tell me why I'm in a bad mood today, I will gladly spend some of my underused points and send you a mini.

Hmmm. Bribery on Xanga. Have I really sunk that low? It appears I have.

Here's all you get to figure it out:
I was fine. And then I was in the student union building on campus, trying to study and EVERYTHING was going on. Seriously, there's like never that much activity on the second floor. Why today?

And is my reading finished? No.
Is my homework finished? Yes, technically yes. But I'm getting all new homework tomorrow. And I STILL have a crap-load of reading to do. Yes, I finally get into my major and I'm trying to keep up (you know, there's some information you just have to know if you're going to be doing anything medical/therapy related with your career). And I am decent at it. I'm booked, but I'm keeping up with everything but reading. I'm just so slow at it...it blows.

I don't want to talk to anyone but desperately want someone to at least sit in silence with me.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is to just sit there with them. In silence. Just...be there.

And I am booked until February 13th. Yup, Friday the 13th. But that moderately begs the question: What AM I doing on February 14th? Because while it's not a holiday I approve of, it'd still be nice to do something...

And then there's the thought processes surrounding Mr. SymmetricalFace.
Yes, I like him.
But I'm starting to wonder if it's more in a "I don't want anyone else to have you" sort of way.
Which is odd. Because doesn't that mean I do like him?
If I do, then why would I be(/am I) resistant to attempting a relationship with him?
Why do I have so many questions about him?

And WHY THE HELL do I NEVER see him on campus?
I am sick on talking to him online.  I want to see Mr. SymmetricalFace in real life.

Maybe I'm just exhausted. I'm always less rational when I'm tired. And I'm tired due to my 5:00 AM rise and bumble around time. (Yeah, I don't exactly "shine" at 5 AM). You'd be exhausted too if you woke up at 5 and went to bed at 10-11 PM.

There you go.
There's all the info I can think of.
If you know any more information (ie, make something up) then go ahead, tell me.

I really want to know why I'm in such a bad mood.

how Xanga works. No seriously though, it took me like 5 minutes to figure out how to get back to my private home page after I had strayed from it. How ridicuous is that?!

Okay. I don't know how long it's been since I last logged onto Xanga. And I don't want to think about it. Have you ever had to take a break from it? I did. Last quarter was a bitch (excuse my language) and I needed to not be on so I could focus on my Syntax. By the way, syntax is both fascinating, complex and EXTREMELY difficult!

Anywhoo, once I was off I kept wanting to log back in.  I would see the logo on my bookmarks bar, longing, begging me to open it and pop on. But I had to stay away. And once you're away for a little while, it gets easier to stay away. The need to write and read Xanga shrinks. The desire to spill your anonymous soul out to a world of strangers, oddly enough, goes away. And the longer you're away, the harder it becomes to log back in.  You start thinking about how much you missed. How much you haven't blogged. How much you would have to catch up on. And it overwhelms you.

But I'm back. It won't be the same intensity, but more often at least.

Okay. So the big updates:
1) I got into my major! Speech and Hearing Science (SPHSC) Majors FTW!!!
2) I'm going to graduate next year! June 2011! Ha- followed by grad school.
3) Mr.Symmetrical face has moved on... (more later on that)
4) Bought 2 Naked Clown calendars. One for my mom and one for my boss. Yeah, they were the pride of my gift giving season.
5) I'm a paid artist now!


That's it.
Alright lovelies.
Enjoy your nights/days.
And go for a walk today.

Okay, so I'm always looking for ways to share with my friends and family how much they mean to me. And I'm pretty decent with the crafting- I make birthday cards and scrapbook style projects when necessary. So this year for Christmas, I've decided what to do for all my friends and family: make bookmarks.

I know- what?!? Don't you think that's a little lame?

Well, no, I don't actually. It's quite easy to make a bookmark the name tag on a larger gift for close family and friends. And for other companions, like co-workers,  I can just give them the book mark and a lovely card or something. 

But the best part? I'm going to hide secret messages inside all of them!

If you're wondering how, it should be simple (I've yet to test this method, it may require modification).

STEP 1: Take 2 book mark sized pieces of paper and decorate one side of them only.
STEP 2: Write the secret messages on a smaller piece of paper, laminate paper.
STEP 3: Glue together the edges of the 2 pieces of paper- insert the smaller piece into the center of the 2 before gluing completely.
STEP 4: Laminate the book mark, punch hole in top and ribbons

They shall be spectacular!
