So I keep stealing these from Biss but I can't help myself. I think they are kind of fun and I love Christmas! Maybe I will even make a real update soon since I haven't since the summer, but let's not get too ambitious.
| You Are Vixen | 
Sexy and sultry, you're the one all the other reindeer dream about.
Why You're Naughty: That fur pulling spat you got into with Dancer over Santa.
Why You're Nice: Because even when you're nice, you're still delightfully naughty! |

| Your Christmas is Most Like: Miracle on 34th Street | 
Sweet and caring, Christmas is about helping for you.
While Santa may not exist, you try to share his spirit. |
This is my favorite time of year. For some reason I feel like I'm more excited than usual. I just love the Christmas season. There is something about it that is still so magical. And I'm so excited about going home. Only a few more days... |

I had a really good night last night. Went out for like the second time this summer. I honestly don't know why I don't go out (Jay's house doesn't count) more often. I always seem to have a great time. Tonight is Montreal with Lisa and Faith so that should be interesting. Ricky really made me upset last night with something he said, then made me upset with something he did. Sometimes I really hate all males. And then things were okay. I actually think I LET IT GO. Well there's a first for me. Besides Ricky and Gregg are leaving for Iraq in two weeks. That really depresses me and I keep thinking it isn't going to happen. Their best friend who is serving over there just got shot really badly and is in critical condition in Iraq. That is the same unit Gregg is going to and Ricky volunteered for but I guess he is going somewhere different. I just hope the next 18 months go by quickly and safely. Support your troops.
I'm in one of those weird states where I don't know how I feel / don't know what to do about anything. I've been avoiding an akward conversation with Connor. And a conversation with Joe I really don't want to have. I'm going to have to put my foot down at some point, but a large part of me really doesn't want to. I just have these three major situations that need to be dealt with and if/when they are someone will end up hurt, or upset, or unhappy. I mean I guess that is life and it will keep on rollin regardless of what I do. I guess I really just want classes to start again. I need to be busy and have real stuff to do, and that way I'm working towards some kind of goal or something. I need to have grades like I had last semester again. And I'm taking a class at Champlain so maybe I will meet some new people, or at least a new type of person because I'm still convinced UVM-ers are their own breed of people. I need to be more social. That would probably have prevented the biggest of my issues. Maybe if I am more social it can repair that issue as well?
I'm really thankful for my friends in 4-15. Despite when they come across as being shallow or flakey, they are actually real people underneath. And they are all so good to me. Plus they know I'm crazy and are still friends with me! Imagine that. And I'm the only girl that goes over there that doesn't have some ridiculous nickname. It is just sometimes I'm glad I have those guys around because I know if I really needed them they'd be there. So even though they make decisions that I would never make and they do things that I don't agree with and the fact that sometimes I want to punch some of them in the face, I'm glad that I have them here. Besides a handful of other random people, they are really my only friends here. |

I finally have my room set up the way I wnat it, and it is clean! Yay! I ordered some posters and i'm starting to get some more stuff up on the walls so that it looks like someone lives here.
So the transportation gods hate me. I have a flat tire. Don't know how. But really thats awesome. So the donut is on it now. so i think that is the 4th car i've gotten a flat on. so today i went for a bike ride. got down to the waterfront and bam my pedal falls off. and i need a new one. and new brake pads. may as well just invest in a new bike.
so i've got my legs. and im not complaining about that.
and an akward situation with a friend who likes me to deal with.

Andrea: Bite me
Chris: Thats what my sandwich says to me. does your food say that to you too?

I get the award for having the most ridiculous cry ever. I've been feeling really stressed and I don't know why. I had to get a new ID card because mine was broken. But they couldn't read the whole bar code so they tried to charge me $20 for a lost card instead. And then I started hysterically crying. Basically she gave it to me for free because she was able to figure it out or something. But I think she was just being nice. And then I started crying again because I really appreciated it. I have cried in far too many buildings on this campus. I think the ID card office is the best one yet though. Like I'm sure other people have cried in financial aid too, but getting an ID card. I obviously am unstable. |

WARNING! ANGRY ENTRY AHEAD. PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION!
Consider yourself warned.
So
I worked today. That was happy. I honestly love the people
I work with. They are all so nice. I also stopped in to
visit everyone at my workstudy job today. Also a nice group of
people. All day I have been in a great mood. Tonight is my
first real night working with Denali ( the autistic girl) and I'm
really excited for that. So I'm in a pretty damn great mood which
I've been in lately.
So I wash everyones dishes.
AND I put them away. Because washing is one thing but getting
them put away literally NEVER happens. I make some fudgicles and
some ice tea. Things are still great. I get super motivated
and mow the lawn. Our landlord will only do it once a month and I
hate having long grass. I just want to sit out there and
read. Not only do I mow the lawn (for us and the people who live
in the other part of the duplex) but I raked and threw away all of the
shavings. We have this like wooden boarder on our yard where you
can't mow the grass. We have nothing to cut it with so I sat out
there for literally an hour sweating balls while I cut every piece of
grass and weeds that was on the boarder. This has probably never
been done. And I did it with a regular pair of scissors.
Now I'm hot which makes me prone to irritability. But hey at
least we have the best damn looking lawn on the street. And then
I go to pick Joe up in my car that lacks air conditioning. It is
hot. There is traffic. I'm borderline pissed . I am
extremely moody when I get too hot. At least I can admit
it. So we get back home. I show Joe my fantastic
lawn. I'm feeling really satisfied because I just did a lot for
this place. Now here is where it gets good. I should
probably change names to protect the guilty but I am so mad I don't
care. Besides they will probably never find this.
Gardner comes down from his AIR
CONDITIONED ROOM after he has hard day sitting on his butt. He
insults my room where a "tornado hit". Umm hello dumbass I'm
moving my furniture around and I already told you I needed help lifting
shit. Hence the reason Joe and I are in here moving stuff
around. Then he goes to me (mind you he has seen and NOT
aknowledged anything I have done) "Trash goes out on Tuesday
mornings. I've had to take it out the past few times. I told
Scott too. So one of you can do it" WHOA WHOA WHOA. EXCUSE
ME. I'M SORRY YOU CANT MOVE THE CAN TO THE FRONT YARD. AND
WHAT ABOUT BETH. SHE CAN'T TAKE THE TRASH OUT EITHER? WHY
BECAUSE SHE IS YOUR GIRLFRIEND? WELL FUCK YOU. I will bring the
damn trash out (which I was actually planning on doing anyway if you
had waited and let me ask you what day the g-damn trash went out.
And the only reason I'm going to do that is because I want the
recycling to go. That and I'm a pussy and too scared to stand up
for my self. Well guess what Gardner. I hope you like
washing dishes. Because you are washing all of mine for the
rest of my life. And I hope there is no toilet paper in the
bathroom the next time you take a shit.
Don't get me wrong. I don't
mind doing things around here at all. The topic could have been
approached more nicely if it really was an issue. Plus I was hot and
irritated and I had already done so much. Or maybe I'm just a
bitch.
On a lighter note...
One of the women who work at my
workstudy job told me a funny bad roommate story. She was living
with her 3 best friends but they each got male sloppy subletters for
the summer. Little did she know that one of them was throwing his
trash in the basement because he was too lazy to take it out. (I might
copy him on this one). Anyway she came home one day to a sign
written on cardboard that was hanging on the basement door and said 'DO
NOT GO IN THE BASEMENT. THERE IS A SKUNK DOWN THERE. THIS
IS NOT A JOKE." So she asked her roommate about it and he was
like yeah there is a skunk in the basement and I just wanted to warn
everyone. So she asked how and why a skunk would be in the
basement. The how he wasn't so sure on. But he was pretty
positive he was down there to eat all the trash he had thrown down
there. She was less than thrilled. Good move buddy.
And on that note I'm out to go work job 2.

| pet peeves galore |
[Jul. 17th, 2005|09:41 pm] |
| [ | Did you feel that? |
| | aggravated | ] |
So I have realized that I have far more pet peeves than I ever imagined. Most of it has to do with the fact that I live with the world's dumbest people. First of all after offering like 10 times to bring a couch that I had they told me not to. Well come to find out, at the end of August we no longer have living room furniture. Good job, idiots. When I had a van that I brought all of my stuff up in I could've brought it up. I'm not renting something else to transport it up here now. Way to think ahead.
Call me a hippie but I like to recycle. Now my idiot roommates also like to recycle. Only they like to recycle things that clearly can't be recycled. Any carboard that is coated so you can put it in the fridge, like orange juice or milk quarts, can't be recycled here. That is literally the only thing they try to recycle. Whereas I will find tuna fish cans and even beer bottles in the garbage. And yes, I then remove those items and place them in their proper bin. And the beer cans and bottles I keep for myself. I don't know about you but I'm poor and I'll take 5 cents wherever I can get it. Oh and then after all is said and done they will take out the trash, but not the recycling, which goes out at the same time. So our recycling has been overflowing for weeks now. Granted, I could take the recycling out. But 1. I dont know what day that stuff goes out and 2. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO LAZY. DO IT ALL DAMN IT!
I hate washing dishes. I think everyone does. I also like to eat off of clean dishes. So after I eat off of them I wash them. Now in the beginning I would put my stuff in the sinkn and when the sink got full I would wash them. Then I realized that I was doing an awful lot of washing and no one else does. So now immediately after I make or eat something I will wash wahterver I use, even if it is just a fork or a cup. Scott now does this also. Somehow the other 2 housemates still don't get it. I also don't think one of them gets social cues at all, but that is another story for another day.
And now for my last ridiculously stupid pet peeve. I used to hate it when the toilet paper was hanging on the roll and it came out under the roll. It should go over. I'm convinced. And yes it still bothers me, but I don't care that much, as long as the toilet paper is on the roll, or as long as there is toilet paper in teh bathroom at all. Now I am literally the only person in the house who will replace the toilet paper. And it isn't like a far walk to get some more. I leave extra rolls in the bathroom and people are too lazy to even unwrap them. How freaking lazy can you be??? And if you want it placed on the actual holder, forget it. I have to do that to. I have honestly put rolls in the bathroom and people will use tissues until I open it and hangn it. I just don't understand this and it is starting to piss me off.
Anyway things have been pretty good lately. I went for a 20+ mile bike ride the other day. Which was probably more miles than I've ever been on my bike in my whole life. Such incredible views. And I saw the largest fish in the lake that I have ever seen in their natural habitat (like not in an aquarium). And I got another job taking care of an Autistic 13 year old girl for a couple of hours a week. I'm hoping that this is more fufilling than anything I have done recently. I'm really excited about it.
This summer is absolutely flying by. I can't believe we are more than halfway through July. |

I love livejournal. I forgot how much I missed this thing. It is too bad I have nothing exciting to update about. I did make some amazing fudgicles today. If you come and visit me I will make you one. Apparently that is the extent of my culinary skill. So the new plan is BS in Psych/Bio and then Texas. Insert a handsome cowboy and we all live happily ever after. I swam in the fountain today and the sprinklers on the green. I love sprinklers. And I love supersoakers. I want to have a giant supersoaker fight. Remember your first super soaker. Mine could like spray once before you had to reload. Now they come with like 50 gallon drums to store water in. I just put new sheets on my bed. Then I spilled couscous on it. Everyone should eat more couscous. It has the best texture. I'm sure everyone is thrilled about this update. I am thrilled about summer in Burlington. But it is going by too quickly and there is still so much to do. Tomorrow is riding the bike trail TO the beach. Instead of just driving to the beach. yeah. I'm pumped. Oh and it is now completely impossible for me to fall asleep without the tv on. which is really awesome. I bet my roommates will love that electric bill. mwhaha. yay for the sleep timer. this also means that I am completely incapable of watching a movie without falling asleep. It literally took me a week to watch When Harry Met Sally because I would fall asleep everytime. I didn't get to finish Tremors because I already had it out for a week and it still wasn't done. Go team Jess. Oh and I will get the gift of vision back starting August 1st! Yay for new glasses. And now time for some background noise and sleep.

ah yes. It appears I have spoke too soon. we're headed downhill again. orientation was dumb like most are. and now i'm not even getting the number of hours they promised me. this wouldn't be a huge deal but i do have to pay rent. which wouldn't be a huge deal because somehow i have managed to accumulate quite a bit of money recently. but wait what is this? a $315 bill for taxes on my car!! awesome! there goes that money. and that with the lack of hours means no way to afford car payment, rent and utilities this month. sweeet. so i decide im sick of being blind and i'm going to get some new freaking glasses since mine have been missing for 2 months. no can do. insurance won't cover it until august. cool. oh and my debit card keeps getting rejected. why? because banknorth sent my new card to my home address. all of my mail is getting forwarded. apparently they don't forward that stuff. so they sent it back to banknorth who put a hold on my account for having an incorrect address. awesome. i'll just write checks. nope i won't because you can't write a freaking check in this state without a vermont ID. freakin' a.
oh and there are some people on this planet who deserve to be strangled. seeing as they are the main contributors to this rollercoaster i've been on lately. i'm sick of having my mind and heart messed with. and to think about how much i do for them makes it that much worse. i guess my weakness really is that i care too much. |
