my MS & funeral thoughts
I went to a funeral today. That's really all that I did that was worth talking about. I was pretty sick today so I slept for a large chunk of the day. Sorry I've been slacking on my blogging...

My multiple sclerosis has been acting up and my eyes have been having issues. This has been keeping me from doing much reading or typing.

Back to thoughts on my funeral...

I do not want you guys to play songs off of a tape recorder at my funeral. Please just stick to singing stuff.

Also, don't send me flowers. I won't be able to enjoy them. If you are going to send me flowers for my funeral, send them now so I at least get to see them!

And...make sure you get me a butt kickin' preacher. Thank you.

Hey RUFers...
I got this from Nathanie today: "I plan to attend law school at the University of Pennsylvania. It would be nice to see a different part of the country. Philadelphia looks like an exciting town."

Just keeping you on the cutting edge! ;-)

Easter Bunny Whipped by Pennsylvania Church Group
Wow...these people are a bit nutty. Fuq, you should visit this church.


Easter Bunny Whipped by Pa. Church Group

GLASSPORT, Pa. A church trying to teach about the crucifixion of Jesus performed an Easter show with actors whipping the Easter bunny and breaking eggs, upsetting several parents and young children.

People who attended Saturday's performance at Glassport's memorial stadium quoted performers as saying, "There is no Easter bunny," and described the show as being a demonstration of how Jesus was crucified.

Melissa Salzmann, who brought her 4-year-old son J.T., said the program was inappropriate for young children.

"He was crying and asking me why the bunny was being whipped," Salzmann said.

Patty Bickerton, the youth minister at Glassport Assembly of God (search), said the performance wasn't meant to be offensive. Bickerton portrayed the Easter rabbit and said she tried to act with a tone of irreverence.

"The program was for all ages, not just the kids. We wanted to convey that Easter is not just about the Easter bunny, it is about Jesus Christ," Bickerton said.

Performers broke eggs meant for an Easter egg hunt and also portrayed a drunken man and a self-mutilating woman, said Jennifer Norelli-Burke, another parent who saw the show in Glassport, a community about 10 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

"It was very disturbing," Norelli-Burke said. "I could not believe what I saw. It wasn't anything I was expecting."

a thought on love
I want to be loved so much that the other person thinks I'm worth fighting for.

*wow* I'm feeling the love. I've had many kind people e-mail me today and wish me a Happy Birthday. Plus, Robin even did it on her webpage!

20 doesn't feel any older. And no, Nate, I'm not going out drinking. Bummer...huh? I went out earlier this week I've also decided that I can't drink anymore. It makes me really sick with all the meds I'm on. But, be sure to have a drink for me! ;-)

random quote
This is a random quote from a friend of mine who is graduating from college this year. It's nice to know that he's finally figured out what he wants to do with his life...

"I'd like to be a scholar of sex...you know, study it...for a living"

last night
I had a great time last night. Drinking with Chase, Will, Sam, Katie, and JohnPeek?good times! I love drinking with Chase. We checked out guys wherever we went. We started by drinking at home?because we are poor college students, and that?s how you have to drink. Then we headed to The Ginger Man because JohnPeek is really picky about bars. We had some beer?and then we had some more beer? JohnPeek was too busy necking with Keri to make it to The Ginger Man. He had to meet us at our next place...

Chase decided he wanted Tiramisu?so we headed to Brazil. That place was great. WAY too hip for me. But fun. I?ve decided I?ll probably go to the best places if I hang out with Chase.

We were going to head back home for Tequila shooters. But we decided we were all ready to crawl in bed. Plus, I had a long drive home still. We only had 11 drinks. That?s really low, however, keep in mind that some of those were mixed drinks. And let me just say, in the future, I?d like Sam pouring my Vodka. The man is generous! ;-)

blog from yesterday
So I'm so mad! I'm hanging out at Will's and his silly laptop won't let me blog. It's not accepting my password but I now it's right because I'm smart like that. Arg! It's really driving me crazy. I have so much to blog!

A professor at Rice told me I had nice rims. *sigh* It's nice to know that when professors aren't hitting on me, they are at least hitting on my car. Yay for spinning rims!

Will and I have hung out all afternoon. I forgot how nice and comfortable life is with Will. We decided that, for all logical purposes, we should marry. However, that would gross us out...and be like incest. 'coz Will's my brotha...yo!

We did our typical bitch about life and go to Chili's routine. It was swell. Plus, I brought Will lots of beer to enjoy. He said he was tired of drinking Guinness. I brought in two kinds of Shiner and some Hiney.

I've made a big decision in my life. I'm going to stop talking to my ex-boyfriend. I just don't think that it's good for me anymore. I loved him and he treated me like dirt...and trampled all over my heart. And yet, for some reason, I still adore him and do things to try and please me. What is up with that? Why are girls that way? I usually talk down about girls who are like that...and yet, here I am, doing just that. It drives me crazy. I think the only way to make things better is to force myself to stay away. But I won't rant about him too much. That's Will's department. ;-)

Oh....the 11yr old is old news as well.

I guess it's back to professors for me...Fuq will be so glad. He already thinks I'm regressing anyway. After all, I am leaving the PCA. See what happens when he takes his good influence all the way to Pittsburgh?

In other news...I think that Will, JohnPeek, Keri and I are going out for drinks tonight. That should be fun. I drove past the shady place Will wants us to go. I think that sometimes he forgets I'm a lady and treats me like another one of the guys. It's all good. But I do have my limits. ;-)

My mother and I got in a huge fight today. What else is new? I'm so royally tired of living at home. I *must* move out as soon as possible. Then again, I've been trying to do that since I was 15. It's all good...I had banking to do so I was able to escape off to the bank and cool down a bit.

You know what song I love? "Tipsy" by J-Kwon. What's up with that? I keep hearing these songs and thinking that they would be great to drink to. I think I'm going through alcohol withdrawal now that I can't drink anymore.

Will has this cool paper weight thing on his desk from the Guinness brewery. Why do my blogs always seem to rotate around booze? I promise I don't drink that much. You can ask Tricia. She thought that I was a total boozer before she met me. Now she knows how sweet and charming I can be. :-)

*yawn* I've been typing for about 15mins but for some reason it feels like 3 hours. I'm really sleepy. I think that I need a nap.

One of Will's roommates is here. I'm not sure who it is. But he hasn't said hello to me yet so it's all good. I think it's Sam. He's the one I'm going to marry in Vegas. Woohoo! Me and Britney.

Speaking of Britney...someone just told me a few days ago that she was a ho. It's not like I didn't know this. I think that she is my guilty pleasure. I know it's so wrong to listen to bad pop music. But it's so fun!

I'm not looking forward to Easter this year. No one in my family wants to get together yet, we all feel the need to for my grandmother's sake. There is nothing more fun than hanging out with people who don't want to hang out with you.

I'm wondering if my Sam experience will be any fun. It can't be any worse than living at home.

Well, I'm going to put my head down on Will's desk and try to catch a few z's before we go out. I'll have to blog this later since Angelfire is being a dork. Arg!

country lovin' & tequila
I think I'd like to have the kind of love that only exists in country songs. You know, a cute man with a truck and a dog. Adoring me and buying me cheap beer. Oh yeah...it sounds like Heaven.

In other news I've been linked by the Lovely Christine. Wow! I'm feeling the love. For some reason I love her blog. It's like reading Cosmo...only better. Maybe someday I'll drag my butt up to TAMU to meet her. I think we should get Robin to do Tequila shots. :-D
