I have a new place now. I no longer live at this place. I no longer update this place. I have my reasons and they're all good.
Please, update your links.

You don't really show any emotion. You can beconsidered cruel and cold, but you just don'treally care about anything. This is just theway you are... you're quite a challenge to getclose to, and others may perceive you asboring.
What feeling do you represent? brought to you by Quizilla
You have no idea how accurate this has been for me lately...

1. What time do you wake up on weekday mornings? Usually about 10:30am, if I'm on a good sleep schedule.
2. Do you sleep in on the weekends? How late? Not really, unless I was up late the night before. Again, my sleep patterns are so eratic, it's hard to tell.
3. Aside from waking up, what is the first thing you do in the morning?

There comes a time in your life when being your own worst enemy just doesn't cut it anymore. When you feel like you've grown quite a bit, but are stuck in old trends and need a new look, a new environment and a new life in order to reflect that growth. So what do you do about that? Simple..

So strange, to have made all the technical, grammatical and emotional advances that I have made in a space of twelve months.

I have been sexually jaded to the point that I no longer have much of a sex drive at all (though I do think some of that could be physical). The fact that I chose at a young age to wait until marriage to lose my virginity (not for religious reasons, just moral) certainly didn't help matters much.

Are you smiling? Thanks to Jennifer, I am now... Here are my reasons:
Looking out the window and knowing that it's mine:
Finally being able to make this doggy tired:
Picking up some wonderfully cool brightly-dyed real daisies at the grocery store for only $2!
Having a new toy!!
Buying new containers for organizing photos and making more room for storage!

1. What's one thing you've always wanted to do, but never have? Visit Ireland.
2. When someone asks your opinion about a new haircut/outfit/etc, are you always honest? Yes, but even if it's negative, I'll make it funny or present it in a way that isn't rude or hurtful. I'm very tactful.
3. Have you ever found out something about a friend and then wished you hadn't?

For as much grief as I get from him about not being good enough and him being such a perfectionist and not being able to say he's proud of me, it's still a nice feeling when I can at least get a 'Thank you.' Whether my reaction is a healthy one or not, I don't know.

After a huge crying fit, a gigantic discussion through tears and screaming and arguing and more blubbering, wailing tears and finally becoming a shaking mess of confusion and turmoil and heartache balled in the fetal position in the bedroom floor, lo and behold...
I found my smile again. :-D

1. What do you most want to be remembered for? My humor, my love of animals, my love of music, my artistry, always being me, no matter what.
2. What quotation best fits your outlook on life? It's a tie between my three favorite Nietzsche quotes: "We should consider every day lost which we have not danced at least once.

Anyway, we are headed to Eastern Kentucky to visit some family for a few days.

I have to say I was overwhelmed. It was hard to walk through and look at some of these drawings, paintings, song lyrics, photographs.

First, there was this one. Then on Saturday I received this one and laughed my ass off:

Participation Positives:
-- We are rid of my mom's satanic-bitchy-rat-dog chihuahua!!
-- and Gypsy is much calmer and the kitties are much happier
-- my mom is back from her Florida vacation and rested and..
-- she brought us some serious booty!

My Asian Art paper is done and turned in (tues.), my brain-racking Psych exam is done (wed. -- 15 page-long essay questions!! Arrrghh!! two days later and my hand is still hurting), my colossal Human Nutrition exam is completed (today), J.'s new job has begun (wed.) and his co-workers are very cool, my financial aid/annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319966852725312364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600894.post-924390422003-04-11T13:20:00.000-04:002003-04-11T14:15:08.000-04:00Friday Five:
1. What was the first band you saw in concert? Does my dad's bluegrass band count? Probably not, huh? ... Tori Amos in 1996 or Danzig in the same year. Not really sure which was first.
2. Who is your favorite artist/band now? Tori definitely.. though it's impossible for me to narrow down a 'favorite.' I listen to so many different genres and artists.. David Gray, Angelique Kidjo, annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319966852725312364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600894.post-923914742003-04-10T19:32:00.000-04:002003-04-10T19:34:57.000-04:00Ahhhh!!!

-- Even though I was ten minutes late, I did make it to Nutrition class today and learned a lot
-- Sharing my experiences with ephedrine with the class and making a difference in their mindsets

I was hesitant about watching it, knowing that the plot alone could send me into a mid-life-crisis-tizzy right when I don't need it. I'm glad I watched it anyway. Once I heard this line, my world tilted on its axis a bit (well, okay, a lot):
"Is this your last best chance? Or are you going to your grave with unlived lives in your veins?"

She's headed to Florida and can't take the dog with her. I honestly thought Gypsy was going to have a heart attack. She was so excited to have a non-feline playmate, no matter what the size.

1. How many houses/apartments have you lived in throughout your life? Eight. From birth to now. Though my grandparents' house will always feel like home to me as well.
2. Which was your favorite and why? Hard one. I loved living in our first real house in Eastern Kentucky.. two creeks, three acres of land that included a beautiful forest, but I know I would never be able to go annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319966852725312364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600894.post-919984212003-04-04T14:13:00.000-05:002003-04-04T14:17:25.000-05:00How strange is it to look outside and see a gigantic looming almost black cloudy sky and then feel rain coming in your windows, while at the same time the sun is shining but you can't figure out where it is? Man, spring brings some fucked-up shit, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'll take a chaotic rainstorm over an icy blizzard anyday, thank you.

Sorry, got carried away there for a minute... The excitement was sending my fingers into a tizzy.
Yes, J. has officially signed the papers and accepted an offer with a wonderful company in Northern Kentucky, which totally rocks our world and fits in perfectly with our future plans. annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319966852725312364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600894.post-919020762003-04-03T03:30:00.000-05:002003-04-03T03:35:14.000-05:003:28am. Hopefully I'm done now.. It kind of reminds me of a Banana-berry Hubba Bubba flavor or something of the fruity bubble gum variety. Either way, I like it, which is strange considering that green and yellow are my two most hated colors. Funny how spring makes you like things you'd never like during any other season.

Blogger finally fixed it's sorry ass and my changes are now visible! Unfortunately, they're horrible and hard to read. I'll fix it later. I'm off to class now. Man, I hate going to night classes in awesome spring weather. Do you know the willpower that's involved in something like that? Ugh..
Okay.. doing some tweaking...
3am.. still tired, still tweaking...

It's the "Oh, you have a dog! Tell me all about your dog and we'll tell you the life story of our dogs, too!" Club.

-- even though this past weekend was a frustrating one in the darkroom, I can say that I'm 90% done with this damn project!

1. What was your most memorable moment from the last week? Registering for classes yesterday, just because it was a huge red-tape fiasco.
2. What one person touched your life this week? Um, does my dog count? If so, then Gypsy. If not, then J.
3. How have you helped someone this week?

-- She is also becoming more connected with us and comfortable with our household and..
-- It's allowing her to feel safe with us and that's always good
