yea. i'm in another one of those moods. I'm either really really happy or not. blah blah blah. hmm what to write, what to write....
You ever see that old cartoon "Gargoyles"? I remember it from when my brother and I were little... It's on now, repeats of course. I would change it, but I lost the remote and I'm too lazy to look for it. So I put on music instead. lol.
I have to work tomorrow. 11-5pm. And I work Mon. And Tuesday. that makes 5 days in a row. yuck. I have off Wednesday though... and thursday. and then I work 5-10pm Friday and off saturday. So that's not too bad.
The last time I was in one of these bored/listless moods, my grandmother got a HUGE email from me. lol. I'm blogging in an attempt to not torture my grandmother with accounts of my life. lol. Even though I'm sure she loves it. But do you know how dissatisfying it is to write a 1000 word email and get like 3 sentence replies? grrrr. i love her anyway. lol.
I got into another college. 2 out of 3. I haven't heard from the 3rd yet. But even so... I did better than my cousins--- the ones who's parents always brag. hehe. that feels good. And it shouldn't, I feel like karma's going to come bite me on the arse for even noticing i did better. well too bad karma. :P I deserve to brag everyonce in awhile, when every stupid holiday I have to listen to them. "Oh Heather you didn't practice driving much yet? Danielle's been practicing for months.." "Our new boat...." "Gary Lee's going to (blah blah) pre-college to prepare him" well :P to you people, I'm doing better. I'm happy at least. More than you could say, so I feel bad for you. Money isn't everything.
lol yea I was just talking to someone who will never read this....
Oh, I've been meaning to do this for awhile... everyone go join the broken boot saloon because it's the best forum I've ever been a member of.

just another daaaaayyy...
That's part of a song. I'm not sure which song, but it's in my head right now. Sadly, that is all I can remember, so I just have that loop going through my head over and over. oy.
I wish today were one of those days where I could just write whatever deep thoughts came to my head. Sadly, I have none right now. Hmm, I say 'sadly' too much, no? Anyway, school is not fun. Work is not fun. Not having my teeth (they broke) is not fun.
However, some things are fun. Instant Messaging with people. Emails (and not the angry ones from teachers either!). music.
Ahh, music. I'm adoring it right now. The only down side is the crap batteries my mom bought can only last for about 3 songs at a time in my walkman. grr. But still, one song is enough to soothe frazzled nerves, or get the blood pumping. It transports me. If I want to feel happy, I put on my 80s dance (lol, yea, really. PULSE) CD, and dance around like an idiot to that while screaming the silly choruses. If I want the music to match a bad mood, I put in some slow sad music. So music works either way with me. It will make me happy or mellow me out.
Anyone else like music? I have actually only ever met one person that has said they hate all music....

presenting... happy bunny!!!!!
Yup, that's right folks! It's happy bunny! I think he's hilarious. I found it on blogskins.com. And I was looking for a template change anyway. The thistle was getting just a bit old. You didn't really think I'd go for too much longer without a template change, did you??? ;)
So, what do you think? Let me know with any problems, etc etc. (yes, that includes you, May!)

i scratched the old novel theme/genre. here's the new one. i'm deleting the old one, because i figure... well, it's crap. lol. I'll be writing 1,000 words per day in the new one, hopefully. That's my goal anyway. wish me good luck please, I'll need it. haha.

yadda yadda. bladda bladda. or something like that.
pretty soon i'm going to be starting a game. well, it's not originally my game, I didn't think of it or anything, but nonetheless I'm going to play it on here anyway. It involves linking a bunch of blogs that I've never visited before. So be on the lookout for that game sometime soon. Keep checking back. It'll be fun. I'll give you more details when I play it, which will probably be sometime this week since I have 4 days off (today being the first, so 3 left). woohoo for games, and days off!
i'm sick of blogging about my days off. that has to get boring for you people, maybe as boring as it gets for me to type it. So, on that note, no more mentions of my days off. for this week anyway ;)
I've gotten a few positive responses on an explanation of an incident/person/ghost in the book Beloved. I'm rather pleased with my answer myself. I actually said that the one character wasn't actually a real human after all, that she was instead a "manifestation of Sethe’s guilt over killing the baby", and that each character in the book that had seen Beloved (the ghost/baby) wasn't actually seeing her, they each had their own reasons to create Beloved in their heads. of course that all sounds a lot more put-together and thought out in my actual assignment. This is just me remembering what I put for the assignment. You know what? Reading that book I kept thinking how horrible it was, and how we shouldn't have been made to read it (because of the gross images induced, sex, rape, cuss words, slavery, etc). But now that I've read it, and have had to run it through in my mind so many times because of the essay/trial that I had to write, I think I liked the book. It's certainly not anything that I would have ever chosen to read, but I'm almost glad I did read it just because it made me think. It made me excited to think of possibilities for the characters actions.
Speaking of being excited, I just got an amazing publication/magazine in the mail. From the college that accepted me. It came in an envelope, along with a handwritten note saying how they thought I might enjoy a copy of the magazine since my major will most likely be Pre-law/English. And let me say, it is an amazing collection of stories, artwork, and poems. It actually made me want to go to the college, just so I could meet these amazing minds that are there. The people who have the ability to string together stories/poems/artwork that makes you cry just reading/looking at it. You feel the anguish, happiness, all of that. All that they intend you to feel when reading their work, you do. And then some. It's just so amazing. If I had never recieved any other information on this college whatsoever besides this magazine, this magazine would have made me apply to this college. Just based on the magazine. And this is the one I got accepted to! I am truly amazed, and full of self-doubt. I mean, how could I not be when I got accepted to a college that has such amazing talents? What am I going to be expected to write? I cringe at the thought.
However, I'm ready for the challenge. I haven't felt challenged intellectually lately. I'm not saying that my schoolwork is too easy, it isn't by any means. However, memorizing the differences between ionic and covalent compounds, geomoetry theorms, etc, is not near as stimulating to my brain as holding an actual conversation discussing and debating works of art or literature. There's just no comparison for me.
And the garage just called with my car, it will be fixed somewhat, and it cost me $130 or something like that. Good thing I waited to get my credit card, eh? I have a $250 limit on the card, and I spent $5 on clothing... So I only had $245 to get my car fixed. lol. It does still need a radiator, but that would have made the total cost about $500, and my dad said he can just fix it with some radiator-leak blocker gunk that he has. Or he'll put the new one in. Which will be a lot cheaper than the garage doing it. So yay! And there was some other belt that I needed-- a techner belt?-- but it's only used when you use the air conditioning... Sooo... I no longer use my air conditioner in my car. lol. I never used it anyway. I love an open window. Apparently my techner? belt is broken, and that's what is making my car so god-awful (yet hilariously IMHO) loud. So, if they just take that broken belt off, I won't have the noise anymore. I could have gotten the belt fixed, but that would have been about another $100, and since my car will be perfectly fine (minus no AC) without it, we (dad and I) decided to just say heck with the belt. No sense wasting money I don't have on something I don't need and wouldn't use anyway.

slightly above...
I took the Face the Nation- Fox IQ Test , and accordingly I have a 112 IQ. The average ranges from 90-110, which is 46 correct out of 60 questions. so I did well I guess. :) I wish I could tell you all to take it let me know just because I'm curious/nosy, but I don't think you can take the test online unless you happened to catch the broadcast of the show that was going on at the same time. So, sorry. But it was fun. If you did happen to watch the show and calculate your scores, lemme know! Hoov scored an 80-something, but she gets a handicap since she's below the lowest age bracket (18-34) that they had. lol. My mom apparently has a 107 IQ. :)

woohoo
I got accepted to one of my colleges I applied to! woohoo! it's the first one to send me back a response. I did NOT expect a response so soon. I opened the letter thinking it was just a thing saying that they need more info (SAT scores for example), but lo and behold, I read 'Dear Heather, on behalf of the faculty, staff, --yaddayadda-- I congratulate you on being accepted as a member of this very special college'
WOOOHOOOOOO!
i'm happy, for those that say you can't get emotions over the computer. ;)

today was a bummer
i never use my days off correctly. and nope, Leesa, I get a ton of days off. Usually 3 per week, which is more than most people who have a job lol. But i only work 20 or less hours so at 5 hours per day I work 4 days a week. so yea. plenty of days off, usually :-)
Side note: That :-) face is a biproduct of my chemistry teacher's influence. she puts the - in when she does faces. I usually just put :), but eh i guess she's converted me. lol
so yea, I don't use my days off correctly. Yesterday was almost perfection, I wish all my days could be like yesterday. very relaxing. watched a movie, lazed around a bit, attended a chem chat that I actually got what we were talking about...
today: lazed around till noon, then went to post office, then came back and did school like crazy (world lit), laundry.... and now I have 2 hours till my chem assignment is due, and i have forgotten how to solve 2 of the equations, which is the very thing that i thought I 'got' yesterday. grrrr.
wish me luck. or don't, considering that by the time you read this it'll be over with. lol
