Which flock do you follow?
this quiz was made by 3 for Thursday (#35):

1. What are 3 things unique about you?

I've been in an LDR for almost 5 years with Pete and we met on the internet. I don't drink, and ummm I have a weird looking tongue.

2. What are 3 funny/strange/wacky talents you have?

Hmmmm I need to think about this one!! ::thinking::

3. What are 3 of your best traits?

Hmmm I dunno if they mean physical traits or personality traits.
Physical: eyes, chest, hair.
Personality: sense of humor, sarcasm, understanding

BONUS: What is the most outlandish thing you’ve ever done?

Hmmmm not very outlandish but once at the Outback my friend Sara and I ate a whole thing of butter for the bread just plain...thats the only one I can think of at the moment! Sara and I also made up songs about our HS teachers and stories too (with Tiff and Becca hehe)

Yay my finals are done! I dunno how well I did - probably not great but at least its over! I'm still at school working on my paper - I think I'm pretty much done so I might go home soon. Plus its FREEZING here in the library! And I have a sweatshirt!! Ahhhh!! Hmph

I should be studying or working on my paper but alas I am not. Brrr I have been studying all day pretty much - well not so much studying as writing out info for my study guides to be able to study - I do a lot better if i right things out in order to remember them so thats what I do. Hmmmm seems as though Pete and I have been talking about the same song to each other without knowing it - its by Evanscence (sp?) - what a cool name for a band first of all! Anyway I've always heard of it as "Fallen" on the radio but thats the actual album name - the title of the song is something else hmmm anyway. Best be off here I guess hehe.

Morning. Hmmmmm a good 12 hours of sleep under my belt hehe. I went to bed really early about 9am because I was so tired (mentally exhausted I think - also it probably has something to do with my eyes grrr) Anyway this is my last Weds off woohooo so I'm spending it in proper study fashion - of course because I have too finals tomorrow and a paper due now on friday. I'm getting really excited about going to England and seeing Pete again :) I actually am going to get my mom to call the airline and confirm the flight as I'm all paranoid because I have an eticket (Ugh I hate those things!) Call me oldfashioned but I like getting a proper ticket. That reminds me I found this site a few weeks ago on google or something...its www.greatboyfriends.com. Go to it its a hoot! You actually recommend boyfriends through this questionairre its so weird! I know I met Pete online and stuff but that was like a chance meeting thing I didn't go to greatboyfriends.com searching for one! I think thats the funniest thing about being in a internet based relationship for as long as we have - in the beginning it was almost unmentionable that we met on the internet, now everyone does it. Which is good because I don't get crazy looks as much as I used to - well until I tell them how old I was (14) and how old he was (20) hehe. Anyway I'm off to shower and do some studying ! Ta-ta for now!

Good news!

Oooo my American Lit professor has extended our papers to be due on Friday yay!! Of course she couldn't have done so last week and not make us STRESS OUT over doing EVERYTHING in a matter of days, but her husband is letting his class have until Friday she it was fair that she let us...grrr duh. Well I'm happy about that. But it means I'll have to go to school on Friday to drop off the paper, but I would have had to go there anyway to sell back my American Lit books ugh oh well its ALMOST OVER!

Tuesday This or That

1. Newspapers or magazines?
Hmmmm magazines, although now that I am almost done with my Mass Comm class I realized most of the magazines are advertisements and very little interesting information but oh well

2. Books-on-tape or regular books?

Regular books - I need to be able to re-read certain parts if I don't understand them

3. Paperback or hardcover?

Paperback are cheaper but hardcover is easier to read without having to hold it open ;)

4. Fiction or non-fiction?

I like fiction but I am also currently into travel writers such as Bill Bryson.

5. Sci-Fi/Fantasy or romance novels?

I hate Sci-Fi/Fantasy so I'd rather have a good romance novel if I had to choose!

6. Borrow from library or buy books (either new or used)?

Ummm library is more affordable especially if you end up hating the book, but I LOVE to buy books! I have so many that I still haven't read!

7. Subscribe to magazines or buy on newsstand?

Newsstand usually, its cheaper as you aren't committed to buying one very month

8. Current best-sellers or classic literature?

Either one depending on my mood

9. Read books once, or re-read favorites every so often?

Ummm I like to re-read books but I don't really get the time to....so I only end up reading them once most of the time

10. Here in the U.S., we have two hot best-sellers...former First Lady Hillary Clinton's memoirs, and the new Harry Potter book (coming out June 21). If you had to read one, which one...Hillary or Harry? Why?

I would go with Harry Potter, I only read the first one, and my friends are total Harry Potter freaks so they would make me if I had that choice hehe. Plus I don't care what Hilary Clinton has to say!

Morning. I feel relieved. My brother got into a car accident last night - he's okay though. My uncle called at about 11pm last night and told my mom, she then went to the hospital as that was where he was. I'm not really sure what happened but my mom said a crazy lady hit him and he ended up swerving into a pole or something...thankfully he was wearing his seatbelt so he wasn't hurt but I suspect the car is totalled as it was only a little 2 seat Geo convertable. Anyway so I'm glad he's okay, he's been a jerk lately but he's a 17 year old guy so I guess it comes with the territory. I feel bad for him as he has only had his license since December and has been in 3 accidents, this was the only serious one and only 2 of which were his fault. Anyway gotta head to class!

Heeeelllllloooooooo.... How are you ????!!!!!

I'm hot and busy. Hot because our AC is messed up again soo my mom decided to turn it off for awhile. Hmmm ugh! I just got home a little while ago, I stayed at school for a few hours to work on my final paper for my American Lit class which is due on Thurs ugh! So much to do....well I'm going to go and try to cool off and do some more work Grrr I can't wait until Thurs afternoon!!!! And then next Friday and Saturday!!!

Evening. Have a good weekend ? Mine has been alright. Today we all went to my sister's house for a BBQ, but before that I went to the motel and cleaned some motel rooms obviously hehe it was work what can I say. The BBQ was good :) We were suppose to go on the boat at some point but we didn't - which was okay by me as I'm still achy from Weds walking that the tubing off the boat would make me 10 time more achy tomorrow. I still have TONS to do - I was going to do my collage project for my Mass Communications class due on Monday but I don't have any spray glue soooo that'll have to wait until tomorrow, I read some of our assigned reading in "Moby-Dick" but I still need to read more. Lately my eyes/head have been bothering me after I read or am online for awhile, about an hour...I start to get pain in my eyes and different areas of my head :( I guess I need to go the eye Dr when I get back from England - I would go before then but my insurance is all messed up so I can't grrr. Well tomorrow will be much the same as today, only with less time to do everything in! I can't wait until Thurs afternoon when EVERYTHING for school will be done!!! Roll on THURS AFTERNOON Wooo Hooo only about 13 days til I'm in England! Can't wait!

See what Care Bear you are.

Friday Five - for Friday the 13th dun dun dun!! ::scary music::


1. What's one thing you've always wanted to do, but never have?

I really wanna go to Ireland, I guess thats one thing that I haven't done that I really wanna do. Other than that I dunno, I've been thinking about getting a tatoo for awhile and Pete has too but I dunno if we'll ever get them - we're worried about them getting all dodgy looking when we get old and wrinkley hehe.

2. When someone asks your opinion about a new haircut/outfit/etc, are you always honest?

Depends on the person - if my mom asks me I'll usually be pretty honest, if its my roommate (when I had roommates) it would depend - my one roommate used to ask me like everyday because she was totally self-conscious and sometimes I would be totally honest and other time I wouldn't, if my sister asks me I'll usually say she looks good because I know thats what she wants to hear lol. My friends really don't ask me how they look probably because they know I'll tell them the truth ;)

3. Have you ever found out something about a friend and then wished you hadn't? What happened?

Ummm yeah that has happened a few times, once with Pete and a few times with a few of my friends...every situation was different. With the situation with Pete it was told to me by someone I don't talk to anymore and it was this whole big thing like right before we met in person...but its totally over now as it was so long ago and really stupid looking back on it actually...things were rocky for a few days but got back on track :)

4. If you could live in any fictional world (from a book/movie/game/etc.) which would it be and why?

Ummmm the first two that come to mind are the candy land area of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory or the Wonderland of EA Game's ALICE hehe. The chocolate factory candy land for obvious reasons, and Wonderland because it would be cool chopping off cardguards heads like in the computer game hehe.

5. What's one talent/skill you don't have but always wanted?

Horse back riding and playing the flute...not really sure why just wanted to be able to do both and I never have :( Oh well maybe someday I'm only 19! lol.

Oooo happy Friday the 13th!!!! I'm not going to say TFIF today because well I have tons to do so I'm not really too happy its Friday. I'm still at school waiting for Student Services to open back up again at 1:15pm so I can get my new Student ID and then I'll head home. Here is an easier link to my dad's father's day present (its the first one in the second row) since my mom's comp is a Mac I can't link to anything without doing the actuall html but I'm too lazy to do that all the time. In other news I got the wine glass charms I ordered for Pete's mum yesterday - they're cute :) I feel a bit better today but not 100% think its just stress though ugh. Well I might be back on later if not over the weekend! Ta-ta for now!

As my Imood says I feel achy - why ? Because I did my 3 mile walk away the pounds for ads dvd last night and as Jennie once said - the thing is evil! My whole body aches from not doing it for so long! At the moment its especially my back :( I've been feeling headachy/nausous/dizzy/achy today. I even laid down for an hour and felt a bit better but now I'm up again - I need to do tons of reading so I should be off here soon. I got my dad a birthday present, an Irish cap from the Irish store in St. Augustine, the story behind that is that my mom got one when she went to Ireland in like 1980 or something (before she met my dad) and then when she and my dad were together she gave it to him and he LOVED it, I dunno what happened to it but anyway I got him a new one! It wasn't cheap either as it was Imported from Ireland, so it was like $50, but he's worth it. If your close to my consider yourself lucky because I give GREAT GIFTS hehe. If you go to http://www.hannahats.com/products/caps.html the hat I got my dad is similar to the first one in the second row :) I'm going to actually go do the conversion and see how much it would have been online hehe. Anyway by for now. This time in two weeks I'll be almost ready to leave for England!!! yay And this time next week I'll be done with school!!! YES!!!! Only a few more days!

My day off was nice - really didn't get too much school work done but oh well! I ended up going to my sister's this morning and babysitting while she went into her walk to talk to her boss about starting back part-time instead of full time...which they agreed to yay! So I got to her house at 9am. She was gone a few hours, when she got back we fed the babies and then we went to Quizno's (a sub place) for lunch it was good :) She even gave me $40 for babysitting today and the other times I have in the past - which was really nice of her and will come in handy when I go to England. But it was a fun day. If your a member of my msn community go and look at the most recent pics of the babies taken today (in Babies Album - end of page 4 beginning of page 5) hehe. Wow 17 days til I'm in England and only 16 til I leave (2 weeks from FRIDAY AHHH) I really shouldn't be on here as I have TONS of reading to do and a project due on Monday and my 6-10 page final paper due on next Thurs and have two finals on that same day but I'm on here UGH Best be off as I'm stressed out just thinking about it ! Ta ta for now lovely blog world!

Tuesday This Or That (from last week as I didn't really wanna do this weeks)

1. Cats or dogs ? Dogs!!! Although I am warming up a bit to cats, they're too independent though!

2. Butterflies or Birds? Ummm birds I guess - I like the really little ones that hop around

3. Horses or cows ? Hmmmm toughy! In the summer of 2000 when my mom and I went to England for the first time and met Pete's family we all went to Dorset and took tons of pics of horses and cows! Mostly horses though as they were just out in the fields with no barriers it was so cool to see them 'in the wild.' So both I guess

4. Turtles or snakes ? Turtles! they're cute!

5. Frog or grasshoppers ? Frogs are cute especially little toads hehe.

6. Lions or Tigers ? I really like the while tigers :)

7. Elephants or mice ? Elephants - mice creep me out

8. Porcupines or aardvarks ? Ummmm porcupines I guess (dunno what an aardvark is really lol)

9. Unicorns or Dragons ? Hmmmmm Unicorns I guess hehe

10. Thought provoking question: (Simplified) Would you give away your pet or stay put in a dumpy apartment ? If it was a dog I would stay put, if it was another smaller animal which didn't really know that I was it's owner like a turtle I could give it away.

Hi hi. I'm feeling a bit better, I was just really sick of computers while I posted last night hehe. I turned in both of my papers, and really I don't care how I did on them - because I just have to start on another paper and project anyway so I can't stress over anything for too long, on top of that I have to read sooo much in American Lit that I have no time to stress really, but as usual I get online to chat with Pete everyday...I feel that its important to destress me and important for us as a couple to chat everyday even if it is only online. But in 19 days I'll be there! 18 days til I leave! Wow!

I read Jennie's blog and she had a really weird dream last night! Actually I remember my dream from last night it was a good one though - in the dream Pete and I got engaged Ooooo you know whats in my subconscious for this trip hehe (although I can't get too excited as I'm not certain) but anyway it was a nice dream :) Anyway only have about 15 mins more to chat with Pete so best be off here!

Musical Computer Chairs ?

I'm sick of typing papers, I spent all day yesterday doing my American Lit paper due tomorrow, and a few hours today finishing it. Then I started on my Mass Communications 2 page write up - then I took a break and moved to the other computer (the only one hooked up to the internet) to come on here...whats wrong with me ???!!! I need to stop coming on this thing so much but its soo addicting. I can't wait until I go to England just so that I won't have to turn on the stupid thing everyday unless I really want to, not saying I don't want to talk to Pete everyday but UGH I just want a normal existance!!! I'm getting off here before I die of mental exhaustion!

Florida Summer

Well its an ordinary Florida summer day, the real kind, the kind they don't tell you about in the commercials for Disney....hot and sunny until about 3pm when the heavens open and it RAINS - today its going on longer than usual, about 2 hours, but I find it relaxing I guess - but then again I'm not in it. I feel bad for my mom - she has been cleaning for days and got the back porch all clean and nice and then it rained and flooded and now she's trying to clean that up that :( And yes I am helping in between working on my paper ugh. This time in 3 weeks I'll be in England with Pete yay!!! Can't wait!!

Other plans for the day include: Watching Trading Spaces at 8pm - the crew is going to London to work on two flats and all you BBC America/Changing Rooms fans will be delighted to know that the adorable Handy Andy will be there!!! hehehe. I'm getting BBC America back soon!!! Yay! I'm like addicted to it sorry! Ooo then at 10pm on TLC they have a new episode of "For Better or for Worse" I love that show - love when the couple doesn't like aspect of their wedding! Ok TTFN !

Friday Five - all about Love Oooo la la ;)

1. How many times have you truly been in love?

Only once, hehe happened about 4 and a half years ago and have been every since ;) By the way I'm talking about Pete, obviously hehe.

2. What was/is so great about the person you love(d) the most?

He's funny, cute, honesty, has the same sense of humor as me, I can tell him anything, he's my best friend, he never judges me when I'm wrong, he's always sweet and caring and nice...and a lot more things I can't say on here hehe. :-p

3. What qualities should a significant other have?

Ummmm see above I guess ;)

4. Have you ever broken someone's heart?

Hehe nope! Pete was/is my first boyfriend/love/lover so I didn't have a chance to harm someone elses heart hehe.

5. If there was one thing you could teach people about love, what would it be?

That it doesn't always come at the perfect time, or in the perfect place. And that there will always be issues you have to overcome and not to get discouraged by them.

Ooo I found a site with a 'beach' set of wine charms that has a flipflop! I have to show it to Pete when I talk to him, I looked a bit today in St.Augustine but I didn't find any with the stupid flipflop hehe. I should really start charging committion! hehe.

Quest for Wine Glass Charms

For last Christmas I got Pete's parents a set of 'beach' wine glass charms - which are little ring things you put around each wine glass to decorate/tell them apart. Pete's mum really like them, which I knew she would. So all was well. Then today Pete says his mum needs a favour so I'm like "okay..." Looks like she wants me to get her the same set of wine glass charms for her friends birthday, mostly because her friend loves flipflops and the 'beach' set had a flipflop charm. So now what do I have to do ??? Search for the same or a similar set. Thing is they were probably a special Xmas item in the store, as they were in the middle of the aisles. So I dunno if I'll be able to find them or not, I looked online and found a few that I might tell her about incase I don't find them. I told Pete that I couldn't promise anything. Still this isn't what I need grrrr I always have to make everyone happy! Driving me nuts!

Hello. As my Imood says I was feeling crampy yesterday :( I didn't actually end up doing anything but cleaning up the house (mostly my room), which is still a mess as I have SO MUCH CRAP! The week before I got to England I'm cleaning out my closet and drawers and getting rid of a lot of stuff!! By the way I am leaving for England 3 weeks from tomorrow!!!!!!!!! Where has the time gone ?! But I can't get too excited because I have two more weeks of school, 2 papers due on Monday, a project due next Friday, another due the following monday, then a 6 -10 page paper due with my final exam on the last week of school. Wow lots to do in no time!!!! I can't freak out though! Just gotta do one thing at a time! UGH ! Anyway I'm excited about England :) I am a bit nervous about the connecting flight as I've never been on a connecting flight alone but I'll be fine! I get to go to St.Louis wooohooo thats as far out West as I've ever been hehe Sorry all you more western ppl, I'm a total East coast girl ;) Well off to waste time that I could be using to do the LOAD OF WORK I HAVE TO DO IN 2 WEEKS! hehe.
