PICS
I really miss owning a computer and just now realized that I hasn't updated this since August. I'm going to try and make an effort to get a computer soon. Hopefully I will talk to all you guys pretty soon.
Keep me updated on what you have been up to. Leave me a comment telling me all the juicy details!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wowzers... time flies when you have no life.
I hadn't realized how long it's been since I've logged on. Throughout the process of school, work, moving, and my computer breaking I haven't really had a lot of time nor was I able to get on the internet (s) (s optional depending on your mindset and sarcasm level).
Well, update is that I've been working more to try and raise money to buy a new computer (since I spent $750 on fixing my car a few days ago). For now I steal my new roommate;s whenever I can. I'm still doing the whole school thing. Finished my Anthropology and German degree and now I'm working on all the requirements needed to apply for pharm. school. Wish me luck!
Sorry to all the people that have tried to contact me over the past month. Unfortunately it may be a while before I actually have time to get back on here again.
Best of luck to all of you and I'll see you again in a month or so. If any events happen to be going on during a weekend that I'm not busy I may see you ATLiens sooner than later. Just call me if anything earth shattering happens!!!

It goes,... dragging one haggard leg at a time.
So the thought that I've been enthralled with lately is the notion of creating a proof about self-absorption (inspired by all the pretentious fucks in athens... seriously, who cares about your music, clothing, etc. Why all the cliques?) So it would be similar to the "is hell endothermic or exothermic" essay, only dealing with someone so self-absorbed that all their energy (whether it be heat or other) back in on themselves... would the result be implosion, spontaneous combustion, black whole, or other? You tell me. Either way, we need to find a way to weed these people off the earth.
As for those who had to hear me bitch about my chem test, I ended up with a 102. you will not have to suffer my ramblings about that until the next test.
I normally hate Blake poems, but I really liked this:
The nature of Infinity is this: That every thing has its
Own Vortex; and when once a traveller thro' Eternity
Has pass'd that Vortex, he perceives it roll backward behind
His path, into a Globe itself enfolding, like a sun,
Or like a moon, or like a universe of starry majesty,
While he keeps onwards in his wondrous journey on the Earth,
Or like a human form, a friend with whom he liv'd benevolent.
As the eye of man views both the East and West, encompassing
Its vortex, and the North and South with all their starry host,
Also the rising sun and setting moon he views, surrounding
His corn-fields and his valleys of five hundred acres square.
Thus is the Earth one infinite plane, and not as apparent
To the weak traveller confin'd beneath the moony shade.
Thus is the Heaven a Vortex pass'd already, and the Earth
A Vortex not yet pass'd by the traveller thro' Eternity.
In other news, I'm almost done with listening to placebo. (I choose a band to be preoccupied with every week - month time span. It's about time for someone to hand me a burned cd and me to start the cycle over again... lather, rinse, repeat, etc). I still like the fact that they have a song that uses the word cuckold. I haven't heard that shit since shakespeare.
Oh yeah, and this whole trying to make friends thing really blows.
Sometimes I think it's really not worth it.
Like I'm going to know any of these people in five years anyway. It will be one of those things where you see the person once a year or so and act polite or send them a card on some random ass holiday. So ultimately, bleh.
Off to work. I guess I'll see you kids later. Maybe.

Wow, apparently it's been quite a while since I have posted anything on here. I guess it's about time to catch everyone up on what's been going on in my life.
I graduated this past semester with an Anthropology and German degree, and proceeded to go on a drinking binge for the month of May to celebrate. For those of you who have been keeping up with my ever changing " OMFG what do I want to do?" debates with myself on the internet, I decided not to go the route of nursing school. Hell, I even through radiology out the window. I figured that if I'm going to do something, it's going to be balls to the wall awesome. On that note, I went to the graduation check office and had them press a few buttons so that technically I won't really graduate until she presses another button. Since I came to school with 19 hours of AP credit and only dropped one class, I now have Hope paying for my next sixteen hours of Pre-pharm classes. It's ironic how this all works out too. I originally applied to school with a pre-pharm intent, but changed it to two liberal arts majors instead. Something about being lazy if I remember correctly.
So now that I've sold my soul back to the university for the next god knows how many years... I drank myself into a stupor, accepted it, and moved on. I'm taking a summer class to kick off my new round of school, which means you all should see me online more often. Plus now I only allow myself to drink on the weekends and Mondays, so some of you won't be seeing me around town as often (if you are from A-town).
On another front, my job situation is all kinds of fucked up. I had put in my two weeks at this job that I've been at for the past two years and ended up getting another job. A week later my first job convinces me to stay on. Another week later the managers at the job that I had gotten let me know that they had been dumbasses and hired too many people between the three new managers that had just started working there. So great; now I'm back to ground zero. On a brighter note, the person above me is a complete dumbass, so I'm thinking eventually she'll get fired and I may be able to take her position. Here's to hoping, because my bitch ass needs rent money and better insurance.
Last, but not least, there is the ever present boy front. Damn, I know I'm picky... but it's been four years (with the exception of a month long thing) since my happy ass has dated anyone. Everyone who is interested in me really just annoys the fuck out of me. Every three or four months I've been resorting to one night stands, which is something I'm usually not a big fan of. The main thing I really miss is just having someone there to hold at night and in the morning. It's sad, but I'll crash at my friends houses sometimes just to have someone to talk to for at least two minutes in the morning. (wow, my emo-ness is overwhelming). On a brighter side, since this was the first summer in a long time that I wasn't having surgeries or taking summer classes ALL summer, I've been meeting a lot of quality people. (and some not so quality people, but we'll just leave that for another post). I feel like this summer is going to be a good one. Here's to hoping anyway.
Everyone really needs to leave me a comment letting me know what's been up in your life. I haven't really been on this page in a long time, and sure as hell haven't been keeping up with anyone's blogs. So please leave a synopsis after the beep.

Boys who wear makeup are hot. Too bad I live in a po-dunk town.
On a new note, I think Placebo is one of my new favorite bands. I don't know how I never managed to listen to them before now.

I know, I know.... it's comparing huge to a smaller scale model, but I thought it was interesting anyway. If you want a summary, there probably isn't anything in the article that you didn't already know.

Now I can not only write shitty poetry in English, but also in German. I'm not sure if I should be happy about this. I just know that I had to do it for the worst class in the world.
It's meant to be about the parallels between the fall of man (from the garden of eden) and the fall of man from the trees through evolution. Either way, I'm going with the theory that that chapter of the bible is a metaphor for societies switching to a huge domestic agriculture market.
psha:
Someone should let me know of the errors that I've made so that they can be fixed!
Von Affen zu Menschen
In diesem Zimmer steht ein Mensch in seiner lezten Stunde
und seine Augen folgen
der Pendeluhr
an dem Mauer.
Er hat auf diesem Zeitereignis schon gewartet, seitdem
er aus den Lüften hinfiel -
Von den Bäumen
wie die Früchte.
Er hat die Sorten angepflanzt, ach, deren roten Wurzeln
die Menschen fast zerschnitt. Er
schuf die Wege
zum Krieg und lief.
Er hat die schädliche Kraft von den Götter gestohlen
und wird von ihrer Kraft jetzt
bald umgebracht.
Ist es umsonst?
Hier liegt ein armer Mensch, der nicht von seiner Nachgeburt der
Erbsünde sauber ist. Und
es gibt jetzt nur
das Dickicht der
Städte.

It makes me sad to know that our fellow thinker and my favorite anthropologist has passed on.
He will be missed.
God made mud,
God got lonesome,
So God said to some of the mud, "Sit up!",
"See all I've made," said God, "the hills, the sea, the sky, the stars."
And I was some of the mud that got to sit up and look around.
Lucky me, lucky mud.
I, mud, sat up and saw what a nice job God had done.
Nice going, God!
Nobody but You could have done it, God! I certainly couldn't have.
I feel very unimportant compared to You.
The only way that I can feel the least bit important is to think
of all the mud that didn't even get to sit up and look around.
I got so much, and most mud got so little.
Thank you for the honour!
Now mud lies down again and goes to sleep.
What memories for mud to have!
What interesting other kinds of sitting-up mud I met!
I loved everything I saw!
Good night.
I will go to heaven now.
I can hardly wait ...
To find out for certain what my wampeter was ...
And who was in my karass ...
And all the good things our karass did for you.
Amen.
He will be missed.

So I think I found it this time. Well, at least for now. Originally I didn't want to do pharmacy because of all the science and hard work, but I think I'm finally ready to actually put effort into my education. It only took me two pointless liberal arts majors being completed to figure all of this out.
I went and talked to the advisors and have to go talk to some people about deferring my graduation so that Hope will pay for 16 more of my hours (since I had credit coming in). The next 5 or so years aren't going to be super awesome, but they'll be a lot better than if I went out and got a soul sucking job. That's for damn sure.
I'm going to be a student for life!!!!! YEAH!!!!
So that's what's going on with my life and why my posts have seemed very distant and I haven't been keeping up much with the internets. You should give me a quick recap on what is going on in your life.

If you haven't seen this already, it should make your day. Here's the original plus the rap someone made out of it!
I like the woman's crackhead theory!
