When I name my children, I will be putting great stresses on not having their name share the same t9 format as any embarassing words. so far, this is excluding a lot of names. Here is a list of what some of my friends’ names come up as before pressing the alternative key.

Brian- Asian
Jordan- Korean
Sam- Ran-san-pan
Sasha- Scrib
Anna- Bomb-boob-comb-coma
Adam- Beam

good thing i am not planning on naming my kids those things.
 Here is what t9 predicts for me trying to enter my future childrens names.

Harrison- Garrison (close, but no cigar)

Jackson- FIRST TRY BABY. THIS ONE IS A KEEPER.

Fox-  ANOTHER FIRST TRY. I AM THE QUEEN OF MOMS TO BE.

WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN.

in other news: i turned 19 yesterday!

i am mildly obsessed with tetris.

this is my new record.

in other news:

my college bestie Adam wants to be blogged about. so. here are some cute pictures i took of adam and some statements about him.

(k so i didnt take this picture, but i DID bling it out.)

adam loves korea like me.

adam stole my glasses, my hat and several of my shirts. a hole.

*like that could happen. gravity FTW.

quick statements:

i found this picture while searching for random letter combinations. this came from searching ‘blong’

cough syrup is great for coughs/sleep(but probably not as it is 3:14AM EST and i am still awake. ugh.)

i have been using my ipod more lately.

ate too many cookies today

mad urges to embroider lately. i really wish i hadnt left my supplies at home.

birthday is on Monday. 19 yall.

i am dehydrated.

i am dirty. n33d 2 shower.

laundry is expensive.

I am reading the diary of anne frank for the first time since 3rd grade. I brought it along on our trip to Italy. I remember being sprawled out on the textured bedspread in the room we rented in Florence, red fuzzballs occasionally floating up and landing on the pages.

coincidentally the next book on my nightstand/fridge is the Night trilogy by Eli Wiesel. Following that some book Sasha’s mother told her she had to read before she was intellectually permitted to read Nietzsche. Perhaps a less depressing book is in order.
maybe?

i am taking typography next semester. should i spring for the 75 bucks and get this ampersand shaped cutting board for my teacher for an guaranteed a?

in other news:
i used a new tag today. “Books” strange it hadn’t come up before considering i enjoy reading and up until a few weeks ago my mothers job was to edit book reviews, write book reviews and read books(what i’m getting at is that i had a lot of free books).

my boyfriend should also wear these really great swimming trunks. so beautiful. really.

lady on burda style made them. soo good.

in other news: only three days left til I leave for college. Its a pretty stressful time. I have so much on my to-do list that is kind of time sensitive and then i have all the people i want to see before i leave. Here are some of my iCal events and to-dos before i go:

8/20
FAM DINNNER AT MARCHE 530
ADRIAN HANGOUTZ
ANON, GOOD NURSE AT REGGIES

8/21
MORNING SHOPPING WITH IAN
DINNER WITH ERIC

8/22
AIRBRUSH TSHIRTS WITH SASHA

and then i leave on saturday! that is a lot of stuff to do considering i also have to pack the other half of my stuff. and complete this to do list:

Compare PC and Mac music libraries and burn the difference.

Memorize gracias ala vida and it had to be you lyrics.

snacks

laundry detergent

kleenex

Start PRINCESS BRIDE tshirt

tell dan wakenfield that his voice is not just morrisey, it also has a touch of stephen malkmus

Finish “OUR BAND COULD BE YOUR LIFE” and give it back to adrian

hamper

umbrella

showershoes

i mean, i guess i can wait to tell dan about his voice. But really. everything else is pretty time sensitive. mainly i have to pack. thats the big deal. and i am such a “stuff” person that i really need to have my things or i will be uncomfortable in my dorm.

oowee i’ma miss this pretty city.

as promised, or maybe i didnt actually post about this, but here are pictures of some of my college shiz. get pumped. they are cool stuffs.

i have like 10 days of class/finals left or something. here is what i did today during my composition class.

some explanation:
- my freecyle digest had a solicitation for a HUGE chinchilla cage.
- prom is soon
- i was thinking about mexico
- i dont even know what dashboard was about…
- after finals and AP tests every year SLK and i eat candy bars that we call ‘victory bars’
- my AP test is tomorrow and my class is having a breakfast. i am bringing in a playlist of music to pump us up.
- i draw ridiculous animals.

since everyone is dying to know:

-i went on a mini road trip
-had a party where all attendees were required to wear one color from head to toe–entitled “MONOCHROMANIA”
-visited with a long lost friend

cool.

things are starting to wrap up.

- i am officially in the last quarter of highschool. ever. heckie.snap.
- THERE ARE ONLY 5 MONDAYS LEFT.
- my prom dress is being shipped from Dublin, Ohio tomorrow.
- will probably pick up shoes this weekend.
- i am picking out dates for freshman orientation at a fantastic school.

-i am getting nervous and frantic about not seeing most of the people i go to school with. I care for them all, but very few of them do i consider myself close to. I will of course see Sarah Little because she is my BFF and we hang out outside of school, but lots of kids who i spend so much time learning (and avoiding learning) with will vanish from my life. its all starting to get very final. its exciting but daunting.  and though i try to delude myself into thinking that facebook in all its glory will come to my rescue reminding me to keep in touch with these friends, i will be busy with my life and they will be busy with theirs.

depressing.

damn.

do people spell it doggie or doggy? whatever.

my dad got my mom a scanner like 2 or 3 years ago and we never opened it. yesterday i was sitting in this dirty ass room feeling ambitious so i cleared off the desk and rearranged all the machines and got rid of all the unnecessary crap. I opened the scanner box and set it all up. Now this desk has some nice feng shui. or something. Nice centered monitor with speakers on either side, phone, printer, scanner. and there is still room for me to stash some crap while i work on computer shiz.

basically, i have wanted a working scanner for quite some time. i even forgot we had this scanner sitting around. so i scanned a few things today. rest assured that embarassing and/or cute pictures of me as a child are to come. for now:

image 1 includes my receipt from reckless records last week and a completely overworked to do list of school assignments. to break it down for you: first i listed all my classes chronologically and wrote down the stuff i needed to do in them. then i ranked all of the assignments in order of importance AKA how poorly i’m doing in that class. then finally i took the time to remind myself of the location of all the materials i need to do this assignment. here is an update. this is from march 6th and to date i have completed two of these. i really need to get down to business.

image two includes a mix CD that my friend Adrian made for my friend Emanuel but i had to be the courier service for. too bad i intercepted it and i took the liberty of putting this on my itunes before forwarding it to eman. i actually still havent given it to him. its sitting right here. and i even saw him today. oops. i’ll get it to you eventually. it also contains a bobby pin, and a Madeline who is completely psyched to be having her picture taken some day in Kindergarten in her velour dress. holla.

ideally, all i’ll have after this is one more post saying that all the other schools accepted me and then one about me stressing about where to go. and then a final decision post. whatever. i hope so. probably not. i am not a superstar for USC and NYU. i just really want to get into syracuse…

–Adrian and i are totally on the same page:

here is the aforementioned pie chart.

Green: still only UIllinois–sukkaz
Purple: University of Puget Sound, Illinois State University, University of Iowa, University of Kansas, Indiana University Bloomington
Yellow/Orange/Whatever i called it in the last post: University of Southern California, New York University, Syracuse University

in other news: spring break is alright. summer will be better.
