| Farewell Spring Break |
[Mar. 21st, 2009|02:29 pm] |
Quite possibly the best mid-air jumping picture ever. We know how to party at G-ma's houze!
Any other young person may think I wasted my spring break, but truthfully there was nothing I would have rather been doing than sleeping and hanging with my g-ma. Despite popular belief, some 21 year old college students don't want to go to Mexico and get drunk for a week. I'm sure I will be hearing a lot of stories about said vacation destination when I go back to class on Monday. Boring. Nothing compares to drinking tea and doing yoga with my grandma.
Aaron and I have been cooking good food and watching all of the Lord of the Rings movies this weekend. I never realized how ambiguously gay Sam and Frodo are. I guess I would probably bond to someone in that situation too. If I had to save Middle Earth...
By the way, don't waste money on Watchmen. Worst movie. |

Thank you to everyone who came to Aaron's birthday party. It was really last minute, but he told me later that night that it was the best birthday he could remember and that's all I wanted.
Today, I was watching TV and this commercial came on...advertising window blinds that move up and down with a remote control. Then, the next commercial was for some microwave meal in a bag. It depicted a loving wife taking a bag out of the freezer for her husband, microwaving it, and then feeding it to him with a smile on her face. How lazy have people become? I can't think of any reason why a person should be unable to pull a cord to open the blinds. If it's really so hard to put so much energy into opening the window, use curtains instead. They only need to be pushed to the side. And since when is it acceptable for a woman (without kids in the commercial) to put a bag in the microwave and call it good. Is it so hard to make dinner anymore? Really? |

Walmart developed my panoramic film and printed it on some huge billy bass paper. Just a little something to shake up my day. Thanks Walmart. You're good for something besides obese employees that can't tell you where anything is and angry moms that somehow block the entire isles with their carts.
This is what has been happening on the school front:
When I am not busy trying not to stare at my newly gigantic breasts or peeing every 15 minutes, I am trying to exert mind over body control of my hormones that now cause me to want to cry every time I see something sad happening to a patient. Which is almost always. Like today, we rolled this man over onto his IV arm and it ripped out and bled everywhere while we were sticking a tube up his anus. Sad I know. I had to take a breather to stop from getting teary. How pathetic. And for someone who cries once a year this is a little disturbing.
Speaking of breasts...I wonder how many nicknames there are for this special part of our anatomy.
Boobs, hooters, jugs, knockers, dirty pillows, cha chas, the twins, chesticles, titties, honkers, fun bags, mounds... |

There are certain things that have been keeping me content during these last weeks...months (?) that I have been neglecting writing here.
Drinking Chai Mate tea with soy milk. Lots of it. At LEAST one cup a day, preferably more.
Taking pictures but not getting them developed out of pure laziness.
Getting mail from my new penpal Morgan! ( http://www.polarose.deviantart.com )She sent me some polaroids she took and it seriously made my life.
Getting a Thomas Hammer vanilla latte and buying lots of books with my love when he comes home on the weekends.
Playing World of Warcraft. ALmost level 44.
Eating animal crackers. I bought a 1.6 lb bag of Jungle Book animal crackers at Walgreens last weekend because the bag says "WOW! ONLY $2" and it's been nourishing me ever since.
My childhood chalkboard that I took home from my Dad's house. It will live in my office now and hold long to-do lists because I forget everything if I don't write it down.
Daydreaming. As usual.
I've been spending a lot of time feeling awkward at school. I feel like we are pressured to make friends with everyone, absolutely everyone, we have class with and to be honest, I have been so lethargic and antisocial since the new semester started, I don't want to make friends. I start to wonder if people think I'm a bitch, but then I realize I'm too tired to care. |

Winter break has been, for lack of a better word, good.
Sleeping until noon, never-ending Assassin's Creed marathons, John Hurt movies, and big meals.
I'm still feeling like I haven't achieved the full experience because I've been snowed in for two weeks. Little Blue Jaque just sits in my driveway, buried under 3 feet of snow, looking really sad and unused. Snow...I bite my thumb at you.
Here is a short pictorial account of my adventures in chronological order:

| Myspace stalking got boring after a while... |
[Dec. 27th, 2008|01:23 am] |
Everyone has their profiles set to friends only, so I can't stalk old friends/boyfriends/enemies anymore. What's up with that? Now what am I supposed to do on those lonely nights that I have so often?
Aaron and I dug the Legos out of storage and played until 1:30 AM the other night. He made generic boy things like race cars with flames coming out the back. I made a death cart that is pulled by slaves and has shotguns mounted to the front and skeletons hanging off the sides. We battled and I say my death car won, but he disagrees.
Now
My house is cold, dark, and quiet. Too...quiet. I spent the last few hours watching Takashi Miike films but I stopped watching Itchi the Killer because a sorta-spectacular-somebody owes me an Itchi watching night. (I haven't forgotten)
Well the moral of this story is:
Don't watch Audition, and Itchi the Killer before going to bed or you will be up until god knows when in the morning. And if you're me, have bad dreams while you're at it.
Why do I do this to myself? Maybe I am actually a sadist.
Yes. True. I'm going to watch more later. |

Thank you Jake, for showing me the means to procure any movie I want.
My new favorite is The Naked Civil Servant, a biography of Quentin Crisp.
Silly silly, but oddly inspiring, man.
Amazing.
My day is complete now.
By the way, if anyone wants cookies, come to my place. I have been baking like the killyard gangstaz that have lunch on my sidewalk.
Get it... Ha. Ha.
I will make you lunch too, if that's more your thing. |

Lately I have been feeling complacent about school. It could have something to do with being so close to the end of the semester. I have been lazy, but not worried about the outcome. It just doesn't bother me as much as it used to.
There was this amazing documentary on PBS yesterday about the Chinese cultural revolution in the 50s and 60s. It inspired me to stop stressing about trivial problems and do things that I love.
Last night I had the hardest time sleeping. I kept having wild imaginative daydreams about scary guys with white jelly eyes and medicine-selling witches. It was like the times that you have a dream and wake up, and when you fall back to sleep the dream continues, except backwards. Every time I woke up, my daydream continued. |

I developed some film from the 99 cent panoramic camera I got at Value Village. I would say it was worth the money. Most of the pictures were taken while I was riding my bike to school or other places. Except the one of Aaron sticking his head into the wheel well of his truck. The best part is that he wasn't posing. He was looking inside to check for something and I thought it would be a good time to snap one. Woo!
Today was a nice day because I bought some dental tools and cleaned my teeth for a while. They feel so good. You don't even know.

I haven't been feeling well lately. To cheer myself up I like to draw pictures of pretty men. It's just my thing. Okay? This is Julien, whom you have already been introduced to. He speaks broken English, never brushes his hair, and works for some shady characters. His hobbies include cooking-knives and being sad. He has been keeping me company today. Not very good company I might add.
Now I'm going to take some taters and skin them alive, shove my antibacterial hands into the ass-hole of an unsuspecting turkey to rip its guts out and donkey punch some flour into a ball of dough to incinerate it in my 400 degree oven. Be afraid food, be afraid. |

Today my instructor canceled clinical conference so I had a bunch of free time. I went and got "advised" which means the counselor told me I need to get more immunizations before next semester, and that I need some elective credits. I was done in 15 minutes. What a waste of a 30 minute bus ride. My options for electives are pretty bleak too. Advanced cardiac life support? It's the one they require for nurses that want to work in the ER...so I guess it's a good choice for me...
To take advantage of the hour of sun today I went on a bike ride and took some lame pictures in the park. It would have been nice to have some company. Everyone has to be responsible and have jobs. After sitting on the ground taking pictures of myself and picking up acorns for a while, I realized there was some guy sitting on a bench across the park watching me. I thought he was weird. He probably though I was weirder. Also, some more weirdos drove by and opened the door to their truck just to scream at me. Why do people do that? I don't get it. They didn't say anything, just screamed.
Since Aaron has been in Seattle, I have been watching nothing but French movies. Last night I watched "La Moustache". I liked it, but I was hoping for the story to resolve, then the credits came and I was still confused. Good old French movies...never making any sense.
Now I think I'm going to play Final Fantasy XII until I have to go to clinical. My coolness just leveled up. |

| Once you go to South Hill...you can never leave |
[Nov. 9th, 2008|11:02 am] |
Last night Aaron and I decided to have an impromptu photo shoot in the fog. In the fog. On SOUTH HILL. There were beasts roaming the streets of Manito park. They are ruthless beasts of grand proportions that feast on the flesh of the sad souls that find themselves wandering there. The creatures have names...names so horrible I can barely mutter the words...but I will share this secret to warn future generations from traveling in the fog on South Hill. The creatures that have no regard for human souls are called...RICH PEOPLE!! Please don't laugh or disregard this message as cockamamey. I do not lie about the horrors that happen on South Hill. The following is graphic evidence of our survival in this evil place.

What an imaginarily exciting week this was. The true meaning being that there was nothing eventful happening except these really weird dreams I kept having. I watched a couple good movies. If you like tons of gratuitous nudity, and strange, slightly incestuous relationships set in France, watch The Dreamers. If you like seeing a man that I am secretly attracted to have a phallic alien baby birth itself violently from his guts, watch Alien. *sigh*
Life is good sometimes.
I had a bonding moment with a classmate this last week. We both showed up to clinical conference sick, and were contemplating asking for permission to go home while she was puking in the bathroom stall next to the one where I was pissing blood for the infinity-ith time that day. It was special to say the least. It brought me back to the days in middle school when I would fake being sick to my mom. But then I realized, I am an adult and I am paying to be there, so I should be able to leave if I want to.
Today I made a pumpkin pie from scratch. Real pumpkin and everything. It was pretty delicious. I got props from Aaron and Jake and that's all that matters in life. Recognition of womanly accomplishments from men. And being a better cook than the mother-in-law.
p.s.
Don't tell anyone. |

This guy up here, he is pretty radical. I made him up and he goes like this:
Carries a big pole with a something on the end that cuts heads off. Immediately my mind is drawn to zombies but alas, that is not what this weapon is intended for. He is a chauvinist, I think to hide his insecurities about looking so incredibly feminine himself. He doesn't bathe or dress himself although his arms are perfectly functional. He hides in the forest sometimes and survives on the mutilated bodies of woodland animals. I think I will make a movie about him someday, but until it happens, he will live in my imagination.
In the real world:
Today Anthony and I decorated my house for Halloween. It looks spooky. Cobwebs all up in the hood ya know what I'm sayin? School is improving vastly. The same teacher that wrote me up gave me a fantastic midterm evaluation today. Said that I am excelling beyond other students. Since I live for a good competition, this was good news. He also ripped up the pink slip. Apparently he never put it in my permanent record. He had anticipated ripping it in my majestic presence some day in the future on the day he filled it out. He also gave me the day off from clinicals. I miss it a little, but then again....
I lost some weight with Wii Fit. Funnest exercise ever. My goal is 11 lbs in 1 month. We'll see how that works out. Get it...WORKS OUT!?? HA. ha. ha. |

The kidneys may also compensate by excreting more H ions and making more ammonia.
Ha! I tried to copy-paste an HTML link for a rad picture and that text showed up instead. Ah, physiology my other love forever.
That's more like it.
FOR LISA, my bosom friend, cupid, and fellow radio talk show host.
I added another beautiful artwork for our imaginary friend book.
For those that don't know, it's me, Sephy, and Lisa. Listening to SCARY stories because Sephy can't tell a happy story. It's just not what imaginary friend villains do, you know. I drew myself hiding in my blankie because that's just how it goes. It reminds me of the beginning of The Grudge, when the...grudge.?..is chasing that woman and she runs into her apartment and hides under the covers. I laugh so much.
Today is CLINICALS. YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!
And I am highly caffeinated and ready to go.
Life updates:
I might get to go to live in Seattle for 5 weeks and work in Harborview Medical Center next semester!
Aaron decided he is growing his beard out until January 1. This should be interesting. |

But I can think of this picture. That is making me laugh a lot. How was it possible for Priscilla to be making that face AND Aaron making THAT face all in the same picture?
Ahhhhhh dayum!
Today was my first day of clinicals. I felt so cool riding the elevators with the nurses in my scrubs and pink stethoscope.
I also felt cool when my teach told me my med calculation exam was PERFECT. Yeah that's right. Perfect.
I was at St.Luke's for 9 hours today and I'm so excited I can't even think about what I was doing that was so exciting.
I bathed some patients and realized that I AM okay with touching people!
I changed catheter bags. I cleaned bodily fluids. The respiratory specialist on site favored me and let me do respiratory therapy on this guy who I loved so much! He is southern, has cool tattoos, and is just great in general. I can tell I am already crossing the nursing line and getting too attached to my patients. I don't know how to NOT get attached to people. Especially when I am basically doing everything for them. We have a lot of time to bond.
.........sigh
I love nursing school.
Especially the part where it's 11 pm, I have an exam in less than 10 hours, haven't studied, didn't sleep last night and most likely won't sleep tonight. No, I actually do like that. It makes me feel all nursely inside. It's strangely comforting knowing that all my clinical mates are doing the same exact thing tonight. IN IT TO WIN IT!
NURSE POWERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! |

One month into nursing school.
I have:
1. Had a mental and emotional breakdown
2. Had a pink note put into my permanent record (bad)
3. Been threatened failure
4. Been told that it seems like I "just don't connect with people"
All the while wondering what the hell I am doing there. |

I had an hour so I got a roll from my Holga developed. I don't think I ever want to get my photos done by Supercolor again. I think there has been once...ONCE that I brought my film in to get developed and there wasn't something wrong. The chemicals are messed up, or the machine is broken, or they don't call me to tell me my pictures are ready, or I have to wait because they aren't ready when they tell me to come back. The manager needs to hire some competent workers and buy a printer that actually works because they just lost a customer.
In school I learned how to bathe a patient, and brush/floss for them. Uhhhhhhhggggggg. I hope I never have to brush someone's teeth. I would rather be holding guts that are falling out of a body, or cleaning brains off the hospital floor.
Also, my gerontology teacher told us today "If you aren't comfortable touching people, this isn't the right place for you."
I like touching people. I think.
