The Perils of French Cooking.

May 12 2006

So I made créme brulèe for a French project.  Everything went fairly well.  No mishaps mixing the eggs and sugar, the hot cream didn't scramble said eggs when I poured it in (one.... tedious.... spoonful.... at.... a.... time....), it cooked, it chilled for six hours (during most of which I finally slept, hahaaa).


I sprinkle the brown sugar on it this morning, then put it in the oven under "broil" to caramelise it.  I go upstairs, comb my wet hair, and start to put volumiser in it -- an operation which took roughly 45 seconds total.


Long story short, I caught the oven on fire.


ON FIRE.


FLAAAAMES were shooting out of the oven, the smoke alarm started screaming, I stand there yelling "WHAT SHOULD I DO?!  WHAT SHOULD I DO?!"  And all Mum can think of to say over the din is, "I HOPE THIS DOESN'T WAKE YOUR SISTER!"  (Wtf?)


In a log home, this is not the best chain of events.


And further proof that I need a hired chef once I move out, or at least a husband who is culinarily inclined.  I am domestically challenged to the extreme.


{{BTW -- the custards, aside from resembling petrified hockey pucks, were unharmed and delightfully edible.}}

wow havent done this in awhile//my day was okay more boring than anything


The Dark Side Has Cookies??!! Sign Me Up!!

May 12 2006

Yeah, I'm kinda poking around on the computer.


 I went to Hastings last night and finally spent my paycheck on something I wanted, not needed!! I got 2 books, a Redwall (Merlfox) and a Pendragon (The Never War). I'm going back tonight and getting another one and maybe a wallet (one with a chain).


 I'm going to my grandparents this weekend and I'm taking Rosette with me. For those of you who just did a double-read, Rosette is the .22 semi-automatic rifle my Pa gave me for my 13th birthday. She shoots like a dream, and it was Pa's when he was my age (he's 61 now). My dad's pistol shoots good too, watch out Pepsi cans... here comes me!


Sorry if I just freaked anyone out. I'm sooooo exited for May 26th, I'm going to the midnight premeir of X-Men 3, in costume at that!! Woot.


I popped a filling out yesterday, so my jaw hurts like crap and I have this gaping hole of doom in my tooth in the back. I've been using wax (it's actually for Cami's braces, but I need it worse that she does right now) to plug it up and keep stuff out. that hasn't worked excellently, but it works untill I can get to the dentist's.

Ok, so I'm going to do it, I have been putting it off for about a month, and on monday, I'm going to talk to you... you probably know who you are if you put 2 and 2 together, and I have been scared and shy, which isn't often, and so on Monday I'm doing it, so if you avoid me, I'll be sad, but some how, some way I'm going to do this, b/c I need to do it, and yea, you have a phusebox, and you are my friend, so if you read your friend's post and have read down this far then you know, but yea, ok, I'm done

What's up with this chick? Who can make up the funniest story?

Sccchhhooooool's out for summer! 


                Sccchhhooooool's out FOREVER!


So, no more school for me. Fuck yeah. It is quite sad though. Went to Oakland talent show last night, had fun. Got kicked outta Taco Hell. Had Guitar Hero party. Woo hoo. Goin back to Oakland Monday to see Boss Tweed again. Thats all ive got...




This wonderful song moment made possible by Alice Cooper.

Whew!

May 12 2006
As you know, the semester is over.  My husband and I both remain victorious, having earned 4.0s this semester.  It was not exactly a fun semester, but there have been worse ones.  Next semester will be a bit easier, as Daniel will be in daycare.

The Tennessee Tech daycare is supposed to be a wonderful daycare.  It better be since we've been on a waiting list for a spot since January, 2005.  That's right - we've been on the waiting list since 8 months before Daniel was born.  We are FINALLY number one on the waiting list.  The beginning of this August, children from the preschool class will move to kindergarten, children from the toddler class will move to the preschool class, and children from the infant class will move to the toddler class.  There will finally be a spot for our little boy, just in time for the beginning of the semester.  FINALLY.

Jeana and Randy are coming to visit today.  Randy is teaching a motorcycle class this weekend, so Jeana will be spending her time playing with Daniel here.  I know she's really not looking forward to it.  She doesn't even like that baby.  ;) 

In case you haven't heard, my tiny, helpless little boy is now a gargantuan, speed-crawling, property-destroying, adorable chunk of doom.  He weighs 19 1/2 pounds, he's eating us out of house and home, and the kitty lives in fear.  Like my sister Sarah did, Daniel will spot the kitty, giggle in a menacing and slightly maniacal  way, and then crawl after him at speeds that would astonish you.  Zeus has been remarkably patient, which is good.  I love Zeus, but if he claws the baby, Zeus is the one who gets the boot.  I know it will be in self-defense as the baby determinedly attempts to eat Zeus's ear, but still, Zeus will be the one sitting on the front porch.  Poor kitty.  At least his arch-nemesis is still cute.

good times, great oldies...

May 12 2006

last night steve and i had a date for the first time in FOREVER!! it was really nice. we were going to shop for his room and bathroom (my grad present to him) and then to go the movies, but shopping ended up taking a little longer than we thought (who knew sheets were so expensive!??!) so instead, we decided to go to the late movie and go eat at outback. well, outback ended up taking too long as well, so we just didn't go to the movie. we went back to his place and watched k-19 (i think that's the name of it) on AMC.  i know i hang out with him all the time, but there's just something different about a date. gah - i just love him so much!! ladies, i've got the best man out there...sorry!


anyway, i get to sleep in tomorrow!! i'm so excited! but then i have to be at work at 7am on sunday and then 8am the next M-F. ugh....but then i think i can start sleeping in again. yipee!


i started reading the da vinci code and it is SOOO GOOD! (anybody get memories of teen girl squad right then? i sure did...) anyways, yeah, it's fast paced and i just can't put it down. i just started reading it yesterday so i'm only on page 50 so i haven't gotten into any of the secret or contoversial stuff yet. i'll keep ya updated tho.


anyways, i'm out. i've got work to do. (HA!)

SCHOOLS AMOST OUT

May 12 2006

West Side Story "Oscars" today!

May 12 2006

only 9 awards! i wonder who will win



my last full day of high school...



"It's on my lips.
It's in my dreams.
It's a story told by two.
You say you want to be happy.
You've already been so many times.
What do you want?
What's lacking?
Where will you turn?"
-Ayu (Boys & Girls)


*sigh of relief*

May 12 2006

hey guys!!! i'm home for 2 1/2 weeks!!! HECK YESS! LET THE SUMMA BEGIN!!!


*sigh* it's good to be home....


p.s. I'M A SOPHOMORE!!!

an end and a beginning

May 12 2006
so i've just about finished the web site i told you guys about a while back.  i'm actually stuck until i get more info from Mike.  i'm pretty pumped since it was my first website to ever sell.

i haven't been paid yet, so i don't want Mike getting any business from the site yet (though it's online and fully functional).  i don't want google to index it, so i'm not going to post up a link, but I will when i get paid.


i sold my second site!  last friday i learned that i wasn't going to be able to get hired until about June 10.  that put a severe dent in my financial plans for the month.  so i went about selling another web site.  it was a One Shot, One Kill thing.  i targeted one business and sold it to that very first business.  i'm going to split it with my little brother, paul, though i could do it all myself.  paul needs the money, though.

he's got a better eye for style than i do.  he's pretty much going to be in charge of making sure all the content is going to look good on the page.  i'm going to be in charge of gathering content and making sure that the look (as well as content) of the site is what the company wants.  as far as actual content entry, we'll split that according to who has how much work to do at that moment.

anyway, i sold that bad boy for $1,000.  i have a final meeting to solidify the agreement (probably have some written contract) next wednesday, but it's pretty much a sure thing.  i'm excited.  selling one website to a sucker is easy.  selling a second website to two computer-literate people is a bit harder.

Trent's TOP TEN

May 11 2006
So I'm very excited to say that I have made Trent Ashcraft's TOP TEN list for the semester.  This is very prestigious and I'm very proud to have made it.  Many people at the BSU are slightly upset because they believe that he put me on there because he felt like he had to which is not correct.  I earned that spot honestly and fairly.  And not only did I make the list, I'm number one.  That's awesome.  I think to put up with Trent, I deserve to be number one.  It only makes sense.

All my school obligations are over.  I do have to work commencement and go listen to a review tomorrow but other than that, nothing else.  So I'm just taking it easy and hanging out.  I'm also trying to pack up my room.

Trent put my refrigerator in his storage unit, so that was very nice of him.  Unlike what I thought, I am bring home my tv because my new roommate will already have hers so that is good.

On a sadder note, Saturday will be my last day with Trent until August unless, by some miracle, he can come see me before I leave.  And there is no halfway point really, and I don't want to drive through Cincinnati, so I don't know what to do.  I hope I get to see him.  I am going to miss him a lot.  He truly kept me sane throughout this semester and I'm excited about next semester.  I know that I will miss him a lot over the summer but he will have a good time in London.  I hope I will be able to see him in London this summer.

Anyways, lets talk about something good for a change.  I don't want to be upset or sad.  That boy brightens my day like no other has before and he would not want me getting upset over him.  I can't wait to get home to my mommy and daddy before I have to leave for training and Poland.

Well, that's all for now.  I will talk to ya'll later.

Math AGain?

May 11 2006

Math Again?

So today was different.  Even though I spent just around four
hours working for the church, I then spent seven hours, from four
thirty to eleven thirty, doing more algebra homework than I've ever
done in my life.

I went over to help a friend of mine, David Hoback, with a huge amount
of on line algebra course work he had to get done by tonight. 

We took section after section, quiz after quiz, and tests, and it stunk

But the worst thing of it was, that it wasn't easy.

This most certainly had to be the hardest "algebra" I'd ever covered.

I mean, I was going over things I remember learning in Pre-Calculus!

It was nuts.  I mean, to be honest, I just had some high level algebra kick my butt.

I had to learn all kinds of new stuff, and teach it I guess, and do it.

Ugh, it was an.. interesting ordeal.

And to think, I thought I was done with math of any substantial difficulty in life.....

Prom!

Sweet 16 and Never Been Kissed ....

May 11 2006

Well, not really ... not 16 and certainly have been kissed at least once or twice.  Monday, 15-May is my 48th BD.   Under normal circumstances, I would celebrate the event (on that day) with all my might ... but celebrating on Monday doesn't feel right.  So, tonight, Friday, Decy and I will celebrate my birthday.


About 3 years ago while in Portugal, I bought a 1958 bottle of port ... it was quite expensive.  I have been saving it for my 50th birthday (you can do the math).  BUT, lo and behold, it appears I won't be here in Angola to celebrate the momentous event ... and I don't want to risk losing or breaking the bottle during the move .... so, Decy and I decided we would enjoy the bottle tonight.


Now, how does a person enjoy such a special bottle?  Only with special friends that would truly appreciate what is about to come out of that old, old, old bottle (yikes, I feel old now).  So, Decy and I have invited Franck and Valerie Boursier (a french couple) over for dinner tonight .... no doubt we will have a wonderful dinner ... snacks, meal, port, conversation ... and probably karaoke ....


Stay tuned for a Saturday phusebox-post ... with a pic or two .... in the meantime, I have some work to do ....


Ciao ciao ...

Ok not really anything going on today, but I did go out to eat with my family (which is like the craziest thing you will see in weeks).

I haven't been doing much at school lateley so yeah that means school's almost out!!!!  Yes!!  That makes me sooo happy except that I have to be a freshman and that's means back to the bottom of the food chain...oh well, that's Ok.

Today was crazy in band.  I almost passed out because I had a headache and still had to play which was really bad.  I didn't do very well today if you know that passing out during that class is deadly!!  But I still made it through the day so yeah that rocked I guess...

Love you all,
Bubi~

Chattanooga!!!

May 11 2006
I am off to Chattanooga tomorrow for my brother's wedding and then again for SECTIONALS!!! I actually did it. I made the goal I set at the beginning of the season, to make sectionals. I ran a 13:10 for 2 miles and I got 2nd. I was in the lead for 6 laps, but the girl pacing off of me passed me. I think she got sick of being spitted on about 10 times ;)

Transitions and a Celebration

May 11 2006

Well, in case you live under a rock, school has FINALLY let out for the summer. I don't know about anyone else but I was glad to say farewell to this semester, the classes at least. What I didn't realize when I was doing it was that this was my last semester of real classes. AT least in undergrad. Its really hard to believe that college is nearly over for me. In one respect it feels as if it just started yesterday and in another it feels as though I've lived a lifetime. In some ways I guess I have, I've changed a great deal. Grown even more I hope. But now its on to bigger and better things.


Am thrilled to announce that I am the newest intern at Rutherford County's District Attorney's Office!!!! I start in the fall! I'm extremely ecstatic, especially since I've been chasing this since December.


Anyway other than that not much to report, wedding planning is going well, places are reserved, bridesmaid's dresses are in, next is a photographer and a dress I hope.


Guess that's it for now. More Later MEW

He wants to cease treatment.  His intuition tells him that if he doesn't have surgery and just goes home that he'll do just fine.  The doctors think he's a little nutters.


When we left at about 1:30 eastern time this afternoon, he still had to talk to his priest, his family doctor, and the psychiatrist that his hospital doctor summoned for consultation.  I don't think that any of them will be able to convince him that he needs to stay in the hospital and have the surgery, but whatever happens will happen.


The only time I got really upset was when they told me I couldn't go in the room because I've been coughing for the past two weeks.  My mom gave the head nurse the "Her grandfather's going to die and she hasn't seen him in five years" speech and I got to put on a surgical mask and go inside.


I was in there for 10 or 15 minutes before he even realized it was me.


First he thought I was Koren, my brother's fiance.


Then he thought I was one of his nurses.


When I pulled my mask off for a few seconds and my mom said, "Umm, no.  Your grand-daughter Sarah," he laughed a little and looked kind of embarassed.


Silly man.


If there's a funeral, it'll probably be in the next three weeks.  If one isn't needed, I'm going to go see him again after school gets out.

surrender-v. to relinquish possession or control of to another
pride-n. an excessively high opinion of oneself; conceit


pride has to be the worst problem among teenagers. we hate being shot down or corrected. i know that when someone corrects me, i will shoot back with an excuse. i find it so hard to listen to the correction i am being given and take it into consideration. i want to be right. i love to win, and by being corrected, my ego and pride are then crushed. i have to surrender. i have to understand that i dont know it all; at times i think that i do. but i totally dont! i have to surrender to Christ. i have to surrender to my parents. i have to surrender to the correction being given and understand that it is helpful, and that i will need it. Christ puts us in situations, win or lose, we will always prosper and grow. we cant let our pride get in the way of what God is trying to teach us. this is my challenge to yall- put your pride down. let God move in you and dont ignore His correction. because, HE is the ULTIMATE.


Proverbs 3:11-12
my child, dont ingnore it when the Lord disciplines you, and dont be discouraged when He corrects you. for the Lord corrects those He loves, just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights in. 


Info on the Music Video

May 11 2006
This information is for those who showed interest in helping me with my music video or think they may be interested:

Props needed:
-Full-length mirror (I have one but I would rather use a nice one)
-Framed picture of girl and her ex-boyfriend (I have lots of frames - just need the picture)
-Two different jackets or a shirt and a jacket – one needs to be on hanger – jacket she wears needs a hood – preferably plain and black
-Messenger bag (just bought one tonight for personal use that we can use)
-At least two flowers - dasies
-Paper airplane(s) Places needed:
-Girl's bedroom
-Stairs of hallway where girl sneaks past fighting parents
-Front door of girl's house
-School bathroom
-School classroom
-Wherever girl goes – random street, etc.
-Wherever I get random shots from
-Wherever guy and girl talk

People:
I have Ashley, Zach, Ben, and Katie jotted down to help me to fill in my bigger roles. I can definitely use some extras. I need some people to bully the main guy around. I also need some random people for a part of the song without lyrics. I was going to have different people going through various struggles. For example, I already have a shot of a girl contemplating killing herself with pills, and another one with a girl upset with her homework grade. I need people to help me with other things like that. I would really like two adults (one man, one woman) to help me out by arguing with one another, but I can probably work around it. However, I think the video would be effective with it.

I'm going to be gone all next week so I need to start shooting things the week after next, and I'll be on a time crunch. Please let me know if you can help with anything. The song is called "Take Hold" by Shawn McDonald in case you want to look up the lyrics or buy the song off iTunes. Thanks again for those willing to help.

4.0's and Slow Folks

May 11 2006
There was this girl in my biology classes this past semester.  Nice girl... we'll call her Susie.  As I said, Susie was a nice girl; I'd like to say more good things about her, perhaps that she is intelligent and will be an asset to society in her chosen profession, but unfortunately, I cannot. 

Imagine my surprise when I open the spring graduation program this morning in the Honors Office and am scanning it for people I know, when I see Susie's name and the double cross demarcation next to it, signifying that Susie has graduated after four years of undergraduate instruction with a 4.0 QPA.   Let's just say I was flabbergasted.

As I said, I had a couple of classes with this child.  She no more deserves a 4.0 than I deserve the All-Athletics Award.  The professor for one of these classes was Dr. Goss (pronounced just like the recently retired CIA leader).  She would INCESSANTLY call out "Professor Go-oss!" whenever she needed anything.  This could be anything from a pertinent concern ("I think I just rubbed anthrax bacteria into this open wound on my hand, despite your specific instructions not to!") to the type of question that would make young children cringe ("What question do we begin with on the exam?"). 

Not only are her questions asinine (yes, Virginia, there are stupid questions), but the way she addresses the professor makes me grit my teeth.  As I said, she calls out, "Professor Go-oss!".  She double pitches the professor's last name and turn it into two syllables.  And the professor part is just irritating.  Were she from another part of the country, where the norm is to address all lecturers as "professor," I would overlook it, but she's from this region!  I want to shake her very hard and say, "Susie, sweetie, it's Dr. Goss.  Not Professor, Dr.  And her last name has four letters--one vowel, one syllable, one pitch."  Twitch.

She also cannot get it through her head that I am not in her Molecular Genetics class.  She asked me three times what I thought of the MG homework.  I told her I was not in the class.  At one point, she asked, "Are you sure?"  Yes, dear, I think by the time April rolls around, I know which classes I am enrolled in.  Thank you."  Seriously, she has the IQ of a young head of cabbage.

The other minor irritation of the day was driving down 10th St.  Now, if you've ever ridden with me (or driven behind me), you know that I am not the fastest of drivers.  I usually go the speed limit or a couple of miles below; there are several (read: 15-20) feet between me and the car in front of me.  I believe in cautious driving.  However, this does not mean you should go 12 mph on 10th St. (speed limit=35-45) when there is no traffic on the road. 

Of course, there are exceptions.  Perhaps you are cradling vases of expensive Oriental lilies in your lap, or a rabid squirrel is sitting on the seat next to you, sending telepathic messages that it will bite you only if you go above 15 mph.  Maybe you're having a psychotic episode and feel as though you are the bus driver in Speed.  These are all perfectly normal, everyday reasons to drive 30 miles below the speed limit, and I can understand them.

However, if I am driving behind you, and I can see you and your wife (and your combined ages number higher than the rooms in the White House) pointing out each window at everyone on the street and talking, chances are you are not in crisis mode.  You are in nosy mode.  And when you simply stop in the street to stare at something, you need to not be driving.  And this is coming from the Yenta King.

May 11 2006

so for those of you who thought i died... i didn't



however i have underwent two absolutely horrible days
as i disclosed earlier i don't usually blog about my heath,
but considering i asked for your prayers here's what's transpired so far



i had a colonoscopy today



go on
say it
ewwwwwww
gross
trust me
i know
i'm the one who just had it done



so yesterday was a liquid-only diet
allowing me clear juices, soft drinks, jello and popsicles
no anything red, blue, or green
which removes almost all good flavors



and i 1/2 have results



i'm good except for some spots of inflamation
they took biopsies of those and i find out results on  Monday
sorry for the icky-ness of the blog.
thanks.

I've tried again and again



Almost Friday

May 11 2006

I am so ready for the weekend and out of school.


Okay i need to rant... but only for a few minutes.


I am okay with my mom subing in my school but if you are not then get over it. she had been subbing in this school for a while and is trying to get a teaching position there. and tell her you dont want her to sub in any one of your classes is just really immature. If you complain about her subbing and ruin her chances of getting a stable job i will it very hard for you.


Oaky i feel better... well not really but hopefully soon.

mini vacation

May 11 2006
What a week!  It's been a bit hectic.  Maybe it's just me but things seem to have piled up a bit and I don't handle that too well.  When there are several things that need to be done at the same time I seem to go into overload mode and sort of freak out.  I CAN'T HANDLE THE PRESSURE!!!!  

So how am I gonna handle it?  I'm going out of town!  Randy is teaching a motorcycle safety class in Cookeville this weekend.  It just so happens that 3 of my most favorite people live there and are available this weekend.  So...

Randy and I are going over on the motorcycle on Friday and won't be back until Sunday evening.  Randy will work and I will play - with my grandson!  He's... well... practically perfect in every way!  I do love that little boy!  I'm pretty crazy about his parents too of course.  We're gonna hang out and piddle around and talk baby talk and who knows what else.

Yes, it stresses me a bit to leave town with knee deep grass in my yard and a dirty house and graduation plans to think about but I console myself by remembering that it'll ALL be here waiting for me when I get back.  ugh.

That's okay - it'll get done - or it won't.  Some things are more important than a clean house and a nicely kept yard.  This is one of them!  Time with people I love and some rest and relaxation rate high on my list of important things.

Ya'll have a fantastic weekend!  I sure plan to!!!

smooches~

Well, West Side Story is over. Now I don't know what to do with myself. The last night went very well and was a ton of fun. Chris got me a dozen roses!!!!!! That made me very happy. :) After the show we all went to IHOP for a late night breakfast and had a blast. It was pretty crazy, we were pretty crazy! That night was a bittersweet night. Lots of tears and laughter. Tomorrow will be my last day in Chamber Choir. Oh how I will miss it. :( But on to bigger and better things....I hope. It's all happening so fast. I'm about to be pushed out into the "real world". I don't know if I'm ready. I can't believe its all over. Well, I guess its not all over, but life as I know it now is. Well, I'm gonna go before I get all emotional. I love you guys!

Sample Stuff, Please Read

May 11 2006

Ya so I am really board so I am going to type something out of my book, and maybe one of my poems, but not my best poem just in case it really is good and someone decides to steal it.









           Okay this is one of my new poems it is called









                    The Blood of my Eyes









Everything is silent and dead                                                            



All around the scent of decay seems to linger     



It crawls through my nose then into my head




















Suddenly I collaps with agonizing pain                                                  



I fall to my knees with a cry                                                     



Clawing at my eyes to get to my brain




















Something had invaded my mind                                                       



To plunder my thoughts                                                                      



I let out a horrid screem because now I am blind







             Like I said, that is one that I do not consider my best poem, as a matter of fact, I am not very good at wrighting poems at all. I fell I am much better at wrighting stories and books. So here is a sample of one of my stories...actually it is all I have so far of it. But by the time I am finnished it will only be a sample. So if anyone at all ever reads any of this please leave me a comment about it, I dont care if you think it will hurt my feelings or whatever just tell me if you like it or not and why.









                A Knock on my Window









     Why I was board was just as much  mystery as how to cure my boardom. It seemed fate had dashed all of my hopes of reaching a=someone on hte phone, and past report card grades had ruled out watching T.V., or playing computer. So that left me with absolutly nothing to do except write.









     I picked up my pen and began to not only write my thoughts but feel them leave and mark on every line of the page. The world around me seemed to fade away and all that existed was myself and the pages of my journal that were beginning to fill and overflow with ink from my pen.









     Then with no warning at all I heard a searies of loud rapid pangs on the window across my writeing desk, pangs  that shatterd my consintration and brought me tumbeling back to the present. Just my imagination I told myself, and continued working. But the noise came again, more urgent this time, "I couldn't have imagiand that." I mumbled to myself as I stood.









     I made the short journy over to the lacked windo with quiet caution, stepping over and around te objects that litterd the floor of my room. Who gose around knocking on windows at 11:00 o'clock p.m.?









     The floor vient numbed my feet with cold air as I stood infrount of the darkend glass, giveing it my best effort to look through the glareing reflection cast by the desk light. All I could see was part of the street outside that was lit by te orange glow of the street light. But nothing that could have been around my window, much less been knocking on it.









     I turnd around thinking that I mingt be going crazy, untill another set of rapid knocks sounded from behind me, causeing my heart to jump into my throte and skip a beat.









    I turnd to see who it was that had scared me so cleverly, but was stopped in mid-turn by a painfull contact between my little tow and the bet post. I stiffled a cry, and knelt to grip my foot in agonie, listening to what sounded like muffeld laughter from outside the window.









               That is just a sample of it, I thought about typeing all of what I have written so far but that would take to long, and if I make this entrie to long no one is going to want to read it, and I would really like for someone to read it and tell me how boaring it is.

Actions > Words.
{{And yes, I am happy about that article.}}


Tax refunds > ....Um, no tax refunds??


Yeah.  I can't think of anything else that would sustain that method of communication.


Once more, I find myself living for the weekends.... I heart faire more than probably quite literally anything else.  Even chocolate, go figure.


"Listen.... Do you want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to tell?  Woah wooooaaaaaah,
Closer.... Let me whisper in your ear....
Say the words you long to hear....
I'm in love with yo-ou.
(Woo-oo-ooooooooo-oo.)


I've known the secret for a week or two....
Nobody knows, just we two....


Listen.... Do you want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to tell?"

What has been going on

May 11 2006


I love this pic, I found it on the net somewhere. Any way, I have got people at school that everytime they see me they ask, "Have you finished your book yet" or "Have you finished that one story yet." and my universal answer is "No" But no matter how annoying these people get, someone asking me about my writeing makes me feel very good about myself. I am trying to find a recent pic of myself for my profile pic, but I can't seem to find one that I like, or that is within the last year or so. I just don't have one anywhere.


      In other news, I haven't played hackysack in 3 days, and it is absolutley killing me. The only reason for this is that Kat took it from me, and I let her have it untill she forgave me. She told me that she forgave me but keeps forgeting to bring it to give it back, I think I had better just buy another befor I explode.

Not Suprised

May 11 2006
    I guess I had always idealistically hoped that the American Government could be different than all the other governments.  I had hoped they could value things like raising the standard of living, improving education, maintaining citizens' freedoms and rights, etc.  However,  I have been dissapointed, which is my fault for thinking it would be any other way.  I am grateful for the freedom of which I do have- that I have conveniences and such.  However, I do not like that under the current administration my rights are being walked on just a little, or a lot.  The government now thinks they are acting within the law to track all the phone calls Americans make.  I don't think that is possibly legal.  And the Patriot Act- which maybe had good intentions, but it could always be used for personal gain of those in power.  I just think the checks and balances are gone in this country, and we think we have more freedom than we do.  Or maybe we are just slowly losing it.  I don't think we can really just trust the people in power are going to use the information they have for the right things.  They are, after all, just people with agendas and wishes of their own.  And, as we all know, people who get power generally want more.  So I guess I should have never thought that our government would be different; it is run by people...enough said, huh?  Oh well.  I guess it was just a rude awakening (I don't know how I don't see these things sooner).

For All You Starbucks Lovers Out There...

May 11 2006
PROTEST STARBUCKS: Frankenbucks National Week of Action June 19th-25th


Despite years of grassroots pressure, Starbucks continues to serve milk
from cows that are injected with Monsanto's controversial genetically
engineered recombinant bovine growth hormone, also known as rBGH or
rBST. Virtually every industrial country, except for the United States,
has banned the use of rBGH. Milk produced from cows injected with rBGH
poses serious hazards to human health, including increased risks for
cancer. The time has come to kick rBGH off the market, once and for
all. If Starbucks, a major buyer of milk, were to ban rBGH dairy
products in its coffee beverages other major corporations would likely
do the same.

More information can be found at: 

Local Alternatives:  Espresso Joe's on Memorial, Espresso Shelf on Vine Street (near the library).  There are both smoke free.  I think the Clay Cup might be as well.  Supporting your local businesses also keeps the money in the community to make Murfreesboro better!!

Genetic Engineering = bad news.  Read some things about it.  It might be a good idea except for the way they are going about it.  Actually, here's just a preview:

"Over 1600 sheep apparently died this month in
India after ingesting genetically engineered (GE) cotton. The massive
deaths occurred after several days of grazing in fields where
Monsanto’s Bt and herbicide resistant spliced varieties of cotton were
planted. Scientists from India's Centre for Sustainable Agriculture are
calling on the government to launch a study into the impacts of GE
cotton toxins."



Try to be an informed consumer.  I'm trying.  It's a little hard, but not too much work- well worth it, I think.

today!!


come seeeeee

Its slowly coming to a close...

May 10 2006

So High school has gone by so quickly..
you make friends...
   

And your Best friends are there to help you through the tough times.

you learn to take pride in who you are...


&& you learn to experience things.

seasons change...


&& so do people.


but you learn that friendship matters the most...


and without friends... you'd probly be normal.


you grow with a group of people...



and sometimes you get very close



but in the end its all worth it.


as we move on to our Senior year...
we remember our Junior,Sophomore,and freshman years with pride...


and know that even though we may drift from each other...
those memories are what matter most.






These last 3 years have been good...lets finish this last one off in style!

-Maybe clean up the room if I have time

-Go to OHS's talent show


Friday

-Go jobhunting


If anyone knows of any good jobs or anything, let me know cuz that
would be awesome.  Also if anyone wants to hang out and do something
that doesn't cost a lot, I would be more than happy to join in.  Maybe
watch a movie, or play the animal game or something.  Peace!

Well today was cool. During choir we learned new dance to the song "dead man's party." It's fucking rad! I loves it! Aaaat anykate, (hehe). I got to eat at Olive Garden. I love italian. It's so good. This Saturday I get to spend the day with BB. We are going to the aquarium (sp). That's gonna r0x0rz. We still have to decide on where we wanna eat afterwards. Should be interesting. Umm well other than that, it's all good. I'll hit you guys up lata. Peace!

Another extra entry for tonight

May 10 2006
I found out why there were volume and buzz problems with my song - I just had a little crappy copy that didn't have any of the changes which I had made.  So, basically, it's just a straight copy of what I had sung.  Poo.  Hopefully, my stuff will be waiting at the TTU PO for me...I don't know how many times I've said that, but I'm going to keep saying it.

A Walk Down Memory Lane ...

May 10 2006

(song) ... Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away ... how I long for yesterday ...



I telephoned Paul, my youngest son last night.  Today is his last day of high school ... only 2 hours of classes, and then he is done ... forever .... graduation is next Saturday, 20-May.  Seems like only yesterday that I held him in my hand (yes, that is a singular "hand") as a newborn baby.



"Fast forward" back 18 years .... Zany Lady is pregnant with the very impatient soon to be Paul William Morgan ... seems young Paul doesn't want to hang around momma's womb for the normal 40 weeks .... so .... after weeks of bedrest, weeks of medication, and all other types of then medical wonders .... out pops Paul at about 36 weeks.  The kid's kinda small .... in fact .... really small.  How small?  Well, small enough to lay him in the palm of my left hand comfortably .... and so, I nickname him "Peanut" (because he was the size and shape of our pewter peanut-shaped candy dish).  Name sticks ... for years (and to this day) I call him Peanut .... depending on my mood.



Each of you other bloggers, share your life with others ... you are, generally speaking, a relatively young generation .... you think about tomorrow .... with little thought of yesterday.  REMEMBER, to enjoy each and every day .... to thank God for the opportunity to wake up ... to be with your friends, family, and loved ones.  Time passes so fast .... so very fast (doesn't it Josh ?).



At times, I regret my life of being a "desperado" ... and at times, I am thankful for having had the opportunity to travel all over the world.  Taking everything into consideration, I believe my life is richer for having been overseas ... for the people I have met and shared my life with and loved.  I also believe that my being overseas (with the boys having traveled considerably with me), has also shaped Josh, Chris, and Paul into the wonderful people they are today.



I thank God for my family and friends ..... today .... on Paul's last day of high school ..... Go forward my son ... follow the path that God has set before you .... I love you, Daddy. 

Graduation

May 10 2006
Tomorrow is a 2 hour day and then I'm done.  As someone said when asked about graduating, it's bitter sweet.  I'm ready to get out of high school but I'm not ready to leave everyone that is so dear to me.  All I'm gonna say is my summer better be packed full of hanging out with my friends!!!  Anyways, graduation is in almost a week and I need to send out friend invitations.  So if you want an invitation about my party and graduation send me a message on here or something and I will add it to my list.  Thanks guys!  I love you!

So we talked all night about the rest of our lives; where were gonna be when we turn 25...

May 10 2006



So this was June 3rd, 2005.
and October 31, 2004
and i've known this lady too long=)
she turned the big One Six today!!!


These People here {&& the lady behind the camera}
make my world a better place.
and put the little room in my heart for girls.


without this little lady..
I'd probably be unhappy,
and less caring.
she's kinda great.

This girl is a weirdo.
and we have way too much fun with chapstick.
haha {long story}

This girl makes my life worthwhile.
She lights up my life..
and i leart her.

Although he's a brat.
He's my favorite brat.
and we can act silly.
&& i get paid for it..crazy.haha.

yeah.

they make choir worth it.
and are probably the coolest people ever.


I can't live without them.
we have too much history.

I'd be dead if she weren't around.
and she'd probably be a lot less crazy without me.
I guess it's good i have her.

She one of my best.
and one of the most caring.
I'm quite sure i need her no matter what.
she's just amazing.
everyone needs one of her.

My dad; he's a weird guy.
but i guess that's why he's so great..
i mean who else goes around walmart
just to play in the toy isle?

when i need drugs and i'm in a limo.
i know where to go.

We dont' talk much anymore
but we were great friends.
and i learned alot from him.

what a crazy guy.
he made my year much more fun.

This boy turns my grey sky blue.
&& he makes Geometry a little more bareable.
Plus; he's always up for a game of I never.

yeah so last night made me think;
life goes by too fast.
&& looking through these pictures
makes me realize
a.i take too many pics of myself.
b.I need more pics of the people i hang out with.

haha.

Hope everyone has a great week.
&& to all my seniors:

i'll miss you guys next week.

there's an airplane . . .

My Life is Crappy!!

May 10 2006
Why is it that you think some people can be your friend, but they are really not?? You tell something in private and they don't care about your privacy at all. I have a really great guy that hates me now. And I haven't done anything. People need to learn to keep their mouth shut!!!

Bloody friggin stinkin piece of trash

May 10 2006
Chris lost.  My life is over...just kidding...but still, that was moronic.  Idiotic.  Ignoramical.  Enfuriatingly pathetic!  I mean, look at the facial expressions of Katharine, Chris, Taylor, Elliot, Simon, Randy, Paula, and Ryan.  Even Ryan himself seemed to hate himself for having to say it.  I can only hope to God that someone signs Chris to a recording contract.  In my own, always very humble opinion, he deserved to win American Idol by a long shot.  But, as usual, Americans prove their idiocy and inability to differentiate art from feces by projecting the unbelievably sub-par Elliot and Taylor into the next round, while leaving Chris, the true star, out to dry.

On a brighter note, I finished a song today.  Things didn't turn out on it as well as I had hoped...I'm a little pitchy, I get out of time every now and then, and there's about 20% of the buzz still in the final version.  But, when compared to what I had before (a.k.a. nothing, nada, nil, zilch), it's something.  And it was fun to do, at the very least.

I don't know what to say. Some days are better than others. Some days I get so busy that I forget....and then some days.....all I can do is remember.


I'm tired of all of it. The only thing I hate is that I'm not as strong as I "pretend" to be.


And the truth of not being good enough is what hurts the most.....


Life can be ironic.....too ironic.

If there's one thing I hate about a family crisis, it's how you get a billion voice mails, followed by a billion phone calls.


Looks like my grandfather's dying.  Some clever combination of esophogial (sp?) cancer, double pneumonia, and kidney failure.


Not exactly the stuff that inspires great road trips.


Going to North Carolina.  Be back tomorrow afternoon.

LIFE SUCKS BIG TIME

Roller Coaster

He roller-coaster, he got early warning
He got muddy water, he one mojo filter

Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see

father and son

May 10 2006
when i was your age i was just like you
and just look at me now; i'm sure you do
but your grandfather was just as bad
and you should have heard him trash his dad
life's no picnic, that's a given
my mom's mom died when my mom was seven
my mom's father was a tragic guy
but he was so distant that no one knows why
now, your mother's family, you know them
each and every one a gem
each and every one a gem

when i was your age i was a mess
on a bad day i still am, i guess
i think i know what you're going through
everything changes but nothing is new
and i know i'm miserable, can't you see?
i just want you to be just like me
boys grow up to be grown men
and then men change back into boys again
you're starting up and i'm winding down
ain't it big enough for us both in this town?
say it's big enough for us both in this town

when i was your age i thought i hated my dad
and that the feeling was a mutual one that we had
we fought each other day and night
i was always wrong; he was always right
but he had the power and he needed to win
his life half over, mine about to begin
i'm not sure about all this Oedipal stuff
but when we were together it was always rough
hate is a strong word; i want to back-track
the bigger the front, then the bigger the back
the bigger the front, then the bigger the back

now you and me are me and you
and it's a different ball-game though not brand-new
i don't know what all this fighting is for
but we're having us a teenage/middle-age war
i don't want to die and you want to live
it's a little bit of take and a whole lot of give
it never really ends though each race is run
this thing between a father and a son
maybe it's power and push and shove
maybe it's hate but probably it's love
maybe it's hate but probably it's love
