Vanessa: She's full of zaniness yet knows how to have a grand time with life. Nessa's personality is energetic, abit perky yet....attractive.
Domino: He kinda reminds me of Peter Parker, only much handsomer, more brawns and seems to enjoy life.
(PS he's single)
Nikki: A total West Virgina girl with southern look, she's quite helpful with figuring out our miltiary time schedule. Kinda reminds me of me somewhat....I like her but don't know how explain that....hmm... Might ask her out...idk.
Lately I've been hangin with Vanessa and we're gettin a bit close...in fact she's sittin next to me talkin with my roomates....but...I've been hangin with a girl name Steph who I totaly relate with on many levels...

Since I'm on a posting roll for some reason, I decided this will be my next stop so that I can just randomly babble 
*warning it's a fairly long one*
I want to get a job, I'd love to get more money but I have these really stupid issues with being out and around town, I had a "scare" of sorts a year ago (a stupid one) and after that everytime I felt the same way I did before/during the "scare" I'd have a little panic attack and rush off for home. However, I now have this tea that helps with the anxiety part but I've become dependant on it, I won't leave the house to go somewhere without a thermos full of it, and additional teabag(s) if I run out of the first cup.
Thanks to the tea, I've started going back to Vancouver, and I can now somewhat roam around town. I need a driver with me so for one I can get home, and also as moral support and ultimately if I need to I have a fast way home. So that's really the only thing making me queasy about getting a job, it would reeeally help me out money wise, but I don't want to have to drag a thermos around work all day or part of the day.
I was thinking of applying at the Casino just down the road, I could probably get a job as a Server/Waiter. I have a bit of experience doing that thanks to school functions and volunteer work, and it sounds easier than being a Slot Attendant or at a Security position. But aside from what I've mentioned above I also lack confidence in myself (am I a wreck or what? at least I'm a good-looking wreck
) ha I just contradicted myself I think. So I'll clarify I lack confidence in my skills, I've always been viewed and treated as a "dumb blonde" mostly due to me tripping over things or walking into things etc. Also, I suck royally at math so if that's part of the Server/Waiter job I'd have to rethink my options or just hope that math isn't required and all I have to do is deliver the drinks.
Ok I'm done, probably rambled on for too long but oh well.

This is Disney-related, but it doesn't necessarily deal with any current topic, so I'll say it here.
I like to read older Disney articles- I love reading things that were and could have been. Remember when "Atlantis" and "Treasure Planet" didn't do as well as planned? And then DreamWorks' "Sinbad" didn't do so well. People (like Michael Eisner) thought that people just didn't want to see traditionally-animated films anymore. But "Lilo and Stitch" did very well. I think that the fact that "Atlantis", "Treasure Planet", and "Sinbad" were targeted more towards boys had to do with the poor box office numbers. Just like how "The Black Cauldron" was aimed at boys. Tweenage and teenage girls don't have a problem going to the theater to see animated films, but many tweenage & teenage boys do. Some girls (or their families) probably felt that these films were too boyish for their liking, so they passed. The fact that suits said that the reason that people were not seeing these films was due to their animation style were so wrong. I know that this is a complaint that was due years ago, but old feelings have resurfaced (and I wasn't a UD member back then), and I just wanted to say that. I got mad at the suits all over again.

I hate Disney's demographic.
They group all these things together.
Like, apparentley only preschoolers can like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto, Minnie, Daisy, Pete, Chip N' Dale, and characters to that degree.
Boys can only like Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and the Pirates and National Treasure films.
Girls can only like the Disney Princesses, Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers, and High School Musical.
Adults can only like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and all the old classics.
This.makes.me.want.to.hurl.
Stuff like this makes people not like Disney anymore. Like, there's always that phase in someone's life where they think Disney is too childish, but this makes it last longer.
This is off-topic, but that's what this thread is really here for.
Amy, could you go on DCF? It's going downhill and we need as much advertising as possible.

I was at the mall today and got hit with a shopping cart =/
Turns out some little kid was running up and down the aisle with it while his parents just stood there, I looked down and saw a baby sitting in the cart
The parents, never said anything to me as they walked by, but me being the "angry" shopper had to say something. Just as they stopped a few feet away I went over and told them off for allowing their kid to go charging up and down an aisle with the shopping cart, especially with a baby in it. They looked at me and I figured I wouldn't get more than a few vowels out of them so I stormed off and let an employee know to keep an eye on the kid.

Tic-Tac
Speaks quietly the clock
Tic-Tac
Telling the second that the first has gone
Tic-Tac
Walking trough the air, with an amazingly easy step
Tic-Tac
But heavy at the same at any ear that hear
Because it seems that in two weeks many eons had rushed, covering with silver spiderwebs all around and dusting every memory it exist. Yes, happiness is present too but a light one, because even when it put a smile on your face it doesn't make your heart to grow(which it seems to had become anorexic of love)
Days that, even so clouded that make even the sun to shiver; with of course an eventual rain seems for the first time to sadden my soul, or at least they had made of the solitude not only my shadow but my most trusted company. It doesn't matter if I try to escape reality with the TV, go shopping or on the hospital, while driving or even when I drink a cup she's there: The complete and fully solitude.
Of course there's also my mom and my sister Paulina, but both are so lost in their own universe to even think on what's going on; Because you see for them the only important matter now is Paulina's graduation. Everything else who doesn't fit or can be called shoes, clothing, champagne or party it's irrelevant.
My friends, in the other hand are joyful...on some vacation, working or with their family(because almost all students of my career are foreing ones) and of course with their mate...
Paola...well..it's complicated also; Or at least is what I think, perhaps it's only my mind drowning on a mere glass of fear to walk a never-walked path of the couple's life...or if it's dangerously approaching to the one I took when Claudia's
Tic-Tac...
No matter which the music is or the place I go, it' voice far away of leaving still keeps coming along...slowly...silent
It's futile to hide inside the market, on the zig zag while I'm driving; Even inside a sea of people or lost on the most unknown places of life it somehow get a way to find me...
There's no voice so loud or mighty sound that hide his when approaching, no matter if I yell or if I run, the fight or hide...Whatever I do or wherever I go his sound is tattooed on my mind making this torture my whole life

I'm so stressed these last few days all thanks to a guild on the computer game I play
Lately our GM's (leader and co-leader) have been completely absent from being online. Us Officers (equivalent of a UD Mod I'd think) are completely overwhelmed because we have 450 members and half of them are whiny little brats that want things handed to them or they talk in such butchered spelling on purpose. We can't do anything about it because we aren't allowed to kick anyone out of the guild Members are also stealing things from out bank and abusing their privleges, yet all we can do is slap them on the wrist with warnings. The members don't give us the respect our position deservers, I've been ignored many times while trying to deal with problem people. Anytime we tell the leaders what's going on they just take it under advisement and do nothing. They continue to let people recruit more members when we have WAY too many and can't even handle the ones we have, never mind adding more each day.
Our guild lost a lot of members and a lot of good officers because of this a few months back. Although that was due to new rules being put in without us being consulted.
So yeah lots of stress, I want to help make all the problems right but everything I try goes wrong. I'd hate to leave because the leaders are really nice people but bad at the leadership thing right now.
That's my long rant like babble

The Evolution of Teaching Math Since the 1950s
Teaching Math in the 1950s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price.
What is his profit?
