Cats

I think that I am definately a cat person. I have two right now, but when I get a house I plan on having like six. The one is very cudely and affectionate. Whenever I'm laying down watching a movie she'll come right up by me and do her little paw thing on my stomach and just make herself comfy and lay down. The cutest thing she does is when she wants attention she will go right up in your face and put her butt in the air and start twitching her tail and butt, it's very funny.

I've had her now for about three years. My mom says she was a stray, but I still wonder if she got her somewhere to replace one of my cats that died. She never used to be an affectionate cat either. She also used to be very energetic, but now she's more lazy. She also likes going outside to scratch herself on the pavement.

Whenever I go into petsmart to get food for the animals, my husband always makes us go look at the cats. I never want to because it makes me sad that they are there and I just want to take them all home. All of the cats that I've ever had in my life have been strays. They just must come to me knowing that I will take them in.

I always hated seeing stray cats crossing the streets. I just want to pull over and pick them up, but I know I can't. I used to think that I was a dog person, but after having my two dogs now, I definately think that I'm a cat person.

Riverdance

River dance just amazes me. Ever since our band did a concert on River dance music in high school I've loved it. The way they play those instruments is so magnificent, they are very talented. Of course the dancers are the best. They move so fast and are perfectly together. They must practice religiously.

I told my husband that I want to see River dance at least once before I die. Well, he's like, that's nice I'm not going. So finally last Christmas he got me tickets to go see them. I was so happy I cried. He ended up liking it a lot too. He also got me River dance tickets for my Christmas gift this year, I wasn't supposed to know about it, but I accidentally found out because I found out that they were coming to Wisconsin again and almost bought the tickets, but he's like no, that's your present. I was mad that I knew about it, but happy that I get to go again.

I told him now all he has to do is take me to Ireland some day to see it there. If I could go back to when I was real little, I would probably take tap dancing lessons. I always thought it would be cool to be able to do that.

Scary Movies

They just don't make scary movies like they used to anymore. The Poltergeist movies are ones that really stick out that freaked me out. They make the movies Saw. They just came out with the fourth one. Now come on....the first one was great, that kid directing it did an awesome job. Than the second one was ok, but that kid didn't direct the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Well after the second one they just went downhill. The third one was totally pointless. They put a bunch of gory nasty crap in it and think that it's actually going to scare people. And what's with the fourth one. That jigsaw killer is actually supposed to be in it, but he died in the 3rd one.
Than they have to come out with those stupid movies like hostel and hostel part two. The hills have eyes was another one that had 2 movies. I haven't seen either of those but how scary can they be. I would see them as being more cheesy than anything. And how many Halloween movies do they have to come out with before they start getting old. But they know they can make these movies because they know people will go to see them. The movies themselves aren't scary, whats scary is that people now days actually want to see people get cut up and mutilated and thrown in pig guts.
I just saw 1408 last night. Now that was a good scary movie. That is how they should make scary movies. It freaked me out. Stephen King is one weird man, but he sure knows how to write a book. It doesn't even pay to see scary movies in the theatre anymore because most of them are crap. Now if they made scary movies like they used to, than I would.

Papers and Reading

What is with all the papers that you have to write in college. The only class that you should have to write a paper in should be English. I have to write papers in my music class about concerts we are supposed to attend. In the paper we are supposed to use the terms that we learn in class and how it is related to the music selection. So pretty much I have to try to BS my way through two pages of crap. Same with my history class, but luckily I only have to try to BS my way through writing a page of crap.
Reading in college sucks. In my anthropology class the only reason why I read the chapters is because we have to do tests on them while we read. But I don't remember a damn thing from it anyway. My history class I used to read the chapters, but I stopped because none of it was registering and after I read just one paragraph I had no idea what I just read. So why waste my time reading it when I won't remember. I have so much other stuff to try to get done.
I don't even want to know what it will be like when I go to Illinois and get into graduate. When I go on to getting my doctorate I'm sure it's going to be even worse. To think I have to deal with eight more years of this stuff. I never even liked school in the first place.

Weddings

Why do people have to have weddings when it is cold outside? I had a relative get married last week and they had it outside. They lucked out with having the sun shining, but it was still cold. I was cold with pants and long sleeve shirt and a jacket and the poor girls had semi-short sleeveless dresses. I went to one again yesterday which she got really lucky because it was such a gorgeous day out. I have one next month and the month after that, so it will probably be even colder than yesterday.
I hate the people who have weddings in fall or winter that there's a good chance that they could have some really cold cloudy crappy weather and when the day comes it's just a gorgeous day out, the sun is shining, no colds and not that windy. I got married in May when it's supposed to be warm and sunny and nice, but instead I got a day where it was like 40 degrees and rainy and cloudy.
I suppose weather shouldn't matter though, but it would help. Especially when you have to have all your pictures in the basement of a church. My brother will be getting married in December in a couple years and I'm sure he'll even have a nice sunny day.

Moving

Moving sucks. It's a lot of work and you never know what the weather is going to be like. Will it be really hot or really cold or rainy. It's lifting heavy things and trying to fit them through doorways or up some really steep steps or down steps. Hopefully you have people that want to volunteer to help too.
My husband and I just moved half of our stuff out of storage today, and of course with our luck it had to rain. It's about the sixth time moving. The stuff we had to move was mainly the big heavy furniture. We moved it into a different storage above his parents business. The only good thing about all the moving we do is that we already have big moving vans for it. My parents own a lumber business and they have two big vans.
We are not done moving yet though. We'll have to move down to Illinois for school again. Than I'm sure when we are done with school there we will probably not have enough money to get a house yet, you know after having probably around $300,000 in school loans. So we will want to move into an apartment. Than when we have enough money and are ready to settle down in the right state were we can practice our degrees we will look into buying a house.

Morning Drive

When I drive to school in the morning, this will sound kind of bad, but I'm pretty much out of it. It's just a routine by now and I just end up finding myself thinking about stuff. The other morning I thought about what it feels like to know that nobody has faith in you. Mostly the people that care about you and should.
My family pretty much doesn't care that I'm going to be in school for the next eight or nine years slowing working toward my doctorate in Oriental Medicine/Acupuncture. I thought since it was something big they would show they cared. I guess that because I dropped out of a couple different schools and changed my major they don't have faith. But, a good of the population changes their major at least once. I just didn't know what I wantedto do.
Now I finally know what I want to do and I'm very excited about it. I'm also very scared. I haven't been in school for five years and being back has really hit me in the face. I definitely have to get back into the swing of things. The two things that are allowing me to believe that I can actually do this is that I have to think more about how much I love what I will be doing more than about how scared I am if I can do it or not. The second thing is the fact that my family doesn't believe in me pushes me to want to do it even more.
