more kitty pics... cuz he's just that cute.

just so you can see how enormous he is.... but isn't he cute...



here is my kitty. and his kitty. he used to sleep with it when he was littler... no kidding.

the morning after...

listening to: portishead <--get it so i'm 18 now... and for once in my life, i really DO feel different. i went to the dandy warhols concert which was fabulous and then i had a nice little party-- comprised mainly of funny little boys that liked to play halo... but it was nice nonetheless. i got nice and tipsy and hitched a ride home... just kidding... a tall dark man on a white horse ;) showed up and kindly took me home. overall it was a lovely birthday and i'd like to thank everyone involved... thanksgiving was nice as well. i spent it with my family at their house which i hadn't been to in over 3 months. i can't really call it home, but it wasn't bad. if anything it was nice spending time with my family and seeing my kittie =) he's so fat. his name is tie. here's a picture of my kittie: isn't he funny-lookin? =) he's all black on top. i may post more pics of him later. he's quite photogenic...

here's me blowing out the 18 (20 if you include the 1 and the 8) candles that my mom put on the cheesecake cake she made me:

i actually blew them all out the first time =) i guess that means my wish will come true... i can't remember what i wished.

so those were the highlights of my break. unfortunately i don't have pics of my party yet... but maybe i'll put some of those up when i get them. have a good week! i must go work on surviving mine...

mad design skills (!!)

this is a little thingy i made for facebook. yes. i'm having a party. here's the details (in case you are lame and don't use facebook):

Date: 11/26/87
Time: 11:00 p.m.
Place: Southern Village; 214 Westgreen Dr.
Directions for people too lazy to look it up: Going south on 15-501, turn right on Arlen Park Dr. This turns into Westgreen and the party is at the very end on the right.

If you're reading this, you're invited. It's not JUST a birthday party... There will be an assortment of beer, liquor, mixed drinks (if you prefer) and lots of good music. Oh, and ice cream cake. So if you're back early from break, feel free to come by and wish me a happy birthday and drink something. Gifts are far from expected, but if you feel compelled, bring some $$ to help cover expenses.

Email me if you plan on coming or if you have questions...

i'm down with the sickness

so it's been an interesting week. and since it's only thursday, i'm quite sure that it's going to continue being an interesting week. i've been feverish off and on with an occasional asthma attack and a liberal sprinkling of coughing fits. i missed 2 of my 3 midterms and won't be able to make them up without a doctor's note (any doctors reading this? -- *call me*). it is officially fall break and no, i haven't gone anywhere. no, i haven't done anything of note. and no, i don't plan to. i may go to the state fair. i may watch some movies. hell, i may even get drunk with an ex i haven't seen in 3 years...and his friend... =\ should be interesting...

i've been spending an unhealthy amount of time at a coffee shop nearby... i say "unhealthy" because i invariably end up consuming more caffeine than i normally would in a week. let's see... yesterday i drank a coke at 6, went to campus, got some japanese food, went to the coffee shop. while there, i had a vanilla coke "smoothie" ;), a mocha, 5 chocolate covered espresso beans, and finally a fruit smoothie with a can of red bull involved... fantastic, btw... officially one of my favorite drinks =) and i actually DID sleep last night from 2 to 10 this morning. it was a rather fitful sleep though. interrupted continuously by some voices in my head. no, i'm not kidding. probably the only reason i was able to sleep was the fact that i've had very little sleep for the past couple of weeks and i've been sick and medicated lately which has completely drained me. i haven't felt like moving all day. i managed to take a shower and watch "million dollar baby" and eat an ice cream cone. now i think i'm gonna catch the next bus to food lion and get some mushrooms and bacon for my omelette =P more later, folks.

to rant or not to rant

so i'm finding it difficult to decide the fate of this blog... should it be a personal rant against the events of my life and the people i surround myself with? or should it just be a general rant against the idiocies of the people that surround me? i personally don't want it to be much of a rant at all, but that tends to be the norm these days... and i DO like to rant... though usually just in conversation. maybe i'm putting too much thought into this... i think i'll just write whatever comes to mind simply for the sake of writing and if it happens to be a rant, we'll all get over it.

-reformatted-

NOTICE: i have officially purged my blog. i fully intend to keep up with it this time and will diligently attempt at least one post a week. this is mainly for my own benefit since i feel that my writing skills are dwindling for lack of use. welcome again.
