My summer was awesome. I worked as a dental assistant in a pediatric office with Ben. Ben and I work pretty well together - he helped me to destress a lot. I will be a lot happier when we are actually running the dental office though.
It feels good to know that Im going to OWN this semester in all of my classes.

Ben has an interview with dental assisting people - I am so jealous. In other news I got hired at Target - which is going to be cool because, yeah.. um... I'll try to have as much fun as I can while doing it. I'm just relieved to have a job, so that everyone will get off my ass.
I woke up early this morning and biked all the way to the gym to work out... now if only I could get the motivation to do that every morning..
LIFE IS GOOD!

Luray Caverns is bad ass. I have a year round pass now! Yes, the stalagmites are all mine... It was cool cause some dude in the 50's put an Organ in there and hooked it to all the stalags and called it a stalagpipe...its the largest natural instrument in the world - says the 15 year old tour guide lady...
OH yes, I have been on this major kick of wanting to make my own soap... I think it would be a really cool idea. I promise that I wont break into liposuction clinics like on fight club... I'm thinking that if I get really good I could go to craft fairs and farmer's markets and places like that to sell my soap...Ben has been looking into to it too. Its crazy how many different kinds of soaps you can make and how they can do anything from repelling ticks to attracting fish.
anyway, thats about it for now.

I finally found out what was wrong with my YUKON.. It wasn't gas. It wasn't the battery. Some redneck who needed a car part slipped underneath my car and stole my "crank sensor wiring harness" whatever that is. NOw its going to cost $500!!! WHOA... MY DAD IS SO PISSED. So, once again, my car was vandalized in the lovely R-MWC parking lot... and the grand total of all the vandalizations has come to $2,500. Shit... that could've gone to tuition... R-MWC should have cameras or something.
THe good news: The car will be done by tomorrow afternoon and they're going to send someone out to pick me up....

UG! My gi-normous-gas-guzzling-environmentally-hazaradous Yukon is dead. Well -not completely dead- it just has to spend a few days in the shop... It's funny because the tow-truck guy came this morning and he was like, "WHoa! I never see college girls driving trucks this big - how do you handle this thing?"... I said I handle it very well until it runs out of gas. We had such a wierd convo :
Tow-dude: "is that your natural hair-color?"
Me: umm.... yeah...
TOw-dude: you have the most beautiful hair-color I've ever seen... want an altoid...?
Ah geez..I had a good laugh about this.. My car is going to get checked out on monday and hopefully I will have it back by tuesday or wednesday...
SPECIAL NOTE: CLARA I LOVE YOU!!! THank you so much for getting me gas and driving me back and forth - and for the gushers - and checking my car out - and making me feel like everythings going to be ok... You are awesome!

I can't believe my body is still functioning...If you dont hear from me for awhile - school killed me... so heres my will:
* my 2 martini glasses and pornos go to lavina
* my shot glasses go to morgan - I haven't used them 1 time this entire semester..and god knows she will get more use out of them.
* my 3-hole puncher goes to Aaron
* I'd like my little refrigerator (plus the heart-shaped ice cube tray) to go to the housekeeping lady.
* My I LOVE PORN magnet can go to -- well no one wants it...
*My array of bath and body works lotions and sprays can go to Dorothy...
* My fimbo can join his counterpart with amanda
* Ben can have my nalgene bottle..
- that about sums up all of my posessions...
Ok, well, I'm off to study for calculus and come up with a French oral presentation for tomorrow... No stress... No stress... No stress - THis is our mantra.
current mood:  zombiefied

"Work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like no one is watching." - Mark Twain
"LIVE LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING.
Why is it that we often react to the happiness of others with contempt? We are so quick to know why someone is the way they are, but we are so slow to understand it.
We have so much fire-power and yet we choose to waste it's fuel by burning our own potential.
Do what you do best, and let everyone else do the rest. And if you really did what you did best, then, oh boy, how powerful would you be.
"This planet has not been given to us by our parents, but rather has been loaned to us by our children." - Nate
The prosperous few and the restless many. We're living here and doing the best we can. Are we? Things are not fair - it is not balanced. Too few people hold too much, while so many others hold so little. Those that hold too much are aware of the imbalance, but instead of leveling the scales they do everything in their power to convince those with less that the things they don't posess is that which they should desire. In fact, the many who are poor also posses a wealth of riches that some of the prosperous can only imagine." ~ Andrew W.K.

I've met God across his long walnut desk with his diplomas hanging on the wall behind him, and God asks me, "Why?" Why did I cause so much pain? Didn't I realize that each of us is a sacred, unique snowflake of special unique specialness? Can't I see how we're all manifestations of love? I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong. We are not special. We are not crap or trash, either. We just are. We just are, and what happens just happens. And God says, "No, that's not right." Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything. ~Chapter 30

9:35 pm - stupid life and its stupid crossroads and shit.
|

I'd hate to admit this now, but I really feel like I should be an environmental studies major... I guess I'm in this Biology thing because I want to go to grad school.... but... well...I could just as easily get into dent school with evst. degree.. because all the science courses are there.... mmm... dilemma...I'm passionate about biology, but I feel more passionate about evst. Environmental issues get me going. FUCK!!!!! I'm going to email the chair of the evst dept...I need to figure this out...I dont want grad schools to look down on me if I have an evst. maj. though. I'm such a fucking tree-hugger its embarrassing. I never thought I would be this indecisive - I never thought I would question my bio major.... MENTAL ANGUISH...

OH MY GOD!!! MY HALLMATES STOLE MY TOWEL WHILE I WAS TAKING A SHOWER!!! When I noticed it was missing I started screaming for someone to help me, and this girl bitched me out for yelling... I had to come out naked to grab my clothes from them... arg...
I also found out some new rumors that christen was spreading about me - to my current hallmates.... It pissed me off hardcore. I can't believe that she was saying that shit about me and ben... actually, yes, I can believe it. Because few people in my life have been sincere, loyal, or understanding of me. I hate feeling used...
Oh well, fuck that shit. FOr the record: If you think I'm a slut or a hypocrite or a self-righteous bitch, or a liar, ugly, fat, disgusting, crude, stupid, desperate - dont smile and say "hi" to me in the hall... dont ask me to hook you up with guys...don't act like you can party with me... dont ask me to get alcohol for you... don't come crying on my shoulder when karma finally catches up with you. Do me that one favor please.
I just want to live this life, however crooked and broken you think it is, I am content. I wouln't dare to pick up the pieces.
current mood:  disappointed

9:31 pm - Thunderstorm
|
"The massive forms jostle and grate, ions collide, and the sound of thunder is heard over the sun-drenched land. More clouds emerge from empty-sky, anvil-headed giants with glints lightning in their depths. An armada assembles and advances, floating on a plane of air that makes it appear, from below ,as a fleet of ships must look to the fish in the sea.
At my observation point on a sandstone monolith the sun is blazing down as intensely as ever, the air crackling with dry heat. But the strom clouds continue to spread, gradually taking over more and more of the sky, and as they approach the battle breaks out.
Lightning streaks like gunfire through the clouds, volleys of thunder shake the air. A smell of ozone. While the cluods exchang their bolts with one another no rain falls, but now they begin bombarding the buttes and pinnacles below. Forks of lightning- illuminated nerves- join heaven and earth"
Edward Abbey, Desert Solataire
Chapter 10 , pg. 149
Edward Abbey is perhaps one of the most influential environmentalist writers to date, I reccomend picking up one of his books - some of things he says in his book are absurd, hilarious, and will most definitely piss you off...

10:14 pm - I know this may sound cheesy, because it is.

" Each of us must face a moment in our lives called "the break-down." This is the time when you must stand toe to toe, eyeball to eyeball, with the very thing you have tried desperately to avoid. In that moment, you will want to find a way around, over, under or out having to do what you are faced with doing. You will do anything, say anything to aviod having to go through what is facing you. You will want to run and hide. You will get weak, almost faint. You will believe you are going to be sick. You won't be!What you will be is on your way to greatness.
In the breakdown moment, the very thing you have feared ,resisted, denied will stand before you, shaking its finger in your face and sticking its tongue out at you. It'll show you things about yourself that you refused to see or acknowledge. It will tease you, taunt you, push you, pull you to the verge of breaking down. In fact, that is its purpose. In the breakdown momentyour defenses break down.Your fantasies shatter. Your excuses fail. Your resistance erodes. In that moment when there is nothing standing between you and the thing you fear the most, you will be forced to step into your greatness, because that is what life is demanding of you.
Until today ,you may not have realized that you are totally able, perfectly prepared, fully capable of doing the very thing you have convinced yourself you could not do. Just for today, be devoted to doing just one thing that will help to convince you."

3:10 pm - I've gotta wiggle..
|
I went to an Andrew W.K.concert... and all of my frustrations and built up stress disappeared as I jumped around like a wild woman...I always need precious wiggle/jump/spaz time to get the kinks out of my academic system... I highly reccomend Andrew WK if you feel like destressing...mmm...My entire body is sore. I love it.
I think it would be fun to take some swing dance lessons again...but this time w/ Ben.
One thing I dont understand: How people can go to concerts and just stand there without moving...and then make fun of people that are dancing and having fun... Hmm... maybe they are just uptight. I'll never know.
So if you get the chance today, get lost in one of your favorite songs. Jump on your bed. Headbang until you lose balance and fall over -- then when you hit the floor keep wiggling... scream the lyrics..jump up and down. spin in cirlcles .take your sweaty tee shirt off and throw it at your roommate...If you are still stressed out after this - seek professional help.
I love rock music.
current mood:  rock on, my friends
