It's my Birthday!!!!YAY!!!!!

So I thought that I had written inbetween now and my apparent last post. But that's ok. I'll just have a lot, ok a bit, more to write.

Today is my birthday. I am now twenty years old. I am no longer a teenager. This is both a good and bad thing. From here I really only have one more birthday to really look foward to. Nothing really significant happens at certain ages any more. There is only one more rite of passage to experience. From here on out I work. I plan vacations around work, not work around vacations any longer. But as I grow older, I realize that there are many that have much more responsibility than I and that I would not trade places with them for al the money in the world at this point in my life. For instance, the other weekend at my cousin's 30th birthday party I was holding one of my little cousins. Harrison is only like 2 months. When an older lady whom I've met but do not know came and asked how old is he. I honestly didn't really know. He was born in September. That's all I could tell her. I got this look as if she was asking me how do you not know the age of your own son? So then I had to explain that I was holding my cousin. I had to ask other cousins and family if I really looked old enough to have a kid. Granted, they all said yes. There are so many girls out there younger than me that have children older than 2 months. I cannot even consider that part of my life. Thank God.

I kinda wish that today was my 21st birthday. Not for alcoholic reasons, but because Jason Boland and the Stragglers are playing at the Wormy Dog in Bricktown tonight. And because Cross Canadian Ragweed and Deirks Bentley are playing this weekend at Hank's Ballroom in Tulsa. Two shows I would absolutely love to see. BTW, I saw Cross had a music video on CMT the other day. Awoohoo!

So Tech beat OSU Saturday. I was ecstatic. It was only the second game I was really able to watch, and even then I only got to watch the second half. But it was a good game. Made up for last year's loss.

Saturday was also the G-D wedding. I was only able to make it to the after reception reception. But I say congrats to the happy couple.

I think that is really all I have for today. I'm kinda just waiting for my sister to got online to talk to her. So I say Good Day.

Bored

Let's see. What do I want to talk about today? I'm sitting in that Cyber Cafe at OSUOKC. It's not a bad place. Yes it is pretty full of computer geeks that play HALO all damn day but they are not bothered by me playing Texas country without head phones. So it doesn't bother me too much hanging with computer geeks for a couple hours a week. I'm able to hook up my laptop to ethernet ports which is great; however, there are only two ports. I bring my own computer but I still have to wait to use it. But it's ok.

I went yesterday to be advised before I enroll at UCO. First of all, I spent $2.50 on parking. The lady I talked to didn't know how to use a computer. Granted UCO probably doesn't get too many transfers from Tech, but that doesn't excuse one from knowing how to do a good job. I sat in this lady's office for a hour and 20 minutes to find out basically nothing. She was able to tally up credt hours for me somewhat. She was not able to advise me of what classes I should be looking for in the next semester.

Ok to the OSU losers up there. Mandingo, Fat Kid, and Rockhead........once and for all. The correct way to get your guns up is the thumb and ONE finger. If you are having problems with your middle finger extending itself I will be happy to come up there and cut it off for you. Now that that lesson is over. GO TECH!!!!!

It's another burrito......It's a quarter more in the jukebox boy plays some songs by your favorite Austin Texas band.

I've missed this music. I was listening to King Country last night when they played a Cross song. But they credited it to Great Divide. I was totally appauled. So very dissappointed. Cody Canada sounds nothing like Mike McClure.

I think I'm done typing for now. That'll do donkey. That'll do.

Organization is a good thing.....

I went to Uco yesterday to be advised before I enrolled in classes I don't need. Of course it wasn't made easy. I need to take my transcripts and go wait in a room for general advisors. First off, I don't have my transcripts I sent them in already. I'm told a copy will do. OK great. But I don't have anything to copy. I sent them in. Second of all, I'm done with basics. I need major stuff now. I would think that I should talk to someone in my dept. but what do I know.

I think that's all I have for now.

A Letter.......To be tied with a ribbon and sprayed with perfume

This post is meant for one person. I know more people read it, but here goes anyway.



I am sorry. I was down and out for a couple of weeks also. You read my away messages, and I'm sorry for being a part of causing that for you. I am hoping, now that we know where we are on this, we can move on. I will always look back with very fond memories, but I need to move on. I'm glad that you are. I don't think I'll be back for a visit. It's what seems best. I mean, neither one of us need to go through that again.
I think I'm through saying what I'm saying. Again, I am sorry.


Muah,
Elyse

Sunday

It's sunday. I just got bacl from bball practice. These girls make me laugh. Like laugh at them. They try to put together plays thinking this is what works against a man or this on a zone and they're way off. No clue. Girls. I'm thinking...wow. It's my job to know what's going to work and i'm back in my same ol' high school role. quiet Elyse who knows it all. o well, it's supposed to be fun. I just look at myself now who i was a year ago and who i was in high school and each change i made a was a complete 180 turn. I was playing intermural last year and helping coach the team. Now I'm playing in a women's league at the lighthouse with a bunch of girls i went to high school with and ......maybe it's just the people i'm around. I'm still me. I don't change the way I am. I just never cared about hangin with these girls ever. But i love playin ball.

ok i'm going to keep this short. my mom and my uncle are practicing their song for kareoke at brandy's birthday and this is just too funny. I gotta go make fun of 'em.

Don't know what to say....

Ok here's my weekly post.....not really sure what to say this week tho. It is my daddy's birthday today. I went shopping for his present yesterday and not one store had what I was looking for. I tried Sears, Lowe's, and Home Depot. The guy at Sears told me to try Home Depot. I don't like Home Depot. there was no one to help me. I know what I'm looking for but don't know exactly what it looks like. So.......uh.......yeah....no I'm not saying what it was that I was looking for becase I know my dad will read this before I'm able to give him a gift so......nananana. You didn't trick me.

So before my first class started I went to get a cappacino and muffin. I went back to the classroom and started to enjoy my breakfast. When Tim shows up. He's in my bio class later on in the day. Didn't realize it was him til he bent over leaned in about an inch from my face and 'muah.' And he walks away. He turned back to see my reaction, and I'm looking at him like what the ? so he comes back "my bad." Leans over and really kisses me this time. I'm still like what the ? and he walks away. First off I know that's just Tim saying hi. But I'm thinking that's a great start to the day. I could get used to this. O well. It just sorta surprised me.

Work is going okay....nothing exciting nothing boring just going.

I think I'm done for today...I might write something later, and then I might not....Ya never know.

Thursday's Thoughts

Ok i got a lot of thoughts goin thru my head right now so it's going to be kinda jumbled and very grammatically incorrect.

First, I am very proud and dissappointed at the same time in our state. We pass the lottery question yet we stand on some sort of moral high ground and define marraige. This does not make sense to me. How can one vote to make gambling legal without letting gay men and women marry? We have one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the nation, one of the largest drug problems, yet we think we are holier than thou and can tell people that they can't get married because it makes us uncomfortable.

So my date tuesday went alright. It went well enough to see him again. I'm just still healing. I don't think I'm really giving this guy a fair chance considering I'm healing. If you're reading this, I'm not over you yet.

I have two tests today. One I've already taken and the other I should be studying for. O well I enjoy hanging in this cyber cafe. I'm behind in my history class cause I'm trying to actually read the book and actually reading is putting me behind. O well. my professors' don't respond to any of my emails if i have a question, so it kinda makes it pointless in sending them one.

We have a President. Bush won a second term. Kerry was very sportsman like and conceded with out waiting 11 days. These next 4 years will be interesting.

I think I'm out of thoughts for now.

Todaybor Day is Labor Day

Ok it is actually Election day. A day when we as America decide who we want to make the major decisions of our country. We as citizens will vote for President as well as other important elected officials.

I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired of all of these campaigns. I will be glad when this week is over. I mean we won't know who the President is until at least Friday. I don't know if Bush can do it for another 4 years, but I do not believe that Kerry can do it at all.

State wise, I hope that Oklahomans do not vote in favor of hurting other people. Help the veterans, vote for jobs, let marraige reflect love who ever it is between, let our children have the best possible education.

On another note, I have a date tonight. Yay!! I hope this is a sign telling me that I'm getting over Patrick. We'll see how things go.

I think I'm done for now.

O one more thing........Back in the 80's people were rushing for flu shots. One company made the vaccine with a certain string of the virus that caused one man to get the flu. The man sued the company and got almost $5 million. This caused the company to stop making flu vaccines. The lawyer who defended this ill man was non other than Vice Presidential Nominee John Edwards.
Now you know the rest of the story. Paul Harvey did a better telling of the story but that is the jist of it.

In conclusion, GO VOTE.
