Really on Friday this time!

1. What is your favorite restaurant and why? Umm, Red Lobster, always, because it’s got damn good seafood. It should, for the price. Pasta House, cause well pasta is good. and they have da bomb toasted rav’s. That deep dish pizz place in Chicago that starts with a G and I can never remember the name of… and Pizzeria Uno’s here in town, because I love deep dish pizza. Chevy’s b/c they have great chips and chimichangas.

2. What fast food restaurant are you partial to? Steak ‘n’ Shake. or if you want a real ffr, Wendy’s.

3. What are your standards and rules for tipping? Je deteste tipping. I know it’s polite and stuff like that, but it’s like, we already paid for our food plus tax, and now we have to pay more for the server? Ugh. For all those out there who live for tips, I’m sorry, and I hope I don’t offend. I know that I would want tips if that’s what I worked for, but I hope never to be in the food service industry. I guess I’m just a hypocrite.

4. Do you usually order an appetizer and/or dessert? I adore appetizers. So usually those at a “fancy” restaurant… dessert only at regular places, but I try not to, it’s so bad for you, and I’m in training! yeah, just keep telling yourself that as you stuff your face

5. What do you usually order to drink at a restaurant? Water, b/c I’m a cheapskate. Milk sometimes. I am actually not a big fan of soda.

hmm. It turned dreary again. Sun, come out! I love you! I just found out that I used 78% of my posting quota last month. Hmmm. I guess it was all that quiz whoring. Sure you don’t like reading lots about me? Ha. I love it… but I guess I’m just narcissistic that way.

I told my mom about the poster presentation the week after next and she was like, “finally, some part of your homework that we can help you with!” lol. And some girl PF’s dad was talking to me at work today and he asked me and the building super if we talked the way we do now in back in high school. He thought we were very articulate. Obviously hasn’t heard college students at 3 AM trying to solve moment equations. Yeah. He probably wouldn’t want to read this blog.

After looking at some of the blogs out there, I feel very prolific. I must just ramble alot, though. I think that’s it. And to think, I do it all for myself, cause no one else reads this blog. Sigh. Off to track practice I am… and I have to do laundry tonight.

Must put hiatus sign up on the Realm. Someone else joined the clique! Yay! And get article from orlandomultimedia.net (Orli on Lego 🙂 )

Yay, it stopped raining… and I have to go to a design meeting, so I’ll see you later…like you care. Oh, and I did finish my physics, during class of course. And you should go here for a beautiful Legolas shrine. Wish I could do art like that. Congrats, whoever you are.

Yeah baby. Thunderstorm, and I got out of the rain just in time. Ahhh, gotta love April Showers. Just move your butt outta here by tomorrow, ya hea? We wanna run great at SIU-E and we can’t do that in the rain! Man, it was hot earlier today. And now it’s raining. I was thinking how I should have worn shorts, but then it goes and rains. Sigh. As long as it doesn’t rain on us tomorrow I’ll be happy.

I hate how I totally forgot about physics homework today. And of course it involves integrating. I hate integration. I am so math-impaired… yet I’m an engineer. Does anyone else find that extremely ironic? Going to lunch & class now…

You’re Liz!
Yep, you’re Liz Parker!

You’re a sweet girl who does good in school and you’re probably an ultra-virgin. You’re really into romance because love makes you go all mushy.

My advice: Remember not to lose your spine in the midst of all your lovey-doveyness. You can do great things when you use it.


Yep, you’re Max Evans!

Ack! What a loser. I can’t believe you’re on my site. (Just kidding, my mom’s a Max too.) You’re a leader who almost always does what’s right, and you’ve got an intense romantic side.

My advice: Stay sweet and romantic, and avoid the dark side. Otherwise it might turn you into an amoral arrogant self-righteous little snot a couple of years from now.

Wow, I’m so conventional. Sigh. I’m Roswell nostalgic right now because it’s official that they cancelled the show. My baby, never new again ‘cept for these last four eps. Sigh. I’ll miss the show.

oh my god, my parents’ anniversary is in a week and a half! Oh dear. At least it’s not an anniversary divisible by five… I don’t have to get them a really fancy present like I did last year for their 25th… but still, chalk another thing up on the “I’ve got too much to do right now so I’ll put it off till later” board….

And you know what? there are still people who joined my clique that I haven’t gotten to put up yet. I’m so sorry! I will soon, like within two months….

sigh. sometimes we have fun doing this design project, but then we realize how much crap we have to do and it’s terrible. I feel like I’m not contributing very much. All I seem to be doing right now is (not really) writing the paper and preparing my presentation. I’ll probably end up presenting the poster as well, which is not that big of a deal, but will be interesting because I won’t really have time to do it, what with conference the weekend before and all. Oh well. It’s going to be an interesting week and a half. And how the hell am I supposed to finish rewriting this damn lab notebook?

on a totally unrelated note: I finished the fourth Harry Potter book today. Very good, although I wish I could have reread the other three books first… it’s been some time now since I read them, and while she mostly doesn’t require you to remember things from the other books there are some parts where you really wish you did. Kind of amazing that I finished it in about a week, I suppose, given the amount of other crap that I should have been doing… needless to say I didn’t get a lot of sleep this week. And I’ll have less now that I left this lovely message for you, my wonderful fans… yeah right. Barring an Orlando Bloom-just-graduated-from-theatre-school-and-got-a-part-in-LotR-and-now-the-girls-love-me miracle (maybe not the girls loving me part, but guys welcome) I will not have any fans read this anyway. Well, maybe Lammy’s a fan. Maybe. I love you Lammy!

shut up! Go to sleep!

hmm. Have I told you lately how much I hate this piece of crap design project? This time next week I will be in Atlanta, baby! But the hoops I have to go through to get there…. shut up and do your work, biatch!
