I have pepper spray and I'm not afraid to use it!

03:00 pm - Printer = Bizarre.
Wouldn't print. I opened it, released the printhead, fastened it back down again, closed the cover, and voila! It prints. Stupid technology.

08:46 pm - I think...
I'm coming down with the flu. For the first time in 10 years.
Fuck.
04:52 pm - I LOVE this smell!
This is the first time since I've lived here that I've been able to smell rain on pavement. It's actually RAINING outside, as opposed to sprinkling. I thought it looked mighty threatening outside, but I didn't expect it to actually rain. This is the first real rain I've seen since I've been here.
12:14 pm - A little survey...
At some point last term, I watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding. And at some point she says she has like 27 cousins, and the guy thinks that's crazy. I sat and watched it and said "Hell, I have 25! And I would have 27 if two of them weren't dead!" And I'm not Greek.
I suppose the reason I have so many may be that my parents are older and both came from larger families. Counting my dad's half brother, my dad is one of eight, and my mom is one of six.
So I was wondering, how many cousins do you guys have? Just first cousins. You can count half cousins, as I count nine of them, but not step cousins. I want to know blood relations only.
12:01 pm - Furthering my idea that my ex is a lying sack of shit...
I got a text message from him that says he didn't get sent. Seriously. In reality, how many times is the fucking National Guard going to change their minds about sending him? My guess is he told me that to see if he could get sympathy out of me and have me want to get back together with him.
Well fuck him, he's a lying sack of shit!
Even if he weren't, babysitting ain't my style.
In other news, it's funny when Pete gets drunk and says things to Drama that make very little sense! :D

It only shows your contact details to people you allow it to, and, uh, it's spiffy and stuff. And you know when people update their addresses. And such. Yeah.
Tired.

05:49 pm - Happy birthday to my internet twin, drama_!
Since it's technically your birthday in your timezone and all!
May it be graced with happiness and Jiffy Pop!
01:53 pm - *giggles*
It still sucks, but I just noticed that two of the questions are identical! Which means only 18 questions instead of 19! I also figured out that I only need to prepare answers to 4 of the essay questions, since they'll ask at least 4, and if I have answers for 4, no matter which ones they pick, I'll have my ass covered.
01:28 pm - What am I, pre-law?
*grumbles*
I can honestly say that most of this stuff will never be useful to me in real life. Federalism vs. federal supremacy? Nope. distributive vs. protective regulatory policies? Nope. Various environmental law cases? Lemme think here... Nope!
In other news, my silicone eyelets make my ears terribly dry, which is no fun at all.

08:02 pm - Note to self: Am not Jewish.
Second note: Am also not good at fasting. Oh well.
I bought way too much Jewish food today. No Gefilte Fish, though. But Matzo crackers and kosher Tea Biscuits, and Halvah, and kosher chocolate, and potato pancake mix!
Mmmmm.
05:23 pm - Whee!
I got my eyelets. :D YaY for fast shipping from Canada! 5 days from Ontario. I have to say I'm impressed.
They went in really easy, and they're bright blue! My only gripe is, seriously. Whose earlobes are this wide from front to back? The eyelets are ridiculously long.
But sleeping will be less pokey now!
Ugh. Time to wash juicer and make evening juice.
Feb. 8th, 2005
08:24 pm - Damn!
I've got to come up with a bibliography for my research paper. There's no set number of sources, but somehow I think the one I have won't cut it. :-p
I wish my silicone eyelets would hurry up and get here. It would make sleeping a lot easier. I have sore spots behind my ears from my metal eyelets digging in.
At some point I want to get over to Seattle to get my ear pierced again. I decided against The Hive in Moses Lake, because, well, I'd rather be pierced by someone with 5 years of experience than someone with, uh, 2. Besides, it's always good to get pierced at a place that's like, well known and stuff. Okay, not really. I'm just not thinking clearly. I blame the juice or something. All the liquids I've been drinking must have washed my thoughts clear out of my brain.
10:25 am - Policy and Law test of doom!
It's on Friday. We're allowed to have 5 pages front and back of handwritten notes. There are ten million questions to prepare for and only some of them will be on the test! It's fucking evil. I'm writing up my notes now. There are 19 definitions, 19 short answers, and 6 essays! And we'll only have to answer 4-5 definitions, 3-4 short answers, and 2 essays! This is absurd.

09:37 pm - Sometimes I live in the country, sometimes I live in the town...
Sometimes I take a great notion... to watch "Sometimes a Great Notion!"
Depressing as all hell. But funny.
That was always one of those books I could not figure out for the life of me how my parents wound up with. They're too old for Kesey. :-p In the same category as "The Basketball Diaries." Well, actually I think I can explain that one. Dad no doubt bought it thinking that it was actually about basketball. I don't think he was expecting all the drug use, etc.
07:24 pm - A day late, and, well, not really any money short...
But in the "excitement" of my birthday, I seem to have forgotten. So here's today's old photo:
My grandparents, my uncle Mike, and my mom.
06:01 pm - Hotmail and headaches suck!
Hotmail is just being generally shitty, and I started having this headache around 3. I'd call it caffeine withdrawl, but I've only been drinking cola for 2 days now. So who knows.
I'm out of Chinese food. :( Except for steamed rice, which is pretty lame, and really kinda sticky in a not-so-good way by now.
So I'm thinking I may start my fast one day early. I've got all the fruit from before my birthday, and it hasn't gone bad. I was going to start on the first day of Lent, just because it was there. But I guess I'll start tomorrow. YaY juice fast!
And before anyone should think to ask, no, I'm not anorexic!

12:08 pm - The weather even got me a present!
Birthday snow!
I've never seen snow on my birthday before. It's usually quite done snowing in Portland by the time my birthday rolls around.
It's not sticking, but it's coming down pretty good at the moment.

09:24 pm - Heh...
Just spent almost half my birthday money on wife-beaters. There's this brand I really love and I found them on Amazon for $8 rather than $17. In different colors than the 6 I already have. And even after the horrific shipping charges, They still only came to about $10 each.
Wanted to spend some of the rest on a computer game, but couldn't find any that sounded like my kind of computer game. Either that or just way too close to the couple games I already have.
*edit*
Also, the Chinese food is surprisingly good. Especially the fried rice. I could do without the carrots, which I do not believe belong in fried rice, but other than that, it's almost on a par with Canton Grill. The Chow Mein had some weird American vegetables in it, but was still pretty tasty overall. I also like the Kung Pao shrimp. I never would have thought that Ellensburg would have a Chinese restaurant with over 90 items on the menu, many of them vegetarian, and quite tasty to boot.
08:17 pm - Birthday presents!
Let's see, Thursday I got my package of stuff from my friend in Portland, then yesterday I got the Amazon gift certificate she sent me, which I spent on a Nekromantix CD and the SLC Punk soundtrack. My mom put $100 in my bank account, and today admonished me not to spend it on groceries or bills. Sadly, I'm at either the age or level of maturity where we both seem to have thought that was a consideration. Today, I got a book and scratch-its in the mail from Mom. Good thing I didn't win anything on the scratch-its, though, since they were from Oregon and I live, um, not really anywhere near Oregon. Not close enough to drive there and redeem scratch-its, in any case!
The book I got is the best, though. It's a kids' book. Diary of a Wombat. The drawings are super-cute. I want a wombat. :D
11:20 am - *yawn*
O gods that was nice. I slept so long!
Now I'm up, I ate a cupcake, and later today I'm going to go get Chinese takeout. It says they have "over 19" vegetarian options. You know that means they have 20. Otherwise they would have said "over 20." In any case, I'm hoping for some veggie fried rice, maybe some chow mein, assuming their chow mein is vegetables and not nasty greasy noodles, and some fried shrimp. I may change my mind once I get there, though. I'm just hoping I can find someplace to park! I don't do parallel parking. I've discovered that I can get OUT of a parallel parked space, I just have no clue how to get into one, so I'm not going to try. I come from a state where they don't make you parallel park on the driver's test. They make you pull up alongside a curb to see if you know where the curb is, but they do not make you parallel park. Washington does. This is yet another reason I'm glad I took my test in Oregon and paid the extra money.
The other day at the post office I was parked in a 15 minute parallel space. I pulled in behind someone, and right as I came back to get my car, someone had pulled in behind me! I was mortified. But amazingly, my no power steering car actually made it out of the space. Granted I had to totally crank the wheel, but we still made it. (Me and the car, that is.)
Now, I should get dressed and do some cleaning.
Hopefully I get good stuff in the mail today!
