According to Wikipedia:

Sounds to me like Houston won't get hit as hard, but I'm not going to lower my defenses.  There will be a thunderstorm though, and it's going to be raining cats and dogs, I heard.  Many of the folks I know can stay indoors tomorrow; whether in their workplaces, home, etc...

...I'm a driver, and I work outdoors.  I pray that I don't get into some weather related accident tomorrow.

And I'm quite sure that some of my co-workers will call in, and I'm going to get called to work extra.  I'm turning it down.

Hey Kids!

Our Laptop is back... FINALLY!

I think I finally have a plan too for like, my life.

I am going to go to college for biology or chemistry, and also education.

Wahaha!

I think I will be a high school bio/chem teacher.

I want to go to Montana for college too...

My Uncle John Lives out there.

So, when they kick you out of the dorms, I will have somewhere to go.

I just want to go away...I mean, I love being with my family and will miss everyone here, but I really want to have that one big going away when you can do whatever you want.

And if I am a teacher, I won't have to live in the city.

That is what I do not want to do.

I want to live near a small town, in a HUGE brick house. With lots of trees, and a pond and horses, like my house now.

 : D
And the way I look at it, my parents have no money put away whatso ever, so I can pretty much do whatever, I mean, within reason, that I want because  I will be in debt anyway.

 

And, this may sound stupid, but I actually like Dan enough to consider him in the future...

But who knows!

 

SO.

Things with Dan and I have been going well.

Yay.

My Birthday is on the 24th.

YAY!
I'll be 17.

Wacha.

I need to fill out all the applications for college.

Ciao,

Mariah

It amazes me when I pick up the right book at the right time.  I love reading simply because a book can remind me of things easily forgotten.  The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella served as a reminder of many things.  It is actually the second time I've read the book; the first time when I was still living in California before my relationship with Josh began.  If I remember correctly, it was right after Alexa died.  Now, however, it seemed to make stronger points to me.

Samantha Sweeting spent every waking moment for seven years trying to become a partner in her top notch legal firm.  Twelve years before that was in preparation of becoming the best lawyer she could possibly be.  One single mistake (that wasn't even made by her) changed her life in a split second.  Mistakes in the legal world can obviously be costly.  This one happened to cost her client 50 million pounds.  Mistakes in her world were unacceptable, and so when the mistake came to light, she left without a single word - just walked out of the office and kept going until she landed on a stranger's doorstep.  The strangers mistook her for a housekeeper an agency sent to them.  Not having any answers of what to do about her life (especially after finding she was fired for her reaction to her own mistake), Samantha decided to make the best of the strangers' misunderstanding and remained as their housekeeper.  The funny thing is Samantha can't boil eggs much less do a load of laundry.  This top-notch lawyer ended up falling in love with the gardner and the charming country life she began to make for herself once she learned to slow down and smell the roses.  She learned to cook and clean.  Life drammatically changes for her and she just adores it. 

Suddenly the legal firm realized that Samantha never made a mistake, that a senior partner set her up to take his fall should his financial scandal be found out.  The firm fell over themselves to make it up to her and offered her an even better position in their ranks.  She was torn between accepting the offer and remaining where she was.  The gardner skipped town to make the decision easier for her.  But halfway to London,  Samantha leaves her partners on the train to find her way back to the love of her life even though she had no clue where to find him in Cornwall.  All she knew was she would find him somehow.

Gods, I love this book.  It's just absolutely wonderful. 

"It doesn't matter.  Don't beat yourself up for not knowing all the answers.  You don't always have to know who you are.  You don't have to have the big picture, or know where you're heading.  Sometimes it's enough just to know what you're going to do next."

Soft sigh in relief.  Lately I've been searching for all the answers and getting extremely upset whenever I'd come up empy-handed.  I often thought about going to the local metaphysical store to have my tarot read so that I get some answers, but I haven't had the money to do so.  Then I read these words and realized that it doesn't matter if I have all the answers.  It really is enough just know what to do next.  For instance, I know I need to find a part time job.  That's what I need to do next.  And it doesn't really matter what kind of job it is... I know I can do anything I put my mind to as long as I have Josh's support.  I know I'm starting school next month.  That's as far as I need to go... the only answers I really need.

So Andrew and I just parked down the street from his house and we were walking to his house and we saw two kittens. When we walked up, one ran away. The other just laid there. As we got closer we realized that the kitten had been hit by a car. He was still alive, but we knew it wasn't going to last very much longer. The poor cat was missing half of his face and there was blood everywhere. He was missing so much of his face that you could see the eyeball. Within seconds the kitten died, I checked to make sure. We put him in a bag and took him to the emergency clinic to be properly taken care of. We didn't want to just leave him there to be hit by more cars, eaten by other animals, or just rot.

Yesterday I went to Great America. It was pretty fun. Andrew talked me into going on the new ride, Firefall. Since I fail at explaining what the ride is, I looked it up on their webside pgathrills.com
" Fall head-over-heels! This new thrill ride will take 40 brave riders to a height of 60 feet, then subject them to 360 degree vertical arcs as they twist, turn and spin through both fire and water effects."

Last night I tried salvia again. The first time I tried it nothing happened, I don't think I held it in long enough. This time I made sure to do so. At first I just felt really high and I started laughing a lot. That only lasted a minute or something though. Afterwards it just made my head feel weird. Andrew tripped a little bit, he saw his side table melt and when he looked around it was all in snapshots. That's pretty cool. Ahah. Oh well, clearly I fail at salvia.

I only had 2 wine coolers with a 5 hour space between them but...I did so much yesterday (I learned to put titles and transitions on videos) that I am hung over.

Oh and I had a diet Mt. Dew and then a Dr. Pepper Diet within hours of bedtime.

And I watched Ron White. He's horrible. In a very funny way.

Did a bunch of Spanish.

Question. Please answer. Is there anyone (famous) you would just "do", given the opportunity and freedom from entanglements with significant others? If more than three people answer, I will tell mine.

Okay. A hint. He has the same first and last initials as I do. :D


Update: True to my word: CRAIG FERGUSON - He's SPECIAL.
