Plastic Bottle Chair

I guess my plastic bottle chair is NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN because my mom has just depleted me of my plastic bottle supply.
She made me collect from my room, hallway, and car and count them (which took all morning) so she can take them to her school, where they have been collecting all year.
They are trying to raise 15,000 so they can win some contest and the plastic bottles will be made into fleece jackets (??) which is a good cause and ok probably a better idea than a plastic bottle chair.

I have my stats lab final in about an hour, but I think taking my dog for a walk and seeing how many bracelets I can fit on my arms is more important than studying.

"If she seems as lonely as me, let her sink"

For part of my final project for my Worldviews class, I am making a cd with everyone in my class' favorite songs. It's a really cool idea actually, and I think you can tell a lot about a person by listening to their favorite song. For another part of my final, I am making a vase collage, I will take a picture, it will be beautiful.

HERE is the list of songs, obviously #7 is mine:

1. When the Levee Breaks – Led Zeppelin
2. The Noose – A Perfect Circle
3. 99 Red Balloons – Bjork
4. Fever – Michael Buble
5. What You Are To Me – Unkle
6. I Want You (She’s So Heavy) – The Beatles
7. If Works Permits – The Format
8. Change (In the House of Flies) – Deftones
9. Down to You – Joni Mitchell
10. Tonight, Tonight – Smashing Pumpkins
11. The Lighthouse’s Tale – Nickel Creek
12. Here Comes the Sun – The Beatles
13. That I Would Be Good – Alanis Morissette
14. Walk – Blind Melon
15. Brown Eyed Girl – Van Morrison
16. Spoonful – Etta James
17. Burn One Down – Ben Harper

brand new start

It has recently been brought to my attention this phenomenon of girls sending nude pictures to guys on myspace. My friend Brady showed me some of these pictures, and seriously girls. Have some dignity. Respect yourselves! Don't give it away like that! He said "they think I'm hot". You know, that doesn't mean you should take a picture of your boobs and share them with the world, ok.

I realize I never told the story of my amazing trip down Trinity River in Dallas. My environmental studies class did a canoeing field trip. First me and the girl I was with were too slow so the other canoes got impatient and made us switch. Then the guy I was with was going superfast, and I hardly had to paddle. Then we came across a difficult situation... we ran into a tree and tipped into the river!! I swam in the rushing waters for about 10 minutes before I was finally rescued. I had to strip down to prevent hypothermia and was forced to wear various classmates jackets. Then they tipped our canoe back over and we had to continue!! I was hoping maybe I could chill on the banks while the rest of my class drove back to pick me up or something, I guess I hoped that falling in the river was a good reason for not having to complete the field trip, but no... Well I lost my paddle while I was drowning, so I had no control and the guy steered me into ANOTHER tree. It was fabulous. Lizzie the outdoorsy explorer.

What else? I only have 6 days of class/finals left this semester, I feel a mysterious tooth growing in where my wisdom teeth were supposed to be removed, and I am on a hunt for perfect shoes to go with my dress for theatre banquet. That is it.

"Dear child,

I only did to you what the sparrow did to you
I am old when it is fashionable to be young
I cry when it is fashionable to laugh
I hated you when it would have taken less courage to love"

sorry to dwell on this but...

ok Nate Ruess, did you time-travel to invade my brain and write your songs??
I mean really, what the hell is this about??:

"I'm sure they all agree.
They take you home to help make you forget about me.
When they turn to sleep, you're wide awake,
You spend the whole night staring up at the ceiling.
Don't justify, now you're no better than Justine."

.....................................................................................

ummm ok
wow eerie creepy

the day after

two comforts:
1. knowing that my cat Mimzy has nowhere else she would rather be than by my side
even though she snores and is sometimes annoying
2. knowing that Nate Ruess' girlfriend clearly did the same thing or how else would The Format's songs be so appropriate for my despair?

I am torn between wanting to keep this between us because it's no one else's business (esp. not you ash!bash!ash!) and desperately needing someone to talk to.

And, I always seem to get sick at the worst times. This mound of kleenexes next to me is getting taller by the minute. oh but JUST NOW my mom informed me that she got me kleenex with LOTION! so much better than the regular kind

The good news is this:
Today my brother has one year sober!! hooray!

also

what is this "only you" bullshit!!

only me, plus 2 (or more!) other girls?????

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"I don't want to live
I don't want to die"

"They say all bad things come in threes
Well the last year has made the last three look so easy
You were supposed to keep the disease between you and me"

"Lizzie, I want us to always be open and honest with each other"

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WYWWHLIUYWKER KH Kkjfdhlufhsdjfkjzhkfuilskrnclisufciuyhgnmcvmx,jkl;

!!!!!!!!

I NEVER thought that I could get so upset about something that it would make me throw up

this is the WORST

I can't believe you would do that, why did you do it? I didn't think you were like that and now I feel like everything I ever believed is wrong.

the infamous picture

NO WAY

ahahahaha!



I need sleep but I also need to desperately share this hilarious news with the world!



Ok so about 2 years ago, Chris and I came across this crazy character in the park named Alan *. ***** and we have been obsessed with him ever since.

I made this picture who knows how long ago:


Anyway, he approaches us in the park one sunny April afternoon and says "Do these glasses make me look dorky?" !! Well ok, not so weird, but he proceeds to converse with us, all the while Chris and I exchange glances like "why is he talking to us, why is he rocking back and forth, etc" He then informs us that he is a photographer and gives Chris his card (how we know his name) and then states "I'll do your friend" a double entendre for "I'll take pictures of her while DOING her!" (and Chris nods to this). I politely decline and we point him in another direction to ask more people if he can take their picture and he mysteriously vanishes. He was seriously the weirdest person I have ever come into contact with.
AND ok, I just got this email at my school account:
subject: Crime Bulletin
At approximately 5:15 this afternoon two students reported a suspicious maleon Jones Rice field attempting to take photographs of females sunbathing.The subject was described as a heavyset white male approximately 6 feet tallwith black hair wearing black rimmed glasses. The male subject was wearingblue jeans and a blue T-shirt with a pink moose. After a search of the areaofficers discovered the male matching the description. The subject wasidentified as a male who has been banned from campus previously. He was arrested and charged with Entry after Being Forbidden. Contact theCentenary College Police Department at 869-5000 if you have had any negativeencounters with a male subject seeking to take your photograph.

!!!!
It's ALAN******!!!
I know it!
He would TOTALLY wear a pink moose shirt!
I don't want him to be arrested though. I mean he is weird but most likely harmless. I am not going to tell DPS because well my occurence wasn't on campus and it was hilarious providing for countless hours of laughter, he should get a medal or something.

(Chris should definitely share his picture that he made on Paint, proving that me and Chris are way creepier than Alan ever was.)

tonight, tonight

I sure would love to see Tuesday's Debut tonight at StabCity.

unfort I have multitudes of homework to keep me busy allll night long.

Luckily though on Friday I will have time to tell all my loyal readers about my week/weekend/week AND maybe some PLOGS to spice things up!

FINALLY

my internet connection has reappeared.

plenty of blogs a-coming!

"Alf Annoyances"

Last night
after work
my boyf surprised me with The Format Dog Problems vinyl... if only I had a record player to play it on.
This is seriously an awesome thing to own.

Let me just talk about how much I love Band of Horses lately. Wowowowow they are amazing for my ears to behold. I will certainly play them on my radio show tonight, which I will be doing without Allison because she is in Houston. I sometimes like doing it by myself.

Also I just ordered this most wonderful dress EVER from etsy. Hopefully it will be just as wonderful when it arrives, then all I need are shoes, and I'm theatre-banquet-ready.

This morning my parents + Garp and I walked to Starbucks. Walking is cooler than driving, and I wish we had another less-corporate location to walk to.

~!*lIzZiE*!~ BAHAH

fake

I broke my 50+ day no-meat streak. I ate shrimp for dinner. I suck at being vegetarian.
I used to think eating fish/seafood was ok and not really meat, but ohhh who am I kidding. We are all alive.

Anyway
I failed my 2nd Animal Behavior test with flying colors. bahaha
You might think I mean 2nd out of two tests. Which is true, yes. But I also mean the 2nd one I've failed.
Seriously, that multiple choice, wtf

In happier news,
today in World Views Dr. Hendricks came to our class to be a guest speaker. I like him. There are only a few professors I've really liked in college. They are mentioned in the following list:
1. Dr. Hendricks
2. Dr. Stafford
3. maybe Dr. Demerath
4. maybe Dr. Vanhoosier-Carey
5. maybe Dr. Weeks

They are just cool dudes.

I'm about to have to register for classes next semester. I need Acting Character Development and Directing fo sho, both taught by my mortal enemy.
No really, I'm bitter because she did not cast me in the show. Ok alllll I wanted was to be in that damn show
But WHATEV I'm over it, I'm going to embrace my last semester. I take that statement back^^^
Also I need a 300 level humanities core. The possibilities are:
1. Boring religion class
2. Boring religion class 2
3. Boring religion class 3
4. Boring history class

We shall see.

good morning self!

it's about.. 11 am. I am at the moment motivating myself to get out of bed. I set my alarm for 9 but hit the snooze like 5 times and then finally opened my eyes to watch "True Hollywood Story of Jessica and Ashlee Simpson" and I also did some shop-browsing online.

Last night was wonderful, for me at least!! I tried to make a surprise party for Chris but really ended up not being so much of a surprise since I parked next to Kenny oops.
BUT I was really happy that I could get most of his friends there, and it meant a lot to me that his band and everyone else came. I think he was happy too.
Well THEN after a delicious dinner at Le Macaroni Grill, we went to Sharpie's
Emily and I rocked the karaaaoke with our beautiful rendition of "She Fucking Hates Me lerlerlerlelrlr" PRRDLE OF MRRDD! TRUST!
Of course Ken, I mean Robert Goulet, outsang everyone once again. Dammit, there is just no competition!!

So TODAY I have to:
1. statistics lab
2.study for ANIMAL BEHAVIOR!!!
3. read for world views and knowledge-gather
4. read an entire novel for env. lit. (highly unlikely that this one will get completed)
5. watch ANTM

Yesterday I finished my Animal Behavior paper, it just feels so good to check things off my to-do list!

tonight

I have something very exciting.
