I don't normally post here, as my last post said, I've moved to blogger. However, I feel that I need a bit more anonymity for this post, so I'm back to LJ.
My cousin who was 6 months pregnant with her 6th child just lost the baby yesterday. She is 32 and still has 5 kids. She and her husband can hardly afford them as it is. I have told people, friends, about her situation, saying "oh yeah, this is my crazy family from the south." Basically, dismissing her and her life choices. The thing is, knowing now that she lost the baby, and so far along, and thinking about how the other kids are dealing with it, and how she and her husband are... I can't help but feel a sense of loss myself. I can't imagine what a sad thing that must be.
I sincerely hope God will help them through this time.
If you are in the Baltimore/DC/Delaware area and might want a kitty, my friend Rachel found a litter of 6 adorable kittens, 4-5 months old, abandoned with their mother in Baltimore. Being the wonderful, animal-loving person that she is, she took them in, and is trying to find homes for them. I have pictures if anyone wants to see them. I should also mention that they are all litter-trained and as sweet as can be, despite the way that they have been treated.
Please, if you can find a little room in your home for an adoreable kitty without a home, contact me!
So I'm siting here at Cosi. I came here with the intention of getting out of my house so I could write about my trip, but it ain't workin. Cosi was really my 3rd choice of place. My first was Starbucks, but they were too bust, and I couldn't get one of the comfy chairs. There was NO PARKING WHATSOEVER at or around Panera. So I came here, got an iced tea, sat down, and was scooting my chair in at the table, and managed to get a splinter on my finger. Awesome. Then I realized that I forgot my little Bonnaroo schedule/book thing, which I rely on to get an idea of what I did when and such. And I just read Jason's account, and it made me not want to post. I got dissed a bit. Also, I think I'm gonna start a blog rather than livejournal. It's been so long since I updated this, that I would rather start fresh. So there you have it.
You're interested in things such as politics, psychology, child care, and peace. I wouldn't go so far as to call you a hippie, but some of you may be tree-huggers. You're the type of people who are interested in bettering the world. You're possible the least nerdy of them all; unless you participate in other activies that paled your nerdiness compared to your involvement in social activities. Whatever the case, we could still use more of you around. ^_^
Ok, so odd dream that I just woke up from a little while ago. I had gone on this trip, I guess to help teach english to these kids in a latin american country. The thing was, they spoke portuguese, but it wasn't even portuguese, but that's what it was supposed to be. I was with 2 or three other girls, maybe o or 2 of them sisters, and another I didn't know too well. The little kids had a chalk board, well, one did, and was trying to teach us. I should mention, we were living in this house, and I don't remember getting into the house, but it was pretty spacious. the older girl/sister went for a run and came back all sweaty and said we were very high up. I went to look out a window that had a little gate thing (from which we could see the tops of tropical trees and stuff) and i nearly fell out, the gravity was so strong. I felt very out of place bc i didn't know the language at all, and I was'nt able to pick it up. I went outside somewhere, and there was this big pool of water that was kinda like the water in front of the taj mahal. Around it were these beautiful turkish temple style buildings, the tops anyway.
I then realized I didn't have my camera, I had left it behind. I ran inside to see if I could borrow one. The girl who wasn't my sister let me have hers, and I ran outside, and immediatly waded into the pool. There were people watching, and they were all worried about the camera. I was still fully clothed too. This little boy was sort of following me into the pool. As I swam to each corner of the pool there were different things to see. The cameral was hard to operate somehow. At one corner of the pool there where the buildings, but people taller than the buildings, like magazine ads. They were like billboards, but looked like real people standing still. There were only two of them, which was a little odd. Other people started getting into the pool and splashing around, the adults constantly gasping, due to the camera. I think that was about it.
I am SO very aware that I should be sleeping and not updating right now. Nevertheless, here I go...
So winter session is awesome. I have discovered many things to do in my down time (as there is quite a lot of it), and one thing is the website mcphee.com. Trust me on that one.
I have also started talking to one of Jason's friends from fla., Pablo, which has been really fun. You can never have too many people you can get philosophical with late at night. I have also been talking with Jason a lot on the phone, which is fun.
Joshua leaves for Japan tomorrow, which is so fucking cool, and I am very very jealous. (Even though, yes, I did spend a semester in Italy...)
That sort of brings me to another thing. So today I check my email. There is a message from myspace telling me that I have received a message from Natsuko. My heart immediately skips a beat. Could this possibly be the Natsuko who was my best friend in the whole world from 4th grade to 7th grade? Who I did a histry day project with? Who I listened to Hanson, Backstreet Boys and Celine Dion with? Who I played on the trampoline with? Who I watched Titanic and Forest Gump with???? I checked it, hardly breathing, and sure enough... IT'S HER!!!! I proceeded to shriek and jump all around for nearly an hour I was so excited. I also immediately emailed her back. So.. YAY!!!
I then hung out with Felix, Nur and Perin in Felix's room, which was nice. He made us drinks. :-)
Oh, I have also been seeing a lot of Hussey and her friends, which is AWEsome. Grottos on Tuesdays man, it's the way to go. We have also watched a variety of good movies (Including Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade!!!). We have also perfected hailing Schmidty down, which is a necessary skill.
I know this is very brief and rather like gibberish, but I really should get to sleep. Maybe more later. If not, tant pis.
So many people are doing a recap of the year, and I will... later. When I can type without making 2 billion mistakes a word. Yes, that is an exaggeration, but my typing requires way to much concentration right now. So.... goodnight! I hope everyone had fun!
Okay, so I know my last post was a video, but I can't resist. This one made me laugh so hard that milk came out my nose. Or it would have, had I been drinking milk.
God, my mood has been so variable lately, if I didn't know that this is how I normally get around this time of year I might be a little worried. It also could have something to do with the fact that I'm exhausted.
I feel like half the day I am happy. Today in particular. I got up early, went to get some breakfast and donut holes for the King Arthur party, went to psych, then King Arthur. All was well, a random guy smiled at me on the street, people were entertained by the film version of "Mists of Avalon," I was feeling high off of the approaching Christmas season and the end of class. Sad too, because of the end of class, but happy I had taken what I did.
So then I had to go to work, my first day at Lieberman's. It was actually a great work environment, I really liked everyone I met and the job itself wasn't hard at all. I am also working about 50 hours before I leave for home on the 15th, which is pretty sweet, I must say.
I skipped the party I was supposed to go to tonight, though. By the time I got off work and went to get something to eat at Trabant, I was exhausted. It didn't help that I got about 5 hours of sleep last night, but no matter, I was sleepy as hell, still am, seeing as I haven't slept yet. I can sleep in tomorrow, I work from 11-4.
So, all is well, I have had a great time becoming better friends with the people around me, and today I was in a downright amazing mood. And now, all of a sudden, 12:45, something hits me, and I'm terribly sad. No idea why. I mean, there could be tons of subconscious stuff, but when it comes down to it, I don't feel like exploring it, I know I'll be back to the up side by the morning.
I just feel so weird, like I don't have a handle on my emotions, not normal for me. Ah well.

So I still haven't eaten Thanksgiving dinner yet, and the reason is probably the long-ass complicated menu. You guys ready?
Appetizers: Pecan Dip Pumpkin Soup
Main Course Grilled Turkey with White Wine Gravy Chestnut, Prune and Pancetta Stuffing Vegetable Stuffing Brussel Sprouts with Shallots and Wild Mushrooms Green Beans with Ginger Butter Pecan Crusted Bourbon Sweet Potatoes Garlic Cranberry Chutney Cinnamon Rolls EDIT Creamed Red and White onions with Bacon and Toasted Bread Crumbs
So despite feeling shitty when I got up today (had the feeling my uterus was a punching bag), I ended up having a blast. I got a bagel and made my way to skidfest right before it started at noon. I didn't leave until 5:30 (I had to), and I hope that says how much fun it was. The bands were excellent, the company was excellent, the booze was plentiful and I was happy. Bands I saw: Drunk on Sunday, Three Legged Fox, Caravan, Lower Case Blues. I went with Kristy and her roommate and saw Stan, and then a ton of other people I know. There was a triangle player (Steve?) in a hotdog hat, Asher, the steel drum player (who is awesome), I guy that tried to crowd surf (twice) and basically just ended up falling on people (including me). The stamp on our hands was a hand flashing the shocker (obviously homemade and awesome). It wasn't even all that cold, at least it didn't feel that way. Sadly, I had to leave before it was over (around 5:30) to get to the pre-opera dinner!
I basically power walked home, changed pants, put on lipstick, put on some perfume to cover up the smell of smoke in my hair, put on my boots and called myself opera-ready. I was picked up at 6 and squired off to Boston Market for dinner before stopping at the Love Shack before heading off to Wilmington. One of the guys that was supposed to go went MIA, so we left without him and were almost late after waiting for him. We Got to our seats just in time and the opera began. The only downside was that the grand opera house in wilmington is made for midgets, or at least annorexic people. No matter how one sat there was no leg room and ones shins were right up against the back of the seat in front of you. Anyway, the voices were great and all went off without a hitch. We then dropped Becca and Jeff off and picked up Brent and Janica to go the iron hill for a little food and drink. Last call at 1, we had all only gotten 1 drink. We got outside and Julie did a crazy dance for the drunk people at Kates to AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long." It was a wonderful end to a great day.
Tomorrow will be devoted to my fucking Italian paper and other work. BOOOOO. Good thing my week has been so great otherwise.
