WELL I HAVE FLOOR TICKETS TO GO SEE THEM!!!

That's what I'll be doing April 24 when they're here in town!!!!

There are a bunch of good concerts coming here soon!!!

BUT another thing yesterday driving back from school I was listening to my favorite radio station !!!

And they said that Justin Timberlake is coming back here for a third time in August I WAS LIKE OMGSHUTUP I SO WANT TICKETS!!!!!!!

And Fall Out Boy is here April 19!!

And Gwen Stefani is here the day before my birthday!!

I think March is get-back-in-touch-with-people-you-haven't-talked-to-in-forever Month

I have been like running into people on campus, people are emailing, or facebooking, myspacing me and vice versa...its great :D

Lately though I've been working on my brother's graduation stuff he's a senior this year...and its like pulling teeth to get him to help me plan his party and sending out things...boys jeez

Its a beautiful day!

and you know where I'm at...sitting in side writing this research paper
I know its my fault for procrastinating but I just have to face the pain/torture of it all and grin and bare it
This week has sucked...well until Tuesday that is
I woke up sick...and I'm not talking about I have a small cough and a sore throat kind of sick...I'm talking about can't stand up for more than 5 minutes without fealing nauseous or dizzy...oh yea it was not fun... but I slept like most of the day (which I never do if I had to be at school) 
I'm one of those students who would rather get the rest of the school population sick before I miss a day of school (haha its the quickest way to get rid of something)
Well the downside to that I missed a class where we had a Lab due but there was like no way that I could have gotten them to my professor
Well on Thursday I went to class...and encountered Kristin, Brandon, and Brian walking the opposite class...well they were like skip with us...and I was like I have to turn these things in since I wasn't there last class so I go upstairs and go to hand them to her and I explain that I was extremely sick and she was like well I don't take late work but I'll hold on to it so if at the semester and it will affect your final grade then I'll grade it then. And this just made me upset like I snapped I still was feeling all that well I had freaked that there was a test in that class that day (since her website is all messed up) although my friends assured me it was next week and I spent all my break that day working on studying and the lab due that class when I could have been like I don't know working on my paper
But it really upset is that she has accepted late work from other people like Brian who had used almost the same excuse (although mine was actually legit) the week before when we had skipped class b/c all we did was going to do power points (which she puts on her website...and she doesn't deviate from them...its the power point presentation that was made by the book company...its just boring...and seriously a waste of an hour and 15 mins)  and well we had to email her our Alice projects...and she took his...I was like WTF she's told me on two seperate labs that she doesn't take late work  and that if she took it from me she would have to start taking it from everyone else
but back to Thursday... I just walked out seriously I was like whats the point of sitting in that class so I caught up with my friends.
And I've been inside since Thursday working on my paper only going to work for a few hours yesterday (which was a nightmare and another story all toghether)

haha that took a while to write

back to the tortu-- I mean writing
~Christen

So right I'm supposed to be working on my Dance report (keywords: SUPPOSED TO)  but I tend to get distracted easily lol and I found this...
this is what turns up when you search your university's name

( watch this )

There's only one thing bothering me about this video...WHERE THE HECK DID THEY FILM THIS AT... cuz I was looking at the stage I was like...that's SOO not stillwell...and the performance hall isn't ready yet...but like one of the pieces with the opera peeps was one we performed with them...so I was confused...BUT OMG the photos at the end...I'm so in the Mozart one...which they don't label...but it's the last ensemble picture...and I'm one of those dots of people...on the left side of the picture...3 or 4 row...I can't remember...lol

okay I have to get back to my dance report

I had a lot of fun although I wished we stayed longer!

Pictures will be coming soon!

Although its only half of the pictures since my friend is a bit technological impaired and somehow lost all the pictures on her camera

I told her from now on...to refrain from touching anything electronical lol

It was so beautiful down there and I had a lot of fun shopping :D

the two full days down there just wasn't enough justice to see it all

but I did splurge a bit since really I don't normally buy lots of things when I go on trips...if I just buy my post card (for my collection) I will be happy

so we were on River Street and they had all these artisans and well I came across this painter and I just had to stop...all of his pieces were musically influenced...and it made me instantly think of buying one for my grandma but I couldn't decide and then I found one I liked so I was like er... so I kept coming back and so like the third time I came back and I was like okay I'm going to buy one for my grandma and one for me...and he was like since I like you guys so much I'm going to give you one of the other prints for free. I was like DUDE AWESOME

then I bought a skirt thats very cute...and I bought some candy...dude this candy shop was freaking huge...and had lots and lots of candy in it...I was in heaven...so I bought some rock candy since its been like forever since I had some...and I bought my dad some of their homemade taffy

Another good thing about the trip

the FOOD...being on the beach with lots of fishing boats...you get a lot of seafood which I love...and it was so good to be on the beach...I miss it...lol...but yea it wasn't until the night before we left we went out to the place called the crab shack and OMG that place was so FREAKING NEAT and the food was excellent!! 

but yea it was fun crazy times!

~Christen

so I'm not sure if I like the layout overall...eh I'm still playing with it but the important thing is I made a new header lol

so check it out mouseygirl512

this week has been so busy

I'm exhausted I haven't had time for anything

but YAY

SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I updated awhile ago in January about my participation in Extreme Makeover Home Edition

It was originally scheduled for March 4 

but due to the Oscars was pushed back (b/c if you go to the site it lists Tampa being the next episode) logically I'm guessing that the episode will be airing March 11

as I'm not 100% positive I'll let you know the day after March 4 (when they post the next show date) to confirm but if your in the US and get that show you can watch it and know that I'm there!!! although most likely you won't see me but you never know! If I'm seen anywhere...I'll take a screenshot and post it! Since I'll be recording it!

well I'm tired
night night
~Christen

I hate when it rains while I'm at school

so I have List #1 for
burningicex2
 ready well it just needs formatting and then it will be ready to post
I was going to wait on the new layout but I'm not sure when we're getting it...so I'm going to be posting when its done

I think I'm catching the cold that my brother had...what a loserface...

ugh I have to work tonight and all I want to do is go home and go to sleep

I hate this feeling of being tired all the time

I'm still thinking about signing up for  
a_wrinkleintime
lol although not sure what character to pick up ... I've been watching it since Jen mentioned it in her LJ...definitely seems like alot of fun...

Okay so DUDE I went home...after my first class and then about 1 I'm like I should probably head back to school...it took me 30 MINUTES to find a FREAKING parking space...it sucked

I have a test on monday for american history which means 4 essays again

well I need to get  ready for work
~Christen

So
we might have a place for spring break which I'm happy about. It's mostly likely going to still be chilly there but we'll be near a beach
We're not staying the whole week and the boys are coming with us now. But hey we can have fun without them. 

Okay I'm jealous my brother has today off and tomorrow he's not even doing anything...claiming he's sick...but then when I tell him to go get some sleep he says he doesn't feel tired and doesn't feel that bad he's such a liar.

I'm kinda excited
My dad is looking to buy another car...for me and my brother to drive. Currently I'm the only one that drives but it is Patrick's senior year and will be going off to college so he's gonna need one. But hehe I like being the oldest...I get first pick over the two cars. Patrick is going to hate me but he'll get over it.

List of things to do
+Put list #1 together  (I just need to format it...and then its done!)
+Do Reader Assignment #4 
+Do Extra Credit Assignment Report
+Do Lab #5 (gah don't make me...torture...PURE TORTURE)
+Do Spanish exercises
+Work on QUIA
+Find folk tale for theater project
+Finish organizing closet
+Make a header/icon for LJ
++Procrastinate...

I hope everyone's having a good day

this weekend was GREAT

it was EXTREMELY stress free it was great

except for like Friday

since I was like within the minute of the deadline for emailing my homework in to for American History

so I was kinda freaking out about that

and I didn't really answer 2 questions...well one not up to my usual standard of answer and one I didn't get to before it was like 11:57 (I had to have it in by midnight)...which I think was good since I kept getting a 50/50 

I didn't do any work for burningicex2 this weekend was the downside but I have some free time so I'll work on my spreadsheets for that

Saturday night I went over to Mary's and we had a girl's night
We got pizza, root beer, sprite, reese's, sweet hearts (I LOVE VALENTINE'S DAY CANDY), cake, mint dibs, and chex mix...lol lots of junk food...I'm not going to eat like for a week.... and we rented step up and derailed...but derailed was a weird movie...but omg step up is a good movie...pretty guy....wish I could dance...awesome music...good kind of movie

sunday we went to brunch with jose's family to talk about SPRING BREAK
which OMG IS LIKE IN LESS THAN THREE WEEKS
I'M SO EXCITED

then we hung out until mary went back to school
and then at 6 me and mary started our Grammy chat session
which was alot of fun
despite mary's long silences and her comments about JT

...there is 2 songs that I want to make headers for but i'm not sure why type of picture to put with the lyrics

well I'm starving so I need to close this up

~Christen

So this week has been 
Exhausting

I don't think that I've slept so much in a week

I missed to assignments (since they were online) b/c I fell asleep...I think I'm going to come down with something doesn't help that I'm taking care of my sick father today

So I'm really excited...at work we have this large board that we use to hang stuff about the upcoming events

well right now it doesn't look to pretty

so I got distracted in class and came up with a new design and everyone in the office loves it

so yea

We have to have it up before the Dance Company's concert since that friday before Spring break EVERYONE in there brother is coming to it...like all the important people at the university

you know what else I'm excited about

the reviving of burningicex2 plans are being made I got a new mod (there was a possibility of another but I haven't heard anything back from them....*cough cough* inovertime your friend never replied to my comment did she ever get it/see it?)

also my trip which is like in 3 weeks (YAY SPRING BREAK...FOR ONCE I'M GOING SOMEWHERE)

life is good I think despite the work that I've missed (due to my sleeping alot this week) but I'll live...or I'll eventually get over it lol...

How's life for everyone else I feel like I haven't talked to forever to my peeps on LJ? So leave me something exciting or just a random comment :)

~Christen

for some reason when I got back from work...

the empty house just made me feel sad

But work was fun it always is when I work with Richard

so omg we had this sign made for will call tickets b/c people ask us that like a billion times so we made a HUGE sign for it

so me and Richard are doing tickets in the box office while everyone else is out in the hall

and I said to him I was like how many people do you think are still gonna ask about will call tickets

and then I suggested we keep a tally of it

I think our count was 17 and the husband of the former university president (Richard had to specially note that one lol)

That might be our new tradition for shows lol

I would like to thank in advance to sharpiesmudge for agreeing to do the next layout for burningicex2

I'm sure its going to turn out great!!

I was taking a look at the community info and realized that one of the mods had left the community and one of them hasn't posted to LJ in her own LJ for a very long time...and well the other 2 well they're the ones who helped out in the beginning and helped me make it...so yea only 2 real mods (that is if sharpiesmudge still wants to be one?) 

I have huge lists waiting to be put up

but I'm not going to put them all at once...I'm going to break it down

Question for you guys though

when you look at a rec list how much info do you like to see about the fic or art? (# of chapters, rating, etc)

there was so another thing I was going to update about...but I went all ADD and for got it

lol
~Mousey

Me and my friend like dorks we are will be watching it and be squeeing *OMG we helped on that or we took the tags of that or we put that together*  lol...and were going to have it recorded and then we'll go thru that frame by frame to see if we can see ourselves
