I know the proper term is forecasters, but I like my way better.
Yeah, heavy snow is predicted. It is snowing now, and was when I went to and left my dance clas.s. But they also said we'd get 3 inches on Sunday night, and we barely got anything.
In other words, clas.ses might get canceled tomorrow. For me that would be ever so bittersweet. It would be bitter because I have a performance tomorrow, and then we'd have to reschedule it. (I should really rehearse for that). It'd be sweet because while having finished my paper for my corset project, I need to work on my presentation. I got a bunch of great tight lacer pics, but need to cover my other sections. Some history, and the fashion in today's sense aspect. I got good material though. I will pry share this weird corset law I know of. (There are 5 I've found) I also have a paper to work on for Sex & Gender. I have to pick a topic, find material, like articles and websites on that topic, and discuss the gender ideologies behind what I've read. I was going to do it on the debate of gay marriage, but am having trouble relating that. I may do fitness. I also have to edit the first act of my play for playwriting. It's called "So I Married A Vampire." I could explain, but that would take me a while to get the point across. Anyways, it is a comedy, and I make fun of stuff. But that is due next Monday, all 3 of those things. For Thursday, I need to have 4 routines down perfectly for Jazz Dance. I know em, but do sometimes make mistakes. Which is a bummer.
I'm just taking a break from my work right now. Putting off what I know needs to get done. Killing time. You get the picture.

I am starting doing visual research for my Costume History project, on corsets. And I wanted to use vintage Fetish shots of the models wearing corsets. I tried a few different searches, but came across adult sites. I clicked on one, cause I only need 1 or 2 pictures. It wasn't too bad. But ya gotta be a member, so that says something about the site.
I plan on trying eBay, and researching photographers. I always have my collection of Bettie Page pictures as an example. I would try maybe YouTube, but I know that stuff like that is getting removed. And I want more simple shots, nothing hardcore. I do have a necklace with a pendant I can use.
Oh, I went back to school today. I am slowly getting better. I have lots I am working on, so had to go back. The problem is I was having dizzy spells, and when I have those, I have trouble concentrating. And in Storytelling today, we did an improv game. Hard being random when you feel that badly.
I have a week to find what I need. I still have to finish the paper. And 2 plays. And another paper. And learn 4 dance routines perfectly. Yes, exams are coming up.
This is a quick update. I'm just glad that in 2 weeks, I will be off of school.
So Long & Good Night . . .

Mostly, I woke up Thursday with a sore throat.
Now I have a cold. And feel terrible. It is really hard to work on a project when you can't think straight. I was gonna spend all weekend working on my Costume History project. That didn't happen. I've been doing my best to finish what I have due tomorrow, though I pry won't make it to school.
Know what sucks about being sick? Besides not feeling all that great in general, I've been drinking so many fluids, hot and cold, that I've burnt my tongue, the roof of my mouth, and then you have to keep rushing to the bathroom to pee.
I lost my whole weekend due to illness. This is what is bad about making plans. But I did some shopping. I bought a skirt from Lip Service, and got free shipping. And a bunch of other places I shop at are offering free shipping. Granted, I never go out on Black Friday. Sometimes I go out on Gray Saturday. I have yet to come up with a description for Sunday. I do however know that Monday is called Cyber Monday. Dunno why. There are some books I want to get from Barnes and Noble, The Great American Pinup and Art Nouveau.
My mom is starting to decorate for Xmas. But it is my responsibility to put up the tree. Since I am busy for the next two weeks, I won't do it till the week before.

Hello friends. As with every Thanksgiving, I'm going out to eat. Saw New Moon yesterday. It had more action than Twilight, but still was really boring. Kristen Stewart isn't the best at carrying the movie, especially that her character only shows one emotion during everything. And it is funny with how many buff, shirtless dudes that are in almost every scene. It actually was only interesting in the beginning and the end, where Edward was present. (I saw it w/ my mom, cause she wanted to see it, and I wanted to see a movie.) But people coming out of the theatre, saying how they thought it was so great and couldn't wait to see it again. Whatever. Nice visuals, in scenes. The forests I mean.
But, tis all for now. I shall end w/ my usual cartoon dolls & new graphics to celebrate.

Cue Toccata and Fugue in D Minor!
And now bow down to our evil overlord, The Evil Puppy!
If you believe it. Actually, I meant to do this on the last Friday the 13th we had, way back in June, but I forgot. I don't really fall for the superstition, but it is fun. Yesterday, I learned that Thursday 12th was bad luck. My bus going to school was way early, so I missed it. I did luckily get to cla$s before my name was called, so I wasn't tardy. But I lost all my mints (snack on em in cla$$ while doing the cakewalk. I had to stay after cla$s to copy down the vocab I couldn't do before cla$$ because I arrived too late. Because of that, I missed my bus. And then the right earbud on my iPod blew out. So I had to listen to Memento Mori through only my left. Did not have the best day. Then that night, while I am allowed back on YouTube, I had to remove all my Bettie Page videos. I went from 23 to 17. And to think, at one time I had nearly 30. Well, I also removed another video, where I called Pete Wentz a name. Because even though the video is nearly 2 years old, the people commenting are annoying me. They keep calling me mean, even though I am simply sharing an opinion.
But it is nice to be on YouTube again.
And on Tuesday I got Memento Mori, special edition. I payed full price, but the songs aren't bad at all. In fact, this is the first album I bought this year where I enjoyed first play. I am slowly getting into the songs. I think I'll give it 4.5. But I do prefer Flyleaf's self-titled debut. The songs were easier for me to relate to, and there seemed to be more passion in em. Plus, I love Lacey's screaming, which is not on Memento Mori. While it doesn't match the first, it is still a good album.
Finally, Robert Pattinson said he thinks that pale scrawny guys are favored more by women than tan muscular guys. This freaks me out, cause I've been saying that since I was 17. I hate the thought that I think the same way as the guy who plays Edward Cullen. Don't have anything against him, but ya know.

To all!
(The pictures do the most talking today.)
Tis my favorite holiday, Halloween. I don't have many plans though, cause I got lots of running around to do. But tonight will pry just watch old horror flicks.
Oh, on that YouTube problem I have, I was told pinups are no longer allowed. Bummer. That's where most of my subs come from. But when I am allowed back on the site, I shall take down my remaining Bettie shows, and replace my background on my page. Hopefully though, I am no kicked off before then, November 12.
But anyways, I wish you all...

Well, only for 2 weeks, but still.
This is in regards to "Bettie Page: The Bondage Queen." Because she was.
My Bettie Page shows are coming under scrutiny. My most popular show ever, that had over 150,000 views in only a year got removed for "sexually explicit content, or intending to be explicit." Newsflash: it was not! It was a tribute show. And it wasn't even hardcore. I can't believe this. Apparently, if this happens a third time, I think my whole account will be terminated. So, time to get a new email and a new screen name, just in case. I have 4 remaining Bettie shows left. Also, I love my screen name. I don't want a new one.
I'm not supplying porn to the masses. It is for the fans, and not all are dudes. This is so unfair. I can't even plead my case, or at least not until November 12. By then, the rest might be removed.
Perhaps it is because of the bondage theme, but if that is the case, my other shows all have that in it. However, I have no nudity, and try to stay away from that.
This just really bugs and worries me. It said I had my video flagged by a member of the community as inappropiate. It's bad enough I have teenage girls upset about a video I made 2 years ago. It's old news, and I try to stress that. Now, my most popular shows shall be under attack?
I wonder how many new accounts you can start. I already have another one, but can't remember my password. I never use it.
Well, in 2 weeks, we'll see what happens.
So Long & Good Night . . .

I had to get a slight hair cut Thursday, and my hair stylist asked me what I was going to be for Halloween. I said I don't know if I am going anything yet, maybe just stay home at watch scary stuff (which ain't that big of a deal, cause hell, I'll do that on XMas). Anyways, she said she thinks I should go as Lady Gaga. She's a huge fan of hers. She told me she was watching that clip of Lady G of when she was performing in that club when she was 20/21 and she thought we looked quite alike. She said to me, "Yeah, you two have a similar facial structure and body. All you'd need is a long blonde wig." Not to mention out there costumes and theatrical stage makeup.
Someone else told me I should be Elvira, Mistress of the Dark cause I have that look. Or Bettie Page (black hair). I have seen some Bettie costumes I liked. As for Elvira, that ain't a hard costume, but to get her chest would take experimenting. I could always be Vampira, but my waist isn't 22", unless I tightlace it down.
When I was a child, I always wanted to be a Victorian Vamp. But now vamps are so cliched cause of Twilight, and all the other vampire franchises. (FYI, I call vampires "vamps.") But looking at old Halloween pics of myself, when I was 11, I was Cleo. And in one pic, I had a very Theda Bara look. Before I had heard of Theda. Sweet. I found a pic from when I was 4 of me being a cat for Halloween. I might post that. I was Tricky before I had Tricky.
Theda would be a great costume. An Edwardian vamp. Without trying to be one.
Well, Halloween, my holiday, is a week away, and my mom suggests going to a party or bar. Or seeing Rocky Horror's midnight showing. Still deciding. I don't know if I shall. We'll see.
As for Jazz, I got a B+ on the performance midterm. 22/25. I wanted an A-, which would have been 23/25, so I was pretty close. I missed points for turning on the wrong foot. However, I couldn't help it cause we had to turn on the left foot, and I can't balance on it with my ankle still healing. I told her that, and telling a few people, they thought I should be given that point back. My main thing was that I didn't have arm movements exact and came in early at one part. But considering I couldn't do the damn performance on Tuesday, and knew exactly what I was doing Thursday, so that wa a vast improvement. She said though I had great attitude and made it my own. Oh, I also got a perfect score on the writtern portion. 20/20. So My total was 42/45, 93%, an A-. It doesn't work like that, but for me, it works.
Ooh, this was long. Sorry.
So Long & Good Night . . .

I don't even remember how long I was on level 59, but I think it has been a while.
Went to see Cobra Starship last night. They were an opening band for Boys Like Girls, who I didn't get into that much. But the first band, VersaEmerge I liked. Bought their EP. I left late and was in the back in the beginning, but moved towards the middle for Cobra Starship. After they performed, got a drink and hung out in the back. The entire show was over by 10:30. I've never been to a show over by then. I also bought a Cobra Starship shirt that says "Hot Mess." Oh yeah, the shirt I wore, made by Felon, said "Put out or Get out" around a pinup girl. I got compliments on it by the guys at the Merch table. My mom hates that shirt too. She hates me wearing it.
Oh, I got an A- on my Storytelling midterm. The teacher and fellow cla$$mates said that they really enjoyed it. One guy said my look alone was captivating, and matched the tone of the story. One girl told me she's heard the story before, and she said that the way I told it is eactly how she imagined it should be told. I got tons of compliments on my voice and look. I wore a little cocktail hat (got compliments on that too) with a veil to add dramatic effect, which worked. I had my details pretty perfect too. Glad I passed.
As for Jazz, I dunno yet. But I worked hard on getting the moves down the night before, and I think I had it. And I studied the vocab well too. I won't know what I got on that for a few more days. Hoping for an A-.
Busy this week too. I have my first paper due in an online course, which I did research on today at a toy store. Well, Target. But they have lots of toys. I want to take a break next weekend, but I may go to see a ballet.

My title was between that, it's time for the crunch, & crunch time. But the title I chose reminded of a fav Boosh bit.
Yeah, it's between 12:30 & 1 AM, and I'm blogging? Well, I'm working on getting my story down for storytelling, The Legend Of The New Jersey Devil. I have it like 97% down. I have to perform it tomorrow afternoon.
Currently watching Cobra Starship on Kimmel. May see em this weekend. Still don't have a ticket. Even though they are not the headliners (Boys Like Girls are, and my mom originally told me to go because she thought one of the guys in that band was cute). Anyways, CS puts on one hell of a show. And I missed my 4th fav band, so might as well see my 5th.
Thursday is the nerve racking Jazz Dance midterm. Having sat out 2 cla$$es, missing one due to illness, and have trouble moving on a bum ankle, one can imagine how I am falling behind. I'm a good dancer, but was having trouble getting the routine down. Well, this evening I figured out what I was doing wrong, and ran it though twice almost flawless. I gotta practice, practice, practice tomorrow night. I'm not the only one having trouble, but I'm very hard on myself, since dancing is a strong subject.
I thought I'd share this. Reference to my title, one of the scenes. The second one is my fav though. Of the 2.

In case you are wondering, I never made the concert last week. Oh, and I was so depressed about it. Still saddens me that I missed it. Though TAI... will be back.
To make up I bought some stuff, a pair of boots, a ring, and a top. The boots hurt my feet, the ring looked better in the picture, and the top is okay. So I have stuff to return.
One of me teenage cousins, Katie, was in a car accident. She's okay, but the car rolled over. And it wasn't her car, it was a friend's. Now the car is totaled, and my cousin has $600 worth of tickets. Btw, she's only 16. Yes, so young, and nearly killing herself. Her mother, if you remember me saying this, is the one who thinks I wrote a suicidal letter in a cry for help. To this day, she still believes I am some pathetic depressed tart who is desperately seeking the sweet escape of death. And I am trouble finding remorse for my young cousin. It's sad, but it is her own fault. And her mother is so strict, I always knew she'd start to rebel at a young age. (And yet, I'm still the shocking one because I enjoy altering my appearance and wearing clothes that some seem to find offensive. My mother can be proud that I'm not nearly killing myself)
What else? I swear I had more to say. I'm struggling a bit to get the midterm routine in Jazz. Slowly but surely I think. I blame the fact that I'm so tired.
And another thing. If you remember me talking about that dude who is nearly 60 on YT who I told to leave me alone cause he was starting to piss me off, and I am already in trouble on YouTube, so didn't wanna risk getting kicked out for really telling him off, is trying to get me to talk to him again. I told him to leave me alone and blocked him, but he started emailing me. I forgot he had my email address. And I'm upset w/o YT, they changed our profile pages and can't go back to the old look. I hate the new look.

Tonight I had plans to go to see The Academy Is.... I had my day all planned out. I'd leave really early so I could be in the front. I had such a great time last year. I arrived kinda late, but was right up front for the band. And I touched William Beckett's hand. (Read some trivia bout him online. He has a 2 year old daughter. Just learned that last week. Found it very interesting)
Then I woke up sick. And missed my cla$$es today. Granted, due to another schedule change that didn't include the show, I was missing the second cla$$, but after that, come home, eat, and leave. I have a sick stomach and dizzy spells.
I was much worse when I woke up this morning, and after 5 hours, am slightly better. I could still maybe make this show, but right now it is hard to tell. This really blows, cause I was so looking forward to the show. Even if I can't be up front, I figured I could hang out at the bar till TAI comes and fight my way in the crowd as best I can. Though the chance I'll be better in less than 4 hours seems unlikely. I can only hope.
On the bright side, I did well in Jazz Dance yesterday (though for some reason, my body felt stiff while dancing) and my ankle feels so much better. I hurt my ankle on September 8th, so it has been 22 days.

The church I belong to, though haven't attended a Mass at in several years (I'm Catholic, if you're curious) has an exclusive club. How exclusive is this club? It is a club for the millionaire members of the parish. Simply titled The Millionaire's Club. I couldn't believe that. My mom told me this story, and someone else told her, and they were both shocked. Catholics are very cliquey and snobby. And having been one for 21 years, I can say this. But it makes me curious to know who these rich bastards are. Cause well, I'm poor, with only school money to live on, and my mom is unemployed. But these people pry are like my family, and don't believe in that kind of charity.
I am debating with myself whether I have a spending problem. I buy a lot. I am trying to control myself. Gets hard though.
Oh, my mom's birthday was yesterday. I was pretty generous, and spent a lot on her. She was pleased w/ my gifts, but felt guilty that I spent a lot. I got her a pair of earrings, a purse, this DVD she wanted but didn't want to buy cause it was like $37, and her fav gift, a magnet of Rob Pattinson shirtless.
And TBS vocalist Adam Lazzara turned 28 on Tuesday, so a belated Happy Bday to him.
My ankle is healing, and I sat out of Jazz this week to massage & flex it. I feel guilty about doing this, but I think it will help it a lot.
Oh, I saw The Informant! on Tuesday. There are maybe 5 more movies I wanna see this fall. And I went to the Art Museum today to see the Andy Warhol exhibit. Pretty cool. I ate lunch there as well - mac & cheese w/ goat cheese. Very good.
That's all for now. I'm going to a mall this weekend, but there ain't much I really want.

I decided to check out the VMA's last night, cause, well, I wanted to see if Russell was any better this year, and ugh, Robert Pattinson. So I have shames to give out.
Shame on myself for watching that crap. I complained at the end of the broadcast (thought did a lot of fastforwarding during the show. I felt I wasted my time. First off, no one I'm a huge fan of performed. And I had to question whether anyone lip-synched. Those performances were so large, and the voices sounded very album-like. Second, I am a fan of Russell Brand. I've seen his stand-up specials online and his shows from England. He's a fav of mine and he's funny. Yet, for some reason, on this, he's very annoying. (And I wonder how long he's had the art on his upper arm, is it even real?) Perhaps he's wasting his talent. Anyways, next year, I think they should get someone new. And finally, no one famous I liked was on. They kept saying "biggest stars in Hollywood," but in reality, it was the most popular people for the 16 and under crowd. No one I am a fan of was there.
Now, to the obvious shame, Shame on Knaye West for interrupting poor Taylor Swift. She's so young, and she was so excited about winning. That bastard had no right to take her moment from her. Cheers to Beyonce for letting Taylor give her speech, a very cla$sy move, but it wasn't the same. That overrated jerk took her big moment away from her. I think be should apologize to her. And then go away forever, or until he is a hasbeen. And finally, attempt a comeback that is so unsuccessful it is funny. He is so ungrateful. He is so 'I deserve this!' He should be grateful he has done well.
My final thing to say is not a shame. Though I think Madonna's lil tribute would have been more moving if she started crying like some of the audience was doing. I'm someone who is not a Michael Jackson fan. His death, while I felt bad for his family, was not a big deal for me. Having said that, I thought the tribute in general could have been more entertaining. Imo, they should have had various acts performing his music, instead of just dancing in front of a screen.
Now, will I learn my lesson and not watch next year? I hope I do. It ain't like the music I like is nominated. And weren't there more than 7 categoies? I also wanted 3oh!3 to win Best New Artist. I can't remember what else I was gonna say, but I have said enough already.

station/Update on my foot
My title was too long. Bummer.
I'm gonna work from the end to the beginning btw.
Well, my ankle and my foot both hurt. My foot seems to be worse. My mom is afraid I broke a bone. I'm still trying to be tough and walk on it. Hurts though. I did kinda sat out on performing the routine in Jazz today cause it involved a lot of jumping, and I couldn't land on my left foot. But I did the warm up and new moves me were taught. And while I didn't perform the routine, I did the rehearsal and took mental notes on it. I think I have the moves down. I hope my foot is better by Tuesday. Weekend would be better actually. Now, some of you might be thinking, "Hey Mel, why not go to a doctor and see what's wrong?" Well, lack of insurance and other hospital bills that have piled up prohibit me from seeing a doctor. In other words, I cannot afford it. I can't afford health insurance either. So any politicians or others saying we have the best health care in the world, bite me! I'm a poor college student w/o any and in desperate need of it.
Not on to Subject #2, the one about radio stations. I currently listen to Top 40 on Kiss FM. But I am getting so tired of Lil Wayne and Lady Gaga songs (though, I like LoveGame). And the other songs all sound the same to me. As someone into alternative music, they play very little. So I started listening to a rock station. I am slowly switching, but am getting a little annoyed with the commercials on the new station. I learned of 3 strip clubs I never knew existed in my city last night. Lots of advertising for guys in the commercials. I'm still making up my mind. The good news though, I don't think they play crap like Miley Cyrus. I just listened to Top 40 so I'd know what was popular. But I don't know if I care anymore.
Speaking on music, I am in love (not literally obviously, but really obsessed with it, with Flyleaf's new song Again. I kept playing Again again and again.
And on to the crazy person. After picking up lunch at a local sub place, this woman who hangs out on the East Side asking people for money stopped me and asked for money so she could eat. All I had was my debit card, and that's the only money I have, so it is for myself. That, and I'm not that nice. So as I walk away, she started saying stuff to me. But I kept on walking. Fastforward to the bus coming, she runs to catch it and steps right in front of me to get on before me, even though I was already standing there. I thought, "Whatever." Then she turns and gives me a weird, mean, dirty look. That made me uneasy. Besides, she is really rough and ugly looking, so it ain't the face you want in your face, ya know. She finally turned away. The bus then pulled up, but about 7 feet away from where we were standing. She didn't notice, but I walked to the bus. She runs in front of me, forcing her way past me, and gets on the bus. The driver actually gave her a "What the hell?!" confused look. (I also thought if she has money to get on the bus, why doesn't she have money for food?) My mom told me when I got home she had a run in with the woman too, and that she pry ain't playing with a full deck, so don't talk back to her for safety reasons. And I don't plan to.
Okay, that was longer than expected, but I am finished.

I left in perfect condition. When I got in the bus, I spotted a seat in the back and started making my way back there.. Well, the bus pulled away and some dude moved his foot towards te aisle. I was wearing 3 1/2 inch sandals, and stepped on what must be the guy's foot. Well, my foot, or ankle, both hurt, bent, and I swore out loud, but not too loud. F word, in case you're wondering.
And no one even asked if I was okay. Bastards!
Well, I massaged my foot on the way to school, and put my cold water bottle on it before dance. I told the teacher. But I still participated. She told me I could take it easy and sit out if I wanted. But damn little me has to be tough.
One, meaning myself, can only wonder if that was a smart idea. Now my ankle is very stiff and my foot hurts like hell. I have it iced though. I had plans for today as well, which now have been put on hold. God I hate this. I have to rest the rest of the day. I guess I can get a head start on my school work for tomorrow.
This is all such a bummer, man.

The woman I had a meeting with Thursday told me about the Playwriting program, and asked me what I am doing now. When I told her I am BFA intended, she asked what my interests as an actor were. I told her about some of my ideas, and she told me about the program. It's from like 8AM to 5PM, with rehearsals until perhaps midnight or later. And it is for the students that want to do more serious work. Now, my interests are very mized, which surprised her. Cause I told her I'm into acting, writing, dance, history, and the study of human sexuality. Apparently, what sets me apart, is that I have many varied interests. So, she told me that the BA program is better for me. It doesn't have just one focus, and gives me more time. Plus, the Playwriting program has mostly the same clas$es, so I could pry graduate for when they expect me to. In the next 3 years, not 5. She also told me with my interests, in comedy and the strange, she said after school I shoulc move to Chicago and maybe take cla$ses with Second City. She said other students of hers have done that. And what I like might be more popular there than here. She did ask why I haven't been performing, which I explained. And the question I hate, where do I see myself in 5 years. God, I hate that question. It's so hard to say, because if you aren't there when the time comes, you can be so upset with that.
But I remember how upset I was when I bombed the first BFA audition, and then earlier this year really starting questioning myself about it. I started thinking that maybe the fact that I kept missing it was God's way of telling me it wasn't right for me. And I'm beginning to think that.
And finally, before I wish everyone a Happy Labor Day tomorrow, I made the Dean's List for last semester. Now, you may be thinking (if you know me), "Yeah, but only had one academic cla$s, and then a handful of dance courses." I busted my butt in those courses. Now, it'll be hard to hopefully keep that up. I want to, because I was always on those lists in high school. But I have so much reading and writing this semester. Hopefully I can do it though.
Once again.
HAPPY LABOR DAY!

That horrid sneezing I had going on Sunday has stopped. I think it could be allergies. I still feel out of it though. Bummer. I hope I'm not in cla$ses all day tomorrow. But, with the swine flu scare going around, especially on college campuses, I may have to be careful tomorrow. Anyone sick is being encouraged to stay home. When I missed that meeting yesterday, I emailed the woman in the morning, and she told me to watch for fever, since the staff is worried about a swine flu outbreak on campus. I find all this kinda interesting. This fall, if you are sick, you are allowed to stay home until you get better, or so it seems.
I did drop a course, World Theatre. So now on Tuesday & Thursday, I only have 1 dance cla$s. But very busy Mondays and Wednesdays. I'll be at school for 12:30 to 4:30/4:45. I was examining one cla$s, Storytelling, last night, and one of the assignments is called Sing A Song. I really hope that doesn't mean what I think it means, performing in front of an audience. I sing along with some songs, but can't carry a tune. Costume History seems really fun though, right up my alley. Bad thing about that is I hafta bring the book with me every day I go there, and that book is really big. And my Bettie Page messenger bag is small. I can just fit that book, a notebook, my pencil case, and the book I'm reading (Vamp: The Rise & Fall of Theda Bara. A relatively small book, I'm thankful for that. It's skinny enough to fit. If I wanted to bring one of the other books I have purchases recently, and there are quite a few, I'd be screwed)
Oh, if anyone is wondering, I start school tomorrow. Why on a Wednesday I questioned at first, but now with my illness, I thank God for.

I woke up this morning sneezing. And I got warm too. I really don't want to be sick, especially now. I have a meeting tomorrow at school, and cla$sed start Wednesday.
I've been doing a lot of shopping recently. Some stuff I needed, some I just wanted. But I've been buying more than I should. Safe to say, I'm pretty much done now. But I deeply regret signing up for 18 credits at school. The most I've ever taken is 15, and I have a lot of writing and reading courses now. I want to drop World History, and move Jazz to the next spot so I don't hafta get up earlier. The problem is, I don't know if I got more grant & loan money due to the 18 credits, and if I did, I don't know how much I'd have to give back. Hopefully, I don't, but I'll find out tomorrow. That's when I'll decide if I drop, which I really want to do.
I just wanted to mention this. I thought it was so funny when Patrick Stump (of Fall Out Boy) got arrested. Lord, I just could not believe that mug shot. While he didn't look rough like some which was good, it wasn't exactly a great shot. (Fyi, to anyone who doesn't know, he was my main celeb crush from 2006 to 2008. Once 2008 hit, I could have cared less. Also the time I lost interest in FOB. Now it's Ben Barnes, who I've liked since early 200
Anyways, I never expected him to get arrested. It was due to the fact he still had his Illinois driving liscense, not a California one. I find that weird too, since he once said he never would leave Chi-town for L.A. cause he loved his hometown too much, than decided to. Huh.Well, there is so much more I could mention, but plan to hopefully blog before my semester starts.
Bye for now.
