Sorry about the font color thingy. I could read it on my computer so I just thought everyone else could to. Sorry you're so bored up in the quad cities Laura, but I'm the same way, when I get bored at work I begin making lists as well, helps pass the time.
Newho, Thomas~ I thought you were on facebook cuz that is where I posted my party at, I haven't sent any emails, at least I don't think I have. Strange but true.... hmmmm....
Its already Saturday and almost 1pm, and I have done NOTHING this weekend, I'm such a bum. Well I did go swimming yesterday, by myself. Kinda lame but it was fun.
If anyone is extremely bored on a weekend during the day I would greatly appreciate some help, I'm tryin to get this freakin patio done but I've been sick w/bronchitis since the beginning of may, so its been kinda hard to do. I'm getting closer though, but I can't finish it by myself, that is for sure. I'm trying to get it done before 4th of July weekend, and trying to get my dog kennel up too. At least I have the pool up and it is amazing this year!
Well I better get going, I have hockey practice in St. Louis @ 2:30.

Things I do to remain sane at work
-think up as many story ideas as I can. Unfortunately, it usually turns out they're Verge ideas and won't do me much good this summer (but when I go back to school they'll come in handy!!
-update my blogs. Yes, I have this one, and I have my xanga. the entries are different, so if you ever feel like catching up with not only what I tell you but also the intricate details of my personal life, hit up www.xanga.com/oohlala (copy and paste it into your web browser.
-e-mail unknown amounts of people. I catch up with many of my friends who have left Eastern and the college life to go onto bigger and better real world reporting jobs and the such. I miss Kevin and April (and more but I've heard back from those two.) I'm going to e-mail you Thomas, but I need access to that story I want to send you and you'll have something to do then.
-check out every news site I can think of to catch up on worldly happenings

.........................and much, MUCH more.
-Facebook. With people at home for the summer, there's not much happening with Facebook, but that doesn't mean its any less handy than it always has been. Thomas, if Maryville has facebook, you should hit it up at www.thefacebook.com and sign your ass up. OK I JUST CHECKED- Maryville does have facebook, and that means you need to GET ON IT. It'll give you something to do. Everyone else is on it as far as I know, since SIUC, EIU, WIU, SIUE and more also have facebook. Just check it out.
-Make lists. What does it look like I'm doing right now? I've also made lists of what to bring home, what I need to bring BACK from home, what there is to do in the Quad Cities, and more.
-I keep a heavily detailed agenda, and I update it more often than necessary. I can't go anywhere without it because it has written in it everything I need to do today, including "go home" and "update blogs." Sad, huh?
-Talk to co-workers. Mostly Aaron, he went to EIU with me. He actually should have graduated but he's holding on for a year to finish things up and to be the Editor-in-Chief in the Spring. I can't wait to go back to school and start everything again. I really hope you guys visit and get to meet these people. I'm actually going to do that now.

Quick post
So I thought I would post real quick before I finish getting ready for work. Watched "Closer" last night,don't think I'll be burning that one, I thought it kinda sucked.... Anyways, I only give me and Chuck a couple more days, I'm just not as happy as I use to be with him. Don't really know why....... Well need to get ready, bye!

mmmwwwaaahhhhhaha Blogger is Alive!!!
So I hope this color I picked shows up. Laura~ Blogger looks k/a now! And congrats on your scholarship!! I am def gonna come visit your ass @ Eastern next semester. Thomas~ I guess you would be referring to Chuck?? Newho, we've been together since mid January, but things haven't been goin too great. Somehow though, I don't really mind.... I guess because I have another guy I've been talkin to, but he lives in Boston :( Newho,,,, back to Chuck, he actually broke up w/me on Sunday, but then got back w/me on Monday. I pry shouldn't have agreed to that, but what the hell. As for sunday, I don't remember awhole lot because I went to Fast Eddies w/Steve (yes, steve, we had it planned B4 chuck broke up w/me by the way). So, I proceeded to get extremely smashed, not by choice, Steve's friend kept buying me shots. In the words of Napoleon Dynamite it was "unforgetable".
That day/night (since I was wasted by 5pm) I called a shit ton of people I don't remember on the phone. The last phone call was to Chuck. I don't even remember calling him. He told me I was really nice at first and then just snaped and started yelling at him.
When I realized I had called a shit ton of people I called Chuck to apologize for whatever I had told him. Well to make a long story short he came over to my house and he wanted me to take him back. So I did. What was I thinking? oh well.
Ok, so my new guy in Boston, Marc. Super sweet, hot, has a degree, and has the best job ever! He is V.P. for Vision Sports and Entertainment partners. They do marketing and contracts, mostly for the NHL yeah! You can check it out at http://www.visionsep.com/
Ok the invite thingy is for my Fourth of July Bash and everyone is invited. Sunday July 3 @ 3pm. Swimming, BBQ, washers, stuff like that. I'm getting the keg and supplying the meat for everyone, so i'll need to know for sure who will be there. And its $5 a person, cuz i am poor and the keg will be around $60 plus meat, very expensive.... So you guys should come its gonna be a blast, and Marc is coming into town so you can meet him. :)
Well I better jump off, I'm goin to a drink testing thing tonight @ the Gateway center... YAY free booze!!

We are all getting to be such adults....
So, as far as the paper goes, I guess you could say I'm doing well. But sometimes it is a slow day. I miss the DEN. When I'm there I can be there when I need to be, or be a jackass and play hacky sack as much as I want to and no one will say a word. Here I'm a little afraid I'm not going to make well with the professional community, so even when I'm waiting for phone calls and I know it's okay, I feel bad being on the Internet. Not bad enough that I'm going to stop though.
You can read my stories now at www.qconline.com
Not bad for gathering clips. Monday they have me going to cover a Relay for Life fundraiser in Orion, 30 minutes away. It should be fun. I love fundraisers and I love Relay for Life!!
One thing I will say is weekends I'm off for the most part, and at night I can go home and do my own thing, whereas at the DEN I sometimes never left until 10-ish. Then again that was usually my choice. My record was 2:30 a.m. but I was hanging out with friends (Joaquin and Haas). Another thing, I was an editor there. And there's only so much you can do to stop reporters stories from sucking. Which makes me feel bad for my editor, if I don't come up with the correct caliber story he was looking for. It's really hit or miss with me sometimes. You can still check out some columns and stories of mine at
www.thedailyeasternnews.com
I suggest you go there, go to "About Us" on the side, and click on my name. Look for the column "The day the agreement died." It's a column I wrote about my teacher that killed himself. He was awesome. It was actually my creative writing teacher, and the essay mentioned is the one about the guy I'm going to send you, Thomas. I got a $500 scholarship for next year and when the photo adviser presented my award, he told the whole banquet that column made him cry. Wow, huh? Then after the banquet we all proceeded to get drunk. Advisers and all.
I got a house for next year! So no matter how busy your ass may be I can almost promise I'll be busier, and that you need to come and visit me at Eastern. Time is running out! It's so cute, it's white and small and I'm sharing it with 2 other newsies. One girl, who is really not a lot like me, and one guy, who is really not a lot like anyone. They're nice though, it should be interesting and fun.

A fresh new start for Whatthefu??!?! = fresh new look. You likey or no? Cuz we can change it around. Ask me to make you an administrator.
Depressing story
Today I am finishing up a story I worked on all day yesterday on how teenagers mourn a tragic loss. I remember how people were when Tony Haun died, so that gave me a little insight, although I can't use personal opinion.
The story is about a 17 year old who was hit by a drunken driver on his 17th birthday two months ago. Some people visited his grave on the 2 mo. anniversary yesterday and I went out there, and then talked to his mom for about an hour. It pretty much put me in a depressed state of mind the rest of the day.
It's 11 o'clock and I'm waiting to hear back from one of the deceased's friends.
On a lighter note, I'm pretty much bored out of my mind here, so I've taken it upon myself to work out. You know me, I don't do much, but I work on a cardio bike for about 40 minutes and do a walking lap or so. Then I ride out. I figure I might even become more fit! Especially because I have been making it a habit to hit McDonald's up for their- GET THIS- fruit and walnut salads, and or the side salad or the fruit and walnut parfait from the $1 menu!! They're actually pretty good. I don't have much time to eat much here anyway, and I'm not usually very hungry anymore.
I hit the public pool the other day and got nothing but disappointment, when I learned it was more of a family place, PACKED with kids. Then I slipped in too close to the side and got a fatty arbuckle bruise on my left thigh. Kinda reminds me of the football shaped on I had in high school, Diane.
Thomas, I will write you about this guy. I will have to send you the essay I wrote for my creative writing class on him. The name was changed but I changed it back for my personal record (It was Jason because I had to read it in class, but the real name is Dan). In case I left some unchanged, it's the same person.
I will also fill you in on the rest, because the essay leaves some things out. But it will get you about 5 pages of something to read, and I am quite personally proud of it, so you might find it enjoyable even.
What's new with you anyway? and where are you working in a cubicle all day?? How's Beth and all that business?
I'm gonna slip away now, TTYL.

Me again
Hey everybody. I'm glad to see some of us are back! Awesome. I'm glad everything's going well for everybody.
Ths summer is not much of a summer. I'm too far away from home to come home and have fun with any friends. I mean- I'm coming home this weekend for my dad's birthday but I won't have time to do much except for family stuff.
I'm sorry to hear you're not coming back Diane, but I'm glad to see you're doing well. Everyone but Thomas knows about my repeat bad habit that ended in April that was complete bullshit. It's sad that when everybody talks about relationships I talk about that- it wasn't even one, it was just some douchebag I liked who lead me on and got rid of me once I was no longer his flavor of the week (which I apparently was for several months). I need to find a guy more like me and less like the sports desk.
Speaking of... I have pictures on my webshots you should look at if you haven't already seen. I'm gonna go through and edit some of them out. There are plenty of photos that aren't online because I didn't bring my scanner. I think I might look into bringing it next week so I can put some of those photos on here.

K I'm gonna go edit. Bye-ee

Sure did forget
Hey y'all. I sure did forget about this but I have lots of updates so here it goes...
*I have a bf who is amazing and we get along great. His name is Mike. Angie and his brother work together and they hooked us up. Its kind of funny we actually talked online like a month or so before they set us up....maybe it was meant to be....
*I'm staying in Texas to see how things work out with Mike. Y'all know that I just don't stay in one place for a guy unless I'm serious about him. (I sure did up and leave Jake and WIU.) I can't just up and leave a good thing, ya know?
*I'm going to go back to school this fall for physical therapy. I'm only going to start out part time and especially now that my mom is making me pay for it. Then if i like PT I'll get into Athletic Training and stuff like that maybe, but you know how my mind chances.
*I'm still working at Aeropostale and massaging at the spa.
*Tomorrow Angie is making me drive the jeep. I've only driven it a couple of time and she told me shes taking the Honda tomorrow so wish me luck b/c I'm sure I'll kill it and get all flustered in traffic.
*Heres a link to my pics. I don't have a scanner so I can only put up the ones I take with my digital (I don't take that one out with me) or pics someone else puts up. http://photobucket.com/albums/y144/dideestar/
xoxo

*Tomorrow Angie is making me drive the jeep. I've only driven it a couple of time and she told me shes taking the Honda tomorrow so wish me luck b/c I'm sure I'll kill it and get all flustered in traffic.
*Heres a link to my pics. I don't have a scanner so I can only put up the ones I take with my digital (I don't take that one out with me) or pics someone else puts up. http://photobucket.com/albums/y144/dideestar/

Tired of being sick
My summer has been amazing thus far. Lots of downs, but thats ok. I've had bronchitis since the beginning of May, but I'm on some pretty sweet drugs now, so I should be good to go in the next week or so. I've been working and taking a summer course, psychopathology. The worst class ever! But I will survive, and to do so I must go study now for a test that I have tomorrow.

Rock Island didn't know what hit them...
Hey you all from the Quad Cities.
You know, it's amazing how much this place looks like home. It's the convergence of two rivers, the Mississippi and Rock rivers, it has a casino downtown, and it's hilly as a bitch too. Only problem- it's over 4 hours away, and I know hardly no one.
I'm doing an internship at the Argus newspaper. It's actually a newsgroup- The Argus, The Leader and The Dispatch are the same pretty much. Rather, we write for all of them. It pays like $150 a week, but then Eastern matches that and I get $300 a week, plus clips and experience.
Short post I know, just trying to get 'er started again, I'm sensing a pattern that isn't a good one, with the starting and the stopping...
Ok bye!
