Las Ideas Brillantes

Almost a year

Fri, 30 Mar 2007 01:50:39 GMT

hahahahahahahaha. I bet all you people thought you wouldn't hear from me for a year, I bet. Well tough gunungas.

Instead of catching everyone up on what I've been doing for a year, I'll just start with today and see what happens.

...my cat is currently prancing across my lap and drinking my tea, so if odd typos of sudden cut off in sentences happen: my apologies.

The day went decently, for a thursday, which happens to be my longest day of the week. But today everything was midgeted. Sculptue critique from 8:30 til 11.... so got out an hour early from sculpture. On my way back, I ended up running into a friend on the street and decided to get lunch... which got charged to my parent's credic card seeing as I still haven't foundmy debit card... Ooops. After lunch, I was packing up ready to go to work, when Greta calls me to tell me that Flora just went down and she's got crap to do at home so I don't need to be there until 2:30 (an hour later that usual)... so I cleaned the apartment, Thank GOD. After work, I dashed home cause I was going to be late for my painting class, to find that my painting instructor was home sick, so I spent two hours in the studio finishing an assignment before heading off ( two hours early).

And here I am, finding the time to update my dear ol' LJ for the first time in NEARLY a year.   Fabulous.

I had one shweet, shweet weekend. So, Let's see. Friday night, Me, Al, Leah and Jessie went to a CATCHpenny concert at the Varsity Theater. All the music was fantastic. The first warm-up act was this guy name's Ari Herstand, who was amaaaaaaaazing. Check out his stuff, he's on a myspace. So Al and I bought his CD and gotst us un autografo y una foto con el. Fue fantastic. Muchas smoochas a Ari. So, then this band called... Our World Fair... something liek that got up, and they were really good. And finally around midnight, CATCHpenny got around to playing :) Ooooh. Forgot to mention that my group and I were DIRECTLY in the front. So I got the best view in the house of everyone. Zach gave me his pick after he played, which was shweet.

And the next morning I had to fucking get up at seven o'clock in the morning for a coaching staff meeting for the speech team. Oh! That's something i haven't talked about. So, for those who don't know, I was on the Eden Prairie High School Speech Team for four year (a captain for two) ....yeah I know... I get cooler and cooler, right? Anywho, so this year I judged for them at tournements, but they asked me to be ab official paid coach for the team next year. How bitchin in THAT!? ...rather bitchin, let me tell you. So from 10 am to 7 pm, on saturday, I was chillin with all the coaches talkign about how crappy this year went and how we can make sure that didn't happen next year.

And now, this morning, I had to get up early to go to the Art Museum for my art history class. Not that I'm complaining about the location, cause c'mon... I could spend days in there if possible, but it was just another day that I didnt' get to sleep in any. Dammit. A whole weekend devoid of proper sleep. Life can be such a damn slave driver some times... ;)

Anywho.... I think that's about all that up in hizzle right now. Til next time, folks.

I GOT KICKED OUT OF MY FUCKING SPANISH CLASS. THAT LITTLE WHORE OF TEACHER KICKED ME OUT. I WROTE DOWN THE WRONG ROOM NUMBER FOR MY CLASS YESTERDAY AND I DIDN'T MAKE IT. I SENT HER AN EMAIL EXPLAINING WHAT HAPPENED AND DID SHE EMAIL ME BACK? NO!!!!!!!!!!!! SO WHEN I GET TO CLASS TODAY, I GOT UP TO HER AND SAY, "HI, I'M WHITNEY STARKEY, DID YOU GET MY E-MAIL YESTERDAY?" SHE NODDS HER HEAD AND ASKS ME WHY I WAS GONE AGAIN. I EXPLAIN THE WHOLE THING ALL OVER TO HER AND THEN SHE TELLS ME THAT I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN KICKED OUT OF THE CLASS BECAUSE IT SAYS ON THE SYLLABUS THAT IF YOU'RE ABSENT FOR THE FIRST DAY YOU'RE AUTOMATICALLY PUT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE WAITING LIST.

SO I SIT THERE DUMB STRUCK AND SAY VEEEEEERY SLOWING, "SO I'VE BEEN KICKED OUT OF THE COURSE?" AND SHE SAYS THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WAITING TO GET INTO THE CLASS AND YES, I'VE BEEN KICKED OUT OF THE CLASS, BUT I'M WELCOME TO STAY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CLASS TODAY. I SAID I WAS GOING TO LEAVE, AND GO TALK TO MY COUSELOR.

So I get back to mthe room and my lovely roommate Allie already is looking up classes for me to replace by spanish class. So NOW I'm registered for Art History 1001 wednesday nights from 4-6 which will be good cause my spanish teacher was a bitch, and last semester spanish was the class I dreaded going to every day and now I don't have to. and now, with the exception of mondays, I only have two classes a day and one of friday. So with will be good. A blessing in disguise (sp?).

So, Allie and I just back from Aladdin at the Children's Theater (my x-mas present to her). And here's my critique:

Aladdin: HOT as fuck. Great Voice. Great Actor
Jasmine: IRRITATING as fuck. Terrible voice. Crap actor.
Jafar: DRAMATIC as fuck. Excellent voice. Awesome actor
Genie: FUNNY as fuck. Great voice. Funny (but not Robin Williams) actor.
Iago: ....slightly disappointing

Overall, we both had a great time. And Again.... ALADDIN WAS FUCKING HOT

And Jasmine was such a fucking crap of a performer... She was SO fuckign whiney and she kept, like, over fidgeting and her acting was TERRIBLE. HORRID, really. It was quite sad.

Right after we went out to dinner we were going to go to a movie after... but we were both pretty tired. And cold... and pajamas sounded SO good.

Anywho. Great night, in general.

Hope everyone has a fabulous Turkey Day.

I think my mom is ready for thanksgiving to be over so she can start decorating for Christmas... and she keeps playing all these Christmas Albums.

And it Al reads this, you know the Regis CD? I told my mom about it and she said, "Yeah! I saw that in Target! I really want it" My MOTHER wants to pipe REGIS PHILBIN CHRISTMAS CAROLS through the house... thank God my ear infection has spread to both ears so now I can't hear out of either one of them.

What a Night

Mon, 21 Nov 2005 23:20:06 GMT

So I went to a Hanson concert last night

...yeah that's right. I've got enough balls to say it. A Hanson Concert. And it was fun. Cause they're good now.

And when we got back around midnight, there were police cars outside of our dorm.

A girl tried to kill herself. She lived in the dorm below me. I've heard every rumor imaginable about how, why and if she succeed or not, so I'm not really sure what's true and what's not, and I don't know her so I don't want to go spreading possibly wrong info to people who don't know her either. It's still scary though.

Sun, 20 Nov 2005 02:19:13 GMT

It's 8:16pm on Saturday.

I have a rough draft of a research paper due monday.

I've done about an hour worth of research.

and I'm sick.

Really sick.

And all I want to do is sleep.

So saturday night there was an 80's party at the lodge. And it was SO fun. Before the party, all the girls were getting ready together and blaring Billy Idol and other eighties hits and teasing our hair to hell.

When we got to the party there were way less people than I was expecting and it was mostly confined to the basement. We were pretty much the only ones dancing, the the tunes were kickin and there was a bit of alcohol running through our veins. So yeah. It was a really good night. We all had SO much fun!

And Sunday I did nothing. ...Absolutely nothing. And it was fabulous.

Espresso

Sat, 12 Nov 2005 20:21:58 GMT

It never fails.

Every single time I get coffee, I spill it on myself.

No matter what kinda of cup I'm drinking out of, no matter what kind of lid may be on it.

I will get over zealous with that first or last sip.

And it is all over my shirt.

...damnit

Is it just me, or do I seem to get teased and mad fun of a HELL OF A LOT more than EVERY SINGLE OTHER PERSON ON THE PLANET?

...just curious.

Perks of College?

Fri, 11 Nov 2005 20:39:45 GMT

No voy a ir a la clase de español otra vez. ¿Por qué? Porque nosotros tendremos una profesora sustituta. Una profesora sustituta para una clase e la universidad. Yo pensaba que cuando vengo a la universidad, si un profesor tiene algo que es más importante a hacer, él o ella deben cancelar la clase. Pero no. No esta profesora. Nos da un sustituto jodido. Y este es irónico porque el sustituto habla español mejor que nuestro maestra normal.

Necesito salir los clases 100X pronto.

Scene: WHITNEY is walking down Nicollet Ave with her roommate ALLISON. She is running errands, refilling perscriptions, getting groceries, the like.

CASSIE is sitting at the table in WHITNEY's parents' house with her sister KATELYN, eating dinner with them, like any other thursday.

(WHITNEY's phone rings)
WHITNEY: Hello?
KATELYN: Hey, Whit. So. Dad wants to know how Antonio is doing.
WHITNEY: ...
KATELYN: (laughs)
WHITNEY: Excuse me?
KATELYN: Dad wants to know how Antonio is doing.
WHITNEY: ...does dad know what Antinio is???
KATELYN: Yep. Wanna talk to Cassie? (laughter in the background)
WHITNEY: Yeah. Why don't you put her on the phone.
CASSIE: Hello?
WHITNEY: WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?
ALLISON: Whitney! Shut up! You're in the middle of the street!
CASSIE: (laughs)
WHITNEY: WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?
CASSIE: Well, we were talking about it at dinner
WHITNEY: WHAT!? Why the FUCK did you tell my family about Antonio?!
CASSIE: Oh my God (laughs harder)

....in the end, Cassie was just joking. And My father does NOT know what Antonio is. Holy shit. Cassie, you're a rancid whore.

Today we start anew

Thu, 10 Nov 2005 20:58:41 GMT

So, here's the low down. I'm starting a new livejournal. Cause my last one was old. And a little wrinkly. So I'm chucking it and starting a new one. Tah dah.

So I was pissed as all fuck last night at the end of this week's America's Next Top Model (which is a fabulous bit of television). Like none of them got eliminated. What a let down. That's like the best part of the show.

And I was going to talk about the rest of my night but I have to talk about my sincerest disappoointment that I had today. So I have a crush. And each day that I'm suppose to see this cruch o' mine, I make sure I look extra nice. And was he in class today? no. damnit.

This is a shame, cause everyone keeps saying that if I want to get his attention, I should probably have my second conversation with him. God... he's SO FUCKING PRETTY.

Sweet Jesus, for once, I would like to be the one some guy comes up to.

ANYWHO.

So I'm going to an 80's party this weekend at the Lodge. And it's going to be sweet. Funny. Before Holloween, I had no idea I had so much 80's inspired accessories. Quite enlightening, let me tell you.

<>
I skipped Spanish yesterday. And it was fabulous. I watched day time tv for three hours straight. And washed the dishes. And then I had a conversation with my mother about how badly I need a job. Which I do. Cause I've over drawn from my checking account more time then I can count with my shoes on.

And ALSO this weekend I'm off on more apartment hunting with Allie and Brittany. I know what your'e thinking. How grown up. Next I'll be doing all sorts of grown up things like taking out a second morgage and adopting a child from that commercial where I can change his or her life for only 8 cents a day. Time certainly does fly, now doesn't it?
