tada. More or less what I expected it to be X) However my life would be a lot better if I was done with school! *stabs school with pointy objects*

What is my deal man. I feel a lot like crap, maybe I am pmsing. Or maybe the frustration of school has finally gotten to me, in any case, I suddenly don't care. In fact I don't care to do anything right now. I'm hungry but I can't bring myself to eat.
I tried doing homework, but I have no motivation. Whatsoever. So I though, oh, maybe I'll clean and that will get me going. So I cleaned the sink and mirror and started laundry, but nope, that really hasn't done it.

I tried reading the graphics chapter that the assignment is in. Not taking linear algebra has me at a huge disadvantage for this class because, vectors, what the crap man. I'm sure I could eventually figure out the geometry for this project, but nope, gotta use vectors. Which I don't get. At all. Dustin tried to explain it to me, and I was like..."uhhh...wha...???" I'm not stupid but damn this is hurting my math self esteem. Trying to read the chapter proved useless. Maybe I'm too distracted.
I'm reading about vectors and determinants and dot products and my mind is half focusing on the text and the other half is thinking about freecell, the good looking guy in my dream a couple nights ago, and the fact that MacGyver season 3 has been out for a while now so I should go pick that up.

And 331. Why exactly must I use these defined buffer classes in the back of the textbook? Why can't I make my own code to place delimiters between fields and input/output files on my own?



So, this calls for a new plan of action. I'm thinking computer graphics will kiss my butt goodbye this weekend.
My possible schedule for next semester:
CSCI 332 - computing ethics T H 8:00 - 9:15 with Teresia Fisher
CSCI 413 - computer networks T H 9:30 - 10:45 with Jie Hu
elem Japenese 2 - T H 3:00 - 4:40 with Theresa Orth

which would be really awesome because I wouldn't have class M W F and provided karate is meeting at the same time as it did over the summer, I could start it up again. Hell yes.

And I know a lot of people aren't a fan of Hu, but ya know what, despite the fact that sometimes her teaching confuses me, at least she has always been helpful when I need it and Computer networks sounds more interesting than OO software developement or numerical computation or whatever.

After that, all I'd need is 311. However, next semester it only meets M W from 5 to nearly 7 or something. Which is crap, because that's when I work at Sammy's. And I like my monday and wednesday shifts very much and I'm not giving them up until I get a career job, dammit. So next week I'm going to talk to the prof that teaches it and see if Fall of 06 it's offered at a different time. So, graduating in May isn't going to happen, but fuck this overloading on classes crap.

Now, if only I could figure out what these buffer classes are doing.

I've been tagged twice to do meme thingers, so here we go.



rule: list 5 things that give you a moment of joy, then tag 5 friends to do the same.

1. Getting schoolwork back and seeing that I did better than I thought
2. Opening a can of Mt Dew
3. Making popcorn
4. Making tea...man, that sounds really good right now.
5. Petting a cat


and this one, which is really similar but that's okay X)
List ten things that make you happy:

1. My friends (both friends I know physically and friends I have online)
2. My family
3. My cats
4. Listening to my favorite music
5. Playing video games, especially old-school ones
6. Finishing a drawing/painting/art thinger that I like
7. Finding out other people like it too
8. Physical activities I actually enjoy - rollerblading, DDR and skiing, and yes, occasionally running
9. Driving out in the middle of nowhere on little-travelled roads, jamming to music
10. Nature walks

List 3 things that bug you — things that others may find trivial. Then tag 5 of your friends. Only list 3 things because you may/can be tagged again.

1. Drivers that don't use their blinker/turn signal
2. At work, people that call in for delivery *before* they figure out what the want to order. AARG (likewise, tables that tell me they're ready to order, then proceed to discuss what they're going to order)
3. When the kitchen garbage gets full and starts to smell bad

Okay. I'm going to only tag 5 people at random. But I really don't care who does and doesn't do it XD
Rachelle, Cait, Brie, Anke, and Jen

What. The. Fuck.

I checked my voice mail, and the girl from the new apartments had left a message. She said she had done the criminal background checks, and there was something on my record...'unlawful something' in Benton county, almost sounded like 'container', but I couldn't understand her. From 10-22-2001. I checked an old calendar; it would have been my first semester in college (a monday, which means I had class from like noon till 5 or something). I highly doubt I was even *in* benton county that day. What the crap. Of course, it's 7:30 on a Friday night, so I can't call the Benton county court or get back to the apartment office until monday.

This is going to drive me crazy. @_____@


I read this post by Ursula Vernon and thought, "that's totally the type of dream I would have! especially the weird labeling part" XD

List five songs that you are currently digging ... it doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words or even if they're any good but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions, the artist and the song in your blog along with your five songs. Then tag five other people to see what they're listening to.

1. Alice in Chains - Man in the Box
2. Lamme Immortelle - Brennende Liebe
3. Laibach - Tanz Mit Laibach (yes, the song from that weird kitten flash thingey)
4. Queensryche - Empire
5. Bring in the Machine - this Sonic 2 remix (yes, the video game).

Randomly tag 5 people: um. no. XD If you want to do it, go for it, heh.



Went and saw Episode three with Dan today. It wasn't bad, and the effects were amazing, but a lot of the dialogue had me either cringing or stifling giggles. (The 'noooooo!', of course, I had to exert myself not to burst out laughing in the theater). Now I really want to watch the original three.


*sorta spoiler, but not really**
I love when R2 spits out tar and burns the other droids. Dude.
And that huge sqeaky lizard thing was pretty nifty.

More odd dreams!
Summer class and the mansion
My summer class had already started, and the size was huge, like auditorium style. Except the setting was like a high school cafeteria, with long tables for desks and the prof had to lecture from a stage. The weird thing is, a huge chunk of my high school grade was there taking this summer class. I remember waving to like 3 different groups of people as I walked in, and finally I sat down next to my roommate, who was also apparently taking this class.

Then the school morphed into this huge house my parents had bought. time must have travelled fast in my dream, because when I first checked out the house, the basement was completely unfinished, but then later in the dream my parents were nearly all moved in. And I guess I moved back home, because I had my own room (which was sorta split into two smaller rooms) and all my stuff was in there. And I had my own TV, too. The rest of the house was enourmous. It was two or three stories I think, and the basement was a split-level, except it had a ton of levels. Seriously, like 4 or 5 @_@ And for some reason there were a ton of TVs in the house. I went around to all the levels and rooms and counted 26 TVs, and one of them was one of those huge flat digital TVs (I remember thinking in the dream, 'how can my parents afford all this?'.


It's the 27th now in my time zone. Which is my grampa's (mom's dad's) birthday. And it's also the one year anniversary of Spooky's death. I can't believe it's been a year already. Sometimes I find myself arriving at my parents and part of my subconcious is expecting Spooky to be there. I miss her.

What Colored Lightsaber Would You Have?
brought to you by Quizilla
Oh yeahs.

Several things.

First of all, this rocks my socks off (I think I found the link in Keffy's lj): http://www.livejournal.com/users/jedirita/114889.html

Meme #1 (stolen from sukieo_jen:
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

Jen's questions:

1) What are your 5 top favourite movies of all time?
The first Matrix movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Office Space, The Fifth Element, and the original Star Wars movies. (yea that's 7, nya!)

2) What's something that people do that drives you absolutely funky crazy?
Dive like they don't have half a brain. Stupid motorists can really piss me off. Also, when people are hypocrites/self-contradicting.

3) Fame or fortune, which would you pick?
Fortune. If you're famous, your life gets put on a microscope. I'd have a hard time dealing with the lack of privacy. And if I had money, I could own cool things like a corvette, my own private lake in northern minnesota, and more video games, books, movies, and anime/manga I could ever play/read/watch.

4) What's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you in the work place?
This was during the third or fourth month of waitressing at Sammy's...the back dining area was packed with people, but we had to rearrange to make room for another small group. I couldn't get a chair between people, so I lifted it up over my head to carry it...and I knocked a light and there was broken glass everywhere. it sucked. a lot. and I felt like the world's biggest retard.

5) Who would win in a fight between Earthworm Jim and Mr. T?
Mr T! because he is awesome.
I'm not really familiar with earthworm jim...I vaguely recall playing a Sega or Nintendo game with him in it..but I must not have liked it enough to play it again.


and meme #2 stolen from Claire and Rachel
1. Who are you?
2. Are we friends?
3. If we've met, when and how did we meet?
4. What social event or place would you like to go to with me?
5. Would you kiss me?
6. Describe me in one word.
7. What was your first impression?
8. Do you still think that way about me now?
9. What reminds you of me?
10. If you could give me anything what would it be?
11. How well do you know me?
12. When's the last time you saw me?
13. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?
14. Are you going to put this on your blog and see what I say about you?

Woah man.

I just ran from co rd 137 by my parents' out to quarry park, ran the small inner loop and back (so maybe around 3 miles?) And I did it without walking...yay! Granted it was a rather slow and steady pace, but still, I am starting to get back into shape. And I really need to, since that 5K run is in a month or a month and a half.

And I need to get ahold of Rachel Kramer. The Garbage concert is tomorrow X)

Tonight will be spent finishing a painting...the art student union is having a show for a couple weeks (one of the lower galleries in the Paramont). I wasn't planning on being in it, but my name appeared on the postcard/flyer as a participant so now I gotta enter. However, whoever typed the thing up spelled my name "Beaky" instead of "Becky". Yeah, thanks a lot.

Well I think my laundry's about done, then I gotta run some errands.

PS: Ollie is the most attention whoring cat I've ever known. Whenever I go to sit down he quickly jumps in the chair and expects me to play with him. He's a weirdo, but I love him.
