monkey see
monkey do, yeah (proudest monkey by dave matthews band. the end is the BEST part. and one of my favorite dmb songs i've never heard in concert.)

so i went in a chatroom late last night because i couldn't fall asleep. it was weird because i hadn't been in one for like 4 or 5 years. anyway, all these dudes were really into me even though i didn't have any nude pics of myself...like i give them out to just anybody. a lot were telling me they were impressed because i knew "so much" about sports. "so much" was: me listing my favorite teams. hee hee. but then they started fighting over me, and telling the other guys that they had actually met me. one kept saying, "i love netters. she is the only team i need." whoa. that's when i decided to leave. :)

i did have some funny convos last night as i was chattin it up with the fellas. here's a bit from jax and i. (all screen names have been changed to protect the innocent...and not so innocent.)

jax: i think zito's a better looking guy
jax: hudson < mulder < zito
Netters: zito is gay
jax: haha, you don't know that, you're such a trash talker
Netters: and not in the way that people say it to be mean...i really think he is
jax: what makes you think that
Netters: he has a pink pillow he carries everywhere
Netters: has scented candles in his hotel room...
jax: he probably has mulder as a roomie
Netters: yeah
Netters: they probably hump each other
jax: he needs those candles
jax: that's what i was sayin
jax: i think he's just that cool, to where he can carry around a pink pillow
Netters: i know, i do too
Netters: i don't think he's gay
(just so you all know, i don't really think zito is gay. i just thought it would be fun to try to push jackson's buttons.)

and, i was talking with kass at the same time. we were talking about how boys are dumb and i need to not be pulled in by their dumb radar.

Netters: and i was soooooooo not into the convo
kass: good for you though
Netters: i know
Netters: i am secretly proud of myself
Netters: it's hard to say no
kass: Im sure it is
kass: but be strong
kass: be strong
Netters: i will use your advice in my next blog :)
kass: haha
kass: burn the bra
kass: and burn "daniel" ;)
Netters: so hard to say no to someone...when you know it could be all about making out
(so yeah...advice to the ladies....be strong. be strong. burn the bra. and your ex.)

i read about this story the other day and thought it would have been a great experiment to do in one of my soc classes. or even go crazy go nuts like this guy did and write a book about it. i always tried to take mine off after college life...but somehow one would stay attached and the guy giving me change at the movies would be like, "thanks jeannette." ha ha.

awwwwwww, who doesn't want to be a care bear?? i think i found this on kassey's beautiful site.

	Love-a-Lot Bear You love to take care of others and people love being around you because you make them feel appreciated. You are very sweet and soft-spoken. You are also a romantic and consider yourself an excellent matchmaker, so you tend to be a bit nosy. But everyone still considers you the sweetest person they know.
Take the Which Care Bear Are You? Quiz!

hee hee..this was just weird.

You are the Low-Fidelity All-Star. You were born
with your cool, and it's totally natural. You
run the gamut from Hipster Supreme (only they
can ingest as much coffee as you) to the geeky
hipster (Mario Kart, anyone?).
What Kind of Hipster Are You?


great pic. hang ten, kiddies. :)

and, your moment of zen. the caption reads: Orangu-tiny: Dasa, an 11-year-old orangutan, cradles her baby for the first time in public at the Erie (Pa.) Zoo.

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know (you oughta know, alanis morissette)

hee hee. i heard this song the other day when i turned my radio on. i had just turned it on, and there was about 5 seconds of dead air, then it started. it was funny cause i turned the radio up mucho loud (thinking that it was not THAT loud) and alanis starts singing. then, i heard it again today all the way through and thought, "why not just put the lyrics up?" not that i have a boy to be mad at or anything, but they are pretty dang powerful, and damn, every word is so effin true.

You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on it's way

Don't you know that it's worth
Every treasure on earth to be young at heart (young at heart, frank sinatra)

okay, as most of you know, i'm not really emo in my blog because for one thing, i cannot stand it when other people say things like, "OMG, i just want to *die* because my boyfriend does not want to marry me." stupid crap like that does not interest me. i usually put little updates here and there, give shout outs to all the homies, and always a link or two on an interesting story or picture. i'm not saying my way is right or anything, but i think it's better than being all emo every dang day. i wanted to include a little tidbit that i normally wouldn't share with most of you. i went to allison's bridal shower this afternoon and had a great time. it was so awesome to see her and this guy that she is about to marry, because they seem genuinely happy. unlike some other people i've seem who are younger and look like they're really rushing things. that got me thinking on the way home today that i should not ever "settle" for any guy. granted, nobody is perfect, but if there are a few red flags, then i need to move on. it was a great hour drive back home to think about this. but of course, the "pantry soup factor" comes into play. recap on P.S.F.: whenever i eat my mom's famous pantry soup, and spill on a white shirt (not on purpose) some new guy always pops into my life. it's funny because i tried my hardest not to spill today, and thought i hadn't until i went into the bathroom and saw a huge spot. i sort of laughed with the fam, and was like, "all right, time for mr. right to come over." ahhhh, yes, so funny. because guess who called. oh yes, the ex. it sort of surprised me because i was hoping it was my husband, mark. :) but yeah, i guess i wasn't expecting him to call. i felt kinda bad, cause when we were about to go, he kept telling me to give him a call next time i was in davis. i just said, "uh-huh." i feel bad because i wasn't really excited about it, but i don't need to be, right?? i don't want to date this guy again, so i don't need to give myself false expectations like, "it's going to be so great if i go visit and hang out with him." arg. i'm going to journal about this...but i'm frustrated because i was so happy that i wasn't writing about any one specific boy. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! oh well, he'll get like a sentence or two. most will be on what i feel i've learned this last month or so. :)

so fun times for the nfl draft. boller got picked in the first round, packers got some crappy numbers in each round. so many pac 10 players went, too...like 8 or something. too bad everyone calls it the pathetic 10. yeah, looks pretty pathetic right now. yeah for 2 cal guys going in the first round!! these guys came from a season of 1-10 and stepping it up last year. horray for them. oh, and i randomly came across this awesome pic the other day...speaking of cal. :)

and i apologize to two wonderful girls i met the other day at lake elizabeth. jessica and alecia...HELLO!!!! sorry i didn't mention you before. but you rock and i hope that we can hang out some more!!

okay, this is starting to bug me, and i need to get it off my chest. i'm totally bothered by people i see in coffee shops other than starbucks. i hear a lot of talk about how people who go to starbucks are yuppies. (i frequent both starbucks and mom & pop type places...usually whatever's closer...just so you know my background.) but this is my message to those who drink only at non-starbucks places and call everyone else a "yuppy": if you are ordering anything other than a regular or decaf cup of coffee, you are a freaking yuppie too. so ha ha!!

a few pics to share with you. this one is an awesome space pic. i'm a dork and proud of it. how come i never get a victory beer this large when i win championship soccer games?? and hello, have i linked these 2 polar bear pics yet?? awwwwwwwwww!!

well, that's all outta me. sorry it's a random entry with me mainly ranting. but that's what i get to do. i'm not forcing you to read this. it isn't russia. hahahahahah!! i'm really excited now cause it's raining and one of my fav things is to fall asleep to the rain. night!!

quiz time!!
this was kinda cool

Which Founding Father Are You?

Sunrise - You seek to learn all you can so that you
may teach the wisdom of the world to others.
You enjoy tranquility and peaceful beauty, and
like to feel at one with the world.
When are you?


weird quiz...

Red/Green/Blue:
To you, the world is logical. Everything happens
for a reason, life is scientific. You like to
find solutions. I doubt you needed to take this
quiz in order to realize this.
What color do you see the world in?


dang, i was hoping to get pink. AND, i have a false sense of contentness. thanks to this quiz, i know i'm not really happy. hee hee. it's weird, it looks like the beginning of an an anime orgy. hahahahahahahah

You are blue. You are somewhat innocent, in the fact that your genius only extends to the physical world. You have a false sense of contentness. You are usually the quiet one, the genius. Everyone can count on you to help when they have problems, but you only fall short of being able to solve your own.

What inner color are you?

When you want her lips, you get her cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more then she's fast asleep
Leaves you twinkling with the stars
Poor young grandson there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way, ooh la la.

I wish that I knew what I know now,
when I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now,
when I was stronger. (oh la la, faces....they took this song, this perfect song as the ending for "rushmore" and put it in a freakin car commercial. i'm gonna hit someone.)

i'm really tired, but want to post some fun stuff i've found and let you know how i've been doing. my last few days have been pretty fun filled. easter was a lot of fun. i got lots of candy (as usual). i asked for just this little box from williams-sonoma...and got that, plus jelly beans plus sour candy plus more sour candy plus the easter bunny left a hunt for my bro and i for chocolate eggs. dang...does the easter bunny WANT me to gain 300 pounds?? after that, we went to my aunt's house for easter brunch and hung out forever. well, i wanted to leave early so i could go to the a's game. but erik, my dad and mom didn't seem like they wanted to go, and i didn't feel like going by myself. luckily, my mom decided to ditch the boys, and we went!! so much fun cause we got to sit down low behind home plate!! BEST EASTER EVER!! oh, and i also got this hat. now before you judge me, i want you to know that i'm not planning on wearing it to a lot of games, and it's not that pink. it's super effing cool. and you all wish you had one.

i hung out with some cool kids on monday...props to kass for getting the ball rolling and me excited!! i got some flowers with my mom yesterday, and spent part of today planting them. i got a bunch of really pretty ones and put them in planters. it's so beautiful...lots of different layers and colors. not anything wacky. :)

i saw, "better luck tomorrow" this morning. it's one reallly realllllly good movie. go out and see it already!!

all i have to say about this whole scott peterson arrest is: you just don't have $10,000 in cash when you are thinking of selling your wife's car because you need the money. or change your hair color, beard color, and for crying out loud, your eyebrow color. guys don't randomly do that. or think that. you look effin guilty. good luck finding a jury that won't be biased. it's weird to think, "what if i was picked for this jury?? could i think of him as innocent?? i feel like i already have my mind made up. let's hope that if he is innocent, he has one hell of a lawyer.

so i guess that will ferrell runs marathons. he's so freakin hilarious in that first link. :)

i have to have this picture of sully on today. too many people have been talking about this skit. and i have to remind myself that next time, my boyfriend better have a higher i.q. than him. hee hee!! :)

the a's won tonight!! horray for my husband!!

did anyone watch the ducks/stars duckies game tonight?? it took for-freakin-ever. they played 5 overtimes, my friend. and i don't know how many hockey fans i have out there...but overtime periods in playoffs are different. none of this 5 minute crap because they can't end in a tie. they go for 20 minute periods...like real freakin periods. so these guys basically played 2.5 games. actually, the game should have been over earlier...ducks scored but the refs called it back. dummies.

well, i need to get going. i gotta be at my cousin's house at 6am tomorrow morning to watch her. at least starbucks is open early...

and now, your moment of zen.

hello kiddies. i feel like i have a lot of links and stuff. so click on whatever you want. as usual. :) everything's the same with me at the moment. i'll give you an update when life needs to be updated. :) although, i have been looking at suv's the last few days. i think this is the one i'm going to buy next summer. horray for hybrids!!

i gotta quote kassey from our convo last night. we were talking about leading jr high kids, and she says, "it's so great, it's like having mini-kids." and then adds, "it could be a magical thing my friend, magical." this was on the potential of her and i...our group jr. high kids becoming pen pals. basically, we were talking about working with jr. high kids...me in freakmont, her in davis...and how cool it would be for them to be pen pals or meet at one point. :)

found this on a website. figured since a holiday was coming up, might as well include a little history. not about jesus...you can find him in your bible. i mean the dumb stuff we don't know about. like eggs and bunnies. "Now you know why Easter changes around from year to year. But what about the Easter bunny and those eggs? Well, back to the Saxons for the Easter bunny. They worshipped the goddess Eastre by the earthly symbol of a rabbit or "hare" as rabbits were known. Eventually the custom of the Easter bunny was brought to America by the Germans. Chocolate and candy eggs have become popular in this century, but exchanging of eggs in the springtime is an ancient custom. Egyptians buried eggs in their tombs. The Greeks placed eggs on their tombs. A Roman proverb states, "All life comes from an egg". In most cultures, the egg signifies birth and resurrection. So when the church began to celebrate the Resurrection in the second century, the egg was a popular symbol. In those days, wealthy people covered gift eggs in gold leaf, while peasants dyed theirs with flowers and herbs."

ummmm yeah. this makes sense. just show me where to go so i can start kicking ass.

this is a cool program.

peta doesn't deserve this attention. but they're stupid enough that i have to link it. jesus was actually the prince of eating meat. hahahahahahahah.

i'll pay someone $10,000 if they can figure this website out.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwww!! hello, world!!

okay, so i'm "shannon" because i never use "jeannette" when i go out to like jamba juice or starbucks. they can never say it right. so i use shannon a lot. i dunno. i'm weird. but this is cool cause i'm a garlic-eating psycho monkey. and you're not!! lemme know what you are!!

ohhhhhh and by the way...

my dad got invited to the giant's game tonight...and he caught a foul ball in the third deck!! i got to see it tonight, but he's giving it to his friend who took him to the game. fun times.

Now I love to feel that warm southern rain,
just to hear it fall is the sweetest sounding thing
And to see it fall on your simple country dress,
it's like heaven to me I must confess

'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you (steal my kisses, ben harper...i haven't heard this song in ages!!)

wouldn't it be nice to have a boy to steal kisses from?? hee hee...

i had a job interview on monday at p.g.&e. with a lady that i had sent my resume to (to basically have on file) and with another lady at the same time for a job that was available. it was pretty coolio cause they both work with each other every now and then, so it was fun to see them both talking to each other about the job. i'm not going to know for a while (early may) which sort of sucks. but hey, it could be an early birthday present. who knows. :)

i've sort of fell like i'm in a weird stage of my life lately. i don't want to get into it too much here...i'm not about being emo on my blog...that's what my journal is for. but i just wanted to write about it here to so it doesn't seem like all i do is quizzes and talk about how i go back and forth to davis. :) i just feel weird that i'm not secure with a job or what i'm doing with my life. i'm sort of okay with that...i feel god blesses me more and more each day...but at the same time, i want to have a job so i can feel a little more independent. then i can make a little bling bling and move on out. :) it's sort of odd to not know what i'm doing or where i'll be in a month. but it's all coolio cause god is in control. and he doesn't mess up.

i found this article after my job interview on monday. this is very comforting news to people my age.

this picture is just too damn cute. i think it's the best pic i've seen in a while. the caption reads: Blowing bubbles: Momentarily underwater, 6-month-old Aidan Serna swims toward his mother at a Waterbabies class in Santa Fe, N.M

and awwwww...it's time for another polar bear pic. the claws are just a little scary. the caption reads: Victoria secreted: Peeking out from between Mom's legs is 3-month-old polar bear cub Victoria at Hagenbeck's Tierpark zoo in Hamburg, Germany. Victoria is the first polar bear born at the zoo in eight years.

well, that's it for now. i'm looking forward to a fun weekend with the fam for easter!! and possibly an a's game on sunday...after brunch. woohoo!! nighty nighy kiddies

woah. found a few quizes. hope ya enjoy them. :)

What Dave Matthews Song Are You?



"i have needs too!!"

You are Cio Cio San from Puccini's "Madama
Butterfly"!
You're quiet, unassuming, and conventional. You
don't like to make waves and so you are always
deferential and polite. But don't let yourself
be a doormat--you have needs too!

Which DIVA are you?



ohhhhhh, they applaud me. :)

You are the Marquis Da Sade. Even stripped of
exaggerations, Your real life was as dramatic
and as tragic as a cautionary tale. Born to an
ancient and noble house, you were married
(against your wishes) to a middle-class heiress
for money, caused scandals with prostitutes and
with your sister-in-law, thus enraging your
mother-in-law, who had you imprisoned under a
lettre de cachet for 14 years until the
Revolution freed you. Amphibian, protean,
charming, you became a Revolutionary,
miraculously escaping the guillotine during the
Terror, only to be arrested later for
publishing your erotic novels. You spent your
final 12 years in the insane asylum at
Charenton, where you caused another scandal by
directing plays using inmates and professional
actors. You died there in 1814, virtually in
the arms of your teenage mistress.
You are a revolutionary deviant. I applaud you.

Which Imfamous criminal are you?



i'm descriptive. hahahahhahha

You are a descriptive writer. An avid reader of
Robert Frost, perhaps, you LOVE to use flowery
words and use the paper and pen as your canvas
and paintbrush. You prefer to paint a mental
image rather than simply toy around with
people's minds. A very inspired person, you
love to be in nature and usually are a very
outdoorsy type of person. A writer with a
natural green thumb, perhaps?

What's YOUR Writing Style?



dang it, i thought i'd be some crazy thing.

You are normal. Lucky little you

What Self-Mutilation Are You?

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak (sway, dean martin)

regarding my last post, some girls in my mark mulder group wanted to know what it meant. i had to direct them to urbandictionary.com and warn them since a few are under the age of 18. i agree with this comment the most, "I mean, what does that say about you and your team??" hahahahahahhahahaha

i don't know where to start for my trip to davis this weekend. i almost got in two car accidents on the way. the first one couldn't have been more choreographed; it looked like something out of hollywood. we're all going the speed limit, but really really close to each other since there is a ton of traffic. all of a sudden, someone slammed on their brakes and everyone slams on their brakes and points their car in a different direction. the car in front of me veered to the left, the car in front of it went to the right, i stayed straight, car behind me went left, cars next to us all went the opposite direction...i don't know how one car didn't hit another. we all just sort of sat there for a second, and then straightened off. crazy. the second scary time, we were going pretty slow, and then stopped. some dude behind me didn't see us stopped, and almost rear-ended me in a huge truck. i saw him in my rear-view mirror as he spun 180 degrees. at that point, i was a little stressed while driving...just waiting to get to davis!!

friday night i hung out with kassey and she took me to IHOP...my first time. now i can't use it for "i've never." oh well, not like i did anyway. :) after dinner, michelle came over and we all just talked and talked. i don't think we would have been able to go out for a drink like we were planning because we had wayyyy too much to catch up on. and her ring is so beautiful...it doesn't need a diamond to sparkle. :) girlies, soon we will have to really, "prove it like a theorem" and paint the town RED. give it up for J to the Nut, K to the Ass and micHELLe. muahahahahahahhah

on saturday, i headed over to roomie's house ready to get my party on. promises of kegs always will bring me to the par-tay. hee hee. although it was the CRAPIEST day ever for picnic day, we made the most of it. we watched a few of her friends at the fashion show in the pouring water (not rain). i can't believe how wet we both got considering we had waterproof jackets on. our jeans/shoes/jackets totally soaked up any water that was falling...and it was falling quick. like i said before, "i think we might have been a bit drier if we had jumped in the ocean." molly made an appearance once we got back to the house...ready to party but the kegs were nowhere to be found. silly boys. so many parties were ruined...nobody could hang outside. thankfully kelly wanted to be a homebody so we put on some sweats and hung out. i feel bad for any high school students that came to picnic day...the rain scared them away...not the drunken lair kids. just kidding.

a few pics to share with you. the first is an amazing photograph. the caption reads: A fallen giant sequoia dwarfs park ranger Deb Schweizer at the Mariposa Grove in Yosemite National Park, Calif. The tree and another sequoia fell after standing for more than 1,000 years, eventually towering 30 stories tall. When they fell, a hole the size of a jetliner opened in the forest canopy. the second picture brought a tear to my eyes. caption reads: Cleaned their pates: When Nate Madaj lost his hair to chemotherapy treatments for Hodgins lymphoma, his teammates on the Lima (Ohio) Central Catholic basketball team shaved their scalps in a show of solidarity.

i found this tidbit on some random website that had an article titled, "myths about women." i now bring you your moment of zen: myth: Women don't cheat as often as men do. reality: Men just don't find out about their affairs as often.

oh snap!

i just want to add that i thought it was DISGUSTING that there was a sign shown at the a's game tonight that said, "toss the a's salad." greg papa was like, "that's cool. what does it mean?" nobody knew...and he was like, "okay, send us an email telling us what it means." oh my god. he's gonna crap his pants when he finds out.

it reminds me of a game last year...a's or giants...i can't remember now. the catcher made a play at home and hit the guy in the ass, and one of the dudes said, "wow, he tapped that ass." then they talked about it, and came to the conclusion that they didn't know what it meant. my advice for people over 30: if you don't know what a phrase means, don't go around talking about it, cause it's most likely going to embarrass the hell out of you. sorry, it's just how i feel.

sweet like candy to my soul
sweet you rock and
sweet you roll
lost for you
im so lost
for you (crash into me, dave matthews band)

my horoscope for today is funny. watch out world (or boys!!) cause here i come!!

Like your male compatriots, dear Taurus, something is coming to an end concerning the lack of confidence you have in yourself. You have been hesitating to stand in the spotlight for quite a while now, feeling you are not quite ready. Well, no more excuses! Ready or not, you are going to have to push forward. The only thing you risk losing is your pride, and that, dear dear Taurus, is most resilient

ohhhh, my friend is becoming more popular!!

and, your moment of zen. no, it's not naked boys tonight, sorry. :)

come on fhqwhgads,
come on fhqwhgads.
everybody to the limit,
the cheat is to the limit
everybody come on fhqwhgads!! (stong bad, strong bad sings)

kiddies, if you do nothing else today, look at this site. it's a sign of the apocalypse, i believe. it's emotion eric and the brothers chaps (from homestarrunner.com....like i need to tell you this) playing football!! and, i just realized...for your viewing pleasure...that there is a homestar runner character hidden in each picture. like the first one, trogdor is in the upper left corner!! wayyyyyyy coolio. i had seen this picture a few days ago when emotion eric had updated his website, but didn't realize that it was los brothers chaps until today!! that totally makes up for the late strong bad email!!

and, my bro has "everybody, everybody!!," "trogdorrrrrrr," and "everybody to the limit" songs on his phone!! how awesome is that?? this guy/gal...i don't know...made them and they only work for like 2 phones. they're trying to get it to work for mine!! how nice!!

well, this post makes it seem as if i stay online all day looking up information for strong bad and gang. that's not the case. today was just a banner day. oh, and thanks to jacksonian for helping me with my picture of will ferrell!!

What Wheel of Time Character are you?

all i would like to say is that i just saw a commercial with celine dion singing, and she sang the word, "ironical." now i don't consider myself to be the queen of grammar or prose, but really...ironical?? okay, i guess she can slide this time since she's from canadia and all.

that's all you're getting outta me tonight. sleep tight!! :)

let's go oakland!

horray!! i went to the a's home opener last night and had such a fun time. i'm surprised at how short the break was between the world series and opening day. well, i don't know if it's really a short break in terms of days, or it just felt short to me. i think it helps being in a mark mulder group online. they talk about baseball a lot. actually, it's a bunch of girls going ga ga over mulder's butt. whatever. :) but hello, were you handing out magnetic calendars at the game?? wtf??

by the way, i woke up yesterday to an earthquake. very strange, it being april fool's day and all. but i actually woke up a few seconds before it happened, sat up, opened my eyes, felt it, looked at the clock to remember the time, and back to sleep i went. very unusual for those who know me cause it takes me forever to open my eyes in the morning. it's a weird animal instinct or somethin. maybe because i love earthquakes so much. :)


You have a mysterious kiss. Your partner never
knows what you're going to come up with next;
this creates great excitement and arousal never
knowing what to expect. And it's sure to end
in a kiss as great as your mystery.

What kind of kiss are you?

Which drug should you be hooked on? [now with pictures]

and now, your moment of zen.

You say you'll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you (all i want is you, u2)

well kiddies, i did it today. i quit my job of 2 weeks. i'm usually not a quitter, and this was a very tough decision for me to make. but i thought about it, and came to the conclusion that if i'm not happy, i need to let them know a.s.a.p. they wanted me to stick it out for 6 more months (ummm, i couldn't handle 6 more minutes!) so i told them that i'd rather not. (they'd have to keep "training" me in all the different databases so it was like, stay forever or go now.) so, prayer time, kiddies!! i hope i can get another one soon. i'm doing a good job today of applying and looking around. :)

i got this really awesome book from amazon.com last week. it's called, "the bad girl's guide to getting what you want." it's hilarious...i recommend it for all girlies out there. it's very well written, and has some things you think about, but don't want to discuss with anyone. like things you'd like to do with those ugly bridesmaid dresses you have in your closet. go out and buy it already!!

my mom was in charge of getting tickets for this talk this summer, and forgot. and they were gone in like 2.5 seconds. it's always been a dream of mine to either meet him or go to a talk. :)

i was reading an article last night about this guy who was eating sushi and thought it was the coolest thing to sake bomb. but he kept talking about it all wrong...like just dumping sake into beer. it's much more than that, my friend. and, i'm pretty sure it's not a *new* thing. this is how we do it.

this site is just too cool. to get in, you have to click on a certain word on the main page, then take a quiz and pass. i sort of did, and you can check out all the stuff by clicking on the link. some people just have too much time. :)

the sharks got screwed the other night. it was 4-3 with like 1 second left, and selanne shoots it and scores?? nope, they said no. this site and this one have me thinking that the officials who called this back have some 'splainin' to do!!

it's all about operation pussy galore.

a few quizzes for you:

i sorta thought i'd get "socialist" on this one

Green - You believe that small economic units
should control the goods, and that the
government should be permissive of
"victimless crimes," respectful of
civil liberties and very strict towards big
business. You also believe in either a
socialist tax structure or more power to local
communities. You think that environmental
policies should be written into law. Your
historical role model is Ralf Nader.

i bet this dude is saying, "horray for helmets!!"

one cool lady.

sorry if this is inappropriate right now. i recieved this email the other day and was laughing out loud. hope you will too. :)

Have you noticed anything fishy about the inspection teams who have arrived in Iraq? They’re all men!!! How in the name of the United Nations does anyone expect men to find Saddam’s stash? We all know that men have a blind spot when it comes to finding things. For crying’ out loud! Men can’t find the dirty clothes hamper. Men can’t find the jar of jelly until it falls out of the cupboard and splatters on the floor.... and these are the people we have sent into Iraq to search for hidden weapons of mass destruction? I keep wondering why groups of mothers weren’t sent in. Mothers can sniff out secrets quicker than a drug dog can find a gram of dope. Mothers can find gin bottles that dads have stashed in the attic beneath the rafters. They can sniff out a diary two rooms and one floor away. They can tell when the lid of a cookie jar has been disturbed and notice when a quarter inch slice has been shaved off a chocolate cake. A mother can smell alcohol on your breath before you get your key in the front door and can smell cigarette smoke from a block away. By examining laundry, a mother knows more about their kids than Sherlock Holmes. And if a mother wants an answer to question, she can read an offender’s eyes quicker than a homicide detective. So... considering the value a mother could bring to an inspection team, why are we sending a bunch of old men who will rely on electronic equipment to scout out hidden threats? My mother would walk in with a wooden soup spoon in one hand, grab Saddam by the ear, give it a good twist and snap, "Young man, do you have any weapons of mass destruction?" And God help him if he tried to lie to her. She’d march him down the street to some secret bunker and shove his nose into a nuclear bomb and say, "Uh, huh, and what do you call this, mister?" Whap! Thump! Whap! Whap! Whap! And she’d lay some stripes across his bare bottom with that soup spoon, then march him home in front of the whole of Baghdad. He’d not only come clean and apologize for lying about it, he’d cut every lawn in Baghdad for free for the whole damn summer!!! Inspectors my ass... You want the job done? Call my mother.

I really want to see you
Really want to be with you
Really want to see you lord

decision time for me. so i have enjoyed working with the people at TMW this past week...but not enjoyed the work. i know that everything i do is not going to be 100% fun or exciting, but NOTHING is as bad as this. i sit there entering numbers for 8 hours. it's pure boredom. this isn't something i'd want to do for a while, and get promoted, cause my boss is doing the same stuff i am. so i'm on the job hunt once again. it's a good thing, i'm sure. i'm just super scared about what's going to happen...can i find anything/etc. part of me feels really selfish about quitting...like i should be happy that i have something that pays me. but i don't think i should be anyone's number punching bi-atch. it's like my 8th grade english teacher used to say, "make your vocation your vacation." i found a few jobs tonight...just got to clean up the ol' resume again and send it off tomorrow. and pray. lots of praying. :)

that's really all that's new with me. i'm tired so i'm gonna hit the hay. but, a pic for you before i go. it'll make you go, "awwwwwww!!" it's a white lion cub!!

nighty night. :)

Rise up this morning
smiled with the rising sun
three little birds
pitch by my door step
singing sweet songs
of melodies pure and true
saying, this is my message to you:
don't worry about a thing (three little birds, bob marley)

yeah, i ordered my tix for jack johnson and ben harper at the greek theatre today...did you? i was afraid that when jack johnson came back to the bay area, it would be a bigger venue than the greek which is where i saw him last. glad to see that isn't the case, because that was such a great concert.

last night my parents went to a silent auction for my cousin's school and got an adam graves signed stick. it's super cool cause it was used in a game on december 14th, a game in which he got a goal. fun times. here is a link to the game, and a picture my bro took with his phone. yes, his phone. so weird.

i'm still not sure what i want to say about this "war" that's going on right now. i don't agree with it 100%, but i don't agree with what protesters are doing, either. the ones in san francisco who are blocking traffic are really effing retarded. you're not coming off very well; you're really just causing headaches for commuters. people are late getting into work because you're dumb. do your protesting where it will make a difference. the people you're screwing are not the people who are in charge of saying it's time to go to war. don't think you're anything close to the lone man standing in front of a tank in tiananmen square, either. i found a great quote that sums up how i think the protesters are thinking: "Think globally, ruin people's day locally."

on a different note, i decided i would be a pen pal with someone stationed overseas right now. i think it could be fun times, and i even get to make a care package. something i'm very good at. :)

here's a fun site. just put your name in and funny stuff appears. like this:
