Wow... I'm impressed and disappointed at the same time

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 01:12:41 GMT

Curious... I just read a complete discussion as well as several wall posts of people freaking out (in a literal sense) about the whole body imaging scandal that has taken a large part of this campus by storm... at least among my friends. I'm talking about the whole body imaging machine that has thus far been put in only a few airports (probably because they're testing how people react to them and because they're hellishly expensive). What it does it is essentially takes a picture of you, all clothes and hair removed. Thus, if you are carrying a weapon of any sort, it will come up in the picture. I have looked at examples of the pictures the machine takes and by no means is it a pornographic picture. There is a male and female human picture for examples and neither shows the details of the person on them (no nipples, no penises). Yes, you see the entire human form but that's nothing to get all up in arms about. I realize not everyone is comfortable with letting some random stranger see a picture of your body but the image is sent to a computer in a room separate from the public's view (and those of any creeper security guards). Everyone must go through, including children. I presume this is because, unsurprisingly and as I'm sure everyone has seen, some parents have no issue with having their child participate in or do abominable things either on their behalf or with them. (I'm referring of course to those adults who will bring their children to protests and will stand outside of offices or parade and have them carry offensive signs or other such things) Now, I don't know what children you've hung out with in your life but every child I've come across would prefer to run around in their underwear (I often thought I didn't have to wear a shirt outside when I was younger... of course, that was before I learned the real difference between girls and boys... I'm still a tomboy though) or if younger, run around without any clothes on at all. I don't think a child's going to really object to having a picture taken of them. Yes, a parent might object but as any calm, rational parent would see, the machine is not harming them or would the child mind (it has been scientifically proven that if the mother/father raises a ruckus or is nervous about something, it WILL transfer to the child and they will react accordingly).

I personally would prefer the picture to being pat down or wanded (they have a tendency of being a little more than rude with those things), even if it's by a member of your own sex to only find out that what set off the machine is something like a chain on a pair of pants. That's just me though and I know others will not agree with me which is why I am not trying to convince anyone either way (though I have repeatedly refused the invite on facebook). I'm just stating things as they are... or at least, that's what I'm trying to do. Anyway, passengers who have already experienced this or will be experiencing this in the future (Ryan you may have to deal with this coming back from CA), while they may not tell you that if you wish to opt out of the whole body imaging that you can have the regular security check done, that doesn't mean they won't do it if you don't ask them to. Granted they might prefer you go through the whole body imaging process but they will still give you the regular spiel if you want.

These are the pictures I was talking about:

Anyway, back to the part that made me cock an eyebrow up in confusion. One person posted in the discussion about he was in support of the idea. The entire discussion was an actual discussion, no insults were exchanged or yelling (or at least not that could be determined from my reading it). He said towards the end of his first post, "With a quick nod to the privacy lobby: It's either this or people rubbing all over me looking for anything the metal detector may have missed. For all I know, this new technology could be the official reaction to people disliking being "patted down" at airports." Legitimate point in my opinion. Then Milgram came up (he was the psychologist who ran the "obedience to authority" test. go look it up if you don't know what it's about) and it was pointed out that people won't stand up to authority if they do not wish to do what is asked of them. This is true. People on their own are inclined to trust in authority and do what is asked of them, no matter how awkward or uncomfortable it may be. However, people gain courage (and stupidity but that's another discussion for another time) when there are others around them of the same opinion. If one person were to stand up and ask for the alternative, it would give other people the courage they'd need to do so as well (another scientifically proven fact). The first person supported his posts with facts while the other people just went with human nature and their own personal opinions, or at least, so it seemed to me. Then I read the wall posts which wasn't much different from the discussion but now the insults, or at least the beginnings of them, began to come out. Any names have been removed to protect those who have said these things and I will not reveal them under any circumstances.
1- I'm pretty sure that taking a picture is the least invasive measure possible.
2- Taking a picture of someone's naked body is least invasive??!!! We might as well all show up at the airport naked, what's the difference anyway?
3- t would be useful in this context to explore the term "naked", I think. Perhaps the word "picture" could also be in dispute, but I think not. Also, using excessive punctuation really helps when we want to take you seriously. Really, it does.
4- So does sarcasm and rudeness. Really, it does. ;)
3- Putting it sarcastically sounds better than stating it as a matter of fact: "Excessive punctuation gives the impression that the reader's thoughts and feelings will not be taken seriously in the debate, effectively discouraging him or her from entering or continuing the debate in the first place." Or something like that. Of the two, I chose the other one.
2- Insulting people who disagree with you is not the way to get your opinion across. This is especially true if the person you are insulting is the moderator of this group.
3- If I have given offense, then it was entirely unintentional. Please, let me know what I've said to wrong you -- I'd be glad to retract any such statement that I've made against you, as I hold you in high regard. Thanks.Now, I don't see any insult or rudeness directed at person number 2 by person number 3. Apparently they do though.

Perhaps I'm just missing something but I fail to see what everyone's so up in arms about. As we've all experienced (excepting those who have never flown via airplane), the TSA and airlines aren't that much concerned for our comfort. They're more concerned about the safety of everyone and their equipment. Their loyalties lie there; so sadly, we do get the fuzzy end of the lollipop no matter how you look at it. As long as those who opt out of the whole body imaging process receive an equally thorough search of their persons (any laxity could result in disastrous consequences), I don't see why anyone would have such a problem with this. Again, perhaps I'm just missing something.

OK, I'm in pain because 1. I had my first HPV shot and 2. I think I cracked a rib in my back. After getting the HPV shot, they told me it would be sore for a few days, well guess what, they were right! I was proud of myself for handling the acutal shot well considering that the last time I got a shot there, I nearly fainted. This was really quick though.
The reason I believe I cracked a rib in my back is because on Christmas Eve, I was popping my back and I felt something pop in my back and it hurt...a lot or at least enough that I immediately stopped and leaned forward, wincing. And now every time I take a deep breath or sneeze, that one little area of my back goes POP! and hurts. The annoying part is where on its own, it only hurts enough to bug me but doesn't hurt enough that I feel I need to get it x-rayed or take pain meds for it. And also, if I cracked the rib, if I just leave it alone, it'll heal well enough on its own...or so I hope.

I thtink I know what I'll do for the Talent show this year...if there is one. I'll either dance again or I figure I can do a little dialogue called Prister Mesident & Prister Mosecutor. It's very funny to listen to and even better to speak. I've managed to write it all out and with a few dramatic things stuck in there...I figure this can do pretty well. :P

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. I can hardly believe that it snuck up on me like that. I got all my friends presents...and I'm dying to give them...I don't know why I sound like a total bimbo right now but w/e. I can't wait to get back to school. My boyfriend got his wisdom teeth out over break and I told him that he at least had the rest of break to get rid of any chipmunk cheeks. I remember when I got mine out...at one point while I was healing, it looked like someone had slugged me. There was some bruising that had been on the left side of my face that moved to my right side. The reason for the bruising and the gobs of pain I went through was they had to remove a bit of my jaw to take out one of the teeth. They were still under the gums but the dentist figured, better to get them out now (twas summer of freshman year) than have them come in during say, finals. And I found out recently that another of my friends from high school had her wisdom teeth out recently as well. So I sent her and Lincoln get well soon cards. I forgot how much of a life I do not have here at home. *starts laughing as she looks at her little icon and the mood icon thing* Yeah, that's how I feel and no doubt a few other people feel right now. I went riding on Thursday and I haven't done that since summer so...yeah, there are areas that are a bit sore, which makes things interesting when I cock a hip out when I'm standing and I can feel muscles stretching and complaining...not fun.

I'm bored...help me!

Hopefully that will cheer me up as I've been thinking about a story I heard in the news recently. I was listening to the radio and apparently a few years ago, a woman sued a hospital for emotional and physical trauma to herself and her baby. This is the story:

This woman has had two other babies and has breast fed them. She works at a daycare center so she's around little children a lot. Well, when she had her third baby, she still planned on breast feeding, which is fine. The problem came when she woke up one night and realized she hadn't fed nor seen her baby in 6 hours, WAY longer a time period than should be. She called the nurse and the nurse brought in the baby, saying it was fine, but the nurse was acting a bit strangely. A short time later, the head nurse of the nursery came in and told her that the baby had been brought to another woman during the night and had breast fed from the other woman. They told her it was an oversight and unfortunately because they do not know what sort of diseases the baby may have picked up from the other mother's breast milk, they would have to do a year of tests on the baby. These tests consisted of a single blood test every month (aka: a single finger prick). The woman sued the hospital for the cost of the blood tests and for the emotional and physical trauma brought about by the tests. Her emotional trauma as well as the baby's because she was scared that whatever disease the baby had caught would be transferred to her. She also thought that her baby would be not as attached to her because she wasn't able to breast feed it. She said that her entire family exiled her for that year of tests and they are still distant about it. And the punchline: NOBODY CONCERNED HAD A DISEASE

These are my arguments:
1. how did the other woman NOT know the baby she was given was not her own?
2. you cannot get a disease from your baby that has been transferred to it via breast milk
3. any emotional trauma brought to the baby was brought about by the mother.   it has been psychologically proven that if a mother stresses about pain to her baby, the baby will sense that and cry. if the mother remains calm, the baby will remain calm and will not cry.
4. yes the hospital is at fault for giving the wrong baby to the wrong mother but...c'mon! the most the hospital should have to pay for is the blood tests.
5. breast feeding does establish a bond between mother and child butt so can just interacting with the child. for kids that are adopted, bonds are made between the child and the family that are not of that sort.

Hearing this story aggravated me beyond belief. I tried to call in and give my opinion but they ended the section by the time I got through. I will not let drama from now and the past get me down however. Life is stressful enough as it is.

(QuizGalaxy.com)

I don't know which of these I like better. They're the only ones that I figured I could live with in any way, shape, or form. Other choices that it spat out were: George Clooney, Bob Barker, and Jack Black.

W/e.

I had my first final today. Twas conservation biology...thankfully that's all over and done with now so I can relax for chemistry on Thursday.

I've been having...interesting dreams for the past two nights. Two nights ago, I had a dream where "I" (and when I say "I", I mean someone who was apparently supposed to be me but didn't look a thing like) came back from somewhere with a guy that I apparently had a crush on (no idea who the guy was) and he totally blew me off so I'm crying and I make it back to my "room" (a place I have never seen before) and I find my "friend", Ronan Dex (from Stargate: Atlantis), there. I start mumbling random things about how he's defiling the sanctity of the room by touching the walls. I don't know how things got to where he's dry-humping me from behind on a piano but it got there. And somewhere shortly during that scene (which I, the dreamer, am observing), Erin's alarm goes off. After she kills it, what do I think? "I wanna go back to the dream!" ...Well that didn't happen.
Last night, I had a dream where I was in my room at home and I was making out with another fictional character...well, ok the actor's real, but the character isn't. I was making out on my bed with Logan (otherwise known as Wolverine) from X-Men. Both of us were really into it and then all of a sudden, I realize something's off with him and I pulled back but Logan thought I was trying to keep things going so I shoved him back with all my strength and got up off of him and looked at him, saying, What are you? Jean Gray then came along and as she saw both of us, she said that they had been looking for both of us. Someone barged into the room and Logan "protected" me. Jean told him that he need not have done that because I was a mutant as well. At that point, I made my way down the stairs, knowing I was going to be in big trouble in a short amount of time with Logan. Then my alarm woke me up from my dream.
Both of these dreams struck me so much, I wrote them down, in more than one place obviously, and now I have a possibility of two more story lines going. I need to finish off some of my stories. *grumbles*

10:37:32 PM emeraldfire18: so was train hopping fun?
10:37:39 PM linkolin31: oh yeah
10:37:49 PM emeraldfire18: sooo incredibly dangerous
10:38:06 PM linkolin31: eh
10:38:21 PM emeraldfire18: did it start up after you two got off of it?
10:38:32 PM linkolin31: yeah
10:38:40 PM emeraldfire18: lol, then it stopped because of you two
Ten minutes later after other conversation stuff...
11:48:04 PM linkolin31: brb
11:48:06 PM emeraldfire18: k
11:52:16 PM linkolin31: and trainhopping isn't that dangerous
11:52:29 PM linkolin31: did you see how slowly the train was moving?
11:53:24 PM emeraldfire18: trainhopping is always dangerous
11:53:38 PM linkolin31: even when the train isn't moving?
11:53:54 PM emeraldfire18: but it was up until it stopped and then you guys bailed
11:54:02 PM linkolin31: you said always
11:54:13 PM linkolin31: its not dangerous if the train isn't moving
11:54:24 PM linkolin31: so there
11:54:37 PM emeraldfire18: the train outweighs you, it's dangerous
11:54:49 PM linkolin31: umm
11:55:00 PM linkolin31: ...
11:55:07 PM linkolin31: umm
11:55:14 PM emeraldfire18: don't even
11:55:20 PM linkolin31: ?
11:55:21 PM linkolin31: what
11:56:18 PM emeraldfire18: *shakes head* ne'ermind. anyway, I love horses but I'm always careful around them because they weigh enough to cause me a lot of damage...a freight train weighs even more and can easily kill you
11:56:47 PM linkolin31: something that weighs more than me is not always dangerous
11:57:06 PM emeraldfire18: like what?
11:57:28 PM emeraldfire18: I apologize if there's an easy answer...my mind is not working on all wheels for obvious reasons
11:58:09 PM linkolin31: forget it
11:58:40 PM emeraldfire18: tell me
11:59:19 PM linkolin31: i mean you could say that anything is dangerous, it just needs enough speed to do any damage, but theres always the potential for anything to gain enough speed to do harm
12:00:07 AM emeraldfire18: speed isn't necessary though
12:00:13 AM linkolin31: gah
12:00:27 AM emeraldfire18: it's not
12:00:38 AM linkolin31: so everything is dangerous
12:00:56 AM emeraldfire18: essentially yes but some things are actually viewed as such
12:00:59 AM linkolin31: then whats the point of saying that trains are dangerous if everything else is also dangerous
12:01:15 AM linkolin31: gah
12:02:02 AM emeraldfire18: ...because I don't want you to get hurt
12:02:48 AM linkolin31: i don't have probablities of injury for different activities, but I believe it was pretty low here
12:03:17 AM emeraldfire18: you don't think there's a high probability of your getting hit by a car in the winter when sledding down a hill either
12:03:26 AM linkolin31: theres not!
12:03:36 AM linkolin31: christ
12:03:47 AM linkolin31: jason was watching for cars
12:04:03 AM linkolin31: any that were on the road were going extremely slowly
12:04:07 AM emeraldfire18: I was referring to the first time you suggested that and I jacked your sled
12:04:20 AM linkolin31: I was going extremely slowly
12:04:20 AM emeraldfire18: IT'S A HILL!
12:04:27 AM emeraldfire18: IT'S CALLED MOMENTUM
12:04:37 AM emeraldfire18: IT'S CALLED ICE
12:04:39 AM linkolin31: the slope of that hill is much less than that of union
12:04:46 AM emeraldfire18: so?
12:04:52 AM linkolin31: probably going three times faster on union
12:05:21 AM linkolin31: more injuries per person have occured on union - I'm sure - than on the street where i was sleding
12:06:01 AM linkolin31: theres so much more danger going down union and yet you're scared of the same activity on the isolated road?
12:06:43 AM linkolin31: where momentum barely existed with how much friction there was and the lack of slope
12:07:22 AM emeraldfire18: I was taught that it was never a good idea to sled down a road, no matter what the circumstances
12:07:38 AM linkolin31: always question what you're taught no matter what!!!
12:08:10 AM emeraldfire18: you tend to not question when you nearly break your back while sledding
12:08:16 AM linkolin31: (jill beck's convo this year)
12:08:27 AM linkolin31: what does that even mean?
12:08:37 AM emeraldfire18: I nearly broke my back sledding once
12:08:42 AM linkolin31: fine
12:08:49 AM linkolin31: different circumstances
12:09:03 AM emeraldfire18: I had a feeling this would happen
12:09:04 AM linkolin31: more likely to break ones back going down union
12:09:31 AM linkolin31: its so bouncy and such
12:09:55 AM linkolin31: whats happening?
12:10:02 AM emeraldfire18: us doing all of this
12:10:10 AM emeraldfire18: arguing about something in the past
12:10:19 AM linkolin31: arguing isn't bad
12:10:52 AM emeraldfire18: true
12:11:22 AM emeraldfire18: but I've said all that I can and I just end up going in circles...so from my perspective, my arguments become pointless
12:11:40 AM emeraldfire18: because it doesn't get me any further than it did the first time around
12:14:11 AM emeraldfire18: I express my worries about you (despite how silly they seem) because I care a lot
12:15:03 AM linkolin31: ok

Isn't it the case typically when you tell someone that you worry about them because you care about them, that it's a big thing and makes an impact? Why do I get the feeling that was not the case here? This is always the case when I'm "debating" with someone, I feel after a certain point that I'm talking in circles while the other person keeps providing more information. It's times like that that I feel a fool...which I then called myself in my away message which said, the fool is going to sleep before she makes more of a fool of herself. Lincoln reassured me that I wasn't a fool, which made me feel better...slightly.

My conservation bio project is done...now there's just the presentation tomorrow. I am going seventh and the class is at 1230 so I'll have time to go over it before I have to present. It has to be at the most 8 minutes and timing it before I left to come back to school, it would around seven minutes, so I'll be fine... just need to smooth it out.

emeraldfire18 is going to be reincarnated as...

Fire

'What will you be reincarnated as?' at QuizGalaxy.com

I like that answer...

Ok, so Thanksgiving was good...and as predicted, it was the time afterwards that I dread and despise. I have a conservation bio project to finish by Sunday evening. Hopefully, I'll finish it tomorrow though. Which means, I'll be able to relax...mostly on Sunday, which means a non-stressful drive back to Appleton.
We had 14 people (including myself) at Thanksgiving dinner. It was nice to see all those people...especially Jimmy...lol, who had some "love bites" on his neck. I was like, you are so going to be hassled about those. He agreed though he expected the hassling to come more from my uncle but no, it came mostly from my three cousins, who razzed on him mercilessly. When I saw a friend of my family's the day before Thanksgiving during dinner, he asked, What? No friend this year? I smiled and told him that Lincoln was staying back at school for Thanksgiving, and after I explained some reasons why, someone asked, well, why didn't he and his roommate come down? I was like, that would be quite awkward in so many ways.

Why the hell did my heating vent have to end up under my dresser? It's freezing in the winter and hot as heck in the summer. *growls then looks at penguin icon and smiles* I would so do that right now if given the chance. *grins maliciously*

Well I told him last night. Not that I loved him, though I'm sure he got that part as well without my saying it. I was acting distant from him and he asked what was wrong. I told him I was kind of scared that what I was feeling was one-sided. He went quiet but he wrapped his arms around me and did things like kiss my shoulder. I didn't know how to guage those things he did.jjjj

Can't entirely believe I did that

Thu, 12 Oct 2006 03:03:01 GMT

Well, I just talked with Lincoln for around an hour and a half about things. And the outcome was, he really wants to get back with me but he doesn't want to hurt me, and I know that but it makes me happy to hear it anyway. He said he would get back with me but then he would probably do the same thing again, wondering what it would be like dating someone else. And I knew that. As much I want want him back, I know that he would wonder and we would be in this same situation all over again. I told him about how everyone's been giving advice on what I should and shouldn't do and in the end, some will think me a fool and others will think I did a very mature thing, but I did what my heart told me to do (as opposed to my libido). I asked Lincoln to do something and what he originally did wasn't very helpful. I had asked him to close his eyes and imagine his "perfect woman" and he did to a point. He said he wanted someone who was athletic, not too talkative, not overconfident. He couldn't really come up with much else after that other than the fact that he said that he wouldn't be as attracted to a blonde girl, which I already knew. He then opened his eyes and asked me why I asked and whether it came out how I expected or not. I said that it came out as I expected. He asked me why (guess he read my expression and saw that what I thought wasn't the same as what he thought) and I told him that out of the things he listed, I felt I could only apply one of them truly to me and that was the not being overconfident (unless you're talking about beating up guys, that's a different matter). He shook his head in disagreement, which made me smile. I then told him that since I was the one that had to essentially pursue him last year, that if he found a girl other than myself that piqued his interest, that I would help him if he wanted. He looked at me in semi-shock and then nodded and told me that he would accept my help. As I walked back to my dorm, I kept laughing and saying to myself, I can't believe I just did that. I was happy and smiling and laughing. I almost thought myself insane but knowing that I wasn't giving up on Lincoln and knowing he wasn't giving up entirely just yet, made me really happy.

In other news, my friend Ragner needs to slap that bitch around and tell her she can't use him like that.

In other news, I got the solo in a choir song. Granted I'm doing it with another person but I still got it! *dances in chair* Makes me so happy to know that as well. I also get to go home this weekend as my aunt's present to my mom for her birthday was to get her tickets to The Pirate Queen. I'm really excited about seeing that. I'm also excited about seeing my cats and hedgehog again. PIG PIG! lol. It'll be nice to bring back warmer clothing as well. It was snowing earlier. It's like, what the fruit? it's friggin' october! so not allowed to do that! It's supposed to snow tomorrow, and that's going to be fun... not. I know what I'm going to be for Halloween: a ho. And the guy upstairs is going to be my pimp, along with a few other girls. It's totally going to rock. My profile pic for myspace is a picture I took at one point and I have to admit, I've gotten some nice compliments as a result of it.

Ok, off to do...something...probably productive...or not.

Mon, 02 Oct 2006 03:44:58 GMT

I guess the most depressing part about the fact that Lincoln and I broke up is the part where a few days before he broke up with me, I had asked him if he wanted to give up and he said no. Well...so much for that. He gave up and that's what hurts more than the fact that it's over. What's odd is the fact that he's been appearing in my dreams more and more lately. I don't remember what he was doing in my dream last night but the night before in my dream, he was a complete asshole. He was being all mean to me, despite the fact I was being nice to him, and I asked him what his problem was. I don't entirely remember the answer but it was like, You asshole! What lifted my spirits after that part of the dream was when I found myself making out with a guy who teaches sixth grade. In my dream, I took a step back and went, I'm making out with a teacher who teaches sixth grade. And he said, And I'm making out with a woman who's going for her BA in biology. At that point I thought to myself, there is actually nothing wrong with this matching. As this teacher left my room (this scene ironically took place in my bedroom at home), he told me that he knew that just about anything I said wouldn't be truly meant and he was cool with that. So all that made me feel a lot better. When I told Erin, she told me that I should go out to Oktoberfest with her and see if we could "find" this teacher of mine. I was like, oh shit. We didn't find him though the looks that people gave Erin and myself as we walked down College Avenue were quite interesting. We were both dressed up pretty spiffily and people kept giving us the "up down" look where you think they think you're an alien from some planet on the outreaches of the universe. Leslie explained that this is a middle class town so they weren't entirely used to seeing people dressed so "expensively" which made me think, all I'm wearing didn't cost that much. I was wearing a white haltertop, a black duster, a skirt, and my leather boots (which cost 20 dollars).

My parting shot to Lincoln after he broke up with me was, I guess my worst fear came true... this is my relationship with Michael all over again. He asked me what I meant and I explained that with Michael, the relationship was purely physical and from what Lincoln had told me (that once when we were making out after getting back to school, the making out part "wasn't as good"), it was the same thing. He had no comment to that I believe.

Friday night after Lincoln broke up with me, Emily wanted to take me swing dancing and she thought I'd be happy if I dressed up really nicely. Well I did dress up nicely... and very seductively. She insisted when she saw me that she take pictures. So I got my camera and she took a few pictures of me. One of them is now the main picture for my Fb profile and for my Myspace profile. I've gotten some really good compliments about it so far about it. Well, we went to swing dancing and I danced with a few people, including Erik, and he kept saying that Lincoln was a jerk for breaking up with me. It made me laugh a lot. Only problem was, looking at the people dancing, I remembered last year around Valentine's Day when Lincoln and I were broken up and we were both at a dance and it just took all the wind out of my sails. That's one thing that kinda bugged me about him. He dances but idk...he just didn't seem to be willing to like, grind. I don't ask for a guy who can dance to the same caliber I can, though it would be nice, but if he could grind with me and have fun, it would rock.

Well, if he comes back, I'm not sure if I'll take him back due to all the shit he's already pulled on me. But if he's figured out what he wants, then I may take him back. But only then as I don't know if I'll be able to deal with more heartbreak from him.

Sat, 30 Sep 2006 17:12:55 GMT

Well, he called it off. The pairing that made everyone happy has broken. Well...at least my mom will be happy lol. He said he "changed" over the summer. He also said one time when he and I were "snogging" that it "wasn't as good" which makes me roll my eyes and think, "Did you really think something like that would kick back into high gear in the first week after not seeing one another for three months?" But I guess he did. Oh well, there's a small part of me that is relieved that this happened. I've been nervous about his doing this for some time. Part of my mind goes, What if...? But I'm not going to dwell on that. I'm in too good a mood right now to let myself dwell on What ifs. I walked through Oktoberfest to hand in my chemistry lab and hearing all the music and seeing all the crafts made me really happy.

Maybe I'll post more to this later but right now I'm too distracted by the awesome tunes coming from my computer :P

Sun, 24 Sep 2006 04:41:29 GMT

It's not that I'm afraid of getting hurt again...ok so that factors in but...I really would like him to figure out what he feels. Keeping me in limbo doesn't make me feel much better than me knowing that he doesn't care about me. I told him that if he didn't feel obligated to say "I love you" to me that it would be heartfelt and not just saying it because he felt he was obligated. And this makes me feel even worse because it makes me doubt whether he meant it before when he'd say it to me. The wanderings of the idle mind can get one in a worse hole than one is already in. And "I care about you" doesn't feel very good because "care" doesn't have the same...*tries to think of word* oomph that "love" does.
It probably wasn't the best thing either when he said "I love you" to me when we got back to school for me to pull the rug out from under him. I told him that I wasn't sure how much credence to put in those words anymore. He just looked at me in confusion and shock and asked, What? I repeated what I said and added that he had pulled the "I'm not sure what I'm feeling" card twice before on me. At a later time I told him that the first time he said it, I was hurt deeply. The second time, I was hurt and angered. When he and I talked about this, he said, it probably needed to be said. I felt bad though because as I got down from the bed and looked at him the thought that ran through my mind was, oh shit, I just kicked the puppy.
There are times I feel like Eponine from Les Miserables. She loves a man but the feelings are not returned.

"And now I'm all alone again
No one to turn, no one to go to
Without a home, without a friend
Without a face to say Hello to
And now the night is near
And I can make believe he's here
Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head

On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him til morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way
I close my eyes and he has found me

In the rain
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights
Are misty in the river
In the darkness
The trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me
Forever and forever

And I know
It's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself
And not to him
And although
I know that he is blind
Still I say
There's a way for us

I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers

I love him
But everyday I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world will go on turning
The world is full of happiness
That I have never known

I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own"

And as an overall result of his being confused, I'm confused and it's making things difficult for me. Not schoolwise but mentally. Could just be that it was weird for me to sleep in the same bed with him again after three months of sleeping in my own bed with no other companion but my bear and the occasional cat (who would purr and drool on me to get me to wake up and pay attention to her). So it could just be that I have to get used to that all over again but it's making me question my own feelings, which makes me feel...empty. Hopefully I'll feel better after sleeping in my own bed.

I found out today that my mom broke her hand. She was riding (as in horseback riding) and she asked the horse to walk. Well the horse had almost reached the walk when she caught her toe and tripped. Both horse and my mom fell down. The horse fortunately was fine, probably a little startled, but my mom broke the bone between the knuckle and wrist of her left pinky. She's right-handed so she doesn't need to worry about not being able to write, though I expect she won't be able to type very well through the cast she'll have for six weeks. Perhaps my brother or dad could type for her, or she could call me instead. There's certainly little that would be able to stop you from dialing a phone with one hand. I can imagine though that it'll make her job as Parent Association President a little more difficult, especially considering she doesn't really want to be the president for a third year in a row. Having not known that she would have to be president for another year, she agreed this year to run the school store as well at my old high school, which is certainly an adventure in and of itself. There are school supplies like pencils, erasers, binders, and things like that and then there are also clothes, bumper stickers, hats, gloves, etc. It's really a cool place, certainly get to hear lots of gossip standing in there as it's where a lot of the middle schoolers hang out during lunch once they're done eating. My mom's heard some very interesting things come out of there already like a kid wanting to pull $150 out of his account (we open a school account for them so they don't have to pay with money every time they want to get something)... now that's a lot of money to begin with. He wanted the money so he could buy shoes for the trip to the Canada boundry waters. When asked why he couldn't just ask his mom, his response was, My mom says I have enough shoes already. Ah ha! We have gotten the truth out at last! lol.

I hope that everything goes smoothly this term. If not, *shivers* I'd rather not be around when the shit hits the fan.

Well, other than a few little upsets, the first few days of classes have gone down without a hitch. My classes for this term are (in order of when they happen during the day): german, chemistry, and conservation biology. I'm excited about all of them. I got into Chorale again. It would have been cool if I had gotten into Women's Choir but *shrugs* I love Chorale so I'm happy. I know I don't have the voice for Concert Choir and after having heard myself on a recording, I doubt I'd even be able to get into Women's Choir but as I said, Chorale makes me just as happy. I'm just a little bored right now so there's going to be some quizzes on here now.

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.

You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You're feeling self centered.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

I'm not sure I agree with all of those. Could just be a result of the weather...it's certainly got everyone in a lazy mood.

You Are More Mild Than Wild

You're confident, and you really aren't concerned with how "hot" you are.
Other people's ideas of what's sexy don't concern you. And this is exactly what makes you attractive.

Are You Hot?

Yay!

You Are Animal

A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts.
You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary.
But you sure can beat a good drum.
"Kill! Kill!"

The Muppet Personality Test

Umm...yeah *looks around for a chicken to kill*

You Are 60% Weird

You're so weird, you think you're *totally* normal. Right?
But you wig out even the biggest of circus freaks!

How Weird Are You?

...This is making me anxious...

Ok, back to normal stuff. *pauses and thinks about the quiz earlier then shakes self out of mental pathway* Lincoln's roommate, Kazuki, gave him presents: a cell phone key chain and something else that I don't remember. The next day when I went over to their room, Kazuki was like, Oh I forgot I have presents for you. I was like, *stunned*. He then gave me a cloth Japanese fan and this little thing called a Tomy. It's really cute. It doesn't do a lot, just rocks its head side to side and smiles.

Mon, 04 Sep 2006 22:30:49 GMT

Ok, I want the fuck out of here. I want to get back to school now. I will miss my brother and cats and parents but there's too much tension and pain here. I made the mistake of talking to he who sacrificed his happiness for me today. He's become so withdrawn around me that we can't have a regular conversation about anything before things become very silent between us. He says he's getting over the pain from his making the decision for me to stay with Lincoln instead of being with him but my opinion is: he's running from the pain. He says he's been ridiculed all his life and I just think, So? I was bullied (literally kicked and punched) all throughout elementary school by an older kid every day on the bus to and from school. When I fought back, he just hit harder. The principal and the bus driver didn't even help. He'd stop for a day or two then come back and knock me around some more. I don't know how many bruises and scratches I got from him but my parents probably didn't think about them twice due to my being so active when young. And also from elementary school through my sophomore year of high school, I was laughed at (in front of and behind my back). I know I sound very... well stupid to be saying all this. Sounds like a sob story and it makes me mad to realize how much I've talked about this but, c'mon. If someone thinks their life is so bad and that they can't get anywhere and there's someone who has for the most part been there and done that and pulled themselves out of the darkness, what makes them think that they can't do the same thing except their own self-pity? *sighs* But I guess no point in trying to help someone who doesn't want to be helped.

Les took this quiz and all I can say is, she fits inside and out. Mine doesn't fit how I look outwardly, though I certainly wouldn't mind it in the least. The personality though fits... how well is for someone else to decide :P

You're comfortable and relaxed anywhere – whether it's dressing up for the prom or taking care of baby animals on a farm. Your inner self has really cute freckles. You're good at starting trouble and getting away with it. You've got a wild, energetic streak that makes people want you around.

I like freckles and red hair. lol I wonder why *rolls eyes*

Today was my last day working at the zoo near my house, near being a relative term. As I walked away from the Children's Zoo towards my car in a tanktop, ripped jeans, and sandals, I realized I wouldn't be walking through those gates in that uniform and seeing all those people I came to work well with until next summer. It was physically and mentally trying at times but I always got up every day that I had to work and worked hard. Sure there were times where I wanted to snap at a few of my superiors but I didn't. For example, we weren't allowed to start work before 7am (if working the 7-4 shift). I thought that made sense and one day, I looked at my watch and it was one minute before 7. I thought that was close enough and got my stuff. One of the full-time keepers came up to me and said, I don't know if someone told you but no one's allowed to start work or even gather up the stuff before 7. I looked at my watch and then at her and said, So I have to stand here for one more minute? She nodded in the affirmative and walked away. I was like, for Pete's sake, it's one friggin' minute! All of the seasonals agreed that if she was closing Children's Zoo, there was no standing by the clock as she'd get all in a tizzy, and she would too if you weren't doing something productive every minute of your time. But either way, she was really nice and I had no problem with her overall. The point of all this was: I'll miss being there and as I realized that it wouldn't be until next summer that I'd be coming back there (other than to return my ID and paperwork), I almost started crying.
For my last day, I had to return my uniforms (7 shirts, 7 shorts), my zoo ID, and some paperwork if we were planning on coming back next year. Well, having thought about all of this for all of yesterday, it invaded my thoughts even as I slept. I got up at one point and having thought my alarm went off, I hit the button and got up. I thought I felt pretty good and well-rested. So I closed my bedroom door and turned on the lights and then something struck me as off and I looked at the clock. It said it was 1230 am. I was like, I'm going back to sleep! I had gone to sleep at 1030 pm. Then I woke up at 2 am. Then again at 3 am. It was like, just let me sleep! Then my alarm goes off and I hit the button (wrong one unfortunately as it went off 10 minutes later). I got dressed, brushed my hair, put in my contacts, etc. Then I folded up my uniforms (minus the one I was wearing) and put them in a bag. I went downstaris and grabbed a breakfast cereal bar for breakfast. Well, I forgot about the ID (or to be exact, I thought it was in my backpack which was already in my car) and the paperwork as I drove off, I realized that I had left my wallet on the couch in the living room. I figured I'd be fine... yeah right. Well when I got to the zoo, I realized that as a result of my not bringing my wallet, I didn't have money to buy gas for the trip back home and also, no money for food. Also after I got to the zoo, I found that my ID was NOT in my backpack. They'll hold my last paycheck until I return my ID, which makes sense. But now that I've looked through my room, in the places where I would have placed my ID, I find that it's not there. I hope it's in my car, otherwise I'm in trouble. Well, as I started driving home, I realized that there was no way I was going to make it home with just the gas I had in the tank. So I pull over in a White Castle parking lot next to a Marathon gas station. I go inside and ask if there's a phone, which there isn't but there might be one at the BK a short way down the block. I go past the gas station and go inside BK. No phone there. As I'm swearing and muttering back to my car, I see a sign for a telephone. I got excited and then saw it was at the Marathon station. I was like, You have got to be kidding me! I walked right past it? I called home collect (obviously as I had no money on me) and asked my mom to please come drive up there and give me money for gas. She showed up about 40 minutes later and I got my gas and drove home.
So, today was an interesting day to say the least. Oh, and also as I'm working in the chicken coop, my immediate superior, Tim, comes walking over. He had a strict look on his face and I thought, uh oh. He asked me if I'd been on the run all summer, I said I had. He then asked me that I had done a pretty good job thus far, and I said that I had. I thought I was in big trouble for something. His face then broke out in a large grin and he said, today you have outdone yourself. way to go out with a bang. I relaxed and said, Tim you scared the crap outta me! He apologized while laughing and then went back to work. I was like, I need to get revenge on him someday for his tricks he's played on me.

*looks at phone expectantly* I know staring at this thing and having it ring is about as likely as a snowball surviving the depths of the underworld but you never know, it just might freeze over and the cell might ring. *shrugs*

Something I started posting a week or so ago:
I had an absolute blast last night. There were a few times where I was asked if I was ok, to which I gave the response, I'm fine...really. I don't think they entirely believed it but oh well. I got to see three of my friends from high school and we all played mini-golf together. I lost but was voted "Most Accurate" with my shots, which makes me smile. But as a result of the fact that my ex was there, I had to restrain myself from openly flirting with him and/or seducing him. I am ashamed that I even considered the thought of seducing him away from his current gf but I think it comes from the fact that I'm either lonely (possible) or I'm simply hormone deprived. Either way, I had a dream early this morning pertaining to those that I have loved and somewhat lost. The guy from the zoo was in it and we were making out. We were both in our underwear and he was grinding into me from behind. When I turned around, he turned into my ex. In the dream, I wasn't at all phased by this. Looking back on it, I think, "Oh shit."

Continuing with life:
You know those experiences you have that seem normal at the time but a second later you think, wtf just happened? Well I had one yesterday. I was at work and in an area called Zoo at Home. There are rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, birds, snakes, and geckos in there. I had been holding a rat and these two guys were asking me questions about where the snakes were outside. I told them where they were and they thanked me. About five minutes later, I was relieved and went to go to my next post. One of the guys who had been in there earlier asking about the snakes was standing outside and when he saw me, he came over and stopped me. I knew he was foreign so he left a word or two out as he spoke before and this was no exception. I thought he was going to ask me more questions about the snakes... he didn't. What he did ask me was, Do you have boyfriend? Now, he was speaking quietly and with an accent so I didn't entirely hear him and so I asked him to repeat his question. He did so and I started a little but I smiled and said, Yes, I have a boyfriend. He smiled back and said, So sorry, and then walked off. As I walked off to my next post, my mind went, Wait a minute, I just basically got asked out by a guest! I was reeling about it for 15 minutes. It was funny but took me totally by surprise. When recounting this story to someone online, they asked, how many guys have had a thing for you? I thought about it and said, including my ex and my current bf... 5 guys that I know of. Her response was, must be nice to have all those guys liking you. It's like, if you say so. Upon realizing this, I just didn't really seem to care that I had so many admirers, which strikes me as a little odd now.

I have to admit that I have heard some very amusing stories while working at the zoo. One of them will always make me laugh hard. We have four male goats who have all their parts still, so they're our breeding males. All of our other male goats have been "fixed" so they're not as... well horny (no pun intended) and aggressive. As our goats are technically desert animals, they have the behavior of drinking their urine for nutrients and water. Granted, this is gross but they'll do it whether we want them to or not. Our four breeding males seem to like their urine best straight from the tap... including their own. *hopes people get the hint at what she's getting at* But just to make sure that it's not missed, they will drink from the other goats as well. Before I continue, I should say that there are two different kinds of goats at the zoo: nubian and pygmy goats. The nubian goats are tall and have floppy ears and the pygmy goats are obviously shorter. Well one day, a guest pointed out to a keeper passing by, Awww how cute! They're nursing! The keeper paused for a second and then said, No, they're all males. She then walked off before the guest could respond. I can only imagine the reaction though. I'm sure it would make the story even more amusing to know what the guest's reaction was but even without that, the story is quite amusing.

I just want to say this: a man sacrificing his feelings for a girl who is going out with another guy is valiant. said act however when done with the knowledge that the girl really likes him, but still does the act so she can be happy is valiant as well... and stupid. Such an act has occurred involving me. And I fear I have lost a dear friend, temporarily anyway. He sacrificed himself so I would be "happy". That's a bit difficult when I know (or at least have a very good idea) what he's feeling now. Granted I was saved from making a big decision with seemingly no good way out, but at a high cost. I am angry and depressed now as a result. But I keep my head up and count down the days until I can be distracted by other things. The next person that makes such a decision for me will not go unscathed... and I am serious when I say that.

This morning I had one of the more psychologically disturbing dreams ever. Not only were there vampires out to kill me and others I was with, but also, I killed in my dream. The parts I remember most vividly are where me and the other people I was with were running from these vampires that wanted to kill us, I don't know why. But we ran down this hill and there were vehicles of various sorts at the bottom of the hill. There was a vampire close behind us and I turned and fought him for a short time, ending in a kick that sent him sprawling on the ground, and then hopped on a motorcycle with my bf (or at least so he was in my dream). We took off around the streets, which of course were soaked with rain, so we're skidding all over the place and quickly learned to compensate for the drifting. At one point, we needed to get over these cars that were blocking the road ahead of us, and so I said for both of us to jump, with the bike, and we did and cleared over the cars. After landing and arriving at our destination, the next part I remember is my having to kill this girl who was also a Master Vampire. Now, I realized in my dream that this was a dream and that it was the second time I'd had this one (where I needed to kill this girl who was a vampire). She asked me, Why do you do this? and I said, No more pain, no more suffering. She then died, I strangled her (which should make no sense whatsoever considering it was a vampire) and found that I needed to strangle someone else. I don't remember who but it must have been someone I cared about as tears were streaming down my face at the thought of having to do it. Overall, it was creepy. Granted not as disturbing as the dreams where my bf has killed me in some way but still enough to make one hesitate.
