^^ I hope everyone likes the title of this entry.
! The countdown to my cousin's engagement party is ticking away, wrapping its chilly hands around my throat. >.>; It's on the 16th, and everyone in my house is cleaning and cooking like mad.. dear god. It's a party for 40+ people, held in my backyard & house... we have a large backyard, so this is not impossible, but the cooking and cleaning involved.. *shudders* My mom keeps experimenting. I've had like, four types of chicken in two days, plus deep fried dumplings. ?_? What happened to just frying them?
Unfortunately, I'm not done with Grogan's summer english project, either, which is due the 15th. A 500 word essay is really very little, but I'm going to have to nitpick at it.. oh, well, thank goodness it's not like Thomson's.
I went to the dentist yesterday. I do not have a good track record at the dentist. It seems like every time I go there, I have a cavity or SOMETHING.
Well, this time I didn't have a cavity. Oh, no, not a cavity. I was getting my hopes up that she would just clean my teeth and let me leave.
"Oh, dear, what's this on the x-ray?" she exclaimed.
"Oh, look at that. The nerve is dead! *tsk tsk*"
I HAD TO HAVE A FREAKING ROOT CANAL.
She didn't even give me a novacaine shot. "Oh, don't worry, you won't feel a thing."
..
I THINK I FELT THAT LONG NEEDLE SHE DRILLED INTO MY TOOTH.
*bitter* It wasn't even my fault that the nerve died. Result of some bizarre congenital defect, thank you very much.
I blame my parents. -.-
*cackles madly* With a few modifications, THAT baby is my new computer ^^ my dad just bought it - a PentiumŪ 4 Processor at 2.66GHz with 120 gigs of memory. :) It'll be shipped in on Monday. We're not buying a new monitor, so the price came down to (with a $100 rebate) about $1053. (I know it says like $700 something there, but we upgraded a lot of the details.) An-y-way :) I'm so happy ~ money is kinda TiGhT, so I'm a bit surprised.. but this computer won't crash every other hour! (This one quite literally does.) So happy ~
One more note of bizarreness: my dad bought me not one pair of shoes today, but TWO pairs of shoes today. ?_? Combined, they're a bit less than $90, and I've bought just one pair of shoes for almost that much before (because my dad hates shopping so much, he just buys the first thing I say looks nice and fits).. but I have no clue why he told me to get two pairs. ?_? One is a pair of blah white sneakers I can use for walking (they're very cushy), and the other was indulgence.. :P Skecher low-cut black boots, baby. *squeals* They're really uncomfortable and really cute. ^_^; I got a blister from wearing them today - just walking from my house to the 7-11 - so they're not at all practical. BUT THEY'RE REALLY CUTE.
..
Extremely odd news tidbit for today that I'm sure greatly disturbs the boys who read this blog perfectly: "After 67-year-old Hurshell Ralls went into surgery for bladder cancer, he came out of surgery missing more than he ever expected. His penis and testicles were gone."
That's almost as odd as those flash crowds (which sound like a kind of bizarre fun). :P I have to help my mother do some typing now, so see ya. Bye now ^^
Spoken words: 26 have fallen.
You're odd.

Hey I found out a week ago that I am to be in honors English. I have to do that one assignment and the one that was due in July. I did the dialectical journals but didn't do either of the essays yet. Oh well.
I don't like root canals. Once one looked at me funny. I yelled at it and it ran away.
I have never seen the point of owning more than one pair of shoes. (This comes from the person who dresses the way I dress. So, this means nothing, I guess.)
*Insert Janice's 'ANDREW, EARL, AND AUGUSTO HAVE NO PENIS' line*
Hey, fuck you.
Now all you need is something to replace that horrible, horrible, AOL. (And NOT broadband AOL.)
Posted by andrew @ 08/12/2003 09:33 PM PST
Oh no! My mom says root canals are unpleasant. Actually, whenever it comes up her face contorts and she refuses to speak. How could she not give you novocaine? You should kill her.
Meh, Xanga is being hacked or something, so it's down again. I've got an unpresentable page at Blogger, but the CSS template I downloaded for it is confusing me. I'm hopeless.
Posted by Christina @ 08/13/2003 12:44 AM PST
I forgot, the office might be closed on Friday. I was supposed to turn in the first English assignment on a Friday, but I couldn't and had to the following Monday. There was a sign on the door that said something about it being closed on Fridays from [some date] to [some other date]. Of course, I don't remember what those dates were. Sorry.
Posted by Christina @ 08/13/2003 12:48 AM PST
Well, Andrew, I was being extremely sarcastic :P but no thanks, I'd really rather not fuck you, if that's quite all right... I have a headache, darling. ^.~ But for courtesy's sake, since you took it oddly (perhaps it was worded badly), I edited the original words in my blog.
And you're "suddenly" going to be in Honors English? After not suffering through Beidelman? GRRR. [reading her second book report book now]
I am the owner of: one pair of silver dress heels (three inches tall), two pairs of strappy black heels (two inches), one pair of white sneakers, one pair of black boots, one pair of black business pumps (two inches), one pair of hiking boots, all in about the size of 8 1/2, except for the heels, because dress is 1 lower.
Sad part about these shoes: I bought the silver shoes for Merrick's bach (bar?) mitzvah in 7th grade.
Well, hey, if the office is closed on Friday, no one can blame me for not turning it in exactly on the 15th, can they? ^^ Thanks for the heads up, though, Christina.
I sneer, with much dignity, at Xanga. :P Hee hee. CSS template? :O I use CSS to make the sidebar pretty and to control hyperlink colors.. thazzit.
I can hear Pride and Prejudice music from downstairs. My sister must be watching my DVD's. :O I have an urge to run downstairs and gaze at Mr. Darcy.
I want Pikmin.
Posted by Janice @ 08/13/2003 01:59 AM PST
Sense and Sensibility is on this Friday (the 15th) on HBO at 4pm. The first half of the Pride and Prejudice miniseries is on A&E that same day beginning at 8pm. Giddy? You have no idea. I haven't found any A&E plans to show the second half, which seems a bit like a cruel tease, but naturally I don't mind.
Posted by Christina @ 08/13/2003 10:00 AM PST
Just think, while Sense and Sensibility is playing, I'll be on my back finishing up my root canal.
A&E plays P&P a lot. A LOT. I've seen it on there three times, and it's always the Elizabeth Vs. Darcy's Ugly Aunt scene, which is very cool. :)
Posted by Janice @ 08/13/2003 02:28 PM PST
i am not trying to show off ^_^ ,but i have never had a cavity
Posted by lorik @ 08/13/2003 02:49 PM PST
Ooh, my mistake. I see now that A&E is airing the conclusion on Saturday the 16th at 8pm. Yum. I read on Amazon that the DVD has only so-so picture quality. How is yours?
Posted by Christina @ 08/13/2003 02:53 PM PST
?_? So-So quality? Occasionally the DVD sinks down into VHS quality, but that was mostly during the scene at Mr. Collin's house, and I really don't need to see his face clearer.
The pond scene is just fine, thank you.
Posted by Janice @ 08/13/2003 05:22 PM PST
Maaan. You ALWYAS have a headache.
I'm (not) writing my first essay right now. The biography one. I'm going to write my non-fiction one tomorrow. This sucks.
So does A&E. Whatever channel has Junkyard Wars is better. =P
Posted by andrew @ 08/13/2003 07:45 PM PST
Poor Andrew. I hate when people alwyas have headaches.
In The Friendly Jane Austen by Natalie Tyler (that's all from memory; scared yet?) I read the most disturbing quote, from a random person at an Austen convention: "Don't feel sorry for Charlotte. Maybe Mr. Collins was really good in bed."
Posted by Christina @ 08/13/2003 10:43 PM PST
The pond scene was more than just fine, thank you.
I hate Xanga. I've been wanting to blog and I can't get in there...sob...anyone want to host me?
...
Fine, be that way.
Posted by Sarah @ 08/15/2003 08:55 PM PST
I definitely feel your pain about Xanga. I got the shakes. I wrote entries in a Notepad file. I needed my fix. I have, happily, found that it's been working the past few hours. I hope that it will prove the same for you. Mmm... Three hours of Mr. Darcy, with the promise of more to come, does my heart good.

Posted by Sarah @ 08/16/2003 01:00 AM PST
No. He's just aZn.
One sentence.
Five lines.
Fifteen misspelled words.
Six Billion people confused by Chris' writing.
Posted by andrew @ 08/16/2003 03:08 AM PST
janice got ripped off on a new computer. good luck on upgrading your system. OH WAIT...YOU CAN'T DO THAT WITH A DELL ANYMORE...
Posted by augusto @ 08/16/2003 04:28 AM PST
I think Chris needs a hug. I'm not going near the poor love until he stops frothing at the mouth, though.
Posted by Christina @ 08/16/2003 08:51 AM PST
By the way, Janice, how was your root canal? Sense and Sensibility was splendid. =P
Posted by Christina @ 08/16/2003 12:39 PM PST
My root canal sucked. The second session hurt like a mother f*.
Chris, before I smack you silly, my dad dislikes the idea of buying computers from anything but Dell, especially letting my little friends put together nearly a $1000 in merchandise for him.
AND DUH, I read Chris' comments because I've deleted them before. And no, I don't want dsa. -.-;
I'll ignore Augusto's comment there.
Andrew, I'll show you Chris' message to me in my yearbook sometime..
Gotta go cook. ENGAGEMENT PARTY.
Posted by Janice @ 08/16/2003 01:22 PM PST
DELL SUCKS ^_^\\//
Posted by augusto @ 08/16/2003 02:57 PM PST
*Clears throat*
DUDE! You're getting a Dell!
I hate that guy. The intern thing is better. Carrot Top still is the most annoying spokesperson ever though.
Posted by andrew @ 08/16/2003 11:35 PM PST
*Clears throat*
DUDE! You're getting a COMPUTER!
So what, it's a Dell. Get the hell over it. A computer is a computer, it's not like you're running the world from your little desk at home. Unless you're me, then you are.
I have a really lame site that only Anime people would give a flying monkey shit about, but if curiousity compels you, click on my name. And I DO NOT want to hear about the spelling mistakes; I'll fix it already, geez.

The pond scene is fantastic.
