this house is going to look amazingly better than it did when we got here.
i think i'm tired enough to go to bed now. i'm finally reading 1984 and i really like it so far, i'm glad that i'm reading it during this time in politics. whether i enjoy it or not though reading anything in novel form makes me really tired, so it's been helping me get to sleep faster. bonus! i'm going to bed.

|---|
i don't like being on the internet anymore. i haven't even hooked up my computer. my life is more... enriched. with ds games and cliffy. we don't even have cable so i just watch jeopardy and wheel of fortune and pbs. it's been a nice summer so far.
saturday i am leaving for florida. there were supposed to be 5 of us, and i just found out one girl couldn't afford it, and one girl's AUNT got sick so she has to stay with her in the hospital or something. i want to be understanding but also i'm sad. why did her aunt have to get sick THIS month??? so it'll be me and kambra and katie, which is still exciting. and i'm going to freakin disney world so whatever. i could go to disney world with george bush and hitler for a week and it would be a fun fulfilling time.
small children are painting our house. i don't like it. but it's better than nobody painting our house...
cliffy is going to dog school and he hates the clicker but otherwise he's doing good. he's on a diet which he supplements with live ants and sometimes beetles. and once in awhile cheetos. but more ants and beetles.
my birthday happened, and i've ordered drinks at restaurants and it makes me so happy. i feel like a real person now that i can order anything off of any menu if i feel like it. i also bought some smirnoff twists, and they make a wild grape flavor now and it tastes just like dimetapp. probably my favorite thing in the world. now that i can drink whatever i want, i can admit to myself that i really don't like beer very much. sorry dad. i can also watch friends and loved ones get overly intoxicated in public places rather than in the comfort of my own home. and if i ever live in a town with more than 30,000 people again, i can watch live music in clubs with people my age rather than ridiculously trendy 15 year olds.
andy got me some stuff for my birthday including super puzzle fighter II turbo, and then on the 11th he got me a DS lite!!!!!!!!! so i gave him my old one and now i have two towns in animal crossing in which to look for blue furniture. plus this DS just looks so much cooler. and BRIGHTER! and i got a new purse so that i can actually carry everything i want to carry... so now i can go to "spoony?" (that's my town's name, question mark included) WHENEVER i want. i'm sure nobody cares about the purse but it was amazing because i looked online for about like 3 hours for something i would like (i am sooo picky about purses and they are probably the hardest thing ever to buy, worse than jeans) and then i went to this ONE store downtown that i like, just this little store that i try not to go in because i want to buy everything, and right in the front of the store is like, the purse i was imagining in my head that i wished i could find. amazing. i understand if you aren't picky and a girl it won't seem amazing but it was. anyway,
so i am super old now, i can do everything besides rent cars. and today i have to do a project and study for an exam that i have to take before she lectures on the material on the exam (because i am leaving early). so i should probably get off the internet and stay off for another 2 months. it's pretty liberating, i recommend it.

i miss everybody in vancouver. in vancouver and from vancouver. i hope that when i come home in august i can hang out with a ton of people. it seems like people keep moving around but they always come back or at least stay connected. i like knowing that there's a network of people from my past, all in one place. i wish i could stay better connected... in person, not through the internet. after college i want to go all over europe with andy for a month or two but i also think i wouldn't mind ending up in portland for awhile. i guess it depends on jobs and stuff... anyway, i'm excited to come home in august. this sounds dorky but i like how a lot of people i know are moving in with their significant others and stuff. cause that means they can relate to me in that way. i don't like how "pairing off" sort of separates people at this age but i guess that's just life. ANYWAY at the baker barbeque this weekend somebody have a drink for me and i hope there are more barbeques when i'm in town.

it's been almost 2 months since i wrote in this thing. let's see.
the semester is almost over and i have so much to do in so little time. i know everything will end up fine but it's just stressful right now. once school is over i get about a week and then... i start school. summer session is so nice though, the town is empty and even though the classes are twice as accelerated, they seem laid back. i'm going to be starting business classes which is exciting. they're mostly mathy which i'm sooo happy about because i'm so sick of reading and answering response questions. i feel accomplished when i understand statistics and math but i never ever feel accomplished in soc.
life feels less boring lately, maybe it's because it's nice outside and we've been taking walks and stuff. it's almost 70 degrees today. i wish i could be having fun outside rather than doing homework in a basement all day, but... there's lots of summer left.
anyway, the exciting news is that we got approved for a house today!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's almost everything we wanted. it's really close to campus and to main street so we can walk pretty much everywhere, it has a nice yard with a fence and a big huge tree, it has a big basement so andy can have an office and his drums, 3 bedrooms so we can have a guest room, an area for a dining room table, and a decent kitchen with a new range. and a carport... and a cheesy awning. the outside has green and red bricks... it's really cute. i'm not sure when it was built but the style and some of the details lead me to believe the 50's. they're going to repaint part of the outside so it's gonna look really nice. i'm so excited. we can finally have a real table to eat at and a real living room and a real entire house that's sort of ours. i can't wait to put our stuff and cliffy in it. eventually i want to get some new curtains for it and play up the vintagey feel. it has no dishwasher, which was one of the main things i wanted, but i guess i can look into portable dishwashers... they're about 100 bucks on ebay.
anyway, that's basically why i updated. maybe someday i'll post pictures of it. right now i have a ton of homework to start on.

h'okay, so. i dunno when i updated last but i bet it was a long time ago.
new:
full-time schooling - lots of reading.
unemployment! - free time partially filled up with lots of reading, also boyfriend, food, video games.
dog - leaving on saturday though :( getting him back in may. would cost 800 dollars to keep him here for 4 months... too much.
car - 99 subaru impreza outback sport wagon. most lengthy named car to date. 4WD... really nice. black. was getting new stereo put in... getting it saturday.
ipod - nomad broke, but i had a warranty, so i got a new ipod for 80 bucks. sweet.
phone - new number too. ask me.
printer - boring.
HOPEFULLY... radio show - will find out in a few days.
same old:
apartment - trying to keep it cleaner. julie is helping a lot more.
boyfriend - things are going really great. last night i had my first unexplainable girly freak-out fit but i think one in 4 months is ok. overall there's hardly ever a time when i'm unhappy. we're talking about moving in together this summer and i feel really good about it.
lack of exercise - will change that soon.
i've been really moody lately in general, like for the past 2 weeks or so, i don't know what that's about but i really don't like it. i could probably think of more to say but i have to go to my THREE HOUR class. and i forgot to eat dinner. dangit.

okay so my dog is still in washington and i haven't met him yet but here are some adorable pictures my family took.
( Cliff )
not much else to say, one final down, pretty sure i got at least a b, one more to go, pretty sure i'll get around a b, which puts me at one b and one a-? for the semester. i can't wait until i have a regular amount of classes. also, i'm done at subway, maybe forEVER. also, i DEEP cleaned the kitchen because it was DISGUSTING and i feel so much happier now. the dirty kitchen was really bringing me down. also, i know what i'm getting julie for christmas but i don't know for anyone else. i really need to think about it. also, radio tonight... i don't know if we get an hour or not but if anyone in washington is bored from 1 to 2 am their time, they should go to kglt.net and stream it and see if we're on. cause, we rock, and you might even get to hear me read a PSA about animals. cause i do every week it seems like.
i think i'm super hungry. i have no energy. and... i haven't eaten ANYTHING today... yeah i'm gonna go eat.

march: ummm, snow??? wtf mate? fucking kangaroos.
april: it's april, that is scary, and exciting.
may: erg i feel so sleepy but i have no TIME for sleep, no time for livejournal either but i seem to be making time for it, although i have so much more to say about the last month but i haven't said any of it and maybe eventually i'll have time to summarize, in the meantime i need to shower and work and study and study and study and sleep and take an exam and pack and pack and pack and pack and move and move and move and no sleep.
june: if you didn't know
tomorrow is my BIRTHDAY
and i won't be a teenager anymore.

september: WHY DO I HATE MORNINGS SO MUCH?!
october: IT SNOWED! IT SNOWWWWWWWWWWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
november: so tonight i went on the best date i've ever been on!!!!!!!
december: i am trying to get this dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that was a rewarding exercise eh folks? mostly this year was about snow. snow and andy... and school... and zombies. oh and europe. what a great year, seriously. the last couple years have been my favorite ones ever. i think things are going to keep getting better. way to go self.
every day i look at the pictures of that little dog and hope they mailed my mom a form and hope so much that nobody else got him. he's so freaking cute and happy looking. i don't even wanna look for other ones until i know whether i can have this one.
on the travel channel today it's a marathon of programs about disney world. it makes me want to do nothing and watch them all. it also makes me want to go to disney world really really bad. BUT I GET TO in like 6 months!!!! mom if you're reading this please don't forget to call the timeshare people. thanks mom.
ok i'm done.

i am trying to get this dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:
he is at a rescue shelter in portland. he looks like the tiniest husky of all!!!!!!!!!! really he is a chihuahua pomeranian mix. i know he sounds like a yappy nervous dog but apparently he likes dogs and cats and looks super happy. and i can carry him everywhere!!! and he'll be perfect for our apartment. he likes to watch tv and sit in front of the computer. THAT'S ALL WE DO!! and he likes to eat. another thing we do. the only thing he doesn't like is a lot of exercise, and small children. i hate those too. anyway, i hope we get him. my mom is going to try to adopt him cause she has the perfect pet home and then i can STEAL HIM AWAY!!
finals week is almost here. i found out i have a b- in one of my classes, which makes me angry because it's a "diversity" credit so it's full of people younger than me and i feel like i should have done well but it's religious studies and i didn't have any previous knowledge like all the christian montanans do but still, everyone else is doing badly too apparently because she had to start giving us study guides and extra credit assignments. i'll probably do pretty decent on the final and i've done the extra credit assignment but i really hope i'm brought up to a b or b+. i'm almost positive i have at least an a- in my other class though. probably an a... i hope an a.
brent and i normally get to have the last hour of the 12 to 3 show on kglt on tuesday nights, and this week the 3 to 6 am guy didn't show, so instead of turning on the radio robot automated system that plays jap pop, we STOLE his show (2 hours of it anyway, we got tired) and it was super exciting. it felt like we had our own show. i think we have way more experience than most of the apprentices now. i really hope we get a 12 to 3 because i think i might fall apart if we had a 3 to 6. i feel so dead today. BUT IT WAS SO FUN!
i've been sleeping at my house every night and it feels so good. i miss andy because we're both busy but this way it's exciting when we do get to hang out and actually do something. it's just hard i think when you get used to being snuggled whenever you want and then suddenly you have to be alone more often. but this is a better way. i can't wait for when i have a dog to take care of too.
time for food!

so tonight i went on the best date i've ever been on!!!!!!! yeah we've been together for quite awhile but it was still a date. we went all the way to livingston (andy drove there and back though even though we took my car!) and we watched a showing of grizzly man sponsored by the montana film somethingsomething. it was a really interesting movie... i think that guy was extremely unbalanced. i also kind of think he wanted to die, but it's sad that he let his girlfriend die with him, because she obviously didn't want to be there. i figured that if that guy was so comfortable in the middle of a group of bears, he would have understood more than anyone that survival is an instinct that overpowers friendship or peace... but i really don't think he did. i think he just couldn't handle human society so he imagined nature as an accepting and peaceful place where he could escape to. anyway, good movie. we were some of the youngest people in there for sure. it was part of the wine festival. i felt so adult. it'll be cool when i'm actually 21 and i can do stuff like that and drink wine too!
and then we went to the fanciest restaurant in livingston, no not beefburgers drive in, it was actually fancy! i don't know why they have it in livingston or how they stay in business but DAMN it was good. i had halibut which i haven't really eaten since i was like 12 but it was SO GOOD! and andy had goat cheese pesto hazelnut pasta and i ate some of it and it was amazing. and we got dessert and it was also amazing, they had gelato-like ice cream and it wasn't gelato but it was super good. and we had creme brulee which i don't really love but it was pretty good and a chocolate layered something which was good and prickly pear sorbet which was weird. and andy paid for the movie AND the amazing dinner!!!! i didn't pay for anything. it was a totally real date. and we talked about our families and it was sort of romantic. i'm so excited for my parents to come and make awesome food and go to the museum and eat at zydeco and i think that's all there is to do here. and i'm also excited to go home for christmas and go christmas shopping and hang out with jt and andy's gonna come visit and us and the parents and maybe sid and miguel and maybe jt (and?) are gonna go to bluehour i decided. and also chang's. and SAUCEBOX!
anyway it's time to get back to our mundane lives where we watch a lot of television and drink a lot of soda. but i like that too.

has anyone seen the movie crash?? it was so much more than i expected. one of the saddest movies i've seen. my sociology teacher in the summer told us to watch it, but bozeman doesn't have movies for very long... so i couldn't see it until it came out on dvd... i wish i could have talked about it with her. i think race in america is so interesting, and disturbing too. hopefully i'll get to take a bunch more classes focused on race. i probably will because the soc program requires so many 300 level electives.
today my friend brent and i turned in sign up sheets for an apprentice class at KGLT, our college station. it's tuesday nights from this tuesday till the end of the semester... and after we're done we can get a show. we're excited. tuesdays were already my favorite day cause of tennis and nip/tuck. now they're my SUPER favorite day.
i'm almost done with all the residency crap i have to do. i have to go register my stupid car and my boss has to give me a letter to give them. and then...... NO MORE SUBWAY! and then.... WAY MORE SCHOOL!
uhhhh that's all i have to say. life is awesome.

i just saw the exorcism of emily rose and i thought it was a wonderful movie. not just a stupid scary movie. it had a plot and good acting and stuff. probably part of the reason i liked it so much is because i'm kind of a nerd about ethics and the psychology of religion. anyway it was extremely engaging and i recommend it to anyone that thinks religion is an interesting institution.
