I wish I had a roommate.

"Ya' know what though, I don't mind. I mean if my muscles ache, it's because I've used 'em. It's hard for me to walk up them steps now, its 'cuz I walked up 'em every night to lay next to a man who loved me. I got a few wrinkles here and there, but I've layed under thousands of skies with sunny days. I look and feel this way, well cuz I drank and I smoked. I lived and I loved, danced, sang, sweat and screwed my way through a pretty damn good life if you ask me. Getting old ain't bad... Getting old, that's earned."

Believe it or not, I subscribe to the PETA mailing list. This morning, I got an email (okay, more like three of them) of this new case they have against PetSmart, the place where at least 25% of my income goes because I need to buy clothes for my dog. Apparently, they weren't taking care of the animals they sell and at several stores, they had a bunch in the back that were dying. There are photos of some of the animals on this website and it's absolutely disgusting. I'm seriously horrified.

I woke up this morning to the following voicemail:

"Heather! Hey, it's Ed! [So obviously a drunk greeting.] Listen, I know it's almost 2 a.m., but I just had to tell you something. I had an epiphany about you and me tonight. I'll tell you about it tomorrow at work.. or maybe the next day. Well, hope you had a good day. Night."

What in the sam hell?

I can't wait to go to work tonight and see what this "epiphany" was. (End sarcasm.)

Today was actually a really fun day. Megan came home from school early around 9:30, so we decided to go to the mall and shop for a Christmas present for her boyfriend, Luke. We stopped for lunch and made a pitstop in center city to go to Rockstation and Le Chocolat. I got some sugar plums in there and they're going to be the death of me.

AND.. I made more cookies! I'm turning into Martha Stewart.

Actually, it's just because I feel like I haven't done anything very Christmas-y this whole holiday season, so now I'm trying to make up for it within the next four days.

I got a text from Tish around 7 this morning. Their Mom passed away last night.

Now what do I do?

( Back in April. )

( Two hours ago. )

He's getting so massive.

Are we back in 8th grade?

Okay, here's the deal with the beach:

I found an awesome house that's oceanside with a hot tub and a pool. If 10 people go, it's $75 per person for the house and we would have to leave on Friday, the last day of finals. If you go to Southern Shores Realty, it's property #004 and it's called "Sea Fever."

If you're interested, let me know, I want to book it as soon as I can. :)

This is more for me than anyone else, unless you wanna take care of one of these, lol.

Would you:

( ) Go out with me?

( ) Take me home for the night?
( ) Let me sleep in your bed?
( ) Sing car karaoke with me?
( ) Sit in the doctor's office with me because I didn't want to go alone?
( ) Pick me up at 3:00AM because my car ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere?
( ) Sing me to sleep?
( ) Watch Star Trek with me when I couldn't sleep?
( ) Tell me when I need to stop talking?
( ) Give me a hug even when I say I don't need one?
( ) Repost this for me to answer your questions?

It is SO nice to be home early. I got a shower early and I got to watch Wheel of Fortune AND I got to eat dinner with my FAMILY. Woo!

KATE! I totally made you something tonight & I'm gonna send it out tomorrow or Thursday. You'll DIE. :D I showed it to Caleigh & this was her response:

cmee3552 (7:15:04 PM): Oh my god.
cmee3552 (7:15:06 PM): I'm crying.
cmee3552 (7:15:18 PM): This is hilarious, and it's going on the wall in my bedroom.
cmee3552 (7:15:29 PM): I can't even describe how hilarious that is.

It RULES. :D

Okay, I have to be a nerd for a second. We finished watching A Beautiful Mind in class today and my face seriously hurt from trying not to cry. I loved the movie and I particularly loved this one quote..

"Imagine if you suddenly learned that the people, the places, the moments most important to you were not gone, not dead, but worse, had never been. What kind of hell would that be?"

The past 2 days have ruled because:

1. I got an A- on my Law & Ethics exam.
2. Found out that I'm definitely going to New Orleans.
3. Laughed at absolutely everything yesterday.
4. Got out of my seminar early.
5. Found out that while in New Orleans, we're going to some gala at Mardi Gras World on Friday night. Does this mean I might get to wear the new black dress?! :D

I have to study for a Film quiz and finish up my Spanish homework. Atlantic City update tonight.

12 hours and we're off! :)

I'll update Sunday night when we get back.

EVERYTHING today is making me laugh. I'm going straight to hell.

This kid sitting next to me keeps going, "Ughm. Guhh. Gah. Ugh." I'm like dude, do you need me to heimlich you or something?

I also walked out of my 8 a.m. today. Goooooo me. :)

Ew.
