THE BEAAATLES!♥

SCOOOOOORE!



So, today in Jazz Choir we started learning a medley of a bunch of Beatles songs, and it's freakin AWESOOOOOOOOME. And I now work with my best friend's sister(again) so that should make for more fun times. She's very easy to bug, you just pretend you're gonna poke her in the ribs or stare at her scary-ly and she crinkles up her nose and laughs and tells you to shut up....even though I didn't say anything. It's nice to have someone to talk to and dance with at work besides the trees.


HAHAHAHA,



I have good looking friends.



My car's tire's getting low again but I'm afraid to put air in it for fear of the tire exploding in my face like my dad says is TOTALLY possible..Where' s that little Nadreau when I need her?

That 70S' show comes on iiiiiin 6 minutes and I am excited:). I wish I had friends in my life like Hyde and Kelso and Jackie and Eric and Fez but Donna--, not so much. She doesn't treat Eric the way he deserves to be treated...He's beautiful...and she's mean to him and you can't really understand what she's saying alot of the time. Ok, time for me to go now. Tomorrow, I REGISTER! COLLEGE, BABY!

Weird Dream

Last night I had THE weirdest dream I can ever remember having. Parts of it were funny, others were sad, and some were just down right confusing. I will now procede on to my dream.


I was hanging out with a Moscow friend who was acting verrrrry strange. I then learned that he was acting so strange because he was on meth-. He was acting hyper and scary, and was going to try to drive home, but I wouldn't let him because he didn't have his drivers license. Then, he and I were in a building--I think it was a church, and everyone was on meth. It was really freaky and sad, and my hands kept getting these weird scratches all over them and I remember trying to wipe all the blood off my hands, but it would only stop flowing for a little bit and then start up again. THEN, I was at Cour de alane lake and I was helping Japanese immagrants get across the lake because, well, supposedly Japanese immigrate by way of tiny lakes in the wrong states. So, after I helped the Japanese people get to shore, we were met by this scary, short lookin' dude that had a problem with us. I think he was some sort of security guard. Our only way to get rid of him was for me to kick his left leg, which was smaller than his right leg, and that was guarenteed to make him leave us alone. So, I kicked his leg and he went away but THEN, this chimpanzee came out who's LEFT ARM was LONGER than his right arm, and he just kept clapping at us. I didn't have to kick him, because he wasn't any threat to us, just loud and obnoctous. I carried the monkey around on my back for a little bit and then woke up.

What the HECK does this dream mean!? My psychology friends always say the most random dreams are usually the ones that you should pay a little more attention to. If that's really the case then what the crap is my un-concious trying to tell me? NONE of it makes any sense...My moscow friend? They HATE the idea of even SMOKING. They'd never do drugs for a million years. And the meth addicts in the building?? What the HECK!? I don't know what to make of the Japanese people or the security guard, but I think there's something to be said about the monkey. I've had a lot on my mind lately, and maybe that's why he was there in my dream. After all, they say when you have a burden that you don't want or something bugging you, they say you have a monkey on your back.

  • "The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."
  • "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education."
  • "God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically."
  • "The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking."
  • "Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal."
  • "Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."
  • "The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible."
  • "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
  • "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school."
  • "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."
  • "Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater."
  • "Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity."
  • "If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut."
  • "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
  • "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."

  • "Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!"
  • "No, this trick won't work...How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?"
  • "My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."
  • "Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever."
  • "The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking...the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker."
  • "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."
  • "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
  • "A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."
  • "The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."
  • "Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."
  • "You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
  • "One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year."
  • "...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought."
  • "He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
  • "A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
  • "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." (Sign hanging in Einstein's office at Princeton)

For Cryin' out loud!

So, I had a Jazz Choir concert yesturday night in Sandpoint. We had busses chartered for us and we were all excited and happy to be going up.(We watched the movie "HOOK" on my bus.:-) )

The day was ok, kinda stressful because in a big group, people get confused about things that really don't need to be made confusing... but other than that, it was fun to get to hang out with people I don't usually see for more than an hour a day. The church folk made us dinner and that was EXCELLENT. Board games were played and the sounds of college kids yelling "JENGA!" and "YATZI!!" flooded the halls.

So, we all get up to the stage and do our thing, when suddenly, a few familiar faces start to act lame-ly to get my attention...It got it for sure, as well as the entire Bass section and anyone else that took their eyes off of Dan(which you're not suppose to do..haha), but it was the kind of attention that you
DON'T want to get. So I figured if I ignored them, they'd stop acting like little kids and be good like they were taught to do 16 years ago...Yeah, that sooo didn't work. I've never seen two 19 year olds act less grown-up than a 12 year old and a 16 year old. It was kinda saddening to see them do that all tryin' to be "funny", to tell you the truth.

During intermission, the little children came into the warm up room to say hey, but while they were saying hey, my Jazz Choir guy friends surrounded me and kept me safe from potentially uncomfortable situations by talking to me the entire time while IT watched.(NOTE:I didn't snub the restless wonders, just wasn't giving them praise for their behavior.) IT stared as my guy friends kept me preoccupied--they talked closer to me than they usually do, along with gentle pats on the back and sweet smiles. It had to be done, and I think it worked: IT became very quiet after that.



During the second half of the concert, my guardian angels got little glares and welcomed them with open arms. Unfortunately, mission accomplished.


It makes me sad that I need my other friends to flirt with me to get a point across, but sometimes it's the only thing that can be done and successfully prove a point. I love the routy friends, but there's a time and a place to goof off and a Dan Bukvich production isn't one of them.


It was a great concert, though. We had intense concentration and everyone just seemed to know what to do better than usual...That's how it seemed to me, anyways. I always get a little sadder after every concert because I know it's one more down...In May, we will have our last, and that's when Dan shakes the hands of those leaving, which ALWAYS makes me (and my dad) get teary eyed.




I like this whole college thing.

HAHAH IRONY!!

Today I woke up to "I wish someone would just take him off our hands..." . It was my dad talking to my mom about...you guessed it...BUBBA. Supposedly, he was barking at the lawn workers next door for about an hour and since my dad works till bout 1 in the morning, sleep's kinda important to him. Anyways, it was pretty much perfect timing. Once again, proof that God has a sense of humor better than anyone could ever immagine.

Socks and Toys ARE alive




Isn't it strange how when you need fresh, clean socks there are never any around, but when you DON'T need them, they seem to taunt you by being found in the far reaching corners of your room--and then, when you go back there to put them to use they dissapear once again? Socks and new undergarments are two things that I don't think I could ever get tired of having around...There's just something nice about a BRAND NEW SET OF SOCKS. Or the other thing, but I wont go into that, beacause that's just not something a girl should discuss on a blog. So, instead of talking about undies, I will talk about my dog, Bubba:


We had about 8 puppies to chose from, and my dad chose the one he found asleep in an old oven that was sitting outside. Bubbs was the fattest and by far the cutest. He had a widows peak like you wouldn't believe, and couldn't even get up the curb of the street until he was 3 months old. We were going to name him Odie orgininally(after the Garfield character), but he just didn't seem to be an Odie. He was dumb, cute, and a total wuss...Bubba was the only name that would do.
He was a very sweet puppy. He'd put his paws around my mom's neck when she'd carry him around and he ALWAYS had that great puppy smell until he turned about one year old and then he became "The Dog" with my mom and dad. He was a TOTAL Juvenile D. when he was older: he dug holes, he dug up the bushes, he totally wrecked my dad's pristine back yard(after 11 years, my dad's still not over that), he smelled, he barked, he chased cats with my sisters still attached to the leash, he ran away, he came back 4 days later, he tried to kill my neighbor's cancerous cat (by barking at it), he ate a tennis ball and got a bowel obstruction and almost died, which made our vet yell at us since we let him play with a tennis ball in the first place, he got hit by a car even though it barely touched his foot--he just sat and stared two days after that happened, and above all HE NEVER UNDERSTANDS THE WORD "NO"(Much like some men.)!
By the time he was 7, Bubba started to calm down and didn't care as much about as many things. The ONE thing that makes him INSANE and drives all of us that have to live with his helping insane is FIREWORKS. He absolutely freaks during the summer time because the branches of a willow tree behind us make a power line zap (which scares him) and he hates the sound of loud noises...The 4th of July is always the worst for poor Bubba, (go figure) but his third birthday, we got him tranquilizers and he didn't even notice, and every summer after that, he's a druggy till October... He hates thunderstorms too, but is actually standable during those.
Despite all his annoying little things, he's the most loyal animal you'll ever have the privilage of meeting. He'd kill anyone that hurt my mom, without a doubt. When my sisters and I would pretend to wrestle, he'd bark and growl and snap at the person doing the beating up, and I'm sure he'd still do it to this day. He's totally petrified of my dad, but man, does he love to talk to him. Dad'll say"Do ya wanna speak?" and he FREAKS OUT! He growls, and whimpers and barks and stretches and pants...He DOES wanna speak. So badly! He wants to tell dad alllll about his day and how he got scared of that HUUGE phesant outside but then how he stood up to it and made IT scared, and what he found and what he burried...But he can't, so he just gets called stupid EVEN though he learned how to shake hands at age 8...And people say you can't teach an old dog new tricks...

Now, Bubba is 10, and he will be 11 in July, and though my parents often threaten to give him to some farm so that he can run around and not be so obnoctous, I know they wouldn't. It'd be like giving away your favorite chair or baby blanket. No, Bubba's here to stay- smell and all. ♥
