Congrats to Mr. Casey Mears who finally won his very first Nextel Cup race tonight in Charlotte! I was almost there but man I wish I had gone now to see that… And JJ came in second!

I have 8 1/2 pages written on my paper… my lord.

I’m on page 3 of a 12-14 page paper (of actual content, not the works cited or title page) and my cousin and her husband have came down from around Atlanta.

Is it time for Nashville yet?

I feel like I’ve been MIA to everybody lately… to Penni, Shannon, all my bunny girls, the visitors the site and message board, hell even my Mom but this class is getting to me. There’s a lot of things to do and the class ends next week and I still have my research paper about pornography to do and then my presentation about it, which should be interesting to say the least.

Penni’s leaving for Charlotte in the morning. If I were going, we would be there now but I’m not. I guess it all worked out as it was meant to because if I were going, I would be up shit creek without a paddle with this research paper and presentation. Dr. Kim was a little wtf’d by my topic today but my new dude just grinned at it.

I heart him so.

I got our flight information too… we leave here at 11am with a stop over in Atlanta and we get to Nashville at 3:09 CST… we come back Monday around 10:45 but it sucks because we have to leave at 6am which means we have to be at the airport around 4:30 so that Sunday night, I doubt Penni and I get any sleep but it’s all good… at least I get to go to class on Monday so I’ll only miss two days which is a lot better. It’s still a little surreal that I won this prize… I fucking never win anything like that. It’s funny, all the years of entering shit online in my BSB days, I just randomly enter this one and bam, it happens.

And tonight is 11 years ago that my Granny died.

So… looks like we’re going to Nashville after all. It must be fate telling me I need to go. It’s really weird… I’ve been thinking about Nashville a lot lately and all of my old country CD’s. The last week of Spring Semester as I was preparing for my Law exam, I was putting all my old songs on my hard drive. Then when the Charlotte thing didn’t work out, I was depressed and had been thinking about going to a concert because I haven’t since Josh’s concert last September. Then when I didn’t think I would have the money to eat on and stuff in Nashville…. I get my access check from school.

Isn’t it funny how shit turns out? (more…)

So I’ve been a Reba McEntire fan since I was a little girl… I loved her, adored her, and wanted to be like her. I’ve got proof by some of my old pics in high school when I tried to get the big red hair like her. Well things word in mysterious ways.

For the first time in my 26 years… I missed the Academy of Country Music Awards Tuesday night. When I was younger… I would plan my week around them! I would record them, analyze them, keep a notebook on who won, etc. (This was before the internet came into my life). Well… I missed them. I totally forgot about them until around 11:30, my mother yells at me and is like “Oh Shit, you forgot about the ACM’s!” I was heartbroken…

So yesterday I’m in my office working on my presentation for International Media tomorrow on Great Britian and the 80’s and 90’s music that came from there when my phone rings… It says Unknown so I don’t answer it… and then they call back, this time leaving a message. So I go check the message and it was this chick from the CMA’s….. (more…)

It’s been hell… that’s basically all I can say. I ended up dropping the Algebra test yesterday which isn’t what I wanted to do but I had no choice. I bombed that first test. I misunderstood myself when I told myself I could do it… I’m going to take it in the fall… my homeroom teacher from high school teachers it… at night, but whatever, I’ll take it. International Media has been interesting…. while everybody else is in a group of 3 to do a 14 page research paper… I’m by myself. Am I a moron? Probably, but I don’t want pitty felt because the group I wanted to be in didn’t want me.

Screw ‘em.

And fuck NASCAR for the penalty they gave Tony, Jr and Dale, Jr. FUCK them. It’s a conspiracy.

So, I’ve been in class for a total of 18 hours in the past three days…. 3 hours of Algebra and 3 hours of International Media a day and I have my first math test on Monday. I’m scared shitless. Math is NOT my strong point. I asked the teacher, an older man, did he take checks, money order, or credit cards and how much did a D cost. All I need is a D… it’s a core class, I’ll be happy with a D in Math… trust me. I don’t know why I’m so bad at it… I was good at it in elementry and middle school. See.. back then everybody was in the same class all day long.. but me and another girl… we were really good in math, bad in English and alright in Science and Social Studies so we changed classes… we had Math with the smart students… English with all the bad kids and the other classes with the regular kids. Now… I can barely keep my checking account straight (although online banking does help!)

But something interesting happened today… I’m sure Shannon will find it interesting. (more…)
