Ok, so I haven't really updated in awhile. And I'm not going to. I don't feel like it nor do I really have the time to do so. Even though I'm procrastinating right now by doing this anyway. But whatever! I don't care! So I got this from Audree and yeah...here it is. Feel free to do it as well.

Spring Break / Survey thingy

March 9th, 2006 (01:04 pm)
b/c the darn lj cut won't work

current mood: b/c the darn lj cut won't work

OMG SPRING BREAK!!!! Just ONE more day and I'm out of here! I have one midterm tomorrow or else I would just say screw it and leave today. So I just have one more class today and I have to work on a project and then take my test tomorrow and I'm off!! I will be home soon and in my baby's arms! Then I will get to see my bestest friends Audree and Melissa!! YAY!!!! I'm just so excited. Nine whole days at home with friends and my baby Grant! And I have TWO birthdays to celebrate too! Doug turned 20 last weekend and Devan turns 20 this following week so I'm definitely going to have to hang out with them sometime. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm bored so I think I'm just going to stop writing now.
Except...I did a GINORMOUS 300+ question survey thing and since it's so incredibly long I will post it in parts. So I started this thing on Valentine's Day and since it's so long I would get bored when I was working on it and so it took me forever and I finally finished this thing a few days ago.So here is the first part of that survey thingy.

[ .012. ] is your hair long or short: It’s semi long. It’s about to the middle of my back I would say.
[ .013. ] where were you born: Dallas
[ .014. ] current location: Waco during the school year, DeSoto at all other times
[ .015. ] zodiac sign:
 

[ .016. ] how many languages do you know: one, English. Tried to learn Spanish but I just don’t care.

[ .022. ] tattoos you want: If I ever get any I will probably get a sexy little fairie on the inside of my hip or something
[ .023. ] today: sucky Valentine’s Day. Sucky in the fact that I have a lot of work to get done and not enough time to do it in.
[ .024. ] today's date: February 14th, 2006 (wow, you can see how long ago I started this thing!)

[ .025. ] the time:
However, I am only starting it now. I’m actually about to go in like 30 seconds. I will finish this stupid thing sometime soon. No idea when though. I always seem to get suckered into doing these survey thingies that all end up being the exact same stupid thing. What are you gonna do?
[ .026. ] ready for a bunch more questions: Perhaps later.

F A M I L Y
[ .027. ] mother's name: Mary

[ .038. ] do you get along with your parents: Pretty much. We get along great now that I’m off at college.
[ .039. ] does anyone in your family understand you?: Uh…I guess? My mom more so than my dad. My mom understands me a lot I guess since she’s a woman and she’s been most of the places where I am (and will be) before and all that stuff.
 
S C H 0 0 L
[ .043. ] are you still in school: Baylor!      a couple of random campus shots

[ .044. ] did you drop out: well obviously not if I’m still at

[ .045. ] current year: sophomore! Soon to be junior!
[ .046. ] favorite grade: Senior year in high school was pretty darn good, even with a couple of things going wrong. That’s when I met Grant and I just had a great year at school. But I guess that right now is my favorite year so far!
[ .047. ] least favorite grade: probably 6th grade. I pretty much hated everything that year.
[ .048. ] favorite teacher: Ms. Bukowski and Ms. Schauer were my favorites in high school. My favorite professor so far is probably Ms. Nobles because she was a grad student and totally awesome! I learned so much in her class and she was just an amazing person.
[ .049. ] least favorite teacher: In high school it was Ms. Wells. She was only like 23 and sooooo stupid! I hated her so much because she acted more like a student than a teacher. She knew her stuff, mostly, but she was just so stuck on being popular it was insane. My worst professor in college was Dr. Duhrkopf. He was just the meanest and least caring person I have ever known. Gah.
[ .050. ] favorite subject: Pretty much anything English. In college I’ve enjoyed my Theatre, Journalism and Film classes the most.
[ .051. ] least favorite subject: Definitely math. I suck at it so bad and it’s just so boring.
[ .052. ] do/did you buy lunch or bring it: I mostly bought my lunch all throughout my school years, but I occasionaly bought.

[ .053. ] play any sports on the school's team: I played volleyball throughout junior high and during freshman year. I also briefly played basketball, softball and ran in track. I’ve never been much of an athlete though.
[ .054. ] do/did you do any extracurricular activities: I’ve been singing in choirs since 7th grade and I’ve done different things like NHS, volunteering, etc.
[ .055. ] are/were you popular: Well being in a small school most people knew me. Nearing the end of high school I became more popular and even got voted Prom Queen, Miss TCHS and other things.

[ .056. ] favorite dance: My school’s senior prom

[ .057. ] favorite memory: Not sure. I have a lot of awesome memories.
[ .058. ] favorite memory you want to have: Nothing that I can think of. I guess it would have been fun to be Homecoming Queen or at least on the Court, but I really didn’t care about that.
[ .059. ] least favorite memory: Umm…I don’t think I have anything that was just horrible. I slid down one of the sets of stairs once and my arch nemesis saw. That’s really the only thing I can think of.
[ .060. ] most humiliating moment: I guess that the previous applies for this.
 
Alrighty. So that's a lot of stuff. But that's only four pages on it. Haha!

Happy Spring Break everyone!!

the Peacemaker
Test finished!
you chose BX - your Enneagram type is NINE.


"I am at peace"



Peacemakers are receptive, good-natured, and supportive. They seek union with others and the world around them.


How to Get Along with Me



  • If you want me to do something, how you ask is important. I especially don't like expectations or pressure.
  • I like to listen and to be of service, but don't take advatage of this.
  • Listen until I finish speaking, even though I meander a bit.
  • Give me time to finish things and make decisions. It's OK to nudge me gently and nonjudgmentally.
  • Ask me questions to help me get clear.
  • Tell me when you like how I look. I'm not averse to flattery.
  • Hug me, show physical affection. It opens me up to my feelings.
  • I like a good discussion but not a confrontation.
  • Let me know you like what I've done or said.
  • Laugh with me and share in my enjoyment of life.

What I Like About Being a Nine



  • being nonjudgmental and accepting
  • caring for and being concerned about others
  • being able to relax and have a good time
  • knowing that most people enjoy my company; I'm easy to be around
  • my ability to see many different sides of an issue and to be a good mediator and facilitator
  • my heightened awareness of sensations, aesthetics, and the here and now
  • being able to go with the flow and feel one with the universe

What's Hard About Being a Nine



  • being judged and misunderstood for being placid and/or indecisive
  • being critical of myself for lacking initiative and discipline
  • being too sensitive to criticism; taking every raised eyebrow and twitch of the mouth personally
  • being confused about what I really want
  • caring too much about what others will think of me
  • not being listened to or taken seriously

Nines as Children Often



  • feel ignored and that their wants, opinions, and feelings are unimportant
  • tune out a lot, especially when others argue
  • are "good" children: deny anger or keep it to themselves

Nines as Parents



  • are supportive, kind, and warm
  • are sometimes overly permissive or nondirective

Renee Baron & Elizabeth Wagele


You are not completely happy with the result?!
You chose BX

Would you rather have chosen:

  • AX (SEVEN)
  • CX (TWO)
  • BY (FOUR)
  • BZ (FIVE)

    current song: Don't Panic - Coldplay

    So I'm totally stealing this from Sarah, who actually stole it from someone else. I love stealing things from her.

    I should be updating since I have TONS of stuff to update on, but I don't really care. I'm too lazy to sit here for like an hour and write out everything, even though I'm probably going to procrastinate anyway on learning my music that I'm supposed to be doing now. Oh well!!

    Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and PLAY!
    Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 10 songs that play!
    Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from!
    Step 4:
    Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly!

    Click here for my quizzy thing and some pictures! )

    yay for stolen things!!

    current song: Don't Panic - Coldplay

    YAY!! I stole this from [info]weasleyismyking who stole it from someone else. Stolen quizzy thingies are the best. So here's how it works: Start with 100%, and take away 1% for everything you've done/that's happened to you on this list. Put the number you are left with in the subject
    line.

    EXAMPLE...if you did ONE thing you would put 99%.

    46% )

    So these past three weeks have been really nice. I haven't updated in sooooo long. I didn't even update when it was my birthday. I had a pretty good 20th. My roommates surprised me in the morning with balloons all over the floor and a birthday banner. Then when I walked downstairs they put a crown on my head and gave me a scepter. How cute are they? So the day went pretty well. Then for dinner they took me out to Texas Roadhouse which is always nice. I got some pretty good gifts. Grant bought me the new Cinderella DVD and Friends season 6. Audree definitely got me the best present out of everyone though. She got tickets to the Rilo Kiley/ Coldplay concert. Coldplay was SOOOOOOOOOOOO amazing! I can't wait until they come back again. I also can't wait for a new cd. They're definitely my favorite band. "And the best band ever was...COLDPLAY!" You got that right, God.

    The other day I got my birthday presents from Jessica and Doug too. Jessica got me a cute little tropical painting to match my apartment bedroom and she made me a necklace and earring set which is just beautiful. And she also made me two hair thingies with flowers. She's really awesome at making jewelry and all kinds of stuff. Doug painting me two paintings this year instead of just one!! They're GORGEOUS!! they're purple to match my bedroom at home. It's a picture of a woman outside at night. She's got a sheet around her like she's in bed and one painting ends around her butt and then the next one continues with the rest of the picture. It's awesome. And it's kinda supposed to be me. For our birthdays and special occasions Doug always paints me and Jessica. It's so fun. One day he's going to be famous and we will be able to say we have his originals.

    Wow, I'm soooo not even going to be able to do justice to the past few weeks because I've forgotten so much of it by now. But anyway...I spent HPU's Homecoming weekend at Audree's. That was a great weekend. I got to visit with Audree, Stacy, Sarah, Tony, Jeff, and people. It was sooooooo much fun. I got to see Pirates of Penzance, which was AWESOME!! I wish I could have a copy of it or something. I would soo watch it. Sarah's like the cutest and most beautiful person in musicals ever. I would see anything she ever did. And Stacy is soooo cool! She's just one of the most interesting and uniquely awesome persons that I've ever met. And it was really good to catch up with Jeff and Tony. And Justin got to come down on Saturday for the actual Homecoming day and that was fun. Justin's just so awesome and perfect for Audree. He's so much fun to hang out with and it makes me happy that he and Grant get along well and enjoy hanging out. That means a lot to me because the four of us can hang out and not worry about whether everyone's going to have a good time. So HPU weekend was awesome and it sucked to come back home to Waco, but I love it here so it's all good.

    I'm not too sure what all to talk about regarding the last week, so I'll just go to tonight! Tonight was Halloween and I have been planning for awhile on going to the Halloween Organ Concert put on by the Baylor School of Music. So I went to that at 7:30 tonight. OMG it was SOOOOOOOOOOOo much fun!! The music was AMAZING, the costumes were sooo cool, and there was lots of humor. It was just so great I wish that it had been longer than an hour and a half and that they were going to do it again tomorrow!! There was even one part where Darth Vader came out and played some Star Wars music. Then during the song another Darth Vader came out and had a light saber fight with Yoda. It was so great. The music people are really funny. I wish I could go into great detail about it so that everyone could see how awesome it was, but I'm tired of writing so I think that I will end it here!

    So anyway...I will talk to you all later!! ♥

    So yesterday I read Nicholas Sparks' latest novel, At First Sight. Yeah, totally balled my eyes out. I LOVE his books. They're always so sweet and wonderful, but somehow they also wrench your heart out. It's a great time to be had.

    YAY!! Stolen survey time! I took this from [info]weasleyismyking. I haven't updated in forever so I figured this would suffice for the time being.

    <lj-cut>

    1. Name someone with the same birthday as you:
    Audree's dad!! How fun!! And this weekend is my birthday weekend!! YAAAAAAAAY! Even though next Tuesday is actually my birthday, makes sense to celebrate it during the weekend that's closest. And Grant's coming to see me on my birthday! And I think my roommates are planning something, but not sure what really. I doubt it will be anything big, but maybe a present or something? fun!!

    2. Where was your first kiss?
    On a football field under fireworks. Sounds awesome huh? Kinda like a cheesy movie? Too bad it wasn't even that great! It was with THE worst kisser in the history of the earth. It was my first boyfriend and I had to teach him EVERYTHING. It was so sad. I'm sure some of you know who I'm talking about, lol. But Grant...woo! He's a pretty darn good kisser! I <3 him. I'm sure you all wanted to hear that...haha!

    3. Have you ever seriously vandalized someone else's property?
    Nope!

    4. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?
    Yep! But I think that it was usually in jest. However, I wouldn't be surprised if I have hit someone for a real reason. I probably have. Maybe Devan or someone.

    5. Have you ever sang in front of a large number of people?
    Do it all the time! In fact the next time will be October 18th! Baylor Fall Concert! My choir, the Women's Chorus, will be sharing the stage with the Men's Choir. How fun!!

    6. What’s the first thing you notice about the preferred sex?
    Hair, body-type, face

    7.What really turns you on?
    Grant!!

    8: What do you order at Starbucks?
    Grande Sweetened Raspberry Lemonade Tazo Tea   MMM!!!!!!

    9. What is your biggest mistake?
    I have no idea, perhaps my biggest flaw instead would be procrastination or low self-esteem, but I don't have NEARLY as much of that as I used to nowadays!!

    10: Ever hurt yourself on purpose?
    Umm...not in a way that would warrant a severe problem. Just little things like picking at cuts and stuff like that.

    11. Say something totally random about you:
    I bought THE most awesomely sexy black bra at Victoria's Secret today. Almost makes me drool.

    12. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?
    I think that the only celeb I've ever gotten was Erika Christensen, but I don't believe that one bit, so I'll just say no.

    13. Do you still watch kiddy movies or TV shows?
    I guess if you count cartoons as kiddy movies/shows. I went to see The Corpse Bride with Audree and Mellisa. I also enjoy a few cartoon shows like Invader Zim. And I REALLY want some Disney DVDs.

    14. Did you have braces?
    I did for about a year, but I haven't kept up with the stuff I was supposed to do afterwards, so my teeth are still straight, but they've shifted just a bit.

    15. Are you comfortable with your height?
    It's ok. I've always wished I was shorter, but I like being able to reach things.

    16. What is the most romantic thing someone of the opposite sex has done for you?
    wow, [info]weasleyismyking said someone flew 1500 miles to see her!! How awesome!! Oh goodness...umm...Grant is romantic a lot of the time, even when he doesn't really realize it. He's the sweetest person I know. He's done a few things, like the awesome diamond heart necklace he gave me, but that's not actually DOING something I guess.

    17. When do you know it's love?
    When the cutesy butterfly thing has gone and been replaced with a much deeper feeling and you know you can't live without that person.

    18. Do you speak any other languages?
    Well I've studied a lot of Spanish, but I'm so insanely far from fluent it's crazy. I wish I could speak Italian and Elvish. Stupid America schools need to get those Elvish classes!!

    19. Have you ever been to a tanning salon?
    Cancer in a box? No thanks! I will keep my porcelain skin and look younger than the leather-skinned women later in life.

    20. What magazines do you read?
    Cosmopolitan, Seventeen(haha, I'll be a 20 year-old reading that soon, but it's still so cute!), National Geographic, Entertainment, People, Bridal magazines, shopping/fashion magazines

    21. Have you ever ridden in a limo?
    A few times. I think about 4, a different kind each time!

    22. Has anyone you were really close with passed away?
    Not yet, thank God.

    23. Do you watch MTV?
    Not a whole lot. The shows are getting worse and worse, but there are a few things that I enjoy.

    24. What's something that really annoys you?
    People just being gay. Not homosexual, haha, but just being stupid for no apparent reason.

    25. What's something you really like?
    Dan Brown novels!! I just finished Angels & Demons, the "prequel" to The DaVinci Code. Sooooooo good. yay! Books in general. I could read 120982309820398 books! And I'm well on my way...

    26. Do you like Michael Jackson?
    eh. Yen, or Nes

    27. Can you dance?
    Not unless you're talking about the Fox Trot or something else that's really easy.

    28. What's the latest you have ever stayed up?
    Um...how about just not going to sleep at all? Well, you EVENTUALLY go to sleep, so I don't know. Late?

    29. Have you ever thought that you were honestly going to die?
    Nope! The closest was probably that accident with Rachael and LindseyMindsey.

    30. Have you ever been rushed by an ambulance into the emergency room?
    see the above

    31. Do you actually read these when other people fill them out?
    I sure do!! I love reading about people.
