Home for the Holidays

December22

My goodness, I get squirrely without access from my own computer.

Thankfully, that has been remedied. I’m now cruisin at 28.8bps granted by a 5 dollar 56k Best Buy Modem. (Psst, avoid Best Buy like the plague)
My Mother has had nothing but problems from them. She bought the modem because it was only 5 bucks, though the salesguy assured her it was trash.

He doesn’t know Boy! Super-Boy! who can connect modems snapping his tech service fingers. Well, ok, it did take a little bit longer than that.
But it was nice to have him around, and it is soo nice to be online from my room.

BTW, when I’m online from here, the cam will only update every 30 seconds, when ever I feel like turning it on and am home, ect, disclaimer here.

Well, the holidays are upon us, huh?

I’ve been shop-shop-shopping almost every day this week, sheesh. But I’m almost done, and Boy is happy with his presents, I got him a case logic
cd carrying case(which he asked for and was little surprise to him) but I was sneaky
and put a playstation game inside it, also wrapped up pretty.(Bloody Roar)

I’m almost done shopping for my family, I need something else for my father, and
another something for my brother(who has no clue what he wants this year)

My presents for Heidi and Wendy
Are bought, but not wrapped. I don’t know when I’ll be able to track them down, it’s so hard
to get a hold of people around the holidays, unless you’re blood family, as opposed
to mind family.


It’ll all turn out though, and I bet I’ll even get to my Christmas cards sometime this week!


Have a Very Merry Christmas all y’all!

War in Iraq

December16

They are bombing Iraq, The voice of the president is explaining on the radio the reasons why.

Boy icq’d us here a the web office to tell us they were bombing Iraq.

We hit CNN running and pulled up the streaming live video.

Whew… it’s kinda freaky, watching the nightscope through real explosions in the night sky…

I’ve been working through my finals, have to meet a bit tomorrow. No real tests, but my desktop pub assignment is due, I’m using some Stellar Starchilde Graphics.

Here’s a taste.

Starchilde across the Universe

I’m going crazy working on Roh’s Auto Mart

It’s really hard to get everything done during finals week.

On the other hand, my Newswriting final this morning was really a breeze.

In other news, Boy bought himself a shiny

red Trans Am last weekend, it’s an incredible, beautiful car, my eyes got really big and my throat was choked up just looking at it. I was really surprised too, because Boy and Josh came to visit me outta the blue to show me the car.



Send me love, yall, I’m trying to keep on task.

la quixa,

before finals

December6

So it’s the week before finals,

and all through the dorm,

All the students are studying

and trying to keep warm.

Though the weathers been mild

all the way through november

the snow has now fallen

on this sixth of December.

Oh my goodness, I can’t believe that I was wearing shorts last night and was able to just wear my little black dress with it’s shiny
gold (thin) jacket to the Holiday Gala. After a hike with Boy back beyond the soccer fields, up through half-cleared paths, the snow came tenatively down.


I’ve been so thankful of the warm weather, it’s been even up to sixty degrees, and that makes walking across campus to my nine o clock labs so much easier.

I so love having Boy near me, he made it for the Gala, with so little time to know about it before hand. His simple agreements to go to things that let me dress up for him make me feel really warm. What a sweetheart, huh?

Right now I am supposed to be doing homework, but who can resist x-files?

Does anyone have any idea about what I should do for my final desktop publishing project, eek!

Can’t wait for break, I’ll be in madison in two weeks.

busy busy!

December3

ALright already, sorry I haven’t written.

I have been, as they say in France(in french even) busy.

I’ve been busy with schoolwork, Thanksgiving(which was really nice, Boy came over and ate with us and then I fell asleep through part of some football game as we watched on the couch, turkey tired.), and being everyone’s Virtual Girlfriend.(blah, old friend, and the also a high school ex writing me…)

So, how do you like the new design, some areas will be cleaned up when I have more time, navigation will be improved, I promise.

XOXOXO
