I can't look myself in the eye. Creepy. Have you ever been doing something in front of a mirror like brushing your hair or teeth and got that wierd feeling. I can't really explain the feeling. It's like realizing you are who you are. It also feels like your mind was empty before that moment, and then you are suddenly thinking. Or like you are no longer just going through the motions but have a choice. The feeling isn't all that complicated though. Anyway I got that last night when I was brushing my hair. It's happened before but it felt stonger and lasted longer last night. It always feels so creepy. Afterwards I always feel like my thoughts are empty again. Well that's all I can really say about it cuz that's all I know about it. If anyone who reads this has ever had that feeling or knows what it's called PLEASE e-mail me! I spend most of my life NOT thinking. Actually it's more like my thoughts are all so fleeting and meaningless they might as well have never have happened. My whole life is just "going through the motions". I've been having a good day today. I got up at about 9:30 and got my homework done. Got to class late but it's wasn't a big deal. It's been snowing the last few days. It is really pretty out. It's actually stopped snowing now and the sky is blue and there are a few white puffy clouds. After class I shoveled our driveway and sidwalks and part of my neighbor's walks. It felt good. My pup had fun out in the snow. She HATES water but LOVES snow. She's a little freak. My other dog isn't fond of either but tolerates water. Well after that I went and got a Crispy Chicken from McDonalds and it was really good. I brought that home and then folded some clothes. Then my pop came home and we ran around town trying to find a place that could sell us some tires for my car. Then I came home and started this. Anyway that's all I have for right now.

Howdy! Man do I like this program! Yesterday was exciting! Well not really so much but I did kill a black widow spider! Now I have to clean the whole house and KILL THE EVIL SPIDERS! I'm pretty sure it came from my room with my laundry (it was on the washing machine when I killed it). Yesterday I washed my car. Is it just me or does it feel like a car runs better when it's clean? I can't wait to get my new car stereo. Right now I've got my portable cd player hooked up to a tape adapter. That's how it's been since I got the car a year ago. I really don't want to go to work tomorrow. I hate my job ^_^. It's boring and I always feel uncomfortable there. It wouldn't be so bad if there was actually WORK to do, but all I do is dust and straighten things. DOG is whining at me. She always does this, when I'm on my pc she'll just come over and start whining. I don't know what she wants. I just put her outside about 2 minutes ago. I'm getting aggravated with her. Gotta go to class. Later

What a weird day. I've been feeling so sick and tired lately. I got quite a bit of stuff done with my webpage today but not as much as you would think for the amount of time I spent doing it. I hate 8:00 classes. My nose is so stuffy. I wouldn't mind it so much except that when I sleep I suffocate. When I'm all congested like this I end up sleeping with my mouth open which leads to a really dry mouth. Sorry this post is sucking. I'm tired but I just wanted to use this cool program again. I have to get up extra early tomorrow and try to figure out how to use the command prompt better and write a program that divides with a remainder. Dumb. Plus I have a few tests tomorrow and I need to fit in a shower somewhere. Off to bed I go.

This is nifty. I just downloaded this program called w.bloggar. This post is to test it out. I really really really like how it automatically detects what I'm listening to and puts it up. SPIFFY!

[Listening to: The Test - Chemical Brothers - (07:49)]

1. What vehicle do you drive? A 1989 Pontiac Grand Prix

2. How long have you had it? About a year

3. What is the coolest feature on your vehicle? The soon to be installed stereo I just bought. Yippee!

4. What is the most annoying thing about your vehicle? Sometimes it doesn't start right away. And the doors open REALLY wide.

5. If money were no object, what vehicle would you be driving right now? A Shelby cobra GTO I suppose...don't really care too much though...maybe a moped.

My third day of work was a lot better than my first or second. It's turning out pretty nicely actually. Still kinda boring and today (and yesterday) I've had a whopper of a headache. A great remedy for a pesky headache is to relax outside on a nice day! I feel MUCHO BIEN! So far the best thing about my new job is the music! It's not like radio or anything but today they played Incubus, The Moody Blues, Coldplay, and the Red Hot Chili Pepers!!! Other than that there's nothing new. I'm going to try to get a photo gallary up on my webpage and get my web design project (an Ode to Ramen Noodles) done sometime tonight.

1. Who is your favorite singer/musician? Why? Brandon Boyd of Incubus or Hikaru Utada. Because they can both sing and their music moves me.

2. What one singer/musician can you not stand? Why? Mariah Carey her personality annoys me and she is a note hog.

3. If your favorite singer wasn't in the music business, do you think you would still like him/her as a person? Absolutely on both counts.

4. Have you been to any concerts? If yes, who put on the best show? I've been to a few like Three doors down, The Newsboys, Lifehouse, Jars of Clay, a few others I can't remember (remember, I live in a desolate part of Montana and very few concerts are held nearby). Incubus was definitely the best.

5. What are your thoughts on downloading free music online vs. purchasing albums? Do you feel the RIAA is right in its pursuit to stop people from downloading free music? I can only base my opinion on personal experiences and in my experiences I've bought more cd's after downloading songs from the artists than I ever would've if I hadn't heard the songs first. There's just something about opening a cd for the first time and listening to it in a car. I think the RIAA is way off base. I might rant about that on my rants page sometime.


Listening to: 311 ~ Don't Stay Home

Whoo hoo! Long time no blog! A lot has been happening lately. My emotions have been on a rollercoaster ride recently and I haven't been motivated to write. But man is there a lot to talk about!

Well, first off, on March 26 my family recieved horrible news. My cousin Chris commited suicide. :_:~ His was the first death in my family that I was seriously affected by. My grandmother on my father's side passed away in '98 I think but for some strange reason (possibly youth), it didn't affect me as much as Chris' passing did. There are other factors that made is death more tragic. He was young, has a 3 and a half year old daughter, and had a great happy-go-lucky personality.

During this experience I learned a lot about my family and that funerals aren't unbearably sad (although I was VERY emotional most of the time) but rather they are a time to reunite with family and an opportunity to support and reenforce eachother. The funeral was on monday but during the weekend there was an amazing gathering of family at my aunt and uncle's house. I saw my cousin Susie for the first time in many years. I had a blast the whole weekend. I love just sitting around with my family. The funeral was a little hard but I managed to keep my emotions in check.

One positive outcome of Chris's death was that his dog D.O.G. needed a home. We had met D.O.G. once before, about three weeks before Chris's death, this was also the last time we saw Chris. We instantly fell in love with her and when my mom heard that she needed a home she said we would take her. Everything worked out and so we have a new dog in the family. She fits right in and I'm totally in love with her! She is a mix of some sort, possibly part blue heeler, terrier, or maybe border collie. Something like that. Anyway, I'm going to post some pic's of her on my website so go fetch 'em! DOG is very smart and is already learning tricks very quickly. Right now she KNOWS sit, jump, and come, and she is rapidly progressing in laydown, gopher (sit pretty), and drop(let go of the ball stupid!). She is getting along pretty good with our other dog (the cutest pug in the world Kachina!) Kachina has gotten a little jealous a couple times but nothing major. Now they are even starting to play tug-of-war together! I've also been walking them both every day at least once and we've already had many adventures (one involving a lot of mud and another involving scary poodles).
That's about it for home life~ except that we FINALLY got a suburban. It's pretty tricky fitting five people, a fat dog, and tons of luggage into a buick park avanue ^_^'.

Now for JOB news. I finally got one! I'm now an OFFICIAL employee of Thrifty White Drug! Whoo hoo! I'm not really that excited. So far I've worked one day. It was very...boring! That's the downside, the upside is that I like the people I work with and I will GET PAID! MONEY! I've missed you so!! I have been an UNOFFICIAL employee of my Uncle's restaurant for a few years now but that four hour commute was quite a hassle. Now my commute is about five minutes! (Another plus side!)

And finally, my scholastic news. HECTIC HECTIC HECTIC! I think the teachers like to torture the students by making all the projects and assignments due during the most beautiful time of the year! I have three HUGE assignments due between April 18 and 25. Not to mention a speech or two and then it's FINALS! ~_~' I also have to register and figure out what I'm doing next year. (yes...I am the QUEEN of procrastination!)

~Well I guess that's about it! (probably not) I commend you if you've read all of that crap! (or maybe I feel a little sorry for you ^_^)

Konban wa minna! Jee~ it feels good to get stuff done! I just finished a rough draft for my report on crop circles. Very creepy! I've also downloaded Mozilla which so far I LOVE! On top of that I've been messing with customizing XP...Right now everything is bluish purple. I went bowling today and that's about it. I only broke a hundred twice ;_;~ Well that's it tonight. A usual boring day for me. Oh yeah, I guess we're at war now too -_-'... Oyasuminasai (G'night)!
Listening to: Sugar Cult ~ We Come Crashing Down

I just finished watching The Ring. Holy Crap! I think that is the scariest movie I've ever seen but I really liked it. I just have to try to keep those images out of my head @_@'...Well I'm not really tired but I have class at 9AM tomorrow so I'm gunna hop in bed and read Shonen Jump.

I think I've been working on my webpage for about 3 1/2 hours now *_*; but thankfully it's nearly done! I've got some fixing to do and I want to add a lot more stuff but I'm satisfied for now. Today I had a class at 11:00 and that's it! My sister stayed home from school sick and went to the doctor a little while ago and got tons of drugs and stuff. Nothing else has happened today though. Yesterday it was so beautiful! It was raining and everything smelled good and I was in a good mood. It snowed all last night so today everything is all slushy and the weather is dreary. The weekend before last we went to Totten Trail to work and so we got to do a little shopping...well it wasn't really a little shopping. I got a new computer chair that I love and a Swingline stapler! I'm obsessed with my stapler! It's mini and blue even has blue staples! The only thing that kept me from going crazy this weekend because of sholarship applications was the thought of using my new stapler. I think I'm going to name it ~ hmmm...maybe I'll think of something...it's kind of like having a pet rock. I also got Ragnarok the manga. It's really good so far. Plus when I was searching for images from it I stumbled upon Ragnarok Online. I really want to play this game! Anywhoo, we also did A LOT of spring cleaning. My mom decided she wanted her desk back so I got a new desk. This caused a chain reaction so now my brother's room is next to mine and my mom has a new craft room. Not to mention just about every room in our house has been rearranged. This post is becoming a little long... Gomen~nesai ^_^;
