LMAO, this is great...

Okay, so Friday and Saturday my mother had Hilary and I clean the barn for her. Why, I have no clue. But we made the best of it. The stalls were hideous both days, so I can't say much about that. Friday was great. First, Hil and I cleaned the barn in record time. Then, feeling rather hungry, we (well, Hilary) raided people for money. We then went to lunch at Jersey Giant...mmmmmm. Both of us are able to eat an entire Jersey sub by ourselves, soo good. Mind you, we didn't eat the rest of the day. Anyway, after we went home and got cleaned up, we went to the movies. I only have one thing to say: Harry Potter on IMAX, nice. I was soo impressed with IMAX, and Harry Potter is awesome, but that goes without saying. By the way, when did some of these actors get so hot???? Like the Weasley twins...damn! Ok, the scene with Harry in the bathtub, forgetting he'd be jailbait for me, wow. The movie is great, I nearly cried when Cedric Diggory dies. I've read the books a million times, but I still wanted to cry. It didn't help that the charcters were around 20 feet tall. That was great, seriously. I'm pretty sure I'm going to bitch about the screen being too small next time I go to a regular theater.

Then on Saturday, Hil and I cleaned the barn again. This time, my parents bought us lunch, which wasn't bad. Let me back up a bit. Before starting the barn, we rolled a giant-ass snowball from one barn to the other. We decided once we were done with our work, we would finish our lovely snowman. We did, too. It's nearly six feet tall, but not quite. The eyes, mouth and buttons are horse treats. The nose is a big-ass bolt Hilary found in the grain room. The scarf is grass, it actually worked too. We spent soo much time on it, and it's great. I'll get a picture up here soon.

Well, it's New Year's Eve, and I'm again sitting at home, with nowhere to go. I hate this. My New Year's Resolution this year, to not sit at home again, ever. I honestly have never done anything for New Year's. I'm such a loser, but that's all about to change. Anyway, that's about all I have for tonight. Happy New Year's to all!

Wow, it's been too long

Ok, here we go.....again. So a couple days before Christmas, Hilary and I go to a Christmas thing at Mt. Hope Church. Honestly, the production wasn't bad, I was just upset about the after effects. I expected there to be some prayer, which I am fine with. I am a Christian, so I have no problem with prayer. What I have a problem with, is some random pastor telling me I'm going to Hell simply because I don't ask God every moment of my life to forgive me. I believe in God and Jesus, I read the Bible, I'm not opposed to religion. But I am opposed to people constantly telling me I'm going to Hell, especially before they even know my fuckin' name! As you can imagine, Hil and I had quite the conversation afterwards.

Well, to get the evil taste out of our mouths, we went to see a movie. Despite my mother's objections, we went to Celebration Cinemas. Personally, I didn't see anything wrong with this place, but whatever. We saw The Ringer, with Johnny Knoxville. How in the world did Johnny Knoxville go from Jackass to hot ass??? Seriously, I love him. Yes Hil, we've been over this, he's yours. But I can still drool!!! By the way, The Ringer was cute, pretty funny. I liked it.

Christmas Eve, well, that was boring. Christmas was good though. I got soo much. So here's the list....Books: Jarhead, Anna Kerenina (in Russian and English); Movies: The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, The Scorpion King, The Boondock Saints, Patch Adams, Gone in 60 Seconds, and Real Genius; Clothes: pajamas, a sweater, and a robe; Music: Josh Groban's first CD; Misc: two Boyd's bears, and an MSU Santa Ornament (Notre Dame is overpowering the tree). My mom got a coffee/cappuccino maker, but my sister-in-law has to show us how to make good cappuccinos and mochas.

On to the day after Christmas. I went to Ann Arbor to see a good friend of mine, Carranda. We went ice skating with her nephew and sister. I only fell down once, but I felt that the next day!! I spent most of the afternoon and early evening with her and her family. I played Uno with everyone, that was so much fun. I really miss her, she lives in Florida now. But it was an awesome day.

Tuesday, I filled out an application for a job. After that, I went home to meet my parents. We took a truck-load of hay to the barn, where we checked on my horse, Ashbar. He was colicking, but not too bad. For some reason, he just wouldn't drink! I walked him for a long time, thank God it wasn't cold! We eventually called the vet, that was an ordeal. He wouldn't let her put the tube into his throat, but eventually he lost.

That brings us to today. I get a phone call to come get my parents, because the truck lost a serpentine belt. They just needed my car to get a new belt, that was all. Ashbar still wasn't drinking, so he recieved a high dose of pure iodized salt. After awhile, he had no choice, so he started drinking again. Meanwhile, I was at home, dealing with the idiot of a dog. I took him for a loooong walk around the field, but that didn't phase him. Stupid dog. I did manage to get a card out to my pen pal in Kuwait, at least I did something productive today! It really wasn't that bad of a day, I can't complain too much.

Well, that's about all I can come up with for now, so auf wiedersehn.

LALALA

Okay, well, it's been awhile, let me see what all happened. My brother and I haven't really talked much, but he'll still talk to me so that's good. My mom, sister-in-law and I spent hours making cookies and such for him. Then, Emily and I had an absolute blast using a vacuum sealer to ship them out to him. That was fun.

This last week has been a NIGHTMARE. Well, let's start with Monday. I actually get up in time to be to class on time, for once. I get in my car, go to start it, and it just clicks. My dad told me it was just the battery, yeah, right. A family friend came over to help me out with it, and try and jump start it for me. It wouldn't even take the jump start. Our friend said he thought there was more wrong than the battery. But my mom came home and took me to get a new battery for it anyway. I put the new battery in. At this point, the car would start, but wouldn't stay running. The car ended up being towed to a local garage, despite my protests. They had to replace the mass air sensor and the idle control modular. So I get my car back on Wednesday morning. I drove the car to class, went home afterwards, then went to work. The car was fine. Then, I go to start it Thursday morning to go to my 8 AM EXAM, and it would start, but wouldn't stay running, AGAIN. I ended up stealing my mom's car for class, but only Psych. The car had to be towed again to the same damn garage. Come to find out, they took my intake manifold apart, but never put it back together. After all this, they tried to tell my mother she owed them five hundred dollars. She made a comment to the effect of,"uh...no." and they decided to cover the costs themselves. Jackasses who don't know what their doing...dammit.

As for my psychology exam, it went fairly well, actually. Then I had another exam last night, which ended up being the best exam score in that class. Suprisingly, since I just skimmed the material on Freud, since I can't stand Freud. But hey, all that matters is I did well, and that class is over. No final in Psych, thank God!

After the exam, Emily and I went to see Syriana. Very good movie, but a tad confusing. It has about five plot lines, which are all different, yet they all coincide in the end. The pace was similar to Jarhead, by which I mean the beginning was slow, but the pace picked up at the end. There were a lot of politics in Syriana, but I really liked it. I still haven't seen Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire, but I'll get to that. Well, that's pretty much been my life for the past couple of weeks. I'll get back on here when I remember it. Auf Wiedersehn
