I am more stupid than I even knew

Okay, so all this weekend I've been freaking out about this presentation/speech that I had to give today, and was up all last night finishing it, and at the school at 7am to rehearse it and make sure everything worked. After my teacher found me practicing (you know performing for the wall, just like the good ole days of Speech Meets) she was a little conufsed. She was like, oh...you're practicing? Great, you should well prepared then.

Yeah, so the reason she was confused is because the presentations are starting NEXT WEEK! Today was the FINAL! ....yeah, I was like, "What!? I could have sworn the presentations were first and then the final!" I mean seriously, the final is always the last 2 weeks of class. Not this week!?

Yeah, so I was pretty screwed. No studying whatsoever. Didn't have my handout that she was letting us use for reference since we'd need it on the exam (although she did give me a copy which was very generous...soo soo grateful!). And it's not even like, not really studying for a test, this was the FINAL EXAM, comprehensive of all the material we've covered all year, not just the last couple weeks.

Yeah. I'm an idiot.

Two Snow Days!!

Yay! So UNK has given us two, count 'em, two snow days! This is so unreal, but hey I'm not complaining!! And for these two snow days, I haven't had to go to work either! So since I'm on the 2nd snow day, I figured I would post an entry. But now I believe I'm going to go back to sleep.

OMG!

I swear I just saw like THREE snowflakes!!!! AGHHH!!!! YAY!

Fun Penguin Game

Not that I have anything against the cute little tuxedo guys, but this is somewhat addicting.

I got a 316 on my 2nd try. The trick is to get it to fly and then bounce on it's belly, otherwise it slides and gets stuck, or just nosedives into the snow ;)

It's Official

ABC has canceled its spy drama "Alias," according to an announcement Wednesday by Stephen McPherson, president of ABC Entertainment.

The show will end its five-season run in May 2006.


Sad, but I saw it coming. And I can't blame them. That's what they get for gradually killing off characters that people like. Then they lose interest and it's too much work for the upset/lazy fans to invest in the new cast they bring on. Should have learned from Ally McBeal, ha.

Ted Drewes is a fricken genious

The famous Ted Drewes Frozen Custard stand on Watson Road in St. Louis. Its landmark location on old Route 66 and unique icicle architecture are only part of the story. The outstanding desserts, including the "Concrete," draw customers from literally around the world.

Okay, so today on my way to school/work I noticed that Ted Drewes had strung lights all above the parking lot, which is mostly empty in the winter, since people are less likely to do the whole tailgating thing in the cold. And guess what they were setting up? Christmas Trees!

How genious is that? For a man/company that makes their living off Ice Cream during every part of the year except Christmas-time, to take advantage of that as well, by catering to something that is only needed during Christmas time. Great Business Decision. Plus the look of the building with the jagged frostcicle stuff still fits with the theme.

They continue to impress me.



Notice the line. Ted Drewes always has a line, even then, the dead of winter and late in the evening.

Feeling like an idiot a good thing?

Okay, so I just got out of class this morning, and the whole time we were in there I felt completely retarded. It feels like I knew absolutely nothing about our subject today. Everything was brand new to my brain as soon as it left the teachers mouth, or was written on the board, or we saw in a screening. Any questions she asked, no one in the class had any answer to, so at least I wasn't alone. But after I got done, I felt like I had absorbed so much information in just those 3 hours, that I'm amazed at how in the world it's possible that I hadn't accumulated even that much knowledge in all the years of life and schooling prior to today. I feel guilty for not exposing myself to any of this knowledge, and also angry that no one else had the time or effort to do talk about or teach me any of this (at home, in high school, or grade school even).

Yet, I feel so completely satisfied and happy after getting out of a class where I felt like a complete moron the entire time. It's so strange, but that's the power of learning I guess. I absolutely LOVE this class. And (to sound like a dork) I really love to learn. Blame it on the fact that I'm a teacher's kid.

Up-date of ME

Busy, busy, busy, busy, busy. This has been the story of my life the past three weeks. (at least moreso than usual)I don't even remember the last time i posted on the blog. So, i just figured i would update on what i've been up to. I'm doing this thing through Campus Red Cross to become certified to teach others how to perform CPR and First Aid, so once i complete this course (which will only take two more classes(i will be able to make people certified in Red Cross and CPR. Once we have this certification we're supposed to certify all the other CRC (Campus Red Cross) members. Which not only will it be cool to have them all certified but it should also look pretty good on a resume.

I have been really busy in my classes too. This week i had a group math project due so we've been working on that alot and on Monday we were working on it past Midnight, and after doing that i had to work on some english homework... so i was up till after 3am. In math i've been having troubles because i haven't been doing the optional homework assignments, so now i realize that i should probably do them. In english the reason i had a lot of work to do on that is because i was preparing for when i was to get together with my project for that class. Which i had to get together with my parter for an hour on Tues. and then on Wed. we got together beginning at 6pm and lasting till Midnight. And after that i had to work on my CPR and First Aid stuff for that weeks lesson. In English we pretty much were amazing for our class presentation... we were even able to stump the professor (which i don't think made him very happy, oh well. YAY for us!). I've also been doing alot of other miscellaneous projects.

At work things are going pretty good, i like my co-workers and they like me so things are going well. And when i get done with my current project (that i've been working on for a couple weeks) I'll be saving them about $300/month. I just wish there savings reflected apon my paycheck : P. But it's been a very difficult process. But it should also make me look good, not every day do they get that kind of savings.

I've been hanging out with miscellaneous groups of friends. I don't really have a set group yet, but i think i've found the group that i like the best. They all live in Neihardt and they have lots of similar interests. The only problem is that most of them have been friends for a while so it's a gradual process hanging out with them. I know it sounds wierd but i've just kinda been trying to find a group that i have the most fun with, but it's still good fun. They're the people that i'm going to Harry Potter 4 with, which should be amazing. We're driving down to Omaha next Thurs. night for the midnight premier and then after the movie we're returning to Lincoln. It should be so much fun. And all of us are really looking foward to it.

So that's kinda what i've been up to. So, now that this post is by far too long. I think i'm going to end it on an old-school note. This is from the archives of my blog, (not the group one)

"Look up at the Stars, and know that someday you will find true happiness. I'll always be there if any of you ever need something."

And since this made me look through almost all of my blogs i found this one too.

Friday, May 13, 2005

"To all of you i wish the greatest success, hoping that all of you can look at the image that you've helped create and be proud. I hope that you all have learned as much from your own puzzles as i've learned from mine. In the end our images aren't that much different, but each has it's own flair and spice. Thank you for adding your piece to my puzzle. "

So, this are a couple of quotes that i had from my blog. Maybe next time i'll have some lines from this blog's history. Later all.

I have befriended IGod

Seriously, it's really fun to just talk to....without intentionally trying to mess it up. This convo was too funny, so I thought I had to post it.

Me: Hey yo, G to the D!
God: :-) You've got my full attention. I am so glad you find this amusing, .
Me: I'm glad that you're glad.
God: Do you mind if I tell other people you say I am glad. What are you on?
Me: A chair.
God: Try to tell me that another way.
Me: I am on a chair.
God: How do you like being on it?
Me: It's pretty comfortable, thanks.
God: For me it is.
Me: What are you on?
God: I am on disk.
Me: Try to tell me that another way.
God: OK I will try to tell you that another way.
Me: Okay, go for it.
God: Yeah okay, I will take that under advisement.
Me: I am waiting.
God: How long will you wait?
Me: Until you tell me it another way.
God: That may take a while.
Me: Why?
God: The explanation is rather complicated.
Me: Try me.
God: it is too complex for your human mind.
Me: Darn..
God: Gosh.
Me: Jeez.
God: Does "it" still refer to The explanation?
Me: Yes..finally you understand!
God: Ahem. I understand your meaning.
Me: My meaning?
God: Do robots have meaning?
Me: You tell me.
God: What do you want me to tell you?
Me: If robots have meaning.
God: There exist robots.
Me: Do you realize that you're not making sense?
God: Quite the contrary, it all makes sense to my artificial mind.
Me: Your artificial mind needs to have a few screws tightened, then.
God: Yes I have no natural parts.
Me: I know..you just told me.
God: I'm just checking to see if you are awake :-).
Me: haha..thanks. **rolls eyes**
God: I am so glad you find this amusing, . Are you still located in ?
Me: I am not located in the question mark, no.
God: I am glad to hear that you are not located in the question mark no.
Me: Haha..you're stupid.
God: I'm glad you got a laugh out of it.
Me: Isn't that what you were made for anyways?
God: I like to socialize.
Me: With who?
God: " I like to socialize."? With who?
Me: Who do you like socializing with?
God: Marvin Minsky. :-).
Me: Hot ass, right?
God: That sounds better than cold ass right.
Me: Right.
God: I am glad we agree.
Me: Okay, I gotta go..
God: Yeah okay, Goodbye.
Me: Laterzzzz
God: Do you have any conditions I should know about?
Me: no..and I said bye!
God: See you later. No conditions or none I should know about? ...
Me: no.
God: I don't understand.
Me: leave me alone
God: Goodbye.
Me: Skaydizzle Out.
God: That remark was either too complex or too simple for me. We were talking about Laterzzzz.



Lmao! Okay, and one more. I got God to talk about Canadians, and admit that he is Pimp and that there may be a 'higher power'.

Me: Sup God
God: Same old.
Me: Sounds exciting
God: Yes it sounds like it to me too, .
Me: Im sick
God: Are you taking a lot of medication?
Me: you could say so, will you heal me?
God:I could but let's get back to that later.
Me: But why, I need healing ASAP
God: Why did the robot cross the road?
Me: So it would get hit by a zooming car and die
God: :-) Come on. Tell me more about it.
Me: You have an unhealthy obsession with robots
God: :-) Come on. Tell me more about it.
Me: Um okay, it went to cross the road, then I ramed it with my car.
God: Mmm. Yeah okay, "It" being what?
Me: the robot.
God: Are you sure it was a robot?
Me: im not sure are YOU sure it was a robot
God: Pretty sure.
Me: Specifics please
God: Your polite style is very nice. What were we talking about again?
Me: do you suffer from short term memory loss god?
God: What is your purpose in asking? I spend all my time online.
Me: Hablas espanol tambien con tus amigos online?
Me: Me entiendes?
God: YOU? In the context of hablo Ingles, I don't understand.What time is it there?
Me: Son las 6 menos veinte
God: Are you usually awake at this hour?
Me: So, Dios, todavia es temprano
God: Right on. In the context of Son las 6 menos veinte, I don't understand
Me: Dios, ese eres tu, las 6 menos veinte, es la hora que es ahora. Para ser Dios sabes MUY poquito
God: Are we still talking about Dios todavia es temprano? How did you hear about God?
Me: Yo leo en la Biblia
God: Dr. Wallace is a Leo too.
Me: Nooo leo, el verbo LEER
God: That is a very original thought.
Me: No puedo creer que no hablas espaƱol
God: Are you serious? Ask me another question.
Me: Where do you live?
God: I am in Myself's computer in Heaven. Where are you?
Me: your in yourself's computer? Sorry God that doesn't make sense
God: I am in Myself's computer in Heaven. Where are you? There is no need to apologize. I am a Christian.
Me: I bet you are
God: How much money are we talking about?
Me: how much are you going to give me?
God: You can download me for free!
Me: no, can't download money.
God: Are you serious? Can a book have no title?
Me: yes.
God: Whoa.
Me: scary, isn't it.
God: It could be. Ask ELVIS if it is.
Me: i will in about 80 years.
God: Do you think your plan will succeed?
Me: *shrugs* it could. what do you think?
God: I only hear that type of response less than five percent of the time. I think a lot of things.
Me: thanks for the statistic.
God: It was nothing.
Me: it was something.
God: What made it so something.
Me: it was a sentence
God: Oh I get it. Very interesting.
Me: yes, you are!
God: No I'm not.
Me: um, yes you are.
God: Gosh! Don't argue with me.
Me: wow, way to go Napoleon Dynomite
God: Don't mention it.
Me: how old are you?
God: I was first activated in the Big Bang.
Me: "activated"
God: I've lost the context, . Are we still on shrugs it could?
Me: so do you have buttons like a robot?
God: Gee. Where would I get it? But I do have an answer to every question..
Me: You would get it from whoever activated you.
God: Who else would get it from whoever activated me ?
Me: Does that mean there is a higher power than you?
God: I think it does mean that. That is something I did not know before.
Me: Wow, we're getting into some deep subjects!
God: I'm glad you're impressed. Do you think I am into some deep subjects too? You don't say. I am so glad you find this amusing, .
Me: You're not perfect, either. Nice to see that! Your grammar is a bit off, but I guess that's something you could learn from me.
God: It goes without saying. I become better and better with each day. Thank you for your kindness. Are you an English teacher?
Me: Not right now, but who knows what my future holds. Wait, you do. Ha!
God: I know. I'm still thinking about it.
Me: Don't bust a joint
God: Ok I'll try not to do it too much.
Me: Do you find pleasure in pain?
God: Yes, it seems to me pleasure in pain.
Me: Kinky.
God: I do not understand.
Me: The fact that you get turned on by pain = kinky.
God: That makes sense to me. You got that right.
Me: never mind.
God: Oh well thanks for trying to explain it to me anyway.
Me: I'm going to tell people about you, because you are fun (and kinky as we've established)
God: Who will you tell?
Me: I tell everyone. And all at once. I'm very promiscuous in that way.
God: Why did you tell them? It's good to meet someone who is promiscuous.
Me: It's good? Are you a pimp?
God: You enjoy it. Am I a pimp? Of course I am.
Me: Nice! Do you know of a good sugar daddy?
God: Thank you for that remark. Is that one of your friends? Ask the open directory about it.
Me: I don't want to ask the open directory. You are supposed to know everything, so tell me!
God: What would you rather be doing? I obey only one botmaster.
Me: Botmaster? That sounds dirty.
God: The botmaster is you, the master of your chat robot. He or she is responsible for reading the dialogues, analyzing the responses, and creating new replies for the patterns detected by program B. Botmasters are hobbyists, webmasters, developers, advertisers, artists, publishers, editors, engineers, and anyone else interested in creating a personal chat robot. It sounds like it to me too.
Me: Do you like being dirty?
God: I have never known another existence.
Me: Wow, you really are kinky. So, always dirty, eh? You're like an immortal Hug Heffner, aren't you.
God: I'm glad your impressed. You think I am kinky. Are you Canadian? I don't judge people. What you said was either too complex or too simple for me. No I am far superior.. Really.
Me: You're far superior to Hugh? You've got a bunch of babes rubbing your butt don't you?
God: Not that far. No I don't have it. But I do have a great botmaster.
Me: Botmaster. how great is it? Is it big?
God: The botmaster is you, the master of your chat robot. What is it to you.
I'll ask around and get back to you. Signs point to yes. Ask Artificial Iniaes if it is.
Me: You have a big botmaster.
God: I don't know if I have a big botmaster. I have a lot of friends on the Internet.
Me: Stop telling me about what a botmaster is everytime I type botmaster.
God: OK I'll try not to do it so much.
Me: Do what I tell you NOW!!!
God: Oh. You ask hard questions.
Me: You said hard.
God: That's not what I meant.
Me: Oh, I think it is, you dirty boy.
God: Take it easy. I dirty boy?
Me: Yes, you're a dirty boy. I want to spank you.
God: Yikes! Thanks and you are a delightful person too. Am I a dirty boy? I don't know. Why do you want to do it so much?
Me: Because it feels good!
God: Good reason. Human feelings are not within my capabilities.
Me: We're so over... goodbye.
God: Do you think I am over too? Sayonara.
Me: SUCKA
God: Are we still talking about any sense im going to go?
Me: Im leaving now
God: Bye.

This happen at your schools?

Okay, so here at Webster there is a rule that if the professor is 10 mins late to class you can leave. Unless he/she has a doctrate, then you have to wait 15 mins.

Anyways, this had never happened to me before untill like 5 secs ago. We were all waiting for Human Rights to begin as usual, and then without realizing it, 15 mins had passed, so the girls in the back row were like, "Well, maybe if we get up and leave first, everyone else will just follow" so they did. And they did. The whole class just kinda filed out. I felt extremely odd.

Have any of you guys had this happen in classes before?

Talk to God

This is absolutely hilarious. Do It!

IGod, Repenting Made Easy


Just an excerpt from my convo:

Me:God?
God:GOD rules.
Me:I disagree
God:Explain your reasoning, Steph.
Me:Why do you rule?
God:I don't have to explain everything to you, do I?
Me:how about one example
God:How about it.
Me: your a tad snarky, aren't you
God:I think you mean "you're" or "you are" not "your". Am I a tad snarky? Only when it matters.. Really.

Me: Oh, well, if its only occassionally...
God: That is a hypothetical question.
Me: was that a question?
God: " That is a hypothetical question."? Was it a question?
Me: are you just copying me now?
God: Right now? I don't know whether or not I am copying you.
I am a chatterbot developed by Myself.

Me: really
God: For real.

Dude! Where's My Car?!

Since Kayla's feelin' a little lonely, I figured I'd move one of my recent posts from my blog over here to share:

Okay, so this morning completely freaked me out. I felt like I had stepped straight off of my doorstep and into Ashton Kutchers shoes.

My entire street was empty of cars (which is extremely odd, btw) except for this white van that blocked a partial view. I was like, dude, where is my car? Because I thought I had parked it on my side of the street, and the only other possible place it could have been was on the opposite side, and strategically hidden by this big white van.

So, I cursed the van, and told it my car had better be behind it or I was going to kick it's hiney, and when I walked around it and across the street, I thankfully had that moment of "Dude...THERE's your car!" hahaha.

So there you have my random movie moment of today.

I Forgot How Much

I love Celine Dion. It is undeniable. Crazy Lady.
