I sent this to my dad. It made me grin : )

Once upon a time there was a little girl who went to a little school. Her big brother went to this little school too. Whenever the little girl wanted to go to Wally World (aka Wal-mart) her big brother would zoom over and take her on this great adventure. They had an exciting time on these outings as the yellow stripes whizzed by and the wind flooded their helmets. Being frugal college children, it was important that these little trips did not burn holes in the big brothers pockets. (Children shouldn’t play with fire.)

All of a sudden…Swirl, swish, flip…the little girl realized that soon she would not be at the little school with her big brother. What would she do when she gets a rumbly in her tumbly and needs to go to the food store? Now, the little girl’s daddy had a little white car that he could let his little girl use. But this car is a special car. It goes put-put-put down the road. It goes from home to school and school to home, but the rest of the year the little car sits. It sits and sits and sits. So the little girl could use her daddy’s little white car to get to the new big school but how is she to get to church, to the food store, or to the book store?

The little girl had so much fun when she got to ride on her big brother’s two-wheel car at the small school that she wanted to learn how to go vroom-vroom. Now the little girl’s daddy had a vroom-vroom machine too. When he was a little boy he loved to go zoom. But the little girl’s daddy never got the paper that said he was allowed to go zoom and the little girl wasn’t allowed to go zoom either. BAM! The little girl suddenly thought of the best idea ever! EVER! The little girl and her awesome dad could take the zoom class together! The little girl’s daddy could give her tips at the zoom class and the little girl can learn how to zoom like her daddy. Then once they go show their zoom papers they could have daddy-daughter time going zoom zoom. They can even go zoom with big brother!

Now if the little girl knows how to go zoom all by herself she could even go zoom around the new big school. Just like big brother the little girl didn’t want to start fires, like mommy and daddy taught them. If the little girl had a vroom-vroom machine she could prevent burning anymore holes. Not to mention she could carry her food bag and go to the food store, she could go zoom-zoom (instead of put-put) to the church, and even go zoom to the study group.

The little girl liked her idea so much that she wrote a letter to Santa. The little girl told Santa how much she wanted to go zoom with her daddy. Santa also found out that the little girl wanted to go zoom with big brother. Santa realized that if the little girl could go zoom, the daddy and the little girl could have fun adventures, but the little girl could also let the little white car sit and sit and sit.

your little girl

Three weeks left. Camp out or paper? Chill or physics? Stress or good enough? As much as I look forward to the end of the semester, there are many aspects I fear. Academics enough by themselves, some how I desire to savor/waste (depending on the company and activities) time in the social environment. TIME. Utilized? Never. To acquire: time management. selfcontrol. peace.

I couldn't resist posting something so amusing.



ATTN: THIS EMAIL TO BE READ IN ALL SERIOUSNESS AND WITH A MALIABLE MINDSET

ok dude! Obviously this Thursday is thanksgiving and I’m pretty sure it would be pathetic to spend it ON CAMPUS! Come on u know I’m right : ) so I haven't seen u in FOREVER. Ur not allowed to fall off the face of the earth! Ok, so yes u can hibernate to a healthy academic extent and hurray for ur diligence, but dude I’m thinking this is the ideal time to take a break. Not to mention it would be super fun to have u come with us to Lawton! "Like Whoa" in the words of our wise friend Sam. Ok, my take on it is that I’m going; I can get there regardless of whether u and/or Sam go or not; I’m going to have an awesome time. But the thing is, I’m pretty sure it would be silly and selfish of me to not share in this wealth of a good time, not to mention that I win if u come b/c of the contribution ur personality adds to coefficient of amusement. So as of now this groupie will consist of C-4, Rosene (who can't but help love the guy), me (who is beckoning for ur attendance as well). Note I could not realistically put Sam in that list. U see the trip to Lawton will encompass Wednesday evening and we should return to Dallas on Thursday night (no later b/c C-4 must work on Friday). So essentially the most dense period of awesome will take place during this say 26hr time period. (I think this is an adequate break from academics which will allow for a more focused and effective study on ur return.) I understand ur concern of not blowing ur whole wkend and not getting much accomplished in terms of school work. Sam has this same concern. However, she does value and desire to spend her thanksgiving with close friends. We want her to be there. The only way she can commit to attending this worth while furlough is if she has the means of coming back to school shortly after our return to the Dallas area. Do u see what’s happening here? She is at ur mercy. I know she is not willing to explain this to u for fear u'll take her explanation as just a con to getting u to take her. But consider the fact that u two are under similar circumstances. Neither of u have a scheduled thanksgiving activity, this trip to Lawton would be ideal, u both must return promptly. What is the hesitation to embark on this adventure together so that both may enjoy the escape and yet utilize the resource of time available?

All this being said, it would only be a proper invitation and request of ur attendance if I would inform u of what events could very well take place. Now as u may have heard from several LeTournites, the Lamoreux thanksgiving is not something to live without. Bildo(one of many individuals difficult to please) found an excellent time in the completive yet friendly archery. Others will never forget the familiarization with powerful firearms and our varying degrees of skill utilizing such a commodity. I know u are very familiar with C-4's interest in alcohol, as he often says this comes from a similar interest among his immediate family members. C-4 sent me an amusing email about some dialog he and his mother had concerning Thursday. I can't resist keeping this prime information from u; take a look at this...

"Jason,
Since you're the Master of drink mixers, I need your help in making
"malted mudslides". It calls for vodka, Kahlua, and Bailey's. If you
have any of those you could share with me on Thursday, let us know, so
I can plan my shopping list.
Mom"

I just happen to have all of those. I'll bring them. I'm also going
to pick up some beer. If you have any requests, let my know. I'm
going to get a hefeweizen, for sure, and maybe Sam Adams.

"Great! Bring all of those liquors and the hefeweisen, too!
Mom"

ok, I ask that u consider all of the information presented. And all reasons and excuses aside it comes down to the fact that WE WANT U TO JOIN US FOR OUR THANKSGIVING FESTIVITIES.

Have a great wk (b/c ur anticipating this exciting Thursday),
JOy

Beauty is power.

(I do realize this tends to be common knowledge among the wise, but its just so true. )

Ahhh...another Monday. I guess it's just a little difficult to get back into the swing of things after having an AWESOME wkend. So I met with my academic advisor at UTA. It was silly that something that took fifteen minutes required me to drive two hours, but I'm uber excited about next semester (for several reasons : ) I'm pretty sure I have an excellent boyfriend.

Silencing the Alarm

So I definitely slept through the alarms on my phone as well as my alarm clock. It is not like I heard the alarm and chose to ignore it or got up and turned it off. And no, neither of the alarms were set wrong or for P.M. I highly doubt both devices just happened to malfunction at the same random point in time. I think both alarms did go off according to the time set, however, the question is how they got turned off. Now some alarms go off for so long and then quit. Being that I was woken up (by my roommate) only an hour after the time set, I’m going to rule out this possibility. Once again, then who turned them off? Sam was at class, leaving only me in the room. Every time I try to rack my brain of any recollection of me getting up to turn off either alarm, I fail miserably. I have no such memory. How does this happen. If I were a warrior princess I could have been captured in my sleep and I would have never made a mere squeal because my senses were dulled to such a great extreme. Severe frustration! So, without being conscious of it, I apparently got out of bed and switched off two alarms, each fifteen minutes apart.

It seems as if my body, unbeknown to me, refused to let my brain become aware of this daily disturbance. Why should such a thing occur? My body insisting on curtailing this sleep deprivation? I mean anyone can go without sleep for a little while, before their body begins to wear down. I never felt sick or even that tired. In this case it seems as if my body just quit, just up and said “no”, regardless of my intentions. How must I gain control of such an unconscious domain? I guess simplistically speaking, I know I’m not getting enough sleep if my brain never becomes aware of the alarms going off or of my body actually getting up to turn them off.

It all comes down to the fact that I’m mortal; all efforts are in vain. I have no chouce but to submit.

oh, by the by, why must i without any intention never fail to screw with the hearts and minds of little boys?
