Hi,

I know you'll probably never read this but I've seen every movie you've ever done and I just want you to know that Emily E. Hopper

Likes you.

Yes, I like you.  I like what you do, how you act, the life you lead.  You know your gorgeous, so we won't get into that.  I think that you and your humanitarian work is admiridable, and your body of work as an actor is at the worst, entertaining, but mainly enchanting.  Your family is adorable, and I would frankly love to just tell you in person that I like you.  Every thing I hear about you just makes me like you more.  I like that you have dark aspects to your personality, that you are tattooed and imperfect.  I like that because you still try to be the best person you can be. 

I am not a terribly friendly person; I am not very sociable. I have at most had maybe 2 best friends, and many many good friends.  I've moved so many times in my life, both physically and emotionally, that I've lost more friends than I can honestly count.   I would be quite content knowing you read this and knew that one random woman likes you.  I have no great desire to be your best buddy or anything.  Actually, we are in totally different places in our lives.  I'm married, no kids and no plans for any for the next 4+ years.  You have kids, adorable kids, but kids. 

Despite that,  I like you.

That is really all I want you to know.  If I met you, I would say exactly that.

I hope you enjoy a little note that you will never read from a none rabid fan.

I have gone into the Arts and Crafts center on the base.  I've gotten some yarn, another crochet needle etc.  I have completely avoided talking to the sales clerk about their ceramics classes.  I haven't even gone in there and looked at it. 

I haven't played with class since my summer quarter about 2 years ago.  And that was after a year. 

However, I still remember tons and tons and I could very easily teach a class at the Arts and Crafts center.  Once a week.  The have three electric kils, probably cone 6.  They have tons of those plaster molds where I think you pour the clay into it.  That really isn't something I have a ton of experience doing, but can probably be learned.  

Apparently they need a hand building teacher.  If I take only 3 classes a quarter (which I've already decided to do) for the next two terms, I will undoubtedly be able to find one day a week to do this.  Extra money.

It is mainly a question (for me) of specifics:  money, class size, responsibility, class times, dates.  I've never really taught anything in any sort of offical capacity.  I think I visited an elementary class one time.  Nervous experience as I recall. 

But extra money for doing something I always liked to do.  Of course I'd get clay everywhere, and bring stuff home with me.  Hell, I think my tool box is still at my parents.  I'd be able to pi0kc projects to show how to do techniques (like Fenton's outhouse, coil vase, pinch mug) but my own versions.  Or like Hunter's balloon technique. 

I only took a brief look at the facility (which was a large ish room at best) so i'm not sure whats up with glazes, clays, and tools for the hand builders. 

I have seriously avoided this.  I've concentrated soley on school.  I'm going in tomorrow to talk to the guy who runs the center and see if he can answer my questions. 

This would be the most random way to get a job, if only a part time one.

Also, while I was in taking my final, someone scraped my car.  They left a note with contact info.  Very nice of them.  It's not that bad, just a light colored scratch on my navy car in the back right.  My first car accident, and I wasn't even there.  And I parked far away from everyone.. and I did a decent job.

Oh well...

Happy mother's day to all the mothers out there.

Current Mood: contemplative

It was a somewhat awesome dinner.  Ravoli with white sauce with crab.

The crab, I forgot, was somewhat salty.  Silly me adding salt to the white sauce anyway.  Also I ran out of milk.  The result was a much thicker, saltier sauce than I expected.

Still palatable but I feel like I need a piece of bread on the side or to add some water to thin the sauce.  or both. 

On a scale of 1-10, I'd say this attempt (my first) is about a 6/10. 

It really helped that I've been drinking wine all night. 

I have a healthy buzz, and I'm drinking alone.

It's 7:45pm here. 

More people need to get on aim.

I've been very busy with school as usual.  I have a poetry class which I fucking hate.

Pretty much lately its like this:  I'm online for school so damn much that I avoid being online longer than I have to be.  Meaning my poor lj and webcomics and forums are neglected.  Also with all the posting/papers I get so sick of typing.  I'm trying to remedy.

Pretty fucking burned out with school.  Like way more burned out than I think I could get.  So next term (the dates overlap with other terms.. whatever)  I'm going to just take 2 classes.  Also, I'm going to try to use some of the extra time to take a clep math.  They study guides, I figure I'll study till I feel comfy and then take it.  I'd really prefer to not take an online math class.  It just isn't how I learn math.  For that I'd actually need face to face instruction. 

Either way, I'm taking a bit of a break.

Oh and the college fucked up my classes.  There are 3 different sites that offer online classes.  Asia, Europe, and Adelphi which is stateside.  I wanted to do all four classes in the stateside one because Asia and Europe have different term dates from Adelphi.  In fact, Asia is 10 week long terms, while Adelphi is 15.  Their terms also over lap way way more.  So what happens?  They fuck up my reservation process, and I have to call and be like "WTF"  SO now I have two Adelphi classes, one Asia, and one Europe.

I have:

Poetry -hate hate hate but req
Drama - rather like actually. and req
18th Century British Lit - Interesting, and sometimes frustrating also req
Europe's Bloodiest Century History - wait.. 20th century again?  I know some of this stuff! req

Next term I'll only be taking:
 Shakespere works, maj. brit author. req
and History Writing (req)

If I can sucessfully clep the math, then I'll still be on track.  Then I will simply take the last 4 classes in term 5.  I just really need to slow it down for a while.  There is no down time between terms.  In fact, they somewhat overlap sometimes.  I really want this to be over.  I miss working.  Its very annoying to work hard and realize that you are paying THEM, not the other way around. 

Clep is where you take a test for credit.  it costs about 90 bucks for the test, but that's way less time and money than taking a class.

Muffin is being weird as usual.  My friend Gwen is going home to Philly fairly soon.  Her husband and her do not get along while living together.  Both nice, but very incompatible.  I will miss her.  Japanese hot springs (onsens? sp?)  are awesome.  We've been on a bunch this winter.  One was a mixed one outside.  Beautiful place too.  It's been snowing fairly regularly here, to my dismay.  It was sunny the other day which was nice.  That need to happen more.  Kill the snow.

Ryan finally (2 month wait I think) got his Ctc's so he'll be able to work through those last 4 volumes (I think) and then start up HIS school.  Poor guy has to hear me bitch and moan about the fucking poetry (if I have to read whitman or dickenson or dryden one more fucking time...) and school so much I'm sure one day his ear will fall off. 

Got more comic books with the bn gift certificates.  I didn't renew my membership because I didn't really feel like it was that helpful.  I think if I was working I'd buy waaay more books/comics.  The Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop.  Look it up, it's bad ass.  Also the rest of Fables, some Preacher, another Sandman, Alias (look it up, it's not the show) 1&2 and a Hellboy who now in my head sounds like Ron Perlman.

However I did find the CUTEST shirt ever.  Yes, yes.. Me? Shopping???  Gwen likes it, she drags me, I like getting out seeing off base.  Anyway she found it and had me try it on, along with a few other hideous shirts.  Its a baby doll style shirt, but GET THIS FOLKS... The line that is supposed to go under the breasts?  IT DOES.

I have no idea how, but it does.  It's gray.  I'm totally in love with it.  I've also bought some jeans off base (for 1000 yen, which is like $10).  I've tried on bra's but they have that 50's cone thing going on.  And wtf is up with bigger bra's being fucking hideous? I mean, wtf baige and lacy and still 60 bucks.  I hate you, bra manufacturers.  I did by another of my FABULOUS t-shirt bra's in black.  Love them... no cone boob. 

So yes, sorry about not updating, but I was beyond tired of the comp/typing.  It was like I just couldn't do it.  I just reread good comics.  Like I reread Elfquest.  The latter part of the series is not nearly as well written as the first part.  It had a lot of wtf moments.  And of course I read it all in one sitting.  My poor back.

Anyway, I've got to start a paper on Dali for my history class.  And read fucking poetry *grumble grumble* and fill out paperwork for my scholarships so I'm going to sign off.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We got lots of packages (10 boxes at the post office in one day; boy did they really not like us) Which is nice.  I hope people like what we got them, this last year has been difficult a bit finacially, mainly because I'm not working.  3 more TERMS!  Woo.

Thats term 3 with four classes, term 4 also with four classes, and term 5 with 2-3 classes (depending if i can find time to study for and take that CLEP test for math class credit)  but yes, 4+4+3= 11 classes.  I'm  pretty excited.

With that note, because we are going on vacation to Guam in January during my finals week, I have to schedual my proctored exams a week earlier, and get the final papers, readings, etc done early.  Fairly daunting, but we have the next week off so I should be able to get the two papers I really need to do done.

Engl 222 paper #1, 4-5 pages.  One of two on the same subject (anne sexton poem) the other one is much longer, unfortunatly. due Jan 6th

&

Hist 364 research paper, 8-10 pages.  On women's suffrage.  I already have my 6 sources (2 primary) and a rough outline.  I just need to start writing the damn thing.  It's ds thank god. Due soon, the teacher has offered to help and give advice on any rd's.  I'm so jumping on that.

Good news though, midterms are for the most part over (each class picks a different week it seems) and I've already written and turned in one of the Research papers (HIST 483) So that's one class I don't have to worry about.  If I can write the other research paper, it'll be two classes I don't have to worry much about.  Then it'd be a matter of reading and confrences.

It feels like I'm always busy doing something with school.  I'm kind of a hermit lately.  It's kind of nice.  I was hanging out with this one girl waaaay too much and i just needed time to myself.  Sort of rude of me, but she had trouble understanding the "Emily time" concept.  I mean, come on, Ryan gets it.  He has the majority of next week off, and I'm just like "you need to give me peace and quiet to do some school shit" but that will probably amount to a few hours. 

I dyed my hair again, a darker shade, more of a burgandy redish brown.  I also have been drinking on the weekends my favorite drink right now, cranberry and vodka.  You can make them really strong.  I like the color.

Tomorrow is the Xmas ball/party w/e.  I'm going to wear my slinky brown dress.  You may remember it; it's the dress I got married in.  I have a good bra for cleavage.  I guess there's an open bar, but with a budget. 

I notice in the winter I stay inside more, I sew and crochet more.  Also I stay up later and sleep in less.  Winter naps are the best.  In summer I sleep way way more.  I have a sleep mask, its awesome. 

I'm totally procrastinating starting the paper.  I have to bargin with myself to get me to even touch the 8-10 pg paper.  I said to myself that I would only do the sources and make a rough outline at the most, at the least get 3 sources.  I out smarted myself however, I did all my other hw for the week already (HA HA!) so now I have nothing to do but the paper.

in short folks, I rule.  or I will...  moo ha ha.

unless I start next weeks work... no no the break we have nothing. SHit I really am going to either go nuts with boredom or write that paper. Foiled again. BLAST.

We are good, taking about retiring the old scanner and printer and getting a printer/scanner/copier which uses cheap ink cartages.  I miss having a working printer.  Fuck DELL, for two cartiges it was $50.00, not including s &h. 

I suppose I could just right an intro paragraph ...

Love you guys,
M

ps.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

Current Mood: busy

Hiay guys.


News:  I got a car.  Its blue (?) Toyota Camry.  Its  cool.  I'm grinding away through my classes, should be registering on monday.  That should be interesting.  I still haven't gotten my official transcript evaluation in the mail yet.  Just to let the relatives know, the mail here is so slow its retarded (ooo I'm using the word like its meant to be used!)  so keep that in mind when sending any packages.

Honestly folks, you know what I always like to get, gift certificates.  For me and Ryan.  Barnes and Noble I'd especially like.  Those visa prepaid gift cards would be nifty. 

I was sad the other day, my American eagle jeans that I got January of like 05 when I moved back to Seattle from Boston, well kids they ripped.  Not in the crouch thank good but on the left leg while I was playing with Muffin.  I patched it smartly, but damnit I'm going to need some new pants eventually.  The clothing stores on base are pathetic.  The ones off base have ... interesting fashion (baggy shirts of netural colors, with bows... wtf) and tiny little jeans.  That cost more than you'd believe.  So yes, internet, I love you so much. 

I randomly baby sat for my neighbor's kid today.  This kid is about 2 and half, looks like he's 4.  Nice curly blond hair, cute as a button.  Loves those little painful to step on matchbox cars.  She had an emergency doctor thing so she asked me if I could help her out.  It ended up going for about 4 hours.  My point, my friends, is I changed a diaper.  I totally changed a diaper.

It took me a while to figure the damn thing out, and he was fairly helpful and cooperative.  He pulled the dang thing off as to say "this one is full and no good.  Please put me in another"  And by god it was full.  Full of piss thank god.  She came back about a half an hour after that.  I went back up to my house to finish some hw and the kitty was waiting for me, and for the next twenty minutes I was just marveling at how pleasantly quiet it was.

Fucking aye diapers. 

Other good news, I went in for my fortnight wart burning off doctor's appointment and he said "STOP EVERYTHING!"  So I'm not filing or butting acid on it, just duct tape ever other day (because its looked like it's died before, but it doesn't.  its like the Freddy of warts)  and hopefully when I go there in another 2 weeks they'll say "oh golly gee whiz, ITS DEAD"  and we'll all dance.  All of us.

Even you.

And hw is going and going and going on.  I'm in the end of week six of 10.  exciting.  I've cut my drinking alcohol  down to 3 nights a week, mainly because I was getting a beer gut (I am my father's daughter) and I'd rather just drink on the weekends anyway.  Drink to get drunk? not so much.   More of a social drinker, eh?  Kitty is so cute. 

I miss sofie sometimes.  This kitty isn't really a "hold me" lap cat.  Its more of a "omg play play?"  and "wtf are you doing in the shower?  Didn't you know there's WATER!  RUN RUN! GET OUT OF THERE!" except that happens twice a day. and "hi2U I luv u.  Feed me?"   She has this adorably weird habit of following me around.   and she'll lay on the counter top while your cooking.  or on top of the fridge.  Or in a cabinet. 

I'm really truly looking forward to being done with school and having my BA.  It just is taking so long.  Bah... 

And yes I'm aware I have a bunch of pictures to upload from my digital camera, but I'm feeling lazy.  MEh.

xxx and oooo

Current Mood: curious

I find myself missing my extended family. You know, you see them maybe thrice a year as a kid, thanksgiving & xmas & easter. Your extended family, your aunts and uncles and cousins, and grandparents. My family is so small I'm sure a few will be shocked.

Who usually shows up to family get-togethers:

Roger Brown- My father, the middle child of Frank and Ella Brown. Poet. Works for the Washington State Liquor Board. Likes golf, scotch, and liverwurst. Father of two children, Erin and myself.  I love him so much, and I relate to him very well.
Linda Brown- My mother, wife of Roger. Successful mother. Works for the Washington Liquor Board. Likes Houge wine. Mother of of two children, Erin and myself.  My personal hero. Enough said.
Erin Brown- My elder sister. Only comes for Xmas due to living in Chicago. Daughter of Roger and Linda Brown. Historically we haven't gotten along the best, but we are much better friends. Likes macaroni and cheese and is a vegetarian.
Nancy Steward- My aunt, my father's youngest sister. She still has the last name of her divorced husband (who is deceased) Hairdresser, self employed. Mother of two children, Whitney and Tristan. Has a dog named Ivory. Been through a lot. Aunt of mine who is most approachable for me and gives awesome hair cuts and advice.
Tim ??? - Nancy's husband and his last name escapes me. They dated for about 10 years before marrying. Photographer. Advice giving. Younger than Nancy but very devoted. Sort of a surrogate father to Whitney and Tristan.
Whitney Steward- The youngest child of Nancy and Buddy Steward, 19 years old. Sister of Tristan. Went to the University of Washington for a bit, now going to a community college for good reason. Has a cool tattoo. Cousin I can relate to best, since we are close in age, and temperament.
Triston Steward- Oldest child of Nancy and Buddy Steward. Black sheep, but beloved by all. We are closest in age, and though we don't click personality wise, but i treasure napping on separate couches with him, both of us hung over. Working somewhere. Likes graffiti artwork. Has cool tattoos.
Jennifer Falcone- Eldest child of Frank and Ella Brown, older sister of Roger and Nancy. Retired. Formerly worked at Boeing. Doesn't like soda pop.  She and Alan never had children, but they are devoted cat lovers.  I never felt especially close to her, but I do respect the shit out of her.
Alan Falcone- Jennifer's husband. Retired sixth grade teacher. ex-marine, former race car driver. He and Jennifer go racing the circuit. Likes golf, coca cola, and MnM's.  Hilarious, sensitive man.  Easily my favorite uncle (even including my mother's rarely seen side)
Ella Brown- Mother of Jennifer, Roger and Nancy.  Grandmother of Erin, Emily, Tristan and Whitney.  Retired from Fredrick's and Nelson.  Wife of Frank Brown. A great grandmother, if only because she is genuinely delighted when you stop by to hang out with her.  I sincerely wish her happiness at her cute apartment on Harbor View, out looking the Puget Sound.  At 80 years old, she totally deserves an interesting and enjoyable life. 

Current Mood: hungry

Passed.

now I take a bubble bath.

Current Mood: accomplished

I'm alive. driver's ed and my other classes are going well. I have a head cold.

I totally expected to get sick as soon as I got here, not late june. But here we are. Its been a while since I had a cold, so I'm trying to remember how you do it. So far, I'm drinking tons of water, and sleeping alot, and blowing my nose. Pretty suckie.

I switched driver teachers. Sedgewick is just too nice, says what I want to hear. So I have Anderson helping me out. He's like "you suck, but if you listen to me you will improve" So I like that better. cus I do suck. I mean, come on.

Registration for next term has already started, I need to go down there (when I'm feeling better) and do that whole thing. I have my classes picked out. I'm going to be taking 4 classes.

a comp class (req.)
a upper level writing class
a upper level english
(both req for my major, English)
and a fucking math class (req.)

They didnt take my stats, unlike the UW. I'm going to look into if I can just take a test for credit. If you get over a sixty or some such number you get credit. cus I dont want to take another fucking math class. so if I can then i might take another english class or maybe a history. eh.

Other than the cold, I'm feeling good. We've decided to not go to devin's wedding since we'd have to shell out about $2,000.00 for 2 days. That is just not worth it to us. Devin and Lindsey said they'd have it on webcam though... Well get them a nice gift.

Ryan's taking his test stuff for his job, so we're both studying. Still haven't found a lawn mower, which sucks ass since we have to mow our little section of lawn.

I have driver's ed later tonight, it freaking weak. but life ok. Hopefully this cold will go away soon and i can get on with everything.

How the hell are you guys?

Here is pics from JAPAN! They are from a trip to lake Towada, a quest to find the TOMB OF CHRIST in Japan?! Weird Signs and pretty stuff and our house. and my hair is getting longer.

http://server4.pictiger.com/albums/2741/japan/

Here is my address here in Japan.

Ryan and Emily Hopper
PSC 76 Box 2716
APO AP, 96319-00

So you can send me letters (and I might write back) or packages.

Yah. Woo. Kisses.

I loved you very much, even though you were a bit of a pain in the ass. Mostly because of your vomiting. but you were a sweet, loving kitty and I consider you one of the best cats I ever knew. I can't believe your gone. And you were only 12! I remember when we brought you home from the pet store, you were so orange and you hated being held. Little did we know that part of the reason for that was that you had a hernia. Such strange illnesses befell you my dear scruff! You were old and done before your time, but I'm happy your suffering is at an end. It was hard watching you, bad hips and all, try and fail to jump up on things that not long ago you casually leaped on and off with ease. Ryan when he was last in seattle, noticed your decline in health. He liked you very much, mostly because you would run into things sometimes and your lovely safe spot. I'll miss you Mr. Scruffy. I hope you are in a better place, with no pain anymore.

<3 <3 M and Ry

Hi! We got our internet turned on finally, but it is slow as hell. not pleased. Stuff is still not here. Applying for scholarships on the 30th. Stupid UW. I remember going in and requesting 2 official transcripts, in their office, to be processed at the end of the quarter. Oh well. And they don't like apo addresses. Today I'm going to a briefing on the drivers licenses here, and getting my permit, and signing up for driver's ed classes.

I thought about a bike, I really did. But I really need a car here. Its just too far, and during the winter, sometimes they don't allow the bike to be ridden. The shuttle they have here is useless. once an hour, and only 15 seats! Priority, of course, to people in uniform. I went to the library the other day to test the shuttle out. I think I'm just sick and tired of planning my life around something that only runs once and hour and also isn't reliable in winter (or so I hear) Car! Yes. Also, only like the kids take the shuttle.

The finance office finally changed Ryan's payment to include the dependent pay too. So we got that money back. I'll let you guys know whats going on with the drivers ed thing. I'm hoping it not on the weekends (or at least this weekend) but during the week, afternoon-ish. I really have no idea.

We are supposed to be going away this weekend with some friends to the hot springs for a night. Its by a lake and its in a national park. Hopefully, I will remember to take pictures.

We're going out for dinner off base to this restaurant that does stir-fry in front of you. He's running right now, so once he gets back and showers. During his lunch he had to come back home and we had to listen to this fire dept. rep (nice lady) give us a briefing of how to not burn down the apartment. It was mainly common sense things like "clean this and that" and how to use a fire extinguisher if the stove fire gets out of hand. And call 911. Common sense, yah? I guess they've had a lot of problems with fires in the housing here. And get this we have to go next month, both of us, to some demo thing to practice actually putting out fires. Mandatory too. Weird.

I want our stuff to come. We have temp furniture, but its 70's style and dinged up and the couch and chairs smell like cigarette smoke. The dinning room set is way nicer than ours, but a bit too big for the little dinning area. I miss our dishes and utensils and crazy little things like a whisk and other random things. I miss MY BOOKS! ARG! And that includes my comics as well. Man it was crazy, i had such an itching to read my Elfquest again just last night. In my sleepy mind i was comparing Skywise to some seventies character... cant recall now.

All for now. I need to start taking pics.

We moved out of the hotel today, got our keys and unpacked the stuff we have in our permanent residence. (well 3 years permanent) Ryan is checking out of the hotel. They came by and set up the phone, but we dont get internet until the 24th. How am I posting this you ask yourself? I'm stealing someones wireless, unsecured. Hopefully they wont notice. I'm not on aim, or on lineage 2 so as to not suck up the bandwidth. He's got to get shots today, but its good he got the day off to run around. Oh and we're getting temp. furniture! So i'm stuck here till its delivered.

Anyway, hi there I'm alive. Wooo.

Hi everyone. I had no idea that it was easter till ryan and I went to the bx (store thing) and saw eggs and bunnies and peeps.

We are in temporary housing at this hotel whose computer I'm on right now. Unfortunatly, the internet here is kinda slow but meh. I'm going to walk over to the education center to try to get the ball rolling on school.

We (Ryan, me, his bud's Sedgewick and Santos) went off base to go for dinner and some drinks. I ate horse. Oh yes. And it was goood. We also went (earlier saturday) to a bbq of a few of ryan's coworkers. There was this stray siamese cat, maybe a year old, crying. So we gave her a hamburger that had fallen on the ground (lack of appropriate food stuff) which she vigorously attacked. She was so sweet, really friendly cat, climbing on a few people (myself included) One of Ryan's supervisors she especially liked and we all convinced him to take her home and adopt her (since it was obvious from her physical state that no one was taking care of her. So ryan and I and his sups went and bought food, and a starter litter set. She smelled the food and jumped in to the back seat and ripped a hole in the bag in like 30 seconds. (this after a hamburger) She gave me hives though. But we got her all set up, and he's taking her to the vet sometime soon (cat's here have to have a microchip) to check her out and all that good stuff.

Its pretty weird here, but when your on the base its less noticable. Good to be here though.

Hey GUESS WHAT?

I'm flying away to japan (FINALLY) tommorrow. I got the call from McChord that my passport was in around 11am tues. I took 3 buses there, got it, got my fucking tickets, 3 buses back.

Today was laudery and last minute packing. Someone is suposed to be by this afternoon, so I'm thinking: hey, lets go to westwood I need to buy stuff including a book to read (or 3) and random stuff like shampoo etc.

So people were going to throw me a party, but I just got my tickets to go so fast it made their heads spin. She could have gotten them for today.

Everyone wants to hang out tonight, its cute (including the 'rents whom will be driving me to the airport and breakfast and all that.) Phill is like "I will bode no arguement; we will hang out tonight." Emma I'm hoping is going to join me on the shopping *shudder* excursion.

BEN- I have your book. The Tar-Aiym Krang
i have other random stuff. I think i'm going to give Kat my waffle iron.

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY DAY!

I have an 18 hour lay over in tokyo too. and thats ok.

Current Mood: excited

So there's this Disney movie, the Robinsons, and the end of the preview there is the bad guy's henchmen, a t-rex trying to grab a boy in the corner but he cant get at him and tells his boss...

"Why haven't you grabbed the boy?" -Bad Guy
"I have a big head..." -T-rex
"... and little arms." wiggles his arms - T-rex

and that is why he can't get in the corner.

ITs just fabulous and makes me laugh everytime I see it.

In other news, I'm in purgatory. I want my passport to come so bad that I've started bargining with god. She is not full filling her side of the bargin though. I've offered up to have all of my offspring babtized. She's not taking. I only do this when I am truely desprete. I miss my husband. I need it to go. I really really want to go as soon as I can.

I try to post positive in this journal, so this was half and half. MEH.

My dad is the fucking man!

He and I went up to inventory the storage unit with ryan and mine's stuff in it, totally packed.

Very daunting. I was honestly just hoping for us to get to the big tall things that I'd have trouble doing myself, but nope.

We did 106 items. Like 99% of the stuff. And by "did" I mean we measured the dimensions of the boxes and record the contents and put a numbered sticker on it.

I do need to go there tomorrow and buy large boxes for the remaining loose stuff.

But its like... pretty much taken care of.

Got to type up the list though of course, but its like... fucking ready to go.

Final tommorrow and the final paper due too.

Oh OH ! And I heard from Ryan! he was on a 9 hour flight to Tokyo and he's got a weird layover (like 24 hours) so he was in a tiny hotel and he hoped online and said hi.

Anyway I'm just so relieved to get a big dent in that inventory crap.

M- Transcripts Dear, Transcripts.

I move as soon as i get my passport in the mail. so like a month.

Peace out kids

Current Mood: ecstatic

Ryan has his final test today.

My passport application is final off to be processed. 5 weeks I should be ready to go to Japan.

Very happy.

Finals time, blah. But its working out.

I am so packed already, and ready to go. I have 7 boxes, and 2 storage units packed. I also have my bag of clothes i'm ready to live out of. all that isnt packed are large things like: the futon frame and mattress, the rug, the tv stand, the tv, computer monitor and hard drive, the computer speakers, and other accessories.

and those essentials like my mp3 player, cd player, headphones, school books, notepads, pens, assorted papers, alarm clock, my backpack, and bedding.

I am so ready to go.

I just realized that I'm have lunch with my buddy Phill and I need to run to the pharmacy and pick up a prescription and
if Ryan is flying in this friday, as a phone message has indicated, it would be a good idea to get that...

YAh

Wooo

How is everyone else doing?

Current Mood: happy
