Wow, thank you so much to everyone who commented on my application pictures. It meant a lot. I was really down on Wednesday when I got the email from Missy, but when I saw all the awesome comments from people yesterday and today, it really cheered me up.

I like the photos, but I can understand why you were rejected. You're beautiful, but you're also too "happy".

I only equate that song with bill and ted..I sang that song all day then came home to watch the movie.good times 
I wrote a fairly long entry about music but I wrote it in Word and the damn program decided to perform a runtime error (I have no idea what that means) and not let me in again. The entry is still there; I can see it. I just can't touch it. I am not happy about that at all. Sucks, I worked hard on that...

I wish we could vote on who should become SuicideGirls. If so, #2 in your rejected set is a very persuasive argument. But, of course, I am biased. Curves make my heart skip a beat ...
Look forward to seeing your picture on the first page when I log in sometime soon.

Glad you're feeling better. They don't have a cow smilie, so here's a chicken 
Yesterday was gloriously uneventful. I had a staff meeting from 9-11am, and then since my shift didnt actually start until 1:00, I met xwellthenx for lunch. (Hes such a cutie.) The rest of the day went amazingly smoothly. I picked up one kid from school, a new kid arrived, and then I spent a while playing the N64 version of Mario Kart with two of...

Blue sky: short explanation
Blue light gets scattered (spread) around much more than all the other colors from the sun, causing the sky to appear blue.
Blue sky: a more detailed explanation
Light is made up of electromagnetic waves.
The distance between 2 crests in this wave is called the wavelength.
White light contains all the colors of the rainbow.
The amount of light scattered for any given colour depends on the wavelength of that colour.
All the colors in white light have different wavelengths.
Red light has the longest wavelength.
The wavelength of blue light is about half that of red light.
This difference in wavelength causes blue light to be scattered nearly ten times more than red light. Lord Rayleigh studied this phenomena in detail. It is caused the Tyndall effect or Rayleigh scattering.
Lord Rayleigh also calculated that even without smoke and dust in the atmosphere, the oxygen and nitrogen molecules would still cause the sky to appear blue because of scattering.
When blue light waves try to go straight through an oxygen and nitrogen molecules, its light is scattered in all directions because of this collision.
This scattered blue light is what makes the sky blue.
All other colors (with longer wavelengths than blue light) are scattered too.
Blue light's short wavelength causes it to be scattered the most.
(The shorther the wavelength of the color, the more that color gets scattered by the atmosphere)
Actually, violet has the shortest wavelength of all colors. Violet is scattered even more than blue light. However, our eyes are much more sensitive to see blue than violet, therefore we see the sky as blue.
Very little visible light is absorbed by the atmosphere.

Wow....I can never put stuff like this in my journal. Everytime I sit down to update my mind just goes blank. 
Id like to thank everyone for their suggestions. The boy came up with his own punishment. Hehe. A little while ago I told him I thought he should get a manicure. He was like, Hell, no! He has now agreed to get one. I realize of course this isnt really a punishment because hes going to enjoy it in the end, but I feel I...

OK, that is a great thread!
I've gotten my eyebrows waxed, but never the bikini area. I'm not too sure how I feel about ripping hair off that area...
I hope you're having a great weekend!

My boyfriend is a big, goofy sweetheartbut sometimes he acts like a total dumbass. For example, yesterday when I was leaving his house, he asked if he could see me that (Sunday) night. I said sure. On his break around 5pm, he called me and when we hung up he said hed see me later. Now it is almost 9pm on Monday and I have...

That totally sounds like a conversation I would have....and I would be the one with your part.
peggy:
Thanks. 
I just found out that my friend Cat was in town for the weekend. She moved to San Francisco last May and doesn't come home to visit very often. She teaches exotic dance lessons and had a training thing in Philly this weekend so she sent everyone an email on Thursday. Unfortunately for me, I didn't check my mail until today. Sucks!

Hi!. Thanks for the welcome! I particularly like the interesting picture you found of me. :-)
shadowmancer:
Damn it. I had something similar happen to me a few weeks ago. I completely missed one of my friends coming to town because of my computer being down.
But Yay on new friends....they are nice.
I said 'Hi' to Doke per your request.
Have fun.

XWellThenX was nice enough to take some pictures of me with my new hair. The color really isn't all that exciting, but since you asked for pictures I put two up. 
In other news, the child that has been terrorizing me since I started working at the shelter left. I breathed a huge sigh of relief.
I need to go get in the shower now...

i am calling you tomorrow! i have been going through hell at work! i miss you though and hopefully we can hang tomorrow!!!!!!!
I have a hacking cough. Its not as bad as it was yesterday when it was a hacking/wheezing cough though. I also kept losing my voice yesterday. It kind of came and went. In addition, I sounded like a man for part of the day. I talked to Mle on the phone and she told me later that she kept wondering if it was really...

1) I like your hair!
2) I, too, have overdue parking fines. I should probably go take care of those...
3) My favorite stuffed animal as I was growing up was a white bear my "first boyfriend" gave me when I was six. I still have it, though it's permanently not white and has been to the "Teddy Bear Hospital" many times, including for major eye surgery.
4) I hope you feel better!

ok, first.. i love making your friend happy second about the stained forehead, as gross as this sound i guarantee it to work. take cigarette ashes and dampen a cloth with water. dip the cloth in the cigarette ashes and use the wet ashes to scrub off the stain....it smells but works.
i still have my nestle quick spoon from when i was 4. the best spoon EVER!!!!!!! i see you all eyeing it up....grrrr

I wrote a fairly interesting entry and then my computer restarted before I hit save. I don't have time to retype it. My computer sucks.

hehe it only happens to me when i hit the wrong key cause i am el stupido!

I hate that too.
I'll just pretend that I read it and was highly entertained.

Update on my accident:
Mle took me to Limestone Medical Center which is basically a mini-ER. The doctor that treated me was a total prick. When the nurse called my name, I asked if it was ok if Mle came in with me and she said sure. Then the doctor came in and said, You need to go take a seat in the waiting room!...
