desperatly seeking . . .

I like these shoes. They're comfy. I've worn my current pair to a state of scruffiness that is not acceptable. How hard is it to find these in size 5.5 normal width? Harder than you can imagine!

Opppfff!

Was a bit of a shock when I got m'amed the other day. Happy some kids really do have some semblance of manners. Just maybe could I get a miss? I know, I go back and forth on tha age thing.

After a long hiatus, I jumped on the scale last night. Horror. Uncontrollable gibbering. But a bit more incentive to get my butt moving. It would just be so much easier with a private chef and personal trainer to work with me during my many free hours. . .

Bits

- I can't focus. I overslept. But still feel tired.

- It's funny when someone has to think about it if you asked them if they made anyone one cry. (in the context in which it happened today)

- Mt. Dew orange is the best Mt. Dew.

- It sucks when your song and or artist won't show up on pandora.

- I'm now addicted to Castle Age. It'll wear off as soon as my lack of friends/arm whatever on there really hinders me, but in the meantime . . .

- No clue how my hair's doing but am liking the results of the road test for graduation style. (hope to be able to recreate on my own and save money though.)

- Still not sure about barrister's. Having the red dress brought up in case though. If I go I'll probably wear the red or black. See which looks better with the winter weight and also see what I find at the shoe sale.

- Still can't focus. . . annoying that.

- In a way surprising and in a way not surprising that the kids on the Jamie Oliver thing didn't know french fries came from a potato and couldn't identify an tomatoe.

- Looking for a new phone. (of the landline variety) I need one that makes a noise other than a ring. I dislike the sound of a phone ringer. I've had my phone for a long time and it's taken a good amount of abuse.

- I need another Spring Break.

- I'm dreading making up "assesment day."

Lowering of the ears

Am I the only one who's heard of that euphamism for having a haircut? I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep growing it out after graduation. I'm going to ask what the person who does my hair thinks. I really like her. She works with me (and I'm kinda hard to work with since I have no clue what I want) and talks me through some things I can do with my hair with the way it's been cut. Long hair means hairsticks and long hair. It also doesn't dry and tangles like the dickens. Short hair can be pretty wake up and run out the door. I dries and doesn't tangle. But there's a limit to what I can do with it for a special occasion. I don't know.

Yesterday I got back and just crashed. I woke up feeling more tired and just wiped out than when I went to sleep. I basically just ate and went back to sleep. Now I'm just kinda antsy and feeling a little like talking about spaceships (it's a music reference).

Oh, one of my happy law memories happened this week. I got called a bit of a pain by a prof. (I was playing a client.)

Peeve

Okay, I hate to post things that can probably be traced to another person easily but I've just got to vent or I may scream at and/or hit someone. Okay, here's the peeve. A person who is constantly picking at their nails/cuticles/whatever. I don't mean a little tug here and there but a constant yanking that shakes the table and sends bits of dead skin flying all about. I mean there have been times when blood was drawn! It's distracting. It's gross. It's constant. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

"Honey, I'm Home"

The car won't start-it's falling apart
I was late for work and the boss got smart
My pantyline shows-got a run in my hose
My hair went flat-man, I hate that
Just when I thought things couldn't get worse
I realized I forgot my purse
With all this stress-I must confess
This could be worse than PMS

This job ain't worth the pay
Can't wait 'til the end of the day
Honey, I'm on my way
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Honey, I'm home and I had a hard day
Pour me a cold one and oh, by the way
Rub my feet, gimme something to eat
Fix me up my favorite treat
Honey, I'm back, my head's killing me
I need to relax and watch TV
Get off the phone-give the dog a bone
Hey! Hey! Honey, I'm home!

I broke a nail opening the mail
I cursed out loud 'cause it hurt like hell
This job's a pain-it's so mundane
It sure don't stimulate my brain

This job ain't worth the pay
Can't wait 'til the end of the day
Honey, I'm on my way
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Honey, I'm home and I had a hard day
Pour me a cold one and oh, by the way
Rub my feet, gimme something to eat
Fix me up my favorite treat
Honey, I'm back, my head's killing me
I need to relax and watch TV
Get off the phone-give the dog a bone
Hey! Hey! Honey, I'm home!

Oh, rub my neck will you

Honey, I'm home and I had a hard day
Pour me a cold one and oh, by the way
Rub my feet, gimme something to eat
Fix me up my favorite treat
Honey, I'm back, my head's killing me
I need to relax and watch TV
Get off the phone-give the dog a bone
Hey! Hey! Honey, I'm home!

I'm home, that feels much better

I just like it.

Catch Up Mix

- Saw a child/toddler toilet at a rest stop.
- Went home for a few days during break. It rained most of the time and was chilly. Got new wipers. Rain-X latitude. Went ahead with getting the inspection done. Lost some moths but worth it to not have to worry about it later.
- When I went home the weather was rainy and foggy. As I drove in the morning, trucks kept pulling off. Not comforting.
- Didn't do anything really during break schoolwise. Started bar ap though.
- One night ate ham for dinner and then watch Ponyo while holding a Ponyo plush.
-Getting fingerprinted today. Must find out if they mean readily visible scars or any and all.
- Trying Ingelhoffer (sp?) wasabi stuff on my sandwich wraps.
- Still debating whether to skip Barrister's. I mean the food and location sound nice but I just don't want to worry about doing my hair / having my hair done and driving two hours round trip (if I'm lucky).
- The weather's all over the place. Hot. Cold. Dry. Wet. Sunny. Cloudy. And that's just on the drive to school.
- Overheard - "What do fish say when they hit a concret wall? Dam!"
- Now that I'm looking for them, it's hard to find cute, feminine, summer pjs that I like.
- After the HC bill was passed, I was surprised by how little political commentary actually showed up on my fb feed. I was actually kinda dreading the "yelling."
- Watched the Jamie Oliver thingy Sunday. I think it'll be interesting to see how it turns out. I have a feeling it'll be uplifting though. These are the people who have the whole Extreme Makerover thing. (don't get me started on how the people they "help" sometimes end up losing the houses they can't afford.)
- . . .

I'm sure there's more and many things I would have written about if I'd had the time to mention them when I thought of them . . .

anyhoo.

I like the lyrics

Won't U Please B Nice Lyrics
Artist(Band):Nellie McKay

If you would sit
oh so close to me
that would be nice
like it's supposed to be
if you don't I'll slit your throat
so won't you please be nice
if you would hug your arms right around me
that would be snug
like it's supposed to be
if we part I'll eat your heart
so won't you please be nice

Oh don't you love this romancing
know that it's your life you're chancing
isn't it nice
now you've married me
sugar and spice
like it's supposed to be
if you go i'll get your dough
so won't you please be nice

Stop with your jazz oratory
I only listen to top forty
N'Sync rules
isn't it nice
together we'll always live
no sacrifice
we'll vote conservative
if you run I'll pull a gun
give me head or you'll be dead
salute the flag or I'll call you a fag
oh won't you please be nice

Gravity

Gravity by Vienna Teng

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8nypWKa_aU

Hey love
Is that the name you're meant to have
For me to call

Look love
They've given up believing
They've turned aside our stories of the gentle fall

But don't you believe them
Don't you drink their poison too
These are the scars that words have carved
On me

Hey love
That's the name we've long held back
From the core of truth

So don't turn away now
I am turning in revolution
These are the scars that silence carved
On me

This is the same place
No, not the same place
This is the same place, love
No, not the same place we've been before

Hey, love
I am a constant satellite
Of your blazing sun
My love
I obey your law of gravity
This is the fate you've carved on me
The law of gravity
This is the fate you've carved on me
On me.

read something interesting

"Why, then, do so many people think widespread use of hand sanitizers like Purell are the cornerstone of flu prevention? To be sure, hand-washing can save lives in medical settings. In 1847, Hungarian doctor Ignaz Semmelweis discovered that washing one's hands with chlorine between deliveries practically eliminated fatal infections among laboring women. (His colleagues ignored him and later committed him to a mental hospital, where he was beaten to death by guards.) Today, numerous modern studies show that in randomized trials, meticulous hand-washing, when coupled with other infection control measures like surgical draping and universal gloving, reduce the rate of life-threatening infections during surgery and intensive care unit stays."

well that explains it

"Perhaps I am a bear, or some hibernating animal underneath, for the instinct to be half asleep all winter is so strong in me."

ummmm . . .

So lately Pandora's been playing mostly songs that I've already liked instead of new things. I can't help but worry that my eclectic taste has scared the program to a point it's just playing it safe.

I'm old. Really. Last night I got excited about going to bed and then I felt like I was on some great vacation when I slept in an hour late. I think I get too excited about sleep.

Maintain consciousness

Four hours of sleep. Almost. I have this nasty little habit of waking up around 4 -4:30 and not being able to get to sleep agains until right before the alarm goes off. Add to that I'm extra cranky because I don't understand why a prof is bothering to have "class" aka study hall aka ISS. If the prof's not there, what's the point in having the class? If you want to have something turned in by the start of class okay, but then let us go. Add to that an hour lunch break followed by four hours of classes. . .

I just want to skip and take a nice long nap. I'm cranky when I'm sleepy.

They're saying we might se snow Wednesday. I hope not. Snow if a four letter word that shouldn't be said in front of small children at this point.

I know I should have been more productive, but it's hard to focus when you're nodding off.
