I don't know if I mentioned this before, but I am doing a plant anatomy project on the prickly pear cactus, Opuntia littoralis. I am trying to rember now why I picked this darn plant. Its turning out to be a very painful experience. I have prickels all over my hands. :(

A few things I learned this week:
I am officially tired of the Weakest Link after seeing it twice.
Its wierd that I shed a ton of hair each day yet I never seem to go bald
Delimex taquitos are good
Delimex is a stupid name
Next time I will wear gloves when dealing with prickels

My friend FINALLY gave me back a bunch of cd's I lent him to burn. I was missing my PJ Harvey, and David Bowie cd's. So anyway I haven't mentioned my knee now have I? I probably haven't mentioned it because I don't want to sound all whiney. But anyway one of my knees is pretty bad. Its always been bad, but now its worse. Before it use to only make this popping sound, but now it makes this grinding noise when I bend it. So yeah, its pretty grodie. Everyone is telling me to see a doctor about it, blah blah blah, it doesn't even hurt that much. I am just scared that I will be falling apart at the seams by the time I am 23. That is a scary prospect. I don't want to be old and feeble with a cane or something. I don't even know how I hurt it. Possibly and old cheerleading injury? Who knows, but its sounds terrible so I try not to bend my knees to much you know.
Isn't that cool how I worked the word grodie into my blog? I haven't used that word since I was 13, and I just realized I have no idea how to spell it. grow-dy?

I forgot to post yesterday, that I saw the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Ok you're probably thinking that is not my sort of movie, and you would be correct. But I couldn't help but watch, because it was a special showing. It had the directors commenting throughout the movie. That made it a whole lot more interesting. It wasn't even that bloody. So that was pretty cool, a canibal, a chainsaw, and 5 stupid kids= very amusing.

I really don't feel like going into work today. So I'll just go in an hour late and work one hour less. I don't care I am tired. Well I heard some good news yesterday, or it actually may be sad for some people. It looks like Arnold the "Terminator" will not be Californias next governor. I heard on the radio that some tabloid was going to publish something about his infidelities, if he decided to run. So he now says he's to busy to run because he is going to be the terminator again. I would have to say I am happy about this, because I would probably deny that I am a native of California if that were to happen. But it probably would have been interesting, scary none the less, but interesting.
So anyway I should probably get dressed and get ready to go to work. But I really want to go back to sleep... :(

The weather is so hot this evening. It looks like its finally spring/summer weather. Today was a fairly unproductive day for me, its actually been a very unproductive few weeks for me. I haven't done much in the way of school work, and i have been slacking on the e-mail to a few friends. I am such a bad friend, I know. I use to be really good with the e-mail, now I just get to lazy to reply.
But anyway I think I am am doing pretty well in all my classes, especially plant anatomy and art of the classical world. But then again I enjoy those classes and I only do well in classes I enjoy. Soil science can kiss my ass, I honsetly despise that class, and the people in there suck too.
I think my weblog has been lacking a certain Je'nais se quias ( I actually took french but who knows if that is spelled right) lately becase I have not been crushing on someone from a far. I no longer see "chuck" that cute physcis prof, and he was the main one I wrote about. I am sort of loving someone from a far this quarter, we will call this person "kt". But I think I just really want to be this person's friend though, who knows but whatever I feel for "kt" its pretty bad.

Ok my computer is all better now. I was a bit scared there for part of the day, I really thought it died on me. But its all a ok now. Well I am afraid to say that I let myself watch the weakest link and I got suckered in. I really hate getting suckered in by these shows, survivor and temptation island did that to me too. I just need to take a step back away from the television and say no.
I am sure there are more productive things I could be doing, like cutting my toe nails or something...

My computer has died this morning, its a very sad day for me. :(

I am still BORED! Come on people, where are you when I need you. B O R E D !

I am BORED! someone talk to me or something. I had a nice day though. But I am still Bored!!! talk to me talk to me talk to me. I doubt anyone will talk to me though. :(
B O R E D

ok so I guess its about time I posted. My day started out well but it turned crap. :( I was out collecting plants and I got a nice prickly pear fruit for my plant anatomy project. But the thing is, when I got home I forgot what i did with it. I must have left it in the field. God I am stupid! Its takes a lot of effort to collect those darn things not to mention I sacrafice my hands everytime I do it. Well it looks like I will be poked once again since I have to go and get more. I really have to go to the market and see about the cacti they carry there. its probably a safer way to collect them.
So in case I didn't mention before I am doing this plant anatomy project and my selected plant is the prickly pear. I chose it and now I am starting to wonder why. I should have picked a less painful plant. But oh well it should be interesting. I collecting the prettiest plant today though, look here

I have exams this week and it sucks. :(
Blah, I don't even feel like posting today. OK so um, I can't make a title graphic I am satisfied with. I have reverted back to the butterfly. Why am I cursed with with lack of creativity. I need a muse to give me inpiration. I was thinking that looking at all of those greek sculptres of naked men in class might stir something up in my brain, but I have yet to be inspired. Oh well, maybe I just need more sleep.

Ooo look I got an internet bumper sticker from internetbumperstickers.com. Isn't that cool.

2001-04-13

Well I woke up feeling quite good this morning, which was surprising since I went to bed feeling aweful. But my procrastination for the quarter its already starting, I have exams next week and I have yet to open a book for that stupid soil science class. Eh, like I give a crap. Things have been sort of blah for me lately. Its like I should be happy and things should be good, but I am blah blah blah. I hate blah.
I decided I want to see the dish tomorrow, but I am not sure if I am since it is my friends movie choice since it is his brithday. I am such a giving person. If I was your friend I would let you choose a movie too for your birthday. Don't you want to be my friend now?
The pic on my me page now generates a random image, oooooooooo don't you want to go over there and refresh the page a million times to see how many pics of me you can see. I know its hard to contain that excitment. Anyway I may be off to do some homework right now, but most likely I will end up lying on my bed watching the tv. I love that I am so productive.

2001-04-12

Well I just woke up about an hour ago from something I could only call the anti-nap. It was the most unrefreshing bit of sleep I have ever had. I woke up feeling disoriented, it was kind of like waking up with a hangover or something (not like i would really know). But it felt that way, and it was rather traumatic.
So basically here is how my week goes, my soil science class sucks majorly. There are just 1 too many Mr, know-it-alls in there, and too many people asking very annoying questions. I am annoyed with my requirements for my botany major because of this. A girl in that class really hates me too. Her eyes shoot me with daggers ever time I pass by her. Its really odd. I am the typical person that most people feel indifferent about, I don't draw out emotion. But she hates me so that is cool. So anyway I am planning on seeing the dish this weekend. That should be fun.

I came across this link today here, which I found highly amusing. So go check it out, I am sure you will like it too, its Wunderblog. My eyes hurt now. I should be reading about greek art so I'll go do that now.

2001-04-10

what the hell is up with blogger?? I posted the weezer link and it links back to my site. I checked it like 4 times. >.<

ok wait now it works. never mind.

Oh my God!! I forgot to mention that Weezer is FINALLY coming out with a new cd that will be comeing out May 15th or soemthing like that. I like the new song "hash pipe". I just hope its as good as their first cd. I really love them, they are too cute. :-)
I hate Mon. and Weds, it sucks for me, 'cause I have really long days. But its also the day I get to see someone I have a little crushy wushy on, so it makes it all worth it.

Well I am thinking about doing this internship, but its been hard making the decision, because when I weigh the pro's and con's, its seems that the con's win out. Maybe somebody can tell me what they think. Its a paid internship, which is $3000 for 10 weeks. Its a pay cut of what I make hourly but I don't work full time, so I would actually get more money during the summer. But the thing is that it will soak up my summer. This is my first summer off in 2 years, the last two summers I went to summer quarter. I kind of wanted a lazy summer so I can have time to go to the beach and stuff. Now it looks like I won't have time for that. I have to write this paper about why I would be a good candidate for this internship, I really hate writing these little essays praising myself and everything. So anyway it looks like that is what I will end up doing this summer. This internship is at the place I am working at already so it seems like i am pretty much going to get it if I apply. Maybe next summer I wil get a chance to relax. That will be the last summer before I start grad school...

2001-04-07

I am still thinking I need to add something or change someting about the site. ideas anyone??? Hmmm I need to take my camera when i go collecting flowers, I think I may do a little project with that...

I saw it and I really liked this movie. I think its cute how he made friends with a bird and a dog. If you can and haven't already seen it, I recomend it, so go. It totally fits my brillant but wacko man criteria for a good movie.
The weekend is off to a good start. I saw the movie and I am trying to grow jicama for my plant anatomy project. I hope my tuber has life left in it.
I went collecting plants yesterday, and it was fun even though the squirls kept running away from me. I got three plants only and I think I was able to identify two. I am not sure about the 3rd. Anyway, I need to get the jepson manual to help me out in the area if identification. Oh yeah one more thing, I think I broke my webcam. :( Either it fell off my monitor one to many times or my ugly face finally broke it, I haven't decided which was the cause yet. Maybe I will get a better one, one day. I think I should by shoes first though.

2001-04-01

Hmmmmmm, apparently the weblog/journal thing is a very american thing to do.
Well the weekend was great even though I have yet to see Pollock. *sigh* I hope it is showing next week. My new favorite cable tv channel is the independant film channel. I have seen some real quality movies there. My favorites have to be the documentaries, like this one I saw called The Cruise. Honestly it was the most awesome movie I have seen in a long time. And then there was Pi. Is it that I love movies about wacko, but brilliant men? Who knows...
