I'm not a thief

Lori has this song in her away message tonight, but I lovelovelove this song and used to have it in MY away messages at the end of Freshman year, and now I'm putting it here too because it always applies in my life (and yours too).

I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?

And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you

Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away

I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

owww my earrrr

Visiting the Berg was great, but made me very jealous of my friends and their living accomodations and getting to spend all semester with eachother, which is silly, because I'll be off frollicking in Europe and having tons of fun.  I didn't do too much while I was there other than spend quality time with my lovies, but Danielle and I DID go to the gym...twice!  :O 

This was supposed to be a long journal entry, but AOL won't let me fit the whole thing in :(  So...

Wednesday night, got sick on the way home.  BAD headache, which turned into a bad headache and sore throat on Thursday, accompanied by a fever.  Friday it stuck around some more.  Saturday, I got an ear ache to go with it...

Currently, my headache and throat soreness are bearable (especially when not moving and/or talking), and my ear isn't so much a pain as before, although I can't hear out of it.  Mom and I were originally supposed to go to the beach tomorrow, but b/c of my health and the weather forecast, we're gonna go find me a purse and a digital camera instead...

Lori is sending me drunken IMs which are kinda hard to decipher.  For instance:  psrnhhhgin s i lo8iek ur idon  I took that to mean she likes my new icon.  Shrug.  I'm gonna go to bed soon.

Happy Birthday Sam!

I am SO ready to go visit Muhley-world tomorrow.  I'll be back maybe Tuesday night, or maybe not!  It might be kinda boring to not have classes while everyone else does, but their classes seem to be few and far between and there are enough people I need to spend time with that it won't matter.  Plus, there's Danielle, for example, who won't have classes like me!  It's going to be weird having to PAY for meals!

Yesterday mom and I went to the beach.  It was THE perfect beach day, hot and beautiful with nice water temperature... still coulda been more waves though.  It was a real nice day, and we went to our seafood restaurant afterwards and it was yummy :) 

Today I did stuff which added up to a whole lotta nothing again, but then at night Jen H. came over and we watched Zoolander and enjoyed it muchly, as always.  I can't wait for tomorrow!  Well, except that whole dentist thing..  Ick.

I'm gonna go to bed soon since I have to wake up early.  Let's hope there's no spooky white light in my room tonight...  :(  :(

a deep conversation

deathbycstand: am i not special?
deathbycstand: do i not deserve mention?
deathbycstand: when you cut me, do i not bleed?
deathbycstand: when you poke me, do i  not laugh?
RebL1231: when i poke you you'd probably yell and slap my hand away, lol
deathbycstand: this is true

And I am right once again.  :)

hooray! :D

From Variety:

Just two weeks before the Dec. 17 release of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" -- the final installment of the Peter Jackson-helmed epic trilogy -- the first two "Ring" entries will be unspooling worldwide.

In memoranda sent to exhibitors on Wednesday, New Line laid out a game plan to promote the third film by refreshing filmgoers' memories with "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers."

Starting the week of Dec. 5, the extended DVD cut of "Fellowship of the Ring" will be released in some 100 or so theaters in the U.S. and in 20 theaters in Canada.

Then, the week of Dec. 12, sequel "Two Towers" will unspool, just a month after having preemed on DVD, leading up to a worldwide Dec. 16 daylong marathon, during which all three films will be shown back-to-back. Exhib guidelines call for a 3 p.m. showing of "Fellowship" followed by a 7 p.m. screening of "Two Towers" and then an 11 p.m. screening of "Return of the King," which will carry over into Dec. 17 -- the day of its global release.

What's your pirate name?

Your pirate name is:

Captain Bess Rackham
Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!  What's yours?

there is no sleepy mood option, but that's what i am

This week has been nice and relaxing and stressful all at once.  Stressful because of all the things I need to do before leaving, and relaxing because, well, it's home.  Since my last entry I've seen Jen Herman (hence the quotes from the other day), seen Jason a bit since he's leaving me for school :(   (might I add - I discovered on his brother's PS2 that grand theft auto Vice City is a GREAT game!), gotten together an Italy itinerary and Italy plane tickets with Tim, gone to the beach with Jen V, and played The Sims a lot (what else did you expect?!)

Some good stuff: ~Pasty and the children at the beach~ Sydney Krupnick ~the insane man stealing the umbrella in Le Divorce~ the random ending of Four Feathers ~living longer than 5 minutes while playing Vice City~ memorable quotes ~Jason's new car~ scooping melty ice cream for old people ~

And some not-so-great ones, including the three-day long fight with mom, Stacey's attack on my leg and my subsequent attack on HER, having a piece of glass pierce my foot, the fly that wanted to be a vampire, and... scooping melty ice cream for old people 

On the plate:  get my credit card, book hostels for Rome, Florence, and Venice, set up the exercise thingy and USE it and lose some weight, clean my room (i.e. throw stuff out), find a digital camera (any suggestions?), knit and decoupage (sp?) my life away :)

Left is the opposite of right, believe it or not

"Right." - Jen Herman

"Right." - me

"Right.  Correct." - Jen

"Left." - me

"What's left?"  - Jen

"The opposite of right." - me

My wisdom astonishes even me!

 

"You said right, then I said right, then you said right, then you said correct, then I said left, then you said what's left?, then I said the opposite of right." - me, a bit later

Try saying that one three times fast!

random things that make me laugh

"I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash is they don't want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash stuff, then, when somebody comes up, act like they just woke up and go, 'What was THAT?!'"

cont'd from below

This wouldn't fit in my previos entry.  Poo on that!

Today:  did a lot of stuff which added up to nothing, and slept a LOT!  Tonight Jason and I are going out for dinner and then I;d guess doing something else but I don't know what. 

This week should be busy but good, since I have people to see and places to go, and of course more Europe stuff to get ready!  I'll be up at Muhlenberg on Monday afternoon following my dentist appointment, and I'll stay through the MTA meeting on Tuesday and drive back home when I feel like it, so make sure you see me while I'm up there if YOU'RE there as well!  Or if you're home, make sure I see you before you go back to school.  Time to go continue getting ready...
