journalism

people get degrees in journalism and produce this kind of work?

BEMIDJI, Minn. - "The aunt of the teenager who shot dead nine people, five of them fellow students, before killing himself drew a connection Wednesday between his crime and his own tragedies — his father took his own life, his mother is paralyzed and in a nursing home and his maternal grandfather passed away two years ago."

if it wasn't such a sad story already....

nobody's grass is as green as ours.

by the time tuesday comes around, i will be in the midst of finals and interviews. so let me post a little early...

it will be one year on march 22nd since i started dating the most incredible guy EVER.

i am so blessed to have him in my life. it's a strange thing to get everything you've always wanted in a guy (trust me, that's not a short list, either). there are times when we're together when i think, "i could die right now." everything seems perfect in the world. i know that's all cheezy and stupid sounding, but it's a real feeling i get. gosh, i didn't think i'd ever be like this. haha!

two years ago, i would have never imagined myself being at this point in my life (crazy in luv). i planned on not dating anyone till after i finished my undergrad (i'm a serious geek who is too ambitious). God is so awesome.

all i know is, life will never be boring *grin*

will celebrate one year in colorado next weekend...*big smile*

playlistism

Playlistism
1. Discrimination based not on race, gender, or religion, but rather on a disturbingly horrible iTunes music library discovered through a school or job network.Roots from Wesleyan University; refers to the "shared music" feature available on iTunes in which one can browse the various music libraries of the co-workers or classmates in their network. Often requires awkward explanation of why you have "that song."
Mike accused me of playlistism when I questioned his collection of Color Me Badd b-sides.

imagine the criticism i would get if i had a school network.

*my 'indie' friends would be mad about my mainstream play lists (green day...avril..)

*(my tight-conservative friends would be mad about my green day......guster......etc etc etc)

*my boyfriend would laugh at my motown hits

*my other friends would moan at my christian music

*all my ati friends would send me to gothard to get demons cast out of me

*my parents would wonder. their confusion would immediatley be followed by some kind of hilarious parent-like response. i'll spare you.

misc:

*my best friend would hound me for music constantly *grin* (we share well.)

*my brother would call me about shows downtown like rouge wave....arcade fire....

* would get constant phone calls, "who the heck are the shins?"

please hire me.

i am finally on the road to finding a new, better job. my little "in between moving/school/life" job has been going on for far too long.

maybe i will have my weekends back again soon.

i made my first bid on ebay this week. and i lost that pair of DKNY jeans by 50 cents. they prolly wouldn't have fit. *sigh*

a little too close to home.

i am sure that everyone has heard by now about the guy that killed 3 people in the courthouse here in atlanta yesterday.

well, they caught him this morning *15* minutes from my house. how comforting.

*growl*

i was frustrated. furious. yet again, another self-absorbed brat-girl (if there is such a word) ticked me off (why, oh why is it so hard for me to get along with girls?? they're so mean. *).

SO mad, apparently, that i had dreams about my fury. i dreamed that she moved in with me at some apartment that looked more like a hotel than anything else...and i just let it all out. i was like, "hey, why are you such a jerk? why did you lie to me ? blah blah"

next thing i remember, we were in a grocery store...and i was flying through the air doing some kind of obscure karate. basically, kicking her butt.

i woke up refreshed.

dream interpretations are welcome, but i think it's pretty clear. i was ticked.

*umm, not all of them, obviously. *grin* i don't hate you if you're a girl and reading this right now. unless you are her . heh

motivate me.

there's somehow a mental block when it comes to studying codes. i know they are a necessary evil, but when i'm not doing well on quizzes that i study for...why study at all?

last quiz i studied for hours...10, possibly? i came out with a 79. i'm sorry...why did i bother? this stuff, honestly, is not hard. it's just the whole darn multiple choice thing. i hate mc tests.

ugh, i think i'm stuck in a lazy rut.
