Your Birthdate: November 4 |
Being born on the 4th day of the month should help make you a better manager and organizer.
You may be more responsible and self-disciplined than you realize.
Sincere and honest, you are a serious and hard working individual.
Your feelings are likely to seem somewhat repressed at times.
The number 4 has something of an inhibiting effect on your ability to show and express affections, as feeling are very closely regulated and controlled.
You are apt to be much more practical, rational, and conscious of details.
There is a good deal of rigidity and stubbornness associated with the number 4. |

i almost killed chris, connie and another woman today. driving to tomball down stuebner, a woman pulled out in front of me. i'm not exactly sure what happened but i saw her and slammed on my breaks JUST in time to miss hitting her into the passanger seat of her car. mom and dad wouldn't have been too happy with me...but then again, i'd be in JAIL so it wouldn't really matter now would it? VERY sad story.
on a happier note, however, my interview at lifetime went REALLY well and i'm excited about the possibility of getting a job there this summer. i also talked to ann and chris for the first time today in quite a long while. it's nice to know that they are alive and kickin. can't wait to see them this summer--hopefully lots!?
thanks to those of you who read my blog. it's nice to get comments! and, john, congrats on finding this site!!!
have a great night, all!

i have a question for EVERYONE that comes from the book i am currently engrossed in, you have to kiss a lot of frogs by laurie graff.
what would you do if your father left you and your mother when you were 4 to join the circus...and he doesn't keep in touch; your mother remarried to a WONDERFUL, honest, reliable, etc. man who has been there for you and with you through just about everything; you meet some older guy when you're close to 35 who seems really cool; you introduce him (as a friend because neither of you are interested in each other an any other sense of the word) to your parents...only to find out that this "new friend" is your long, lost father?
knowing that i share genes with my daddy makes this a little difficult, but i know some people who have been raised by men who did not conceive them. i just wonder what other people think about this. anyway, if you're interested in leaving me your opinion, feel free to comment!

AHHHHHHH!!! sometimes i just don't know if it's all worth it.
i was reading old posts earlier today. i've decided that i really miss erin. like, HARDCORE! i miss staying up late talking. i miss the good times at elliot hall. i miss those "spur of the moment roadtrips" that we used to take. i miss undies shopping together. i miss the outlet mall with her. i just...miss her. i miss having friends. i don't feel like i have any anymore. not here, not at txstate. life kinna sucks for me right now.
that's probably all i should say for now. have a great weekend.

you know...i took a moment to really think about this last night and i've decided that while i'm really excited about going back to txstate in the fall, i'm not sure why. i don't have any friends anywhere. very few people have kept in contact with me here and there and...i just feel friendless. what do you do when that's EXACTLY how you feel? like, i thought that julie and i would stay kinna close but i guess i should have known better than that. i figured i could depend on the fanatics but NONE of them will talk to me anymore. that shows just how much they never really liked me in the first place, i guess. i love being away on AIM for, like, 2 days straight and not having one LOUSY message left. haha...but whatever. guess i'll just be a lonely miserable person forever. good thing i've got chris. he's the only one that i haven't lost touch with through it all...even with the whole mess from last spring.
whatever, i just wanted to get it out.
i may be running up to san marcos this weekend but don't know who to tell cuz i'm not planning on staying long...not that i think anyone would particularly care if i were...

WE HAVE A NEW POPE!!!!!!!!!!! Pope Benedict XVI. don't know what that means, but...i guess it's a good thing. he's not as pretty as Pope John Paul II was, though...and he's old. oh well. i was kinna hoping for the guy from central america or the one from africa cuz i think it'd be really cool to have a non-european pope, but no one asked me my opinion! it's gunna be weird at church on sunday when the priest says benedict instead of john paul but i'll get over it!
can't believe i've only known one pope my WHOLE life. that's so crazy. this is so...yeah...anyway. well, i better get to making my bed and doing some laundry. i'm pretty far behind in those two departments!
hope you (probably just jordyn...if even she still reads this) have a great day!

i'm so bored.
chris is making me blog while he pulls something up on the computer. how considerate of him, huh? NO! :( i'm sad now.
jordyn--i love you. i'm sorry that things are kinna down in the dumps right now, but just remember that swim team starts next week. no, i'm not coaching for kleinwood...although they were the first ones i interviewed with last year that i was interested in working for. i wasn't good enough for them to hire last year so i guess it doesn't really matter what chris says about them wanting me...cuz i know they don't.
k...i think i'm finished.

i know i've posted this before, but couldn't help but bring it back because it's just SOOO funny! :-D (the green ones apply to me)
You Know You're From Houston When...
You're on your way to work one February morning and suddenly you're trapped in a traffic jam caused by a chuck wagon and fifty horses -- with riders -- and you look around to see that everybody in the cars around you is wearing a cowboy hat. (chris and i did that this year!)
The "farm-to-market" roads have seven lanes.
If you want to be a snob about your grocery shopping, you can go to a Randall's Flagship, a Kroger Signature, a Rice Epicurean, or soon, an HEB Central Market to buy bread and milk (but you have to dress up!)
You have to turn on the air conditioning in January, two days after a low of 29 degrees.
You have a Roach Story: You opened your flatware drawer to find a roach the size of the Taco Bell chihuahua. He stood up and looked you in the eye. You closed the drawer, bought new flatware -- and stored it in the oven.
When you see your neighbor dancing around the front yard, you don't think he's won the Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes; you know he just stepped in a fire ant bed.
The name "Bud Adams" makes people snarl, and "Bum Phillips" doesn't mean a bad screwdriver.
"Luv ya Blue" still makes you smile, even if you did run the Oilers out of town.
You know that the Astrodome will always be the Eighth Wonder of the World.
You come to work in short-sleeves and walk out at noon to find that a "blue-tailed norther" has blown through, and the temperature has dropped 40 degrees in a matter of minutes.
Your neighbor's Christmas yard decorations look like a re-creation of the gunfight at the OK Corral, complete with a ten-foot tree decorated with boots and cowboy hats, and a Santa Claus who looks a lot like Wyatt Earp.
You wander into a section of town where you can't read the street signs because they're written in Asian characters instead of English, but you don't care because you can get great prices on fake designer merchandise there.
You go to an art festival on Westheimer and you're almost run down by two cross-dressers on roller blades, holding hands.
The "Killer Bees" are not stinging insects.
You hear everything but English spoken when you go to the Galleria to window-shop.
You know that "Dad gummit" has nothing to do with your father's failure to practice good dental hygiene.
You think "Y'all" is perfectly good usage if you're referring to more than one person.
For a Chili Cookoff, you'll use anything from armadillo to frog's legs, but you know that the only GOOD chili is made with chopped -- not ground -- beef, and it has NO beans and NO tomatoes.
Spring is not the season, Katy is not the lady, and 1960 is not the year.
Society matrons of "a certain age" still sport big hair, and faces that have gone east, west, and north rather than south.
You can leave your house, head out of town, and an hour later you still haven't left the city limits. (During rush hour, you haven't left your neighborhood.)
You've never seen I-45 in any condition other than under-construction -- and you've lived here for 20-30 years.
If the humidity is below 90 percent, it's a good hair day.
You know that "Clutch City" has nothing to do with automobile transmissions.
"The Dream" is not a fantasy.
The only real Mexican food is Tex-Mex.
A 747 with the Space Shuttle riding piggyback has actually flown low, right overhead, and nobody paid any attention to it.
You know that while saving you money, "Mattress Mac" has amassed more than the U.S. Treasury has.
You're happy to have beaten Los Angeles out of a football team, but you'd rather that they keep the title of "Smog Capital."
You see nothing unusual about an 80-something former sheriff's deputy who wears a white pompadour toupee and blue sunglasses, mispronounces names, allows televising of his frequent plastic surgeries, seems unnaturally obsessed with slime in the ice machine, and screams, "MAR-VIN ZIND-ler, EYE-witness news" into a television camera every night.
hope you enjoyed it! for more "you know you're from _____" go here.

haha...you're gunna LOVE this one. so chris and i are driving down louetta outside of HEB (i was taking him to work) and a guy on a harley came up next to me...then a woman on a harley came...then a kid on a motocycle (no harley). i know...you don't think it's as cool as i do, but you had to be there...it was really...crazy. then i asked chris if he could see my mom and dad doing that and he laughed and said yes. I CAN'T!!! my mom on a motocycle of anykind...yeah RIIGHT! she won't even get on the little scooter we have.
anyway...i'm picking up and cleaning and stuff downstairs but came up here to look for something so i thought i'd throw a little something on here!

HAPPY TAX DAY, EVERYONE!!!!! (j/k) but it is G'ma's birthday today, so happy birthday to her!
i got to play "mommy" this morning. my mom and dad are in louisiana this weekend for grandma's 85th birthday party (i'm not going and i'm sad) so this morning i got to do what mom usually does and (1) get david up, (2) make his lunch, (3) make breakfast for everyone, (4) make sure david got to school on time, (5) make sure rob left for his flight to connecticut, (6) clean the kitchen and pick up around the house, (7) take a shower and start my day. oh the joys. hehe...i need to take the puppy on a walk because he was denied one this morning. i didn't want to follow my mother's footsteps THAT much! (she gets up at 5:15 to take him on a 2-mile walk...NOT ME!!!)
i put some "surprises" in david's lunch today, like 2 drinks instead of one, some fruit snacks, and some chocolate pudding. i told chris yesterday that i didn't want to share them, but decided to be nice today and added them in. i also wrote david a little note on a napkin for lunch.
now i'm at willowchase waiting for chris to finish his math placement test so i can drop the math class he wants (i added it to hold a seat for him) and so i can pick up the bio class that i need. oh the joys...*sigh* j/k aaaanyway...what else?
rob left for connecticut and david's going somewhere tomorrow night, so i'm gunna be home alone. maybe i'll rent a chick-flick or two, buy lots of chocolate ice cream, and curl up on the couch and enjoy my night of peace?! we'll see... i hope mom and dad are having a good time in baton rouge.
have you ever taken a shower JUST because you were cold? you may be clean as all getout, but you're equally as cold, so a warm shower seems like the only logical option? that's kind of how i feel right now. someone PLEASE explain to me why the tomball college system feels the need to freeze us out. tomball is freezing; willowchase is freezing...it just seems like a waste of MONEY! i mean, seriously, it's 85 degrees outside and i have to bring a sweatshirt to class because if i don't, i'm gunna be too cold to think straight. explain that one to me. *sigh* some people...
i don't think i have anything else that i can possibly rant and rave about so i'm gunna go...do something else until chris finishes.
OUT!

haha...i got this one from rob. thanks! (and, according to him, this joke isn't done justice when read from his phone thing.)
Joe took his blind date to the carnival.
"What would you like to do first, Kim?", asked Joe.
I want to get weighed," she said.
They ambled over to the weight guesser. He guessed 120 pounds. She got on the scale; it read 117 and she won a prize.
Next, the couple went on the Ferris wheel. When the ride was over, Joe again asked Kim what she would like to do.
"I want to get weighed," she said, and back to the weight guesser they went. Since they had been there before, he guessed her correct weight, and Joe lost his dollar.
The couple walked around the carnival and again he asked "Where to next?".
I want to get weighed," she responded.
By this time, Joe figured she was really weird and took her home early, dropping her off with a handshake.
Her roommate, Laura, asked her about the blind date, "How'd it go?"
Kim responded, "Oh, Waura, it was wousy."

yesterday chris and i went downtown trying to sit in on the appeal for my psychology teacher's sister's case. (she's the one that tied her husband to their bed, stabbed him 193 times, then buried him in the backyard.) we got down there, paid $8 for parking...then couldn't find the stupid courtroom. let's just say i wasn't the happiest person in downtown houston yesterday...but at least i was with my baby! ;) anyway...so we went up to the 9th floor (where my teacher said the appeal would take place) but couldn't find courtroom #14 so we were going back down when i saw a lady coming toward the elevator. i held the door open for her (thinking nothing really of it) and she was like, "you're SUCH a nice person!" i thanked her but didn't really think i had done anything out of the ordinary. then she looked over at chris (on the other side of the elevator) and asked if we were together. i said yes and she said we looked really cute together then asked when the date was...she meant WEDDING date. i kind of chuckled and said that i wasn't for a while, i guess, and she asked if it was because i didn't like him. WRONGO! i LOOOOOOOOOVE him! hehe *smoochy smoochy* anyway, we got to the bottom floor and went our separate ways, but...something about that conversation...
today i was sitting outside on the deck doing my precal test #3 flowchart (the only extra credit offered in that class) and when i stood up to go inside, chris and i noticed that i had a REALLY funny looking tan on my left leg. well, you see, i was sitting with my right leg over my left leg (because it's comfortable) and when i got up, i noticed that i had a line from where my leg had been...AAAAAND i was wearing capri-wannabes so i have a triangle-ish tan on my left leg. crazy if you ask me. it's kind of going away, though. i wasn't even out that long...i didn't think.
i think i failed my precal test. fun stuff. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! that totally shoots my nice GPA. *stupid math class*
mina came to visit me tonight...after he told me he was moving to washington tomorrow. APRIL FOOLS! ...not funny, mina.
CHRIS ORDERED GLASSES TODAY!!! that's kind of a funny story too, i guess. ok. i was in class when chris went to the eye doctor for his appointment so i met him there because he wanted me to help him pick out frames. i showed up soon after he finished his exam and the lady that was helping him asked if he was interested in glasses. he said yes. she asked if they were just for "around the house" or if he was planning on wearing them out. to school, so out. so we started looking. after the first pair that she picked out, he looked at me...to which i said, "don't look at me. if you like them, think about it. if you don't, don't. you're the one that has to wear them, not me!" and SHE said, "yeah, but you have to look at him." *hehe* so she, chris and another lady who came over to help were looking at the "first reaction" on my face when he put on a new pair to decide if he could consider them or not. in other words...i picked out his glasses for him...and if i DO say so myself (biased opinion, i know) they look mighty fine! (but then again, maybe it's the guy not the glasses.)
i guess that's it. PLEASE LEAVE ME A MESSAGE SO I KNOW WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE STILL READ THIS...OCCASSIONALLY...

haha...so i went out to take dutch on a walk and we decided instead of going to the park like we usually do, we walked around the neighborhood for about 30 minutes. that was fun!
the funny part about it?! NOT the fact that i went on a walk. we were walking past a house and i saw something kinna interesting that caught my eye. so i looked closer...only to see that it was a really big bird that didn't appear to be able to fly...only to look closer to see that instead of just ONE bird it was TWO birds. one was holding onto the other one's tail. it was CRAZY! i've seen birds attack squirrels but i've NEVER seen birds attack other birds...not like that at least.
well...i'm all yucky so i'm gunna go take a NIIIIIIIIICE shower. yay fun for that! *hehe*
