Twirling, Whirling, Swirling

I’m alive, can you believe it? The other day I actually felt my heartbeat, the miracle of life.

So what have I been up too lately? Well, I’ve been playing with the fishies. I’m down to the last species of fish I have to test so just two or three more days and I’m done with the whole lab portion of my research. Then I get to start the lab portion in which I go out and snorkel around Blue Springs to observe the fish in their natural habitat. I love this research. I think I may have found my new calling in life…a marine biologist. We’ll just have to wait and see what the future has in store for me.

I went home this past weekend and for being home only 2 days I accomplished a lot. I went home on Saturday afternoon and mowed the grass, washed the car, and helped clean the house. I was bored after all that so I decided to go out. Went dinner, lots of good food, then did some shopping, I didn’t buy anything….I was so proud. Then went over to Wendy’s where we proceeded to play her ps2 until the wee hours of the morning. Good times I might add.

Sunday was a little less action packed. I went to jenny’s because I was bored out of my mind and watched along came polly. Cute, funny movie…not oscar-worthy but still entertaining. Then I went out with this guy I use to know in high school. We use to talk but were by no means good friends. Anyway, it was interesting to say the least. He’s jewish and when we were in high school he was a very devout jew. But now, not quite so much. He’s in a band, smokes, drinks, and enjoys reading about different mystical religions and black magic kind of stuff. Amazing how much people change in just a few short years. I think I’m exactly the same, except I weigh a little more.

The other day my mom sat on some bubble wrap and she thought she had been shot.

Fourth of July is coming up and I’m so excited. I love fourth of July. I have a slight obsession with fireworks. I remember a few years ago I burnt my thumb until it turned black lighting and playing with fireworks. It was so much fun. Maybe this year I can burn my whole hand, that way I have a good story to tell to my kids, or the neighbors kids.

I just pulled a feather from my comforter. I’m working up to pulling a rabbit from my hat. So far I’ve only been able to pull out my hare…ha ha, it was funny.

The other day I went to buy some Pringles and when I opened them I discovered they have jokes printed on them. I find this slightly disturbing and yet entertaining at the same time. Where do fish go on vacation? Finland. You can’t get jokes better than that.

I bought tickets to Hoobastank. Yippee, I’m finally going to get to see them. I love that name…Hooba, Hooba, Hoobastank. It sounds like some sort of candy you would see in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
OO, really exciting news. I’m getting two turtles from the biology department. I’m taking suggestions for turtle names.

I love reading everyone else’s blog because if one person finds a really cool quiz or link, it ends up on everyone’s blog. Just sort of amuses me.

You know what, I kind of feel like building something. You know, working outdoors, the smell of sweat, saw dust in my hair, paint on my hands…on second thought I’ll stick to building forts in my house.

Does anyone else have a leaning problem? I have this problem where I sort of lean. Not like the leaning tower of Piza of anything, but when I’m sitting down or in a car I have this tendency to lean to the left. Very strange.

If you drink, don't park. Accidents cause people.

If knees were backwards, what would chairs look like?

1. Question: If you could live forever, would you and why? Answer: "I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever."

Something smells fishy

My research is going along smoothly. The fish seem to be cooperating nicely so we will see when the data is analyzed. Although I have to say designing an experiment where you have to watch fish for 12 hours probably was not the smartest idea. After about the sixth hour I am completely gone. My brain stops function and I just stare off into space. Good times.

Horrible news. My glorious CREED has decided to call it quits and has disbanded. I'm glad I at least got to see them in concert before they split. However, good news is that 3 of the members are forming their own group so basically it will be Creed without scott stapp which is okay because he was starting to have issues. But we must still have a moment of silence for this startling news.

Does everyone use the same password for everything. I have one password that I use for everything and I fear that one day someone may get ahold of it and reek havoc on all of my stuff. O well.

How strange is it to have a sink in my dorm room. I mean what a random thing to have in your room. O I think this room needs a sink. Don't get me wrong I like having the sink I just find it a little strange is all.

I have this obsession with cashews...don't ask.

why is that when you get an A+ you don't get any extra points for it but they take away points for an A- and give you points for a B+. I think that + should actually mean something and not just be there for looks.

I am officially the world's worst mover. I tried to rearrange my room the other day, it doesn't help that it is the size of a box, and it literally took me like 3 hours. Once I finally got things in the right place I realized I had forgotten one small thing, the fridge wouldn't open because the door didn't have enough room. So I had to try and move it and that became an ordeal in itself. I finally resorted to turning the fridge on it's side and sliding it under my bed. Way to go me.
