okie dokie, check this out!

The University of North Texas will be closing today at 1:00pm, December 7

Additional information will be posted on this site as available.

Isn't that just a lovely thing to see? Well, not really lovely but all the same that means my last class for this day has been cancelled sorta speak.  Of course, that's not necessarily a GOOD thing since that class I think was going to be a review session for the final next week. So...I guess I may just have to e-mail my professor about that.  Also, it inclines me to believe that my interview which was meant to happen today isn't going to happen at all...which also means I need to get started on a research paper that is now due on Friday.  This research paper needs to be 15 pages long and contain 2 pages worth of sources, sounds like fun doesn't it? I hate research papers, I really do.  Especially really LONG ones. Humbug, it takes me two days to write a decent research paper, and that's assuming I have all of each day to do them. As it stands I have the rest of today, about 5 hours tomorrow and about 5 hours on friday to complete a research paper I never once had the intention of doing in the first place! *sigh* This revelation is upsetting to say the least.  However, atleast I didn't go to my class (which this research paper is due in) today at 2 and realize it had been cancelled and then WAIT for my interviewee to call me up and explain to me how I wouldn't be able to interview her.  She still might call tomorrow in which case that would be perfectly alright, however I'm not going to leave that to chance.  If I have to do a lot of research today and then end up not writing the research paper I will be no worse for wear, but as it stands right now if I have no paper and no interview I'm royally fucked.  So, here's to do ing research that can kiss my ass! Cheers!

Okay okay...So...I haven't updated it a little over two weeks, right? Right. So...what's been up in my word? Well not a whole hell of a lot actually, but let's get the obvious out of the way.

Thanksgiving was a blast and a half, it was 4 days of food and drink (though I did less drink and more food it was still fun). I spent the whole break with my family and we all had a blast! Danelle came into town and gave me a suprise visit...she said she was in Waco or some crap like that, LIAR! Um yeah...We had a whole lot of fun and ate a whole lot of food...I wanted to get drunk but too many people told me I'm a bad drinker...you people suck by the way.

Danelle's birthday was a while back as well, I got her some stuff...half of which she ordered me to take back to the store. But we had a lot of fun, I got really drunk and passed out at about 2-3 in the morning, which for me is VERY LATE, so all you nay sayers who sleep all day and stay up during the night hours can blow me. *cough*

What else? OH YEAH. It wouldn't be a captain_cliche xanga post with a rant about something stupid that I got to experience. So here we go! Today I was walking to class and I hear this dude singing behind me. Now, I'm all for humming a tune to yourself or whistling a little diddy, even if you feel like singing, sing a little song.  But for the love of all that is holy, if you suck at singing DON'T DO IT IN PUBLIC! Privacy of your own home? Great, enjoy. Shower? Have fun hearing yourself. But damnit people, if you can't sing just don't. This dudes voice was cracking left and right, his tone was flying everywhere and he just...couldn't get his voice to do anything that sounded like singing.  I never bothered looking really hard (since staring at people is rude) but I'd put 10 to 1 odds that he was wearing headphones or earphones and couldn't hear himself worth a damn...probably even thought he was sounding pretty good.  I'm not here to hate on people who sing, not by any means, I hum to myself all the damn time and several of my co-workers sing while they work (none of them are dwarves either) and they all sound fine.  Lesson here, I shoulda told the dude that he sounded fucking terrible, but I didn't cause I had better things to do than sit there and yell at some guy I don't even know about how crappity he sounds. Peace.

I...um...don't really have anything to say right now...lemme think for a second, maybe free writing will help pull some crap outta my ass...

Wow, that sounded kinda gross but it's not to be taken literally, ya know? Kinda like monkey's flying out of my butt or something...Anyway, free writing isn't really helping a whole lot so what am I going to do? Keep trying!

Ummm, I got paid today. That's good right? OH! My mother, being the awesome person that she is, came up to Denton recently and had dinner with me...I think it was...Saturday? Yeah, Saturday. So we had dinner at Olive Garden. Now, eating out at an actually restaurant put things in perspective for me.  While stuff on the menu look appetizing, what looked the most appetizing was the salad, isn't that sad? I mean, I wasn't horribly hungry to begin with, having just eaten at work (I had a ham and cheese omellete, a bowl of cereal, three drinks and a salad, yum) about an hour and a half prior to going out to eat. So I didn't want to order a big entree. Having been to Olive Garden enough times to know that you don't order an entree unless you haven't eaten since breakfast because the salad and bread sticks alone will fill you up.  But still, my appetite has changed since I started working at Kerr Cafeteria. I still eat meat, don't get me wrong here. I looooove hamburger helper and beef and potatoe stew and the meat pizza...mmmm, pizza......*droool*

Woah, sorry there folks, seems I'm a tad hungry at the moment and talking about food is making me drool a bit.  Anyway, so yeah, I don't think I can eat cafeteria food much more, atleast the grilled stuff. I eat sandwiches, salads, panini's (God's gift to college students in my opinion) and the like, but less and less grilled food like burgers and the such. I'll still have the occasional chili dog, cause...I love chili dogs. So, I'm not becoming a vegetarian, but there's just something about the food that makes me kinda sick to my stomach a little. Nothing horrible, just kinda queesy.

Okay, um...what else? I wrote this paper for my philosophy class last night. This was one of the harder papers I've had to write in a while. Why you ask? Because I had to read the same 6 pages over and over again about 5-6 times just so I could understand just what the HELL the dude who wrote was talking about. The damn thing was crazy complicated, I even had to look a few words up just to make sure I was understanding him correctly. Crazy, huh? But the assignment was to write a 700+ word persuasive essay about what this dude said. I wrote something like 850+ words on the matter, gave my opinion in the closing paragraph basically saying that I agreed with the guy.  The basis of it all? Religions world wide screwed up somewhere along the way pretty much.  The Bible has been misconstrued so many different ways and for so long that the basic message of what the Bible has to say has been lost. What's the message? Be just and kind.  How simple is that!? "Be excellent to each other!" I mean, christ! People have fought and DIED for this stuff; Catholics (yes I'm going to single out a group of religious people) constantly criticize others when all the bible is trying to say is to be a good person?  Congratu-freakin-lations people, we fucked up somewhere...and in a big way too.  Be just and kind, wow...and to believe the guy who wrote this book published it in a different country, under an anonymous name because he was afraid that people would kill him for saying this.  Incredible isn't it?

What else...I think that's pretty much it. I'm outta here.

okay so I haven't updated in a while I do believe...Nothing especially fantastic has happened I suppose UNTIL TODAY! *dramatic music*

Okay, so I got to check my mailbox today and I find my apartment's newsletter chillin in there. So I figure, "Cool, I'll read it on the way to school." So I read it and I see, "The first two residents to come by and sing 'I'm a little tea pot" win a prize!" I toy with the idea while I'm taking my marketing test, which I totally forgot I had today, and decide why the hell not!? So I beat feet back to the apartment complex and go into the main building to inquire about said singing. I was the first!

So...they're all like "You have to do the dance too!" No biggy...I've known that song and dance since what? pre-school? since I was like 4!? Then they pull out a digital camera! Oh noez! Okay, it wasn't that bad, but they did say they had to get a picture of me doing it. So I do my little song and dance, they take a picture of me as I'm tipping myself over to pour myself out and I don't know what the hell stopped me from just busting out laughing...

Anyway, what was the prize you ask? I got a lot of coupon thingies for free food! Yay for free food!! It's no Ipod or anything but hey, food I don't have to pay for is good in my book. So yeah, there's a little something to make you all laugh at me...

Halloween in Denton has been called off due to RAIN!! It's a sign...

So check it, this morning I head to class, there is a cloudy overcast, that's nothing special to me, it had been getting kinda grey outside over the past few days anyway. So, I'm going to class, not a single thungerous noise or a drop of rain, nothing, it's just a fairly pleasant day. Get through class with the usual cherry and giggles. and I'm walking out of my class and I see a kid pass me with very damp hair and clothing and I instantly say "Oh shit..." And yeap, it's raining hardcore style outside. So, I run to the student Union to see if I can purchase an umbrella and I remember I left my wallet in my apartment. No biggy...I'll just get some food then...wait I don't have my wallet.  Okay...I'll go to the music building and use the computer lab there for a few hours before my next class. Oh WAIT! My ID is in my wallet...which is at my apartment! I had to remind myself that my wallet was at my apartment about 5 times this morning. *sigh* So, ultimately I ended up head back to my apartment, in the pouring rain. I get to my apartment and just start tearing my clothes off since it felt like I was about 30 pounds heavier. So, here I am, still wet, in my bare skivvies contemplating how today could've started off just a bit better. >.>

I'm actually contemplating not going to my 2 o clock class, just because I don't want to walk through the rain again. Don't get my wrong, I love rain, love stormy weather...I find it arousing (and that's totally information you all needed to know too!). However, what I don't like is being caught with my pants around my ankles. I would've liked to have atleast had an inkling of a clue before I left my apartment this morning. Okay...I think I've talked enough about how I'm naked and aroused...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
