sly.

yay for listening to lots of fun musica en espanol!
so i put my blog's template back to the way it was bc it just ought to be like that. i sorta liked the other one, so i used it...then i hated it. i tried to get used to it, but i didn't. so, here's the good ol' pink back for your viewing pleasure.
eric and i spent last evening eating hamburgers, watching movies, and getting slightly intoxicated on lots of white wine. it was fun!
i'm kind of bored now; sitting around the house all alone isn't too very thrilling. i made eric some french toast for breakfast this morning, but then he had to leave me and go off to work for a bit.
i cleaned the pool today. it's being bad and not wanting to get clean--i had to shock it again (i just did that yesterday!). i also got to use the clarifier stuff; it's fun to squirt it in.
i think i'll take a shower soon. and maybe i'll watch that movie from last night that we didn't really watch. "trauma"...anybody ever seen it? it's british!!!=)
snaps for me having the best boyfriend ever!!!!!!!! i <3 him.
i'm hungry.
hey, today is the last day of july. that's sad; july is my favourite month. i like december a lot too.
i wish i had a class or two to attend. i only want english classes--british lit classes! hmm, i REALLY need to schedule for bethany.lol i also need to totally finish withdrawing from wvu.
this morning, i took a quiz that told me i was agnostic. hmm.
the evil cat is desperate for attention. i refuse to pet her, and she's getting angry. in theory, i'm giving her attention by writing this about her, but she doesn't care. oh well. the fuzz is better. and fuzzier.
i have a "moose x-ing" sign. eric gave it to me a long, long time ago. oh, we're not going to canada for various reasons now. i'm sad about it.
look, i got a cool clock for my blog!!!! ------------------------->
pffffffffft.

kiosk.

tgif.
mi familia is leaving tomorrow. i'll be lonely; ya'll better come and visit! (i'll feed you and let you swim!!!)
i had all sorts of interesting bits and pieces to blog about earlier, but i forget them now. *sadness!*
oh, i got my 2 rolls of beach pictures developed last night. hooray!!!!
those darling brothers of mine are returning from nc today. but, they're leaving with the parentals tomorrow morning for lake erie. i bet they'll be crabby tonight.
i must get to cleaning the house! last year, i cleaned the whole house right after they left for vacation, and it stayed clean all week long--until about 3 minutes after they returned.
i have a big secret scheme plotted out in my head. be excited for it.

length.

i worked from 9:00 am until 10:00 pm today. it was a long time--not a particularly bad long time, just a very long time. oh well.

duration.

i changed the url on my wonderful blog for a few reasons. if you're reading this, apparently, you've asked me for the new address (and i've complied!). i wanted to change it, and was quite annoyed bc i thought that i'd have to start a whole new one (and, i've put a lot into this one; see my archive list?!), so i was very happy to find that i can change the url for this existing one.
hey, guess what?! eric and i have been dating for 16 months today!!!!!!!!!!! aww. be happy for us; that's a long time, and it's been an absolutely awesome long time! today also marks one month before he departs for spain. that's sad--but it's exciting too!
i'm turning allergic to my deodorant. ugh. but, this is the longest that i've gone without having to switch to some new brand for quite some time (approx. every month for like 3+ years?!), so i suppose i ought to be glad about that.
daycamp was a gas today. we had an all day swim. again. t'was hot, but the pool was nice and frosty. oh, the power went out for a bit during the early afternoon, but it was back on by the time i had lobby duty at 1:15 (yay for no lobby duty in the dark!).
i sort of miss my morgantown friends from last year; i saw them every single day all year, and i haven't seen any of them since summer started. oh well.
why does it keep thunderstorming?
tomorrow night is the daycamp olders late night thing. that means that i get to stick around with all of my kids from 9:00am until 10:00pm. oh god.
the discovery space shuttle was launched today. it was 111 miles above the earth just one minute after it was launched! craziness.

gouge.

yesterday was patron saint day en santiago de cuba, oriente. i forget to tell you all.
i think that we had about the biggest thunderstorm i've ever seen here a little while ago. it was scary with lots of rain and rip roarin' winds. the poor little fuzz was shaking.=(
today was the first day of survivor week at daycamp. we had a counselor challenge which involved me running. a lot. death. i turned pink (eric did too!!!!). anyway, all of the counselors were disgustingly sweaty and wheezing when it was over (i might've thought this was funny if i hadn't been one of them!).
guess what?!?! i got my roommate assignments for bethany, and i'm with 2 foreign exchange students from germany! darla thing. i'm very excited!!!lol it'll be fun to be friends with them; and, i won't have to share a bedroom w/ either of them, just a living room and kitchen.
tomorrow is a dress down day at work. woot.
my dearest little brothers both left for north carolina at 6:00 this morning.
after work, i was sitting on my bed and the evile cat was sitting on my window sill. i reached over very slowly & quietly to get my visor...then, i got all ready to throw it at her (bc it'd be funny!). then she jumped down and came over to me! i was mad; i wanted to throw it at her w/o her seeing it to make her jump and run. sigh. aren't i mean? but, i'm funny (i wasn't going to hit her!).
i have the bestest boyfriend in the whole, wide world!!!! i love you, eric.

reclaim.

questionare: is it insane for my parents to keep ALL of the remote controls in a locked cabinet for no reason but to keep them away from me and my brothers? please comment.
my great, great grandparents were named franz and franziska. isn't that funny? he was 22 years older than her, and they lived in neunkirchen, austria.
i went to eric's church with him this morning. it was nice; i don't particularly care for the pastor at my own church anymore.
i really want school to start. but, i don't want eric to leave!!!
my mom made a coffee cake last night. it's normally a christmas thing, so i'm not sure why she made it now. anyway, it's good.
i want to get some pink plaid sheets for my bed when school starts. other than that, i think i'm about set to go and decorate my very own dorm room...again!lol it's going to be weird in a dorm after living in a house last year, but at least i won't have a roomie.
guess what? eric has my work visor!!!! i thought that i'd lost it, remember?
i think that i'll clean a lot of stuff this week while my brothers are gone. that way, the house will be all sparkly clean when i have it to myself!=)
i ate some quiche for supper.
hey, there are only 2 more weeks of this work business for me this summer! then 3 weeks of spending lots of quality boyfriend time before he leaves...and, then school starts. summers go by so quickly; this up-coming semester best do the same.
i'm wearing that bethany t-shirt and a pair of eric's pants that try to fall down every time i walk. it's hot.
i have the hiccoughs again.
estoy cansado.

*now don't forget to answer my question!!!!* -------->

nascent.

TODAY IS MY BOYFRIEND'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=) we celebrated appropriately with lots of cake and party poppers; it was a good time. i love you, eric!!! *xoxoxo*
i got a t-shirt in the mail from bethany today (even though i never replied to the size question!). they sent me a medium; it's a little big, but not that bad. and, it's a prettier shirt than the one that they sent eric!lol
fireworks are going on at the waterfront for the italian festival right now. woot. i'm not there; italian festival fireworks can't even compare with independence day fireworks.
hey, i also got my room assignment for bethany...and, i have my own room!!! darla thing. i was soo NOT looking forward to having a roommate and possibly repeating my freshman year roommate fiasco.
in reply to my anonymous commentor, i simply don't want to learn to play guitar. my brother plays guitar, and my dad is a trained music teacher/band director. but, i don't want to. try again (and, maybe you could fess up and use a name this time? hah.).
eric's sister found it a kitten. it's sort of cute (and, sort of ugly.). anyway, i named it isaiah; izzy for short. his other cat is zoey, and i think that izzy and zoey are nice pet names. too bad zoey is a boy and izzy is a girl. oh well.
here's a riddle for you all to ponder tonight: what's round on both ends and high in the middle?
my insane parents went spastic on me this afternoon. again. (they think i'm a whore. again.)
the brothers are leaving for camp tomorrow. or maybe monday morning. anyway, they'll be gone for a bit of time. THEN, the whole family is leaving me for a week. partay here!..yea right, i'll be working the whole time.
know where i want to go? to a club--a fun one with lights and stuff (like not a gross morgantown one!). i want to drink sometime too.
life is funny, isn't it? people assume things so often--good and bad. but, life just goes where it wants to go. even little tiny things have the ability to change your outlook or your whole life. weird.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ERIC!!!!!!

my fabulous boyfriend's birthday has only just begun--woohoo!!! so, tomorrow (actually today, but at a more reasonable hour...perhaps daylight!), we shall go on a romantic birthday adventure in the lovely city of wheeling. and, i'll get to present him with his special birthday gifts (butty.)!!!!
i went to get my hair cut tonight, but, sadly enough, the salon had changed its hours and was closed. that peeved me. my mom informed me that they've raised their prices too, but i have a 20% off coupon that they mailed me a few weeks ago, so that's okay for now.
work was jolly today; they didn't make me go in preschool again!!! i got to keep my regular group, so i was very happy about that (as were they). all of the olders watched a movie in the teen center this morning; rather than boil alive all morning, we got to shiver. it was a nice change of pace and climate.
oh, i lost my visor at work somewhere between the pool and the wp. i think i probably left it in the locker room. poop. i'm slightly disgusted because i never lose anything, and i just lost something that was actually important. oh well, i never tuck my shirt in or wear a belt, so i'm always out of dress code anyway.
i am insanely tired...and, it only a little past midnight! agh. but, i've been up since 6:15 to be at work by 7:15. death to that. but, i worked early care with eric!=) he got to break up a big, scary fight between two fat boys. *chuckles*
hey, those brits are doing a darn good job of taking care of the bombers. hooray for britain!!! all of those other creeps had better be long gone by the time i head over there in a few months; i REALLY want to see london!!! ...and, i want to see it not bombed to smitherines!
the fairly odd parents theme song has been stuck in my head since 7:30 this morning.
hey anonymous! book collecting isn't really a hobby; it just happens. any other brilliant ideas, smarty?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR ERIIIIIIC, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!! i love you.

affection.

oh nooooo, i didn't get to blog yesterday!!!!! *shakes in withdrawal* anyway, here's how my day went: work, meeting, major frustration, mall with eric, dinner at greco's, blockbuster visit, hanging out at my beautiful boyfriend's house, experiments with 21, sleep. t'was a good time.
so, my "major frustration" business above is sourcing from my boss. here's the deal, i asked to be with older kids before she had even hired a lot of counselors. then, she put me in preschool. i asked to move again, and she moved me to olders the second week. then, she moved me to middles. then back to olders. now i've been in preschool for 2 days again! i don't like change, and i REALLY don't like unexpected changes (all of these have been sprung on me 3 minutes beforehand). yea, i know that she does it because i'm responsible and she knows that i can do it, blah, blah...but, i don't want to! it's pissing me off. i probably sound like i'm making a huge deal out of something stupid, but it's frustrating me beyond belief!!!!!
today was the preschool zoo trip. oh, and i had to go because, hey, i'm in preschool for the day!!! shoot me. actually, it wasn't that bad; i mean, it was a typical zoo trip. i didn't want to be there, but nothing went majorly wrong--so that was good. i honestly don't like the preschoolers this year; i enjoyed talking to my kids from last year more today than i did mine for this year...er, day.
we had to be at the park at 8 this morning to clock in, but had nothing to do until 9. why? beats me, but we had to. i felt bad because i was at eric's house, and he had to get up early too. anyway, i went to work at 8, clocked in, then erin and i went to mcdonalds to get breakfast (leeann said that we could!lol). anyway, erin hates the preschoolers too; she's kinda in the same boat that i am. it was a nice day.
timmy's friend is here, and they're all in the pool. i want to go swimming, but i don't want to while he's here! he's weird. and, he rode his bike here, so nobody knows when he's leaving (my mom is annoyed that he's here too, haha.).
hey, someone tried to bomb london again!!!!!!! *very mad* but, they caught it all before it really did any harm, so that's muy bueno. snaps for british people!!!!!!!!!!
i talked to the one counselor that i've like never talked to before for almost 2 hours this afternoon. we discussed relationships and stuff like that. it was sorta weird, but not bad weird. he's considering breaking up with his girlfriend and wanted another opinion--i would've felt bad telling him to do it, so i didn't really side one way or the other. i just told him what i thought about different stuff.
i think that maybe i shall clean my bedroom tonight; it's getting a bit untidy. i also desperately need to wash my uniform. and, perhaps, i will wash a few other articles of dirty clothing. we shall see...
hey, i liked the comment about the book collecting! i do collect books (c'mon, i'm an english major!!!). but, book collecting is not a hobby that requires a lot of time consumption. i read a good deal though. i like british literature the best (shakespeare is definately up there pretty high!), so you ought to donate a book or five to my collection.
i ate some weird chicken fry thingys for lunch today. they were good, but very odd. erin and i got lost looking for the food place above the pool (it's hard to get up there!). and, we looked even dumber bc we were wearing our uniforms, so it looked like we actually worked there.lol
my wonderfully fabulous boyfriend is at work right now. that's sad; i want to talk to him--i didn't get to see him all day bc i was on the zoo trip!
tonight is a full moon. it is a proven fact that kids are more rowdy, people have more sex, and more babies are born on full moon nights than other nights. why? it's weird.
bethany called me (the college, that is...) to ask what size of a t- shirt i want.lol but, i forget the email address that she told me to reply to. sigh, i guess i won't get a fabulous bethany shirt. well, if any bethany college officials are reading this (and, i'm sure several are!), i want a small.
i'm going to canada in a few weeks. why? i don't know. we're going to niagra falls and...other stuff? anyway, we're staying on the canada side.
today is the anniversary of charles and diana. woot.

framework.

i have this new tendency to go swimming in my pool around 9:30pm. it's nice. i just got out, and i'm sitting here dripping on my lovely carpet and composing a blog to you. appreciate my zealous writings.
timmy got a cellular phone a fortnight ago. he plays with it all the time!!!! seriously, the boy totally has all of his ringtones completely memorized by now. 'tis annoying.
tonight, i went birthday shopping for my stupendous boyfriend. i bought him lots of wonderful gifts (a gerbil and a board game...). i also bought myself a pair of flip flops and a bag (they were on clearance!!!!). the bag is WAAAAAY cute!!!!!
oh, i also bought the fuzz a present. it's a bird on a string with shiny feathers. and, catnip!!!! woot. he chewed the bird for a long time.
thank you ever so much for the hobby suggestion. but, one problem...i can't draw. seriously, my drawings consist of a 2-dimensional world and lots of stick people. on the other hand, they are very fun; i like to draw myself and acquaintances on adventures (ie: the beach and other trips that we take.)
i got a surprise for my daycampers while i was out tonight. they get rice crispy treats tomorrow because they are good (the treats or the campers? you decide.)
i met a guy who studied in germany for a year while i was at the mall tonight. we had a nice discussion about germany and europe. i can't disclose any more of the conversation because then eric will know more than he should before saturday. if you really care, ask me after saturday.
maybe i'll shower soon. i ought to.

dot.

hmm, i got my first ever mean blog comment last night. *sadness!* anyway, i am not obsessed with myself, darling anonymous; this is my blog--it's supposed to be about me!!!! and, i shall continue to compose blogs full of myself because i think that they are fun. if you don't like them...don't read them. oh, and you're right; i need a hobby--a fun one! any suggestions?
anyway, work was shittay today. it was hot, i was tired, it rained, and the kids were muy bad. tomorrow ought to be better (i hope!!!!), but i have to start at 7:15, so that's yucky. oh well, it's $$$.
eric and i went on a little adventure after work today. that was jolly. i have the very best boyfriend ever!!!!!! ya'll should be jealous; he's aaaaall mine! (oops, was that obsessing about myself? haha.)
i watched "anastasia" this evening. i like that movie a lot; it's historical (to an extent, it is rooted in the gruesome assasination of czar nicholas' family in 1917 by the communists.), it has good music, anastasia is sassy (voiced by the fabulous meg ryan!!!!), and she has a dog named pooka. so, that's why i like that movie. watch it.
did anyone read about how they found all of those artifacts in pompeii? that's cool.
i eat a vitamin every single day (i think i'd die if i didn't.). is that weird? oh well. you won't be laughing at me when you have the plague and i don't bc i take vitamins!!!!

ooooh!

*hey, today is international sexy shoe day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

olive.

my mommy gave me a lovely gray and black giraffe print blanket this morning. i’ve always thought that animal print is ugly as room décor, but this is cute and way soft!
i’m getting excited for school to start up again! well, actually, i’m getting excited to buy school stuff and things like that; i’m kinda nervous for real school.
a nice, spiky, plastic tiger came into my possession today. he’s sort of like a koosh ball. anyway, i named him tad; he stands beside thing 1 and sasha now.
i wish i were 21 already. oh, just you wait…
the fuzz has been in a jolly good mood today…=) yay!
next weekend is the upper ohio valley italian festival! and, next saturday is eric’s birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“clam” is a funny word.
i went to church this morning. it was very “churchy.”
“imagination is like a gumdrop; once you’ve tasted it, you’ll never settle for just plain!”
eric bennett, i LOVE you soooo very much! xoxo!!!!
i defragmented my computer this afternoon. it enjoyed it immensely. my computer is in very good health—seriously, it’s a lot healthier than most people’s. and, it thanks me by never, ever having any problems (i don’t even have any pop-ups!).
the pine trees around my deck needed to be trimmed back…so i got to do it today! i like trimming trees; it’s fun. and, i used gigantic tree sheers!
i went into the woods this evening with my brothers. poo to the woods.
i heart the fuzz. a lot.

incisive.

eric and i baked brownies at my house tonight. and, we bought vanilla ice cream to go with them; they were really yummy!
so, we stopped by the st mike's street fair this evening and saw 1,000 daycampers. woot. and, that really annoying one that ALWAYS hugs me (like 15x a day) was there. she hugged me...as usual.
eric says: "hi....and eric says tiffany is great!" good. that is exactly what eric should say!lol
my goals for the weekend were to repaint my nails, do laundry, and clean my tennis shoes. it is now saturday night, and i have accomplished none of those things. oops. but, i still have tonight and tomorrow! plus, i got to spend some unexpected quality boyfriend time today.=)
i swept my pool for a really long time this morning, but i never got to swim in it. sigh. maybe i will tomorrow.
there are only 3 more weeks of daycamp! this summer is flying.
hmm, i'm going to cut this blog short because i really have nothing more to say about today. i hung out with eric all day; it was mucho funness.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ADAM!

today is adam wilson's 20th birthday. everyone should wish him a good one!
i'm eating some cheese sticks. they're NOT deep fried, and actually taste just as good as the deep fried ones...as if cheese sticks were good for me any way, but oh well. i'm eating a banana and a yogurt with them, so that's healthy!
last night, eric's mommy and daddy cooked lasagna and salad for us. they ate stinky shrimp. anyway, it was a big to do, and the food was muy yummy.
one of the other older girls' counselor's grandma died, so i've had her group all week. they're whiny. but, i was mean for 2 days, and it's better now.lol
leeann has discovered that i'm capable of being in charge of before/after care. this means that i get to come in at 7:15 and be the only person with the kids for a while fairly often now (note: only 2 of us get this highly esteemed priviledge!). so, that's a hoot; it makes me sleepy. but, it's hours...early morning hours.lol and, i never get to work w/ christy any more bc she's doing it on the days that i don't.
eric leaves for spain in exactly 6 weeks. sadness. he will be gone for 156 days!=( but, i'll get to go see him in december...it's still a hell of a loooong time though!
yesterday was bastille day. that's french, people.
i don't have to work tomorrow!!!!! someone should come up and swim with me.
we rented "hide and seek" last night. it was okay--good until the end. but, with 4 alternate endings, everyone can find one to suit his taste!lol anyway, i still like dakota fanning a lot.
"charlie and the chocolate factory" came out in theatres today!!!!
so, bethany sent me the "corrected" transfer analysis sheet. rather than losing the 1 class (3 hours) that i should have, i gained 2 hours. um? i just think that all schools are stupid when it comes to things like this. wvu also returned my money for the transcript "because the first one is free." um, that was my second one, but okay.
i've been scrubby all week. well, i wasn't particularly in dc, but ever since then, i have been. first, i was sick, then i slept for 15 hours, and now i've just been working and being sweaty & gross since then.

crucial.

i worked at daycamp from 9-3:30 today, then i came home for 1/2 an hour, and then i worked vbs at church until 8:30. i'm a bit weary, but it wasn't a bad day. actually, strike that--i hated all of the daycampers today...but i was better by the time i went to church! woot. i worked with the 4 & 5 year olds group at vbs. they're a cute little bunch; i like them. hmm. i ate a hotdog and some orange sherbet for dinner at 9:30 tonight. the fuzz is a happy lil chap. thing 1 is still smiling; he's just glad that i can't see smudgie anymore. i have to get up at 6:30 tomorrow morning and work at 7:15. but, i work early care with eric, so yay! i chewed green tea gum this afternoon; my mom does a lot...it's weird. meh. i want to watch a movie--a really good movie! any new releases or suggestions????

persona.

i'm back!!!!!! washington dc was jolly; a good time was had by all (eric & i). first of all, i haven't been to dc since i was little (at which time i didn't notice this...), but the city is, simply put, nice. yea, the buildings and things are nice, but the people are really nice! the whole city just had this warm, friendly, happy, helpful aura. i can't really explain it, but i saw several different incidents that support my idea. not only are the dc people darn good people, but the city is nice and...washington dc-ish!lol i like all of the monuments and cute town houses and shops. oh, guess what?!?!? our hotel was in chinatown!!!!!!!!! how funny is that?! i've never been in a chinatown before.lol anyway, the hotel was nice (not chinatowny); much nicer than the myrtle beach hotel! haha. i rode the subway for the first time in my life. we rode it a lot; it was fun. this morning, we went to the embassy of spain for a while. it was nice and spanishy with real people of spain and everything--they had a lot of marble in the building, and they spoke a lot of spanish.=) a spanish man in a lovely uniform searched my stuff (he found nothing.). hmm, oh, my very favourite road is definately the george washington memorial parkway--it's a really nice road! my favourite monument was the new world war ii monument (where i learned that guam is a territory of the united states!!!! and, no, i really didn't know...). my favourite building was the white house (duh.). my favourite quote was the hispanic man who walked past us commenting, "muchos hispanoles!" (there were tons!!!), haha. my favourite helicopter siting was seeing them bring president bush home this morning. my favourite drunk man was the one falling over chairs during dinner last night. my favourite thing in the hotel room was the cool washcloth holder. my favourite street was pennsylvania avenue. my favourite sign was the "thou shall not park, lest ye be towed" one. my favourite person in the city was my wonderful boyfriend who put up with me the whole time, even when i was whining!!!!!

d.c.

eric and i are leaving for washington dc in just a few moments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=) woohoo! (if i'm this excited now, just wait until december when i go to europe...haha.)

tube.

tonight was a jolly good evening. eric and i finally got to do something together that wasn't work related!!!! we went to the brand spankin' newly renovated carmike cinemas in st c, where we watched "war of the worlds" in one of the newly opened (like yesterday?) theatres. the movie was alright--definately not quite as terrifying as i'd heard (eh, not even scary...), but dakota fanning was really good! i like her a lot.
after the movie, we went out to the lighthouse. eric ate weird food, and i drank water. a lemon was in the water, and i drank it because i heard that lemon juice has all of these cool health benefits. but, seriously, it tastes like lysol!!! lemons are just pooey. it was comedian night at the lighthouse, which was interesting. they were sorta funny.lol
i'm still sick. feel bad for me. and, it's getting worse, even though i've been doing all of this stuff to make it go away!!!!>=( grr.
oh yea, i got some new shoes tonight!!!!!! again.lol i bought these seafoam blue flip flops with sparkles on them at american eagle. they're way cute! and, they match that shirt that i have of the same colour. it's definately my summer colour; it's pretty, and it makes me look really tan!!!! plus, now i have 2 pairs of summery shoes in this colour. so, darla thing for new shoes for meeeee!
ooooooh, eric and i are leaving for washington dc tomorrow morning!!!!!! *excitement.* be jealous. and, miss me.

pudding.

i can't breathe!!!!!!!!!!>=[ *sniff, sniff.*
carrigan gave me a yellow, plastic, bangle bracelet this afternoon. it's cute. and, it's really loud with my real silver bracelet when i move my right arm.lol
guess what? i don't have to work tomorrow!!!! i think i'll sleep in until like 10. and, maybe i'll be able to get over this cold (a cold in july!?!?!?!?!). i've consumed 2 multi-vitamins and a vitaminy breakfast drink today in hopes of getting well sooner.lol
brockie and i match right now. woohoo! i put on this really cute outfit to see whether or not it worked...and it did, but i have nowhere to wear it. oh, we had a non-uniform day at work today, so i finally got to look cute at work!!!!! it made me happy.lol
olay sent me some free samples via the us postal service today. woohoo, right? but, they sent me 2 different anti-aging creams! hmm. i'm not sure if i should be insulted or not.lol but, they were packaged with that glue stuff that i like to peel off (the kind that adam saves on his gift cards just for me to peel off!lol), so i enjoyed that immensly.
i took a quiz to see what i was in my past life. *chuckles* i must say, the jester business is no big surprise, eh? here are my results:
In a Past Life...
You Were: A Ditzy Jester.
Where You Lived: Scotland.
How You Died: Dysentery.
eric works about 8 days a week now; he'd better be off tomorrow night!!!! and, we'd better still be doing something, because i'm excited for it!lol
london is slowly recuperating from the attacks. good. the usa is now anticipating an "inevitable" attack sometime in the future. why can't we all just get along? everyone, be nice to other countries; they've got cool stuff in them!!!!!
a hurricane is coming. again. stupid dennis.
i painted faces for a really long time this afternoon. it t'was a hoot.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8420463/ that is a very cool cellular thing; i want one.

ramification.

i'm so mad at the people who bombed london!!!!!!!!! london is my favourite. damnit. what is wrong with people?! and, were there terrorists stationed in paris, nyc, madrid, etc. just waiting to see who won for the 2012 olympics...or was it just planned for london? scariness. anyway, those fuckers better hide (they already are, but ya know...) becuase it's just a matter of time before the usa or britain or spain or any other country they attack bombs the shit out of them back.
eric and i are going to washington dc in 3 days. be jealous of him (for getting to go with me, that is!). and, we're staying in another hotel with complimentary coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!! hmm, so this one had better have complimentary coffee filters.lol and, they have complimentary usa today newspapers. yes!
i'm sick. again. and, it's the summer!!!!!! *angry eyes!* some stinky little daycamper probably gave it to me. stuffiness.
you know what i really hate? lemon flavoured things. and, real lemons. i think that the only lemony thing that i like is lemonaid, especially raspberry lemonaid. i've always hated lemon candy.
the fuzz is nearby. love him; he's cute and fuzzyyyyyyyy!
one of the newest words to make its way into the oxford dictionary this year: "frankenfood". it means food that had been genetically modified (almost everything you eat, like it or not!).
i took a 2 hour nap this evening. it was a good time. and, i worked for 10 hours today. that was uh, nice. death.

hand.

hooray for london hosting the 2012 olympics!!!!!!!!!! london is the best city ever. seriously. it beat france in the last vote...and madrid, moscow, nyc, & singapore before that. so, now you know where i will be during the 2012 olympics...and, as a matter of fact, on my 21st birthday!!!!!!!!lol
while riding his mountain bike around scotland this afternoon, president bush collided with a scottish cop. the cop hurt his ankle, and gw's arms are pretty scraped up; other than that, both are doing fine. the mountain bike, on the other hand, is not.
here is a little bit of comparison for all of you people who are bitching about high gasoline prices in america today. according to cbs marketwatch, gas in the united states is almost half the price it was 20 years ago--once you adjust for inflation. canadians pay 1/3 more than americans for gas, and europeans pay a third more than that! wheeze. even so, gasoline is cheaper than just about any liquid we buy (except maybe those big jugs of water we get at the grocery store). here’s a list of common commercial liquids, priced by the gallon:
regular gasoline in the usa; $2.22/gallon.
milk; $2.61/gallon.
hershey's chocolate syrup; $12.61/gallon.
pepto bismol; $56.00/gallon.
coppertone sun block; $192.00/gallon.
chanel no. 5; $46,000/gallon.
so, i've decided that now i like jessica (aka "devil child"). she's been very good this week; she's funny, upbeat, and actually plays the games. apparently, she decided that she likes me too because she talks to me a lot now. woohoo! i'm so proud of myself; i could've just given her to lindsey and left it at that, but i didn't.
i'm wearing pineapple lipgloss.
i think that i'll clean my bedroom tonight sometime. and, paint my nails. it'll be a busy evening around here.
tomorrow is the day that i have to work for over 10 hours. everyone should come and visit me! and, everyone should come to the carnival on friday; it's going to be a good time.
i wore these really cute earrings today, but nobody said anything about them. i've had them forever, but i thought that one was lost (and i've thought that for like over a year). anyway, i saw them both sitting in the thing today, so i wore them. yay!
eric bennett, i love you.

death to them.

here's a rant:
what is up with all of the losers who keep stealing kids?! i mean, honestly, someone has got to be one sick fuck to even think about taking a child from his/her parents...and to take a kid AND molest them AND/OR kill them....omg. it makes me sick! that's gross. how about this little gal in idaho that they just found, shasta groene. that poor kid; the guy killed her whole family, then took her, raped her, killed her brother, and who knows what else. yea, she's alive and physically okay now...but she's scarred for life. there is nothing that could make that little girl's life be back to normal. within like the past year, the number of amber alerts across the states has like tripled! how many kids have been found dead recently? um, a lot. it's one thing when an adult is kidnapped or murdered or raped or just missing--i mean, it's not good...but it's so totally different when it's a kid. why do people do it?!?!
i really have no personal experiance with any of this, but it still REALLY pisses me off every single time that i think/read/hear about it!!! actually, yea, i do. there was a little girl from my church who was kidnapped and raped last year. she was 4 years old. 4 years old!!!!!!!!! (the fucker who did it thought that she was too little to be able to identify him, so he didn't blindfold her or anything; she was able to find and identify him to the police later.)
the first week of daycamp, we were provided with a sexual preditor book. it contains pictures, personal info, and a history of every registered sex offender in the area--it's huge!!!!!! damnit. we also have out daily "visitors" at the pool. they are several (like probably over 25 total) dirty old men who come to watch the kids swim. standing outside the fence watching your kids swimming at camp is normal; sitting there with binoculars or video cameras watching babies swimming isn't. it's sick! knowing that they're looking at me makes me really uncomfortable, but knowing that they're looking at my kids makes me want to rip their heads off!
i am fully in support of that proposed law that would require sex offenders to wear tracking devices. really, simply making them stay so many feet away from schools and daycares isn't a very efficient way of dealing with it. in all honesty, i think that they all should be locked up for life with no parole, but that's not likely to happen. sigh.
wanna get as fired up about this as i am? well, west virginia has over 1,700 registered sex offenders. over 1,700!!!!!!!! that's a lot. and, west virginia is a small state--just think about how many more there are in the country....or in the world, for that matter! it's sick!!!! you can go to http://www.wvstatepolice.com/ to view the west virginia registery with photos, history, etc. i'm sure that the other states have similar sites. anyway, that's one thing that really makes me angry (just so you know.). i think that i'm going to go do something cheery now (like not watch the news!).

recap.

so, my internet was down for several days, and i didn't get to blog, or talk to people on aim, or read my 2,974 junk emails! *sadness* you know that you missed me--might as well admit it. i guess that the other 2 computers in my house had internet, but i'm too lazy to go out and use them; i like my computer...in my room. i wasn't really home anyway. despite all of that, here's the whole writing business that you missed while i was awol from cyberspace.
the 4th of july. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i like the 4th of july a whole lot. let's see...i went to the oglebay fireworks with eric's family on sunday evening, then i stayed at his house that night. we made pina coladas...with a real pineapple! on the morning on the 4th, we came back to my house to eat hamburgers with the parentals (timmy & matthew are at camp), then we went to the carwash (wink, wink), then we went into a gas station to buy water, THEN eric's contact went nutso and i went in reisbecks to buy him some solution. after that experience, we went back up to his house. we ate some more 4th of july food (yay for hotdogs!!!!), and hung around there for a while with people. then we went to the waterfront and met the pope for the wheeling fireworks (snaps for the wheeling fireworks!!!!). after that, we ate dicarlos pizza!=)
well, i had to go back to work today...and, guess who's back from the beach?! devil child; aka: jessica. actually, i saw her on sunday night at the fireworks (where she hugged and told me that she still wants to be in my group). and, yes, i took her into my group today. "WHY?!?!?!?!?!?", you may ask. it's simple; she's good now. um, yea, really good. i think that she seriously wanted to be in my group for a few different reasons which i shall not mention, and that she was kinda just testing me last week. today, she sat with me, talked to me (i heard her whole life story, and told her most of mine today), and even admitted that she's too old to be there. my goal is to be friends with her and make her like me by the end of the summer, and i'm very proud of today.lol
continuing with my daycamp ramble, i have a new little girl in my group. she was there the very first day that i had older girls, and hadn't been back until today. she's nine, but will turn ten on july 22 (day before eric's birthday!!!). so, she could still be in the middle group, but i'm definately keeping her! her name is kristina, and she is fluent in russian. and, german. and, english. and, ukrainian! plus, she's learning spanish. this child absolutely fascinates me; it's sooo cool!lol i want to know lots of languages like that. maybe i'll make her teach me ukrainian over the summer.
i called the wvu admissions and records office this morning before i left for work. it was a giant pain, and i have to send them a lot of stuff to get my final transcripts shipped to bethany. ugh. i'm going to get all of that together tonight, and mail it tomorrow morning. maybe i'll do some more bethany emailing tonight for fun.lol
my pool is all clean now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hooray. and, all of the tadpoles (each named carl) are dead. sigh.
a ton of eric's clothes are sitting on my bedroom floor right now. i got them all out yesterday to give back, but he didn't take any of them. i'll just keep them; they're bigger than me and comfortable.lol
i really wish that i didn't have to wear the park uniform to work every single day. it's not ugly; it's just not very cute--and, there is no way to make it any more attractive.
i'm bored, bored, borEd. i think that i'll go do that college stuff now....hah.
