My friends Leslie and Michelle, along with 2 other girls used to mail each other some crazy stuff when we all moved back to our non-school homes. I remember once, we mailed back and forth a small packet of crackers for, like, 9 months. By the time I had gotten them back again, it was finely packaged cracker dust. I also remember sending Michelle a business sized envelope with tons of dried macaroni inside with a letter that stated: "You're all noodles!" What did I get in return? A melted fudgy pumkin with a note: "You're squidgy". Hmm...

1) If you could have any super power what would it be? Does "keeping off body fat" count as a super power? No? Well, then I'd have to say super strength and flexibility sound pretty cool to have. I know that I def. don't want a super power that at one time may have called for me to be bitten by anything, exposed to anything lethal, or came for a planet where everyone is tall and blonde.
2) Would you use your super power to help any poor schlep that needed it? Would you use it just to help your loved ones? Just for personal gain? Or for PURE EVIL? no, no I'm sorry. My powers could only be used for good.
3) What would your one weakness be? I think using my powers for good would be a weakness. Think about it, someone boo-hooing because their toaster isn't working; I'd get the call. So poor schmoe trips and falls into a sewer; I'd get the call. Maybe I should use my powers for evil.
4) Who would be your arch-nemesis? Why? I'll have to get back to you on that one. I guess I would always be "working against the establishment". Some nameless, faceless group hell bent on making the world suffer 'cause they could never get a date in high school. Damn the man.
5) Flashy spandex costume and alter ego? Or everyday clothes and your own name? I'd have to go with the alter ego, but please....spandex is a privilege, not a right. A right that I do not have.

This just reaffirms what others have also told me: I am a geek. I fly that geek flag proudly--ok, not really.
I was watching BBCAmerica and realized something...Over here when we walk into a white room, it's just that--WHITE. You walk into the same colored room over in the UK and they look at you smugly and delcare that it's "Magnolia".

1. What's the last vivid dream that you remember having? That I was at my aunt's funeral. Only it turned out that I was at the wrong chapel and by the time I got to the right one, everyone was gone. It just pissed me off.
2. Do you have any recurring dreams? Doesn't everyone?
3. What's the scariest nightmare you've ever had? Actually, this is one of my recurring dreams. Whenever things get totally crazy in the waking world, I usually have this whacked out dream about Ronald McDonald breaking into my family's home. He smothers everyone and then tries to smother me, but I end up kicking him in the balls. Then I try to run away, but none of the doors have handles and I can't get away. I usually wake up about that time. See? I told you that it was whacked out. And that's been a recurring dream since I was 7 years old. Maybe I'm anti-clown...I prefer to think that I'm just anti McDonalds.
4. Have you ever written your dreams down or considered it? Why or why not? I do write down my dreams. Most of the time, it's just a source of amusement for me.
5. Have you ever had a lucid dream? What did you do in it? I don't think I've ever had a lucid dream before.

You're more good than evil, but not by much. You've drank straight from the carton of milk in the refrigerator, and maybe kicked the neighbor's cat, but you're still good. Kinda.
The Picture of Dorian Grey kicks ass! I'd never read this book before, and then Dee tells me that she read it. And when she leant it to me, I actually didn't even pick it up for a few days. Once I got past the first 2 chapters, I was hooked! It's a really quick read, so I would recommend it to anyone that's not into lugging around an 80 pound book with tons of symbolism.

I totally agree with everything that James thought about the movie-- except for Boba Fett.
e u g a r p s 11:03:11 AM -- My favorite parts of Episode II: Attack of the Clones:
Jango Fett's seismic blasts Yoda's fight scene, excluding the Neo/Matrix pose Obi-Wan jumping out the window after the probe in the Fifth Element scene planet of Naboo R2-D2
My least favorite parts:
Yoda's Neo from the Matrix pose computer animated Storm Troopers some of Amidala's lines ("I've been dying a little bit every day since you came back . . . because I love you") some of Yoda's lines ("Around the survivors, a perimeter, we must build") most of Anakin's lines ("The men, the women, AND the children") Anakin's ridiculous computer animated hand "the limited number of Jedis" Obi-Wan's "electric" prison cell (sooo SciFi channel) the three monsters (in the Gladiator scene) Boba Fett as a kid? Amidala's stupid clothes
1. What shampoo do you use? Whatever is in the shower.
2. Do you use conditioner? What kind? I used to, but now I use this really cool straightening gel with added conditioner.
3. When was the last time you got your hair cut? About a month ago
4. What styling products do you use? VO5 Straught Hair. This stuff rocks. I have hair that has just enough wave in it to not do anything.
5. What's your worst hair-related experience? when I was in the 4th grade I got my knee-length hair tangled in hot rollers. Instead of waiting for my mom to get home and help me, I cut them out. I've had short hair ever since.

Carson Daly: "Who's your favorite rapper?"
Ed McMahon: "Coolio."
Carson Daly.: "I knew you were going to say that."
Ed McMahon: "He's a nice guy. He's been over to my home several times."
Carson Daly.: "What could you and Coolio be doing at your house?"
Lately, I've been feeling really unmotivated. I have about a hundred thousand things running around inside my head. I want to be a better person. How do you go about changing your whole life? It's pretty scary when you think of it that way. Shit, it's scary to think about changing one part of my life at a time.
p.s. I started that Winning Points Weight Watchers thingie on Friday and I'm ready to eat my own arm for dinner tonight. I hate it. I liked it better when I was working out and walking to work. I was dropping all kinds of weight and not having to limit my intake too much.

I haven't really said much about Conan in past couple of weeks. I think it's because the last few shows haven't been as funny. So in retrospect:
"Look! It's Tai Kwon Do Jesus!" hahahaha.
I seriously need to find a pic of that figurine.

I love the beginning of summer. It means snow cones and really cool dates to places you'd otherwise never go to. Brian took me to watch the airplanes take off. It was kinda cool. I've been there before, but not since 9/11. So when we got there, there was a guy who asked us what we were doing. He even checked the car out. Once he'd pretty much established that we were kids who wanted to see some planes and kiss he directed us to a spot. It's weird, I never thought that what used to be our version on "lookout point" would now have a guy with a semi-automatic gun directing couples to safe makeout spots. Life is weird.
We also stopped at a snow cone shack that serves amaretto snow cones. Yum, yum, yum.
I start back to classes on June 4th. I'm nervous. I haven't been in school for two years. What if I forgot everything that made me an ok student 2 years ago? This is why i hate going back to school. I put a lot of pressure on myself to do well. And I think it's even worse right now, because I feel like I failed at being out in the working world.

The only thing keeping me from coloring my hair a really cool anime-purple is that fact that I've got a college degree. But still, I think it would kick some serious ass.

No Friday Five today, which makes me sad.
Dee called me today and told me that she's decided to get married in Vegas. I haven't been there yet, but she says that if I go to Viva Las Vegas Weddings then I can check out what she wants to do. She said that they have also decided book the package that allows them to sleep in the hotel room with the pink caddie. That's cool. She said that Elvis will be singing 3 songs at her wedding in a red sequin jumpsuit. She also said that for $250 more you can have Priscilla attend the wedding as well. I hate to tell her no to the red polka dot dress she want to be married in, that's just crazy! ;)
I finally got registered for all of my interpreting classes. June 4th I'll start the first leg of my training. I'm actually kinda nervous. Then I think about it and I realize that this is what I want to do, then I feel better. It's been a cycle since I enrolled in the classes. I really think that once the classes start I'll feel more confident. Last night I search around for some more information on interpreting for a living and came across this. Which is totally helpful in every aspect. It even has schools listed, by states, that offer B.A. in Sign Language Interpreting.
The box set The Best of The Doors has been playing on shuffle/repeat mode since about midnight last Sunday. No matter how many times I hear Riders On The Storm I have to hear it again. I'm not sure what's up with that song in particular. Spanish Caravan is the other song that I could just listen to over and over. My Pop Culture prof once told me that you either love or hate The Doors. I think that is totally true. It's kinda like Elvis. You either love or hate 'im. Me, I prefer Elvis post-Jail House Rock but not post Blue Hawaii. Dee says people have the same love or hate feelings toward The Beatles. If that's true, they don't live anywhere near me.

On a totally unrelated event:
On Saturday I was hanging out with Brian. I was too tired to come home, so I slept over. We're both lying in bed when Brian asks me why my bra and panties never matched. I just laughed and went to sleep. The next morning he actually asked me about it again. Do guys not get the fact that matching bra and panty sets only really happen when you have planned sex? Most of the time the matching bra doesn't fit when the matching panty does, or vice versa. I'm telling you, if you forced men to wear bras you'd never have to answer another stupid question about your undergarments.
