One of the girls on that stupid show that I watch about Underbellies actually made me laugh just now. She said, "Let's pretend I'm not a gay unicorn."

It was pretty good.

So I got to work today and I found that the girls had bought me a t-shirt. Its a black Joe's Crab shack shirt. They bought it for me because there was a half off employee appreciation day at the store and they forgot to tell me about it. But the truth was, I had heard them talking about it. They always talk about things that they think I can't hear. I am not letting them know that I can hear them. It was pretty sweet of them to buy it for me though and it made me feel pretty good. Its a little snug. I feel like I am going to have to loose 10 more pounds before it feels alright.

I have been listening to the Microphones like crazy. I can't tell if listening to them made me sad, or it being sad made me listen to them. But anyways, I was pretty sad today during work. Having a job makes me feel really trapped. I feel imprisoned if you will.

I am going to embark on a project to put quotes on my walls. The first two will be the thing that Lacey said on facebook that I REALLY like and a Joanna Newsom quote that I feel pertains to me. I am not sure how I am going to do it. I would like to paint the walls, but that is not supposed to happen, so I am sure I will use some sort of paper.

I am going to Trivia Night at Apple-bee's with John and Jamie. I said I was going to go last week but I pussed out on them because I didn't have that much money. I still don't have that much money, but its enough I guess. I am interested to see what their friends are like. John doesn't seem to have much luck with friends as far as I have seen. BK and I met John's high-school friends and found them totally unacceptable. John know shares that view as well - or a similar view. Also, the two friends that John and Jamie moved in with at the beginning of the summer refused to pay any rent. Which is completely mind-boggling. They have moved out of that place already and are no longer in contact with those people.

I forgot that I did not tell everyone about the curry kitchen. This new place that John and Jamie moved into, when they first moved in, the kitchen was completely covered with curry. I told Na'kin and Mr. Korea about this, but I don't think I told anyone else. It took them DAYS to clean all off all of the surfaces. It was even in the drawers. This led to Na'kin making jokes about them cooking curry with the express purpose of filling things with it. "Ok, we need about eight more pounds of curry to fill the drier." To think of a couple of Indian kids making curry to fill up a drier for no apparent reason is so deliciously preposterous and it makes my heart sing.

I am excited about Trivia night. I love trivia. Appetizers are half price. I'm probably going to get a view drinks. Hopefully I'll meet some rockin' science and technology students! Shit yeah Bitches!

Tomorrow I have a date with Jeremy the Spider. We are going to Apple-bee's. My nervousness is greater than or equal to the nervousness of a teenage girl, about to get her first sloppy kiss.

Stage 1: Fluttery butterfly hope (Side effects: giddyness, smiles)
Stage 2: Denial filled fantasy land (Side effects: confusion, excessive day dreaming)
Stage 3: Anger filled confusion spiral (Side effects: grumpiness, worry)
Stage 4: The Blue Period (Side effects: tears, asking god why he hates you)
Stage 5: Eating (Side effects: weight gain, self loathing)

Well, today I am ready. I want to mate with someone for life. Who knows how I will feel tomorrow. But today, I want to mate with someone for life. That means I can not eat again until I am thin and attractive. Because no one will love me unless I am an attractive mate. I think I will also stop drinking. I realized that even though I have quit drinking gallons of sugar, I still get plenty of bad stuff because my drinking has increased. Maybe I will take it in small steps because I really like and want to drink. I think at Bar nights I will have 3 beers. That will cut down a lot. Also, I will not drink unless I want to.

I need to be even more charismatic. I need to be even funnier. I need to increase my swaveness by 90%. My eyes need to twinkle at least 25% more.

I saw a dad carrying his son in the city today. The son was wimpering and he said "You hurt me." And the dad could be heard to say "I didn't hurt you." I love it. I think that is one of the top ten things that my dad has said to me most in my life. "I didn't hurt you." (This is funny to me...I am pretty ok with my dad...for now).

I have finally finished my letters...finished meaning, THEY ARE IN THE MAIL. And only one day after I lied to my parents and told them that they were in the mail.

The weekend was a lot of fun. I enjoyed everyone's company and I was super happy to spend some time with Emily. I was not so happy to see Jonathan in Vienne at the church as we were leaving. I think, I KNOW it made sevearl of us feel bad, or maybe we shouldn't have felt bad, but just wonder why it was that Jonathan was in Vienna when he told us he had to work and couldn't go camping in VIENNA with us. But anyways, the canoe trip was super fun and the camping even more fun.

Its also funny how a ten minuet trip into my home can make me feel horrible. I was bombarded about my money situation from my mother and father, laughed at and embarrased by my mother and brother as they saw that I had accidentally shaved parts of my eyebrows (I have a little patch of white unibrow that annoys the hell out of me), asked to let my hair grow out because it "looks stupid" and then I was yelled at by my parents for asking for the money for my birthday present which they told me to pay for with my credit card.

All weekend I was feeling good about myself. My friends were making me feel good about myself, I got up some courage, some confidence and then I go home for ten minuets and my parents and brother rip everything down. I need to never go home. I need to get my own camping supplies so that I do not have to ask my parents to use theirs. I am going to be very soon. I need to be self sufficiant. They day I get a job, my parents will be selling me the volvo for a dollar and I will start paying for the insurance.

But despite that I am feeling good. I still have butterflies in my chest and I enjoy them VERY much.

So we move into the apartment Friday June the 1st so we will basically have two weeks once we finish finals. Will we be able to see our apartment before that day? Will we have a choice of apartments? How early can we move in that day? And we will be paying the deposit that day?

Also, does anyone want to do anything exciting tonight, since it is dead day eve? Jonathan raised the question and I thought I would like to. I can burn the candle at both ends for a little while, but not too hard, because I have a meeting I have to be concious for at 9:30 the next morning. I have to prepare a little presentation for these people in the PIRC program.

I've been trying desperatly to put this book away today, but reality intervenes again. Oh I'll do it, of course, but I'm just ready to be done now.

Waiting for Qian to take us eating. la la la.

Want to read another chapter, but he might see me.

I would like to get a long island ice tea but I'm afraid its a girly drink or something and that I should just submit to a beer. It also might be to expensive to ask of Qian who is buying us drinks for no particular reason.

I am ready.

Ben, Kory and I were sitting around watching the puppy bowl and making the voices of the puppies. The little scared puppy was like "Hey baby, I like your pants." "What'd yah name your pants." And because that puppy said that I was like, "Aw, I miss Jamsie." And Ben was like, "Yeah, me too." And Kory nodded.

We're not being little bitches or anything...we just haven't seen you in a while manzel.

I would like to have a fire tomorrow night, sincing that it'll be the probably last day of the nice weather before actual winter weather. I'm flexible though. If'n a lot of people can't come tomorrow, I would consider having it on another day. What does everyone think? I'm going to try and call you all anyways, but I's putting this here for safes.

I'm all up for an uber relaxed weekend. No shopping for supplies, no more moving in, no more meeting new roommates. Would anyone like to do any Frankenstien this weekend?

I'd really like to watch a bunch of movies. In fact, I'd like to watch so many movies that my eyes fall out. Could we watch Brick Ben? That would be cool. I might also like to go sit and relax in a Borders or Barnes and Nobles and read a Graphic Novel or two. That would be cool. I'm all for super relaxed this weekend.

also, would anyone like to pool some dough and cash in on a meal for eating this weekend?

in other news, I'm enjoying my schedule this semester, except for one tiny problem. Its sort of stressful to have Sculpture and then Cedo's class IMMEDIATLY afterword. Last semester I had about 3 hours to prepair myself for his class. Not anymore. I'm certain that once I actually get myself into Sculpture, I won't be worrying about it.

And speaking of Cedo's class. You know how I've been saying that we are going to have a conference with Steven Heller, the Graphic Designer that wrote all the books we read this summer? Well we will also have two workshops with two polish designers while Cedo is away for two weeks. That should be very interesting. We are also doing a very intense corporate branding project.

Damnit David! You Gnome Bastard. Why do I love you so much?

The numbers are getting scary close here.

5 days until The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

7 days until my birthday!

12 days until Dead Day.

15 days until Campus Pay day!

17 days until Ben's Birthday!

25 days until Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith.

44 days until The new Whitestripes Album.

83 days until Harry Potter And the Half Blood Prince!

Hukabees has returned to me.

Jonathan, call me so I can quite worrying about it. Would ya?

If I didn't send you an email already, you might click this link and look at this petition. It's something my dad sent me concerning Mr. Matt Blunt and how he is going to cut funding for mental health patients in Missouri. Make sure you read the petition and then sign if you'd like. Thanks guys!

JO IS DONE!!! JO IS DONE!!! JO IS ALMOST CERTAINLY DONE!!! GO TO HER WEBSITE!!! YOU SAW THIS DIDN'T YOU ANGIE!!! READ THE LEAKYLINK ON MY FRIENDS LIST!!! JO IS ALMOST CETAINLY DONE!!!

Our favorite author has updated her site, explaining why "No News is Good News":

I have nothing noteworthy to report, because I have been spending nearly all my time sitting in front of my computer writing, re-writing and taking the occasional break to bang my head off the desk in frustration or else rub my hands together in fiendish glee (I think the latter has happened once). Meanwhile, the distance between the keyboard and yours truly increases day by day as my third child races Harry's next adventure into the world.

So it's J.K. Rowling's third child and the sixth Harry Potter in a dead heat...who'll make it here first? We don't know, but it does seem to mean the two will not be far apart! J.K. Rowling's child is due sometime in the late winter or spring.

Jo has also updated her rumor section to say that rumors of Harry leaving the Dursleys to stand trial again in book six are false, and that he leaves Privet Drive early for a "much pleasanter reason than a court case." Update: Jo has been updating this section even further, addressing rumors about Luna and Neville as a couple, the attack on the Longbottom family, the Prewett brothers, and the chocolate wizard cards. Phew! Check it out!

Also in the Rubbish Bin, the smackdown on calling her 'Joanie.' (No one ever has, the paper that reported it was wrong, and her husband just might call her Kevin...:)

Despite her claims of no new news, we seem to be getting quite a few tidbits today. In addition to all the rumor updates, Jo has also added a few new bits in the Extra stuff section about Wands and Squibs.

In addition, the About the Books section has received many updates, answering questions about Hermione's age, the Marauders, and Godric's Hollow amoung others. There's a new FAQ poll for us to vote on, so be sure to check that out as well.

Jo has also awarded her fan site award to HPANA. Congratulations to Jeff and all the staff at HPANA.com!

There should be an update our Floo partner, The Harry Potter Lexicon, soon!

So, who is in for Saturday? I know Kory and Holly are, cause I think they both said they wanted to go. And Ben is too...but...he has to work Saturday until one? And I thought maybe Jonathan said he'd like to come. So what about Angie? Does Angie want to come? Can Angie come? Vikky is welcome also.

Angie...Brad told me you called and you said something about an election watching party. I would love to have an election watching party, if you still want to.

One last post for the day. I mentioned this earlier in a comment on Ben's holiday post, but I'm going to try and spread it to a wider audience. Soo hear it is.

I've got a couple things to say to you people who are going to be all cranky about Christmas starting now.
