icky stuff, life, apartment, Beeks
So, I had a very delightful dream last night until it turned rather sour by dog poo. In this dream my sister brought an *ADORABLE* little teacup beagle over to my apartment and I was letting it trundle about, and it was just SO cute, and then it totally unloaded all over my floor! Then to make matters worse, my sister said "Oh, that's just what it does!" and then smeared it all over the floor.
What does this all mean? I am inclined to say there is a deeper meaning in this dream. One time I had a dream where I turned into a sheep and was taken into the heavens by the Greek gods and a dream interpreter said "I needed to spend more time with my grandma." (WORST $15 I spent in Washington DC!). Could it mean I'm not getting enough fiber? Am I spending too much time at the Humane Society???

I awoke at 4 AM this morning to torrents of RAIN and claps of THUNDER! Then I suddenly remembered that the day before I had put my new potted plant on the balcony!!! It is a small plant and I didn't want it to get flooded! I rushed to the balcony and saw another unpleasant surprise!
I LEFT MY FUZZY PINK CHAIR ON THE BALCONY TOO!!!!!
Blast! Luckily, the fan I bought late last night at Wal-Mart (for the sake of airing out my fume-y apartment caused by me starting on my newest art project!) AIR-DRIED my little chair. *Phew!*
But now I need to find a new place to paint because I will be getting a new roommate soon! That spare bedroom I so wanted to turn into Becky's Creativity Hub is now off-limits and must be cleared out!! And I guess I have to learn how to share my Nintendo!

Yes! It has been nearly a month since my last post, and I have managed to grill both hot dogs AND boca burgers in this time period. Oh, and s'mores! The grill is a bit of a challenge--er, maybe it's just me--but a lot of lighter fluid was used in that tiny grill! FIRE!!! At some point I felt insignificant because my neighbor down below was grilling simultaneously on his much larger grill, but that feeling soon waned because I like smaller versions of things (like snack sized candy bars as opposed to king sized; miniature anything) and therefore think my grill is much more fun.
Some UPDATES:
- I have felt like poop more than once this month
- I have pooped more than once this month
- I played with both kitties and puppies at the Humane Society this month. One cat was the size of a beach ball!
- I have been surviving on $1 Tortino's pizzas and hotdogs
- At some point, I intend to start my next painting project!
- I watched Evil Dead this month, and feel like watching Evil Dead 2 tonight!
- I REALLY want to go shopping!
And I saw a RAINBOW yesterday! It was more like a rainbow stump because it didn't go very high. Not even an arch!
I like the new cat on my blog--or is it a mink?? Someday I would like to make my own custom style sheet, but if I can't even figure out Photoshop then I think it would be hard for me to make my own style sheet. SOMEDAY.

Ooh! So, today I noticed a tiny grill for sale at the grocery store--$10 for my own personal hot dog/BBQ chicken/s'more maker! I added it to my cart of groceries along with some charcoal and lighter fluid and then decided to make a night of it and get some HOT DOG supplies as well! I have never grilled ANYTHING before, so I really wanted to have an outdoor adventure on my balcony with this stuff!
I got home at 7:15, STARVING for some hot dogs! I took the grill out of the box!
I don't like to assemble things! At least, when I am feeling VERY hungry!
At 8, I was done assembling the tiny grill!
By this point I was too hungry to try and experiment with fire and lighter fluid. So I decided to save my first attempt at grilling for TOMORROW evening! BUT I still made a hot dog (on the stove!) and managed to play a little Phoenix Wright on the balcony!
And that was my evening!! I ENJOYED IT THOROUGHLY!

Yep, it was a real tussle, too! I was on a walk the other evening, and there were a bunch of MALLARDS going at it! Two were just rolling and tumbling and nipping (or maybe I should say beaking?), and two others were standing around quacking them on! So then I ran up to them, waved my arms and broke up the fight! I hate to see duck conflict!

As I was lugging my 20 bags of groceries up the stairs to my apartment today, I decided to check my mail on the way up--and FOUND TWO LETTERS from the Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago!!! I nearly dropped my Grade AA Large Eggs!!! I raced upstairs to my door (still juggling the groceries!) and as soon as I got inside and dropped everything on the floor, I tore open the first envelope! IT SAID!:
Dear Rebecca,
Congratulations! The Admissions Committee is very pleased to offer you admission to the Illinois Institute of Art at Chicago.
You have been admitted to the Bachelor Degree program in Fashion Design beginning 2007, Fall.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Illinois Institute of Art at Chicago. Again, congratulations!
The second letter informed me of alllll the credits from my previous BA that would transfer (about 72 hours, which will save me around $30,000!!!!!)!!!!!
AND SO there was lots of jumping around, calling friends and the parents, ETC! Mom said she was going to TRY and be excited, but she would miss me very much and that we needed to have a talk SOON about "personal safety" in Chicago.
BUT IN 6 MONTHS I WILL BE GOING TO SCHOOL IN CHICAGO!!!
AAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHasl;fkjasd;fljka!!!!!!!!!!

*PHEW!* I spent allllll weekend moving into my new apartment (mostly BY MYSELF too! But after some grumbling, my dad helped me with *some* of my furniture, at least!) But I am almost settled in! I got this nice, round, pink, fuzzy, soft chair to put out on my BALCONY for some ultra-comfy Portable Gaming--al fresco!
After some heckling and fist shaking at the phone company, I finally got my telephone working 5 days after it was supposed to start! THE ONLY PROBLEM is that it fuzzy jazz music myseriously cuts into my conversations all too often! I don't know what is going on with that! Can radio stations hack into phone lines or something?? WHAT'S GOING ON?!
EDIT: I just asked my boss about this! Apparently it is because my cordless phone is picking up a certain frequency! I wonder if it is the Bethel College Radio station! Which makes me think of if the radio show that I had while I was in college (EARGAZMO!) picked up on anyone elses' phone! Wouldn't that be teh sh*t!
Also, I can start walking to work now! That makes me really excited to NOT have to commute!!! >_<
I will post more later once I get my internet working at home! The internet at work is so poopy--I can't view or post pictures or anything!
Oh! And I painted my room "Lady in Red!" Time for a new poll, I suppose!

Beeks, treasures, life
Ooh! So, the other month I explored the depths of my basement and found many old treasures, such as my old Animaniacs lunchboxes and Super Mario toothbrush! Just the other week I decided to change it up and explore my attic! I dug through boxes and boxes of stuff and found:
- My collection of old Pokemon toys and figurines!
- Some Howliday Inn books! (these were kids books about a bunch of animals and a vampire bunny that had all sorts of adventures!)
- A small box that contains my wisdom teeth!
I hated getting my wisdom teeth taken out. I had this neon yellow bruise on the side of my face for weeks!! Plus, I was stuck in the house for a week, and that was at the point where I was sailing the seas of Hyrule in search for all those Triforce pieces. And I HATED that part. BLAH!

I am quite pleased because now I can cross off Chicago's Hancock Observatory on my list of "Famous Places Where I Have Taken a Dump." Before that, I proudly took a dump in the Pentagon. I am hoping to next go to the Vatican and perhaps the Eiffel Tower!

Over my trip to Chicago I was tagged twice by G-Off and Wiidark!! I have to quote paragraph 5 of page 123 of the book I'm currently reading! I recently bought a new book called The Conjurer's Bird, but I haven't STARTED reading it yet! So I don't want to spoil anything for me! So I'm going to take two excerpts from two of my favorite Michael Crichton books, Jurassic Park and The Lost World!
Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
Wu smiled. "I stopped counting," he said, "after the first dozen. And you have to realize that sometimes we think we have an animal correctly made--from the standpoint of the DNA, which is our basic work--and the animal grows for six months and then something untoward happens. And we realize there is some error. A releaser gene isn't operating. A hormone not being released. Or some other problem in the developmental sequence. So we have to go back to the drawing board with that animal, so to speak." He smiled. "At one time, I thought I had more than twenty species. But now, only fifteen."
The Lost World by Michael Crichton
"Not really. All the padding."
So that last quote was boring! Oh well! Now I suppose I have to tag some other people! But who should I choose??
Tanooki!
DustyButtons!
Sam! Sam with the two dots above his name that I can't figure out how to add on this post!
NoBullet!
Khadgar!
