Friday, November 30, 2001 YES! Our cable connection came today and it's great! I just signed on a few sites and they loaded soooooo fast! Woo hoo! And my FTP connected in two seconds. Yippee! Ok, I need to make a new layout for this blog (I don't like this one), my Christian page which I need to move to envy, and Fairy Tale. I NEED HELP! I need inspiration! I just can't think of any other layout ideas. =P 3:30 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Wednesday, November 28, 2001 The job was awful. It was exactly like the last place I worked...except with mail instead of clothes. And this lady kept telling me to go faster, I was too slow, and blah blah blah. At the end of the day, I asked the guy if I should come back tomorrow and he went to ask the lady who kept yelling at me. He came back and told me no. I praised God as I drove home. I earned about $43 today, all to spend on Christmas presents for my friends. =) I just got back from hanging out at Dave, Ronnie, Derek, and everyone else's house. Jamie made me play with her hair, so I did that for a while. I think she fell asleep. Anyway, the guys were watching Junk Yard Wars in the living room and a basketball game in Steve and Ronnie's room. Derek and Caitlyn (I don't know how to spell her name) were practicing their lines for their Christmas play in Steven's room and I had to go fill in for someone. Katie whined to me, Derek, and my brother about how she didn't have a date to the Social (which is next May) and I told her I'd fix her up if she'd fix me up. Yeah, that worked out last time (*being sarcastic*) I'm so excited! I get to stay up late tonight! WOO HOO! I love watching David Letterman, while switching back and forth from that to Saturday Night Live. And then my Craiggers comes on...but if something's poopy on it, I'll watch Conan O'Brien, though I don't like him very much. I think he tries to hard to be funny. What's really funny is when he has a picture of someone, with someone else's mouth and they pretend to be that person and they're talking to him and stuff. That's hilarious. And on Leno on Mondays, he has the Headlines, which are really funny sometimes. But I really love when Letterman calls up that girl Stephanie. She's funny. She seems like she'd be really cool to hang out with. And Biff. I love Biff on Letterman! He did this whole segment thing where he was pestering people on the street. It was soooooo funny! He was talking through a bull horn the whole time. Oh my, that was funny. They need to let him do some more stuff on that show. Wow. I talk too much. 11:06 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday, November 27, 2001 Good greif. Derek called me today to give me a job TOMORROW. I wish they'd give me a few days in advance to metally prepare myself. The place is like 30 minutes away from my house and looks like a dumb. It too closely resembles the last place I worked. =P It's $6.00/hour, so that's pretty good. I need to get some more Christmas shopping money. I have three presents I'm planning on buying. *sigh* And I'm really not feeling well. I hope it's not a bunch of redneck men there. *PLEASE LET THERE BE ANOTHER GIRL, PLEASE LET THERE BE ANOTHER GIRL!* 10:47 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- O_o Well, I thought I was 100% better when I woke up this morning. The funky feeling in my lower abdomen went away, my throat didn't hurt, and I didn't have the "sick head" feeling anymore. ...Then I decided to get up and get in the shower. Of course while I'm in there, I can totally feel my sore throat coming back (though it isn't all too bad and now my ears are all out of wack. Every time I sniff or take a drink of my precious Mountain Dew, they act like they want to pop, but they don't. And now whenever I breathe, I can hear it in my right ear and you don't know how much that BUGS ME!!! Ack. On to the good news. I got my first clique submission...too bad the girl didn't read my rules. She doesn't have my code up on her site yet, even though she updated since I last looked. I was wondering how she got there, too, and I check the Spark again to see if they added my clique yet. Sure enough, THERE IT WAS!!! WOO HOO!!! Ack, I just coughed. Nooooooo! I hate being sick! =P And no one's going to come take care of me. The stupid weirdos at the youth center have this thing now where if they're sick, they call someone up to go take care of them. You know, bring them soup and stuff. How dumb is that? "Uh, hi Katie. Can you waste your whole day to come bring me daisies and chicken noodle soup while I cough all over you?" *rolls eyes* I tell ya... 2:35 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Well, what does everyone think of the new, simpler layout? It still was a pain in my rear to get it set up, but I managed. =P Some of you maybe be wondering what I'm doing posting at 1:10 AM and not watching Craig Kilborn. *gasp* I'm not watching/drooling over my Craiggers???!!! Has the world come to an abrupt HALT?! ....No, he just has crappy guest on today. Whoever is in charge of who goes on his show needs to get some good people. Every so often, they do get some really good guest, but that's really rare. Man, last night I watch 25 minutes of Just Shoot Me without sound, only captions on. Why no sound? Because CBS was having some problems and they cut off the sound, not putting it back on until the very end of the show. I managed with the captions, but still...it was annoying. *sigh* I think I have Anthrax or something. I feel so icky. Like I said the other day, I was in awful pain and it continued on to Sunday, but dulled slightly. I've been taking my temperature, too. Yesterday, it was 98 point something, so that was fine. Today, at first it was 99.1, then 99.6 and it's still 99.6 tonight (I just took it before I got on here). I've been taking Ibuprophen, too. Hmmm. I almost have a sore throat, so I think it's a head cold thing. I hope to God that it's not a stomach flu. I'd rather die. My stomach feels great. I'm hungry right now, actually...it's just below that that doesn't feel great. Now I'm thinking I may have pulled a muscle somehow. I did that to my back once and I thought I was having kidney failure...then my genius Chemistry professer told me that my kidneys are actually higher in my back than I thought, but man, that pulled muscle hurt like heck. Don't ever pull a muscle in your lower back. Owie. I actually have a rational theory of why I'm in such a crappy state. It's not one to put up here, though. It's something that has to do with something Becka just came to understand *wink wink*. Lol, she's the only one who will get that. Oh my, with this new layout being so small, I should shorten this. Bye bye for now! 1:19 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, November 25, 2001 Oh my gosh! I LOVE this guy's site! He's sooo funny! Go check him out! So, did everyone have a good Thanksgiving? That's nice, I don't care. I'm in PAIN!!! I don't know what's wrong with me! I can't cough...can't sneeze...can't move...without my lower abdomen screaming out in sheer PAIN! I think it's colon cancer...no, just kidding. I'm scaring the life out of me by reading this medical book I have. If the pain goes away and my stomach swells, I'm good as dead. =O Man, I hate MSN!!! Why does everyone have that and not AIM??!! AIM is soooo much better! Ack! 1:01 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Wednesday, November 21, 2001 Man, I've been having really good dreams lately. The other night I had this dream that I was going on a date with this guy. I remember thinking that he was so not my type and it was so unlike me to go out with a guy I hardly know. Anyway, he picked me up in his truck and, for some odd reason, drove us to a church. I think I was going to Wednesday night church with him or something. Anyway, we're in there and his mom was there I think and she was yelling at him or something and then all these other people kept coming. We went into this back room for youth or something and there were people there from my school. They were passing around watermelons and other kinds of melons...I don't know why. Anyways, my date was being a jerk and hardly talking to me. Someone came back and told him that they needed him for something and he was like, "I can't go, I'm on a date." That made me happy, but he ended up leaving anyways, and then I went to the bathroom. The next night (last night) I had a dream that my school was going to the Summit Athletic Club for an all-nigher, along with other schools and I was going along to help out. Ashely and Deanna (fellow grads) were there, and of course, not talking to me. The Summit was like a part of the mall or something, so we were going into the mall, too. At one point, a bunch of people decided to go see Harry Potter. I remember Jeannette and some other girls sitting in the back..maybe with Ashley and Deanna and there was a guy there. I looked back and saw him switch places with someone so he could sit next to one of the girls that he liked. I was sorta jealous because the whole night I had been checking out guys. Anyways, I think I got stuck sitting with poopy people, but then someone beside me moved and this guy switched seats with her to sit next to me. He leaned over and whispered something in my ear that was funny and it became like a date for us. We were supposed to go out again, but after the movie I couldnt' find him and that's when I was starting to wake up, so everything got fuzzy. I just love dreams like that. I hope I have some more tonight. =) 12:53 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Ok, I still don't know what's wrong with the images. If any image isn't loading, right click, click on properties, and then copy and past the address into your address bar and go to it. You'll then see the pic that is supposed to be there. =) Gosh, my face is hot. Oh yeah, we're not going to Ohio...did I tell you that? 12:12 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday, November 20, 2001 Blast! I don't know what's wrong with dumb Freeservers (where I have my images for this layout) but the main image won't load. And sometimes, some of the other images won't load either. =P Man alive! My sister was eating Pop Rocks at the computer last night and I swear half the packet is in the keyboard! I just tipped it over and emptied it just now and got a butt load of Pop Rocks shooting out of the keys. She comes downstairs when she hears me banging the keyboard on the computer stand, trying to get them all out and is like, "What are you doing?". "YOU got Pop Rocks all inside the keyboard!" I tell her, not raising my voice, but showing her I was very angry, after telling her and my mom NOT to eat stuff over the keyboard and that if they really wanted to eat at the computer to push in the keyboard thing while they eat. But, of course, they don't listen. Anyway, it looks like we won't be going to Ohio after all, and I'm glad. I don't like going in the winter, I like going in the summer, cuz then we can swim and stuff. Over Thanksgiving, it's cold and (usually) rainy or snowy and it's no fun at all. I'm waiting for some clothes to be done drying then I'm going to get in the shower. At 5:30 I'm going to leave to go to the youth center to drop Becka's trip letter off for her. (They're having basketball practice there today). Oh yeah, I got my hair trimmed yesterday and it looks much better. And when I walked in, my hair dresser, Kris, was like, "You're gettin' skinny, are you losing weight?" I was like, "Gee, I hope so!" Bigger Christmas tip for Kris this year! Lol. 4:02 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, November 18, 2001 I went to seeHarry Potter today with Becka and her family. It was great. I really enjoyed it. I'm definitely inspired. And, man, for being 14 or whatever, that kid that plays Harry Potter is cute! Lol. Is that wrong? Illegal? Lol, I don't know. I'm only 18! That's not that much difference! *hides face in hands* We're leaving Wednesday to go to Ohio for Thanksgiving. Tomorrow I want to go to the mall to get some New Balance sneakers (maybe), some socks from Deb, and maybe some shirts or jeans. Becka can't go, though, so I'm going to be stuck with someone like my sister or my mom. =P I need to make more girl friends who are out of school and have tons of free time. Oh yeah, I'm getting my hair trimmed tomorrow, too. Man, I'm tired. I'm going to go to bed. 11:47 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Friday, November 16, 2001 Today I had to go up to the conference center for a taping. Even though my dad said that I wouldn't be the one cutting to different cameras and playing the credits, I ended up doing just that. =P I didn't really want to. That's way too much for me to handle, but I guess I did ok. Bob and my dad kept telling me that anyways. The first conference meeting was tonight. It was pretty good, though by the end I really had to pee. And of course there being only one girls bathroom upstairs, someone was in there, so I just went and got two peices of pizza...and scarfed them down, almost going to get another piece. I cashed my check tonight, too. Tomorrow, maybe, after we tape the next two things, I'm going to go get my hair trimmed. I'm not sure if I should do anything else with it. I want to, but my mom keeps telling me to leave my hair as it is. Blah. =P 10:35 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Thursday, November 15, 2001 Yay! Posting from bloggerbot on AIM. I guess they got everything worked out alright. Man, I'm hungry. I'm wondering if I should wait until everyone gets home from school, cuz maybe my mom will go get us something to eat, or maybe I should just go search the kitchen and eat something on my own. *shrugs* I got my paycheck in the mail today. It's more than I expected. I was only expecting like $96 or something, but it's $134. Yay! But I told my mom I would put some money into my savings account and I think I owe her some money for stuff that I bought. Man, I want to go shopping. Pooh. By the time I pay her and put money into my savings, there will be nothing left! ACK! 3:07 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- I can never change this blasted template without haveing at least ONE problem. =P By the way, how do you like this new template? I just love it! I'm so creative! Lol. 1:13 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Monday, November 12, 2001 La la la. I watched a lot of TV today. Time seems to be going really slow today for some reason. I can't even keep track of it. =P I had to go up to the conference center today to help my dad and my pastor set up cameras for an interview they're taping some time this week. I'm going to be running this transition thingie...I'm not really sure. My dad made me take home the manual to "study" but I'm not the kind of person who can just read it and then know everything about it. It's like, you tell me what to do, I'll look it up. Bingo. That's it. I could hardly get the thing figured out today. The one screen wouldn't come up. Oh well. I'm still not sure what they want me to do. Add text? Add a transition? Beats me, my dad doesn't know either. I guess I'm just supposed to sit there and look at them in my two little monitors I have and maybe switch among the three cameras....just for fun. *shrugs* 11:19 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Friday, November 09, 2001 Wow. Neosporin is a miracle worker, lol. All my poor widdle fingers feel much better today! =) I just got back from the mall (Kauffman's was having a sale and were open until 12 AM, woo hoo!) Let's see...I got some Addidas shoes (light blue stripes) and a new cordless phone cuz my other phone kept buzzing. =P 11:06 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Thursday, November 08, 2001 updates: 1. Blogger wouldn't let me publish my post yesterday, so sorry for not posting on here for a while 2. Tonia and i quit work today at lunch time!!!! 3. i can't shift anything on the left side of the keyboard because my left pinky is very sore, along with the ring and pointer finger of that same hand. Here's the deal with my left hand: Around last year sometime, i went to a park with katie that's a few blocks away from us. it's just a playground and we were walking around that area and decided to stop. We went to sit on a bench, and i was fixing my coat or something and a piece of wood went up under the left nail of my pinky. it hurt like heck, but i didn't flip out, cuz that kind of thing had happened to me before to my pointer finger. So we walked back to katie's house and i got some tweezers and stuff and tried to get it out, but i couldn't. it hurt so bad, but katie wouldn't let me go home. nooooooooo, we had to go to her aunt's house to get on the computer. She kept talking to people online and telling them what a baby i was because i kept saying my pinky was throbbing. Well, it was!!! Finally, i got to go home and i managed to get it out. The last time this happened, you could see where the splinter had been, but the hole healed up after a while, this time it didn't seem to heal up. At a certain angle, you can still see the line going down my nail where the splinter was and there's a dip in my nail where the white part starts. When we cleaned apartments in State College, i got something in that hole and had to cute my nail really short to get it out. This time, i think dirt got in it from my stupid, filthy job and it's all infected. it's sort of swollen and hurts really bad. All the other fingers hurt because the corners of my nails dug into the side of my fingers, probably some time when i was lifting boxes. Some of them are bleeding. =( 7:44 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, November 04, 2001 Right now: -eating green olives (mmmmmmmmm) -drinking water -hearing my mom in the kitchen and the TV going -surfing Teens Saved by Grace! -thinking, "Boy, my head hurts" and "I don't want to go to work tomorrow" -wondering when Becka will finish her homework -my cat is up at my chair trying to get me to give him some olives by pawing at my arm >^. .^< 10:12 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- My new want list: 1. A black or gray navy pea coat 2. Cute sweaters for wintery weather 3. New jeans 4. Possibly some new shoes; prefferably black w/ thick soles and higher heels 5. The two face things by Physician's Formula that I can't remember what they're called because I left the magazine pages they were on in the pocket of my jeans and I put them through the wash and they disintegrated. =( So, hopefully I'll get to go shopping soon. I wanted to go today, but my mom didn't want to take me and I hate going on Sunday's because everything closes early. =P Man, I have to go to work tomorrow. It's ok, kinda boring, but I hate getting up early. I just wanna sleep! My brother's in the shower now, but when he's done, I'm getting in and then going to bed. -_- 9:40 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Thursday, November 01, 2001 I went to work today...all on two hours of sleep. =P Since I woke up at two something yesterday (and had a nice surprise waiting for me ^_~), of course I wasn't going to get to sleep at 11! I tossed and turned all night, trying to fall asleep to the radio, but my brain just kept going. Finally, the radio got on my nerves, so I shut it off and got some Teen magazines and read them, front to back. I was reading the newer ones and I found all kinds of cool stuff that I wanted to get at the store. I tore out four pages full of goodies to try to find next time I went shopping. Well, I did tonight, after I got home from work. Lol, I only found two things from the pages that I wanted, but one I wanted really bad. I was surprised I found any of it. Usually, the stuff in Teen magazine is like myth. You sit and stare at the wonderful stuff on the page, but you can never have it. Most of the stuff is in stores that you would find in New York or Chicago...or stuff that you have to order online. =P You don't know how great it was seeing the actual product that had once been on the folded magazine page sitting there on the blasted Wal*Mart shelf. Anyway, getting back to work. I think I've severely injured myself. We had to lift these boxes onto tables so we could take off the old tags and put new ones on. Well, I went to lift one, but couldn't get it turned around, so the corner ended up jabbing right into the middle of my chest. It hurt like heck and I thought I was going to die. I sucked it up and went on working to try and distract myself, and the pain did eventually go away, but now it's hurting again...like a bruise hurt, though. I checked, too, earlier tonight if there was a bruise. Nope. Tomorrow, though. Then it'll come. *streches* Aw man. Tomorrow Tonia and I have to go through boxes of stuff and mark off on a list to see if they're there. Woo. This job is pretty easy, but you have to stand ALL DAY. By the time we left, it felt like my knees were going to pop out backwards. =P Owie. Well, that's enough for today. I'll write more tomorrow! 10:45 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- September 2001 October 2001 November 2001 December 2001 January 2002 February 2002 March 2002 April 2002 May 2002 July 2002 August 2002 September 2002 October 2002 November 2002 December 2002 January 2003 February 2003 March 2003 April 2003 May 2003 June 2003 July 2003 August 2003 September 2003 October 2003 November 2003 December 2003 January 2004 February 2004 March 2004 May 2004 July 2004 August 2004 September 2004 January 2005 February 2005 March 2005 April 2005 May 2005 June 2005 September 2005 October 2005 February 2007 home Navigation: --> me ---> blog archives ----> my friends -----> art work ------> poetry -------> writings --------> stuff for you
