Ugh...haven't felt so good today. I've had a terrible headache all day - and even though I've gotten a lot done school wise - I feel like I haven't done jack all day. I might just have to go spoil myself on some coffee. Or maybe I won't have the energy. Dunno...shouldn't have that much caffiene before i go to bed anyways. Great weekend though. Can't wait for next weekend though. Hopefully everything will work out.
September 17 04
God I've been meaning to write more, but I just get distracted or super busy. This week has been super busy, had something to do every night. Anyways, excited about the weekend, but I got a lot to study also - cognitive test in a week and a half. I think I'm going to start a poetry section on here to house all the stuff I've been writing lately. Dunno, just been real creative as of late. I'll probably put it on the orange page, because it's an art thing. Oh well, I gotta get back to reading. A friend said this to me yesterday, and I grin like a mad idiot everytime I think about it: "I liked the cute attitude that kept spinning the skirt." So, thanks, you're super cool.

Something I wrote on the way home from San Marcos: Should Have Known so i watched you do your thing boy i didn't know that you could sing oh yeah, you took control of me oh baby, i couldn't see just who you are shoulda known when you weren't home shoulda known when you had grown far away from me i didn't know what to do i was falling in love with you so i stuck around for a while oh i should have run that mile away from you shoulda known when you weren't home shoulda known when you had grown far away from me shoulda seen through your disguise but i just realize and you took me by surprise you made me fall you made me fall you made me fall for you now someone explain this to me how the hell didn't i see all those signs shoulda known when you weren't home shoulda known when you had grown far away from me shoulda seen through your disguise but i just realize and you took me by surprise you made me fall you made me fall you made me fall shoulda known when you weren't home shoulda known when you had grown far away from me shoulda seen through your disguise but i just realize and you took me by surprise you made me fall you made me fall you made me fall for you
September 13 04
Tired today. Didn't get much done, partially because I'm just unable to concentrate. Hopefully we won't get stats homework tomorrow so I can get some stuff done in my break. But whatever. So I'm feeling this song today: Jay Quinn - I Need Take these walls, The fences I've erected, And tear them down, Let the corner stones fall, And are you sure, Those questions that your asking, Are you set, For the answers I give. It's your turn, To let me in your thoughts, And risk it all, All that's vulnerable, And as I dig, Through all your little secrets, Don't be scared about the things I'll find. Does anyboby know you, Does anybody want you, Does anybody love like I do, Does anybody need you, Does anybody care, I promise I will. I won't judge, I'm not looking for perfection, I am sure, The truth is beautiful, And will you run, Through all that I'm exposing, Will it satisy all your fears. CHORUS I said I've heard it all before, It depends on what side your on, You say I'm outside looking in, But don't think I know how it feels to be forsaken. CHORUS X2 Yea so yea.
September 12 04
Now accepting applications for Erin's newest love interest. Please fill out the survey questionaire and bring it to the psychology building. Pictures are a must. No smoking. Ahhh, for the love of school, I'm too busy for that kind of hassle anyways. I'm feeling very much like this today (grainy and very blah).
September 11 04
Oh my good goodness - an update. I have been so freaking busy with school and running around that I couldn't find time to breath much less work on my website. But here I am back with a vengence. Well, not really lol. Anyways, lots of revalations in my life right now...just trying to sort through everything and not want to kill something in the process. I really wanted to get more studying done today, but I thought my head was going to explode. But fortunately I found out that one of the things I had listed to read was really just the topic of the next lecture and not an actual reading. Whew. Watching A&M vs Wyoming. Good game so far...especially since we are winning. Whoop! Anyways, Lubbock has been treating me good so far - can't complain, it's pretty dry and not too hot. The cold in the morning throws me off all the time. Not that it matters once I get to the psychology building...it's always freezing in the offices so, doesn't matter much. Wrote a song the other day - think I'm going to work on the bass lines for it in a little bit. Other than all that...just working on my brother's b-day present which is going to rock beyond all measure...it's just not even funny. Side note: Some people just need to grow up. But, if you find that it makes you feel better to make fun of me online - then just keep your little 15 old friends reading your journal and go right ahead. Leave everyone else out of it though. You don't need to make fun of people that haven't done anything to you. And I'm done.
August 23 04
So, today was pretty good. I took a nap and everything, which means I won't be able to fall asleep tonight. I don't have much else to do tonight, kind of did everything I wanted to already today. I can't wait for school to start. Then I won't feel so blasted lazy, and I'll have stuff to work on and keep me entertained. Speaking of entertainment, I learned how to play Another one bites the dust today - and it was quite humorous - considering I forgot I had the blinds open. Whoops. So tomorrow starts the barrage of meetings. Yes - lots of them up ahead. I added about 3 more today. Whoopie...at least I'll get out of the apt. And I'll figure out parking tomorrow I guess since I can't illegally park like I did the other day. Which means, I need to go early tomorrow. Lots of tomorrows all in one sentence. I need rest. Erin with a goat. I love the crap I find on my computer.
August 22 04
Dude, so we just got back from the rec - and my stomach is killing me. I did some of those incliced sit ups and man. They are killer. Waiting on my meat to thaw so I can make dinner. I'm excited about next weekend, but I still haven't found a place to stay - and the people that would know are out playing some other shows this week. Doh. Maybe I'll just sleep in my car ;). Tempted not to go, but I already promised, plus it's one of the best opportunities to get to see them before school starts. Actually, I'd like to go to all the shows in this month...all good places - san marcos, austin, dallas - damn. I know I'm going to do the labor day weekend fest. Already have a place to stay for those. But I don't know about the other two weekends - they'd be a lot of fun, but I don't want to be that person who's always gone on weekends and misses all the fun around here. Hmm. I'll wing it I think.
August 21 04
Major uploadage to the dance pictures pages. Only cause, they are the ones that I don't have to scan. To get some of the rest uploaded involves a lot of very boring scanning - I'd rather be taking a nap or something. Good god, so glad to get out of the house last night. I went with Lindsey to law people's dinner and parties. Mad crazy - what a good time. Fun to meet a bunch of Aggies, plus law students are just nuts. That's all. Off to other things.
August 18 04
Sooooooo - today was a slow day. I slept in, worked out, ate lunch, and took a nap. Just kind of been chilling around. Played guitar for a while - till Lindsey got back and now we are talking about her book drama. Wish I could get out of this lazy funk, but it's not going to happen. Got a couple more things on my list to do today - just don't feel like it, but I should get it all done before my meetings and junk start. Speaking of - I am meeting with my prof that I'm the TA for tomorrow. Kind of nervous about it. Gotta brush up on APA format since that's what I'm going to be grading...it's all kind of sketchy in my head now - haven't done it in so long. Oh well, off to get more stuff done on the list.
August 17 04
Just sitting here watching the olympics. Today's been pretty good, got all my posters hung up. My room is way spiffy now. I'm going to take some pictures later and upload them. I have a ton of pictures to scan, but it takes forever on this scanner, so slow updates coming there. I'll have plenty of time since Lindsey won't be distracting me ;). Shoot, I need to email my prof back about what time to meet him. Off to make dinner.
August 16 04
Oh my god! An update. Now living in lubbock, still trying to finish the little bit of unpacking that i have left. I went and dropped off my posters to get laminated so I can hang them on the wall...my room is going to be SOOOOOO cool. Ok that was way geeky. Anyways. I'm doing pretty good here, Linsdey and I are hanging out - and that's been fun. Our cats are crazy. Got my washer/dryer today, that's really going to rock. My new tech id is really dorky, but oh well, really only going to use it to get into the rec. Song of the day, cause it's really hitting home lately: "Maybe It's Me" Ingram Hill On the radio this morning They played our song Thought about the good times And I wonder what went wrong Miscommunication? Cause you had no faith in me Lack of inspiration? Or maybe, maybe it's just me There's life that surrounds me Just can't make my heart fall For beauty endlessly I don't know what I'm feeling It's not right, it can't be I try to find someone to blame But maybe, maybe it's just me Maybe it's just me Maybe you were right to find your way out of my life You found comfort elsewhere while I held on way too tight But I find no reason why I can't be satisfied Perhaps cause I can't have you On the radio this morning They played our song Thought about the good times And I wonder what went wrong Miscommunication? Cause you had no faith in me Lack of inspiration? Or maybe, maybe it's just me Maybe you were right to find your way out of my life You found comfort elsewhere while I held on way too tight But I find no reason why I can't be satisfied Perhaps cause I can't have you Maybe you were right to find your way out of my life You found comfort elsewhere while I held on way too tight But I find no reason why I can't be satisfied Perhaps cause I can't have you What a damn good song.
August 11 04
Will this work day PULEASE hurry the hell up and end. I mean these last two hours have been dragging by. I don't think I've done any real work all day - especially not since lunch. Just been being a post whore on the message boards. Ok, now I really have to save my money because iSOLA just was added to all the blue october dates I had been considering. By god, Labor day weekend WILL rock this year. No laying around recovering from a football game and then going to school on labor day. I will be out and road tripping. Fun stuff. 40 minutes left. I have a bazillion things to do tonight though, since we are getting up tomorrow to move. Ready for the whole trip, but kind of nervous at the same time. Damn, wish I was going to UT now almost. Oh well, take what life throws you. Speaking of: would life throw me one of these: picture of chevelle star bass here cause they are wayyyyy cool. Guess I'm a big fan of the eighties though. Too bad they are about 1700 dollars. Woah.
August 10 04
So, today went by pretty fast. Trying to waste the last hour so I can go home and do nothing lol. All my stuff is packed up - just my guitar and computer are out. It's kind of creepy how empty my room is...Oh, and I need to clean out my car. Been trying to change all the addresses on things. I should change the wells fargo stuff, but I keep forgetting. Mmmm, my cingular check has been cashed but not posted online...that bothers me. Oh well, my apt story from today is way interesting, but I really am tired, so I'm not going to get into it right now. Ahh yes, back to work.
August 9 04
So sleepy all of sudden. Whoops, totally fell asleep on my break just now. Just trying to survive the last hour here today. Then only two more days of mucking through - then I move. Whoo-whoo. It's going to be weird those two weeks off...all that extra time, what in the heck am I going to do with myself. Other than unpack and stuff. I'm excited about that weekend before schools starts and going out to Dallas to see the iSOLA boys play. Too fun. Hope it gets here quick, ready to slide into the groove of school and such again. Not ready to be doing statistics - but I'll survive. I'm excited about my cognitive seminar...but there are only 12 people in the class, so that's a bit nerve wracking...I'm not sure of how the format of everything is going to work. Guess I'll just find out then. Found out that I am going to owe about 500 bucks for tuition and fees after all my scholarships are applied. That's not too bad I guess, but that's after about 2000$ in free money. Hmmp. Oh well guess I should stop messing around and get back to doing nothing at work.
August 6 04
By god it's freezing in here today. Today is one of those good days that even leaving your lunch on the counter at home can't spoil. (Which I did this morning) So, I'm actually excited about this weekend. We are going to my favorite restaurant for my parent's birthdays. However, i have to spend the rest of the weekend repacking all my junk, so we can move next weekend. I bought a spiffy new date book last night, and I'm fixing to enter all my school info into it. I also got some pictures for free at Wal-Mart yesterday. I used that Kodak machine, and I couldn't get the attention of any of the rude people working behind the desk so I took my two pictures and left. The 60 cents it would have been isn't going to kill walmart so...whatever. I really hope my family doesn't want to go to the mall this weekend. If I have to brave that madness, I'd better at least get some free pants out of it. ;)
August 5 04
Happy Bday Dad! So, I love when people post pictures from the weekend and you have no idea when they took that one of you... Just pissing around for the last 15 minutes. I'm pretty much going to have to waste the next hour and a half, because that dinner isn't until 6.30. Wooo. Took Dad to Pappadeaux's for lunch since it's his bday. Then I played hooky some more and ate some of his birthday cake...mmm cake. Didn't I say somebody brings a cake everyday? Anyways, I need to go buy a planner - I got my meeting schedule for school today. Well, all the meetings that I have to go to before school about getting on payroll, being a TA, health insurance, etc etc. I also need to look up when all my classes are...not like there are many to look up. I only have two real ones with "times" - the last one is my research hours with Kate. Fun stuff...kind of scary - you would think with less classes you would have more free time...but then again, I'm also working the "half-time" job that I get paid for. Mmm. Oh well, just ready to get started...finally ordered my parking pass today. Took me long enough. Not really ready to dish out all the money for school/books/bills that I'm about to have to. Already paid off the credit card and cingular bill...ahh the real world...it's crazy like all the dots I keep using... Off to Wal-Mart - hopefully they will have some school planners...what? The regular year runs from jan to dec? I'm sorry, I function from August to May. Focus people.
August 4 04
By god, that girl on the phone was not speaking coherent english. Blah blah blah. Yesterday ended up being a pretty darn good day. It threatened to rain on my parade for a while, but I got over it. I totally burned the bread I was making yesterday. Stupid black cooking sheet...but that's what I get for not paying attention. I'd really like to make my steak recipe again, but who knows where the directions are...I remember most of it, just not how much of all the onions and stuff to put in there. I'm moving to lubbock in 8 days. Kind of nervous. My new roommate is crazy. Love her, but she's nuts. And TWO cats. Oh boy. Hope Bruce doesn't mind. Need to find him a harness so that I can travel with him. Poor cat is going to freak out when we move. Oh well, back to the grind now...no worries I've decided. Oh and check these cute boys out ;)
August 3 04
So, the computer system is down today. And it's great, because I can't do ANYTHING till it comes back up. I'm just sitting here working on my website, getting paid for it and everything. Everybody is just kind of milling around also...I even got a call from the blue cross people about a call I made a while ago, but I couldn't help them this time! Ha, karma's a bitch. Anyways, just hanging out here today...I need to go run or something tonight - I'm getting wayyyyy out of shape.
August 2 04
So I sat down to work on my website, but I couldn't make myself work on it. Goofy me. Too busy responding to emails and being a blue post whore. I'm ready for the next two weeks to come and go. Today went by super fast, maybe the rest of it will. I'm ready to be done at Home Care Supply (with my crazy boss) and ready to get moved and be away again. Cook my own food, have a clean NON CLUTTERED room, etc etc. Man, today was crap though. I had a serious headache, and I didn't get enough sleep from the night before. Stupid ear and the klutz that I am. Sunday was a mess. What a long drive home...I mean I could do that drive with my eyes closed, so I didn't need to concentrate, which let my thoughts wander various other places. Most of which, however, where not good...I turned up my music so loud to sing along, so I wouldn't have to sit and be frustrated/angry about someone spoiling a perfectly good weekend. Ass. That's right. Shoot, I feel like such a bum right now...can't make myself do anything productive. Ok, time to get away from the computer and work on some stuff. OH! My dad bought me a dvd burner today. How freaking awesome is that. I'm about to netflix and burn my way to owning all the seasons of the x-files. Then I'll REALLY never get anything done. LOL.
July 29 04
"Still Broken" Many times, many times I fell in love with you and never showed it Another way, another way, another way hey hey To catch a sunny day yet only molded I'd run a mile, run a mile, run a mile, run a mile I'd run a mile for you, blindfolded And all the words, the words, the words All the words that you ever said to me will always be broken yeah So, so, I Put away, put away, put away hey the words you never said to me And the scar that's open wide You turn away, turn away, turn away, turn away hey hey you turned away from me and never said goodbye And all the words, the words, the words, All the words that you ever promised me, were never spoken And here I am, here I am, here I am, here I am, I'm not afraid of you but still broken Hey yea, hey yea, hey yeah I'm still broken Hey yea, hey yea, hey yeah I'm still broken, broken, broken And if you looked into my dark unhappy eyes You'd see the tears that I'm choking And if you touched, if you touched my heart You'd feel the pain I call hoping And don't you know, don't you know, I die for just a line from you Yea a token And even though I know it could never heal A heart still broken Hey yea, hey yea, hey yeah I'm still broken Hey yea, hey yea, hey yeah I'm still broken, broken, broken She always said I'm still broken I'm still broken I'm still broken She always said I'm still broken And she always said I'm still broken I'm still broken Broken, broken, broken, I'm still broken Uh-huh. That's what I said. Good gravy, I love this song.
July 28 04
Why is when you don't want a week to go fast - it just flies by? I can't seem to make it slow down so that I can get everything sorted out in my head. I really just want to take off this weekend and drive to somewhere where nobody knows me and just chill. It's like murphy's law and some opposite law. If you are having a great time and such - you must have a nasty week to make up for it. Going to see my grandmother today. Love her, but it's just tortue because she's gone stark raving mad. I'm not really excited about hearing the same story for about 4 hours tonight. Woo. Maybe I can work on the shoes. I need to take a picture to upload...just so damn lazy lately.
July 27 04
Ugh, I'm not feeling good today. I didn't sleep well, it was hard to fall asleep. I had one of those dreams - the ones where I can't seem do what I'm trying to do. In this one, I was trying to get ready to to go school and was running behind. I missed the bus, so I was asking my parents to take me. I already 10 minutes late to a test...and I even remember that it was a test in my economics class I had in high school (which were always seriously bad news). I was trying to hurry my dad up, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get him to go...and I totally missed the test. I think that I have these can't-get-anything-done dreams, when I'm really stressed, and I feel like I don't have control of what's going on in my life. Which is very much how I felt last night. All that reminds me of how tired I am people who think they know me and think they can tell me what to do. I almost told off a friend last night because he was going on a one sided story - and telling me how to handle a situation based off of that. Pissed me the hell off - but I was nice and just backed off. I went to bed really frustrated, which is probably why I couldn't sleep.
July 26 04
Good god, where did my weekend go? And how long till friday? :) Do you ever have one of those days where you are sitting in your car listening to some music and some song just hits you really hard? I think I've listened to it like 20 times today - just one of those things where something couldn't better describe what's going on with part of my life right now. Another do you ever have one of those days: where you can't get your mind off something - and the harder you try, the less you can? Just trying to concentrate is a stretch - not that I need to for this job. It's not like it's bad stuff - it's actually great thinking, but damn - I need a distraction. Shit. I did not handle that well. I wish sometimes that life's situations had a reset button like the computer and you could just hit it when you screw up. I'm trying to tell myself that I don't care because I shouldn't care about wanting to be myself and move on, but I hate putting anyone in an akward situation - so I'm doing the best I can here. Shit. Guess I got my distraction. Ugh. I couldn't sleep so I decided to work on my picture pages and watch Crossing Jordan. How did everything go to shit so fast?
July 22 04
So, yesterday was a good day. Today - comme si comme ca. Je deteste le Verizon. They are still trying to screw me over. It's a long process to get them to leave me alone. Anyways, I bought the chronicals of narnia yesterday. (Whoops to not spending money) and good god do I love those books. Had to stop myself from finishing off the first book last night. Fun family time last night. We are watching the Stand - it was weird that everyone was in the same room for more than 2 hours and we didn't kill each other. It's a funny story, cause we started it yesterday and my brother (who is a punk) didn't want to watch it really. Then we watched the 1st episode...and he was GLUED to the tv. He liked it so much that he finished the WHOLE thing the next day. The rest of it was only SIX hours long...lol. And he says I don't know anything about good movies. Pssshhh. Woah. Places need to stop being so freaking cold. I mean it's freezing everywhere I go...brrr today. Brrr.
July 21 04
Whoops...too much blue october board for me.
July 20 04
Sooooo...now it looks like I have to return my phone because it won't really work in nondigital network, which doesn't do me any good when I'm in nowheresville that only has an analog signal. God, I'm ready to go home. I'm tired of being on hold and have some errands to run. Should have done them yesterday, but whatever. My burn from the copier still really hurts - that's no good. Blah...not feeling as good today...I think I'm getting sick...I've been inhaling water all day so that I don't...hope it works...lots of dots... My dad is going to an Astro's game tonight, which means I'm getting pizza that I want darn it. I've been craving the Papa Johns...so much for being skinny. ;) Bought Buddy Holly's greatest hits cd yesterday...and I um...love it! Shouldn't have spent the money, but whatever. I saw my credit card bill yesterday and :O it's unpleasant. Sooooo...no more spendin' except for my road trips. Speaking of which, hot damn I'm excited.
July 19 04
Whew - I'm on hold with Cingular, trying to change my number to a Lubbock number so I don't have to change it again and tell everyone again in a month. FINALLY. I'm just trying to change my number folks. It's not brain surgery. I've been on hold ALL morning this morning. I finally had to hang up on BC because I had to use the bathroom so bad, and I had already been on hold for like 30 minutes. I still haven't even taken a break this morning. Oh boy, can't even change it yet. Rolling eyes here. Anyways, it's lunchtime, but I'm on hold again. Man, my life sound boring on here...this really should be titled my "Work Journal, Where Erin Bitches About Blue Cross". Sounds better than Bridget Jones.
July 15 04
Holy bananas - I had to escape the message boards. I can't keep up and it was giving me a headache. Anyways, just being on hold some more. Wheee! Actually I don't mind so much, cause it makes the day go by faster. I'm getting tired...thank god only about 2 hours left today. But then I gotta deal with all the freaking traffic getting home. Doh! The was a truck with a blown tire in the narrow lane section yesterday. Instant traffic jam and very much frustrated. Turned up the music and sang my way home. Oh and we are having pizza again tonight I'm sure...it's whatever my brother wants. Roll eyes here. Since when wouldn't that be pizza? Goodness, I'm ready for a couple weeks from now. Got to get out of this town. GAHHH!! You should have transfered me to the right place the first time! Sigh. This is the story of my life. I need to get out more.
June 14 04
Things i have done today: post on the blue board post on the isola board sat on hold with blue cross thought about pizza - that's what's for dinner seriously, that's all I've done today. I get to leave in 20 minutes! Wooooohoooo. I should save up the minutes for Friday, but shit I'm ready to go home. Over and out.
July 13 04
Grrr. I'm tired of Blue Cross. I've been posting like a mad fool on the boards today. I'mve been on hold so much it sucks. I have also made a map with all kinds of stars today. That's how my day has been. Anyways, I just called my mom and begged to go to Mazzio's today. DOH! She just called me back and said it's a no go tonight cause my dad is indeed coming home. Tomorrow she says. Drat, back to work.
July 12 04
Hot damn, I'm so tired today. I even went to bed at like 10pm last night. I'm just struggling to stay awake here at work, especially with all of the hold music from BC. We saw the blue cross building in Houston, and I jokingly asked the people in the car with me to blow it up. ;) The weekend was pretty good - some really good stuff and some really bad stuff. That's all I should probably say. Oh, but I did buy myself not one, but 2 orange watches. I love'em. When I head back through Houston again my brother has asked that I get him one like my slap bracelet one. I just have to laugh that he likes those so much. I remember the huge ruckus over them and when they got banned from school.
Man was I sick yesterday. I didn't have a headache or anything, just a stabbing pain in my side. I was pretty much useless - I slept and watched tv all day, cause I got home from the trip early. I thought about staying for a+, but I wouldn't have made it home if I had done that. And that wouldn't be very good now would it?
July 9 04
So, today has been pretty spiffy. We had lunch at Rio Rita's across the street and it was very good mexican food. I'm ready to leave for my trip but I'm waiting the last like 15 minutes of work. Actually, I'm just piddling around cause I don't want to work anymore. Lol. I'm not excited about the drive, but I am excited about the trip. Wish my exxon card had come in so I could use it. Grr.
July 8 04
I have spent all day being confused. What the heck day is it? I'm leaving tomorrow? What?! Help! Calendar to the rescue!
July 7 04
This morning is going slow! I thought it was 10:45, and I was totally reading my watch wrong...what a dork. It was only 9:45. oops. Finally gave Cass her birthday present yesterday - and yea! She liked it. But who wouldn't love an orange frame and scrapbooking stuff (since she's the only one I know who can keep up with it lol). I love Crossing Jordan. It's just a fabulous show. Am now addicted. Plus it has the cute guy from Sliders on there. Dillion McDermott (doh! I just remembered that it's totally Jerry O'Connell - they look kind of the same), I think is his name.
EEEEKK! I just sliced open my finger on a BC claim...it's their way of getting back at me. Ugh. It hurts. Blah. That's not a good indicator of how my day is going. Oh - and screw the people who say I don't have much on my site. Dorks! ;)
July 6 04
Back home and sitting at work waiting on my dad. Grr...I have a horrendous headache. I need to go to the bank tonight, cause I have a check! Whoo whoo! Yeah for money. Working on updating these pages to reflect the month change...only about a month and a week till I move to Lubbock...it's weird to admit that I'm excited about moving there. We were all discussing the Friday trip to the mexican place down the road...mmm sounds so good. Now I'm starving for dinner. Damn. Time to leave!
June 29 04
Today is like Friday! Wheee! We are leaving at the butt crack of dawn tomorrow morning, so hopefully by tomorrow afternoon I will be lying on the beach with out a care in the world. That's going to rock. However, I am not getting to bring my bass, so that's going to suck. I've been doing pretty good, and I remembered where that book is, so I'll have to get it next time I'm going to houston. oops, I talked about this yesterday. Doh! I'm losing it. Just sent a check to Lindsey so that she can buy the tickets to the College Station Blue show...I'm super excited. And I miss my kitty!

"We are currently experiencing high call volumes at this time - your call is very important to us, if your patient has coverage with another aggie-erin provider, please hang up and never call again. If not, please continue to hold."
This is what i go through ever day for about 7 hours a day (cause they don't open till 9am. I went to the mall today to find me a bass learn how book (cause I really want someone to explain all these terms people use...been guessing so far). But I couldn't find one at all. Arg. I did find a magazine that I wanted. I found this really cool book that I wanted a long time ago and for the life of me I couldn't remember where I had seen it. Ha! I thought I was losing my mind and that I had dreamed looking at this book with my dad. But mom and I finally remembered at lunch that we had looked at books at the Deerbrook mall in Houston, but that was a while ago - like before graduation. Speaking of graduation, look at my diploma. I rock.
June 25 04
So today sucked. I'm really tired, and I have the headache from hell. It's been pounding all day...and all the excedrin I've taken hasn't helped much. I bought a 3 musketeers to make myself feel better and it was so good.
Anyways, it's been a really long Friday, and I'm very much ready to go home. Pretty much everyone here is gone, but I'm just waiting on my dad. We went to Olive Garden for lunch and that was really good. Blue Cross has been very uncooperative with me today. Ugh. I tried to listen to my headphones, but my head was hurting too much. Grrr. And then my ipod cover doesn't come in till Monday. I think I'm just going to lay in bed all weekend.
June 24 04
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASS!
I had a funny story to tell earlier, but I forgot it, so I don't have much to say today, except that I'm having a very good looking day. Too bad the sky opened up and dropped about a foot of rain on us today. Grrr.
June 23 04
Oh my good god. This hold music is torture. I think I'm going to give up on the random image generator. It's not worth all the hassle that I've been doing to get it to work. I think I'd rather just create an image to go in that spot on the orange page - this random stuff is a PITA. I would rather spend the time figuring how to make a guestbook type page that I can type my entries for here into, so I don't have to upload this page every night. Well, the first part of this day went by fast - now it's just dragging by. I'm counting down till I can go on break again - so that's pretty sad. I think I called 4 different phone numbers for bcbs of Michigan. Ugh. I just to go home and play my guitar. I played for like 2 hours, pretty much till my arms/back started hurting from the position I was sitting in. And I'm on hold again.
June 22 04
So, I'm starving. I love being on hold with Blue Cross, then I get work on my web stuff. I'm trying to get the pictures page up and going - but I need a list of pictures first...so right now it's one of those "under construction things". I'm trying to decide if I want to put a note on each page when I update them - or just put a list on here. I think I might just list it here...but I'm not sure what would look best. Definitely a Phillip question - he's good at the aesthic stuff. Not that I can get him to respond to emails ;). I broke my bass cable. :( Actually, I think it's just a crappy cable, and it didn't like to bend, so the connection shorted out. I found a really cool line to learn last night, but I couldn't hear if I was getting the note lengths right cause the cable kept cutting in and out - so I gave up. Yes! I have a new cable - just got back from lunch and buying it. Fun stuff.
June 21 04
It's Monday again. Oh boy, don't you know I'm excited to be on hold. Anyways, today's feature is my "I can't stand it when list:" So here you go: I Can't Stand It When: People tap me on the shoulder People try to talk to me when I've got my headphones on - just to tell me some stupid story. People talk really, really loud in a conference room that echoes. Extra evil points if you have a loud high pitched laugh. When random strangers talk to you on the elevator - especially when it is the creepy engineering guys from upstairs. I'm sure there will be more later. I guess I'm in one of those irritable moods today. But the day has flown by so far. I mean I looked up and it was lunch time. Hope the rest of the day goes that fast. I think we are going back to Lake Charles tonight to visit my grandmother again. She is doing so much better - it's just amazing. (So, is it wrong of me not to want to go?) I just want to chill at home tonight...not run around and spend HOURS at the hospital where nobody is talking to me anyways. Sigh. No L&O for me it seems. :|
June 18 04
Oh man, lunch made me incredibly sleepy. It is so cold in here that my Aggie ring isn't fitting well and keeps sliding around on my hand. Grr. I brought a sweater today though. I got my two posters that I made for the BO girl printed. They look good. I wish they had had heavier paper though. Grr. She said that you could laminate them to make the tougher, but I don't know what she's going to do with it, so no biggie. What I wouldn't give to have that copy corner here in town. Ok off to continue with these federal accounts.
June 17 04
Gosh, I'm so tired today. I just feel the weight of everything on my heart, and it is just wearing me out. My poor granny in the hospital - she doesn't look too well. I mean in my head I know it's the drugs, but it's still hard. I am excited about not having anything to do tonight. I'm going to sit and play for a while - which I haven't gotten to do in a while because of being so busy. Plus I'm actually going to get some of these pages I've been editing uploaded. I need to call office depot and see if they print poster stuff because I wasn't terribly happy with Office Max's service and the fact that they didn't have that thicker paper. Duh.
June 16 04
It is so damn cold in this office! I'm freezing, and the only reason it is so cold is because it is raining outside. For some reason they really crank it up when it's raining. Cass and I had a blast last night. We went to crazy jose's, which is this little mexican place in orange. It was pretty good - but they never told us what to do with the check so we were sitting there forever before the waiter was like "oh, they do that at the front." D'oh! Then we went to big lots for the frames, but didn't really find any. So, Wal-Mart it was. I found two frames - one for my diploma and one for my Mirabilia cross stitch. Now all I have to do is get some mats. I also bought Lord of the Rings ;). Got my credit card bill today - and I really should stop spending money. :|
June 15 04
Whew, I've forgotten to write the last couple of days. I've been so swamped at work - not on hold like I normally am. Plus I was just too lazy to type this weekend. I was working hard on being lazy. Anyways, Cass and I are going to go out to eat today - and then go to Big Lots. YES. I love the big lots. I am going to look for some frames so I can do some framing of my diploma and other stuff. I need to get to measuring that stuff. I think I'm going to mat my diploma with black and maroon - which is going to look very spiffy.
June 12 04
Man what a day. I spent about 3 hours today cleaning (I mean spit shining) my car. It was so hot outside, I'm lucky I didn't fry. I got a little pink on my face, cause I think I wiped the sunscreen off. Ugh - rest of day went really well, but right now I'm about to scream. I hate Photoshop. What an unintuitive program. I mean - I'm pretty good with that kind of stuff, and it took me forever just to figure out how to cut and paste into a new document. What a pita - everyone goes bonkers telling me how wonderful it is - well shove it up your butt. But my hair looks cute in pigtails! I'm tired of working my website tonight, and I didn't even get anything done cause I started out with trying to do this background - which means I'm never going to get anywhere with it. Ugh. Feeling very frustrated right now, I don't really want to talk to anybody right now. Grr.
June 11 04
Dude, major TGIF. Today has flown by, which is very good news. My parents and I went to Novrosky's for lunch today, it was really good. I convinced them to go to Mazzio's tonight. I was like "what's for dinner?" Dad said "we'll take mom somewhere so she doesn't thave to cook". Yes! I love Mazzio's calzone rings, and I never get to have them becuase there isn't a Mazzio's anywhere close to College Station. Oh boy blue cross issues. I have saved the day though - I essentially found this huge box of checks that were just floating around. Rock! I am itching like mad crazy today. I got bitten by something like 30 times last night hanging around the pool. Ugh. It sucks. I got some of the posters page up, which is my favorite part of the site. I am going to make a poster for one of the girls on the BO board cause she is letting me use some ofher pics. I'm excited about it. Man this day has flown...I think I might be starting to enjoy this job :O scary stuff.
June 10 04
I chopped my hair off today! Whoo it is short - but I really like it. I will like it more when I can fix it myself and not let it air dry - flips funny when I do that. Harry Potter was really good last night! I was surprised that I liked it so much. It was really good. My mom was a little disappointed that they left so much outta the books, but since I haven't read them, didn't bother me much. I think I will finally break down and read them, I have heard nothing but rave reviews. I've been working on the art pages - and I think that I've gotten them to be pretty cool. Just gotta get all those pictures uploaded. Yea! It is almost time to go home! And I got paid today! Yea!that.
June 9 04
Well yesterday was a great day! I got so much stuff done it was unbelievable. I mean I went to the bank and everything. I worked on the Orange page stuff, but I'm about to change all that stuff again because I thought of a better way to do it all. I got to work on some wire flowers - which is my newest craft adventure. I've always wanted to try them, but I can't just jump into it...I needed a kick start. Phillip's mom does them so I took some pictures of them while I was at his house - so now I at least have a reference. Learned how to play the c major scale. It was fun. I've gotten pretty good at it. ;) I took some cool pictures of my guitar and craft stuff last night with my mom's spiffy camera. I need to figure out what is up with my camera - it does this weird pink color on half the picture and takes the bottom half of the picture and moves it to the left. Weird. Too bad I won't get jack done tonight. Mom is coming to beaumont - then the whole family is going out to eat and go see Harry Potter (dude my whole family is crazy scary into that stuff :|) So that means we'll get home pretty late - for having to go to work the next day. Ugh. We are SUPPOSED to be on our way to Florida right now. Damn work and all that other stuff canceling our vacation. Who knows when we are going to go now. I need a week to lay on the beach - that'll be super nice to get away and soak up the sun and not think about anything or one.
June 8 04
Yesterday was quite the day. We didn't get home till like 9:30, and being out all day like that just wiped me out. I barely got to do anything last night, which was frustrating - especially since I had grand plans to get so much done. Guess I'll just have to do it today. I think I'm going to go get my hair cut (read trimmed) and take my check to the bank for night deposit. So I get to register for grad school today. That is, if tech ever sends me my pin number so I can log on and do it. I'm kind of nervous about it. Hey! They sent me the number. Guess I'll register during my next hold time with blue cross. Maybe then I'll get the real amount of money that it's going to cost me...ha! I'm excited about switching phone services. Verizon doesn't work for shit out here. Ineed to call those clown dogs and ask them when my service comes up. I think I'm going to go with a Sprint plan, which means I need to spend a good afternoon sometime soon looking into their plans. I would like to get a camera phone, but I don't know that it would be worth it. Plus I would have to make Phillip upgrade since he is the only one I would send pictures to. Praise god it's almost lunch time. Side note: I hate when you are on hold and you have to pee.
June 7 04
Oh my gosh what a day. I am on hold with bcbs of illinios and they are making me batty with their stupid hold music. I decided that this down time was a good time to work on my webpage. I want to work on the art section tonight when I'm at home and can upload the pictures for it. What a grand weekend. The concert was amazing. Like just wonderful. I have 18th floor balcony stuck in my head - which is not a bad song to have stuck in your head, but oh man I almost cried during it at the show. It was just so beautiful. I'm usually not one of those people either. I probably sound like such a loon. Anyways, I LOVE my guitar. I've been working on some simple bass lines from activebass.com and needless to say, I don't think I would ever get anything else done if I didn't make myself. It's just too much fun to play. Scott and Shea's wedding this weekend was albsolutely beautiful. The chapel was decorated very nice, and Shea looked just brilliant. It was fun to see them get married and talk to them at the reception. Especially since I've listened to all the wedding planning stories this past year. I remember sitting with them in a Barnes and Noble when Shea bought her wedding planning book, and she was talking about how the wedding was only a year away. Man how time flies. Good god! Someone from one of the other offices just called and asked for Kirstin (who's desk i'm working at till she gets back from maternity leave). She was probably the rudest lady I've ever dealt with on the phone. She was damn grumpy that I couldn't do the thing she wanted for her - and as I was trying to transfer her, she got all huffy and hung up. Ugh. Give me a freaking break. My job is to harrass BC not put up with the branch's crap. And phooey is my dad in a bad mood. I can understand why though. Enough. Day over.
