I now have two jobs.
16 credit hours.
A house with a husband and six dogs.
No car.
And a show I'm stage managing whose cast invites me out to parties after the shows, which I decline in order to come home to my husband, so he can invite over mutual friends and proceed to ignore all of us in favor of playing video games for three hours.

I'm a little annoyed about that.

But, he gives excellent foot rubs.

We have twelve puppies.

That's a dozen.

We have a baker's dozen worth of dogs.

Anybody want one? They're cute as fuck. They range from black to light brown, and their eyes should be open soon.

In other news, I think I have a job.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Seriously, though, take my puppies.

I's graduated.

The robes weren't banana colored this year. Très excitée.

It rained a bunch this morning.

We're still poor and homeless.

Sadie's pregnant. Fan-fucking-tastic, I say. Way to get knocked up, slut puppy.
She's cute, though. She looks like a cow.

That's about it. Starting school in July, full time in August. Miguel and I can't get married until I graduate or transfer, because I'll lose my half price tuition if I'm not a dependent of my madre.

Right now my brother and sister-in-law are watching some quality family programming with their new baby. It's entitled "I was only 13, but I know you're my baby's daddy."

So much disappointment in humanity.

Ah, yes, now I remember why I haven't been on here in over a month.

'Cause this shit's all fucked up.

Why? Why must everything good be destroyed?
Xanga, I will remember you fondly as you once were, in your innocent, youthful, individualistic days, ere you succumbed to this horrific fad of home pages filled with menus and painfully graphic icons, where weblog content is pushed aside in favor of flashy visuals which provide instant gratification. Such is the trend in the American media.

Alas.

In other news, Zach, Miguel and I have been forced to find a new residence, so if anyone knows of a) somewhere we can live (near Washburn, preferably) where we can keep a dog over 35 pounds, or b) somewhere Sadie can go until we get the housing matter settled, that would be fantastic.

Also, I am in the market for a really, really cheap car. Seriously, my criteria are as follows: under a grand, and functional. Not even, like, AC and heating functional; I'm talking simply engine starting, wheels turning, gears shifting. My standards are not high.

That's all. I have to go feed my werewolf now.

What the fuck?

I have no idea what Xanga is doing. But it's weird.
Are they trying to be Facebook or MySpace or something? Maybe the people who use Xanga do so because they find it preferable to those other sites. And now what? Goodbye, blogocentric webpages. Goodbye, custom color themes. Goodbye, individuality of design.

Whatever. Good thing it doesn't matter, like, at all.

Had a good St. Patrick's Day yesterday. We went out to the Blind Tiger to hear Jesse's parents' band play, and they were wonderful. Afterwards we had about a half-dozen people over to the house to drink Irish car bombs, which are both chemically intriguing and effectively mind-altering. And this morning, my boss called and said I didn't have to work. So I slept until noon. It rocked.

Joseph Charles Dixwell Wheeler III called me last night, as well. He is still serving in Afghanistan, so there was a huge lag on the line. But he says he's doing well, and by a strange coincidence of social circumstance, knows Miguel. So that was a "small world" moment.
I was very pleased to hear from him. He says "hi" to everyone here that he knows. You know who you are.

What the hell is going on in Maldives?

Well, it's been about a month. Not much to report here.

My birthday is in two days, so that's fun and exciting.

I've been sucked into an MMORPG that Miguel plays. I am now truly a nerd. And a werewolf.

My AP classes are interesting, and the classes I'm supposed to be taking for "fun" are just kind of pains in the ass. Choir and theatre are no longer particularly welcoming for me, and I think it's just because of the environment/ instructors. As with all things, I'm ready for a change.

And it shall come.
But not quickly enough.

The only thing I'm satisfied with in my life at the moment is my relationship, which is by far the best thing that's happened to me in a long time. Random arguments and all.

...Birthday!

-me

This is the sweetest thing...

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 02:04:41 GMT

Awwwwwwwwwww...

Oh, come on. How fucking sweet is that?
I love dogs.

In other news, I'm sick. It's crappy. Humidifiers and non-drowsy gelcaps can only mask the illness for so long before I remember how miserable I am. Plus, I keep freaking myself out, because I hear a high-pitched whistling noise, and it takes a second for me to realize that it's me breathing.

This song is very addictive. I recommend it, but only if you 1) have a portable music device or 2) don't have anywhere to be for a few hours.

Kansas is caucusing this year. I think me and my mama are going to go. February 5. Be there. Elections are the closest we'll ever get to having a say in this country's government.

A Few Good Men is swiftly becoming a headache. I have never wanted a show to be over so badly before, and I know for a fact I'm not alone in that. Our director's irresponsibility has never been so evident, and she's just recently decided to start actually taking an active part in the production. So now instead of being absent or negligent, she's just bitchy or demanding. I honestly don't know which I prefer.

Which would you prefer?

Haha, it's been 1337 days since I joined xanga.

I heard this song on the radio, and it got stuck in my head. So I have to play it out now, or it'll never go away.

Thespian Conference was pretty lame. I didn't actually go to any of the workshops, because I had to set up, perform, and tear down my one-act, and then set up, perform, and tear down my technical portfolio interview. The one session I did have free, I decided to spend in a cafe with Kenyon. The portfolio interviews paid off, though; I was awarded one of two statewide $1000 scholarships for Technical Theatre.

I can attend Washburn University for a profit. It's very, very tempting, especially since I have no money.

It's also very, very repulsive, because it's Washburn University.

*sigh*
*crawls into hole and naps in the fetal position for about a year*

Miguel and I went to Gage Bowl and played a few hours of pool yesterday. I'm actually beginning to not suck quite so terribly.

Jeff Kaufman (theatre teacher) has decided he doesn't like me anymore. He's fired me from being his dramaturge for Romeo and Juliet, and basically told me off for thinking of myself as anything resembling an adult. I think this all stems back to the incident we had a few months ago where I dared to make a photocopy of my script during school hours and Pam McComas (speech teacher with a vendetta against me ever since I quit her forensics team) wrote me a DR for open defiance. See, I was using Jeff's keys at the time, and he was reprimanded for having given them to me in the first place. So, basically, he got mad at me for getting him in trouble. Then, in a show of impressive maturity, he yelled at me about how tremendously stupid I am, in front of Kathryn's entire 7th hour junior english class.
We haven't really been okay since then.

I don't know where that all came from, but apparently I needed to get it off my chest.

Time for scholarship applications. Whee.
The Last Mimzy is a good movie, despite what you may be inclined to believe at first glance.
Take care, kids.

My xanga looks like a Rainbow Lory. All is right with the world.

Except that I hate my essay for the Common Application. And I got rejected by the University of Chicago. And I missed the deadline for USC because I didn't care enough to meet it. And Miguel just got fired, so we're more broke than usual. And he's sick. And my mother is freaked out because she thinks we're going to elope. And I didn't get the dog spayed.

But otherwise...

Happy New Year.
