Augh!! I'm hyper and I'm short of time, and I WANNA GO HOME!!!
Okay, aside from bad grammar, I'll type a proper blog tomorrow. I didn't fall off the edge of the world...yet.
Laters!

Ah, the weekend is here, Friday is turning dark soon, I have to go to the observatory in about an hour or two, and I'm browsing the internet. I think I shall now type my blog....
I had Mrs. Foutch's Political Science test today. Chuck Cody told me to tell her that he's still in 'La La Land', wherever that is. I still have to find out on the map the location of the mysterious La La Land...
Gotta go to the observatory tonight. I'm also going with Jason, Leslie, and Fudd to church tomorrow. When I get back, I shall play Mechassault 2 to my heart's content!! XD Then I shall work on the new installment on the Space Raptors story.
I have actually have to finish one...basically, we had an evil crystal life-form on board, and we SDD'd (Self-destruct device) it, and now are 'marooned'. It was an climatic installment, with a lot of people leaving, and only a few remaining. I also changed that supposed cousin Britney is a clone(but still related), and that Larina, ambassador's daughter from Ellenis, joins us occasionally & made her after Meer. Made a sweet outfit for MTech, which he approves of, and will continue writing maybe even as early as tonight...I left off romping around in the swamp with him and alien girl Jennifer in a tank with null sig...I think Jason was in orbit, and UV & Andrew were commencing a bombing run somewhere.
Have art trades! I'm drawing some stuff for people! In return, they'll draw stuff for me! I have one done and have three more to be done! I know one person is working on it at least.
On a serious note, I killed a possum yesterday. I wasn't happy about it, and was even more upset when I found out I had five rounds instead of ten. That was the first time I killed something...I don't think I'm so eager to go shoot something anymore on first thought, I'll have to think about it. Sarah boo-hooed her eyes out. I don't mind people having tender spots, the stupid girl cries all day because she hits a bug or bird while driving. I like compassionate girls, but I would at least like them to have some bravery or stomach. Not wimps.
My crab is offical MIA. I am going to conduct a house-wide search upon arrival at Bayer Starbase tonight. I have learned that the exoskeleton would be intact if its dead, and should'nt be hard to find. The thing's the size of atarantula, and missing four legs...how far can that thing go!?!
Enough said. I'm going to finish drawing the IGA Brittanica.

5:15pm
Okay, so I can't type every single day. Make that every single weekday, and when I get internet at the house, then on a weekend.
Cleaned out small betta fish tank yesterday. Also have to fill up evaporation loss in large fish tank. Not a lot aquarium wise, crab still missing.
Got some more work done in the physics labs today. Its finally shaping up. Maybe I'll get the camera on Wednesday and take pictures. If it had a bed & a shower, with a cool computer, wouldn't make a bad place to live.
I'm missing a Jabra JTB135 headset for the wireless phone since Friday. I think I may have lost it while either getting change or transferring stuff from one pants to another, but I'm not sure. I have a faint feeling that it may be in hope, and am praying that it is not outside the house. That thing cost 60 bucks, and I've only had it for two weeks.
Got somewhat lonely for a girl again today, and could use a hug or two. Dangit, anybody who's a girl and sees me often, hug me! I don't have girlfriends, or friends that are girls. It makes a difference and means something!
Also I could use calls! Nobody calls me either, not even Mom or Dad unless I'm somewhere at home and they can't find me.
Had a math test today in Precalculus Triginometry. I think I did okay in it, I'll find out soon enough. I shall also go home now.
I think I shall post blogs whenever available. I may have said earlier, but it helps when you really can't write anyone.
Signing off for now,
Janeil H.

Well, its about time! I didn't get to type a blog on Wednesday, so I have a bunch of stuff to catch up on.
Dr. Morgan was out again yesterday, so I didn't work. I am trying to get my self-start business Orion Computer Services going, and hope to get some customers soon. I need advertising...
I upload a load of stuff this morning. I would go to the building, but the way the temperature is in the room, the air coming through the window, I think I'll spend some time up here. Its nice. I feel good for today.
School is doing fine so far. We started on our pig in Biology II lab. Its a girl, and I have called her "Lacus Gobbles". Okay, so maybe I was thinking of MrGobbles from my Halo multiplayers, and Gundam Seed at the same time. But my group didn't object. Lauren & I seem to make a pretty good team dissecting-wise. I hope all goes well next Wednesday. I actually saw a blue vein. A blue vein! They're literally blue! Not purplish blue, blue! It was amazing!
I learned something very interesting in Accounting class this morning. Mr. Love takes place in investigations in business and is hired to look into dealings in other business. Finally a maverick cleaning up scum around here. Too bad I could backseat with him and help him out. Glad to have him as my teacher, and after a few stories he told us, especially about the lady who was sending in false tax returns and sticking the extra money in the bottom of a freezer, made me want to give him a badge.
Dad is been itchy lately. He's been commenting on any video game I play, and is not been very nice lately when he comes home. I don't know what's up. Aren't parents supposed to be nice? What's bugging him? Why take it out on me?
I'm getting the itching for a waterfight soon! It just hit me this morning that winter is almost over! I will go home early today and do inventory on my waterguns, and will take pictures. For all of you, I love to have watergun fights, even if I'm big now. I have 30 soakers and buy about 3-5 soakers a year, and will continue to do my watergun fighting hobby. Andrew joins in, and we have a joint partnership in buying the soakers, maintaining them, and keeping them. Unfortunately, I haven't had anyone good to fight with over the past two years, and maybe can have a good year this time.
Uvraj is taking the TAG program at Walters State. I'm glad my cousin and his brother Medhavin are very smart. They're good kids, and despite being young, make extremely versatile buddies that outmatch people I know at school. That may change over time if my friendships develops, but they're always there. That's cool. They play videogames with me, they play computer games with me, we draw, we make up jokes, we go out on adventures, we visit each other on a frequent basis, and we write the Space Raptors stories.
Mom is probably wondering where I am now and what I'm doing. But I have a phone, and she doesn't call me! Nobody calls me...my phone did not ring one single time at all yesterday. That's sad. Then they argue with me when I go that I don't tell them anything...hello, I'm right next door down the street. If you want to know anything, and have doubts, call me, for crying out loud!
Stomach's growling some. I could use some food. I don't think there's much for me to eat at the building when I get there. I would like some ramen noodles, or gurumba with roti.
Mrs. Foutch did not read my pretended spending budget for my simulated fake country in Political Science class, the Kurita Confederation. She said she'll get to it on Friday, and I'm really really wanting to hear what she says about it. Wendy Stiner is somewhat of a nutcase, saying that nobody gets her number, and that people will stalk her, and that she has to get to work! I've had second thoughts about appointing her Secretary of Defense for Kurita. I should have picked the soldier guy in front of me...
What else is on my mind to type? Dad dumped a bunch of fish flakes in the betta tank on Monday, I have to clean that up, especially that there is no filtration system in it. I still have to find out information why the betta fought with its mate; I'm trying to breed them. I'll try to convert downstairs for the Green Earth conservation program for trying to breed fish and plants in a controlled environment.
Still missing my earpiece. I believe it may be gone for good, but I hope it may turn up sometime. In addition to that, my Corridor 7 CD is missing, my new Super Soaker MAX-D 2000, my custom CD with Sigma Star Saga, Eurodance, and rave music, my crab, and of all things, my old 256MB SanDisk drive.
Sara finally called just now to know where I am. I took them from 11:30 to 1:36 to wonder what happened to call me, and it was Sara, not Mom. She is like. "Mom wanted me to call you. I'm making sure you didn't lose you way coming here, or you couldn't find your way." I swear, can't that girl figure out I'm someplace doing something, and I didn't get lost? She doesn't even remember what day something recently happened. If you asked her what day did we go out to Knoxville, she will say "I don't keep track of anything. I sleep on Suday, help Mom place the order for UNFI on Monday, post on a forum on Tuesday, help pack UNFI order on Wednesday, submit Writer's Challenge on Thursday, and close store on Friday. I don't keep track of anything else. It make sense to me."
The stupid girl has her alarm clock that goes off at 6:00 to 6:59, and she sleeps through the entire thing, it blaring in her ear. She does not hear me pounding on her door to turn it off, and sets her clock thirty minutes ahead and is always late for everything.
When we're supposed to leave at 9:00 to go to the building, she makes me get out of the shower at 7:30, then goes in at her merry old time at 7:50, then stays in her room, then gets out at 8:44 in her bathrobe sitting at the kitchen table reading a book. She makes us late a lot.
The other day Sara mad a giant tantrum when she improperly loaded the dishwasher. She clumped several bowls together, bowls that I had previously left in the dishwasher because they didn't wash properly. She had loaded them the same way previously, hence their dirty state still. I told her, "Don't do that, they won't wash properly." Stupid butterbeepoopoo rolls her eyes to the sky, sighs, and locks herself in the room for about two hours blasting music from the "Bratz" album. I swear her otolith crystals in her ear are damaged by now.
About two weeks ago, a red Pontiac Trans Am pulled into our parking lot after hours. Sara comes and tells me that Jason is in the parking lot. Looking outside and telling her that isn't Jason, I ask her if that looks like Jason's car. "No, its red and its parked here, so I think its Jason's car." Numbskull doesn't even know Jason drives a Nissan!! All she knows is car color! I could put a burgundy Infiniti of my car's year, and she won't be able to tell the difference. She's is so absent-minded, stupid, and naive.
If someone wants to perform major brain surgery on my sister, I could care less, go ahead. She is obviously missing extremely important skills that is important to everyday life, and refuses to acknowlege them, living in her own little world. I'm tired of dealing with her.
When I posted the 2006 Soakfest pictures a few months ago here on Facebook, she made this entire case that I'm exploting her on the internet and that she's been exposed and revealed, simply because she's standing in the lineup with the rest of the team when the picture was taken. She's also paranoid. Dad told me not to post her picture, and nobody else. However, Andrew let's me post him, and I do post mom. I hate it when I can't post cool stuff that happens because my family is in it. I would love a nicer sister who's normal, and maybe a more understanding Dad. 2nd thought, a great family that is nice and open would be nice.
I'm done ranting about my stupid sister. I guess its a thing girls go through high-school age, but other girls I know aren't like that. Sara enjoys and takes glee in being rude to people. She brags about it to the rest of us. A few girls her age that I have talked to at least have the decency to be polite. I hear so many awesome things about other peoples' sisters, and I wonder
why nothing like that ever happened over here. Jealous of other people? Maybe a little, but mostly just pure thinking and questions, maybe some regret in between.
The oil level on the USS Orion seemed to stabilize now after the oil change. I think she'll be good to go for awhile, but I have a feeling rear brakes need replacement. The back of the car makes clicking noises whenever I press the brakes. Too bad nobody every manufactured a turbocharger or a turbo kit for my model of car.
On a happy note, I think I've made a few new friends on Wednesday. Valerie Roach from my Biology 2 and Political Science class, and Samantha from my Triginometry class. There is also this guy called Johnatan from my Biology 2 class who seems to really enjoy the Biology lessons.
Okay, so this is a really really long blog. Sorry this is so so long, but its been piling up. I think I'm on par with life's events for the moment.
Friday, Feb 23
1:43pm
Well, very quickie since this is Friday, so far so good. I will be shortly enroute back to Greeneville. Andrew wants to go to K-Mart, and is considering picking up a Blazer for himself. I talked to Natasha, a fellow Guayanese girl I met in New York last night for the first time since last August, and was happy about that.
Otherwise, I'm outta here. I think I left my gloves in Mrs. Foutch's classroom, I better go fetch them. I might type better blog once mind is at ease.
Monday, Feb 26
3:29pm
Okay, so not a lot happened over the weekend. I have officially declared by crab as dead an time will tell whenever I will find his exoskeleton. Changed all but one of my fish tanks' water last night, and rerooted my live plants.
Dr. Morgan wasn't there when I went for work-study today, so looks like I go home early. Still need to figure out advertisement issues for my business...
Other than that, I think I'm starting to like digital art. I did a few ships today, and will probably do more over spring break. Certainly beats trying to role-play Starfury when I'm not bored. Well, just need to install Corel.
I might do some more on the current Space Raptors story right now. I think I'm more productive at college than home because of the convenience of an advanced computer. I am hungry and thirsty, but other than that, I don't mind it here. Plus, waiting for the "no-fly time" to end after the school zone hours are over for safety precautions is another way to be productive.
Let's see, now where was I? I didn't start?...Oh yes, Medhavin assuring everyone that we'll be fine. "Relax, I'm tuning his ride." A covert sneakabout on a deserted planet, Jennifer discovering a portal of some sort, find people from another time period that aren't supposed to be there...what else? Oh, did I mention the Vethos base beneath the surface? This is coming together all so nicely...
I can't wait for Spring Break! Its just around the corner...
Running...low...on...energy supplies...must eat...

Well, it has been sort of a little hectic with getting ready for Spring Break and all, but I'm getting on top of things for the moment. For once, trig made sense. I am hungry again. I had a Biology 2 test today, and will finish dissecting Lacus Gobbles in about 15 minutes.
There's this really wacky kid in my Political Science class called Wendy Stiner. I have absolutely no idea why I put up with her; she makes so much noise during class, and mentions endlessly that "I have to go to work!". Her latest declaration is that she's dropping, but she STILL shows up to class! If you're dropping a class, and you're still in it, and you have an F so far, what's the point in attending further? Maybe it isn't my business, but really. Why can't someone normal sit next to me at a class? Jeffrey Lane's sensible. Sean Long skips class occasionally, but he's sensible. Valerie Roach may not get Biology in a snap like I do, but she's sensible. Wendy isn't. Bitty Ditty Wendy Stiner is the perfect example of the not-so-nice people that come out of Jefferson County, obsessed about doing work and nothing else. Now that I think of it, her breath stinks, too. I hope she's gone soon.
Last night when I was coming home, I was talking to Jason on the cell phone. In the middle of our conversation, I encountered a giant "thing" across the road the resembled a golden-haired animal. It stretched almost across the road, and was of humongous proportions. I slammed on the brakes, but upon coming closer I discovered it was hay. Relieved was an understatement. I was starting to wonder what it was, but that was quickly put aside, realizing the biggest thing out here is a cow. Africa it may have been a different story...
I'm uploading mostly general picutres, no more photos of my life at the moment. As soon as Andrew clears the memory card, though, I'll be right back at it again. I work today, so it may be until tomorrow.
Speaking of which, I'll be going to Johnson City tomorrow. I'm visiting Raj, Jason & Kabir up at ETSU and seeing what their college life is like .I'm sure the trip will be extremely enriching.
Updated blog schedule is little blogs on Tuesdays & Thursdays, big blogs on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. And if all goes well, blogs might start coming on Saturdays & Sundays.
Right now, I think I'll finish uploading this batch of pictures I have, then hot-tail it to eat something. Later,
Janeil H.
P.S: I'll get a picture to post with my blog.

What an exhilarating day! I am visiting Raj, Kabir, & Jason at ETSU today. We did a lot of fun stuff, I am enjoying my time better with Raj & Kabir, however. They play Guyanese music in their dorm & apartment, watch Talespin, take me on long walks on campus, and let me meet cool people that are very very friendly and give me hugs immediately! I enjoy ETSU so much! Its an awesome place! I had culture shock for the first two hours, but I am now adapting. This is the first time I've met so much people in a large learning environment. Walters State is so...quiet. The last time I saw so much diverse people, it was at Washington DC Reagan International Airport.
Right now, I'm at Raj's dorm hanging out with him. We're waiting for Kabir to finish at the basketball game, because my car is at his house. Then I shall go home. If I didn't have class, I would spend the night.
I will elate my experiences later. This has been a very enriching day, and I am glad that I took the time to spend it with my cousins and come here.
Friday, Mar 2
1:39pm
Okay, so this is a really really big blog. Let’s take it down from the top where I left off, Wednesday Biology 2 lab.
In Biology 2 lab, we did some major dissection on Lacus Gobbles, our pig. I had some interesting thoughts about the veins as I saw several of them, wondering about their consistency, etc.
When it came to the heart, it was covered by the endocardium. I told Whitney to be careful, but she didn’t listen and ignored me, promptly snipping a large gouge into it. There was fluid inside to lubricate the heart from rubbing against the body cavity & other organs, and that sprayed out. Whitney gave me a dirty look, even though I warned here. It was like it was my fault.
The heart was stiff, a big surprise to me. I was expecting something soft and squishy, not something as firm as a brain. It was about the size of a stick of gum or less. The intestines were soft as expected, and the stomach was like an empty balloon. I was disturbed when we had to snip its tongue out; memories of Romans slashing out prisoners tongues out so they couldn’t coordinate an escape came to mind as Lauren cut the tongue out.
I was extremely upset when I learned that dye was pumped through the veins and arteries of the pig. I really thought they were blue! Now what color are the stupid tubes supposed to be? I have no earthly idea…
After my lab, I went to go do my work study for Dr. Morgan. I started to do my regular work, making sure everything was in order. I had specific permission from Dr. Morgan to “play with anything I wanted to, as long as I didn’t break anything,” so if I found something unusual, I would check it out.
While cleaning up, I found two Geiger counters, a digital one with a light, and an analog with a gauge. Dr. Morgan had still left the radioactive samples in a box in closet 3, so I fetched the counters over to see exactly how dangerous this stuff was. They went off all right, but hardly clicked. However, there was one that clicked fast and loud, and showed .3 on the gauge. It was two samples of unknown material that had “Nucleus” written on two spool-like objects. I stuck it back in the box and left. I have to find out what that means.
I also got Dr. Morgan to get a repair man to fix the computer in the Physics Lab. Hopefully that means I can use it when I’m in there if I need to type something or the other, or need to do research. The guy was supposed to visit on Thursday, so when I get back on Monday, I’ll find out what the verdict is.
While we were waiting on a phone call from the Computer HelpDesk, we decided to go up to the observatory and exactly find out what was going on up there. We recalibrated the telescope, adjusted the time, and examined everything to see that it was in order. Dr. Morgan determined that we need a trash can, a light, and to get the computer working up there, also.
After that was done, I once more found myself in the physics labs putting up loose odds & ends. Dr. Morgan came up and asked me if I wanted any books of two bookshelves. They had belonged to Dr. Boyd & Dr. Ford, and were no longer needed by him, because he was using newer books. I happily obliged, and helped myself to anything I wanted. I particularly found some interesting things that astounded me; the legendary American Journal of Physics, this was the first time in my life I have seen this. I also go a bunch of Astronomy magazines.
For books, they were mostly physics & astronomy books. Statistics was another one, and specialty research journals. I should have gotten a calculus book; I’ll ask Dr. Morgan on Monday if I can get one.
We had a cart in the physics lab that I loaded my newly acquired collection onto. Dr. Morgan helped me carry it outside and load up my car. He’s a great guy, soft and very theoretical. Not bad for someone who worked with NASA.
After that, I went home. I had a late bedtime.
Now for Thursday.
After coming out of Accounting class, I got into the USS Orion. To my dismay, there was an inside leak in the car, and water was spattered all over my CD’s. I am still trying to sort that out. But anyways, I left to go to Johnson City.
After parking at Taco Bell, I rendevouz with Kabir, and followed him back to his place. After parking my car, I got a tour of the house, then we promptly went into his 2002 Subaru Outback to go to Sahib’s.
Arriving at the restaurant, I piled up Mushroom palay & rice. Kabir’s friend Joe came over with his girlfriend Allison. Jason then finally came, announcing that Fudd wanted “Hooters”. We ate, then left the scene once more.
I went with Kabir to ETSU. He had a practice speech to give to his chemistry professor about autocatalysis. His professor & his wife would critique him on what to change and how he did. His wife was nice; she didn’t know my name, and referred to me as “cousin”. She also gave me pineapple cookies.
In the middle, a Vietnamese girl called Cho decided to sit in as well and hear what my great smart cousin had to say about chirals.
After he was critiqued, Kabir left me with Raj and went to go fix whatever errors he had in his presentation. We started to walk back to his dorm when I paused in front of the library, amazed. I had never seen such a big library ever, much less one on campus in that style. Raj then decided to give me a tour of the library.
First off, the giant marble steps that led up to it were worth over a million dollars, because they were marble. Once inside, I was treated to a great big spiral staircase, and an endless expanse of books that went on as far as the eye could see.
Raj showed me how to look up books, and I looked up a few. I found two that I liked; one on giant clams, and the other on deep-sea life. We both went to go look for them and after checking them out, proceeded to Jason’s dorm.
While en-route, we passed a girl who waved at us. I returned the wave, which shocked Raj big time. He finally got over it after I told him I wave back to anybody who waves to me.
Upon arrival at Jason’s dorm, Fudd opened the door. We caught him off guard with the camera, and entered. It was somewhat messy, and smelled of body odor. Anyhows, things got out of hand when they challenged Fudd to do 60 pushups. He took off his shirt and started. At push-up #16, he got up and claimed Jason scared him. I had the whole thing on camera, I didn’t see Jason scare him. Because of this supposition, Brandon sandwiched Jason between Raj. That was wild. I dove for cover and waited for the entire thing to be over.
Just about then, Kabir came over and immediately restored order. He had gotten plans to go to the basketball game, and was going. Raj couldn’t go, and they couldn’t find a ticket for me. While they contemplated what to do, I played with Jason on the PS2 for awhile. I got to drive the minivan, and the famous AE86 Toyota Corolla.
Raj decided to hang out with me until Kabir finished his game, and to ‘babysit’ me. He took me to the Culp building for main meal. I made myself at home in the cafeteria and started to eat pizza & soda. Raj ate a bunch of pasta.
First group of people to hit the table were Matt, Eric, & Sarah. Sarah took an instant liking to me, Eric seemed somewhat scatterbrained, and Matt was very reserved. I got hugged & poked, and enjoyed it very much. I never had people that really did that before. It was really heart-touching. I’ve known people for my entire three semesters here at Walters State, and they had hardly go beyond what their major is, much less hi. At that cafeteria table, within ten minutes of meeting people I’ve never seen before, I was getting hugged! The ETSU students I met so far are extremely friendly and know HOW to be a friend. Read it and weep, Waltie High.
After the first group left, Group 2 came in. Composed of Kathleen, Kacie, Casey(spelling?), and Rachel, I immediately found common ground with all of them. Rachel liked Techno music, Casey was Seventh-Day Adventist, Kacie liked me because I thought she was cool, and Kathleen just went along because of Kacie’s opinion.
Rachel liked Scooter like Andrew did, and Kacie loved my suggestion of two chopsticks in her hair instead of one. I got my picture taken of her, and have been commissioned to let Rachel get a hunk of my Techno music collection.
After we got out of Main Meal, Raj decided to take me on the tour that I didn’t get to go on. “This is ETSU, Nightlife.” He said. We walked over the entire campus for an hour, talking about various things, while he pointed out what buildings were which and such.
About 8:14, we reached his dorm and sat down. I was immediately granted access to his dorm computer to add my two newfound friends Sarah & Kacie. After that, we browsed Facebook for awhile, then just sat down and talked, letting Guyanese music play in the background, a string of Christmas lights on that lit up the room.
About 8:53, Raj announced that he had to go play racquetball with a friend of his at the CPA. He showed me where Jason’s dorm was, gave me my books, and went down the stairs. Upon arriving at Jason’s dorm, I discovered that the door was open & they were in the midst of cleaning up. I put the books down and pretended to suddenly open fire with a plasma autorifle. I could tell that I genuinely scared them.
Going in, it was very quiet, not a lot. I was still waiting on Kabir. I watched an entire feature of Discovery Animals: Sea World, and part of a Star Trek. It was somewhat boring. I even watched the end of Back to the Future.
Finally Kabir came about 9:45 and took me home. I was given a tennis roll upon leaving Jason’s dorm, and Kabir & I left the ETSU campus back to Kabir’s house.
When we got there, Kabir showed me some pictures on his computer that he took, and I was off. We planned to meet again several times during spring break, and to have a good time. I left at 10:30
Upon leaving Johnson City, the weather immediately deteriorated. It was raining extremely hard. I was also getting tired, and had to call Jason & talk to him so I wouldn’t fall asleep. I hydroplaned a few times, and finally reached home at 11:50.
So that was my very tiring day. As for Friday, so far so dull. The weather is cleaned up, so that means I have to help out at the observatory tonight. Took my math class, and glad that spring break is here.
Well, I’m off to Starbase 7 now. I will upload my pictures when I get there. Signing off,

All right, this is one 180 turn-around of a day. Sorry if this is short. Extremely weird and disturbing to me, even if it isn't to other people.
Mom's brother's wife, Aunty Nelly, got into a car accident this morning. From what I know, she left the road and hit a tree. Her spine is broken, and she was airlifted out of Takoma to a hospital in Kingsport. Details are extremely sketchy at the moment, and I don't know anything else.
Sorry, I gotta go. I'll update you later.
Wednesday, Mar 7
5:18pm
Today is unusually quiet. I feel that I'm being left in the dark at the moment. I have other things to worry about, however.
Aunty Nelly is in the hospital and is awaiting surgery. That's all I know for the moment.
I feel restricted right now. I was supposed to visit Medhavin, but Mom said that isn't a good time for her. I was supposed to visit the kid since over a month ago, but keep having it put off by Mom & Dad. I think I'll just visit them on Monday evenings when I get off work at the Physics labs like how I used to to keep up.
We're supposed to have company this weekend. I'm not sure who's coming, but "half of New Jersey" is coming, were Andrew's exact words.
Speaking of Sara, stupid her always picks a fight. I am sick of tired of her 'immature' behavior, and her being pampered and protected by Mom & Dad because she's the daughter. Screw her. When I move, bybybe!! No more stupid sister. And maybe I'll find a good substitute that's a hell one hundred times better than you are.
I'm itching to play DarkStar One. I don't even have a decent computer to play the game. I have to get a computer as soon as money allows. My xl847 is starting to fall apart, and I screwed the font folder up last weekend.
I think Guti, my pearl gourami, will need a different diet. More food that consists of something other than fllakes. I'll look into it.
Fleet Maintenance update, brakes on USS Orion need services. Rear brakes need replacing, & system bleeding needs to take place. I hope it gets done before the weekend.
Until now, I have some emotional garbage to clean up and take care of. Maybe I can do something to get it off my mind when I get home.
Monday, Mar 12
5:26pm
Well well, its back to school! Feeling somewhat lethargic, but hey, I did work today. Now its time for my blog.
Aunty Indra came over this weekend to visit everyone. I think everyone had a good time, got to meet Jennifer. Medhavin joined Facebook; other than that, an uneventful weekend.
I think I'll go home now. Maybe I'll pick up UV's Blazer if I get going..then again, I just feel like going home...

Okay, apologies for not writing a blog on Tuesday...Here's the deal.
Not a lot happened yesterday. Felt tired, so took a nap. Then delivered a power bill to Newport Utilities in Newport, then went home. Had accounting class too, but didn't enjoy it, I was tired and was attempting to stay away every minute. That's the last time I'm taking a business class for a long while. I'm staying with my sciences.
As a result of my trip, sorry Medhavin, your Blazer will be delivered on Friday or the weekend. I didn't get to pick it up. But I will, I guarantee you that.
As of my bored state, I have decided to incite several poke wars between people. I've successfully engaged Leslie, now to find other people. The Sarah Walls Campaign has been going on for about a month now, and tensions are growing once more between Misty Vinson, who had a poke war that lasted since November and ended in the beginning of March. Kacie does not seem to take attention to pokes...
Andrew & I got the Super Soaker CPS-4100 operational. Though a tad bit sticky on the trigger, and you have to take both hands to make sure the trigger fires, its much better than having no gun. That back in the fight, bring on the water gun fighting season. I'm ready...no wait, have to fix more stuff...and wait for warmer weather...but I'm ready!
I should write some of my stories when I feel bored, but most of the time I'm at the building where I can't do anything. When I'm in the computer lab, I can't drink or eat, so I can't think straight. It drives me nuts. Typing at home is a pain too, I feel the same way. At least I feel better at home...I think I need a vacation, not stay at home for a week, go out with people somewhere for a week.
Speaking of watergun season, Jason needs a watergun. I know he usually borrows mine during waterfights, but I believe that he needs to practice waterfight combat on his own when waterfights aren't taking place. That might help. Also frequent visits to iSoaker.com may help too.
Now a quick gripe about Political Science class. I'm sick and tired of this guy in an army hat who keeps talking about absurd things about the government. Granted some of this stuff may happen, Mrs. Foutch takes it up and spends almost the entire class time answering his 'proposition'. I would skip class since 19 out of 20 times this happens, other than Lawrence "Mr. Barfy" Barfell who does the same thing, but I lose participation points if I don't show up. Valerie skips it completely. I can't blame her; too bad I didn't have the cold stone heart to skip it. I work my butt off for scholarship money, to attend college & learn things! Not sit in class and listen to political standpoints. To quote Val, "I think I can learn more by studying at home." I agree! This is the last time I'm taking a stupid 'behavioral science.'
We did our final dissection of Lacus Gobbles today. Take it from me, pigs that are three weeks old do NOT smell good. Its a good thing I didn't eat, I felt like I wanted to throw up. Anyhows, we looked at their genitals, and that was it. I felt sorry for Lacus in a way. It was a fetal pig that could have been born, and could have lived. Sort of experiencing the same feelings that I felt when I killed the possum; we hate and whatever to each other. A life is a life. We remember that, even when we die. Many of us don't realize that it hurts when we do certain things, and a lot more people than that don't realize that its a big privilege to live & breath, and that life is special & precious. Even after I get upset at people, I feel rotten. I'm not going into the whole philosophy of what's going through my head right now.
Doing my math homework last night, I wonder what its like to study with other people outside the classroom that actually would enjoy your company and/or be willing to help you out. Since I entered college in fall of 2005, I've only done that three times, all three in my first semester. Two was within my first week. I don't think that worked out very well for me. Kelley was my "study buddy" back then. Wasn't nice. I hate looking back at it now.
For me, a "study buddy" is someone you can bounce ideas off of about more than one class, study together regardless of what classes you take, and help each other out and accompany each other in various activites on campus. During my trip to ETSU, I saw tons of students with study buddies, and see a few on WSCC. I don't know what I'm doing wrong in the equation, but I haven't been able to get a study buddy since back of first semester. People in my class simply aren't interested in studying with me, even if I do ask them point-blank.
Felt bad most of all when I looked at the PASCO Scientific magazine last night. I don't know what hit me, but it was a picture of this boy & girl using the PASCO Xplorer with a IR Photogate to measure the speed of a rocket. It made me all gloomy until I went to sleep. I almost cried. Why? I still don't get some of my inside emotions, even now.
I am in the process of setting up a GDM-10 Gamma Spectrometer that was part of a project Dr. Ford was working on when he used to work there. He left it when he retired, and it was left just like that. Even the cord to his laptop that the college let him use because of his status. I've hooked it up to the computer and have gotten it to work with WinDAS. I'll tweak it more when I start work-study in about then minutes.
I've typed enough right now. My stomach is growling...

Well, here we are once more on a Friday. Very rainy, quiet, nothing out of the unusual...yet...
Sudden realization; since its raining tonight, that means no observatory trip! Woo hoo!
Got the spectrometer working. Dr. Morgan is extremely thrilled about this, and we'll start doing experiments once I read the manuals and see what's there to do. Real science work! You can see a couple of the spectrums I collected in the photo gallery.
Then I cleaned up part of the observatory. Food years old, and things as coffee, creamer & such, I just threw them all out. Dr. Morgan was also happy about that, stating that "This is the first time someone properly cleaned up in here in 15 years."
Then I went home. Duh....
Thursday, got oil for the car & a fish filter. Also picked up UV's Blazer for him. I just need to drop that off for him. Also colored a lot of the drawings last night I posted yesterday.
Somewhat hungry right now, but don't have money/credits to go buy anything. That'll have to wait for now. As for other things...this is a comparitively small blog verus Monday & Wednesday. Over & out,

Extreme apologies for not posting blogs on Monday & Tuesday. I wrote myself a schedule, and forgot blogging time...oh well, here goes nothing.
Got Medhavin's Blazer from the store yesterday. I'm sorry to inform Jason that there is no more left, some mysterious person, me, UV & Medhavin are the only ones that own the only Blazers that are leftover from last year's inventory of K-Mart. Sorta makes you feel like the few, brave, proud, etc...
Posting some more digital art and stuff today; sorry pictures are slow coming up, haven't taken any lately. Don't get the camera a lot.
Had a math test on Monday, had an accounting test yesterday, had a biology test just now, then I have a Biology test on Friday...that's a lot of tests! At least it would be over by the end of the week.
Felt sorta down this weekend, but am doing better now. Maybe it was a mood swing...
Now I shall go post pictures and whatever else. If I think of anything else, I'll blog it. XD
