2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | I'm still pissed about Roy Disney having to resign. Talk about the end of an era! His resignation letter was a masterpiece though. My question is, since Mickey Mouse himself is 75 years old this year, are they going to ask him to resign as well? |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Ok, I'm sitting here in my NEW HOUSE (finally got moved in and everything!) watching 'The Simple Life' on Fox. You know, the one where Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie go to live on an Arkansas farm. And I thought it'd be only right to dispell a few myths about my home state... 1) We do not all live in the country. Granted, we don't have HUGE cities like L.A. or New York, but we do have towns and cities. 2) We do not all live on farms. In fact, in the 26 years I've lived here, I've never milked a cow. I never even saw a live chicken until I was 17. 3) We are not all uneducated. Granted, there's a lot of ignorant white trash here, but we've got a whole lot of college grads here. 4) We actually wear shoes. It's acceptable to go barefoot at home in the summer, though. 5) We don't hang out at Wal-Mart all the time. We will, however, go there if there's absolutely NOTHING else to do. And we do stuff like urlLink this . There. Felt good to get that out of my system! |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Not that you asked, but... The countries I've been to: urlLink create your own visited country map And the states I've been to (counting those I've gone through to get to other states): urlLink create your own visited states map Thank you, and goodnight. |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Green You are a very calm and contemplative person. Others are drawn to your peaceful, nurturing nature. Find out your color at Quiz Me! It's cold still. Bleh. Auditions were last night. For more info, check out my other journal, urlLink backstage with the diva (also located in the links list on the right). Fridays are both good and bad. Good, because I have plenty of time to get some homework done before the weekend, and because I only have to carry one book around all day for the one class I have that meets on Friday. Bad, because between Chapel and my sole Friday class, I have over 4 hours of nothing, which can get 'dumb and bowing' (thank you, Homestar!). I've got a little work to do over the weekend. Andy'll be practicing with his band, so I've got plenty of quiet time to get it done. I have my first test of the semester to study for (Christian Home, all fill in the blank, no multiple choice), and some experiments I have to get done for Vocal Performance. I have to dust and wash my bedding, go on vocal rest, and adjust the humidity and hydration in my house to see how it affects my voice. Then I have to write a paper about it. Oh, and I have to memorize three pages from A Streetcar Named Desire using my directing notes, so I can perform the scene with a random partner for Contemp. Drama. The dog is driving us crazy. She's going through another chewing phase, and she's destroying our possessions. Andy's taken to smacking her on the butt and tossing her outside. Good thing, because I'm too softhearted to do it. Oh, and everyone go to urlLink Save Disney . The link's on the link list as well. I'm off to the library to do research on Merchant of Venice . The fun never stops. |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Yay! I can check a few other things off my list of stuff to do! That's the good news. Bad news is, it's time to pay bills AND my prescriptions have run out. Yeesh, that's a lot of money. Random thoughs running through my head at the moment: -- It's cold. I hate being cold. -- I wonder what soup they have in the student center today? -- I should probably do more work. -- I have to remember to go to the library before class. -- Is there a quiz in Christian Home today? Better not be. -- Must read chapters 8-10 for theater history. -- Need to call Stephanie, need to call Stephanie... -- How much longer until they announce what musical they're doing next semester? No wonder I'm dizzy all the time. Anybody out there watching American Idol? What's your favorite audition so far? As far as the bad singers go, I think 'Scat Girl' is hilarious. She's the one who tried to sing 'Route 66'. For the good singers, I loved the pink-haird girl who sang 'Rescue Me,' the crooner who sang 'The Way You Look Tonight' (that voice made me drool!), and the 50's-style girl from San Francisco who sang 'Almost Like Being In Love.' Ok, lunchtime, then off to Play Production. Wonder when my script for that is getting here? |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Sheesh! I take a weekend off and everybody goes and writes a buncha posts in their journals. Makin' me look like a slacker, y'all are... Anyway, by Friday night, I finished all but a few things on the list. I still haven't gotten my one-act proposal ready, and I haven't written a paper on Tartuffe yet. Oh, and I still need to print out a new resume. Other than that, I got a lot of work done. Yay for me. So, on Sunday, I come dragging into church, grubby dress, old sweater, ratty hair, feeling gross (because I still don't have a working shower, so I have to shower at Mom and Dad's), and no makeup, and Mom says, 'It's time to do something with you.' So, we go to the mall, where I get my hair whacked off to shoulder length with layers (which looks great!), and she treats me to 3 new sweaters, 2 new shirts, 2 new pairs of pants, and a pair of boots. I have to admit, I look and feel a lot better. Well, gotta go eat before Shakespeare class tonight. |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | urlLink I have the wings of the Phoenix . Gotta meet with the bank today. Bleh. Sat down with Dad, and figured out that it must be the bank's mistake, because we've never written a check we didn't have money to cover. Ever. Thankfully, Dad's friends with the bank pres, so he said he'll meet with us personally this afternoon. Classes are pretty good, and I'm at least remembering people's names. I've got a list of things I have to do this weekend, if I'm going to stay on top of things... 1) Read A Midsummer Night's Dream and finish the handout about it. 2) Find theater journal articles about The Merchant of Venice 3) Write my 'Qualities of a Good Mate' essay for Christian Home 4) Choose 2 sample theater job opening advertisements for Contemp. Drama 5) Form outline for Contemp Drama final project (got it approved!) 6) Research Six Characters In Search of an Author for a paper and presentation 7) Read Tartuffe and write a 2 page summary 8) Choose topic for Theater History final paper 9) Type script for one-act project 10) Turn in one-act proposal 11) Reconfigure resume before auditions on Thursday 12) Research 1940's New Orleans and create sources list 13) Do script analysis for A Streetcar Named Desire In other words, I got a lot to do in the next three or four days. Thankfully, I only have one class today, and it doesn't meet until 2:00, so I can get some of this done by then. Unless I keep screwing around on the internet... Yeesh. Better get moving. |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Things are teh suck today. Mainly because, despite my meticulous bookkeeping, the bank says we're overdrawn. I've gone over everything a billion times and don't see AT ALL how that could have happened. ::sigh:: Andy'll flip when he hears about this. Money matters depress him big time. Plus, at some point last night, my dog chewed a hole about the size of a golf ball in my blanket on my bed. ::grrrr:: Other than that, I guess everything's ok. There's a cute little 2 year old girl in the computer lab right now that's cracking me up. ::sigh again:: So tired, too. No idea why. I've been getting plenty of sleep. I guess my body just hasn't adjusted to the changes yet. In other news, anybody wach the State of the Union address last night? What a laugh. Of course, in my family, we turn it into our own little version of Mystery Science Theater 3000. It's fun. But the fact that Bush is trying to convince us that 'employment is on the rise'? Or that 'the economy is stable and getting better'? Whatever! Only Amercan Idol made me laugh more. There's some reeeeeeally bad talent out there. |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Well, here I am in the computer lab, getting a jump start on a week's worth of homework. I wish I had a life. I've decided to hold off on finalizing topics for a couple of classes until we have an actual class, not just the 'here's the syllabus, and by the way, you're doing a final project that'll turn your brain to oatmeal' session. But I've got options at this point, which is good. I chose an oral interp project, since we're supposed to bring something to read in front of the class tomorrow. I decided on the lyrics to Ana Ng by urlLink They Might Be Giants . A lot of their works are real poetry. Plus, I fell in love with the line 'When I was driving once, I saw this painted on a bridge/ 'I don't want the world, I just want your half.' the first time I heard it. And I think I'm going to do my semester-long study for Play Production on Tennessee William's The Glass Menagerie . I'm more than familiar with the show and the set and prop requirements, so that should help a lot. And for my stage management credit, I think I'm going to ask this girl Lindsey if I can stage manage her show, The Boys Next Door , which she's directing for her senior project. She seemed rather excited at the prospect of having a stage manager handle all the logistics so she can concentrate on directing. I get the feeling that most of my tech tine this week is going to be spent rearranging and reorganizing the workshop and costume shop. ::sigh:: I want something to paint! :) And perhaps this will be the year I finally learn to use a drill! |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | urlLink ::sigh:: Fridays are teh suck. I show up for chapel at 9, then I have NOTHING until 2:00. No car either. So, here I am in the computer lab, getting a head start on final projects (yes, the first fweaking week of the semester) like the uber-nerd I am. And now...it's Heather Quote Time! I must toot my own horn here and say that I've spouted a few zingers this week. Mainly out of nervousness, which I combat with sarcasm. Anyway, here's a few memorable ones... 'Her bitchiness was like a cancer that started in her nipples and slowly made their way up into her brain.' (Describing a former colleague of Andy's and mine.) 'I really missed you today. I saw a VW and had to hit myself.' (To Andy, my constant 'slug-bug' companion) 'You know, some mornings, you're walking along, and the air is fresh, and you're sipping spiced tea, and you just have to smile and wonder to yourself, Where the heck am I anyway ?' Have a good day. |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Well, things seem to be going ok so far, but every now and then, I wonder just what I've gotten myself into. My teachers tell me not to worry, that they know I'll do just fine. We'll see... Homework already! I've finished some of it as of right now, mainly because it involved internet research, and I was screwing around on the computer anyway. I'm so tired though, because my body does NOT want to keep getting up in the morning. Plus, I hurt everywhere from trucking all over campus with a huge bag o' books. I'm hoping I'll learn to adjust. Thankfully, all three of my classes today are in the same classroom. That's right. Not just in the same building, but in the same freaking ROOM! But, most of the theater majors are in the same boat as I am, so I see the same people all day. Kind of comforting, actually. Met a girl named Katie today who treated me to lunch. She reminds me of me at her age (did I just say that??), except that she has a boyfriend and I was a boy-repeller for many years. Ok, maybe not, but dating was not high on my agenda. Actually, she reminds me a lot of Stephanie at that age too. Anyway, she took the same professor I have for Christian Home last semester and she says the course mainly turned out to be like sex ed. She said I should have no problem passing, being already married and all. :) Question-- why do professors have to tell you about the freaking huge final project you'll eventually have to complete on the first day of class? My brain's about to explode just thinking about the various papers and presentations due by May. Still, so far, so good. |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Last night was fun. Steph showed up at my house around nine, and we went out for coffee until the coffeehouse closed at midnight. Then I kinda tossed for an hour or so before drifting off. Dad woke me up at 6 this morning, calling to tell me he was proud of me. Never got back to sleep after that. So it's 11:00 now. So far, I've been to Chapel (I'm getting too old for that long walk up to the upper balcony), and bought books (I charged them to the business office, so when my financial aid finally comes through, they'll take it out of there). And good God, if there's not a kajillion pounds worth of books there. I had to lug them down to the checkout area of the bookstore in a cardboard box, and bought a messenger bag (acid green!) just so I had something to lug them around in today. Yeesh. First class starts in 2 hours. Afterwards, I have 10 minutes to hike alllll the way across campus to get to my next class. So far, so good, I guess. |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Well, tomorrow's the big day. Meep. I've gotten my pipeline account fixed, and I'm all registered, but still no word on my financial aid, which is bad because it's supposed to pay for my books, which I don't have yet. In other news, Stephanie's coming to visit! She's in town because she has to pick up her sister at the airport and deliver her here to start classes tomorrow. So, we're meeting tonight around dinnertime. Yay! There's no way I'm gonna be able to sleep tonight. :P |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Well, the countdown is on. I'm so nervous-- I start classes on Wednesday. As of today, my financial aid still hasn't ironed itself out, I don't have books, and my campus pipeline account was suspended for 'security reasons.' ::huge sigh:: In the meantime, answer me this... (stolen from DGP's LJ) 1. A movie. 2. A book. 3. A musical artist, song, or album. 4. An LJ user not on my friends list. (Or a blog I should read) 5. Something to do in the next two months. |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | urlLink Well, I may as well admit it-- I'm nervous about going back to college. First of all, I'll be older than most people there, so what if that naturally keeps people away? I mean, I'll already have the stigma of being a 'drama geek' attached to me, which alienates me from a lot of people, but what if the fact that I'm older and married has the same effect? Will I have to wander around alone with no friends? Will I be that girl that has to eat lunch by herself while studying because nobody wants to go near her? Plus, what if my financial aid keeps screwing up? Will I even be able to start classes with everyone? Will it be awkward, starting halfway through the year, seeing as how most people have been together since the fall? What if I've forgotten how to study? I'm freaked. :( |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Congratulations! You're Legolas! urlLink Which Lord of the Rings character and personality problem are you? brought to you by urlLink Quizilla Well, I've done it. I registered for classes. It's a weird schedule with one night class (since it's the only time it's offered) and huge gaps between some classes (oh, DARN! You mean I have to hang out in the computer lab?). Here's the lowdown... * Christian Home (for my required Bible) * Shakespeare (towards my English minor) * Contemporary Drama * Theater History 2 * Play Production * Vocal Performance And, of course, chapel every morning. Now I have to register my address with the housing office, get a chapel seat, choose an advisor, apply for entrance into the college of education,and-- oh yeah, see why my federal financial aid hasn't come through yet, since they won't let me into classes until they get my $2500 down payment. Apparently, everything got tossed out when I didn't start in the fall, despite the fact that I wrote SPRING 2004 as my entrance date. Yeesh. So much to do, so little time. Gotta get it done before classes start next week. My quote of the moment: 'You think I don't have feelings? Well, you're wrong! I'm an ACTRESS! I have ALL of them!' -- Elise (Goldie Hawn), The First Wives Club |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Congrats to Kurt Nilsen of Norway, who narrowly squeezed out America's Kelly Clarkson for the title of World Idol! Of course, I voted for Will Young from Britain and Guy Sebastian from Austrailia, and neither of them came close to winning. Oh, well... |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | I'm having an awful day today. First of all, Andy's been in a bad mood with me since yesterday, which sucks and makes me dislike being married. I feel like such a burden. Second, I'm having to babysit Diva (my mom's dog) while they're in Florida (where I desperately wanted to go but couldn't because we thought Andy would have to work, and it turned out he didn't) and she's so depressed about not having Mom around that she's peeing all over my house. Then, when I was getting laundry together to take to Mom and Dad's house, I tripped and spilled it all over the back of the truck. Then while I was re-gathering it, I managed to sprain my elbow and it freaking hurts . It's swelling and throbbing as we speak. Well, we finally make it to Mom and Dad's, and we realize that we left the key to the house back at our house. So, I slammed the laundry basket down on the ground, which further hurt my elbow, and I let a few words slip that I really shouldn't have and started to cry. So we load back up, Andy drives back to the house (and, trust me, you don't want to be in the truck when he's driving mad), takes me back to Mom and Dad's, and then drives off to work. No good-bye, no kiss, nothing. Plus, I'm starving because I haven't eaten since sometime yesterday afternoon, because we still don't have a working stove. So, I come inside and try to call Dad because he's who I like to talk to when I'm upset-- he always puts things in perspective for me. But, his cell phone won't go through. So, I throw the phone across the room and commence bawling. Well, as for right now, I'm developing a migraine, and I'm still hungry, but I managed to get through to Zak, which made me feel a little better. Plus, I'll take a shower later, which will halp rinse some of the bad feelings off of me. ::sigh:: It's days like this I wish I had friends I could call. I really don't have anybody. And it sucks. |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | You're Spain! You like rain on the plain, as well as interesting architecture and a diverse number of races and religions. You like to explore a lot, but sailing, especially in large groups, never really seems to work out for you. Beware of pirates and dictators bearing bombs. And for heavens' sake, stop running around bulls! It's just not safe! Take the urlLink Country Quiz at the urlLink Blue Pyramid Ever feel like life is taking you down, one bite at a time? Maybe I just need another break. This being a nerd thing is too much work. I'm so happy Andy gets paid today, because we are flat broke. We should have enough from this check to pay for my medications and pay most of the bills. The entire next check will get eaten up in rent. It's tough being married and in college. |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | You're Element is Water. You are soft and serene at most times but like Wind, you're scary when you're mad. You proabaly have a talent is singing and even your speaking voice is lovely. You have an innocent type of beauty that makes you look younger than you are and you like close relationships with people. urlLink What's Your Element(girls)? (PICTURES) brought to you by urlLink Quizilla Smeesh, did I ever fall apart this weekend. Apparantly I've gone from being mildly anemic to being all-out pretty freaking anemic. By Friday morning, I couldn't get out of bed. I just laid there and cried, because I was too tired to even move. So, Andy held me for a little while while I whimpered, and I was asleep again by the time he pulled out of the driveway to go to work. I slept solid for about 6 hours. Luna was ecstatic that someone was home with her, so she kept bringing me toys and snuggling next to me. I felt much better by the next day. Mom's put me on a vitamin regamin and loaded me up with veggies, so I'm feeling better. Still a little weak and sleepy, but mentally, I'm wide awake. Random note to self: I need to dye my hair again. Maybe red this time-- I haven't been a redhead in a little while. We took Luna out to Andy's parents' yesterday, and decided to walk her across the field to the pond. Then, about halfway across the field, we took her leash off and just let her run. Chase, Tina's dog that she left with her parents, went with us, and the two of them bounced around in the grass chasing each other. It was so cute! She's still worn out today. I don't think she's ever run that much in her whole life. Oh, and Bennett and Alex, if you're reading this-- bring over a puppy! I wanna see one! Yay for puppies! :) |

I've decided one thing I really really hate about college-- chatty bottle-job blondes who don't know when to shut up and show a little respect now and then. For example-- today, as part of the campus-wide 'Month of Prayer,' they had the Benson Auditoruim open from 7 to 8:50 so that people could have a quiet place to pray and reflect without being disturbed. So, around 8:20 or so, I go, figuring I've got about 30 minutes to collect my thoughts and have some meditation time. No. In come these bimbos, talking LOUDLY about stupid junk, like, 'Ewww...is she really going out with him? and 'Oh, I, like, soooo failed that test today!' No amount of throat clearing or glaring would shut them up. I was so close to giving them a piece of my mind, especially as there were several people around me who were really into their prayers that morning, when the bell rang for chapel. Grrr... Or take yesterday morning, for example. We had a song service for yesterday's chapel, which these two bottle-jobs talked through. I mean, I barely saw them stop for air. When they got loud, I'd sing louder, which would quiet them down for about ten seconds. Then we learned this morning that those songs were being recorded by request of Searcy area soldiers who are currently in Iraq. Way to ruin a beautiful thing, bimbos. So, all I'm saying is, if you're one of those people, stop it before I kill you, or beat you until my arm hurts. Oh, and if your roots extend almost all the way down to your ears, we can tell you're not a natural blonde. |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Oy veh, I'm tired. I have no idea why. Maybe it's because I'm more active than I used to be, and my body just can't handle it. Who knows? All I know is that if I were to lie down, I'd be asleep in five minutes. Can you tell I'm avoiding work again? I'm supposed to be working on my Shakespeare assignment, studying for 2 tests, and reading Major Barbara for Contemp. Drama, and here I am on the internet. Well, better get to it. I so cannot wait for Spring Break. Or at least Saturday. |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Well, V-day wasn't too bad. Andy and I slept in, then he took me for a late lunch at Olive Garden, during which it started snowing. So, we walked around the mall for a while, then walked outside to see it REALLY snowing, and decided to head back to town. It was really slick and hard to see, so we ended up doing 45 all the way back home. It wasn't snowing too badly there, so we went to Hastings, where Andy bought me a copy of Greater Tuna , featuring the original Broadway cast. And, that was about it. The snow sure was pretty. First snow we've had all winter. I'm getting a lot of homework done lately. In fact, I've started scheduling times to work on my homework to make sure it's finished early. Yes, you may call me a nerd now. |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | 71% Of The Internet Loves Me! I am loved by 71% of the population, including: 3691 people who love people who like cake 2997 people who love people who like vegetables 1384 people who love people talking on cellular phones In return, I love 97% of the population, including: 4194 night people 491 conservatives 276 rich people urlLink show the love at spacefem.com I am loved! Things are looking up lately. We're getting things settles on the car, the bank finally got around to setting up an internet account, so I can keep track of when the checks are run through, it turns out that we had a little more money than we thought (which is good, because insurance is due), and I get to sleep in tomorrow. That really excites me, for some reason. Rehearsals are starting to kick in, as are the various projects for my upper-level classes. And, yeesh, there's a lot of them. Thankfully, I've been able to look at my schedule and set aside blocks of time in which to get things done. And ahead of schedule, which is good. Lemme think...other news... Oh, an old college friend of mine, Julie Clements, just had a baby. She emailed me a picture of him this morning, and he is absolutely beautiful! but then, it's also weird to think of people that I went to school with having kids and getting older. I mean, I don't think I'm getting older. In my mind, I just graduated high school. And yet, I saw a friend of mine the other day who just turned 30 and has two kids. Yeesh. Ok, back to work on my Contemporary Drama paper, and then eat a sandwich while studying for Christian Home. Why does the sandwich seem to be the best part of that? |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Had the first rehearsal last night for Not Picture Perfect , which was sooo fun! Details are in my urlLink other blog . Anyway, Andy worked late yesterday (10 hours) so he could come in late today and get the car situation straightened out. So, we get there at 9, and the place isn't open. So, we go across the street to McDonald's for breakfast. About 9:30, we go back to the mechanic's and it turns out that he's not there, but his assistant is, and the assistant can't do anything for us. So, Andy worked late and went in late for nothing. He was pissed. So, I have to go back this afternoon and see if I can do anything. The auditor at the bank still hasn't contacted us. I hate to have to do it, but I may have to get Dad to throw some weight around. If I try to get things done, I'm a whiny little b*tch, but if Dad does it, people listen. ::sigh:: I'm just sick of not knowing exactly how much money we've got in the bank. These are the kind of things I sort of NEED to know! ::roll eyes:: ::dragging!:: Need caffiene! So sleepy! Must type theater history paper and read for production class! Want sleep! |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | I'm Eponine! Spunky, resourceful, and fearless, I don't take a lot of guff from the world, and sometimes I'm kind of freaky. Secretly, though, I just want to be loved in spite of my attitude and my goofy hat. urlLink Which Les Miserables Character Are You? Bleh. That pretty much sums up how I'm doing today. Yesterday, I finally let all the stress over our finances cave in on me and cried like a 6-year-old girl. Then I moved on. But I was feeling so crummy yesterday, I fell asleep on my mom's couch and slept through Robin and Trey's shows AND the strike afterwards. So, now I'm behind on tech time. But I really needed to rest. Andy's been all edgy, but I think it's because I'm edgy too. But the dog has been sweet over the past couple of days and very snuggly. I'm sleepy, and my tummy hurts. Plus, it's cold and rainy, and I have to walk clear across to the other end of campus by 1:00 today. Just bleh! |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | urlLink urlLink Which Evil Villain Bad Habit are you? I've come up with a plan. It came to me all of a sudden while I was trying to walk to the Reynolds Center. See, it was during class time, when people don't usually stop to let you cross the street. Well, someone actually did, so I waved at them. And it felt good that somebody actually acknowledged my existence for a couple of seconds to let me cross the street. And it made me feel nice. So, I smiled about it for a full five or ten minutes. And so, my plan: acknowledge someone's existence for only a few seconds a day. Even if they're a total stranger. It'll make them feel good for a while, so they'll do the same thing for someone else. Eventually, we'll all get to noticing people around us and feeling good. There you have it. My plan for world domination. Or something like that. BTW, I just watched the finals for the county spelling bee. The winning word was 'rhubarb.' |

2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Yessss! Finally some great news! I found rights and royalties info on the show I want to direct next spring for my directing project! I should have a copy of the script in a couple of days. Good day, spent a lot of time talking and laughing with the theater gals. I've got some serious studying to do for my Christian Home test, based on the study guide he gave us today. Still got a headache, and still gotta go to Shakespeare class. |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | I am an Intellectual urlLink Which America Hating Minority Are You? Happy Monday! Here's what happened over the weekend: 1) I studied like crazy. I never thought I'd get to the point in my life where I would study this much. I never did it in elementary school. I never did it in high school. I never did it for the first 5 years I screwed around in college. This alone shows you how dedicated I am to getting my degree, and in a timely manner. 2) Went to the first cast meeting of The Boys Next Door last night. Details in my theater journal. 3) Dusted my house to within an inch of its life. As an assignment for Vocal Performance, we're supposed to find three environmental or psychological factors that keep us from using our natural voices. I decided that dust was one of my factors. This meant that I had to eliminate as much dust from my environment as humanly possible. So, out came the duster, followed by cleaning my bedding. It must be working, because I'm not waking up with a sore throat anymore. 4) The fweaking truck broke down. Our only means of transportation. From what Andy can figure, it looks like the water pump's out. And here's the really bad news- Andy's amp fried last week. Why is that bad news? Well, his band's got some shows coming up, and he needs an amp. So, I gave him the go ahead to put some money down on a used amp, and then he traded in some extra equipment he had lying around on it too. So, the last little bit of money we had is gone. And then the truck goes kaput. Thankfully, Dad's got a mechanic that has done loads of work for our family over the years, so he may be able to give us a break on a repair job. But, we'll probably have to take out a small loan to do it, which sucks royally. So, Andy's not happy. And if Andy's not happy, it's difficult for me to be happy. He seems better today, so I'm better too. With the exception of a sinus headache. Changes in the weather do that to me. Mom and sis are looking after me. They picked up some microwave eatables and snacks for me to take to school, so I don't starve to death during the day. Well, back to studying. Geez, I'm such a fweaking nerd. |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Random thought for the day... Seen on a guys's T-shirt on the way to class: One by one, the penguins are stealing my sanity. |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | You Are a Peppermint Cappuccino You're fun, outgoing, and you love to try anything new. However, you tend to have strong opinions on what you like. You are a total girly girly at heart - and prefer your coffee with good conversation. You're the type that seems complex to outsiders, but in reality, you are easy to please. urlLink What Kind Of Coffee Are You? Joke of the Day (from Cable Channel 16): Don't forget that daylight savings time is coming up. If you're at Harding, don't forget to set your clock back 40 years. Had a panic attack on Saturday, which sucked. I feel like I'm doing a bit much-- three shows, full-time classwork, and the usual housework. But I also feel like I have to do it, because I've got to prove that I can. To myself, to everyone. Whatever. I need a nap again. I know I say that a lot, but I'm really not sleeping enough. My body is the type that requires about 10 hours to function properly, and I'm barely getting 7 on most nights. I'm so tired it's making me nauseous. Anyway, things aren't all bad. Financially, we're pretty stable again. We're about to have to blow our state tax refund on new tires though. Plus, the brakes are starting to get squeaky, and Andy swears it's not his fault, but he's the only one who drives the dang thing! :) |

2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | Yes, I'm still alive. I did nothing but research and type and type and reasearch all through spring break. Yeah, I did get to sleep in, which was freaking GREAT, but, still, that's a heckuva lot of homework. And so, I returned to classes this week, only to be greeted with the prospect of more homework. Woo. Thankfully, I'm ahead of things again, so I should be able to get things done in a reasonable amount of time, somewhere between rehearsals and production meetings (see my other blog). So, last night, we went to see The Passion of the Christ , and, amazingly enough, it was Andy's idea! Wonders never cease. As far as the movie goes, its message was very powerful. For the first time ever in my entire life, the violence was so intense that it made me cry. I mean, yeah, I cry at movies, but never at violence, and this one did me in. So, if you haven't seen it yet, prepare yourself. Also, the actress playing Mary is AMAZING! Well, off to revise rehearsal schedules. |

2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | A brief update on the education situation-- Turns out that all, yes, ALL of my education classes have disappeared from my transcript. And since they have no actual proof that I took them I have to retake tham. All of them. All this summer. ::sigh:: |
2,309,585 | female | 27 | Education | Pisces | 13,May,2004 | And now, the sound of Heather screaming in frustration... Once upon a time, I took a bunch of preliminary classes for an education major. Then I dropped the education part of my major, and concentrated just on theatre. Fast forward five or so years. Now that I'm actually wanting to add the education part back onto my major, they've changed the preliminary classes you have to take before you're admitted to the College of Education. For example. the 'Intro to the Profession' class I once took has since been divided into two classes: 'Philosophy of Education' and a semester of teacher observation. You'd think that they'd take everything into consideration, that when I first entered college, I did what was required of me to complete Coll of Ed entrance. Not to mention the fact that I spent almost two years substitute teaching, including half a semester in which I was employed full time because the school lost their elementary music teacher. Well, you'd think wrong. I go to the Education Dept. to see what they would suggest I do-- could they count that as credit and waive the observation semester? They said to check with my advisor. So I check with my advisor, who says, 'I can't do anything about it. Check with the Education Dept.' ::pulling out hair:: I hate to do this, because it's so juvenile of me, but I may have to play the Daddy card. After all, he got his Masters in Education there, knows the staff, and since he's very large and imposing, people listen to him and get things done. It's that or add another couple of semesters onto my college career, which I can't afford, and be forced to graduate sometime in 2007. I'm not happy. |

I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. What Video Game Character Are You? Went to see Spring Sing last night. The club shows were ok, but you could really tell the difference between the people who practiced and the people who didn't. The club shows this year feature snowboarders, Girl Scouts (in a huge trademark violation, if you ask me), football players, spies, the Trojan War, and bowlers. The hosts and hostesses were pretty good. Ok, to be honest, the hosts this year rocked, but the hostesses were a little weak. And this year, the jazz band owned !

And I'm pissed that people are going to treat this as another example of why we should be over there, when they don't want or need us in the first place. By the way, many of you know that the full video of Berg's death is available on the internet. I don't suggest watching it.

These souls are a little combination of everything, with always a little of their own chaos to add. Twisted Souls are kind, loving, weird, zany, temperamental, and very talented. They have their own firm opinion, and can at one time be very outspoken and passionate, and the other time shy and feeling insignificant. Twisted Souls have good senses of Humor and other times can be a bore. You can act quite intelligent at one time, and grasp concepts easily, while other times they can find it difficult to understand. Twisted Souls are always very fun and Kind, and can be party animals. But, if you love someone, you're serious about it, intense, and forever loyal. Congratulations-- the world should have more like you. urlLink What Kind of SOUL do you posses?

Good thing, because in that Chriatian Home final, I could only remember enough to answer 86 out of 100 questions. Not bad, but not great. Oh, the dangers of cramming all night for three tests. Today was easier. We had a 38-question test for Vocal Performance, which I finished in 20 minutes. I came into class and presented Miller with a disk containing a Power Point presentation on the Bernoulli Effect, since he took forever to explain it to us, including his cheesy drawings. :) Tomorrow, we meet at Midnight Oil (the coffee house just off-campus) to present our production binders, then I have Thursday off. Friday, we meet again at Midnight Oil, we all get coffee, then we go take the Theatre History test at 9. Then three weeks off, then school again! The fun never stops. |

3,772,159 | female | 37 | Accounting | Gemini | 07,July,2004 | Aaaaaaaagggghhhhhhhhhh. I typed in a big long post and I lost it. *Note to self* -: 'Self, please remember to copy your post before you try and post it. Then you won't have to retype it all the time' :- *End of note to self* Guess who just wasted 10 minutes checking to see if she had really lost that post. Yep its me, and guess what. I had. OK. Here we go again . Anyway. I didn't even have to go through two weeks feeling naked without an engagement rign on my finger. The excellent staff at Garden City Showcase Jewellers rang me 10 days after I ordered my wedding ring to let me know that it was ready. I was down there within an hour (surprise, surprise). My wedding ring is absolutely gorgeous. It is made of 18ct gold (I am allergic to anything less pure) and is scalloped. It fits in perfectly with my engagement ring and the scalloping matches the ridges on the engagement ring where the diamonds sit. I am really surprised at how well it turned out as I had a lot of trouble visualising what it would look like from the drawing we saw. For the speedy service and the excellent craftsmanship this was money well spent. I would recomment this jewellers to anyone in Perth who needs a custom-made ring. If you were to look at the rings together you would swear that they were made as a set. The gift registry also took less than 2 weeks to get sorted once we had done all the horrible foot slogging around the shops. I took my list in, they entered it into the computer, making smaller items like cushions and ramekins into group gifts so that most gifts on our list are valued at around $30-$50. We signed the stores copy of the list as soon as it was posted to us and took it in immediately (if I don't do things at once I tend to procrastinate and they never get done so it is important I act at the time). So our registry is now available at the information desk at Garden City for anyone who is interested. We have announced our wedding date to most of the potential guests now. Well, Jim's mum has actually done an awful lot of the announcing for us. *grin* I told the footy club mob when Amanda and I were out for dinner with them last Friday and they all seem awfully excited. I just wish I could afford to invite everyone along. They are more than welcome to come to the church and watch the ceremony, but I just cannot afford to feed and water everybody unfortunately. *Insert sad smily here* Next task is to get the invitations to Ireland completed, addressed and sent. Needs to be done ASAP just in case anyone actually wishes to travel here and join us in our nuptials. And a meeting with the minister next Wednesday afternoon. Then we will have a time for the wedding and the ball will be rolling. And I can get the domestic invitations done (did I mention that if I leave it I will procrastinate and it will never get done?) I will post about the invitation process another time. For now it is time I got back to the real life that keeps interfering with my computer time *insert evil wicked grin here*. |
3,772,159 | female | 37 | Accounting | Gemini | 07,July,2004 | Ooops it's been a while. Funny how real life has a tendency to get in the way of a good story. On the day we were supposed to go and have our wedding dress measurements taken, Carey was very unwell. She had a staph infection in her ear and sinusitis. So Amanda, Rebecca and I went down on our own. We went upstairs and I showed Amanda the dresses that we had chosen. She loved mine but was not overly enthralled with the silver and white witchery dress that Carey had chosen. She was desperate for a purple dress. So I relented, especially as I had already told her that she did not have to have the same colour as Carey as long as her dress was in the same style, or she could have chosen the same colour but had a different style. She loved the style. So my colours are now silver and purple. Her dress will have silver trimmings. Actually that was probably a pretty good colour for her to choose as I had already made the invitations to send to Belfast and they were silver card with purple paper, covered with tracing paper with gold hearts on it. Rebecca is basically having a miniature of my white and silver dress. We are all having the same silver trimmings and we will all wear flat shoes. The seamstress was excellent and the dresses will be ready a month before the wedding. We will go in then and try them on and she will do any needed alterations. Also she measured in inches and seeing as inches are bigger than centimetres, there are less of them and it made me feel a hell of a lot smaller. Carey and I went down to get her measured up about a week later. She decided to have a purple dress as well, because she feels that it will look odd if her and Amanda are in different colours in the photos. Personally it wouldn't bother me, but she seems to be happy to wear exactly the same dress as Amanda, and so that is the way we are going now. So on or before October 27th I will finally get to see my dress on me. I can't wait. Only 3 months until my dress is ready. |
3,772,159 | female | 37 | Accounting | Gemini | 07,July,2004 | These are either the best thing to ever happen to a bride or the biggest pain in the butt of the whole wedding process. I haven't decided yet. I will let you know when I do. The concept is a brilliant idea. I make a list of what I need and instead of receiving 15 toasters, 26 kettles, 89 dinnersets and a million glasses I get what I actually need for my home. In reality though, we don't need an awful lot. Since setting up home together we have gone out and bought almost everything essential for the home and most things we want as well. And I feel uncomfortable asking people for things that I wouldn't normally bother about buying for myself like ornaments and stuff. Sure, I like to receive them, I just don't like asking for them. While we were at the shopping centre on Monday I went to the information desk and asked about their gift registry. It is a free service and I even get cards to put in with the invitations telling people where to go to find out what goodies I would like. At this stage, I am still thinking this is an absolutely brilliant idea. What could be easier than to write out my wish-list and then just hope that someone buys what I write down? So we come home Monday, we fill out the registration form, and we look at their suggested wish list and tick the items we think sound good. Easy so far. Tuesday, we go down to the shopping centre, do the ring stuff, grab a coffee, and then start to look around the shops. Writing down stuff that looks like it could be useful. Things we could live without but seeing as we have all the stuff we can't live without we have to be a little inventive. First shop down, 2 pages of goodies, 2 hours gone. Have a bite to eat and tackle the next department store. Another 2 pages of goodies, another hour or so, and I am aching all over. I think I mentioned on the rings post that I hate shopping. The main reason for this is that after half an hour or so of standing or walking, I literally ache all over, I get a pain in my right groin, the ankle I broke almost 2 years ago swells up like a balloon, and the dislocatable knees ache like nothing on earth. So I decide I am over the whole gift registry thing and we come home. Wednesday, back down to the shopping centre, well we do have to sort out the ring thing after all. First up lunch, then a couple of essentials for the computer, like printer cartridges and then we wander around the 180+ speciality stores that are at the shopping centre. I am so over the whole list that I am having trouble working out why I would want anything let alone why I am choosing my own gifts. And then I discover all the things I picked at the department store yesterday are actually a hell of a lot cheaper at the speciality stores. Aaaaaaggggghhhhh, because I cannot in all good conscience let my guests pay $13 or more extra for items I have to cross items off my list and write them in again at the cheaper place and price. Into K-mart to check what else we can put on the list that we havent already thought of. I am so, so, so over the whole thing. 'Do we really have to get married? Can't we just live in sin forever?' These thoughts fleetingly cross my mind, and then are dismissed. It will all be worth it in the end. Back to the information desk to ask for some more of the sheets that you write the gifts on so I can write the list out legibly. And to check if I can put items on the list that I have not actually chosen a brand or colour for and would just appreciate receiving. Sure, she says, just add them on at the end, with a heading that states that you don't want a particular brand or colour or anything. And because the wedding isn't until November she tells me that I can just bring it in next week because we are not in any great hurry. Home we go, relax for a couple of hours, then I compile the list and because I am writing smaller and neater I have managed to condense it from 6 pages to 3 pages. Items range in value from $1.95 (though we do want 8 of that item) to $199. We don't expect to receive the $199 wine rack but this is a wish list and we wish to have it. In fact I would just be happy if everyone turned up and had a fantastic time. So now I am going to go and take a couple more panadeine (I am living on these at the moment) and put my feet up and relax. I would have an early night but I suffer insomnia and can't get to sleep anyway. And if I was to fall asleep nice and early I would wake up too early and be a mess all day tomorrow. I think I will have to go and get some of the essential oils Janine suggested to me on delphi and try them out for a good nights sleep tomorrow night. And so endeth the gift registry saga. |
3,772,159 | female | 37 | Accounting | Gemini | 06,July,2004 | On Monday we rang my mum and Jims mum to see if they would like to come shopping with us and have lunch. They both said yes so we picked my mum up as she lives over our way and met Jims mum at Garden City as she lives about 20km away in the opposite direction. We got there and started looking at jewellery shops. We started at Edments as that was who we had purchased my engagement ring from. Another shop but that chain. We went in and asked to look at wedding bands. The girl did not seem to be awfully interested in serving us, and was not helpful at all when we realised that my engagement ring was an odd shape and we would need to have a ring custom made to fit with it. (We tried a plain wedding band with it and it just looked ridiculous.) They did not have any interesting mens bands there at all, only plain gold wedders and they were not at all cheap. I think the cheapest was around $300 for a 9ct gold band. We went to another 3 jewellers and although 2 had mens rings that interested Jim, we were having a problem finding anyone who could make my ring without it having to be sent out of the shop and to someone else. This idea is not appealing to me as the more people handling the $1,800 ring the more likely it could get lost, stolen or damaged. Ian Hill Jewellers could make me a ring onsite but I would have to wait 2 weeks until their jeweller got back from Bali before we could even look at a design or price range. They had a quite nice mens ring and were the first jeweller that really showed any interest in us at all. The girl there was incredibly helpful. We decided to go to one more jewellers (I was just about over the whole ring hunting thing by then) and spotted Rosendorfs. Now like Ian Hill, Rosendorfs is on the more pricy side of jewellers that you will find in a suburban shopping center. This was immediately evident by the fact that we received immediate, good quality attention. We looked at a large range of mens wedding bands and found a good 5 or 6 that looked really fantastic. Then Mum spotted a two-tone gold band with a plaited rope design in the middle. It was fantastic. Jim tried it on and it just looked incredible. So we got a card from the girl and then started talking about my ring. She got a price range for my ring and said that it would cost about $385-$400 to make me a plain gold band in 18ct gold. We went away to talk about it. On Tuesday we decided to go and order both rings from Rosendorfs. We had decided that Jim's was just perfect and we didnt want to spend too much time wandering around to millions of shops to find someone to make mine. So we drive back to Garden City and go in and let Nicole know that we would like to order and pay for the rings. Nicole got a crestfallen look on her face when we told her that we wished to order both rings. Apparently after we left on Monday she had been told that the Rosendorfs policy was that they could only custom-make wedding bands to go with engagement rings purchased from them. We decided to go ahead and order Jim's anyway (he has really small fingers and they don't have his size premade, it will take a month for the ring to be made in his size). But this meant we were still going to have to look for my ring. We had intended to go and do our gift registry list yesterday (can you see another post coming up?) so we didn't look at any more jewellery shops at the time. We thought we were going to have to either go into the city or out to Maddington to get a ring made. A lot of running around if you ask me. Last night we went to Mum's to drop off one of the cats (another long story) and we were looking through her seniors discount directory and we noticed that the only jeweller we hadn't gone to in Garden City was the same brand as the one we thought we were going to have to go to in Maddington. Could it be that they had a jeweller onsite there? We decided to ring this morning and check. We had to finish looking at items for the gift registry anyway so if possible we should try and get a ring at Garden City. Jim rang Garden City Jewellers this morning and they said yes they had a jeweller onsite and all rings were made right there on the premises. So for the third day in a row we headed over to Garden City. (Have I ever mentioned that I really, really, really hate shopping and avoid shopping centres like the plague?) We walked into the jewellers and I handed over my engagement ring to the girl on the counter who took it out back to show the jeweller. She came back a moment later and asked if we would mind waiting while Erica (the jeweller) drew up a design or two for us to choose from. We looked around the shop at the beautiful cuckoo clocks (hint, hint - if anyone feels like spending almost $500 on a wedding gift for us, we would love the cuckoo clock with the little people on it) and crystal ornaments. After about 10 minutes, Carla (the assistant) came back out with two designs for us to look at and a price of $580 for either ring. We were told that it would take about a month for the ring to be made up in 18ct gold. We thanked her, got the quote written on a card and went to have lunch and discuss the matter. After all, this price was a good $200 more than we had been quoted at Rosendorfs, but Rosendorfs only did that price if you purchased the original ring anyway. After about 5 minutes discussion it was decided that unless we wanted to run around in circles looking at more and more jewellers that we should take this offer and run with it. So we headed back to the jewellers (detouring on the way to add to the gift registry) and let them know that we would like to order the ring. We were then asked which design we wished to have and how thick I would like the ring. I had to hand over my engagement ring for the duration of the making of the wedding ring and asked how long it would be before I could have it back. Carla said she would check with Erica how long she would need the engagement ring for. She came back with the fantastic news that the ring would only take 2 weeks to be made. So we paid for the ring, left my engagement ring (I feel totally naked now) and went off to do the gift registry thing. Cross another item off the list. Rings are ordered and paid for. |
3,772,159 | female | 37 | Accounting | Gemini | 06,July,2004 | Another great thing we discovered at the bridal fairs, was a place called Formalwear Express. They come to your home at a time that suits you. They bring a range of suits, shirts, ties etc. They measure the guys up, co-ordinate the clothes and then take a small deposit. A couple of days before the wedding, they return with the outfits you have chosen and 2 days after the wedding they come back and pick them up again. Very handy. John and Carey came over for dinner last night and then we waited for Malcolm from Formalwear Express to turn up. His wife, Rebecca, rang in the afternoon to check on the boys neck sizes so they knew what size shirts to bring. He was then running about 10 minutes late and rang to let us know at about 10 to 7. (He was due at 7pm.) This gave us a chance to let him know that he should use the rear door to the house as this is the main entryway and give precise directions to our home. (It is not always easy to find if you don't know where you are going.) When Malcolm arrived, he came in, introduced himself and measured the guys necks (which was a good thing because Jim had underestimated the sizes of both his and Johns necks, his by one inch and John's by 4 inches) and waists so he knew what size trousers to bring in. He then verified that Jim was interested in looking at a long coat (among others), asked what colours the bridal party would be wearing and if we would like to co-ordinate the boys with the girls. He went back out to his van and came in with a rack of shirts, jackets, and ties. And a pair of trousers each for the guys to try on. He handed each of the boys their trousers and then chose a pleated shirt that appeared to me to be way over the top. He said it was best to start out with the fanciest shirt and then go down rather than the other way around. The boys vanished, one into the office and one into the reading room to change into the shirt and trousers, John appeared first looking relatively smart in his shirt and pants but with a pot belly showing *grin*. Jim made his entrance a moment later, but his buttons were out of alignment and I had to make a small adjustment. (Jim had a stroke as a child and has no use of his left arm and only 16% vision, he manages pretty well most of the time but there are occasions when he needs a helping hand.) While the boys were gone Carey and I had had a look at the silver vests which had been brought in and picked a stunning silver paisley vest. Malcolm handed each of the boys a vest and they put them on, he then handed them a long jacket each and they put that on too. I never realised these fellas would scrub up this well. They looked gorgeous. Now it was time to choose a style of tie. Jim did not wish to wear a cravat as he did not wish 'to look as if I am selling fried chicken'. So the choice came down to a bow-tie or a halflength tie. He tried two different colours of the ties but they just did not look right on him. Then he put on the bow-tie. It looked outstanding. Small hitch - bowties are only supplied in black. Not a problem - between the black suit, white shirt and silver vest the whole outfit just melded perfectly. Another little hitch - he only had one bowtie with him, so John tried the halflength tie in black just to check the colour. Problem solved - John suited the half tie perfectly. The boys will be dressed identically apart from ties. This means I will be able to tell who I am marrying when I walk down the aisle. *wicked grin* So the whole outfit looks perfect, but our wedding is being held 3 days before the start of summer here in Western Australia. What does the outfit look like sans the jacket? John looks fantastic it all sits really well. Unfortunately we don't have the same luck with Jim. As he is a funny shape due to the stroke (one really skinny arm, sorry honey) the shirt doesn't sit quite right. Possible solution - Carey's mum could adjust a shirt so that it does sit right. Possible problem - we are only hiring the suits so you can't just adjust someone elses shirt. Possible solution - can we buy a shirt from them rather than hire it? Malcolm will get back to us today and let us know, otherwise Jim and I went out and priced the shirts today and we can buy one off the rack for $75 which Careys mum can adjust. So if the shirt to buy from them is more than about $60 we will just go buy one from the shop. By the way did I say the shirts were too fancy? Not at all, once they are on with the vest and tie with or without the jacket they are just great. So we are now well on the way to having this thing organised. Next post, the great wedding ring search. |
3,772,159 | female | 37 | Accounting | Gemini | 06,July,2004 | Next step in the process was finding the wedding dress. Being a larger lady limits your options a little, unless you are willing to pay a fortune to have a dress made or drive 50km to a store that stocks larger sizes. However I lucked out at a bridal fair that I attended with Jim, John and Carey. Not only did we find 2 dress shops that stock large wedding dresses but we got a free magazine when we entered the venue (you would want to for $13 a person admission). When we got home and were flicking through the magazine, I saw this medieval type dress that just caught my eye. The medieval style of dresses are IMNSHO very classy on a larger lady. Carey went home and managed to find 2 websites of shops in Perth that carry medieval type dresses. One of them was the company that made the dress in the ad. First thing I did after looking at both sites was to go into my delphi forums and post the links and ask my friends for their honest opinions. I got lots of great opinions on the dresses that were shown on the sites. The urls for the sites are http://www.intocamelot.com.au and http://www.medievalcreations.com.au . After looking at both I was much more drawn to the Into Camelot site, but decided to give both stores a looksee and see if perhaps the pictures on the second site didn't do justice to the clothes they had available. So on a Saturday we took off down to Fremantle and looked at both stores. Problem 1 - we could not find Medieval Creations at the address they had on the webpage. Rang yellow pages and found out they had a second store at the E-shed Markets. Wandered around the markets and eventually found the store. Problem 2 - The dresses in the store only went to a 22 and most of the dresses only went as large as a 16. There were no signs advising if they would make clothes to size. Problem 3 - The assistant in the store chose to ignore us totally. If I go into a store, quite often I like to be left alone to browse, however if I am looking at your wedding dresses then I would expect you to come and at least offer to help me. She sat there and read her newspaper, probably hoping that the large woman who she could not possible sell a dress to would disappear. We spent a good 5-10 minutes in the shop being ignored and then left. Went to the other end of the markets and grabbed some lunch before heading for Into Camelot which was at the other end of Fremantle. We parked and immediately found Into Camelot. Just wandering around the displays outside the store we found the dress Rebecca wanted for her flowergirl dress and many other dresses that would be suitable for any of us for day or evening wear. We already knew we were on a winner. Wedding dresses were upstairs so we left the boys downstairs and walked up the stairs to have a look. At the top of the stairs I saw a gorgeous dress, but the price tag of $1500 made me change my mind just a little. There were a good 4-6 racks of wedding dresses in cream and white. I picked a dress in the Agincourt style (see the link on the intocamelot website) in a cream and gold. It was absolutely gorgeous. I chose the cream and gold as this is not my first marriage and I thought that the white may be a little overboard. Now it was time to choose a colour for the bridesmaids. First let me say that the store has many many gorgeous colours for bridesmaids dresses. However as the dresses have chiffon sleeves or lace sleeves, it is a bit of a battle to match the colours to the dress. I was quite happy with the effects but Carey is the one who has to wear the dress and she was not real impressed that the colours did not match. Then there it was, Carey found a gorgeous silver dress with white chiffon sleeves, (check out the fairytale link on the site) it was absolutely perfect and would suit both her and Amanda. I fell in love with it at first sight. But would silver and white go with gold and cream? The very helpful assistant then pulled out the same dress I had been looking at in cream and gold, but now it was in white and silver. It was even more perfect than the cream and gold dress, contrasted beautifully with the girls dresses, and just blew me away. Ok, now we had picked out colours and styles for all of the dresses. One small hitch, we need all of the dresses custom made, not a problem at all, Into Camelot specialises in making dresses. We now have an appointment with the seamstress on the 11th of July. She will get started on Carey, Amanda and my dresses almost straight away, but we will leave Beckys until closer to the wedding just in case she has a growth spurt. |
3,772,159 | female | 37 | Accounting | Gemini | 06,July,2004 | Of course the hardest thing about arranging a wedding is choosing who to have as Matron-of-honour, Best man and bridesmaids etc. This was relatively easy for me at least. The person I am closest to in the whole world is my brothers wife Carey. She is friendly and supportive and just a joy to be around. She is also incredibly excited about the wedding so is a natural choice for Matron-of-honour. My daughter Amanda is bridesmaid. She is very excited about the wedding too. Rebecca was offered the choice of either being a bridesmaid or flowergirl. She chose flowergirl. I am not sure how much trouble Jim had picking his Best Man. I think it was relatively easy for him too. He asked John to be Best Man. John and Carey are around here at least twice a week and we spend that much time at their place too. If we need anything done John comes running. Once again a natural choice. Joel was invited to be a part of the bridal party too. He declined saying 'Thats gay' and 'I will wear boardshorts and a singlet to the wedding. Suits are gay'. Gay is Joels word of the month (or should that be decade). Nathan was also invited to be a part of the wedding and the honeymoon but he has declined. Due to his fathers influence I am not his favourite person in the world and he decided if it meant he had to be around me then he did not want to know about it. I cannot wait for the day when he realises I love him no matter what. And that I will always be here for him. It distressed me a lot when he refused to come, but I did my bit, I invited him, offered to pay for everything for him, and if he does not want to come then I have done my best. We think we will ask Lil and Michelle to drive the wedding cars. We are using Johns and my cars and we trust them to drive them. Plus we are quite close to them and do not really want members of the family having to drive and missing out on the experience. |
3,772,159 | female | 37 | Accounting | Gemini | 06,July,2004 | Now we move up to June 2004, finally we decide on a date for our weddding, we had been looking at March 2005 but having been on a business trip to Brisbane in May, we had decided that the Gold Coast was the place to have our honeymoon, and that we should spoil the children and take them along. (They had been getting a bit narky about us going away without them all the time and besides the whole time we did the touristy bit we were thinking how much they would enjoy it.) Now with the girls still at school, we had a bit of a dilemma, if we got married in March the girls would miss out on valuable time at school, Rebecca in her first year of high school and Amanda on that all vital year 11 stuff. When would be the best time (without school holiday loading on airfares and accommodation) to take the children to the Gold Coast. Weighing it all up we decided that they could afford to miss the last week or two of this years schooling. So that meant a honeymoon date of mid-December. Well it would be a good idea to get married a couple of weeks earlier so we had time to settle into married life before going on this holiday. My brother had been married in November 2003 and had a lovely reception at Paddy Hannans at Burswood Resort here in Perth, so we decided we would like to have our reception there too. We asked if John and Carey would mind and they said that they would be flattered that we considered them to have good taste. We set a tentative date of 20th November 2004. Then we went along to Paddy Hannan's to book the room. Uhoh, the room is booked out on the 20th, we could have either the 13th or the 27th. For some reason the 27th had been sitting at the back of my mind for a while so that is the date we chose. So we quickly booked the room, didn't want there to be a chance in the world of losing this date. Next decision, church wedding or garden wedding. I had always wanted a church wedding but as my first two husbands were not in the slightest bit religious or even spiritual this had not happened. Plus I had now discovered what true love is. Jim is the only one for me and I want to proclaim this before God and man. So it was now a choice of which religion, I have been baptised Catholic and Jim is Church of Ireland, neither of us were regular church-goers, so it was decided to have an Anglican wedding. Now how to find a Minister? I know two Anglican Ministers. So I rang Peter Stanley who was Minister in Mukinbudin when I lived there. He gave me the numbers of 4 ministers in our local area who he highly recommended. We tried to call the first minister on the list for almost a week with no success at all, so we moved on to the next minister. Anita George answered the phone the first time we called and invited us to come down and have a look at the 2 churches in her parish and choose which one we would like to be married in. She also said that she would be happy for Peter to either assist her with the Marriage Ceremony or even to perform it himself in her church. This was incredibly sweet of her. She asked us to call her back when we had decided which Church we would like. We went to St Augustine's almost immediately and decided that if the inside was as nice as the outside we would have our wedding there. This was around 5pm on a Friday night. So we attended the service on Sunday morning in order to have a look at the inside of the church. It was even more lovely than the outside. The parishioners were incredibly friendly and the service was lovely (we lucked out and there was a baptism performed that morning so we also got to see a gorgeous little baby). So, on the Monday, Jim rang Anita and asked her if it would be possible to get married at St Augustine's on November 27th. She checked her diary and said that this was possible and so we booked the church. We have an appointment with her on the 4th of August to organise this wedding. Things are really starting to move now. |
3,772,159 | female | 37 | Accounting | Gemini | 06,July,2004 | Jim and I have been seeing each other since May 2003. At first I resisted his efforts to become a couple, as I was gun-shy from two abusive relationships and a deep slide into depression due to emotional and psychological abuse in the second marriage. However his sweet nature and true gentlemanliness (is that even a word?) won me over in the end and at the beginning of July 2003 I agreed to give this fledgling relationship a chance. We live in Perth, Western Australia and one of the first things Jim did was to take me on a holiday to Melbourne for a week. We had a ball. Lots of shopping, a little football (did I mention we are both big Australian Rules Football fans?) and an awful lot of sightseeing. On our return we continued dating, mainly going to events at the football club (GO YOU MIGHTY DEMONS!!!!!) and out for dinner and various things. In September we considered moving in together. Our plan was to start living together around Christmas time, but events occurred which made it a case where we started to live together immediately. The house I had been living in was way too small for what we needed so we rented a bigger house. I had been living alone up until June when my daughter Rebecca (11) decided to move back home from her fathers house. All of a sudden we were a household of 3. In around November 2003, my son Joel (16) decided to move back in with me from his fathers house, our household was expanding rapidly. Then Amanda (14) decided to spend the Christmas school holidays with us, our 3 bedroom house was showing major indicators of being way too small for us. March 2004 saw Amanda (who had by now turned 15) decide that it was more pertinent for her to live with us fulltime so it was time to find yet another larger house. We still had one outstanding child Nathan (11) and it was decided that we needed a house that would accomodate all that were already living at home plus a room for Nathan just in case. We tried to get finance to buy a home but without fudging the figures there was just no way we could be considered for finance, and if we did fudge the figures there was a good chance that we would not be able to afford the repayments. So back to the rental market we went. We looked at 3 or 4 houses but most of the houses in the rental sphere were too small for our rapidly growing family. Then the property manager (thanks Colleen) that had found us our original rental told us of a large house that she had on the market, we thought that perhaps the rent was a little exorbitant but decided to look anyway. Colleen showed me through and I rang Jim at work and told him that we just had to have this house, it is massively huge. 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, study, massive lounge and dining area. He told me if I was so in love with it to immediately put in an application to rent the property. I did this and when Jim saw it 3 days later he fell in love too. In the meantime, Jim had proposed to me and we decided to get engaged at Christmas time. We announced our engagement to family and friends on the 19th of December 2003 and had a lovely party at Jim's mothers house on 22nd January 2004. The guest list for this party is essentially the guest list we will be working on for the wedding. |

In my opinion i would want to subdue that instincts are in most situations the logical approach...being that it is the first idea in which thoughts revolve around...i think following onez instincts result in a even more perilous situation prior to the decision.. mm recently mm ive kinda fallen for some1 not technically fallen....well yes i guess you can consider it falling...because i doubt anything will happen...not because i dont want it to go no where..but just the fact that i think shes still really into the other guy..which is reasonable...me being the idioit i am followed my instinct rather then thinking logically and told her i that like her in a less straight forward way... mm im hoping that no form of weirdness develops between us because...shez good friend if not more... I think i should have listened to my friends/advisors i dont like to assume things but like before i think i find my self walking up a dead end road...meaning i doubt in this situation that she has any feelings for me in this way... which is a key reason why they think i shouldnt have said anything...another reason is that im still very much convinced shes attracted to my friend and vice versa... and i dont want to make things queerer.. though i doubt that i havent already.. like my title says im caught in a pickle mm life just keeps getting weirder and weirder... though it wouldnt be life without the weirdness or difficulties would it...? mm i guess this is all for now...i guess theres nothing else to do accept watch...Deep |

Todays been really depressing..this girl i like whoz name ill leave off the record for now...has cleared any misconceptions i had.. saying that there is no chance between us any more.. which is just killing me..mentally.. a few weeks ago she liked me but because of my stupid decision to act as a marter for a close friend who liked her aswell she gave up her feelings for me because she felt i disregarded her feelings for him.. me and her talked it through before and we just talked as friends but i knew that she knows that i like her still... so i decided to ask her...being the stubborn person i am if there was any change from before..and if i had any chance at all with her..n she said she did not want me i dont know what to do the obivous choice is get over her..buh itz really difficult because i really like her..but i dont think she understands that even though i tried numerous time to explain...she says just forget about everything and move on..simply..i doubt she ever did have any feelings for me.. im back to square one..which some off you know...and for some reason im close to breaking my promiss..im contemplating...once again even though i promissed not to..i feel compelled for itz the only relevant option to reduce my pain...im continuing with my writing..of poetry which i mite post later on in the future...but this is all for now..

4,111,374 | female | 13 | Student | Libra | 12,August,2004 | Ok, I've just had a thought....wot is with the word kankle, ok??? I mean, seriously. We all know what a kankle is, right? Well its like when you have no ankles becoz your legs are so like, fat, that your bottom-leggy-bit just goes straight into your foot...not a pretty site. So the first thing I noticed about this word is that it has the word 'ankle' in it...WHY??? why should ankle be part of the word if it isnt even part of the body part....people who have kankles have NO ankles. If there's no ankle on the leg, there shouldn't be an ankle in the word...should there?? The second thing I noticed was that the bit in front of the 'ankle' bit was a 'k'. WHY??? There is no 'k' in fat...there is no 'k' in obese...there is no 'k' in overweight....I AM SO CONFUSED!!! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON????? Who invented the word kankle becoz whoever it was i am going to smack their bottom. |

4,111,374 | female | 13 | Student | Libra | 05,August,2004 | This is VERY INTERESTING so listen up I will TELL you how to make a home-made g-string you need two things: an old pair of undies a large dumpster (bin) with a hook on the side. now, this is another embarrasing story that has happened to me (note: ALL the stories on this blog are COMPLETELY and UTTERLY TRUE!!! I promise) I was waiting for my bus, and there was like this dumpster so I decided to stand on the side of it, like just randomly. So I was wearing pants, and they got caught on this hook on the side of the dumpster and then when I tried to get off, I was left hanging in mid-air (like 1.5 m off the ground) and then my pants finally gave way, and ripped. So there was a big hole in the back of my pants BUT THATS NOT ALL. My fabulous pink floral undies had ALSO become cought on the hook, and had ALSO ripped, but the tear was SO XTREME that it split the seams on my undies, so that only one side remained...that may be hard to understand so ill make it easier... THE REMAINING SEAM SLID SIDEWAYS AND I WAS LEFT WITH A HOME-MADE G-STRING. WOW!!!! Be amazed All of you people out there remember I BELIEVE IN YOU you CAN make your own g-string and I am living proof that it IS POSSIBLE!!!!! MORE EMBARRASING MOMENTS SOON!!! |
4,111,374 | female | 13 | Student | Libra | 05,August,2004 | Well just because I am so CRAZY I would like 2 tell you about my most embarrasing moments. Ok one is when I was in year two, and we had to have swimming lessons at lane cove pool and then so ok, i was like ill do backstroke and so you know how you like sit on the wall??? I would draw a picture but I cant so like, yeh. So anyway, im in year two so I was wearing a one-piece cozzi and I push of from the wall and the straps came off my arms and I shot back so fast that my cozzi flew off and I was left wading NAKED in the pool in front of the WHOLE YEAR!!! as you can tell it was very embarrasing but also strangely comfortable... MORE EMBARRASING MOMENTS COMING SOON...(if i can be bothered) |

4,236,576 | male | 17 | Student | Gemini | 21,August,2004 | I guess its over. I found out the truth. You never believed me that I changed. You never gave me the chance. All you did was played the game I played you in. The game you promised that we would work out. You promised me that we could work this out. I actually thought that we had something. I actually thought that when you stayed with me, that it meant somthing to us, thats why I changed. Thats why I changed. I caught you in a lie, a lie I thought you never would do. I caught you cheating on me....something I never thought you would do. I thought you said that you loved me. They say 2 wrongs dont make a right, so why are you doing this? I cant believe this.. I really cant.. I dont have a clue to do anymore. Im lost without you, and you dont care. As a matter of fact, you havent read one single post of mine yet. Just simple, you changed, I thought I knew you, but you turned out to be a cheater like me, but your happy doing it, I regret my wrong doing, but your enjoying every moment of it. In fact, your on the phone with him, laughing, joking around about how stupid I am. Well I guess I am stupid. I should of never cheated on you, let alone believe that you would give me another chance without something hidden. I dont know what to do with my life anymore now. You tell me to go back to the girl I cheated on you with. But the fact is, and you know it, there was nothing enough to ever consider putting them above you. You were my one and only. I guess my lifes lesson is no matter what you do right, if you did wrong, you will never do right. I tried so hard to make it better, but I guess you didnt want that. I feel like you took a knife to my heart and not just a stab, but you cut it into pieces. I know I hurt you baby and I tried to fix it, You actually had me believing that there was light at the end of the tunnel. You never gave up on our relationship, WHY NOW? Why do you give up when you get what you want? You wanted me to be true to you. Here I am baby! I'm right here, Why dont you want me? why have you changed? Why dont you love me? What does he have that I dont have? I guarantee that he wont ever treat you better than how I was treating you. Yes, he might not cheat on you like I did in the past, but he will never love you the way I do. I hope someday you will relize that.... I miss it all.. I miss every moment spent with you. I miss it already. I cant talk to you anymore. I wont answer your calls. I CANT talk to you. It hurts to much inside to know that if you dont want to be me when I can treat you like a Queen, I cant. I love you more than anything in this world. My love was off and one for you in the beginning, but one thing is for sure, I could never imagine life without you. I guess imagining doesnt do any good now cause im imagining that we are happy. But I guess its a dream, a dream that will never come true, cause you dont want to try. Its been on my mind lately but I have to get it out, I did something that I didnt want to tell you. The other day at practice, I saw her, The one I cheated on you with 8 months ago. She yelled across the cafeteria, that she heard 'that kelly left you for good'. I couldnt resist it, I couldnt let her go on believing that I was single, I knew that that would only bring me trouble. I turned around and said no thats not true, then I continued to walk. She asked 'Are you too good to talk to me now?'. I turned around and said 'what do you want from me?'. I know you would be mad at me for talking to her so I didnt tell you. She asked if we were together. I said yes. She asked if I love her. I said no. She asked if I love you, I said 'I love her more than youll ever know.' and walked away, without saying a word. I walked out of that room feeling like butterflys coming from me. I felt like the best I ever had. I had set things straight for once. I didnt want to have a run-in with her ever again, so I set it straight this time. But unfortunately, I didnt have the nerve to tell you. I knew you wouldnt believe me so I just didnt tell you, I didnt lie because you never asked. Ive been meaning to tell you but all you do is get mad at me so I didnt bring it up because all you would do is leave me for it. I just cant believe its over now. After all weve been through, the good and the bad. Some people say, that if we made it through the hell we did, then we could live through marriage. I guess you didnt want that did you? You played with my heart. But like you, I cant stay, I cant stay here try to work it out. I know you were hurt. But when I cheated on you, I hurt myself too, now im hurting again and I think its best to let it go. We cant go on like this anymore. I had that feeling that there was someone else, and I was dreadfully right...I cant believe you did this to me. I cant believe it has to end like this. I loved you soo much, and I still do more than anything. I would give anything to keep you but I cant keep you if you dont want me, so ... I'll miss you soo much.. I'll think about you all the time. There will never be anyone to fill your place. It will take a long time to fix the whole you are leaving in my heart... Without you girl, my life is incomplete... |
4,236,576 | male | 17 | Student | Gemini | 21,August,2004 | Well another day gone bad. Since my license is suspended, I cant drive to see her. (Well when my parents are around anyways ;) . ) Well my parents were supposed to be picking up my sister this morning so I told her I could stop up around 10:30 /11ish. Around 10 I call her house and her grandma tells me that she is still sleepin and to call back about 12:30/1ish. Well, by about 10:15ish I find out that my parents arent leaving and I also have to go into work for about an hour at 11:30. So, I dont call her until about 12 when I get out of work and she screams at me because I ruined her plans and her day because I didnt come up like I said I could... Like all fights, its my fault, even though she couldnt get up to see me? When there was a possibility that I would come up... Today she went with a friend to a baseball game, which I believe she saw her special 'friend there'. She has been on the phone all day everytime I call, she then says she has to go, I know shes talking to him.. I dont know what to do. I try to make her happy but I cant get into her, I cant get the chance. The only Idea in her head is that Im a cheater and I cant treat her better. Everytime I try, she pushes me away, saying that I treat her bad. I asked her to decide today, Me or him, she thought about it, then said IDK. Thats pretty much saying 'Fuck off', I dont like you anymore. I do everything for her. Yes I did my wrong but am I not allowed to treat her good? That is me. But its very hard to be me when all I get is my mistakes rubbed in my face and treated like dirt. I guess I'm ready to face the world, full of riddicule and prejudice. Instead of being a bystander, I'm a victim of profiling, for having a short period in my life where I made a few mistakes. People never knowing the true me, my future ruined...Will I move on, or have I fallen in love with this girl for good? Idk what to do. |
