Who is your Tiger?!

well it is finally here. we have got our orders, our bags are packed and we are heading out the door. it is hard to say goodbye to my home town and my family. this is much different then going to college. i can't get a whim and drive home for the day or weekend. now going home will cost lots of money and be a long plain ride across the atlantic.
we are moving to england this week! but first we have our eurotrip, which isn't complete without stopping in bratislava for a few days. (peter's grandfather was born there) so it is london  on the red eye, munich, fussen, sailzburg, vienea, bratislava, rome and then stockholm. then back to london where we will settle in for the long haul.
wish us luck! i'll be sure to take pictures and write.

when i was in high school i was not allowed to do anything. i was quite literally cinderella. i was under lockdown, and had to do the chores and work for my things and still give her my money ulitmatly. i was cinderella. my only escape was school and the time i had with my friends there. i left that place and couldn't take those friends with me. i made new friends, but still kept in qusi-touch with the old ones through the advent of facebook. i've made many attempts to reach out to someone who during high school was a great friend. but to no avial has she ever contacted me back. just thinking about it makes me want to cry, because i miss this friend. i don't know why she doesn't want to be my friend. but i miss her and wish we could be friends again. 

well it's been busy and not so busy. tonight i've made to fricken awful batchs of chocolate chip cookies. the first batch spread out like pancakes...so i added a little sugar and flour to the batter. this just made them cakie and taste awful. eck...so then i tried and again as evident by the picture, they spread out like pancakes. this time they at least smell and taste like cookies. it just sucks because they were supposed to be for a bake sale tomorrow the help raise money for our breast cancer team. i wanted to do well. i don't know what happened. i think the butter was too soft. i just give up on these cookies. i made some peanut butter cookies that turned out good. so that is my contrubtion. oh well...
i hope everyone is doing good! and has a wonderful weekend. wish my team good luck, hope we can raise some wicked quid! and stay warm.

today i wanted to text my mom. i miss her so much and almost reached for my phone when i remembered that i can't text her. its nice when you forget for that one moment that the person you loved so much isn't gone. the worst part is remembering that they are gone. i've never had that happen before in the whole three years since she died. it was the nicest and worst feeling in the world. i hope she knows i miss her and love her dearly. 

Oy, i'm starting to get annoyed with our apartment building. and suddenly we have bugs in our kitchen! he has lived here for over two years and maybe once cleaned his kitchen and had no bugs and now that i keep it clean we have bugs? that makes not sense. i've got to write thank you cards, but i'm kinda putting that off, but there is no reason to. really should get on top of that! today went to chuck-e-cheese, which was actually really fun. and then later tonight saw ninja assasin, which was aweful. but it was only $5 and it was more to go hang out with friends and family. there are some pretty intersting movies coming out, but nothing that is stricking my memory at the moment. also saw blindside this weekend, that one was really great! well that is about it, hope everyone is well and is keeping warm, looks like most of the u.s. will be covered in snow. so stay save, stay warm!

i really need to clean up the apartment, but i can't bring myself to do it. after the nor'easter somethings have found there places, but other things have not. right now their is a giant pile of cloths, paper, boxes and so much more surrounding our dining room table. i'm not even sure where to start it, but i know i need to. i want to be able to get bookshelves up and pictures, but can't unless i get everything else cleaned up. it's been like this for several weeks. in all fairness the first week i couldn't do anything because we couldn't live here, but now it's been almost two weeks since we've been back. so now i've got no excuses. at least the neighbors music has stopped.  i wish i could find the drive to get this done, well i suppose doing it instead of sitting here talking about it would be a good start.....ugh.

so i don't know if anyone had heard of this before, but during mtv's awards in europe in berlin U2 was having a concernt in celebration of the wall coming down 20 years ago. so in order to prevent those people who didn't buy a ticket from seeing the concert U2 and mtv built a six foot wall around the concernt area. thats the kinda irony that you like to hear. 

today i've got a paper due. 10-15 pages--yikes. watching old episode of grey's. facebook is so distracting. i've atleast gotten 1/6 of my paper and lots of charts to fill up the paper! at least i've got that to help. and it's orgainzed, which is better then what i normally get. bringing my little brother over tonight for the weekend. think we will take him to the movies and the pool and then to a hockey game. woke up today and thought it was sunday, man need to get a calander or something. 

well last night i spent a good two hours cleaning up our disaster of a kitchen. found corn syrup dripping down behind the microwave. somebody let a bottle spill a year ago and didn't clean it up. i would have him clean it up, but then i'd just have to clean it up behind him. it was a good thanksgiving. got to spend time with family and enjoyed the lions, they put up a good fight. but as promised they came through with it and lost in the end. i hope everyone had a great thanksgiving! 

Hello everyone! it has been a very, very, very long time! i think i will be re-entering the mindsay community here shortly. since the last time i posted, i graduated college (got my bs in biology) and have gotten married. right now i am working on my master's and still cleaning up from the nor'easter that came through here a few weeks ago. gearing up for the exciting and thrilling holiday season. and eagerly awaiting for baseball season to start, as well as enjoying hockey season. just wish the lions would stop winning, we can't get the number one draft pick at this rate!
tata for now.

happy belated christmas and new years and kawanza and chunicha and whatever satan and the scientoligist celebrate this time of year.
i hope everyone got what they wanted and if they didn't i hope they find what they got was what they wanted.
i hope you warm winter nights with the one you love.
special kisses from special people.
and love so deep it has to have come from something unreal!
a year that is better then the last, but not as good as many to come.
and true happiness in yourself.
those are my wishes to all of you!

argh, 6 mo and i am done with this place! i just want to be done with school!!!

i hate end of the semester stuff. lots of papers, lots of tests and lots of projects. i have 17 days and then i go on christmas break. this will be the last year i will ever have a christmas break like this since when i start nursing stuff it wont be anything like regular school! i guess i shoulr really enjoy my last senior year. so i'm going to try! the stanely cup is coming to norfolk, and according to ed "i have to be there!!!" so i'm going home a lot more then i did in the beginning of the semester, but thats okay cause in spring time its going to be tight for a while of when i can go home! but i'll be okay. i'm ready to be home, but i know once i'm there for good i'll be wishing to be at school and for the "good ol' days"

wow, this is one of the best things i've ever heard or seen. just had to share with those of you who aren't my myspace friends.

sarah-i kinda feel bad for the anti-christ, he is the only one who doesn't have a name in the bible.
me-well he does, his first name is anti, he is actually jesus christ twin brother. those two had a tough time growing up! let me tell you, everybody was always like jesus you walked on water. and jesus you turned water into wine. i mean with a brother like that how can you not destroy humanity.
everybody-uuuhhhmmm
helen-you are so weird.
me-its a good thing god has a sense of humor cause i totally just gave jesus a twin brother.
helen-yeah you just re-wrote reality.

okay so i finished all my packing. at least i think so but i've been going from room to room trying to remember if i forgot anything. tomorrow is going to be interesting. well he told me to stop being a drama queen, and it oddly made me feel better. i think in part because he was actually speaking up and he had actually like grown some balls. it always bothered me when he wouldn't speak up about weather he liked to do something or not. i think we are going to be okay. i mean we have to be okay. as the day has gone on i've gotten more and more postive. i wrote to him that i'd write every few days, but i think i can make it a whole week. i'll just have to find ways to put all that built up stuff. probably see me blogging more and more i guess. tomorrow is his birthday and i don't know how to tell him. i think i'll leave him a "birthday" thing on myspace and then text him happy birthday. i told him i'd still text him every night that i love him and good night. eventually i'll get one back. oh well i've got to shut the computer down so it can be packed up! off to school tomorrow.

this is what i found on post secret today. the song is what really pulled me in. being in this mood just puts me so down. i can feel him, i can feel his heart squeezing in pain. i'll be fine sitting there laughing and then it hurts so much, and i start to cry. i know i can feel him...i can feel his pains, his sorrows...i want to do for him, so much, i want to be there to hold him. pull him close and just hold him tight until all the tears are gone until the sobbing has stopped. i should have held him longer when i had the chance. i shouldn't have let him go, just held him tight. what good did rushing out do? get him home faster to stare at his bedroom ceiling

i'll never let him go

so nothing else really going on. today at work was going pretty good, nothing really exciting. the kids were good there were only like 45 of them which is about half of the normal size. it was hot as hell and then it came! it first started with light head feeling a little dizzy, then it started to get harder and harder to breath. i was having an asthma attack, i hadn't had one in like 10 years! glad i got to the doctor in enough time, i didn't have an inhaler. i feel much better but it was quite an experience, one that i hadn't lived in a long time. well thats about it, got the count downs going!
3 days until daniel finishs the achdamy
two weeks until i go back to school
and 9 months and 24 days until i graduate! 

so i've got c-40 for like the umpteenth time. wow my luck.
