HA! 11:54 and I finished the page of the day! I'm good. <.g> Set the goal and met it. The fact that I had only 6 minutes left is of no consequence, I am now 1/5 through with my paper. Go, me!

And just think. In a few hours, I get to get up and do this all over again. : )

This is so weird. I had Blogger up in the background while I type my paper (I gave up on Word taking up the whole screen a long time ago, so I could multi-task. <.g>) and I just glanced over and saw the last sentence of the last post, about aug com invading my life again. All of a sudden, I realized that I didn't mind. I thought it was cool. After all this time wondering if this was really what I wanted to do with my life or if I was just apathetic and letting people decide for me, I realized I want to do assistive tech in schools. I could see me doing that. I am seeing me do that.

This doesn't change the fact that it wasn't my choice, but it does go a long way in reassuring myself that my Psych teacher was wrong and I really do have my own identity. I'll find some way to make this about me and not my mother. I don't know how, but I'll do it. Because I can.

Well, it's one page doubled spaced. <.g> So it could be worse. I'll just babble on about Guaman Poma fighting back in his own way, just as the characters in Yawar Fiesta fought for the right to blow bulls up with dynamite. I can do this.

I just tried to spell dynamite as DynaMyte. LOL AugCom invades my life yet again. <.g>

yay me! I found MP3s! Here Comes the Sun and Get by With a Little Help by the Beatles, and Hanging by a Moment by Lighthouse! I love this song.

Of course, I've written four sentences of my paper. But I can now work with good musical accompniament. After I stop crying from the movie.

Steel Magnolias is on WGN! Damn, I think it started at 7, and I was watching Zenon. This movie makes me cry so much!

Well, I wrote the intro. Isn't that pathetic? At least it's something, though. Ugh, I am in SUCH a bad mood for some reason! I am so bored. No one's online, no one is in my hall because it's mom's weekend, and here I am, stuck in my room all alone. I can't even go for a walk because of my allergies. I had to close my windows so my head would stop pounding, which means I'm missing out on 76 degree weather. I would say I should take a break, but I have work to do! My whole day was practically a break, and gee, can't you see how much it helped?

I am an idiot of the first class. Just so we're clear on this. I fount a Snicker's bar by the cookie. It's now in my mouth. Maybe I'll get a paragrpah done before the intense pain begins? I hate when I crave chocolate.

From EW about Wednesday's West Wing: Josh clashes with Donna, but as we all know, that's what little boys do when they have big crushes.

LOL! How totally cute is that? <.g> Oh, let's add to my list of annoyances - it keeps telling me I need to login with my tripod user name. I AM logged in. Grrrrr.

I am utterly frustrated with the internet in general today! I was playing around over at diaryland, which is really cool, but I can't get my images to show up! I'm linking them from geocities, which they SAY is okay, but it's not happening. Grrrrrrrr. I'm really getting annoyed. First my May design doesn't work, then this. I can't understand where my codes are going wrong!

I have my paper organized. It's theme is that not only do the indige people have to deal with other people coming in to control them, they do a pretty good job of doing that themselves. I have five sections. Each section will be one page single spaced, and I'll write one page a day. I hope.

I think I need a peanut butter cookie. I also think I need to start my paper to make me get over this stupid internet annoyances. <.g>

I don't think I ever mentioned my really, really cool Easter present - a blue hydrangea! It's gorgeous - looks just like the banner picture. <.g> My new favorite flower. I mean, how many flowers actually come in colors like blue and purple? <.g>

This story got rec'd to me on my g-w list - it's called Out of the closet, into the frying pan and it's by Cairnsy. You know, the same one in my sidebar. <.g> It's a really cute story about Percy trying to tell his family that he's gay and dating Oliver Wood, only he's a little too subtle and his family is a little too dense. LOL

Actually, her whole site, Postively Percy is a great site. Read her analysis of his character, which is brilliant, learn about the origins of his name, fan fic, everything. Great site.

My head is in a fucking vise. I can't even brush my hair without a chorus of "ow"s as my head moves. I think I'm going to be sick. I hate allergies.

I have the worst headache. Grrrr. I took Claritin, please let it help me. I need to be able to concentrate today! Oh, but I had the silliest dream. <.g> Jan, Jon, and Austin had come over for a visit (I really need to do a cast thing. Jan is Jon's mom and my mom's best friend from HS, Jon is my age and my friend for the last 16 years, Austin is his 22 month old son), but it wasn't to my home, but to an apartment that was mine. Guess that came from the dream I've been having the last few nights. <.g> Anyway, Austin was an animagus (for non HP fans, that's a person who can change into an animal) grey striped kitten. LOL He was so cute, too. <.g> Maybe that's why I'm having such an allergy headache - the cat dream. LOL (I'm allergic. Half this post is explanations. How annoying.) But I had fun playing with him, and then Jon was standing next to me and gave me some pictures of Austin. And yes, some were him as an animagus. <.giggle>

I remembered last night while talking to Gen about West Wing that I have a Hearing test on Thursday. Therefore, this weekend is made fully of writing SAC and learning Hearing. Everything else I shall wing during the week. I can do this. Please, please tell me I can do this?

Wow! Twist of an ending! LOL It's also Josh/Donna, and it's 25 years in the future during President Lyman's administration. Cool, huh? If it gets archived somewhere, I'll link. <.g>

Wahoo!!!!! Found a CJ/Sam story. <.giggle>

::breathes:: I'm out. I didn't talk to Rita once, but I had to get out before Matt came. I couldn't ever stand that. <.shudder>

God help me. I have sunk to new lows. It's been months, but....I am in a WENN chat. <.whimper> I'm such an idiot. But I'm ignoring Rita and talking WW with Katie.

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buffy is moving to UPN for the next two seasons. UPN! I think I'm going to be sick.

ARGH! Annoyed, annoyed, annoyed. Last night I started working on the May design. It came out rather cool. Well, one graphic did, and so basically that's ended up being the whole design. I don't have much time, what can I say? <.g> Anyway, I keep testing it, and it's giving me a headache! The font won't change from black to gold, the background doesn't want to be the pretty color I told it to be, as it seems to prefer white, and basically it looks rather boring. And I don't know how to give it some kick. Urgh.

Today I read a book for SAC that I was technically supposed to read a week or so ago, called Paper Tango by Julie Taylor. It was...I don't know. Maybe I just don't get it. Maybe I'm not deep enough or sophisticated enough, or maybe it's just because I'm not Argentinian. Whatever it is, I really didn't get the book. It's all about the tango, and I just don't see how a dance can have that much meaning that people get together and talk about its meaning. It could also be that the lyrics completely lose themselves in translation - what they are affected by just seems ridiculous to me. My teacher was talking about how this is like a love story for taylor's son, and it's how Taylor was able to get over a childhood rape and abuse from her father by learning how to dance. First of all, Taylor mentions her son maybe twice. She goes out dancing for 12 hours some days, and goes to dances at 2 in the morning - where's her son then? How does he feel that this dance is seemingly more important to her than he is? Second, the tango is a complex dance. It's supposedly about love, but the lyrics are about how women are out to destory men, and the dance is completely male dominated. How does that help someone reclaim her body, by becoming completely submissive? I don't get that. I don't get a lot of the stuff from this class. Maybe that's part of my problem. The teacher just doesn't explain anything! She just says, "this is how it is." But it doesn't make sense, and she doesn't explain. The TA does, somewhat, but she has such a short period of time to work with (less than an hour a week). I can't depend on her to explain things, and so therefore I wander around this class completely confused.

For Lady K. <.g> "I figured life goes by so fast, if you don't write stuff down, it just gets lost. And I want to remember." - Willow

LOL!!! Modern Humanist did this hysterical West Wing parody in honor of Aaron Sorkin's arrest for drugs. <.g> (When I told my mom, she said that she knew there was a reason his writing was so inspired. LOL)

My mom just IMed me and reminded me that today is the second anniversary of Columbine. Yesterday alone, five Chicago area schools reported shooting threats. All hoaxes, of course, but what honestly goes through these peoples' heads? Erin and Carol's mom Bobbi is an 8th grade teacher, and their principal told them all to be on special alert. I hope there aren't any copycat episodes, but this is such a scary time for a lot of parents. Be careful, guys. : )

Added more blogs to my list. LOL Am I ever going to stop finding blogs? <.g> The list is getting out of control! But they're all so cool and fun and interesting.

Hey! I finally got around to checking my Psych test score - 92%! Yay!

YES! I found someone on Scullyfic who's going to send me all of seasons 1 AND 2 of West Wing!!! Happy, happy, happy me! <.g>

Hey, found a blog linking to me, Feather WeBLOG. Hi, guys! : )

Oh, look at Holly's new design! I love it. That's an awesome shot of Pittsburgh.

I'm bored out of my mind. I read the latest Rocky Path story, I read the transcripts of the first five WW episodes, I don't want to write my paper. I know what my theme is - people coming in and taking over the indige people like they're all idiots who can't live their own lives. Only worded better. <.g> I can use pretty much the entire first quarter of my notes for that. Tomorrow. LOL I wanna WATCH West Wing! Urgh. Not one person has responded to my plea for episodes. I might have to turn to the Josh Donna list, which I'm wary of because I don't know any of them. <.sigh> No one's online now, J is closing tonight so we can't watch ER, I have no one to talk to, I don't want to read anymore, and I am so bored! Anyone wanna chat? E-mail me for my AIM name.

West Wing sites to check out:

Episode Guides
Jo's Obsessions

I'm on a search for transcripts. <.g>

Oh!! It's a book, too! Coming out May 15, so I can buy it with my birthday money!

Oh my God, this sounds wonderful!! I can't wait to get it!

LOS ANGELES (Launch) - Former "ER" star Julianna Margulies, Rob Lowe of "The West Wing," and newsman Tom Brokaw are a few of the figures lined up as voices for the upcoming audiobook "War Letters."

"War Letters," due in stores next month and compiled by Andrew Carroll, is an anthology of American correspondence encompassing every major armed conflict from the Civil War to Operation Desert Storm.Harry Smith, of A&E's Biography, will narrate the audiobook. The letters will be recorded by multiple readers, including Lowe, Margulies, Noah Wyle, Giovanni Ribisi, Eric Stoltz, Campbell Scott and Joan Allen. Several of the celebrity readers will also be donating their proceeds to the
non-profit Disabled American Veterans group.

Okay, yay! Jen is very much seeing the funny with me telling off her boyfriend at 2 am. <.g> She thinks it's awesome, actually. Apaprently she had told him to call her friend's cell phone because she wouldn't be here and I'd be asleep, but he was a bit too drunk to understand that. <.g> But yes, she's really quite tickled about this. LOL

Cool, Amy who was visiting at LaLa Blog has her own now! I love the design, and the name is so creative. I see all these fun, creative blog names, and then there's mine. LOL

Oh, my God! It's 45 out! That's so warm! <.g> And it's going up to 70 today!! About damn time. Saturday, it's hitting 79, but with thunderstorms. I don't care, as long as it's 79. <.g>

Now let's see if I have time for breakfast. Mom kept me on later than usual before my shower looking at FAFSA stuff. I'm still pissed off that I have to do this. Dad always said that he wasn't going to let me start out after college with loans to be paid off. Ffft. Yeah, right.

Uh-oh. I think this might get interesting. <.g> Jen went out last night for a girls night out. I went to bed about 11. I seem to have a memory of the phone ringing at 2 am. I'm pretty sure it was Daniel, her current kinda boyfriend. I'm not sure if Jen was even here, I don't think she was, but I got a little mad at him. "Is Jen there?" "I don't know. Why are you calling at 2 am?" There was a long, long pause. "Because I just talked to her at 1, and I thought she'd still be up." "What about me? Do you not have any consideration for other people? I don't know if she's here, and I don't care!" That's when I hung up. <.g> I'm just so sick of her idiot boyfriends calling in the middle of the night and waking me up!

Ack! Just read a spoiler for West Wing's finale. I'm not saying what it is, obviously, but I am rather unsettled that there might be big changes in a show I'm just getting used to. LOL I like it the way things are! I don't think I like these spoilers. <.g>

I unsubbed myself from most of the mailing lists I had set to nomail! Well, after I rebooted my computer when Yahoo crashed it. Grrrrrr. But I'm only on a few nomails now - two lists where I plan to eventually send stories, plus HP4GU in case I feel like joining in some time, and willtara because...I don't know. LOL I'm just still there. So now I'm on 30 lists. <.g> And NONE of them are sending me mail now. Grrrr.

Oh, Nick Brendon is engaged! How cool. They're going to have a whole bunch of weddings coming up. LOL Wonder if Aly and Alexis will be next? They're so cute.

Awesome Buffy stuff here! Info on the rest of the season, talks with the cast and Joss at the 100th ep party, etc. Really cool!

Betsy-Tacy!! I love these books!!

That was such a good episode - Ann Stark is such a bitch, though! But Josh was holding Donna's underwear in the middle of the bullpen. <.g> Seemed a little stunned by the turn of events, but he also wasn't really letting go. <.giggle> I love them.

AUGH! I know this ep!! This is HYSTERICAL! Josh and Sam start a fire in a fireplace that's been closed for 150 years. Gen's not watching, Jennie's not on, I'm highly depressed. This is a good ep to hook people with. <.sigh> I guess we'll start next week, with the new ep.

Damn! I forgot that West Wing was moved to 7 pm this week, thanks to that stupid Weakest Link show. That means Gen can't watch, because her roommate watches Dawson. I hope J comes online early tonight! Oh, but this theoretically means that Krissy can watch. ; ) I actually remember watching this episode - it was pretty good. Actually, it was hysterical - Sam and Donna both get humiliated, in turn, by this one journalist. LOL

I've been playing Sims all afternoon. You knew it had to happen - I made a Josh and Donna Lyman family. LOL I don't think I've ever had a couple fall in love faster! They went from 20 to 100 in less than a Sim hour. <.g> Now they're both on the Politician track. LOL I really like their house. It's actually two houses, but connected by this one tiny hallway. One house is the bedrooms/bathroom, the other is the living room/dining room/kitchen. Oh, and I almost forgot! Right after their first kiss, Josh asked Donna if she wanted a baby. <.g> Donna declined for the time being. LOL

I uploaded the Bible paper. Ignore my pathetic opinions and enjoy the summaries. <.g>

My life theme song is Morning Train (Nine to Five) by Sheena Easton. Everyone else on Scullyfic has cool songs like Joy to the World, I wanna Hold Your Hand, Hit the Road, Jack. Okay, obviously everyone there is older than me, and I am jealous. <.g>

Explained to Tara one more time that although I appreciate the invite, church isn't my thing. We'll see if it sinks in. LOL She'll be living about 10 minutes away from me next year, though, which will be fun. She really is a sweetheart.

I love Scotty and Laura. <.g>

I responded to Tara's e-mail before I left for class, being all excited for her, and when I came back, I found a response from her asking if I wanted to go to Church with her on Sunday. AHHHH! How many times do I have to tell her that I am not a Church-going person?! LOL

My friend Tara just e-mailed me. I haven't actually seen her since graduation (we were almost next to each other <.g>), but she goes to the community college down here. But she got into UIUC for fall semester!! So that'll be fun. Maybe I'll actually get to see her. We tried for a long time to make plans, but I refuse to go to her church and she only seemed to want to see me at church. <.g>

I really need a new way to categorize all the blogs in my sidebar - I have too many. LOL Hell, I need a better way to organize my sidebar. <.g>

Gah. Printer's being an ass - it's going to take at least ten minutes to print. It does this just to aggravate me, I swear!

You know, I hate that my Bible paper sucks. It started out so good! It's now 9 pages, 13 pt font, and I rearranged two paragrpahs to make it look like my opinion piece is longer. <.g> So sad.

I'm wearing my Willow-sweater today! Well, I insist it's a Willow sweater - I swear to God I've seen a promo pic of Aly wearing it! Can't find it, but I swear I saw it. LOL Maybe I'll ask the Kitten boards - they know everything Willow and Aly. LOL Anyway, it's cornflower blue, 3/4 length sleaves, scoop neck and chasmere. Quite pretty. <.g>

From alanna, the XF writing goddess: Gee, that actually sounds like a funny fic to write. Mulder with a baby on one arm, diaper bag over his shoulder, and trying to juggle his weapon. "Stay away from that playpen, Krycek! It took me three goddamned hours to assemble!" LOLOL I'd love to see that. <.g>

Hey, I never saw my blog on the most recently updated list before. LOL That's pretty damn cool. <.g> Now to remember exactly why I opened the internet. What site was I going to? <.g>

Okay, let's see how fast I can do this before my computer crashes. LOL

Buffy: I adore Anya. She and Xander are totally cool. I love how she told him to breathe because he was turning colors when she talked about babies. LOL I also love her speech about how she was unthreatened that Dawn loved her job, and the line about fondling the money. <.g> She rocks. So does Tara - I love Tara. Willow's on my hit list, though. I can't believe she would be so stupid as to help Dawn like that. Doesn't she GET it? She was doing everything wrong. I can't believe Tara didn't call her on her lies, either. I didn't like that. I did like Spike with the flowers, though. That was the one scene I was spoiled for, and it was beautiful. I felt so bad for him. Although he was sweet, I didn't like him helping Dawn, though. Such an idiot sometimes. Oh, BUffy and Giles! Absolutely more in my "they've been subtly pushing them together all season" theory. <.g> I'm serious, every episode has had something to indicate a relationship forming! Last night's was the two of them "presiding" over the dinner table, and him putting his arm around her very casually. <.g> I loved Buffy and Angel together, in the they're-making-me-cry way. Good thing Joyce died *after his epiphany, huh? The end also had me close to tears - Buffy telling Dawn about how she was feeling, and her expression, even after all that, when she thought her mom was home. <.sigh> SMG is a good actress.

Angel, on the other hand, was hysterical!!!! I love Wes and Angel - they are so lusting after each other. I really, really wanted that one girl's job from the fight scene - she got thrown into David's arms, and then passed off to Alexis who carried her and leaned over her on the bench. <.snicker> Cordy and Harm were hysterical, and I love Cordy calling Willow. I only wish they had let us see what Willow's line was, although Cordy's reaction was beautiful. LOL Wes and Angel bursting in was so cute, especially how they were standing so close! And then I laughed so hard when Wes took a step back and aimed the crossbow at Angel, who rolled his eyes and pushed it down. <.g> They are so cute together. But the end....Jen and I watched it about five times. LOLOLOL We never ever ever get to see Angel smile that much! And oh my GOD, when she started happily going, "La la la la la la la," bouncing up and down and he bounced too, I thought Jen and I were going to break ribs from laughing so hard. Oh my GOD that scene was so hysterical! "You have a gay man's taste, and that's saying a lot." Angel, sounding so proud of himself, "I bought her clothes." <.snicker> I think I'm gonna rewatch that scene today. LOL

See what I found last night? Buffy paper dolls. And they even have Tara! I love Willow's sweater. <.g>

Ooooh, no Child Psych today. So I get to come back after I hand in my awful Bible paper and watch GH and Picket Fences. I'll start pulling info for my SAC paper, too. I'm just going to write a paper based on my notes from the semester and throw in Yawar Fiesta examples. <.g> I hate that class. <.groan>

I swear to GOD, I am going to bed right after West Wing tonight. Which, I feel I should mention, J is going to wach with me. <.g> You're gonna love it, dearie.

God bless Kristine! I gave her free reign in my blog settings and she got my archive running!! I have an archive!!! I'm very excited. <.g> Thank you, sweetie! {{HUGS}}

I still don't want to write. <.sigh> This totally sucks. I just wish I could figure out a way to say what I'm saying without saying what I already said.

And with a sentence like that, you wonder why I'm having problems. <.g>

Awwwww, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr are engaged. Yay them! Buffy made me cry, but so did Angel - because I was laughing so hard. <.g> Cordy and Willow, Angel and Cordy at the end...all totally perfect. I'll try and remember to talk more tomorrow after it airs all over the country. LOL But I totally wanted to smack Willow in Buffy. Yeesh.

James Marsters is in talks to do a production of MacBeth in Chicago this summer!!!!!! I swear, Jen and I would be at every performance. Along with my little sister. <.giggle>

ARGH!!!!! I have an opinion now, but I don't know how to explain why I agree without completely and totally repeating everything I already said in my summary!!!! Thanks to 13 pt. Times, I'm now on page 9 and getting really frustrated. I know what I'm talking about, I just already said it!

OH! Miracle in Lane 2 is on Disney! And I can't watch it because of my paper, and I couldn't watch it all anyway because Buffy is on in an hour. ACK! I need to write 2 pages in an hour.

I think I found something I'm opinionless on.

Do I have opinions?

Is 8 pages close enough to 10? <.g>

Woo-hoo, wrote a whole paragraph. LOL And I have food - turns out jen had been nibbling some of my crackers and stuff. I hadn't a clue, but she got me whole new boxes today, which is sweet! So now I have sour cream Ritz and ritz cheese sandwiches. <.g> I'm quite pleased.

Now to write more. LOL

Grrrr. I find myself slipping back into last semester's mindframe. I just do not want to write this paper. For the love of God, it's my OPINION. I don't even want to write my opinions. I have to get out of this funk. Maybe it's because I've been slipping up on my meds - I've never been very good about remembering to take stuff. But I want to be fine on my own and not because of medication, you know? It would suck if I'm only okay when on drugs. I am not looking forward to my grandfather coming this summer. I really, really wish he wouldn't. When he found out that I'm on this, he started making me feel like an idiot because I was on it. If I was strong, I wouldn't need it. I should stop taking it right now, because it's a crutch. But mom likes it when he comes, because dad won't start any fights or anything if we have a guest in the house, so she gets a rest, which she needs. But I don't like him, and I don't like how he makes me feel bad. And I do feel bad, and I really don't want to.

I'm starting to get a complex here. <.g> I went into settings and changed my blog description. Fine. I went back, excited, and changed the date setting so now it tells me the day of the week. Fine. Really, really excited, I went back in to fix my archives. Not fine. Every single fucking time I try and get this blog to archive, it tells me that the page can't be accessed. I'm really getting pissed off here. I KNOW that the posts are saved on blogger, I can go back and read them here. But they are not on my blog page, and that's making me very mad.

Hey, Danielle who is using one of Kristine's designs watches West Wing, too! And XFiles. <.g> Very cool.

I had a blast at Kate's! We watched an XF ep and I helped her start her paper on it. Then we had chicken breast pizza and poptarts for dinner. LOL I really can't wait to live with her next year. We have so much fun together. : )

Of course, I still have to work on my paper. I got the second part back today - 84%. GRRRRR. Oh, well, it still averages out to an A-, so I should be able to keep an A on it, which is good.

Oooooh. Kate invited me over to watch XF and have dinner after Psych. But I should work on my paper. But I want to go! LOL Let's see what I can write now, I guess. Josh and Donna can wait. <.g>

Did I mention that mom and I actually did watch Romeo and Juliet? Most of it, anyway. It was so funny - she loved the presentation (her favorite scene was the first one, the fight in the gas station. She was so impressed) but doesn't like the story anymore. LOL She kept complaining that the characters had lost her, that the plot was stupid. <.g> But she kept having me translate. "So, he just insinuated that Romeo and Mercutio had something going?" "Yes." "She's waiting for her wedding night?" "Yes." "He just saw his best friend die, killed a man, and is rushing over to have sex?" "Yes." Plus, she kept cracking up hysterically because it was similar to Titanic. LOL The one shot at the ball, when the Nurse rushes Juliet up the stairs? The camera pulls back and it's just like the shot in Titanic. <.g> Then there was the pool/balcony scene, and mom kept laughing because he was all wet, and said that if Juliet said anything resembling "Come back!" she wasn't going to be able to watch anymore because she'd be laughing too much. LOL It was a lot of fun - that was the one night Josh wasn't in my room, so it was just the two of us. Minus the fattening snack, unfortunately. <.g>

I HATE dad. I knew the CD thing was going to set him off, the bastard. Mom said he was at his worst last night. He hollered on and on about how he went to Jim's mom's wake and Jim didnt' come to his dads. He told her that she made his life hell when his dad was dying and he doesn't want to hear anymore about Po. So mom reacted in the worst way possible, smoking and drinking and crying. She was doing so fucking good and that goddamned bastard had to go and do this. I hate him so much. Fucking asshole. We'd be better off without him. I hate him.

12 degree windchill. I, of course, have my winter clothes at home. I'm so cold. So cold. I don't even want to take a shower, because I know I'll be even colder. <.whimper> Where'd April go?

They turned off the fucking heat. It's fucking 30 degrees outside. I wasn't going to go to Psych for the quiz today, since she takes best out of three and I won't get better than my A and B, but oh my GOD it has to be warmer outside than in here!

Well, I don't think I ruined Easter. It was touch and go there for awhile. Like, dad knew all year that he was going to have to add money to my account to get enough for my last tuition payment. Well, he didn't. And I was $1500 short. So he had to open the CD for next year yesterday instead of in July. We were preparing for a really bad day today, but it was actually okay. No one came over, which is good because I hate when people come over and bad because it's my grandfather's last Easter. But we had a yummy dinner, and dad made cheesecake yesterday that was absolutely incredible. Then he took me to the train station. When I called from here about 20 minutes ago, though, something went wrong because dad was apprently pissed off about something. Don't know what yet.

So Josh slept in my room Wed, Thurs, and Friday nights. LOL It was actually a lot of fun! He's such a sweetheart. I got NO work done at all, but that's okay. I'll deal.

As you can see from my sidebar, I got cool things in my easter basket. LOL I'm so excited about the Bridget Jones books. I read the first one today and finished it on the train - it was fabulous! Then I started the second one and it's even better. I'm so excited to read it! Then I got two HP card games. I can't wait to play. <.g>

Oh, yeah, Spy Kids! Mom and I loved it. Josh was less than enthused but that's okay. <.g> Mom and I totally drooled over Antonio Banderas - yummy. It was fun and action-filled, and so damn close to Willy Wonka that they were awfully close to copyright infringements. LOL But I loved seeing Robert Patrick (even as a bad guy. He's cute) and Teri Hatcher, and the mom was super cute too. Carla something? She does hair color commericals. <.g>

Well, I should probably unpack now. but first, I have to give a great big hug to Belle, who came back to us! I missed you a lot. : )
