Well, i figured it was finally time (6 months later) to update ye trusty old blog. While i'm not even going to attempt to update you all on my life since May (I'm pretty sure i couldn't even hope to remember it all), I am going to get you all to see into my life right now and the tribulations i've gone through in the last month.

Anyways, since i like lists, I'm gonna put my life into list form, fuck correct english, proper senteces, and paragraph style...here it goes....

1. I am sad
2. I'm currently an RA at Dana Hall, Rm 322, check it out, it's a pimp room!
3. I still work at the red cross, not very much though. I have no clue about what's going on there now, everything's changed since the summer.
4. I'm currently single. Ladies watch out........for your men that i'm gonna steal!
5. I'm in the middle of a depressing break up in which i let myself basically be emotionally abused. Disheartening i know.
6. I'm going through the lengthy process of ADD testing. And coming to realize that a mistake or two i made in the last year may have cost me more than i ever would've realized.
7. I'm not doing too hot in classes right now.
8. Psychology can lick my ball sack
9. I quit as ACE League president, a piece of me feels as though it is missing, however I felt for a bit there on the verge of a mental breakdown, i needed to clear my plate a little.
10.I just ordered Chicken Parmesan from Mario's.
11.I'm trying to find a guy who will treat me right, and want as close a relationship that i want
12.My transmission in my car keeps slipping, my rearview mirror fell off the other day, i have a brake light out, and my one speaker is almost blown.
13.I think I mave a learning disability with my memory.
14.I'm probably going to Denmark in January.
15.I'm starting to do some modeling.
16.I've got a new cell phone.
17.It's 1:30am.

Ok, that's all i can think of for now, hopefully i'll update more frequently, we'll see....

I'm worthwhile, hehe

Well, here's the infamous update. Hmm, well, it's 5am on a wednesday morning, i'm in CELTS and i've reached a break in studying for an exam. I figured now would be as good of a time as ever to update the ole blog.

I'm not even going to try and update all that has gone on in the last 3 weeks, it'd take forever. Just know that a lot has happened and i have grown as a person b/c of most of it.

Last weekend was CTK. If you don't know what that is, it's a conference for all the GLBT college organizations to come together and further learn of the issues facing our community today. It was such a blast. I feel much closer to several people, and have made some amazing new friends. I've always been reluctant to have gay friends, but now i feel i have to ask myself whether that was homophobic of me? Who knows...Anyways, it was so much fun and has renewed vigor in me to continue the fight against the oppression the queer community faces everyday here and everywhere. While I'm not sure yet to do about whether to run for president again or not of ACE League (i need to decide by tonight), i do know that it is a copout for me to say that i will never again do anything with ACE league. How could i even think of abandoning my own community!?!?! I am going to put any efforts I can into this cause, b/c god knows, most other people have abandoned it too. We'll just see if i have an office out of that fact...

Ok, so i'm going to be soooo busy the next few months. 4 papers, 3 presentations, and 4 exams to go yet in the next few weeks. Hopefully, i survive it!!!

BTW, I'm also a Blockbuster employee now!!! WOOTTTTT

Laterz, don't look for frequent posts from this homefry as i will be too busy most likely.

Well, spring break has officially ended. Many many ups, a few downs, and of course lotsa applebee's. On Saturday, I headed out for Pikeville to spend the week with Adam. It was utterly amazing. I met so many cool people! Let me go into more detail...

Saturday
I woke up around 10am and finished up packing for the week. After forgetting various things...several times...I finally was on my way. I stopped in Lexington for a bit to, of course, grab a burrito at Qdoba (i now have a free burrito on my Qdoba card now!), and do some quick shopping. I bought Adam a pink polo shirt from AE b/c he said he didn't have one, I thought he would look good in pink. I hopped back in the car and drove to Pikeville. 2 hours later, i was at walmart waiting for adam to come and lead me to his house. We hung around for awhile, then later that night we went to Applebee's. It's going to be hard for me to differentiate between evenings b/c we went to Applebee's Saturday-Wednesday night, so bear with me. I met so many people who are awesome, Carri, Justin, Whitney, Trista (I heart trista muchos!!!, Adam picks his hags well!). I'm terrible with names so this is the short list, but trust me, there were several more people i met that were awesome!

As for Adam and I, that's complicated. I like him alot, and i think he likes me. However, after a long emotional conversation, we are simply very close friends for now. It may lead somewhere, it may not. Time will tell. But for now, in my oppinion, I really hope it will eventually lead somewhere. Great guys like him don't come along every day.

Anyways, on friday I headed back to ohio for the weekend. I did a whole lot of nothing and royally hate going home. On saturday, i slept forever, got up, went and washed mine and grandma's cars. Since i was extremely bored, i went a bit further with my car and waxed, polished, swept out, armor-alled, febrezed, and windexed. On sunday, mom made me go to easter, which goes against everything i stand for being agnostic and all. Man i hate organized religion. We had a family dinner at my aunt tami's, where i played with their dogs, did a backhandspring, and got money from the family...makes it somewhat worthwhile going home afterall. I drove to berea as soon as i could leave and went and low-lighted Sam's hair black. Fun times, it looks uber sexy!!

Today, I got up, went tanning and ate at chipotle. David, Sam and I went to Target afterwards where i found the best underwear ever!! Woot. Finally i'm here in CELTS where we've just watched Bridget Jones' Diary 2. It was good and I'm sleepy. I'm out y'all.

DaNa HaLl HeRe I cOmE!!!

Well, for all of you who are wondering. I found out earlier today that, next year, i will join the prestigious ranks of residence life staff in Dana Hall. Yeah...it's a freshmen dorm which means no visitation, no cable, no a/c, and no small suites....but....it does mean I will have the chance to truly help out some people better than i would in an upper class dorm, and my room is going to be huge as hell. I am really excited though, if you can't tell.

Tonight was a lot of fun. My excellently sexalicious friend Amanda had to take a leave of absence from school. It's sad, but she did need a break and it will be good for her so I'm supportive. Anyways, tonight was her last night here. David, Amanda, Sarah G., Jose, and I went after work to chipotle, mmm mmm good, and got burritos. Then we went and saw Ring 2. Kind of disapointing, especially if you liked the first Ring, but i would still see it cuz it answers some questions unanswered in the first. We drove amanda home, then came back and here i am

Oh yeah! The last day of classes was today too, thank god! I'm so ready for spring break. My plans have changed so many times, but i don't care b/c it's going to be the greatest week ever, and I need a break from the drama that they call Berea. Originally, a bunch of us were going to go to florida for the week and just chill. However, the estrogen must've started pumpin' full force b/c somehow the large group of friends i once knew and loved has split into a feud similar to the hatfields and the mccoys (seems to be the pattern around here doesn't it). Oh well, life goes on (if only other people would realize that to) Anyways, next i planned to just do a simple spring break with Lady Samwise Jamiriquai Bolin-Ball. That fell through because my mom decided i should work over the break at my 10.00 per hour job. Fine, i was looking forward to doing something with sam but money is good i guess. My work didn't see that same ideology. They only offered me one day of work. SCREW THAT!!

Finally, the best thing happened. I met this total sweetheart named Adam. My final plans are as follows: I'm going to Pikeville, KY for most of break to just be with him. I know, sweet ain't it! The best part is that there isn't really anything we have planned to do, which really excites me, just me and him hanging out together. :) Then for the last weekend, i'm going back to Ohio for Easter, hangin' with the family, then back to the grindstone of school. What fun!!!

Anyways, i must try and finish my laundry and packing. i'm leaving tommorrow, i'm gonna stop in lex b4 hand and get some chipotle and pick up a few things. Well Happy Spring Break everyone!!!

One more post today, sorry, this one is just too funny

OMG, it has been the most amazing week, well despite my car fucking up. Where to begin, where to begin...

Ok, we'll start on Tuesday. I met an AWESOME guy named adam from Pikeville on tuesday. We talked forever it seemed like, and, as it turned out, one of his best friends goes here, Mary Ellen!! I was dumbfounded, small world! Unfortunately, I had to take a break from talking with him and go to gymnastics. It was really fun that night, Alex had me do 5 back hansprings in a row. I was really dizzy afterwards, but i felt a great sense of accomplishment!! It's always a great feeling when you reach a goal (a backhandspring was my goal for gymnastics), i just need to figure out a new one. When I got back from gymnastics, I talked to Adam some more and we hit it off really well. He is such a sweet guy and so hot!

The next couple of days were spent in class, work, and, of course, talking to Adam. Now to tell you about the fun part. Adam had mentioned that he may come to visit me and mary during the weekend, he said he may come down on thursday after his class let out at 9pm. It turned out though, that Thursday afternoon he said he had to babysit for his sister and wouldn't be able to make it. Which was cool, disapointing, but what could I do. Well, I had to go to convo that night and listen to chamber music as performed by the Imani Winds, then I came back to my room where i started laundry and such. Next thing i know, i get an im from Mary Ellen saying that she really had something important to tell me and that she was coming over. I said ok, and awaited her arrival. My cell phone had just died at that point so i had to put it on the charger. This meant that i should go down and wait for Mary Ellen since all she knew was me cell #. I grabbed some laundry, took it to the laundry room, and headed for the lobby to watch for her. You'll have to know how danforth is set up in order to follow what happened next. I walked out the big double doors that exited my tower into the upper lobby and happened to look to my left.....imagine what I saw.

Parked out behind Danforth was a tan corolla and two people were standing in front of it. None other than Mary Ellen...and Adam! My draw literally dropped. I was so surprised! It was so amazing, I've never had any guy do anything like that. Wow!

We went to Arby's since they were hungry and got to know each other much better. After eating, we returned to campus. Of course, the best place for Adam to stay was with me:) So i helped him bring his stuff up to my room. We hung around my room the rest of the night, and fell asleep in each other's arms....aww, cute I know! He came with me to my 9am class that Mary and I shared, then went with Mary Ellen to work afterwards. For lunch, we decided to go to Lexington. But before eating we stopped at their friends' apartment, where we all went to Fazoli's, mmm mmm good. His friends are so awesome, and we had fun there. We got back around 4pm. I had to write a summary for Western trad that was due by 5pm. I quickly wrote one in 15 minutes, a personal record, and ran it over to Draper. I had thought i had to teach a class that night, but fortunately it had been cancelled. More time with Adam!!

Friday night, we kind of layed around the room for awhile and napped a bit here and there. Hunger hit us both and we decided to go to rent movies and get food. We had originally planned on renting the exorcist, but it was out. So, instead we rented Mean Girls and All Over the Guy, both excellent movies, perfect for cuddling!! It was so sad, all night i kept thinking about was how I only had a little bit longer to be around him. :(

He left in the morning around 9am, since he had to be at work at 2pm. I was a bit sad, but i knew i would talk to him shortly. I had to push the sadness aside and then go to my Hall specific interviews to be an ra. I'm really excited and hope i get the job for next year, i think i can really do good as an RA and truly help people! They all went really well, and i don't have much of a preference as to where i go, it's more about being the RA to me that where. Talked to Adam a bit after the interviews, he made it home safe. I went to lunch and tanning with Sam (i'm starting to get a little bit darker!!). Then came back and napped a bit. At around 4:30 i went to Kris Wright's house to check on her puppies as i was dog/house sitting that night for her. I fed them, and decided i needed to go feed my face. So, David, Sam and I went to Chipotle in Lexington where i had an orgasmic chicken burrito with chips and salsa. My mouth just started watering thinking about it. man i'm a fat ass, lol.

The three of us came back and watched the Notebook on the really nice tv. Halfway through the movie, we went to DQ to satisfy our sweet tooth before niagra falls started (the movie makes you cry, if not u must be dead and emotionless, you better go get that checked out). We watched the movie, cried, played with the dogs ("are those dog toys or boobs?!?!"), and called it a night.

Before bed, i talked to Adam a bit more. Everytime i talk to him, i understand more and more how much i like him. He's a great guy and I hope the distance between us doesn't prevent us from being at the very least excellent friends!! Of course, i'm hoping for more:). Hopefully he is too.

Well, i've just spent about 2.5 hours blogging and I have a Bonner class meeting at 4:25. So, i must call it a day and either a)do some studying or b)nap. Hmmmmm....choices choices choices...

Bitch was well on her way to being fixed. She was safely nestled into the garage and we were standing outside saying good bye. One problem. We were almost 2-3 miles from campus, and the clouds indicated rain. We called everyone we could think of with a car. Unfortunately, no one answered. We started walking with the hope that someone would eventually pick up. After walking about a block or so, being that fat asses we were, we decided a stop at McDonalds' was warranted. We nourished our bodies with vital nutrients, saw another hippy in a VW bus, then headed off once more. While passing DQ, we were hit on by a high schooler, we were just unsure who he was hitting on. Oh well...damn metrosexuals.

It was inevitable, the rain started just after we got away from the businesses. We walked and walked until finally we reached a point where we split ways and headed to our own respective homes, the journey was all over. The Land of eternal sun would have to wait until another day. In the end, Bitch cost around 200.00 to be fixed. She was much happier though afterward.

*No bitches were harmed in the making of this blog...*

The clouds seemed to foreshadow the coming perils that awaited Ryan and Sam, the air grew chill, the sky closed shut. Once they arrived at the garage, the told the mechanic of the calamity that had befallen Bitch. The mechanic looked it up on his computer and said that it would cost about 80 in labor(he was unsure of the cost of parts).

After much thought, they decided that they should go get some more quotes. BAD IDEA! The GM dealership quoted the fix at around.....$485.00. DAMN GENA! "No thank you," they quickly replied. Back to the first mechanic they went.

As soon as they walked in the mechanic knew, and had called a junkyard about the part. Fortunately, they had just gotten a new one in. However, they closed in 8 minutes!! Ryan and Same took off, flying swiftly in Bitch (with the window down of course). The trip to the junkyard seemed magical in a way. They saw so many things that lightened the mood. First we saw a hippy in VW bus, a dog taking a crap (then eating it when we passed it going back), and a house decorated in halloween dragons They handed over the keys, and left Bitch to be cared for.

to be continued....

Once upon a time, there were two like minded individuals. They dreamed of far off places and adventure on a regular basis. Little did they know, adventure awaited them at the end of the road this day. Listen carefully and I shall tell thee a tale.

The day was crisp, warm and cold at the same time, the two friends had spent the day in their respective jobs, fulfilling daily prophecy, and contemplating the meanings of life. Once work was completed, they met together and decided to venture towards the land of eternal sun. They had heard of remarkable things happening there, such as people returning bronzed and glowing. Feeling as though this was the best possible solution, they knew exactly what to do. They would journey to the countryside of Richmond where the land of eternal sun. They went to saddle up the noble steed, "Bitch" as she is known, and were off.

Unfortunately, the gods were angered with our bold galantry this day. While rolling down Bitch's window, it fell into the door. How unfortunate! To top it all off, storm clouds were quickly approaching. Ryan and Sam had to act fast. Without hesitation, they took bitch to the garage to see if there was anything they could do for here.

2005-03-03T22:51:00.000-08:00

Well, I decided it was about time to update again, so here it goes. It's been fairly uneventful the past few weeks. I've decided that i really lead an anti social schedule at times. Ever so often, my schedule starts sucking again, and i never see any of my friends. I feel like i miss out on so much, but oh well, that's life, especially mine.

Hmm, dating...dating...nope not so much. It seems like everytime I see a good prospect or really get interested in a guy. He's either A)not interested B)already dating someone or C)someone i'm not interested in. Life sucks ass. There is a guy from eku i've been talking to a bit, but we'll see where that goes, i'm predicting heartbreak, what do you think??? sigh*

On a positive side, I'm starting the interview process on becoming an R.A. I keep changing my mind though on where i want to be. First I thought Danforth, but the more i think about it, i feel i can make a difference more in a freshmen dorm (ie Dana). I also found out that there is a Hall Monitor position open at Kentucky, which would be really cool to go right into. Anywhere i go, though, i'm really excited and hope i get a staff position somewhere.

Ironically, even though it's not counted as a Bonner worthy job, I feel like the work i will do as an RA will be more rewarding than anything i've done thus far. That's one thing i've learned being a Bonner; community service can be the most bureacratic and hypocritical institution of them all. I'm supposed to be learning that serving your community will make the world and yourself all the better because of it. Maybe it's just my cynical personality talking, but I sometimes think this is a crock of shit. All's i've learned from being a bonner thus far is that you have to be highly dedicated to the issues your told to be dedicated to, you're not allowed to work toward your another cause you may feel strongly about. Don't get me wrong, poverty is horrible and ruins lives, and underprivelaged kids need mentors and guidance. Especially since the conservative right only seems to care about them while a child is in the womb.

"You're pregnant? And what? You're poor too?!? Too fucking bad, ur having the kid." Years later the child is in our poor educational system being held down by conservative, educational budget-cutting legislation.

How about the issues i have faced? Suicide, homophobia, body image, patriarchy. What freshmen Bonner class is going to spend a whole semester learning issues behind these societal issues? Hmm, good question.

I guess my point with this tangent i've gone into (unplanned tangent mind you), is that community service should be incidental, not topical. Bonners should be taught how to fight for what they believe in and given resources on how to do that; instead we are taught to fight for one or two causes that we've been told to fight.

*I want to overemphasize that the point that i'm trying to make is not in any way pro-poverty or anti-mentoring, it's anti "tracking" (kind of like how children are put into tracks in school that shape their entire future, i.e. college bound or not). Ideally, i see the bonner scholars as making the world a better place, not just improving a few aspects of it.

Ok, now that I've officially probably pissed off several people (i apologize for offending you, not for my statements) i'm going to move on.

hmm, this weekend my mom and aunt are coming to visit. I'm going after work to lexington with that guy from eku, then afterwards it's home to start the family weekend, beginning with a beautiful rendition of Kinetic Expressions. Saturday, I get to go to the professional olympic quality gymnastics facility in Richmond, woohoo!!!! Other than that, this weekend will be a lot of money spending and probably some homework.

A sigh of realization, amongst hopes of being weighted

2005-02-25T23:34:00.000-08:00

Well, i'm sitting here, it's 3am (no i'm not singing the lyrics to the song from Latter Days, thanks for playing), and i'm sitting all alone in a CELTS conference room. Sam, Pat, Jose, and Amanda all have left to go back to their respective lives, what with the evenings events coming to an end. Where does that leave me, in limbo of course, a state I seem to know all to well. Maybe it's just the complete darkness and blackness of it all in here, but I'm sure there is something that I'm missing in life. The realization is reluctant to show it's ugly head however.

For a moment, I contemplate...Is this me? Is this my life? Who are these people? Why do they care? Should I care? Do my friends hate me? Do my friends love me? Do I love me? Do I hate me? Is there someone fawning over the idea of being with me? Is there someone plotting to be the death of me? Am I that person? Is this depression? Am I, in reality, just golfing alongside Ghandi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., unaware that I have long ago been dead and have risen to heaven? Am I, in reality, suffering alongside Hitler and Ghengis Khan, unaware that I have long ago been dead and have been lowered into hell? Who? What? Where? When?Why???????

Please someone fill me in, I'm too good at keeping my life a mystery while encouraging others to spill the beans. Fill me, Kill me, Feed me, Tease me, Learn me, Eat Me, Run me, Need me! All of the above, I do not know for earnest, just choose one and display my apathy to the world.

Next question: What inspired me to write this????.....Anyone?.....Anyone??...Yes, Timmy? "IF you have to ask it this question it has nothing to do with you." "Correct Timmy"

Next question class: Or is there even an inspiration to this display of emotion?.....

I just found a Christmas shaped little debbie in my food bin. After much debate and "To eat or not to eat", i ate it and enjoyed. Thanks Deb for hermetically sealing your cakes so well!

Gymnastics, House Council, and Penis naming, OH MY!!!

2005-02-22T21:43:00.000-08:00

Hmm, so i just had to blog just now. After gymnastics and house council tonight, i came back and did a bit of homework, talked to a couple peeps, chilled like a mofo. Then...David and I discussed what we should name our peni (is that the correct term for the plural penis?). In conclusion, we decided that my penis is to be now to be formally known as "Damien," David's will be known as "Grant."

Damien wanted me to tell you all, that he feels so flattered to be mentioned in two blogs in the last week. He recieved a Hail Mary, and a name!! Can't Beat that.....er, wait.

"Dad. I have a question." "Yes Jill, what is it?"

2005-02-16T22:20:00.000-08:00

So...it's update time! "Da na na na na na na na Update time" (apply these lyrics to "Hammer Time" by MC Hammer.)

School's good, I'm really cracking down really well on my studies! I'm even seriously considering re taking physics to fix my gpa. Harvard won't accept just anyone afterall! Even though Harvard is one on a long list of grad schools (Harvard, NYU, UK, UT, and a few others i forget). Applaud me next time you see me, b/c i'm actually doing most of my reading for classes!!

As for work, i'm getting burnt out on teaching classes, i'm starting to realize that teaching isn't for me. I'm supposed to teach on Saturday, but i'm trying to think of some way to get out of it. Hmm, oh well, i may be getting a book keeping job with them soon. OH!! Speaking of jobs. I applied to several places in Richmond for some extra money. I applied to Hasting's, Applebee's, and O'Charley's. So far, it's looking like i'm heading towards Applebee's or O'Charley's (already quasi-interviewed at O'Charley's) I think i'd rather have Applebee's though, not sure why, hmmm. Oh well, wish me luck either way!

Hmm, not sure what else to talk about, I'm no longer a poor piece of crap! After arguing with financial aid for two hours, we finally came to a consensus that i truly did need money! Hmm, i could've told'em that one. Sooo...they upped my expected yearly budget, since i drive to richmond everyday for work; which, in turn, gave me eligibility to recieve 1000.00 more in stafford loans. WOOHOO!!

Can't think of much else for now, other than that i <3 my friends!!! And to show my appreciation, I will play my new favorite video/song, and maybe favorite band, even though i've never heard any other song. Any whoooo, sit back, relax, poor a nice coca-cola carbonated beverage, and listen to Brand New "Sic Transit Gloria."

Video is gone...sorry, hahaha

It seems so out of context, in this gaudy apartment complex

2005-02-12T16:06:00.000-08:00

So, after watching "The Notebook" last night, i truly want to take a trip up and down the highway and not across the road. I'm not sure how to explain why it makes me cry, but it was the most i have ever cried at a movie. I was whimpering at one point for gosh sake!! It wasn't really tears of joy or tears of sadness, it was a mixture. In general though, it was an excellent movies which everyone should watch...kind of like Latter Days.

Today was a good day, I slept in, went to lunch, then decided to go job huntin'. Shhh, don't tell Berea! (even though it mentions nowhere in the student handbook about not being able to get off campus jobs. I put in applications at Hastings, Maurice's, O'Charley's, and Applebees. Applebee's and O'Charley's look the most promising for now, O'Charley's even wanted me to take a little test and fill out the app. there so the manager could look at it for when i come in next week. Cross your fingers!!! I need money!!

Oh well, g2g, it's been fun y'all. comment if you like, explaining that your just visiting. Btw, check out sam's blog, b/c it has the most amazing music video/song ever!!! I'm going to go listen right....now!

So I finally broke down and had to update for all my friends. Today's soundtrack will be The Postal Service-"The district sleeps alone tonight" as I have become a rather enthusiastic synthetic pop fan thanks to Sammy B.

Anyways, the last few weeks have been devoted mostly to school, work, and other such mindless fun. Classes are ok so far, but the whole idea of buying 24 books for 4 classes didn't exactly thrill me. I have, however, found out why we have so many...because evidently my teachers think I'm literate and can read 150 pages per night. They are sadly mistaken.

I went with a few of the peeps last weekend to see "Hide and Seek," I rather reccomend it as it is a superb cinematic master piece! CHARLIE, CHARLIE, CHARLIE! We also went to Moe's (because Moe knows burritoes). I'm pretty sure i hate it now, and the only burrito places i will be venturing to are Chipotle and Qdoba. The burrito Moe's made had nasty salsa, and was overtly cheese-laden. Oh well, guess you just can't beat the twins (chipotle and qdoba).

I've also been working quite a bit, everyday 1-4pm that is. I taught a babysitters class last night, and have a few more in the next few weeks. I'm going to have to get a job too soon i think though. Money is uber tight, and I'm scared to see my credit card bill (i've been using it instead of my check card, since i'm lacking in funds in that department), ugh!!!! I applied at hasting's and am thinking about going job hunting tommorrow at a few restaurants. Can anyone see me working at Red Lobster?!?! MMMM, CHEESE BISCUITS!!!

Well, i'll leave you all with that, hopefully that quenches all of your Ryan thirsts for today. Keep Bloggin...and truckin'.

Tuck yo' tummy tight in, get them sit ups right in, do your crunches like this

Today's soundtrack is "Workout Plan" brought to us by Kanye West, in order to prepare for my awesome gymnastics performance on Thursday at 8pm. You better come or may have to get medieval on your ass.

Last night was horrible, I was talking to Jonathan and that was great, obviously. Then I went to bed and locked my door, usual stuff right? Well, I get up a little later to go to the bathroom, but, to my dismay, i'm locked in! Keep in mind that i'm rather clostrophobic and have an extreme fear of being trapped. After 20 minutes of trying to open the lock, it starts in. I got a headache, broke out into a sweat and got dizzy; all at once! I thought to myself, give it another 15 minutes or so and i'll start to really freak out. Hmmm, what to do, what to do?!?! After much deliberation, and several calls to people who weren't home in my suite. i laid down on the floor cuz i almost fainted, i chilled there for a few minutes and finally tried to work the lock one more time. Finally, someone heard me trying to escape (by this time, my messing with the door was getting to be loud and frantic), they informed me that i had left my keys in the key hole when i closed the door and locked it. WOW!!! My face was red!

Weekend of Fun

2005-01-23T23:00:00.000-08:00

The last post really fucked up, it was supposed to include like 5 paragraphs of everything i did this weekend. Oh well! In a nutshell, i went to knoxville to spend the weekend with my new bf Jonathan. He's amazing, sweet, cute, and a really nice guy. We did so much this weekend, and i met soo many of his friends who are totally great people! Oh, and it was so refreshing to see people who were actually mature enough not to get upset when they aren't invited to every single little thing. Ah, sooooo refreshing to know people who understand there is only so much room in a car, that if you are invited to do something..don't blow people off the last minute and get mad later. Sorry, had to get that out, i know that was hypocritic of my last post but it needed said. If you want to know more about what i did though this weekend, ask me. For now, i'm going to bed b/c it's 2am and i've got to be up in 5 hours. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

It's like winning the lottery the day you fix your counterfeiting machine...

2005-01-23T22:16:00.000-08:00

So, I had such an immensely good weekend i have decided to offset my happiness by playing one of my favorite (non-rock, non-meaningful) videos on my Blog. I also feel that happiness is needed in my local blog community, because (no offense to any of my friends, keep blogging, it's a great release) i just need a break from the recent wave of emo-tastic, emotional, dramatic blogging that has plagued berea. Because really! Did we all forget of the idea of just having fun?!?!?! Let's all remember this: LIFE IS TOO SHORT

I'm the envy of pop goth kids, rockers, and druggies

YOU ARE A RAVER!
You are so hot right now, but you don't know it
because you are really friggin messed up. You
have just consumed a nice little mixture of
acid and ecstacy, and now it looks like the
walls are melting! With your extremely gigantic
pants and your extra large slipknot shirt, it
is no wonder you are the Dance Dance Revolution
champion of your school. If it weren't for the
pacifer in your mouth and the glowsticks around
your neck I would think you were Asian. With
your extreme, anti-god attitude, and your
techno D.J. skills you have become the envy of
the pop goth kids, the rockers, and the
druggies.

Update-o-rama

2005-01-17T17:46:00.000-08:00

WELL, I feel like I should update my blog again as it's been several days.

Saturday I taught my first CPR class ever in richmond!! It went ok I think. It really threw me through a loop when I had 2 people on my class roster, and four people showing up. Luckily, I had one extra of everything. So, after having two people share a manikin, giving one girl my book, and gathering amt's of money i wasn't sure was right, I was ready to go. It went smoothly I think, butI definitely made some notes for myself to improve my performance as an instructor.

After the class, which made for a long day (7am-3:30pm on a Saturday morning!!), I came back and had an excellent nap then went to dinner. Now the best part of my day! I've been talking to a guy from tennessee for about a week and i decided i'd have him come up on Saturday night. We really hit it off!! He's such a sweet guy and I'm glad I met him; a complete 360 from my past experiences with guys because usually the guys I am interested in or get involved with (not necessarily always a combination of those 2 things), especially with the "bologna" situation ;) Anyways, he came up around 8pm and we watched Latter Days. After wiping both or our tears away, because we all know how amazing it is; we went for arby's at around 12pm. We woke up around 12, and he left shortly after. We've talked on the phone a lot since, and he's pretty much my bf now!! If i can figure out how to put pics on here, i'll get a picture of him up.

The rest of my sunday was spent napping, eating and choreography; just like any other day if you know me at all, lol.

HAPPY MLK DAY!!! No classes, what more could you ask for! Anyways, i got up late (around 10:30am), went to work around 12 and came back around 4pm. More choreography, and then my new favoritist show ( I know favoritist isn't a word), Trading Spouses on Fox. It's the greatest show! They take two moms from two completely different families and switch them. The usual formula is a rich, uppety mom trades families with an easy going, family oriented mom. Hilarity ensues. The woman last night was so ungodly bitchy it made me want to vomit. I can't even describe how addictive this show is. The catch to this show is that at the end both families get $50,000.00. However!!! The other mom gets to decide how the other family will spend it. hahahahahahahahaha, I feel so morbid for taking such entertainment from this.

I feel as though i've rambled enough about my weekend. So, I leave you with this quote, think about it as it has meaning behind it...."Assuming makes an 'ASS' out of 'U' and 'ME'; right now I feel like the most unassuming ASS there ever was. HMM?!?! How to fix this...How to fix this?

To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems!

Friday=Fun

2005-01-14T20:51:00.000-08:00

Ok, so i have to do a blog tonight!!! I have so much to tell!! I'll start with the beginning.

I didn't have class this morning. DANES Alex Pederson and Kerrina Federson decided that we would go in m-th a half an hour early, and not meet on fridays. DANISH GYMNASTICS ROCK!! BTW, I am now fluent in the ways of a running roundoff backhandspring. WOOT for me!! I love that class, I'm thinking about going to do the Danish Gymnastics class next january in Denmark...abroad!! How awesome! Anyways...since i didn't have class this morning, I slept in until 11:30, which was amazing!

I started getting ready for work and planned to go eat lunch. However, someone failed to tell me that it was preview weekend. The line to get in at food service was insanely long. So i got food in richmond b4 work and all was well. THE END....

As if!!! Ok, I worked from 1-4pm. Work was a lot of preparation for my class tommorrow, it's my first class ever to teach (I'm a bit nervous). I really like my job i think though, even though i'm only a volunteer basically to them. I could practically be an employee as much as i know about how the Red Cross is run and operates. I know the computer programs, do invoices, teach cpr/aed/first aid/babysitting classes, and do presentations at schools. Normally volunteers do none of that. New volunteers come in and think i work there. BTW, there was a really hot guy that came in today who i think is gay (or at least hope so!).

I came back to berea, and after eating and about an hour of confusion. Sam, David, I decided to go to Chipotle for chicken burritoes, mmm it was soo fun and good. Sam fondled her breasts while staring the mexican man chopping chicken. We sat down and commented on how the sixth graders were quite prevalently on cell phones. Then, we discussed different types of toppings on our burritoes ("corn salsa gives one the shits"=sam projectile spitting 1/2 her burritoe across the table). Then, after disscussing mexicans picking lettuce from low riders, we left and headed home.

But first, we went to to richmond in search of Hastings cuz Sam needed a string for her gnarly bass. We drove through eku's campus pimpin' the song "Jump Off" by little Kim with the bass bumping (i love my car's subwoofer). We pulled up to a car of girls who appeared to be jamming to something. After semi-mocking them by jamming out (and making a few fake sexual demonstrations, i rolled down the window and realized they were jamming to some hard core, brain rattling, gangsta-style...............................britney spears. IT WAS SO FUNNY!! So, naturally, after the light turned green, we threw up a few gang signs and drove off, lol.

When we got back to berea, i basically started studying for my class and wrote this. So, without further adu, i must retire to the sanctity of my bed. Peace out. Word.

I'm also Chandler Samwise!!

Well, today i think i started pms'ing. I was so emotional!! OMG. I got really depressed tonight for some reason. Hmmm, anyways.....

I taught my first class today at the red cross, it was basic first aid. It wasn't nearly as hard as i thought it would be. Saturday i'm teached an 8 hour class in richmond, wish me luck!!

So, let me discuss my depression. I feel like I've really been fucking up on a daily basis lately, nothing goes right, everything goes wrong, and I get more busy everyday. I hate having to be the busiest one of all my friends, always having to do something for work, school, or some other organization i'm SAM involved in. IT SUCKS. Sometimes it makes me feel so out of the loop with my friends. There's only a few people i keep in touch with regularly anymore, then all of my other friends i only see at meals (well that is, the meals i am able to go to, being so busy and all). It's really starting to tear me up how all of my girl friends (emphasis on friends) have been at each other's throats all the time. I feel like when i'm hanging out with one of the girls, i'm betraying the others, and vice versa. I don't know, i'm going to bed, i need a man to preoccupy my time.

This is sad, Sam

2005-01-08T19:03:00.000-08:00

Well, since I have been urged rather adamently to start updating my blog more, here's the first in a chain of more to come. Hmm, where to begin......

I'm back from break, and short term is in full swing. Danish Gymnastics is so much fun!! I'm sore as hell though, lol. On friday, for the first time ever, i did a roundoff and two backhandsprings without pausing I was so happy! We are having to do a presentation though on tuesday over the lifestyles of denmark, it's gonna suck. I HATE PRESENTATIONS!!!! Hopefully by the end of the month, i will be able to do a roundoff, backhandspring, back tuck without any help and w/o pausing.

Work is going pretty good. I just spent this first week getting certified as an American Red Cross CPR Instructor. Now that's it's all done I can teach and Regular CPR/First Aid/AED class and CPR/AED for the professional rescuer, which is pretty cool. They also want me to take a test to become a babysitting class instructor. It'll be a lot of fun.

I got a new car too, 99 grand am gt coupe. It's my new baby. While i do miss my other babies (poor prelude and eclipse), this one is definitely a keeper too.

I must say that i have a new favorite movie too. Latter Days is such an awesome movie. Even all of my straight friends cry in it, it is so sad and happy.

I leave you with this poem:

I read your heart, you sing along,
Notes of distress and love mix together.
I ask myself solemnly....seeking revelation
Why do you need love? It's not the world.
But I look again, and see the truth.
Your love is distress, unyeilding to reason;
You misinterpret it into unreadable prose.
You learn from mistakes by making similar ones.
What to do? What to do? Loving extinguish, confusion enflamed.

I'm Kip

Escaped mental patient

2004-08-19T21:06:00.000-07:00

Hehe, two amusing things happened recently, both at my job in Blanchard Valley Health Association (fancy words for a hospital). I work in the dietary.

1) I was serving patients lunches, when i came to a room where a found......what else but a midget. It brightened my day to serve a midget!! :)

2) I was on break when over the intercom, the operator said, "Attention BVHA associates, Code Brown in 3 west. I repeat, Code Brown in 3 west." I know what you're thinking, what's so funny about that? Well, a little back ground. Code Brown means missing adult. Wait, it gets better. 3 west is a wing in the hospital, 3rd floor west hall, also called Orchard Hall. Of course, the psych unit!! There was an escaped mental patient!! What's funner than that?!?!? LMAO
-Speaking of Orchard Hall, one time i was taking food there. and through the locked door, a man was running up and down the hall buck naked. Ah, naked crazy people, if there's anything better than that, i haven't found it!

Well, four more days 'til i'm back in berea!! Can't wait

Ironically...Waiting anxiously for school!!

2004-08-12T19:49:00.000-07:00

Well, SFA day camp is over!!! Excuse me one moment while i scream for joy, "asd;lfj[awifoiwnernvaowienfnpuioasnpdfnvpaosndpfvoianpweroinfapwioefmnoasjidf" (<- me screaming for joy), ahem. Anyway, i moved out of good ole apt 106 located in the crappy, drug infested apartment building owned by Willard. RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU HATE LANDLORDS!!!! I only hope the things i left in the apartment are still there when i return in two weeks, only time can tell. Let us have a moment of silence for my lonely stuff back in berea.........ok. I guess we'll have to see if it there in two weeks, i'll keep you posted!

The drive home was tiring, i about fell asleep between Cincinnati and Dayton. Luckily, although it did cause a traffic hold up, there was a flame-engulfed car on the side of the road to keep me amused and awake. It reminded me of the scene in red dragon where the enflamed wheel-chair man rolled down the hill. I thought of it, then laughed.

I finally arrived home, cooked spaghetti (mmmm, leftovers), and typed this blog. Well, i'll be back in Forest, OH for about two weeks, i'd guess until the 23rd or 24th. Unless the boredom kills me first, i will be back as soon as i can; because, as we all know, going home sucks compared to Berea folk! lol!

*Sigh*, until we meet again mis amigos!

1st Annual Great American Eat-Off 2004

2004-08-08T15:26:00.000-07:00

Well, it was a long and grueling battle between our three warriors...Patrick, Kristi, and Shawn. Let me take you back to the beginnings of these noble game. It was a simpler time; life was care-free and the people yearned for competition of the masses(especially those involved in the non-competitive cult collectively known as "SFA Day Camp"). It's almost too hard to look back at such a time...last friday was, afterall, a long time ago!!

Kristi, Shawn and Patrick all agreed on a game requiring unearthly courage, stamina, and will power. The game: Eating. The place: Pizza Hut Buffet. Need we say more.

You could definitely see the determination in the eyes of the competitors as they filled their plates. A silence forshadowing the ensuing battle filled the Pizza Hut dining room, faint cries could be heard from the yound children as they ate there personal pans.

The games began. Shawn and Patrick took a commanding lead right from the whistle. Kristi, however, was not out of the game by any means. She soon picked up speed and surpassed the two men's tallies. Concentration was at full by each of the parties, interrupted only by the voice of Joseph, the noble server, who came to offer wisdom and the occasional refill. The heroes trucked on.

In the end, there could only be one victor to take the coveted title of "First Annual Great American Eat-Off Champion." That one person, who faced adversity, and triumphed over all others was none other than Shawn. With a commanding 13 slices, Shawn dominated Patrick's 12 slices and Kristi's 11 slices. For his prize, Shawn was awarded a delightful bag of tea called "Smooth Move," for all those laxative tea needs. Ah, the victory after competition...known by few, cherished by many!!!

Not every August 8th can have this much excitement. We can only wonder what heroes will emerge from next years "Great American Eat-Off" (location to be disclosed).

Cheese
