So after all this searching for a host and such (which meant emailing a whole lot of people), I found that actually buying space (essentially becoming a host) is not costly at all. Especially if you buy minimal space (See: 50MB). So that's what I decided to do. Ataraxy and I are becoming good friends. I just submitted the crap before I went to class, so it will prolly take a couple of days to get it all straightened out and up and running. But then I should be all set. I could even host people if I want to. I think I eventually will, but for now I need to concentrate on building my own content.
Rest of the day is looking chipper.....gonna go work on my monkey paper, then dinner, then debate (judge training) then come back here...possibly do more work on the paper depending on how much I get done now, possibly start working on a new layout for the site, maybe a new quiz...we'll see. Then I'm heading to the gym with Crystal later in the evening...so that should be good. Read some more of Cosmo (which I have managed to hide from the girls on the floor for a little while this time....last month my Cosmo would just mysteriously disappear from my desk at random intervals....not that I mind, Ladies, but I need a glance first). Night court later...sure why not...depends on what time we get back from the gym....
Oh and by the way....a comment or two would be nice.

I just don't feel like moving today. No, I'm not sick, I'm just lazy. BAHH. I woke up, not wanting to get up, but the promise of bagels downstairs lured (sp?) me out of bed. I really just feel like going back to bed. But I have some serious monkey business to deal with. I really think this paper is going to be the death of me. I think I'm going to literally die in a bowl of monkey soup. I'm almost done with my outline thingy (just one more species to go). Then I think I will start trying to write the paper today. Yes. Maybe. ICK! It's so sad how little I could potentially get done today due to how lazy I'm feeling. Isn't Sunday supposed to be the day of rest anyways?
Home in a week and 2 days. Mixed feelings about that one. I dunno. I'll feel more detatched than I did on Columbus Day weekend, that's for sure. But this time I get to be home even longer. Good? Bad? Ugly? I don't know. I'm pretty excited to see everyone though. Last night was a bitter reminder that home friends are still the best thing. We were all gonna go to Rocky Horror together, but Caitlin's home friend Julie called and said their other friend Kat was in town, so she ditched us (can't blame her, right?) and Cara's friend Danielle was here from home, so they smoked up before hand and showed up late wicked stoned and freaked out. So it ended up just me and Crystal. Then afterwards we just hung out in her room, reading Cosmo, watching TV, and ironing. It was a fairly enjoyable night. But just a reminder that if any one of us were given the chance to hang out with some home people, we would probably drop most things. Just a realization that was a little depressing.
When I was trying to fall asleep last night I could hear the girl next door yelling at her boyfriend to move his feet (they were obviously finding it difficult to find a comfortable sleeping position). What I would give for Doug's feet to be in my way....
Well this has been a completely melancholy entry. Sorry about that...

Ick! I ate soooo much candy last night...lol. We went and saw Jackass. SO HILARIOUS. I seriously laughed my ass off. It was soo funny. Wow. But I really think I've gained a lot of weight in the past couple of weeks. I haven't been very good about going to the gym and I've been eating way too much. BAHH. I should just stop complaining and go to the gym, which I seriously plan on doing today. OK!
Oh so did you all hear that we're gonna die? Well at least I'm going to, being in a big city and all. Yeah apparently Osama thinks we needs to "suffer and die" as his people have. Yeah. Cry me a river Osama. And then fall in it and drown.
Oh so I need to get hosted. I have the domain and stuff. But like I'm sharing 10MB of free space with my dad. I just don't want to have to worry about it. Ya know? Yeah, so I've groveled at someone's feet. lol...We'll see what comes of it. If not I'll have to go into serious "please, please, please" mode. Oh well.
I get to go home in like a week and a couple of days. YAY Thanksgiving. Whoo hoo. I pretty excited.
What else? Eww I need to do some serious monkey work today. Hey, I get to monkey around. lol. Alright, yeah.

Dude, sometimes....GRRR. I dunno, I'm just having a grr-ish day. It's not like anything happened. I think it's just because I'm getting my period. I just have a lot of work to do on my paper. And I spent a good three hours in the lounge doing it. But I just don't feel like I got enough done. And I really want to go to the gym, but I really don't want to at the same time. ICK!
Maybe I'll just work out in the room. BAHH!! (Sidenote: Hey, Ask Jeeves has spell check, would you look at that.)
Bahh, Laura from across the hall is fighting with her boyfriend. They fight every day and all they do is just swear at each other. What kind of a relationship is that really?
I dunno. It's none of my business, but it's all I can hear right now. Ick the internet is being really slow right now. Poo.
Don't know what I'm doing tonight. Everyone is just kinda mummering (is that a word?) about it. Some sketchy guy told Caitlin and Drunk Laura to come to some club tonight. They were like "Uhh, not so much." I would be up for just chillin' (lol...that's all I'm ever up for really). I mean, I suppose I might be up for an evening in Manhattan, but I don't really know. Sometimes that all just requires so much effort. And my crampage is making a night in sound sooo much better.
I'm trying to find a tutorial on custom 404 pages. I found one like yesterday, but I don't remember where! Ahh! Oh well.
I shall continue to try and do more school work than work on the webpage. And I shall continue to fail...

Hey y'all. Guess what? If you didn't notice all ready, I added "Fun Stuff" to the site. Wallpaper for y'all. And today I made my very first quiz!! Thanks to the tutorial on Rainbow Boxers, I finally figured it out. So go take my first quiz. There'll be more to come....and they'll be more interesting and creative.
So yeah. Took my music history quiz today. That went ok. I think I only got a couple wrong. Then I went to the library for a while to work on stuff. Then politics. BORING.
Then Caitlin and I went to Rite-Aid and the grocery store. That was fun. Well the walk back wasn't. It was all long and we were carrying heavy bags. But it was good times.
We're just hanging and watching TV. I don't really feel like going out tonight, so I don't think that will happen. ::laughing...Friends is funny
:: Gonna take a shower in a bit. Then try out the new velcro rollers I just bought today. Yummmm, our room smells good. We bought an air freshener, because before it just smelled like lots of food.
So I went to the Debate meeting last night. I hadn't been in like a week or so. Everyone was acting as if I came back from the dead. It was just annoying. And the girl who said she would partner with me this weekend decided to change her mind. So I can't go. I dunno. It just kind of bugged me. But next weekend should be fun. We're hosting our own tournament, so I get to judge. That will be fun!
Alright...

Ooops! I slept through Theology....
Oh well. It felt good though and it's not like I do anything important there anyways. Ok so did you notice all the improvements I made to the site yesterday? No working on the site today. Bad Laura Bad
. I need to do some school work today.
I haven't been to a debate meeting in a while. People are starting to as me if I'm still a member. lol. Oops. I'm gonna go tonight and hopefully they'll still let me debate this weekend. I sorta want to debate this weekend and sorta don't. It's like, in the beginning I was all excited when I joined debate because it gave me something to do on Mondays, Wednesdays, and the weekends. But now I've made good friends and I kinda wanna stick around here to see what's the what. Hmmmm...We'll see.
My stomach is a grumbling, and I gotta go to the gym. I was waiting for Caitlin to come up here. But maybe she thought I wasn't going since I wasn't in theology. Hmmm. Guess I'll just mosey on over there myself....

Hey hey....well lookie here...the internet in the library is faster than the one in my dorm. Bastards!! Hee hee. Well at least I know to come here when I need to do some major uploading or something. SO that's good. I'm actually gonna be adding some funner stuff to my site bit by bit....so keep checking. The button wall is going up after I finish this entry. But then I have to work on my paper. That is why I came to the library. lol.
So Crystal's birthday dinner was fun last night. We (Me, Crystal, Caitlin, Laura, Cara, and Liz) went to Arthur Ave. and ate some very good Italian food at Giovanni's and they gave Crystal a Tera Misu (sp?) with a candle in it. How Cute! So that was fun times.
Oh oh oh. Finally got a new screen name. I was sitting by the phone listening to our gizillion voice mail messages so I was at Caitlin's desk. So I'm like, "I wonder if it would work on her puter...." AND IT DID! I don't get it. But anyways. It's LauraDotHTML. YAY!
Dude, some asshole took my damp laundry out of the dryer yesterday before it finished drying. Asshole. That was very rude. Didn't make me happy.
Got a letter from Doug today, that did make me happy......
