What is worthy?
If I listen to classical music as I write in my blog, do you think I could take some of that philisophical inspiration and turn it to words? Nope. Not here, maybe if I wasn't so high strung in the first place.

I am so strung tight, you could pluck one of my strings and all I'd do is vibrate a while. Is that sensual or just plain odd? Where would this string be? If anyone has the answer, please feel free to help me out!

I am happy to report that all the classes I want will be available to me. YAAY That is a huge load off my mind, a load of unwashed, stinky fish that sat in the sun all day. Ewww, that even grossed me out. But, if I had too many problems and I wasn't able to graduate... finalll... then I'd be going crazy. "Must.... get.... degree.... gimme gimme!"

There is definitely something strange going on with my blog. I can't see what I am typing, only what the lines up above are. It does give a bit of degree to an artistic license and if I make a huge mistake, I can definitely get away with it.

Maybe I just write too much, I know Aspen said so before as she was reading my first draft of the Master Strunm story. Maybe I bog down my thoughts withh too much visualization and scare any potential readers away. i will know later when I get all twenty copies of my story back from my classmates in my Fiction Writing class. I am so nervous!

Ack, my Classical music went off. Thar she blows!

Do you remember...
That saying how people begin to look like their pets?
Well, I think i'm starting to resemble my computer. If I have too many things going at once, I crash. I get confused eaasily, my keys get stuck and I get slower the older I get.

I'm behind a bit in my schoolwork, using the Haunted House as an excuse. I think it's a damn good excuse too. Aspen and I have done most of the work and it just seems to be too slow in getting done. Hopefully a miracle will happen, or I may just run home and get my Mommy.

YAY blogger is back up!
Seems either I was having problems or the Blogger was, because I was not able to update anything past week! /cry

I am working on my fiction writing right now and I have found that I am totally enamored by the fantasy-childrens genre. I love the simple attitudes and the beauty of the written word that can make any person with a child-like innocence smile.

What a weekend!
Ended up helping Aspen work on her dress all day friday. Saturday, we went to the football game, The Beavers won against The Mustangs, YAY! Oh, and I got beaver lovin'! Bucky ran up to me and rubbed my arm, probably because I looked like a popscicle, I was SO cold. After the game, we went back to my Mom's house and finished up Aspen's Halloween dress. Then, I started working on my cousins dress. She is going as a fairy and Sunday I continued the Dress with the kids at my Mom's house and got them all sewed up. My cousin looked great!

Today, I've been working on homework and organizing, talk about a pit of doom around here! I also have 2 hours before I go to work, so i'm thinking I may go next door and watch T.V. or something.

I sat at my desk from 10pm until midnight to work on my Sprite story. I had so much fun writing it last night, that I was too excited and strung up to get to sleep. This is when I remembered to take my muscle relaxant pill i had gotten from the doctor earlier. I passed out and it felt like i was fighting for my life when I woke this morning. UGH! I didn't come out of that fog until 4pm, after a hour nap between classes (Lit Crit and Theory was cancelled).

I made that "witches Brew" punch for the Hall Council meeting, I don't think they appreciated it much. Well, since only half drank it and the other complained that it had grape cool-aid inside that they turned up their noses.

Witches Brew
1 packet grape cool-aid
1 packet orange cool-aid
1 litre of ginger ale
2 cups of sugar

Personally, I thought it was good, and so did the others that actually tried it. Maybe it was the ugly blackish color, but thats the whole point of the drink!

I feel that I have found my calling with the story I wrote last night. I loved it and haven't felt that free for a long time. Maybe Fairy Tales and such for kids or young adults will be what I end up doing.

“My jacket was somehow attached to my backpack.”
The girl driving snickered and didn’t take her eyes off the dark road ahead.
“In front of all these people, I left the meeting after being dismissed hunchbacked, trying to disentangle my jacket.”
The driver had been taking a sip of her coke from KFC and snorted, her eyes watered.
“And since my scarf was trailing behind me, I had bent down with my ass waving in the air for all to see!”
The horror stricken face of the girl in the passenger seat sent a burst of giggles from the driver as the car slowed down. The other girl let out a nervous guffaw that filled the cold car with warmth enough to fog the windows.
“I am the epitome of grace!”
They laughed and the weight of having done such a horrible job at the meeting fell from her like icicles warming in the sun.
They went to their dorm rooms, the respective doors closing when suddenly the previous driver walked in, rifling through her mail and said with an air of nonchalance, “You have a message, they approved the proposal.”
The girl shook as she ran next door and hit the play button to the machine. She had been right! They approved the funding!

Suddenly thrust into the actual life of a secretary/treasurer, I feel quite inadequate. Maybe there is some hidden pamphlet in the world for the treasurer that I haven't found. Maybe if I knew who the old treasurer from last year was, I'd be better at this. As it is, I am trying to take $10 from an account that doesn't have my name or our current Advisors name, and I am deciding what kind of "refreshmenst" the college students would want.

Cool- aid? Cheap, but... cheap
Pop? Expensive... and too varied
Maybe I could find a punch recipe, make it and bring that, but then what do I put it into? I need something "Halloweenish" hrmmmm. Dollar store? Maybe they have a punch bowl.
Cookies? Should I make them or have them store bought? Timewise... Storebought. 'sides, I may burn them. GAH!
Well, I think the dollar store may be my best bet, but I have been having classic bank account problems, (overdraft) that I wasn't expecting and since it IS Columbus Day, I still show negative balance, when I know I have about $20. Blah, stupid holidays.

Ahhhh wednesday, I had a very long day as usual on Tuesday and basically got up, went to class, ate lunch, went to class, went to work, at 9pm got to go home and pass out in bed. Still a little sick but I think I am getting better.

I put up a few of the Halloween stuff I had in a box, but I can't put anything up outside until maybe this weekend, as I am very sure they will be torn down in some drunken terror of some stupid freshman in our hall. Honestly, I wish there were some sort of spray that we could get that dispells these kids.

Freshman Spray
Tired of those pesky freshman? Want to make sure they go right back to their own hall and mess up their own living quarters? Well, you came to the right place! With Fresman B-Gone (Copyright 2002, Aya Inc.) you can send them right back to their rooms, comliments of stomach twinges, uncontrolled urges of gagging and pimple inducers! Yes, give them away to your friends as a birthday present, give them to your parents to spray on their porch! It can be used anywhere!!

AAAACHOOOOO!
Yes, I have been afflicted with the common cold. Hacking and a sneezing and sleeping away my homework hours. Hopefully I will live through this week, as I am working my hardest at killing this cold so I can get on with life. It all started when I went to the football game this last Saturday, I screamed my lungs out and must have been too exposed to the elements and came home with a whopper. Although, I had a blast and we did win! YAY Gophers!

Ah, the good old feelings of anxiety, worry and suffocation have shown up tonight. I told myself I would begin my papers and reading assignments tonight at work, so that I could have most of the weekend off. Well, I am so jumpy and edgey that I can't seem to get anything done!

Analyzing these feelings, I came up with the first problem. I miss writing. I wrote a short story for my fiction writing class and loved the laughter I got from everyone as I read out loud. My lisping knight in shiny armor may have been the trick. Ever notice the one line you think everyone wll laugh at is passed over, but other lines you hadn't imagined funny become funny? What an odd, odd job it is to write for the masses. Masses, thats a good word for them. A mass of criticism and expectations that are to be met, or squashed in the process. Well, I want to write, I don't want to read about critics who have outdated theories, about old colonists who like to beat their children, or trudge through another boring essay.

Maybe it is because I have been trying to read through all the Harry Potter books so that I can get to the fourth book (needed for my science fiction and fantasy class). Actually doing something for enjoyment <=O

Also, I have another Hall Council meeting. I am not necessarily nervous, but agitated. I always worry if I forgot something or if I do something wrong. ARGH, wish I had a step by step process to go by.

That's enough grumping on my end. Today was the last of the classes since we have Friday off. AND the homecoming game is this saturday AND my cousins are coming to visit, YAY YAY YAY!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Wrote a story today, had a great time doing it too! It's about dragons and seems to take place in a fantasy land sort of world. Also, I read the rest of the first Harry Potter books, was wonderful. I am already halfway through the second one. I am doing my best to read through all of them so that I can get to the fourth in the series that is supposed to be read for my science fiction and fantasy class.

Had a funny wake up call this morning. Mom called me to ask me to wake up and come let her into the house. My guess is she was going to go let Queen out into the pen in the backyard and the door closed on her, locking her outside. heheh Poor thing.

I am so tired, I cannot wait to lay my head on a pillow and pass out. Maybe I should grab an ice pop first, sounds good :)
