[Link] | Haha, so I just realized that when I am speaking with someone who has a Minnesotan accent, that causes my own Minnesotan accent to increase. (thought you are correct, I am not from Minnesota) I just got off the phone with a gentleman from Minnesota buying ISU tickets, and I notcied early in the call that my own speech was sounding more "northern" (this was before I knew that the man was from MN), and then I found out that this man was from MN, and I couldn't stop myself from speaking like him. HAHAHA Thats awesome. Ok ok... good story, I know... shut up.
Oh yeah, and uh F-Stats. I have my last final tomorrow at 7:30am. And I cannot WAIT to be done. Forever. No more finals for me- except maybe correcting them when I teach. Yay! Over and out.

Trying not to do homework...
Sadly, yes- I am wasting time to fill this out. Homework can wait a little longer. I am not in the mood.
High School Meme that's been floating around:
1. Who was your best friend?
The marvelous clan of Loser's Club girls of course, and my Sarah.
2. What sports did you play?
Tennis
3. What kind of car did you drive?
My '95 Dodge Caravan- wooo hoo
4. Friday night -- where were you?
Having Loser's Club meetings, maybe with Drumline peeps, or doing homework
5. Were you a party animal?
Nope
6. Were you considered a flirt?
Hahaha, me? A flirt? You've got to be kidding right? No, I was not a flirt, no matter how hard I tried, lol
7. Ever skip school?
Nope, I was and still am, the loser who hates missing a day of school- which kinda fits in to me becoming a teacher doesn't it?
8. Were you a nerd?
YES. In every sense of the word.
9. Did you ever get suspended/expelled?
Not one day. Not even detention. I'm a good little girl ;)
10. Can you sing the Alma mater?
If that means the fight song- YES. In fact Pat Baker and I had our own rendition of the fight song in college too, haha.
11. Who was your favorite teacher?
There's the majestic Brejcha, can't beat that. Then of course there's Cowger liking the overhead, the crazy fool. And of course there's Mashek my favorite math teacher of all time, and Carey the best Calc teacher ever!

16. If you could go back and do it over, would you?
Yes and No. Looking back I would change how nerdy I was, after realizing how important grades really are, since I was such the nerd. But I also wouldn't change a thing because being so innocent and untarnished in high school helped me to stay the good little girl that I am, haha.

[Link] | Ok, time for another random random update. So this weekend was interesting- going to Minnesota for a number of reasons. Firsty to see my Aunt Tina, Uncle Bernhard, and my little 3 year old cousin Elayne all in from Austria. It was nice to see them. We rented a pontoon for the afternoon and went swimming and fishing a bit saturday, and we made cookies on sunday before we left. Layney latched herself onto me by the end of saturday and sunday morning and you could hear her calling for me throughout the house, haha. Fun times- I made a new best friend.
In other news my grandpa now has a heart problem, which they plan to treat with medication- he's been getting easily fatigued and light headed, causing my grandma who has ahlzheimers to freak out- so now they've decided they are moving to a one level house- and about damn time. It was really hard to sit back and watch my grnadma yell at her daughters becasue of my grandpa being sick- they try their best to watch out for them, and grandma just can't keep up with what is going on- and you can tell she's getting worse. Very very hard to watch. But on a better note, I get the kitchen table and chairs that they've been storing in the basement. And Tina gave me some things she's had in her closet for years, like the navy pea coat- yay! My parents said they are setting me up to live on my own in a year- that was a hint if I ever heard one.
Then the rest of saturday was spent in Austin, MN (home of the Spam museum!) with my Uncle Chuck, Aunt Janet, and my cousins Matt and Madison. Janet and my mom and I went shopping and I now have a salmon sweater set (heck yeah, thats got teacher written all over it), a kahki skirt, a cute green shirt, and two pairs of shoes (flats) wooo! Heck yeah sales! Then we all went swimming and went to dinner. Madison (4 yr old) decided she was going to brush my hair with one of those round/spiral brushes while I was giving my uncle a backrub and not paying attention- and successfully got it stuck in my hair very nicely- it took my aunt a half an hour to get it out. They talked about cutting it out, but that would have ruined my chances ofr locks of love. haha.
And now I'm back in Ames, wasting time until work ends for the day. I thought my stories were more interesting than they appear... sorry, they seem kinda lame now, haha. Over and out.

[Link] | Exciting news: I Passed all my classes this summer!! Wooooo hooo! Oh, color me excited! I got a C in math, but you know what that means? I'll never have to take that damn class ever again! YES!
In other news, yesterday was very interesting here at the tickets office. There was a guy here, his name was Steven, who was interviewing for my boss Jared's job. Everyone in my office was in and out of meetings with him all day. Justin, who is also in my office, interviewed two days ago for Jared's job- so it was funny that he got to be a part of this new guys interview. And they didn't really like him- he's been at any one job for a max of three years- so who knows how long they would stay here at ISU.
Also yesterday, Dining Service at ISU messed up an order- I guess they made the food a day early for a meeting of 120 people- but because it was already made and they didn't want to waste it, everyone in the athletic building got free food for lunch. Heck yes, free BBQ. So I was happy, yay food. Stupid ISU Dining.
Ok, thats all I got. I'm excited for a week in Minnesota next week, and I have three new books from the library to read, woo hoo. Fun times!

[Link] | Dun dun dun, and ISU Orientation has begun. Oh what a wonderful time of year, when new students and parents wander aimlessly through campus trying to get from one meeting to the next, and best of all when they try to purchase their football season tickets. Yes, Ladies and Gentleman, that is correct, I will again be the friendly face at orientation representing the Ticket Office, and hearding the lost sheep in the correct direction as they purchase tickets online. Of course, the first day of the ISU Fair in the Great Hall is not until Friday- when I have a wedding in Omaha, so I'll miss day one, and my Marketing counterparts will get to fill in. Luckily, if they proove worthy, and have no problems with me gone, I won't ever have to go. But I'll bet $50 that they will request my presence by Wednesday of next week. haha Nonetheless, I will still get to see the wonderful freshman as they heard to the ticket office to get their questions answered. Oh, and for all of you students who had been interested in tickets for the Iowa game this fall- all the student tickets have already been sold, so your out of luck. Bwahaha, what power I posses.
In other news, I'm greatly sadened to hear that my favorite Today Show Host Katie Currick had her last day today. Thats sad. I love the Today Show, though I havent seen it in ages. At least my Matt Lauer is still around. And Al and Anne of course.
Ok, my ranting of the day is over. You probobly won't hear such high spirited words of the new freshman after a few weeks of orientation. haha

[Link] | Wow, how sad is life when I've sat here at work all day surfing the internet just to keep myself busy. And now the only thing I have left to do is lj. I'm starting to hate computers and how they magically get me sucked into their spell. I've checked my webmail, facebook, gmail, hotmail, and livejournal countless times today- so many that I couldn't count them on my fingers and toes. I've even looked up apartments for Todd- even though I'm not the one apartment searching, I've looked up recipies for dinner- though right now it looks like celery and peanut butter is on the menu, and I've even looked at engagements rings online. Dear lord, I'm so damn bored. There's only so much internet surfing i can do without wanting to hurt myself.
In the 4 hours I've been at work I've taken one order for season tickets, and I answered the phone twice. Damn, now thats busy. I even vacuumed- but that only took me 15 minutes. On top of that I still have an hour to waste. Kill me now. Of course I could and should be doing homework, but seeing as my math teacher has not covered enough material this week for me to feel that I fully understand even a fraction of chapter 2, I can't really do anything until I actually learn something. And in that case I suppose I could teach myself, seeing as I will be gone all weekend in Minnesota and I won't have time to do my homework then- but alas I am lazy, and I prefer for teachers to do the teaching when I am paying a rediculus amount of money for two summer classes.
Such is life. Summer blows. Yes it's nice because I don't have so many classes, and I have more time to work- but dear lord. I need to be hella busy in order to get anything accomplished at all. I should be out tanning, or doing something entirely too girly at the beach- because it's summer. Ugh. Of course I would never be cought dead tanning, because I am not at all like normal girls. I've known that for a while, but last week after hearing horror stories from guys I know about their ex-horrible girlfriends, I've decided that I'm entirely too easy going to be girly at all. I don't wear makeup. I don't bitch and complain (unless I'm extremely too fed up- but that takes a lot). I'm what you call Extremely Low Maintenence. Not just low maintenence- EXTREMELY Low Maintenece. Todd got off easy. haha
So this has turned into quite the rant about nothing in general. I love that. For all of you who are reading this, I apologize- there is absolutely no reason you should be reading this, unless of course you get a kick out of me being slightly irrate and extremely sarcastic.
Oh, and by the way, do not see the movie "Hostle." Ever. It was creepy, and weird and extremely fucked up. I mean FUCKED UP. Especially when innocent vacationers are lured into a trap, where they are handed over to be slaughtered by rich businessmen who get off on torturing people to death. Oh yeah, one guy gets his acheles tendons ripped in half after being drilled through his knees and shoulders with a six inch screw. I repeat, never see that movie. It was a bonus watching it with my boyfriend- minus the fact that he kept trying to scare me during the movie. The best part was when I had to drive home from Todds in the dark, with my imagination running wild. And then when I got to my apartment the elevator wouldn't let me select the 4th floor, until I chose the 5th floor and it decided to magically decide to switch 5th floor for 4th floor- WAY WEIRD. It kinda freaked me out.
Enough of that. After having wasted a good half an hour writing this, I will now go back to checking my e-mail repeatedly for the next twenty minutes until I get off work. I hope everyone is having a fun summer!!

[Link] | Oh fun times. For all of you who havent heard yet, Todd and I are now officially a couple. Aww, how cute. Ok anyway, there will prolly be more about that later. As for now, the interesting stuff is me living with Tom. Last night after getting back from my West Wing Finale party, Greg wasn't home and the door to Tom's room was shut and the lights were out, so I assumed he was gone for the evening. So I sit in my room for a half an hour doing random things, and then I decide to go to the living room and watch some tv and relax a bit, and call Sarah to chat. So I call Sarah, and she's like, "hey hun are you downstairs?", and I was like "no, I'm in my apartment- wait a minute". Yeah thats right, she and Tom were upstairs watching a movie. She started laughing and I could hear her upstairs- the turd. So this will turn out to be interesting. Because for however much I love my Poe, and we are best friends, and we'll get to hang out a lot this summer- I think I will find myself invading their space and their alone time. But whatever. I don't want things to be weird- but they will be, and there's not much I can do about that. Ok, I'm done.

[Link] | Ok, I'm taking a quick break from studying in order to save my sanity from the depths of math history. Dear Lord. There are a lot of facts I need to know for this test- I still have 2 chapters of questions to go through before my test tomorrow, and then I need to find time to study all of that before then. I also have to outline and find sources for my essay/midterm in multicultural education tomorrow morning. And of course I have class tonight, and it's my 415 requirement, so I have to go. I'm going to be studying all night(after class) for my two midterms tomorrow, and then studying all night thursday(after drumline) for my midterm on friday. Bitches. I just need to breathe- I'm sure it will work out fine. And then thank god for 'wake up on the stove night'- cause I have a feeling I'll need to release some of this tension. Holy shit, I'm going crazy!! Ok, back to finding how Diophantus handled questions dealing with more than one unknown...

[Link] | Ok after re-reading my last post, I'm slightly amused by it. Haha. Is it bad that not only can I laugh in the face of someone else's misfortune, but that I can laugh in the face of my own misfortune? Meh, whatever.
Lauren dear, I had fun driving you drunkies around- really, it was entertaining. It was my brother's drunken stupidity that I didn't enjoy. It's odd, but I don't mind being the DD- mostly because I don't trust anyone else enough to keep me safe. so I will probobly never get very drunk, ever, in my entire life. I've seen how my brother gets when he's drunk, and it's not that he's a mean drunk, but he just makes stupid decisions. Anyway...
Bring on the labotomie! I'll volunteer for the experimental operation and become the next female Frankenstein. Tee hee hee I'm just kidding- I was just drowning in my own sorrow yesterday, but I'm much better now. It's a new day- and everyday you have the power to change the outcome, so I decided today would be a good day. Ok enough of my new teachery-philosophical-attitude-of-goodness. My one ed class is rubbing off a bit, as you can see.

[Link] | Ok, so the Houston Bowl was great. We had tons of fun, and if you want a full listing of the things we did read Lauren's journal. Haha I'm lazy.
Classes this semester are in a wide range- from my ed class which inspires me to want to be a teacher, to my boring history of math class which I could potentially fall asleep in everyday, to my multicultural ed class that I already hate because there is so much work to be done. Oh well, I suppose thats life.
Last night were Groove Auditions, which I am happy to say I still have my spot on the line. We have a line of 5 basses this semester and we are all returning, so thus it will be a good line and we'll have some fun. I'm excited to be around my wonderful bunch of boys again, and yet I know already that I'll be extremely busy. I think we have anywhere from 15 to 20 gigs planned for this semester already. Eh, but again, this was my choice.
I guess this semester will be like every other one so far- I have not yet failed in getting my schedule packed to the brim with things I have to do. Which reminds me that I should be doing homework, but oh well. So with the combination of classes, homework, working, and groove- I'm thinking I don't have time to sleep, let alone socialize with people. So if you don't see a lot of me, I apologize, and if you want to do something you may have to drag me away from my schoolbooks- but every now and then I guess it's not a bad thing.
This is a shout out to my Stephipoo in New Hampshire. I hope you had a great New Years and I'm sorry that I haven't gotten the chance to call you back yet.

[Link] | Nothin beats fallin' down the icey steps on a cold Christmas morning... yeah you betcha! After having toothpaste spilled on my gray pinstripes, and changing pants in order to go to church, I then fall down the steps in front of the house and go to church with a wet ass anyway. great. So my back hurts a bit, and my hip's a lil bit sore- but I'm still good, right? haha
Other than that, no new animals have been sighted, as long as you don't count my family- though two more mice were found yesterday. I've now been reminded why it's so much fun to be with my family for the Holidays, and also why they are so damn annoying. Exciting times in Minnesota. I got some awesome stuff for Christmas- and incredibly everything I got were things I had wanted, and it's all cool stuff. Success is mine. I think I've eaten too much sugar, but that's my own fault, and I should know better- but hell, it's christmas, right? So everyone enjoy the rest of break while it lasts, and I'll be sure to do that same. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I'm off for my real vacation starting wednesday at Lauren's Woooo hoooo... Houston Bowl here we come!

[Link] | Woo hoo, Christmas Eve is in like ten minutes! Ok, so like I said this is the season of updates which will shortly be followed by a dry spell with months were I don't say a damn thing.
So funny story, I'm in Minesota at my grandparents house, and we played cards all night like my family always does. I headed to the basement to check out what kinda of pop they had, and to my surprise as I turned on the light and took one step down into the basement- I heard squeeking coming from below. So as the light light flickers on, there at the bottom of the staircase appears 3 live mice stuck onto a sticky mouse trap. Yeah Three! Damn. So of course the rest of the night my family is talking about the mice in the house, Hahaha. Fun times.
Other than that I really have nothing to update. Lets just see what other kinds of animals I can find over break. I've heard that my grandparents used to have bats...

[Link] | I passed all my classes!! Yay! Holy crap, I mean I expected to at least pass them, but whats funny is that in reality I did better in geometry than I did in algebra, and I thought those two grades should be swapped- but hell I'll take it. I passed!
On another note, I got a card from my aunt in the mail today- which is hilarious. On thanksgiving she and I bet on horses on the last race of the day, but we had to leave to eat dinner so we didn't see the results, so yeah thats right, my horse won and she was sending me my reward money. HAHAHA And note that said "NOT THAT I'M ENCOURAGING GAMBLING" haha I love Kathy.
Ok, thiafternoon I'm going up to the high school, which should be entertaining. A girl I know from drumline in HS called me and asked if I would help her practice for her audition for the Colts. I feel appreciated. So I'm evidentally helping a whole clan of kids that are auditiongs from the high school. Haha And I'm gonna go bother Brejcha is he's there too. ;)

The Lost Prince
Ok, time for the season of random updates. I know I know, I never update- and then I go through a spurt of updating a lot- but it's break and I have time, so sue me. (or don't, please) Let's see I've been thinking a lot lately- I know, what a crazy thought- and no it didn't hurt... I've decided that I don't have time for boys. I know that I came to that conclusion in my last two posts, but it's just been reconfirmed again. It's just that now that classes are done, I've had time to sit and simmer over my thoughts. One reason is that I really need to stop thinking every guy I meet is potential- I know deep down inside that that is true. Yes, I talked with Peter online last week- just to be friendly, and I really meant nothing by it other than to get to know him. But I've realized it's been a crazy time of year- so during finals was not the time to try to get to know someone. And also if something is gonna happen, it will eventually. Now that this semester is over, and spring semester will be starting soon, you would think that things would be hecktic the first few weeks, getting back into the groove of things, and then things would simmer down- but really my semester will be hecktic the whole time. And I thought last semester was busy. Next semester I will have 6 classes, work, GROOVE, and my historian duties. So pretty much, add GROOVE on top of last semester, and you got me all booked up. My weekends from now till May will probobly be planned for me, since Groove has gigs almost every weekend in the spring. For example auditions are January 12th(thursday) and we have one more rehersal before our first gig(Dance Marathon) and then the following wednesday we play at a womens basketball game. Great. So I'll have night rehersals and all my weekends are gone, which means no time to do anything except barely getting homework accomplished. Oh yeah, and on top of that I may have to try and observe some for my teaching classes too. Wooo.
I've also decided that the man of my dreams, aka Prince Charming, is going to be someone that knows everything about me. Like a best friend, who looks at you and can laugh because they know exactly what thought is crossing your mind. He's going to like my random and stupid ideas, and be able to laugh at my wierdness. I also plan on being able to ballroom dance with said Prince, because I love it. And though I don't wear makeup and I'm definately not a girly girl, I am still a hopeless romantic and my favorite fairytale is Cinderella. (which I just got for christmas on DVD!!!)
The thought came to mind a few days ago, that I can see myself in the not-so-distant future(meaning in like 2 years from now), becoming a teacher in a little podunk Iowa town, and sitting alone in my apartment doing crosswords at night after grading math tests. No doubt it could happen. I'll be stranded away from humanity, well other than the teenager's at the high school where I work, all alone and dateless. My life will be the drama of my students at school, and the girls who will talk to me about having crushes on boys and use me as their personal confidant, and all the comradory of the teachers in the math department(I really hope my future co-workers are fun people). Now is the perfect time to find my aforementioned Prince, but yet it doesn't look very promising. I've got a year and a half, more like a year since my last semester will be student teaching, more like one semester since next semester will be Groove, and in that one semester I better be having crazy fun. For that matter, even though I know next semester is crazy, I really want to have crazy fun next semester too, and not get bogged down. So Cheers to the busiest time of our lives. (and cheers to (without looking) running into my Prince)

Thanksgiving Break Randomschtuff
Ok, so while break was nice, it was extremely busy, and I'm glad to be back. Here's a bit of a synopsis of my break, with a few random fun things added:
So it begins with going to Harry Potter Friday of break- it was awesome- enough said. Then I went again saturday with Sarah, yeah, it was still good. Let's see, I worked at tht ticket office Monday through Wednesday, which was fun doing all the bowl orders. Side note- it's sad that we lost the game today alomost winning the Big XII North, but it's good cause it saves me a lot of work at the ticket office this week. Monday night I got nothing accomplished, and instead watched a movie with Todd, and Tuesday night I hung out with Benji and Mal, fun fun. Wednesday I went up to Minnesota, and Thursday had two Thanksgiving dinners. Yes thats right TWO. Went to the farm to visit my dads family for lunch and had all the fixins: turkey, corn on the cob, potatoes and gravy, yams, cranberry salad, green bean caserole, everything you could imagine and blueberry pie. Then went back to Fairmont for dinner with my moms parents and my aunt Kathy and uncle Jim from Georgia- turkey, taters and gravy, cranberry sauce, everything and then pumpkin and ruhbarb pie. I was so full I could have survived without eating for the next three days.
Friday I went shopping in Mankato with my aunt Janet and my little cousin Madison and my Mom. Wow, what a day. Why the hell did we take a three year old shopping on the busiest shopping day of the year? We started out at 8am and went till around 7pm. Damn. The day involved my mom pushing Madison around the mall in the stroler, standing in long lines just to get the $5 deal before noon at bath and body works, me being attacked my static everytime I tried on a sweater, seeing my friend Mal who goes to Iowa in the Mall in Mankato haha, having a 'wiggle party' with Madison in front of the three mirrors at Christopher Banks while our mothers shopped, playing hide and seek in the clothing racks with Madison, me taking Madison on the MerryGoRound so she could ride her chershed Zebra, and in the end few of the things perchased were Christmas presents. Oops. After the mall we drove to a few dozen other stores, which invloved me having to strap and unstrap Madison from the car seat twice as many times. Needless to say I was a bit pooped when we were done. Then we had pizza with my dad and his brothers, and I was introduced to a wondeful drink- Irish cream and cream soda- GOOD STUFF mmm.
One cute story: we were leaving a fabric store(Oh, come on you think we could go shopping with my mother for a day and miss the sales at a fabric store? right!) and there was a huge puddle in the parking lot about 5x8 ft. There were three highschool/college aged kids (two girls one guy) who were walking towards the strip mall and the first girl and the guy jump the puddle and left the second girl behind. Well, it looked like she didn't want to get her new shoes wet, so the guy jumps back over the puddle, picks her up all cutely and carries her right over the puddle. So maybe it's just me, but it reminded me of the old days when a guy would lay down his jacket over a puddle so a beautiful woman could walk across and not get wet. I thought it was sweet.
Other random things: It was great to hang out with Jim and Kathy. So it's tradition for my aunt to bet on horses on Thanksgiving, so yes, I joined her on the computer and bet a few races with her, haha. Every night we were at my grandparents house my dad, grandpa, uncle, brother, and I played hearts. It was so much fun. Being loud and obnoxious in the kitchen and annoying the crap out of them when passing cards- for all of you who have played hearts you know how annoying or evil you can be. Bwahaha. I noticed how much I remember watching KARE 11 News during the holiday season- I love when their weather man goes outside to do the forecast. I also noticed cute things like my grandpa talking to my grandma and saying "Alright Tomata..." and my dad saying "Ok my love" to my mom. It's just cute things like that that you don't often pay notice to. I saw the Jolly Green Giant on the way past Blue Earth both times- he doesn't have his big red winter scarf on yet.
Now I'm back and I need to get to work on homework, since I've gotten nothing done all of break. Tomorrow should be interesting- sleeping, doing homework, grocery shopping, and sharing more and more fun stories with people about break. Gutten Abend.

Contact craziness
So in the past week I've visited my eye doctor 3 times, and yes thats right- I'm currently wearing contacts. How wierd is that? Evidentally my astigmatism has gotten a bit worse, and I was interested in contacts, so for the next two weeks I get to test these out and see how I like them. The wierd thing?- I'm not seeing as clearly. It sounds odd, but my vision is kind of blurred sometimes, and everyone I've talked to who has contacts has said that thats not right. So I'm thinkin' theres got to be something wrong with this picture. But whatever, we'll see.
Other than that, there's not much to update. I had fun last night hanging out with Benji and Mal. it's amazing- last year during break I did nothing with anyone, and this year I've been as busy as a bumble bee. Which reminds me and need to get my little bee ass moving and pack- cause I leave for minnesota in an hour or so. Happy Turkey Day!

[Link] | Wow, you know I don't even know who reads this, but you're in for a story. Just realize that as I'm sitting at work so I'll have to probobly cut down on what I say here...
So Friday night was exciting. It seems like every weekend we could make a TV show called "Adventures with Tom", because yes- we again had some wild times. We went to the ISU Afterdark movie, The Longest Yard, which I have to admit is not such a bad movie, I rather liked it. On the way home, Tom Becker Lauren and I got a bit sidetracked on central campus, and we were going to look at the stars. After of course I got running tackled by Tom and slid 6 feet on the dewy grass. Well, as we all layed on blankets looking at the stars, Lauren bet Tom to go anti-campinielling(how the hell do you spell that?) and of course he did. It was interesting times with him running naked from Curtis to Beardshear, until of course the cops pulled up. And then it became a bit of a rescue mission, with me trying to find tom who was hiding in the bushes. Wow, fun times. Yet very exciting.
That was the most exciting part of the weekend, other than working, ISU losing to baylor, and tailgating with the best family in the world! Oh yeah, and it was great to celebrate Lauren's dad's birthday, and andrew's birthday too! and of course having a movie marathon/dance party all day in the living room with Lauren on sunday. Ahh what a good weekend. And next weekend will be great too!
----Edit----
And all my love to Dani, the best ever woman's rugby player in the world. I failed to mention previously that I got to hang out with Dani Friday evening while she washed the wonderous Rugby jerseys at our apartment. It was wonderful to see her, considering I can't just walk down the hall anymore to visit. We ordered Pizza too...Mmm- even though it took about two hours for us to decide what the hell to eat. Not that I'm comlaining...grr. lol And she of course went with us to the movie, which was more funness. I really hope to see her again sooner than later...maybe even next friday at beckers...I hope I hope.

[Link] | So this weekend was FANTABULOUS!! It was just a blast! I got absolutely nothing accomplished as far as schoolwork goes, and it was great. I stayed up all night with Tom and Becker just talking about anything and everything, and Tom played guitar for us! And he was wearing a HOT shirt. Heck yeah men with muscles wearing hot black shirts. We decided to stay up in order to watch the sunrise. So we did. We walked around campus, and Tom and I layed in the middle of an intersection to watch the traffic lights change(like in the Notebook)(becker wouldn't do it, chicken), Tom and I jumped in the the fountain by Howe Hall and splashed around a bit- this all occuring at the wee hours of the morning, mind you. It was soo much fun. We watched the sunrise, I made them breakfast, and then I drove home and went to bed. Then after sleeping all day I went to the Green Day concert with Benji, Ben, and Pat. That was GREAT! So what if we sat in the balcony, we were THERE. And it was a blast. What a crazy weekend. Then Sunday I watched movies with my momma, and made her food. After coming back to ISU, we had Oreo dinner at Ali's, and watched another movie. What a fun filled weekend. I LOVED it. Bring on a weekend that can do better than that! Now I have to do homework...
