SDROWSSAP
For the "Fritz" entry you must know who came before nikkipikkel, he was a rather accident prone individual and we haven't heard much from him lately. I believe he is still circumnavigating the globe in a hot airballoon, but no one knows for sure.

For the "fucking bastards" entry the password is a number. The number of voices in my head.

For the "Whore" entry the password is the official name of my first hamster. Now I called him a lot of things but the name I'm looking for is also the name of his father. . . (this should help weed out all of the ppl that don' pay attention- you guys are undeserving )

For the "I think he likes me" entry all you need to know is what my favorite drink is. All lower case if it matters. For those that know me this should be easy. And for those of you that actually saw this little module, props to you too for checking out the whole page.
the guys side of the story
Monday. 12.1.03 12:10 pm
Finally,  the guys side of the story.

      We always  hear "the rules" from the female
side. Now here are the  rules from the male  side. These are our rules!
Please note...these  are all numbered "1"  ON  PURPOSE!

      1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big
girl. If it's up,  put  it down. We need it up, you need it down. You
don't hear us complaining  about you leaving it down.

      1. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or
the changing of the  tides.  Let it be.

      1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no,  we are
never going to think of  it that way.

      1. Crying is  blackmail.

      1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on
this one:   Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious
hints do not work! Just say it!

      1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost  every
      question.

      1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help  solving it.
      That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are  for.

      1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a  doctor.

      1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible  in an argument.  In
      fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

      1. If you won't  dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect
      us to act like soap opera  guys.

      1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.   Don't ask  us.

      1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the
      ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other   one.

      1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it
      done.  Not both. If you already  know best how to do it, just do it
      yourself.

      1. Whenever possible, please  say whatever you  have to say during
      commercials.

      1. Christopher Columbus  did not need directions   and neither do we.

      1. ALL men see in only 16  colors, like Windows default settings.
      Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a  color. Pumpkin is also a
      fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

      1. If it  itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

      1. If we ask what is wrong and  you say "nothing," we will act like
      nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but  it  is just not worth the
      hassle.

      1. If you ask a question you don't want  an answer to, expect an
      answer you don't want to hear.

      1. When we have to  go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is
      fine...Really.

      1. Don't ask  us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to
      discuss such topics as  baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster
      trucks.

      1. You have enough  clothes.

      1. You have too many shoes.

      1. I am in shape. Round is a  shape.

      1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the
      couch tonight, but did you know men really don't  mind that, it's like
      camping.

      Pass this to as many men as you can - to give them a  laugh.

      Pass this to as many women as you can - to give
them a bigger  laugh!!

I was talking with a friend the other day about those missionary agencies that send people to 3rd world countries to help teach the kids there and build homes. I talked about someday adopting a child from a 3rd world country and bringing him here. She asked my why I would adopt a child from another country and not here. I told her that the child that was born in the United States already has a great start on life. That child has every opportunity available at his or her fingertips. As for the 3rd world child, he has nothing. At very least I would feel that I would be making a bigger difference in the life of 3rd world child than in the life of one lucky enough to be born on this soil.

Her father was hospitalized last friday. We were suppose to go to a formal event but I wasn't sure if I should go without her. I didn't want my other friend to think I was only going because of my first friend. But I figured that I couldn't do anything for her anyway so I went. I had nothing to say. No words of comfort. I can't even imagine what she is going through. I want to send her flowers or chocolates. I want to take her out to dinner or to the mall. But that all seems trivial. Ridiculous that any of those things would make her feel better. So what do I do? Wait and Listen and Be there when she calls? Ok, I can do that.

On another note, he called and left a message, wishing me a Happy Thanksgiving and to see if I was busy over the holiday weekend. Luckily i'm uber busy or I just might have called him back. Don't worry, I'm not planning to call him or see him.

Fortunately enough Andi will be coming back one last time and she has a way of taking my mind off things. I'm so excited!

What a boring entry

Square Pegs and Question Marks
Sunday. 11.23.03 3:49 pm
Once again my mother has decided to move things around the damn house. Actually I'm the one moving most of them- shelves, books, tables, plants, beds, boxes, animals, chairs, computers, tvs . . . And to top it off, my grandma is here.

She's mad at me again. I'm not quite sure why. Wednesday she got a call from the computer lab at school saying that they found a cell phone and the number they called was listed under Mom's Cell. But she didn't even tell me that they had called or that I had lost my cell. Seannie told me on line Thursday afternoon. I don't think that's it though. She was upset with me before Wednesday. I know she doesn't like it when I go to the gym late at night. She's convinced that I will be raped and murdered or that I'll gt into a car accident. Usually as I leave the house she'll say something like, "If it is really worth your life." Is going to the gym really worth risking my life? WHAT RISK? I have done so much shit that she knows nothing about. And I came through all of it without her. Without her support. without her advice. without her interest. Even in high school she didn't think I could start a club that people would be committed to, I guess she was right about that. But was that on me or on my classmates? Why did she make me feel like it was all my fault? That it was one more thing I could add to my list of failures? The one thing I love aboput my NASA Internship is that I found out about it all on my own. I sent in the application. I wrote my own resume and went to workshops to polish it. She may have driven me to the interviews, but it was me answering questions, it was my skills, my personality. I opened my own bank account, I pay for my own gas and food. She doesn't think I'm saving anything- Hell I have money put aside for retirement already.

I should prolly get a job lined up for next year. My internship ends in December. I can't support myself witout a job.

I can't recall my mother ever telling me that she believed in me. That she thought I could accomplish anything on my own. She reminds me that I am independent, that I always have been. But what does that really mean? I've always relied on myself because there was no one else there for me to rely on. Except my friends. But I don't live with my friends. You could argue that I don't live with my family either. Did you know I'm the only Pascual in the house. Everyone else carries the last name Arce. Seannie use to be a Fennely, but mom had that changed when Seannie was still very young. Why wasn't I made an Arce? I'm also the darkest and have the straight hair. I'm a square peg in a house full of round holes. I am the question mark.

I wish I could hate her. I wish I could make a difference in the way she sees me. I wish I didn't have to wish for anything.



It is cold in this house


and lonely

huh?

You guys were right, I should have done speech and debate in high school. I'm not very good at conveying my thoughts or opinions to others except in the most blunt manners. Tact- I have no fucking clue what that is, only that I lack it. Lately I've been thinking more about politics and religion, philosophy and art, history and society. How am I suppose to make a contribution in any of these distinct yet intertwined fields? I love the sciences though. They make sense to me. They are both universal and pragmatic, characteristics I strive for. Who wouldn’t want to be universal and pragmatic? Is that a weird thought. . .

Ivy is a double major in Chemistry and Art. Ranor is doing Molecular Biology with a minor in Linguists – Nope sorry, a minor in Anthropology- I had to check his nuTang profile to verify. Agh, see, I do things like that when I’m talking to people. Trail off on to some tangent. That wasn’t even a complete sentence! Was it? Shit- now wait a minute, who the fuck cares if it is a complete sentence (besides ranor and my english major friends)? SIDENOTE: I know the word english is suppose to be capitalized and auto-formatting keeps making my little ‘e’ a big ‘E’, but I really don’t find it necessary to make my little ‘e’ a big ‘E’. Just thought I should share. – end sidenote-

The other day I refilled the gas tank and noticed how the car seemed a bit heavier, which makes perfect sense considering I put in about 18 gallons. But I want to know approximately how much heavier it got. I knew about how much a gallon of milk weighs but I figured that milk would be more dense than gasoline. So I converted my gallons into liters, assumed the density to be that of water and then convert grams into pounds. When did I start thinking this way!

Astrobiology- it is a growing field. A couple of weeks ago I went to a lecture on the Mars Exploration and more recently a lecture on black holes. Truly Fascinating. Did you know that if the Earth could be condensed down to 9mm from its current 6378km circumference, it would have the gravitational pull of a black hole?

Egad- almost 3am- I'm going to sleep, sorry for not making sense. Maybe Ill fix this when I get up. . .
