$10,000 off of my student loan to live in North Dakota…

Grand Forks Herald | 04/28/2003 | NEW HOMESTEAD ACT: Proposal aims to fight rural population loss
The scariest thing is that I read the article and considered it. What is in North Dakota anyway, besides Fargo?

1- Birthday

I had a quiet birthday, which is what I wanted. I am waiting until next year to go all out for the big 3-0 celebration. I went to work, came home, and just spent time alone in self-thought and analyzation. It’s the truth. Anyway, thank you to Mew, April, Lesa, Angie, Aunt Jackie, Deborah, and my parents for the birthday cards and calls. They were deeply appreciated.
The main reason that I didn’t want anything special is probably because I just have too much on my plate, with the #1 thing being the move out of here. I also have to deal with the move at work and all the other stuff that is going on there.
Anyway, age is just a number, right? It not about how old you are, but how old you feel. In that case, why do I feel older than I really am? Something to ponder over

This monday has just kick me in the ass.

Amber came out today, so I haven’t had time to really do an update. Am working late tonight and feeling tired, so not sure if I will update tonight.
Talked to park Merced and $1600 is the lowest that they will go. So it looks like I’m moving. Yay, or something.

BTW, I’m Back…

Back from Depression Island….decided to cut my trip short. Too much stuff to do to be depressed. Too drained right now, will update at work tomorrow.
Redid website,go take a look at it and bookmark it. Will probably be doing most of my journaling there instead of Blurtyor at Livejournal. For right now, I guess I’ll just cross-post over all three of them.
O.K. Sleep time.

500 Question Survey – taken from AmyObsessive

– taken from AmyObsessive
I tried to one up Amy or anybody else crazy/bored to do this by linking all my answers. Unfortunately, the Blurty client gave up around the 100’s. I reached the max character limit for the client. Anyway, perhaps if I am bored, I will finish it up in this journal…or maybe I’ll just put myself out of my misery…

X-Static Process – Madonna – Absolute Lyric

I’m not myself when you’re around
I’m not myself standing in a crowd
I’m not myself and I don’t know how
I’m not myself, myself right now
Jesus Christ will you look at me
Don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Don’t really know if I should give a damn
When you’re around, I don’t know who I am
I’m not myself when you go quiet
I’m not myself all alone at night
I’m not myself don’t know who to call
I’m not myself at all
Jesus Christ will you look at me
Don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Don’t really know if I should give a damn
When you’re around, I don’t know who I am
I always wished that I could find
Someone as beautiful as you
But in the process I forgot that I was special too
I’m not myself when you’re around
(I’m not myself when you go quiet)
I’m not myself all alone at night
(I’m not myself standing in a crowd)
I’m not myself and I don’t know how
I’m not myself, myself right now
(Don’t know what I believe)
Jesus Christ will you look at me
Don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Don’t really know if I should give a damn
When you’re around, I don’t know who I am
I always wished that I could find
Someone as beautiful as you
But in the process I forgot that I was special too
I always wished that I could find
Someone as talented as you
But in the process I forgot
That I was just as good as you

Easter Sunday and the Mother Madonna…

Before any of this, has a public service announcement, stay far away from the group 3rd Faze and their song/video Shy. So wrong on many levels; and the music industry wonders why it’s loosing money…
Speaking of music and videos, saw the Madonna video for American Life and heard another single of of that album called X-static Process. I hoping that I don’t get hooked on American Life like I did with Die Another Day. I didn’t like Die Another Day when it first came out, but after hearing it on the radio over and over, it grew on me. American Life is just bad though, I esp hate that “rap thing” that she tried to do in the middle. As for X-Static Process, it’s a basic kind of song; I thought that I read somewhere that Madonna plays the guitar in it. But the words of the song I just love. Will have to look online for them when I get the chance.
Total side note, anybody remember Tommy Page, or was I the only one that saw his video growing up in high school.
O. K. watching Launch Music Videos via Yahoo while typing this, and OMG my mind is melting. Just crap stuff all over. The only good band so far has been The Donnas. OH NO…..token Break Dancing shot. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!
Make me want to download illegal MP3’s off of Kazza…

Cannot stay inside and hide,

Cannot stay inside and hide, ignore, and sleep away my concerns, worries, and fears
Will go outside to hide, ignore, and maybe sleep away my concerns, worries, and fears.
Wish I knew how cats did it? I thought hanging on the edge of my bed, laying in a sunbeam would do the trick.

A mixed morning so far…

Woke up to Mike’s mom blow drying her hair and banging every pot and pan in the kitchen this morning. Fun.
However, I already have several people interested in the futon and the table/chairs. Whoohoo.
I really don’t want to look for a new place. I’m actually dreading it. Think that I’m going to go back to bed for a little while longer instead.
Oh, I remember the other things. Before the hair drying I woke up from a dream that Suzanne was next to me and I was rubbing my hand up her inner thigh and playing with her hidden treasure. That is the name that I was referring to in the dream; not pussy or clit, I called it her hidden treasure. **sigh** Too bad it was a dream.
Also had a dream that Tim spent the night and he was leaving early. The moon was just coming out and he was showing me a trick with my car. And I had peed on myself for some reason.
O. K. Back to bed to see what else I can dream up.
