Sorry, you have to starve, we rented a camel...
Okay, that's really not true, but it was just a minor amusement on Christmas Eve because St Robert's had a live nativity scene, including a camel (made me think of Dana!)...and Joe's response to that was "how much did that thing cost?? oh....it depleted the save the starving families budget." Okay, so it was funny at the time...who brings camels to suburban church nativity scenes??? Teehee.
ARGUH!
Had to get that out, just a bit frustrated for a minute. Just sick of stuff, that's all. I'm not going to elaborate anymore. Things have changed, that's all I'm going to say.
Well, it's almost 2005! Where's the excitement? I'm bored. Still bored. Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored....
Megan told me yesterday in her voice mail (for all the ranting about how bored I am, I have been terrible at getting voice mail messages) that her memory book came! So where's mine?? Granted, I'm guessing Indiana is slightly closer to Ohio than Wisconsin, but still. I want MY memory book! Oh well, it'll be here soon. At least it better.
Going back to the voice mail thing, it's really not completely, 100% my fault, though. I think my voice mail was programmed wrong when I switched phone numbers. Now it fails to let me know of voice messages, and half the time, it doesn't register calls either. Or text messages. The latter of the two, however, mostly happens in Ripon. But there's nothing like getting a voice message at, like, 5pm on Wednesday that was left for me around noon on Tuesday asking if I wanted to go to lunch. Yeah. Effective. Or not. So if I don't call you back, it's probably because I didn't get your voice mail. Or my phone didn't register your call, so I didn't even check my voice mail. Hey, it's been known to happen.
I think everyone should go to Milwaukee during at least one point in their lives. Now's a great time to visit, for example, because I'm here, and I'm bored. I really hope I can come up with SOMETHING to do after the new year, because, yeah, I'm out of options soon. Rargh. I'm not ready to go back to school yet, though. I'm not ready to face the senior sem, and the senior recital, and all that jazz. I'm also not ready to start job-hunting either. I keep getting asked that! "What are you doing next year?" Good lord! Like I know what I'm doing next WEEK, much less next YEAR. :) Don't mention the future to me. It makes me depressed. Well, not really, but you know how it goes.
I guess it's that I can't really go to a new city or a new state. I'm kind of stuck in Milwaukee at least for a while. Don't get me wrong, I *heart* my city, but I kinda wanted to go somewhere else. Must stop stressing, at least for a while. It's not like whatever I do post-undergrad school will be permanent (unless I'm really lucky and find something fabulous, but since I hope to be a college professor, and need at least a masters....), but it's still kind of intimidating. Anyway, I'll leave the stressing for later.
Oh, and if you have ICQ, you should add me to your list. My number is listed, uh, somewhere in my profile, I think? It's depressing to see my list still more or less empty (has everyone given up on icq??)....especially with all the extra funny conversations we used to have on icq *sniff*....ah well, I don't even KNOW anyone else who has ICQ, so if you do, it'll be a surprise. Hehe.
Ummm...have a happy new year?? I think my sister is jealous because I get to leave town and she doesn't. Bwahahahahaha! That's the benefit of being the older child - and the child who's actually moved out of the house for longer than a month!
So everyone, have a happy new year. And consider Milwaukee for your tourist attraction sometime before Jan 16. Yeah. Okay.
