  • just want to nudge off that oddly formatted entry.  ::ahhh::

  • yay! my very own xanga skin; finally... now i can sleep.

January 4, 2004

  • temporary sand-esque colors as i work on a xanga skin--or rather, as i edit a blog skin to my likings ;) as i have no real css knowledge--to match my maybe/maybe-temporary banner.  i've been meaning to do this since last summer... then i moved in, started working and then school and stuff.  let's see if i can actually get this done. i have this whole 3-column layout planned ^_^.

  • i guess i'm not so bah humbug


    merry seasons!


    eat, drink, and be full

December 23, 2003

  • lacking that good ol' christmas cheer.


    i think this is the most moody i've ever been during the "holiday season."  i guess part of it is dealing with mama being gone.  i'm also stressing about my grades this semester because i don't even know if one of my teacher's got my final paper (which i sent via email.  i emailed & called the dept but i haven't heard anything).  i'm also worried about my honors paper and my writing on arts/artist project.  things have been stressful at home, too.  my mom has been having a hard time.  christmas shopping has been tiring and stressful because of the crowds and the aching and the staying up to wrap presents.  i'm just happy to report that i didn't have to jury duty today nor do i have to go tomorrow.  i still have to check "for further instructions" tomorrow evening, but they aren't gonna call people in on christmas day are they?  so that still leaves friday the day after christmas.  just keep your fingers crossed for me.  darn jury worker guy--well not yet; hopefully later i'll say YAY JURY DUTY GUY!  when i had to show up two days before i started school and got the postponement, he said that the latest i could postpone it was the end of december and he said to just put dec 22 because they probably wouldn't summon me.  i was really annoyed that i got that summons two weeks before finals were over.  i'm just happy that i don't have to sleep all my lonesome in SF tonight.  just one more day... one more day!  

December 22, 2003

  • so i don't have to go to jury duty today.  i'd be jumping up and down saying, 'yippee,' but i'm still on standby for the rest of the week.  i'll find out after 5pm whether or not i need to show on tuesday.  one day at a time... hopefully no jury duty this winter break.

December 21, 2003

  • something that i've decided:


    every person needs to feel at least once that s/he was the one that got away, not the one who did the losing.
