Corinne and I started compiling a list of "you know you were in PA when..." and it turned out to be quite funny. Feel free to leave any other suggestions as a comment.
You know you were in PA when…
You remember how 5th period was a complete waste of time
You skipped class to go to the vocal/drama/dance room and/or You remember when Becca Tobin and Jessica Haney got kicked out for skipping and said it was a waste of time.
You were molested by Colt Prattes.
You wish you were molested by other members of comPAny…particularly Billy Tighe.
The name Mikado causes chronic bouts of rage.
You took a gay boy to prom because there was no other option!
You remember the infamous game of telephone on a stormy day in vocal concentration that began with “Mr. T has a pet rat named Bananas.” And ended with “Ryan and David are bed buddies.”
You remember when auditions for Pebblebrook were actually taken seriously.
You remember shows were not precast…yah right.
You remember the “Wagoner and his guitar effect.”
You remember the time chamber choir got chewed out for going on stage in the wrong order on a vocal concert.
You know the meaning of “magic robes.”
You have stolen at least one item from the performing arts department.
You got more action from gay boys than you could ever dream of getting from a straight one.
You remember Penick’s baked goods.
You were a privileged member of Cobia or Penick’s class and felt above sitting in a desk, or participating and on occasion, participated from a cardboard box.
You remember what “I got the conch!” means.
You remember the ever present confusion about Michael Mckee’s sexuality.
You found yourself asking if a guy was gay before you considered him as a possible boyfriend.
You got confused when you came to college and found white people and straight guys.
You get really funny looks from people whenever you share a story from high school.
You found yourself wishing that you were a gay boy so you could get some action on field trips too.
You get filled with a fiery rage whenever you hear anything about any of the musicals that were performed while you were at Pebblebrook.
You already knew all of the words to every song in Rent before the movie came out.
You never/rarely went to a football game.
Sometimes it really did feel like your life was a musical.
The phrase “you’re rehearsing for failure” makes you either die a little bit inside or makes you laugh.
You started a countdown to graduation in your junior year.

Okay, I've almost completely switched to xanga. I really like the layout better, and i can actually figure out how to do things on it. I'll still be checking my friends page on livejournal, but if you want to see actual posts go to www.xanga.com/mizzoublondie. I highly suggest that everybody get a xanga. They're freakin' awesome and I love it. I never thought I'd switch...but peer pressure set in and now I really like it.

I haven't updated in a while, but there isn't much to say. I've been very sick recently, and I'm finally almost over it. However, I started my period yesterday and had super bad cramps...something tells me that my body is at war. Well, now my uterus has officially bonded with Barbara's and they're currently plotting ways to take over the world. Not much else going on really. I'm doing lots of stuff for homecoming so that's always fun. Oh yeah, my dad gave away my kitty (Casper) to the Humane Society this morning without telling me. It's been a rather fun day. I'm looking forward to having one of those super incredible days that makes the past two weeks worth every ounce of suffering. Believe it or not: I'm actually happy...just really busy and sick. Hopefully that will all improve drastically.

Okay, I'm almost completely over the sickness and the knee injury...but now i have a new problem. To put it lightly, I have a sore in a not so fun place. It's incredibly painful, and I have to go to the fucking health center for the 3rd time this week. The fun part is going to be explaining to a complete stranger what I was doing before I got the sore...oh happy times. I think if I get just one more ailment, I'm going to jump off the parking garage. That way, I don't have to endure any more pain and my lovely roomie can get all A's.

Okay, I know this sounds really lame seeing as we go to the same school and are from the same place but I really miss Brent. I never see him anymore, and when I do see him he's too worn out by all of his other stuff that he's too pre-occupied to make our time together fun. He's super busy with his frat and his classes, so I'm trying to understand. It's just hard for me to be the understanding girlfriend when I never ever see him. He has come over to my room a lot more than I've been at his, but most of those times happened when I begged him to come over. He's just not the same guy anymore. He used to be so much fun and now he's serious all the time. It's just so much work for so little outcome. It's just not fun anymore...but I want so badly for it to be fun again.

Okay I had a horrible day. First there was the whole dilemma with my micro. TA being foreign. Then, I slipped on a puddle of water in one of the dining halls at dinner and my knee went out of place and now I can hardly walk. Then, I went to Target to replace my broken chair and they said that they can only give me $12 for my $50 chair because they discontinued it. Then, my dad called and announced that he's going to be living with his slut ass girlfriend and he's getting rid of all of my childhood furniture. (the part about the furniture is okay, just the girlfriend is the bad part). Now I have to go read about 6 more chapters of my book before class tomorrow.

Okay, my schedule totally sucks. Today, I left at 8 AM and didn't get home until 4PM. I know it doesn't sound like much, but for a lazy college student like myself, it was torture. I have classes and work back to back with a small lunch. It's pretty much like that every day. I'm taking 17 hours, so I knew that it would be busy. Fortunately, my Fridays are much easier. The really tragic thing is that once I finally get back to my room, I have to do homework. This is no ordinary homework, we're talking it takes me all night just to finish a fair portion of it. I still end up going to bed with some of it not done just because there's just too much for one little girl to do by herself! Despite all of my complaints, I'm really enjoying being back at school. I like most of my classes and I'm having a great time getting back into the swing of things. And speaking of that, it's time for the first PAC meeting of the year.

Holy crap it's hot outside! I rode my bike to Jesse to get all of the stuff lined up for my job in the admissions office, and then to downtown to deposit a check. When I came back, I peeled off my clothes and bathed in the lovely cool air of the air conditioner for about 5 minutes. It feels like it's about 1,000 degrees outside!!!! I have really high hopes for this year. I'm taking a lot of classes, but I think I can handle it. I'm glad to be re-united with my friends, and I'm excited to meet the new people that have moved into my "residence hall".

I'm at MU right now. I got here last night. My parents and I got everything out of the car and the storage unit, they took me to dinner and Wal-Mart and then they left. There's hardly anybody here right now. Official move in day is not for another 4 days. However, I did get to spend the day with Brent and Stephie yesterday. I can't sleep for the following reasons: 1) all of my stuff is all over the floor of the room and there's no place to walk 2) I'm hungry as hell 3) my brain won't shut up long enough for me to fall asleep. It's fucking 5:45 here and I'm wide awake with all of the lights on in the room. I must be losing my mind. Okay, I don't want it to sound like I'm sad to be here. I'm actually very excited to be here, there just happens to be a lot of things to complain about at the moment. My parents did help me move my furniture, but everything else is not set up. They didn't even plug in the fridge. When did I get to be the one that has to do everything for myself? I guess that happened a year ago...it was very exciting then, but now it's terrifying. In 3 years, I'll be on my own. Not in school, but with a job (hopefully). Wow. Okay must have more caffeine before more rambling starts. Barbara, come down here quickly! It doesn't feel right without you here! (on the other hand, there's no room for you quite yet...stay a while.)

If I could think of just one day this year that would be a horrible day to have horrible cramps/nausea...today would be that day. However, my uterus is not with the program. Is it possible to have a historectomy at 19???

I'm leaving for good ole' Mizzou on Wednesday. I have mixed feelings. I really just can't wait to get the hell out of here. But I really want to bring my friends, my dog, and my bed with me. Unfortunately, my friends have lives of their own that they have to live, and my dog and my bed won't fit in the dorm room. I'm starting to get really confused about the whole "home" thing. For 18 years, home was where my family is. At school, home is Defoe. But 5 years from now, home could be anywhere. Must stop thinking. Yes, I'll put that on my to-do list right after pack all of my worthy possessions to move (once again) to Mizzou.
PS: Last day of work tomorrow! YAHOO!!!!

You know, one of my biggest fears is waking up and thinking: "who is this old man laying next to me?" Worse than that, I really don't want to think: "Who is that old lady in the mirror...clearly that isn't me!" Call me stupid, but old age scares the bageebas out of me.
