I've got swollen lymph noids!

On Monday I had plans to go to the gym after class. I worked all day, went to class and met Jeremy Jay at the gym at 8 PM. I had to change shirts at the gym and I had noticed earlier in the day that my pants seemed to fit a little strange. When i sat i had a little pooch in the front and no room in the trunk. i was slightly concerned....
Well, after wearing these pants all day I realized I had worn the backwards!
I had them on backwards for about 8 hours before I even knew.


Onto more important things...

Finals are kicking my butt! I miss hanging out with everyone a lot. We need to plan a lunch soon. I will be here for most of the holidays so we have to hang out. Now on to funnier things.
If only I had a funny story. I have been staring at the screen for about 5 minutes now.
Yesterday I ordered a pizza, well 2 actually. It was only a dollar more to get an extra one so I did. The pizza guy's name is Lloyd. He has been delivering my pizza for over a year now. He is a retired Vietnam vet. He is pleasant and easy to get along with. The only problem is that he will talk for 20 minutes when delivering 1 pizza.
I have seen pictures of his daughter who is my age. I know where she goes to school and which instrument she plays.
I ended up eating almost an entire medium pizza myself. I have no idea how that happened. I think I am in hibernation. I sleep a lot more than normal and eat even more.
I have sworn off boys. Too much trouble. Does anyone know when the next Austin dance is? I want to go.
I went out with this Baylor football player. Man that was a mistake. Everything you have heard about them is true. Ugh.
Thats about it for now. I will come back when I have a good story.

Heman

So Justin and Keller came by Sunday night. We were all dorks and played on our computers for like an hour. The we decided we would go to Ghetto Denny's at 11pm. Justin said if we went any earlier it just wouldn't seem right. So a couple minutes before 11 we all go outside and I drive separate from them. When I am a couple blocks away Keller calls and says to come back. I get back to my house and Justin's car will not start. It just made this weird clicking noise. Justin thinks it might just be a fuse. Keller is a gimp so he sits in the car. He has been wounded from my puppy jumping all over him. Justin is pulling out each plug and looking it over. Then he pulls out the one for power windows and drops it. It fell down a crack next to the battery where it could not be reached. We tried for a long time. Neither of us had anything to unscrew the battery to get it out. I got a huge kitchen knife and Justin managed to push the plug under the battery. Wonderful. So he decides he doesn't need power windows after all and we switch some of the plugs around to see if it will help. Nothing works. He calls his parents. They suggest pushing it so he can pop the clutch. Since Keller can't exactly push the car he sits on the curb and watches. I can't drive stick so that leaves me to push Justin's car by myself slightly uphill. I push as hard as I can and Justin leans out yelling "faster, go faster". I really was trying. I could feel the burn in my legs. Finally Justin Yells, "Move!" I jump out of the way and he takes off in reverse. Yay! That charade took about half an hour and by that time I was too tired to eat. The End.

Nut Farm

On Friday afternoon I had to go to the pharmacy to pick up some meds. When I get upstairs in the SLC there is a guy standing kind of near the pharmacy counter but not directly in front of it. I asked if he was waiting and he said he was. Now I try not to be judgmental, but this guy stunk! I mean stunk like he had not bathed for 2 weeks, played with some skunks and then ate a bunch of curry. His fingernails were very long, longer than most girls' and he was about my height. His hair was greasy and long. So I stand behind him for a minute and then I ask if he had rung the bell to get help. He looked confused but said he had. About 5 minutes later the pharmacist comes up to the counter and asks if he needs help. He gives the pharmacist his prescription and she tells him to have a seat because it will be a little bit. So I hand my stuff in and go sit. The greasy guy, Michael, begins to pace and talk to himself a little. A super flamboyant gay guy comes and sits next to me and just starts jabbering right away. He says, "I am smokin', let me tell you. They didn't have one of my medications. I had to go back to the doctor to get a whole new prescription filled out because now I have to take it somewhere else! I am so mad!" So he sits and complains for a few more minutes. While this is happening Michael is pacing and only pauses for a moment each lap to stick his head back in the pharmacy. He peers in for a minute and then keeps pacing. Finally they call his name. The gay guy says he thinks that guy "is a few fries short of a happy meal". Haha. Then they call greasy guy's name and he takes off. Then gay guy is called and he says, "Goodbye! I am off to take my happy-pills!"

Cripples

Now that Keller is a cripple I don't think we can be friends anymore. Deerhoof is playing in Houston in early November. Yay!!! Robbie just walked out of the office and called me a "glial cell" and then said he was going to "myelinate" me. Haha. That sounds serious. Watch out! He said he wanted to quit smoking (hooray!), but I have seen him smoke some lately. I keep hiding his lighters. I have a stockpile of them in my sock drawer. Haha. He has no idea and he gets all flustered when he can't find one.

I need a workout buddy, anyone interested? I have only been to the gym 1 time all semester. Man I am a bum. However, I did have a push-up contest with Robbie. I lost. We wanted to see who could do the most push-ups with their feet on one of those big balls, and our noses had to touch the ground with each push-up. Man I sucked at first. I got 2 and then fell off the ball. Hey, stop laughing. It's a lot harder than it sounds. But, I will have everyone know I am officially up to 6 as of today. Got tickets? *pow pow*.

All the girls I am in grad school with are really bubbly, which is not a bad thing in small doses, unfortunately they are humonguously peppy. I guess I shouldn't complain. I would probably be worse off if they were all cynical and ignored me.

What is everyone doing/ going to be for halloween?

The Blueberry Incident

So I went to Vitek's for lunch for the first time ever today. I got the "Gut Pack". It was goooooood. But before that I was sitting in my butterfly chair reading the Animal Farm when all of a sudden my chair flipped backwards. I crashed to the floor, ripping my book, and landing right on my tail bone. Ouch! I was in major pain. I had to lay there a few minutes to catch my breath. When I could walk I went to the freezer and realized I don't have any ice. Wonderful. So I subsituted ice with a bag of frozen blueberries. Seemed like a good idea. I was laying on the floor watching tv and when I got up Robbie started laughing. The bag leaked all over me. I was blue all on my backside! I was all sticky and blue. "Violet, you're turning violet, Violet."
I'm in pain.

New Apartment and Laziness

So, if you haven't heard, the new apartment is great. I like it a lot. Justin came by the other night and we pulled up a plank in the closet floor. Underneath was the ground, just dirt. Weird, but a very good hiding spot. I even have pictures hanging on the walls now. Everyone is invited to stop by. Looks like I will be putting grad school off until spring because not all of my paperwork was processed on time. I thought...a break from school sounds nice. Man I am bored. I feel like such a rich housewife. All I did Tuesday was sit around and eat ice cream while I watched Gilmore Girls. I need a job! Any suggestions?
The puppy is great. Her retrieving instincts finally hit and she fetches now. Brilliant! The people that live upstairs have a chihuahua, a fluffy little dog and a puppy. The chihuahua, Gucci, is the male and Penelope is the female. They had this puppy together. Penelope hates Bannon (my puppy) and constantly barks at her. So much so that Bannon, who is two times as large as Penelope, runs back inside the apartment. It's pretty funny. I need a black couch, if anyone is getting rid of one let me know.
Well my goal for today is to buy a bathroom rug before having dinner with friends at 7:30. I better start getting ready. Busy busy busy. :P
