Congrats Rachelowe. Nice Diane, way to give me something to read after all :) (good girl!) And Emily- THANK YOU for picking up the spelling of her name.
Ya see that Rachelowe? Ha!
Nothing really to say today. Look for me on Monday. Hehe.

So tired.....
Rachelowe~ I'm sorry that you feel that way about not being 21, but i totally understand how you feel. Steve was 21 when i was only 17. But we all know that story.
Oh, and Law School, well i don't want to be a lawyer persay, but i really want to be a DEA agent. And it is extremely hard to get into any federal job like that. They normally don't take students straight out of college, they perfer you work in the work force for 3 years, or get a masters, or Law degree. Well, I really don't want a masters in CJ or Psych, because if I don't get into the DEA I don't know what I would do with those degrees. But with a law degree I can do a bunch of stuff that pays good, and if I do get into the DEA I want to work my 20 years then retire and then maybe start a law practice for the hell of it. Bout' damn time I got my life straight for a change, nice to know where you are going to be at in the next 10 yrs or so.
So here are some schools I'm looking at: (in no particular order)
1) New York Law School
2) Northern Illinois University
3) New York University
4) Loyola University Chicago
5) Southern Illinois University Carbondale
6) University of Chicago
7) University of Illinois- Urbana
8) University of Missouri- Columbia

Thanks for the Imput
I think you guys were all going in the right direction about the dream, and I'm here to say I've mixed your ideas with what I think is going to settle my mind on the whole issue.
---
#1-
I especially liked Thomas' soccer ball/heart analogy, and its totally true. And I also think it may have something to do with the fact that at the time, he was the sports editor. If you guys look at the pics in the DEN folder on my Webshots (see link on side of page) you will notice that there is a giant pair of underwear with a padlock on the crotch that April and I made for the girl who took over the campus beat when I took Verge and April graduated. It's none other than the DEN chastity belt. It has tiny little sports stickers all over it, because the reasons the belt was made are the 3 editors that have spanned the time since I got to Eastern- two of whom I've made out with (same as April) and a third which actually lives right above me at Augustana and is currently sitting 3 desks over at the Argus. His name is Aaron. People have speculated that I might complete the list, but last night we were pretty drunk and although flirty, I think we both know it's in our best interests not to. ANYWAY- one of the stickers most frequently used on the "belt" was a soccer ball.
#2-
The mixture of Chelsea and Ashley I think stems from a part of me that wishes I was still a kid b/c kids don't do that kind of shit or deal with that crap (Chelsea) and another part of me that wants to not worry and just have harmless fun (Ashley). Plus Ashley always called him a fuckhead and I know he thought she was flirting with him. I told her to stop b/c he liked it, but that's how she is.
#3-
Sometimes I think it would be better if I got to yell at him. I just want to tell him he didn't have to lie, and the fact that he did, after I told him I really liked him, makes me angry. I never got my chance. :( I think it would be in bad taste to do it when I return to school, but April seems to think it is still relevant. I can almost guarantee a situation will arise where it is relevant and the yelling will commence. Until then...
---
Emily- Wow this guy is really serious! That's cool though that he'e coming to your BBQ, I couldn't even get Ryan to come to New Year's Eve and that was an hour and 15 minutes away (AND I offered to do all the driving). Lucky you! I wish I could be there to meet him, but it's not looking too good.
---
Thomas, sorry about your car. You seem to have bad luck with that kind of thing. I wonder why? Maybe Master Dickhead will cave and you'll get your wish. Be patient my friend (I know after all that description its gotta be hard, hehe.)
---
Rachelowe- (you people should pick that up! see I dropped the space and one of the Ls and I merged her name into what it REALLY should be. Wait till she gets married. She'll be Rachelowe Smith, or whatever.) Way to go on the hard work. I don't wanna hear any bitchin on your xanga (although trust me if you write it I will read it regardless.)
---
Diane- We don't mind if your life is boring to you, your life is in Texas, which means none of us know squat about it. So I think I speak for the others when I say I'd like to. So write anytime about anything. I'm glad things are good with the boy.
---
I just got done writing 2 stories today, and it felt really good in the last hour to read a funny e-mail from April and to read all of your posts. You guys make me smile :) Hope one day I can return the favor.
Luv always,
("until winter comes in summer, and there's no more forever"- doin it out old Thomas/NSYNC style),

Hey y'all. Sorry I'm not writing so much but I don't have a lot of exciting things to say. My days pretty much consists of working at Aero/massaging and spending time with Mike/watching him play soccer. Nothing really exciting to write about. xoxo

Yay for internet
Laura~ You have some messed up dreams girl! I'm not really sure what it means, but I'm leaning towards you really want to yell at him somemore so he knows exactly how you feel and somehow that will make you feel better that he knows he was an ass. If that makes any sense.
------
Rachel- Yes~ Finally you can get outta your parent's place. I think everyone should def. live on their own for awhile, gives you a lot of responsibility that is for sure. Oh, and you appreciate your parents a lot more too.
------
Thomas - I'm using wood. I like the wood. Hehehe. Anyways, they are similar to railway ties, but they are smaller and rounded on the edges... They were a lot cheaper to buy than any kind of stones.
------
Anywho, thanks to Rachel Lowe, we got a lot done in the past two days. And now I have the whole weekend to work on it, so HOPEFULLY it will be done very soon. My mom has also been helping, she's been laying down the stones as Rachel and I build the wall.
-----
Last night Marc bought his plane tickets to come here over fourth of july weekend. Yay! But he doesn't get into St Louis till 11pm on friday cuz he has to work friday and he gets out of work late sometimes, like 7 or 8pm. He sent me is flight info through email, well he just forwarded it to me from expedia, he spent over $300 on his tickets! Damn, I feel special. So I guess that is worth all this work I'm doing in my yard, and the intense cleaning sessions I will have on the inside of my house. I almost think bringing in a pressure sprayer and spraying the whole inside of my house might be easier though. hehe. I found out last night he was Jewish, I've never dated anyone who was Jewish before.... should I be concerned about this?
-----
Well today I told my dad that I was considering going to Law School to up my chances of getting into the DEA. (not to practice law). And he was ok with it, I think even a little excited. But from the brief convo that we had I gathered that I would not be attending SLU, which I planned on since it is so close and I could keep my job. Basically because my brother will also be in Law School (somewhere) and SLU Law he said was $25,000 a year. I was shocked, didn't think it costs that much. So, he mentioned a couple of schools such as SIUC (I might be bunkin w/u cory, hehe), UofI, or Northern U. Pretty much cuz they are the ones in IL, so it'll be hella cheaper. I'm kinda excited about maybe gettin out of this town, and doing it right this time. Actually find a school that I like.
-----
Well I have talked long enough, and now I must get ready for dollar bottles at Applebee's

In Other News
Rachel, where are you going to start looking for an apartment? That's very exciting. Keep us updated on that for sure.

Nothing new is going on today, except I had a really horrible dream last night. I don't remember all of it but it's strangely haunting me. I thought I had pretty much gotten over it but it seems deep down it's still plaguing me.
At the end of the year, when the whole guy situation had wrapped up, he had a gf now and he was in serious denial that I was pissed at him (which frankly I can't blame him for if you read on). Everytime I would see him in the newsroom I would act like nothing at all was wrong, which I can't decide whether or not was for my benefit. You see, he was working closely with me trying to figure out what Verge should contain and what it should look like next year, as part of a class project for him and as part of my job, to revamp the publication. My trouble was that when I was sober, I was afraid of telling him my feelings and making myself vulnerable.
---
When we were hanging out, I would always tell him how I felt, and I can't remember very many nights when I was drunk doing so. I even told him one night that this wasn't just a mess around thing for me like other girls had been. It was lasting much longer and I told him I really liked him. That's why I hold it against him today that he lied to me forever when he should have come clean when he realized it wasn't that way for him anymore. You see, I was the flavor of the...er, several months, when normally they only last a week or so. I just always wanted to tell him that all he had to do was tell me the truth, and I would have been hurt but I wouldn't be at the point where I have all this pent up anger toward him, which climaxed at the end of the year.
---
One night, not for sure which, we were at a bar when we all decided to go visit Brian O'Malley, which you might all hear me call BO'Malley. He lived above Hatter's, and although he didn't drink, he was up all night until the bars closed, so we would stop in for a visit. Then he would feel compelled to take us home sometimes, but not because we asked him to. It was nice and we could have walked but the man has a heart of gold. So he's taking me, Megan, several others, and this guy ("Jason") home. I told "Jason" that I needed to talk to him, and he said ok. I asked BO'Malley to drop us off last. But then Megan, thinking she was looking out for my best interests, told BO'Malley to drop me off first. And when he did, I sat at the picnic table outside Taylor Hall and cried. I called Megan. "Why did you do that? Now IM NEVER GOING TO GFET TO TELL HIM HOW I FEEL!!!" Megan felt bad and came back and took care of me. She put me in bed and as always, Danielle was there on 3 North to help, and Megan left me in Danielle's care until I fell asleep.
---
I was right, I never got my chance to yell at him, and tell him what he needs to hear. That he lied and that makes him a bastard, and how it could have been so much easier with the truth! I was prepared for the truth because I knew how he was, until I listened to lie after lie and suddenly believed it could be more. Stupid Laura. Anyway by the time I see him again, it will be old news, and too late to do anything. I suspect with seeing him a lot and living 5 houses down from him we will become friends, but if this deep down anger doesn't completely go away, there's no telling what I might say when I'm drunk around him.
---
My dream was this: (short and sweet)
He was IN MY HOUSE, having sex with people who were close to me. She was a mixture between Chelsea, a good friend when I was growing up, and Ashley, a good friend now. For some reason he had left a soccer ball in my yard, and when I caught him he ran out to get it so he could leave, but I got to it first and hid it. Before he could leave, I let it fly. And I thought it would make things better. But I kicked the ball into the neighbor's yard and left it. I went back to get it, and Chelsea/Ashley beat me to it. I begged to have the ball so that he would come back because I had some more things to yell at him about.
---
Does it mean that yelling at him would only be a temporary fix? And that I know that deep down? Someone give me some insight here.

Similar Experience
Hey yeah Thomas I had a similar experience with a contract. You see, at the beginning of the year, I was the activities editor at the DEN. I got a measley $120 a MONTH, which I figured out only amounts to about 50 cents an hour. But since I like it, we don't have many specific hours, and everyone is awesome, I don't mind. ANYWAY- When I applied for another position at semester, they had dropped activities all together and added a position called associate campus. It was basically activities only instead of its own beat, campus and associate campus would work more closely. That's how I got so close to April. We were always together, always in there, always doing the same amount of work, and we became good friends. Williams, then ediotr-in-chief, told me I'd receive the same pay. After all, it's the same job. Made sense.
---
AFTER I bounced several checks I went into the office and realized that my direct deposit had only been putting in $74 a month, which is the pay any associate received. Once they put associate on my name apparently, I went down the pay scale. I was infuriated. But she showed my my contract, and I had not read it. It plainly said $74.
---
LUCKILY Matt and then-managing editor Jenni, went to talk to the office and got them to switch it. They explained the whole situation and Eastern direct deposited $200 something into my account shortly after school ended to catch up. Thank god for that. So I hear ya. EVERYONE CAREFULLY READ YOUR CONTRACTS.

No Post Today :(
I'm sorry I didn't post anything today. I had to cover a program where Augustana students were leading high schoolers in teaching elementary kids about art and science. Interviewing kids is like pulling teeth. I wasn't outta there till 5. The way I like it, I don't like sitting around doing nothing all day, as tempting as that sounds and as we all know that used to be all I did.
I have kinda gotten intoa certain routine around here, and I haven't talked to Aaron hardly at all. Which is kinda weird since I have seen him pretty much every day for the past YEAR, especially the past couple of weeks. It's just- I get off work at 5, come home, change clothes, hit the rec at 5:30, and I come home around 6:30/7. Then I get dinner while I watch Everybody Loves Raymond, check my e-mail, watch some more TV and do whatever little errands need to be done. Then I talk to my parents and I'm usually in bed by 10:30 to read the DaVinci Code before I sleep at 11ish. I need to keep myself awake longer though because I keep waking up at 6 refreshed, but then I go back to sleep till *;15 and I'm tired as hell. BUT I LOVE SLEEP!! in the morning.
Whatever happened to being up at 3 a.m. Laura?!!?? I guess it's just a work thing because when I'm at home I'm up till at least 2, and my classes don't start till at least 11 next semester!!
I won't be shouting for joy when I'm in the newsroom at 9:30 anyways working on the Verge. But who am I kidding I love it!!!
Anyways I hope you're all having a great day! (Leave me something fun to read in the morning when I don't have an assignment at work.

I won't be shouting for joy when I'm in the newsroom at 9:30 anyways working on the Verge. But who am I kidding I love it!!!
Anyways I hope you're all having a great day! (Leave me something fun to read in the morning when I don't have an assignment at work.

I fought the patio, and the patio won.......
Well today has been a long ass day so far! I went to class from 8am till 10:40am. Then I cut grass at rocwood rom 11am till 2:30pm. With a 1/2 hour break to chill and eat I begain working on my patio @ 3pm. It is now 5pm and I just walked in the door. I am beat ass tired! Building a wall is a little harder than what everyone makes it out to be... leveling sux ass just so you know. But when I get done with that part it should be a brease. I know rachel lowe and cory j offered to help. Thanks guys I'll let you know when I work on it again. Pry tomorrow after work around 5:30 or 6pm till whenever I get tired. So if you want to come over just let me know. Also I will pry work on it right after class on Thursday, I know cory j is going to fast eddies, but rachel if that works better for you let me know. I'm basically gonna try to be out there every day till I get the bastard done.
When I cut grass @ rocwood today my smooth ass forgot suntanning lotion. So I'm kinda burnt... in strange patches cuz I wore soccer shorts, tennis shoes w/socks, and a sports bra. I look like a freak, but nothing a couple tans @ the tanning place can't fix.
Thursday~ Yes I will be @ applebees' don't really know what time, pry around 8ish or so. Let me know when you guys will be out there.
Well my skank ass needs a shower real bad.... Talk to you guys l8er

Great Book
Hey check out what I'm reading:
Guide to Getting It On!: Includes Dating, Kissing, Love, Sex, Romance, Marriage, Oral Sex, Fellatio, Cunnillingus, Intercourse, Orgasms, Masturbation, Cybersex, the Prostate,
By Paul Joannides, Daerick, Sr. Gross
I suggest you guys see if any libraries have it, although whether you would want to check it out and have it on your record is beyond me. It's over 500 pages of how-to sex and graphic drawings, and helpful hints and tips. Not like I NEED them, like I'm actually putting them to use, but...
When my friend April (which I wish all of you would have gotten to meet) was Verge editor, they received this book for review. My future roommate (David) and a girl read sections of it and reviewed it for the DEN (Daily Eastern News). So since it is the Verge's possession, and there are two copies, the book came home with me this summer. Hey! It's technically mine for a semester... I'll pass it down at Pica Pole (when we switch positions at the paper) this winter.
Haha. good for a laugh I thought, catch you guys later.

... Rain... sigh....
Once again it is raining in good ole alton. Go fig. I'm never gonna get the stuff done for 4th of July if it keeps raining like this. :(
To Lala and Thomas: DON'T DO IT. I got added somehow now I get text messages from weird people who want to be my 'friend'. I really need to find that website and cancel cuz its a pain in the ass. So whatever you do don't sign up and I'll see what I can do. Apologies! Some girl off my hockey team signed me up for it.
So now, hopefully, everyone has pretty much been invited to 4th of July party on the 3rd. I really hope you can all make it, but not hey thats cool too.
My weekend was pretty laid back, basically cuz I'm really poor with all the 'home improvement' I've been doing, and being sick for so long. But now I am better and picking up some hours at my second job tomorrow.
Well I have monday night hockey, so I need to get some stuff done. Talk to you guys l8er

NEW LINKS ON SIDEBAR
Hey P.S. I messed with the HTML on this thing and changed two links. If you'll look to the side there are quick links to:
*my xanga online journal
*Diane's photo bucket (keep 'em updated Di)
*Google news.
If anyone wants to replace google news with a personal site, post the link with a message to me and I'll get it on there ASAP.
Also, check the links out sometime!

An answer to all your queries....
RACHEL-
Dude most of those people aren't really ON this blog. They USED to be and I haven't heard back whether they plan on ever writing again or if they want to be deleted. I'll send another e-mail soon. It's really just you, me, Thomas, Diane and Emily.
THOMAS-
I signed your wall on Facebook. You'll get an e-mail that tells you that though.
To look for people go to global and type in their full name. There should be a pulldown menu where you can search certain schools. As for Maryville, you can search anyone at your school whether they know you or not, under search. The only bad thing is, people at other schools have to OK you as their friend or you can't see their profiles. You can see mine now and see what's up. Plus you can find lots of people you might want to add on my friends list from other schools. Haha. JBondo is on there. Anyway this Web site can provide you with some entertainment. After a while, searching people isn't much fun anymore because you've found almost everyone you can think of looking for. But editing people's walls and poking people who least suspect it gives me a laugh.
Sorry 'bout Master Dickhead. Looks like you and Dickhead have become good friends. Is he bald yet? Just curious.
I'm off in 15 minutes!! Today was busy! YAY!
I did two stories on Relay for Life. I love Relay for Life :) Sigh.

Back from the weekend...
Hey Thomas sorry I never called you. I got in really late on Friday, then it was shitty Saturday and so my mom took me swimming on Sunday to make up for Saturday. But for sure- you and me golf- some other time.
Yeah Emily I've been getting mail about joining your text group or whatever to get free text messages. I delete them.
I will be home (and I find myself repeating and counting down) July 30, which is, in fact- 7 weeks from now, a total of 48 days, unless I suck immensely at math, which I do. I'd be down with the Broken Lizard party, why not?
Speaking of, did you see Revenge of the Sith? I saw it twice. And when it comes out, I'm going to have the marathon of my life, watching Star Wars episodes 1 through 6, back to back consecutively (as the story line goes, not as they were made.) Call me a nerd, what do I care?
Today, after I get off work, work out a bit and eat, I am going to send you that story I've been promising. It's called "Garden State and Dirty Laundry." I swear I could elaborate, drag it out through the entirety of my talking to this man, and sell it as a book when I get older. And hey, if the mood strikes me I might just improve my work and do that eventually. Names changed again of course, not like he would ever read it anyways.
I'm also going to update my Webshots photo album, which you can find on my facebook. I'll post the link here for non-facebook users when the pics are up, from Journalism banquet and DEN softball, then everyone can see the people I talk about so much. Kbye for now.
