Naked Turtle

To drop my shell for but a brief moment of the day

"The one with the bright eyes laughed her way inside this music box..."

yeahwoohooyippie!

I had a VERY good time last nite!

WARNING: The following is yet another concert review from me. If you dislike my long going-ons about tiny details, observations, and sentence fragments I suggest you call it a day.

I got out of work at 6:05ish and dashed home. The concert started at 8:30 but I still wanted to be there for the doors to open at 7. My sister and I left the house at 6:20 to fillerup then we went to Christine's house to pick her up. And we were off!

Took 441 to I-4 to Downtown Disney. Simple huh? Yes. It was actually. Anyway, we arrived there around 7:45.

Sidenote: Of all days to be cold!! It didn't go above 50 all day. Last nite was around freezing temperature (30s)

I asked if they wanted to go in already or walk around for awhile. Well hmm it was purty darn cold so we decided to go in. I of course was carrying my purse so I went into the line that I thought was the purse check line. NO it was the pay-$2-so-they-can-hold-your-camera line! I didn't figure this out until about 15 minutes of standing there. grr. Finally I go the right spot, get in right away. Nice place the House of Blues is. We walked around to take in the surroundings. Found a picture with a turtle on it! Hee hee. It's on the very left end of the "house" in case you're wondering. Then we looked at the souveniers. I bought a red shirt, and a hat. I thought this one looked cool too but I decided not to buy it.

The concert started at 8 even though the ticket said 8:30! The first opening act was a lady named Tristan Prettyman. She was pretty good... Christine said she looked like a guy. lol. She was up there with her acoustic guitar, jeans, a beanie... The next group was Graham-Colton. Tiff said they reminded her of Something Corporate. Somehow. I'm not sure why. The lead guitarist's name is Turtle! :D Tee hee. His nickname anyway. I have two words for them: tight jeans. LoL. Oh and this place is pretty much standing room only. Gosh! I never had to stand for so long in my entire life! I don't know how some people do it. I guess they're used to it. We were very much not.

Jason Mraz and his band came on around 9:30!! Yay!! His percussion buddy's name's Toca Rivera and he has this gnome that accompanies him. That's kind of strange. If you saw him on Pepsi Smash then you would've seen it too. We couldn't see Toca performing tho because we were on the stage right side and he was on the same side in the back. The first song they performed was Common Pleasure, which is a very Scat-type song. In the middle of it, Mraz and lead guitarist Bill were using their guitars as swords and battling it out. lol. The show had a little bit of a robotic feel. The sound effects and such. Then there was another song and You & I Both. I like that song :). Oh and you know what? Of ALL the places to be in the entire House of Blues, we end up standing next to some AHS grads! I recognized Stacie and 2 other girls she was with. I don't remember Stacie's last name name but she's blonde.... the only other stace i knew at apopka. They kinda ignored us though. That's okay I didn't really know them anyway! Heehee. Mraz is a funny guy! Nice sense of humor. :) No special attire on, he had his signature ghetto hat cocked right. Some girl threw him a hat on stage and he was wearing it for awhile. Cute. Then he actually threw it back to her! He didn't keep it. I didn't know celebrities did that. =-o A lot of the songs, if not all of them, were extended with either a solo or two or some improvising. He does a lot of the "scat stuff". Which I found very different from other acts. I admit some of the songs were SO SLOW. I wouldn't of minded that as much if I was sitting down, but you can't really move around to a song that requires no movement. At one point he brings up Tristan Prettyman and they do an acoustic duet. both guitars involved. It was very pretty, man! Lol. It was a new one so maybe it'll be on his next album. He sounds fantastically great live! I was looking forward to that. The whole Mraz show was 2 whole hours! The "last" song was... I think... No Stopping Us. It's kind of a blur now, he sang so many songs. We thought it would be The Remedy, but they kept going! Maybe it was Sleep All Day... Yeah I think so because they used the disco ball for lighting and when they were "done" the ball was still spinning.

As you can "tell" they were not actually finished. Most people stayed to cheer for an encore! I think 5-10 minutes later he came out again! yay! "Oh I forgot my camera, okay see ya later! *pretends to leave*.... Just kidding!" Then he sang an acoustic solo. Coolness. It seemed like 7 minutes long. The sophomores (tiff and christine) were getting restless. Then the rest of the band shows up! Their final song was Too Much Food. I like that one too! Come to think of it, I like most of his songs. Oh yeah, that's why I went! :P . During that song, he took polaroid pix of the band and threw them out to the crowd. What a good idea!

So that was it! Two guys to our left were particularly annoying though. They must've been drunk really early because they kept saying the same two things. "YOU F-CKING ROCK!!" "YEAH YEAH YEAH!!" Tres annoying! It was particularly bad when Mraz was trying to sing an acoustic solo. Tranquil, quiet. Then "YOU F-CKING ROCK!" man goes and it's just like ARGH! We wanted to smack them. At first we thought it was one guy but then we figured out they were just standing next to each other! We wondered how Mraz could just ignore them the whole time. hee hee.

List of songs I recognized/remembered:

Common Pleasure
You & I Both
I'll Do Anything
Unfold
Curbside Prophet
Galaxy?
Absolutely Zero
No Stopping Us
The Remedy
Sleep All Day
Too Much Food
.... and a bunch more!

We exited the HOB and it was SO COLD! But it was warm inside so it didn't really sink in yet. I think the temperature gave us all energy boosts, and suddenly we were loud and lairy. Christine wanted to do a cartwheel on the pavement. So she did. She didn't land it very well so she was just sitting there, giggly. People were giving us funny looks lol. I told her she looked wasted. She took a liking to that ("I'm Wasted!") and she said she was going to tell her teacher that's what she did over the weekend. Haha great...

Drive home was just fine. No delays/backup/traffic. I-4 is I-Fun! lol.



Mraz said they might be back for the spring! Looking forward to another show.

-*-*-*- and that's my movie review -*-*-*-

I was watching Behind the Music- The Spice Girls yesterday. Man I miss them! They were so cool with their GIRL POWER and whatnot. I didn't think Ginger was that bossy before, but from this special it does look like she slightly used the group for her own benefit. I thought it was pretty funny how the former managers/critics kept emphasizing how they DIDN'T have the bestest voices, but that wasn't important. Hmm, that's true... anyway, that's my opinion on that whole thang.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-

24.11.03

hahaha...

well there's only so much websurfing i can do before i get bored. and start writing another post. i dunno how i avoided posting everyday before? i must've been doing work or something. but there isn't an engineering quiz up, i didn't bring my calculator for math quiz, and i don't feel like writing a concert report rite now...

but anyway, i found this!

only 188 more days!!

hee hee. maybe i'll go do some quizilla quizzes... or surveys....

nope changed my mind. lol. let's talk harry potter.

has anyone seen the new Harry Potter Quidditch video game?! WoW! it looks amazing! i'd like to go rent it at Blockbuster but it probably won't actually be there until....6 months from now? lol.

well. that's all i could think of about harry potter.

i went to this other site about strange anomalies... yeah, here have fun:

http://www.anomalies-unlimited.com/

there's some freaky stuff there... like the 9/11 UFO. creepy. and the disney stuff too. but hey, you can't be a mega world empire without some contraversies/conspiracies rite? lol umm, yeah...

23.11.03

Sunday is such a good day for...

a picnic.

don't ya think??

I went to SWE's Fall picnic at UCF which was a grand time. I brought 2 pumpkin pies with whipped cream, but none of them were eaten... that's okay, at least they used some of the whipped cream! This was a thanksgiving style picnic, so there was the turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, corn, veggies, salad, beets, stuffing.... YUM ugh it was so good!! mmm... then we had a coloring contest for the most creative looking turkey. mine was a bit boring at first, so i changed it to a SUPER TURKEY ("too strong and colorful to eat!") and sketched his sidekick PURPLE TURTLE ("his pigmentation fooled all of the turtle farms!"). lol. my friend, Zena, made her turkey a Santa-theme. the best theme was one girl's who had the I Love SWE theme (of course), and best colored (?) i guess was Jonnie! hooray. they won gift cards.

after that, we played beach volleyball. it was very casual so it was fun! i only got whacked with the ball once. haha. it was funny, AliceSun (that's how her name is really spelled) serves it so low that the first time it just hit me near my shoulders. the second time i just didn't know how to hit it and it smacked me in the chest. lol. for more dramatic effect, my hat flew off! everyone was watching at that time and it was SO funny. it was fun playing volleyball again! last time i played was... personal fitness for summer school before senior year. much harder to move around in the sand tho. i dunno who won the game, i think we kept score until it was 2 to 3. lol. and we played much longer than that.

GREASE was a good production! i was 16 rows away! the acting was great, the only downsides were the sounds and the flow of transition was choppy. Joey's mike kept cutting off and the backstage people didn't seem like they knew when to put curtain up or down/when to add sounds. BUTT it was opening night so i spose it's understandable. They sang songs i didn't recognize from the movie. maybe they're just performed on stage, or just for this production. I was surprised they didn't do that very last song from the movie! You know the one that goes "I got chills, they're multiplying, and i'm losing control..." actually... i think they sang part of it... now i'm confused. but they sang this other song called All Shaken UP? something like that. but i still had a good time! The best part was when Alfonso (teen angel) came "flying" down towards the stage with all the girls flapping feathers around him when he sang. :) great cameo. after the show i met Joe Fatone (joey's dad) and bought a shirt. Jeff Conaway was signing autographs but my dad didn't want to wait in line so we just took a picture of him signing. oh yeah and i was standng in it too. :P

21.11.03

a story (actually a forward)

Fishing
A couple go on vacation to a fishing resort in northern
Minnesota. The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife likes
to read.

One morning the husband returns after several hours of
fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the
lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short
distance, anchors, and continues to read her book.

Along comes a law enforcement officer in his boat. He
pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning Ma'am What are
you doing?"

"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking "isn't it obvious?")

"You're in a restricted fishing area," he informs her.

"I'm sorry officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading.

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman."

"But I haven't even touched you," says the officer."
"That's true, but you have all the equipment."
The Officer says "have a nice day."

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can
also think.

20.11.03

lol. hi! hee hee last post for today. i think. i should take up a new hobby. reading? oo which reminds me, i haven't finished all the scary go round comics yet!

i was catching a current here on this fine surf called the internet and i went to this site:

www.ratemyteachers.com

This is the High school/ Middle School version. there aren't actually that many teachers rated for Apopka High. but for ms. "beachum" (they can't even spell her name right), 2 of 3 said she was a good teacher! the other said "She only likes you and helps you if you are a 'prep', and part of her little 'senior class council circle.'". mhmm...

then i went to see what they put for mme harris:

"Mrs. Harris is really nice. She is an excellent French teacher!"

*puke!* who are you and when did she brainwash you?! lol. i wouldn't go that far. i wouldn't even go farther than to say she was semi-tolerable. mais c'est mon avis.

then i wondered what they thought of her at winter park high:

"She is very eccentric, which makes the class fun. It's really easy too. And who doesn't like "fake" parties with french food? French II rocks..."

Eccentric! ahahahaha... hahaha. lol fake parties?! what is doing over there? oh and i most certainly think gatherings with food are parties! hee hee.

hmm i wonder if there's one for Duarte... *checks* ... oh there is! not that many comments tho. hmm how about Libertyville... yup!

the college version is www.ratemyprofessors.com which i highly recommend when it comes to getting an idea of your teachers for the next quarter/semester.

well... i wasn't going to post anymore, but since i am sitting at school, waiting for class to start in 2 hours...

i feel obligated.

UCF football played Marshall yesterday. it was broadcasted on ESPN2. oh great we're going to lose on national television! again! it seems as though 8 of the players are suspended?! i know at least one of them was punished for carrying a gun to school. stupid! lol. poor football team. they also recently fired the head coach prematurely. one of the local radio stations jokingly predicted a 40 point loss. then when he heard about 8 of the players being absent he predicted an 80 point loss. haha. well HA! UCF proved him wrong!

they only lost 21 to 7.

yesterday i went to another concert for my music class. this was extra credit! i go out of class at 3:20 and the concert wasn't until 8pm. hmm, time to kill. time to kill time. that sounds weird. anyway... so i did a math quiz then i had 3 hours left. i thought of going to a movie but then i thought well by the time it's done i'd be late... so i got in my car and drove around. went to the bank... got gas... went to Big Kmart. fuunn... read ... People magazine? don't remember which one. then i left, went to Burger King. listened to Mraz CD... wow doing stuff alone is so boring!

Evil Crystal?
the Jazz concert was cool, they performed Beyond the Sea :). i also recognized Luck be a Lady and Mrs. Jones. i sat with my engineering friend Michelle and her roomate Melanie. i doodled while they played hangman and tic-tac-toe. for extra credit we just had to pick up a card and turn it in at the end. apparently the guys behind us didn't want to stay the whole 1.5 hours so one of them wanted me to turn it in FOR him. so i was holding his card. thinking if i should or shouldn't take it in ... i could get caught "cheating" the extra credit for someone, then they wouldn't accept mine.... on the other hand, they might not even realize i'm handing in two... maybe i could just turn his in, my grade is good, i dont need these points... what am i thinking?! if i had to sit for the whole 1.5 hours then he should've too! ... so at the end i just turned mine in. muhahaha. Mel asked if i turned his in and i said nope! lol. and oops the card blew out of my hand by the wind on the ground. oh, no. it fell, on the ground. !! i just left it there. :P oh i admit it! i littered that day!

haha i may be gullible but i'm not [that much of] a pushover.

I get chiillls , they're multiplyin' .. Cuz Floooridaa's gettin coold...



hooray!!

in other news....

i bought the "Live & Acoustic @ Java Joe's" Jason Mraz CD yesterday. It looked like someone just burned it and was selling it in the store but it was the real one u can get online! I hadn't seen it anywhere else either except on the website so I wary. I took a dive and bought it anyway :P. Do I like it? Mais bien sur. It's like an hour and 20 minutes long so it's worth the 12 bucks. It makes me want to go sit around a table with some friends in a cafe and just chill. And snap fingers once in awhile. haha. kidding...

19.11.03

boo? Kitty!!

=-o

i clicked on my link for the HP trailer and it got me here!

that is a bit scary. read the past sightings they're funny. :) add one too!

p.s.
while i'm looking for new ideas for my layout i came across these. it's great! click on the jokes for cool ideas they have.


Why did Harry potter?
Because he didn’t feel like rushing!

What’s the difference between a wizard and the letters S A M E K?
One makes spells, the other spells makes!


[EDITED 10:57 AM] (last time!)

okay! new layout, sorry about the colors, i know the background is kind of bright, etc. etc. etc.

so it's.... Wednesday! hooray! the week is almost over! that means closer to 4 day weekend! (aka Thanksgiving)

i've been working with my engineering group on our marshmallow launcher invention this week. so far we got NUTHIN. lol. last nite we were trying to figure out how to use a CO2 cartridge (from paintball guns) and use that to shoot it out. we couldn't even make a hole in the tip! a couple scratches. we used a hammer and nail, wire hanger, safety pin, can opener...does anyone know how a gun does it? it was such a good idea too... but anyway now we're trying to do a spring with a trigger idea. it isn't due till dec 5th but this seems like the only week we can work on it.

Tomorrow is the production of Grease! yay! i'm excited, i don't think i've gone to a full out musical production. Besides, you know, the Scarlet Pimpernel. :P Joey Fatone is playing Danny Zuko, Alfonso Ribeiro (Carlton from Fresh Prince) is going to be Johnny Casino (?), and there also going to the guy from the original Grease who played Kineicke. eek okay that's bad, i'm going to look up the flyer so i'm not wrong.... *surfs web*... okay Alfonso is the Teen Angel, Michael Andrew (of Swinghead?) is Johnny Casino, and Jeff Conaway (the original Kenickie) is Vince Fontaine. Hmm somehow i dont know all those characters but i'll probably remember when i see it.

oh i forgot to mention: Knightstock was aight. i only went during Bain Mattox's show (i think i called them brian maddox before) but i really liked it! i figured out bain is the actual lead singer. interesting name. he played the mandolin, 3 other types of guitars, and the accoridion! sexy, no? really unique so i thought, cool! from far away (as i was walking) they reminded me of incubus, but not really. i guess u'd term him... alternative? slow rock? i bought a cd (which i'm listening to now) and i like it. i met Bain, he's cool, got his autograph hee hee.

well... i think it's time to change my blog! new layout coming soon.

17.11.03

I'M ALIIIVE!!!

omigoodness, SUGAR RUSHES are so awesome!!!

aheeheehee...

okay i'm not on one now, but just thinking about it is very amusing.

so MY Weekend...

I knew Stacy had been coming but being the indecisive people we are, we hadn't exactly planned anything yet. so it was friday afternoon and i hadn't heard from her so i wrote an email. yay emails. didn't go online later that night to check so the next morning i work up 7:45/8ish. i wanted to roll over and go back to sleep but i first mentally went over my agenda for the day. to see if i had to be awake or not. so then i remembered BREAKFAST WITH STACY! so i SPRANG out of bed. lol not really. buh yeah then i checked my email to find i had a reply! hooray! call after 8am, she's picking me up at 9 . okay so i'm getting ready. called. no answer. left a pretty dorky voicemail which she hopefully just deleted. 9 rolls closer. called. no answer. then she calls. tells me she's just laying in bed. yay. about 30 more minutes she says. okay... so then it's 9:45am. *waiting* i call again. 5 more minutes! finally jacq arrives in that purty red car of hers.

I made her wait outside while i was putting my shoes on. hmm that wasn't so nice...oops. but i saw she was just standing there so i knew she didn't care. then... she drove! vroom vroom! the passenger seat had been reclined a lot and i was trying to be clever and figure how to bring it up on my own. (it's a good thing she noticed, i probably would've broken something) i didn't figure it out, *cranked* the seat up. how complicated. i do think the other drivers were testing her skills that day! after driving semi-aimlessly we arrived at Perkins. I showed her my mini camera and we compared it to hers. hee hee. her's is pretty mini too. anyway... uhh... we were seated, i proceeded to touch everything i saw. including the shelf on the wall which had fake drawers. disappointing. we both ordered OJ. ew tastes nasty after eating waffles/french toast. then she gave me some sugar in the raw ALL the way from MIAMI!! wow! it's practically foreign. i was going to keep the package intact, but then she gave me a second pack. at first it tasted like orange juice. lol. but then when the taste kicked in. YUM. breakfast arrived (we had it pretty late according to Burger King time). held off on the sugar. then i was full from eating my 2 out of FIVE toasts. that was a lil much. i'm glad i didnt order anything else. we discussed her weird friends. i told her she wasn't weird but she said that didn't mean anything because I was weird too. lol. well fine! so i had plenty of sugar still left in the package. hee hee. sprinkled some on a remaining bite of my toast "because apparently everything needs more sugar". lol. jacq i didn't know u were sugar overdosing from those waffles! u didn't say anything haha. anyone, yes it was crunchy hee hee. and not in a burnt way either. mmm in an oh-so-bad-for-me way. and yes i then started spooning some sugar down. LOL. baaadd... i'm one of those kids who ate frosting straight out of the carton so it didn't seem so bad. hee hee. then we finished. gave the waiter a $3.05 tip. lol. i left the nickel! it was me! went to go pay..."oo stickers!"... paid, went to car.... "i see the car!!!"... (the car was rite in front of us)... drove home. hooray! that was fun. but at the same time just relaxing, you know? cuz we weren't hyper crazy the whole way, but just a good hang out with a good friend time. :)

DUDE and i thought i lost my ability to write too much...

on the drive home we enthusiastically discussed harry potter. HARRY POTTER MARATHON!! 12:01am June 4th, yeah that SO is going to be us. hee hee. but i'm hoping molly, stacy, and i can all get together for HP3 (which is still too far away). anyway, we're still driving... on welch rd the caravan of cars in front of us were going about 10miles under. exciting i know. so we got home! aww that was nice. thanks for finding the time for me Stacy! :)

i got home, had lunch an hour later. lol. talked to sonya. told her i had the urge to type "hee hee" after every comment. went to altamonte with my sister. by this point i'm bouncing off the walls going "Ooo LOOK!!" at random things. my personal volume was just louder after that. oh ACTUALLY first we went to TOYS R US!! wow i hadn't been to a t.r.s. in so long. everything looked so cool! oo there was a shelf full of turtles! on sale! aahhh. and they were cute too. the hug and squishy kind. yay so we went all over that store. FUN, felt like a little kid. so what if we were the oldest people there without adult supervision? then at the mall, we discovered the See's Candies stand is back! YaY! which means i went to buy some chocolate (bordeaux). hee hee. ate that. (turtle's sugar intake 12 out of a possible 10) went to a lot of stores. saw a turtle to climb on in the children's play place. that is so wrong to have a height limit in there. that's sexist! haha anytime there's some sort of discrimination we say it's sexist. oh no my weirdness is rubbing off on her! they have all these security dudes just standing there. poo. i just want to go in there and take a picture. pose on the turtle. but that would mean being weird in front kids *and* adults. oh and Santa is at the mall! ridikkulus! we were pretty close to taking pix with him hee hee.

had dinner with the fam down undah at the Outback steakhouse. good stuff. shared ribs with my sister cuz i was just eating too much that day. mmm sugar....

okay so that wasn't my weekend, that was my Saturday.

i do have an emergency package of sugar in my purse...

14.11.03

Happy Friday!

yes i know the day is almost over.

right now UCF is having their "Knightstock" out behind the student union. it was sposed to start at 5:30 but when they were allowing people in there was NOBODY. haha. and that was close to 5. hopefully there will be more people. The main band is Sister Hazel who i can't remember is at the moment. that had this hit called All For You. Jonnie was singing it yesterday but now i can't remember how it goes. there's also people like brian maddox and... well that's all i remember rite now. but 4 other bands i think. but yeah i'mma have a look-c at that in a bit. oh and did i mention it's free? free is good... free is EXCELLENT.

on wed this lady came into 2 of my classes talking about going abroad to volunteer with conservation work or helping out the locals. that sounded so cool. too bad i dont have time for that over the summer. make time? nah. it's a month and she said you could go to australia, new zealand, dominican republic... she was australian and she had the accent (very cool accent). it was funny cuz she had a backpack on so it looked like she had just finished backpacking in australia lol. she was a bit out of breath as well. she passed around flyers and one of the things you could do was HELP WITH SEA TURTLE CONSERVATION. Aah!! so tempting. but.... resisted...hee hee. i think i'd like to help with sea turtle conservation efforts one day tho. i was watching something on tv and it was offering a chance to go to the Galapagos Islands. ooo! more turtles!! lol. may-n that sounded even awesomer. at least i think that was on tv. unless i was dreaming or made it up :P. but doesn't that sound like the coolest thing?!

olrite that's the scoop for me.

13.11.03

Something Wicked This Way Comes

aah! Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban trailer! aah!! Aahh!!

wow it's coming! yay it's coming! woohoo!

so maybe it's still 7 months away...

at least the soundtrack is coming out in MAY 2004.

that's only 6 months from now! :)

man i can't wait! i hope june comes faster now.

12.11.03

just keep posting, just keep posting

wooo!! woo!!!!

yeah energy! woo!!!

hmm i thought that would help me a little. :)

yesterday: much better.

watched a very exciting softball game. they played lake brantley and brantley was in the lead 1 to 0 for the first 6 innings!! ahh!! very tense but then they got it going and it ended up being 7 to 1! yay! woo! haha. so they won 3rd place for the tournament! take that rich kids!

oh but one bad thing that happened yesterday. i had an assignment due by 11:59pm and at 9:30 the site shut down! goshdarnit! that sucked. of course i procrastinated so i only answered 6 out of 20 questions. 30%!! woohoo! it's a good thing i have done pretty well on the rest tho so my average is 88%. which is... aight. it was a 90 something. but nooo i had to wait last minute. c'est la vie.

an-ee-weigh... it's about 8:49 in the am and i got here in time to find out that math was canceled for the day! how frustrating. which means i have FIVE hours to kill now. kill stab! i hope i can get a better schedule next semester. i had it all planned out but the seats are filling up.


in the middle of the student union there is a big pegasus logo on the floor and it used to be roped off. recently they've taken away the rope. i wonder why? we are now allowed to parade all over it? i feel like i shouldn't. i mean it's a very nice picture. i don't like to be mean to nice things. i know someone out there is saying Turtle, it's just a piece of floor! you're overthinking again! Yes well maybe i am! hee hee i'm using the italicizing function alot .

alrite now it's 9am! hmm i wonder what it would be like for me to have a cuckoo clock. hanging at home of course. not in my backpack. we used to have one of those smaller grandfather clocks. the kind that hang. we would even have to hand crank it to keep it going! coolest thing ever. but then we got this thing called a cat and it saw that pendulum swinging. he kept going for it but he couldn't reach it. then one morning we found the clock on the floor. broken. oh well. something tells me a cuckoo clock would become another mission for tekla.

my blog posts don't seem to be as cool as they used to be. iono why. i need to go back and see what's missing. maybe it's the rage and passion . hee hee. maybe college life is un peu ennuyeuse. if you're thinking, well they're just as boring as before then i guess i'm doing my job rite and worrying about nothing! yay.

oh and finally, here's some new pix from the HP3 movie!


he almost looks sort of... happy


yay!


okay molly and i tried to figure out where this scene comes in the book... malfoy can do origami?!


okay that is just darn scary

if you want to see them bigger, just click on them. cuz i'm fancy like that :P. there's more on the snitch site. (see left link)

p.s.
if my blog ever loads really slow, please tell me so i can possibly... cut back on some things. oh perish the thought!

it's a great big beautiful tomorrow

hello!

well as one of you may know, my yesterday was just sad lol.

i woke up not feeling the best. i dont think i woke up on the wrong side of the bed because i only get up on one side. anyway yes, so then there was the hydroplaning thing. i had an umbrella in the car but i figured eh it's not gonna rain AGAIN it already rained that morning. i didn't carry it in my bag. i get to class alrite. then i go to the computer lab procrastinating on my geo exam studying. i got so cold in there so i finally left to walk around outside to get warm. well as soon as i go outside this cold breeze is going (the WHOOSH) and it starts pouring rain. great. and i'm thinking hmm this is not making me warm, so i run back in the cold air conditioned building. i'm shivering at this point. i thought of going to buy a sweatshirt. i was always think about that when i'm that cold. but i just waited for the rain to stop. it did about 15 minutes later.

then i walked towards the student union to buy a nice warm cheese danish and some hot chocolate. ahh... ah ah! the hot cocoa was SO HOT! slurping it down wasn't gonna happen. so that wasn't very nice. studied for my exam. it was about time to meet kate for lunch so i went out to the tables outside the union. the tables were wet of course so i went to wipe one down. sat down. finally warm weather! but no kate. :( so i'm waiting, i'm studying. the sun comes out from the the clouds to blind me from reflecting off the table. squinting action. well at least i wasn't cold anymore. i look at the weather behind me and i see these dark clouds heading towards me. not towards the union towards ME. lol. next minute this huge WHOOSH comes again. okay i'm leaving i'm leaving! i thought. i started running towards the classroom I building but not before i got wet again. whoopee.

studied some more, met some friends, then had my exam. boo exam! darn hard questions. i think i studied the material well but some of the Qs are just out there. like extraterrestrial. after the exam, went back to computer lab. talked to stacy. yay. discussed veteran's day. lol. then i was on my way to watch tiff's softball game! it rained while i was in the lab.

so i'm driving and there's some sprinkling. okay it's probably not like that at the school. i get closer and it's pouring again. well... maybe they'll just start a little late. i just pull into a parking spot when my phone rang. nooo don't cancel! it's my sister and she said the game was postponed. nooo!! noo! no! i took my sister and her friend home. the trip there was not a complete waste since the ride back was kind of fun. even tho i just *had* to take 436 all the way so it only took AN HOUR AND A HALF. it rained almost the whole way back lol. yep. rush hour plus rain isn't the best combo. *sigh*.

haha that was pretty much my day Monday. i felt like Eeyore. lol. or like those characters who have rain clouds following them no matter where they go. on another note, today is great so far! :P. my sister's game is today and it's in apopka which is just fab. tomorrow i get to register for classes! yay. aaannndd... i love finding nemo! :D it's nice not having classes. oh by the way,

HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY!

10.11.03

hee hee.

in case you didn't get it, they're krill!!

it's in some way almost nasty in a creepy crawly way.

hope you like it, cuz it's gonna stay this way for awhile lol. i think it looks cool. and i was un peu fatiguee with finding the right nemo wallpaper, so i'm going the alternate route for awhile. with real underwater animals.

i was so embarrassed this morning. my car hydroplaned while i was trying to turn onto 436. (lots of cars to see) i was turning and it was making a wider than normal turn. it was a little scary because i didn't realize it was hydroplaning right away, but fortunately i read/learned about how to stay in control in a situation like that. thanks to driver's ed! yes i was probably going too fast for the wet road and the sensitive tires (bad turtle!). by sensitive i mean they're worn down a lot so i have to remind myself to drive A LOT slower especially when wet. i thought i was tho. anyway i'm grateful that i'm safe and the car is safe so that instead of being in an accident, i am merely embarrassed of hydroplaning. ah yes and for those of you curious cats, i too partake in the tradition of naming the cars:

Purple Plymouth Voyager (van)- Tilly:what i drive every day. she's the newest of the bunch, has her faults, sensitive

Blue Dodge Caravan (van)- PePe : one of the older ones, good drive, but breaks down

Silver Buick LeSabre (not a van!)- Jacques :Jacques stuck through all these years and survived my driving it all senior year. spent a lot of hot afternoons waiting for me to be done with french stuff.

And those are my cars. i just profiled them. how pathetic lol. actually that was kind of amusing... only my sister knows what i named them all. i don't think my parents would share the fun of it. especially with the names i gave them haha. anyone else name their car(s)?

8.11.03

Animal Planet

animals update!

i saw one of those blue cranes (?) in the lake near the student union. pretty. i admired it for awhile when i saw... something swimming in the water behind it. what could it be?

if you guessed TURTLE you are right! it was pretty big! maybe like a foot. it was a red-eared slider i believe, even tho i was quite a ways from it. i can tell ;). it was swimming towards the grassy shore! aah! i wanted to go closer and take pictures but i never really know if we're allowed to get that close to the lake. there were a lot of people walking around at the time.

another day before that, i was walking towards the computer science building when i saw a black snake slither in the grass. aah! that was freaky. it was pretty close to me. fortunately it was moving AWAY from me further into the forest. i think i had a basilisk moment.

now i always see the squirrels every day, begging for food. there are a few that are quite aggressive. they actually go up on the table where you are to get food! one squirrel had touched a girl for food and she FrEaKeD out! lol. she was all up on her chair like an elephant against a mouse yelling at it to go away. another girl screamed when she suddenly saw this squirrel sitting on the table in front of her. hee hee.

AND FINALEMENT, 2 stories that would support my theory that the birds are after me. LoL:

1.) i was driving home and about to pass under the 408. there are usually pigeons flying around there and with no surprise there they were. about 4 of them were flying together, when SUDDENLY one of them divebombs towards my car and turns to go under the bridge. AAHH!! pigeons aren't supposed to divebomb!

2.) i was sitting at a traffic light while on my way to school. from there i can either go straight to 441 or turn left and eventually get to 441. so i was contemplating which way to take that day when i noticed these vultures sitting on the lamp posts. nice. well the light turned green and i was going to drive straight when SUDDENLY (hee hee, i have to type it that way to add effect) one of the vultures flies down right on the street ahead of me to block the path. aah! so i took that as a sign for not taking that way lol.


7.11.03

yay another friday.

so... what's been new with me.... we got Finding Nemo at Wal*Mart on tuesday! it was only $15.78 +tax! oo i sound like an advertisement. it came with a cd-rom game which we have yet to open. yes great movie. must watch again. oh yeah beckham movie's due sunday. aaanndd.... oh yeah i forgot to mention that the Creperie in the Florida Mall is gone! again! :(. i know it wasn't up to par with real crepes but i was still looking forward to. now it's like "salad world". boo! oo i just made myself hungry for crepes now. great.

what else... already talked about my GC concert... uhh... i need to change my template again soon. i got the background from a disney.com and i'm worried they might shut me down. hee hee. because APPARENTLY they can track it and since i dont think Disney is dumb (actually i think it's the bestest ever), then i intend on playing it safe. soon. :)

and finally... let's end it with a softball wrap up! Tiff played the Colonial High Grenadiers. can someone tell me what a grenadier is?! they had a pic, it looked kinda like those fuzzy hat British soldiers that guard the gate. yeeaahh. oh yeah so the game, they won 4 to 2! yay! a good game indeed. it was a tournament so they get to advance. poor colonial, they are hosting the tournament and they can't play in it anymore! haha. okay i dont really feel bad for them since they beat apopka last time. another game today. yay.

oh time for class. *imaginary college bell rings*

a song

"Pardon Me "
by Incubus

Pardon me while I burst
Pardon me while I burst
A decade ago, I never thought I would be.
A twenty three on the verge of spontaneous combustion. Woe-is-me
But I guess that it comes with the territory.
An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity.
I need you to hear. I need you to see.
That I have had all I can take
And exploding seems like a definite possibility
To me
So Pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and its people's mindless games
So Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same.
Not, two days ago I was having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees
I said I can relate
Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication as a welcomed vacation from.
The burdens of the planet earth, like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D...
And thinking so much differently.
Pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games
Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same.
Never be the same...yeah.
Pardon me while I burst into flames.
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.
So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same.
Pardon me, never be the same. Yeah

heard it on the radio, thought "yeah... i like that", posted it.

hear.

4.11.03

the hair flailing, the uncoordinated movement, the singing offkey without a care....

yes my friends, another concert.

lotsalotsalotsafun! probably because i actually went with a group of friends. it was kate and brother matt, amanda and boyfriend john. the lines filled up so fast. we were to meet at the library at 6:20 but i decided to go over there at around 4:30 to hang around because i was bored out of my mind in the computer lab. amanda, matt, and john were coming from Apopka and Kate had a class until 6:00. Real Rock was already there handing out shirts and bags of stuff. i started to stand in line at like 5:30 thinking i would just have them catch up to me in the line. by the time they were letting us in, the line had almost gone out to the dirt lot across the street. they FINALLY let us in at 6:30 (took forever). it was general admission so first come, best seats. anyway so i went inside already, got my nachos, while the rest weren't even at the arena yet. they gave me one of those wrist bands to be on floor. cool! but i had been standing up all that time, i didn't want to do that. plus i ultimately decided that having great seats but no friends is not as fun as not-so-great seats with friends. so, first up was Eve6. they were okay. actually let me rephrase that. the HALF-NAKED band was okay. hee hee. everyone except the lead singer, whose name i forget, were wearing short shorts. the drummer eventually took his off. great. so they jammed, lead singer doing some weird choreography up there tho lol. flapping arms, marching like toy soldier, standing flamingo. haha. i only recognized 3 of their songs ==> "Here's to the Night", "Think Twice", and Beautiful Oblivion (?). not sure what the last one's called but it goes like "socal is where my mind stays, but it's not my state of mind.... i will swallow my pride..." yeah okay i know bits of it but i like the quote about SoCal.

so after them was Goldfinger who were quite awesome by the way. they really rocked the show. i didn't really know them but i actually knew one of their songs because it's on one of the Tony Hawk PS games. lol. good song. which now escapes me. anyway the people up in seats weren't standing up, let alone jumping around, except for like 3 people. at one point the lead singer is like "Who's been to a rock show?!" *cheers* "Then what are you back there in the seats parents? grandparents?! stand the f*ck up! get the f*ck up!!" lol that was hilarious. everyone did as they were told in fear of being beaten up lol. anyway i really liked them. after the 2nd song kate, amana, and i were like "i decided i like them". haha

then finally Good Charlotte! *cheers*. they were putting the banner up and people were going crazy. hee hee silly people never seen a big banner before. they came out at i think 10pm. good set. i knew most of their songs this time! :D. i learn-ed them since going to the first GC concert. i just didn't know the 2 or 3 from their 1st album. except for the Little Things. but it was so much fun! it is very scary to jump in those bleachers at the UCF arena. when we were just standing we could feel the whole bleachers swaying back and forth lol. i lost my balance a couple times. but no i didn't fall down. these girls in front of us were standing (no, JUMPING) on the bleacher type seats- not on the floor part of it- and one girl kept slipping back! aah! her mom (?) was holding her sweater kind of, but still. she almost fell back on me lol. ANYWAY... so they played a good show uh songs included were Little Things, Lifestyles, The Anthem, Bloody Valentine,Wondering, Story of my old man, Moving On, Hold On, A New Beginning (haha doesn't really count as "song), Riot Girl, Say Anything... that's all i can remember at the moment. it was over at about 11pm

yay concert! they made a lot of use for the strobe lights on stage. that's what they're called rite? those really bright flashing lights. very blinding but it made us look cool when we moved! hee hee.

didn't buy any souveniers. 'twas a new experience at that. but souvys aren't what count.

the end.

p.s.
NEMO'S OUT TODAY! Go find him! NOW!! :)

2.11.03

"if you want to view paradise, take a look around and view it..."

Happy November!
yeah i know it's a little late.

Yesterday the fam and i rented Bend It Like Beckham. Brilliant. and i actually saw the beginning this time! ;). i missed it the first.

today i took my sister with me to see a concert because i had to do a report for music class. we left nice and early to grab some lunch, walk around altamonte. then we get there to find out it's CANCELED! argh! all that way for nothing. i continued to stand in front of the wall with the schedule on it crying "NOOO!.... NOOOO!.... NOOOO!" and hey it's sunday so not many people paid attention. man that's the second time i tried to go to one of those concerts and it got canceled. blah. so we drove to the florida mall and hung out there. bought a new outfit for her build-a-bear bear. softball outfit, very cute. oo then we discovered the new CANDY STORE in the mall! YES! it is so awesome. they even have a partyroom in there! $36 giant lollipops! Self-fill giant pixie stix. Jelly Bellys, Every Flavor Beans, Wonka Chocolate. the works i tell ya. even their own clothing merchandise. oh but i did manage to come across this candy that had crickets in it!!! EWW! apple lollipops with crickets in it! yuck! They could've been fake, in fact i hope they were, but.... eww! they look so real. but 'sides that it's Candy Land to tha max. :P i believe it's called something like Dylan's Candy Store. From New York of course. but yeah that was like OH the best candy place i've been in.
