Ahhhh live journal how i have missed thee.  Ok, not really i kinda forgot about you but i'm back now so you can stop crying, i won't garuntee a long revival of my intrest in livejournal but a momentary intrest is better than none.  So anyway onto the reason i have come back to live journal dear readers is to talk about something that has been on my mind.  It began when watching pushind dasies this week and realizing that Olive is really an amazing character and possibly nay most likely my favorite on the show.  Then today jen was playing music on her lap top and this song came on with a voice that was eerily farmilar, it was none other than kristen chenawith or however her last name is spelled the person who plays olive on pushing daises.  so it was olive singing a song from wicked well she wasn't olive she was glinda cause thats who she played in the musical, and i realized that i rather liked that song, and in fact like all the songs i have heard from the play, and i even liked the small clip of the play i saw in the otherwise horrendus show ugly betty, mind you that atrocity of a show was only on because it happens to be on right before Grey's which i am shamelessly addicted to.  and as i was contemplating all of this an idea struck me i should go see Wicked.  so, i pitched this idea to Jen and she said and i quote in the loosest sense of the term cause what she said i don't actually remember and it probably sounded nothing like this at all  but it was somewhat along these lines only more jenish "we totally should i really really really want to see wicked it looks so cool, and awesome, and amazing, and like i really want to see it so me should go"  So then the idea was firmly and completly implanted in my head and its going to take a lot to remove it i have even gone to the point of looking up times when said play is being performed and noticed that if we should happen to go sometime in january there are still good seats available.  i just wish i knew if anybody else COUGH***ALLIE***COUGH would have any intrest in this at all.  Alas unless somebody COUGH***ALLIE****COUGH should let me know i guess i will remain in the dark.  

oh so on another note we are going to be up in boston this weekend to see people and i can't wait.  of course i have boatloads of hw that i am putting on hold for this and god only knows when i will get a chance to do it.  so after this weekend dont excpect to ever hear from me agian cause i'll either be dead from over working, have failed out of school and be living like a hobo on the streets of kingston, in butler after the inevitable mental breakdown, or on permant leave from my senses and off cavorting with the penguins, hippos and emus.

oh and one last note if you are the first person to get the answer to this problem right within a reasonable amount of time i'll give you a prize.  (warning this problem is really hard and only about 1 in 100 people get it right )ok so heres the problem:  You are walking through the woods and you come to a large ravine.  It is 60 feet wide, 40 ft deep, and miles long (so you cannot simply walk around it) you have to figure out someway to get across this ravine, however the only tools you have are a 20ft ladder, a box of tacks, a book of matches, a candle, an endless supply of rope, a few small stones, a pair of pliers, and a pencil.  How can you use these objects to get across the ravine.   (GOOD LUCK)

 So in case you can't figure out for the title we are staying at the days inn hotel in Miami, South Beach, and this probably goes without saying but our visit has had a few minor hiccups or glitches if you will so i figured i'd compose for you a letter that i would like to send to them but being me and being non-confrontentional to a degree, won't send. so here it goes...
   Dear Days Inn,
            You Suck.  First i would like to say your maid service it is terrible.  Is it so hard to make all the beds and deliver fresh towels.  I mean seriously you come in and make one of the three beds and only half stock the towels to me that seems just a little bit odd.  But thats not even half the problem no my biggest complaint is your elevators.  I did not appreciate my nearly two hour ride in your elevator.   Ok, the elevator got stuck, i'm not happy about that but its not your fault.  However do you know what is your fault, its your fault that the stupid people at the front desk didn't do anything to get us out of the elevator.  We call they say they'll got somebody.  We nicely believe them.  The lights go out then come back on then go out and come back on but nothing happens.  We are patient we don't hassle you which apparently was a mistake because an hour later we had to press that stupid button and call you a second time, and you know what we are told.  "OH i didn't know there were people stuck in that elevator."  Yeah thats right they had no idea so what i want to know is how we got forgotten.  But not only did we get forgotten once, they forgot us twice.  because we had to call a third time and then when the guy finally opened up the door he was amazed  there were people in there.  and thats all i have to say jerks.  You left us in an elevator for nearly two hours.  Do you have any idea how annoying that is.  Well i'll tell you its extremly annoying.  
                   Sincerly 
                         A very annoyed patron. 

Well that would be my letter.  So yeah got stuck in an elevator for along time it sucked a lot.  So jen that must have been my punishment for not being there when you actually needed me.  Idk Karma getting me back or something all i can say is it sucked.  The rest of the trip has been cool though.  We went on an airboat ride yesterday and saw baby alligators they were cute.  Today i went shopping with mom we didn't get much but it was still fun.  And we had sushi tonight it was tasty and came in a cool boat.  I also discovered that eel is very yummy.  

So i'm posting for the second time today figured i'd better make up for lost time considering i haven't posted in how long now.  Anyway so we went to the hardrock cafe for dinner and the most amusing part of the night driving there.  Want to know why? its not because the dinner was boring, well it was a little but not that bad, it was actually intresting because of the rain.  I mean we left and it had been raining i'd say 10 maybe less minutes, and but on the drive there there was suddenly rivers of water in the roads.  and the roads in florida all slant so if you stay in the left lane your ok.  of course ok is relative considering ok was just 2 feet of water and not was closer to 3.  It was crazy there were so many cars stalled it was like a maze.  and then we made it to the restarunt, which was amusing i didn't really fit into either group there was the adults and the fencing kids.  so i mostly tended towards the adults conversation which was mostly amusing.  and my new motto learned from one of the parents, is "if your not in trouble your not having fun".  and after dinner the roads were no longer flooded it was absolutley dry and perfect.  idk i guess they have bette drainage up here.  But so far miami is fun.

     So i just finished my second full day of watching fencing.  What i learned was foil is just boring and theres way to many off target hits.  However epee and Saber are cool.  Epee is basically for those extremly cold calculating, patient people, cause its a lot of waiting and striking at the right moment. I guess its most like real sword fighting.  And Saber is the sport for those impatiant, quick thinking  people.   its amusing that both of the sports have sterotypes, though epee is the overanalytically smart slowpokes, and saber is the fast impatiant idiots.  I also learned that people are very protective of chairs. i don't know how they managed to carry those things around all day cause they had to have weight close to 20 lbs.  but hey if your to lazy to stand whatever.   Well thats enough on fencing cause honestly i think that my first exposure to a real tournment was more then most people can handle.  I've pretty much had the sport shoved in my face and was forced to take it in untill my mind felt like it was gonna explode.  it was fun though and despite having a book readily on hand i only read one chapter of it.  

So, its the last day of my spring break, sadness.  The week has been pretty uneventful.  Played alot of final fantasy 12, damn you Gil Snapper.  Still can't find it, i can find the tracks of the beast, and go there when its raining but its empty, stupid game must be malfunctioning.  Work was boring today, though i think my manager must have gotten yelled at or something because today she actually cleaned some and wasn't as disorganized, but was rather cold towards us.  honestly thought i don't mind the lack of insane singing and bouncing around, and am very happy that the place no longer looks like a couple of cows drinking a couple pots of coffee blew up.    And now I will post that game that Allie started.  And first things first the Rules, which i'm sure everyone reading this knows but, for the hell of it i'll post them anyway.
Step 1: Open up whatever MP3 program you use and add every song in your collection.
Step 2: Put it on random.
Step 3: Post the first line from the first 50 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.

So, strike talks continue tomorrow, and there is some meeting thingy-ma-bob where we vote on the strike, i thought we already did that but here we go again.  anyways i have a nifty new dark blue union braclet.  It makes me feel all special and like i'm a part of the cause.  idk so its actually kinda stupid but whatever i'll wear it.    Just got out of work in case you were wondering where all the work refrences were coming from and it was boring as hell.  I cleaned a coolata machine, after having to tell the third coustomer that the machine was down.  That little angel and devil got into a massive brawl and next thing i know they have convinced me to clean the much hated machine.   After work the plan was to drive home, post on livejournal, take a shower and then call allie or jen cause i'd be bored.  however the plan didn't go....well according to  plan....i drove home, and then somehow got waylaid playing pinball for an hour.  that game is tricky like that.  it appears and next thing you know you've been playing it for 45mins and with no highscore to show for it either.  its very sneaky like that.  well i don't know what i would have talked about if pinball hadn't taken over but i'm sure it would have been just as interesting though i seem to have totally forgotten it now.  oh well.  i'm done. 

So, my english class has way to much of a focus on women and their place in society for my taste.  I mean i love the teacher and all she's great funny, always making jokes, way to into the material, and properly zany for an english teacher.  But the femminist stuff thats not really femminist don't ask long class discussion on it it was odd, is a little beyond my interest.  now i looked over the list of books when we started this class, found there was Jane Eyre again.  plus some other random books.  then we get to Ruth which is about a Fallen woman and i thought oh well at least its not Tess, hell i think if that book had been on the list i might have dropped the classe even though i love this teacher.   And then what do i find out in class today apparently Tess was written using Ruth as a model.  Which ment we spent 20 mins disscussing it today and all i wanted to do was jump up in the middle of the class and scream TESS MUST DIE.  Of course i didn't, because a) i was tired b) my throat hurt meaning my voice is in and out and c) i'm not exactly one to make a big scene in the middle of class.  But honestly can i not escape that  horribly annoying and really evil book.

So, i have spent about 90% of the time since my last post a few hrs ago curled up in a ball on my bed and hacking to the point where my chest ached.  I was scared i might have bruised a rib.  and the one thought running through my head was why the frack is this starting now, why couldn't the coughing fits have begun like idk 7 or so hrs ago while i was at the doctors office.  you know why cause clearly my body loves to tourture me.  I'm going to go back to sleep for another hour or so now, before i get up and trudge off to make dinner for my friends,  did you want some phlem with your ham.  hopefully jen won't read this untill after dinner and can just be grossed out or whatever then.  And the only reason i'm up is cause anthony called and woke me ahead of my alarm why he called me and not kate i don't know or care i just want to sleep.  And by the way Steve Fallone you will pay for making me sick.  

So, i got back from my classes today, and its a monday which means that my class load sucks, and i came to the realization that timing never seems to work in my favor.  To start with my parents have seriously got the worst timing in the world, at least when it comes to calling me.  I swear they know the exact moment i leave my phone behind for five mins and choose then to call, or like today call me in the middle of a class.  Now clearly in the middle of class I am not going to answer my phone.  Yes, if you call me enough times i will get worried and answer or call you back out in the hall before class is over but otherwise you just have to wait.  I'm sorry, thats how I am.  but of course the parental units do not see it that way.  according to them I intentionally don't answer the phone when they call.  now I would just like to point out that if i was in fact ignoring them don't you think i would also not call them back.  Which I do every single time, however i'm still ignoring them and thus i get snippy messages on my phone saying as much.  It really annoys me. 

Oh and to make things even worse the thing my dad was calling about yeah the timing of that sucks too.  I finally decide I want to see a doctor about my headaches cause they are getting ridiculous, so my parents nicely set up an appointment but of course they place it on the one tuesday were instead of getting a night shift at work i have a day shift.  So, I call dad back after class and have to tell him I can't make the doctors appointment he had been calling to find out when i could make it because i have to work.  Why does timing suck.  It's really not fair.
