I'm a geek

Look what I did yesterday in my spare time.(which was like 10 min) I just learned it yesterday in my Trig/Calculus class. It is a great short cut! If you don't understand it I would be more then pleased to explain it to you in real life.

(Notice it is all color coated to make it easier to read. I tell you it was not easy transferring all the math symbols to the computer. But you, my public are worth it. My hope is that at least one of you can appriciate how awesome of a short cut this really is)

Speaking of Dreams

Sorry haven’t updated. I’ve been gone. I’m sure it was such a disappointing couple of days. How many times you must have checked in hope that I had updated, and gone away in utter despair.

Yesterday I watched the movie Field of Dreams. Joce referenced that movie a week ago with the whisper that the main character hears while standing alone in his corn field- “If you build it, he will come.” Overall it was kind of a weird and far-out movie. However, I am glad I watched it so that the next adult that references that movie I will actually be able to laugh and know what I am laughing about.

Well… I had a dream last night. Haha. It is one that I just have to share with you guys. It all started out with the Oscars. A lot of the stars were there including Angelina Jolie. Then as soon as they had all done the red carpet thing all of us (including the stars) went back to Scott’s house for a meal. Then as Angelina Jolie was leaving I was talking to the coat-check-person about the differences between Asians and Americans. She got really mad at me for calling them Asians! (It was because her son adopted son, Madox, is Asian, in real life) She told me not to call them Asians! I was like “why not? They are Asians.” Anyway I didn’t argue that much because she is Angelina Jolie. Then she took my coat and said she wanted to wear it to the party tomorrow and I was to bring it for her to wear. I agreed. Then I went back into Scott’s apartment to see all the other celebrities had left. So there was Tiffany and Scott sitting there and talking. Then they turn to me and say, “we are getting married.” “WHAT!” I utter in disbelief. “You guys can’t get married! You haven’t been dating, and honestly your personalities don’t go together.” Tiff answered, “Oh we know that. We are just getting married for convince. We don’t love each other, not even like each other romantically, it would just be convenient for us to get married.” I was in disbelief. I couldn’t believe it! I knew that they were going to regret it one day, but both were set on getting married.

Anyway, that was my dream. Weird huh? Well, hope I made your day by posting.

I would have died

Did you all know my brother was taking Karate? Well, not but less then a week ago he got his suit and the white belt that comes with it. Well, Monday night at his class he got his yellow belt. He passed the test by the grace of the head trainer (with whom we have good veza with). Poor guy. I was SO embarrassed for him! To pass your test he had to go out in front of the whole karate classes combined (all the belts were lined up on one side of the gym, there were probably 60-70 of them watching him) then he had to do a series of moves to pass his test. Before he did anything though the head trainer went out in front of all the kids and said “This is Lucas, he is an American, he didn’t understand that he was supposed to come last Sunday to get his belt. He is with an organization. He does not understand Bosnian okay?” I was so nervous for him! Poor guy he is only ten and then 120 eyes all on him! My mom was making agony noises the whole time. Then she said “oh, this is just torture for me, I can’t watch anymore.” So she closed her eyes for a little bit. I was on the edge of my seat praying, “Please do well, please do well, and please don’t make any mistakes.”

In the end he did make a couple mistakes but they gave him the belt. Oh, to be nine again and be able to bounce back from such an embarrassment. He was SO happy that he got his belt he didn’t even care that they made him do that. I need to scan the pictures I have of him before all those kids and doing his moves. Ohh, Lucas. I love you!

Cimburiada-first day of spring

I have had such fond memories of Cimburiada. (Zenica’s own holiday were everyone goes down to the park in the middle of the city and has a rostil, or walks around) A picture taken three years ago showed me in a tank-top with sunglasses on. Well… this year wasn’t quite that warm, it rained a little bit, but then was just a little gray. I shouldn’t complain. It could have been snowing as it did last Sunday. But it would have been ideal to see the sun and blue skies. However, even if the weather were nice it still wouldn’t have been the best Cimburiada. There was no sit down time with the Bosnians around the grill smelling the cevapi as it cooks. Instead my family decided to only go to half the holiday, and just walk around. Joce found me shortly after we got there (thankfully!) so I didn’t die of boredom. (Question for all you married people out there… don’t you get sick of your husband or wife? I mean don’t you just want to go and hang with other people all the time? It is a mystery of marriage that I have never found the answer to) Don’t get me wrong, I love my family a lot… but its just not the same when you see them everyday. Aside from all of that… I only got to see one person that I knew. (Besides two of Walter’s old boys from a distance) Such a disappointment! Ohh well. At least it is the first day of spring! That’s good! So happy first day of spring everybody, hopefully your days will be full of sunshine and warmth.

Drama, drama, drama

Well, long time no post everybody. Sorry about that. I have been really, REALLY busy with the drama practices and trying to get in all my school. My mom counted up all the hours I have worked on the drama. 40 hours!!! I have a bitter sweet feeling now that it is over. In a way relived that it is over, however, I'm kind of disapointed. It took us Co-op kids 40 hours of work for a one hour performance and after we worked so hard I just wish we could have performed it a couple more times. But as I promised I would post some pictures of the play.

This is me playing the Jackal, John playing the Brahman, and Janelle playing the Tiger at the end of the first of the four stories.

Here is me playing the Russian mouse and Will playing the Lion without a tail. I am a salesmouse that sells the (stupid) lion an invisible tail. (Like the Emperor's New Clothing Story)

This is Will as the lion and Lucy as his wife. (I as the Russian mouse gave him a wife 'free' with his new tail). Obviously he, as the lion, doesn't want a wife.

This is in the closing scene when all the characters come back.

Quicky

I have a blog post half written about last Monday, but I haven't had time to finish the story. Just look forward to it. Until then I will be in Sarajevo for the drama we, as a Co-op, are putting on. I'm really looking forward to it, but nervous too. I'll post some pictures of the drama next post.

Sorry this is not a very exciting post. There is nothing more disapointing then a bland post.

Mmmmmm.... what's that smell?

You know those short little stories that make you laugh, which are at the end of the long articles in Reader’s Digest? Well, I heard one a while ago that I remember… let me tell it to you (don’t worry I tie it all in together and relate the story back to me)… There once was a lady who worked somewhere that gave her tons of perfume samples all the time. She had so many of these samples she started using them as bathroom freshener. Until one evening when she went out with her husband to a fancy dinner… later in the evening her husband leaned over to kiss her when he sat back up and asked her “honey why are you wearing the bathroom freshener?”

Back to me. How does this relate? Well, normally I hate bathroom freshener. Hate it! Because my family usually only owns or buys the potpourri smelling ones. Which makes me want to gag. However, recently I have made a discovery. We have a new bottle with the scent ‘Ocean Blue’ and I have discovered that I like the smell. I really like the smell. I like the smell so much I am actually considering wearing it as perfume. I never knew I was capable of actually debating whether I should wear bathroom freshener as a perfume. But people change, and new scents are invented… such as “Ocean Blue.”

I WANT an APPLE!

Okay. Up until now I have wanted a Mac, but never thought of actually doing this to my Toshiba computer...... until now! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR the stupid thing won't work properly! I have to do my Potter School through AOL-internet. Which is VERY slow and whenever I get kicked off my Bosnian connection it makes AOL freeze, which only results me in re-booting my entire computer! Last week I had to do this 3 times during one class!! THREE TIMES I HAD TO RESTART MY COMPUTER!! Now I'm not 100% sure that this would not happen on a Mac. HOWEVER, I am a glass half-full kind of girl. Oh, and I forgot to tell you my CD burner doesn't work anymore! It only burns CDs that sound like they have been really, really scratched up. So now I can't take music I've bought on iTunes and listen to it on my discman...therefore it looks like I'm going to be 'needing' an ipod as well. I'm sure an Apple and ipod would be better for my mental stability! Donovan... i'd LOVE your imput on this... I will be waiting for you comments...

P.S. This is the computer I really want- the iMac but it would be incomplete without my ipod video along side it!! :-D

My geekyness and Dick Cheney

Come on... you knew the shirts were going to come out sooner or later!

The Zits comic strip reminds me of me. In 8th grade Mom made me use one of those wheeled backpacks. However, there were no cool ones back then. In fact I had to get a HUGE, ugly, boy one. I was quite embarressed. It was really cheap too, so the handle was really short... I ended up kinda bending over to roll it (please tell me how that is good for your back). *sigh* I was a geek. However, the kids in my class didn't write things all over me shirt... thankfully...

Me

I want my face on a postage stamp!
