Top 11 Performs

2007-03-20T20:20:00.000-04:00

Kicked off last week: Brandon Rogers. NOT SANJAYA!? WTF?! UGH! I was too disgusted last week to write anything.

BRITISH INVASION WEEK

I have pictures this week! I didn't decide to start taking pictures until Chris, and none of his were good...but the rest I got some good ones! So yay! Maybe I'll do that every week...take pictures of the tv, haha.

Haley - "Something About Love" - It seems to lack something, and every time she moves, she drifts off. I didn't like it. Seems I'm the Simon tonight after hearing Randy and Paula's comments.

Chris R. - "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" - I liked how they opened it. The lights were very right for the mood. It was very mellow. I thought it was alright, I don't really have much of an opinion about it.

Stephanie - "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" - (long song titles tonight) I think she could sing this better, but I still think it is really good. The blue dress looks really good on her!

Stephanie listening to the judges.

Full shot of Stephanie and the judges. Pretty dress!

Blake - "Time of the Season" - very groovy lights. eek, a note a little off and makes you cringe. Those upper notes...seems a little weird. Go beat-boxing! Haha, i liked the little thing at the end there. :-P He's fun. Simon, "A million times better than last week!" He did make it more modern without changing it too much. HAHAHA, Ryan sang. :-P

Being helped with his performance.

Lakisha - "Diamonds are Forever" - She looks so pretty! :-) That was MARVELOUS! She's so fantastic! She's so wonderful! YAY!!! Shut up Simon! She was great! Not too old!!! :-D

Singing her song.

Full shot of the pretty lady!

Phil - "Tobacco Road" - That was really good. It was really fun, and he really gave a lot of energy for it. It was great! Yay! "Third Division Bar Band performance" - Simon...what's that? haha

Rockin' it...or something...haha.

Jordin - "I Who Have Nothing" - Very dramatic beginning. She's so pretty! I love the straightened hair! She's great! I really liked that! It was very pretty song. YAY!

Singing her heart out.

lalalalalalaaaa

Sanjaya - "You Really Got Me" The wild side? What's with that girl sobbing? It wasn't as bad as usual...but it still wasn't good. Ugh. Geez...

Sanjaya "rockin' it"

Gina - "Paint It Black" - SHE IS AWESOME!!! I loved it! She's so fabulous!!! I love all the people with red in their hair supporting her. Her new hair cut is cute! Simon...torture? NO WAY! Simon is not right this time man. That was great!!! (but i hate her shirt...)

I do not like that tongue ring, ew!

Chris S. - "She's Not There" - Niiice...start in the crowd! Hahaha "Bringing Chubby Back" :-P GO CHRIS!!!! YAY! GO Chris! He's fantastic! :-)

YAY CHRIS!

Melinda - "As Long As He Needs Me" - Why is that girl sobbing so much? GEEZ! GO MELINDA!!!!! It was a little boring tonight, but she sang it great!!! :-)

Melinda with Ryan

The girl who was sobbing the entire show. Haha.

Tonight overall was pretty great. Please DO NOT vote for Sanjaya. He needs to go. But I'm afraid since he didn't totally blow tonight, he'll still be here.

GOSH!

Taylor out!

My Cowboy!!!

2007-03-14T08:18:00.000-04:00

Just a little fun with FD Flickr Toys!

Top 12 Performs

2007-03-13T20:27:00.000-04:00

Diana Ross Night

I'll type while they are singing it, and post it after the show is over! Enjoy!

Brandon - "You Can't Hurry Love" - Forgot his words? Had a little squeak? Um...no, this is where you bring your game...he left it in his dressing room.

Melinda - "Home" She rocked it. She was wonderful! She could wear sweats and sing, she'd still be so wonderful and everyone would vote for her! I know dresses and high heels can be such a pain.

Chris S. - "Endless Love" - As much as I love him...I did not like that version of the song. The singing was good...the song is really great...the version...SUCKED!!! And it did sound a lot like Coldplay's "Speed."

Gina - "Love Child" - I didn't like her necklace...it's too big! Yuck. And she needs to lose the tongue ring. I hate those things. Aaaand...her make-up is a little weird. But she sang the song great! I really liked it.

Sanjaya - "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" - What's with the earrings? And is he trying to look like Chris Sligh?! He is just so lacking. He lacks everything good. Go Randy!!!! "Thank goodness for the background singers!" Paula...who cares if he is sweet? HE CAN'T SING WELL ENOUGH FOR AMERICAN IDOL! How the heck did he get this far?! Hahaha, Simon's comment, "You're very brave..." VOTE HIM OFF!!!! as in...don't vote for him thanks!

Haley - "Missing You" - She kinda has that Katharine McPhee look tonight. Ew....what's with that dress though?! That ribbon looks really messed up. I'm not really liking this song. She is really pretty, but I don't like her performance...it was boring. Simon's response is surprising! He liked it? She messed up her words? I didn't even notice...shhh!!! Don't confess that!

Phil - "I'm Going To Make You Love Me" - I wonder what he looks like with hair now. Some of those notes it looked like he was going to eat me! It was alright though, I thought. It was fun. Seems the judges didn't think it was that fun. Haha, Simon will say anything that doesn't agree with Paula.

Lakisha - "God Bless the Child" - KiKi! She's a true performer at heart. You can just see it in her, she belongs on the stage. I thought it was really good. Randy, "Unbelievable vocal...that was sensational." Yeah she is!!!!!! Simon, "Performed like a star, outstanding." She is a star! Go Lakisha!!!!!!!!! She's great. Yay Kiki!

Blake - "You Keep Me Hanging On" - Haha, fun lights!!!!!!!!! It was alright. I didn't love it...But the lights were so fun. Hehe. :-P I agree with Simon, he didn't sound as good as he has in the past, but he'll be back and fabulous again! :-)

Stephanie - "Love Hangover" - Interesting dress...I don't know. The big notes seemed a little off. I didn't like it. I'm not sure about it. She forgot the words too? I couldn't tell with her either.

Chris R. - "The Boss" - Stop moving your head so much Chris!!! The background reminds me of St. Patty's Day! Which is fitting, because that is Saturday. But...it's just awful. When will it end? No no no. Sorry, Chris, didn't get my vote tonight.

Jordin - "If We Hold On Together" - I love her dress. She looks so pretty. She is singing it really well. Go Jordin! Though, one note was a little iffy...eek! But I thought it was good! Slightly boring, but good! Careful her dress doesn't blow up! Wow, a three girl race!

*note -- The sound guys sucked tonight...I vote them off!*

Overall - the girls brought it, and the guys...not so much. I think, and hope, it is Sanjaya going home tomorrow night! Top votes...Lakisha wins this one, and Melinda and Jordin close behind!

Taylor Out!

Awesome Personality Quiz

2007-03-10T09:58:00.000-05:00

I thought it was a really neat quiz. You should take it...it was correct for me, and a really neat way to set up the quiz. It is really well done.

Here is me!

What are you?!

Top 12!!!!!!!!

2007-03-09T07:01:00.000-05:00

AAAANNNDDD here is the top 12:

Blake Lewis - YAY! He's a great singer, I'm really glad he made the top 12, but he was definitely going to get in anyway.

Gina Glocksen - I love her. She's fabulous. I thought it was really funny when Ryan implied there was something between her and Chris when they were holding hands and she was like, shut up! Boyfriend upstairs! Haha. She's great!

Brandon Rogers - I don't really like him, but yay for him getting in the top 12.

Chris Richardson - He's alright. My brother really likes him.

Haley Scarnato - Her getting through was a surprise, but good for her!

Jordin Sparks - Yay! She is so sweet. Totally deserved a spot in the top 12!

Chris Sligh - No surprise here! He's the greatest ever!

Lakisha Jones - No surprise here either, she's incredible.

Melinda Doolittle - No surprise here either! She's fabulous and was definitely getting into the top 12!

Phil Stacey - My mom wanted him gone, but no! He's sticking around! I like him, he's not the best, but I think he should definitely be in the top 12!

Stephanie Edwards - She sure can sing, but she doesn't really stand out to me. So we'll see how she does.

Sanjaya Malakar - WHAT?! WHAT?! Stop saving him people, he CAN NOT SING WELL, he is weak and not top 12 material. He knows it! STOP VOTING FOR HIM! thanks.

Can't wait for next week!!!! :-)

SPRING BREAK!

2007-03-05T09:17:00.000-05:00

So...this years Spring Break won't take us anywhere exciting...as we are staying home, but I'm sure it will be fun nonetheless! Last year was a blast up in DC, we saw so much stuff, and I enjoyed spending so much time with Kevin. This year going somewhere just never got off its feet...we thought about a lot of places, but in the end, we are horrible at saving money. Haha. So...we're home, and it's okay. Because we get to work a lot, and get a lot of money for it, and then do whatever we want around here with all the students gone! It's a nice break, and we'll definately do something fun this summer anyway. We've got two more months of classes, then it's SUMMER! Dawn's wedding is coming up in May, and I'm sure that will be a blast! I really can't wait. She found her wedding dress, and our bridesmaids dresses, so it'll be fun to see those.

I was bored and decided to ramble, but i should probably get some work done, haha. I'm sure I will come back and ramble some more!

This is my kitty. She's sooo cute. But she can get rather annoying because she wants attention CONSTANTLY...especially when i want to go to sleep or need to get ready. Haha. She'll weave between your feet like a soccer ball, but she's loads of fun. haha. :-)

New Things!

2007-02-06T00:08:00.000-05:00

This past weekend my dad put together a cat playground that my mom got for my cats off of ebay. My grandma also sent me a quilt she made for my bed! Here are pictures! :-)

Zoey on one of the platforms.

The whole thing. They seem to like it!

My new quilt!

Again with a little mood lighting...;-)...actually I accidentally put my finger in front of the flash.

Close up of the middle flower. I put the sparkles on!

New Threadless Shirt!

2007-02-03T10:12:00.000-05:00

I can't wait to get it! :-) If you want it, follow this link...you can get that one, among many others.

Have a wonderful weekend!

P.S. You can get one for your kids too!

Fun Night at PKs

2007-02-02T00:31:00.000-05:00

PK's, a local pizza place and bar, has "Flippin' Thursday Night"...where when you order pizza's, you flip a coin (well, a manager flips a coin) to see if you get them for free or not. We got both of our pizza's free tonight! :-) Last time we went, we got all of them for free too. I think there was three or four.

Christin and her HUGE beer.

My Kevin. :-)

Dawn!!!

Dawn and Danni (I'm not sure how to spell her name, haha)

Trade!

2007-02-01T21:11:00.000-05:00

Kevin has really been wanting the ipod shuffle I got for Christmas from my great aunt. So...they then come out with ipod shuffles in color! And I definately want a pink one. So Kevin gave me $20 for mine, and I am going to get a pink one! YAY! :-)

(P.S. I got him that sweatshirt the other day!)

AMERICAN IDOL IS BACK!

2007-02-01T14:38:00.000-05:00

I do intend to do what i did last year and say what i think of everyone. But that won't be until the finalists are through, because I don't want to talk about TOO many people. But if I do want to comment about some, maybe I will.

And today, I was like to mention Sherman Pore. He was really sweet, and that was a really nice thing he did. If you missed his performance last night...here is a link you can see it at: http://www.rickey.org/?p=1736.

I hope you enjoy. I can't wait until the real competition starts going!!! :-D

My Boyfriend...the awesome photographer!

2007-01-19T15:03:00.000-05:00

Kevin got a new camera recently, and he's been taking it everywhere with him, and plays with different picture shots a lot. Well, he has been discovered. Well...by a group called "Helluva Shot." And they posted him as one of the favorites!!! See it here...he's #16.

Here is his flickr photostream!

Check his pictures out!

Oh, and he does a podcast for the college we go to (Virginia Tech) and you can listen to it here. (He's the HokieCast)

Isn't he wonderful?!

Looking To Buy Trolls?!

2007-01-10T01:07:00.000-05:00

Look no further than right here!

A Queen.

A King.

And the World's Best Babysitter. (great gift for your child's favorite babysitter!)

Click on the picture or link below it to go to the auction on ebay! Thanks!

Family Guy Monopoly

2007-01-03T10:08:00.000-05:00

A whole day of fun...and it's not over yet.

We decided to leave it last night, and get back to it tonight. That's three hours of work right there. Kevin has hotels on the first row, and half of the second. I have hotels on the orange, and houses on the rest of that half of the board. Kevin is slowly building up houses on the two blue places. *AH* The last time we played, I had a hotel on the blue ones, and that pretty much did him in. The hotels along his haven't hurt me too much, but it prevents me from spending money to build more houses on mine, so I am insured that I have money for when I land on is 100,000 hotels. Haha. You'd think I'd have the advantage with the more expensive side of the board (excluding the blues though), but since the houses cost more on that side and he already has hotels...it's harder!

Anyway. I just felt like talking about it. Anyone know good strategy so I can beat Kevin tonight?! Haha

New Blog

2007-01-01T21:57:00.000-05:00

Yes, yet another blog. But it's just for this thing I'm trying out that I saw online. Take a picture everyday for a year. And this is where I shall put them to share to the world. I'll try and find something interesting to take everyday. But I can't promise anything! Haha.

Enjoy.

Threadless Shirts!!!!

2006-12-20T09:24:00.000-05:00

Hey! So I'm thinking anyone who views this should go here. Because if you buy, I get points. And when I get points, I get free money. Now who doesn't love free money? And who doesn't love to help out others to get it? It is the season of giving. So maybe a threadless shirt would be a good gift? They are unique and made by people like you! The process is...someone creates a design, the threadless world scores it, sometimes saying they'd buy it, if it gets a high enough score and enough people saying they'd buy it, then it will get printed. Then you get to buy them! That's where YOU, yes YOU, come in...search throughout the catalog, pick something you or a loved one or even a friend would like, then buy it! Here are some examples of what is available:

"Mozart Didn't Like to Practice Either"

"Day of Reckoning"

"Homework Evidence"

"Planetary Status"

Enjoy! :-D But please go through this link to help me out! :-) I'd do the same for you :-P

Next Semester!

2006-12-09T01:19:00.000-05:00

I might of had a little too much fun making this. :-P Anyway, thought I'd share! Since I know the rest of the world cares...

Last Game for Seniors

2006-11-26T10:38:00.000-05:00

Yesterday was the last game for the seniors. Well, besides the Bowl Game of course. We will miss them all!

Megan, Virginia, Wendy, and Meredyth -- Senior Bone Babes

Next Semester

2006-10-30T19:44:00.000-05:00

So, last week we had to sign up for the classes we wanted for next semester. We don't know if we get them until after Thanksgiving Break. GOSH! Haha.

Anyway, here is what I want:

Maps and Mapping (required...well, they are all required, but I HAVE to take this one, i can choose from lots of choices on the others)
Introduction to Meteorology (YAY!!! I CAN'T WAIT!)
Geography of the Global Economy (*shrugs* I don't know...but it seemed better than other choices)
Geomorphology (I had to look up what it meant, but it's about land forms, and I thought it sounded interesting)
Geography of Wine (I figured, why not! It should be interesting, and it's from 5-6:15 on Tuesday and Thursday nights, and Kevin is always with his dad then...so I can keep myself busy while he's out.)

That's it for now. I hope I can get them all! That is 15 credits, Kevin is taking 19...weirdo. Haha.

Most of my classes (all but one) will be on Tuesday and Thursdays. That is four classes! But, I don't mind. At least...right now I don't. Haha.

Stay tuned for me to talk about my trip up to Jersey for my cousin's wedding!

Fantastic Saturday Off

2006-10-08T10:24:00.000-04:00

First of all, I want to show my excitment of the gas prices going down, by showing you a picture of it! haha. UNDER $2!!!!

Anyway, so yesterday Kevin and I went to his mom's for their Open House. We had some home-made BBQ and YUMMY brownies. We watched football too! :-P It's weird not having to go to a game after so many weekends being filled with them. Then we went downtown to Lyric's dancing in the street, and due to the rain, it was moved inside. So we watched the band, and they had the mask revealing after they had a mask contest. Which included pig masks to an exclamation point to popcorn masks. Craziness. Haha. Some of them scared me, but I had Kevin. Haha. After that, Kevin and I went over to Squires and played some pool. Technically I won all three times, but Kevin would have won twice if he hadn't hit the 8 ball in or hit it into the wrong pocket. Silly! Haha. I can't wait until we can use the pool table in the basement. I can't wait until the basement is finished and the HD TV is hooked up!!! YAY! We finished up with the pool when we were getting so hot no balls were going in at all, haha. So we went over to Dairy Queen and since Jillian was working, I got ice cream for free! :-D YAY JILLIAN! :-) We walked back up to Kevin's car and went back to his house and watched TV and stuff. It was a really nice day. I can't wait to see him today! We're going to have a lazy day. :-)

Random

2006-09-28T09:47:00.000-04:00

So...I have the site meter, and it is now past the 7,000 mark. It went up a 1,000 in like...a week. Haha. I was looking though them, and it will tell me if someone googled something (like it'll tell me the actual search word they used) and came upon my site because of it.

People have been googling like..."bored monkey" and "runn" and get my site. They get some sort of picture that I don't have anywhere. Haha. It's so weird.

I just wanted to laugh about it on here. :-P

IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE ONES WHO HAPPEN TO COME ACROSS MY SITE PLEASE GO TO MY OTHER BLOG BECAUSE IT'S BETTER BEING THAT IT IS A WEATHER BLOG!!! haha: http://looking-towards-the-sky.blogspot.com/

thanks

Hokies win another one! 4-0

2006-09-24T12:40:00.000-04:00

YAY! The game yesterday was pretty scary. But we pulled it off in a 29-13 win over Cincinatti! :-D

Kevin and I went to the motormile speedway last night. I never thought I'd get so into cars racing around in a circle...haha.

My Day

2006-09-22T23:38:00.000-04:00

Let's have a my day blog...

I roll out of bed at about 6:30 and hop in the shower. I was sooo exhausted. After I got out of the shower it was straight back to bed for another half hour. I finally managed to get up for good and get dressed. I went downstairs, got on the laptop like usual, and printed out my journal due for Women Studies. I also looked through a people's magazine for an ad that are sexist or something like that. Haha.

I went and parked...the parking lot wasn't so full today! Yay to Fridays!!!! I waited for Kevin and we walked up to class together. We went to our selective buildings. Class was alright...we just talked about the ads and gender in the news, like we do every Friday.

After class I met back up with Kevin to go to Music in America together. He needs to not make the font on the slides so small. He also needs to slow down when he has a 1000 words per slide! Ugh!

Kevin had to go do homework, or study or something, so I got some spagetti from sabarro and went to work. I got there and my desk was finally moved! I'm so happy with our office now! (I share it with Christin.) I rearranged a few more things to make more room for both of us, and put all my trolls and stuff back up. I'm really happy with it. I also moved the computer down off of the desk so I have more room!!! AND I got a key so I can come in really early in the morning and get more hours! Hehe. AND I had my file folders moved in my office so I don't have to walk so far to get them. :-P

I finished up the spagetti for dinner and ran off to practice. GAME DAY TOMORROW! Practice went well...but Aaron brough Snickers and Rootbeer as his rank snack, and those are like two of my very favorite things. :-( Oh well.

After practice I went over to Kevin house, and we had fun. I finished all the cookies though. :-(

Tomorrow is up early for the game!

GO HOKIES!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. GO TO MY WEATHER BLOG!

Pretty excited

2006-09-21T15:29:00.000-04:00

I really like my new weather site. My boyfriend helped me with the layout. He's a total computer geek (which is totally adorable, by the way), so he knows what he's doing unlike me...so I might have him figure out what's wrong with the backround on this one. Or I might just totally change it. Who knows! Stay tuned!

But definately check out my weather blog. It's beyond awesome. :-P

And I plan to do great stuff with it weather wise. :-D

Especially if a hurricane will actually hit us. Haha.

With this site, I'll try and fix it and blog more! :-P

New Blog

2006-09-20T22:31:00.000-04:00

Yay! New blog!

http://looking-towards-the-sky.blogspot.com/

check it out!!!!!!!!!!!

:-)

HOLY SHIT I'M WRITING A POST!

2006-08-31T22:01:00.000-04:00

Let's see if Kevin catches this. :-P

Anyway...so I've been at VT for two weeks now almost. There has been a killer on the loose near campus, lots of reading, labs, and now RAIN. GAMEDAY is on SATURDAY!!! YAY! I can't wait.

I've enjoyed being in the MVs for real. Haha. Instead of just sometimes watching practices, and going to all the games and watching them march. Although, I get to have the fun without all the work. Haha, at least that's how it was yesterday. It's funny how some of the bones are all, I heard you partied with us in Jacksonville? Haha.

I'm out of practice with this...so...yeah...

Anyway...no one will read this anyway, so it doesn't matter!!!!!!!!!

:-D

I love Kevin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I don't know what's up with the color problem on the page. *shrugs*

Happy Birthday Dad!

2006-06-20T08:44:00.000-04:00

Today is my dad's birthday. He's 40-something or another. 46 I think. He's was born in 1959...so he's...oh...he's 47. Haha. My train of thought all written out.

I got him a 20-some odd long Sudoku book. They're all linked together. Pretty neat. My friend, Amanda, did it...and my dad really likes those things, so I got one for him. Amanda finished it, it was crazy!

New Camera!

2006-06-16T11:12:00.000-04:00

I got a new Canon Powershot SD630

so much fun.

it does things like this:
which is fun. You can choose any color you want to show up, and it'll make everything else black and white.

:-)

Kevin wanted it, and then I fell in love with it, and got it. Haha. So I'm broke until the end of the month, which sucks.

666

2006-06-06T09:57:00.000-04:00

EEK!

I hate not writing, but due to lack of computer and time at the moment...it's nearly impossible to write on this thing.

But I will get back in the habit soon...I don't have many readers. I think...two. But, I can still give them a reason to read this anyway. :-)

more later

TAYLOR WON!

2006-05-25T11:00:00.000-04:00

YAY! Not suprised, but still happy! :-)

I really liked his single, and I didn't like Katharine's very much at all. So that's why I wasn't too suprised. Haha. Katharine, I'm sure, will still do very well.

Long Week

2006-05-20T09:48:00.000-04:00

Busy season at work = Taylor feeling stressed. And I'm not a person who really gets stressed. Dawn and Dixie went to the beach this week, so I didn't have anyone young around. Haha. Thursday was 8 months for Kevin and I! Yay. We went to Outback and then went back to his house and had pie and watched the Will and Grace finale. Aw :-(. But I made the pie! Yay. I guess Kevin liked it, he ate two slices. Haha. Last night we went to a party. Amanda came with us, but she left early. It was like a high school reunion. Haha. There are pictures of it down there in "Pictures 2." But I enjoyed myself. It was funny, Kevin went to the bathroom, and some guy came and sat on the arm of the chair and started talking to me. And he asked me my name, so I told him, and then Kevin came back and was like, "and I'm her boyfriend." Haha. I love him. :-)

The rest of the weekend I don't know what I'm doing. But I know, I'd really like to just chill. Haha.

Oh, Prom is tonight. I really had fun at my senior prom last year. It was a whole lot better than the two previous years. Haha. Yay. I think it's funny how my brother is all "i could have gone to prom..." I was like, riiiight. *shakes head*

Results

2006-05-17T21:58:00.000-04:00

Elliott gone

TOP TWO: TAYLOR AND KATHARINE!

I just found this funny.

2006-05-17T19:36:00.000-04:00

I'm bored. So I just looked at random xangas...I came across..."Beans_Hippos_and_JD"'s xanga.

On it she has this on it:

" according to the catholic herald..... if you're gonna go watch the da vinci code, know what you're watching and know your faith, dont go watch it opening weekend instead wait a few weeks, this is so that they cant say that it was #1 in the box offices it's opening week, instead you should go watch "over the hedge"."

I just found that really funny. Haha.

Top THREE

I watched it last night over at Kevin's house. Overall it was a pretty good night. Katharine really did Simon proud. Doesn't help for that guys ego any. Haha. I tried voting last night. I only got through to Katharine twice, and for Taylor, I didn't get through at all (I tried voting the entire 2 hours). I'm thinking it's time for Elliott to go. I don't know why, but I just feel Taylor and Katharine should be the last two. *shrugs* We'll find out tonight!

*crosses fingers*

Top FOUR!

2006-05-09T20:03:00.000-04:00

Theme: Elvis

Taylor - "Jailhouse Rock" - He's awesome! He really did rock! Hehe. Simon is so wrong, he had fun, it's fun to watch someone have fun. And that is that.

Chris - "Suspicious Minds" - Would you believe I didn't know Elvis sang this song? Haha. It was great! FANTASTIC! I loved it! YAY! Yeah it worked! Haha.

Elliott - "If I Can Dream" - Not bad. Not bad at all!

Katharine - "Hound Dog" w/ "All Shook Up" - Last girl! Uh ohhhh. Forgot some words!!! But over all really good!

Mr. Soul Patrol - "In the Ghetto" - That was really good! YAY! YAYYYY!!!! Magnificant.

Chris - "A Little Less Conversation" - It seems to lack a certain...*umpfh* It should of had more excitment. But it was still good. It got better at the end!

Elliott - "Trouble" - Great again! YAY!

Katharine - "Can't Help Falling in Love" - YAY! I looooove this song. She better do good. Listen to Michael Buble's version...sooo good! (written before she sung, just to clarify) Um...I didn't like it. AT ALL. No no no no. I'm afraid for her for Kevin. She didn't have the very best night like the guys did. *shrugs*

While I Was at a Stop Light...

2006-05-08T21:32:00.000-04:00

1) I don't know if you can see the licenses plate, but it says "MR2FAST" *coughcough* ooookay.

2) Hot car, but...it's raining...not so smart to have the top down.

3) It's still raining. Make it stop!

SO....

2006-05-07T10:41:00.000-04:00

What's up? I haven't really been actually writing in a while. I've been sort of busy. In a way. Everything I do is with Kevin, pretty much. Hehe. I'm not complaining. We've gone to lots of piano and trombone concert things. We saw Juxta in concert, and went to the acapella thingy too. That was interesting, because we got to see all the acapella groups of VT. Juxtaposition (male), Sensations (female), Naturally Sharp (male), and...and...um...another one (female). We saw Romeo and Juliet. That was good. But they randomly had a "media" crew. I still didn't understand that. Haha. I don't remember what else there was...but, it's been fun. Classes are over. I have two exams to take this coming week, and I'm finished with college until August 25! :-) I also have to write a final paper, but I don't think it'll be too hard. So, yay! Haha. Yesterday Kevin and I played "Scene it?" games I got for christmas. The movie one is fun, but the TV one, not so much...*shrugs* There is a Friends Scene It, I want that! Kevin's mom told me that Mountain Lake is doing a bunch of stuff next year for Dirty Dancing's 20th anniversary! YAY! I LOVE Dirty Dancing, it's my favorite movie. :-D eek, i just told my dad that, and he said, "shouldn't it be 25th?" I said, "no, because it came out in 1987, the year I was born, and I'm going to be 20 next year, so that will make it the 20th anniversary!" and wow...I'm going to be 20 next year. I'm not 19 yet, but it's still...old. I'll be 19 in...however long the counter at the bottom of this page says I'll be. Haha. Oh! Check this out, please.

TOP FIVE

2006-05-02T20:01:00.000-04:00

(Live thoughts from my house! Yes, unfortunately, I'm not at Kevin's this week :-( )

~round one~
Theme: Songs from the year they were born

Elliott: "On Broadway" - 1978 - It was good. He looked like he enjoyed himself. Yay.

Paris: "Kiss" - 1988 - Can anyone say PRETTY WOMAN! Haha, that was a funny scene. I enjoyed it. I think she should have done the '*smooch smooch smooch smooch*' from Pretty Woman. Haha.

Chris: "Renegade" - 1979 - Wew! I enjoyed that. I thought it was really good. Yay.

Katharine: "Against All Odds" - 1984 - I didn't like that performance. There was something off about it. *shrugs* Better next time. And I don't like the dress.

Taylor: "Play That Funky Music" - 1976 - AWESOME!!! He rocks. He's truely an entertainer. :-P WEW!!!! :-D

~and round two~
Theme: Billboard Charts

Elliott: "Home" - Yay! Bubblicious action! :-D He's nothing compared to Michael. *shakes head* I wasn't thrilled with it. But it wasn't horrible.

Paris: "Be Without You" - What is she wearing?! Haha. I thought it was an okay performance.

Chris: "I Dare You" - It was okay. I don't know it, but...*shrugs* He's still awesome.

Katharine: "A Big Black Horse and a Cherry Tree" - (I think that's what they said it was) The drums are cool. Why won't she stand up? It was odd, but she had fun, and sang it well. I don't know this week with her...

Taylor: "Something" - He makes me want to dance...before fast...and now I really just want to wrap my arms around Kevin's neck, hold him tight, and dance cheek to cheek with him. He's awesome. And he looks awesome with purple hair (the lights shining on it). Haha. It was good.

A Troll and A Dress...

2006-04-27T19:56:00.000-04:00

YAY! I LOVE the troll, and the dress. :-)

Top 6! -- A day late...

2006-04-26T19:38:00.000-04:00

I was at Kevin's last night, watching American Idol on his new tv. And I wanted to put a picture of it up, that's why it took me forever to make this post. Haha.

Katharine - Even though the judges sort of bashed her performance, I thought she didn't do too bad. Though she wasn't wearing the most flattering dress...

Elliott - He did a fantabulous job!

Kelly - "I don't have anyone to play pottery with!" Hahaha, she cracks me up. I thought it was borning, I love this song, and I couldn't get into her singing it.

Paris - I didn't really enjoy it. It just makes me shrug. *shrugs*

Taylor - I love what he's wearing. :-P It was okay, not the best though.

Chris - I though he did a good job, however, I didn't like how he "yelled" part of the song, because it's such a sweet, tender song! But I get that's how he sings, so, it was good!

Sorry to bring this up again...

2006-04-24T23:40:00.000-04:00

BUT! My curiosity paid off. I was really excited to see today's weather map had a dry line in it! :-) So I had to mention it when I did the weather on VTTV - Tech Tonight. I also mentioned the snow up in South Dakota and Nebraska, haha. Anyway, so after the show, Jummy (that's her name, yes?) said that the weather was "hot." She even mentioned me knowing what a dry line was. It made me very happy. That silly little brown line brings much happiness to a little future meteorologist. Haha. Tonight was our group's last show for the semester. Next Monday is the last show of the semester. And I won't get to see it. :-( Or sex talk. I need adelphia!

Anyway, that was my little note for the day.

Sunday Seven

2006-04-23T09:40:00.000-04:00

I'm bored, I'm gonna just say the first seven songs on my ipod.

The first is one I listened to on my way to Food Lion this morning: "Candy" - Mandy Moore. I think the Mandy Moore CD might have been my first CD ever, either that or Britney Spears. Haha. What? I was like...10 or 11 or something. Gosh, that was such a long time ago...I'm so old.
Next we have "Tell Me Something Good" - Chaka Khan. It's the live version...I don't really like live versions, but...it's all I have. *shrugs*
"I Want it That Way" - Backstreet Boys. And another song from my distant past. Haha. When I was little I had a crush on the Nick on, the one with blonde hair.
"Papa Don't Preach" - Madonna.
"Right Here Waiting For You" - Richard Marx. My parents tell me I sang this song before I could even talk. Haha. I love this song, and the piano is awesome in it. I wish I could play it.
"Hanging by a Moment" - Lifehouse.
"Love is Strange" - Mickey and Sylvia. Yay! Dirty Dancing is one of the best movies EVER. I love it! :-D

Mickey: "Oh Sylvia!"
Sylvia: "Yes Mickey?"
Mickey: "How do you call your lover boy?"
Sylvia: "Come here lover boy!"
Mickey: "And if he doesn't answer?"
Sylvia: "Oh, lover boy?!"
Mickey: "And if he still doesn't answer?"
Sylvia: "I simply say: Baby, oh baby, my sweet baby, you're the one!"

Sorry this wasn't posted at the right time, but hey...who faithfully read that stuff anyway? Haha. I was with Kevin. 7 months today! :-)

But anyway...the theme was Rod Stewart...I think. Who is just awesome.

Everyone did really good. Except Ace, of course...he sucked.

Yay Chris though! He did really good, got out of his 'image' so that was different. But a good different.

That's all for now.

Rain, rain, go away.

2006-04-17T12:25:00.000-04:00

Kevin and I are sitting here in the library (he's far away from me, since there wasn't two computers together :-( ) in Dublin. We're suppose to go to Graffiti's, but a big down pour of that wet stuff has momentarily stopped that from happening. And I'm really hungry. I suppose I could go down stairs and get something, but I'd rather have something from Graffiti's! Ugh. Stupid storm... that to the right is what we are sitting through right now (I tried using the picture editor to circle where we are...at least where I think we are...I'm not exactly sure where Pulaski County is...but it doesn't come up very well...sorry bout that). Ugh. What fun, right? Haha. Lots of lightening and thunder, I just heard someone walk by and say there is a tornado warning? That means conditions are VERY favorable for tornados...is that true? I hope it's just a watch. That's not so bad. Then there is a 'might be favorable' instead. Haha.

We'll see. :-/

A Weather Lesson.

2006-04-16T13:03:00.000-04:00

As most of you might know, I want to be a meteorologist. Well, today I was wondering what the weather was like, so I go to weather.com and I look at the United States. I noticed something odd...that brown line going through Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. It bugged me I didn't know what it was, so I looked it up. It's called a dry line. I thought that was interesting, because I had never heard of one before. I probably would have if I lived in the central US. But, alas! I live on the east. Haha. I am very happy where I live...we don't get full-force hurricanes, the mountains mostly break-up all the strong storms, and VERY rarely do we get a tornado. It doesn't get REALLY cold or hot. And doesn't snow too much. So...yay! Kevin wants to live in New York City for a while though. I'm not totally sure about that. *shrugs* I'd really love to live in Charleston, SC. That'd be wonderful. :-)

(I was looking around and I found another site about dry line's that was interesting.)

There is even a book kinda about it.

HAPPY EASTER!!!!

2006-04-16T10:03:00.000-04:00

Yes, Happy Easter. My mom got me a little bunny, fudge making stuff, and lots of candy! Yay! Haha.

Last night was fun. Kevin and I saw a piano recitel thingy. He was really good. Kevin was so adorable, he was playing along on his knee. Hehe. Then we went over to Bobby's for a party. That boy has a party like ever other weekend! Haha. We stayed there until about 12:30ish. It was actually kinda fun. And funny. Hehe. Plus we figured out something is weird about me, but oh well. Haha.

Today I'm not sure what I'm doing. I most likely won't see Kevin today, which makes me really sad.

My mom told me we were going to have pork for dinner tonight, and for some reason it popped in my head that jewish people don't eat pork...so I was all, good thing we're not jewish. Haha, then I realized jewish people don't celebrate easter either. Oops.

OH! And yesterday was the Spring Game! Guess what?! We won!!! That Cory Holt guy looks pretty good as a QB. Hopefully our quarterback situation we'll be good. I haven't been following it recently. But all of that Marcus Vick stuff was just crazy. He had it ALL and he had to go ruin it. I don't get it. *shakes head*
(I forgot to give fun details...) Kevin and I drove down there, and walked to the stadium. We got some drinks and tried to find a seat. On our way to a seat, I saw Cliff, and then there was amanada! So we sat with them. The whole clan was there. Haha. Amanda, Noni, Cliff, Ashley, Kyra, Mackensie and her parents. Haha. It was interesting. I felt bad though, because Amanda wanted some food and I left Kevin alone with them to fend for himself. Aww :-( Anyway, the Maroon team won 14-10 against the white team. There was no score in the second half. GOSH! We had pretty good seats, about the middle of the West End exactly. Now I know what football looks like, haha. I'm use to the close to the ground, from one end-zone view. Haha. Kevin and I left so he could get back to his grandmother's food family thingy. I sat at home cooling off from the HEAT! haha.

I think that's all I have to see. Enjoy your Easter, or whatever you're doing today!

2006-04-12T10:17:00.000-04:00

I'm in dublin right now. We had to come down early because Kevin has a speech to make, and they have to video tape them now. So a bunch of people from his 'class' are getting together to make the video, because you have to have atleast four people over 18 as your 'audience' for the video. Haha. The reason I say 'class' is because he's taking it online, and it's not a real class. You know? Haha, anyway...

Yesterday I got to honk at someone. It was thrilling really (haha, thrilling? *shrugs*). I don't really honk, unless I see someone I know. But this guy...ugh. First off, he was on his cell phone. Secondly, there is a hill that goes up from one street and connects perpendicular to another street. There is no stop, the other street are the ones that have the stop. It's a bit odd. But, people who are not familiar with the area stop there anyway. This car, with a sticker from University of Alabama, stopped. And not only did they stop, but they just sat there, with no one around. So, I being very annoyed, honked my horn. :-D it was great. Haha.

I worked a good bit yesterday too. It's easy to stay at work and not get bored and leave when I have stuff to do. I can't stand being at work when there is nothing to do! It drives me crazy. Then Kevin get's all, that's irresponsible. And then I get sad that he thinks I am. So...it's better for everyone for me to have stuff to do at work. Plus I get money! :-D

Oh, congratulations need to go out to Rose! She made the madrigals! Yay! I'm very proud of her, and I can't wait to see her in whatever dress she picks! Yay!

I'm running out of things to talk about...ummmmm...maybe I'll just make a bunch of links like I did last time I waited on Kevin for a while. Haha.

Top 8

2006-04-11T20:30:00.000-04:00

QUEEN!!!!

Bucky - "Fat Bottomed Girls" - I thought he did really well. I really enjoyed it. It was a bit country rock, but hey...i love sweet home alamaba! haha.

Ace - "We Will Rock You" - ohhh yeah...it's such a hard song...it wasn't horrible though. Maybe because it was just all yelling. ahaha: simon "it was 'we will rock you gently.'"

Kellie - "Bohemian Rhapsody" - she's got the look and the lights, haha. I thought she did really well. She was a performer tonight. She rocked it!

Chris - "Innuendo" - I was familiar with the song. It was good though.

Katharine - "Who Wants to Live Forever" - In the beginning, she sounded old. Haha. Some rough spots, but it was pretty good.

Elliott - "Somebody to Love" - I thought it was really good! I really enjoyed it!

Taylor - "A Crazy Little Thing Called Love" - Awesome song for him! He really had fun out there, it was a very enjoyable performance!

Paris - "The Show Must Go On" - Interesting wardrobe and hair choices, haha. That sounded really good.

Over all I think this week was really good.

Yay :-)

Kellie is my top pick for tonight. Kellie, "I don't have an accent!" hahahaha...

My weekend!

2006-04-09T22:13:00.000-04:00

Friday: Let's see...no class! :-) So I went into work about 11. My boss had asked me to alphabetize some stuff, so I got that out of the way. It turned out to be most of one thing that was already alphabetized, yay! Haha. Then I worked more on my new task of making lables and folders and stuff. Kevin scared/suprised me! :-D I was afraid he wouldn't since he stopped by on Tuesday and I wasn't there. But he did :-D He never lets me down. Hehe. Then Sara came in, who's job it was to do the lables and stuff in the first place. She found them all finished. Haha. Yes, I am magnificant! Hehe. So I taught her how to enter people into our system. *Taylor is all knowing!* I have worked there for 2.5 years almost. I finished a lot of stuff. Yay. *feels very accomplished* Oh, but I had been listening to Sowerby & Luff, and it was a little too loud, so one of the marketing/accounting people came in to my office and was all, can you turn that down a tad? I felt really bad, haha. That night was a really big storm. We lost our power from like...7-somethingish PM to 3:30ish AM. The ice cream melted!!! Haha. But I went over to Kevin's that night. We watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding. We also had a tickle match. I was injured. But I have no proof of it, because there was no bruise like there should have been. Haha.

Saturday: Woke up to the power back on! I went over to Kevin's later in the day and we watched Memoirs of a Gheisha and Finding Nemo. There was more tickling. Haha. I think we got some food too, me from BK and Kevin from Taco Bell.

Sunday: Kevin and I went to the international fair, and then hung out at his house for a bit. Then I went out with Amanda! She got her hair cut, very cute. We stopped by Pizza Hut, and then went over to Target, where we just walked around the entire store. Haha. It was quite fun. And now I'm home. Watching Spiderman on TBS and listening to music, as you can see below. Oh, and I have a new edition...pictures!

The Big Squeeze

2006-04-07T00:21:00.000-04:00

Upon purchase of my new ipod nano i went searching for interesting podcasts...I stumble upon a podcast network called "Comedy 365"...I was intrigued. So I took a gander at it and downloaded some of their stuff. I found I really liked Sowerby and Luff's Big Squeeze Show. First off, their british, and their accents are just awesome. And then they're really funny. I'll get some quotes off them when I have time and give you all a little gander! If you have an ipod, you should really think about downloading at least one of their podcasts and check them out. Or just buy them a beer! Hehe. I've downloaded all of their recent casts, and i can not wait for more Brian and Georgina!!! :-D

RESULTS!!! sorry they're late...

Chris -- It's a good song! He did really well. He might become my favorite. I just really haven't had one this year.

Katharine -- I didn't like the song. She sung it okay I guess.

Bucky -- I really liked it! I really like that song. Haha.

MY IPOD IS HERE!!!

2006-04-03T17:56:00.000-04:00

yes, two days early! I'll take pictures :-P hehe

stay tuned!!!

April Thunderstorms Bring Morning Rainbows

2006-04-03T08:13:00.000-04:00

At about 7:30ish this morning, my mom wakes me up and makes me go outside. I go outside and there is this beautiful half double rainbow...later it totally filled out. I don't think i've ever seen a full double rainbow, and it came out really well! It was amazing. I took a few pictures with my little crappy camera. Haha.

This is in from the side of my house.

Another one from that view.

These are from upstairs in the guest bedroom taken through the window.

In this one you can see it getting stronger on

that side.

Go Outside and Look Up...right now!

2006-04-02T00:27:00.000-05:00

It's so beautiful outside. There are so many stars out. I'm so glad I don't live in a big city. Though, it'd be awesome to go to the middle of nowhere and see the stars then. Away from the lights of downtown, there would be tons of stars then. Hehe. I missed the warm weather, Kevin and I would go to our rock and lay back and look up at the stars. :-) I wished on shooting stars. It was great. I'm so glad it's getting warm again!

Tonight was wonderful :-) I really wanted it to never end.

P.S. I saw Jessie last night!!! :-D Yay. And Isreal and Jason. He has the prettiest blue eyes. Wow. Hehe.

Blast from the Past

2006-04-01T15:15:00.000-05:00

I was cleaning out the drawer in my desk, and I found a letter I wrote to myself at the end of my sophomore year in high school. My english teacher had us write letters to ourselves and she told us she would send us to them when we graduated. And she actually did. I had forgotten about it. It really made me laugh.

"May 29, 2003

Dear Future Taylor,
Hey gurl, what up! Mrs. Harris is having us write this, in case you forgot. This is our last day of sophomore year. Right now your boyfriend is Sean...remember him? Lol. The freshman with the green scarf.

Happenings this year:

Broke up with Brandon :-)
Was double trouble with Amanda Houser :-P
We out and broke up with Josh and Dan
Went out with Sean
Amanda is moving
No exams
Still have braces
Was annoyed in bio by Andy, Tony, Josh, and Larry
Met Jillian :-)
Met Megan Murphy :-)
Twins with Amanda Houser
Dan's suprise birthday party
Went to prom with Matt
Graham and I got into a fight (arguement), then just recently resolved it
Amanda liked "cutie"
Confused Jillian
Movies with our little movie bunch (Me, Amanda, Dan, Cammie, Ornela, Doug)
Suffered with Ornela through French II
Went to the Cascades and Ornela and Dan fell!

Oh, and we can't forget about what Amanda and I did to Pauline on her birthday! ;-)

I really hope you are happy and with somone great!!!

Love ya,

Taylor"

Well, that was it. Haha. Let's see...Brandon was this guy I dated most of my freshman year and into part of my sophomore year. He was a jerk. I won't get into it, we'll be here all day. The whole double trouble thing with Amanda goes with being her twin too. At our high school they have spirit week the week of homecoming, and one of the days is to be someone else's twin. That year I was twins with Amanda. We made t-shirts. They said "double trouble" on the back, and on the front it said "2x the fun" and then we each had a number on the back of our shirt that when we stood together it said "20-02"...since it was the year 2002, if you couldn't figure that out. Hehe. It was great :-D Dating Josh was just...I don't know, it was right after Brandon, I suppose he was more of a rebound than anything else. Dan had a crush on me for a while, and I gave him a chance, and that didn't work out at all. It lasted less than a week, he's just more like my brother, so it was too weird. Sean...it didn't last too long, we didn't see eachother at all...and it was before he went all...like he is now. Amanda moved that summer to New Orleans. :-( I got good enough grades to get out of all of my final exams. I of course still had my braces. I didn't get them off until the beginning of my senior year. Ugh. I sat with Andy, Tony, Josh, and Larry in biology. They liked to tease me. *shrugs* Jillian came back to America! We befriended eachother. Haha. I met Megan Murphy too. She didn't stay in Blacksburg too long. Amanda and I threw Dan a suprise party. We got all this pink stuff, because we always teased him about hanging out with all girls all the time. Hahaha. Matt asked me to Prom, and I went with him. Not such the best time in the world. Graham had asked me out earlier in the year, and I said no, and then I started dating Josh. He was all, JOSH IS SHALLOW!!! And wrote me some pretty rude things, and I got mad, and we didn't speak to eachother until the end of the year. "Cutie" actually was my current boyfriend...aka...Kevin. Hehe. She had a crush on him (she might actually get mad at me for writting about this, but it was like YEARS ago). I don't know what I confused Jillian about. Haha. Um...the movie bunch thing, we just saw movies a lot. Haha. French II was actually probably my best year in french. But it still sucked. So glad that's over. And Dan and Ornela falling...haha, poor kids. We went there to take pictures of flowers for biology. They were okay though, I think there might have been a few scrapes and bruises. Then that whole birthday thing, Amanda and I filled Pauline's locker with that pink ribbon stuff and hid one of those candles that play "happy birthday" over and over so she couldn't find it to turn it off. Then we went to each of her class rooms and put a balloon and a happy birthday note at her desk. (well, we asked her teachers in her later classes to put it on her desk for us) It was pretty funny, because she hated acknowledgement of her birthday. Though I think she appreciated the thought. Too bad she likes to just throw away friends now.

Sorry if this was boring...but I'm bored. Kevin had been at work for like 6 hours now, and I have nothing else to do. Haha.

April Fool's Day

2006-04-01T11:04:00.000-05:00

More commonly known as...April 1st. I have no jokes planned for today. When I was younger, I'd listen to Q99's (local Roanoke radio station) jokes. They were pretty good. Like, one year they said that they were going to stop calling girl scout cookies by that name, since it's politically incorrect, or something. Instead, they would call them "People cookies." They always get tons of calls for it. Haha...it's really rather great. A few years ago, my boyfriend (ex now) and I decided to play on a joke of one of my friends, Pauline (we are no longer speaking, but not because of the joke, but because she's judgmental and jumps to conclusions too quickly). She seemed to live for our relationship for some reason. So, we decided to break up...as a joke toward her. The day before, we were all in a chat room online, and Nic breaks up with me. I act all stunned and torn up. The next day (april fool's) Pauline finds me "crying" on Graham's shoulder. Then, unexpecting Pauline spots Nic up where we sit, confused she looks at him, and he's all "April Fools!" (I thought we'd drag it out longer, but I guess he just didn't like being broken up with me, hehe *shrugs*) She was pretty mad, but got over it. Haha. It was great. I guess you'd had to of known the situation to think it was funny. But it was. Trust me, Hehe.

iPod Nano Ordered!!! :-D

2006-03-31T14:09:00.000-05:00

I can't wait to get it! On the back is engraved "Taylor Tot/Build Me Up ButterCupp." Hopefully Kevin and I don't break up, because that would suck to have that on there. Hehe. But I am pretty sure we won't, so...yay! :-D Hehe. Oh, and it's white, and it's 4GB. Kevin ordered it for me yesterday, and it shipped today! I should get it by Wednesday. *waits very impatiently* The bad thing is I have to sit around and wait for it to show up because it requires signature. Ughedness!

Anyway, yesterday I had a chem test. I thought I did pretty good. :-) Yay! Then Kevin and I went to work. I ended up going to Sharky's with Graham. Kevin met up with us so I could give him a check so he could order my ipod for me! :-) Then I went to work, and then home. I made dinner! I made Manicotti with Three Cheeses. Yum! My dad really liked it, and my brother ate a lot of it, so i guess he liked it too. Then I went to Wendy's with Kevin and got a frosty, and went to his house and watched the thursday night line up on NBC. :-)

I didn't have class today! :-D Yay, so i've just been here at work.

Top 10

2006-03-28T20:04:00.000-05:00

Theme: 21st century, songs from the last 6 years

Lisa -- "Because of You" -- She sounds horrible. Very out of tune. OUCH.

Kelly -- "Suds in the Bucket" -- She sounds good. But I don't want another country singing idol. I don't like country music.

Ace -- "Drops of Jupiter" -- Sounds horrible, i love this song, but he ruins it. He always ruins the songs. Ugh. MAKE HIM GO AWAY! DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM!
Taylor: ewww, he sucks, gosh
Kevin: ew
Taylor: MAKE HIM SHUT UP!
Kevin: there's a button that says "mute" on your remote, that turns off the sound, press it
Taylor: haha
(haha, silly boy)

Taylor -- "Trouble" -- He sang it well. I don't know about the song itself though. *shrugs*

Mandisa -- "Wanna Praise You" -- She did really well. :-) GO MANDIVA! :-)

Chris -- "What If" -- I thought it was pretty good. Not too sure I loved the song.

Katharine -- "The Voice Within" -- First off, what is she wearing??? There were a few iffy notes, other than that, it was pretty good.

Bucky -- "Real Goodman" -- ugh, I'm tired of country! Do they not realize there is a country version of American Idol??? TRY OUT FOR THAT ONE!

Paris -- "Work it Out" -- She sang it okay, dancing was fun, hair is horrible, i didn't car for the song.

Elliott -- "I Don't Wanna Be" -- He's making me sea-sick. But he did it really well. I liked it!

New Toy!!!

2006-03-28T17:27:00.000-05:00

On our way home Saturday, Kevin and I stopped at Tyson's Corner. I got an i-dog. :-) He's lots of fun. I'm enjoying him. His name is Noah Kevin. hehe.

It sucks...the past few nights of sleep haven't been very good. Which makes me tired throughout the day. Which makes me not go to work. Which makes Kevin think I'm irresponsible.

I'd really like summer to be here already.

DC Adventure: Day 3

2006-03-24T19:40:00.000-05:00

Well...our last and final day started out a bit disappointing. We got up for breakfast and ate it here. We went out to the metro, and it took three times as long to get there because of a lot of traffic headed toward Springfield. Then we went to Washington Monument, but they were already out of tickets. We went to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing but they were sold out of tickets too. We continued on our walk that way to go to Jefferson Memorial. We saw the cherry blossoms, but they wern't really in bloom yet. They are suppose to be in full bloom Monday. We walked around the water to the FDR Memorial. I really liked it the last time we were there, but the water wasn't running. That was sad. The time we were there it was night, and really pretty. And quite romantic I have to admit. Too bad we were only 13. We didn't appreciate it. We were tired of walking and were hungry, so we got food to eat. Very expensive. Then we headed over to the Air and Space Museum and saw "Infinity Express" in the planetarium and "Roving Mars" at the IMAX theater. They were neat. Then we went home. We were tired. We wanted to go to Tyson's but there just wasn't any time. Maybe we'll go tomorrow. But tomorrow is sleeping. Hehe.

DC Adventure: Day 2

2006-03-23T20:10:00.000-05:00

We started out the morning with breakfast here. My grandma took us to the metro station and we were off. We got off at the Arlington Cemetery. We saw JFK's Eternal Flame and went up to the Arlington House. It is really neat how they have the graves arranged. My grandparents said if there is still room, they'll be barried there. (My grandfather was a commander in the Navy.) Kevin took lots of pictures. Then we tried going to see the cherry blossoms the way the map said, but it didn't work. And it was scary, because we went under a bridge and there was like a homeless person's "house" there. It made me really nervous. Maybe it shouldn't have, but it did. :-/ We decided to forget trying to get there from there and go see the memorials. We went to most of them around there. We went up to the washington monument, then over to the fence of the White house, we saw the new WWII memorial. That was pretty, but I wish the water had been in the pond thingy, that would have made it prettier. Then we walked down the reflecting pool, Kevin kept pretending to push me in, goshhhh! Haha, then we saw the vietna m memorial. In 8th grade Civics we had to write a paper about one of the people on that wall. We went on a site and chose one person, saw the information about them, and we could make up a story or write a factual story. I looked up for someone with my last name, but there are too many "White's," so instead I looked up my mom's maiden name, "Maccubbin." None of those, so I looked up my grandma's maiden name, "Klinger." I got Henry Chester Klinger. I wrote a pretty good paper. If I think about it and have the time, I might post it on here. I thought it was pretty good for a thirteen year old. I should find it. Anyway, then we went up to the lincoln memorial. And then around to the Korean War Memorial. Then we were too tired to walk over Jefferson Memorial, and we were really hungry. We hadn't eatten since 9:30 and it was near 3. We tried going to one cafeteria thingy, but it closed at three. So I got some pizza and then we went to the air and space museum so Kevin could get some Mickey D's and we watched another IMAX movie. It was "Walking on the Moon." It was pretty neat, but we were in there with a bunch of kids, so...that was kind of annoying when they were trying to reach for the 3D things coming "out of the screen." We came back here after that because we were really tired. We ate dinner and have been watching tv. It's nice sitting down. :-)

DC Adventure: Day 1

2006-03-22T20:59:00.000-05:00

I woke up early. About 6ish. Because the sun was shining right through my window and I can't sleep when it's bright. I just layed there for a bit, and then took a shower. I got ready and finally was able to wake up the sleepy head Kevin. Hehe. My grandma took us out to a local coffee shop. I got a hot chocolate and a bagel. Kevin got his vanilla latte and a sandwich. Then she took us over to the metro station and we were off. The metro was fine. Check out Kevin's moblog for pics. I have a link down there. It's under "My Man's Pics." Hehe. He took some really good pictures. Anyway, we went to the National Museum of American History first. Looked a some things around there. It's the museum with archie bunker's chair, the ruby slippers from Wizard of Oz, and it had some Ray Charles stuff. Oh, and it had a really nice section called "The Price of Freedom: Americans at War." It was all about the wars and everything. They had a piece of metal from the South Tower of the Trade Center there too. Then we went next door to the National Museum o f Natural History. We got tickets for an IMAX movie "Aliens of the Deep." We looked around the museum some and got a little snack before we saw the movie. It was pretty cool. It was 3D, but sometimes that really hurt my eyes. So, it took away from it some. Then we went over to the Air and Space Museum. We looked around there. We got lunch there. And then we walked over to the capitol so Kevin could take pictures of it. We tried to go to the Botanic Gardens (or whatever it was called) but when we walked in the guy said it was going to close in four minutes. So we just went home. My back was hurting, and we were both really tired. The ride home was a little crowded, but we got seats before the crowds. (it was rush hour) We got home and ate and had yummy brownies. And now we're watching Idol!

Greetings From Your Nation's Capitol...or the Capitol of the USA, depending on where you're from :-P

2006-03-22T08:09:00.000-05:00

Kevin and I got up here just fine. It rained a bit in Christiansburg, but it was pretty much dry all the way up until near Staunton. It misted it a bit there. And a bit more north we got some snow flurries. But just a tad. So it wasn't bad at all. We stopped in Woodstock for lunch. About 5 or so years ago in Woodstock, VA we got back together for the last time. Well...back then anyway. We were coming home from the 8th grade DC trip :-P. Hehe. We spent a lot of time together on that trip. The only parts of that trip I really remember were him. And some awesome ice drink thing I got in the Museum of Art. Hehe. My grandfather took us down to the metro and explained stuff. I've used a metro before, so I thought it kind of silly. But, I know it's the first time we've been on the metro without an elder with us, so I let him do his whole speal. Hehe. I haven't been on the metro in a while though. A few years.

Today Kevin and I are going to explore around the Smithsonian a bit I think. My grandma is taking us to breakfast, and then taking us to the metro station so that we won't have to park there, since parking is a pain.

stay tuned! hehe

Top ELEVEN!!!

2006-03-21T20:03:00.000-05:00

Theme ---> Barry Manilow--Back to the 50's

Mandisa -- "I don't hurt anymore"
Her hair is pretty. I didn't really like the song. I don't know it, that might be why, but I didn't enjoy it. Her singing was pretty good though.

Bucky -- "Oh Boy"
I didn't like the song. I didn't like the way he sang it. I think this will get him kicked off. :-( But I really enjoyed the mic twirl at the end. *agrees with Simon* (He thought it was a so what preformance, a karaoke preformance)

Paris -- "Fever" (GOOD SONG!)
I really enjoyed that. I like that song, so...yay. I can't believe she's 17. So yay! Again, haha. I like that dress too.

Chris -- "I Walk the Line"
I liked it. He rocked it out man...hehe.

Katharine -- "Rain or Shine"
It was really good. I didn't like the last note though. Cute dress.

Taylor -- "Fade Away"
His dance moves are so random, it's funny. Hehe. I'm not sure if I liked the vocals all that much, but I enjoyed the over all performance.

Lisa -- "Why Do Fools Fall In Love"
It was okay. I felt it lacked a certain presence in it. I don't know. It was just okay.

Kevin -- "When I Fall in Love"
I enjoyed it. I liked how he looked like he was in a musical, and walking along in a park with his hand in his pocket. That's what I saw anyway. I liked it! :-)

Elliott -- "Teach Me Tonight"
I didn't really care for it. It got a little better by the end though. It was "eh"

Kellie -- "Walkin' After Midnight"
I really like her outfit, I don't like her make-up. I really like that song, and she did it well.

Ace -- "In The Still of the Night"
MAKE HIM SHUT UP! I didn't like that at all. Ugh. Make him go away.

It's been a while...

2006-03-20T18:53:00.000-05:00

Usually I update everyday. Wow. But no one reads this but Kevin, so...it's okay.

Yesterday I went over to Kevin's. We went to Macado's for some yummy dessert that we missed out getting the night before because Gordon came home late again, and I wasn't able to leave their house until later, so I was too tired to go. But that night was 6 months for Kevin and I!! :-) A whole half of a year! Hehe. Then we went back to his house and watched Pearl Harbor, it's a good story. When it got to the bad part (I mean the actual attack), I curled up with him on his chair. Then we went to Cracker Barrell for some food, and then over to wally world. I was beginning to get really tired at that point. But we went back to his house and watched some mandy moore videos (you're not gay, sweetie ;-)) and family guy. Then I went home and crashed.

Tomorrow we're suppose to leave for DC!!! Hopefully that will happen. Stupid winter weather, doesn't mother nature know it's now spring!?

Oh, happy spring by the way! Haha.

Remember those songs you use to love?

2006-03-16T20:58:00.000-05:00

So I am watching "American Inventor," a new show on ABC. And Evan from "Evan and Jaron" who sang "Crazy for this girl" had a random invention, I wasn't even paying attention, but they played the song that they sang. And I use to love that song. I would listen to it wishing that someone actually felt that way about me. I would wish and hope that someone would think to dedicate it to me over the radio one night. Haha, I have crazy unrealistic daydreams sometime. Anyway, i opened up my iTunes and listened to it again. :-)

She rolls the window down
And she
Talks over the sound
Of the cars that pass us by
And I don’t know why
But she’s changed my mind

Chorus:Would you look at her
She looks at me
She’s got me thinking about her constantly
But she don’t know how I feel
And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she’s figured out
I’m crazy for this girl

She was the one to hold me
The night
The sky fell down
And what was I thinking when
The world didn’t end
Why didn’t I know what I know now

Chorus

Right now
Face to face
All my fears
Pushed aside
And right now
I’m ready to spend the rest of my life
With you

Chorus 2x

Results!!!

2006-03-15T21:22:00.000-05:00

Bottom Three: Ace (yay!!!!), Melissa (yay!!!!!!!!!!!!), Lisa (oh...wow)

And...BYE BYE MELISSA!!! YAY! cute top though...

Top 12 -- My thoughts in real time...as the show is on!!!

2006-03-14T20:05:00.000-05:00

First off, I heart what Kelly is wearing tonight! haha.

The theme tonight ---> Stevie Wonder

The night starts out with....Ace: "I do I do"
No no no no. What is he doing? *shakes head* It sounds awful. Randy says it was "aight"...Paula thinks it was fantastic...Simon thinks the audience is easily pleased, haha, he agreed with Randy, said it was "a bit manic" haha

Next up we have...Kelly: "Blame it on the Sun"
It was kinda boring, but I liked it. Randy, "It didn't work for me, but I love the shoes!" Kelly, "Thank you! I got them on sale!" Paula, "A little too safe." Simon, "Everything went wrong tonight." "It was boring." "It looks like you went to Dolly Parton school with the way you look tonight." "Your worst preformace so far." Kelly, "I'm sorry!"

Now we have...Elliott: "Knocks Me Off My Feet."
It was okay, I wasn't thrilled with it. I like his hair cut. Randy, "It was good, it was good, it was good." Paula, "I love your passion, I think you're an amazing singer." Simon, "best so far, but no wow factor."

YAY!!! ....Mandisa: "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing"
Barefoot Mandisa! Haha, a little low in the beginning, but it's sounding great! I'm not worried about her! ;-) Hehe. Yes, I made a funny. :-P *claps* That was great! Randy, "You were amazing last week, this wasn't as great as last week." "You're the best so far." Paula, "You can sing anything!" Simon, "Now we have a competition! Best so far."

And now...Bucky: "Superstition"
He's sounding really good! Though his hair makes him look like a blonde Ace. Randy, "Right choice for you." "I really enjoyed it, dude, I actually really enjoyed it!" Paula, "i actually enjoyed hearing you singing stevie wonder too, i wish you had gotten out of your comfort zone a little though." Simon, "I thought it was one of your best performances so far, but we've got to talk about this Jessica Simpson hair style..."

Next is...Melissa: "Lately"
Eww...ew...ew...I've never really liked her. Goodbye. Randy, "You forgot the lyrics in front of stevie, and now..." "You definately have pipes, you can sing." Paula, "You should wear dresses more often, when you open your mouth to sing it's definately very refreshing." Simon, "In my opinion, that was your best performance so far." Hmm...maybe it's just because I don't like her that much.

annnndddd....Lisa: "Signed, Sealed, Delivered"
I like her hair straight. I think I've said that before. It sounds good, but it misses what Simon calls a "wow" factor. Fantasia did this song really well last season. Randy, "The hottest part of that song really was the end, during the middle of the song I was kinda getting bored." Paula, "You were a little nervous tonight, I could tell." "When you took those chances, that is the Lisa that I love." Simon, "You took control of the stage." "It was great, I loved it."

Chicken Little's twin!!!....Kevin Covais: "Part Time Lover"
Yay! He sounds really great. Though he looked like he was marching there at first, he was getting his toe up! Doc would be proud ;-) haha. I'm really enjoying this. *claps* Yay! Randy *chuckles* "Dude, man, dude, listen listen, I love you man!" "Dude, you're wearing make up!" Paula, "Way to go!" Simon, "This was the point in the show where Stevie Wonder turns down the volume, it was appauling." Kevin, "it's okay, I wasn't expecting much from you anyway."

Now a little....Katharine: "Until You Come Back to Me"
I don't like her dress, I'd like it if you cut off the bottom, and had it like a shirt. I thought it was pretty good. A bit boring at first, but I got into it. Randy, "America she's back." "Dude, you're the bomb!" Paula, "Tonight was your best performance ever." Simon, "Katharine, you're good." "There is something that is reminding me, vocally, of Kelly Clarkson."

How about some....Taylor: "Livin' for the City"
This guy can really sing. I like how he looks like he really enjoys singing it, he really gets into it. Yay Taylor! :-) Randy, "That was a hot performance, you were fearless!" Paula, "You are such a fun performer and you have so much passion, this is just what you need to be doing to make everyone happy the rest of your life." Simon, "You're like every dad who get's drunk at a wedding." "The difference is you can sing."

And then some...Paris: "All I Do"
I can't believe she's so young. She sounds really great! I love her shoes! Randy, "You're unbelievable tonight." Paula, "You could teach a lot of performers how to do it out there." Simon, "You're so confident, you're like a performing little doll, wind her up and there you go."

Last but not least...Chris: "Higher Ground"
I like the energy the stage has got going on. It was really good! :-) I makes me miss Bo, though. :-( Randy, "Dude you worked it out, baby you worked it out!" Paula, "I never worry, I just sit back and enjoy, you're fantastic." Simon, "Chris. Thank god for Chris." "I actually could imagine you having a hit with that record." "Best tonight by a mile."

Blast from the Past

<---That thing is so scary, especially when your boyfriend is trying to kill you! Haha, but I had a blast with him tonight :-)

So, Kevin and I visited our rock tonight. He wrapped his arms around me and we looked at the stars and just sat there together. :-) It was perfect. I kept thinking how wonderful it felt to be in his arms, and how I wanted to stay there forever. It felt like home :-)

Feels Like Home
There's something in your eyes
Makes me wanna lose my self,
Makes me wanna lose myself in your heart,
There's something in your voice
That makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts
For the rest of my life
If you knew how lonely
My life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks down on lumdard street
And a siren rings in the night
But I'm all right cuz I have you here with me,
And I can almost see through the dark there is light
Well if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong.

I heard it in How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days. I really like that movie. Call me a girl, but I love chick flicks! :-) Hehe.

I'm in love...hehe

2006-03-12T00:59:00.000-05:00

So...last night ---> wonderful, tonight ---> fantastic! :-D I'm so in love with Kevin. :-)

Oh, and my mom got me this really pretty ring off ebay! Though it's a size 7...:-/ Oh well.

After this week...SPRING BREAK! :-D

nighty night

Tell me it's the real thing

2006-03-09T21:50:00.000-05:00

The Inn at Virginia Tech!
So...my day started out early. I woke up at about 6, got ready and waited on my mom to finish getting ready. Then we went over to the Inn. Dawn was there! She's been in Richmond, so I haven't seen much of her in a while. So I helped my mom, and Patsy, and Dawn, and some guy who couldn't figure out how to put the string onto the name tag. Hehe, he came up to me and said, "Can I ask you a technical question?" And I was like, great, I don't know technical things, I'm going to look stupid, but it was as easy as sticking a piece of metal through a hole! Hehe. My mom left and I stayed with Dawn. We went down and got some food. I had a very tastey muffin :-P and she took me back over to my car which was at work. I waited a little while, and Kevin wasn't showing up, so I just called him out of me being very impatient. Haha, turns out he forgot to set his alarm, and he had just woken up. So I picked him up at his house so he could get ready and not have to worry about meeting me. We got to class right on time. Class was okay. He freaked out because he was ahead of his syllabus...haha. Oh...I had chemistry today, that's with Adcock. Oh, and there is this big thing about teachers, administration, and some students kissing a pig to raise money. It's weird. Haha. I was thinking of signing up Kevin...but then I'd have to kiss him eventually after he kissed that pig, so I don't think I'd do that. Hehe. After class we went to KFC, then I took him to work and I went to work. I did the mail for Mary and entered a heck of a lot of people, then I went and got Kevin, took him home, then I went home. When my parents got home, there was nothing to eat, so the three of us went to Outback. Then we came home and watched idol.

NO MORE WILL!!!! :-( gosh

all others who got kicked off I am perfectly happy with, they were Gedeon, Kinnik, and Alya. I would have preferred Melissa kicked off before Alya, but I'm glad Alya is gone, especially since she apparently reminds Kevin of his ex. We don't need that, now do we? nooo

so, that's all I have for ya now.

*listens to Transatlanticism* It's putting me to sleep! But it's a good song. :-)

AMERICAN IDOL MEN!

2006-03-08T21:01:00.000-05:00

Gedeon -- I want him gone. K? Thanks. I felt like the man slightly had an infatuation for the woman...I didn't feel that the man loved the woman...so...eh. (He sang "When A Man Loves a Woman")
Chris -- I like this song. Let's see how he sings it...I love it!!! (1-866-IDOLS-02)
KEVIN! -- haha, can you imagine that very white boy rapping? haha...I'm afraid this song won't keep him in the show :-( I'll miss him. BUT VOTE! (1-866-IDOLS-03) but I did love the song!
Bucky -- I'm not all into country...so...eh...
Will -- yay! i heart him! VOTE!!! (1-866-IDOLS-05)
Taylor -- He's awesome man!!! :-D (1-866-IDOLS-06)
Elliott -- Fantastic! Vote for him too! (1-866-IDOLS-07)
Ace -- I don't care for him. *shrugs*

AMERICAN IDOL WOMEN!

2006-03-07T20:03:00.000-05:00

The night starts out with the lovely young lady Paris Bennett. I really liked what she did. I love what she's wearing!!! :-) (1-866-IDOLS-01) Lisa Tucker, another one of my favorites. Ooo, straight hair tonight, it's really pretty. I really like what she's wearing to. Wow, she's good. Both Paris and her are so young! But really good. Lisa's number is 1-866-IDOLS-02. (she's choosing songs that seems like her mum is choosing them, hehe, I heart Simon's accent) Melissa McGhee...I don't want her to go into the top 10. I don't like what's she's wearing. I don't like her. NO...NO...no. And I don't want my boyfriend to watch her because she's way too skankly dressed! So she sould not continue on. RIGHT ON SIMON! (He says that she just booked her flight ticket home) I'm not giving you her number. She's gone this week. FINALLY. Kinnik Sky up next, I want her gone too. But I might have a change of heart. We'll see. Nope, she sucked. BYE BYE! I'm not giving you her number either. Katharine McPhee - good, not fabulous, but good. The end was a little...eh...but it was good. I'll give you her number - 1-866-IDOLS-05. Alya Brown - I thought it was good. 1-866-IDOLS-06. Mandisa - she's really good! I enjoy her a lot. 1-866-IDOLS-07. BENCHMARK SWEET! Kelly Pickler - I liked it. :-) 1-866-IDOLS-08

Kicked off --->Melissa and Kinnik

TOP 6 ---> Paris, Lisa, Katharine, Alya, Mandisa, and the very blonde Kelly
(top 5 should be all but Alya, I wouldn't mind her gone either)

memories, all alone in the moonlight sings like summer in School of Rock

2006-03-07T13:45:00.000-05:00

So for some reason today I thought about that "middle-school crush feeling." The feeling you get when you're in middle school, and you have a big crush, and your friend asks your crush if he'll be your boyfriend? That feeling. Haha...

...I don't know why these things pop in my head. Anyway, it reminded me of the first time I asked out Kevin. WAYYYY back in 7th grade (at the end). I had liked him sorta for a while. I had planned on asking him out after one of those middle school dances. We danced together, like..you know...far apart, but then the second time we danced, Elaine pushed us together. Hehe. I liked being with him. BUT turns out he had a girlfriend. A very possessive short girlfriend. Haha, so that changed that. But when I did get around to finally asking...I had Devon do the honors. We were all standing around out in the hall. Kevin was sitting in math class, or something, i'm not sure. And Devon was like, I'll go do it!!! And then that feeling came. The omg-I'm-going-to-throw-up-I-have-to-hide-right-now-feeling. But as much as you are afraid of rejection, you always have that small glimmer of hope that as soon as your friend gets back, she's beaming from ear to ear and saying yes. And then you get that omg-I-totally-have-a-boyfriend-feeling. Hehe. I have no idea why he said yes that day, but I'm glad we did. I had fun with him in 8th grade. Yeah we broke up lots...cause of me...but...when we were together it was great. :-) Throughout high school I always missed those days. Everything was a lot simpler.

I'm glad we found eachother again! :-D

edit:Kevin,"hehe i was actually at my locker, devon came up to me and was all, "if taylor asked you out, would you say yes?" i was all, "yeah" so she went, told you, came back, the asked me out for you"

p.s. comments please

Just sittin waiting for the Kev-miester...

2006-03-06T15:04:00.000-05:00

Hey you all...what's up? My lab was cancelled today. So I'm waiting around for Kevin to finish up his lab. Joy...hehe.

What's with this leaving no comments, huh? First of all, I have a counter that tells me how many people look at this thing. So...it's been a 17o-something since I got it, and I know half of that is Kevin ;-) but still, I get like one comment a month. How do you think that makes me feel? Yeah, so...if you could just say hey or something, or even be like "i don't comment because your posts suck" that'd be great. Atleast I'd be getting a comment! So......yeah. Thanks.

Kevin and I watched "Yours, Mine, and Ours" today while waiting for lab to come around. It's actually a pretty sweet movie. I teared up just a smidge at the end. But we knew they'd become friends trying to break their parents up. That was obvious, but it was still sweet. Like when that Nick guy hits on Christina, and Nick is with Phoebe, and Christina thought Nick was cute and all before, but she was all, "NO WAY, i wouldn't do that to my sister." And I thought, aww.

Last night Kevin and I went to Taco Bell for dinner. It was nice to get out of the house, especially with him. I was so tired of writing that paper. Even though I really only wrote half of it since I just expanded one of my other papers and made it so it fit into my "question." Hopefully I'll get another 100! :-)

sorry with all the links, but it's keeping me from boredum!

oh, p.s. I'm going to get an ipod nano! :-)

Long time me no write...

2006-03-05T22:48:00.000-05:00

*watches academy awards*

so, tomorrow is monday, doesn't that just blow? haha

this weekend has been fun. my wonderful kevin and i have spent lots of time together and it's been wonderful. :-)

oh, I saw Jessie's new son! He's so adorable! You look at him and you just have to smile. But for some reason, i just can't hold babies. Like the really new ones. (he was two days old when i saw him, he's four days old now, haha) But I just won't hold them. I'm weird, I wonder what I'll do when I have one. I'll be like..."aw so cute, what hold it? no thanks, just put it right there were i can look at it, thanks!" I'm so weird.

I'm just trying to matter too.

nighty night all.

So Happy Together

2006-03-02T23:15:00.000-05:00

GO KEVIN COVAIS!!! I can't believe he was in the bottom three!!! (it's cause I forgot to vote last night :-/)

So...I was 2 for 4 again. Brenna, Heather, David, and Sway were all booted off Idol. totally fine with me! :-)

Kevin went to wally world and got the picture of me and him from valentine's day printed. Yay! I love that guy. :-) Hehe. That was my suprise for today. Went took our tests and then went to work. Before that we walked from my work over to KFC and got some food. Then I did the whole work thing. I did the mail and entered a bunch of stuff. I've been doing good there this week. I've actually been getting work done, yay me! Hehe.

Then I went home just before 5, and waited like years for my parents to come home. They finally did and we dropped off Mac at the HS and went to Macados. Then we went to Mill Mountain for hot chocolate, then we went back to the HS to see the concert. We saw the last two songs. Haha. I got to see everyone, which made me happy. But I never saw Stu. :-( Oh well. CASEY DOESN'T HAVE HAIR...well, okay, he does...but not as much, haha. Then we came home and watched the recorded Idol, and then the Office, and now whatever is on the TV right now that I haven't been paying attention to. Haha. (p.s. I loved getting like a bajillion hugs today :-) and i'm glad everyone likes my hair! :-)) Oh! and I talked to Dave. he was like, you better practice your trombone!!!! Haha.

TOMORROW IS FRIDAY! :-)

I've looked around enough to know, that you're the one I want to go through time with

2006-03-01T13:03:00.000-05:00

So today --- fantastic...Kevin is so wonderful. He made me Taylor's "I like it" CD. It has lots of my favorite songs on it. He's sooooo great! :-) AND, since I don't have a cd player in my car, he gave me a tape of the same cd so I can listen to it in my car. I love it! :-) And today is so warm, I love warm weather. So...today = perfect

So today was pretty good. Chem wasn't too bad. I got to work, and Joanne catches me and gives me three programs to enter......yay....heh...so I'm like, okay...so I'm sitting there entering, and Nancy comes to me. She gives me her program to enter, and she needs it to be entered because it next weekend too, just like the other programs. Not only do all of these have to be entered, but all the confirmation letters I have to send out, all have maps to go with them. So, I got to work at 11:30ish, I didn't leave until about 5:30. Ahhh. Oh well, can someone say "$$$!!!" Hehe, which is good, cause then I can go crazy in DC! :-) I can't wait. Kevin stopped by my work to see me. :-) He's the best ever, and after he left, I could hardly focus. But I managed to get everything finished! :-D Yay.

American Idol tonight, stay tuned for my thoughts! Hehe.

Girls tonight! -- Katharine McPhee (some shakey high notes...not blown away, I didn't hate it either...we'll see), Kinnik Sky (I love the song she sang ("Here for the party" - Gretchen Wilson) but she didn't do it justice...I didn't like it at all, ugh), Lisa Tucker (she sang the song really well, but it was just really boring...), Melissa McGhee (all I can do is shrug...*shrugs*...her voice seemed to lack excitment (haha, the judges liked her voice)...I don't know, I didn't enjoy it all that much), Heather Cox (the beginning lacked passion, got a bit better, wasn't blown away), Brenna Gethers (It was alright, she didn't earn my vote though), Paris Bennett (*writes this before she sings* I heart her a lot, I hope she does good!!! -- *writes this after she sings* i love that song, but it wasn't incredible...), Alya Brown (the sweaty basketball player...she had a few notes that made me whince, and I didn't like her head moving all jerky like it was, but it was still pretty good), Kelly Pickler (finally something upbeat and exciting! I enjoyed it, she's got my vote!), Mandisa (got the one name goin' on like Madonna or somethin'...haha...I liked it, hit one note that made me whince, and I saw Brenna shaking her head up in the balcony and it made me want to yell at her, but other than that, I really liked it *votes*)

Voting for: Lisa Tucker (1-866-IDOLS-03), Paris Bennett (1-866-IDOLS-07), Alya Brown (1-866-IDOLS-08), Kelly Pickler (1-866-IDOLS-09), Mandisa (1-866-IDOLS-10)

Least votes: I still want Kinnik Sky and Melissa McGhee off...atleast I got Stevie gone, haha.

note: Can I just say that Simon and Paula seem like an old married couple? Haha, they bicker so much, they totally love eachother, they just won't admit it!

Monday monday...sing songy voice like the beatles...I think

2006-02-27T15:40:00.000-05:00

Aw....he's so cute! *points to picture*

Hey ya'll...I've lived in the south my entire life, and yet I don't say "ya'll." I say "you guys." Isn't that kind of northern? EEK! Hahaha...I love Virginia. I have a great boyfriend, and he makes me feel happy and smiley. Kevin and I came down here to Dublin (oh, I'm in dublin right now...btw...for your information...haha) and we went to our classes. Afterward, we went down to the...gosh, what is that room called...ah! The lounge. Yes, that's where we went. And we watched "Wedding Crashers." Yay us. It's a really funny movie, even if I don't laugh...*shrugs* Then we went to lab, I had to run back to my car to get my lab binder that I had forgotten. Good thing I drove today! So I get to lab, and I read over the lab. And Adcock talks about it, and he did the first part for us, and the sugar solutions were just giving him crap, which was really funny. Then he had some volunteers go up to the front. Now, I do not volunteer unless I am really comfortable with the teacher...otherwise I am quiet as can be and hide when help is asked for. Like...I would volunteer for Decker, because I managed to get him wrapped around my little finger in freshman year with my spectacular grades in that class. So when I had him junior year again...no problem. Haha. But he was still a complete bitch when it came to Dustin, Graham, Cammie and I sitting together. *rolls eyes* Anyway...where was I? Oh right, the thing Adcock did. (Don't you just love it when I just write whatever comes to my mind and nothing makes any sense what-so-ever?) Hehe...he had three girls and three boys go up to the front, and one girl and one boy would each hold on to a wire and then hold hands. Then the voltage meter would say their "love connection" (hardy-har-har not really). But it was funny. Apparently if you had drank lots of gatorage or salt water before doing that, you would have a higher voltage than if you were normal. So...if you want to make your significant other think you're really compatable on some silly little wire/voltage thing, go drink lots of gatorade before hand! Haha. Then we did the lab. We had three this time, so each of us did a section. I got stuck with the muddy water one. The least amount of work, but it was gross...it was mud. I don't like mud so much. Haha. Yes, I am girly. (This is where I would say "so sue me!" just for fun, but then my smart ass boyfriend (I LOVE YOU!) would say, "well actually, I don't think I can sue you for that.") Hehe

Anyway, we finished the lab pretty fast since each of us did a section, and then I saw Kevin was still in his lab, so I was all *looks at Kevin* and he came out and said they were icing something or another. So I came here until he finishes his lab. So that is what I am doing. Rambling on about nothing while I wait for my cutie pie! :-) (I have to make up for calling him a smart ass...) My mom would always say "better than being a dumb ass!"

Have a nice evening.

Fired off the apprentice tonight: Summer

Fun with my love!

2006-02-26T20:02:00.000-05:00

So...lets see...last night Kevin came and got me and we went to the park. We decided our rock would be too cold so we just walked around hand-in-hand. It's so scary at night! One time we were out there and he hid from me, I got sooo freaked out, I yelled...KEVIN! KEVIN! He loves to scare me. He sucks. hehe, kidding! Then we went to mill mountain in our pjs. People were staring at us. Haha. Kevin expressed, they're more staring at you because you have clouds and moons and stars on your pjs! But I thought he said clowns...so I was confused. (note: I find myself using "like" instead of "said" or something, and then I remember that annoys Rose, so I go back and change that just for her, because I love her, and since I said that, I think I deserve a comment please, because i never get comments and it makes me said, and this has been a really really really long sentence, but that's okay. Haha) Anyway...where was I? Oh right, Mill Mountain. We just sat around and talked and stuff, then i went home. Haha...ANYWAY!...today Kevin and I just hung around Christiansburg. Cause it's like the best place ever...*coughcough* haha...I got a solo book for trombone too get my lips back in shape for playing, since I have to audition for the MVs in the summer. It's disney songs! I'm really excited. My goal is to get good at all of them. We went around the mall, target, pier one, lowes, taco bell/pizza hut, wally world, tried to go to a few places that didn't work, went to the top of the mountain on the street DL and Kaitlyn live on, then we went to his house for a bit, and then I came home.

Have a nice last few hours of the weekend!

Goodnight.

I don't feel good...

2006-02-25T11:33:00.000-05:00

Ugh. I don't feel good...just like my title says. I felt fine all yesterday, and then I wake up today...and I feel horrible. Which sucks. Cause it's suppose to be really pretty out today, and all I want to do is sit here and do nothing. Which is probably what I'll end up doing.

Anyway, yesterday was pretty fun. I was in a fantastic mood. I took a quiz in math, I think I aced it. Though I'm getting into the logrithum part of the lesson. Eek! I didn't do so well on those in high school...and that means I didn't understand that part of Calc. Ohhhhhh well. Then Kevin and I came back to blacksburg, I went and got amanda and we went to the mall, tjmaxx, rack room shoes, and target. I took her to work, and I went home. I lazed around, then ate dinner and got ready to meet Kevin at WUVT. Then we went over to the Alumni Center thingy and saw Juxta. It was really good, I enjoyed it! :-) Kevin and I then went to his house and saw Garden State. It was good. A little while after that, I got really hungry...so we went to Macados for some Nachos Grande. Yum. I didn't know Macados was open that late! Anyway, we went back to his house, and he watched stuff, I fell asleep. Then I went home, and went straight to bed, where I slept until 11:15ish, and now I feel like shit.

:-(
