August 27, 2000 5:15pm - Why are freshman so annoying? They're loud, obnoxious and stupid. When I was a freshman, I did everything to not look like a freshman, but for the last two years, the freshman crops have been the lowest tier on the IQ pyramid. It's already obvious who the freshman are: they wear high school shirts and sweatshirts, they're short and look like 12 year olds, and they just look out of place because Chico has a strange effect on what you wear to school and those who have been here for awhile tend to dress like they've looked like they've been here for awhile. Today, this guy came in and his voice was sooo high. I almost had to cover my ears while he was talking because I couldn't take it anymore. sigh...
August 19, 2000 8:49am - Welcome to my morning, welcome to my day. I'm the one responsible, I made it just this way. I make myself some pictures, to see what they might bring. I think I made it perfectly, I wouldn't change a thing...la la laaaaaaaa la la la la la...
August 5, 2000 10:18 pm - This past week I have realized that music and television does have an effect on the youth of America. For the last six days, I have been exposed to 120 teenagers and their lifestyles. I graduated from high school three years ago and I cannot believe how much things have changed. The four of us in Cabin Gardenia, all of whom attended the same teen camps in 1993 and 1994, don't remember so much attitude and anger from everyone. Lastnight, while we (lead staff) were doing some last minute closing work, one of my home group kids was up walking around with another staff member and he said he couldn't sleep because he was having nightmares. So, we started talking and this kid is dealing with some tough crap. His mom just got out on parole from a Texas State Prison and has breast cancer and he just found out he had an older brother and sister, just to name a few things. As he went on and started to cry on someone's shoulder, I realized how easy my life has been and how camp is one of the only outlets these kids have that is positive and isn't effected in anyway by television or radio (mainly because we have neither). I looked at these kids and just wondered wtf is going on in this country...
July 28, 2000 11:29 pm - I'm home right now so I can wake up early tomorrow and drive to Chico to move out of my apartment and into my new townhouse. yay
July 28, 2000 11:30 pm - I spent this last week as a fill in counselor. The seven girls I spent the week with in cabin Sugar Pine reminded me how much fun it was to be a camper and that camp friendships do last forever. I know this because cabin Gardenia (that tent cabin about 1/4 a mile north of the dining hall represents it...oh and btw, that's where I live :) )
June 11, 2000 10:30 pm - I suppose you're wondering how my lunch/day with Joe went. He's a great guy and he's fun. Joe has a lot to learn about California tho - like we have mountains everywhere and Great America isn't the only park in California that's next to mountains (like Magic Mountain...I wonder where the 'mountain' part of the name came from :) ) kissy kissy :)
June 11, 2000 10:33 pm - Helloooo there. Did ya download Tyler's debut as a wannabe boy-band member? Click Here to email him and recruit him for your next party.
June 11, 2000 10:34 pm - Tyler and I are starting a new trend. I can't wait 'til I see it on a crappy sitcom next year
June 11, 2000 10:35 pm - Today, we went to Santa Barbara and shopped downtown and while we were at Banana Republic, this guy who worked there came up to Tyler and said something like, "These jackets are sick" meaning that the jackets were cool. First of all, this is one trend that needs to die, "Sick" is not a word that needs to be given another meaning. My first impression of this guy was that he was lame, so I proceeded to give him the lameasssalesman test: I asked him if he wears Capri pants, and he admited to wearing them and liking it. Right after he said yes, Tyler quickly hung up the jacket and we ran out of the store laughing at the poor boy who pretends to be able to afford Banana Republic clothing, but can only settle for Old Navy.
June 11, 2000 10:37 pm - On that same note tho, the salesman at Structure, when asked the same question about Capri pants, said "NO" and proceeded to tell us why they were lame and Tyler and I clapped and cheered, "Good answer, good answer." Also, the guy at Ben & Jerry's in SLO, when asked about capri pants, said, "What are those?" and again, Tyler and I cheered, "Good answer, good answer." Oh, and on the Ben and Jerry's note, eventho it says "Dish" on the menu, don't say "Dish" because the person helping you will say "cup" as if they're not the same thing. I quickly pointed out that it said "dish" on the wall and then Tyler asked for his on a plate, as opposed to a dish or a cup. The guy just smirked and gave me my "cup" of Cherry Garcia. He was a good sport tho, I'll give him that much.
June 7, 9:47 am - Yeah ok, so LeeAnn and I went out lastnight and had fun. She drank way more than I did and she's hungover hahahaha. Well, so am I, but not like her. I just have a headache, but since I packed all my stuff in May in boxes, I can't find my Ibuprofen. All donations of drugs are appreciated. Please leave them at my doorstep. Thx.
June 7, 9:49 am - As I was driving up here yesterday, I was listening to some news radio stuff and they were talking about the central valley's air quality and how Visalia, Fresno and Bakersfield were the worst and blah blah blah. It's sad that when I was a kid, I could stand in the middle of my street and look to the east and see snowcapped mountains in the winter and green tree-lined mountains in the spring. Now when I stand in the middle of the street and look, all I see is this massive pink tiled roof and brown smoggy shit and sometimes, if I'm lucky, I can see the outline of mountains. Lovely. I remember driving to Lindsay to go to my grandparents and being able to see Homer's Nose and other mountain formations. Today, I'm lucky to even see a mountain. It's unfortunate that no one in the valley seems to care that the mountains are disappearing behind the pollution - I guess no one ever took the time to look at them or perhaps never noticed them at all. What's even more sad is there's a place above Grant's Grove (You know, that kind of famous place for Redwood trees in Sequoia Nat'l Park) there's a place where kids hike to called Overlook. (it's the hike all the kids hate at camp cuz it's soooo long and it takes all day to get there, but the view is worth it.) It's called Overlook because you can look out at the valley and see Fresno on one side and Visalia on the other. I remember, in 1991, when I first hiked up there, I got up to go to the bathroom (it's an overnight hike and yes, I peed outside) and it was around midnight, and the view was amazing. All the city lights and the stars were quite fascinating because that was the first time I had really seen such sight. What was even cooler was the fact that if you looked really closely, you could see the McDonald's golden arches in Fresno. I hiked back up there last year and when you look out at Fresno, you can barely see the city lights because they're covered in smog, but the stars are still beautiful. I wonder if people realize what they're destroying...
June 7, 2000 10:51 am - I'm eating chunky vegetable chicken soup. I normally don't eat any kind of chicken noodle soup except when I'm sick, but it was the only thing that seemed safe to eat in my cupboard.
June 7, 2000 10:54 am - I'm still peeling...sigh. Not so much my back and chest anymore, now it's my forearms and my right leg. yippee.
June 6, 2000 11:37 pm - mmmmm there's nothing like the scent of manzanita bushes in the morning. That's the only thing I'm going to be thinking of when I'm sitting in the dentist chair tomorrow. sigh
June 6, 2000 11:50 pm - I'm really excited for this summer. Not just about working at the place I've loved all my life, but with kids and knowing I'll make a difference regardless if I'm just at the waterfront or at meal times. I know that by positively acknowledging a child's presence is enough to make a positive impact in their lives affirming their reasons for being there. Yeah, I'll miss teaching swim lessons to hundreds of kids, but there isn't a campfire at the pool, let alone boats, canoes or windsurfing boards. Plus, hiking around the pool isn't the same as hiking around the lake...
June 6, 2000 11:58 pm - I'm always curious as to why people that generally don't care for me visit regularly. I'm not trying to be mean or dropping a hint, just curious. I guess if they want to say hi, they will...
June 7, 2000 12:00 am - I went to the Cancer Survivors Ceremony/Party/Dance/Whatever this evening with my parents and saw quite a few people I knew there, mostly neighbors. I guess I hadn't realized how many women in our neighborhood, both survivors and those who have passed on, had been diagnosed with cancer, mainly breast cancer. It makes me wonder about the powerlines that run behind our house on the other side of the irrigation canal...
May 24, 2000 1:27 pm - There's nothing better than camp. When the valley floor is reaching temperatures of 110, Sequoia Lake is in the mid 80s and wonnnnnnderful. I don't wanna grow up. ;)
May 22, 2000 11:20 pm - I'm sorry for getting you fired. I mean, it's not my fault since he's not my boyfriend and I wasn't the reason he was where he was, but I'm still sorry.
May 22, 2000 11:21 pm - I'm drinking a cherry slurpee right now. It seems that 7-11 has picked up on the idea of putting more air than ice into the drink. boo
May 17, 2000 9:30 pm - Holy cow, I'm actually home before midnight.
May 17, 2000 9:31 pm - "RW" stands for "Raging Whore." That is what my friend LeeAnn is. Well, not really whorish, she's raging quite nicely. Errm, maybe vice versa...hmm. Yeah yeah yeah alcoholic.
May 15, 2000 9:10 am - This is just a shoutout to all the professors who don't know what DEAD WEEK means. Helloooooo...
May 4, 2000 11:03 am - Drinking on a weeknight is baddddddddddddd, sigh
May 4, 2000 11:05 am - On a different note, wanna see the Managing Editor of the Orion? His name is Randy, he's single and he's a cutiepatootie. Click Here to see the guy in action
April 28, 2000 6:55 pm - Hallooo, I am at work right now and I am having the time of my life. I apologize to anyone who used to frequent this page often because the latest gossip would be here, and now it is not here anymore because I'm too busy to gossip online. I'll still gossip with you, but you have to find me first :) It's not that I dont want to gossip with you, it's just that I'm a busy beeee and my presence is needed in more than one place at any particular time.
April 15, 2000 1:35 am - Dear Lord in whatever heavens exist, please help me to understand why people make quick judgements and snap on a whim. I do not understand why they do it or what they think they're accomplishing by doing so. Please help them to see the wrongs in their actions and lead them down the passage of truth.
April 6, 2000 6:00 pm - My ears have finally started to peel. Yipee.
March 27, 2000 10:00 am - I am not your senorita. I am not from your tribe. In the garden, I did no crime.
March 27, 2000 10:01 am - I am not your senorita. I am not from your tribe. If you want inside the well, boy you better make her raspberry swirl.
March 27, 2000 10:02 am - Things are getting desperate, when all the boys can't be men...
March 15, 2000 1:05 pm - : One G: drive. Was formerlly a part of my 6 gig hardrive, but now is missing and it has all my nifty evil pictures on it. If found, the entire partition and its contents, you can have my 13 gig hard drive.
March 9, 2000 8:32 am - Production editor - it feels good. /so applause.wav
March 4, 2000 9:15 am - Ohh boy, a new month. Lastnight, the greatest thing happenned. My friend Kristin (I work with her eight hours a week and we have a loads of fun looking at ebay while no one comes in) and I went to Normal St. (it's a bar for you non-chico folks) after work just to hang out and stare at the bartenders (there are 2 that are exceptional good looking and nice). We weren't dressed up like most of the females in the bar, I was wearing a sweater, jeans and my flip flops and she was wearing a cardigan and some overalls since we weren't really there to pick up or flirt with guys, well, except maybe the bartenders. Anyways, we were sitting there talking and laughing and there was this guy standing next to us and he ordered his drinks and then when the bartender gave them to him, he said, "and I'd like to buy these two ladies here a drink" and pointed to us. I felt kinda weird cuz he was quite older than us, prolly by ten or so years and we just smiled and I dont remember saying anything or Kristen saying anything. So then he took his drinks and came back and said, "I dont want you to think I'm hitting on you because I'm married, but I just wanted to buy you lovely ladies drinks because you girls aren't frat girls" lol talk about funny. Then he came back and said, "I believe the term is "sorority." and then he was like, "come sit with us and blah blah blah." So we sat near them, but not with him and it ended up that he was the owner of this coffee shop that Kristen goes to alll the time. Kinda funny, I thought.
February 17, 2000 11:50 am - I'm going to be 21 on the 21st. I think you ought to buy me a drink.
February 7, 2000 9:55 am - The more I think about it, every minute I sit here being bored, gossiping about people I think are fake, or talking to someone who is trying to be nice to me in hopes I'll be impressed, are minutes I won't ever get back. I have finally seen what my two good friends saw years ago in people. It's quite sad that it has taken this long for me to see it - what's even more pathetic is that some people will be stuck in this whirlwind forever and will never come to the eye of the problem and realize how much flatter their ass has become due to their attention obsession. My ass is just fine, thank you very much, but others, however, are not.
February 7, 2000 11:15 pm - I'm drinking a cherry Slurpee� and talking to a happy fun ball. Life can't get any better at 11:15 pm :)
February 7, 2000 10:01 am - On a different note, Karin and Ryan are taking showers at the same time, but not in the same shower. hehe I bet it's coooolllldd.
February 7, 2000 10:04 am - Oh, and before I go, I just thought I'd put a small blurb about how there are two more weeks before I turn 21 on the 21st. :)
February 2, 2000 8:50 am - I don't update this hardly as much as I used to, but that's a good thing :).
January 25, 2000 10:50 pm - I'm tired and hungry. If you're the first person at my doorstep in the next 10 minutes and you bring me a french fry or something, I'll give you $5.
January 18, 2000 4:48 pm - I've consumed enough tea today that I think I will just pee for the rest of my life. Isn't that nice. :)
January 16, 2000 sometime after noon - Im laying on the couch, totally free from any wires or phone cords hooked up to my ibook and I'm updating all of the pages that need to be updated. What's really scary about this is that I could really be in the bathroom doing bathroom-like things and updating. In a way, it's way cool that I can roam around the house and chat, and in another, it's really gross. heh
January 14, 2000 7:34 am - My body doesnt hurt anymore. Altho, while sitting in class yesterday, I started to yawn and my neck cramped up and the pain was enormous! I felt dumb sitting in the third row in a room of 200 people trying to make the cramp go away. I probably looked silly too.
January 14, 2000 7:35 am - Macs Rule. This weekend we're going to attempt to take over small towns with it...and then the world!!!
January 14, 2000 7:36 am - Ok, so the above is just a joke, we're not going to take over the world, altho maybe a small radio station would be fun
January 10, 2000 10:19 am - I'm sitting here, my body aching, and wondering why I'm sitting here updating this.
