To the ends of the galaxy.

It looks great Kels, thanks for asking. It's funny the whole purpose of my wood structure was to hold up the stars, but I am incredibly happy with how the wood grains have come out. For those of you who are lost, I built a "canopy" (but not really), it looks kind of like a canopy though. I have 4 (4x4) wooden posts attached by 4 (2x4) and a midnight blue piece of styrofoam (about the same dimensions of my bed, but up higher) with a bunch a holes in it. The holes just happen to match the constellations in the sky, so, when I turn a light on over the piece of styrofoam, my room is dim and it looks like the stars when I'm laying in my bed. It's AMAZING! If you're having a hard time picturing it, don't worry because I'm going to posting some pictures later, I just haven't since I've been super busy (my apologizes). Gotta go to class, lata!

Sometimes work blows

Sometimes? Okay, most of the time. I'm still too angry to talk about it, I'll adore my galaxy and I'll tell you guys later.

THANK GOSH FOR SISTERS

This is a special tribute to all my sisters, literally, and how lucky I am to have them. I know it's pretty lame and my sisters are probably thinking, "lameo", but seriously, having six sisters is great. Special thanks to the one who just spent forty-five minutes talking to me about all the things that frustrate me, and to the rest I MISS YOU SO MUCH! Have a great weekend girls!

Funny Story

So, that ridiculous picture of me with the crazy hair was meant to be funny, not real. To start from the beginning me, Tayia, and Pity ("Excuse me, the hooker and I") were sitting around one night talking about hair styles when I came across a website that let you try different hair styles on one of your photos, so I started playing around. Pity came up with the ingenious idea to post a picture of me with the ugliest hair style we could find, and it didn't work, four of my sisters said they like it, nice job Poe. Remind me to not let her help me pick out a hair style.

Tonight I was out with some girls in engineering for a SWE meeting, and you will not guess who I saw. The incredibly hot hockey player I hung out with a couple weekends ago and I won't go into details, but I kissed him. I got a glimpse of him as I was talking to a friend, not sure if he recognized me, kind of hoping he didn't, and then he enthusiastically waved and smiled. I actually kind of like this other guy I know, who is in my major, he always makes and effort to talk to me, it's kind of nice. I don't much about him except that he has the same major, he rides a bike, and he's cute, so, what's not to like? Everyone...enjoy the weekend!

Boring...

Whenever I think "boring" I can't help but think of Kelsey saying it so obnoxiously, as once said in a movie, entertaining nonetheless. Anyway, that's what is happening now. As I have said in previous post, I was having trouble in physics and when I asked my professor for some help, crazy, I know, he stated that his "time was limited". A.k.a. find someone else to help you. Then, today in class he spent twenty minutes talking about the percentage of correct responses for each question on the exam; waste of time; like I care how many people got #5 right on the exam. I suppose I think it's ironic that professors can't "waste their time" helping students, but don't mind wasting ours.

Special note to Pity (and everyone else): I wasn't really calling her a bitch, I think she said something to make fun of me (pretty easy to do these days) and that was my comeback. Poe, it was all in good fun. Also, had an amazing time this weekend, can't wait to do it again.

Here's the Scoop

First off, Pity is a bitch.

Lee, thanks for the advice, I know I'm fat, and if I had girlfriend maybe I could get some sympathy, but Trent's the closest thing I've got to it.

Shut up please, I'm very busy and important(me talking to Pity). Okay, so, last weekend, very busy because I had an interview with Honda on Friday, and one with Caterpillar on Monday. It was fun though, I went home for the weekend, and Trent and I had an awesome time. We went to the fair on Thursday night, the interview with Honda was over the phone Friday afternoon, then on Friday evening Trent and I got the goods, you know, movies, bread sticks, pop, candy, etc. Decided to head back to school early, so I left home on Saturday afternoon/evening and hung out with some friends that night. I worked, Sunday night, then closed on Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday, which sucked because I had an interview on Monday, and an exam on Wednesday and Thursday. Last night I was beat. Pity came to visit me this weekend, perfect time for a re-boot. Also, there has been a new development with me, it's a little crazy, but let me know what you think...



*IMPORTANT* Due to the disappointing feedback on the last post I have new videos for the ladies out there and I have a feeling you'll like them:

I'm Still Here Everyone!

Okay, I have to shower and go to class, but I will fill you all in on the adventurous life of me, later today.

Two Important Things

*Warning: May be offensive to male viewers*

First, I smell. I just got off work, been riding my bike like it's going out of style, ha ha ha, how ridiculous, biking going out of style? That's like saying wearing jeans with one leg rolled will go out of style, never gunna happen. You might be surprised how often I get that, so, I'm delivering subs on my bike, one of my jean legs rolled (that way I don't get grease all over my jeans). Then I take a far delivery and I have to drive, but I'm too lazy to mess with my jeans and people ask me, so, is that a new style (referring to my pant leg)? Hmmm? Yeah, I think it's pretty cool to look like a jackass, come on people, really? I guess someone could wonder why I roll only one pant leg, but a new style? Really? Maybe you need to get out more.

Okay, so now that we've established that I stink, second important thing, Law & Order: SVU is the most amazing show on television. Suspense, sex, scandal, and most importantly Elliot Stabler, if he was a real person and he asked me to marry him I'm pretty sure I would have to say yes. I just watched an episode, sometimes after work I like to kick back and watch a little SVU, but then a horrible thing happen. In this episode everything was leading up to the very very end, I was so confused, the suspense was killing me, then in the last minute of the show, my DVR (a recording system) cut the show early, and I NEVER GOT THE ENDING. Yes, I am a drama queen, but I just wanted to see the ending. I frantically searched youtube, nothing. However, I did find something pleasing to the eye, what a real man looks like.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn_TG4GHDn4

Believe me ladies it's worth watching, and Kelsey I know you'll like it (side note: if you would like to see a real man in person just go to a Gary Allen concert)

I'm going to go hit the shower, and call it a night, hope you all enjoyed the blog today, particularly you ladies.

Completely Random Pics I've Taken

I HATE PHYSICS

Particularly optics and electricity. It's sucks. I just felt the need to share that fact with everyone.

Now what?

1 job fair, 2 days, 45 companies, 35 resumes, and I'm beat. Since I've mustered up so much energy for the job fair, my studies have taken a serious beating and instead of having a good time this weekend for the home football game it looks like I'll be playing "catch up". Oh well, there's always next weekend. Although, having a little bit of fun doesn't sound too bad. On to things that matter, to top off my week I just recently found out that Congressman Ron Paul is no longer running for President. It's too bad that such an amazing candidate didn't make it to the final round. The little hope us "constitutionalist" had has come and gone, oh well, better luck next time I suppose.

Chica chica chica yeah

Yes, I should be sleeping and of course I'm not. Today was an amazing day! I spent the evening with my roomie from last year and one of her good friends whom I met last year and they both are always a great time. Prior to hanging out with her for the evening I went to a club soccer meeting to find out more about the club and that was interesting. I'm planning on going to practice on Wednesday, but it's a bit early to say what it will bring, I'm very intrigued and would love to get competitive and start playing again. However, I'm not sure because there are so many things I want to do this year, perhaps I have some hidden talent elsewhere that is just waiting to be discovered. We shall see.
On to more juvenile news of my life and I suppose if I'm going to talk about it then I should properly explain the situation. Last semester I was in two different classes with this guy I like to call "Cute Engineering Boy" and the reason for this is because I have no courage at all to speak to this guy that I think is completely handsome. Over the course of last spring I kind of started to talk to him, but not really, I mean we became facebook friends (giving me proper means to stalk him) and I occasionally talked to him in class. On the rare occasion that we did speak I always managed to make a fool of myself, as I often do, which is why I was semi relieved to see last semester come to an end. I was finally able to put my embarrassing moments and childish acts behind me, until today that is. I'm sitting in my math class, the first day of the fall semester, and I was completely surprised at the size of my class of about fifty, opposed to the normal class size of about 400 or so(which has nothing to do with this story, but interesting just the same). So, there I am, early and waiting for the professor (a rarity I might also add because I'm generally the last to show, but like I said all my childish acts are behind me at this point), then out of nowhere he walks in. When I say "he" I don't mean the professor I mean "Cute Engineering Boy", my jaw dropped. I wanted to talked to him after class, I had the perfect opportunity too, but I once again resorted to my earphones and headed to the door. Perhaps I'll see him tomorrow, perhaps not, that's the beauty of life you never can tell what a new day will bring.

Oh Boy!

So, I've already had one hell of a week and you're in luck because I won't bore you with the details, but to top everything off, tonight when I get off after a twelve hour shift, guess what I come home to? First, my front door is locked and my key won't unlock it (there is a button on the lock that will allow this) and when I look in my window I see him sleeping on my couch! When I say him I am referring to the creepy guy who lived there before I moved in, not only is he creepy, but he's not a very nice person. Unfortunately, he is still kind of friends with my other roommate. Sigh. At the end of last year I asked one of my current roommates, Josh, if I could move some of my stuff into unoccupied space in the house and Josh said it would be fine. One of the items I moved in early was a bulletin board that contained many photographs and other memorabilia. When I returned this year I notice multiple photos of mine missing, missing because "Creepy Guy" took them for G*d knows what reason and I'm pretty sure I'd rather not know. There are countless other stories that describe the negative and awful qualities that "Creepy Guy" possesses, which I why I'd like to avoid him altogether, which is why I'd rather he didn't sleep on my couch. Aside from being a bit drained from a few things going on in the past couple weeks I am truly blessed, I have two great roommates, the best sisters ever, and for some reason I always have a way to make ends meet. [I'm pretty sure there is someone looking over me :)] Peace out.

Insomnia Cookies & Beauty and the Beast

So, right now I'm sitting in my basement eating insomnia cookies and watching beauty and the beast. This is the basement of my new house and the basement which I spent countless hours cleaning and scrubbing just so I could hang out down here. For the average person they would walk down and think "Hmmm, it stinks." but I think it looks great and I love the smell of my candles, plus there's a cool bar in the back. Cleaning is actually the reason I haven't posted in a while, plus I got in about 40 hours in five days last week. I've spent a lot of time cleaning my house to make it livable and I still can't figure out how the boys lived like this without cleaning. I'm pretty excited because I've taken care of the essentials, such as, my bathroom(I have my own), my bedroom, the living room, the basement, and most of the kitchen, but I still need to work on the guest room, the dining area, the upstairs outside of my room, the laundry area, and a little bit of the kitchen. Ahh, I love disney movies!

COMING SOON: Photos of my house

My Big Birthday Bash!

On my birthday I had class as usual and that was fun. Afterwards, my sister, a friend, and I got lunch and then visited a friend who just had a baby, who was completely adorable by the way. My sister had to work, and my friend need to get a present for another friend, so, I accompanied her to the mall where we bitched to each other about buying presents for other people, just kidding, we just joked about how broke we were. When I arrived home there was a movie from Netflix, "Music Within", that my mom had been hounding me to watch so she could send it back, so I did and it was very enjoyable. And this pretty much sums up the rest of my exciting night consisting of oreos, mountain dew, and Rummikub (I love this game!):













Since I had nothing interesting to report today perhaps you will be as amused as I was at the fact that Trent thinks he can cut his own hair, here were the results:

Creepy noises from my window...again (P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEE)

So, sitting in my room alone, after dark, watching deleted scenes from Titanic, and I'm hearing strange noises from window again. However, this time my window is wide open and this noise is not so much a banging as an unidentified animal, like a sick bird or something. Odd as it sounds, I have some comfort knowing it's just some strange animal outside rather than some stalker banging on my window. Off to bed again and knowing me I'm sure I'll sleep just fine.

Good Luck Randy!

So, I talked to Randy today and he's at the Indiana State Fair for a steer show. He's into showing and all that country stuff farmers do. Anywho, he got Grand Champion for his breed and now he goes on for overall champion. Just wanted to say CONGRATS RANDY, and good luck tomorrow!

Things I'll Miss Most

Okay, so, last night I was packing up the rest of my things because I'll probably head back to school a week from today. I have most of my stuff down at school and I'm down to two boxes of clothing, a box of scrap booking stuff, three drawers of hair & face products, some books, two bikes, and a couple other odds and ends. Bittersweet feeling I guess and here's what I'll probably miss the most...

I feel like Kelsey right now

Why Kelsey? Because I'm scared shit-list right now and if I wasn't 19 years old, and feeling lazy, I think I would go sleep with Trent right now. It's in the middle of a thunderstorm and I swear there is someone or something that keeps tapping on my window, and after the first time I jumped every time I heard the noise. So, yeah, I'm pretty freaked out right now, and it doesn't help that my lights are on, I have no blinds, meaning that whatever is out there can see me, but I can't see it. I know it's probably those stupids cats, but it still freaks my shit out. Nighty-night sleep tight.

Sibling bonds, people just don't get it.

Today was my last lab for chemistry class and on Thursday we have our final exam. Well, we actually have two lab sections, one before class and one after class, originally I was sign up for the early one at 9:00 AM, and it takes a half an hour to get to school, plus I have to get around, and generally I don't do my pre-lab on time. So, if you put that all together I have to get up at 7:30 AM at least. 7:30? Yeah, that's not really what I up for most of the time, so, ever now and again I would just skip lab in the morning and hope the professor wouldn't mind me joining the later lab. Lucky for me I hoped right and he didn't care about my joining the lab, today was no exception. Part of me wished I had went to the morning lab because it was the most boring school work I have ever had to do. We set up an inverted buret and waited for it to go from 50.00 ml to 5.00 ml as it filled with hydrogen gas and nothing better to do. It was kinda of funny though, my friend from high school had his birthday yesterday and he asked when mine was and I told him it was tomorrow. Then we were all kind of talking about it and my friend, Jenny, asked, "So what are you going to tomorrow?" And you know how when you know a bunch of people are kind of listening to you and you don't want to say something stupid, so, you try to think of something that won't make you sound retarded. Yeah, I couldn't think of anything. I was just like, "Probably nothing, my little brother and I will probably hang out." A kid from the other lab table was like, "You're going to hang out with your little brother for your birthday?" My response, "Yeah, I'm cool like that." when really I wanted to say "Over the weekend I drove 800 miles to play Rummy Cube & Clue with brother and sister and it was a blast." But then I thought I'd probably get one of those looks that say "You're a little weird" like I normally do when I try to explain how our family operates.

Help Please...

Okay to any other bloggers who know what they're doing I can't post any pictures and I don't know why? It's saying that there is an "internal error" and I have no idea what that means and I've never have trouble post photos before. If anyone has any input that would be great.

All I hear when you talk is, "Bla bla bla, I'm a dirty..."

No, not really, but I'm sitting in class and I can't focus, it's just not going to happen. He's a good professor, speaks clearly, and very organized, but his words mean nothing today, I absent mindedly tune him out. I figure I might as well do something productive, so here I am. OMG, it is the middle of the summer, probably 90+ degrees outside, I am wearing sweats and a sweatshirt and I am still freezing in this classroom. On to more interesting things, I moved a lot of my stuff into my house this past weekend and boy is it gross. Got to go, finish this story later.

Kirstyn + Studying = Waste of time

Yes, I am taking summer class and I have an exam tomorrow. Am I studying? Of course not. Who does that anyway? Certainly not me, funny thing is, when I study less I do better, not really though, I think that's just was differentiates my school of engineering from my community college. It's nice to have a break from "weed out" classes and cut throat professors. Even though it's CC I can't help but loving my professors here, my last one was even open enough to show us a video of her 3 year old during lecture, it was cool. I suppose I should get back to work b/c this professor seems pretty ethical, and I'm sure I can pull a grade up, bummer. Hope everyone is having a Happy Monday.

The 4th of July

Yes, I am alive and doing well and as most of you have probably notice I tend to go a couple months without a single post. But this summer has entailed working three jobs and going to school, so I'm a busy girl. Happy 4th of July.

I don't have a sleep schedule

Kelsey and I are up watching music videos and she says, "The sun's coming up, creepy." I don't know if it's just me or if there is something wrong with this.

Some things don't change

So, it's finals week and I spent about twelve hours at the library today. And you should all be relieved to know that there were no booger incidents, like the last time I had finals. Not because I've completely given up my old hobby, but there was this totally hot kid a couple tables away and I could tell he was into me. I mean every time I "glanced" over at him he justed happened to be staring at me, not that I blame him.

Too bad the dining court scene didn't go as well as the library scene and it wasn't even my fault. Okay, I was finishing up dinner, walking to put my tray up and talking to my little sister, so, there I was, tray in one hand and cell phone in the other. The tray was a little heavy, but I was managing fine. Then, from out of nowhere, my leg slips and the contents of my tray go everywhere. My first thought, "Could people clean up these stupid water spills", but instead of stupid I was thinking of a worse word. Yeah, there wasn't a drop of liquid on the floor, just a piece of lettuce. One of the workers came over to help me, I'm just thinking about what a jackass I look like. I really did too, no spills on the floor, just some girl who was trying to walk and talk at the same time and it didn't fly. Story of my life.

Sometimes life sucks (...and when I say life I mean people)

Thank God I have a big family, otherwise I don't think I would have very many people to hang out with that didn't drive me crazy. I just find it increasingly irritating how if I call or text a guy that I think is fun to hang out with and they automatically assume I want to date them and be more than friends, please...give me a break. But you know what's even worse, when a guy pretends to be your friend because they want to date you and when they discover you're not interested in dating, they're not interested in being friends. What a coincidence! Don't even get me started on girls, they're bitches and I'd rather keep the knife out of my back. I just hope that my knee is healed soon because I really miss my daily activities, like biking to the celery bog, I'm shocked how much I miss going there. Maybe I'll walk there, it will take some time, but I don't have any exams until finals week, hmmm, perhaps that will work. Sorry for my bitchiness, but I hope you are all having a wonderful week.

I'm almost there...grand prix...dead...finals

So much to tell so little time. Well, last week I discovered the most wonderful place to go, the celery bog, basically it's a place to go, hike, and RELAX. Three days in a row last week I biked out there for lunch, it's about two miles away. On the way there I had to bike up this bitch of a hill, lucky for me it's next to a busy highway where plenty of people get to see my fat ass struggle to get up the hill, once I got the bog I remember that it was totally worth it. Also, the hill does have its perks every once in a while, for instance, on my way back the other day two chicks were roller blading down the hill and one of them completely biffed it. I know I'm a bitch, but it was hilarious.

Speaking of biffing it, don't you hate it when you're driving and somebody cuts you off? You know what's even more annoying? When somebody cuts you off and they hit you...on a bike. Yeah, that left a mark the next day, and I thought it would be a smart idea to do some heavy biking for the next three days after the accident. Nope, not a good idea! My knee didn't appreciate that very much especially since my left knee absorb the brunt of the force, and probably my shoulder, I'm just grateful I had my helmet on. For the past couple days I've avoided my regular activities like biking and running in hopes that my knees will soon be back to normal, which really sucks because I've managed to replace exercising with food, I love how I'm so healthy. Ha ha! I suppose it could be seen as a good thing because I probably replaced the time I would have spent exercising with studying, and after the two exams I had tonight I'm hoping it paid off. I'm feeling pretty good about one of them, fingers crossed, and I'm not sure about the other. Ready to call it a night, peace out.

Long and Productive Days

Aww, I feel as if I actually had a productive day yesterday, which has made today go so much smoother, great feeling! I just got out of class and I have one at 3:30, then I'm FREE! Ha ha, just kidding I have two different meetings tonight, but that's okay. I'm pretty excited though because after my 3:30 I'm planning on biking out to the bog and having lunch. Can't say I've ever been to a place so quiet and peaceful around here. My heart goes out to Chatter, hope you're feeling better soon so you can enjoy this ever so beautiful weather.

It's Been Forever

I forgot I had a blog. Then I remembered that I had a web page where I could get online and bitch when life isn't going my way, so, here I am.

WARNING:Do not read the following blog, if easily offended

Update:
My life is actually going quite wonderfully, I'm having a great semester at school, 'knock on wood', and my school work keeps me busy enough that I have an excuse to hardly ever work. My old roommate, yeah, you know who I'm speaking of, she moved out last semester. She was just too much for me, and I just couldn't stand her notes all over the place. First, it was "Remove your shoes at the door", then "Please remove your hair from the drain", oh and the worst "You snore extremely loud". Ridiculous, me? Snore? I don't snore, that's something ugly people do. Anyway, let's just pretend for a second that I "snore", what am I suppose to do? Not sleep? So, with all these notes all over the place it just started to get me worried, I never knew what I might find. I mean what if I came home and there was me, sitting on the toilet with a note nearby that read, "Please wipe your ass". I think this girl just had too much time on her hands. Anyway, she's gone, and my living situation is pretty sweet.

So, since the beginning of the semester I found that I have a crush on this kid in two of my classes. I see him about everyday, but in the whole thirteen weeks of class I've never actually had a conversion with him, but it's getting pretty serious 'cause we're friends on facebook now. It's pretty lame though because in one of my classes he's actually in my group where we work on problems together and he sits right next to me, and still nothing. Well, a couple of weeks ago, things changed, I mean, in class we were having a group discussion and he actually talked to me. And me being the jackass I am, was like "Yeah, he's into me", so, I added him on facebook. The next time I saw him we were in lecture together, and I saw him staring at me, again I'm a jackass so I thought "OMG, he likes me". We have about four weeks of class left, so, I'm thinking I should start talking to this kid. I made up my mind that the next time I saw him I would try and make conversion. Sure enough I saw him in lecture one day and plan to talk to him after class. We're walking out of class and I'm walking next him, totally oblivious to the fact that he's having a conversion with someone else, I nudge him on the shoulder and ever so smoothly nodded my head with a cool, "Hey." He gives me a weird look and says, "Oh,...hi." and continues with his conversation. My thoughts, "Just walk fast, put your headphones on and walk fast". Not exactly how I planned, you know the usual, I say something funny, he laughs, and hopes to see me in class again...nope. Good for me I don't have lecture in that class anymore, DAMN IT, he's in my other class. Although, he might switch to another section to avoid the creepy girl that sits next to him in class. Actually, I really don't care because I'm pretty positive that after this semester I will never see him again, so, it's cool. Besides, making a jackass out of myself is a daily ritual, who would I be if I didn't?
