No more finals!

I'm done! I'm done! I'm done!

I'd be a lot happier about that if I didn't have to stay an extra semester.

Is it odd that my two current related searches are cartoon dogs and dizzy?

Coming ssoon...

Comments!

Happy Chrismakuh!

Seven shows I watch with religious fervor:
1. Celebrity Poker
2. Queer Eye
3. The O.C.
4. Friends
5. Real World
6. The Simple Life
7. Rich Girls

Six things you will never hear me say (again):
1. "Pass the cauliflower".
2. "Shopping? No, I really don't feel like doing that today."
3. "Wow! A rattlesnake! That would make a cool pet!"
4. "Yeah, Paul. Saturday sounds good."
5. "Wassup, mothafucka?"
6. "I think I'm going to decorate my house in palm trees."

Five favorite reasons it's almost Christmas:
1. Strawberry bread
2. Mary and Joseph dinner
3. Only 10 days until NYC
4. Seeing all the old crowd
5. No class, no quizzes. No JBU for three whole weeks. Count 'em.

Four Things I learned that I can cook this weekend:
1. Macaroni and Cheese from scratch
2. Andes Mint Brownies
3. Artichoke Dip (so technically, that's not cooking, but it was damn good)
4. Chocolate Souffle (also from scratch)

Three recent re-occuring dreams:
1. That I'm up on stage, rapping. And I'm really good. Sadly, I can never remember anything I say. Think em' in 8 mile, but female. That's me, feminem.
2. That the scary-ass animatronic dancing Santa Claus at Wal-Mart jumps off of its pedastal and comes after me. That thing can move. Its like Chuckie, but old. It's sounds funny, but so not.
3. I'm pregnant, but only I know its really a mass of snakes in my belly. Then an abortion doctor comes to my apartment and bangs on my door. I don't let him in and try to save the snakes.
(P.S. If anyone can interpret that last one, email me at lolagrape313@yahoo.com)

Two Great Roommates
1. Janna
2. Corey

One current beverage of choice:
1. Swiss Miss Rich Chocolate Hot Chocolate. Yum!

In other negative news...

My friend Becky writes a weekly column. They're usually about her great lack of faith in the government and G. W.
At a conservative Christian school, that borders on blasphemy.
This week's was about how the US are making other countries destroy their nuclear weapons while stockpiling their own.
I admit, she's not an expert. But she does make a point.
She got an email sent to her personal account from a freshmen student that started off with:
WHAT THE HELL?
Writer-wonder then went off on tangents about how she shouldn't complain while "she's sitting on her ass while men are laying down their lives for her."
He closes it with "SHOW SOME DAMN RESPECT, BITCH."

Did I mention that I love people who type in caps?

F JBU

I just found out that I have to stay another semester to take ONE CLASS.
F the administration.
F my advisor.

All I want for Christmas is a new stylebook (and money)

I'm reading a Lit Crit book about the Harry Potter books.
I know. I'm a dork.
But it actually is pretty good, except for the author referring to television as "teevee".

Currently posted above my desk in the Advocate office:

1. An "I love Daylight Donuts" bumper sticker

2. A collection of Bob the Builder trading cards that includes Bob, Dizzy, Wendy, and Muck the Truck. If you want any of your own, you'll have to buy the fruit snacks.

3. "The Beefcake Advocate" art gallery---photos which have run in the paper in the past two years with shirtless men. The ones we got complaint letters about. But in our defense, they were all taken at school-sponsored events.

4. Quotes from delirious Advocate staff and stupid sources including:
"The dogs just loved to pull. They were made to pull. It's in their blood. For them to do that was a real-life application for me. To do stuff as hard as you can. Do everything to your fullest."

"How do you think practice will be now that you don't have players coming in hung over?"---former assistant sports editor to head coach one day after practice

"I saw the photographer from the Benton County Daily Record today, and I was checking out his equipment."

"So in a sense, I kind of grew up in a gangster culture."--from Mass Media professor who grew up in Leadville, Colo.
