Here comes Jesus! Everybody hide and yell Happy Birthday!

It is now officially Christmas here in San Antonio.
I want to wish everyone a great one. I wasn't really in the Christmas mood this year. Plus I was broke so no gift giving for me. But I was quickly jolted into the mood when my parents presented me with my Christmas present of $140. They stuck it at the bottom of a huge bag with lots of decorative paper and as they handed it to me they said, "Careful, don't drop it...it's fragile."
They later revealed to me that they had meant to give me $150 but couldn't find a ten-bill so they said "Fuck it, Merry Christmas!".
I also got a pretty dragon-fly necklace from my uncle and a coin purse from my little cousins. My sister, who was too broke to buy gifts, wrote a poem for the family. Every member had their verse in the poem which was quite sweet but my part was a little lacking I think:

Lily: Oh lily lily lily.
lily lily lily lily.....lily.

That was it. And she said it in such a tone as "What the hell can I say about you? You're so fucked up....lily lily lily.
I gave my little cousins a couple of baseball gloves and balls. I can't wait to take them to the park and break 'em in - both the gloves and the girls. They're scared of the ball =/
So here's another Merry Christmas wish to all of you. And I'll see you soon.

Admission Impossible

In this episode, we find Dean Lieber in a gruesome match-up against the Admissions Rep!

I sent an email to Dean Lieber explaining my situation. He has offered to try calling A&M and see what can be done about my situation. I just sent him the number and we'll see what happens next.

To be continued...

I have a problem...

To. Much. Lord. of the Rings. Online. Too. Much. No. Yes. Mmm.

up to date

So I saw what y'all were doing and I like.

To get up to date with what's been going on:

- My computer caught on fire but it's been fixed up and runs better than ever now. Still, I'm planning on leaving it here for the family and constructing a completely new rig - an amazing behemoth of a gaming computer. It's going to be great!

- I got rehired and worked the night shift for a while but now I'm back on day-shift which means I'm late almost every day...approx. 3-5 hours late. Friday was my last day because the company got shut down for 2 weeks. So vacation time!

- I submitted a transient application to Texas A&M at San Antonio but got rejected Friday. Their reasoning is that they only accept students who have completed the core curriculum. I explained that Amherst doesn't have a core curriculum and that it shouldn't matter because I won't be graduating from there so why should I care about THEIR requirements? I'll only be there a semester. I'm sending an email to Dean Leiber to see if he can help me out since I need to finish a semester here in San Antonio to be allowed to return to Amherst.

- I got addicted (with much shame so don't make fun of me) to Lord of the Rings Online. If you want to find me, make an account...I'm always there.

- I got a new boyfriend.

- I'm still playing the drums and getting rather good at 'em if I do say so myself.

- I'm still addicted to ice coffee.

- I still miss you guys terribly.
