so, i want to start my LJ up again, because words cannot explain the frustrations i've been having since starting this school year. i need a venting outlet, and i'm sure my friends, especially samrachellauraandnick, are getting annoyed. this way, people can have the option of whether or not they want to deal with my annoying-ness.


but you see, here's the problem. i have a WHOLE list of what i need to put down somewhere. stuff that, in my head, i know exactly what i'm going to say.

then i sit down at my computer, my laziness takes over, and i think, "seriously, i have to write ALL of that?" and it just seems like too much. and i lose all motivation. this same principle applies to most of my classes, so none of you be surprised if i'm not here next semester- it's not because i'm studying abroad, it's because i flunked out and am now employed full-time at the high-class wendy's in champlin, mn.

you were fairly warned.

my entries end up with content such as what's coming up. DAMNIT, SAMANTHA!!!

i guess at least, right now, i can blame the lack of intelligent banter on the fact that i have to leave soon for practice. but it's a weak excuse:

First Song by Title: 'til i get over you- michelle branch
Last Song by Title: zip-a-dee-doo-dah- aly & a.j. (what!? somebody framed me by putting that on my iTunes! i swear!!!)

First Song by Artist: twilight zone- 2 unlimited (oh god, it's just getting worse. we're going downhill from here, i think.)
Last Song by Artist: pressure point- the zutons

look what i did! i'm so artistic....



( future housemates! )

katie and i want pictures of us to decorate our door with, because it's really boring, so i broke out the camera tonight and we took some.

they're really....special.....maybe there's a REASON why we don't have any pictures of us!


( me and my roomie! )



oh, and FYI....i downloaded the first episode of desperate housewives after the persuasion of pretty much every girl i know....yup, that was last night at about 9 pm....and it's now 11:05 the next evening. i'm on episode 14.

pathetic, i know! i can't help it. i hate to say it, but everyone was right. it's addicting. there's just no way you can stop watching it once you start.

it's a good thing i'm doing this instead of writing the 6-page paper i have due on friday, the 4-page paper i have due on thursday, and the mythology assignment i have due on wednesday....ughhhh, i'm gonna fail out this semester. big surprise.

my mom made me take pictures with chandler, because she wants to frame them and have them for her purse too...i know, we are such freaks who are unhealthily in love with their dog...

but there was a slight problem...chandler is not the most cooperative dog in the world, and he was being a brat, so the only way we could get him to stay still was to put him on the ground with a treat, and then yes...she told me to lay down and hug him and take pictures...and i DID.

why?......who knows!

i took doubles back to school and i want to frame them too because like i said above, i'm in love with my dog! it's the closest i can have to carrying him around in a purse all the time....jk, i wouldn't do that. or would i? :)

i felt all artistic and turned them black and white too, so i don't know which ones to frame. help me out!

( color pics )

( black and white pics )

the descriptions of the pictures are in with the color ones. yeah, i put in descriptions to TRY and make me seem like less of a freak...but it doesn't hide the fact that my mom and i ARE dorks who take pictures with the dog!!
