Ta da! I remembered! its a bit late, but not too late.

This is Bailey. In our pool at home. She likes to swim a lot. Don't really remember when it was taken, I think a year or two ago. love my bailey <3 (and my other puppies too)

college

So these days people are asking me, "How do you like college?" to which I obviously say I like it, so leave me alone. However, young people ask me what college is like.

Well, that's a bit tougher to answer. Everyone has a different college experience. But i think I came up with a good picture that shows how your college experience could be.

I drew over an existing picture of one of my friends on paint, so that's why it's so crudely drawn.

You have your computer, your books, a crazy hat and a toga. College.

Nightmares

I have been having bad dreams lately. I'm not really sure why, it could be contributing to the lack of sleep I've been getting lately, but I don't think so.

Some of my friends might be all, "Oh, it's cuz you watched Donnie Darko and it freaked you out so you have bad dreams." And to that i say that is not true. Even though Donnie Darko has made me slightly paranoid about the dark for the time being, it's not the cause of these dreams. I saw it this past Sunday, and these dreams have been happening on and off for like a month now and I don't know what the deal is.

They do not have appearances from Frank the Bunny or Donnie Darko or anything like that. While I don't remember all the dreams, I wake up shaken, like I knew something bad happened in the dream.

I remember one clearly. And I've had it more than once. I'm at school, and the walls of the house are missing, leaving the frame of the house and all of us living there exposed. We sleep together in the same room, paranoid and afraid of what could happen. (WHY the school was letting us sleep in a wall-less house is beyond me.) And someone is always lurking around the property at nighttime. This person is always changing.

These past couple of days have been good, but I hope that I can get into a dead enough sleep from now on so I don't remember my dreams anymore.

an article worth reading

A friend of mine from college graduated this year and is moving on to grad school at the University of Pennsylvania. His name is Bob, and I do miss having him around. My school's facebook page posted a link to their wall today. It lead to an article that Bob had written to the Daily Pennsylvanian, which i guess is near where he goes to school.

While Bob is mostly reaching out to his fellow students, I urge you to read this and educate yourself.

bob's awesome article

I'm proud of Bob for doing this. I'm happy that he is trying to make a difference. read it. read it NAO

old picture sunday.

I remembered to do this for two sundays in a row. so far, so good!

This is a picture of my brother and our dog Oreo. This is honestly one of my most favorite pictures I've ever taken. Oreo was about three when I took this, and she's 6 now.

a magical post- NO MUGGLES

In the spirit of the final Harry Potter movie coming out, i've decided to post a very harry potter related blog post today. Mostly cuz i'm not gonna be near a computer when it actually comes out, and sadly it's not cuz i'm seeing it that day :( imma be in the city :)

ANYWAY I want to ask some general questions to all you witches and wizards out there.
First: Do you know what house you'd be sorted it? I do. After taking many quizzes, i got this result:

Yes. I am a Gryffindor. Not that I really cared, but it seems like a good fit. Second: Would you play for your house team, and if so, what position would you play?
Probably. I like sports enough to want to play. I think I'd try to be a Beater. It seems like a fun position to play.

Third: Do you know what your favorite subject would be?
It's a tie between Transfiguration and Charms. Both seem very cool to learn.

And finally: Recite every book plot for me right now.

LOL jk  that's way to hard, even though I know a lot of people out there could do it. So there you have it, a quick little questionnaire. I wish I knew what else to put there.

P.S. I would still try to be as shoeless as possible if I went to Hogwarts.

old picture sunday.

I know i'm probably ripping this off from someone, but every sunday starting today i'm going to browse through some old pictures i took and share them with you here.

I'll start with my dogs for awhile. This is Berta, a Boston terrier-bulldog mix (1st gen. "mini-bull") back when she was a wee pup. She was much littler then. She still sleeps like this sometimes, not so much anymore. Probably cuz she got so HUGEEE.

stripping wallpaper

An immature person would read that title and be all "OMG NAKEDNESS!" but in reality it refers to the actual act of stripping wallpaper off of the wall. That was basically my day today. Me and my dad, at my uncle's new house, tearing down wallpaper in my cousin's new rooms.

What's so interesting about this? you may wonder. Well, honestly, not much. There is really not much to say in regards to this. But it did lead to some good convos with my dad, which are so few and far between these days i feel the need to share.

It started cuz one room's wallpaper was harder to get off. So my dad is telling me the differences between the types of wallpaper, one being without glue and one with it on already. Apparantly the latter is the way to go. My dad has been doing this kind of work for awhile now, so I take his word for it. But I ask him why more people don't use this method if it's so much better. His response?
"Because they're idiots."

I was entertained by that. It sounds like something my mom would say. This proves they are meant for each other, not that I had any doubts. 20 years strong, bitches!

2nd post today.

I won't usually post twice in one day, but i need to let this out. My parents are all pissy because I flat out refused to go pick up dinner tonight. I really just didn't wanna do it. Ordinarily i would run some sort of stupid-ass errand for them, but tonight i'm just in no mood. And now they're making this into such a big deal i just can't stand it. i need to go back to school now. N. O. W.

fuck my life. fuck everything. today was pretty good and they just ruined it.

Something worth sharing.

Ok, so yesterday I'm watching on Comedy Central the 3rd Blue Collar Comedy Tour, called "One For the Road" and in this it features the comedians Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Ron White and Larry the Cable Guy, and at the end of the show they were sharing some of their favortie jokes. They were all very funny, but this one that Jeff Foxworthy told always sticks with me, so I'd like to share it with you. Bare with me, it's a bit long. And it's in such bad taste, but you will laugh.

This man's mother-in-law comes to live with him and his wife. A week later, the man comes home and finds her face down on the floor. He calls 911 and goes with her to the hospital. He's in the waiting room and the doctor comes out. He asks the doctor how she is, and the doctor says "I have good news and bad news." The man says, "What's the bad news?"

The doctor says, "Well, she's not gonna die, in fact, she could probably live for another 20-30 years, but she had a massive stroke. The bad news is it has rendered her unable to speak, she just makes a horrible screeching sound like a parrot. It also made her lose her ability to use her arms. you'll have to spoon feed her baby food three times a day. It has also made her incontenent and you'll have to change her diapers for the next 20-30 years."

The man makes a weird face and says, "Oh my God. What's the good news?!"

The doctor laughs and says, "I'm just kidding with you, she died."

It ain't right, but many people laughed. And if this is a certain person I happen to know, you have a very horrified face on right now. :D that'll wrap up this first post for me.
