My Poor Baby...

Margaret fell off the trapeze and broke her arm really bad. The bones popped through the skin and it was bleeding everywhere. Her hand has hanging at like a 45 degree angle. It looked like someone played with playdoh and made a really shitty hand. It was disgusting. My poor baby girl just spent two days at the hospital having surgery and now she has a huge cast on and has to go back to the hospital to have more surgery. Shes only 7! Shes so sad because she cant swim, finsih swim lessons, or take gymnastics which she has been wanting to do for months. My poor baby girl.

More Criminal at Work Stories

This new guy started at my work a few weeks ago. I dont know his name is like Wally or something. Anyways hes like 50 and he is SOOO creepy. One day I was at Sarah Meyers house swimming with a bunch of people and I called Mike and he was working so we decided to go visit him. While we were up there that new guy kept staring at us. We were both wearing tank tops and shorts. Even when we saw him staring at us he didnt bother to stop. Mike was like "Hey thats really creepy you girls stay away from him". Then another time I was walking to the back to look in a mirror because Triple L pulled some of my hair out of my pony tail so I had to refix it. Anyways I was walking to the back with my hands up to fix my hair and that creepy guy tickled my stomach and grabbed my chest. Um really creepy. So I just walked away. Then tonight he was staring at me. I hope I dont work with him again. Anyways I'm out.

WARNING!!

ok, so i just want to let you all know what happened so that you can learn from my mistake. my wallet was stolen at work. we all just keep our bags in a back room, and somebody went into my purse and stole my wallet. they then took my cash and my debit card and went to several different gas stations. they are racking up a couple hundred dollars since gas stations don't ask for a pin number or id. i had to cancel my debit card, get a new drivers license, notify my boss, and file a police report. there was a labor ready guy working at my work (for those of you who don't know, labor ready is an agency that sends unemployed people to agencies that needs workers). Most likely it was him, but since i didn't see him take it, i can't say that. Luckily, today the police went to my work to talk to my boss, and it turned out that the cleaning guy found my wallet wedged behind a toilet in the mens bathroom. my wallet (which i loved!) is probably ruined. they did find finger prints on the gift cards and all over the wallet, so they are going to keep it as evidence to get the fingerprints. i am going to get fingerprinted and my co-workers will also very likely get fingerprinted. the labor ready guy named mike...well, i don't know what they are going to do. or how they will find him. i have to fill out a huge amount of paper work at the bank for every transaction they made. it's a really big hassle. luckily, i am not accountable for any of it cause my card was stolen, so i will get the money back, and neither my pin number nor my social security number where in my wallet. anyway, i just wanted to warn you all that the world sucks. people are horrible sometimes. don't let your guard down even when you think you are in a safe place. (sorry for the negativity) Take care.
PS- "Howl's Moving Castle" is amazing! Ella and I want to see it again, so next week or so, we will get a group to see it cause Jack will be back. So be warned if you want to see it with us.

Woo Hoo!!!

Come on, Missy, you're slacking.....

monster cookies

hey, guys...or girls rather, i was thinking that on tuesday, we should make my beloved monster cookies...finally. then since many people will be gathered together, we can go out and see "Howl's Moving Castle" afterwards. Anna is coming over at 11 (to my dad's house) and we are going to get her ears pierced. You are more that welcome to join us if you want. Then people can start coming over at like 12:30. We'll have to make a grocery run cause we need like three pounds of peanut butter and a pound of butter and stuff. Then when all is finished with the cookies, we could go to the movies to see "Howl's Moving Castle"...and sneak cookies in with us. Sound fun? Anyway, if you would like to come, a call on my cell phone would be nice, just so you don't end up waiting at my house and we're at the grocery or something. If you can come late or something just let me know. Hope to see you all! Oh, and guys are of course welcome...but we will be baking, so use your discretion. ;)

yay! pride fest 2005!

whee! miryam and i are headed to pride fest 2005. so if you want to come, call me before 1:15. i know this post is late, but oh well. it's in tower grove park, until about 6-ish today. anyways, um, bye.

.

um, so i don't have anything to say right now. just wanted to blog. um, it's hot. and the air you feel outside is what it feels like in my house because we only have air conditioning in my dad's room and the study, and the dining room and the parlor if we turn it on. i'm sleeping in this heat in my third-floor room. when i tell people this, they like to be positive and say, ooh, but that's good because then you can learn to just get used to the heat, whereas i cannot live without central air. but inside, they're thinking, poor bastard, maybe if i just keep talking i won't pity her so much.
and thanks to that big explosion downtown, we can expect even hotter weather for a few days than predicted. i saw an article today about that explosion, and it said "chemicals reported on explosion site" and i'm like, well gee, great reporting, because i'm pretty sure that it was a factory involving the production and such of chemicals so no shit there were chemicals on site. and they call themselves reporters...shameful.
um, anyways, i'm going to bed. for anyone who cares, the ysp show was pretty much shit. although i was entertained by attempting to steal holy water with nick, and then lobbing bits of caramel rice cakes into amanda's hair. a big one stuck and she never knew...hehe. until now. damnit.

For the sake of my profile pic.... 

We're bustin' out! (I felt that we've been lacking in pictures lately, so here we are)

pbs (and 90.7) live!

to all of you (mostly margaret) who were worried or concerned about the possible demise of public television and radio, fear not! the bill to cut funding was defeated! so snaps to those reps/senators who voted against it. i'm very glad to know that i can keep watching arthur, cyberchase (which is about the nerdiest thing to watch but i like the real people...), globetrekker, and pov, as well as listening to car talk, dr. zorba pastor, and it's only a game. now that i've listed some quality programs, i will go to dave's party.

i know you all are very excited

good news everyone! my video camera is fixed! (yes, it's pretty much been broken since much ado). but you know what that means? it means a new installment of "nerinx girls gone wild; summer vacation". so just letting you know that whenever i'm around, it's guaranteed the camera will be rolling, so be prepared. and jeff, if i ever meet you, i'm going to get some killer shots of me beating you with my aluminum softball bat. just so you know.

oh, and as soon as i'm done with editing and such, we'll have a viewing party where i show the first one. and if i have time before you all leave, i'll burn dvd's. or, if you want, it's easier and guaranteed to work with vhs. but whatever.

Oops, my bad.

I may have told some people that a certain person didn't believe in having friends. I was quite mistaken. Disregard my statement and forgive my error (please).

yo "mandy"

so paul and i were planning on going, and then i saw kevin boehm at orientation and he's planning on going with some people, so i guess pauli and i will join up with you and meet them? he said a lot of people from sluh were going, most likely a few we know. i guess i could've just called you, but my hands were already on the keyboard while the phone lies two inches to the left of my hand. you do the math.

sorry missy

i don't know what the hell i was thinking. steph made a comment about blunt, and somehow i mixed you up with her and switched blunt to talent. sorry bout that!

KK!

I don't know if that's how you spell her name, but I need her help. Sarah and Carolyn could you please give me directions and the phone number for her hair salon? My hair is driving me nuts and she always does such a great job with you two. It would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone else hate this weather, or is it just me? I'm at work, thank god it's air conditioned. I was thinking that maybe we bother Stephen Flanagan this weekend- we haven't seen him for a while. Alright, I'm off to play Neopets. Hasta.

ysp thingy

since laura wasn't very specific and not everyone here talks to dave or kevin i'll give you what info i know. it is at seven at the lady of the snows shrine or whatever it's called in belleville. i was planning on going so give me a ring-a-ling if you care to join me.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

I think that everyone needs to know that our own dear Laura Hovis was probably one of the first people ever to join Neopets. She still plays, too. Please congratulate her next time you see her. Thank you for your time.

Ellohay!

John, my husband, Dogberry, says hello to everyone. Also I just figured people would want to know that YSP performance is on Saturday at some shrine in Illinois. Kevin Boehme is going so he will know where it is if anyone wanted to attend I just thought I should let you all know because Hubby has a good part in it (according to him at least) and I wasn't sure if anyone was planning on seeing it or not.
K Bye!

Spirited Away

There are some people who wanted to see the movie Spirited Away before Hayao Miyazaki's new movie Howl's Moving Castle comes out... so we're watching it tonight at my house (Jacquelyn's). Just come whenever, Reba's over here already. And if movies aren't exciting enough for you, maybe the trampoline is. Or cookie dough.

MY PICTURE!

can anyone else see my pciture? cause i cant see it. its not showing up. i need that picture. im almost as obsessed with emmy rossum and phantom of the opera as i am with mike.

I'll give you a cookie.

I'm in the newspaper. Woo hoo. Not a horrid picture, but not a looker. If you can guess why, I'll give you a cookie. Wern-dawg, you do not count.

hey missy!

your man Talent is involved with the channel nine stuff, so check it out. i tried to call myself, and wasn't sure what to do, so i hope you guys figure it out.

EVERYONE READ THIS IF YOU CARE ABOUT KNOWLEDGE. AND ARTHUR AND THE BIG RED DOG NAMED CLIFFORD.

Funding Cuts loom for Public Broadcasting

Public Broadcasting may face funding cuts of up to 45%, $220 million, next year. The House of Representatives will first take up the issue Wednesday, June 22nd. Both local public broadcasting stations, KWMU 90.7 and KETC Channel 9, face significant funding cuts due to the reduction in federal fund.

While both KETC and KWMU both rely upon members for a major portion of their operating budgets, the reduction in federal funds will pose a major challenge for the stations.

Both KETC and KWMU are appealing to their viewers and listeners to contact both Missouri Senators Bond and Talent as well as Missouri Representatives Carnahan, Clay, Akin, Hulshoff and Emerson. Illinois listeners and viewers are asked to contact Senators Durbin and Obama as well as Representatives Shimkus, Costello and Evans.

KETC has a contact list http://www.ketc.org/community/contactofficials.asp , and KWMU has a contact list http://www.kwmu.org/cpbcuts.html.

oh lemay....

someone wrote "poop" in black and red spray paint a couple houses down from mine in the street in front of their house. the street crew was out there today (not only finishing their work that they started in like 2004) but also trying to get that word off of the road. it was very very funny. but then again it could just be hilarious to me becuase i'm on massive painkillers right now.

computer question

so i just bought this computer game, whose nature i shall not divulge lest i seem like more of a geek, and i installed it but it won't play because it "could not find any compatible Direct3D devices with the required capabilities. Make sure you have current drivers for your video card."

so the question is, to anyone (jeff) who is familiar enough with the wily ways of the wires, what do i do? microsoft help sucks.

Important Message From Dave:

MAGISTER MUNDI SUM!

Bwahahahaha. I am the master of Spider Solitaire. In a heroic tale of the struggle against adversity (namely my mother telling me to get off the computer), my hard work, determination, and focus finally culminated, at 1:30 am on the night of the 20th, in victory. ("You won. Would you like to play again?" Hell no!) If anyone else has not yet conquered 4-suit Spider, I advise you to never give up. It only took me 82 tries.

Let's just pretend...

Let's just pretend that one is obsessed with someone she works with. And let's just say that person one is obsessed with is a sexy 21-year-old. Let's just say that one has been obsessed with that person for months and months and has wanted to hook up with him for months and months but always told oneself that nothing would happen. Well let's say that something actually happened between one and that person she works with. And let's just say that one has never been happier in her entire life (one means that quite literally). Well let's just say one heard rumors about that person still having ties with his gf. Not that they are dating but not that they are finished either. Should one give up one's happiness because that person's gf wants to get back with that person?
Thanks for the idea Miryam now I bet no one will have any idea about who I am talking about!
P.S. One got her senior pictures as well if anyone would like some let me know...

Back from Mizzou!

Oh my god, I loved Mizzou, and I'm going to have so much fun there. Nora Ryan, Lauren Bolin and Katie Lonsway (who now wants to go by Kaitlin cuz she's sick of being one of a kabajillion Katies). Anyway, I also have my senior pictures (finally) and if anyone wants one just tell me. I have nothing else to say.Ciao.

wisdom teeth, wisdom teeth, go away!

so tomorrow i get my wisdom teeth out
i was pretty freaked out but i'm thinking it can't be much worse than what else i've done this summer, right?
and reba called to make me feel all better
but i went to the dentist today to get x-rays and has anyone else ever been freaked out by those machines?
i mean they go around your head and you have to bite down on something and make your head bend in a weird way and then line your nose up with some light... i despise dentists and all that go with it
i guess getting the x-ray this morning was rather funny though b/c my hair got stuck in the machine as it went around my head... if you can picture that... it is rather amusing
anyway, wish me luck tomorrow
i'm pretty freaked out but i know that alot of you have had this done so i will live...

62,000

um, right, so that's how many people did the komen race for the cure. and i was one of them! me and my sissy. i was all set to do the 5k run/walk, but my sister was like, ooh i want to do the 1 mile, i'm so tired and hungry, blah blah blah.....i was also tired and hungry. so i gave in. needless to say, i'm glad i did, because we ended up leaving at 9:30 instead of like, 11:00, so we went shopping and got lunch! and now i have a NEW PAIR OF JEANS. and i love them. like, i'm in love with them! angela, they're the same ones you have. i didn't really like them at the store, and then i saw you wearing them and they looked so good, so i got some too. and i love em! anyways, i'm going to use the bathroom now, and then make some phone calls.

Let's just pretend......

Let us say that one is on one's roof with one's boyfriend, and one is making out with said boyfriend, who unfortunately has a curfew. How does one keep track of one's time when forty minutes seem like three? Does one check one's watch every two minutes? Does one set one's alarm? And how does one not feel like a shitface when one's boyfriend is late for curfew? Ah, the trouble of teendom.......

Introducing the Marker of this Week!

Amanda

i like amanda because she's always willing to share her pool and big screen tv. my fondest memory of her is sitting in busch stadium at a cards game (well, duh) and filling out 70 of those all-star ballots. good times. also good times, spring break. "these pictures aren't going to leave the room, are they?" oh amanda. you were one of the first friends at nerinx i made. and many bruises, copied homework, unreturned phonecalls, and embarassing photos later, it's good to know we're still friends.

things i've learned from the lovely oakville dairy queen

so today was my first day back at work in about a month... i know i know i'm lazy but i only work weekends and throw in graduation and surgery and whoa! a month goees by... anywho, there were some things that i saw today that i learned from that i've decided to share with all of you
1. check the vaccuum bag before you vaccuum, because if you do vaccuum an entire dq and then check on the bag it is guaranteed to explode not only in your face but all over the clean ground that you now have to vaccuum again
2. when little old ladies come in and want a blizzard don't assume they want the senior discount, it tends to make them mad that you think they are old
3. you must be one sad, bored person to carve a word into a dq counter, it's even funnier when the word you scratched into our counter is dairyqueen, thanks to whoever did that, free ads in our own place is awesome
4. when you try to have fun and change a sign that says 1/4 burger 2.79 to 14lb burger 27.90, customers are sure to complain that dq has high prices
5. if you are 65 and walk into a dq ever again WEARING A TUBE TOP, i think next time i'll just have to pass out in front of you
so even though it's fast food and the people are crazy and i work with drug addicts and people over the age of 50 oh! and someone who went to school with kristen yochum and can't stop talking about her, it's not too bad.. after all i did learn valuable life lessons.

SHELLERS!!

Michelle and Grace are leaving for camp tomorrow. She won't be back for two weeks. What the hell? What am I supposed to do for fun now? No seriously I'm probably gonna cry. I couldn't even bear her being gone for like five days at the cabin. And now shes leaving for two weeks. Well she will come back over the weekend I guess. As much as I will miss Shelly nothing can bring down my good mood. Abso-fuckin-lutely nothing can. And also I get to work with Mike tomorrow, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday and hes probably gonna give me rides home every time. WOOHOO! But I will still miss my little Shapoopi a ton.
K BYE
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
sorry that me doing the girly high pitch squeaking sound due my stellar good mood. had to let it out and where else but the blog?

wisdom teeth removal= cruel and unusual punishment

ok, so besides the fact that your mouth fucking hurts because there are holes in it where teeth used to be, they also stitch up those holes with stitches. oh, yeah, and the stitches are attached to your cheek. it hurts to smile, yawn, talk, or chew. the farthest i can open my mouth isn't wide enough to fit a finger. yeah, that's right, sticking a spoon or finger in my mouth hurts. besides all of this pain and the suckiness of being on a liquid only diet because food actually fitting my mouth and chewing just isn't possible, i can't drive or leave my house. the pain pills make me tired and dizzy and made me throw up because apparrently jello isn't sufficient enough food for a full stomach; thus, i can not drive due to the dizziness and tiredness...oh yeah, and the parents. oh, oh, and if you attempt to talk, chew, smile, or yawn, your cheeks swell to an even more unusual size. i feel like the martin short character who interviews celebrities and is really fat. yeah, i have his cheeks. on top of all of this loveliness, guess whose parents took her to get a family portrait today. oh, yeah, that's me. i look so great too. (note: this last comment is dripping in sarcasm.) i would like to really thank the few visitors and callers i have had (jack, anna, margaret, angela, and dave) because i really would have lost it without you guys. oops, it's time for another pain pill, guess i'll go suck down some broth. yum, can't wait.

vote for me please!

ok, all, remember how i wore duct tape to prom? well, it's time to show your support by voting for my and dave king's prom outfits! so go to this website:

www.ducktapeclub.com/contests/prom

or...

www.stuckatprom.com

and go to 2005 entries, page 15 (or the missouri page is fine) and vote for us! we are number 3583! thanks so much! really appreciated!

is it really my cats or my parents that are crazy?

quick update on the mental status of my cats-

they went to the vet today and were "diagnosed" with anxiety. so my vet (who is a major hippie) has them doing all sorts of herbal therapy and such, and also taking medication. yes, my cats are on anti-depressants. it's only a matter of time before my dog gets ritalin. okay, so i'm usually an advocate for medication for mental illnesses, but isn't this going a little too far? okay, a lot too far?

i hate glitter

i have a sincere dislike towards graduation thank you cards
i don't like writing them
i don't like getting them
and i know of very few people who find a joy in them
seriously, you write down thanks for the crap. end of story
and maybe i'm just mad at graduation cards b/c my mother thought
it would be cute to get cards with glitter on them
so now there is glitter everywhere!
and i guess that it doesn't help that my little brother is working
on some boy scout project that involves a hammer and water
there are buckets of water everywhere and he won't stop hammering!
oh well... i'm done ranting
i guess i'll just go have some of my lactose-free ice cream now...

When do fish sleep?

Hovis, the new pic is for you. I am very sad that I can no longer find the old pic of the fugly lady that I had, so this one will have to do.

Let the licking continue.

Hovis and I were playing Truth or Dare at Pedro's house with four guys and three other girls and it was guys vs. girls. The guys dared us to lick each other, and the other girls were all giddy and "ew gross", but Hovis and I were just like, "Oh, k." So she licked me, and I licked her twice, and all the guys were like, "Damn, that's hot". Is it weird that we are so comfortable with that? I mean, I know our group is freaky horny, but are we really all that odd?

eighteen

Woo-hoo. Its my birthday. Cut the cake and let's eat some more. My mom's like, "that's it I'm done being your mom, yea." Although I did get breakfast in bed (yummy), so I guess it was mom's last stand. Unfortunately, however, this means that I have no more excuses about getting a job (you have to be 18 to work at bookstores). I hate money.

missy- now we're twins!

ok, so today i broke down and bought an ipod.... and i'm alittle too obsessed with it right now... but it's little and blue and all things in life that are little and blue are good... (alot like this font)

can i get a what what for sleep?

so i had my orientation monday and tuesday for those of you who didn't know. (thats right, i was out of town and you didn't even realize it.) the first day was pretty much a shit day where we have all these "formal sessions" (their wording) that i didn't need to pay attention to. the second day was the day we registered for classes. my meeting was first so i didn't get a class before ten o'clock in the morning. i'm so happy. unfortunately though, i'm too smart for my own good b/c i placed in a french class that mostly upperclassmen take so it was already full. so come 2nd semester i'm going to get the class and then fail due to lack of memory. so all you who are taking french 1st sememster are going to have to help me over break to brush up on my french skills. (i'm talking to you nicole. that means you better fucking take it. love ya bunches!)

Tell me.

Alright, I need opinions. Do we like the new pic on my profile? Or was the fugly lady better?

Well I Think This Is Funny

so last night i was working with sarah meyer. well at my work we have five larrys and two with the same last name because they are father and son. i call them ls1 and ls2. i also call the younger one scout. that had nothing to do with the story sorry.

so sarah is deathly afraid of clowns. and in rental we have a balloon inflater that has a gigantic clowns head on it to make it look cool or something. we always have fun with sarah...ls1 usually puts it over his head and walks up to sarah. its funny.

well last night we finally decided it was time to pull operate fsmo. freak sarah meyer out. lame name...it was larry lands idea. so i threw my water bottle at her and told her to go fill it up. while she was filling it up i ran over to her register and snatched her keys. then i told her i had to go give something to my manager. i snuck in the back and handed the keys off to scout. then scout and jason and larry land took the clown and put it in her car. i distracted sarah while they took the clown head by making up some bullshit story.

so then the next step was to get the keys back in her purse. this was difficult because she wouldnt go fill my water bottle up again. i finally convinced her too but the problem is she can see me from where the drinking fountain is. she was giving me dirty looks the entire time so i had to wait til her back was turned get on my hands and knees and crawl to her register so she wouldnt see me putting her keys back. good thing there were no customers...that would have been awkward.

well since we are cashiers we have to stay about ten minutes longer than everyone else and count down our drawers. so the next step was to pass the word on to everyone in the store to hide behind a fountain outside or in the greenhouse outside so everyone would be there to witness the fun. she was giving me a ride home and so i delayed her a little because i saw some people were not hidden yet. i was like "lets go get ice cream" and then we fought over who would pay. she ended up paying by the way beacuse it turns out i have no money...mom bounced my account...again. anyways we walk outside and we get to her car. and she screams bloody murder. it was the funniest thing. and everyone pops out lauging at her. they actually buckled the clown head in and positioned it so that the head was peering out the drivers side window.

scout originally wanted to hide in her car with this clown suit that we have on and chase her with a chainsaw. but we scratched that because she would probably piss her pants or something and we only wanted to be kinda mean.

anyways sorry that was so long. i thought it was funny. im sure no one else will but you know thats how it always is with me.

Keen!! Ok - so I was obsessed with Commander Keen when I was little - we had keen 1-5. Keen was a kick ass video game about a kid who builds a space ship and goes to beat up aliens. It's awesome. Anyway - this is one of the things you encounter. Its called a Dopefish. Its the second stupidest thing that exists. All it does is swim and burp, oh and if you try and swim by it - it will try and eat you. AWESOME! hehehehe - ok i am done. These pictures show it swimming, eating, swimming, and burping.  

stuff

alright, for anyone who has ever expressed interest in seeing me dance, this is your first and last opportunity. i have dress rehearsal today. i'm performing at 4:45ish and 6:45ish. the first is a solo and the second is a massive group piece. i don't know if it's worth your time. maybe i'll just show you the video. anyway, it's at sluh. that's all.

on another note, i'd just thought i share the fact that my parents have officially gone of the deep end. my cat has been a little skittish ever since we got the dog, and seeing how we paid $250 for this pure-breed demon, my mom is worried. so she's sending the cat to a "pet specialist". a shrink. a cat shrink. wow. now all we need is the fish to see someone and then the entire family can be in therapy...

mushy feel good read

(so i decided that i need a color and a font) i was working tonight (i could complain and bitch legitimately, but i will refrain) with a girl i went to grade school with. in 7th and 8th i remember her being really popular and such, so when i re-connected with her tonight, i was intimidated. but then we started talking about high school and such and she revealed to me that she really didn't like high school. she said she probably won't come back to st. louis in the summer breaks of college because she didn't have a core group of friends to come back to. then she asked me if i did.

emotional pause

so i just wanted to say thanks guys. i may not be 110 pounds, blonde, making $50 in tips a night at a drive thru, perfect teeth, miss popular in 8th grade, but at least i got you. alright, mushy being done...

after a four year drought, i'm back on aim. go to my profile if you want it. and an immediate $50 to anyone who knows the reference without having to look it up. and while you're on my profile, check out my audio. (yeah faramir)

ah! i don't like pain

yeah, so on wednesday, i am getting all four of my impacted wisdom teeth taken out. bleh! i really, really hate the dentist, the orthodontist, and all other things to do with teeth and mouth things. i couldn't even pull my own teeth out when i was little because the snapping of tendons was too gross...it gives me goosebumps to think about. so any of you out there who have survived this and have some encouragement or advice, that'd be cool. visitors are also very, very welcome at my dad's house after my surgury. so is chocolate pudding or ice cream or snow cones. i'll apparently be pretty out of it with drugs on wednesday and sleeping a lot, but you can come any time after my surgury on wednesday. also, as soon as i regain my chewing abilities, i am going to have a monster cookie party. i was going to do it before my surgury, but that would be hell to have monster cookies around, and not be able to eat them. so i'm going to postpone it a little bit. i'll keep you all posted.

Marker of the Week!

Introducing the Marker of this Week!

Steph
Okay, so here's the deal. Since we all love our friends so much (see posts "I Love Anna Werner" and "I Love Ella") I and a few others decided to start a Marker of the Week, where we just gush about how much we love the selected person. This will also help to take back our blog. So, Steph is our first own. Let the compliments begin!

gotta make a new post so jeff the jerk won't reach his comment prediction

if you haven't read the recent comments on the "missy's job sucks" post, don't bother. you'd be better off scooping out your eyes with melon ballers. just be sure to wear gloves so you don't get sticky.

this is a post directed to no one specific, just to the universe. i would like to take this time to share some basic grammar rules with everyone. just follow along, please.
note the differences:
wear as in "i wear clothes"
where as in "where is the respect?"
we're (contraction for we are)- we're supposed to be nice
were as in "they were stupid"
again, differences:
there as in "your blog is over there"
their as in "it's their blog so back off asshole"
they're (contraction for they are)- they are going to block your sorry ass and then all you will have is your own "beautiful daydream"

ah. done. i hope you learned something.

Partay

So mike threw a huge party last night. he said he called me and invited me but i was out of town. isnt that the most frustrating thing ever? everytime ig et the opportunity to hang out with him something goes wrong. it blows. anyways he had this party and he got soo pissed at his girlfriend. he said shes not gonna be seeing him for a while. maybe that means they will break up! and i was the only girl from the store that mike called...wait except that goddamn whore bitch katie who works with me. wait im sorry she doesnt work. shes assigned to work in the flowers. but she comes in the store...clocks in...and hits on mike and some of the other guys all day. in fact today she didnt even have to come into the store because it rained. all she does is water. and it rained. so why did she come in? to get paid to hit on the hot boys. anyways she was invited but thats it. isnt that exciting? he said i HAVE to be at the next party. yesssssssss.

Yay.

I am officially ungrounded from the Internet. I know you are all extremely thrilled. Woot. Woot.

ring pops!

ok i just have to have to all share in my excitement in the fact that my mom just came home with a box of ring pops.... i'm slightly obsessed with these things and they are awesome for those of us who are lactose intolerant.. anywho, yes.. you all got to share in that excitement... woohoo

Ella Huelman

Ok so today Shelly was convinced she had dimples. I was like "You goddam idiot you dont have dimples get over it". That made me thnk of Ella. I was like...man I really like Ella. Not only is she really pretty but shes cute on top of it. Everyone else is either cute or pretty. Or neither. But Ella is both...how the hell does she do that? It cause of her dimples. I was like "Michlle I really like Ella. Shes cute and pretty and shes got one of the best personalities." Michelle was still pissed I called her an idiot so she told me to shut the hell up.

you all get to be subjected to my rants because my family is sick of listening

agh. i hate jobs. the stupid frozen custard factory cancelled me thursday because it was raining, and now someone called to say that i don't have to come in at 6:15 but could i call at 7:30 to see if they needed the help. sure, why the hell not. it's not like i have a life (okay, three months ago that would've been true- but not now! i have three graduation parties and shakespeare in the park!). and then, if i do get called in, i'll be standing around for almost four hours doing all the grunt work and get paid minimum. agh. and i won't be able to work for the next week because i have ballet rehearsals for my upcoming recital (if you want to come to dress rehearsal, lemme know) which is annoying because right now ballet is the only thing that keeps me sane and i'm pretty sure this job is driving me insane even though i've already worked one shift. and, according to my mom, i can't quit until i find another job. any suggestions? other than burning the frozen custard factory down?

I love Anna Werner

Okay, so Wednesday night Anna and I went to this lady's house for a Mary Kay thingy. It was stoopit. But later that night we picked up Amanda and went to Taco Bell, and we saw this raging bull-dyke, so of course I said dyyyyyyyyyyyke. And I'm not homophobic in the slightest, it's just a description, so off my back you people. Anyway, Anna leans over and pats my arm and says "Keegan, she can be a dyke if she wants to!" I nearly pissed my pants laughing so hard. And that is yet another reason why I love Anna Werner. The end.

the eigth sign of the apocalypse

break out those bomb shelters. cover your heads and run around crazily. say good bye to your loved ones. the world is coming to an end. i, melissa annette ford, on this date of 10 june 2005, with free will and being sound of mind, have gotten a cell phone. ugh. i know. i was forced into it though. seriously. my sister got a new phone so we got one free and then it's like 10 bucks to add someone to our family plan, and i need a phone for college, so this was basically shoved down my throat. if you're lucky, i may give you my number, but (in a stroke of genius) i realized publishing it online would be kinda stupid. so yeah, ask me if you want. grrr.

I was going to post my prom picture, but i'm awfully new to this whole posting picture thing and i don't think it will let me post that picture. so here's another loverly shot of moi, mrm, and keegan. 

umm... steph?

hey steph, i don't know if this is somehow related to your aim getting wiped out, but your screen name has been popping up at random with the message "nerxchick05: rofl you gotta see this (Link: http://fun4friends.org/main.php?selection=dizzawg.wmv)http://media.funandgames.net/videos/dizzawg.wmv". i didn't think much of it the first time it happened, but after the 20th it started to strike me as slightly strange... just thought i should post it, considering if it has happened to me, i am sure it has happened to a lot of people. hope you are feeling better.

funny funny moment i'd like to share

okay, so at dance last night we had a little party for all the departing seniors and we had cake. and we had lots of cake, so some of the seniors took some pieces home. so i get home carrying a plate and i walk into the living room where my brother (yes, my "hot" brother) is lounging.
me: you want this?
him: what is it?
me: cake
him: cake? i love cake.

greatest moment of the week.

anna you rock.

also of note, my mikee bruise has grown to a lovely light purple and as soon as it turns green i'm taking a picture and posting it. tackle football is fun, except the day after.

hump day

ok when i first heard this expression, i thought that it meant hump as in pelvic thrusting. i was quite disappointed to learn the actual meaning of the phrase. like when i found out about the whole santa thing. its only wednesday!!!!! arrrrrrrggggggggg. well now it is thursday but still. it felt like a friday at least. oh and i saw napoleon dynomite and it wasnt all that great. when i was done i was like wow that killed some time and lowered my IQ 10 points. the only good part was the dancing. but yeah anyways... im pooped. babysitting 4 days a week for a total of about 28 hours a week with little kids. it doesnt sound like much but they are wearing me out. not to mention that im getting about 4 or 5 hours asleep on average each night. lol all my own fault though and im enjoying it. so la la la

"hey mickey you're so fine you're so fine you blow my mind. hey mickey hey mickey" ~ wow that was random

fabulous picture

hey, anyone i know have a scanner? which i can use to, you know, scan a picture? i need to scan said picture by tomorrow or else i shall start to panic, and if you've ever seen the video game with the japanese girl who panics then gets KILLED by a guy with an f*ing MALLET, you know that panicking (?) is not a good thing.

by the way, sorry to disappoint anyone who thought that this post would actually contain a "fabulous picture." if i find a scanner, the next one will.

guess the freak what

i am at the science center writing this. i came here with paul and his lil sis and lil cousin (and my flip flop broke--again--so i'm walking around with one shoe on in this place) and they have these computers set up so i came on and here i am, writing this. i guess it's not all that exciting, but still. um, yea, i'm going to go play now.

Guess who's back...back again....

Sorry, that was the first song lyric that popped into my head when I got to this page. So I got my information for Mizzou- wanna know some weird shit? I got accepted into a learning community, Culture and Society (woo hoo!) but unfortunately my room mate is from St. Louis. That's what my mom told me over the phone when I was in DC. So I get home, look at my mail, and guess who my roommate is? CATHERINE GAMBARO. How bizarre is that? Not that I dont' love the girl, she's a blast and cute as all hell, but isn't that strange that I was hoping to get someone from a different state for my roommate, but I got someone from my own high school? Bizarro. Here's some random information that none of you will care about but I'm posting anyway, my Mizzou mailing address is:

Keegan Kelley

111A Stafford

913 Hitt Street

Columbia, MO 65201-5294

That's so y'all can send me post cards when you go elsewhere. I also received my report card, and for all of you who are wondering, yes I really truly did graduate, I didn't get an empty envelope. Woo hoo! HOLY FUCKING SHIT, I GOT A "B" ON MY PSYCHOLOGY EXAM. And no "D"s, so I'm not grounded. Woo! Way to be an underachiever, Keegan, we're proud of you. Haha. Oh god. And guess what? Apparently I have an accent, as does Nora. That's what the native DCers say. Nora said that St. Louis people are just devoid of an accent, so it sounds strange to others, of course with the exception of waRsh, farty-far,etc. But I think she's right. And just to piss Alison off, I said y'all as often as I could to sound like a hick. I'm such an asshole. Haha, alrighty I"m going to bed now. See y'all later.

this week

ok so i'm finally getting better from surgery and i'm not so much under house arrest anymore!!! anywho, i'm not sure of who's in town or not anymore so i don't know who to call... but is there anything going on this week?

tonight i'm gonna give you all my love!!--in the backseat--bubble, pop, electric! uh-oh! in the backseat...gonna speed it down and slow it up!!

um, so i just saw sisterhood of the traveling pants with miryam and jac. it was pretty cool. i liked the music, liked the jeans. i need some new jeans, speaking of which.
so i've been thinkin. college always seemed exciting to me and stuff, seeing new places, meeting new people, and recently it's become a lot scarier. i think it's because everything around me is changing, but i'm still in the same place, you know? like, i'll be going to all the places (well, almost all) around st. louis that i went to with everyone these past years, and suddenly i'll be doing it with new people. or by myself. quite possibly the lattter. and it's weird, and exciting, and terrifying all at once and even though i'm excited for slu, i still sort of wish i was going to a new scene, if only to have some change that i have more control over. i guess i used to have control over it. i wish i'd worked harder in school. but it's just that everything is changing, but i'm still in the same place i always have been. i guess i'm sort of jealous of everyone who's leaving, even if most of you are going to a place that's about as entertaining as wood pulp (no offense, but i've heard most of you say the same thing (not exactly in those words)).
i've also been thinking a lot about death. my mortality is on my mind more and more, especially when i'm in cars. i keep wondering when i'm going to die. like, what will i be doing when it happens? will it last a long time? or i wonder what i just will have done, and if it was something i was happy about doing. and then i think about when people say, i'm going to live this day like it was my last! what a load of crap. cause you'll be expecting too much to happen, and i would just end up disappointed if i had had a really horrible day or something, or didn't do something cause i was scared and then i'll think, so what if i die tonight or tomorrow, i just wasted my last day without even knowing it. and then i'll just get disappointed.
i don't know, this has just been on my mind for the past few days. i just felt like writing it down. and i hate to journal, so this was the next best place.

blah

ok.. so brother decided to mess around with our aim and now its gone.. all the names are gone... so now i have a new one so be sure to get rid of all the other names you may have associated with stephanie in years past b/c the only one i have now is:
corporatedash
enjoy!

Next Blog

Ok, so I am at work, and extremely bored. I teach two classes and then i have an hour break. It is an hour because there is a cardio class that I can't teach. Sometimes I have random secretary like stuff I have to do, but usually I just sit around and read Us Weekly. Yes, that is right, I have the scoop on many of the hottest stars! (gag me). Anyway, so this week's issue wasn't very interesting and I read through it quickly. After that I decided to go on the computer and check my email and the blogs. Unfortunately for me there were no new posts so I had nothing new to read. Blah. So I decided to click on the "next blog" button. This is a funny little button (located in the top right corner for those who are unawares) which takes you to a random blog of its choosing. I was hoping for some funky, interesting blog. Instead i get this... http://mesothelioma2.blogspot.com/
Which is a question answer page about mesothelioma. I took one look and pressed next blog yet again, hoping for something a little more exciting.
http://bangxscene.blogspot.com/
appeared on the screen. This kid is.... interesting. He just started blogging. Isn't that cute? hehe.
So then i got bored and got off. yep. gotta go now. almost time for me to go back to work.

more parties.. woohoo

Stephanie's Graduation Party

Sunday, June 12th

starts at 2:00 but family will be there until 6:00(ish) so you can come whenever but after 6:00 we are going to open up the hot tub and replenish the dip and basically just have more room without family around

its at my house: 2068 Telford Dr. 63125

directions: 270S to Telegraph exit left, stay on Telegraph (even as it veers left, when you see a Walgreens on your right and you pass Jefferson Barracks Rd. get in the left turn lane to stay on Telegraph) make a left onto Windsor Hill and then a right onto Telford and I'm the first house on the right

bring anyone you want to
and katie if you still want to bring your games go for it we have a tv waiting for you

i guess that's it...

my rant off of missy's rant

things that are cool:
-colorful socks
-sierra mist
-frozen kool-aid
-flowers (but now they are all dead.. sad... carolyn don't come by.. lots of dead flowers reside at my house right now)
-boys who drive down telegraph late at night who kinda sorta have "the hair" but you pity them for trying but in your trying to pity them you kinda start to think they are cute and then you realize how stupid you are for driving down telegraph in lemay at 11.30 at night and it makes you sad

things that are not cool:
-the fact that my gallbladder is now out but it is still getting its revenge on my from its grave
-car accidents that happen in front of your house (seriously.. these people were going like 20 and then whole side of their car is gone and what did they hit? not a clue.. maybe its that damn air again)
-14 year old brothers who think that they are the shit b/c they are going to high school next year.. oh yeah.. i'm sorry i forgot to bow down and steve just walked by... oh damn

things

things that are cool:
- working (meaning putting m&m's in ice cream- sorry, frozen custard) and getting paid (yes, minimum wage, but at least it's not your daddy handing you a twenty to go to the movies)
- taco bell, now that the tomato pickers thing has been settled
- going on to other people's blogs that you don't know and seeing a post that specifically says hi to you or seeing your blog linked (yes, i'm just that cool- by the way, kylester or fool for jesus, how's it going?)

things that are not cool:
- being stopped by a cop for him to tell you your tail light is out (yes, okay officer. yes, i will fix that immediately. thank you. now, if you could just get your defilbulator and restart my heart, i can go on my way....)
- summer in st. louis

I know you're not busy Sunday.

Woot woot. More parties.

Miryam's house 3832 Botanical 63110
Sunday, June 5 2:18-6:14 (you can come on your way to Anna's)

Come. And bring all your friends. Yes, I mean every single one.

Funny

Hey remember that one time we went ultimate sledding? That was the first time I met Tom and Nick Susi. And I cut my head up and Mikey cut his chin up? And we stole that kids sled and broke it. And remember how I called Obtuse and I was like "Hi, I'm Laura Hovis. You don't know who I am but I was wondering if you wanted to go sledding?" Good times.

Steph's visitor board.  

We straightened Nick's hair at the loser of the year party. hehehe  

i hate you, go away. (not really)

i just spent the last 3 hours of my life reading the last month of ramblings. i think you all suck. a lot. except the following: tom, nick, ella, and anna. you are the reasons i continued to read instead of bashing my laptop on my head. now, time to stop my bitching. is there anyone besides nicole and carolyn who is going to catie whelan's party that would like to party hop with us? the more the merrier(sp?). ummm, seeing as it's 3:40 in the morning i think i'll head off to bead. good morning to all!

i challenge you

wow... i just spent exactly 12 hours watching tv... i am so lazy.. but then i decided to take my laziness and make it a challenge... so i challenge anyone to beat 12 continous hours of television (and yes i know i have an advantage due to the fact that i can't really move due to surgery.... but get over it) anywho, it's on!

Tingly, tingly tingly!

You know that tingly feeling you get when someone walks in and smiles at you? And you know you've got a crush on them, and it just intensifies it? That's another reason why I love working at the library. There are so many guys that walk in that make me go all tingly. God, I'm such a girl. What are you gonna do? Absolutely nothing. Now I"m bored and have nothing to do. I've captioned all of my pictures in my photo album, and read people magazine. Maybe I'll go read the funnies and update my xanga, because I'm a loser like that. Go me. Be prepared for another blog later in the night. Ciao.

junk in the trunk

ok ok ok i take it back. guys do have butts, and some have very nice ones i must say. but i guess what i meant to say was that guys dont have hips; the girly kind that dont go well with high-fitted shorts (boy shorts). so ladies, buy according to hip size and not waist or butt. fellas can you handle this?

"my body's too bootylicious for ya, baby" ~ Destiny's Child

peter pan

i just want to say that growing up officially sucks, and that i hate college.

thank you

thanks to all of you who came and visited me at the hospital.. it meant alot... and by the end of the night my visitor board was completely filled so i felt really special... so thanks again.. you guys are awesome and oh! btw.. the nurses and doctors got a huge kick out of my "best person to have a gallbladder disease" award.. oh good times...

Don't Mess With Texas

Howdy. Texas is cool. I miss y'all.
My cousin wants to say something.
Cousin Kate: Hi.
So how (who what where when and why) was the loser of the year party?
Mrm, are you going to see Traveling Pants? Cause we won't be able to see it until Monday, seeing as Anna's party is on Sunday night and she has no cows.
I have to go. Playing volleyball w/ Kate's friends. They asked her if her cousins were hot. This should be interesting.

boys dont have butts

first of all id like to thank jax and twitch for giving me the idea to buy more boy shorts (i have some of my brother's old ones but nobody will see those; they are gross). i just bought a pair of boy shorts and i love them. they are comfy and ... thats my main reason for excitement. second of all i must say that boys dont have butts. i have a butt, for all those who dont know, and i have a small waist. in boy sizes i must go by my butt size and not waist size cause boys dont have butts. so for all you who are going to buy boy shorts, beware of the sizes and buy according to butt sizes.
