Yeah, apparently there's a lot more screwed up on this site than I thought.  I've been working on a few things.  The fonts on the main and movie pages are being redone, but it's taking forever because Paint is retarded.  I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with the guestbook.  And I moved some links that weren't working.  So it's a work in progress still.  It'll get done, but it may be a while.  Especially since I'm leaving tomorrow, bright and early.

I hate drama.  Maybe I'm being cliche, but why can't everyone just get along?  Why does there always have to be some huge ordeal that we blow even further out of proportion and splits our entire group into two 'sides'?  It's stupid.

Almost as stupid as Paul is looking right now.  I don't know, maybe he has a reason for what he does.  But it sure doesn't seem like it, and keeping his motives a secret just makes him look like a complete ass.  I couldn't believe what happened at Sonic tonight.  It was so juvenile and idiotic it was laughable.  And what's even more sad is that he was completely serious.  Man, I used to think Paul was a cool kid, but all this irrational hatred, the junior high 'I'm SO gonna beat you up!' mentality, the silly threats in Ryan's guestbook... it has seriously lowered my opinion of him.  Not to mention his friends, who I don't even know, but are acting like a flock of mindless sheep.  It would be hilarious if it didn't piss me off so much. 

But enough of that.  I'm tired of talking about it. 

Mel and I finally found bathing suits!  Hers is incredibly cute, and mine is to a lesser extent, the only drawback being that it's almost the exact same style as my old one.  You know, I may just stop wearing the old one altogether... no matter how many times I wash it, it still smells like that mold stuff from Spring Break.  Ugh. 

Oh yeah, and... HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHERINE!  A day late, I know, but still.  We went out for a great birthday night tonight, which included a dinner at Chili's, many many presents with quite possibly the coolest wrapping paper ever, and watching Shrek 2 (which Katherine's parents paid for... they are awesome and I love them!).  Shrek 2 was a distant second to the wrapping paper, but it was still a highlight of the night.  I'll put up a review sometime.  Maybe.  I still haven't gotten around to writing one for Troy or Vanilla Sky either, so we'll see...

The beginning of summer is turning out to be extremely boring.  Nothing to do at my house, except listen to the craziness going on around me.  My sister is getting away with anything and everything, and still has the run of the house.  She cut the felt on the pool table the other day with a box cutter, and I don't even think she's been punished... she got "talked to."  Talked to my foot, she got off easy.  And Jordan is always here, and he always takes my parking spot at my own house, which annoys me more than his actual being here.  Park in the street!  And now Marvin and Mom are officially splitting up, so I have to deal with all of that crap.  Ugh.  I just don't know how much longer I can stand all of this.

So long story short, I spend most of my time staring at the TV and ignoring my sister, Jordan, and their freaky relationship, playing on a now-defective pool table, or, most likely, holed up in my room playing internet checkers (a game I have recently become completely addicted to).  What a fun summer... yay.  I just can't wait until everyone else graduates so that I'll be able to hang out with you guys during the day instead of around here.  Or until I get a job.  I really need one.  I'm thinking I'm just gonna go to the YMCA.  Not my ideal job,  but it means money... and money is good.  Really good.

So, yeah, I hate my boobs.  Mel and I went swimsuit shopping today.  Blah.  First of all, I picked the absolute worst time ever to go swimsuit shopping.  Besides that, though, absolutely NOTHING fit.  I've now spent about a total of 7 hours looking for a swimsuit, and haven't found a single one that looks decent.  Oh well.  More shopping tomorrow I guess.

Wow, I sound really bitchy.  But whatever.  It is a rant.  On a brighter note, however, Mel and I have thought up some new ideas for this summer.  So much fun!  We'll have to enlighten the rest of you later. 

I need more people to visit this site!  All the, well, stuff I have planned for it just isn't fun without a lot of people.  Right now the only people I know who visit this site are my internet stalkers. 

Ok, enough babbling.  I should really stop writing these things at odd hours and do them when I'm actually coherent enough to put together something that makes sense.  Hm.

So I just got done putting the last finishing touches on the website, and now I'm about to publish it.  Now that I look at it, the actual site itself isn't all that exciting.  I put too much of my time working on the other stuff.  Oh well, that will change very soon. 

And now Brandon and Ryan have surpassed Melissa in the snooping area, I believe.  Blah!

On a different subject, Astroworld was awesome!  I forgot how much fun it could be.  Mel, Brandon and I finally got going around 4pm, after numerous fiascos with money, etc.  We got our season passes, though.  I think the photo on mine looks extremely odd, but all drivers license-esque pictures do, don't they?  The rides were great, and I learned that the Serial Thriller and Dungeon Drop are way cooler to ride at night.   But I had the most fun just waiting in line.  From the race to the gondola with Nikki and Amanda to playing Fingers to getting way too excited about playing the movie connections game... all of it was an absolute blast.  The only low point of the night was getting cheated by the carnival games people and not even getting a stuffed animal out of it.  Blah.  It was all Brandon's money though, so whatever.  And we did come out of it with a very cool leopard print rubber hammer, so it's all good.

SNL was alright tonight.  The Olsen twins kinda creep me out, but they were funny.  Sad news is that Jimmy Fallon's leaving, though.  I'm kinda worried about the fate of Weekend Update.  They were hilarious together!  What is it gonna be like now?  I hope it works out ok.  As long as they don't put Keenan in, it'll be ok, I guess.  But still, they don't have very many funny people left... oh well, we'll see.

So, yay for leaky umbrellas and getting soaked!  I think the worst thing about the UH campus is that it turns into an absolute marsh whenever it rains.  But I don't really have to worry about that anymore, because...

I'm done!  Finals are over!  The history test was incredibly easy, but I'm just so glad that it's all over that I just don't care.  Whoo!  To celebrate, we were all gonna go out to Starbucks and a movie, but then got intimidated by all the tornado warnings.  Oh well.  We still had fun here.  We managed to run out for a little while to Blockbuster to rent a movie and get some junkfood.  Ended up piled in my room eating cheese popcorn and watching Win a Date With Tad Hamilton... a cheesy romanti-comedy, but funny and adorable nonetheless.  A good mindless movie after a week and a half of finals.  And now I'm in love with Topher Grace.  Yup.

What's crazy, though, is that after 10:45 tomorrow, I'm not coming back to UH.  It's weird.  And as much as I'm looking forward to summer, I almost can't wait for it to be over so I can head up to College Station for good.  I know, I'm a nerd, but it's exciting.

Ok, well, I guess I'll go get working on the rest of the site.  It's coming along rather well, I think.  We'll see.

Yay!  My first rant!

Yeah, well... so much for surprises... Practically everyone's already seen everything on this site.  Even Melissa, who's worse than Ryan at snooping, apparently.  Yeah, if I were giving out awards for snooping, she would definitely win.  Unfortunately, I only give out stalking awards... heh. 

But yeah, there's no point in keeping this thing 'secret' anymore.  It's not finished, which is originally why I waited, but whatever.  You guys are gonna see it anyway, so I might as well put up everything that I have so far. There will probably be changes soon.  Top 100 still doesn't look like I want it to.  The music page will probably be deleted because it's just plain boring.  And I may or may not erase all the guestbook entries you guys posted illegally.  Blah. 

I should probably be studying for my history final tomorrow, but I'm incredibly unmotivated.  I only have to get an 85 to get an A, and if I get a 25, I will still pass the class, that's how easy this thing is.  It's insane.  Good, but insane.

The countdown until summer is currently at 14 hours.  I can't believe that I've already gone through my first year of college.  It's really kind of surreal.  My dorm room's practically empty, except for the TV (gotta keep up with Daily Show, doncha know), my stereo and some clothes, and I still can't believe that I'm moving out.  And then there's the fact that I'm not coming back here.  I'm gonna miss everyone so much!  What'll I do without 2am talks about Machiavelli?  I know, I'm a nerd. 

But I really can't wait until Friday, when summer officially starts.  And talk about kicking it off with a bang... I already have a full weekend.  Thursday night we celebrate the end of the semester with a Starbucks run and general partying, then Friday will be all sorts of fun with Ryan, then Saturday off to Astroworld.  Sunday, possibly bathing suit shopping with Mel, and other fun stuff.  So awesome. 

I'm kinda disappointed that I don't have cool pictures to put in my rants like Ryan or Brandon. I need a digital camera.  Maybe I can steal my parents' again.  Whatever.  I'll have plenty of pictures soon enough, camera or no... heh.

Okay, off to study some more!
