Robert and I just signed the lease to our new "Friends apartment"....pretty cool and costly *sigh*. I can't wait to get that deposit back. And man oh man Briarwood better call me. I was trying to think of some nite job, like 8 til whenever but all I can think of is waitressing and I really can't do that. As in *do not have the ability*. Maybe I can be a cook, hehe. I mean, look who Cafe Davanzo's employs and has employed-just kidding guys! I'm going to make a flier tonite about clarinet lessons. woo.
Now I'm back at the lab studying. I think this lab pracitcal will be easier than the fish bc 1) its more than just IDs 2) its easier to tell reptiles and amphibians apart than fishes and 3) i'm actually studying more for this one bc thank goodness, unlike the last 2 I don't have a zillion other things going on. Ow, typing while standing up hurts my wrists. Hello Carpal Tunnel!
xo,
Scarlet

ps. what's going on this weekend? I need stuff to do!

I had an hour and a half interview today! For a LIFEGUARD position! Wow. Well, they also want me to coach the swim team (whoa) so I guess that had a lot to do with seeing if I'm competant and sane (don't worry, I fooled them). So I talked with the director of the place for like an hour+ then the Aquatics Director showed me the pool and stuff but...I'm not really sure if I got the job. I mean, they still have to call my references and she said she'd call me. I'm just so scared to get my hopes up and then have something go wrong. But I'm even willing to work the Friday morning 5:30-10 am (yes AM) shift! ANYTHING. I'll keep you all posted since I'm sure you're curious to know how it turns out, ha. Riiight.
Robert and I sign the lease to the "Friends" pad tomorrow. Why do I call it that you may ask? And I'm sure Robert is. Well, It has a big open area and I've decided it looks like Monica's apt on friends and for that reason alone I plan on making it look like that. Watch out Roberto! You better throw you stuff in there and then leave, hahha, um...kidding. But really, First plan is to get a frame to put around the peephole, or imaginary peephole if necessary. After that I'm not sure but you're all invited over. I can't remember the address because well, I have THE WORST memory ever. And that's such a bad thing seeing as how I have a lab practical on Monday and I have to MEMORIZE a ton of Latin names and crap. Oh these are the times I hate school....along with the other parts like class and tests and homework and stuff. Oh it was funny in the interview that caused me to age a year, I had to say where I "see myself in 5 years" and I really have no idea but the guy used to be a principal and he said, "You know, teaching, grad school, what do you see yourself doing?" Haha, So I made up this *plan* to teach for a few years as I get my masters, most likely in entomology but I'm also considering conducting althought "That's a hard field to get into" hahaha. OK, maybe only funny to me. I should have said, "I plan on marrying and being a housewife" bc, while there is SO nothing wrong with that (in fact it sounds ideal at times) its expected to have some great answer about what you plan for your life and ambitions and crap. That's right, CRAP!
My mom and uncle Eddie come tonite, They better take me out to dinner. If not they're buying me drinks at Sauce. Woohoo, Drunk with mom!

Man, It sucks because my gas goes sooo fast bc I have to restart my car like 429830589209.8 times a day and it just sucks the gas up! And as we all know, gas is expensive. See, I had a full tank Sunday (thanks Dad!) when I left and drove about 90 miles back to RVA and then I've been back and forth to VCU maybe 4 times, and a trip to Va Center Commons area and I am down to having only a quarter of a tank left. I'm distraught over this.
This computer lab is so freaking hot! Trinkle Lab definitely wins over this one in the temperature dept.
I've been playing phone tag with the Fitness Center guy about lifeguarding. It sounds like they really need a swim team coach though. I just have this horrible feeling he's going to say its all for summer=/ So please, ESP, pray and just think good thoughts for me!
You know what is good in the tum tum? Frozen Gogurt!

I don't have much to blog about but I thought I'd take my chance while I have the internet. Yay Genetics Lab! I dissected a snake today. And I made my professor laugh. I bought doritos and vanilla coke, it was good. I found out that my lab report has to be 10 pages single spaced but um, I don't even know what the hypothesis was! I need to go home in a minute, I'm starving (no lunch...details not important) and I have to make a phone call. I hate making calls but I think I've gone over this. Today is Monday, boring. Maybe I'll get mail today...probably not. That's ok, No Mail Is Better Than Bad Mail. Hahaha. I found out some interesting things about the pool today. Apparently the new manager doesn't guard. Which is, well....stupid and ridiculous. This bitch better do an effing amazing job to take away from money I should be making. Oh I'm pretty mad about this. And it seems as though there are only 4 guards and only 2 will work a day. No way, NO WAY! I won't allow this. When you're sitting out there in 100 degrees plus humidity you need longer breaks than 45 minutes....and if it gets crowded and you have to set 2 guards out then its possible to have no breaks. I don't think so. They will be hearing from me.

I was so worried I'd be the one to ruin the surprise. I mean, not like I talk to Lucas much in "real time" but I tend to blog about EVERYTHING (as he said;) and I kept having to make sure I didn't mess up. But Rena did a fabulous job at planning and executing Lucas's Surprise Party, I was very impressed AND I had a good time. It was fun to put faces with the names I've heard for the past couple of years. And I even got called the "Infamous Scarlet", oh wait, Maybe it was something else, Oh well I can't remember but it was fun. I took pictures (in black and white!) so I cant wait to get those back. Rena called me dumb though, booo! Vanessa and I had fun talking to Chris, the drunk 19 year old, and Kim was super nice too. I met some guy from Bealeton which was CRAZY, but then Vanessa overheard him say "This cake sucks" (it did not, it was very good!) and then we noticed him on his *third* piece, mmhmm. But yeah, it was a great time. Rena, remind me to tell you what I realized, I can't say it here. I'ts not a secret or anything.
Lucas, Be sure to let me know what you think of the CD, Honest opinions, ok!? ok.
I have some more stories from the nite but I'm tired of typing. Here are some key words:
Texas
Ireland
Amaretto Sour (for free!)
Safeway

Do we have any Canadians in the hizouse? How about someone from the military....Navy perhaps? Let me know who you are.
So, my bloggin has been lacking lately, nothing of substance. I'm not sure why exactly because some stuff has been going on that would normally inspire a beautifully crafted cryptic message but for some reason they have not been-a-flowin'.
I think I'm going to use April as a new beginning of sorts. Nothing major, I just want to leave behind a little of the "collegeness" and "I'm 21"ness behind. If I've lost you, don't worry because yes, I'm still in college but what I mean by this is that with moving I want to leave behind my dorm room-esque living area and have something more "mature"? A color theme, things that match, hidden storage, etc. I will fail at this attempt in that I will still have my computer that will be connected to the internet as much as possible-Robert, who needs a landline phone? Let's get cable modem! hehe. Now, the "I'm 21"ness comes from the fact that yes, I am in fact 23. Which is actually kind of old, in a way. I mean, my mom had a 3 year old when she was 23, my brother had been in the Navy for almost 3 years when he was 23. It's a very scary thought to remember saying a few years ago, "I'm not getting married before I turn 27" and to now realize that is less than 4 years away. And no, I didn't mean I must be married by that time bc if Ali's predictions are correct I'll be a rockin bachelorette in NYC with my very own "Stedman"! Remember that Friends episode when Rachel turns 30 and she does that "Well, I want to be engaged for a year, year and a half, so I have to meet him....now" or whatever she said. I'm not sure what I'm getting at here. Maybe I should stop rambling.

I think my internet is gone for real this time. I'm quite upset by this. If you're wondering how I'm blogging right now it's because I'm on a VCU comptuer in the Genetics lab. So needless to say my blogs will be few and far between....hahah another "saying". Jules, You're going to have to pick up the slack! Entertain the masses.

Other than that suckiness, oh here's more suckiness: my Ornithology test SUCKED and *someone* took me off as their Friend on Friendster.
Ooops, I have to go look at an apt. Then I'm headed home. Why do I go home so much you might ask? Because there I don't have to make my own crappy food, and there is cable. Oh and I have some stuff to do this weekend.

Lori, Our landlady, is here showing the place to 2 sets of people. I alwys end up being here while she's doing that and she always says, "Scarlet fits the whole world in her room" and today she said, "Scarlet spends her her life in her room". Thanks. I think she's impressed with how much crap I have and how it all fits in here. It's just bc I don't have any drawers or shelves or anything so it all looks kinda of, full. Oh well.

Here's my Horoscope for today:
Transitions are easy. The next thing looks better than the last. They love you here.

I have a full day ahead, look at apt, return stuff to Old Navy, FIND JOB...study for test. I thin I'm forgetting something.

Today was actually a really good day and all because of little stupid things. Let me list them for you (I love lists):
~I got a B on my BioTech test, I honestly thought I was going to get about a 40 on that mofo
~I did not get a ticket for parking in the 2 hour spot and I managed to move it during a 10 minute break...thats fast.
~I got the best iced mocha ever and had some amazing conversation...well, maybe thats exagerating a littler. I said I was addicted before but man, I don't think I'll be able to stay away from Starbucks now. I shall study there tomorrow. Well, depending on his, I mean my schedule.
~Jesse fixed my driver's side car door lock! Now I don't have to reach thru the passenger side everytime. That was maybe the most exciting thing all month. He's awesome.
~Jesse and I compared idiosyncrancies which was a lot of fun...haha...and I love finding out about stuff he did as a teenager now. Hilarious.
~I had green beans for dinner. Green beans for me are like corn on the cob for Reens. Well, I really like creamed corn too. Man, I love me some veggies!
~I successfully called the realtor and went and looked at an apt....believe me, this is exciting bc 1) I hate calling people and 2) I hate meeting with people...not to be confused with "meeting people" which usually happens in a bar or at a party, I love that.
~I played my clarinet....Mmmmm, I *heart* my clarinet, it's beautiful
~My car, I think, is recovering. I filled it up with gas (poor credit card) and all of a sudden it accelerated when requested as opposed to 5 minutes later. It's still cutting out a lot but, I'm so used to that. I really have bad luck with cars, it makes me sad=/

My Bird class is canceled tomorrow then I'm off to look at another apt and job hunting AGAIN! I'm so frustrated with it all though, I'm such a hard worker, they don't know what they're missing. And don't confuse me being lazy about school and stuff like that with how I am at my job. I really wish I had waitress experience...or phone sex skills.

I was in the middle of this post earlier when my computer decided, ALL ON ITS OWN, to restart and I lost it. ANYWAY, I propose a Brad Pitt Movie Marathon. Here are my suggestions, please let me know if you're interested, own any, or have additions:
Thelma and Louise (but due to time constraints we might have to skip the T and L parts)
12 Monkeys (I own this)
Seven (I own this)
Interview with a Vampire- I just realized that when I say this its comes out as "Interview with tha Vampire" so now I don't know if it's "a" or "the", oh well.
Snatch
Fight Club (I own this)
The Mexican
Ocean's 11 (I own this)

I can't think of anymore....Let me know. Hahahahhahahhahaah!

See, The Wed section of my lab is canceled this week, So I feel like mine should be canceled today. But it's not til 2pm and the people i know in class don't get here early so I kind of have to wait til then to see if we have class. How annoying. While waiting though, I'm using the "illegal" computer for non-anatomy activities such as email, wmwc board, and IM. I was going to put one of those cool links that make you IM me, but I didn't feel like finding the code and copying it.
Tonite is Spirits for the big St. Patrick's Day Celebration...I'm excited. I haven't been there in a few weeks and I'm due for a return. Hmm, 25 minutes til class is *supposed* to start. See, it is kind of weird that noone is in here because usually the nerds study and look at specimens while I use the internet. But Una is bringing my notebook I think and I do need that so I have to wait anyway. Come onnnn no classs!

Yeah, yeah yeah....Last nite in Baltimore-woohoo! Let me start at the beginning:
It took me 3 freaking hours to get there (it's normally 1.5 hours) and at one point I was going so slow a bug was actually hanging out on my windshield. Just chillin! I also made friends with some kids in a car when I waved back at them and they got super excited and gave me the thumbs up AND peace sign! So I FINALLY arrived in Baltimore at about 6:30ish and Jules and I went to Koopers and she was totally awesome and bought me dinner and we discussed people and American Idol-Note: This is where Homicide was filmed, rock and roll. Then we went and watched the worst hour of television, Star Search which made me want to hurt myself so I wouldn't have to watch it. Then we went to move my car before it got a ticket because it was in a 2 hour spot but some dickhead cop had been there about 5 minutes before and gave me a freaking ticket!!!! Oh I'm so mad still. ANYWAY, Then we went to Max's and actually ended up staying there all nite despite our bar hopping plans. I had a good time though so it was all good. Julianne's friend Mary who is way cool came with her boyfriend Brett and they ended up dominating the pool table and won about 48530093 times in a row. But while they were playing pool, Jules and I made friends with Andrew, Tie-Guy-Ted, Drunk Guy Dominic, Birthday Boy Chris and also some Air Force guys. Funniest moment was when Jules said, "It's her birthday! Go buy her a drink!" and it totally worked, TWICE! YAY! I also got my picture taken after some random girl was like, "Here, drink this shot so he thinks I drank it" ha. Awesome. But yeah, Good nite, I wish Jules had felt better. We'll have to go out again and maybe or maybe not call Andrew who said he'd buy us drinks, hehe.
Now I'm back in Bealeton and my mom made me clean a bunch of stuff. At least it's not yelling=) Back to Richmond tomorrow....There is much work to be done, *sigh*...

Joy Behar is so cool...And I miss Lisa Ling.

Today I have to go to the dentist, I think it's funny because Ali is jealous I get to see Dr. Swann and she normally is terrified of the dentist. Hehe. Then I'm headed to Baltimore for a nite on the town with Julianne. I'm excited, It's always fun to hang with Jules and especially fun to let lose in a city I don't live in!

Man, I have a horrible headache, I couldnt' sleep very well last nite. Ow. I need to get some Claritin but it's actually kind of expensive and I'm not into paying $$. What a boring blog, I apologize. Everyone should join Friendster because it's fun and addicting and I need more friends! I mean, Life's A Popularity Contest And I Want To Win!

New career ideas:
~Jiffy Lube- Because who doesn't love a chick who does oil changes?
~Cross country truck driver- Because then I could make millions from my book about raising a family in that little cab part of the truck
~House Painter- I could work hard, not think too much, and get high off of fumes all day long
~Kohls Manager- Becuase then I would have an excuse to be a TOTAL JACKASS!
~Electrician's Assistant- Screw in light bulbs all day, "Righty Tighty"

That's all I have for now, Let me know what you think.

The Plan: Richmond tomorrow during the day, Head to Bealeton tomorrow nite, Dentist Friday afternoon, Baltimore Friday Nite where I will go completely wild and Fells Point will never be the same...Then back to Bealeton til Sunday when I will return to lovely Richmond where school awaits.=/ "Spring Break" is going by sooooo quickly! I guess it's just closer to the end of the semester. So yeah, I'm seriously considering not going back to VCU next fall. It will all depend on if I can fit everything I need into my schedule to finish in December but it's going to be tough for that to work out. Crap, that reminds me that I *really* need to go drop something off at Hibbs. Bust.
I'm completely addicted to Friendster.

I have such a weird sleep schedule, If I sleep too late one morning then the next nite is screwed and I can't get to sleep until the wee hours of the morning, it's horrible. Anyway, Last nite while trying to get sleepy I was watching TV and came upon Great Expectations on TMC. I'm sure I'll get some shite about this but, I love that movie. Maybe it's because Gwyneth Paltrow is one of my favorite actresses and Ethan Hawke is dead sexay in that movie or it might be because I'm a sucker for those type of movies but yeah, I enjoy it so.
I think I'm ready to get married and be a kept housewife...Less stress.

I'm headed back to Richmond tomorrow so clear your calenders! I'll probably head out again either Thursday nite or Friday morning though depending on Friday plans. Jules, Have you heard any more about Kegs and Eggs? Matt said he might go. But it's seriously going to depend on the dinero issue=/ My mom's having a yard sale Saturday morning that I might have to partake in to make some rent money. *sigh* But I'd rather not think about that at the moment.
SO, Home is ok. Ali asked why I'm always in a bad mood when I get here, haha. Wait, I was changing the subject so I *wouldn't* talk about crappy things. My mom got me a charm bracelet in PA with a little cowboy boot charm, Awesome. Man, I think all I can do is look forward to 17 March- St. Patrick's Day! Yay!

You are restless and independent and, no matter how close you become to someone, you always remain your own person and there is a part of yourself you cannot share. You are uncompromisingly true to your convictions which must be shared by those close to you.


That is from my free sample love meter report. OOh, And I really like this from my extended one for Aquarius: If you need an appropriate soundtrack for today, try switching radio stations frequently.

Other than that, Happy Spring Break I guess. I'm trying to decide when to go home (Bealeton) because I want to go now so I can get the things my mom bought me in PA and have food other than pasta and have something to do all day. But on the other hand, I have some things going on in RVA I need to be around for.I guess I'll go take care of a few of those things today and see how I feel tonite.
I don't know why I still have the internet, but I'm not complaining.

In classic "Scarlet Fashion" I called from the parking lot to ask which apartment it was. Ha, One time in High School I went to visit Cindy and Rena at their old house which was sort of in the trees and stuff. And it was late and dark and for some reason I doubted myself on which house it was and for me, knocking at the wrong house would have been so horrible. So I called them from the driveway to make sure where I was. They still tease me about that, as they should...and when I called to ask which apt I could hear Rena saying, "Is she calling from the driveway!!?" We did a lot of reminscing but what I think makes our reminscing fun for others (Lucas) is that it's all hilarius! At least it must be amusic to watch us laugh so hard. Or actually, maybe its incredibly boring for others-let me know. Man I had a good time.
So one of my favorite stories is how I actually met Nick and talked to Pat on the phone like a year before we formally met and started hanging out. I love those "small world" moments and I had another one tonite! In high school one year, Rena and I decided we wanted to go watch the District Tennis Tournament and we decided that we had to leave school at 10AM to make it by 4PM (by the way, the school where it was being held is about an hour away, you do the math). And these names might not mean anything to you but whatever...So we got to Loudoun Valley at 11 or so and basically had to find stuff to do for about 10,000 hours! This included going to McDonalds for a long time, buying a magazine and sitting in my car reading it, sneaking into the school to use the bathroom, driving around, trying to decide if we should go to a movie and walking along this path that strangely enough practically ended up on a highway-not too safe if you ask me. (And you did ask me, it's my blog!) And HERE is the exciting part: It turns out that dear Lucas ATTENDED Loudoun Valley High School and was running on THAT day by THAT path. Whoa. How crazy is that? I think he even commented on remembering two hot girls that day. OK, I lied, He didnt *really* say that. But to finish the "Scarlet and Rena Do Something Goofy" story, we eventually saw the tennis team leaving or something and realized that was kinda weird and went into the school office to get the info and we were told that since it had rained they were still finished the other matches at Loudoun COUNTY High School which was about 10 miles away or something. So somehow we left like 6 hours before it was supposed to start and we were late.

The Friday Five, a day late:
1. What was the last song you heard? Something by Ludacris in Johanna's car. I was so dancing.

2. What were the last two movies you saw? Half of IT last nite and Chicago before that I think

3. What were the last three things you purchased? I'm too poor to buy things but these are the last 3 things purchased FOR me: cool shoes, iced vanilla late at starbucks and breakfast at 3rd street (thanks Johanna:)

4. What four things do you need to do this weekend? 1. Party 2. Hang out with Johanna 3. Hang out with Cin, Reens and Lucas tonite 4. Run

5. Who are the last five people you talked to? Robert, Johanna, Mandy, Vanessa, Matt (not counting people at stores)

And your absence will especially be missed tomorrow nite at the partay. Adrienne left me a message today so it's exciting that she might come:) And Jesse and Jobeth said they can come by and their friends Tad and Tracy said maybe but they don't live in the city so I won't hold it against them if they don't. I will be keeping my ill feelings towards those who said they would come and live in the Richmond area but have recently said they "don't think" they can come. Completely lame.
Hmm, our "rowdy" neighbors are being rowdy. As in yelling in the street rowdy. I saw a girl fight tonite in front of Catch 22-the cops were there and everything. Girl fights are the best.
I'm glad I went out tonite to see Jesse and Jobeth at Sauce, I needed to have that social interaction and to be somewhere other than my house or in a classroom taking a test. I have a lot more fun there now that J+J seem to stay on the quieter bar side because we can talk and I don't feel completely alone, haha. I need to make a raver friend perhaps to take there with me. I did get in for free (the guy remembered me, I'm memorable:) and I got a free water so it was a success. More on my *other* online journal that I've succumbed to getting. And I don't want to hear anything about having multiple ones. I have more than one screenname, more than one webpage, more than one email so it's fitting to have more than one online journal.

Short Term Goals:
~Get some webspace and start a real page that will have all of my wonderful pictures on it. Mostly of bands but I've been taking my camera everywhere trying to get some good shots
~Get a career direction, Music? Biology? (ugh) Something else entirely?
~Buy clarinet repertoire music and get good again so that I can then give good lessons and I'll be a "professional" sort of
~Work on my framed picture idea so I can decorate my next room
~Speaking of which, get job at Kohls so I can get a discount, yay!

I was talking to Vanessa earlier about how this week is taking soooo loooonnngggg. Everyday has felt like Thursday. Thank goodness tomorrow IS Thursday and then of course FRIDAY!

And now the debut of the MID-WEEKER RANDOM BLOG! I want all readers (and Jules!) to copy and paste this into the comments and answer these questions. We'll do this each week and it will be tons of fun. Here are the rules:
1) Don't talk about the MID-WEEKER RANDOM BLOG! (haha, jk but Brad Pitt is hot)
2) There is no theme, it is all a result of my stream of consciousness
2.5) There is also no set number of questions, it's all what I'm feeling like doing.
3) Please leave your name, but I guess I'd take no name over no response
4) Any suggestions for questions can be emailed to me, there's a link somewhere on this page for that
5) If you look like Brad Pitt, please send a shirtless picture to above mentioned email address, thanks
Those are all the rules I can think of! yay!

4 March 2003
1. Can you remember the first movie you saw in the theatre? Yes, Honey i Shrunk the Kids and I was so nervous for some reason that I had to go to the bathroom a ton of times and I missed the bee part.
2. What was your first job? Besides babysitting and working as a counseler at Girl Scout camp I was a cashier at NASTY Food Lion (you MUST refer to it with nasty or else its 2 4-letter words!) with Cins and Reens (haha, I'm so bringing you two down with me!)
3. Do you take any medications? Well, I should be taking Clarinex so I don't have allergies but I haven't had any money to get it. But today I sneezed a lot so I think I need to start taking it again because stupid spring is coming
4. Speaking of which, Do you like spring? GAWD NO! I think it's an embarassment to the seasons. It's gross and hot and humid and it rains a lot but it's warm rain and then there's tons of pollen so I'm miserable all the time. And while that also describes summer in a lot of ways, spring forces you to go to school while its gross out and that's just wrong. And if one person comments on the "real world" I'll reveal all of your secrets right here on the internet, don't mess with me:)
5. How was your first MID-WEEKER RANDOM BLOG? Perfection!

It's neither Friday, nor 2001 when this first came out but we all know I love filling out things. I think I'll start a Tuesday Three Or So....Or maybe I should call it the Mid-Weeker because deadlines are no fun:
First, an old Friday Five because I'm bored and *surprise* I don't want to study Genetics...
1. Laying on your back and facing the ceiling, which side of the bed do you sleep on?
The left side, although I've been trying to sleep diagonally bc my feet always hang off and thats no fun. But change is hard.

2. Do you have to have covers (blankets and/or sheets) at all costs, no matter the weather?
I like having a ton of blankets bc I like the weight of them. I used to use a sheet, a blanket, 2 comforters and another blanket during the winter but then I worried it was making me less able to keep myself warm, does that make sense? So now I'm down to a sheet and a comforter, but now I sleep in long sleeves and pants! And one thing I can't stand is when its super hot in my room and it's too uncorfortable to use blankets, bust. One summer at home we didnt' use the AC all summer long, talk about torture!

3. Sleep nekkid or no? Why?
NO, I'm too afraid of someone walking in and my covers will have fallen off.

4. What's under your bed?
Lots of shoes (but not enough:)

5. If you have pets, do you let them sleep with you? Why or why not?
Well, Crispin lives here but he's not allowed on my bed too much bc he makes me sneeze. And he has this bad habit of coming right up to my face and I HATE that.

I'm pretty excited at this moment and hopefully on Wednesday afterrnoon I'll have some much needed and wonderful news! If not, I'll be out slashing tires. Today was weird, I thought I had my genetics lab test today and I went in all stressed and unprepared, then they told me it's Wed, phew. THen I had Ornithology where I daydreamed, BioTech where I was smart bc we did review. Then I spent my hour break using the "for Anatomy use only" computer to talk on IM and then I had Vertebrate lab and I dissected a mud puppy and looked at amphibians. *fun* Best part of the day is that Una is letting me use her genetics workbook! yay! Um, not too much else happening. I have to go study bc I have 2 tests tomorrow, one of Wed and one on Thursday...what the hell? I didn't even think I was taking that many classes!
XO,

I was just about to blog about how I think way too much, about everything. And often while it's happening, haha. I really shouldn't be noticing the music at times like those, hehe. But what can I say, I'm a music dork! And proud of it I might add. I guess my life finally has the soundtrack it's deserved....or maybe, the soundtrack I've always had finally has the life. Hmmm, I need to go think about that.

ps. Yes yes, the MO Party......

I haven't been in my usual blogging mood lately and I'm not sure why. I don't want to disapoint the loyal readers but I also don't want my blogs to be SO BORING. Anyway, As most everyone knows me, Reens and Cynths went to the VISA American Cup yesterday at the Patriot Center thanks to Reens' job! Yay! It was so much fun and we were like a bunch of kids there, so excited and running around. The second we got there Rena's co-worker Brian with the big red shoes told us to get in line to get Dominique Dawes' autograph! And we did! So cool, We kept joking in line that we'd ask her questions like, "Were you mad Kerri Strugg got all of that attention?" "So I'm 23 and 5'9", do I have a chance at being a gymnast?" "Do you know Shannon Miller??" But we got rushed thru the line bc I think Dominique was getting tired but I scanned the autographed picture and I'll post it if I can ever figure out how. The competition actually started at 2:30, unlike the "live" version on NBC. We were right in front of where they race by for the vault and also in front of the floor and by the balance beam. As usual, the three of us made our funny comments about everything and the group of 12 year old girls in front of us kept looking around at us and smiling, but not in that "Oh haha" way, more like "Oh they know nothing about gymnastics, how cute" way. Hmm...Too bad I've been watching gymnastics longer than they've been alive! Oy, scary thought. One thing we quickly noticed was how many 7-12 year old girls there were! I mean, it's obviously expected but the part I thought was funny was they all had their hair up in ponytails and buns like the "real" gymnasts" do...haha. My favorite part was holding up the "10" sign VISA was so kind ot provide. But I had a thought: They rarely get 10s nowadays so it would be better to hand out "9.8" and "9.5" signs, you know, something more attainable. Rena had the funniest idea about the guy who ended up with the "8.5" sign and he'd have to be the one to hold it up when someone messed up. Haha! But yeah, the day was awesome! I hope we get to do it again sometime...Worlds in Anaheim????? I'm so there.

Today, actually this whole weekend so far, has been wonderful. But I don't like my blogging to be rushed so the full update will have to occur later! I really want to play the clarinet but I feel as though the high notes would be a little annoying the neighbors, not to mention roommates! And thanks to Dr. Baker I know play really loud, which is a rgeat thing because for so long I did not. Yeah I am not in the blogging mentality. More later!
XXX,
Scarlet
