5:40 pm	Anger, pain, and anxiety I fucking hate pharmacies. I should've gone straight to the drugstore. I mean, poor Michael went, and if you present them with PAPER, they fill prescriptions. Call in? Fucking joke. I still have a stomach virus, still am depressed, anxious, and pissed; still fucking hurting and NO ONE helps at all. I went right to the psychiatrist's office, and the receptionist said..."He has to sign this, and we'll send it to your pharmacist's..." Never fucking happened. I am annoyed beyond belief. Yes, I feel shitty. It's been TWO WEEKS and 4 DAYS since I had a fucking Zoloft, let alone anything else. My stomach is still unsteady. I came to B'ham, hopeful that my ne'er-do-well pharmacy could do something simple like SEND A SCRIPT to a DEFINITE NUMBER from ANOTHER MAINSTREAM PHARMACY. NO!!! Not a damned person knows a damned thing. God frickin' ass! You know, the worst thing is, SUPPOSEDLY the prescription is filled at the pharmacy I told them to send the meds to. Funny. Maybe not so much. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

4:46 am	My List of Questions. i answered yours. You answer mine, K? Incense...yes or no? The craziest thing you'd do for money is...? Do you floss? Does blood gross you out? Do shots? Do you believe in ghosts? Angels? The weirdest thing that has ever happened to you is...? Favorite weather? Do you like the pool? Favorite hair colour in a crush? Are you romantic? What was the last song you sung or mouthed to? Craziest dream? Craziest drunken memory? The last thing you bought? Three words that define you best are... (Or if you need more words, write 'em on down)... Active or sedentary by choice (i.e., work doesn't count)? Best part of a lover's body? OK that's enough. These bitchy birds outside of my window are about to die. Snake food.... There should be laws against hiphop in the morning and little chirpy birds outside windows. Oh yes... and laws against Southernisms like "ain't" (Adam) or ya'll (Adam) or "winder" for "window". "Over yonder" is not a place. "Y'other day" is not a time. In Florida and up North, at least with those individuals I have come to know, "You know" is a popular expression. "It's like, you know, cold as a bug's ass out here" or "Um, you know, it's about rush hour at this time, and, you know, cops will be everywhere." No no no. Enough with the ranting about speech. I'm sleeping now. Hehe... and I woke Michael up at 5 in the morning. How cool am I? Oh yes! Current Mood: tired Current Music: "Bitchy birds" by the Bitchy Birds (5 Comments |Comment on this)

11:38 am	Why I Don't Like Easter 1. I stopped getting Easter baskets. 2. People give me flowers that I will probably kill because I don't do well with flowers. 3. Driving. 4. My family. All together. 5. With cameras... 6. Though no one has all the cameras at the same time, so we have to pose ad nauseum for family portraits, sister portraits, cousin portraits.... 7. and then I have to drive again. 8. Pastels. If I liked Peeps, I would have at least one good thing to talk about. But I don't. And I am so sleepy! And overworked, underpaid, and ragged. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

8:12 am	Woohoo I got to sleep without horrible sweaty dreams of blood, gore, and losing everyone I loved (which, by the way, I remember completely, and I have never had nightmares). The dreams involved watching my loved ones line up, be shot one by one in the stomach, and left to die slowly, screamin, and I was helpless to do anything. I tried to stop the bleeding with my hands but the stoach acid burned through my skin and the bones couldn't hold in the blood. On another note, I met Holly's boyfriend, who seems cool enough and not so emo and likes ATHF so he might be all right. He doesn't have a car though. He can't get his license because of some drunk driving thing or something. He hangs drywall, which pays well, so he actually pays for their dates. (Until Brandon II, her current, she had to do all the driving and fund all the dates.) Note: Brandon I was a prissy little bitch who made Holly cry all the time. She recycled him about 3 times before moving on, thank God. Of all the things that ought to be recycled, shitty boyfriends are not meant to be recycled. "Well, he deserves a second chance..." Bullshit. Thank you all for your concern over the head injury. It means a lot. :). Hope everyone's doing OK and feel free to call if you need to talk.

10:12 am	Memory loss blows First off: I had my dates wrong; I won't be going to Illinois until next week. This is my REAL memory problem... Second: I knocked my head on the table at Arby's attempting to evade Michael's spitwads. I didn't hit the table really hard, but I hit my head near the coronal suture and bad things happened. * I couldn't read street signs. * I got very confused * I had no depth perception--we went to Blockbuster and I genuinely could not tell where mirrors were in relation to the people waiting in line to check out movies. This, I learned later, was after Michael messed up which movie theater 300 was playing at and I REFUSE to go to any other theater but Carmike on Monrovia, so we went to rent things, but there was nothing good to rent. * I was honestly convinced I had Roofies in my drink...for a moment. * I lost a lot of memory from Arby's to this morning, had extremely real dreams that sucked, and Michael, my little darling, LET ME FALL ASLEEP with a concussion. * He later went to sleep on the couch. * I forgot the date and day. ** This really isn't Michael's fault, he tried very hard and was very nice when he wasn't trying to scare Chris by sending scary text messages. **I think I am OK now. **Michael still has a valid point...I am clumsy and get grits in my keyboard. He did not say that, but it was implied. And he made the bed pretty. ** Sorry, Korn, I didn't mean to scare you. Current Mood: blank (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:20 am	Dumb ol Test The Everything Test There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all. Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too! Enjoy :-) Personality You are more emotional than logical, more concerned about self than concerned about others, more atheist than religious, more loner than dependent, more lazy than workaholic, more rebel than traditional, more artistic mind than engineering mind, more idealist than cynical, more leader than follower, and more introverted than extroverted. As for specific personality traits, you are intellectual (73%), romantic (57%), artistic (55%). Stereotypes Young Professional 71% Punk Rock 67% Hippie 57%   Life Experience Sex 25% Substances 54% Travel 22% Politics Your political views would best be described as Libertarian, whom you agree with around 68% of the time.   Socioeconomic Your attitude toward life best associates you with Upper Middle Class. You make more than 0% of those who have taken this test, and 88% less than the U.S. average. If your life was a movie, it would be rated PG-13. By the way, your hottness rank is 71%, hotter than 96% of other test takers. TAKE THE TEST brought to you by thatsurveysite (2 Comments |Comment on this)
10:57 am	Black Snake Moan This is an awesome movie, and I got to enjoy it when they (finally) fixed the screen and the sound. Christina Ricci has an awesome body even though she does play a nymphomaniac in this movie who is counselled by being chained to a radiator. I did like her better brunette, though. Andrew complained incessantly about the mold, which no one saw but him. He's such a priss. BTW, on Black Snake Moan, you see Christina's breasts and she's in a short shirt and panties for most of the movies. Just thought Adam would like to know. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

6:03 pm	Anna Nicole Smith Rather than agitate Michael with my response, I'll make an entry, because I haven't in a while. She wasn't the most awesome chick, but no one deserves death like that and obviously she was in a lot of pain from losing her son and having a bajillion lovers and taking too much mood-altering diet pills. This is a commentary on our society, not on her. No, she was not Princess Di, and publicity has gotten downright disgusting with its coverage of the dead and who claims the body and so on. Jon Benet Ramsey, another victim of the ceaseless media presence. Let her die in peace. I can only imagine a report on my death: "Sheri is now entering the state of rigor mortis... wait... her eyes opened...oh hell, that's just rigor mortis...look at what she's wearing...would you be caught DEAD in that? HAHA.. stupid joke... so who will claim her dead and useless body? Science, the Mormons, the dirt, formalin? Well, the battle rages on as she was on a plethra of drugs for mood problems...among those are Zoloft, one of the constituents of Daniel Smith's death, and Minocycline, shown to have suicidal results in girls aged 21 to 23..." SHUT IT UP. Cells are dead. Soul is gone. Cry, mourn, but don't televise anything, damn. Rest in peace means just that. I feel sorry for the woman and angry at her stupid bitching bunch of body snatchers. Hating people is for the living, not the dead. Current Mood: blank (6 Comments |Comment on this)

8:23 pm	Toyakazumi's Book Quiz Snatched! Book Quiz! 1. Book, Short Story, Poem, or Magazine sort of person? Book 2. Does "genre" mean anything to you? Yeah... I like fictional novels about characters with intriguing life complications, real life stories, murder mysteries, fantasy (some, I'm not a nerd like some people...Adam...j/k) and even the occasional romance, but none of that sappy ass verbal porn shit. That's just bad writing. Horror and sci-fi. 3. If so, what's your favorite(s)? Horror and sci-fi 4. Do you think your favorite genre reflects on your personality? Yeah. I love thinking about ways to die, or ways someone could kill me, or what I could poison someone with... no really, I just have a strange frame of intrigue. 5. Put the following things in the order of importance to you: plot, characters, themes, neologistics (i.e. new things in the writing), style. characters, themes, plot, style, neologistics 6. Put the following things in the order of importance to you: romance, suspense, conflict, problem solving, comedy. conflict, suspense, comedy, romance,problem solving, 7. Once you start a book, how strongly do you feel the need to finish it? Have you ever stopped a book in the middle? How often? Why? I am compelled to finish a good book. I will stay up all night if I am captivated. 8. On a scale of 1-10, how much do the following things detract from your reading experience (things in the text that drive you out of the moment)? A. Racism: 5. Some people are just being stupid, and so are writers. B. Sexism: 8. OK, yeah, feminist. C. Graphic sexuality: 2. In the right context, it is really good. (Sarah's answer is staying cuz it's kinda creep.) :) D. Graphic Violence: 2. If you like murder mysteries and horror, you gotta accept the violence. E. Rape, Child abuse, Etc: 8. SARAH: See "The Lovely Bones". (I found it a fascinating read of the evolution of a character after death, but child abuse and sexual abuse are very disturbing and sickening.) F. Religion (or lack thereof), expliticitly stated: 4. OK. So. You have a religion. Don't want to read the Book of Mormon, but then I won't. G. "Poor" fact checking: 5. If it is a novel and the characters get it wrong...it bothers me but I can get over it. If it is a nonfiction, I may drop the book depending on how off the facts are... (Yep. But P. chem is lost on me, Sarah love.) H. Typos: 7. I lose credibility in the author and publisher. But I make a lot of typos, too. 9. Do you tend to attribute everything a (or every) character says to the writer's personal beliefs? Absolutely not. What I write and the characters I create are usually nothing like me, only a portal of alternative beliefs to speculate on. 10. How many pages per hour would you say is your general reading goal, all things considered? How many books per month? Books are easy. About one a day or two days. So 4-7 books weekly. I read fast, and can read a shitload of stuff if it's interesting. Chem... er... one page per day. 11. Do you consider reading goals helpful? No. I like books enough without having to have some "goal". 12. Do you enjoy reading more or less now than you used to? More than I used to. 13. Have you ever skipped school/work/a date/etc to read? Yes, school. (Me, too.) 14. "Desert Disk" book time. You can take 2000 pages (about 10 point font) on an island with you to make up your primary reading material for the indefinite future while waiting on rescue. What do you take (and yes, it was worded like this to stop cheaters, heh)? Pooh on this question. I'm not counting shit. 15. Now that THAT is out of the way, what would you say your favorite novel is? Too many to name, but "The Lovely Bones" was stirring. "Memoirs of a Geisha" was interesting. "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" taught me about science, and "Good Omens" taught me about humor in real religions. 16. Short Story? "Mothsmoke." It's a book, but it's short. 17. Favorite non-fiction? "Smashed" by Koren Zailckas. It's about alcoholics and life and everything in between. 18. Do you read plays? Do you have a favorite? "The Crucible." 19. Do you audiobook? No, probably never will. 20. Do you "e-book"? No. 21. If you could purge the world of any one writer's works, which would it be? Steinbeck. 22. If you could double the number of works by any one writer, assuming equal distribution of writing quality, who would you pick? J.K. Rowling or Koontz 23. What gender normally writes the books you read? What time period? This is irrelevant. I read books I like, and don't sort authors into little groups. 24. Favorite novel to the screen adaptation? Favorite short story to screen? Favorite play to screen? "Narnia" 25. Any movies better than their source material? No. 26. Least favorite work to screen adaption? "Memoirs of a Geisha." I was deeply disappointed. 27. Book or movie first? Either way is fine. 28. What book (or short story, or play) needs to be made into a movie? I don't know if it is possible, but House of Leaves would be interesting to see. (I'll go with that, because my other one would be "The Lovely Bones") 29. What writer are you most likely to name drop in a conversation, whether earnestly or not? PLato 30. Last question. If you had to buy a book for a dear one's birthday, what section of a bookstore would you hate to be spotted in the most? I would have to say science...or, weird Japanese comedy.

5:06 pm	Chem Lab I explained to Sarah and a few other random people from the chemistry stock room my theories on why it's best to have a gin and tonic before going to lab. My viewpoints are as follows: 1. You feel good, so there's no stress or desire to get home to drink. 2. You are open to suggestion. (Says Sarah.) I told her I was not a lab slut. 3. You are procedural. You are calm. Your hands do not shake and spill sulfuric acid anywhere. 4. You are friendlier than you should be at a late night lab that consists of waiting...and waiting... 5. You will actually do your homework for other classes, because you are motivated. Because you follow set procedures and aren't rushed, you'll get those problems right. Onwards to eugenol extraction.

8:00 pm	Postal I have anxiety issues. I have an O chem test tomorrow, and I am freaking. I know the material, and I haven't felt so scared of a test since high school and the fucking ACT. Please let me sleep tonight, O great deity, so I can at least fathom alkanes if not the evilness of alkynes and HX reactions... :). I'll be skippy if you do.

10:40 pm	mmmmmm Your Love Type: INTP The Thinker In love, you are honest and serious about commitment. For you, sex is something you think about and desire a lot of the time. Overall, you are pure in your affection and feelings. However, you tend to be suspicious and distrusting at times. Best matches: ENTJ and ESTJ What's Your Love Type? (2 Comments |Comment on this)

9:32 pm	Let's see... 2 lab reports due (6-8 pages, single spaced, with drawings and details about the hydrocarbon acid reaction), 1 large Evolution review, one large Biogeo review, speeches to prepare, swimming at 6:15 in the morning (and doing sprints to build up speed, which tires me out by my 9:10 a.m. class and I have to repeat, "Don't nod off, don't nod off..." ) Also: lab. Lab notebook. OWL homework. Two tests and a paper due Thursday. Always Thursdays. "I never did quite get the hang of Thursdays," to quote from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Doctor's appointments. Various cleaning stuff. But now, for one day...peace. To anyone I have unintentionally neglected by going mildly insane... sorry guys, I'm just trying to get by. That means no free time. Ever. Being a senior is rough. On the other hand, I have met a new friend, Valerie Hazelwood, who is in my speech class and shares many of my interests except for the fact that she is painfully shy and quiet...but into bio, and more libertarian than anything else. And I am getting to know Megumi Mochizuki and Hong Vo (Tai) very well these days, and I've learned that getting any sort of tattoo on your back is like suicide in Japan because it's supposed to symbolize gangs or something just by the placement. I have also learned that Megumi eats more than anyone alive, but has Adam's alcohol tolerance.:). Gran and Grandaddy seem to be doing all right. Grandaddy has an eroded disk in his back, which hurts him, but that's kind of a "getting old" thing. My dad has a herniated disk, and so do all his brothers. I have scoliosis. On top of my list of other health problems. I yearn for simpler days. You guys all take care and take care of one another and no more hatin' on people because that's not nice. Just beat the hell out of each other and get it all over with and drink some herbal tea or echinacea. Time to log off this infernal machine. Love to all, and to a (1 Comment |Comment on this)

2:04 pm	Global Warming Notes from the other side: 1. Michael eats ears. 2. Mary Setzer plays stupid games where she doesn't put up the damned OWL homework so I can actually work on it when I have time. 3. My grandmother is getting a mammogram tomorrow. 4. "Donnie Darko" hits very close to home. 5. I love my new workable MP3 player. I am so old school. 6. The weather sucks. 7. Does anyone know of any good concerts or shows going on soon? 8. Welcome back, Kevin. 9. IHOP is in order in light of tomorrow's national holiday. 10. I had to turn on my AC today. This sucks. 11. I wish my name was Regina. I also wish a was Jamaican, or at least tan. With some cool blue eyes. Then I could dance like Shakira. 12. Sorry, "Hollaback Girl" is addictive. I know it sucks, but it sucks in such a fun and stupidly addictive way. 13. Snowstorms in Boston? (Thinks of that stupid show, "I Love New York" on VH1, where everyone says Boston as "Bahw-ston". Some aspects of the Northern accent I could do without.) 14. Molly has informed me of an asteroid moving on a collision course with Earth that will hit the year 2029, approximately, unless deflected. Nah. I'll be done with life by then, I think. Reason Number 89 why I won't have kids. 15. I have not had enough convos with Adam, Chris, Kevin, etc. And where did you guys go? 16. I think I managed to offend my speech teacher by not liking the term "y'all" but I didn't explain why. I hate collectives, or groups named as one entity. Like it goes against the "one person makes a difference" theory. Not because I hate Southernisms. Say "dern" and "over yonder" and "skeeter" and "ain't" all you like, and I'll tease you, but I won't bitch. For once. 17. *Thinks of how many Southernisms she knows. 18. Writes a new post.

11:42 pm	Insomnia I watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off today and was immensely satisfied. I gathered all my writing samples for Dr. Norman, worked on some bones, and did a lot of errands today. Yay me:). In light of Chris's accident, I have to say the ER really fucking blows. I avoid it at all costs, and most of the people I worked with when I did my rotations for EMS were jackasses who got paid loads of money to take blood pressures, temperatures, and ask lame questions. (Example: "Why are you here today?" "Because I'm bleeding everywhere and my head is cracked and I think I've lost like a pint and a half of blood just fucking WAITING to get my head stitched up!") Half of the fuckedness deals with assholes who book the ER for stomach aches, back pain, or sore throat. There are also the occasional detoxs, and (sorry Adam) a few careless diabetics who really just needed glucose or something because they forgot to eat. Head trauma constitutes emergency care. Having a runny nose doesn't. These are my observations, anyway. I decided against med school because of that crap. The ambulance was cool, though, and my training paramedics knew their stuff. They didn't know Spanish, however, and on a domestic violence call I had to translate to the Hispanic guy how to fill out his forms. I go swimming tomorrow at 6:15 a.m. I refuse to be intimidated by McGregor, who was my SCUBA instructor. I am glad Adam is back and I got to see Marley and Carrie and everyone for the first time in a long time. Rock. OK, time to sleep... sleep is joy...

10:43 am	Happy New Year's, Guys I refuse to accept this weather, and so I refused to celebrate New Year's. Poo on Global Warming and SUVs and CFCs and pollutants that kept me from celebrating my New Year's happily. FUCK YOU GLOBAL WARMING!!! That said, resolutions are made to be broken, but this year I want to live healthier, be kinder to those I love and those I do not, to focus on my schoolwork with my fullest capacity, and try not to suck too badly or too often.
