10:43AM - Hey, I see some of you are still on here a little

For anyone who went to the hotel by UAB and met those awesome homeless guys when we were in high school, you may care about this.

They blew up the hotel this morning. You can watch it here: http://videos.al.com/birmingham-news/2008/02/parliament_house_implosion.html

Fun times.

10:00PM

Posting on here feels like visiting an empty high school, flipping on the light switch and saying "hello" only to hear the echo of my own voice. It's wierd but I'll do it because I'm feeling strange.

I think Kelli is my only LJ friend who still posts (and I never talk to her anymore). But I love her posts because they are about babies. And I love babies.

So I graduate in December and it's going to be awesome. Except that I'm afraid I'll be a bad teacher. I mean, what if I screw up all my kids and have to find a new profession? I hope that doesn't happen because I really love working with teenagers. They are so smart. And very perceptive. Especially ones that have seen the world in ways that would shock most adults because of their home and community situations.

I'm feeling older than my friends even though most of them are technically older than me. Some of my friends are going through their "I like all this music that no one has ever heard of and I take pictures of myself, everyone else, and random trees, flowers and umbrellas and I do cool things like hang out at coffee shops and discuss abstract things and contemplate the meaning of life" and they are doing it on another campus. I already did that stuff and it would feel phony to pretend that I don't listen to 80s music half the time and sports the other half and that I don't think that Myspace pictures are stupid. I mean, I still listen to all my favorite music from a few years ago and come across new amazing bands occassionally now but it certainly doesn't define my life in the way it did a few years ago.

I work two jobs and go to school full-time. I hang out with Josh and watch reality tv with his parents. Probably the only cool thing that I do is ride the bus. It is fun and I love it. Maybe one day I will write a book about my bus travels. Trust me, some of the gossip, political chatter, and cultural confrontations are well worth the 25 cents I paid to get on. A trip across town is not just a trip across town. It's people watching. And it's interesting.

I still live at home even though I don't want to. Mostly so that I can be closer to school. I ride the bus because I HATE to drive. I pray every night that some form of mass transit will appear and I can just hop on and read or sleep all the way to Birmingham. Really, I secretly want to just be married even if it meant that I would have to struggle financially. I spend all my time with Josh but have to drive home at the end of the night. That is annoying.

I feel pretty disconnected from my friends (if we never talk, are we still friends?). It seems that everyone is so busy with different schedules that it is easier to ignore one another than it is to go out of our way to meet up.

Ok, well I am starting to feel crazy because I feel sure that I am talking to myself. Maybe that's all I needed.

10:39PM

i have not posted in soooooooo long. i remember when i couldnt go three days without posting something.

school is school. its really cool sometimes, but a big hassle the rest of the time.

I love my weight training class. yeah its a 6:30 in the morning twice a week, but it totally wakes me up and I am getting muscle! now if i could just stop eating those philly cheesesteaks from alfredo's...

i really love my native american history class. i think it's actually called Early American Frontiers. very interesting. tons of reading, but its like reading a really good documentary that they would show on the history channel or discovery. not just dry facts or meaningless summaries. i know everyone "learns" about indian history all through k-12, but its so much different to see it in depth. its a history that really does go largely ignored. it's really cool though.

next i have Historian's Craft. i thought this would be a fun class. WRONG. fun class to be in physically. the conversation is great...but the work is like slowly chipping away at a house sized block of marble with a popsicle stick. sooooo tedious. the professor is pretty funny, but he can get on my nerves sometimes. he takes absence from class and a failure to turn in work very personally. its annoying to hear him lecture about responsibility. most of us are going to be pretty responsible about our work because we are paying to be there. somebody is paying for us to be there. we could be somewhere else, but we are enrolled in that class. so....lecture about the subject matter.

english is...okay. the professor is interesting, funny, sarcastic (in a good way) but he asks questions without letting you know what he's getting at. he will ask a question that can be answered 10 different ways with no context so as to indicate which of the 10 answers we should hone in on. so everyone just sits there like "what does he mean?" and he gets all "dont give into your lazy bone" thinking that we didnt read. no one likes to answer questions if they feel like they dont have a clear understanding of what is being asked. duh...

geography is geography. interesting, but long. and late! doesnt get over until 8pm on thursdays. boo.

education as a profession is stupid. i dont mind being in there i guess because the professor reminds me of Mrs. Collins and Mrs. Thompson put together. however, she thinks that she is very computer savvy (ugh...i hate that word) and will teach us this livetext program. most of us could probably do it on our own. she says the program is not intuitive, but so far it is quite intuitive. easy.

taking macroeconomics online was such a good decision. the material is mostly common sense and equations. there are online lectures, powerpoints, the book is online. all the resources of taking a regular class. i can email or message him anytime if i have questions (which so far hasnt happened). the assignments are easy to do and keep up with. easy.

ok that wore me out. gotta go to sleep now. maybe i will attempt another post soon.

I don't care what anyone else thinks, UAB basketball is freaking awesome. The game went into double overtime tonight. I mean whoa.

I sound like a man now. Or a frog. Or Britney Spears.

Anyway, it was intense. Even though we played the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
That is the dumbest mascot I have ever heard of. We have a fire-breathing dragon and they have a burying rodent? Ew.

9:28PM

well Thanksgiving is upon us. YAY! thanksgiving is pretty close to being my favorite holiday because it consists of food, macy's day parade, food, dog show, food, little kids on the piano, food, canasta, and more food. it is excellent.

and we're pretty close to the end of the semester, so you'd think that i would be worried about finals since i have a final in every single class, but no. i have decided to do some pleasure reading, or reading something that i dont have to analyze to pieces and write a bs response to.

Hopefully by November 28 I will have read:

Notes from Underground, White Nights, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, and The House of the Dead by Fyodor Dostoevsky (ive started this one and the first few pages are kindof funny....haha funny, not wierd funny)
The Idiot also by Dostoevsky....reading this one depends on how I like the first one
Nine Stories J.D. Salinger
The Fountainhead Ayn Rand...this will be a reread so it depends on if i have time.

and then after finals i will shove in more reading because during school, there is no time for pleasure reading when you're expected to constantly be writing responses to literature that i may or may not want to read. like now for example, i hate sylvia plath. and yet, i have to read about how she hated her dad and husband, went crazy, and eventually killed herself on the third attempt. riveting stuff.

there has been some lit that i liked though. Raymond Carver wrote this short story "Cathedral" and for some reason, i love it. mostly because in this one part, this really nice older blind man, who has no reason to care what he looks like tells a dear old friend that people tell him that his winter beard is coming in. rubbing his chin and smiling, he asks his friend, "Do I look distinguished, my dear?"

seriously. that is the cutest old man thing that i could ever imagine. plus it's just a really great story.

anyway, i sound like a dork. i just figured documentation would help me follow through with my reading goals.

9:14PM - blehhhhhhhhh

I just finished watching Super Size Me and it pretty much makes me never want to go to McDonald's ever again, even though I probably only go there 15 times in an entire year. Good movie, informative, interesting.

The only thing that got me about it is that he ignored that people have freedom of choice. If so many people are so angry at the fast food industry for directly causing the obesity epidemic in America, then why is McDonald's still so successful? Because most Americans really dont care about the obesity epidemic in America. I guess being able to choose whatever you want to eat from the most varied and well-stocked country (food-wise) in the world has become a burden that Americans are no longer willing to bear. If people really cared about McDonald's and their impact on Americans' average health and weight statistics, then they would reprimand McDonald's in the only fair way in a capitalist economy: stop buying it. If people boycotted McDonald's or other fast food restaurants, then they would be forced to either meet consumer's demands or close their doors. However, if people are still demanding Big Macs then McDonald's will continue to sell them. The two girls who sued McDonald's for making them obese are the epitomy of the American mindset: It's someone else's fault, and whoever it is owes me something. STOP STUFFING YOUR FAT FACE WITH BURGERS AND GET ON A TREADMILL.

That sounds harsh and no one should have to say it but when people blame their lack of self control on a restaurant and try to get money for it....it really just makes me sick. It is somewhat similar to the lack of voter participation experienced by the United States government. Everyone wants to know what the government has done for them lately, while at the same time not connecting the fact that governments are fueled by voter demands. The government depends on participation. No participation, no government. Or at least not the one you wish your country had.

11:47PM - I'm it....these things are retarded, but hey, im practically retarded so...

Once tagged by this entry, the assignment is to write a blog entry of some kind with six random facts about yourself. Then, pick six of your friends and tag them.


1. I'm scared that I'm settling in my relationship sometimes.

2. I wonder if I'll actually get my doctorate or if I'll end up being some dissatisfied high school teacher struggling to fight the system that at times interrupts any attempt at decent education.

3. I always wish I made more money and that I had a more satisfying job.

4. I wonder if college would be different or better if I could just live on campus and not have to work.

5. I feel too young and too old at the same time. I'm too young to be considered an authority figure by anyone over the age of 6 in a school environment, but I'm too old to be working at a grocery store with a bunch of high school sophomores.

6. Sometimes I look in the mirror and I'm like "You know, you don't look half bad."

i dont know if i have 6 livejournal friends that really read my journal....

so mutemath is amazing still.

michael almost got his teeth knocked out by the guitar and the keytar. two of the openers were mediocre at best and the other one, jonezetta, was more than decent.

josh pope came with me! i was surprised considering his current addiction to country music and fast cars. but he loves me...so he came.

i may be getting a job at my dad's office. hooray!
no more manual labor at publix! only office labor and paper pushing. you know, getting the software ready for the 2000 switch.

11:06PM - yo

informal poll. if you dont care, i understand. it's pretty boring.

i'm trying to decide if i should take evening classes next semester. it would only be on monday, tuesday, and thursday and i would be out of class by 8pm on tues and thurs and 7:30pm on mon.

im thinking of doing this because im looking into being an instructional aide for a school in shelby county and they really want someone who can be at school everyday for the whole day. this would make that possible.

and it would leave me with every wednesday night, friday night, saturday, and sunday off from school and work.

that sounds so amazing.

i would have to reduce back down to 15 hours of school, but i would be getting some much needed experience for my major aaaaaaaand it could count for field hours in some of my classes.

so...night classes or no?

i guess it's such a question because i might not get the job. and then what. publix will always work with my school schedule but im pretty tired of being on my feet for 8 hours doing manual labor. my knees kill and vericose veins are everywhere. im like an old lady. and i drink milk! so it cant be bone density. its just work. and this would be such a good opportunity.

help?

i cannot believe jeffrey won Project Runway. I know that his collection was good. But certainly Uli's was the best. When considering what women would wear, Uli and Laura's collections were dead on. I would wear maybe 2 of Jeffrey's. Michael's stuff looked cheap. I think he psyched himself out and choked. Anyway, from a personal standpoint, Jeffrey probably needed this the most. He's pretty insecure, seems to only find value in success of his work, and will benefit the most as an individual from winning. So yay for his emotional well-being.

LOVE LOVE LOVED laura's collection. really. red-carpet worthy stuff.

so it kindof sucks that im still awake. i cant go to sleep til this Afrin kicks in and opens my air passages. i know you're not supposed to take this stuff for more than three days in a row but man, it works like ::snap:: that. one minute, you can't breath to save your life. dont try to talk...you will suffocate yourself. spray, spray on the left, spray, spray on the right. tada! you can breathe, sleep, go to work, walk your dog, play in the garden, do your dishes, play board games, video games, head games, x-games, eat chinese food, do cartwheels, and everything else that the natural nails girl in the mall tells you that you can do if you use her natural nails stuff. honestly though, allergies suck.

this weather is good and bad. i always get excited about this time of year, the first bit of cold, some new clothes, and being able to wear boots! but i also get kind of down. like depressed. nothing tells you that everything you're doing is a waste of time and that truly you're a sad person looking for meaning in a meaningless world like the weather. even when it's only half true, who're you going to believe? your in-house climate or the big gray sky?

okay, nostrils clear? check. lungs functioning properly? check. eyeballs not bulging out of my head as a result of tremendous pressure? check.

goodnight.

4:47AM - long long long long long long long long long long essay about what i think about the pageant.

the pageant went well. I didn't place but I still had a good time. I think this pageant was different than the other ones that I have been in because this is like, serious pageantry. People were taping up their bodies, manipulating them to look a certain way, putting makeup on their stomachs so that they would look more toned, not eating for 14 days before the pageant (seriously, one girl was fasting) and really just rearranging who they were to impress a set of judges. I understand that fundamentally a pageant is designed for women to exhibit something about themselves that they think the judges will like or respond to but honestly you wouldn't recognize some people on the street if you had seen them on the stage: these girls were hiding more things about themselves and exhibiting more of the "ideal" woman. It's a competition but it's not based on originality; instead it's based on fitting into a certain mold. I know there has to be a standard by which to judge but i think that the things that i value the most in people are not what is considered. I'm not saying this because I didn't win or place or anything. If anyone knows me, they know that im not a sore loser about things like pageants. I tried out for dance team 3 times before i made it and never cried when i didnt make it because i knew that it was for the best and that at that particular time, i wasnt what they were looking for.

To me pageants in high school were always fun because it was a chance to have fun with your friends dressing up, make new friends, get on a stage and build confidence, to be involved with something at school, and to compete in a contest that superceded popularity. I feel like I got into this pageant for the same reasons (initially i thought trista was going to be in it). But when I got into it it was like, "whoa, this is a whole different level of pageant." it's work but i'm not sure that it is the kind that rewards you at the end of the day. pageant girls do a lot of good things; they volunteer, they raise awareness and promote platforms, but honestly, if there were no judges to impress, im not sure if they would still do it. that is certainly true of the work done before a pageant. the work done after as a result of having a title is pretty much required. no really, when you win you sign your life away. you're legally bound to fulfill these duties or you have to pay back funds you received and any money spent on you by the pageant system.

the girls that i met in the pageant that i really felt like could be role models, because they were confident in themselves, original in thought and lifestyle, and intelligent didnt get any kind of recognition for that. the girls who won were the ones who did pageants all the time, gave the "right" answers, and frankly, who were priveliged income-wise. not that a poor girl couldnt win, but the girls who won spent at least 800-900 dollars on being in this pageant. im not saying that the girls who won were stupid but it seems like they really dont have a bigger dream than to be Miss Alabama or Miss America.

I think i learned a little about myself doing this. I realized that I do have talent that really is equal to or better than dancing/singing. Maybe it isnt as easily displayed on a stage, but I'm smart. I can write. I can lead. I can teach. These things all require dedication and continued refining in the same way that dancing or singing would, but I can't sit down on a stage and write an essay or article. I may not have the most toned stomach, but it's good enough for me. I'm healthy and I feel good about myself. Comparing myself to other girls is not a way to make myself feel better because there will always be a skinnier, better-looking girl. And finally, I don't need the approval of judges. I'm sure that they are respectable people but what they think about me and the way my body looks are not terribly important to me. I guess mostly what I learned is that pageants are a channel that some people use to acheive certain things because they couldn't do it otherwise. I feel like I have the capability to do it otherwise. People might be drawn to beautiful people who have won awards for their beauty and poise, but it is really the people who are original, innovative, and hard-working that evoke the most respect. From me anyways.

granted, i have made many generalizations but this is how i feel at the moment. many of the things i discussed were the things that most people think about pageants anyways, but after being in them in high school, i had decided that they had just gotten a bad reputation. so i guess my conclusion is that there is a difference between healthy self-confidence inducing competition and hard-core gotta fit into this dress and look this way so that the judges will think that im a good person and give me a title competition. i dont know, something about seeing a girl freaking out because she's afraid her butt will jiggle a little in her swimsuit so she tapes her buttcheeks together with duct tape before she goes on the stage is just very wrong. i've got a pretty big butt, but i've never been that self-conscious. i think this type of pageantry has the reverse effect of what is intended, it brings out more reasons to feel insecure about yourself than it does to make you feel confident about yourself.

i dont think ill do the pageant next year because i put so much work into it and it wasn't nearly rewarding enough. in high school, the work put into the pageant was matched by the fun of competing and the fellowship with the girls. here, the girls were only semi-friendly, there was little fun involved and im pretty sure that I've never been so tired in my life for something that wasn't absolutely required. im glad that i did it because it was a good experience but i think ill try to invest my time in something more worthwhile in the future.

it freaking wears you out! goodnight.

edit: however i do want to thank my family, trista, josh, and my work friends. it really meant a lot for me to see my friends and family be so supportive. that was the best part about the whole thing. when the people I truly respect are proud of me, that's when I feel the most proud of myself.

11:40PM - whoa

well i have pretty much determined what my schedule will be in the spring. i think i want to take 20 hours but if they wont let me, then ill take 17.


(2)Education as a Profession - Mon 9:30-11:30am
(3)The Historian's Craft - Tu-Th 9:30-10:45am
(3)American Literature I - Tu-Th 11-12:15pm
(3)Education and Technology - Tue 4:30-7pm****
(3)Survey of Special Education - Thu 2-4:40pm
(3)Geography of North America - Thu 5:30-8pm
(3)Principles of Macroeconomics - Online


****Will nix this class if they say "NO!" to 20 hours.

I'm a dork. We can't even register until November. I just like to plan stuff like that. It sucks that I will have to go down there THREE days a week instead of two but I have to have that class and they only have it on mondays and I have to have geography and he's only teaching it next semester at one time on thursday. then he wont teach it again for another two years and i wont get to graduate when i want to.

hopefully ill be through by Fall '08. and then ill be at UA with Mr. Pope. ill probably me Mrs. Pope by then, if all goes as we expect it to, although little ever does go this way.

i think im going to try this data entry working from home thing soon. it's not one of those scams that you see all over the internet, it's a real job...from home. my aunt is doing it now. she's going to keep me posted on how it goes and if it works, then ill give it a shot and just work at publix on the weekends and then maybe not at all. because working every day except tuesday and thursday is starting to take its toll. my grades are still good, i just dont feel good and NEVER get enough sleep.

speaking of, goodnight.

9:42AM - mullet city

so i have a mullet now. no seriously. it looks like a mullet.

i got a haircut/butchering and i cried. it took two retards to ruin my hair.

so i went this morning and got it "fixed" and it looks a million times better but i still hate it. ive never regretted a haircut so much. i know hair grows back and blah blah blah...and usually i would just be like, ill make it work til it grows out. but this one....

aaaaaand i have to get pictures taken in 20 minutes for the pageant program. so if anyone comes and buys a program, you'll get to see the mullet cut. i had to preserve some of the length for the actual pageant so i can do something with it, otherwise i probably would have just gotten it cut short.

and i hate that i couldnt just deal with my grown out hair for just a little while longer.

yesterday was a no-good very bad day for this reason. grrrrrrrr. ponytails all the time til a month or two from now.

9:08AM - i love this weather

hola mis amigos!

i really need to learn spanish for real, but until I can afford that Rosetta Stone program, I will not attempt it.

so yeah, not much going on. went to the beach with josh's family...had an awesome time. I think I proved my case that orange beach (or gulf shores) is better than Panama City. If you want to party, go to PC, but if you want to relax and hang out on an uncrowded beach, go to Gulf Shores.

Anyway, while we were down there josh bought a boat for me and him to play in the ocean on. we had oars and everything. it was fun but we were so paranoid about getting out too far and a shark getting us that we only went out about 15-20 yards.

i turned in my first english paper today and arent you people glad i didnt post it for comments. it was really boring. i wrote a paper on "after apple-picking" by robert frost. 4 pages on a poem that even frost stated was "just about apples." my english teacher scored a few brownie points with me today by letting us out after we turned in our papers...if you knew this lady, you wouldnt expect it either. she's not strict or difficult, she is just so dramatic and annoying and talks and talks and talks about stuff she has already talked and talked and talked about. she gives us handouts then reads them to us like were not sophomores in college. and she read the syllabus like it was the greatest novel ever written.

the weather has been gorgeous. i mean, just perfect. fall has really snuck up on me though. it seems like i should still be wearing skirts and tank tops instead of jackets and jeans. the weather makes me want to be at a football game.

i am the mayor of my political science's class of Camelot. its pretty cool. in our city, the mayor has as much power as the councilors and presides over the meetings. it is neat. were going to get the budget approved next week which will be fun. john is my right hand man as vice mayor but i think he wants to set up a coup to get me out of office just for fun, to see if he can do it. i get a gavel and a lot of air time in the meetings. i think this is the best class i have this semester. besides my "easiest A ever" online Quality of Life class. i have a 100. sweet.

i think every girl should buy a three piece suit. it's very empowering. you're like "wow, i look like a grown-up" and then you're like "oh yeah, i am a grown-up." haha, ive never realized how stupid that word "grown-up" is. anyway, i bought this suit the other day that makes me look tall and slim (i truly am neither). ive never owned any garment(s) that created such a wonderful optical illusion. stacy and clinton would be proud. may post pictures later.

also got a new, different swimsuit for the pageant. dont worry, will never post pictures. it's a two piece. its very pretty and simple and the color is awesome. so now, my diet and exercise deal that i have been putting off has been kicked into high gear because everytime i want to eat something bad (like Publix giant chocolate chip cookies....a heavenly yum) i think about the fact that in a month i will have to walk across a stage in front of people wearing a two piece bathing suit. nothing makes you slap your own hand faster. it makes water a lot easier to drink too. hellllllloooooooo motivation!

okokokok enough about the pageant. its just that im really intimidated by it and it seems like any time i try to talk to someone about it they're like "would you just shut up about that stupid pageant." of course they dont say that but you know. so anyway enough about it. really.

i have to bring a "present" for the compost pile on tuesday for environmental science lab. gross. rotting fruit, anyone? and i have to bring old clothes to go on a field trip because "we are going to get dirty." this leslie hendon lady is crazy. next week, we have to go wade in a river catching tiny animals to examine. in high school, this would have been super fun, but now it's pretty much a nuisance.

ok, well i have vowed to myself that i would be asleep by midnight from now on because recently, i just can't function on 3 or 4 hours sleep.

going to the beach on friday will be a welcome welcome welcome vacation and i cannot wait.

i am a tired sleepy little girl. i actually took a nap on a couch at school today. im sure i looked like a bum but i was about to pass out and i had a few hours so i figured, who cares if i look like a bum? maybe ill wake up with a dollar in my hand...i should be so lucky.

and then i took a nap in the car for an hour or so. im terrible.

oh well, at least it was an easy day at school.

labor day was okay. i pretty much labored all weekend because i thought "labor" day, oh dang, gotta go labor. but no, apparently youre supposed to go home and spend time with your family and eat yummy grilled things. i guess they forgot to get the memo to me.

i did go to the alabama game on saturday which was fun. i feel bad that i didnt get to hang out with sarah or anybody but we rode with josh's parents and my phone ended up messing up at the end of the night. but we won! JPW is a much better quarterback than brodie croyle in my opinion. i couldnt figure out why we werent passing more than we did and why they kept putting ken darby in after he was repeatedly unsuccessful in "running up the middle." jimmy johns is a beast. defense was so-so but i think it will improve in the next few weeks. our O-line is very developed which im sure makes JPW look better by comparison to brodie. i wish everyone would shut up about Juwan Simpson because they act like this is the first guy to get nothing or next to nothing for something pretty serious. John Parker Wilson got a DUI and what did he get? Suspended for one game that he wasn't going to play in anyway. He could have killed someone...a woman and her baby or something. or a family of 5. all because he's an underage drinker who doesn't know how to get a ride home. anyway, if people want to call out juwan simpson then they need to start making a list of all the other players in the same predicament. what difference would one game make? not much. if i were a coach, zero tolerance would be my tolerance for any kind of criminal activity. there's just no excuse for it. they're getting a massive scholarship, and obeying the law should be minimal criteria for keeping it.

and that's all i have to say about that.

and UAB got a moral victory, which means that we lost, but proved ourselves to be worthy opponents coming up against adrian peterson. now, if we could just finish a game. that would be loverly.

ok well, i did this to kill some time while i waited on my laundry to finish so i could go to sleep so i will check in later.

oh yeah and facebook sucks now. who said that i wanted everyone to be able to see what im doing online? nobody. i feel kindof paranoid going on there now, wondering what it will say about me in that stupid "blog feed."

goodnight.
