GREETINGS!!!!  Haha... I'm writing an entry... FINALLY! =D  You know that I know that you know that I KNOW I'm not good at keeping up with entries... FORGIVE ME PLEASE!!!!  Well, it's not going to be very long... the next one will be when I can organize my thoughts on what has happened over the past... uh... month and a half. =P  I just wanted to make an entry so that all of you know that I'm still alive and uh... flapping?  And what is this?  They have my font... YAY!  I feel special. xD  I didn't know they offered this without a premium account... am I being billed for this? *laughs*  Ah well, it doesn't matter. 

Incase you haven't guessed, which I'm assuming you HAVE because you are all very lovely intelligent people, we're back at school by now... and tomorrow is "run the EVIL mile" day... hurrah. xD  Actually Emily and I have decided to skip the mile this year. YAY!  And by skip... I mean SKIP as in not walking or running, you know, skip.  Not as in, "we don't want to run your stinking mile, take THAT evil school system!!!" and just not do it in protest... although that might be fun too.  ^^  Well, as long as I don't trip like... uh... oh crud, now I have to tell the story. *rolls eyes*  Alright, so last week in gym class Emily, Krista( I hope I'm spelling her name right!), and I were heading out to the side of the track for archery, which was awesome by the way, and we decided that it would be fun to skip there.  So, I was skipping along with them and "minding my own business" when suddenly my ANKLE gave out and I fell, in Emily's words, "like a shot fairy" =P  Yes, right down in the dirt.. just lovely!  But it was SO funny!  I was laughing way too hard to get up, Emily and Krista were laughing too hard to help me up, and the boys' gym teacher (since I'd fallen right in front of where they were playing football) was attempting not to laugh so hard that he couldn't even ask if I was alright. xD  So that was my, and everyone else's amusement for the day... and I had to explain to everyone for the rest of the day why there was a very large conspicuous grass stain type thing on my pants...   And I had to give a presentation in Psychology... so everyone was staring at my knee. *laughs*  Well, like Kate said, at least they weren't paying any attention to what I was saying!

Ah, 'tis October 5th!!!!  Happy Birthday "Around the Sun!"  We've taken another trip around the sun since it was released. xD  HURRAH!  And 'tis nearly a year since the concert!!!!  HUZZAH!  The 30th... oh yes we are celebrating that. =)  When Kate, Emily, and I went to the park city mall the other we found R.E.M. stickers!  YAY!  And we heard "At My Most Beautiful" in Boscov's!  'Twas a good day.  *laughs*  There were these weird signs on the floor that said "watch your step" and pointed down at the floor... which didn't have any problems as far as we could see!  So we thought them most amusing!  Maybe they were warning us of booby traps or something, I dunno, malls are odd. ^^

Well... I believe I've rambled enough for now... like I said I'll catch you up on all the other stuff that happened since August in my next entry!  I'm too lazy to do it right now. xD

Greetings!  It's been a while since I made an entry... AGAIN. xD  Last week I was at the beach in Delaware with my family...  It wasn't too bad, except for the car rides. o.O  I was squashed the entire ride down and back and Andrew kept pushing the cooler further into my arm. =P  I am SO taking the death trap next year and avoiding a bruised arm. xD  It rained half the week down there so we only got to the beach for one day, and it was HOT.  But other than the heat and Andrew attempting to throw me in the surf, it was pretty fun!  I made a sand sculpture!  And we climbed one of those observation towers along the beach... the view is beautiful up there!  I also took a lot of random pictures; I bet they really thought I was weird stopping in the middle of the road to take a picture of a puddle. =D  And I saw many different lisence plates down there, some of them were really cool!  I thought of taking pictures of them... but decided I wouldn't want some random person with OUR lisence plate number, so I didn't. xD  On the way back I seriously almost died.  Some crazy driver sped out in front of us from the WRONG direction on the highway and my dad swerved JUST in time.  If that car had hit us we'd have all been dead for sure!

I missed all my friends SO much on vacation!  I love my family, but a week alone with them is a little too much. =P

Work today was BUSY.  I know I've ranted about this a million times but, I HATE SUNDAYS!  They gave me a table RIGHT before we are supposed to stop serving... I HATE that!  Just as I figured I was safe. o.O  And it was awfully hot in that horrible uniform. =P  SORRY!  I'm always ranting, just slap me if I start again, ok? xD

Oh!  I've been meesing with this program called Art Rage, it's really cool because it's basically like actually painting, but on the computer!  Here are 2 pictures I did using it:

That one was a request *points up*

And that one was for my own amusement. xD  Yay art!

Well, I should be off! *waves*

Greetings!  Hurrah, Emily has been home for nearly a week!  We did lots of catching up and sorting out of issues that came up while she was away, it all worked out. 

Kristen's pig roast was yesterday!  Twas great fun. =D  There was lots of food... but at first I had a problem finding something to drink!  The coolers were labeled, "Soda, More Soda, Diet Soda, Beer" and since I can't drink soda because of my stomach condition and I can't drink alcohol because I'm under 21... well it was a bit of a problem.  I laughed though as I found it rather amusing, but I eventually figured out that there was a cooler full of juice that had been staring me in the face the whole time. xD  I had to use a plastic knife to get the top of it open though, and when I walked in the house I was greeted with, "Hi Rebecca, why are you carrying a knife? =P" and I replied, "uh... because I'm going to shoot you all!  I mean, stab you all! xD"  "You're going to shoot us with a knife?" "maybe...."  Hehe... I'm brainless. xD  Oh, and I had more cheese outburts!  Although I don't remember what triggered it this time... oh well.

Ugh, and today I had work...  Within the first half hour I already had ALL 5 of my tables!!!!!  Why do they always do this to me!?!  If they hate me they should just fire me and get it over with instead of trying to break my back. o.O  Indeed my back aches... and my shoulders feel dislocated...  Well, at least I finished early anyway, and I had some help with people's dinners.  At least none of the old people yelled at me today, but my manager had to make me feel worse, "Why are you still rushing around!?!  Everything is caught up now!"  Oh, very easy for her to say, I was shaking!  *sigh*  I need to find another job. 

Ah, no work again until next Saturday... that sure makes me feel better. ^^

GREETINGS!!!!! Uh.. sorry, hyper! xD  I just finished the 185 song glory that is my Xanga music player, WHOO HOO!!!  After finally finding that darn code which I've been looking for for AGES I found it!  It took many hours to edit all that HTML... but I think it was worth it. =D  All the R.E.M. stuff is in album order from newest to oldest (it's complete with the exception of Dead Letter Office and the second In Time disc, which I feel bad about leaving off, but I seriously hadn't got enough brain left... bother me another day and I'll put them on, lol).  So yeah, I feel pretty proud of myself for having enough patience to do all of that. ^^  Now you can stop, pause or play another song when you feel like it...  Oh and you might have noticed that I found some other nifty codes to fix up my Xanga too. YAY!  FUN! 

Ok, enough about all of that. xD  I had work today... yay. =P  It wasn't bad at all though, actually... I only had 6 people!  I was worried that the 6 top would get seated too, but it didn't. ^^  Tomorrow is Sunday though, and Sundays are always busy. =(  I HATE working on Sundays!  But do they ever give me off on Sundays? NO!  Grrr... It angers me!  Ok, sorry, sorry!  I know, I rant too much. *sniff*  I don't need to burden other people with my problems. *shakes head*

FWEEEEE!!!!!  Emily comes home on Monday! *squeak*  I can't wait to hear all about what she did, I've missed her SOOOO much!  It's not as much fun laughing at things that relate without her! *cries*  Speaking of references, the other night at work it was storming terribly and I told the residents to "enjoy the rain" before they left.  Then I proceded to have an outburst of "I'll Take the Rain" and got strange looks from my co-workers as usual.  They MUST know I'm crazy by now! *laughs*  They always catch me in mid-song!  It's like I'm a magnet because no one is around... until I start singing like there's no one around and then POOF!  There they are. =P  Kind of embarassing... hehe...  Oh GOD!  I'm talking about work again. o.O *slams head on wall*  Sorry again.

Well... I should be hopping off to bed soon otherwise my parents will defenestrate me when they get home.

Greetings!  Hey look at me, I'm updating!  WHOOO HOOO!  Ok, enough of that. xD  Anyhow... Ive been rather bored lately; but at least Community Days was fun...  I got to paint kids' faces last Friday but there weren't too many of them so I amused myself by painting my OWN hand, and I liked it and didn't want to wash it off... *laughs*  So I scanned it!  See?

Yay!  I'm weird. =D  But I'm sure you knew that already...  Anyway, then the fireworks were AWESOME!  I felt kind of weird at Community Days with Kate and Alex though... it was awkward because they were sort of all over eachother and I didn't know what to do. o.O  You know how it is...

Sunday I was working and I dropped ice cream on one of the residents... that was awful!  At least she was nice about it; I felt terrible though and apologized over and over. o.O  Everyone was commenting on how I didn't have to apologize for everything... but it's a habit.  I AM the Apologist after all. xD  Hehe...

I miss Emily! =(  Well, at least she'll be home next Monday...  It feels like an eternity. :P  We'll have to do lot's of catching up when she gets back. ^^ 

Oh!  I found this site where you can paint a picture and then play it back, it's really cool!  Here are some of the one's I've done:
