the overwhelming majority of search engine hits i receive on this site are for 'jock straps'. how sad is that?also, a large preponderance of visitors are looking for 'buzz lightyear'.
one can't help but wonder... with what kind of galactic jock strap is buzz lightyear equipped?
so, do you suppose it's a bad thing if i log in on blogger and where it normal lists your blogs, it lists nothing. no ALL STAR. that makes editing and posting a challenge.
(i'm posting from newsblogger right now.)

i'm not a political person at all, but if there is ONE thing i feel strongly about it is the right to choose. that simply cannot be taken away from women. unfortunately the powers that be do not feel the same.

yay!blogvoices loves me. do you? (discuss)
boring, long-winded post below aside, i haven't had much to say lately. i was just perusing my recent updates and something's definitely been lacking since i left for florida. i don't know why anyone visits at all anymore.
see, the problem isn't that i haven't had anything to say... it's that i have too much on my mind. this may come as a surprise to many of you... but i am so unhappy. so so unhappy. i've all but shut down inside because i have so much to deal with. i don't want to spend the next quarter of a century going through the motions. i don't want to feel so lost, so aimless... purposeless. hopeless.
i want a clean slate... no debt, no failed education, no expectations... i want to know what i want.
i'm scared to death. i'm not myself anymore and i hate who i have become. i'm so terribly depressed that i can't talk to anyone... i've convinced myself no one cares.
i don't even know what else to say...

i mean, after EVERY play the announcer tells me how that play broke a previous record. this is the superbowl. this is the superbowl on crack.
everyone i know is on AIM right now. they are all idle and all have away messages refering to some 'big game' on tv. i wonder whats going on...

after wondering why the buckeyes didn't even show up for the second half of the game last sunday in east lansing, it was refreshing to see my spartans battle 'til the buzzer despite the 10 point deficit they faced the entire last half of the game today. they made it clear they weren't there to just hand out a victory.this was the first time i have seen my spartans lose in person since the final four two years ago in st. petersburg. (incidentally the 'bucks' also made a final four appearance that year, but unlike the spartans who came back to win it all the following year... the buckeyes ran away with their tails between their legs. the trip also foreshadowed the following thoughts on their fans... ) oddly i was minimally upset by this loss in columbus. after all, it WAS a good game, and i had ample opportunities to marvel at what great fans we spartans are -something you take for granted until you hit a few road games.
now, occasionally refs make bad calls against your team. when this happens, yell, bitch, complain all you want... after all, you're being robbed, right? k, that being said... not EVERY call can possibly be a bad call. unless of course you are a buckeye and the call is against you. i have never seen a bigger bunch of crybabies in my life! during the second half, EVERY call made against the bucks was met with a sea of moans and groans unlike anything you have heard before... DESPITE their consistent double digit lead. please, people... please. at one point, in a final effort to really showcase that buckeye class, the ENTIRE arena (not just a few sections of belligerent students) started chanting, 'bull-shit, bullshit'. nice. cute little old alumnae in their red crewneck sweaters... 'bull-shit, bull-shit'. just priceless.
now, i am fully prepared to give ohio state the credit they deserve for playing a great game and beating the reining national champions. they found the perfect defense and completely shut down our quick transition game. they played great and got the job done... or so *I* thought. but what do *I* know... apparently they thought they just played alright... mediocre even. clearly anyone could have beat us, since michigan state is so 'over-rated, over-rated'. whatever.
i was periodically reminded of one of my biggest pet peeves. i can't stand fans that spend more time heckling the other team than cheering for their own. (hey, brian! maybe i DO have some class!) if you know me at all, you've probably heard my thoughts on the wisconsin badger fans (boo). now buckeyes aren't as nasty... but they are just as lame.
and finally, (now i admit i'm spoiled and jaded with consistently championship caliber basketball and a 40 game home winning streak, but...) the students rushed the floor after the game. i mean, i'm flattered that they were so excited to have beaten such an 'over-rated' team, but one wonders if they don't rush the floor after every game. i mean, we rush the floor exactly once per season and conveniently that's usually the last game of the year... and it's not like we don't win big games at home... i mean, hello. check out our schedule.
i guess what it all comes down to is this: that was the biggest game ohio state has won/will win this season. after rushing the floor they may as well have packed up and started preparing for next year, because their season is over.
unlike the undaunted spartans who have only just begun.
(p.s. and at least the hawkeyes won!)

jared is always linked over there to the left, but i just wanted to give him some props for quoting the cocteau twins the other day. music i hadn't consciously thought of in years... even though it still haunts my dreams a little. time to dig out some old cds...
my dad told me about this at dinner tonight. yummmmmmmm
what is your most vivid childhood memory?
remind me... i'll post mine on monday.

"Fox Network, GET SOME GOD DAMN MORALS"

i hate being sick. and you know what i hate more? i hate being sick on my days off... 2 days off... 2 days feeling like crap. i can barely move. i have a 'to do' list a mile long and what have i gotten done? nada, nothing, zilch, zero... shall i continue?
hopefully i'll feel better before i go into work tomorrow or it'll be a LONG night...
17 days until my birthday.
birthdays are good fun... i'll be a quarter of a century old though... which is weird because ideally that's a good third or fourth of my life. last october at our homecoming tailgate i ran into the girls who were our chapter advisor and financial advisor while i was active. they agreed that 25 was their best year so far... i'm keeping my fingers crossed.
the really good news is that bri may be visiting that weekend! i don't know where i would be today without that kid, i swear. i am sosososososo excited to see him again... even if we did just spend over 2 weeks together in florida. i wish he lived closer cuz i can't have anything but fun when i hang out with him. he's about the coolest friend anyone could ever hope to have... (blush away, kiddo)
so everyone keep your fingers crossed that he can come out that weekend... i know the phi mu dreamgirls are looking forward to 'having their way with him'... hahahaha

ooo! something i have always wanted to do if i could get my hands on a digital camera was to take pics of some of my artwork from my breif stint as an art major. i took some pics last night which, with any luck should be ready for you to peruse later tonight. yippy!
i have a bunch of really bad casstte singles. really bad. anyone want them? i'm more than willing to send my entire collection to anyone who has any interest in really bad late 80's/early 90's singles. come on... you KNOW you want them...
(no mike, i'm not parting with color me bad... are you kidding?)
honestly i don't think i've ever had a chest cold before... it seems to be less annoying than a head cold though...
i've been known to catch colds merely from dreaming about kissing people who happen to be sick at the time... i wonder if now i have caught pnuemonia...

so, you know what? i think i'm going to move to florida. i don't really know how i'm going to do that... i don't know yet where i'll live or if i'll be able to make enough money, etc... i should figure those things out.
i do, however know that i need a change. i really don't need to be living in my mother's basement anymore. i probably need to be far away and on my own...
what i really need is a hot boyfirend... i've heard andre hutson is taken though... drats.
hehehehe

so on 'jack & jill' tonight someone mentioned some rule about breakups that i had no previous knowledge of (yes, i'm ending my sentence like that, brian.) turns out it'll take you half the length of time you dated said person to get over him/her. by the end of march i should be good to go. hear that, joe? your lease on that corner in my head and heart is up on april first. april fools day... how ironic...
there is no thing
i want a word-of-the-day calendar. is that so much to ask for? i can't find one though... someone get me a calander.

wow! slack-o-rama! slacktastic even. i think after taking a few weeks off around here... i dunno. i feel like i should give you all some big recap of my adventures... but i don't wanna so i guess i'm going to jump back into blogging full force like my magical vacation never happened and maybe i'll add snippits now and then about all the badass stuff i did...deal? good.

ok, the giant picture had to go... but it didn't go far.brian said it makes me look about 18... nothing like looking almost 7 years younger than you really are... i'll try to take some that make me look my own age -except i never act my age so i think that kind of keeps me from looking my age most of the time too...
whatever

i might just delete all my webrings. what's the point? i get virtually no hits off of them and when i try to surf them i hit more dead ends than anything else. some of those rings are so old and poorly managed you click trough a dozen messages like "i moved again!" or "blahblahblah.com sux so i got hosted at halbhalbhalb.nu" until you ultimately get a nasty 404 shoved in your face.
sigh
guess who got a digital camera for christmas!
