I'm a Squid with an Ocean

Dear Pussycat Dolls,


Please go away and/or die. Your songs are crap and you shouldn't rip off Jai Ho like that. Get an original idea. No, just go away, you don't have any friends. And you're all skank dragons.

ex oh,
Natalie


The storm wasn't as bad as they said it was, but there was THUNDER SNOW which was flippin awesome to see. Lightning and thunder during a snow storm is too awesome. I didn't go to class since the roads looked like crap. Moms would be 5 minute drive home from work was more like 10+ and dad's 20 minute drive was more like 45. My class starts at 5:00 and apparently all classes that started after 5:30 were canceled so I don't believe many people showed up since it's super rare to have a class starting on the hour at my school. All in all, I'm guessing 5 inches of snow. The storm slid to our south when the forecast said it would be on top of us (that's what she said) all night, so that's several hours of storm we didn't get! yay! No nine inches of snow! The roads may be back to normal tomorrow!

Lulz note, my brother's school friend is supposed to be flying out of the Green Bay airport to Texas tonight. I wonder if he got here or not because this storm was originally bad ass.

At times the snow was falling an inch an hour and it was actually really dangerous outside. I emailed Diana saying I wouldn't be in class but I didn't hear anything back yet. I'll probably go to school tomorrow to work on homework and stuff since I haven't done so yet. I'm kind of behind in SQL and I still suck ass at JavaScript, but I can do that at home. That's a Sunday project there, flippin JavaScript.

I'm tired before midnight, that's odd...or ood as I almost typed. Is there a start date for Top Gear and/or Torchwood and/or Doctor Who special yet? Just wondering.

Lastly, did anyone else think the Top Chef finale was pure crap? UGH COME ON! *Winner's name* Seriously? NO. I refuse. It's like season 2 all over again where Marcel got robbed. But at least Marcel was in the episode and made a lulz worthy comment: "you want to take a piece of fresh fish, freeze it, then shave it? Whatever not my problem." or something like that and I agree, stupid idea and technique. It's basically putting a fish stick in a blender. MMmmmmm Nummy.


Last thing I swear: I officially became one of the family to Kayla's dog since he 1. didn't attack me when I first entered the house, 2. accompanied me to the couch where he 3. Licked my entire face (and every crevice) then rubbed his body on it. It was great fun especially since I've never had a mammal pet so it was a weird situation.

So my teacher for Flash friended me on facebook. Huh. I accepted it because well yeah. She's a huge dork/geek too (ex today she dressed up as the Doctor and didn't care that I was going to be the only one who got the joke). Brown suit, red tie, converse and everything. It was awesome.

Also: There is only one more episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien. I don't know what I'll do with myself for the 3(?) month absence. Like I've watched this show every weekday for 1+ years and very frequently before that. I don't know how my life will function without a little COB in my life.

Today in class we are starting scripting for Flash and that was so welcome after the fact that I spent over 24 hours scripting previously. Eh....eh! I didn't finish the homework assignment (boo!) but it was difficult to get help when Diana was helping Jon understand the concept of copy and pasting stuff onto new layers....while he was going above and beyond his already over ambitious project that was last weeks assignment because he wasn't happy with it.

I HAD TO TEACH HIM COPY AND PASTE LAST WEEK. SERIOUSLY. Then he couldn't remember how and asked the teacher. He's a nice guy but this is the third class with him and I wish he would get better study habits or get a tutor or something because this is beyond ridiculous. And remembering his work from the Illustrator class, it wasn't all that great.

Even though I don't have class tomorrow, I still have to go to school so I can get my homework done. I wish I had my new computer....I wonder if I can get my dad to transfer some money from my college fund....I'm almost graduated anyway.


Random thing: the other day at work I needed to look up a Foot Locker store in Queens, NY but we (Kat and I) were having trouble finding the one that the customer was talking about, so we just typed in Queens and one of the results was in Cardiff as in Wales. I only bring this up because it was funny to me at the time and today I was watching Last of the Time Lords and when The Doctor, Jack, and Martha are in the plaza talking about how "zomg! the Master is Saxon!" in the background is a Foot Locker. Even though it's supposed to be London it's really filmed in Cardiff so I giggled more today about the whole Foot Locker thing....which no one will find funny.


Is it kind of sad that I'm trying to be as dorky as possible during Flash? Every project sans the first has been fandom related and it seems like Diana and I are trying to almost one up each other week by week. Super fun! Although now that I'm friends with Diana I probably shouldn't be updating facebook during her class...maybe.

And their like you wanna trade cards?
Yeah I wanna trade Cards
But Not my charizard.

You know, I never managed to get myself a charizard. I saw a holo one that my friend got once. He had it in a special hard case and everything. Anyway, I was cleaning my room today and found my pokemon cards which got me thinking: how much are these worth? So I counted them up and made an inventory (zomg 360 cards not including energies) now I just need so see if and where I can sell them. I like how I thought when I was younger these were going to be HUGE collectors items and I would be super rich.

Eh, whatever. I still need several hundred dollars until I can afford my new iMac. I don't get paid for a long time and I think it will be decent, then I got my tax refunds to do! yay for that!

I'm trying to think if I have anything else of "value" I can sell that I don't use. I have a great coat that (sort of) looks like Jacks. Maybe I should sell that since it's huge on me. I want my new computer noooow. Posh Tosh probably needs some sort of repairs but I don't want to pay for that when I can get a new computer. Sorry Tosh.

Talking about saving money, went to the drug store today and bought Iron Man because it was there and cheap, then bought a ped egg because it was there and I wanted to know if it really worked. (It does)

Right! Time to search the internetz and see if I can get anything for these stupid cards that the Japanese made me buy by brainwashing me as a child!

Anyway, worst call of my life today. It was rough. The customer was the store manager and he was being a jerk face bastard and then continued to be one to my supervisor Kat. So if you're going to Milford, CT in the near future, don't go to their Footaction USA. Well, he might not be there for much longer.

Also found out that one of my good work friends got nominated for employee of the month which is awesome! yay Megan!

Jake my other supervisor told me he bought the first Sookie Stackhouse book and that I'm third in line to borrow it. Awesome. Every now and then we quote it: "ain't nothing but hate and fear coming off that cornbread." Loves it.

I'm going to the movies with Kayla tonight, yay! I need to get my JavaScript done before then.

OH AND LUSH TODAY!!! My order came today which makes everything better.

The reason I over slept today is because my alarm clock woke me up much earlier and I just decided to press snooze, but I turned it off. So instead of sleeping for 10 more minutes, I slept for two and a half more hours. Yeah. Oh well, I got here on time.

I also just noticed two errors with my website review project for school. I'm far too lazy to set up Dreamweaver on this computer though. Luckily it's a two second fix so spending five minutes to set this computer up is not exciting to me. I might just ignore one of the errors too.

I don't want to go to class! I want to go home, take a shower, eat some yummy food, and get ready to watch Heroes. Please? Please? I don't want to go to SQL.

Lastly, there's this guy on the other side of the computer lab who I recognize, but I don't know where from. I hope he doesn't know me or comes over to talk to me. And for the inevitable question: no he's not cute. Where do I know him from?

Weirdly, there's a fish tank in the lab full of water and rocks and plastic plants and stuff, but no fish. There's even fish food on the top of the tank! Weird world.


I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE!!! CAN I HAS HEROES NAO??

I have to go to school in 45 minutes. Maybe I should get ready as in get out bed, take a shower, and eat something. I really hope that Karen doesn't keep us late tonight.

I have a cramp in my leg. It been around for I'm guessing...three hours now? It's just worse now. Ugharoahg.

Oh and happy post Christmas shopping extravangza today! It was super awesome, especially some Champs store in I think Georgia that wanted nothing to do with me and a Foot Locker manager who was in the bathroom for 10+ minutes. Excellent times bbs!

Whatever, that's done. I actually get REAL hours next week, and that's probably only because I signed up for holiday hours. Nice.

I really loved Doctor Who yesterday. It was worth it (and I stayed relatively unspoiled!!!) Maui, loves it. (stupid thing I think is funny that no one else knows where it's from)

Presents: the same slippers my mom bought last year that I didn't like and returned for a new pair, cook book from my brother, gift cards for the movies, pants, Beedle the Bard, and AWESOME:: A copy of my grandpa's old joke collection bound in a nice book. The real deal, photocopies of jokes that my cousin found in two boxes under my grandpa's bed when we were cleaning it after he died. They're HILARIOUS!!! It also has two nice pictures of him. I love it. LOVE IT. My cousin and his wife put it together and it's my favorite thing I got this year.

Also, I did get back my white elephant gift. My cousin was sulking after the exchange because he wanted what I got (a 36 pack of AA batteries) and my uncle asked if I would trade, and I did....because I still don't know what I have that runs on AA batteries!!
It was lame though, there was a $10 limit, and my cousin and boyfriend spent $20 together on the collector edition of The Dark Knight, so obviously EVERYONE wanted that. Ugh. Batteries and The Dark Knight? There's no comparison!

Well, Peace out A-Town! I'm still not done knitting mom's present and her b-day is tomorrow. I'll post pics when I'm done.
