10:10 am	woo hoo Guess who won a prize for "best talk" at U Memphis?! Woo hoo my work has been validated!!! I think. Anyway I get a check for $250 and a framed paper. I haven't won anything in a while. Nice feeling. So the people in Florida are really pushing me to take a job there. I think I could be happy there. BUT---why have I not heard back from the ones in Atlanta?? Maybe they didn't receive the cover letter? It's been over a week So this weekend is the Pi Phi house dedication...and we are basically the shit. AND Grand Council is coming. That is kinda a big deal...like if Ron Burgundy showed up.

5:17 pm	Irony? So this has been the most horribly busy week I've had in a while. Brief rundown: -Monday:P Chem Test, work 13 kinetics problems in mathcad -Tuesday:Processing test, finished powerpoint slides edited about 68, 000 times, write 8 page statistics paper, rewrite literature review -Wednesday: rehearse slides, write abstract, drive 5 hours -Thursday: presentation 1 -Friday: I'm off! -Saturday: presentation 2, drive 5 hours back and ive given up facebook for lent hence my sudden need for lj So after all of this i decided "wow i need to get hit by a car today so i can get an extension on all of this" not hard, but maybe in the hip? not the knees or ankles. So imagine my surprise as someone runs the stop sign in front of the polymer building and the dumb bitch almost hit me square in the hip!!! I mean wow, sometimes I get what I ask for. But luckily I dodged the vicious Champagne Camry... so i guess i'll be learning about full factorial designs now On a side note: I have noticed that Sparklemotion only sleeps on the left side of the bed next to my feet. No where else on the bed. Odd. Started taking Alli. Lost 13 pounds. Rediscovered the gym. Slimfast not so tasty but not so horrid either. Raquetball--->poor decision. Loving the soundtrack to the Darjeeling Limited. Can't wait for it on DVD. Favorite Track: Typewriter, Tip, Tip, Tip from Bombay Talkie. Tried Indian food. Rather tasty. I'm sold on it. Also, I was rather disappointed in the Grammy's but if I start bitching now I won't get my homework done so I'll save that for another post. Current Mood: busy (Comment on this)

10:12 pm	I Don't Know Why This Never Occurred To Me Before ...and once again Jenny and Blake crawled inside my head and penned my life... ...I've heard this song so many times but it never occurred to me before this song is my life in a nut shell frequently Sometimes in the morning I am petrified and can't move Awake but cannot open my eyes And the weight is crushing down on my lungs I know I can't breathe And hope someone will save me this time And your mother's still calling you insane and high Swearing it's different this time And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her And that god never blessed her insides Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things And crawl back into bed to dream of a time When your heart was open wide and you love things just because Like the sick and dying And sometimes when you're on You're really fucking on And your friends they sing along And they love you But the lows are so extreme That the good seems fucking cheap And it teases you for weeks in its absence But you'll fight and you'll make it through You'll fake it if you have to And you'll show up for work with a smile And you'll be better You'll be smarter More grown up and a better daughter or son And a real good friend And you'll be awake You'll be alert You'll be positive though it hurts And you'll laugh and embrace all of your friends And you'll be a real good listener You'll be honest You'll be brave You'll be handsome and you'll be beautiful You'll be happy Your ship may be coming in You're weak but not giving in To the cries and the wails of the valley below Your ship may be coming in You're weak but not giving in And you'll fight it you'll go out fighting all of them several things 1) i am so tired of looking at spectra. chem. lit is the most pointless waste of time and I do not understand Chinese-English 2) I am ready for weight loss. I think i'm going to take Adipex or HCG injections. the injections are a)more painful and b)more expensive but i am desperate and tired of trying 3) i had a pep talk from my boss last week. i think he told me i either lack confidence or i should talk myself up more. i think. 4) i am addicted to Pandora and Dlisted.com and it's not even funny. im obsessed and i love it 5) my cats wake me up at 7 am (specifically Sassy more than Sparklemotion) but it is sweet and irritating at the same time 6) I am ready for a vacation 7) the weather is changing. i love fall. something about this weather awakens me and makes me feel alive. more so than other times. this building makes me feel so dead some time. 8) I love new York 2, A Shot at love with Tila Tequila, and Americas Most Smartest Model are great. love it. are those people real? i mean, is anyone REALLY that stupid??? i love it. 9) fill in the rest Current Mood: mellow Current Music: Pandora-Rilo Kiley Radio (Comment on this)

9:13 am	I can't stop thinking about it. Several times over and over in my head all I can think about is Srebrenica. I feel so bad. I just want to know why no one helped. What is the purpose of having the UN if they are just going to sit by and let innocent civilians be massacred in front of them. I thougt we were past things of this nature. I thought it all ended with WWII. I feel sick thinking about it but I feel personally responsible. Why is it that the US has all of this "wealth" and we cannot stop crimes against humanity? I feel compelled to work for the UN and help accomplish something. There's so much I waste that someone else over there would consider precious. I hate waste. I hate people who waste. I still feel sick over it. I can't get it out of my head. I can't imagine not knowing how my family died. Or why my neighbors would want to kill them. At what point is Nationalism out of control? I kinda want to go work for the Peace corp or UN or something or at least help identify the bodies. I think I could be good at that. Helping someone else find peace. And I keep on getting the impression that so many in this world just do not care. Do not give a damn if the person next to them even is hurting or dying or crying for help. Isn't apathy just as bad as not helping? Current Mood: sympathetic (Comment on this)

1:59 pm	Feist and Lifetime Okay so oddity of oddities. I was watching lifetime the other day. Hate all you want, but I love Reba and Still Standing. Well a commercial came on for a new series called Side Order of Life. Now here's the odd part. The song used for the commercial was "1234" by Feist. I like this song. It's a good song. A cool song. Since when did Lifetime get cool?? Cool enough to use a Feist song?! I sat in shock for a few moments before realizing that Sparklemotion (my kitten) was eating my knitting. And it took months to make that half of the scarf. Partially due to my lack of committment to my new hobby. But anyway, check out the video for "1234" its crazy fun. And just for fun because you are all dying to know... Topics of interest I have busied myself with recently: the Yucatan peninsula peace in the Balkans, particularly Srebrenica clicker training my room mates stupid dog possibly toilet training Sparkles finding the molecular weight between crosslinks in latex polymers and that is my exciting life. oh one more notice so i was cooking tacos yesterday and someone knocked on the door to which i replied "come in". they didn't. so I answered it to find an HPD officer. At the time I was wearing no bra, old gym shorts, holding Sparkles in my left hand and I had a mouth full of chips and salsa. It looked like an episode of cops. But they wanted to talk to my neighbor about his truck. I was wondering what they wanted with us. My first thought was noise violation. But yeah point is no one got arrested.

11:15 pm	cracked out and cracked up im in a fancy shmancy mood. i have yet to start my eight thousand hours of p chem homework bvut im in a nice mood. i had a lot of caffeine. feelin good. i had the most fucked up dream the other night. so i kept on trying to get this boy to sleep with me and i was just wearing fishnet tights and heels but i was skinny and had a really nice tan and he wouldn't. and i was like why not? which is weird because i used to be in love with him but im not anymore and i think we dated but im not sure. and we've slept together before but it wasnt like that in the dream and i was like why am i naked and skinny and tan and where are my clothes? and then in the second half of the dream i kept showing up at the place of work of this other guy i was talking to and my friends were with me and we were trying to make it obvious that we weren't stalking him but i kept trying to buy bubble bath and loofah sponges but he doesn't work at a store that sells that so i dont know what was going on. then i woke up and drank some water and realized i forgot to take my birth control pill and almost rolled over on top of the cat who was not pleased that i moved. but how weird is that? i mean that is one weird dream. what the hell. and then the next day i woke up and had no desire whatsoever to attempt to try to get any boy to like me and its really a nice feeling. i just had this whole realization that there is no need to feel excited when boys call or text or are just nice. it doesn't matter. so now i feel liberated and free and i slept really really well. and i dont care if anyone calls or texts or doesn't talk to me or not. i just don't. i kinda feel that all that is important right now is me. it's all about me. and then i had this vision of myself at 35 or 40ish still single and living with 4 cats in a really nice house with areally nice car and im okay spending all of money on me and living just for me, because when it all comes down to it all that really matters is yourself. and maybe a few friends and family members and of course the cats. i also had this feeling of "everything that is supposed to happen will and there is no point in stressing or overthinking or trying too hard" "if it's supposed to be it will---and that goes for school, work, life, boys, death, family, money, whatever, and now i feel at peace which is such a rare thing for me to feel. and i like it.

12:20 am	thank you Ani So I have spent the last hour in mental traction thinking about things. I managed to stumble onto some Ani DiFranco on my ipod and it always calms me. I never say things right, so I think I should just let Ani say everything for me. My Favorite Quotes from Ani D: Enjoy!~ ~When I say "You sucked my brain out", the english translation is "I am in love with you, and it is no fun". But I don't use words like love, cuz words like that don't matter. But don't look so offended, you know you should be flattered. ~I don't need anyone to hold me, I can hold my own. - Ani Difranco, My IQ ~Love is like a piano falling from a four story window and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. - Ani DiFranco, Two Little Girls ~For every hand extended, another lies in wait. Keep your eye on that one, anticipate. - Ani DiFranco, Anticipate ~In the garden of simple, where all of us are nameless, you were never anything but beautiful to me. - Ani Difranco, Garden Of Simple ~"I could wake up screaming sometimes, but I don't. I could step off the end of this pier, but I've got shit to do." ~"Maybe you don't like your job Maybe you didn't get enough sleep Well, nobody likes their job Nobody got enough sleep Maybe you just had the worst day of your life But, you know, there's no escape and there's no excuse So just suck up and be nice" ~The same rule always applies: smile pretty and watch your back. (every state line) ~I want somebody who sees the pointlesness and still keeps the purpose in mind. I want somebody who has a tortured soul, some of the time.I want somebody who would like to put out for me or put me out of my misery, or maybe just put it all to words and make me go 'i never heard it that way before.'(asking too much) ~I'll walk the plank and i'll jump with a smile, cause if i'm gonna go down, i'm gonna do it with style(dialate) ~ I've got a lack of inhibition, i've got a loss of perspective, i've had a little bit to drink and it's making me think that i can jump ship and swim, that the ocean will hold me, there's got to be more than this boat i'm in. (swandive) so yeah, I'll just let Ani say it all for me while I sit back with my ipod and relax because she always knows what to say. the man can't bring her down. go ani.

6:38 pm	oh the irony So just when I thought my day could not get any better...i definitely am sitting in my room drinking $4 champagne eating commons takeout and watching The Truth About Cats & Dogs. I figured that this is probably how I'm going to die...drinking cheap liquor, eating crappy food, and watching tv with my cats, and then I stumbled upon this: http://msn.match.com/msn/article.aspx?articleid=7619&TrackingID=516165&BannerID=541888&menuid=6>1=9177 hahahhaha and all i can do is laugh. someone shoot me. im tired of trying. i think im just going to get another cat.

10:50 pm	your mom I hate valentine's day. it is gay. i have never enjoyed it single or taken. it is not a fun holiday. if you can survive all of the valentine's day crap in Panhell then you could have survived Nam with one leg and an eye patch covered in bright orange paint. I am irritated with Will. I am irritated with my sister. I am irritated with a lot of my best friends right now. I can't wait for this shitty week to be over so I can just go home and be drunk with my real friends. THis is when I remember that there is really nothing promising in Hattiesburg. But I know as soon as I go home I will feel there is nothing promising in New Orleans. Maybe it's me, not my geography. I think I am going to start going to the tanning bed. I'm ready for spring break. I just want the following things: a)a tan b)men (preferably drunk ones) c)alcohol d)my friends e)SAND and OCEAN f)a nice place in Destin g)a week of incoherent consequence free fun sans homework It would put me in a really really really good mood if I did not have that meeting and p chem test on Thursday. The world can blow it out its ass. I'm in one of those moods where I fucking hate everyone. this is where I insert a series of angry punctuations marks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that felt kinda good Current Mood: bitchy (Comment on this)

4:17 pm	Odd Conversation So last night my mom calls me around 10 or so and says, "sweetheart, do you still have the Webber boy's phone number? his parents aren't home and I wanted to call them and tell them that their house is on fire." How do you come back to that? I bought myself some presents today a)a purse b)a belt c) a self help book. this is my valentine's day present to myself. i figured it was better than sending myself flowers. and less pathetic. will did not come to the party on saturday. i am subsequently irritated with him. bastard. we'll see. why is it so easy for guys to break dates with me? or better yet, not even show up? what is it about me that is so easy to let down. grrr. i'm kinda over it, but still slightly hurt. the party wasn't that great. it was way too chill. i think i may have made a fantastic latex. I am going to call it "LATEX FANTASTICO". This week is going to suck. I have way too much work and 2 tests. ahhhh. thank goodness for Mardi Gras. woo hoo!~ Current Mood: pensive (Comment on this)

12:10 pm	Words of Wisdom I have decided that the following types of men are unacceptable for me to date for various reasons: Frat boys Pot heads Anyone without a cell phone Chemists/Polymer Chemists/Engineers/any variation of scientist Musicians Anyone without a job Anyone with anger issues Anyone too emotional Anyone that works at a fast food place So I think that this means I should find a nice accountant or stock broker. By the way, adding a class at USM is like trying to get a gay marriage law passed in Mississippi. Difficult and damn near impossible.
