christmas time
you know it's christmas when you hear the redneck's version or the 12 days of christmas.
"..and a beer in a tree..."
they play just to amuse us all at work...it's making my co-workers laugh at least.
"eight...(twelve!)...oh, twelvth day...good day..." "go out to the store and get some presents...or the donut shop..."
"i think it ranks up there with stairway to heaven."
o my.

no school!
at least night class, which means no honors...which is more than wonderful! but this crappy weather sucks. we're in a blizzard warning, i can't get in my car, which means that i can't charge my phone (no i wasn't thinking of driving!). but there is a possibility that their won't be school tomorrow, which means no stupid wsi...but i do need to get there to work, so i will be walking across the street tomorrow....and i cancelled habitat for tonight, there was no need for me to keep it on and go and only be the only one to show up, but this just means we have a lot more to do in the next coming weeks.
yay for blizzards!

turkey and snow (or basically ice)
i made it into work this afternoon, which isn't much of an accomplishment since I just had to walk across the street and get into bsu's tunnel system to make it here, but my morning classes were cancelled since the teachers couldn't make it into town due to the mass amount of ice on the roads.
coming back to bemidji yesterday afternoon wasn't too much of an accomplishment either, well for me i guess. ice and snow on the roads doesn't phase me one bit, but it seemed to everyone else. i was going 50 on a 65 although everyone else was going 40. but i felt confident on the road, i wasn't sliding, and there was no way i was going to leave egf at 2 in the afternoon and get home at 8. so i passed everyone...including a sandtruck in a ditch and 2 other accidents, but they were all in the west bound lane. tessa was 10 minutes behind me and katie another 10 minutes behind her, so if trouble did happen, i would have my back covered.
my mom sent me home with quite a bit of food, which for that, i'm thankful. i wouldn't have anything otherwise! i had to buy a new cell phone (lindsi on my old phone: "that thing looks like a spaceship!") as my old phone would turn off for now apparent reason (i would turn i on and it would still have full battery) and no one could really hear me in it anyway. but unfortunatly i had to drop the rest of my paycheck on it, so i've got 2 weeks to go until the next paycheck. but anyway i got all sorts of leftovers from out friday night junk food night, a pizza, all sorts of chicken (grilled, patties and breaded), hamburgers, turkey, cheese, pasta, spaghetti sauce, veggies...it was a lot! so i should be set for the next couple of weeks.
it was good to see family on thursday and friday. i don't get to see my cousins that live down in the cities all that often, so it was good to catch up with them. it was a lot of talking and eating and just good times.
and now it's back to the daily grind. homework to be done and all sorts of other things. emails to send, projects to complete...and that stupid water safety instructor workbook to finish for tomorrow and i don't understand what i'm supposed to complete in there. i'll have to email the teacher, but i'm pretty sure she hasn't looked at it.
but anyways....happy monday!

i did my damage
ahhhh...good times last night. i did some good damage in the drinking department and need to go for a run so i can get in shape to continue on tonight... cause it's billiam's birthday! happy birthday my friend!
i also made an attempt to clean my room and rearrange it. i got the rearranging done...there's so much space in my room that we can have A DANCE PARTY in there! along with the new subwoofer and speakers, it could be a good time...that is if i could just clean up my floor so there would be room to dance without tripping over my clothes...and swim bag...and shoes...and random papers...and the broom...and....yeah.
tonight: party hardy!

my sister, the stud
last weekend, pretty damn exciting. i went home to see my sister swim in the north dakota high school girls state swim and dive meet. it's the meet that pretty much became what my life revolved around for 4 years and now she has the opportunity to do it for 6 (1 down,5 to go). it's dressing up for the parade of athletes, wearing a fastskin II, not shaving your legs for 3 months until the day of the big meet, wearing crazy colored tights and swimsuits to recreate the drag that you just shaved off for warm-up, getting your last gift from your secret sister, giving your last gift to your secret sister, cheering, and last but not least: swimming out of your mind.
before i go on, i have to tell you this: i went to go see fredrick winters, the hypnotist when he came here to bsu for a little show. he sells cds with his hypnotic practice on them for $5 a pop and he had one for sports and since i knew my sister had a mental issue when it came to swimming, i picked one up for her and mailed it to her. she became addicted to it, listening to it every night before bed and right before meets. i have a feeling this is what helped her, as she made sure to listen to it on the car ride over to the pool for prelims last friday.
alli was seated in the upper 20's for the 200 IM. my parents and i weren't sure what to expect. we weren't sure if she was going to swim her time or bomb it ... or maybe she would drop a second or two. or she could do what she did: drops 5 seconds and takes 21st. she didn't make it onto the next day for that event, but my parents and i had our hopes up for the 100 fly.
going into the fly, alli was seated 19th. being a seventh grader competeing against seniors can be slightly intimidating. she had a 1:08 seed time that she earned at eastern distric championship (edc) the prior weekend. i knew she would have to drop at least a second to make the consol heat, and i knew my mind was blank when the beep went off for her race and she dove in. i had no idea what the outcome would be. she had a strong first 50, staying pace with everyone else...then all of a sudden she took off! i know my mom and i were screaming, urging her to go faster...she touched the wall at a 1:05, now seeded 11th...we were so impressed. my parents took us out to eat that night so she could get a decent pasta meal and to celebrate (it was my 2nd time of the 4 times that weekend that i would eat restaurant food for a meal...it was a swimming weekend, what can i say?).
next morning, is finals. i'm in charge of running the video camera for the scoreboard at the meet, which naturally, i had fun with, warming up the crowd, zooming in on certain swimmers having fun and such. alli and the team warm up (alli wore red tights i had bought her as a fire up gift, pink fishnets, drag suit, and my brothers red short drag suit...stylin), then they have parade of athletes, and then relays start. she was on the 200 medley, swimming the fly leg, which was right away, she looked good during it, but they missed getting up on the award stand. then, later, after diving, is her event. part of my job was to zoom in on every swimmer and get them on screen. when i got to her, she blows a big kiss to the camera...what a ham. i started to worry she was going to bomb the swim, as her mind might not be in the right place...but boy was i wrong. last 50 she takes off again...cruising by everyone, touches the wall at a 1:04.49 and winning consols...taking 9th! as a 7th grader! she's pretty much a stud in my book.
so yeah, anyways...as state swimming comes around every year and i hear all the talk about it, it puts me in a swimming mood...shaving my legs is veeerrrrry minimal, and i've been at the pool as many times as i can make it to whip out a couple of sets. it's too bad bemidji doesn't have a team.
ahh...i heart swimming.

no homework weekend
should have done homework...but it didn't get done. instead, halloween decorations came down (tear*) but all the leaf decorations are still up. once i get paid, i'm going to buy more thanksgiving decorations for turkey day.
kt and i are planning a little shindig for turkey day. it should be fun. good food, good friends, and maybe a little touch football? :)
state next weekend. i haven't been home in 2 1/2 months! my sister dropped a second off her 100 fly time yesterday and she's not all the way tapered yet, so that should equal a rockin time next week. hopefully making it into the next day and t16? we'll hope...i need to make a sign i think...
well, i'm off to bed. i think i'm gonna go running in the morning. danielle and leann are my inspiration! hopefully i can get my lazy butt out of bed in the morning!

but maybe not in all ways. so, as you have probably already read, i locked my keys in my car. so this morning, kt and i begin the excursion to retrieve my car. it goes a little something like this:
-go to get vin number off of my dashboard of my car.
-vin number is covered by A BOOK. figures.
-grab fricken parking ticket i was told i wouldn't get by police officer becky.
-call parents. no one will be home to tell me my vin number untill 1.
-go by police station, appeal ticket. old man sheriff is super nice, no ticket to pay!
-go home. dad calls at 1 with vin number.
-call chrystler center. five dolla gets me new key.
-go to chrsyter center. nice old man there gets me a spare key for free! score! really liken old men right about now...
-go back to car, drop off kt, take off to drop off friend's car.
-kt calls, "your car is dead!!"
-back to car
-indead, it is dead
-drop off friend's car
-to house, pick up kt's car and jumper cables
-back to my car
-proceed to hook up cars the correct way and not electrocute ourselves
-we succeed! bring car home, no money spent...but time.
loooooonngg process. all because i fricken locked my keys in my car.
bar scene tonight was dull at the most, but i got to hang out with lindsi, good times.
thursday night should be exciting...no school friday. jenny and i need to get drunk and dance!!

stupid
fucking locked my keys in my car outside of brigids (excuse my french). i just can't believe how stupid i was. how did i forget to grab them? it's so unlike me...ugh.
good news though: talked to police officer becky, and although she couldn't unlock my car, she's going to spare me the ticket as she is on ticketing duty tonight (yes!). so tomorrow, all it's going to cost me is five dolla for a spare key at the chrystler center. and i really can't even handle that with all the broke-ness...thank god for five dolla spare keys at chrystler!!
and thanks to garret, who got me into keg, since my id is attached to my keys, which are in the ignition.
grrr.
party at the hockey house tomorrow night? hopefully!

new stuff
so i made a bet with jen and steph that i would get married before them...as in, if i do, i owe them each $50 in drinks at my bachelorette...if not, they owe me...$100 in drinks...it will be a sweet reward, because i can almost guarantee that i will not be getting married before them, as they sit at perkins with guys and i chose to come home. but i have an 8 am!
good news...i whipped out the hot red pea coat today. matches my scarf from berlin perfectly and ties in my fav. blue mittens. i want the cold to go away, but if it's going to be here, at least it gets to be in my red coat.
danced with a good guy friend at keg to build me up buttercup. it was fun, especially since i wasn't in the mood for dancing. i love dancing with him, it's always a good time.
thursday nights: slim's, bar bingo and karoake at keg with jen and steph (and all you lovely folks that come out to join us)...i love thursday nights

life is falling apart
eh....missed a class this morning. but i didn't have the homework done quite yet for it anyways, so yeah...but i can't miss anymore for that class. i've missed my 3. i don't necessarily like the content that we are learning in that class. it's stuff that i'm pretty sure that i won't be using in the future anyway.
i still have no money. and i've found that i owe more money to a credit card. i can't wait to get paid in a little over a week...but then again, it doesn't matter...because all that money will be gone towards gas, utilities and such. the only reason i go out is to see people. i can't drink, because i can't afford it...and if i do drink it's because someones paying for me to drink. thanks guys :)
ahhh....life sucks.

why is it like this?
so you get close with a guy...as in, heck, ok...i slept over at this guys house last week, shared a bed with him, we cuddled...it was fun. we didn't talk all week. party at his house tonight. he has 2 girls all over him and when i'm leaving and walking past, we finally say hi and we ask how each are doing...while he is still grinding with this girl.
why?
i'm not sure if i even like this guy, but why do guys mess with girls like this? my old roommate and i were talking about this. guys always seem like they are interested. you'll go out one night and some guy will stick with you all night, dance with you, buy you your drinks, hand on your back, hand around you...the whole bit. but other than that they want nothing to do with you.
it must be the alcohol...but seriously. i don't liked to be messed with.
stop messing with me!
