Last blog before our trippy trip. Thanks for the addresses, kids. I will be sendin' some postcards, yo.



I don't have much to say, really. I've worked too much, so it's really nice to get away. I'm excited to go far far far away. When I get back, though- it's time for a trippy trip to P-town. I need to get a look at Suzie's place. Especially her room and her unicorn purple theme. (I love you, friend).

Mike Hagan doesn't exist anymore. He only exists through sporadic blogs. I can also say whatever I want to say about him because he can't get to my blog either. Ha! He's cute. Waaaay cuter than me and Zach, that's for damned sure.

Hey, you're cute too. Hott, even. Rowr.

Ben has blue hair again. He's the only person I know who looks HORRIBLE with their natural hair color. He should have been born with multi-colored hair. It looks better that way.

I'm out of rambles. I love you all and would love to have your babies.

bow chicky bow wow

I can't seem to access this mother. Why?? I can blog, but I can't see it. Stupid effer...


Biggest annoyance of the moment: Uncle Kracker (sp?) remaking that horrible horrible song. I don't even know the name of it, but it goes- "give me the beat, boys, to free my soul. I wanna get lost in your rock and roll...." a) is it really remaking it if you make it sound EXACTLY THE SAME?? b) Why that song? It sucks! c) radio stations, even though it sucks, play it over and over, just because it's Uncle Kracker. It makes me cry deep inside. A piece of my music-loving self dies everytime I hear it.

To remedy that situation yesterday, I brought in my CD player and listened to whatever I wanted. Woot.

I got new glasses, but I don't think anyone noticed. They look nothing like my old pair either, so y'all need to pay more attention to detail. I guess to contact *cough*sellouts*cough* wearers and those without need for vision correction- glasses are glasses. By the way, the vision in my left eye is 4/600. That's pathetic. They had to mark out the 20 and put a 6 there.

Road Trip in 2 days! E-mail me your addresses, and I'll send you postcards. I really will too, unlike some people I know (MIKE HAGAN).

I just cut my hair. I don't much care for it. It's all layererd and annoying. I was going for short, but not layered because my hair has 'fro tendancies and when random clumps are shorter than the rest- anarchy ensues. Oh well, I made sure it still fit into a ponytail, so guess what kids, not that it's really ever out of one when I have longer hair, buuuuut- it's not gonna be down for awhile. Luckily my hair grows at a quick rate. I give it a month or so before I like it.

*sigh*


In exciting news- at 2 o'clock this am, I was in the middle of a car chase. I was driving home, on Main Street, minding my own business when I see like 7 sets of flashing lights zooming up behind me. It was the "5-0", if you will. They were chasing a white car. The driver of this car decides that he's gonna ride my ass for whatever reason. So I'm all weaving, trying to get away from him until I can get to where I can pull over. When he weaves, I weave, and so do the cops behind us. I finally just weave to the left and stop, and he proceeds to zoom past me and turn onto a side street. The cops all follow him. I think that all is well, so I try to make my way home again. I can't though! Why?? The white car pulls out onto Main again with the cops right behind him. I'm finally to a good pull-over spot so I do just that. I stop, wait a good 15 minutes, and then proceed to go home. I called Chrissy, though, right after it happened. I don't know what it was all about, but it was crazy stuff- kind of exciting too.

Never a dull moment in my life.

AHHHHHH!!!!



I should be working now, but I'm not.

Why??


My psychotic mother.


She called me at work and told me that the people who come to our house during the day to take care of Grandpa let our dogs out and were running around Macon.
I get here and it's Heidi and Lacey- sleeping in the living room. Not running amuck- sleeping!!! I was so pissed off that she called me away from work for that.

I'm just cranky in general today. Example that I just told Suzie about:

A little kid asked me what kind of fruit punch we had and I snapped on him and was like, "It's a drink! FRUIT PUNCH!!!" and he was like, "no...is it fruit works?", and I was like, "I don't know! It's the kind we have! Do you want some?" and he was like- "No, I'll have a bottled water." I'm pretty sure I growled at him and put a curse upon his family.

Road Trip in one week! Horray!!!

Suzie and Jessica- when do you want your dinners, loves? It has to be sometime next week before Friday because Suzie leaves while we're gone. Unless, of course, we make a trippy trip to Peoria when I get back. That could be fun! =)

I love you like a fat kid loves cake.

What?!?

The KKK touched my car.

Zach and I have an understanding with this man. I'm drooling.....





*pant*

He's so cute.

(I'm not a stalker...I'm not a stalker....I'm not a stalker......)

Anyway- my room is in shambles. I decided that after work today, I was going to not do anything and just work on my room. I found SEVEN "free 20oz pepsi product" pop caps. I win entirely way too many of those because I have two more in my car. I creep myself out sometimes.

Mike Hagan came to the zoo and drive the train today. On his last ride, he broke it. Ha! Ok, so he didn't really break it- the air pressure got really low or something and just wouldn't go. It wasn't his fault. He did an excellent job, though. He's gonna rock Scovill down.

All the Millikin girls are gone.

*tear*

I stayed the night with them before they left- the ONLY one to stay with them, mind you. I had to wake up early to leave, but didn't want to wake them up because a) I heard that Terri is a bitch when woken up (it's just what I've heard....), b) Erin was cuddling with her creepy teddy bear, and c) Amy was in a deep sleep with her mouth open. They were all really cute. =) I love you, girls!


In other news- Suzie is home, and I'm having a blast with her. She's so great!!! I'll come visit you tons in Peoria this summer. Maybe we can go see Finding Nemo in P-town, since I'll be gone when it comes out.

Why will I be gone?? ROADTRIP!!! Yay for Zach's mom for letting us take her car.

I'm teething, my lip is swolen, and I have a throat/headache.

I have encephalitis, I know it.

Mike Hagan is a dirty man. Beat him up, Zach!

...ok, you don't have to.


pinkandorangefun: ok- goodnight, beaver stealer
EmuHunter82: whatever, you're beaver is so easy
pinkandorangefun: HAHAHAHAHAHA
EmuHunter82: you should feel privelaged, your beaver is the only beaver i've ever had more than once
EmuHunter82: once you've had sandra's beaver, you never go back
pinkandorangefun: that was over 8 years old?
EmuHunter82: .....i was going to leave that part out
EmuHunter82: cuz i worry they'll tell their parents
pinkandorangefun: truth hurts, doesn't it, child molestor?
EmuHunter82: what can i say, i'm a sucker for easy beavers
pinkandorangefun: oh my goodness. go away
pinkandorangefun: you're dirty
EmuHunter82: i am losing all self respect
pinkandorangefun: you should
EmuHunter82: who needs respect when i can get beavers
EmuHunter82: and not just any beaver..your beaver
pinkandorangefun: aww?
EmuHunter82: we need to get your beaver a helmet....it gets taken advantage of so often, protection really should be used
pinkandorangefun: michael patrick hagan
pinkandorangefun: do you talk to your mother w/ that mouth?
pinkandorangefun: does she know you're a stealer of beavers?
EmuHunter82: she'd be better with it, if she knew we had protection, that's what i'm saying, we gotta get the helmet
pinkandorangefun: no shame
pinkandorangefun: wait wait- FOR SHAME
EmuHunter82: here here!!!!


Perhaps we could have joint-custody, Mike? I mean, you're so attached to my beaver- it smells like you and everything.

What??

The reason Chrissy, Suzie, and I eat so fast:

"While other schools were eating, we were getting head."
Thank you, Suzie, but we did NOT hear you say 'ahead'. Nope. Everyone is dirty.

You like it.

EFFFFFF!!!!!!!!! I just had a whole bunch of stuff, but it went away.


ass

I think this is how it went though.


Zach and I went on a picnic yesterday at Rock Springs. [insert awww here] It was fun. I had my first Jone's Soda too. =)


Today was an eventful day.

Work- I went in today and found out that I had done the grab bags wrong. The thing is, Cathy never yelled at me- she snapped at everyone else who was working yesterday. Only, I KNOW I did them right, because I did them the same way I've done them the past four years I've worked there. If things change, that's fine, but tell us about it. Don't yell at us and expect us to know we're doing something incorrectly. Also- yell at the right people. I would have taken the blame, and would have made things a little more calm by explaining that's what I have been taught, but no- Cathy started drama. What annoys the hell out of me is that she has been at the zoo since February of this year, while I have been there since March of 1999. I think I know what I'm doing. Like Mindy says, "I have trouble taking authority from people who have been here a hell of a lot shorter than I have." Word to that.
In other zoo news: Kelly McMillen is back. Yay. =)

School- our speech final was the greatest. We went bowling! Zach, Sam, and I played speed-bowling which caused me to break a 100. Just so everyone knows- that never happens. I SUCK at bowling. It was a lot of fun though, and was good to do after a stressful day at work.

Later- we went to lunch with Sarah Logan. That was a lot of fun too. We haven't seen her in a good long time, so it was nice to see her.

SUZIE COMES HOME (for a few weeks) TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


wha cha!

Two finals down...two to go.

My bio teacher told me to "kick butt". Thank you?

I should be studying for poetry, but I'm watching Bubble Boy. Oh my goodness does that movie make me laugh.


"She's certainly proud of those boobies, isn't she? Something tells me she's not the kind of friend Jesus would pick."

"I don't know, bitch, I got aloooot to do..."

"Then Pinnochio went outside his bubble, touched the dirty whore next door, and died. The end."

"...and I'll be praying that you get NUT CANCER!!!"

"I wasn't planning on cutting the vato, no."

"He ain't eatin' meat, can you believe it???"

"Have you ever been karmically bitch-slapped by a six-armed goddess???"


I came home tonight, and our yard was in shambles. Shambles! My mom had our raspberry bushes removed, a huge hole filled in, and something else done on the side of the house that I didn't go look at. All I know is that bull dozers and heavy machinery were surrounding the house. It was crazy, yo.

Zach and I may be going on a road trip. It's gonna be fun. I'm excited. We just have to coordinate dates. Yay. =)

Last night was quite possibly the greatest RHV show I've ever been to. They're so great. The new CD is awesome as well. Plus the casing is way entertaining. The bands that played before them were not good. Kissinger was some interpretive rock band, American Minor found their bass player in a Somolian orphange 5 days ago, Spittalfield has never been good, and while Absinthe Blind was amazing, they had epic-long songs that put me to sleep.

Speaking of sleep...last night on the way home, I'm pretty sure I nearly killed us a couple times. Aaron drove by me and honked, thank God, because I know I was asleep. I was going, like, 45 in a 65 and swirving. Yikes. After that I barely remember how I got to Zach's. I just remember ending up on his road and turning into his driveway. Jessica and I stopped at a Road Ranger to get some caffeine so as to not kill us any further.

Work was super-boring today. I had to train a new girl, but NO ONE came to the zoo. I suppose that it was cold, and mother's day, but still- I was boooooooooooorrred. I made flash cards for my bio. ID thing, but that's about it. yawn.

Mike stole my beaver again...

EmuHunter82: just chill, you'll get it, just be patient, i take my time with beavers
pinkandorangefun: child molester
EmuHunter82: hahahaha
EmuHunter82: best response ever


Jessica and I played boob tag.
Amy is cute.
Terri locked her keys in her trunk.


[insert Brittish accent here]

I don't think you're sexy....

I KNOW you are! I KNOW you are!!!!

I'm in stats right now. Does that make me a horrible person? Nah.

After work tomorrow, Zach, Jessica and I are heading to Champaign to rock out at the RHV cd release at the Canopy Club. Everyone bring your ID's WITH you and we won't park 40 blocks away...not that that ever happened...

I'll blog more later, when I have time...


wha cha!

Everyone make note:

I think I'm changing my AIM name, kids. I've grown bored w/ the SJGBluClu3. I'm gonna change it to pinkandorangefun. If I'm not on one, I'll be on the other.


"I was only molesting it because you were trying to take it off..." Oh, Zach, 'tis why I enjoy you, even though it was said to Chrissy, but whatever- you still rock my world.



I showed up to something today, Mike Hagan- back the eff off! I'm kidding...you made a mess, BFF. Why you gotta litter all over the place?
I went to Deadfest at Millikin today in hopes to see Roy G. Biv because they made me shake my butt last time I saw them (and their bassist hit on me........), but only half of them showed up. The two that were there played and did a fine job, but they so would have been better with the other two there... I'm sad. I really like The Burning Reason, though. I wanted them to keep on playing. The Dog and Everything was alright, but I think because the room was so hott, I got cranky and bored with them. I didn't stay to hear Bastian, because my mom needed me to come home and help her with stuff before she left.

I'm home now, and I finally got to talk to Suzie. YAY!!!!!!!!!


Jessica and Stephy are coming home Friday! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!

The new RHV site is fun...everyone check it out. The Red Hot Valentines


Mike gave me my beaver back. He, Aaron, Chrissy and I went to lunch today at Cheddar's. Hilarity, as always, ensued... Funniest things said:

- Is that... is that your nose?? WHORE!!!
- I can see your ear, dike!
- He's not down with the negro community.
- How did you celebrate Cinco de Mayo? ...I shot someone.
- Excuse me. Has anyone here seen Sandra Goaley's beaver????


After that, I went to Zach's because I am whipped. I did not snub you, Terri- don't listen to Mike or Aaron. Mike's a beaver-stealer and Aaron is a horrible person who is going to hell 1/25th of the time... Neither one should be trusted. Zach and I went to BJ's to watch Pieces with Jared and him. Oh my gosh, it was so horribly funny. Bad acting, lots of fake blood, unecessary amounts of nudity, the best three ways to scream "bastard", and THE best way to end a movie ever. My eyes started watering from all the laughter. Good times. =)

Sarah- thanks for everything you said. It really means a lot to me. I won't forget the fun times I had with you either. =)



School is almost over- viva!!!

Mike Hagan stole my beaver.


*dirty glare*

Today was the greatest day at work. Sarah and I played "Elevator Tag" with Gretchen. She'd never played it before and did a pretty damned good job. She sent down this really scary gorilla wearing a tie. Sarah and I won the game with her because we sent up ourselves with a ton of little squeaky chameloeons strewn about, but lost with Diane because she sent up a skull with a rice cake in its mouth wearing a safari hat. That, my friends, was funny. Nothing beats the time I sent a headless witch down to Sarah last year though. Good times. =)

Ben also hung out with us until it was time to close. He's fun. Chrissy also came in to get her articles for bio. She was rockin' her eyebrow piercing all hott-like. I don't know what that means...

It's dark, dank, and dreary out. Bah.

OH MY GOD!!!!! Plain White T's were on the Real World/Road Rules Battle of the Sexes!!!!!!!! The song, "What If". Oh holy crap, that was exciting. EEEEEEE!!!!!!!

My lawn furniture is pink. Heck yeah! The actual color is 'sassy pink'. Nothing says, "take my lawn furniture seriously" like sassy pink. The paint man was way amused with the fact that I was getting this color and with the fact that I was painting metal lawn furniture. "That's the funnest project I've heard of all day." I'm glad I made him happy. When Zach and I were at Wal-Mart on Thursday, we found the PERFECT fabric to cover the seat cushions. It was bright orange and vinyl, so I won't have to put a covering over them. I'm excited.

Today I had the day off. I'm so glad for that, because I think I needed one. I got to sleep in, get my furniture painted, go to the Millikin library to get my env. bio articles finished, and do my laundry. Yay for free time.

Last night, Sean invited Zach and met to an art gallery thing at Millikin. It was pretty ok, because the art had its moments, but I wasn't all that impressed. Sean is the cutest, so it made it just hanging out with him. Terri and Erin were also there, which was cool.

Chrissy got her eyebrow pierced.

Yesterday started out crappy. After I got done with the blogging, I DID skip class to write the paper (which I think is damned good, by the way). I was all ready to go to statistics, but my mom took my car and left me with the hoopty who was in desperate need for an oil change...ergo-- it wouldn't start. So I decided to stay and finish the rest of my paper, and try to go when I was done. I didn't get to school until 11:30. I turned my paper in, and by this point I was in a craptastick mood and didn't feel like going to the rest of my classes. Zach suggested Wal-Mart, so we went to get my oil changed and get his pictures developed. For whatever reason, this took TWO HOURS. Wal-Mart was waaay slow yesterday. He and I roamed up and down every isle at least twice. I found a rug I want, but unless I need something, Wal-Mart is kind of annoying. Oh, but the best part that definitely brightened my day was when Zach and I were sitting on some lawn furniture and this lady in a Rascal thing comes along and hits a metal rack on the end of the isle, gets stuck on it, backs up and hits us, goes forward and hits the rack again, backs up and hits us again, and says, "...I'm always running into something..." and then rolls away. Oh my goodness did we laugh a lot.

The rest of the day got better, but I was still all annoyed with me skipping ALL of my classes. When did I get to be such an irresponsible slacker? Yikes.

Oh, another good thing of the night- I'm not a wuss....or wasn't anyways. I'm still probably a wuss.

Later skaters. =)

I have an hour and a half until class and I still haven't written my paper. Oh, I'm a slacker. I think I'm going to skip class to write it and turn it in her mail box with a made-up excuse note or something...maybe a poem I wrote? Hey- if Dan Davis can do it, so can I!!

...probably not. Those Davis boys have magical powers.

Yesterday was Zach's birthday. He had an attitude all day too. I let it slide because it was his birthday and all. He's still cute......but we aren't!!! We are NOT a cute couple!!! NOT.

I have a title now: "Interrupting Nature"...dang, I'm deep.

Back to yesterday/last night. I had to work from 9-1, and Zach came to visit me. He got to see the gift shop at it's craziest...effing tours. He had to go outside because there was nowhere to move. When he left for class, NO ONE was there. Gretchen and I were so bored. Mindy told me something interesting though- Mike, my boss, thinks that Zach and I are having sex (his actual words were "down on the dick"), which is why I totally flubbed up the pop machine by the train station. This makes sense, I'm sure. It really pisses me off that he would think I'm having sex in the first place, and it pisses me off even more that he says stuff like that to everyone else. They all defend me and tell him the truth, but he still does it. I've always known that Mike was an asshole, but this is the first time he's ever been one to me. I'm his favorite- you don't be an ass to your favorite. I'm really tempted to say something to him.

After work I went home and changed into an orange shirt. Zach had one on too, but I forgot, so yes- we sort of matched...guh. I then went to school and got Zach and Jared so we could roam around (Burger King and Zach's house) before we headed to Lincoln to pick up Courtney. Jared got to see Zach's "Reading time is Hammer time" poster, and laughed about it for the rest of the night. We ended up getting to Peoria really early, but had to stop and ask for directions anyway. We went to a gas station, and I got full-on checked out by this greazy hispanic fella. Jared witnessed it. Zach should have punched him- the greazy chico, not Jared. We found the place without any problem...unlike someone we know (AARON STANLEY), but were waaaay early- dork early, so we hung out at Wendy's where Jared found a circus poster. Poor guy couldn't go because it happened last week. *tear* When the time came, the show was friggin' awesome. I was so sad that the PWT's cancelled, but RHV and the Killowatts put on a rockin' show as always. Chrissy and I played "Lick Her While She's Not Looking" and freaked out onlookers.
They liked it.

We got back home around 12:30 or so, but I didn't get home until 2. Not because I went to Zach's like one would assume, but because he and I sat in the RCC parking lot where he had left his car and just talked. We're weird.

Happy May, everyone! =)
