Time to sing.

As the "ker-plink" of hail hit the window of my dorm room, I get about for AIM messages of "OHMIGOODNESS...it's snowing." to which I am required to reply..."Honey...snow doesn't sound like that." lol. Looking outside it is like a snow/hail bit. It's a mix.

And then life will be good. This next week could not possibly go by any faster. I am now going to go and finish this paper, and then go to bed! But, before I do that, let me enlighten every one to what has be doing the happy dance:

MY ROOMMATE IS MOVING OUT!!!!

and that is all. Good night.

UT vs. LSU

I need a new word. One that describes, not a day, but the last time period of things going on. Like, the last episode of my life...yes. I think that will be what I use from now on...

So in the last episode of my life (Friday @ 10pm to Sunday early morning.) has been one of excitment. It always is. lol. Here's what's going down...in the normal font color (what ever appears on your friends page (mine is white...) are THINGS that have happened, and in a corrosponding color are the way those things made me feel. Ready for this?

• Went to a party at Haley's apartment because it was her birthday....we got pizza and a movie and junk food, and me, Matt, Haley (even though she went to bed before midnight), Heather, and other random people that only stopped by for a little bit watched tv and ate all night. good stuff. We went to bed around one in the morning (and it was just me and heather chilling in the living room. She fell asleep first and I was watching tv.
  
• At 3:30 in the morning (just like every morning) Jake called me. I don't think I've talked much about him, but we've been best friends since 7th grade and we talk every night on the phone. We didn't when I lived in Germany, but before I moved to Germany we did, and then when I was there we talked like, on holidays and stuff like that, but we would chat and e-mail each other. But since I've been back in America he has called me every night, sometimes twice a night. (and I know this is random but...) on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays I just talk to him at 3ish in the morning because he gets off work at midnight, and he lives in Washington, so he calls me on his way home from work. Then on Tuesdays and Thursdays I call him during the day and wake him up and then he calls me again that night we he gets off work. Some times we talk about stuff, but even when there is nothing to say, we call, just for the sake of calling. I guess we're making up for lost time.) but yeah. This will be important later on....
• At 7:30 in the morning I woke up and turned the TV and the heater off, and then i went back to sleep on the couch.
• At 10:00 I guess the door woke me up, but I sort of twisted around to see the door and Matt was standing in the doorway and it scared the crap out of me and AH! lol. I jumped up and yeah. It was morning, and I was awake with no chance of going back to bed. Matt was there to get painted up for the game, and then Buck showed up to get painted as well. It was a lot of fun.
  
• At 12:30ish I left the apartment and went back to campus so that I could shower, and put my orange attire on (stripped socks, capirs and white Tennessee t-shirt .....) and then I left to go and meet up with the rest of everybody. Gah. I called Matt and he was like "We'll be leaving in like, 15 minutes, so just wait at the institute building (cause that's where I was parked, and they had to park there, and it takes 15 minutes to walk from the institute to Haley's, so it just made more sense to wait there...) well, 35 minutes later they FINALLY show up....had to wait for Haley to get ready.
• We all met up, me, Darth Vol, Haley's the Orange Pirate, and Buck, the local celebrity (he paints his bald head with checkers and he is ALWAYS in the newspapers and all over ESPN on game days.) and we made out walk down to the stadium.

• While at the game the most interesting thing happened. Jake usually calls me really late, but my phone rang and it said it was him, so I answered it, well, turns out it was his most recent girlfriend. I think they've been dating for two weeks, but she called and he final words were "Don't call my fucking boyfriend you bitch" and she hung up. Well, needless to mention he's usually the one calling me and we've been friends for going on five years, and that most definitely trumps two weeks, I was a little bit (read extremely) upset. So yeah.
• We lost the football game. It's cause of the bad karma. Well, actually, it's because Tennessee hasn't been playing football, they just keep getting lucky. We actually were winning, until the last 10 seconds of the game, we just couldn't hold our ground. It sucked.
• After the game we walked back to Haley's apartment where I cooked a pizza and we watched football till one in the morning (except for when I got a phone call from Chrissy and it made my night better because of Jake's psycho girl friend.) and then I ended up here....typing this up for all of my (Chrissy) adoring fans. Haha.
  

YEAH FOR WEEKENDS!!!

What does that meeeeean?

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change the courage to

change the things i can and the wisdom to know the difference..."

I had decided not to go to church tonight. But then some one called and said they

were going to pick me up and take me.

I don't know whether or not to find this person's actions rude, or consider it a sign.

I am not very objective, because what I want fully depends on me and what I think.

I wish I had no feelings.

Yet again I got in....extremely late last night. It seemed like the numbers worked out nicely last time, so I shall try that again!

1. Yesterday when I got back I went to bed around 7:30 or 8, and then I slept for an hour. It wasn't like, relaxing sleep, because I had to wake up in time to be at the church by 10 in the morning (so leaving at 9:30, so being awake by nine....) and so it was more of a closing my eyes and trying to just relax a bit, even if I wasn't sleeping.
2. At nine I woke up, got church clothes on and went to the church. There was another baptism of one of of my friends, and so I went to support her. She's this tiny cute little girl (except she's in her lower 20's) and she is SO happy all the time. I like her a lot, and I knew she would be disappointed if I didn't show up. Lol, she was so happy to see me that she ran out of the picture they were trying to take to 'tackle' me.....i guess is how to describe it. :P
3. After the baptism we chilled for a little bit, then I had to get my car washed because I parked under a tree and had these tiny little seeds stuck all over my car, and I ended up paying $60 to get it all taken off. Which is kind of sucky, but they cleaned the inside really good too. lol. eh. I'm not going to think about it.
4. After that I was supposed to go to a Halloween party at 3, and I had planned on getting there around 5:30, cause it was going to last until 6, but I decided not to. (Cause I was asleep, and each time my alarm went off, I would set it for later, and I finally just turned it off.)
   
5. Tonight for the football game they were supposed to go to this one guy's house, but instead we decided to go to Kelsey's house (because there were no adults there....lol. It's her grandparent's house, but they were out of town....) The game started at 7:45, and I left my dorm at 7:45 and got there around 8:15 (cause I got lost, it should of only taken me 15 minutes, but oh well. We ate food and watched Tennessee win at South Carolina! WOOT! It was a good game to watch, and a lot of fun to just hang out with every one. I really enjoyed it.
   
6. After the game most people left, we ended up with Me, Kelsey, Matt, Brian and Lyndsi there and we watched a movie (She's the Man) and just sort of laid around. I love hanging out with these people. Even doing nothing is cool! lol.
   

Last night I ended up getting home around 3:30, but it was really 2:30 because of daylight savings...so all is good. This morning I am going to church twice...well...sort of. I am going to sacrement meeting, and then sunday school, and then I am going to MY sacrement meeting, and then I will be off like a mad man to go get ready for my concert!!! lol. I am expecting quite a few of my friends to show up, but I'm not getting my hopes TOO high. In any case, my concert is at for, we are performing Mozart's Requiem and Ave Verum (both Mozart pieces, the first being 51 minutes in length) and then I will probably go back to my dorm and SLEEP!!! lol. Something I haven't gotten much of this weekend, but that is honestly ok to me, because I had an awesome time!

Me....and my hair...lol. It may not look like much, but it's fluffy!

MORE LATER....

I will be putting up the rest of my pictures after church/concert. :P

Staying Strong, All-night Long...

So, tonight I pulled my first "all-nighter". I mean, I've stayed up till five in the morning, slept for two hours and gone to class, but it is 7 in the morning and I am still going strong. lol. Here's how the day played out:

1. I went to my English class where we had get to know you friday, which officially is my favorite waste of time. We pick a question, then as she goes down the roll call we each answer the question and today's question was "What is your most irrational fear" and that took up like 45 of the 55 minutes of the class, then she talked about signing up for english 102, and we were done! WOOT!
2. I took the bus to my dorm...now what I did there is a complete mystery because I don't remember, but I do remember leaving my dorm, walking to the bus stop, then getting off the EW to catch the NS bus, and that was a hoot! lol. Not really a problem, just kind of a pain since it was raining.
3. I took the bus to the institute building where we have friday forum every friday. Pretty much a different ward/stake/area member comes and talks to the group that shows up for about an hour and we eat free food. I mean.....free food. I would come if I wasn't mormon! lol. The thing is, today the speaker came early, and some one else was there early, but they got there when brother R was gone to get the food, so they thought it had been canceled so they left....so really it was just free food with interesting converstation about different parts of church history.
4. After that I sat on the back porch of the institute building with John and we talked for about 3 hours about History. Mostly WW2 and all the different aspects of that. But it was fun and interesting, because John is such a sweety. WOOT! lol. he really is a great guy. But then we were talking, and i lost track of time, and I realized it was 3:30, and my choir rehearsal started at 3:30, so I was like "ah!" and Matt showed up at the oppertune moment to offer me a ride so i didn't have to walk in the rain! YEAH! lol.
   
5. I then had choir rehearsal where we practised Mozart for 2 and a half hours straight. EH. I am really starting to not like music as much as I used to.....sadly. But it was good. Our concert is on Sunday, and it is going to be amazing. =D
6. After choir rehearsal I went to dinner with some choir friends. Ok...gay people talk about sex more then any one I have ever met. There was not one remark at the table that was not sexual in some way. And it was very uncomfortable, but at the same time funny. :P 3 gay men and 2 straight girls in the perfect combination. It's interesting...like...they hug and kiss me (cheek...) and it honestly doesn't seem like anything to me. I am such a touchy feelly person, and I know that I kind of stopped being that way when i moved to germany, but OH i like it. lol. (That was not sexual at all...just honestly what i was thinking.)
7. After the dinner I had like 30 minutes to find and put together a costume, and so I wrapped a sheet around myself, and I am going to have to put this stuff back on because every thought I was wearing a formal....it was very amusing. like, honestly, if I had owned this sheet bad in highschool....I would've worn it to prom. I shall try and get a picture up soon. :P
8. So I got ready and WENT to the halloween party, which was not the high light of the evening, but it was most definatly fun. lol. A little bit of dancing, some apple bobbing, a sack race and a costume contest, but like, I dunno. I may go into that more later...but probably not. It was just odd.....BUT:
9. From there a group of us went to IHOP and I didn't think I would need money, so I didn't money or anything, and it kind of made me laugh, because in Germany I never would've considered needing money at any sort of church function, but here we hang out, then we go to a church thing, the we go eat, then we hang out more! It's pretty intense! lol. (For example, yesterday, we went to a baptism....then we went out to dinner. It was good. But yeah....any who. ALWAYS...lesson learned.) But I just got water, cause I had eaten a a little bit before (previously when I mentioned dinner, while I did have a sandwhich in front of me only about three bites made it into my mouth....Chrissy, this conversation was.....eh. Like...ew.....lol. Gayness is something very new to me. but we spent the time talking about what they do when drunk! it was...disturbing, yet amusing. lol. But yeah, not much food eaten there. So when we went to IHOP (I was almost tempted to type iHop...haha...) I just got water, 1) cause i didn't have money and 2) cause I had eaten a bit before and was planning on going home to eat a bit more. Well, apparently that's not allowed, and....completely with out asking me and ANYTHING this guy (his name is Brian he's obviously nicer then I thought he was....) ordered me a smiley face chocolate chocolate chip pancake. ha ha. It was amazing.
   
10. So, after that my ride left with out me, so I ended up at Kelsey's house for the "Let's watch Montey Pithon" cause that's what we quoted at dinner (ok...dinner started at midnight....) and after mr. montey we told ghost stories, and then after that we watched saved, and then after that it was 7 in the mornning and My Pancake hero gave me a ride home
    
11. and now I'm here.... writing a journal entry at 7:23 in the morning!
    

Isn't life beautiful? I had a wonderful night. The most recent funny thing is the guys out side my window that keep repeating the Rufio chant from Hook where the leader goes "Rufio, rufio," and the lost boys yell "RU-FI-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" So yeah. My most recent amusment. I am going to go now because I have a baptism to go to at 10. And I am thinking I can go and get a nice big breakfast and WOOT. Man...i am relaxing this weekend, it is going to be awesome....except sunday, which is going to be stressful. But oh well.
