Today was really tiring.
I got out of bed really late because my alarm clock has broken and I cannot afford a new one at the moment.
I feel a bit strange because we've just moved to Idaho and there's a weird smell in the house.
I'm so hardcore. Me and Buzz went to the mall today, and I stole a whole heap of stuff. I got a Good Charlotte CD, a couple of DVDs and some new boots. Buzz got caught, but he fought his way out, and then we stole some lady's car and smashed it into a phone booth.
Last night I had to shave my entire body. Apparently, the lice that I caught from Amanda's friend are really hard to get rid of. I look quite strange with no hair and eyebrows. I'd post pictures, but my webcam is broken.
I want to tell the world that I love you all! You're all so special to me!
I am updating this journal for the first time in ages, because I've been in prison.
Today, I got a digital camera! Yes! But I don't know how to work it. Can you help me?
I want to say thanks to the academy for giving me this award.
I went to the doctor yesterday, and he said I have bipolar disorder, just like my best friend Sally.
You should all do this quiz! It's amazingly accurate. You just put in your name and birthday, and it will tell you what job you'll do when you grow up.
That's enough for now. But I'll leave you with my favourite Buffy fan-fiction piece I wrote last year when I was in hospital.

I just finished taking my final exam for one of my two classes this final semester. And I made an 80! I'm very happy because it was an online quiz and you got the results right away. The class average when I started the quiz was 67% and I got very nervous. But all is well now and I leave that class with an 87%. Which is fine by me. Only one class left now. |

I sit here doing homework and realize that it is Spring Break next week and I have no plans. I wanted to try and go down to Austin because Delta Goodrem was to have played at a festival next week. But now she does not appear on their schedule. So now all I have slotted for next week is working on my screenplay as the first 10 pages are due the Monday after Spring Break.
Oh and I will be turning 25 one week from Sunday. I'm gonna try and get Julie Chen to come in and give an update on my life thus far as she does so well with the contestants on her Big Brother show.

Ok, so I have Screewriting class every Monday and for the past two classes we have all been torn apart by the teacher when it comes time for us to read our assignments out loud. After everyone reads the teacher goes off on each of us. To various degrees of course. Last week I got it hard but this week wasn't so bad. I understand why he does it because we won't get babied in the real world if we were to pitch these ideas to studio executives and what not but it still makes it hard to get excited about your project. All the advice he gives is constructive and does help to write but it just takes a few hours to calm down and actually digest what has been said to you. On our ten minute break everyone just goes outside and rants. It is actually pretty funny. I don't usually go outside because everyone smokes out there but I find myself so angry that I must go out and bitch with them. 10 weeks to go and this will all be over. |

Tuesday was a fun little adventure. I set out for Best Buy to make a couple purchases. Maybe 3 blocks from my apartment I got a flat tire so I pulled off into a parking lot. I got all my stuff out to change the tire. I knew I could do it because I’ve done it twice before. I was able to get two lug nuts off the tire but couldn’t get the other three because my lug wrench is kind of old and worn and was not catching the nuts very well. So I put everything back together so I could walk down to the Wal-Mart. Mind you I had left my cell phone at home thinking I would not need it. So as I walked to Wal-Mart, it was about 40 outside, I remembered that Target was closer. So I went in hoping to find one of those cross lug wrenches. Well Target had only 2 aisles in the Automotive department and had no lug wrenches. So there in the aisle surrounded by all the Sponge Bob Square Pants car paraphernalia you could ever need, I had possibly the gayest moment of my life, excluding the 2 times I went to see Cher and squealed my head off. I almost burst into tears in the aisle realizing they didn’t have a lug wrench and I had to walk all the way to the Wal-Mart now. I rushed out of Target hoping no one would see the tears swelling. Well I did make it to Wal-Mart and bought me a shiny neon blue lug wrench. I walked back to my car hoping that this would help me get the other nuts off (Ha!). I blistered and scratched myself trying to get them loose but it was not gonna happen and I finally gave up. I put everything back together again and started to walk back to my apartment and of course it started to rain halfway back. Got home and called AAA, which has to be the most embarrassing thing ever. Having to ask for help to change a tire drained me of whatever masculinity I had left. But the wrecker guy got there faster than I could get back to my car so I was happy. I was so embarrassed because I kept mumbling how I got two of the nuts off so I wouldn’t look like a total gay. He was nice and changed the tire in like 5 minutes. I won’t tell my Dad about this because he seemed really proud the other two times that I changed the tire on my own. I got home and felt so defeated that I stuck on my Scissor Sisters DVD to listen to while I took a long bath. And I’m taking this a sign from the Universe that I don’t need to go back to Best Buy to make my two purchases. Ashlee Simpson and Michael Buble. |

So I am now in my final semester of university. And it actually hasn't hit me yet because I don't have plans for what to do when it is all over. Scary.
I'm only taking two classes because that's all I need now and frankly all I wanted to pay for. I have Screenwriting and an online Crime & Delinquency course. The online course is actually only 8 weeks long, so by mid-march I will only have one class to attend each week. Vury, Vury easy you see.
But yesterday in Screenwriting we had to turn in this Time and Location paper. We had to describe the opening location of our screenplay. Well there are maybe 15 people in the class so we got to read then all out loud, which is horrifying to me. But after the class, this one girl came up to me and told me that she thought mine was the best and the only one that she could actually visualize when she heard it. This made me so happy because this was the girl that didn't like my film project idea last semester in Senior Seminar. |

Well, I’ve dropped the ball with my journal all semester. I was doing well. Bah.
I’ve been working on my film still. Getting people together to actually act in a short film is a lot more difficult than it should be. We finally got a date worked out for November 13th. Hopefully all will go well and everyone will show up. This is my senior project after all. After that shoot I will have maybe two weeks to edit the thing together. That is not bad and I can probably manage but I had originally budgeted 4 weeks to edit. I will be filming the opening scene this weekend and hopefully get that all edited next week. It is fun but a little bit of a bitch to arrange. I do have an exit plan in case the film doesn’t get finished by the end of the semester. When my name is called to put the film on for the class to view, I will simply stand up and dance a little jig then run out of the room.
I did well on my mid terms a couple weeks ago. I got A’s, so I am doing pretty well if I do say so. I only need to take 2 classes in the Spring to graduate in May. I am thinking about taking a Photography class in addition to these two: an internship (which I am frantically looking for at the moment) and an online Sociology class.
I got to blow off some steam last weekend when I went to a club called The Copa with a few friends. It was a nice little place and they played some good music. We drank and danced then witnessed a costume contest. The winners were a couple dressed as a Cowboy and an Indian. Going along with what history tells us, the Indian dutifully bent over and was “screwed” by the Cowboy. God Bless America.
Next week I have to drive 2 hours back to my voting district. I was too lazy to re-register closer to home. Oh well, it really is worth it I suppose. Or at least it better be. |

I'm just lazy.
Nothing is happening at the moment. I'm deep into trying to get my Senior Project together. I have so much self doubt about this but I'm gonna try and do it anyway.
The best thing that happened last week was walking through Best Buy and finding the new Lisa Loeb CD on the shelf. I didn't know she had a new one out. Thought she had just gone quiet.
Also, I believe that Victoria Beckham should name her new child either "Anchor" or "Killedmycareer". Or not. |

This week I have started my fall classes. I’m trying to get used to all the people again. Suddenly the campus is flooded again. You can’t turn without knocking into someone. This is way different to the sparse campus that I had gotten used to during this last summer. I haven’t even been able to log onto the campus computer lab because it is full every single today. The good news is that I only have 18 credit hours left to complete. That is 3 courses this semester and 3 in the spring. Right now I’m taking Documentary Film, Sociology of Family, and my Senior Seminar for Film and Video Studies. Next spring I should be taking on an internship and also I’ll have Screenwriting class and a Crime & Delinquency course. Then after that I have no idea what I’ll be doing. I’ve flirted with the idea of moving to Canada or with a friend to New York to attend more technical courses. I really have no desire to move out to California, which is what everyone suggests I do. I do not want to live in California. I’m not sure if I would enjoy it that much. Who knows, I may even find work here in Oklahoma.
The Megan Mullally concert was excellent, as I knew it would be. I had bought tickets in the second section of the balcony but when I went to pick up the tickets I was asked if I wanted to sit closer. First I asked was if it would cost more because I could not spend anymore money. I was already buying a $55 seat. The lady said no and then showed me where I would be. I thought it would be just closer in the same section but it was all the way in the front. I was in the orchestra pit, four rows from the stage. It was wonderful. I paid for a $55 seat and was upgraded to the $100 section. And Megan is a wonderful singer. She sang some obscure stuff so the audience had a hard time getting into it all at times. She acknowledged that most people were probably surprised she was singing and just knew her as Karen. She told us that she was mildly amusing on her own. And indeed she was. Before she came onstage, the guy who introduced said that Aug 21st had been declared “Megan Mullally Day” in the state of Oklahoma. She was very embarrassed by this and simply said, “Good times”. I was so freaking happy because she sang my favorite PJ Harvey song, ‘Down By The Water’. She did the last line so wonderfully, “Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water. Come back here, man, gimme my daughter”. It made me so immensely happy to see this. |

I finished my summer classes yesterday. I had my final in Gay Man In Film. It was a really good class. We watched films like "Trick", "Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss", "Torch Song Trilogy", and "Get Real". I think I will get a B in the class only because I didn't talk a lot. The teacher was big on class participation. Oops.
A few of us in class went out for a drink after the final. I hadn't eaten all day so I was kinda iffy on drinking. I did anyway of course. I haven't had a drink in a long while. I had 1 Long Island Iced Tea and was completely buzzed. How sad is that? I was all chatty and dizzy. Said a few that I wish I has not now but oh well. We decided to go to a Kareoke bar on Thursday. We will see if I actually get up and sing. Doubt it.
A girl from that group is also having a Pre-Fall Semester party where we go to compare schedules. You know, find out if anyone has the same classes or if other people have dirt to dish on classes you are taking. But the thing is that she is gonna introduce me to a "special" guy friend of hers. His name is Christian. I'm all nervous. Guys and dating give me rumbles in the tummy. We will see how that goes. I'll blow it I'm sure.
I got my ticket for the Evening With Megan Mullally. I could not be any more fookin' excited. I won't be able to pay all my bills next month but who cares. I *heart* Mullally. |

Ok so my best friend found out she was pregnant last month. Which was also her 1st anniversary, so she was sky high with excitement. On Monday she went to the doctor for a check up and all that jazz. When they checked for the baby's heartbeat they found none. So yesterday she had surgery to remove the baby. She is now, rightly so, desperately unhappy. And I feel like shit because I can't do anything more to make her feel better. I know that this is something she has to deal with on her own and nothing I say will make her feel better. It is just so fucked up and not fair. Earlier she was given the due date for the child and today she told me that it was March 20th. My birthday. Like I said, so very fucked up. |

I have these Scissor Sisters files that I captured. They include a Scissor Sisters interview and then I also have the three songs in separate files. The songs are all in the interview too. If nothing else just download the live version of 'Mary'. It is just really lovely. Just Jake and the piano. Not sure who I am making these for, but I wanted them so I'm sure some other people will as well.
I also captured a short docu on the band that is on one of their websites. It is pretty cute especially the "Wizard of Oz" parts. "Apparently some people go both ways?!"
The video also has clips from a live show which makes me excited for the Live DVD they are soon recording. And hopefully they will tour more here in the States. Sorry if the quality is crap but this is the first time I've done anything like this. I could not get the songs into MP3. Only WMA. The video is WMV. Dunno if that is the best but it is all I could figure out how to do. Oh well.
They are all on yousendit so just left click on the links then it takes you to another page where you then right click - save as.
