I've received some random texts in the last 24 hours, but this one from my friend Jordan really got me. Jordan: "I had a dream where Franzen glued a mullet wig to my head and then threw me in the air a bunch of times for an art project. His son befriended a pack of wolves." Hahaha. Franzen was our Arts and Comm. teacher during our senior year of high school. Interpret this as you will.
Just got back from the Werst Race, a race for a guy who was on Eastern's track and cross country teams about 10 years back and is a phenomenal runner (like, placed at nationals and is an All-American) and really good cyclist who got and beatleukemia. All the money raised goes to help him pay off his medical bills. I finished the 5K in about 28 minutes, which I'm fine with, as distance running is not my forte. I didn't train much for it (very unwise idea) and my asthma deciding 2/3 into the rac
'Cause you end up like this. I think I've done worse, but it's usually not this colourful. For this colour schemes project. Why do you not have several types of chemical-related poisioning already. Jeez.-FN
A friend in ND is me very giggly via instant messenger. It is good to talk to longtime friends! And now my computer is playing "Crash" by Dave Matthews Band. Yessss. THE DAY JUST GOT REALLY GOOD.
I'm having a slightly difficult time properly describing my absolute loathing of allergies right now. I need more Zicam. And, keep helping me with my graphics class final project, please and thank you!
Ok, so I need everyone's help for a project I'm doing in my graphics class. It's for my final project, and basically what it is is that I have to design a logo, a CD cover, and CD booklet for a made-up band. I have rough drafts for two different logos: number one and number two. I think my general style would be sort of alternativeish, but still kind of quirky, like Sia, Imogene Heap, lady danville, Dave Matthews Band, and a bit of Operator Please all mixed up together. What I need help wi
Must. Stop. Looking. At. Wedding. Photography. *drags self away from website* Not helping my mood. This is one habit you will never give up, but it's going to be really helpful in your eventual career choices.-FN
My professor (Kerry) this morning in class: "So due to the heat wave we've been having, I was too tired to write up the quiz for you all to do, so no quiz today. As interesting as the half of that book was at one AM and my sudden mastery of walking up stairs and reading at the same time this morning, I couldn't decide if I wanted to do an excited fist pump or throw my book at him. But he did like my typography assignment, so yay! And, my final for that class may be involving help from you a
Because last Thursday, my professor was all "Oh and by the way, test on Tuesday. Make sure you're up to date on the reading!" But, since this past weekend was lovely and warm and sunny and perfect for running around (even though I didn't have anyone to really hang out with), being responsible and doing homework was completely out of the question. So, we're going to see if my super crazy reading skills will translate over to this book about typography in the next couple of hours. And the mo
So I had a dream like a month back that I was at EW's house for some reason (though I don't know how I got there) and we were hanging out and then Tarik, Roa, ChocolateFrogs, Lady K, VF, and a bunch of other BZPers showed up out of the blue and we had a spontaneous party. And it was really out of the blue: as I recall, we were sitting there and people pretty much apparated into the room. I forgot about that dream and I just randomly remembered it and I thought you all should know, because it
Basically yesterday went like this: I go to the radio station at like 8:45ish and I'm doing my show and I'm there and it's going great, and I'm finding awesome music and around 11, Brian, our station manager calls me: "Hey, Maddison, there's a band coming in and I'm interviewing them, so I'm kicking you off the air an half an hour early." Except, Brian didn't know what time they were coming and I just ended playing stuff until they got there, so it was pretty much the full time anyway. So,
One: EW has one of the coolest real-life full name ever. Two: I have severe mixed feelings towards Disney's The Princess and the Frog movie trailer. The visuals so far look phenomenal, but I'm not so hyped about the actual plot. And, they're advertising it as "the story behind the most magical kiss the world has ever known". Oh, please. We all know that the one between Buttercup and whatisface in the Princess Bride is number one (at least according to the grandpa).
My mother does not seem to realize that even though she wants me to take a job as a Resident Assistant next year at my college due to the financial benefits of not having to pay for housing or a meal plan for next year, that if I were take the job next year I would most likely completely lose it with being an R.A., the track team, everything that goes along with being an art major, and the rest of my life all clamoring for attention at the same time. You weren't an RA. It was a good decision.-
Dang, Margie and Luke didn't win, but Tammy and Victor were my second hope. Congrats to them for winning! I just didn't want Jamie and Cara to win. Didn't really like their attitude and the way they were treating people (their taxi drivers, locals, etc.). Aw, now I'm kind of sad. There's not much to watch on TV right now until the fifteenth season starts up and I don't get to see Phil sign "You are team number __" any more. Man, it'd be so awesome to compete on the Amazing Race.
Which I realized after I read this comment. I don't even know how accurate my perception of the LotR plot even is. Yeah....slightly....well, not really depressing, but more of showing my lack of movie experience in the last ten or so years. You still haven't seen it. Maybe FFN will.-FN Nope.-FFN
On another site, a friend pointed this out: 141 out of 300,000,000 Americans have gotten swine flu, but 36,000 people die every year from REGULAR flu. Hey media. LOOK. Something contrary to the mass hysteria you're trying to blend up! Wait....how exactly does one blend up mass hysteria? Is there a recipe for that? "Hi, I'd like a mass hysteria shake with a side of fries." "Ok, that'll be 4.99 at the window. Would you like to supersize that mass hysteria for twenty-three cents more?" Ye
Dear World, It is time to take a chill pill. Honestly. You've really got to work on that. Love ya lots! -Nukaya What was this even about? Past me is really confusing sometimes. -FN
Yesterday I was at vault practice. Which is all fine and dandy. Except for the fact that one of my teammates snapped a pole during one of her vaults. Luckily, she's ok. Which is somewhat all fine and dandy. Except the pole she broke was the pole that all four of us girl vaulters use the most in practice and competition. Which is not at all fine and dandy. Oh, and the mishaps link now has a fun, best way I've ever seen to break a pole animation. It's awesome and fits quite well with
Heyyyyy people. The blog's all shiny and stuff now. Hope it is up to everyone's expectations. Because I remember people being all "go make your blog look nice and whatnot". Going to bed now, as it is one in the morning here.
What is one supposed to do when they have an art project due tomorrow and another project due on Friday, but you're leaving on Friday at noon for a two day track meet after doing a three-hour radio show to be stuck on a bus for five hours and you have a program that's happening Sunday to set up for your R.A. class and a powerpoint for another part of the same class that's due in a week and a half, but at the same time, you feel that you're on the verge of absolute collapsion because of getting h
