| thought this was funny....
AND.....this lady.....has adopted a squirrel! named: PEANUT!!! (that's what i originally wanted to name Joey)
CAPTION: Hurricane Katrina victim Sondra Sercovich from Mandeville, Louisiana,
waits in line for a food stamp application, and shows off her new furry
friend 'Peanut', a 4-week old baby squirrel she rescued after the
hurricane. The animal lover who has 11 cats, 12 tortoises, three dogs,
two chameleons, and five children, has been keeping the squirrel warm
on her chest, and will be intregrating the squirrel into the family.
awesome.

| it's been a while since i've updated....i feel like this is the only chance i'll get so here goes!
AND LOOK AT ALL THE COOL NEW FEATURES. forgive my lameness. i have been *premium xanga* deprived. 
SO.....i've been SUPER DUPER
busy with school. i'm trying to keep up with the work so i don't repeat
my whole undergrad experience. im doin alright so far except the
conflicts at work are killing me. i want to quit so bad but at the same
time, my wallet is so lonely without any cash in there to keep it
company. SO, i have to tough it out.
but i have NEVER been this stressed at work. and everyone around me can
see it. which SUCKS. right now i just hate being there. (except i get
to see a few AWESOME co-workers that i just love). but i was seriously
ONE step away from taking my plant and haulin my butt out of there a
couple days ago when "the shit hit the fan." (haha. that's annie's
phrase) we'll see how it goes.
when i went to orientation for grad school...i expected to be
introduced to teachers and you know..."orient" myself with the school.
NOPE. i got, "hi im dr. christie. my emphasis is on evaluation and
behavior methods. here is your syllabus. you have 21 chapters to read
and a 5 page reflective essay due before the first day of class next
week. welcome to graduate school." are
you freakin KIDDING ME?! and the dean concludes with the department
motto: "Pain is temporary. Pride is forever." WONDERFUL! 
the upside to all this is that it's actually really awesome to be in a
room filled with people with the same interests as me. (organizational
psychology or something close to that nature.) it's a completely new
experience for me and im loving it so far. and everyone at CGU is super
nice and it's just really cozy. it's a freakin park for heaven sakes.
you're driving...trees....lots of trees....tiny cottage-like
houses....trees...BAM! WELCOME TO CLAREMONT COLLEGES. good times. OH!
and it's amazing the amount of free food we get every day. i guess the
freakin ridiculous tuition is going SOMEWHERE. (my tummy!) 
news update:
me and matt got the puppy!!! i've been so busy i never got to post about him yet!!! meet JOEY:
   
heehee! that's the puppy! yea his left ear is floppy but one morning,
matt woke up and BOTH of them were straight!!! so now he looks more
like a corgi. he's a corgi/beagle mix. i didn't have time to upload the
current pictures of him with both ears up. but he's still the cutest
ever.  i wish i got to see him more often. he's such a good doggie. we got really lucky.
went to big bear with the boy and the roommates minus sherry. had a lot
of fun! we were so bored on the boat we actually made up a game that
involves a football and a lake.  but it was fun. i was the first to jump in the water!
me and tobi man! we rock! but the water was so damn cold that i will
NEVER do that EVER again. i really wanna go see tahoe in the summer
now. with the clear-water lakes. but i'll get to soon enough. just as
soon as tobi gets her house up there. with her dogs and her horses and
her boat.  i'm SO there.
went to manna to eat LONG AWAITED korean BBQ with the rommmates (all of
which are NOT my roommates anymore but i refuse to call them anything
else because they shall be my roommates FOREVER.) we had a really good
time! i can't wait to hang out with them again....i miss living
together. but we're GOING TO TAHOE SOON!!!! to play in the SNOW!!!!
woohoo! i haven't snowboarded in like...2 years. not that i KNEW how to
before...but now i gotta re-learn it. bah! i'm looking forward to the
pain. 
*HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY TO SAMUEL on August 26th!* yay! [clap clap]
randomness: passed my insurance national exam! YAY me!
saw kim, jean, and nick
at the gas station one day in riverside! I MISS THEM!!! i miss working
at TAPS. i really do. i was the biggest TAPS nerd ever. it was really
awesome to see them though. it's been so long. and i looked like crap
too. but hey, it was still a nice surprise. miss you guys!
angie is gone to korea. and i didn't even get a chance to formally say
BYE. boo!!!! hope you're doing well out there babe! LOVE YOU! take care
of yourself!!!!
*HI JIEAE! definitely gotta talk more on the phone. i was all excited. side note: get a different phone card.  * MISS YOU!
im lookin into buying a condo out near my school so i don't have to
commute to school, work, AND back home which is just about 40-50 miles
away from each other in all different directions. blah. if you
know...you would know that im scared to DEATH to live alone but im
kinda excited. (probably cause it hasn't hit me yet.)
the boy drove out to claremont today to have lunch with me for 30 minutes. yay.
im addicted to the mr. brightside song by the killers. and i like the
new all-american rejects cd too. i'm actually up to date with the
latest music! no....i just drove my brother's car one day cause mine
died. sigh. i'm such a loser. nothing beats traffic radio man. it's all
about KFWB NEWS 980.
tom came to visit today! totally surprised me and my brother outside on
the driveway, driving his freakin brand spankin new motorcycle. those
things creep me out. SOOO scary. probably from a traumatic experience
during my childhood but eh. still dangerous. it was good to talk to him
though. i love catching up with old friends. and i've been friends with
tom since the dinosaur ages. love you buddy.
okay....goodnight everyone! GEEZ i wrote an essay up there. gotta sleep
now. since it's FRIDAY night and i'm HOME because i have an ALL DAY SATURDAY class tomorrow. me? bitter? NEVER.

| this sucks. and it's SO just like me to sit here and type when things are not right.
i don't even know what to write. i'm speechless. without words. dumbfounded. for heaven sakes i'm SPEECHLESS. ME. i'm NEVER speechless. i talk ALL DAY LONG. and yet..i'm lost for words. actually...i'm lost for everything at the moment. i hate that. i hate that feeling you get inside when things aren't right. nothing fits and you're just kinda... obsolete.
sometimes...it's the things you don't know...that CAN hurt you. or hurt me, for that matter.
who would think a simple phone call would mean so much?... it's 10:19p.m. | | |
