Just call me leather skin bubble lady

aaaaaaaaallas! i am back from the sunshine state. i must say i really dont want to be here right now. i had a fantastic vacation and was about ready to ask what courses florida university offered when petit walked upstairs to tell me the car was all packed. ....i cant give all details relating to the trip so if u want to hear all the crazy stuff you'll just have to ask BUT here is a brief summary of the events: the apartment we stayed at ended up being pretty much a condo with a pool and hot tub and (being the girl) i either slept on the couch or with rob every night instead of the floor. and the ocean was (barely) warm enough to go in-so all in all, the trip was a lot better than expected. and nobody got on each other's nerves too bad until the car ride back when chris said keith and i were acting like brother and sister. considering we had no radio/cd player, sat in rush hour traffic, waited 20 mins at a tollbooth b/c the car in front of us was retarded, i could barely reach the gas pedal, and a circuit went out so the dash lights and back lights went out and we had to pull over to fix it, im considering there was reason for why we were at each others throats. and because he's a jackass. some events of break:

-we didnt ever go to the bars but got drunk several nites. one nite in particular everyone was sloppy i ended up breaking my toe dancing.
-first nite we were down there ended up going to hooters along the beach and keith was so smashed that he was doing calistenics on the railing while we waited two hours for a table
-went to the hot tub at the apt one nite and i got bit by a mosquito. forehead swelled up the size of a golf ball. im sorry to report there are no pics of this (at least to my knowledge)
-tried to kidnap a goose two nites. the second time one of the guys we were with managed to grab onto one by its neck
-these geese look like roosters and apparently are endangered and very protected
-someone turned their sprinklers on us
-keith and i got SUNBURNT on tue so bad we couldn't be out in the sun for the rest of the trip. im still pretty red but finally healing to the peeling process and was lucky enough only to get a few blisters.
-had about a million other injuries/allergy attacks throughout the trip but honestly if u know me there's no point in mentioning them

Good Stories?

no not really. im sorry. went home this weekend and i have to say it's the first time i think ive been homesick in two years (and freshman year i didnt really miss home i just hated being at school). dont really know why i feel that way. but i do. dont really know why im writing a blog about nothing-i guess so u know (secret admirer) what ive been up to. we finally met the neighbors for real to the left of us last week. hung out with them for several hours and (hormones will be hormones) i already have called dibs on two of the six that were out there. i doubt anything really will happen, but its just natural to point out which ones i would be interested in if the situation presented itself. one is real cute and the other is real cool but not too cute. he's my favorite. we bonded together by going to the liquor store. (hopefully they're not reading this right now-not that they have this address or that they even know much more about me than my first name but maybe i should be more conscious of what i post online). i guess thats all im going to write about for now. if u have any ideas of something more interesting that i could write about, let me know. and everybody wish hillary a happy birthday. she's going to be 29!!! today only one year left!!!

Hillarious!

hillary is reading a new book and has been posting some of its "inspirational" parts. i'd highly recommend clicking on this link and getting more in touch with feeling better about urself. on a sidenote, hillary, my prettiest toe is also my index. this toe on my right foot has a blister that boasts a truly gorgeous rosy hue. i dont think u could even achieve this color if u were to slap ur cheeks roughly 48 times in the freezing cold.

My apologies (as if anyone cares)

i have been rather busy lately, or according to my low standards of what being busy consists of. i cant even remember the last day that i didn't have at least a few hours of homework-probably was a couple of weeks ago. i apologize for not keeping my audience (deborah) informed on my activities. here is some news:

1. im starting to actually tutor people next week on their writing-no more just observing sessions for me. im pretty nervous considering we all know im about the bluntest person in the world and dont have much experience with giving people nice criticisms. idk how successful this will be, but in the long run, i think it will improve my abilities to interract with people. for example i will learn how to talk like mom's cult recommends (instead of saying why did u do this, i have to word it friendlier-if thats even a damn word)

2. spring break is march 11 and i was planning on going home for a few days, rebonding with roxeanne, seeing brody etc. however i just learned after a TWO HOUR conversation with gma that that's when the family's going to the grand canyon. i have been invited to go, but somehow my idea of a break does not consist of hanging out with my sickly grandparents and my mother 24/7 for an entire week no matter how much i love them. so maybe i'll go down to florida with keith after all. or maybe i'll go up to chicago to see deb for a few days, but i doubt she has time for this. come to think of it i could block out keith's annoying ass and his friends if i were getting a tan (not that i dont love him) (not that my body could ever aquire a tan).

3. bashley's 21st bday is sun/mon so i imagine i will be staying in tonight to do all the hmwk that is due mon-wed. wed is included b/c i will be so hungover on tuesday from going out both sun and mon that i will not want to do all of my hmwk. it's midterms damnit. i have not yet finished his stupid bday present, and i dont think i will. all i can say is he better fucking like it cuz i dont ordinarily put forth an effort in people's gifts (deb has yet to get her bday present from me and her bday was december-but i claim this is b/c she was supposed to buy a sweatshirt and i was supposed to give her money. maybe i'll go to the mall this weekend) it's another kid's 21st bday fri/sat so i know i wont stay in on sat. i swear its soembodys 21st bday every weekend since the semester began. by the time it gets to mine, im going to be all partied out. for some reason i dont enjoy drinking as much as i used to. i can guarantee u it is not b/c i am growing up.

4. its that time of year again when i wear the zip up sweatshirts as coats to class. i often wonder whether it's best to zip up the sweatshirt halfway, all the way so the t-shirt is completely covered, or to not zip at all. usually its still too cold in the morning so i have to opt to zip it up all the way and i feel this makes me look like a dork (a westfall). any advice from u fashionistas on whats the best way to wear a zip up?

the weekend
