Doe! A deer! A female deer!

Tracy: Look! Deer!
Jaime: Yeah.
Tracy: Holy crap they're close.
Jaime: Yeah... they're used to us.
Tracy: You know what I've noticed?
Jaime: What.
Tracy: Deer have just enough tail to cover their butthole.
Jaime: What?
Tracy: Yeah...you know...their tails are always flipped down over their butthole...and there's just enough of it....not too much tail...not too little.
Jaime: O_o
Tracy: It's shaped like a leaf...like the ones in the Bible that covered Adam & Eve...but furry. Huh?? Haven't you noticed that!?
Jaime: Umm...I don't really look at that area when I look at deer...[laughs]
Tracy: How could you not? Don't you look at the WHOLE deer? I mean...you don't just look at their face...they're always moving around or something.
Jaime: Yeah...but I don't really turn my attention to their private parts...[laughs]
Tracy: I noticed that in the movie Bambi too.
Jaime: You're weird....[laughs]

South Beach Diet

I'm starting the South Beach Diet. There have been two people who I've heard of who've been successful with this diet and luckily it's not the kind that I'll have to be on forever. I want my figure skating body back. Where have those days gone?

Well, in the beginning of the year Marc and I had an agreement to be work-out buddies every Friday of the week, umm, well, that lasted for about a week.

I'm excited about this new gym membership I won! They have a ton of classes too but I think I'm just going to be signing up for a cardio class and a pilates class. I have no idea how my work schedule is going to be like this summer so I figure it's best to keep a lot of it open (work is ever changing).

Current Event: Now, don't you all go worrying about Gray Davis. He may not be working steady, but he is working. Have you guys all seen the new Yahoo commercial?

"Hi, I'm Gray Davis, I used to governor of California (laughs)...I search on Yahoo, I'm looking for an agent...One actor got to be governor, so maybe a former governor can go into acting...I don't think action-adventure would be my milieu, but who knows? Maybe... I gotta be positive."

I'm not the biggest Gray Davis supporter but I always thought he had the facial features of a genuinely nice person, but regarding this commercial can someone please tell me ..why.

How Do Ducks Float?

One afternoon while Jaime and I were driving back to school from the mall...

Tracy: It amazes me how can ducks float.

[contemplative silence]

Jaime: How DO ducks float?

Tracy: *shrug* I don't know. Just a random thought.

It was that same thought that led Jaime on a quest to find an answer and he kept asking me over and over until finally another afternoon 2 months later on a trip back from jamba juice...

Jaime: Tracy, guess what I found the answer to why ducks can float.

Tracy: Huh? Wait a minute. Oh my god you're still wondering about that?

Jaime: I know but I had to get Elvia to look it up.

Tracy: Okay, did you find the answer? How DO ducks float then?

Jaime: Alright, so basically there's like this special gland that produces oil back near the duck's tail and as the duck grooms itself, the oil is spread out over its feathers and coats them making them waterproof. HOWEVER, if you were to put a degreaser on the duck, it would remove the oil and the duck would drown in water! Therefore, making that Dawn commercial where they use the dishwashing liquid to clean the duck that was caught in the oil spill, cruelty to animals!!!

Tracy: ...

Tracy: But that commercial was so cute...

Jaime: Isn't that sad though??!!

Tracy: Well, I'm sure they let the duck re-oil itself before they tossed it back into the wild, if it has the ability to do that?

[contemplative silence]

Voting

What's the goddam point of living in America if you don't want to vote?

People these days have really been irritating me with their answers of "I don't know" or "I don't care" or "I just don't feel like it." Some people say that they're still too young..WHAT? You know there's a reason they passed that law that 18 year olds could vote. How could you call yourself an American and not vote? What are you doing here?

This is speaking ESPECIALLY to those of you who were born here. You know how lucky you were to have been born into this country? You know how easy we've got it in America? Some people fail to appreciate the fact that we're living in luxury compared to some countries that are living to just to stay alive. They've got nothing else. We've got everything.

If you don't choose to vote don't complain about how expensive gas is, how much tuition is going up in schools, even how stupid you think Bush is, the truth is,most people don't even know what's going on in the world, sure you catch a glimpse of the news and painfully observe Bush's terrible speaking and watch him send more American troops to death but how can you complain if you're not trying to do anything about it? Honestly, I haven't been met one person who's been able to carry a decent conversation about politics or world issues. I know that politics is one of those things you shouldn't talk about with people, but it's what's going on in the world YOU live in. It matters.

Well to the people that are already registered and ready to go..good for you! And for others that are not...*sigh..I've told you what is true, and really it's your life, however if you've changed your mind, you can register here. :)

The Week from HELL

You know where there's so much going on and you're so stressed out you just can't help but laugh? That's me. I'm laughing my head off. That would be the call that I am officially going nuts. For some reason everyone at this school had some really bad things happen to them this past week and when we all thought it was bad enough, it just got worse. A recap of this damn week:

1. Two of my friend's close family friends died in the SAME week and because she lives in PA, couldn't even attend the funeral of someone she's known all her life.
2. One of my other close friends get into a huge fight with the girl above where I am put into the position of middle man.
3. One of my friends gets sent to the psychiatric ER; her mom had to come all the way from Ohio to take her back home. (we never even got to say goodbye)
4. Somehow after my friend went back to Ohio, a bunch of my other friends started hating each other
5. A friend finds out his sister forgot to file his FAFSA and loses his scholarship
6. Alexis' chihuahua popcorn died.
7. Her boyfriend found out his dog has cancer.
8. surely there is more to come...

BUT just to top off such a great week, on Saturday...

Two girls decide to build a freaking fort in their room and they were smart because they hung a sheet over the bloody FIRE SPRINKLER causing it to break and 400 gallons of water per minute come shooting out. SMART GIRLS - high off weed and piss ass drunk. So all of us heard the fire alarm and evacuated. We were outside for 4 strenuous hours in 45 degree weather, and when we were finally let back in at 3 in the morning, there was water everywhere: in the halls, in 12 bedrooms (including mine), in the bathrooms, just everywhere. The water that shot out from upstairs had seeped through and down the walls onto our floor. Then I hear Paul cussing out the girls upstairs and threw a beer bottlecap at one of the girl's faces, but the girls were so high they just laughed. THEY LAUGHED. They laughed not knowing they were going to be responsible for over $500,000 in damages in the next couple days, they laughed not thinking how many people would want to beat their asses, they laughed about their college careers going down the drain. Sucks.

That night everyone was up until 4 in the morning trying to clean up the mess and furious about damages to their personal belongings. I fell asleep with the door open, my pants soaking from walking up and down the flooded halls, with the light on, and practically a river going through my room. Eventually the maintenance came to mop but that was only the beginning.

The next couple days were hell; the frosting on the cake. It reeked of mildew because the water was in the walls and in the wooden floor. I swear we scrubbed the life out of that wooden floor with Clorox 3 times and it didn't work. With that, we were breathing in mildew particles floating through the air into our lungs and my nose just became used to the smell of mildew, and oh it gets worse...

Then while I'm having an important meeting with a professor I get a call from Alexis, and this is like 2 hours before her flight left for LA, telling me we were ordered to evacuate our rooms and find somewhere else to stay because supposedly a group of scientists came and said the water was spreading throughout the walls and floors, not drying, and that they needed to bring in heavy duty equipment, staff, lift the floors, turn up the heaters to 100 degrees to fix it asap. We had to take most of our stuff too because there were basically going to turn our rooms upside down. No prior notice. We just had to get our asses out of there, STAT. And oh yeah I forgot to mention Marc's sister was coming tommorow to stay with me. I feel bad because she was all excited to see how it is in college. Well this is how it is when you live with dumb people.

Now it's Easter break and most people went home. Me? I'm sitting here in the dark in Shaun's room because she went home and I had to move all my crap into this room. Oh by the way, the power went out too, right when I was drying my laundry.

PERFECT.
