okay guys, I'm not exactly coming back to lj or anything - heh, okay, ya'll probably already figured that out. But I'm so excited about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that I'm literally making myself sick. Every time I realize that I'll have the book in my hands in less than 36 hours my stomach cramps with anxiety. I'm must admit that while I'm horribly excited in the way that I can only recall being when I was a kid waiting for Christmas, I'm also really sad. I can't believe that it will be over! I can hardly imagine ever reading another series that will give me as much entertainment as this series did. Reading them has really made me feel like a kid again, and I'll miss that.
And what's worse, JKR will probably pair all the characters off and ruin all of my ships. *prays for Neville's safety and bachelorhood* Initially I had ideas of reading just a chapter a night to draw it out, but I guess I'd better be realistic. It just isn't going to happen. I'll probably be finished by Sunday. And then I'll know- the one question that has haunted me since I read HBP. Is Snape evil or not? Argggh. Oh, the suspense may be fatal. Anyway, I don't know if anyone will actually read this, but I just had to get it out. As a diversionary tactic I'm planning to clean like a mad woman and get this house spotless so I won't sit around biting my nails all day tomorrow. :) I know Dea is into Harry Potter, but is anyone else who might be reading this into it? |

Okay, I'm in a lj mood, and even though I don't make any promises.... I might stick around for a while. But since I have been gone for a long time, some of you might be wondering what I've been up to. (I, too, am curious about what you guys have been doing, and am in the process of reading your journals. However, if something has happened that's so incredibly important that I must know NOW please do tell!)
School: Well, I started at the Uni of Texas in the spring, and have been there since. In a word, I dislike it. It's just.... eh, not so much fun. But by God, I'm nearly there! Only 2 more years and I never want to go to school again. blech. I'll probably change my tune once I actually have to make a living, but for now I'm so sick of school I could scream.
Births: Uh... my hairdresser and my best friend had babies. That means I can hardly ever get an appointment to get my hair cut, and I haven't seen my friend in months. *sigh* they're so selfish, aren't they?
Deaths: My aunt with the cancer died nearly a year ago, but I don't think I mentioned it. :( Also, my wonderful fish Scottie died after three years of happiness together. :( I overcompensated after his death and bought 2 more beta fish, Chili Pepper Pickle and Finnigan Spock Pickle (daddy named the spock part, not me). I might take some pictures
Relatives: My parents are great, but my bro is troublesome. He failed mortuary school, so he was lounging around at home, basically doing nothing for about 6 months, supposedly looking for a job. He FINALLY got a job as a cashier at a Burlington Coat Factory, so.... *shrug* We'll see. But we were all pretty mad at him for a while. My Grandmother had a little scare earlier this year. She had a small stroke and was in the hospital for a little over a week, but she's out and seems to be doing pretty well. My Aunt, (the crazy one) also had a scare, but she's okay now. Not currently crazy, thank goodness. And my Uncle has been more or less MIA since my aunt died a year ago, which is weird since we were always really close.
Lost: My mind. heh heh, not really. It only seems like it sometimes. Okay, losses: my time, my money, my diamond earrings, my will to stick to a diet.
Found: A few extra pounds, the bottom of my car and room.
Current fads: Project Runway, mosaics, sculpture, children's literature, nutella, youtube, 16 Horsepower, Andrew Bird, Squirrel Nut Zippers - just swing and jazz in general.
Current peeves: bodily noises, my brother, educational psychology, cough medicine.
Okay, out of time now, plus I basically have nothing interesting to say, so it would just be more boring rambling. |

I've been commenting in Dea's journal all night, and it has inspired me to update my journal. I don't have anything much to say, but I'm having some rage issues that could use some airing out.
I have a little... er, peeve, I guess would be the right word. I really don't like to hear bodily noises, especially repeated ones. When I was in high school, around cold season, it seemed like every single kid in class was sniffing snot repeatedly without even realizing that such a thing as Kleenexes had ever been invented. I really can't explain how much this bothered me. It disgusted me, and distracted me, and I had truly violent thoughts towards these cretins, usually involving noses and chainsaws.
Upon getting to college I was relieved to find that most people took personal hygiene more seriously, and the snot sniffing issue was not as bad. However... more of these people smoke, and so... there is the cough. Now, a few coughs are fine. It is understandable. You have a cold, you have to cough... a little. But if you are so wheezy and germ infested and clogged with smoke YOU SHOULD NOT FUCKING BE IN CLASS! YOU WILL INFECT EVERYONE ELSE YOU INCONSIDERATE, MISERABLE EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING!!! There is this woman who sits behind me in my American art class who coughs horrible, phlegmy, uncovered coughs every few seconds non-stop for three bloody hours. Right onto me. I can actually smell her smokey breath over my shoulder. I probably have phlegm on the back of my shirt after every class. I got sick with some sort of cold virus last week, and am still sick, and I BLAME IT ON THAT BITCH! Believe me, I would move, but there aren't any other seats available. This coughing actually makes me so mad that all I can do is clench my pencil in my hand and daydream about stabbing her in the throat. Then she'd cough....
Ha ha, okay, rant over. Maybe that will make me feel better and I won't have to stab someone and go to jail. |

Hi all! Okay, update time. I have decided that sexibtch is the username for me, since it describes me so well. :D I've officially relocated and I've friended you all. I haven't got all settled in yet, but I'm working on it. This will be my last post in here. Ahh... well, nevermind, I'm not sad. The only thing I'm taking from this journal is my John Kerry/George Bush fic, which I love, for some odd reason. Anyway, see you all there!

wow! for some reason all of the sudden I'm in a livejournal mood again. I used to hate it, but now I want to do things in it again! Wheee! I think it's because school is finally over (sets up shrine to the gods of summer and chants blissfully). Well, maybe it isn't so weird. I think I go through phases. You may not hear a peep from me for a year after this. Anyway, I've decided to set up a new journal - I like to start fresh every now and then, you know - and I want all of your input! Right now I have two unused lj names. pepperminx and sexibtch, but I might use something else. Anyone have any fun username suggestions that fit me? :D
Also, I'd like all who want to remain on my friend's list to reply to this post. I know I've fallen out of touch with some of you, or never got around to establishing a relationship with some of the newcomers on my f-lists, so I'll understand if you don't want me anymore. *sniff* ha ha, jk. It's okay, sometimes you just don't click with poeple. Some of you don't have a choice though (Marianna, Rachel, Dea); I'll friend you whether you like it or not. :) |

well... *slinks back* I've come to despise this thing. I'm just to blooming busy for it! but since some big things have happened in my life recently, I'll give you all a little update. writing things out is supposed to be therapeutic or something... *grumbles*
Well, it was Spring break last week, and at the risk of sounding selfish and melodramatic... it SUCKED! The worst worst worst spring break of my life. It all began....
...well enough, I suppose. We went to my aunt's house to visit her, and also to visit one of the colleges I'm thinking about transferring to (more on that later). Once there my aunt broke the news to us. She's been fighting cancer for about 4 years, and it's finally to the point that she's about out of options. She's tried all the treatments they offer, and nothing has worked. Her cancer is back, it's spread throughout her body (including her lungs and insider her bones, I believe) and she also has tumors. We're not really expecting her to live out the year, and probably not even the summer. Up to this point I honestly haven't had anyone I was close to die, and I don't even know how I'll handle it. My grandfather died when I was a little girl, and I dearly loved him, but I was so young then... I just can't compare the situations. And of all my aunts, it HAD to be this one! She's the only aunt I even like. I adore the woman, actually. To tell the absolute truth, I'm about as comfortable with death as one can reasonably expect to be... One of the benefits of being a Christian is that you believe in Heaven, and there is no doubt in my mind that she's going there, if there is such a place. The real problem here is that my faith is not as strong as it once was. Actually, if I ever allow myself to think about anything I realize I don't actually believe it, but I'm scared to not believe. (Ah, spiritual dilemmas...)
Fast forward a few days... On Wednesday night I talked to a good friend of mine from college. She told me that she couldn't talk for long because she had to go somewhere, but she just wanted to say hi. It was 11 something, and her obituary said that she died on Wednesday, so it must have been very shortly after that (presumably on the way to wherever she was going) she got in a car wreck and died. I'm still trying to grasp the concept that she's gone. I mean, she had such an... over powering personality that it's hard to believe that anything could stop her. She really was special. I'm not the most outgoing person, and I don't automatically make friends, but within the first day of meeting her she immediately befriended me. She was the best college friend I've ever made, and now, gone. It's just crazy! I talked to her and minutes later she's gone. It's possible that I could have been the last person she talked to. Ooooo, and I was busy, so I just blew her off a little bit. I wish I hadn't. I wish I'd made more of an effort to see her more often. She worked a lot so it was hard to get together, but I could have done it. Well, I guess this will teach me not to wait too late to get together with friends. I talked to her mother last night, and she wants to meet me (I never met her family). I'm going to the funeral tomorrow (by myself! no one could go with me) so I guess I'll introduce myself then. I don't know what to say. I can't imagine losing a child. What could be worse? Jennifer had an identical twin sister, and every time her mother looks at her, she'll think of Jennifer. I want to help, but there's nothing I can do.
Newspaper article and obituary under the cut, if you're interested... ( Read more... )
I know the next bit pales in comparison, but it is a part of my life all the same, and though I feel guilty for stressing out about it so much when there are more serious things going on, I can't help it. That would be... college. I want to go to Sam Houston, my dad wants me to go to a college closer to home so that I can live at home instead of on campus. Arriving at a compromise hasn't been that easy. I have decided on a major, at least. Art. I shall be an Art teacher is all goes well. We'll just see, I suppose.
Also, Algebra is killllllling me! I hate it!!!! And.... I can't really think of anything else that's new. The end |

[Jan. 21st, 2005|10:48 pm] |
Well, Marianna, my lovely friend, is getting onto me about not posting, so I guess I better...
Hmm.... except I have nothing to say, really. College began again, and I'm finally taking some classes that have something to do with my major. However, I still have to take the boring, tedious, USELESS crap like Algebra. I'll be fine, though, because I'm taking an Art History class. I swear, I was so happy to be there that I nearly cried when we started talking about the Hellenistic Greek period.... *sniff sniff* joy, joy, joy. Oh, and don't forget the ancient Egyptian art. *tremble* This is what makes art a glorious thing for me! I'm good in the studio art department, but this is what I love... I'd love it if I could get some sort of job that involved art history.. maybe I could work at a museum!
Okay, did anyone watch the inauguration? I tuned in for a bit (know they enemy, heh). Actually, I was watching because the college I go to have these... cheerleader/dancy/twirly type girls called the Rangerettes, and they were asked to participate in the parade. I was hoping I'd catch a glimpse of them, but I didn't. I did watch the protest on cspan 2, though! interesting, but futile. Unfortunately he's here for another 4 years.... which is depressing. Think of the damage he's done already! Oh, and I have a friend in Iraq, too. I haven't heard from him in a long time... Oh well. At the risk of sounding unpatriotic, thank goodness I'm a girl so I won't ever have to go over there. How horrible to be a guy!
PS: I pine for this: http://www.trocadero.com/HDENTERPRISES/items/347999/item347999artigua.html
I need to marry a rich man who can give me a museum... Ahh... the art I'd fill it with if I had the funds... oh well, the next best thing is working in a museum, right? I need to find out what kind of jobs they have, because it would sure beat being a teacher! but then again I don't want to live in a city... hmm.. well, we'll see |

hoooooo-ray! the semester is finally OVER! Oh, sigh. I'm so happy... I'm a bit disappointed with my grades, though (or at least those I know). I got an 88 in biology, which is always frustrating. And I'm afraid I *might* have gotten another B (or, hell, maybe a C for all I know). Oh well, whatever. it's all over now. I wasn't as good a student as I usually am this semester. I usually do my best to have at least a 95 in all my classes, so that the exam basically won't matter (Because I really don't study for exams very much...okay, at all, usually). But I think in nearly all of my classes I was hovering in the low 90's. So, we'll see. I think we get our grades in a week or so... So now I have blessed Christmas holiday! OMG, I'm still getting over it. When I was walking back to my car, I just started laughing/sobbing hysterically. It was kinda funny... well, kinda sad, really. I was just so happy. I still am. I was soooo ready for this semester to be over. It had me quite stressed.
So, anyway... now I don't know what to do. I should write a list of everything I want to do. Okay, here goes.
1. Read HP and the order of the phoenix again
2. finish my paintings and put them on ebay (wish I had gotten them out before x-mas! damn)
3. Uhh....think of a more complete list |

has Finding Neverland come out yet? If it has, then it hasn't come to any of my theaters, which is strange, considering the fact that it's been pretty well advertised and all -we get most of the big ones-. It seems like every critic/public figure/Oprah viewer has seen it, but I HAVEN'T!
Also, I have a picture of my little baby bunnies. They're only 4 days old, so they sorta look like rats, but I still adore them! (ignore the nasty, hole-ridden towel) |

my cat is lying on my arm--like, just draped over it-- and he's a big old boy. I can just barely twitch my fingers enough on the right side to click the mouse, and I'm having to pick out all the keys of this update with my left hand (very laborious and time consuming). My right is getting numb, but I'm not going to move it. Why, you petless readers, may ask? Well, those of my friends with beloved animals will understand-- We owners go to great (and at times silly) lengths to please our pets. Thinking about it, I just have to laugh at all the things I'm willing to do for my dear kiity-boy. And so I started wondering what other folks did for their pets, so... The question for the masses is this: what sort of pets do you have, and what little discomforts/sacrifices do you make for the sake of your pets? (confess!) Or what kind of exotic treats do you offer them on golden platters? My point is, we're just silly about our pets (not that we don't enjoy every minute of it, mind you). |

you know, it really pisses me off the way some people gripe and whine and bitch and complain to no end about such inconsequential things when other people have real problems. There are children starving to death in 3rd world countries fer gawd's sake, and you're crying your eyes out because you're boyfriend won't do this or that. SPARE ME! I mean, it's not that I'm not sympathetic. Undoubtedly you think you're world is ending. But IT ISN'T!! And half the time it's your own fault for not asserting a little independence and working to make yourself happy.
I mean, I know that even I fall prey to the demon self pity, everyone does, but I *do not* go to the extremes the way some losers do. Think of the family that loses a child then next time your boyfriend says something mean, and try to tell me that everything is so horrible. Think of the death and true suffering in the world before you go crying on my shoulder and expect me to pore out my sympathy to you. Now if it's an isolated incident where you are just depressed, and you can't think anything over rationally, I understand. But when it's ALL THE DAMN TIME, OMG!
And so, that was my rant. I just wish that people would think about others more instead of themselves all the time. Not to sound self congratulatory or anything, but whenever something has me depressed, I try to think of all the things I have to be thankful for instead of my "woes," and this helps me appreciate my life so much more. I wish they would do the same. The End.
Btw, lest you think I'm talking about any of you, don't worry (thou paranoid person) it's no one on my friends list. |

Gah, she's so gorgeous and regal and I wouldn't mind being stuck on an abandoned island with her.... well, you get the picture. So, I thought I would look her up on google and get a picture so that I could make an icon. Upon reading about her, I discovered that she was a LESBIAN! I must have "gaydar," as my shameless guy friend calls it. lmao. I also discovered that she posed for playboy. hmm.... lmao. I'm not normally a fan of porn, but this is Ami!!! *delicate cough* some noble person obtained a copy of the issue and scanned all the pictures onto the internet (bless their hearts), but it probably wouldn't be polite to give ya'll a link to that! |

Well, as expected Bush the Bastard has won. *sigh* Such is life, I suppose. Now, this didn't come as any surprise to me as I was convinced he would, but it was still horrible. On the way home from school I found a radio station with the speech Kerry was giving, and I just sobbed. It was pathetic.
In other, more amusing news, I was walking out to the rabbit barn to feed the rabbits, and I felt something on my thigh. I reached down and I felt a little bump beneath my jeans. Well, I figured it was a bug, so I squished in. So, here I am, standing with my fingers pinching my blue jeans, a horrified look on my face. And then it occurred to me. What if it had been a spider? So I start shrieking and tearing my pants off. It turns out that it *was* a spider. a HUGE one! We're talking about those horrible monsters whose main bodies are bigger than pennies. a HUGE SPIDER IN MY PANTS! I was still squawking and having fits when my NEIGHBOR comes over, thinking that I needed help because I was screaming. So, here I am, stamping around on my pants in my underwear, and there is my neighbor. He must have thought I was absolutely insane. But it was a horrible experience. I for one want to know HOW he got in my pants, how LONG he had been there, and WHY HE PICKED MY PANTS OF ALL THE PANTS IN THE WORLD TO GET INTO!!!! Actually... I think I know. You see, for some reason those huge spiders seem to really love our backyard. So far this year I've killed 4 spiders out at the rabbit barn, and two on the porch. HOWEVER, the last one I tried to kill, on Monday, got away before I could kill it. I think it must have been a relative of the other spiders (or maybe just pissed at attempted murder) and came after me for revenge. Oh well, I had the last laugh --kinda. I killed him and he didn't bite me. |

I just read the play "Proof" by David Auburn. It was so wonderful and moving that I there were tears in my eyes by the second page. If you have a chance to, check this out, because I really loved it.
And speaking of plays, I'm going to go see "The Last of the Red-hot lovers" sometime this week. :D *gleeful laugh* I'm so happy! I just love plays. Seeing them, reading them, whatever. In fact, I think I like reading plays more than I do any other sort of literature. What about you folks? Biographies, poetry, epics, short stories... what's your poison? |

Since there is basically no way in hell (and even then I have my doubts as I'm sure Satan is a Republican) that Kerry will ever win Texas, I think I'll amuse myself and vote for Nader. His opinions coincide with mine much more than Kerry's do. Now, mind you, if I was in a state that actually counted, I would vote for Kerry, but since I'm not... helloooo Nader. |

Okay, apparently not too long ago, there was a race of human(ish)s that grew no taller than 3 feet tall! They hunted pygmy elephants, kimono dragons, and giant rodents! *does dance* lovely, lovely, lovely! Read the article, it's verrrry interesting.

Okay, I went and saw The Grudge tonight, and it scared the shit out of me! Maybe I'm just out of practice (I haven't seen a scary movie in a long time), but it totally freaked me out. And I had my eyes closed through most of it, lol. Okay, okay, I'm a chicken. If I'd actually just watched, it probably wouldn't have been that bad. But anyway. I called home and made my mom turn on all the outside lights for me. :D But it was pretty torturous, so I don't really recommend it. Unless you like to be painfully abused by a movie. |

Not sure yet. They had this http://www.oldnavy.com/asp/Product.asp?wdid=20070&wpid=264045 drool worthy green pea coat that I was tempted to get, but I just couldn't force myself to pay so much when I already have so many jackets as it is.

hmmm... I wonder what I shall do this Halloween!? (*snort, snicker* as if there was any question...) Okay, I will do what I always do because I'm pathetic and have no friends...
I will:
* Watch Sleepy Hollow (tradition, folks!)
* Wait anxiously by the door in the vain hopes that a few kids will pass by and I can give them candy. Although not many do. *sigh*
* Attempt to not eat the candy, fail miserably, and gain 10 pounds all in one destructive night. I'd give my left arm for a halloween cookie... *sob*
* I might rent a scary movie, but they aren't ever very fun to watch by yourself.
* Oh, hey. It's on Sunday night, isn't it? I might do some studying too...
Anyway, that's my Halloween night at a glance. I might buy a costume and dress up just for the fun of it. My cat will think I'm retarded, though (and he'll probably be right). |
