This is the first entry to the wonderful ramblings of insanity page. I realize that you don't know much about me besides seeing pictures of all the odd things I do with my friends. Well lemme share then. I am a fish, a mooing one. I used to have a webpage about that, but it disingrated. I'm 18 years old, but I'll be 19 in ten days. Actually, I was supposed to be born today so I consider this my supposed-to-be-birthday. I go to Wesley College which is this tiny little thing that hardly anybody's ever heard of down in Dover, Delaware but I actually live in Pennsylvania. I return there in two days. Summer! I have the bestest friends in the world... you all know who you are. We are da Family! And I also have a boyfriend (Chuck) that I've been going out with for about 16 months.

Now onto what's happening in my life right now. Well I'm out of school in two days, as I already mentioned. My daughter's play is on friday, and amazingly, I don't know what it is! (She's not REALLY my daughter, it's part of da Family thing) So it's finals week and they're all really really easy. How many people want to shoot me for saying that? But seriously, they are. I got the best classes this semester so I'm sad that it's over and I might actually have to start doing work soon. The only final that I was worried about was photography, and I got an A on it! Go me! So that's what's going on right now. C'est ca!

I am home from school... and I guess I'm supposed to be happy about that. My best friend will be coming back tomorrow just to visit and see my daughter's play... but then she has to go back to school. My friend Jenn will be coming back on the 13th. Erin (my daughter) is already here but she is a very busy person... so I'm basically whining that I have nothing to do.

Today was tiring though, and right now I am very tired which is rare considering it's only 12:30. But I spent the whole day carrying boxes up and down several flights of stairs, and unpacking and packing and the whole moving routine. Despite the sleepiness, I probably won't go to bed until 3. The weather has been REALLY hot lately... so it'll probably snow tomorrow or something equally bizarre. I wouldn't put it past us (us as in the people). I've actually taken that psychological jump to wearing shorts and once again accepted the fact that I will never get a tan, and even if I did, I'd probably STILL be whiter than an albino person. Yes, I'm very Irish.

I like tacky tape.

I don't think I really fully appreciated my network at school until I got home. I'm luckier than most because we have a DSL line here... which is just as fast as the T1 line (or it seems the same to me), but I'm stuck behind a proxy server until my brother moves out, and I get knocked off AOL Instant Messenger ALL THE TIME. It's quite frustrating. So now I'm off and I've been trying to get back on for 23 minutes. It doesn't seem to want me there.

My best friend (Kate) came home for the day and I spent it with her. Unfortunately, she'll be going back to college tomorrow. We went to see Erin's play which was quite good and funny. It was "L'il Abner" if you've heard of it. I'm going to slowly murder the proxy. I'm getting really tired... once again. I think this is becoming too common. Tiredness is not something I experience much but it seems to be overwhelming me lately. Maybe it's actually my hidden anger for the proxy server. I'm about to go downstairs and go on my mom's laptop. That's what I ended up doing last night.

I've decided to translate this french book I have into english. I don't know why. As soon as school gets out, I need to find educational things to do... but when I'm in school, I never do anything! It's a pretty stupid book but it makes me feel smart. French is my minor... if my school still has it! I think they may have suddenly cancelled it. And Communications is my major, but they call it Media Arts now. Isn't that fancy?

I'm going downstairs now. Grrrr.

I am finally with my own IP number, and this makes me quite happy for I can be online all the time. I started work last monday, and I'm ready for a new job! Nah, it's not that bad. And on the bright side, my friend Jenn starts working with me tomorrow. I have read (listened to) a multitude of books since I started... I don't think I can even remember them all. But I can atleast attempt to bore you with that information. "Desperation" by Stephen King, "YaYa Sisterhood" by I don't know who, but it was certainly my favorite of all of them, "Whispers" by Belva Plain... I think, some book I can't remember the name of but it was fairly decent, "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" (which I had already read, but love), and "A Long, Dark Tea Time to the Soul" both by Douglas Adams, "A Marriage Made in Heaven, or Too Tired to Have an Affair" by Erma Bombeck, and am currently working on "Celestine Prophecy" by James Redfield. I have many more books lined up for the rest of the week. I also had a strange incident with a Danielle Steele tape and it's refusal to do what I wanted.

The traffic at 5 is horrible. I made the mistake of leaving work at that time today. It took me an hour, when it usually takes about 15 minutes. The old man in the car behind me seemed to have trouble with his gas pedel. As in, he didn't use it. He just sort of drifted everywhere. A few times, when there would be a point when I would break free and be able to go a significant distance, he would drift along behind me and somehow always ended up behind me again at the next stop light. His drifting abilities amazed me.

On Saturday I'm having a birthday party of sorts. I turned 19 this past weekend and the biggest presents I got were a broken scanner and a lot of sleep. I rather liked the second one more. The scanner, which is a really nice one, didn't work from the start. I could tell that it was really nice though because it scanned at a high speed, it just happened to be scanning the wrong thing. I am hopeful that I'll be getting a new one soon.

Chuck is visiting, and Kate is coming home this weekend. I am very excited.

This weekend was a weekend I had been looking foward to for a long time. I planned to celebrate my birthday. I invited 10 of my friends and they all accepted and could make it! This is quite a feat for my friends to be able to be gathered in one place at one time and have no conflicts. Chuck came to visit on Friday, he was here for the entire weekend. On Friday night, we cooked dinner together, he did most of the work... I made the spaghetti part of the meal, and retreived things for him because he doesn't know his way around my kitchen. The meal was very tasty. On Saturday, we went to the mall and he bought me two necklaces for various holidays that I can't keep track of. And we went around King of Prussia, getting totally lost, and finally found the CompUSA where he bought me a really spiffy Russian program, because I'm learning Russian... for no apparent reason.

That night, my friends came. Kate was late because she was coming home from college and got stuck in traffic. But she actually reached the restaurant before we did. It was a lot of fun. I took pictures and they will be on the website as soon as I get them and my scanner working. After this, we went to a local fair... which was apparently closing when we got there. It was its last night, but I bought some cotton candy and we took a picture by the statue in the park. I was annoyed because the tickets now cost $1.00 a peice, and it takes 4 to get on a decent ride.

After this, everybody gathered back at my home and we just hung around for a bit, and eventually we all left. Much fun was had by all. Chuck left early the next morning because he had to get back for his best friends little brothers concert. He reports that it was excellent. I woke up to see him off, and then went back to bed and didn't get up again until he had driven for 5 hours, and watched the entire concert. It was 4:15. Sleep is fun.

My room smells good and it makes me hungry, even though I just ate. Is that strange? Well if it is... good, because I am a strange person. This weekend I had a sleepover with some of my bestest friends at my bestest friends house. It was fun. We went in the hot tob. It was hot. We did not stay in it long.

Tonight I am going to see Center Stage. It looks really good and that means that it either is, or that somebody did a really good job on the previews. That's something I would love to do when I'm a grown fish... make trailers for movies. Who wants to hire me??

This hunger is really sporatic and weird. I seriously was just full five minutes ago. I think I might need to leave this room because it's all in my head! Not the room... the hunger. Man, if the room was in my head... that would hurt. But then again, everything else in the world is in my head so I don't see why my room shouldn't be. My daughter told me today that one day they would open up my head and find the seven wonders of the world. I hope I'm dead when that happens cause that would also hurt quite a bit.

My brother moved out recently, and yesterday he purchased two adorable 6 week old kittens. They are named Silk and Snickers. I took pictures of them so when I get my scanner working then I will put them up here. I am really sick of this scanner. These kittens are the cutest little things alive. I am going to steal them. All the kittens and all the adorable babies of the world... I'm going to steal them all! And I shall be forever surrounded by cuteness... until the babies turn into teenagers and abuse the cats of course.

It occurs to me that maybe I should keep track of the thousands of books I will be "reading" this summer so I don't forget. I really like this new song "Swear it All Again" by Westlife. It is inspiring. I guess. Recently, I have decided to learn how to use a dvorak keyboard for no apparent reason. I found it's really easy to switch my computer over from the regular setting to the dvorak one so I have become addicted. But I'm not using it now.

I have also discovered (atleast I think) that nobody EVER reads this page. I could put a death threat up here... and then that person could show up dead, and nobody would know. Luckily, I am not considering killing anybody right now. If you are actually reading these updates... email me cause I would love to know. I don't expect to get a single email.

Recently I felt special because I finally got sent the "iloveyou" virus. Of course I didn't download it... and I also didn't inform the person who sent it to me that she has it... maybe I should have. I feel bad for all the suckers out there with Microsoft Outlook. While it's a great program and all that... one is very prone to viruses because of it. I would just much rather stick with hotmail personally.

Moo.

Wow, it's been awhile hasn't it? I hadn't realized. This summer is going by really fast. Today I was awoken quite early with the news that my car had been broken into and my CD player was stolen. It was a wonderful way to start the day, but despite that, it wasn't entirely bad.

In two weeks I am visiting Chuck and I can't wait. A group of our friends and we are going to Cleveland for the weekend, and I think it's gonna be a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I have to listen to my headphones all the way out to where he lives, which is a 5 hour drive. Plus, his car just broke down so I'm not totally sure how the situation will be handled. Car troubles are amiss! (Is that a word?)

I have another webpage! Well, actually, it's not just mine and there's basically nothing on it but check it out anyway! Alright, well it's been almost two months and that's all I have to say. It's been fun.
