i had a myriad of dreams last night/this morning. most of the people in my dreams were apo people and family members.

my first big dream was another road trip with an estimated time of 56 hours on the road. i was with a road trip crew, ryan was there, and i was in my pjamas, got left behind somewhere and had no money on me, had to borrow from people.

the road trip crew, we had to go to this kind of drive-up casino, i was the driver, i hated being there, but we needed to get fast money i guess. so stacey went out to buy the tickets and we waited to see if any of the numbers matched our cards, a few of them did. a few of us, includding me went inside to claim our money, my ticket fell on the ground amongst other old tickets scattered on the ground. a big evil many picked my winning ticket up and claimed the prize, i struggled with him to get my money back. after we got out of the casino, we got our parking ticket/fee, it was $109, more than we had made from the casino. I was outraged, and angry. I drove the jeep loaded with people past the people collecting money really fast to get away without paying!!!!! So the next morning, I'm still in my pjamas without money and borrowing from people, we're at this restaurant around a big table, and they're smiling, all laughing, acting as if nothing was going to happen, then all of a sudden at the front entrrance, police come through the doors, and kelly says, oh we decided to invite them so that we could talk (about my crime). So I got busted.Oh I frogot to mention that ryan was driving on the road trip too!

then i had another dream which kind of involved my junk yard neighbor being an apo person. I was upset with the kids leaving their power wheel cars and toys in my drive way (which they do), so i went to the neighbor and told her, i also complained about her yard being so messy and that it is an embarassment to my guests who i invite over. my dad approached and tried to smile and play off our dispisement for the neighbors in friendly guestures. after that i walk along my fence, i saw a cute scene, a baby animal and its mother, but the animal was three legged , tan fur, teddy bear like animal!!!!!!!
I walked carefully through my yard, looking down, looking for snakes all around, because there are quite a few snakes crawling through my back yard.

there were many more dreams, but i learned a lesson, do not eat pizza before i sleep!

friday night i got to show off the four pack of photos that i picked up from walgreens earlier. everyone loved them! We first played apples to apples, my favorite card game, and I won the adjective cards "wise" and "mischevious", i was impressed with the wise card!! We ordered pizza and bread sticks from dominos. We had about 10 people there. We then teamed up to play cranium, the coolest board game i've played yet. we had to do certain tasks such as act out people, places, etc. or mold things with clay so that our team mates would guess what it was. or even draw blind. i had to draw a surfer blinded so that my team mates would guess it. my favorite was the 20 minute act from the club cranium card. one person from each team had to act out the person on the card. the first team to guess the right person won the card. let me describe what people did. they started to bless themselves, put their hands up in prayer, bang on walls, hop over chairs, throw water bottles, and in one extreme case (which you will smilie about in a moment) get up on the table and hump it. can you guess what the person was that they were trying to act out? nobody got it, but i should have realized what the word was when one of our brothers got up on the table... the word was MISSIONARY!!!!

walneto posted this link as a comment, I found this woman to be quite remarkable!

roseprofessor sent this to me, its pretty true!

How to know you're from "The Region":

you think anything south of US-30 is southern Indiana
you know what good pizza tastes like, and it's NOT Papa John's
you measure distance in minutes instead of miles
you understand what "lake-effect" is
you don't pronounce the 's' in Illinois and you get aggravated when people do
school isn't cancelled unless there is at least 20 ft. of snow on the ground
what's a sheriff?
you drink pop, not soda
you know more about what is going on in Illinois than Indiana
you like White Castle
sometimes you forget that Indiana has a football team
you think all amusement parks are called Great America
you're not really a "Hoosier"
you end sentences with unnecessary prepositions
everyone else at the gas station is from Illinois


That was very cute. Pretty much everything applies to me. I did not know that indiana had a football team and don't know what team they are still! I agree strongly with the papa johns statement, it sucksss! Do you have pap johns pizza out there? Oh it tastes barely like pizza. Yes, I understand that there is a lot of lake effect snow! I don't get annoyed when people mispronouce illinois, i just laugh. the 20ft of snow statement is an exaggeration, but school usually doesn't get cancelled unless there is at least a good 3-4 ft on the ground. I have no idea what a sheriff does. the pop statement is true. soda, is a term of the south! i hear more about chicago than indianapolis, its like another world down there. why don't they have us in illinois instead of indiana? just make a ring state around the lake! Great America isn't THAT popular. nobody uses the hooiser term. i'm not entirely sure about the preposition thing. maybe some folks do, but not I. in my city (which is across the border from illinois) you betcha there are illinois folks buying cheaper gas, cigarettes, and legal fireworks.

yeah i now have an academic reference. i can reedit my reference and resume and go to the career center monday to finish hopefully, then i can start sending out my revised resumes! oh, i need to work on cover letters now!

Saw this in walneto's journal

Your Livejournal Analasys

Your Livejournal's Age

According to the information you provided, your Livejournal was created on 2000-05-31, meaning that your journal has been around for 954 days. What does this mean?

You are something of a dinosaur on Livejournal, having been around for over 2 years. You might even have one of those early adopter accounts. You probably joined Livejournal long before most of your friends, long before it was as popular as it was today. As a result, you are something of an icon in the community, and more than likely well known. Don't let it get to your head, or are you already bashing those poor newbies?

Your Livejournal Friends

Now let's talk about your friends list. You indicated that you have 80 LJ friends.
You have something of a large friends list, and let's be honest, you probably don't really read them all, do you? Okay, so your journal has been around, it's to be expected that you have a fairly large friends list. Some of these people might have been names you added at some point in the past, but you can't really remember why. A good portion of these journals are probably from people you only know in passing, and you don't really consider them friends as much as friendly folks.

You also have been listed as a friend by 46 users.
That's a decent amount of people paying attention to your journal. By now your journal is fairly well developed, and so is the list of people who watch it. You've kept your journal interesting enough to keep your friends watching, as well as a few people that are sure to have picked up on it randomly along the line. You might get a few more followers as time goes on, but hey, you are right where it's expected.

Finally in this category, you have a friends to friends-of ratio of 1.7391304347826.
This is a relatively high ratio, meaning you add quite a few more people than have added you to their friends list. This may be a sign that you tend to add people fairly randomly to your list, although there is also a good chance that you simply do not advertise your own journal much, and don't expect too many people to be adding you back.

Your Posting Habits

You have indicated that to date, you have made 2744 entries into your Livejournal. This gives us an average post rate of 2.8763102725367 posts per day.
You are posting more than twice a day, making you quite the busy and avid LJ user. You don't hesitate to make your daily updates, telling the world what's been going on, and you may even update a few times in the day. More than likely you are throwing in webquizzes and random thoughts from time to time, and you might even see it fit to hop on to the computer and update with every little mood swing you encounter!

Your Commenting Habits

According to your information, you have posted 1154 comments and have recieved 2694 of them over the lifetime of your journal. Let's see what this information can mean.

First of all, this indicates that you have been getting an average of 0.98177842565598 comments for every Livejournal entry that you make.
You get at least one comment for every other post, and sometimes you can expect one for each entry that you make in your journal. You might think this is less than average, but don't despair. Unless you have a habit of making posts that incite comments, chances are your friends just can't think of anything interesting to say.

A more fair measure of how many comments you get might be your average number of comments per post per friend, which is 0.0122722303207. This may seem low to you, especially if you have lots of friends.

The final statistic is the ratio of your comments to comments you get. Your ratio is 0.42835931700074. The higher the ratio, the more talkative you are compared to your friends, comment-wise.

That's it for now! Perhaps there was something insightful in this analasys, and perhaps you learned absolutely nothing. Feel free to post your results on your own Livejournal, and invite your friends to take the Livejournal Analasys today!

we all live in a yellow submarine.
