Sniffy McSniffertons

I am: Snotty but not in a stuck up sense more like snot is running down my face (how attractive is that picture?)

I do not think that I can express how much I hate getting colds. I especially hate getting colds while school is still in session and today was the prime example of why. Like a good student, I went to school sniffling, coughing, and praying to God that my head would just explode and that would be the end of it. Well, because of my lack of better judgement, I did not bring any Kleenex wit me to school. Hey, let's blame that genius idea on all the Nyquil I had ingested. Anyway, the first half of the day, it didn't really matter because well, my nose wasn't running that bad. Ha! At 11:17, in the MIDDLE of my math class, the Nyquil wears off and snot runs from my nose a la Niagara Falls style. At first, I attempt to sniff it all back up into the deep cavernous nostrils that I have. After about 10 minuets I come to the realization that, that isn't working. Suddenly snot escapes from one of the nostrils and begins to drip lower and lower onto my upper lip. You have to imagine the instant panic I experienced. There was NOTHING I could do to stop what was about to be the most disgusting event; snot dripping down onto my lip and possibly slipping into my mouth. I tried to hide the snot by carefully placing my hand conveniently over my face, but no. That wasn't going to help. I had to consider my options:

a) let the snot drip and deal with it
OR
b) use my sleeve ((ew) to catch what I could before I was snot-ified

LUCKILY while I was strategizing, the class was ending and when my professor dismissed us I made a mad dash for the first kleenex box I could find.

I love the Magic Bean. Everyone always goes to the Mud House but I, and my awesome friends, find that the environment at the Magic Bean to be about 10 times better. It's never crowded, they have live music, and, best of all, they serve Jones Soda.

I can't even begin to explain how much this picture makes me giggle. If you click on it you can get somewhat full story behind it but it pretty much speaks for itself. When I buy a house I am SO painting this on the side.

I am: Chillin' like a villian

I dislike homework more than I dislike Hillary Duff (and that's quite a bit). On Sunday night I had planned to finish up what I had left in Anthropology because it was pretty much DUE the next day. I get home around 9:30 work for about 45 minutes when my dad yanks me downstairs because of the impending tornado. Then the lights go out till 4 am. "Fantastic" I say to my self, "I'm so glad that all of my Anthropology work was done ON A COMPUTER RUN BY ELECTRICITY!!!". So I've been way behind on homework all week because of that. I wasn't able to go to Hannah's show on Tuesday and I couldn't even go to The Magic Bean on Wednesday to see Ben play. No, I was stuck at home worshiping the homework God. Uck.

Best Hannah story of the week (well aside from the Taney County sheriff's department searching for her for various reasons):

Paraphrasing Hannah....Because I suck at remembering things...
"Did you ever hear my story about the proofreading class [she may
have actual said it was a publishing class. I don't remember.] I took a few
semesters ago? Oh my God. Yeah, well the class was filled with communication
majors. At the beginning of class one of them stands up and asks, 'We're going
to have to KNOW how to spell? Isn't there someone that does that FOR us? Can't we just use spell check or something?!' I though I was going to die."

"AHHH" is an understatement

I am: in a terrible mood for the next 24 hours

The anger I feel at this point can only be related to the anger that was felt by America when Halle Berry did Catwoman.

received this morning:

Laura,

Well, not good news this morning. Apple has delayed the shipment of your MacBook Pro again, estimated now to ship on/before March 13th. I haven't had a chance yet to talk with my rep but will try to find out what's going on and let you know.
Sorry for the disappointing news.

I am so pissed. No one can even relate to how pissed I am right now. So while I have been waiting for my Birthday present for what, 2 FREAKING MONTHS now my friends have all bought new iPods, XBOX 360s, motorcycles, SLR digital cameras, and even received MacBook Pros BEFORE me. Jealously is consuming my soul. Not even the thought that tomorrow at 7 pm I will be seeing Jared Leto and his band 30 Seconds To Mars live, can smother this anger with joy. No. No no no. I will not be in the WORST possible mood all week. I swear is someone buys something super new (for instance: a new computer, a new car, or anything else that would over shadow my Macbook Pro) I will implode. I promise. I WILL IMPLODE.

To make matters worse, I was invited to a board game party this Friday and told that everyone was allow one guest (it's a small group of us from one of my art classes). I was then told that everyone was bringing their boyfriends. Haha. Silly me. I forgot to get one. Well, when I informed the host today that I was the cliche single chick, she did this,
"Oh. Um, that's ok. Just invite a friend."
"Well, I don't have any single guy friends..."
"That's ok to. Just bring a friend."
"But all of you guys are going to have your boyfriends with you. It'll be weird if I just invite a random friend."
"Well, it'll be ok."
Faaaaaan-tastic. I am not bringing anyone and once again I will be the odd one out. FAN-TASTIC.

A Basic Manual

I am: another hero

The photo shoot for Hannah's EP went well, which is FAN-tastic. Hopefully this will lead to me getting jobs from other local bands who need headshots or what-not.
