check yourself.

serious chain mail.

The MESSAGE:
1. ALWAYS lock your car doors, even if you're gone for just a second!

2. Check underneath your car when approaching it for reentry, and check
in the back before getting in.

3. general vicinity, particularly at night!
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ , THIS IS HAPPENING AGAIN!!!

I am sure everyone has seen this, but they are doing this again. A
friend stopped at a pay-at-the-pump gas station to get gas. Once she filled her
gas tank and after paying at the pump and starting to leave, the voice of
the attendant inside came over the speaker. He told her that something happened with her card and that she needed to come inside to pay. The
lady was confused because the transaction showed complete and approved. She relayed that to him and was getting ready to leave but the attendant, once again, urged her to come in to pay or there'd be trouble. She proceeded to go inside and started arguing with the attendant about his threat. He told her to calm down and listen carefully:

He said that while she was pumping gas, a guy slipped into the back seat
of her car on the other side and the attendant had already called the
police.

She became frightened and looked out in time to see her car door open and the guy slip out. The report is that the new gang initiation thing is to bring back a woman and/or her car.. One way they are doing this is crawling under women's cars while they're pumping gas or at grocery stores in the nighttime. The other way is slipping into unattended cars and kidnapping the women.

Please pass this on to other women, young and old alike. Be extra careful
going to and from your car at night. If at all possible, don't go alone!
This is real!!

I'm sorry.

I feel the need to apologize for my recent entries being a little choppy. I have been slacking lately. I don't have the most action packed life. So, I will pour myself into this blog and it may not make sense. But, it's a blog. It doesn't have to make sense, be grammatically correct, or completely factual.

I saw my stalker today in the Cafeteria and he was staring at me. But, since I was turned around I didn't have to worry about him getting sexually aroused at the sight of me eating an ice cream cone. But, yes he is still fulfilling his stalker duties.

I am worried about Halloween. I haven't done costumes in years and not only am I wearing a costume... I'm wearing a skimpy one at that. All I know is I can't let myself drink to much in that outfit. I will get raped. It wouldn't be too hard either. I'm attending three parties and they are on three different days so that is a lot of action. I am also getting volunteer hours to hand out candy Sunday night on campus. No dressing up for that. A French maid costume is just a little inappropriate.

In English class on Friday we had to rate peoples papers from best to worst. Well the papers had our names on them, so ratings can be biased. I ended up with a 4 on mine. I knew I wouldn't have a 1 because Brian Casner is an amazing writer. Yes, mine was rated the worst. I think it wasn't judged correctly. Mine was the right length, in MLA format, edited by my friend who is amazing, and was pretty mind blowing. I gave bad marks to the people who didn't write the three pages; because that is not fair. Then I gave bad marks to people who don't know MLA format in English 1020 because they are failures at life, and then I gave bad marks to people who use this as a thesis statement (This story is called "A Rose for Emily" and was Written by: William Faulkner.) Really? I had no clue. I honestly think the reason I got bad marks is because I'm a "bitch". I don't talk to people except the select few I was already friends with, the only person I'm nice to is those few and the teacher, and I mean mug people who ask stupid questions that hold us all in the class.

One of the girls in that class is crazy. I honestly think she has serious issues. She is extremely loud and talks about the nastiest things. If someone had already told her that we didn't want to hear it, she'd still go on and on and on. Then I found out that she lived in my building. I was in the lobby with my friends and we were having a conversation about what we want done with our bodies after we die and then I felt this little tap on my shoulder. "Hey, I didn't know you lived here, which room do you live in?" I honestly didn't want her to know because she is loud and I don't want her to try to knock and ask for a cup of sugar or dryer sheets. Then, I said,"I don't want you to know where I live." Then she said, "Want to hang out later?" and then I said, "I'll probably be busy."

At least, I was honest and she was in the group next to the one that marked mine. I'm sure she said something. Oh yes and did I mention that there were no comments or corrections on mine? After revising it again I realized that it was kind of sexist towards both sexes and that everyone in that class except for a select few that get me probably think I'm a bitch.

Clean Sweep

So I spent the majority of tonight cleaning my room. it was a disaster. i get too busy over the week to keep it up. It looks good and I am happy.

Secret Recipe Society

I need to update my recipe website and you guys should check it out.

Hopeless Romantics... Know Your Place.

Hopeless Romantics are annoying enough. But, what is even more annoying is when they want to tamper with your love lives.

Just because I'm hanging out with a person who happens to be male, does not mean I am romantically interested.

If you are wondering... keep your thoughts to yourself or ask me when the person is long gone.

Don't talk about how pretty I am and ask him if he thinks I'm pretty. This only makes me feel worse.

Don't give the poor guy false hopes, when you don't know anything about my love life.
(ex: I might be talking to someone, I might be gay, I might have an unofficial boyfriend, or I just might not be interested.)

Don't ask me if I'm interested, if the guy is right there. That will make me seem like a bitch if I say No.



These are normal social etiquette tips.

Also, don't do this to someone I'm in a professional organization with... that I can't avoid.

Thank you for your help hopeless romantic.

Rainy Days

It has been raining all day. I also played in the rain with Pumpkin and Phillip. I hope I don't get sick. Today was Caleb's birthday. We went out to dinner with him at Longhorns and I cut him a few lines on a bread plate with sugar. For someone who has only seen cocaine in the movies, I can cut a mean line. Katie Weiss was the best though.

Goodnight Moon

I'm an ENTJ

ENTJs in Love
ENTJs make aggressive, enthusiastic partners who take their commitments very seriously. As in other aspects of their life, they want to be the leader in the relationship, and take on responsibility for making things work. They are creative leaders, and are likely to have relationships which promote constant growth and learning. Since they are constantly scanning the environment for new ideas and things worth learning, the ENTJ may frequently re-define the "rules" of the relationship, although their commitment remains constant. If it becomes very clear to them that the relationship no longer offers any chance of growth or learning, the ENTJ will leave the situation, and not look back.

Romantically, the ENTJ is robust, imaginative and enthusiastic. Their natural instinct to lead will be apparent in this arena as well as other areas of life, and they will lead their partner on creative lovemaking adventures, where the focus is on mutual learning and affection sharing. They're likely to expect romance on a relatively scheduled basis.

The ENTJ does not usually have a problem with self-confidence and is not especially emotionally needy. Although they enjoy being told that they are loved and appreciated, they don't need to hear these types of avowals as often as most other types. If they are partnered with a Feeling type, they are probably not likely to fulfill their partner's needs for intimate words without conscious effort. Even with effort, the ENTJ may have problems being aware of other's emotional needs, and they most likely won't understand those needs even if they are aware of them.

In general, the ENTJ has a lot to offer to their intimate relationships. They're dedicated and enthusiastic, and willing to put forth a lot of effort to make things work out. They take on responsibility and accountability, and expect to be in charge. Their relationship will be one based on mutual respect, constant growth and development.

ENTJs are natural born leaders. They live in a world of possibilities where they see all sorts challenges to be surmounted, and they want to be the ones responsible for surmounting them. They have a drive for leadership, which is well-served by their quickness to grasp complexities, their ability to absorb a large amount of impersonal information, and their quick and decisive judgments. They are "take charge" people.

ENTJs are very career-focused, and fit into the corporate world quite naturally. They are constantly scanning their environment for potential problems which they can turn into solutions. They generally see things from a long-range perspective, and are usually successful at identifying plans to turn problems around - especially problems of a corporate nature. ENTJs are usually successful in the business world, because they are so driven to leadership. They're tireless in their efforts on the job, and driven to visualize where an organization is headed. For these reasons, they are natural corporate leaders.

ENTJs love to interact with people. As Extroverts, they're energized and stimulated primarily externally. There's nothing more enjoyable and satisfying to the ENTJ than having a lively, challenging conversation. They especially respect people who are able to stand up to the ENTJ, and argue persuasively for their point of view. There aren't too many people who will do so, however, because the ENTJ is a very forceful and dynamic presence who has a tremendous amount of self-confidence and excellent verbal communication skills. Even the most confident individuals may experience moments of self-doubt when debating a point with an ENTJ.

ENTJs want their home to be beautiful, well-furnished, and efficiently run. They're likely to place much emphasis on their children being well-educated and structured, to desire a congenial and devoted relationship with their spouse. At home, the ENTJ needs to be in charge as much as he or she does in their career. The ENTJ is likely best paired with someone who has a strong self-image, who is also a Thinking type. Because the ENTJ is primarily focused on their careers, some ENTJs have a problem with being constantly absent from home, physically or mentally.

ENTJs enjoy an active and diverse lifestyle. They are likely to be in extracurricular activities and often function as the team captain, the president, or the leader. They pursue leadership roles very directly and have difficulty following others unless those individuals demonstrate more competence than they themselves have. Even then, it may be tough for the ENTJ to follow long.

For the ENTJ, love needs to fit into the overall picture and may become subservient to their larger goals. Love is always within the context of what the relationship is. One ENTJ stated, "I don't allow love to course freely through my body. God forbid that it should control me rather than I control it!" Love means a match between the ENTJ's needs and what the partner provides. The loved one is, in a sense, an extension of the ENTJ's vision, preferably acting in a supportive, not competing, role. ENTJs tend to make rigorous demands of love. While they may fall in love easily, they maintain that love only if the other person is willing to accept the ENTJ's directness and need for independence.

ENTJs expect to have their needs met in relationships, while maintaining their independence. When the partner can no longer do that, it is logical for them to sever ties and to move on. However, when ENTJs are scorned by others, they may feel a passionate devastation and a strong sense of loss that is seldom shared with others. However, this sense of loss and gloom generally lasts only a short period before they are ready to move on.

Special Delivery.

Okay, I am aware that I did not blog last night. But, I am blogging now. I'll write two blogs today. Last night I went to a hospital in Dickson to see my RA's sister's baby get delivered. It was kind of like a television sitcom. We got the call at O'Charley's and then we all packed ourselves in her car and drove off. We had so much fun in the hospital. Me and one of my friends we're scoping out hot doctors, chugging energy drinks from the machine, exploring the hospital, and riding in wheel chairs. We ended up leaving before the baby was ready to go because we had class. I would have taken a picture of that baby if I could have and said, "Sorry, my sister had a baby. So, I couldn't make it."

APSU on ESPNU

Last night was crazy. I'm sorry that I didn't have a blog up. My computer froze and I did not feel like re-writing. Our school had a football came that was on ESPNU. We lost, but the real action was not video taped. There was an altercation between a student and an older non-trad who was probably 40. It went from the non-trad wanting to sit down and this guys feet being in the way, to the non-trad being an ass and calling him a "redneck". Not to mention, the agriculture fraternity was sitting behind him. It blew up. Next thing you know everyone is staring at this guy, half are booing and yelling obscenities. It lasted a few minutes, this guy became the half-time show.

Other than that, I think I was on ESPN. The first time I was behind the Sigma Chi flag, then I got part of my hand and an AP Peay Pride flag in it.

biology and blind date suggestions

My brain is feeling a little dead right now. I can't even remember what I was doing this time yesterday. Midterms are killing me. I've spent every break from class/meetings studying. I think I did okay on my Biology test, but I don't feel that strongly about it. I have nothing right now, so I'll give an even biggger excerpt out of my I Like You book:

Blind Date Conversational Suggestions:
Don't ask hard questions or questions
that involve a lot of thinking, such as:

*Does the sun make noise?

*Do you tip a cobbler?

*How do you teach hope?

*When can we see eachother again?

Don't Assume Things
*Where did you go to high school?
(Maybe he didn't.)

*What does your father do?
(Maybe his was murdered.)

*Who did you vote for?
(Don't assume he's allowed to.)

*What do you think about my hospitality
book? (Don't assume he can read.)

Other Don'ts
*Don't tell everything about yourself,
save it for your gynecologist.

*Don't cry.

*If you are drunk, don't call him
after he leaves.

*Don't dress too young.

*Don't act too self-sufficient, you'll
drive him away.

*Don't answer the door in a wedding
dress and veil, he might not think
you're joking.

*Be ready when your date arrives; don't
pick that time to hop in the shower.

*Don't be a jabber jaw. You learn
more by listening than by talking.
(However, if your date is a poor story-
teller, it's best to sit there silent.)

Remember...
*Shower perks you up.
*Bath relaxes you.

Photosynthesis

I spent the majority of the day studying for my biology exam tomorrow. I'm a little nervous about it. I keep reading the note cards and I don't really comprehend anything but photosynthesis, reproduction, and some aspects of mitosis. I know mitosis has to do with chromosomes creating daughter cells in the ovaries and gonads. I still don't fully comprehend cellular respiration. Enough of this Biology crap.





Excerpt from I Like You:

Shop Talk

* Don't buy fish on Sunday.

* If you do not work 9 to 5, go shopping 9 to 5. The Same
applies to laundry, be considerate.

* When ordering in a deli, announce loudly how many items
you'll be ordering so customers behind you know what to expect
and won't be irritated. The same applies to chocolate shops.

* Government checks are issued on the 1st and the 15th,
which means crowds of families on these dates. Keep that
in mind.

* Don't shop from someone else's food cart.

* Notice in local health food stores how unhealthy the
people tend to look.

* And notice in heliolithic stores that when you throw out
"thanks" they hear that and respond sincerely, so if you say
"thank you," mean it.

* Cashiers will notice patterns like ice cream at midnight three
days in a row. The same true for liquor. Rotate your stores.

* If you genuinely see something you can compliment your
cashier on, do it. It'll make their day. Conversely, if you
want to destroy their day, ask to see the manager.

* Remember, grocery store butchers always tuck the fat.

I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night.

Okay guys, I know it's late. But I still made it before midnight.

A Blog A Day.

From this day forward I promise to write a blog everyday. Even if there isn't much to write about. I want to do something everyday other that eating or sleeping. I want to have the need to write. Even if it is garbage or nonsense. Someone might be interested. I talked to Duane Keiser this morning who did "A Painting A Day" for about a year and a half. It was something he needed to do. Like eating. I need something to do too. That is writing. I should probably just stay away from the news writing world. That wasn't good. My life really isn't too fascinating. Even though, these years are supposed to be "the best years" of my life. I do admit that college has been way better than high school. I didn't do anything in high school. I think that's part of the reason why I'm doing things now. It also gives me pride in my school. I used to not care. But, now I want to make sure our football team is winning and that the students are happy. Right now, I'm at the point where I want a relationship. I didn't have a high school sweetheart, go to prom, or meet someone in school yet. I mean I have met people and I have dated. But, none of them made me want to stay. I've been notorious for dumping every guy after 2 weeks. Well, one cheated. But still. I would like to break the cycle and know what it is like to have a real relationship with someone. I met one person and we had an amazing kiss, but he decided to get a girlfriend the day after. What the hell? Then another guy I liked asked me out, stood me up, and didn't call me back. That was ridiculous. I hope things get better. I used the bathroom in the library and there were all these different explanations of what love is. I've never been in love, so I had nothing to write. I just read them. What I learned was... you cannot have love without trust. Love is real. Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is a lot of things. I hope they don't ever paint over it and it becomes a mural. I really need to find something to do tonight. I like how I am slowly pouring my soul into this blog. I hope I can do this everyday.
