That's why all children should be born girls

so instead of being sad I'm focusing on being mad at Snape and Malfoy.... seriously. I'm rereading the 6th book, and it's apparently been too long because I keep getting shocked at what happens. (I still remember the sad ending though...)

my new favorite song is "over it" by katherine mcphee. "99 problems" is also speaking to me as it never has before... haha. tomorrow I'm downloading some new music. sadly I sortof want the newest dixie chicks cd.

ok. time to focus... tomorrow will be big. no working or school to worry about. I have always liked wednesdays... it used to be to see carlos, but now it's for the shopping trip to ulta! there's nothing sad about new beauty products!!

I'm loving the 21 thing... I still have to try a sidecar though.... and I'm staying away from the 'nitwit juice' (most likely my sister is the only one who understands the significance of that part...)

I have been doing some Margaret Sanger research, and while I have some strong feminist views most of the time... she is just a bit nutty. I think it's so interesting to look at personal histories. Margaret Sanger grew up in a huge household (11 kids) and they were extremely poor, and the reason their household was so overpopulated (she didn't get the pony she always wanted) was because her mom didn't have access to birth control. Soooo long story short... Margaret Sanger fights for birth control (condoms, pills, and abortions). Her position makes much more sense when you put it in context of her entire life. She still believed in eugenics (like everybody at the time) which is not cool.

ok. so who else is excited for ellen to host the academy awards? yay! at least if the departed wins best picture I will have seen the best movie. (as opposed to the past few years... crash-no, the aviator-yes, million-dollar-baby-no...) I need to watch more movies. my problem is that TV just gets in the way, a good tv show (read: gilmore girls) is 5 jillion times better than a movie, because you get to spend so much more time with the characters.

ps. random fact: it was illegal in Connecticut for a husband and a wife to use birth control until 1972. in 1973 abortion became legal in all 50 states... is it just me, or is that a huge jump for Connecticut? haha.

my apt. is now gorgeous, and it will only become even more gorgeous next week with the addition of a new table/chairs and bedspread! yay! and after a few more trips to crate and barrel, it will be complete! That will be sooo nice, because finally I will be out of "moving mode" and hopefully all my stuff will have a home. (there are lots of plastic tubs still, because there's no place to put all of my junk!)

Tomorrow is the first day in my new 5th grade class! And the teacher (who I'm not sure what to call yet... melanie or miss scanlon?) seems so nice and helpful! Although she has teaching (a full time job), another second job, and she's getting her masters. So she's crazy busy, and intimidatingly organized. (I possibly just made up a word there...)

migraine. ow ow ow.

but other than that work was ok. not great, but ok. it was mostly ok because I was focusing on getting my new tv sometime soon! yay! and it will be so cool to watch widescreen movies because it's widescreen! so I won't have those little black strips at the top and bottom :)

well, that's all my news. it's not too exciting around meyah (cartman noise).

ok. so I'll admit it. this sick thing (and really, lets just face it, all the time) has me watching tons and tons of gilmore girls. I sometimes wonder what I would have accomplished if I had not fallen in love with the show or if I did not have a laptop (aka dvd player)... hmmm. ok! so tonight's episode definitely involved Luke/Lorelai drama because she's still married to Chris and didn't tell him about the character reference she wrote for his custody trial. ahhh!! the drama!! It's killing me that I have to wait another seven whole days for the next episode... but it's looking like my whole show will end up with luke & lorelai together at last. and I guess that works for me, since they have been predicting that outcome since forever, honestly even the pilot is full of hints.

work was semi-crazy tonight. (I mean, not so crazy that I haven't had time to write this and compose a b-day list... lol) and I still have to write 2 mini papers and watch/observe a candle burning until I get some observations. (I might be BSing that one)

oooh and I was scarred for life today! I saw a girl's stomach in my reading class today and was completely distrubed. I have seen some not-so-flat tummies before, but never this! it was a big pouch of deflated skin (looked kindof like a balloon that's been sitting around for about 3 weeks, you know lots of weird shrunken and liney bits). it was disgusting! ooohhh and it almost looked like she had a cleft stomach (like a cleft lip) because her belly button wasn't just a little hole, it was an entire slit continuing down through her bulge.... ooohh and the whole thing looked like cellulite/old person skin. ok. so, is this caused by extreme weight loss in the belly area or having a ton of kids? because (and maybe I'm being vain here) whatever it is that causes that I am avoiding... possibly forever. or I'm just going to suck it up and have plastic surgery. I'm not usually the biggest plastic surgery advocate, but that was the grossest thing ever. If that's what just usually happens when people's bodies age then I am officially not excited to be old. (not that I was ever jumping around about it...)

haha. if I was really a doctor I would shoot myself. ok, not really... but there's no way I would survive med school anyway... ewww. dead people!

soooo. I've been wearing pjs all day and didn't even wake up fully until 1pm (and I have not been to any discotecas lately...) sooo I think I'm probably having mono again. not fun. and a sinus infection and an ear infection. the moral of the story is: homeopathic medicine is not for me! grain alcohol is disgusting, and oregano oil does nothing!

in other news, I played elebits today and beat the really hard boss level that had been causing lots of frustration. yay!! and I'm not going to tell jared how to do it! (this second part is more satisfying than beating the level. haha)

ok. so if I had to make a new years resolution it would be to keep my apt cleaner.... whatever. last years was to eat vegetables, and we see how good that went over.

I like finding new exciting friends. it's weird because my new exciting friend is jared's best friend's girlfriend. here's how you know it's going to work with me...

*you talk a lot. for hours, about mindless stuff mostly.
*you love gilmore girls. they're not "characters" it's real life. and all of life can be analyzed through gilmore girl quotes. ex: "ethics, highly subjective and entirely overrated"
*you like to talk about celebrities. mostly just to mock them. well, really I mock everyone... ok. so mocking is a must.
*also complaining is good. it sounds like a negative, but bonding can occur. lol.

ok back to #2 up there...
