runaway doggie

While I was waiting for my mom to pick me up from ITT today, I happened to see a stray dog out in the parking lot. So I went outside, managed to grab it's collar and pulled it over to the school's sidewalk. My friends came outside then, all 10 of them, to look at the doggie ^^;

It was a old, female golden retriver and had 3 tags. One which read "I am fat, not lost, do not feed me, I will go home" O_o; What the hell kind of tag is that exactly? Anyways, one of my friends said he'd take the dog to the address on one of the tags after we tried calling the number and got no answer. Well, when they got the dog, "Goldie", to the car, they made the mistake of letting her collar go. And then started the great chase... Around the entire ITT building by about 5 people. -_-; They finally caught her and drove off with her in the back seat.

I must now go make myself some sugar cookies because I am feeling sugar-deprived.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.

Opened Sorcerers of the Nightwing: The Ravenscliff Series by Geoffrey Huntington and here's the sentence: "I think I've told you too many stories about our ghosts," she says.

And I finished buying everyone cards. Now I just need to get my mom something from the Emporium, Ashley some pocky, and I haven't thought of anything yet for my brother, dad, and Mary. Hey Mary, give me a list of stuff you want! I need ideas! *huggles*

anniversary thing

I was forced to go to church today because of my grandparent's anniversary party... >_< And this church has those people in it that like to have 'book burnings'. But I managed to stay away from the over-religous group by helping set up the food and making punch for an hour. We had to serve over 200 people. About 30 minutes before everyone was suppossed to show up though, my dad started having chest pains. He said his heart felt like it was fluttering and we had him lay down. He had forgotten to take his heart medicine earlier, so he took that and was fine a few minutes later. It still scared us all a bit though...

And now I have to study for my Programming test tomorrow... Which I will probably fail because I'm exhausted and won't comprehend anything while studying. Hopefully it'll be open book like last time.

My revised list of things to get people since I'm running low on cash:
Cards: Mary, Julie, Brad, Mom, Dad, Amanda, Owlrain, Jeff, Brad(older)
Gifts: Julie, Amanda, Karen, Mary, Brad, Mom, Dad, Ashley

grades, brownies, and hate mail, oh my!

Yes! After 12 years of school, I've finally made straight A's on my report card! :3 And to add to my cheeriness, my Mel-chan and I are going to a school play tonight. But before that I'm going to have to help my mom bake several dozens of brownies for my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary. They already had one about a week ago, but that one was only for family. At least I get to eat the brownie batter.

This X-Mas is going to suck, mainly because my family is having finacial difficulties right now... I usually get a combined 25 gifts for x-mas and my b-day, but this year I'll probably only get a total of 10 if I'm lucky. But oh well, I don't want much this year except for my friends to be here... and maybe some spending cash >_>; *is greedy*

Hmn, interesting, I was just interrupted writing my post when my mom handed me a printed e-mail addressed to my dad's boss from one of my dad's clients. The client wrote a lot of crap that downgraded my dad. He was saying that when he asked for some replacement equipment, my dad charged him $10 (oh my god, not $10 dollars! *rolls eyes*). Does he think we get the equipmnet for free? If he does, he's a gravely mistaken dumbass. He then started comparing my dad to some guy off 'Green Acres' who always charged too much. And after reading it I have only one thing to say to the fucktard: Better not order anyhting else from us >_<. And the funny thing is, when he e-mailed my dad's boss, he stated that he didn't want his name to be mentioned to my dad because of this e-mail. Hmn, well it's too bad my dad's boss is on our side then, isn't it? *smashes*

I just ordered Kozi's new single, 'Memento' XD *squee* But the shipping cost 1500 yen and the cd was only 1200.... oh well, at least I can listen to my Kozi-kun, even if he is overpriced *snuggles*

Well our cat came walking up to the door this morning... covered in mud. And her paws are all screwed up. But at least she's not dead! ^_^ When she came in she just drank a bit of water, and then started meowing and wanted outside again O_o; Crazy cat...

I'm getting ready to go to my grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary right now. There's going to be about 80 something old people there that I don't know and will try my best to avoid. I'm just going for the cake. *nods*

Lost

Well, it finally happened again. One of my pets went missing. My little calico hasn't come back home since yesterday and my entire family has been out looking for her. She has never stayed outside during the night and always comes when we call her. I called the pound and posted signs, but haven't had any luck so far. Maybe I'm just over reacting... It's only been a day. But still, it's like 30 degrees outside and my cat hates the cold. This sucks... Last time one of my pets went missing we found out it had been hit by a car. Hope that hasn't happened to Kitty.... :( Because if it has I'll track down the dumbass who hit her and tear them to pieces D:<

And I have some more depressing news, at least to me anyways. I have a 68 in my college math class T_T. And I've only had one class in there. Stupid cube roots and matrices...

Anyways, I have a list of people I'm buying cards for:
Mary, Amanda, Karen, Julie, Brad, Jeff, the other Brad, owlrain(Candice)

I think that's all I can afford. Cards are so expensive these days. As for presents, here are the lucky few who will get something from me:
Mary, Ashley, Amanda, Brad, Jeff

If you're not on the list, too bad. Unless of course you give me a really nice gift in return...

Hooray, I ended up making a 90 on my test Monday. *feels all smart* I also found out that I might be getting FFXI for my birthday. And if my mom can talk my dad into paying for it for the first month, as I have no money as of now, I will be upgrading my brinkster website account to get my own domain. Sorry Mel-chan, I couldn't figure out how to work the stuff on fakeitmoon.net. *gives you back your GBs of space*

Grrr, my mom won't stop bugging me about getting another job. And she wants me to get one over winter break, which is my 'relaxing' time. Yes, I know, I'm lazy. That doctor I'm working for needs to hurry his ass up and pay me. I'm having manga withdrawels. T_T

I think I'll go play GTA: San Andreas and run people over with a tank now... XD


Edit: I just cut my own bangs... but they look good, surprisingly :/

Hmn, the toilet in my sister's bathroom just overflowed and covered the entire floor and part of the hallway with water. I'm glad I'm upstairs... I think we have tree roots growing in our plumming.

Sippin' on some hot chocolate right now. I have a 50 question test tomorrow in my PC Intro class that I just finished studying for. I managed to get an extra hour in because Charmed wasn't on tonight. I hope I make at least a 70 on it. The other day I got some mail with my new schedule for the second quarter. It looks like they'll be easy.

While I was out practicing my driving tonight, I stopped by Books-A-Million and bought four volumes of Fruits Basket. I was thinking about getting some volumes of Bleach or even Gravitation, but I didn't have enough money T_T. I need another giftcard... Thank goodness my b-day and x-mas is comming up. That reminds me, I need to make a gift list.

damn kids....

Well, I woke up this morning/afternoon and found out that my car got damaged last night. My brother had it at a friend's house he was staying over at. His little 'friend' decided it would funny to jump on the roof of the car and slide/bounce down the windshield. >_< And then my windshield cracked right down the middle.

*shouts millions of profane words*

Alright, I feel better now. I'm going to kill my brother when he gets home, though... which should be in about 5 minutes >:) *gets out her baseball bat*

>_<;

Somehow, every year, I manage to get sick right before Halloween. And it's happened again. I have a headache, stuffy nose, chills, a cough, sore throat, and puffy eyes. Damn cold... I think I've used up 3 tissue boxes today already... -_-

Edit:

I now have a fever. Hope it's just a 24 hour cold because I really can't miss any of my classes. I'd have tons of make-up work... T_T *throws herself a pity party*

Job

Hooray! I am finally employed again! Yesterday I got a call from my college career services manager and she said she had a job available for me. I called the guy and it turns out he's a doctor and wants to hire me as his part-time secretary. I'll be making $12 an hour and I get to work from home! I just have to pick up stuff from his office every now and then. Thank goodness I'm a pro at powerpoint, excel, and word... And he said he'd give me a raise every now and then if I did a good job. ^0^

I also went to give blood today, since they were closed last time I went. I was only able to give half a pint because I kept getting a blood clot. Gods, my arm f-ing hurts! There's a giant bruise on it that probably won't go away for a week. Well, at least it didn't hurt as bad as last time. But next time, I'm donating plasma, so I can get money XD. Yes, I am greedy. But I'll have to make sure I have at least $300 saved in my bank account as the guy I am now working for doesn't take out taxes...

I think I'm going to go back to sleep now. I went to sleep around 3:30PM and didn't wake up until 8:00PM, but amazingly I'm still light headed.

What the....?

Well, it finally happened. The big fight between my parents and sister: Part 100 something. It started out with her asking my mom if she could drive to the football game tonight. My mom said no becuase she didn't trust her and that she might be going somewhere where she's not suppossed to. Then, my sister started yelling that she was just going to the game and no where else. And then my mom brought up the subject of drinking and driving, and that she had found a note from one of her friends that said she was drinking while driving. Of course, that set my sister off again, and she started yelling that she didn't care and that my parents could disown her if they wanted, that she was going to move out when she turned 18 anyway. While this is happenning, I'm sitting there at the table in front of them, trying to eat my baklava(a greek pastry) in peace. Then my sister just stomps away to her room and my dad comes home.... dun dun dun.

She has the nerve to go up to him and ask if she can take the jeep and go to the game. He, of course, says no. And then the yelling starts again... *sigh* What my dad doesn't know is what was in the note my mom found. We made a copy of it and it's hidden in my mom's room right now. And even though I know a whole lot more than I'm telling my mom, I'm keeping my mouth shut. Only because I know that if I told them everything, my sister would tell them I'm bi, and I'd get kicked out. We have an odd system of trust right now...

Well, I'm going to go donate blood right now, later...

I've been feeling detatched for some reason. (Except when I got to see/talk to my Mel-chan ^_^) I think it's mainly because my college classes aren't challenging enough for me. It seems I always need something to be interested in, whether it be an anime, a tv show, collecting something, etc. If I don't, I get depressed. I'm weird when I get depressed because I still act normally around everyone, but feel empty. I think I started feeling this way when my senior year started. That was also around the time when I developed my writer's block I still haven't been able to get over. Well, at least my social life is better than it was a month ago. I think I just can't accept the fact that I'm an adult now, and have responsibilities. I think that's the real reason why I don't want to get my liscense, too. It's all psychological.

Well, enough about that. I was thinking about what I'm going to do for Halloween this year and can't decide if I want to have my own party or just go to a few haunted houses/tours. If I had a party, I'd have to buy another $80 tent to go with the one I already have, set them up in the back yard, and spend about $200 on decorations. I could have black tarp for the floor and walls, hook up my huge blacklight, dvd, tv, radio, etc. Gee, I wonder if I have enough extension cords for all of that... Add a few chairs/beanbags and it'd be perfect. But then I'd have to go to school the next day and couldn't stay up late... Maybe I should plan to do that next year, when I have money. *sigh* I still can't decide....
