Why I hate illegal aliens....

So I decided to take a day off from life today, meaning I didn't go to class. Probably not the best idea, but necessary every once in awhile. So after I slept in and watched a couple of episode of Lost (yes i have started watching that, and no, I don't want to talk about it) I decided that my house is kind of disgusting. It needed some major attention. So I rolled up my pajama pants and busted out the cleaning supplies. And the only room that got cleaned was the bathroom. But that is a dang clean bathroom. But you might be wondering what this has to do with illegal aliens. I am getting there. In the middle of my cleaning spree I got a phone call from my mom asking me for my social security number. Long story short there is an illegal alien in California that is trying to use my social security number to get a drivers license. WHAT THE HELL. Go back to Mexico and leave me alone! Let's just say I was ticked. So now I have to call this guy that is investigating the situation and answer questions proving that I don't know this "Miguel" character. fantastic. So that folks, is why I am not a fan of illegal aliens. Okay, maybe that's not the only reason, but that is a discussion for another day.

i'm LOST

yes, its true. i've gone and gotten myself addicted to LOST. i have effectively doomed myself to spending any and all free time i have to laying around in my bed, catching up on all the old seasons. i started watching season 1 last week and am about four episodes away from finishing it. holy crap.

its a good show. i really like all of the characters. but some of the episodes really creep me out for some reason. supernatural stuff scares the living daylights out of me. especially supernatural stuff on an island that you can't get away from. um, hello, creepy!? i think so. i can't bring myself to stop watching it though. i am addicted after all.

also, i am in love with matthew fox's character. jack shepherd. mmmmm. :]

and evangeline lilly is GORGEOUS.

and its nice to see dominic monaghan as something other than a hobbit.

Stress

This week very well may be the death of me. I am so stressed out and I have so much to do. Not good. It took me about 2 hours to get to sleep last night and then once I got to sleep I had stressful dreams. I dreamed that I was at home in Az and I was packing to come back to Utah. But no matter what I did I could not pack in time to make it to the airport for my flight. I was running around my house trying to gather all my stuff and I couldn't beat the clock. I was so anxious and that did not help me sleep at all. So basically I am really tired and have a ton of crap to do today. Oh joy. Also I hate secrets. This is a lie. But they can also be stressful. Especially when you want to be able to tell people or talk to people about it but you can't just yet. Timing is everything. But in the meantime I have to constantly watch what I say around people and it gets hard. Particularly when some people know and others don't. So you have to remember who knows and who doesn't. Yeah, frustrating.
In happy news I got to hang out with some friends from high school last night and it was amazing! Jenna had her birthday party last night and it was so good. I got to see Willi and Kylie and Jenna and I have not seen them in a ling time. It was nice to reminisce about our high school adventures. We also came up with two words to describe each of us and I think that was my favorite part of the evening. We decided that Jaimie is a ridiculous punk and the words chosen for me were compassionately feisty... yeah I'll take it! Anyway, life is good regardless of how stressed I am. I have some decisions to make here pretty soon and I don't want to.

for your entertainment...

marci is not only a match maker and everyone's go-to girl for relationship advice, but she is also an exterminator. ladies and gents, i present to you, MARCI THE WASP SLAYER

there was a wasp--or something that looked mysteriously like one--in our bedroom. so marci rolled up her sleeves, grabbed a wall street journal (yes, we have those lying around our apartment--feel free to be impressed), and [eventually] killed the thing. i was on camera and clean-up duty.

um, really?

ok, seeing a dog on a leash is typical. seeing a kid on a leash isn't quite unheard of, but it still makes you question either what kind of demon wild child has to be held back by a leash or what kinds of parenting skills their parents have. but seeing a CAT ON A LEASH!?

A CAT!!?!?
SERIOUSLY!?!

i kid you not. i was walking past the duck pond south of campus today and there were a few couples here and there (since, of course, a duck pond is such a hot spot for couples to go and have a romantic moment...i am proud to say that i have not had any romantic moments at the duck pond). one couple was feeding the ducks, another was just walking around, and another couple was walking their dog.

or so i thought.

the more i watched the little light brown dog, the more i realized how un-dog-like it seemed. it just kind of sat there, on a leash, in between some of these trees. and the fact that it kept staring up one of the trees really confused me. i mean, dogs don't look up trees. they pee on trees.

then the 'dog' decided that it wanted to try and climb the tree. that was when i realized that this was no dog. it was a freaking CAT. on a LEASH. this couple was taking their cat for a walk!

seriously people? SERIOUSLY? its a stinking cat. putting a cat on a leash is like eating sunscreen. you just don't do it!

Love

I found this gem on a friends blog. And I am a big fan.
