I moved the majority of my stuff into Alma today. Tim helped, which was nice because I sure do have a lot of stuff. There's still more at home that I'll have to move next week. However, it's strange because I think that each year I move in I end up having less and less stuff, which seems like it'd be the opposite. Whatev though, I don't feel like I'm missing anything. Next week when I get the rest of my stuff up here (aka camera) I'll take a pic of the dorm room... it looks sweet this year.
I'm just here in Alma for the weekend- I have one more week at Bobs back home, Hootie and the Blowfish on the 3rd and then officially back in Alma for the year. I'm excited, though I think there is still a lot of stuff that I haven't finished yet in preparation for the semester. There is one week left though, so maybe I'll be ready. I'll update later on as to how the summer went- the short of it is that it was super busy and I did a lot/missed out on a lot. But that's another day- I'm all tuckered out from this moving stuff. |

So tonight we saw the musical "Curtains" and it was pretty cool as far as musicals go. Much different than "Spring Awakening" last night, but still cool. Had more of a classic musical feel to it. After the show the director and some of the actors/actresses met with the group to talk to us,. since Joe (the theater teacher) knows the woman in the show, who is pictured on the poster next to me in the first picture amongst the glare. They were cool, they stood on the stage and we were in the first few rows to ask them questions, but the Q&A session was pretty short as the ushers wanted to get the theater closed.  . . After the show, we went outside and this guy was standing around to take pictures with. David Hyde Pierce, the guy from Fraiser. He was in the play, as you can see on the playbill below too that he signed before the picture. He brought his own sharpie to sign things, so that was pretty cool. So yeah, there I am with a famous dude. I wasn't jumping and squeaking at him like some of the girls, but it was defnitely a picture-worthy moment, if just for posting here on LJ.    And that's really all I have for now, so maybe something exciting tomorrow will happen too. I'll take a picture if it does. |

Here are some pictures.... a few of me, but mostly random buildings that looked interesting. I figured I'd post them on here, because apparently Tim has already seen pictures of the city, but maybe someone else will be interested in taking a look. Or maybe not, but they're here regardless. Things in the city have been going well, I really like it here and surprisingly enough, the theater kids are being nice ot me. Well, they've divided themselves into 2 groups, but I've been accepted to one, so that's nice. I'm not wandering around by myself. Though I would. I think it would be nice to move here, where its sooo crowded, you wouldn't have to make friends and be all social, you could walk around here for years and not be noticed if you didn't want to be. For as many people as there are around, it seems pretty private in the sense that everyone is so preoccupied with themselves or whatever that they just leave you alone. Yup, I like it here. So far, the performances have been good.Spring Awakening was awesome, and I highly recommend that people look into it. More to come later, but here are the pics.        |

Listening to Social Distortion is wonderful, and it's making for a great end of day. I should invest more time in listening to them. And to blogging, because I like doing it but for some reason I haven't been; this is weird because the lack of blogs happened right about when I finally got around to having nothing to do. How weird is that.
In other news, I got the internship for the fall. AND IT'S PAID!!! Which is sweet, because I didn't think it would be, so I was fretting a tad about what to do. And it seems like a heck of a lot of fun at the public access tv station, so woot woot to that, and to Doc Gilbert for finding me the internship. Life is working out well.
And I'm going to apply for a summer research grant... I really hope I get it. It's $675 to carry out original research and then present the findings around Thanksgiving time to the Michigan Academy of something or other. I think it'd be sweet, even though Tim thinks I'm crazy for wanting to do more work. But I've written some research proposals, so it'd be really awesome to have the opportunity to actually carry out the research and see what happens. And the grant would pay for the materials and things I would need for the research, which would be tremendously awesome. It would help with grad school too, because I'd have experience and it'd be a real accomplishment to show off. I'm sure that there are lots of other people applying for this too (believe it or not), but it's worth a shot anyway. So fingers crossed there, the decision is made the 30th or something. I'm meeting with my prof/advisor chick Janie tomorrow to discuss it.
I'm kinda looking forward to NY. It's gonna suck to be not working, and thus only spending money because that situation has been sucky lately, but I think that it will be quite the experience regardless. Though I will miss my dirtball a lot. And Giselle and Bert the turtle. Bertle. Yeah, and most other people too, though as well all know there are more than a few people who I wish would just wander off forever.
And on the note of forever... Saturday Tim and I celebrated 1 year. We went golfing, and that is how we ended up with Bert the turtle. He was on the green and so we caught him in a gatorade bottle and that was that. And Tim got me the prettiest pearl necklace, which is awesome because a) he really does listen! and b) I don't have to wait til Christmas to get one! That rocks! Life is good these days.

I'm tired of the drama.
So take that kids.... |
|
|
Section 1 is finished... all sources used, and it's eeking onto the 7th page.
Hmm.... I want some breakfast! Unfortunately, Saga doesnt open for another hour or so, so I'm stuck here writing... but progress is being made. |
|
|
So, I'm up to 8 sources. And another half page. And now, a rant as well.
What the hell do people really have friends for? To share fun times, life experiences and problems? So you can just go off at one point or another and totally disregard the fact that they've been there for you on one occasion or another, or most likely, if you're friends, many occasions that involve drunk dialing, relationship issues, dead goldfish or some combination of these things. So why, if you have these people who are there to tell you partially what you want to hear and partially what you need to hear, whether you accept it or not.... why do you disregard them for doing exactly what theyr'e supposed to - being your friend? Sometimes I get frustrated with this, because if you do feel a certain way, why the hell would you openly blog/message/converse about this where said friends can see that they really dont mean shit? WTF is that crap anyway.
I think that I need some space. You know, I'm very busy academically. |

Not particularly. Work was slow, but Tim was here when I woke up so that was wonderful; then he came to work to keep me company for the first hour of the morning. And let me tell you, business did not pick up from then.
Then, I came back here to do some homework. So far I've accomplished a shower, making some coffee and soup, trimming my cuticles.... and I made a powerpoint presentation for my Brit Lit class. The real problem here is the fact that, as I was gathering info for the presentation, I started finding really interesting stuff. And I can now tell you all about him; how many kids he had, what he was interested in, the dates he reigned as King, etc. All sorts of sweet info; far too much for the presentation and not what I should have been doing with my time. But here are some links, because he's cool. And he is the only British King to never have an affair. And, his wifey Charlotte had 15 kids... they didn't all live, but there were 15 of them buggers that she popped out... Some info on Georgie and then also the list of his kids. He's pretty cool, even though he's pretty unpopular as the guy who lost the colonies.
So then... I have to write my audit thingy and my proposal thingy. And those are the two big projects... but it's cool, because I'm not sleeping again... I know, it's probably not very good for me, but there are so many hours that are just wasted away... sleeping... So, if you're up and wanna talk, odds are, I'll be around. Drinkin some coffee and thinkin about homework. Or the fish game, because I'll probably play that too intermittently, to keep myself awake. I love the fish game!

There are 10 days... I feel like I should be freaking out about all the stuff I have to turn in within the next 10 days... but really I'm not. And that's kind of a scary thought too... I realize that things need to get done, but I'm very confident that it'll work out. Scary. The list: 1) Brit Lit presentation, I'm guesstimating around the 11th or 13th, but who knows. We haven't prepared at all, except coming up with the idea to bring a mason jar with blue water to class... to represent the part of our movie where King George III was peeing blue. It's pretty interesting, and I think the jar will give the presentation some pizzaz. Luckily, I already have blue food coloring and everything... so something is prepared. I need to get the movie clips put onto a DVD, I'll figure that out sometime this week. 2) Audit project... the presentation is the 11th, and the paper is due the 13th. It's a huge paper, and have we started it? Of course not. I have a group, but they haven't made much effort or shown much concern for the project. So... I imagine I'll be writing the majority of that. 3) I also have 5 more annotated bibliographies to do by the 13th... I mean, he reduced the requirement to 12 instead of 15, but I really should do those 3 for extra credit, because I imagine I'll need all the extra points I can find. 4) My research proposal... It needs some serious work, but at least I have an idea now on how to propose the research. I met with the prof. today, and we discussed this, which is good, because that was my main dilemma. I have the question, I have the research, but I didn't know how to go about proposing my idea because it didn't fit into the format that everything else has been done it. So woot woot, I'm on track there and can go forward from here. That's due the 12th, when I present it and turn it in. I'm a bit scared, because the grade for class is mostly based on this. Then, on the night of the 13th and 14th, I will be very drunk. I'm excited. The 14th my sister is having a birthday party at the casino, and I'll be drinkin there too. I can't wait, I need a break from thinking about all this work. Oy. And the week of the 16-20... finals... ugh. The Brit Lit final is on Monday, from 2-4. That means I can go to the bar Sunday night too :) All my other finals are papers... and they're due on Tues, Wed and Fri. Ack. But this will not deter me from the drinking, because dammit, I can! Overall, I'm feeling very positive about this all. It kind of reminds me of the end of last year... which reminds me of being drunk and falling down the stairs... I'm ready for it! Now, however, I will go do some highlighting until it's time to go see Lo and watch the I <3 NY season finale! woot woot.... homework...

since I'm not working. And here's the math lesson for today, the day after Leprechaun day: work=money, but ramen noodles require very little money, so essentially... you don't need to work to have ramen noodles. Woot woot to that! Because man have I been busy lately. And even though I'm not at Bobs today, I'm still doing work- the 'home' kind of work. I'm still too busy to sleep, and I wish I could get more than like 5 hours every night (you know, sometimes I get less by not sleeping at all, so that makes it 5 hours every other night). And, I'm not sure I'm making a whole lot of progress. I mean, I'm doing a lot, but I don't see a lot of progress. WTF? On the bright side, the weather is getting wayyy nicer, and so I'm feeling optimistic. Regardless of everything that's stressful and needs to be done right away, the weather is nice so I have some hope...

Totally accurate. Much like how I've been feeling about life lately; I'd love a cookie. I'd put it in my back window, so that's sweet.

Work was slow slow slow busy busy kid threw up gross gross slow.
And my feet hurt.
And I don't want to work tomorrow, but I have to because I need $, and I'd rather save the points.
Plus, I've decided that I'm not sleeping anyway, so might as well go.
Oy with the busy schedule, I feel very rushed now, like everything is all due at once. In one month. Shit shit!
Also, I guess the flu is going around, but hopefully the grapefruit will save me. And the crap-ton of Echinacea that I've started taking, as of an hour ago. I'd like ot sleep to help strengthen my immune system, but [bleep], I just don't have the time. Ugh. I'm le tired.

So here's the news: I'm now a pixie. I've got a new haircut and a new screenname (aTrickyPixie), and thus it is like a new persona. Kind of like MCR makeing themselves into the Black Parade or whatever.... but I'm not so creepy. I can make my hair into a mohawk though. And I dont have to brush it. Woot woot! I do not miss the long hair. PIXIE!!! I'm also all tweaked out on coffee today... I got some new stuff last night, and it's the Starbucks Sumatra stuff claiming to be 'extra bold' which, roughly translated, means candi-on-speed. I'm all shaky/jumpy, super hyper, and have like 4 thoughts going at once. It's hard to focus, but I think it's making me more productive overall. And I only had the equivalent of 3 cups.... Man, I'll need to start with the teeth whitening strips again. I really felt like writing each of these snippets as individual blog entries, but then thought that you, my loyal fanbase (see, the cofffee, it has made my ego go superfast too), may be upset with all of the random entries. Thus, we have one big entry. Mr. Dirtball and myself went to Chicago. It was nice, we saw some whales. And some history. And some Victoria's Secret. And the wind tried to blow me over, that was not so cool. Actually, it was damn cold. And my feet, oh how they hurt. Damn shark week and the negative effects on my feet, when I most needed to use them. Oy, maybe next time I will be in a more pleasant mood. The train was alright though, I took dramammine and napped, so no grossness there. Woot woot! This morning was a great disappointment. I got the grapefruits last night, 18lbs of them. You know, so I can eat them and suffer, because they are gross and I don't like them, but eat them for my health. I like the bad taste, it means that I'm suffering for a cause. You know, the funny faces I make while eating them indicate that they're working, because everything that's really good for you tastes really bad. BUT NO! These grapefruits, at least the one I've eaten so far.... it was almost.... well, tasty. I was happily eating the grapefruit. WTF? Maybe it has to do with being a pixie, maybe they like grapefruits. I don't know. But oy, I miss the suffering. I'm kind of more tan too, I went tanning last night. It was nice. I love tanning. I need to re-pot my shamrocks today. I saved my Sumatra super-powered coffee grounds for the occasion, because if they have this effect on me, imagine the plants! WOOT! I need to get new soil and another pot, because these plants are growing out of control! I can't even keep cacti alive, but shamrocks, I've got it covered! ITS MARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps this is why I can keep the shamrocks and nothing else... It's March! I love March! It's got St. Pattys Day!!!! MY CONCEPTION DAY! THE OFFICAL DAY TO START MY BIRTHDAY COUNTDOWN! I'm thrilled, March is my favorite month. Leprechauns and shamrocks and green colors, oooohhhhh the excitement!
*and, the casino sent me another thing with $15 slot monies a week, so I'm in luck there. The sheets are all colored green, so it's lucky! AND I'll actually be able to go to the end of the month drawing, so who knows, maybe I'll be lucky! I once ate a 4-leaf clover you know.... Ahh, you see, I'm still all sorts of hyper.... I need to have some lunch and maybe I'll calm down. I also have to stop by the business office and give them another $500 for spring term, which means I'm down to only owing them $547 after today. Woot. And I got another credit card in the mail today, so that's fun. I can, like, transfer some balances and stuff. Sweet! I'm actually excited to be back at school. I've got a set schedule to do things, I've got coffee and I've got books! Plus, my friends. All I'm missing is a dirtball, but soon enough that will be fixed too! woot woot! I'm off to be hyper elsewhere, although I'm sure I'll post more things later on....

So, I borrowed this from Ashley's journal (I hope you don't mind)... It came out pretty interesting, albeit predictable as a result of the options provided. Still a good thing to check out early in the morning though, wayyy better than homework but not as good as still being in bed.
, you're now logged in!
Below you'll find your test result. After, continue on to your homescreen to discover what we're about.
8 - the Asserter
Thanks for taking the test ! |

- sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
- never forgetting injuries or injustices
- putting too much pressure on myself
- getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when things don't go right
Eights as Children Often

So earlier today, I was checking my email and decided to get a haircut. Like, the M&M's website is always sending me emails and updates, and today they had a link to their Become an M&M website (I just realized now too that it is also the advertisement currently featured on AIM) Anyhow, I made myself as an M&M: this would be Candi's M&M makeover!
 Then I decided that I do in fact want my hair to be all short and spiky like this... I realize that it's extremely short and wayyy different than my hair currently... but eh, it'll grow out. I'm going on a search right now to find more pictures of real people hair like this. I think Monday is the day, since I don't have to work. Just a doctor and dentist appt. ***PIXIE**
