mmm...weekends

sitting around doing nothing. having the guy home. television. sleep. i would say food, but i just got done complaning to my mom how that's pretty limited. tonight it was tomato soup and pop corn.

"I remember when I first got to WVU I was so happy and seemed to be getting along with everyone. Then I started drinking pop again. There is my answer, pop is fucking me over emotionally."
-andrew

and i had pop. at least 3 times this week. i haven't had pop in soooo many months. unfortunatly, i'm emotionally stable right now...but i kind of wish i wasn't so i would stop drinking it! NO MORE. i broke down and had mt. dew. i was craving it. no more.

again...i love grey's anatomy. but i didn't want george to move out. things will get better.

i also love the fact that the world can get together and party. unfortunatly to ricky martin and avril lavigne (which...it could be worse), but they're still partying. that's one of the many reason's i love the olympics...t minus how many days until swimming olympic trials?! i've got to start saving money!

kt needs her computer back. good night all!

sleepless in btown

tuesday night bedtime: 3:30. wednesday night bedtime: 4:00. and i'm still golden! it's so funny that a couple of weeks ago i was complaining about how tired i was and now i'm practically pulling one all nighter after the next. last night i got the student senate webpage up. theres still a couple of broken links (don't go to the constitution!) but go ahead and check it out.

i'm excited for the weekend...and for thursday night madness...and for seeing people. my computer at work isn't the only one that needs my attention.

hell day

so today i stayed in bed till about 4 today. not because i was sick, but because i killed my eyes. last night i went to bed and i could barely shut my eyes without them watering. i couldn't keep them open because they hurt too much. i finally got some shut eye but woke up numerous times throughout the night. this morning i couldn't keep them open and they wouldn't stop watering. i couldn't focus on anything with my eyes open. i finally got some more sleep, my eyes got some oxygen (as what was wrong with them was that they didn't get enough oxygen to replace the cells on my eyes), and one eye is healed...the other is still really really red, but i can open it and see things now.

what really sucks is that i had to miss the presidential luncheon at school. i had a free lunch! no fair... i secretly hope it sucked...but i know if was probably really good.

habitat meeting in 1 hour...i think there is a trips meeting. i feel so unorganized. i suck as el presidente. dang.

tonight: making one hell of a resume. it's going to rock.

it's a new love

grey's anatomy is seriously the newest love of my life. i love the characters and all the great feelings that are expressed in this show. i think it's because i'm such a guarded person that when i see all their emotions, i can't help but get attached. it's such a perfect mix of so many great emotions...i think i need to learn to express myself better. but no one needs to know me that well. sunday night television is my addiction.

and it just turned into the best show ever...george and meredith...way too cute.

last night. wow. i don't think that will ever happen again. at least i hope not. it wasn't supposed to happen. and now...i just need to recover :) sleep, ice cream and no contacts for a couple of days...i guess glasses are really the only consequence for my actions...besides the fact that i owe a friend 40 dollars...and that never should have happened. augh.

here's to another week...next saturday will be good. can't wait!

not much going on lately. lots of homework going on. trying to get a lot done with the book this weekend as i have a check point meeting on wednesday. i had a test on valentine's day which i'm hoping went ok. before that i hadn't had a test since oxford! i sat at home all valentine's day and read 6 chapters on history of modern design and ate dove chocolate and some of the chocolate that my parents sent me. they also sent me a really pretty bracelet which i may not take off for awhile. that night i went to northwoods with danielle, jenny, amanda and leann and we celebrated vday. then jenny and i hit slims where we scored free drinks. i then went home and went out with others later to 209. the single crowd...hmmm.

well...i've got habitat stuff to do. off to the bank! later...thursday night madness. excited!

more filming

here's a pic of cast and crew looking over the storyboards. yup working hard...and then after studying storyboards, i still couldn't act the way that i was supposed to. figures. ha.

how true.

o italia and osterreich

i miss italia right now. and i wish i was an olympian.

i also miss austria right now. my good guy friend has met a stripper. he wants to ask her to marry him. he's going back tonight to see her after his guy friends convinced him. he wants to be 'that friend' that marries a stripper. it's classic. he got me to go to a strip club in austria. i told him he should go eat greek food now as that's all that we did in vienna...went to a strip club and got free greek food from a very kind greek restaurant owner. amazing. he wants me to come down to the cities tonight to go back to the strip club with him...i sooo would, but i have to film tomorrow.

i need to stop watching opening ceremonies...they'll be on later tonight. i need to be productive right now.

disclaimer: i don't know if that's the EXACT spelling of osterreich...i know it's close so don't chew my head off if i spelt it wrong.

movie star

did i tell you i'm a movie star? well...sort of. i'm still trying to earn my gold star...but i have to learn to stop giggling so much on set. but it's fun. we had our second day filming on saturday. for some photos of the shoot, go to mr. director's blog.

my superbowl part II

here's a pic of tessa, with her computer, i just put my borrowed one down, our devoured green mill on the floor and, well, yes, we do have the superbowl on.

and i did know it was pitsburgh...it just took me awhile...it's all the same state. and hey, getting the same state is pretty good for not watching one football game this year.

favorite commercial? the advantage one, where the lady ends up in some guys lap in the airplane after some turbulance...and she was trying to make it to the bathroom. and the dove commercial for woman had all three of us in goosebumps and tessa said she shed a tear. and the kermit the frog one? that one HAD to be made for tessa (it is easy being green!)

o yeah, and tessa's team lost. she also chose it because one of their players, hasselbeck, well, his last name sounds like hasselhoff. another good reason.

p.s. we had a really amazing girls night on saturday night that included a scavenger hunt of bemidji. wild things happened, lots of laughs happened...and i can't even show you the pictures...as people like my siblings shouldn't be allowed to see them. but for you older folk (but not too older), go to facebook.

superbowl

soooo....completely untraditional superbowl for me. i'm sitting at tessa and jenny's, in days old pajama-y clothes, slippers, laptop, homework and i'm waiting for green mill. tessa's also laptoping it up and jenny's putting clothes away. we're just in it for the commercials basically though. and the kick off just went.

usually i'm at the smith's house or they are at my parents and we have a crap load of good appetizer food...and the guys get into the game, the girls talk...but we still enjoy the game. but not this year...just homework and the game.

by the way...i'm cheering for philly...only because i'm going there for spring break. tessa however is cheering for seattle...because she likes birds.

i was supposed to go snowboarding today, superlab tomorrow, but since lucas wasn't kind enough to tell us that bv wasn't open today...well, we made the trip out there just to find it closed. so amanda and i are going tomorrow. i hear it's the 7 7 7 deal..woohoo!

but yeah, stupid 3d studio max is taking FOR EV ER to render. i just want to see how the margarita glass is looking so i can figure out if i need to add more light.

well, i'm still tired these days. 5 o'clock hits and i'm yawning. i was almost out on the couch at 8 last night when jaime called and asked if i wanted to go to "humpback mountain" with some of our friends. brokeback jaime, brokeback. it was good...but kind of weird.

well...i'm going out tonight, probably not good for the tired body, but i'll live. my mom thinks that i'm tired, but i just won't recognize the reason. and she thinks she knows the reason. i won't atribute it to that but i don't know...sometimes your mom just tends to be right. we'll see.

have a good weekend...i'm sure i will.

cravings

i want to sit on the couch for the rest of the day, pop in a good movie (i'm thinking under the tuscan sun), eat taco johns and pizza and chicken fingers with honey mustard from quizno's and eat a heck of a lot of ice cream like i don't have a care in the world with how fat i could get and never do homework again.

distance relations

i hate how distance seems to destroy friendships. it's convenient to be a friend if that friend is right there with in reaching distance. however, they move away and that friendship fades to dust. it still exists in the form of we used to hang out all the time and now it's the person who i used to be really good friends with that now lives in ____ town. it's a sad happening.

what happens that makes us loose touch? i suspect that 2 different lives now take place. each person gets involved in new discoveries and the current is replaced with the new. i also suspect that some of it just has to do with natural human laziness.

i just wished that friends never went away. or that if they did, you would always have to stay connected...that there was no way to loose touch. but unfortunatly that happens...and i will admit to it being partly my fault. i think sometimes i need to step back from my crazy, hectic life and just enjoy life...because when i'm in crazy, hectic mode, when i get down time, i crash.

here's the start of a new week. wake up time: 6:30. good luck!

rocked out

so the battle was fun. i always feel bad at the end of the night when all of our bands gave it their best but we can only give the band who had the most people there to vote for them the winning prize. because we had some really sweet bands there. it was a lot of fun...and now i'm spent. i've lost my voice, but i think it's slowly coming back. and i got to sleep in today!

so i was supposed to go out of town this weekend, but that fell through. looks like i'm staying here. but that's ok, because i'm with people who love me and that's all that matters.

here's something funny though: i had my brother pick me up from the bar last night and take me home. my car is still at slim's...filled with habitat battle of the band stuff.

well...i think i'm going to clean my room...or attempt to. i can't really do laundry as the washer is broken and i don't feel like going out to take care of the laundry so it's just going to sit there.

have a wonderful weekend!

i love it when you call your mom and she not only puts everything into perspective but makes it seem like the world is NOT out to get you.

boys are stupid...and i'm smiling now.

life will be better after tonight...BATTLE OF THE BANDS!

drats

i was looking sleepily at my clock last night at 10:30. in bed at 11, watched a gilmore girls episode and was out by midnight. wow i suck. and then i still had problems making it in to work at 9. hmmmm...

in other news, my big party, battle of the bands, is tomorrow night. BE THERE. it will be a good time. good music, good food, door prizes...and who knows what all might happen. and while your having fun, you'll also be raising money for habitat for humanity...who knew that fundraising could be this exciting?

i could go for a double choc flake frescata right now...why is there no costa coffee here? aparently they're going international...

it's true

relearning

so i'm trying to teach myself to stay up late again and get little sleep and wake up the next morning in time for class at 8 and STILL be able to make it through the day with out thinking about having a nap. we'll see if it works. tonight it looks like i'm going to make it to 12:30...next week 1? i included a picture from eurospring...that's me and our fat tire bike tour guide on our cruise down the seine river. that night, after the tour, we drank underneath the eiffel tour, missed the last metro and had to walk many miles through paris to get back to our hotel. i wasn't in bed until at least 3:30 that night and had to be on the bus at 8 that morning for our bus tour of paris. and that's how most of eurospring was. extremely late nights, extremely early mornings. and somehow i'm still living to tell the tale. i need to retrain!

fact is though, that if i am staying up this late i should be making an attempt to do my homework and not slopily put it together during my 2 hours of work tomorrow. not that i have much to do tomorrow anyway at work...wait. that's a lie.

i joined weightwatchers online over the weekend. i really forces me to make all of my foods and eat nothing but fruits and veggies...which i love anyway. but it's hard when the girls want to have supper with you on wednesday night and you have to plan out everything that you eat around that supper...you just can't come home and find something to eat that matches how many points you have left for the day. i told danielle that i had joined weightwatchers online today at the rec center and she commented on how skinny i was. i noticed tonight for once that i was looking skinner...when i sucked in my stomach. i still want the body i should have had when i was a swimmer...but is that something that i should want? i think its a goal that i could at least work towards. and at least it forces me to eat healthy. and i love that i can still eat fast food if i wish. we'll see how this goes for a month before i give up on it or not.

zerek and i were talking online tonight and i think he misses me. or maybe he misses zach. i don't know. he asked when i was coming home next...which would mean that i would have to bring zach home with me. i don't think he's ever gone this long without seeing zach. me...well, he's gone a couple months. because i'm so gosh darn busy.

but it's 12:31 right now. i've reached my goal for the night. it's bed time with a 7:30 am wake up call. nighters...
