what happened to xanga

i really like that the blogosphere is at its peak right now.

i like being able to read what people i know or know of write about.

Telephone

I always enjoy playing telephone.

Today we played in class and I was last.. so I said.. "You are a query" because that's what I heard.

Then I found out the original message was "avoid fruits and nuts- you are what you eat."

mhm.

I'm sick and it's 86 degrees outside.
When did this happen?!

devoid of any sense of time management

the view from my bed:

goodbye humpday

hello weekend!

although the beginning of the week was whatev (nights were fun though) i am anticipating the weekend which begins at 10:50am tomorrow! well maybe after i get off of work at 6 it'll really begin.

i stayed the longest i've ever stayed at work- but it was quite eventful. I'm not going to go into great detail because what I find amusing, other may find boring, and I know being able to say whatever you want is at the forefront of all a blog stands for but I honestly don't feel like typing about it.

Anyway,

It's always funny to learn that co workers, past school mates, etc. are habitual drug users, mainly because you it's always the person you least expected. (which is almost always true) perfect, or not so perfect example, moi.

Closer Connections.

I read this somewhere and it was funny at the time:

With alcohol, it's a poison that's entering your body and making you feel 'drunk'.
You have : liver failure, liver deterioration, alcohol poisoning (can cause death)
With weed, you have : build up of all sorts of shit in the lungs, breathing problems. That's it. Nothing to die from, whatsoever.
If ANYONE, EVER says that someone has died from weed, they're lying. It is IMPOSSIBLE to die directly from smoking the buddha stank. You WILL pass the fuck out before you get to the point where you have an overdose of THC.

While the latter is a little appeasing, I happen to consume/intake/inhale both.

my favorite part of that thing i found online was : " You WILL pass the fuck out "
it reminded me of "Don't have sex. You will get pregnant. You will die."


I can't help but be excited when things go well. I got a cover story for my marquee article. Even though it's just the Cypress Chronicle woo hoo (circulation is probably something along the lines of.... 20- not really though) it's still makes me feel like as if I've found my niche. (but I'm not into it- it being news reporting)



change of proposed life plan:

graduate
work in the city so i have a reason to move in with someone
work+masters


i'm a little distracted so tootles.

au natural

today my professor's laptop wasn't working with the LCD screen so she asked the class if anyone wanted to lend their laptop for the duration of the class. I would have done it, except last time I readily handed my laptop to be used for academic purposes, I forgot that everyone would see my desktop, which happened to be an embarrassing picture at the time.


whateva!

thug means not having to apologize

school shizz
loopholes loopholes loopholes

I'm an introvert, intuitive, feeler, judger. INFG= Idealist

sometime I don't know if I can believe these personality tests. My results rarely directly match up to my career choice. Apparently I should be something along the lines of Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt, Princess Diana, or Mikhael Gorbachev.


it's november already!

halloween is over but i thought this was cute
