February 1st, 2004, 12:04 a.m. - Danger, Will Robinson!
This is bad. There's a virus going around the school's network and I know for a fact that at one point it was in my email account because I received a notice that a message I'd sent couldn't be delivered, but the recipient was no one I'd ever sent anything to. And now I keep getting empty emails from Easternites with attachments that most definitely contain viruses. I'm just going to not open attachments ever again. Oh, and, um...if you get any attachments from me, don't open them, mmkay?
February 3rd, 2004, 6:34 p.m. - It's getting hot in herrre
So, they finally turned the heat on. Only now it's 38 degrees outside and I don't need the heat anymore. It feels like a sauna in here. What the--?
February 6th, 2004, 1:08 a.m. - Heartbreaker, risk-taker
Friday Five:
1. What's the most daring thing you've ever done? Honestly, going to college 150 miles from home was daring for me. It might sound lame, but that's what I'm going with.
2. What one thing would you like to try that your mother/friend/significant other would never approve of? Maybe get a tattoo or pierce something. (Calm down, Dad, I'm not going to do it.)
3. On a scale of 1-10, what's your risk factor? (1=never take risks, 10=it's a lifestyle) 2. Maybe 4 if I'm in a weird mood.
4. What's the best thing that's ever happened to you as a result of being bold/risky? If we stick with the college thing, I met a lot of great people that I am very happy to have in my life.
5. ...And what's the worst? I also met a lot of not so great people that I could have done without knowing.
February 12th, 2004, 4:19 p.m. - Thank you so much for telling me that
I just wanted to say that I have nothing to say. :)
February 13th, 2004, 1:02 a.m. - Lucky 13
1. Are you superstitious? No
2. What extremes have you heard of someone going to in the name of superstition? Don't baseball players wear the same socks without washing them so that they can keep winning?
3. Believer or not, what's your favorite superstition? I don't have a favorite. What's up with this question?
4. Do you believe in luck? If yes, do you have a lucky number/article of clothing/ritual? Not really
5. Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not? No - I don't think that people can predict the future
February 14th, 2004, 12:29 a.m. - Ho hum
Happy Valentine's Day! Or something.
February 19th, 2004, 6:02 p.m. - The countdown begins
Spring Break starts in 8 days. Before then, I have two tests (one of them take-home) and a 10-page paper. If I'm able to pull myself out from under the massive pile of paper under which I will no doubt soon be buried by this time next week, I'll let you know.
February 20th, 2004, 12:36 a.m. - Just when you thought it was safe, another...
Friday Five:
When was the last time you...
1. ...went to the doctor? I went a few times over Christmas break...what was that, 2 months ago?
2. ...went to the dentist? Ooh, 6 months! Time to make another appointment.
3. ...filled your gas tank? Probably right before I came back from Christmas break.
4. ...got enough sleep? Ha ha ha ha haaaa! That's a good one! (Actually, I usually get enough or almost enough sleep, but come on. I'm in college. Don't ask me stuff like that.)
5. ...backed up your computer? That reminds me...
February 21st, 2004, 1:57 p.m. - Hitting the nail on the head
This is really sweet: A couple of days ago I was telling Elissa and Tara about how, at some point in the recent past, I drove over a nail, which decided to attach itself to my tire like a parasite and drain the life out of it. I thought something was wrong with a tire but didn't pay much attention to it until some guy in the parking lot of Wawa told me my tire looked flat last week, then realized it was because there was a nail in it. So I'd been driving around with a nail in my tire for at least two weeks. (This shows you how often I use my car.) Anyway, we were talking about where I could go to get it fixed, whether I should get it repaired or just get a new tire, what I could do myself, etc. (I found my spare tire in my trunk, so that's not a problem anymore.) Then, this afternoon, Tara comes to my room and tells me that she saw my car in the parking lot and my tire's flat. How sweet of her to let me know before I go drive it! I just thought that was really nice of her. And then she said that if I need to go anywhere before I fix it, I can just let her know! Seriously, nicest thing ever. Thanks, Tara!
11:31 p.m. - What's up with Beppe's unconscious?
Phoneix12: ummm...how about Jesus was in my dream last night
February 23rd, 2004, 9:42 p.m. - Let the good times roll
Whitt helped me change my tire! Thanks, Whitt! (Oh, and Jess and Lori helped, too. Heh.)
February 24th, 2004, 4:51 p.m. - Let that ill-gotten donut be forever on your head!
Today is Donut Day. It's some Pennsylvania Dutch thing. Has something to do with the day before Ash Wednesday (which most people call Fat Tuesday, but I don't think they do). Cathy thought last Tuesday was Donut Day, and we didn't realize that it wasn't until halfway through celebrating. But this week we're sure. The celebration, by the way, involves...eating donuts. Hey, something I'm good at!
6:32 - Big donut hole for my troubles
Dude, I got stood up!
February 25th, 2004, 10:59 p.m. - Ashes, ashes
Happy Ash Wednesday!
I feel like there's something I should be doing. I think it's because I've been writing papers all week and now that I'm done it's like...there's an emptiness inside me and I can't fill it! Or, something not quite so dramatic.
February 28th, 2004, 11:22 p.m. - Well, when are we gonna get rowdy?
Thank God for spring break.
luckyjenpc: Awesome!
Phoneix12: yeah...(I guess) He decided that he liked looking like Jim Caviesel and so He was him...
luckyjenpc: Oh...so it was really a dream about Jim Caviezel
Phoneix12: no...It was Jesus...he just looked like Jim Caviezel
luckyjenpc: Uh-huh. That's what you told God, right?
Phoneix12: when?
luckyjenpc: When you tried to explain why you were dreaming about a hot guy and pretending you were dreaming about His Son.
Phoneix12: hehe. I don't have to explain..he probably saw it
luckyjenpc: True
luckyjenpc: He must approve of Jim Caviezel playing Jesus, then
Phoneix12: he probably had a good laugh
luckyjenpc: Heh
Phoneix12: I dunno...he isn't dead yet
luckyjenpc: lol
luckyjenpc: I guess that would be a good sign that you made a bad decision. You play Christ and God smites you.
Phoneix12: exactly! That was I was going to say...at least he wasn't smited...
luckyjenpc: No smite = good
Phoneix12: him or Mel Gibson
Phoneix12: yep...alive= good
