Some jokes.

I am not in any way against the US Military, but this stuff does make me wonder who exactly enlists. Oh well, hope you laugh as much as I did!

"Aim towards the Enemy." - Instruction printed on US Rocket Launcher

"When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend." - U.S. Army

"If the enemy is in range, so are you." - Infantry Journal

Meet Talenyn!

I adopted a new pet cat. (Scroll down to see her.) Her name is Talenyn, which means "little wren". I realize that's a bit ironic that I'm naming a cat after a bird, but I like it, so that's the way it is. :)

Other than that, it's finals week, which is a well shown by the fact that it's 1:30 in the morning and I am not studying, I'm posting. But at least I don't have class in the morning! Ok, off to bed....soon.

More updates....to my iPod.

Hi all! I'm sitting in my speech class, five minutes before class starts, waiting for my iPod to update songs. I had to restore factory settings, which basically means it erased my music off, and to give you an idea how much of a hassle that is, it's been loading the music back on, and it's only gotten 5 GB back on....I own 18 GB worth of music. This takes awhile. *sigh* I think I'm going to have to leave my computer hooked up during class, which I don't imagine my teacher will be very happy about. Oh well. I can't disconnect now or I'll have to start all over again.
By the way, an update on my speech, it went well...as did my juries...(my music finals). Now I've got a semi-slack week ahead. Yay! Gotta go now, class starting.

Speeches

Well I'm sitting in the room where I'm to give my speech. I'm first up, which I hate being...I'd even take second, I just like having someone else go first. Oh well, people went on monday, so I'm not really first. My topic is College Illiteracy, and I'm speaking to a group of freshman. Wish me luck!

Girlie Gamers...

Alright, so I'm avoiding homework....I need to get back to it, but I thought I'd post about this...
So I discovered this girl's gamers club thing....it's exclusive too...as if there are enough girls gaming that they can be....but obviously they can...I'm not good enough, BY FAR, to even attempt it, but it's cool to check out anyway. Oh, and they get paid by a gaming company, but they don't really have to advertise for them too much...they just get to be gamers....so yeah. Here's the site. http://www.fragdolls.com

Crazy weeks.

Hi all! I just wanted to let you know that you probably can't expect a whole lot of posts for the next few weeks....not that I post often anyway, but still. The bulk of my assignments are due next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and then the week after that is finals. And then I move. So yeah...I'm going to be super busy...oh, and I still have to find a job!

Back home, and back to normal.

Hi all! I'm glad to see you all read my blog enough to panic over my hair change....just so you know, my actual "About me" photo is still accurate...my hair is about that length and still that color. All the red was done in photoshop after a couple of hours work. It was fun. Hope you enjoyed it too!
