My life as I know it

The 2005-2006 College Football Bowl Contest (Pat vs. Emily) has begun. Although we aren't gambling for money, there is something equally as valuable on the line - my pride. Going into this bet, I was aware of my lack of knowledge on any college football team other than Ohio State and BG but yet I still accepted the challenge. Was Pat asking me to participate in this contest to take advantage of my lack of expertise? This isn't the first time I've been asked by a male to get involved in some sort of gambling on college sports (i.e. March madness). I got to thinking about it and I'm wondering if this is some sort of ploy guys use to try and get girls involved in sports. Talk about killing 2 birds with 1 stone (disclaimer - I would never intentionally kill a bird at all, especially with a stone). If a guy gets his girl of interest involved in the sports he would like to be watching, he can hang out with her and watch the games at the same time. Every guys dream huh? I wou...

My Grandma had her surgery today and everything went well. They were able to remove the lump and as far as we know, the cancer hadn't spread. We'll know more when the pathology report comes back from the lump, but so far so good! Hopefully we'll get good news this week about Mark too who is getting scanned this week to find out if it's cancer in his lympth node or if it was just swollen from his infection. Keep your fingers crossed!

Let me take a moment to introduce you to someone I'm sure you don't know. Meet Zonka. Zonka is a single red male beta fish who currently lives on Troup St. in Bowling Green, Ohio. This picture of Zonka is somewhat misleading. First of all, I got this picture off of the internet so it's not even really Zonka. Second, although Zonka did look like this fish at one time, this is no longer the case. You see, Zonka was purchased for one reason... to be put in a small fish tank with another male Beta Fish, Roger. In case you aren't aware of the social behavior of male beta fish, let me explain. This was taken from a beta fish website: "When two or more Siamese fighting (AKA beta) fish are together, they need to attack each other until one of them is dead. The male fish is the only one who will kill. Therefore, they should be separated from each other in aquariums." Interesting, huh? This was taken from another beta fish website: "No one should ever buy multipl...

So sick of this semester and ready for it to be over. After writing my eight page poem, I just spent a few hours filling out my review sheet for Friday's exam and I barely got through 1/3 of it. Nothing like a 3 page, 10 pt. font, single-spaced final exam review sheet. Hope everyone's finals are going well. If you're done, I envy you and hate you at the same time. Bored?

Okay, I kid you not... this is the picture that came up when I typed in avoidance. I am going to desperate measures at this point to avoid doing homework. So desperate that I'm going to fill out another one of those damn survey things. Then I promise to return to the homework. Here goes: LAST book you read:: It's been a while since I've actually finished a book, but I'm currently reading "It's Called A Breakup Because It's Broken." It's by the same author who wrote "He's Just Not That Into You" and his wife. Good book, I highly recommend. song you listened to:: Apple Candy - Ben Lee cd you bought:: Coldplay X&Y friend you saw:: Kari just went to bed person you talked to on the phone:: My Mom! :) wish:: I'll never tell person you thought about:: Probably my mom website you went to:: Facebook movie you watched at home:: A Lot Like Love, I think? movie you saw at the theatre:: "yours, Mine, and Ours" song you sang:: I t...

I couldn't make fun of the fact that my roommates were playing games on the internet on a Friday night without admitting that Kari and I just got done playing about 10 games of battleship. P.S. I didn't win....

Did you know that the word hogwash is in the dictionary? Well it is. It is one of the very few words in the dictionary with a definition that consists of only one word and that one word is: nonsense. Nonsense is what best describes my feelings right now as I sit and listen to my roommates all playing games on the internet that they're addicted to. Kari is playing "Gold Miner" and making up her own words to the tune of Kanye West's song Golddigger. The lyrics go something like this "I ain't sayin she a gold miner, but she's pretty damn good. She can kick your ass at this game.." You get the idea. Lisa and Emily are both addicted to a game called "Swashbucks." Unlike Kari's game, you can actually win money with this game... although I'm not convinced anyone actually does. So what is the big deal about everyone playing these games right now? I will tell you. Did I mention it is 11:45 on a Friday night? Well it is. That's hogwash.

After absolutely nothing was going right with my group project tonight, I then found out that my Grandma has breast cancer. What's next? Better yet... who's next?
