oh sigh

I have a sad story for all those who have not already heard. I have developed a crush on one of my teachers. It all started with this dream I had last week. It involved hand holding and flirting only for me to realize that he was married. I have strandge dreams. So now I go to class and feel all awkward the entire time. ug. It's not all that suprising, really. I tend to like guys who are older than me and married with kids.

A roller coaster week

So that report I was writing... yeah it didn't get turned in. I missed the online deadline by like a minute bacause I got the times mixed up. I sent it to my teacher but I don't know if he accepted it and put it up online or didn't. oh, the sadness that lives in my life right now. I really would like something that resembled a passing grade in that class but I don't know if it is possible. I missed the first test because I forgot. sigh. It angers me.

Looking at blogs I like them so much more when there are many pictures to distract me from the actual words, so expect pics! haha

The Computer Cord of Death. also known as The Computer Cord that died and therefore caused my death but that's a little long. I will call it the CCoD for short.

It died. It was a sad day in my life because I am unable to use my computer at all since the battery is shot and it needs to be plugged it. I am currently using Anne's which is very nice of her but I miss my computer. Even though it is a grumpy thing that only does what it wants to when it wants, it wants to do stuff much more than Anne's. It's a little frustrating for me.

Up there on the top is my CCoD at least what it looked like before death. The right is after death. Something tells me that is bad. Very bad. Very broked. I just spent $47.75 dollars of my parents money on a new charger. It's not from the Apple store because they wanted 80! not including shipping which the top one does. GAG! I dont' have that much money.

I have most excellent news. I have gotten a babysitting job offer. This is way cool for me because I love babysitting! Few things bring me more joy. I'll be working 2-3 days a week and getting $60 dollars per day. I've been worried about money especially if I lose my scholarship this semester. This is exactly what I needed- a job I will enjoy. The mom who is offering was saying the days would be set every week, most likely. She mentioned Mon, Tue, and Wed. I hope those are able to be the days that would be too perfect. It would leave the weekend to babysit for other people's date nights. I'm so happy about it.

I've got my entire semester off planned. I'm going to finish organizing my grandparents' movie room, babysit, learn to sew, try to keep my house at a somewhat clean level (I cleaned my room yesterday and am trying to keep my side in a clean and organized manner. I love it. It's so great to be able to comfortable lay on my bed and walk around my room and have a much better idea where everything is!), go through g&g's stuff with Rachael to help them organize all their stuff so we can walk through the train room and Peter's room, etc., and take walks through various deserts and pick up recycling. Let's include play with Ela and Rachael on that list. It will be much fun.

I have begun the plans for the birthday party of a century. It will probably only be me and some relations because I have a problem with people forgetting my birthday. I have invited a bunch a people to a party where few people showed up (maybe 5?). One person gave me a card. The annoying thing is it was a joint party with Melissa Wonnacott and people gave her presents! What the heck! Anyway, I mentioned in an earlier post about WW2 themed parties. Guess what this is! oh yeah! Everyone will be all dressed up, Emery's growing his hair out (or he's supposed to be), I'm so excited. I get to rock a head scarf much like these ladies except I'm doing it because I don't have much hair. Fabulous clothes will be worn along with fabulous make up.

It will be so much fun.

Repost of Foyle's War pics

Rachael, my lovely cousin not the 50 thousand other Rachaels or Rachels I know, informed me the pics didn't work on the post a little while ago. My computer liked it just fine but every other computer doesn't. Here they are!

Sam and DCS Foyle on VE day

I love the pics on this page. Especially that last one. It give a full look of Sam's uniform which I like. http://www.foyleswar.com/episodes/603/603.htm

And here's the video clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SdjIX80Yis

Only the first 30 seconds is really all you need to watch and not even that. Rachael better not watch the entire episode so we can watch it together if anything. Isn't Sam's hair wonderful. I despretly wish I was that talented.

Do not procrastinate the day of your...

homework doing. Then you get stuck when you realize you have two entire books to read over the weekend. One with a review due on Monday and another with a quiz on Tuesday. It stinks. You'd think I would have learned by now. I had to read the Gilgamesh and Oedipus the King in one night. Ok to be honest I read a couple of lines of Oedipus since I knew the story from reading Antigone in AP Lit and I skimmed the last half of Gilgamesh. Unfortunatly the Aeneid is rather long. My other book titled The World of Deaf Infants is on the longer side but mostly because it's not an exciting novel. If it was a novel I could have it read in less than a day. Why don't my classes have me read something interesting? huh? I should also look to see how much of the Book of Mormon I need to read. When I grow up I'm going to stop being a procrastinator. I've been busy thinking about hair and make-up and cakes (in the shape of WWII airplanes or Hitler) and WWII themed parties in Ridgecrest so I can dress up etc. Something tells me I should be reading so off I go. I will post probably Tuesday after classes when I no longer have massive assignments to read and tell the exciting tale about my broken computer.

New obsession

I've always had an obsession problem. I'll like something and be completely obsessed with it for a month or two maybe more and then be totally done with it. I'll do it with hott actors, movies, books, tv show, eras, etc. I have the ability to be amazing about it. I'll love it so much and convince myself I need all the merchandise, I change my computer screen, it's really bad. I did it last semester when I started learning a little Chinese.   Now I'm trying to figure out if my new love is just one of these passing things or if it will stay.

So there's this guy... Just kidding. My current love is vintage and with that goes the British tv show Foyle's War. I've loved it since I first saw it Thanksgiving of my 8th grade year. That was about 5 and a half years ago. We went to London because Dad found cheap plane tickets. If I had pictures on my computer I would put them up. I had some wavy triangle hair. I often compare it to the lady in Dilbert who's name I just learned is Alice.

Anyway, back to my topic. I've always been attracted to stuff from the 50's. The big, poofy skirts that go "wee!" when you spin, the hair, it's all so cool. So, I started watching Foyle's War, now I'm developed a fascination with Sam, the main female character. I love her hair. I wish I could do it to mine. It's short now, but it was long once. We had borrowed the series from Aunt Jane or Grandma or someone and I wished my hair could do her curly thing. Now, I've developed taste for not only that but all the clothes too. Oh, and most importantly red lipstick. They era manages to make everything so glamourous! Even rationing and smoking (no I am not going to take up smoking in case anyone was worried). I'm now on the lookout for patterns of 30-40's dresses. If anyone is sitting around saying to themselves, "My life is so unfulfilled. How can I changed that?" Break for thought. "I know! I'll buy Christy a present!" You now know what I want. I also want all the seasons of Foyle's war but, sadly, I am too poor and most people don't love me enough to spend $40 and up for me. Now for pics! 

This is the last episode I think. I've heard that they are doing one more from some sources and that they aren't from others. I'm a little confused. Or maybe I can't count. Anyway this is from VE day. Isn't her hair great! and even her uniform. I'd love one of those. Emery has a German uniform hanging around that he borrowed from Uncle Peter. We'd be so cool together, right?

She spends most of the time in her hat and looks like this

These are the main characters on VE day. From left to right: Samantha Stewart, Christopher Foyle, and Paul Milner 

And then because I love him so much

This is Sam's love interest for a large portion- Andrew Foyle, her boss's son. oh, and he's with his dad. The dad is the old guy.

I think this is from the episode they first meet. I wish more guys had cool hair like Andrew. Hair today is way too lame. And if you are somewhere other than BYU-Idaho it's way too long. And guys don't wear suits enough. I would do fairly well living in a time period where you had to dress up all the time like in Hairspray. They guys are so snazzy.

I couldn't find the back of Sam's head in picture form so here's a youtube video link. She has her hat off a few seconds in, about 4-6 is all you need. It does change she adds more curl to it later but still. Why can't my hair do that? I need to develop skills.

That's probably enough of my blabbering but I love it! Love it, Love it, Love it!!!!!!

ps. I just found this cape from the 20's on ebay. It's $5 plus shipping. It's so cool. That is all. 

There once was a Christy...

who needed something to do. 

Hello this is Christy, rocking the world of Snoresville! Thanks for joining me here! You too can be put to sleep with stuff that you learned in high school for a small fee of $793 for three and a half months of use. What a deal! Sign up now!

I cut my hair all gone on Tuesday. We had a four day weekend for Memorial Day, which rocked, so I decided to get it done. I ended up getting the haircut free because Anne let me use her nifty card that gets you free stuff. Unfortunately, I'm a sucker so I bought shampoo and conditioner. Now I have enough shampoo and conditioner to last me awhile because you don't need a whole lot when you don't have much hair. For those of you who know Becky Trimble it's essentially the same hair cut as the one she has in the picture of her and Gary on their living room wall. My hair has just enough curl to make it do stupid things so I still have to straighten. Now it's basically necessary because my hair looks very odd without it. 

I got a 94 on my swing test today. Yeah, I rock. No one really wanted to test with me which is not totally flattering. Actually, it's not flattering at all. I had to ask a guy who was already supposed to dance with someone else. She was going to dance with him, but not test with him because she was convinced he didn't lead well enough for her. He was just fine. gosh, girls are too silly. I can say that objectively because I am an alien from outer space (not Mexico) with no gender. Yes, it's true! If you try to run away from me in fear I will shoot you with my laser gun that I hide in my human looking foot. Yep, it's a suit and the feet have hinges so they can open. It's such a nice place to put my stuff. 

Yesterday, I lost a textbook that I needed to do my homework. I spent at least an hour looking for the thing. My room was clean for clean check but I had to tear it apart so I could find this thing. I tried to think of where I saw it last, but I was suddenly imagining it everywhere. hmmm I think I remember seeing it in my food cupboard, or my bathroom drawer... I don't think I have ever put it in my bathroom drawer, but I did put something weird in there one day. I can't remember. I tore my room apart and was beginning to freak out when I decided to pray. I had done everything I could. After, when I was really freaking out because it was about midnight and I still had this homework to do, Le and Khanh helped me. Well, Le helped; Khanh followed us around because she was eating her dinner. She was trying to think of places to look that I hadn't already. Le climbed up on my bed to look at the shelf with all my books on it and looked down at my bed. There it was, sitting there mocking me for not being able to find it. I'm convinced it's a miracle because my bed was clean (mostly, there was a pile of skirts at the other end) before I started this adventure. The only way it could have gotten there was if I put it there when I picked up a pile of notebooks. It wasn't there I looked. I'm am so grateful for Le and her willingness to help me when no one else would and for my Heavenly Father for helping us find it. 

The park down the street and around the corner has a carousel and a two sets of slide play sets. One of those play sets on one end has a button that you can push and it become a water park! I think I will go this weekend. It's so much fun.  

Tonight I went to my FHE sisters' house and we sat around a fire, ate s'mores, roasted starbursts (which is suprisingly delicious), watched High School Musical and made fun of High School Musical. It was great fun. There was only one guy and get brought pot stickers. I ate one, amazing I know, and suddenly had a desire eat top ramen fried in dough or something. That's kinda what it tasted like. When I got home about 5 hours later, Anne and I made some top ramen and bisuit dough. It was so good! But filled me up like no other though.
I'm coming down with an exciting disease. It's the "don't sleep more than 8 hours" disease. It bites. Ruined my weekend.
Tomorrow I'm cutting my hair. oh, yeah! I'm so excited. My hair has been falling out a lot lately and it will be nice to have it short and not have to deal with it in the shower and stuff. Nothing ruins a nice shower like running your hands through your hair and pulling out bunches.
