New pretty-ness!

I will be the first to admit that I am a little bit too in love with my brand new layout. I am currently in work study, with my laptop, and am not connected to the internet. Therefore, before I left my room, I loaded my diary so that I could look at it while I wasn't connected to the internet. Should I be that excited about it? Is it as wonderful as I think it is? I don't know. I think the main reason I am so proud of it is that it only took me one try to get it right. Usually when I do a new layout, I have to go back and forth, tweaking things until it all comes out perfectly. This time, I just put the html code in that I thought would look the best, and it came out exactly how I wanted it. I'm not very good at html. And I don't know how most people make these complex web pages. But when I do it, I just use the little diaryland box that allows me to edit my html, and try different things until it looks good. I have thought about using netscape to make something a little prettier, but I like what I have right now. It is incredibly simple. But it accurately reflects what I want my diary to reflect. Above are my current favorite people. Well, my favorite people that I could include on a web page. I don't think my friends would be comfortable with me displaying their pictures for all of the world to see. Not that I blame them though. I don't think I'd put my own picture up unless it was somewhat distorted in an artistic way, so that I wouldn't really be recognizable outside of the picture. If it were a little safer, then my whole page would be plastered with pictures of the seemingly thousands of people in my life that I love. Then I'd come up with some creative way to place myself in the center, drawing from all of their faces, symbolic of the importance of each and every single one of them.

I am enjoying doing absolutely nothing these past few days. Its bad, since I really do have things to do. I have a paper to write, but the professor gave us an extension today. That means that I can do it this weekend when I am in Beverly. I plan to have a very efficient and productive weekend. With no distractions, I should be able to just relax and focus on my 4.0 quarter. I want it. It's in reach. I can do this.

This really annoying kid who is always in the office complaining about something just came in to check out the pool equipment.

Christina just sort of stopped by. She was working too, delivering the mail to my building. She stops by pretty often, but she never comes in. She stands at the door, and we have a 2-minute conversation. It's cool with me. Distractions are usually pretty good. I don't see Christina very much either. Next year I will. Next year she's going to be living with me. So, yeah. Next year is going to be awesome. Beck and I sharing a room, Katie and Christina sharing a room, a living room, kitchen (with stove, refrigerator etc), private bathroom. Aaah! My first venture into the real world of apartment living, without having to deal with paying rent every month, plumbing issues or anything like that. Plus, I'll be all protected by the CR swiping cards, disallowing the bad guys!

Wow, my grammar is really bad right now. I'm typing this in Word, and just about every line is underlined by the green squiggly grammar mistake indicator thingy. But with words like "squiggly" and "thingy," what can you do?

So, have I mentioned that I'm in love with Alanis Morissette? Mm, yeah, I thought so. Sorry folks. I love her though. I do! I was talking to Lauren yesterday about her attractiveness (I believe "hot" was the word) and Lauren was shocked! She thinks Alanis is ugly! How dare she? Man! That was my big Tuesday disappointment.

I don't know about other people, but when I picture a place in my mind, I picture a certain scene, image, place within the place. I am constantly looking out the window to my left, over my shoulder, when I am in work. (erg, the annoying kid just came back. He needs some help in social skills) It's this little image of the bricks, with students walking around, coming in and out of the building. I think that for me, it?s going to become something I think of when I think of Northeastern. Looking out the window.

I hope Janet comes back soon. Everyone wants to talk to her. Everyone always wants to talk to her. Jeesh. But she could talk to anyone for any length of time. So, who knows how long she will get held up wherever it is that she went.

I had Franco-American Spaghetti (from a can, of course!) for lunch. I can still smell it. And I wonder where the smell is coming from. Do I have it on me somewhere?

The beginning (only the very beginning) of "So Unsexy" (one of my favorite songs on the album) sounds a lot like "Mouth" by Merrill Bainbridge.

"I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful
So unloved for someone so fine.
I can feel so boring for someone so interesting
So ignorant for someone of sound mind." -Alanis

I can relate that that, but I think that anyone could. I need to listen to the rest of the song more carefully to decide how much it really applies. The only thing I don?t like about this cd is that it looks pretty cheap. The cover looks cheap, and it's kind of short, kind of too shiny. I liked her other two albums better, as far as packaging goes. I don't know about the music. I definitely like all three. I can't say if one is better than the other two, or if one is worse than the other two. There is definitely a distinct difference between them.

But either way. She's gorgeous. She's talented. She's impressive. I love her.

This is almost two pages. I need to stop now.
