Sometimes Dreams Do Come True

So I have had the opportunely to see many great performances and artist in my time. Ranging from The Royal Theater in London to Def Leppard. Well on April 26, 2008 I am going to see..........

BARRY MANILOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not know if I can handle this, after all he is the man that writes the songs that make the whole world sing. I can now die happy, or at least on April 27, 2008.

Admit it you are so envious.

Ok so I am lame and can not work xanga correctly.

Eight things about me.

1. I am really good with money. I love to learn about investing, bonds, stock market. One of my biggest pet peeves is wasting money. I cannot stand it. So do not go shopping with me. I am a terror.

2. I do not believe in the whole "love of your life" theory. I think you are capable of loving lots of people. I think it is silly to think there is one person that you are destined to spend your life with. Too much can happen. It does make for some great chick flicks though.

3. My family lives by two mottos

a. Just to say I did it

b. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

As a result we are completely unable live normal lives because we end up in random situations and always have a crazy stories to tell. We have so much fun.

4. As a history  major you do not want to watch historical movies with me. I am like Dwight from the Office.

5. I refuse to EVER wear a denim jumper. Well maybe if I am expecting and I better be on pain killers.

6. In high school a local band named their MP after me. It was "Merideth Rice did not stand you up this time" I was honored

7. I am a member of the "Committee of Public Safety" according to my Monster resume. Long live the Republic!

8. I am a total "Fanalow" and have no shame.

Novemeber 2007

Can I please tell you why this month has been super lame?

It all started on halloween when my best friend of twenty years and roommate of four Ashley accidently knocked out my front tooth with a skull. Don't ask. I had to have two rootcanals and the process will not be over until January. Things like this just happen to me. The most random injures always happen to me.

Next, why am I a history major? All we ever do is read and write papers, that was not in the orientation program. Next time I am going to be a gardening major and roll around in dirt.

Then I have only recently admitted to myself that I love the band Boston and decided it was my mission to see them live in concert. I called my oldest sister to reveal this revelation I had and was informed that the lead singer committed suicide a year ago. So now my dream of two weeks will never be fulfilled. Even worse seven  years ago I won Boston tickets off the radio and gave them away to my friend Caleb. Lame!

Ok last and most likely the most heartbreaking. KU LOST TO LAME MU!. I can not even deal. LSU lost on Friday and I  knew it was our year and we lost. Oh the humanity. No one even really likes MU. I know I don't.

Ok so there was one good thing that happened this month. The twins and I were introduced to the wonder that is Garth Brooks. We have never really been fans, when we were kids we heard Peter, Paul and Mary instead of the Big G. So we went and were amazed. We were surrounded by super fans and by the end we had joined the ranks. Garth you were a bright spot in this horrible month. It would have been awesome had I waited to get my tooth fixed until after the show. I would had fit in better with the crowd.

"Where have you gone Joe De Maggio our nation turns its lonely eyes to you"

The twins and I are going to Garth Brooks. That's pretty funny.

Maggie is going to see David Allen Coe.

I don't know who beat who here.
