Pandora

Just thought I’d make a quick post about this awesome Web site I’ve found: Pandora.com. You can create your own “radio station” to listen to - for free! You “thumbs up” songs you like or “thumbs down” songs you don’t. I’ve been listening to it frequently lately because of the lack of a good alternative rock station here at university.

Any interested parties can view my Pandora profile here.

 

Of Being Addicted

I’m addicted to Facebook.com. (Don’t count on me adding you as a friend, though, because I’m really picky and routinely ‘prune’ my friends list.) Anyways, it seems like every hour (okay, every thirty minutes), I find myself clicking my bookmark icon for Facebook just because I want to see what’s happenin’. Even though I live a relatively boring and solitary life, I’m constantly wondering “what’s happening”. Is there something wrong with me? Hell yes. Do I care? Hell no.

I’m listening to Say Anything and that’s influencing my mental processes at the moment, so please excuse any weird outbursts that a song about laying in bed in boxers half-stoned with a pillow under my head

As you can tell, this post is mostly just a post that I initially forced myself to write and now I’m rambling about.

I have a psychology exam tomorrow and I’m really not looking forward to it at all. It’s one of those subjects that seem easy up until they ask you a weird question that common sense can’t answer, or that common sense contradicts the actual answer. So we’ll see how it goes - I’ll just have to turn off “common sense” for this one.

I’ve just went through and updated all my plugins. That took quite awhile, and I deleted a lot of plugins that were laying about in the folder that I had never even used. This is actually the first time that I’ve ever bothered updating plugins. Do you?

I’ve got one really good idea for a new brush set and I’m throwing around a few more. Like I’ve said previously, if there’s any specific set you’d like to see or even a general type, let me know. I’ve made so many brush sets that I’m just sort of out of ideas at this point.

 

Of Getting Ready to Graduate

…I graduate on May 20. Time has flown by. I could get all philosophical about everything, but I think I’ll let it suffice to say that I’ll miss everyone and I really hope we can all keep in touch (after all, that’s what Facebook.com is for, right? ;))

The flooding has subsided, for the most part, here in Kansas so I’m starting to move back into my room. Although at the moment, all I have in my room is my bed and my laptop (not even the carpet.)

Friday night I went out with David to Best Buy and Barnes & Noble. I picked up Bush’s Sixteen Stone and The Postal Service’s Give Up, which I’m only now listening to. I knew Bush would be good, even though it was put out in 2004 and I’ve heard most of the songs before, but I don’t care. I had some money so I finally went out and got one of their albums. I haven’t even opened the Postal Service’s CD… so we’ll see how that goes. (I really need to go out and pick up the Smashing Pumpkins’ albums that I’m missing. By the way, I heard that the Smashing Pumpkins will be releasing their first single on the air on my favorite radio station, 96.5 The Buzz Monday. I’m excited. Beyond excited. I can’t wait. My beloved Pumpkins are back, baby…!)

At Barnes & Noble I got a “Grow your own Venus Flytrap” kit. And a graduation present for Wry. Then David and I went to Spangle’s for some ’50s style root beer floats. He got a bit perturbed with me when I made myself a ice cream mustache and made fun of him and his whiskers, but oh well. Like he and the other kids haven’t given me any crap for being the only girl in my C++ and JAVA programming classes… :P I had lots of fun.

Today I went to the Cruise Night on Kansas Avenue with David - lots of nice old cars (the rule is only cars from ‘77 and earlier.) I’m a bit of a sucker for muscle cars with racing stripes… just a tiny bit ;) Ha, that’s a bit of an understatement. My favorite is the ‘67 Chevelle. Ooh, la la. Me gusta mucho el coche de Chevelle de 1967. :) That’s horrible Spanish but oh well. It was great, lovely weather, kickass cars… David :heart:

I got to see David’s cockatiel’s after the cruise night. Oh, they’re so cute. I love them. They just don’t like me, they hiss at me and fly away every time I try to come and pet them :( The only time they’ll let me near them is if I have food to give them :lol: Anyways, hopefully I will grow on them because I sure do like them!

I’m getting tired but hopefully I’ll be blogging again soon :) Finals next week!

Duh, duh, duh!

[sings to I just wanna see by Smash Mouth]

Sorry, kids, I just :heart: this song. And it goes like this, DUH DUH DUH, :lol: David, you know what I mean. And all the odd lil phrases here and there that don’t make any sense are probably from the song, so just ignore them. You’ll know which ones they are.

Still in the process of making the rest of those speech balloons for my blog. Getting there, though. :duh: See? :P

English was fun today. Here’s a certain comment that was hilarious that David made:

“You can’t just have a natural death in honors english, gawd!”

:lmao: He’s so funny. :heart: He’s also perfected his ‘yesssss’ technique. Its so funny, I can’t even describe it. Yes, I do believe he is one of the funniest people I know. :D He says he’ll teach me how to solve his rubix cube on the bus, but I don’t think I’ll be able to accomplish that… its way over my head :exclaimation:

I Just Wanna See is on repeat. I feel like a lil dork. :faint: And David has it memorized. [shakes head] A smart cookie, that ‘un. :lol:

I’ve got an Algebra II test tomorrow, on conic sections, hyperbolas, and some psycho formulas. Now that is gonna be fun, kids. [Yeah, right] The only good part is that I have a good view in there :devil: :hehe:

Duh, duh, duh!

We had a ’study hall’ in band today cuz so many kids were practicing for the musical. Of course, I wasn’t studying, I had better things to do. :hehe: Bet you can guess what. ;) I had no idea so many people knew about me and David!!! I told Casey, who told Katie, who told like everyone. Not that I mind, its just funny.

Oh no

So BORED! :faint: I wish David was on. He always entertains me someway or another. :hehe:

We’re all right, we’re just getting high…

I think I’m going to the musical Guys and Dolls with David tomorrow. Its gonna be fun, I think :cheerful: Oh man, I just enjoy being around him so much.

We’re okay, reeling in a daze…

Yep. Think that’s it kids. [By the way, David, if you see this and you think I need to add/edit/delete/ect. something, just email it to me and I’ll fix it when I get on at 8:30.. ;)]

It’ll be alright, it’ll be alright..

Plug :love: Rachel
