Busy...

Hi hi. Yes I'm still alive, if anyone was wondering. Just been super busy as usual. Nothing too exciting just the hell that is my Mass Media Production class. Its a 4 credit class for a reason! They really make you earn that extra credit! The weekend was okay, nothing too great. Among the chaos that was Sunday I had to drive out all the way to Barnes and Noble to get a book I need to read for my Psychology of Personality class (taking two psych classes cause I thought I wanted it as a minor but I dunno anymore!) but they didn't have the book. I should have just ordered it off Amazon.com last week like I was going to, because I had to anyway. Not even sure if it's been shipped yet! Grrr. Anyway my throat still hurts but my other symptoms of illness are gone. Talked to Pete on the phone this afternoon - he was all cute ;) Well guess I'll get outta here soon (the library) and get some Molly's food as the Dining hall was CRAP as usual tonight. Thank god for honey dijon dressing to make the salad half decent!

Guilty...

I was mean to Pete earlier for no reason :( I was disappointed we didn't get to chat as much as I would have liked online tonight because I was busy doing things around the house and stuff. So I said goodnight to him harshly and he just said 'goodnight baby' and signed off :( After a few minutes I realized that he left and I felt really bad. I was going to call him but it was alright half past midnight there and I didn't know if his parents were asleep and I didn't want to wake them (years of doing this and feeling really stupid and inconsiderate has told me not to do that lol.) Anyway tomorrow I want to go weigh myself, go to Walmart and Barnes and Noble, then go to my sister's spend the night there. Will probably be babysitting or at least spending time with the babies yay. Ooo my mom got them each a rocking horse for their 1st birthday! They are so cute! I want one - well I have a wooden one my grandpa made me when I was a baby but not a new-fangled one that makes noises and is all fluffy hehe. I will have to take pictures of them :)

Untitled...

Been a blah day. Not too much to really say about it. Next week is going to be another busy one (as if it will ever stop!) I really feel like venting but can't really say much about it. My roommate is driving me nuts thats about it lol. Probably seeing my niece and nephew this weekend yay ;) Miss the little rugrats! Not long til their 1st Bday (Dec 17) yay. Well thats about it better jump in the shower. Ta-ta.

Calm...

Wow I don't think I have anything due for the rest of the week! yay! Of course on Friday I have to get up at 8am and re-do the TV project with my mostly loser group. We were suppose to do it tonight again but one of the actors couldn't get off work - which I'm glad because 3 hours on Monday was long enough. Half of the group didn't show up until an hour after we were suppose to meet - ugh I hate group projects because people suck. Anyway.

I thought I was getting better, getting over my illness but I'm not :( My throat is sore, I have a cough and my ears hurt. Thank god for Dayquil!

Mass Media Production mid-term went okay. Ended up being only 30 Questions! UGH so I studied 70+ terms for nothing - grrr. I think I did alright on it, probably got a B.

Awww thanks Jennie for the Halloween card :)

Excuses...

Reasons (excuses) for not walking tonight:

1. Need to study for Mid-term in Mass Media Production tomorrow - 100+ terms only 40 will be on test (whats up with that?)

2. Have to revise paper due tomorrow for Brit Lit

3. Dining hall food has not agreed with me and I'm having stomach issues

4. I'm still kinda sick

5. Watched Gilmore Girls at the time I usually walk

6. While watching GG had weird popping sensation in my right ear - like fluid movement (#4)

7. Had to shave my legs

8. I'm just feeling lazy lately

9. Pete got his plane tickets in the mail

10. My roommate was reading earlier when I considered walking...

Okay in other words I have a few valid reasons but mostly being lazy. Pete and I have decided to open a savings account here for our future ;) yay. I've been thinking about doing one myself for awhile and he has also. Kind of a permenant thing to do - I don't think his name will be on it (not sure if it can be since he doesn't reside here?), but still he said he'd give me money to put in it when he could. So if we ever were to break up he'd be entitled to it back and everything. I don't think that'll happen though ;) As # 9 says Pete got his plane tickets in the mail woohoo. 51 Days! Anyway I better get off here and study. I am finally comprehending and remembering the terms as I read them from my neon flash cards which is good. Wish me luck!

Halloween card...

Awww thanks Erin for the cute card :)

Surprise...

Awwww Pete surprised me today. Remember how I said he tried to call me earlier but I wasn't in ? Well while we were chatting on AIM my phone rang (I have a network connection through the college for the internet.) So I answered it and Pete replied "Hi baby" it was kinda weird being on the phone with him and seeing that he just replied online at the same time. It was funny and sweet ;) I put my away message on AIM and talked on the phone with him for about an hour. We've been talking on the phone a lot lately...I called him yesterday for an hour with 2 phonecards and once during the week for half an hour. Well I'm not feeling too much better - I have Tylenol flu gelcaps and Dayquil so I've been taking those. Without them I would be probably sleeping on and off all day. Studied a bit for my Writing for Mass Communication midterm tomorrow - need to go over the stuff again but yeah. Last night I was going to study for it but I ended up signing on to AIM and chatting with Sara who was also avoiding studying - some things never change! I really wanna go over and see her at UF when we both have a not-so-chaotic weekend not sure when that will be though! Anyway going to go jump in the shower, read some Brit Lit, study some writing stuff and probably go to bed early. Tomorrow will be hectic - have 3 classes and then have to go to Comm building for 3 hours to sit around and watch my group tape our TV project for Mass Media Production. Sounds fun right ? lol.

Rose...

Previously mentioned Virtual Gift ;)



Awww Pete just told me he tried to surprise me by calling earlier but I wasn't in :( Went outside to study grrr. So sweet though ;)

Ugh...

I feel sick :( Been fighting it off for about a week now, think it got the best of me though! NO! UGH! Have to study today. Awww Pete sent me a virtual gift from this site ;) Anyway might go down to dining hall and eat something. Ugh.

Shakespeare...

At library working on critical analysis of Shakespeare's Sonnet 91 in case anyone is interest here it is:

Some glory in their birth , some in their skill,
Some in their wealth, some in their body's force,
Some in their garments, though new fangled ill!
Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse;
And ever humour hath his adjunct pleasure,
Wherein it finds a joy above the rest,
But these particulars are not my measure;
All these I better in one general best;
Thy love is better than high birth to me,
Richer than wealth, prouder than garments cost,
Of more delight than hawks or horses be,
And having thee, of all men's pride I boast,
Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take
All this away, and me most wretched make.


Gotta love Shakespeare!

Absolutely Fabulous!

Ooo so I was chatting with Pete and he said Ab Fab was on, so I thought it was a one from series 4 that he hadn't seen. He said it was new though - and yes - Series 5 started today! Yay. I love Ab Fab! Pete said he'll keep me up to date with the episodes and get me the dvd of the series when it comes out ;) Watching my dvd of series 2 at the moment hehe.

Random Stuff

Not much going on. Ooo I learned how to make the £ sign yay and the ©, and the é so I can finally type fianceé properly yay. Used pagebuilder to make a webpage for an assignment thats due tomorrow - it wouldn't let me use the symbols so that was annoying. Anyway yes my life is boring. Staying here this weekend - have to work on a paper due on Weds, and study for a mid-term thats on Monday and one thats on Weds fun fun.

Okay...

Well I can see it now - yay. Isn't it weird how you sometimes forget how different you are from the people around you? For instance today at dinner I sat with my roommate and her old roommate and suitemate. Of course the topic got on to Pete and him being from England. Then her old suitemate started talking about "Bend it like Beckham" which I haven't seen yet but want to - as I am 'british in my head' and a total anglophile. Maybe Pete will want to rent it when he's here or if I can I might get it on dvd cheap. Anyway she started talking about how she thought it was weird to see Indian people with british accents and that she never thought about Indians immigrating to England. I guess being with Pete for so long I kinda took for granted that everyone knew stuff like that. I guess not. Interesting. Other than that I haven't been up to too much - just homework, starting to study for two midterms I have next week, and I have to start on a paper due a week from today. Pete was talking about how he really wants to move here and that any reservations he ever had about it are gone which is good. I really hope we can sort it out to get married around the time I graduate. He got his information packet from the local community college in the mail the other day so he's been looking into that. He still hasn't gotten his tickets in the mail so he called ebookers and they should be on their way to him. Oh by the way, if anyone who is a member of my MSN Group wants to see the pics from yesterday with my sister they are on there :) Best be off here. Night!

Can you see me?

Since around 8pm my blog hasn't been showing up on my comp. Well only the upper top part of it has. Hmph. This also happened with my first blog. I just went to view it with blogger and I can see it - whats up with that?

ALIVE

Yes I am. Busy again this week. Actually not too much to do today but have tons to do in general. Mid terms coming up UGH. My sister and niece came to visit me yesterday :) We had a good time and she took pics that I'll add to my MSN group in a few mins. I'm in the process of getting a new tag board type thing for the right side so yeah that should be up soon. Will probably be back later - I dunno.

Sunday...

Sunday's are always my least favorite days - nothing on TV, nothing to do, preparing for Monday etc.

My Zonkboard is messed up - grrr. Talked to Pete earlier on the phone for half an hour. Called him because we just got off AIM and I ended up not going to the motel so thought we could chat a bit but we ended up just talking on the phone and deciding to meet later. Tony answered the phone, which is always a bit funny because he sounds like Pete when he picks up the phone. When I don't get much of a reply from 'hello' I know it's Tony so I say hello again and its our little signal that its me. So he says, "Hi Julie" I say, "hey Ton how are you? can I talk to Pete?" "I suppose so," he says sarcastically as usual, "I'll transfer you over." Then I hear Lin in the background and then the stupid internal tune. Then I get Pete lol. Looks like we have at least one rodent in our house - found droppings in my room and the hall closet. Ugh glad I'm staying at school cause I would be totally paranoid if I had to sleep in my room knowing theres a creature in there lol. Did a bit of Brit Lit reading, could have worked on my Adobe In Design project as my mom has it on this computer but I didn't bring the project on a CD-R with me so I would have to start over again and it'll be easier just to work on it later when I get back to school or tomorrow. Its not due til Weds but I haven't gotten much done on it. Anyway my mom will be home soon and she's making London Broil for dinner (my fav) so I'm making Yorkshire Puddings yum! Best be off and chat with Pete ;)

Spending...

Wow I spent about $65 in a matter of like 30 mins! My mom and I went to the mall to look around for an anniversary present for Pete and a present for one of my friends for her bday (it was last weekend.) I went into Things Remembered to see what they had. I ended up getting the album I saw online and got it engraved with our names on it (Julie & Pete), and an album for my friend with her name engraved on it. They were having a buy one and get one half off so I did good. I've been thinking I'm good at picking out gifts and I like buying stuff for people - I should become a professional gift buyer. Hmph dunno where English or Communications degrees fit in to that but hey it's a thought lol. Before that we went into Dillards from the parking lot to go to the bathroom. Right outside the bathrooms was a table with these adorable stuffed dogs on it that barked and wagged their tails! I had to get one for Pete - the beagle as thats one of the dogs we want when we are living together. I don't feel like doing the html for the link but go to www.thedog-club.com if you wanna see what I'm talking about. Have to keep this page away from Pete so he doesn't find out but he never look at it anyway lol. Anyway thats about it. Might walk later. Oooo I lost 3 lbs in the last 2 weeks which is good consider atkins hasn't been going too well and I didn't exercise a lot this past week as I was so busy. Total weight lose: 18 lbs since 8/18 woohoo. In the wedding planning mood - got a little free booklet from Things Remember.

Week from Hell is over....

Yay the school week from hell is over. I spent a total of about 7 hours in the library last night from 3pm until 10pm. Okay so I did take a break to go back to my room and eat left overs from my lunch, but for the most part I was in the library. My mom came up yestday and we had a nice afternoon out. She brought up a ton of Halloween decorations and Atkins stuff. Then we went to the bank and a gas station so she could get coffee, gas and cigarettes. (Yes my mom smokes and is always saying she has to quit.) Anyway then we stopped at a Vintage clothing/furniture store. I didn't want to stop in at first because most 'vintage' place are just full of crap. But we actually each found something we liked. She found very hippy style fringe/patchwork style jeans (indeed not vintage but hippy looking nonetheless) and I found a dark/olive green long skirt that has elastic parachute style ties at the waist and bottom. I think someone will know what I'm talking about. The skirt is a bit tight around the stomach/thigh area but it looks good and should fit better if I lose a bit more weight but its okay if I don't as well. Then we went to a really good Mexican restraunt and sat upstairs looking over Saint Augustine. The food was really good and decently priced. Oh in the Vintage store I did see a Royal Wedding magazine from 1981 (wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Di of course.) it was originally 1.85 pounds, the Vintage store wanted $14 for it - ummm no. I got my skirt for $16 and will get a lot more use out of that hehe. Talked to Pete earlier on the phone - he has to go to bed as he has to get up at like 5am to go to work tomorrow :( But at least he'll be paying off his credit card bill for the flight, and therefore having more money to come here with. yay.

I had an idea of another things to get Pete for our anniversary coming up - you know those things with your name on them and what it means etc. Well I was thinking of getting his name and my name for him. What do you think ? I dunno whether I like the album idea better or not. Might go to the mall this weekend as I think they sell the name things there this time of year so I'll see how much those run. Hmph. Anyway going to watch a movie or two tonight with my mom - Anger Management (that Pete and I saw in the cinema last time I was there,) and The Family Man, which I recently got on dvd. Ooo my mom just came home with pizza - the new Papa John's Barbeque Chicken Hawiian Pizza! It tastes a lot like the Texas BBQ pizza at UK Dominos - but with pineapple mmmmmm must tell Pete tomorrow about it - he will want some! Obviously Atkins hasn't been going well this week but I haven't weighed myself in 2 weeks, might do tomorrow morning just to see where I stand. Ta-ta.

Playing Catch up...

Ah. Why do stupid classes cram EVERYTHING into a week ?! Today I spent all day in the library typing up a script for my Mass Media Production class. I was suppose to spend the day working on my feature article for my Writing for Mass Communications class but last night I offered to type up the script as I was a writer on it and didn't really contribute all that much to that. This week has been hell. I was staring at my feature article for 30 minutes and got a paragraph done. Ugh. My mom might come up tomorrow to visit - she bought me tons of Atkins stuff today and might bring up some Halloween decorations yay. I really should spend tomorrow working on my feature article but I will have from 4:30 on to work on it so maybe I'll be okay. Just maybe. I feel bad, I met Pete online at 4pm while I was in the middle of writing the script and really didn't chat to him much at all. He has to work then next to Saturdays and Sundays :( But that should pay off his flight. Hmm he booked the tickets almost 2 weeks ago and they still haven't come through the post - grrr. He said they're having a strike so that probably has a lot to do with it. Ah Royal Mail sucks as much as USPS if not more. Bah.

Worn out...

Been a long day, not too much completed. Have tons more to do this week. Just watched Gilmore Girls as a little break and had some very unhealthy mozzarella sticks. Have a headache :( My jaw also hurts and has been hurting on and off for a few weeks now - weird. Not sure if it has something to do with my teeth or what. Anyway going to shower because I reek of Molly's and then read some Brit Lit or work on something else...

Weekend...

Had a pretty relaxing weekend considering I had a 4+ hour test. I got some studying done for my big Psychology of Personality test on Tuesday so yay me. Pete called me earlier...we had some laughs at the expense of his parents and grandparents - he was just making impressions of how they don't really listen if he joins in on a conversation during dinner and they don't so it was pretty funny ;) I got depressed though after awhile of chatting, I don't know why, just kind of feel like they don't like me or something. I don't like the way they treat Pete sometimes but when I spoke up about it in the past it turned into this whole big thing. So anyway I have learned to keep my mouth shut, I know its not that they don't like me I can't really explain it though. Anyway. Been a bad Atkins week/weekend. Been having Reeses cravings and cookie cravings grrr. Must be better this week. I didn't weigh myself this week so I'll see how it goes for the weight thing next weekend. I don't think I've gained any back which is good. Well best be off here might go post on Web CT for my Brit Lit class. Ooo by the way - I got an A on my Brit Lit test I took on Weds, and an A on my Magazine Cover I turned in a week ago last Friday. Yay me.

Christmas crackers...

Christmas is coming up fast, indeed it is. I'm starting to see decorations out which I think is nice because it means Pete will be here soon yay. So I was looking at buying Christmas crackers online - because there is no where around here that sells them and Pete can't bring them on the plane with him (technically I think he could but he would have to take the cracker part out - which defeats the whole purpose of them.) Geez they're so expensive online even for the crappy gifts! They also have wedding crackers on the that site which I think is cool - must enter that into memory for wedding planning time lol. Well thats all for now - being lazy. Dorm is a mess have clothes hanging up everywhere because stupid dryers don't dry! Grrr.

Interesting...

Ooo I saw Sarah found out how to do Titles so now I did too, interesting. Anyway lol

Blah

Work up at 6:45am to get up and get ready, go to breakfast before the 8am test. Well I decided to lay back down for a few mins and I woke up at 7:30 ah! So I threw clothes on and went to breakfast and then went to the test. It was okay, the essay and reading/english part was really easy - I dunno if I did so good on the math part. If anything, I'll have to re-take that section of the test grr. Got an A on my Brit Lit test I took on Weds yay. Anyway not much going on - have to go down and put another 50 cents in the dryer ugh.

Friday Five

1. What vehicle do you drive?

I drive a '92 Silver/Gray Toyota Tercel, 2 door.

2. How long have you had it?

Since around August 2000.

3. What is the coolest feature on your vehicle?

Umm probably my CD player.

4. What is the most annoying thing about your vehicle?

It doesn't have AC which is really annoying in Florida most of the year!

5. If money were no object, what vehicle would you be driving right now?

Hmmmm. Not sure really. I know Pete would say a Viper hehe. I would like either one of those nice new minis or something similarly cute and small ;)

Well nothing much going on here. I told Pete I'd email him if I decided not to go to Walmart after work, and I decided not to so I emailed him from my phone before I got online because well it was easier and he isn't on. Might email him again. Grrrr.

Hello. I'm really tired at the moment. My Child Psych test went pretty good and I was done within 20 mins. So I had an hour to come back and relax before my next class. Have a test in my Psychology of Personality class on Tues and it will be REALLY hard. So I have to start studying probably tonight - if not tomorrow. I do have to go over stuff for the CLAST on Saturday though so might do that tonight. FRIENDS is on at 8pm so that'll be my break. Guess thats it for now ;)

Brit Lit test went pretty good - think I only missed 1 and a 1/2 multiple choice questions. Have Child Psych test at 8am tomorrow grrr. Have been studying for that - think I know it pretty well. Over the weekend I got The Family Man at Walmart for $10, it's the Collector's Edition too. Pete and I saw it at the movies back in December 2000, the last time he came for xmas :) Its a really cute movie. Anyway tomorrow I have my 2 psych classes and then I have to work on my assignment due on Friday for my Writing for Mass Communications class. At least I don't have a test on Friday - woohoo. But I do have a stupid 5 hour one on SATURDAY at 8am! Ahhhhhh, stupid CLAST. Anyway g'night.

Hmmm. I'm thinking about getting Pete this for our anniversary. I'll add a few pics of us and get it engraved with our names and such. What do you think ? I'm thinking it isn't very manly but I have NO IDEA what else to get him ;) I'll probably get him a dvd or something along with that to even out the unmanliness (that probably isn't a word.)

Added a countdown until when Pete arrives in Orlando - at the bottom of the page ;) 71 days yay. My right menu is a bit longer than my main part for some reason, hmph. Anyway best be off to chat with Pete before I have to go take my Brit Lit test ;)

Welcome October. It's been cloudy here for the last 3 days and I have LOVED it - get to wear jeans without dying of heat stroke. So it feels like October here, well as much as it can in FL - cloudy, bit of wind, high of about 75F Yes thats nice for us ;) I'm tired. Roommates mom called at like 6:30am or something, then her very loud alarm went off and she hit the sleep button and it went off again, and again. Grrr turn the bloody thing down and get up the first time I goes off!!!! So I didn't sleep well after about 6:30 and had to get up at 8am for my 9am class. Have a Brit Lit test later and then a Child Psych test tomorrow - ugh.

Hi. Just got back from eating gross food in the dining hall :( They had good lunch today though - freshly made Caesar salad with freshly cooked chicken breast on top - yummy. I also had a nice piece of chocolate cake with vanilla icing mmmm. So I guess I shouldn't complain too much about dinner. Had some 'fried chicken breast' few bites of that, and half a salad and a peanutbutter cookie. Might end up doing to Molly's and getting non-healthy food later after my meeting with my TV project group for my Mass Media Productions class. Hmph that's at 7pm. Pete and I talked earlier and we're in a better mood - though it didn't help that today he got assaulted by one of his supervisors...basically the guy went psycho and held him by the throat and was about to punch him but he didn't. That was out of line. Anyway he's looking into start at the Open University in January and then maybe next Fall or Spring (2004) going to the community college here (well in my hometown.) Thing is he would need a sponsor to be able to say he has $20,000 per year that he would be studying - which makes sense but it annoying. Anyway we'll see what happens.

Hi. Not too chatty at the moment. Had a pretty emotional evening yesterday and have been emotional today. I saw Walk Away the Pounds Express at Walmart last night - does anyone have that one ? I saw the boxset of the 1&2 Mile and the 3 Mile with the stretchy thingy for like $38. I might treat myself to it sometime or ask for it for xmas or something. Pete and I have been engaged for 3 months as of yesterday - woohoo. We're going through a bit of a rough time at the moment which has something to do with my family but I won't get into it.

Evening. Just went up to check on my niece and nephew and they are sleeping like little angels hehe. At my sister and brother-in-law's house by the way ;) Oooo good news. I chatted with Pete earlier today and he surprised me again by booking the flight before we got online to chat :) He's also coming direct on British Airways which is awesome - he'll arrive around 6:30pm instead of like midnight if he would have had a connecting flight. Seems as though all the flights we were looking at on Ebookers (the cheapest connecting ones) rose in price by 100 quid today. Typical really it always seems to do that to us, so he decided to just splurge and pay the extra for a decent airline and direct flight yay. He'll be here in 2 months and 15 days. (December 12th) And is leaving January 12th :( But we won't think about that part :) Feel a bit bad cause when we met online I was all pissed off about my magazine cover and cursing Adobe so I wasn't too impressed about the flight booking but now I'm really excited ;) I'll probably add a proper countdown on here soon. Anyway goodnight I guess.

Afternoon.

Wow its afternoon already! Geez. Yeah I can't seem to get the HTML coding right for the moment for the cute pic of my niece - I might try again on that in a minute. Weighed myself this morning - I've lost 2 lbs this week which is good - total up to 15 lbs woohoo. I still want to lose another 15 or so but we'll see how that goes. Oooo Pete surprised me a bit this morning by asking me to check if the site we're booking his flight from (probably ebookers) takes American Express. I checked for him, he couldn't do it as he was on his friend's comp and didn't have the link. I said yeah it did, and then he said that we'd book the flight tonight! yay! I thought it would have to wait til next weekend but he has an American Express now too so he's all bling-blingin' with two credit cards ;) Anyway thats the excitement for today. I've been working on my magazine cover for my Mass Media Production class and Adobe is majorly confusing but its coming along. Funny thing is my brother who is taking a graphic design class in HS knows more about Adobe than me so I need to wait til he comes home to help me hehe. :) I'm babysitting my niece and nephew tonight and probably staying over my sister's. Bring my Brit Lit book to read some boring women writers (not boring cause they're women of course just boring in general.) Ooo good thing about my sister's house is she has satelite so she has BBC America Woohoo hehe. Yes I'm pretty sad! ;)

My Niece

Hi hi. I'm watching Coupling on NBC. I know there is an orginial UK version of the show, I used to watch it on BBC America when we had it ;) I don't really remember too much of it so I can't really compare and contrast it but anyway. I didn't do my walking today, just decided to relax and watch Must See TV hehe. I re-did the US-UK page of my site a minute ago. I'm going to add a US page and a UK page later if I figure out what to say but I dunno maybe I'll just leave it how it is. My roommate went home today to go to a DR appointment tomorrow so its nice to have the place to myself tonight. I have my Mass Media Production lab at 8am til 9:50am UGH. So I might just go to bed early. Anyway I guess Coupling is over (the epidsode seemed familiar so its probably pretty much like the UK version.) Hmph.

Evening blog world.

Again not much going on. I've been feeling pretty tired and worn out today. I might be coming down with a cold or maybe just PMSy. I dunno. Its so cold in here! I swear the AC must be down really low! Autumn began yesterday officially - doesn't feel like it here around 85F and muggy. Ick. Florida. Maybe it'll get cool by mid to late Oct. One can only hope. This week has been going by pretty fast which is good and bad - good because its almost the weekend, bad because I have stuff do next week plus a few tests ugh. College sucks sometimes. Everything ok on the roommate front, I feel kinda bad because I didn't invite her to dinner tonight when my old suitemate came by and asked if I wanted to go - oh well. Oh I did add new buttons to the Story of Us page, and new graphics to the football page. I still need to re-do the US/UK page and the Online Love page but I will do that eventually. Plus I want to rearrange my book club page and add more books etc. Well I'm going to go lay down and read a bit before going to bed. Night.

Evening. Hmph not much to say today. I always feel tired on Tuesdays and Thursdays because I have two classes in a row from 8am - 10:45am. I'm trying to watch Frasier at the moment - my antenna is crap though so it's really snowy and hard to see after a few minutes until you mess around with it again and then it does the same thing again. Grrr. I had an urge to re-do the graphics on my website so I just did the engagement page over again. I like it a lot better now ;) I used wedding graphics from Cute Colors but just the backround and the banner so it's not that bad hehe. I'm in the mood for a reeses so maybe I'll go and get one real fast unless I can resist it ;)

Have you ever woken up with a really bad feeling? It's hard to describe, I guess like an anxiety something isn't going to turn out good. I had that this morning and all through the day about my relationship with Pete. It was weird. Not that I felt I was going to break up with him or anything but just that it wouldn't work in the end of something. Anyway I talked to him about it when we were chatting and he got all upset and worried ;( He asked me if I was still in love with him or if I thought maybe I just loved him as a friend since we've known each other so long. Of course I'm still in love with him! So he felt better after that. I have to stop scarring him like that! I guess the feeling was a combination of things: school, worries about the future, planning the next trip (and inevitable leaving each other again) and etc. But it went away after I told him about it so that was good :) I feel a lot better now about everything. Guess I just had to talk to him, it always helps to get it out of your head. So I have to do something for him so he knows I love him since I scared him today ;) Anyway going to WATP I think, shower, and do some reading. No additional weird roommate things today but I will keep you all posted!

Hi. Ooo I joined an England fanlist thanks to Jennie for the link. On there I took an England Quiz - it's different than any others I've seen - I got at 70% so I guess thats not bad ;) PS Its under the 'fun stuff' section ;)

Weird roommate thing of the day:

Well it just gets better and better really. I just went to check my college email just to see if I got anything from a few clubs I am interested in joining. Well there's an email from someone saying "Hi." I think okay maybe its someone from one of the clubs...no it's from my ROOMMATE. What the heck?! She starts off saying "I"m not very good at emailing people..." So then I think she might say she's upset at me for something or wants to move out or something. No. She just thinks sending emails to each other would be a good way to get to know each other. Ummm, WE LIVE IN THE SAME ROOM! Hello! She also asked if I thought our room was a "friendly place"? It's only been like 2 and a half weeks how friendly or not friendly can it be. Anyway I emailed her back and said that we'll get to know each other with time and stuff. And also mentioned that she could actually talk to me in person if she wanted to. Something tells me this is going to be a long year.

Not a lot going on. I've been straightening up the house a bit, reading Chaucer (God shoot me,) and working on my magazine cover for my Mass Media Production class. I weighed myself earlier at the store, I only lost one pound this week. It has been a really bad Atkins week but I wanna get back on track again this coming week. But I have lost a total of 13 lbs in a little over a month so I'm happy about that. Pete is going to call me later so that will be nice to talk to him again for the 3rd day in a row - woohoo. Anyway I'm outta here. Might be back later.

For a person who wants to become a writer I really don't check over my post before I hit publish - I didn't mean "home" in the previous post I meant "come." As in: "Pete will be booking his flight to come here..." Geez. I should be reading Brit Lit but I'm not, Chaucer is semi-interesting but not on a Friday night!

Just got off the phone with Pete. We've talked on the phone two days in a row - yay. Yesterday I called him for like 23 minutes (as thats all that was left on my phonecard when making an international call.) Then earlier I called him because he was all depressed and missing me :( I'm usually the one that gets like that more so he needed cheering up. He always make me laugh so much ;) This time next week he should be booking his flight to home here, probably online. I think ebookers will be the cheapest for him, but we'll see next week! We were talking a bit about getting married and stuff, was one of the first time's we've talked about it since being engaged - and it felt really nice and kinda serious. Not like we have any plans or anything but I kinda dawned on me that its nearly 2004 and we'll probably be getting married in 2006 which means not too long to go before we really need to decide. Kinda makes me feel unprepared like its not going to happen then if we don't buckle down and start moving. We haven't even really decided what route to we will take with immigration...K-1 Visa or something else. All this talk is making me anxious and a bit depressed! I was all happy a minute ago :(

I'm hungry, today hasn't been a good atkins day at all. Going to weigh myself tomorrow morning just to see how it goes. Ugh going to find something to eat. House is a mess and as always I've come home and will probably clean it up. Grrrrr. Sometimes blogging makes you think too much!

Oh by the way... I don't know about everywhere else but a few weeks ago Hope Springs came out in the theatres (with Colin Firth, Heather Graham, and Minnie Driver.) I checked the movies last weekend and it said it was still playing at the local theatre, well not it says its coming out in theatres in Dec 2003 ??!! Whats up with that? Was I just imagining it was out or something ? Ah now I'm depressed and crazy - great combination!

Since I'm "British in my head" I thought I'd share some things I love about England (well Britain overall I guess but I've only been to England so thats all I have experience of.)


Stores:

* WHSmiths (they have them in airports here now, saw one in the Orlando airport but didn't go in so I dunno if it's the same.) It's great! You can get magazines, books, stationary, office supplies, dvd's and cd's all in one place. If I were ever to move to the UK I would like to work there ;) I currently have a 'Mad Cow' mid-year diary (planner) from there - so cute!

* NEXT - They have the best clothes! I get all my really nice clothes there. Pete's mum got all my xmas presents last year from there as they were having sales hehe I made out like a bandit!

Food:

Yorkshire puddings, trifle, the fact that they put double cream on EVERYTHING, also I think the Chinese food it better there.

Snacks:

Posh (Pot) noodles, Walker's posh crisps, penguins, jammy doggers, Guylian (sp?) Beligian Seashells (not english obviously), Cadbury's etc etc.

Drinks:

Apple Tango (diet preferrably,) Fanta (they have it here in cherry, grape, orange and maybe lemon but its not the same!) I prefer their coffee, which is instant and isn't as strong as coffee here.

I have few things I don't like about England but I'll save those for another time ;) I'm sure there is stuff I have forgotten that I like ;) Ooo - I like the greeting cards better there, and 'Me to You' bears and etc.

Now when I hover over the image the date links to that page as well...ugh I hate html just cause I am so bad at it! Grrr. Argh... now my text is showing up white and light blue when its clicked. What the heck is going on ??!

Is it me or is the link messed up on my "British in my head" image for the clique? Click on it and you should get here. Ah I've check it but I should just check it again as I'm really daft when it comes to html.

Ooo thanks Jennie for the link ;) You know me too well hehe.

Baby Face




Awwww. He's so cute. His sister is also cute, but I'll post a picture of her another time when I get a really cute one ;)

I tried to post earlier but it got messed up. So here are the highlights:

* I have walked 250 miles in exactly 8 months. That's an average of 31.25 miles per month, so about a mile a day. Woohoo go me.

* My niece and nephew turned 9 months old yesterday ;) awww.

* I saw my roommate's boyfriend and he isn't that bad looking. And roommate is being nice today.

Alright now I am going to go walk, shower, read and maybe pop in a DVD. Night.

(a new section to blab about my weird roommate)
Weird roommate thing of the day:

Okay so its around 5pm my roommate just got in. I'm changing the CD in my alarm clock/cd player. I put in the Alice Deejay CD (from like 2000) and the club anthem type music starts. I guess my roommate doesn't like this because she puts on her headphone (attached to her cd player) and starts singing along, and in a rather annoyed tone says in a loud voice.."Sorry! I tend to sing!" What the heck ? God she's weird. Is it just me or is that kinda weird and rude ?! Anyway going to WATP then shower and maybe put on a DVD or something - feel unacademic, but I did read a chapter in my child psych book so I'm going alright in that sense I guess.

Ha I might be getting Pete to start a blog ;) Maybe not, I dunno its up to him but it would be cool so that I could read what he writes :) Doing a meme just because:

Grossology

Name some of your favorite, and perhaps admittedly disgusting, snackfoods.

Hmmm. I love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. English people think they are gross (I think a lot of Aussies do too.) It's not that I'm a big peanut butter fan, but the combination of chocolate and peanut butter in a reeses is beyond compare! mmmmm. They have a new *limited edition* white chocolate version out! I dunno how good that is, I have resisted trying it as they're totally not on Atkins. Getting a craving now though!

Pete says he might start a blog at the weekend - I shall keep you posted if he does hehe.

Oh and I had a dream this morning - between about 7am and 8am. I think Jennie and her hubby were in it but I really don't remember! It was one of those deep sleep dreams just before the alarm buzzed. I think Pete might have been in it too, interesting lol.

Another quick note - I just put up my reads and I need to put the other ones up there but I have to do that later because I had to re-save the blinkies and upload them to lycos again as they messed up. Also I still need to add the blimmin blinkies logo to the bottom - will do that soon as well! Sorry for the inconvenience!

Ok I think I'm done. I'm not too sure about the side menu area - I wanted a pale blue but went with the green. Hmmm. I really should stop messing around with this and do actual school work - ah. Broke down and got a Starbucks Vanilla frapp (ones in the glass bottles) from Molly's (campus snack place) was soo good! 37 carbs though! ah! I should be up to about 40 net carbs a day now so technically I have 3 carbs left but I've been having an apple for breakfast as I don't have my Morning Start breakfast bars and can't find a place around here which sells them (and I am NOT moving my car again until Friday *see yesterdays post for the reason*.) Anyway I have work for an hour at 11am and then I don't have class til 2:30 woohoo. I need to get some work done before my class though - but i really don't have too much actual work to do - more like planning a mag cover for my Mass Media Production class and a bit of reading. Well going now to change the colors of my zonk board and then check out my 2:30 class discussions on Web CT. Bye!

Hi hi. Like the changes?! Jennie got me in a purple mood so here it is. I'm happy with it, its something different. I'll try to get the zonkboard up soon but I should be doing actual work instead of mucking around with my blog.

Parking here sucks. Truly it does. You will not know unless/until you experience it for yourself. Around 11am I decided to go to Walmart (bad move!) I had spent 30 minutes on Sunday night trying to find a parking spot and finally did in this bit of sandy crappy dirt in back of the guys dorms. I was in walmart a total of like 20 mins, I got back to campus like less than an hour after I left and there were NO SPOTS. All the 'campus parking' was taken, as was all of the nearby metered spots. So I finally found one in a parking lot with meters in back of the Lightner Museum. Good thing I had a few quarters on me! I had to go back there at 2:30 and put another few quarters in, then finally at 5:45 I went and tried to move my car. I went around all the parking lots once, and was about to go again when someone pulled out of the one behind the guy's dorm - so I pulled right in. I'm never moving it again! Or at least not until Friday afternoon - then coming back earlier on Sunday so I can actually get a 'decent' spot. Anyway my roommate said she was 'going out' tonight. I guess with her boyfriend of a year - who goes to this school. Weird thing is I haven't seen a picture of him in the dorm nor have I met him yet. He's probably really ugly. hehe. My roommate is okay, she's just kinda strange. Oh well, best be off and do something kinda productive!

I'm back.

My blog is so boring. I don't even like any of the new templates (since blogger improved) so I dunno what I'll do. Just feel like a change. Might just pick a template or see what I can find online. I have no time though, I actually shouldn't even be on here, have a test at 8am so I better study. Ugh 8am classes suck and I have them 2 -3 days a week. Grrr. Well we'll see how long I keep this template up!

Oooo fun stuff

Have had a rather full day today :) Got up early and went to the motel where I painted the bases of the tables outside, and took some pics for my Mass Media Production class. Then I got changed and met my friend, Sara, at Super Target. We looked around a bit but neither of us saw anything we really wanted/need. We got frappacinos in the Starbucks bit in there ;) Mmmmm caramel frapp my fav! We also saw one of our old teachers from HS but avoided him as he's a bit weird lol. After that we decided to go and see a movie but we didn't know what was playing so we went to the one closest but all the movies were crap so we went to the next closest one and saw Pirates of the Caribbean. It was sooo good (better than I thought it would be and really funny in some bits.) Actually we had to wait an hour to see it so we looked around the shops in the shopping center there. After the movie we stopped off at PetSmart for something Sara needed for one of her dogs and then we decided to go to Steak n' Shake for dinner. Mmmmm so good. So yeah I cheated a bit on Atkins today but it was worth it ;)

That reminds me I weighed myself this morning and I have lost about 4 lbs this week - bringing my total up to 12 lbs in a little less than a month - yay me. Anyway chatting with Pete now and he's being all quiet so I'm getting worried - best be off!

Ooo too cool. If anyone is watching "While You Were Out" on TLC right now the mother who doesn't know about the room makeover is in St. Augustine for the weekend and on a carriage ride they passed Flagler College woohoo. Was weird seeing it on tv ;) Well off to watch the rest of the show. That reminds me I added pics of my dorm to my MSN group...if you're a member go check them out - the descriptions aren't written up yet but you can get the general idea I think ;)

Just looking at different people's names close to me - its amazing how right some of the things are! Here is what they say about Pete's name

Your first name of Peter creates individuality, independence, self-confidence, initiative, and an inclination to physical activity. You are not inclined to merge your opinions and viewpoints with others, to accept compromise, or to work in a subservient position against your will. Your expression is invariably quite direct and candid, and lacks the moderating tone of tact, diplomacy, and friendliness. Others find it difficult to accept your domineering and, at times, argumentative manner. Your circle of friends is restricted to those of like nature. Once friendship is established, you are very loyal and steadfast and do not tolerate gossip or criticism. In your close associations and family life, there is little demonstration of sentiment, appreciation, sympathy, or encouragement. It is difficult for you to find the right words for such circumstances.

Hmmm I would agree with everything except the domineering and arguementative manner and the lack of moderating tone of tact. Interesting!

What's in a Name?

(Side note - my 8am two hour communications lab was cancelled so I'm wasting time!)

Just went to check out the Friday Five for today. The last question sent me to this link, Kabalarian. This is what it had to say about my Name:

Your name of Julia has given you a practical, efficient, and capable nature, with a desire to participate in business ventures. Able to see how the details of a situation fit into the overall picture, you have good judgment regarding anything of a practical or technical nature. You are efficient, and capable of carrying a lot of responsibility, but your nature is so serious that personal association suffers. You demand as much from others as you do from yourself. It is difficult for you to merge your nature with others to create understanding, or to show love and tenderness to those close to you. You experience much misunderstanding and unhappiness in your personal life as a result.

Health weaknesses for my name:

Julia

Tension would affect the stomach and intestinal tract, and you could suffer with constipation, growths, or serious female disorders.

Hmmm interesting. Somewhat true - except for the showing love to people close to me and suffering misunderstanding and unhappiness in my person life! As for the health wekness...ummm pretty gross - don't want to think about those!

Well I guess I should do the FRIDAY FIVE now since I already mentioned it!

1. Is the name you have now the same name that's on your birth certificate? If not, what's changed?

Yup my name is the same as it was on my birth certificate. My confirmation name is Hannah but its not legal (unless I start using it - which would make my name way to long!) Full name: Julia Marie

2. If you could change your name (first, middle and/or last), what would it be?

Well no I wouldn't change my name, I really like it. I will probably change my last name when Pete and I get married, unless I want it hyphenated but I think it'll make it to long. Hmmm.


3. Why were you named what you were? (Is there a story behind it? Who specifically was responsible for naming you?)

My dad is responsible for naming me, he named me after his maternal grandmother. My mom wanted to name me Hannah after her maternal grandmother who was Irish (came here in around 1920?)


4. Are there any names you really hate or love? What are they and why?

Names I love for girls: Hannah, Chelsea, Isabella, Audrey (Pete doesn't like that one)

Names I love for boys: Michael and Ian

Names I hate: Camilla, Agnes, Hilda (anything that sounds old lady-ish) Don't really hate a lot of guys names - or at least I can't think of any at the moment ;)

5. Is the analysis of your name at kabalarians.com accurate? How or how isn't it?

See above!

~~~~~~Oooooo HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY TO SARA! ~~~~~~~~

I'm not going to talk about two years ago - what's the point? Really I don't mean to seem harsh or anything. (Sara you know me and we think alike so you know what I mean!) Last night the Candle Light Vigil was nice and then I went to a play in the Auditorium entitled "The Guys" about the Firefighters and etc.

Woo hoo welcome to high speed paradise! Okay not really - my comp is crap so how ever fast the internet gets my comp will slow it down! Ooo blogger had added spell check woohoo.

Well its somebody's birthday tomorrow...well in about an hour and 20 mins actually. Ooo and speaking of 20... hahahaha.

I have been slacking about blogging about what I eat, but I have been keeping track of it on paper so that's good :) Going to weigh myself on Saturday morning I guess - wish me luck!! I think I've done pretty good this week! Hmmm I could say more about today but maybe I'll save it for the weekend - lost of dorm stuff to vent about! hehe.

Would I get a British Passport ? I got 6 out of 10 but totally guessed on a few. The kettle one didn't make sense to me, but whatever hehe. I would get Pete to do it and see how he did but he's away with his job tonight so we're not chatting :( Oh well I'll probably tell him to take it tomorrow ;) Not much going on today. Think I got my roommate into Walk Away the Pounds..she did the one and two mile today ;) I've done the 3 mile for the past two nights in a row and will probably do it tonight. I smell food, or maybe I'm imagining it because I'm hungry!

Oh and by the way it wouldn't even help if Pete were here to do the DIY stuff because we're both clueless and hopeless and would probably be on the phone to our parents asking how to do thing. Yes we're sad ;) Theres a candle light vigil tonight in memory to tomorrow - think thats enough said. Will probably go to it, as I did last year and it was nice. Going to dinner with rommie in about 15 mins so must dash!

Jul's Daft DIY Disasters

Yes this is a new section dedicated to my total inability to put anything together properly. For the past week I've been trying to get my dorm set up...alright you say how bad can that be ? For someone with no hand-eye co-ordination and multitude of electronics to hook up - it can be very bad indeed. The easy stuff went first - phone and computer (easy enough as they are simple to set up and the comp is even color coded.) Then on Sunday night I brought my DVD player (another easy score - color coded simplicity.) Then comes trama. I had to get a network PCI card to install into my computer (because even though its only 2 years old its a piece of crap and doesn't have one in it.) So I got that on Sunday. After a few trials I got the cover to the computer off, pushed the card thingy in, and then i had to hook up a little wire to a connection thing. The wire has a little connecter thing which is literally the size of my pinky finger nail, actually smaller...and again I have NO HAND EYE CO-ORDINATION. So I haven't been able to fit the little wire into its little place, thus the reason I am still on AOL. Grrr. Alright gets better still... I got an antenna for my TV, it didn't come with directions to hook up, but it seemed pretty easy, just hook one end of the wire to the back to the TV and the other to the antenna muck around with it a bit and maybe I'll have something to watch.Umm no. Theres this little adaptor thing that I can't find a place to put...and the antenna gets nothing but static. Fast forward to a few minutes ago...I try to put together a little shelve thingy for my bathroom. I screw the main structure together, put the baskets where they're suppose to go..all I have to do is put the wheels on. Can I do that ? Nooo I try to push them in there, the 'instructions' (ie the backside of the little picture indicates that the wheels should click in...but they don't! So here I sit, with a half put together computer, a non-working antenna, and a shelve thingy with no wheels. I give up! My mom's coming up on Thurs maybe she can help me. I'm so daft!

Morning

Yes I'm alive. Actually I haven't been on the internet much lately - are you shocked ?! You should be! My internet connection through the school isn't hooked up yet - technical problems with my comp grrr. So to get on I gotta to the library - and when I get on there I usually just chat with Pete, blog hop a bit and then get off. Hmmm not much going on, just classes. I have no classes the rest of the day, only work for an hour at 3pm...so I should be reading the many chapters in various classes I have to but am I ? Of course not! Back on track with my walking and Atkins...must update my Wellness Journal for today - maybe in a few mins or later when I got the library (at the moment I'm on crappy AOL.)

Talked to Pete on the phone yesterday afternoon/evening. The AIM Express on the library comps weren't working and my comp was unplugged and I didn't feel like plugging it back in and getting on AOL so I just used the rest of my phone card (all 15 mins of it for an international call!) So we talked and then he phoned my back ;) I have to say I haven't laughed so hard in a long time, probably since I've back here since I left England. Most of the laughing was because Pete was doing an impression of his parents and stuff. At one point I couldn't even breathe I was laughing so hard ;) Awww I miss him ;) Looks like he will be booking the flight to come for Xmas at the end of the month! Yay!!! He will probably booking one off of Ebookers connecting somewhere in the US and then coming to Orlando (as those are like nearly half the price of a direct one!) Anyway my friend Sara's (Starbuck's) 20th Bday is on Friday!! WOoo hoo. We don't have anything planned for the weekend but she *should* be coming back to NSB so maybe we can arrange something ? (*Hint* Sara!) Well I'm hungry and I could go down to lunch, maybe around noon...should go read! Might post later!

Cleaning....

I spent about 3 hours cleaning all the outside doors, walls, windows, and chairs of the motel. I stink like cleaning stuff, I'm wet, and my fingers are all wrinkly. Remember I said I'd give you all a link to the poster I got at Walmart for $3 well here it is!! Its soo cute huh?! I wanna take pics to show my dorm of soon ;) Or at least my half of it hehe.

Chatting with Pete at the moment and talking about our relationship ;) Its so funny we can't even remember life without each other anymore we've been together so long hehe. We've also pretty much grown up together since we met so young. The other day my roommate asked me what my "fiance' did for work" LOL It was so funny to hear him addressed as that! I think thats the first person who actually referred to him as that directly ;) Anyway gotta make some errands today and get some stuff I need at Walmart and Radio Shack and etc. I'm hungry! Anyway thats about it for now. Bye!

At the moment I'm busy downloading off LimeWire. For some reason I thought to look for the Bud Light radio commercials "Real men of Genius' or 'Real American Heros." Pete loves them so I'm going to make him a CD ;) Some of them won't download but others just take awhile or a few tries. Anyway hope everyone has a good weekend!

Happy Friday!

My first 3 days of classes done with, back at home now. Yes, I come home most weekends, a lot of people think I should stay there because I am not getting the full *college experience* hmmmm but weekends around my college are dead. If you wanna party (which I don't) you have to go either an hour north or an hour south (where I call home.) So I come home. Yesterday was a pretty easy day class wise, I had two psych classes back to back and was done by 11:30am. Then I ended up going to lunch with my suitmate from last year and my current roommate. After that I went to the library to chat with Pete (as I have to get a thing for my free internet access which I haven't gotten yet.) I had work from 3 - 4:30, then did some reading and went to dinner with my roommate. Then we went to walmart. The walmart in St Aug is pretty ghetto, its one of those old walmarts that was converted to a 'super center.' So they have nothing really. I got a cute poster which I have a link to and might actually do the html to show it later. I wanted to get another rug for the bathroom to match the one I already paid for myself (as there was nothing in the bathroom and I had to decorate it!) But my roommate didn't want to chip in the $10 for it, but rather ask our suitemates if they wanted to split it 4 ways. I might just end up buying it myself, I hate dealing with people! I know ppl aren't made of money but she's going to using it isn't she?

Anyway after getting back from walmart I thought I saw my former roomie (one with psych now ex-fiance') getting out of her car with her current boyfriend. Anyway last night was club night, where all the school clubs try to recruit ppl, well I was going to go down there anyway to sign up for a few clubs. And the idea of bragging about the engagement to her tempted me more hehe. So I went down there a walked around a little bit and finally found her. I tapped her on the shoulder and said hello, she greeted me with a really exaggerated 'hey!' and a hug. Ummm ok. She asked me how I was and I said alright, and then I said 'and I'm engaged' and showed her my ring. She gave a really exaggerated excited yell...if you have ever seen 'My Best Friend's Wedding' think Cameron Diaz when she finds out Julia Roberts character is engaged. Thats what it was like, then she told her roommate and her boyfriend lol it was really funny ;) Had been waiting for that for nearly 3 month! haha. Gotta love bragging!

Anyway today I had a Mass Media Production lab at 8am, then work for 45 mins. I had to leave to go to a class I wanted to get into. I'm glad I got there early and stuff, cause I ended up getting in even though I wasn't on the waiting list because the ppl on the waiting list didn't show up. yay! I probably could have waited to take it til next semester or next fall but I wanted to get in it and get it over with. So then I dropped the Intro to Visual Art class I was in because I didn't need it and was going to be a lot of crap to read on top of my other courses.

Wednesday Whatevers
1. In your opinion what was the best summer movie this year?


Ummm gotta admit I haven't seen a lot of movies this summer :( I saw Anger Management when I was in England and that was really good - though it came out in the spring here I think.

2. Do you believe in the New Agey stuff like tarot cards and Ouija Board?


I use to think maybe I did but I don't now. Its all too coinicidental and silly.

3. What do you regret most?

Don't think I'm old enough to regret anything ;) Maybe not being too social (hence blogging lol)

Free Pizza, Heachache and Boredom

Ooo Dominos was giving out free pizza in the breezeway around lunch time! I had to break Atkins but I only had a little piece and threw away the crust...so its not that bad right ?! Dominos has weird pizzas - like the Philly Cheese Steak pizza and the Cheeseburger pizza or something like that. But unlike UK Dominos, they don't have Texas BBQ!! Why does the Dominos in England have a yummy bbq pizza named after a US state, when the US doesn't have it ???!! What's up with that ??!! Grr!

I'm trying to figure out what classes I wanna keep and what I wanna try to drop, and what I wanna pick up in place of it. Which gave me a headache earlier, and has only dulled since then. Guess I shouldn't be online with it but I'm bored. I thought my roomie and I were getting off to a good start last night - being chatty and such. And now today she is all dramatic about changing her major and needs 'time alone' to think. So I haven't seen her much of the day - only going in and out. My roomie from last year said I should come by and visit her and her roomie, which I became kinda friendly with last year, but I think it would be a little desperate to go up there tonight after they just made the offer today. My old roomie is in my Brit Lit class, which should be fun, as we got along alright last year. She said she saw our other old roomie, Laura, today but didn't really come face to face with her so she didn't say hi or anything. I wanna see Laura around just to tell her about the engagement hehe ;) As you may remember she was engaged to a psycho guy for about 4 months or so haha. Anyway headache increasing, might do some reading for classes. Have a 8am and 9:30 class tomorrow! Two psychs in a row! I kinda have made that my minor, as if I need one! English and Communications Major, Psychology minor = Lifetime in school. Ugh.

New Second Impressions

In my tiny dorm in Flagler College. I have everything unpacked, various posters up. I have listened to the same mixed cd I made last night 3 times, I'm bored. My roommate had a Dr appt at around 2pm and never came back hmmm. I'm on AOL as I don't have a cord long enough to reach the network for high-speed. I know I won't be bored starting tomorrow when classes begin and I start up work again in the mailroom, but right now I'm bored out of my head. I forgot my PSP 7 disk at home so I can't even mess around on that. Ooo taking Mass Media Producton so it looks like I should learn some of Adobe yay! On the diet front I had Subway for lunch with my mom, dad and brother so today was a waste, and I didn't bring my dvd player up yet so I can't do my walking - oh well. I ate very little yesterday so that will even it out I suppose. I think they had a cook-out in the breezeway but I'm not hungry and have no one to go with. Sharing a bathroom with the room next door and not really meeting them is a bit weird, I bought cute little mirror/shower sticker things and a bathmat to match, I should ask them for money for it - maybe later.

Ooo I saw one of my roommate from last year, Megan, while walking around. I told her about Pete and I getting engaged hehe she was all excited and said congrats so that was nice ;) I would tell you about my roommate but I really haven't had a chance to talk much to her, she sounded really nice and cool on the phone but in person she's kinda whiny which sucks, she kept complaining about the room over and over again grrrr. Like I can't see that its small! Anyway I got the big closet and she got the bed next to the window, she got the mirror and mantal of the fireplace (they don't work so don't get all excited - dorm used to be a hotel in the late 1800's) and I, the corkboard. An even exchange I guess. I saw Jennie on MSN but she conveniently but her *away* thingy on hehe sneaky. That reminds me earlier I got online to see if Pete was on, it was our usual time to chat. So I see his AIM name online so I say hey (with a ton of xxx's) and then go on to say that I'm at the dorm and my roommate never came back. And then his name replies, and it was actually his dad! hehe. oops. I guess his comp automatically signs AIM on and since Pete used Tony's when his wasn't working it looked as though he was on hehe. Good thing I didn't say anything too mushy lol would get made fun of for ages for that lol. Well better go and do nothing. Might walk to the library just to get out of the room.

Packing...

I'm like a nomad, seems like I'm always either packing or unpacking. Less than a month ago I unpacked from spending a month and a week in England, now I'm packing to move into my dorm at college. I'm excited about tomorrow, mostly because I'm getting away from here. Things have become unbearable today but I won't get into it here. I feel tired and emotionally drained. I dunno what to do anymore or what not to do. Tomorrow has to be better, nothing can be much worse than today.

6 Years

Wow it's been six years since Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a car crash in Paris. At the time I was 13 and a bit obsessed about the whole thing lol. E! Entertainment Television is having a row of True Hollywood Stories and etc on her...might watch one tonight - not that it'll be any different from what I already know from tons of books and shows and stuff. To be honest it was pretty stupid of them to leave the hotel, but whatever. Anyway having a BBQ today at my sister's hehe. Eating a yucky morning start breakfast bar to curb my hunger til later.

Evening

I weighed myself today, I was suppose to wait til Monday but with the holiday and tomorrow going to a BBQ at my sister's and there being cake there (for my uncle's gf's birthday) I decided to weigh myself today and not count tomorrow. I lost 3 lbs this week! yay! Total of 8 lbs now, I'm suppose to increase my net carbs by 5 per week now until I get to 40 grams then stop and do that until I'm close to my goal weight (which is about 30 lbs lighter than what I was originally.) So I'm not doing bad, I have cheated a little though. I think if I continue to mangage my carb intake (which is getting easier) and continue exercising I should at least maintain this weight and maybe lose a bit more.

I never seem to know who sings songs on the radio. I didn't know Daniel Bedingfield sang "Gotta Get Through This" or "If You're Not the One" Hmmmm. He has an interesting voice. Just downloaded those two songs from LimeWire. Anyway emotional family drama today. Ended up calling Pete and not really talking too much. Anyway going to get off here and watch 4 Weddings and a Funeral on the TV station Oxygen for the 100th time - its just not the same with all the curse words edited ugh lol.

Evening

What happened today ? Not a lot. I did 3 miles of WATP for Abs, showered, got dressed, watched tv, cleaned a bit, tried to find my dorm stuff to no avail. Tried an Atkins breakfast bar for breakfast - it was alright, pretty filling. Later I made Atkins brownies, I was only suppose to have one but I've had like 3 small ones throughout the day lol. Opps. Jennie has inspired me to make a few new banners and re-do the graphics on my index page for my homepage to a fall theme, the cottage is a bit off center so I have to go back and fix that but Pagebuilder was messing up earlier at the motel. Wanted to redo some more graphics as well, since cute colors is closing its club as of Dec 31st so I have to use up and download all the sets I like :) Notice the link to my homepage on right - quilt square by Graphic Garden who has always had really cute linkware stuff ;) Pete and I have decided for the moment to try to get 'romantic' things for each other for our 5th anny... thanks to Jennie I think I am going to get him something personalized - which I can't show here for obvious reasons. Ooo the new season of What to Wear (rip off of BBC version) is starting on TLC tonight so I'll watch that and maybe read my book thats due back to the library on Tues., "Bad Heir Day" hehe.

Friday Five

1. Are you going to school this year ?

Yup. I move into the dorms on Tues and classes start on Weds

2. If yes, where are you going (high school, college etc.) If no, when did you graduate?

I'm starting my second year of college - woohoo almost to the half way mark!

3. What are/were your favorite school subjects?

English/Communications classes I guess since its my major, more specificially British Lit and etc.

4. What are/were your least favorite school subjects?

Math! Last semester I took the last math class I will ever have to take in my life! yay!

5. Have you ever had a favorite teacher? Why was he/she a favorite?

Ummm in my HS there were so weird teachers and some good ones....don't think I could pick a favorite. Some let us watch X-Files all day, and some played hockey with balled up pieces of paper, some taught us goggle songs, and some made us sing happy birthday. Ah Lopez days, I don't miss them but there were some fun times!

Oooo We've been Engaged for 2 Months!

Just realized while looking at Jennie's blog, that Pete and I have been engaged for 2 months today! yay! I've gotten use to wearing my engagement ring, and I don't sit and stare at it as much anymore - but I really like how it gets sparkly in the sun ;) I was thinking today how undramatic Pete's proposal was hehe, no big plan or trip, no huge sign saying "Will you marry me?" etc. Maybe its because we talked about it so much, even before we met in person (which I think is a bit weird now.) Besides Pete would never get down on his knee in front of a whole crowd or anything and I wouldn't want him to lol I don't like ppl staring at me call me paranoid or something, I just like to blend in. Thing is the proposal was so surreal and I was so giggly and girly that I really don't actually remember if he was on his knees or just just standing by the bed when he asked me. Anyway it seems so much longer ago than 2 months and not that long ago - as everything does in an LDR. Ugh.

Went to the health food store and got a *few* Atkins brand things which are low carbs. I say a few because for what I got it was really expensive! $32!!! I got Atkins pancake mix, brownie mix, 2 'chocolate and peanutbutter' snack bars, a pack of torilla shells for wraps and such, and 2 boxes of morning start breakfast bars! The 'chocolate' was crap - ate one thing of it and a piece of the other. Been dying for pancakes so I might make those tomorrow for breakfast, and maybe the brownies tomorrow or for my sister's on Sunday. I can't find half of the stuff for my dorm I brought home last year :( Its probably hidden under a bunch of crap in the garage or maybe even the attic. Ummm what else has happened today ? Not too much..Pete's on his own for the weekend as his parents went away for the weekend with the Aussies who are staying with them ;) So he really wishes I was there. Wanna work on the engagement scrap book more, maybe do that tonight - use up the Me to You stickers Pete got me when I was in the UK last Dec/Jan. Anyone have any ideas what I could do for Pete for our 5th Anniversary of being a couple ? I'm at a loss for ideas as we've given each other everything basically lol. Well bye for now!

Morning

Feel blah and sleepy. I was watching a wedding story on TLC and got into a wedding-like mood so I thought I'd take out my prom dress from junior year of HS. It was the dress I got but didn't end up wearing, as it was too formal for the prom. Its a white dress with a ribed corset like top and the bottom poofs out. It doesn't fit me anymore either which sucks, my goal is to fit back into it. Anyway thats not that bad part, I took it out of its plastic and there are yellow dots on the back and a bit of the front of it :( So I'm upset about that, might be some aging or something. Its been in plastic for over 2 years so that might have a lot to do with it, my mom is going to see if it can be cleaned. I kinda want it as my wedding dress as its really lovely and as it was a prom dress it was less expensive than a lot of wedding dresses will be, think it was about $200. Anyway see how that goes :( Not much else to report on, dieting going alright today - had to celery sticks and peanut butter for breakfast ugh. My mom found a health food store that carries a lot of Atkins brand food so I might go there today and get some stuff.

Hello!

In a good mood at the moment :) I just got a little leaflet from my college about Student Updates and such! Looks like we will be getting free high speed internet access in the dorm rooms yay! No more AOL and paying for it! Which means I'll have to get a free email account somewhere...where is the best ? Ooo my friend Sara now has a LiveJournal all about her and etc, will get her permission before I link it here though! She's a hoot! Anyway I'm well chuffed about the internet access (ok I said chuffed, turning english...help me please ;))

Went to the mall today with my sister :) She wanted to have a sisters day out and buy me a outfit for school yay! I ended up getting a black top with an abstract looking plaid design on it in pink and white and black stretchy comfy but really nice looking trousers/pants, also got a necklace to go with it :) Then I got myself a bag for my school books in The Gap, it was orginially $40 marked down to $20 :) Then we went to Hops for lunch, it wasn't great and they didn't give us any of their yummy bread - which I can't have anyway but still! Anyway thats about it for now, might be back later if the urge strikes!

New haircut, same me.

Got a haircut today! Woohoo! Okay not really, its basically the same as what I got the last time I went to get it cut...I like it I might actually keep up with it and go every 6 weeks like you're suppose to, well lets see if I have time for that.

Ugh it seems to be getting hotter and hotter EVERYDAY and I live in Florida so I guess I should be glad I have a pool (at my parents motel) and the ocean to cool off in. Its nearly Sept with no sign of Fall, even though FL really doesn't have many seasons... just hot, not so hot, or 'cold' which isn't really cold. Thank god for AC!

Pete has two Aussie's staying with his parents for a month, they were friends of Pete's uncle who lived in Austrialia who died in July. Tony was really excited about them coming so I hope they have a good time. Pete said to his mum they're becoming an international hotel with all the different ppl that stay there hehe. Very generous people my future in-law's gotta love 'em! Anyway getting off the comp as the AC doesn't reach this area and I'm about to die of the heat!

Just got off the phone with my new roomie she sounds nice, I really should organize what I am bringing as I am moving in ONE WEEK! Where has the time gone ? Guess most of it was spent in the UK. I sent a text to SARA if you read this girl, whats up ?! Anyway ta-ta going to go see if I can find my dorm stuff somewhere in this mess of a house!

Evening

Listening to: Cold Play - The Scientist

Awwww Pete was so cute today on the phone :) I called him after we met online, after his dad got off the phone. I really miss being with him, but Xmas is coming up just around the corner and soon the flight will be booked and the next countdown will begin yay! Anyway the cute bit about Pete, he said he missed me so much this weekend (he was away with his fam for his granddad's 70th Bday and we had no online contact) and that it showed him how much he loved me and how much I mean to him :) Its hard to imagine that once upon a time we only chatted online over the weekend and would email during the week, doubt if we could do that anymore!

I was thinking about him doing a course over here at the local community college and staying in my room while I was at school during the week in St. Aug, the only thing is for international students the government or someone requires them to have $20,000 per year for expenses so that they aren't poor and living on the streets etc. Which I can understand...but how would Pete get that much $$$ ? Especially without repaying it for years (as I will be). Grrr so if it does happen that won't be til a year from now if he can get that arranged. In a way it just seems easier to wait til I'm out of college for him to come here and we can get married, but even then I won't have any money which scares me. Hmph. Well I've turned a short little post into a long ramble! My roomie is calling me back at 9pm, as I called her around 6:30pm and she was just going out for a few hours. She sounds really nice :) Feel a bit blah - might be PMSy or something. Nighty night.

Wedding Cakes ...

Alright so I shouldn't be looking at this stuff, as Pete and I probably won't be getting married for another 3 years, but... while I was at the grocery store I picked up a leaflet about their wedding cakes mmmmm. I know English wedding cakes are fruit cakes I believe, Pete's mum makes them and she mentioned to me when I was over there thats what they were, I also found this site about English Wedding Traditions that I bookmarked. Call me odd but I don't think I have ever had fruit cake, so I dunno how that tastes really. Anyway I know what kind of cake I want hehe I have to make sure Pete likes it but I think he does has he a piece of it while he was here for the first time I think... I want a cheesecake with cream cheese icing and raspberry filling! Doesn't that sound incredible rich and yummy ?!

Anyway I know I'm crazy hehe. Ooo Pete said he should be able to book the flight for him to come here for Xmas around late Sept yay! So I shall have to look at flight prices and find the best deal! Though he will probably want a direct flight which should be pretty inexpensive for xmas time, they only really jump up in the summer. Going to phone my new roomie later, gunna go check if she emailed me back ;)

Just went to the store and weighed myself - I have lost 5 lbs since last Monday! Yay! Ooo also happy that Pete is home and we are chatting online :) He emailed me on my phone and then I tried to call him but the scary call waiting lady came on! Brrr! Anyway happy me!

Hi hi. Busy day today. We had 5 check outs at the motel, but we got done with them all in about 3 hours which is really good. Also my new roommate for my dorm in college called while I was at the motel, so I'm happy about that. From what my mom has said she sounds really nice :) I emailed her and said I would try to give her a call tomorrow evening - even though I don't like calling people I don't already know but hopefully it'll be alright. Tomorrow Pete comes home from being away for the weekend, yay! He said he would email me when he got in and maybe call me, so I'm excited to talk to him again seems like ages since we chatted!! Tomorrow is also a week since I started the Atkins Diet and weigh in day, which I will do at the grocery store as they have a proper scale which is way more accurate than me little crappy one (the one I have is about 15 lbs heavier! Whats up with that ?) My brother is watching Sliding Doors, one of my favs so I'm watching it too, though as I've seen in about 500 times I know it by heart but the ending still pisses me off!! Anyone who has seen it will know what I mean!! Anyway going to bed soon, probably when Slidings Doors is over hehe ;)

Some things never change...

Its amazing how the smallest things never seem to change no matter how much time goes by. For example, in my early teens I was very much interested in the Royal Family of Great Britain - yes okay you can call me a freak lol, okay the major reason was I had a huge crush on Prince William, again you can laugh. Anyway has anyone noticed the latest edition of Vanity Fair magazine ? Guess who is on the cover? Yes Prince William - looking amazingly attractive! Anyway I was in the grocery store yesterday and had to get the magazine, yes I spent $4.50 just to see 2 really good pics of Prince William hehe. Theres a whole section in it on Royal Families in Europe so I'll read that when I feel in the mood. But the mere action of buying the mag sent me back about 6 years hehe. Also last night my mom and I watched Little Women, the 1994 version, which we have seen 100+ times and it just felt like old times to me and it was really fun. The kettle corn popcorn was really good too ;) For 12 carbs it had to be! Anyway just rambling, very lost without Pete around this weekend - hope he's having a good time ;)

Friday Five

1. When was the last time you laughed?

Hmmm really laughed a lot or just a little ? A little - probably today. A lot - yesterday on the phone with Pete when he did an impression of me ;)

2. Who was the last person you had an arguement with?

I guess my mom.

3. Who was the last person you emailed ?

My boss at my work study job at college but I guess I got his email address wrong bc it came back grrr

4. When was the last time you bathed ?

As in had an actually bath ? Or just cleaned/showered ? I had a shower this morning. The last time I had a bath was before I went to England I suppose I don't really remember.

5. What was the last thing you ate ?

Hmmmm think a celery stick with peanut butter on it.. yummy! Having popcorn soon with a movie ;)

Feeling better today

Feeling a lot better today, think its because I had protein for breakfast, well I had bacon so can't be too healthy but it was GOOD. I've been snacking a bit on swedish fish candy which isn't good but I just had a salad with low carb dressing mmmm. Ooo I got Pete a present today - it was something I saw at Clinton Cards in the UK for 15 GBP but I got it here in a drugstore for $10! Yay me. I might try to find a link to it...it has secret meaning to us which I guess you could figure out if you wanted to hehe let me try to find a link. Anyway I'm saying it on here has I know Pete won't be online til Monday and doesn't really read this anyway ;) ahhh too lazy to do the HTML and I forgot this is a Mac so it won't let me drag and drop it into blogger so if you wanna see go to http://www.incrediblegifts.com/anbebegahada.html :)

Argh

My stomach feels about to explode, I guess I blame the meatballs I ate earlier - I was starving and getting dizzy and avoided the temptation of a entamen's raspberry danish and instead had the only 'protein' product I could find in the freezer - the meatballs. Later I had an apple, which I am technically not allowed to have but I did anyway as I needed energy. I've had a fever pretty much all day and have been dizzy and tired, alright now as I took some cheapo wanna be advil. Atkins Diet sucks @$$ dunno if I am going to stop it or not. My mom told me to on the phone earlier but that was because she didn't want to stop and get my something to eat on the way home and I can't eat what we have here - all carbs! ARGH Why is it that it was her idea and a whole 4 days later she wants me to stop because she's sick of putting up with me ???? Tho it was suppose to be for me, 'I'm only thinking of you' she said etc etc. GRRRR Kill me now! To make matters worse I can't even complain to Pete this weekend as he is going away with his family for his Granddad's 70th Birthday! Happy Birthday Mick! (Even though he doesn't read this!) So I'm all on my lonesome internet wise and all my friends are preparing to go back to school. I have until Sept 3rd. Right now I just wanna relax, might watch a movie or read a book I got at the library on Monday or just go to bed early as I have NO ENERGY and no CAR even if I wanted to go anywhere or go get Food. Car is at my mom's friend's cause she asked if i would let her drive it home as soon as I woke up so I said ALRIGHT - stupid sleepy me. Anyway I'm off!

Ugh feel crappy

Yesterday I went with my mom and a friend of hers that often says at the motel to Orlando to look at furniture. We got lost a few times but we eventually got where we were going. I have to say I kinda cheated on my diet yesterday, around noon I'd been out with my mom for an hour or so and started feeling dizzy so my mom stopped by Wendy's and got me chili. The Wendy's website says there are 23 grams of carbs in a small chili but doesn't show the fiber so I might not have cheated that bad, though for lunch/dinner we stopped at a 50's style diner and I had a vanilla milkshake so I ended up cheating anyway! I dunno how much longer I'll stay on Atkins, as it takes me a long time to get up in the morning and I feel groggy for a few hours after that :( I dunno where or not I'm going to exercise today, I didn't have time to yesterday but I feel really crappy at the moment. May just lay down and see how I feel later.

Nothing much to report on lately - just my dieting (which you can see on my wellness journal)
*hint* hehe. Eating two celery sticks at the moment - as I'm not hungry enough for lunch as I ate breakfast late but feel like I need something. Did 3 miles on WATP for Abs, then showered and got dressed and here I am. Less than 2 weeks til I move back into my dorm (might be a few days earlier if my boss at my work study job at college needs me and gets me permission to move in earlier.) I think I have most of my stuff I need, have to find my stuff from last year - has to be somewhere around here maybe in the garage or my closet. Need to get my hair cut might make an appointment for that today. Might go to Walmart to look around and maybe get my parents CHICAGO on DVD - they wanted to see it in the theatre (the play) but the seats were all sold out :( So maybe I'll get them that and they can watch it tonight or something. Made Yorkshire Puddings again last night - they turned out a bit heavier/more eggy than last time - so I haven't totally perfected them but I'm sure I will do eventually. Just relaxing today as I worked all day yesterday in the blazing heat, at least I'm getting back my tan I lost in England hehe (actually I got sun burnt my last day there so I can't really say that!) Thats about it for now! Hope everyone had a good weekend and is having a good week so far!

I have started another blog to record my eating and such starting today (as I have started the Atkin's Diet) here it is if anyone cares to look: Jul's Wellness Journal

Everyone remembers the 'faked-orgasm-in-the-deli'
sequence from your kind of movie When Harry Met Sally.
It seems that you're falling for a buddy
or have already fallen for them.Uh-oh. You're
probably caught between the possibilty of
having a great relationship and wrecking the
one you have now. You know what they say, it's
better to regret something you did than
something you didn't do.

brought to you by Quizilla

Feeling alright today. Going to my sister's later to see the babies and have a little BBQ. Tomorrow I will *try* to start the Atkin's Diet - see how that goes!! Pete and I are alright now ;) Wow today its 2 weeks from the time I left England and it seems at least like 2 months! I really hate that. Some of my clothes still smell like his laudry detergent - I love that smell! Anyway best be off!

Ugh pissed off.

Pete was suppose to send me the shirt I bought for my friend Sara for her 20th Birthday, I left it there by accident when I was packing and he said he'd send it last weekend. He didn't get to the post office in time last Saturday so I was alright with that, he said he would send it this weekend. So I reminded him last night on the phone about it, did he send it this morning ? Of course not! Why ? He forgot !!! He said he woke up and his mum was talking to him about his grandparents' birthdays next weekend and he didn't remember about sending the shirt until after the post office was shut. Of course he then went to his friends and met me on there. He was being all lovey dovey - now I know why. He said he was sorry and made a little sad face but COME ON !!! You might think I'm over-reacting but he always seems to forget things or not have time to do things for me and it pisses me off. Anyway after he told me about that this morning I just said I had to go and I didn't want to fight about it so I would talk to him later online. I'll get over it but not right now. Men are stupid.
