...Held Together By Clothes Pins & Tension....

Welcome to my little corner of the World Wide Web. I am just kicking back, relaxing, and talking about all the stuff that I can possibly think of. Plus, I can get people to read it...and leave me comments. :)

"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!" --John Mayer--

A Poem For All You People Out There!

A Golden Awareness

By Tiffany Ramos

Warbling finches sing a tune
In the dimming light of afternoon
A golden glow coats the land
Spreading perfection with its hand.

Pink tinged clouds soar high above
Showing the Creator's love
A sense of peace envelops the soul
Patching and repairing, making us whole.

As we lay hand in hand
Our toes dug deep in pure white sand
We lock eyes and gaze inside
Only eachother there to find.

In two halves a whole is made
Understanding and love to trade
Deeper than each will ever know
Basking in eachothers glow.





A Beautiful Three Days

Yes...I know I haven't posted in a while....it just seems like sleep is becoming my new crack. LOL. Seriously...All I can think about is sleep and more sleep. I know its kind of wild...but I have just been soo tired and busy.
**Sleep is just my crack...I didn't have a old, regular crack, so...I guess I can't have a "new" crack**

I know that I haven't blogged since Sunday...And I should probably catch you all up with the wonderous adventures of my life since then...but I will just focus on some "special" happenings from the last three days and then what happened today in detail.

Tuesday-

Tuesday was a great day. I had class with the Prez that morning...and it was great. I think that me and the Prez got this thing going on. I helped him and Mollie finish their projects for class...OMG. I felt so bad because they looked lightweight crazy, but hey...I helped.
I went to the meeting for conference and basically sat there because I didn't have any money. SALLIE MAE NEEDS TO STOP PLAYIN ME! Foreal..My loan needs to come through! I am really broke. PRSSA meeting was fun. Then we went home and went to sleep pretty early.

Wednesday-

Yesterday I woke up and decided I didn't feel like going to religion class. I have no clue why I never want to go...I think the class is so interesting! But....the fact stands that I decided to stay home and keep warm in my little bed. **yay**
When I finally woke up...Mollie was on the computer all typing and stuff...I kinda just laid in bed all crazy...cause sleep is the NEW CRACK! I swear..from the moment I wake up I think about the next time I can get some sleep. I took a shower.....And it was about time for us to go to the radio station.
Okay..really. Why did we mess up like eighty times?? We were having a pretty good show...then it just started going down hill. We didn't play the right songs, dedicated songs to Black Kim and she wasn't even listening, and it was just crazy in general.
Next we went to the Cave and ate. I got my regulation Chicken Patty sandwich and fries. White Kim, Black Kim, Chad, Erin, and Mollie were all there. It was a pretty fun time. Food was usual. I hate eating in the cave. I feel like I am going to wake up one morning and look into the mirror and see a big curly headed chicken patty looking back at me.
Once we were finished eating, I encouraged everyone to dig into their pockets and go to Dietsch's **die-ets-ch-uhh** LOOL..... Yeahhhh.. SO..we were waiting by Erins car...and who happens to drive by??? Waylan. I waved..because yall should know that I am kinda twisted up in tha game and stuff. So...I THOUGHT that he would just continue on his merry way...but oh no! He couldn't. He drove around and came to talk to us...Here is the conversation that ensued.

W- Hey guys
Us- Hi
W- What are yall doin?
Us- Going to Dietsch's
W- OH! I want to go.
Us- Okay! You driving?
W- **thinking...** (car doors unlock) Get in
Us- Sweet
W- Damn..what did I get myself into?

**WTF?? What did you get yourself into? I thought that you wanted to go?**

So...everyone gets in the back...and I am stuck in the front. And I can't help but be a little nervous. LOL. Cause I am a retarded girl. :)
He jokes around...because thats just what he does. Turned the music up real loud and tried to get us to scream about his driving. So...we finally get there...and ALL I can think of is how I am looking...what am I doing...lol. Its a little uncomfortable. I offered to buy his ice-cream...and he was like "no" so I bought Mollies.
Here is another really wierd thing that happened....A bunch of kids walked in behind us...and they weren't very old...And Waylan was like "Oh...this is really cool....hanging out with Fifteen year olds" Again...I get a freaking crazy look on my face and think..."Umm...your here with us...and uh....I am nineteen **almost...my birfday is Oct. 16!! wooo** ....so why the freak did you just say that???" It was really wierd...so I guess that he really didn' t want to hang out with us or whatever....I just don't know...he was whylin **lol...waylan was waylan** So...after that...we got our ice-cream and dipped...**no pun intended** He was actin real funny...and we didn't want to piss him off. Waylan dropps us off at The Frank Center...and we go in to see

THE PLAY- A MidSummer Nights Dream-

I was really amped that we were going to see the play. I totally love Shakespeare and that is my FAVORITE play that he ever wrote. But...tell me why we got seated next to *AMBER*??? WTF. That wasn't cool.
The play was pretty good. I do have to admit that the acting is not as advanced as I thought it would be at the college level. I think that if I was to audition I could get casted. I mean...not to sound cocky...but...it was really shabby acting. The lines were spoken too quickly...and it seemed like the actors didn't understand the Old English they were speaking. So...really...how were we supposed to understand??

After the play Mollie and I went back to the room and hung out. We told stories and laughed a whole bunch...and just enjoyed eachothers company. I really freaking love Mollie O. A. soo much. She is a great kidd. I swear...our families are like...SOOOO much the same.. And her stories are soo great. I just love that Asian...fo real.. She is my "..." fo life. I don't know what I would do without her.


TODAY-

We actually woke up a little late today...and headed off to Digital Design LATE...as usual. We got there about five minutes late...sat around...and then Tha Prez comes in all sleepy looking and adorable. The Professor basically talks as we try drastically to keep our eyes open...and attentive looking. I mean...I hate that class...I love art...but that class is total BS. For real.
Anyway...class got over early...and Tha Prez was heading out to handle some Bizzz of his and he gave me a handshake on the way out...and I was like...hold up! Thats all I get:????*drumroll*
I got a kiss on the cheek!! WOOOOO. YEAH ...GO ME.. PARTY. YEAAA BOOIIII. *happy dancing...** Nuff said.

Erin, Mollie and Me went to the cave to get some kind of caffinated drink to keep us awake...and then headed our seperate ways to get our learn on..
Me an Mollie headed off to InterCultural Commmunications. Pretty interesting...but then again...not really..
After that class...we had to decide if we were going to go to InterPersonal COmm... Did we?? Nope! We headed back to the room to take a nap. I was being haunted by a certain memory of really nice lips on my face...and I was ready to lay down and contemplate and relive the moment. Mollie climbed right up into her bed and I just laid there for a while...thinking about how nice those lips were! They got me alllllll twisted. FOR REAL.

**RING RING RING RINGGGG** The phone was ringing! GRRR....Naps inturrupted will get you killed. But...it was my CUZZY. WOO. I haven't talked to her in a while and I really love her. We got to talk about a whole bunch of stuff...and I love her. A lot. I think that we are not on the same level in life...and prolonged periods of interaction may be a bit CRAZY, but I have missed her..and we didn't fight at all. YAY. I hate fighting with her. She is my love for real. I would just kill myself if ANYTHING happened to her...
After we got off the phone...it was dinner time! And guess what???? I actually got to go and eat in the DINING HALL. Now, I know that all of you reading this are thinking...whats the big deal??? Well....after eating in the cave twice a day with a chicken patty...pizza or even bootleg cheesy potatoes sounds REAL REAL REALLLL good. So...Pizza and potatoes is what I had... and after dinner, Mollie had to go and get a conversation partner. *OOh, I forgot...we ate dinner with Black Kim, White Kim, and Erin **jmg* Kim said that she would take me and Mollie to get some supplies for tha crib after dinner and the meeting for Mollie. Kim and I dropped Mollie off and went to burn CDs.
Next...we went shopping...got LOTS of beverages...and NOT the illegal kind. Just regular stuff...some food...and CD's....and whatnot. We came back to the room and put stuff away. White Kim went back to her room...and Mollie and I tried to find Amber Shifferly's baby online. DAMN! We sat there forever and couldn't find that lil hoe! We went throught like...eighty thousand babies. Let me go off on a tangent real quick...

TANGENT #1
DON'T NAME YOUR BABIES CRAZY STUFF...

Why do people name their kids wierd stuff? I mean really.. One baby was named Sh'Diamond??? IS YOU SERIOUS??? There were many more like that! Are people really going to take you seriously with a name like that??? UGH.. Come on people. Think of your kids.


TANGENT #2
WHY DO BABIES LOOK LIKE ALIENS??

On each of the pages with the kids names...there was a couple of pictures of the new babies. OMG. I hate to say this too...but babies look really gross at first...I mean..they weren't FRESHLY out of the mom or anything...they were the standard pics. that everyone gets the second day in the hospital. But man....kids are lookin wild these days.....I just really think that babies look like little space creatures until they are like...a month old or so...then they start to loook normal.

Okay..back to the subject...we looked for this kid...and didn't find it.....


Currently...I am watching Mollie clean the room. Yeah...I know that kinda sounds stank...but I would clean...and she would just organize right behind me. She is soo picky..LOL.. But I did clean last weekend while she was gone. I WAS SOO PROUD OF MYSELF. WOOO. Okay...So...I think it is time for me to wrap this up. A whole bunch of people have told me that my stuff is WAYY to long...but thats "just who I am". lol...I talk a lot...and when it comes to writing....I am probably more drawn out. Umm....yeah....remember to ask mollie about the Sunflower Seed Incident...it was reallly funny. I almost died in the process...but it was grand.
Guess what time it is?? It is time for



THE BOTTOM LINE- These last days have been WONDERFUL for a gurls esteem!!

Weekend without Mollie O!

Yep..thats right...Mollie was gone all weekend....


And what did I do???

Lemme tell ya!

Okay..so she left on Friday..and I think I blogged that day.....so I won't repeat myself...Even though I know that you would just LOVE to re read the exciting and riviting nuances of my life...lol...I don't have time for all that...for those same reasons.

Well...after Mollie left..I fell into a comatose state until breakfast on Saturday. John Mayer Girl **Erin** called me and reminded me that sleep wasn't the only thing in life...food needed a space there too! And me...having a great love-hate relationship with food...I missed it. So, I decided that maybe all food and I needed was a bit of quality time and then it would treat me better. SO...I set off to make up with food...and see Cute Girl Kim and JMG along the way.

I began to get nervous as I approached food's house....You know that feeling when your going to see someone you have been fighting with? That is exactally how I felt about food at that moment. **lol..let me stop**

Anyway...I had a fun time looking at the HUMUNGUS blow up UF outside the AMU...kinda like our student union..except without a whole bunch of cool stuff. There were a lot of old people out and about...I figured they might have been the first graduating class ever....the class of 1886....They probably hadn't seen the campus in a while...I saw them staring at the computers...I wonder why?
Anyway...

After breakfast/lunch...I headed back to the dorm...and what did I do? Fell into a coma again...this time until about four thirty...then I cleaned and my mom came over.. AWWW. My mom got her hair cut and she looked really cute. I love her..Her and I hung out for a sec and then headed out to eat dinner at the cafe. The food was gross...so I knew that the alumni wouldn't be showing up to partake of a meal with us. That settled...I ended up with a piece of cheese pizza, a mom, and a JMG. We talked about a whole bunch of different stuff that would take way to long to write down...so just imagine what you can. It probably was right.
After dinner we decided that we didn't have any money...but that wouldn't hold us back from one of our favorite pastimes. SHOPPING. At this point...I knew it was a good thing Mollie wasn't here...the bath and body and Vickies charge would have been maxxed in like...thirty minutes. LOL...I think that the Goddess had a special plan for Mollie this weekend...make money...don't spend it. LOL.
I remembered that I left *cough cough* *cough coughing* in the room...so my mom left for a bit. (gee...I gotta get some robitussin for that ;) )
We met her back in Jo-Ann Fabrics and then continued to walk around the mall...I saw some stuff I wanted...but unfortunately for me...I am BROKE as a joke. Yep...thats me
BROKE.

SO anyway..after that...I drove us..**me my mom and JMG** ****OH...did I mention that JMG was with us? Because JMG says I never mention JMG**
My mom got me some stuff for the room...and then we dropped Erin off at her house. Mom and I came back to the room and hung out..showed her the plans for Wright State...and I talked to Mollie on the phone. We just chatted like we normally do..and then we decided on going to sleep.
**End of Act 1**


Just kiddin...'

This morning...aka noon....mom and I went to Taco Bell... And it was good. I love it when my mom takes me places. YAY. After Taco Bell...we went to the George House so I could help my mom with her Algebra. For all you that don't know..my mom is in college to get her psycology degree!! I am soo proud of her...she is the best little mama ever! *baby talk ensues* LOL.. Just kidding...but I do love my mom a TON.
Okay..here is the sad part.... :(

My mom left after we got back from the George house...
BUT

I found a mysterious writing on the dry erase board. *Hmm...who could it be??** It was Marquis and Johnnie! **EWW..PUKE PUKE** LOL. I wonder what they wanted?? Well....maybe I could guess what they wanted...but that would make the puking come back...so I will just tell myself that I have nooo clue what they wanted.
The rest of the night until now was uneventful except for the fire drill that we had. I guess kids were trying to light stuff on fire? Ah...WHY DO KIDS DO STUPID JUNK LIKE LIGHT RANDOM THINGS ON FIRE IN A BUILDING WITH SMOKE DETECTORS???
I just don't understand things like that!

And thats about it...I saw really hott Brandon outside...chatted with some people online and yeah...did my thang. Okay...now to my most pressing issue....


WHY DID THE FRIENDS ACT A FOOL THIS WEEKEND?


Let me first say..to all you who are reading this and thinking.. "oh..well...I couldn't help.." its cool. This is directed to all of you that knew that you weren't doing anything important. Why couldn't anyone help Mollie out with a ride??? Really...I think that is really WRONG. Everyone wants to be your friend when its easy...but no one wants to be your friend when they have to do stuff. I don't know what is up with everyone....but gosh. People can't take time out of their day to do a favor for a friend. What is our world coming to? People can't realize that they might need something some day?? Just remember that people don't forget things like that....and you could be desperate...but we aren't going to do a thing for you. Sorry...but thats just the way the cookie crumbles...your karmic retribution...three fold hopefully...has been served on a silver platter. Thank you ...come again.

My mom always taught me that if a friend needed something you did it for them. Unless someone was dying or it would harm you or yours....you did it. And guess what? My mom is one of the sweetest and most loved people ever. And you know what else? If we ever need anything, people are there to help her. THATS LOVE.
So...next time someone needs something...but you just don't "feel" like it? Remember that next time they see you getting jumped in a dark alley...or stranded on the side of the road, they are going to yell from the window of their car or as they cross the alleyway..."I don' t feel like helping you right now...sorry...I have to go catch up on my sleep".


THE BOTTOM LINE- Help friends.....or end up with none


Song of the Moment- Jason Mraz, You and I Both
