Well, my life is still boring aside from stress and shortness, but the university is moving up in the world. I am, of course, basing this on the headlines displayed in the DA today, among them being "Students search for cheapest books", "University helps pick 'Professor of the Year'", and the one that proves we are on our way up "WVU seals Coke deal". After having lost our noble status of number one party school in America, to Louisiana if I remember correctly, we had to find a way to redeem ourselves. You know, this definitely calls for a top ten list.

Obviously, nothing interesting happened yesterday. Let's hope that today proves more useful and exciting.

Well, today isn't turning out to be interesting either, so I'll just have to entertain you in some way. I could tell a joke, but I can't think of any. This is such a difficult task, go ask Dave Barry to entertain you. Yes, that should work.

Wow, I have been updating this fairly consistently for a couple of weeks, isn't that bizarre. Now something interesting has to happen, so I can write about it.

It has come to my attention that someone doesn't like the way I numbered my Top Ten list yesterday, so I find myself forced to write another one.

To liven up this journal I am going to entertain you with a top ten list. You are excited, I can tell.

This has not been an overly eventful day. I watched Mousehunt which was definitely not suited to my mood, but my mom insisted that I should watch it. She's such a sweetie. And next week I get to visit my oldest godson whom I haven't seen in 2 years. Yes, I am a sucky godmother, but I try. Anyway, unless something exciting happens, I will let you go.

Today, I went to the mall with my mommy. I love her, but she has the opposite of road rage, I would call it road fear or road timidity. She drives slowly with her hands clenching the steering wheel and a worried expression. We all breathe a sigh of relief when we pull into the mall parking lot. I bought myself a cookbook which I will probably look through once, but for $3 I think it it worth it. I also bought various gifts for my VIPs. Anyway, I am off to build a world.

And to top off my Saturday, I went to another Nak'd Jakob concert or gig, as you please. And for all you losers in Morgantown who didn't go, you missed out. It was an excellent show with various names inserted into the music--not mine, I am not that cool. *snicker* And now you know that you won't miss the next one!!!

I am going to see the new movie with Jay and Silent Bob in it tonight. I shall be your faithful movie critic and report back. Right now I am entertaining myself with barcodes and an online radio station. Bye bye for now!!!

Okay, Jay and Silent Bob are my heroes. At least, Bob is. How can you not love a guy named Bob. I found it to be a highly amusing movie, so go watch it and see what I mean. Oh, and while you're at it, try some theater popcorn. *grin* This has been an unpaid advertisement for Carmike Cinemas.

Well, I was supposed to go out with friends tonight. of course, my friends failed to mention that someone who has no moral fiber and has tried to screw me over in the past was coming along. Ah well, gives me more time to hang out with my computer. Bah, it's been one of those weeks, hasn't it?

Well, Goonies on DVD was almost completely satisfying. Unfortunately, I don't believe they put the edited scenes back in the movie. *sobs a little* They have a version of the movie where the actual actors and producer make running commentary while the movie is playing. I found this highly amusing. They even point out some of the quirks in the film that I had noticed, but decided to overlook by convincing myself that I am a nut. Yes, I know that I am a nut.

I am still working on the spiffy project, so I am still making slow progress with room descriptions. If people let me build tonight, I should be able to get another area 100% complete or at least close. Then my Rhymers will have a home. Hmm, I should post the Rhymers guild history and put a link from the main page. I will have to talk myself through that one later. I am back to playing with my barcode scanner.

I get to pick up my copy of Goonies on DVD today. I am so excited. At last I shall prove that there was a squid, some leeches, a map burning, and a Goonie pledge to the non-believers. If not, this DVD is not worth the money I am paying for it and I am going to cry. And you know we don't want that. The flood would be terrible. I'll update you later, since I am trying to limit myself to talking about interesting things instead of rambling.

Okay, I just have to comment on this one. Why do people not realize that if someone sends a message via a mailing list and you reply to the mailing list, everyone on the mailing list gets your reply? I have been reading personal messages between a student and our professor for a while now. Granted, I accidentally did this once, but everyone else should have learned from my mistakes too. *wanders off snickering*

Today has been a good day thus far. I got a new project that gives me the desire to pause from time to time for about 2 minutes and write descriptions for an area on the MUD. It's not actually a bad project, just time-consuming. I am also listening to my beloved Sarah. Aside from all of that, one of my friends is back in town. Wouldn't it be my luck that as I sit here in my little cage feeling like a lion at the zoo, one of my friends would walk by and I would look up and see them. He looked a bit bewildered when I called his name, since he didn't see anyone he knew, but I finally managed to come up with the words, "I am down here," before he could escape me. Muhahahaha. Life is good. Now if I can just get all the stupid college students to leave, life will be good. Hopefully, most of them drop out:)

Woowho, Aravan posted a page about another of my favorite young men. Katassah is such a cutie, so now everyone has to go look at him. *wanders off happily*

It's late so I shall try to make this brief, but I tend to be rather garrulous from time to time. I woke up this morning and cleaned a little bit before my honey woke up, then we got to spend about 3 minutes together before he went to work. Then I got the deep thrill of going grocery shopping. It wasn't too bad, I got to see an old friend:) Then I decided to fold my piles of laundry while I chatted with my friends on the net and waited for a couple of other friends to come claim me, so we could hang out. In the meantime, I scanned a lovely picture of my chest that proves I am an alien.

They showed up and we were off to watch TV at one of their houses. After not having seen cable for extended periods of time, I found myself with a couple questions. Why the heck do people watch reality programming? Weren't sitcoms much better? And what is sexy about Gillian Anderson/Dana Scully? I am sure she is a sweet woman, but her age is starting to show, kids. Although the giggling coming from me when the Terminator came on probably wasn't appreciated, I think it was a successful evening. Of course, I must give kudos to Michelle for her excellent choice of White Chocolate Rasperry Philadelphia Cheesecake bars. *burp* See you in the morning, net junkies.

Today proved to be an exciting day, as I expected. I woke up and made French toast and sausage for breakfast. Then I got to eat with my sweetie. Then I had to get ready to hang out with my friends as we had planned.

While I got ready and tried to find clothes, I talked to a few friends on the net. one of whom encouraged me not to get drunk since I wouldn't go drinking with her. Well, I didn't get drunk, imagine that:)

Then we went to another el cheapo store, the infamous Gabes, where I found a pair of purple calf boots to add to my bizarre boot collection, which I am quite proud of. I also bought a comforter which is reminiscent of walking through the castles of France.

Well, I have updated this page more than I ever updated a paper journal, so you should all be happy. In the future (after I acquire a modicum of drawing ability), I aspire to make a comic strip featuring my baby boy as a commentator. I think it will be a riot, but other people will probably just think I have lost what was left of my mind.

Today has been pretty good. I brought myself great happiness by running over my foot with a book cart (I was calling it a truck until some happy church people got worried about my safety). My honey came to console me and bought me lunch at Quizno's which came highly recommended by Mezon. It's too over-seasoned for me, sadly, and I may explode. Well, work calls. I get to play with the barcode scanner. Don't worry though, just like the sun, I am bound to come back.

It's morning. I forgot my random disk of information in my work computer, so you don't get to hear all the details about my fun last night. Let me see if I can recap the highlights.

I went to a meeting last night to help get ready for the Haunted Hayride in October. Mezon, Verene, and I will reprise our roles as happy ghouls (actually, we're all going to be witch's--no more Qui Gon for Mezon). As a matter of fact Mezon is going to let us sacrifice him, he's so trusting:) Maybe, if he is lucky, we'll let him live and kill a teenie bopper instead. The meeting was long, the people were overly excited and we still haven't been assigned our happy stations, but we will prevail and I will end up making most of our props at the last minute.

Anyway, I have to go put stickers on books and smile pretty or something. Come back later, maybe I will finally be interesting *grin*.

Ah, I have been listening to people extol themselves. Luckily, I still have that nice lunch from Nick's Canteen filtering through my system to keep me motivated. I also have that free ice cream that I stole from the department next to me, but they love me even in they are belligerent weirdos. I have also played with dusty books today. I am waiting patiently to go home now because this is getting old--not my journal, silly, my menial monkey work as Mezon would call it. Anyway, back to work I go, wish me luck.

In an attempt to mock myself and the other people who put their thoughts up on the web for random people to peruse, I have decided to make this online journal. Odds are that I will forget about it tomorrow, but that is the way of the world. So I shall bore you to death with this entry so you won't want to come back, then I won't have to feel bad.

So what shall I start with? Obviously, I have to discuss what I am avoiding doing right now. I am trying very hard not to do my work. Some days it is okay, but erasing and stamping have always bored me to tears. I have a window open so I can watch the wisdom of my MUD scroll past. Maybe I shouldn't have paused to look in that window. I think I shall discuss something else now.

Now would be a good time to think my happy thoughts so I can fly off to Neverland with the famous Peter Pan, maybe I will find my marbles there *grin*. Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy thoughts. I found one--my darling Verene. He's a sweetie and he washes the dishes, so how could I complain. Well, I won't brag too much, but I shall be talking more soon. My break is almost over and I need to post this.

Well, it is lunchtime and I was going to try to add another link to my page by creating a guide to the MUD, but I can't come up with a good way to do it. Some days just aren't as good as others. Maybe someone will take pity on me when they read this page and send me suggestions via e-mail. If they know my e-mail that is, otherwise they'll just wish I would stop babbling. Anyway, I should get back to that before I run out of time to work on it.
