This is more fun than studying

So Charlie is still in the shop, they haven't called to tell me whether he's ready to be picked up of not.  Mom's driving around in the rental car, a convertable Mustang, and I'm driving her car around.  I'm hoping that they will be finished with Charlie soon and that my parents will be nice and come bring my him up to me instead of me going back down there, I don't really want to go down there and visit them last weekend wasn't very fun and I'm afraid with both of them in town the weekends are just going to start getting worse and I don't really want to deal with that.  I like being in happy moods and my parents seem to rain on that parade.

In other news my interview with JC Penney went really well, the 2 ladies that I talked with were really nice and I'm actually really excited about working there!  They had originally offered me a position in the accessory which would get me 20-25 hours a week, not as many as I would have liked, so when I called and accepted the job I asked if I would been able to get more hours once I started.  So Kellie, one of the ladies that I interviewed with, said that they could put me in the juniors department getting 30-35 hours a week.  Not too bad, it will be a nice paycheck.  I'll be making a little over minimum wage, so hopefully I'll be able to make rent and all that fun stuff without my parents help.  But i've done the math and if I work 35hrs each week I'll be making about $1100 a month, which is pretty good, it will help me save money for next school year and pay for our disney trip and apartment stuff.  Also working there I'll get discounts on stuff which will help with anything I need for my new pad...when I actually have one.

Other then that my life has been blissfully boring.  I really don't want to study for my 2 finals that I have tomorrow.  I have high A's in both of the classes and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be getting A's in both of them so I guess I'm just not worried like I should be.  I'm going over to Edward's today at 2 to study for my Stellar exam.  It shouldn't be too bad, whatever.  

Harley has been a big help studying as usual, she sleeps on the foot of the bed while I sit in her spot with my study stuff all around me.  She's really good at telling me when I need a break too.  I'll get up to go to the bathroom or go get a snack and I come back to her in her spot sleeping on my book or notes.  Silly puppy, she leads such a hard life, and thankfully she doesn't drool in her sleep!

ok I'm going to actually try and study now.

A mini Rant

I want to go back up to Austin.  This weekend (the past 48+ hours) has made me realize, again, why I don't like coming down to my parents house.  The only reason I'm not back in Austin right now is because tomorrow is Mother's day and for some strange reason, even though my mom is being a total witch with a capital B, I feel the need to stay down here to be with her tomorrow since the gift I got her won't be here until next week since she was supposed to be in Hawaii until next Sunday.  Both my parents are getting on my nerves, they are treating me like I'm a little kid that needs to be told what to do and how to do it.  I decided to be nice and make lunch for everyone today and my mom walks into the kitchen and starts telling me what to do and how to cook, I know how to cook, the lunch I made I've made tons of times for myself, but I get down here and I don't know how to do it, I need my mommy to tell me what to do and question why I'm putting stuff on there or how to cook squash and start cooking things when I'm doing it.  I wish I could go back to Austin and not be bothered.  My mom just stormed out of the house, no reason...apparently from what my dad said we were all going to go up to Austin today or something like that, but didn't feel the need to TELL anyone this, so she gets mad and storms out of the house without telling us why...whatever

Procrastination at its best

OK, so nothing exciting has been happening in my life lately.  I got my test back.  On my Solar System exam I got a 94 an then on my Stellar I got a 101 *woot*!! I'm pretty sure that it's the highest grade in  the class, I'm excited.  

The guys from the construction company are going to be paying for a new hood on my car.  I need to ask my mom if I can borrow her car while mine is in the shop.  They people that gave me the estimate said that it would be a least a 3 day job...I figured since mom will be going to Hawaii to visit my dad for a week I can get it in then, that way the guys don't have to pay for a rental car...and i don't particularly want a rental car.  The people that did the estimate said that it looked like something metal fell on my car and then bounced...or as Oscar put it, someone sat on the hood...poor Charlie.

Hmm...other news...I got a fish today.  He's so cute in his 1 gallon tank, he's so tiny that the filter pushes him around. ^_^  I'll have to try and take a picture of him.  I was out looking/trying to get ideas for Jenny's Graduation gift.  I have Tipti's and Heather's all finished/figured out, all I need is Jenny's...and maybe Chris...Anyways I was near the Petsmart on 51st and decided to go in and look and see if they were having any specials on Harley's food and look at the fish...and then I ended up buying one and an orange tank to go with it...now all I need is a name for him.  He's a Black Moor goldfish.  Any suggestions?  

OK I've got nothing else interesting happening in my life,

XOXO kids

Excitment...well maybe just for me ^_^

Today there were 2 extrasolar planets that are Earth like *sqee*  Here is the article from Yahoo!!

HATFIELD, England – In the search for Earth-like planets, astronomers zeroed in Tuesday on two places that look awfully familiar to home. One is close to the right size. The other is in the right place. European researchers said they not only found the smallest exoplanet ever, called Gliese 581 e, but realized that a neighboring planet discovered earlier, Gliese 581 d, was in the prime habitable zone for potential life.
"The Holy Grail of current exoplanet research is the detection of a rocky, Earth-like planet in the 'habitable zone,'" said Michel Mayor, an astrophysicist at Geneva University in Switzerland.
An American expert called the discovery of the tiny planet "extraordinary."
Gliese 581 e is only 1.9 times the size of Earth — while previous planets found outside our solar system are closer to the size of massive Jupiter, which NASA says could swallow more than 1,000 Earths.
Gliese 581 e sits close to the nearest star, making it too hot to support life. Still, Mayor said its discovery in a solar system 20 1/2 light years away from Earth is a "good example that we are progressing in the detection of Earth-like planets."
Scientists also discovered that the orbit of planet Gliese 581 d, which was found in 2007, was located within the "habitable zone" — a region around a sun-like star that would allow water to be liquid on the planet's surface, Mayor said.
He spoke at a news conference Tuesday at the University of Hertfordshire during the European Week of Astronomy and Space Science.
Gliese 581 d is probably too large to be made only of rocky material, fellow astronomer and team member Stephane Udry said, adding it was possible the planet had a "large and deep" ocean.
"It is the first serious 'water-world' candidate," Udry said.
Mayor's main planet-hunting competitor, Geoff Marcy of the University of California, Berkeley, praised the find of Gliese 581 e as "the most exciting discovery" so far of exoplanets — planets outside our solar system.
"This discovery is absolutely extraordinary," Marcy told The Associated Press by e-mail, calling the discoveries a significant step in the search for Earth-like planets.
While Gliese 581 e is too hot for life "it shows that nature makes such small planets, probably in large numbers," Marcy commented. "Surely the galaxy contains tens of billions of planets like the small, Earth-mass one announced here."
Nearly 350 planets have been found outside our solar system, but so far nearly every one of them was found to be extremely unlikely to harbor life.
Most were too close or too far from their sun, making them too hot or too cold for life. Others were too big and likely to be uninhabitable gas giants like Jupiter. Those that are too small are highly difficult to detect in the first place.
Both Gliese 581 d and Gliese 581 e are located in constellation Libra and orbit around Gliese 581.
Like other planets circling that star — scientists have discovered four so far — Gliese 581 e was found using the European Southern Observatory's telescope in La Silla, Chile.
The telescope has a special instrument which splits light to find wobbles in different wavelengths. Those wobbles can reveal the existence of other worlds.
"It is great work and shows the potential of this detection method," said Lisa Kaltenegger, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

Your car would be Happy to see you ^_^

Ain't it cute!  It's called "Peapod Mobility"  

Anyways here's the story that goes with it.

http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/02/12/peapod-mobility-arrives-on-earth-day/

Soo..

So life has been pretty boring of late.  Didn't do anything exciting for Spring Break, except work for mom on soccer because all her coaches and people are stupid and either can't read or just don't listen.  

My 2 test from the week before spring break I got a 90 and an 89...yay.  Other than that life has been very boring, go to school, study, sleep...you know the norm.

I did decide that since everything has been kinda boring lately to watch Sailor Moon Live Action...and let me tell you, the live action version is WAY better than the anime, and almost as funny as the Musical(yes there is a musical, I can't watch it with a straight face!)  But I've decided that the guy that plays Mamoru has the best facial expressions, especially his range of disgusted faces(wtf pic) EVER! His pained face isn't bad either.  I wish that I could find more pictures of him, he puts a smile on my face, and I can't help but laugh!  What are your thoughts?  If you want to see the best facial expressions watch Act 48 (I think that's the number, it's the episode before the last act?) 

Ok here is part of the best facial expression episode, it starts at the end.

The beginning of this one continues the funny faces!

Go watch them, his outfit is funny, looks like he has a penis or something coming out of his shoulder, and he looks constipated!

Starting off my Spring Break with a Nap

I would like to join the group of college students, and other people of the world, that are against Springing forward.  Ever since that hour was taken away, the week before you have 2 test on the same day no less, I have been exhausted!  My alarm goes off in the morning and its still dark...that's just plain evil!  My fuzzy brain looks up and say 'oh it's still dark outside...that means I can go back to sleep!'  Not good!

On another note...Texas needs to PLEASE stick with just one kind of weather.  So last week my allergies started acting up and since the temperature has been nice, we had the windows open to keep the house cool and save some money, but now thanks to this little cold spell that has come through is making me feel more like crap!  I keep coughing and it's just plain icky and I want it to go away...and I want the warm weather back!  What am I supposed to do with my spring break if its cold...what kinda sick joke is mother nature playing here...unless she's just doing it now and then next week is going to be really pretty. ^_^  Next week should be fun...I get to house sit for my parents...which means that I'm going to be alone with Nikki, Stormy, and Harley in that big house...Nikki and Harley will be fine, it's Stormy that I think I might have the problem with.  She has a tendency to pee and poop in the house if you don't get your ass out of bed fast enough for her majesty.  Nikki can get that way about food...if you don't feed her promptly then she won't leave you alone.  But the good thing is, I can drive my parents cars all week long, which means that I can save gas in my car, that way I don't have to fill up down there using my credit card.  Other then that there will be a lot of homework and reading doing next week...maybe... ...and watching cable TV on the big screen tv he he he watching Serena slap Dan in high defenition muaha ha ha ha ha!!

*ok Rant on, if you don't want to hear/read it stop right now!!!!*

Starting from the beginning.  So last semester I got the Fossil leather Longhorn purse from the Co-op that I've always wanted, but have been to cheap to use my own money on, well when I got my rebate card thats the first thing that I went and bought.  I go home and my mom sees it and says she likes it.  During Christmas break we go to the outlet malls in San Marcos for Christmas shopping and fun and what do we happen to come by at the Fossil Store, my purse, and guess who just HAS to have it?! My mom...so what does she do, she buys the exact same one that I have, she doesn't want the lighter brown or the black one, she has to have the dark brown one that I have!  So I think whatever, so we'll have the same purse, big deal, I don't see them that often whatever.  So in January I got my perfect purse, well for me at least, it's my navy blue coach that I carry around everywhere and I love it sooooo much!  I go home for the first time this year after coming back(and buying the purse) and my mom sees it and wants it.  She asks me when I got it, I lie b/c they harp on me about crap and I just want that visit to be as painless as possible.  So my mom and me are going somewhere and she's complaining about how much she doesn't like her purse and still bugging me about my purse...asking questions about when I got it, how much I paid for it and the one question that she keeps asking is "When you got it why didn't you think to get one for me?"  So to get her off my back, and for me to not yell at her and tell her to STFU! I go look on eBay for the stupid purse and find it in the navy blue that I have and then also black and the classic coach tan color and send picture of them to her to see which one that she would want so that she can get off my friggin back.  So she's narrowed it down to the black one and to the navy one.  She keeps asking me which one she should get...why the hell does she always ask me that?!  Why the hell should I care, I'm not the one that's going to be using it and crap like that, why do you need my friggin opinion of it, heaven forbid she uses her own brain and choose for herself.  So I keep telling her to go for the black one, that way she actually doesn't have the exact same purse as me...she has the same look and everything, but different color...I don't care.  But she keeps saying..."I do like the blue one, but if I get it would you care if I have the same purse as you?"  How the fuck do you answer that?  Do I care that my mom has the exact same purse as me?  Yes I fucking mind that she keeps getting the same purses as me...pick out your own damn purses woman! SERIOUSLY!  But can I say that to my mom, no.   So I have to order the damn navy purse and it showed up yesterday and when I told my mom she said she wanted it now.  Seriously, I can't have anything that is just my own that my mom likes.  It pisses me off!  The one coach purse that when I first looked at it was like I really like it, it's the perfect color, it's comfortable to carry and it's magically AMAZINGLY in my price range...and now my mom has it.  What the hell!  I mean I know I have like awesome taste and I'm totally amazing at finding sale items that are even awesomer =p but still, I'm not looking for something my 50 year old mom wants too.  Is she trying to stay young or something?  For the love of god, can't I have my own life with my own things?!

Ok rant over...sorta, there are many more things that I want to say, but I can't get it to come out right...and there are a lot of words that shouldn't be said...>_<

*Last word on Rant*

Mom ain't getting her purse until she pays me...there is no way in hell I'm letting them do this crap to me anymore, I'm not paying for stuff for them and then them not paying me back!  they complain when I say I have no money, and then I say right now since I don't have a job I'm putting everything on my credit card to save some money, in a since, and then they ask me to buy them things and to put it on my credit card and then they will pay me back...and then they don't, this isn't happening anymore!  I'm being a big girl and putting my foot down!

*Rant officially over*

XOXO
