Gak. We took Dewey to the vet today, and he got a shot. Now he's having an allergic reaction, and his eye and nose are swollen. :(

schoolgirl



You Are a Schoolgirl!


You're not quite as wild as a "kogyaru", but with your short plaid skirt

and silly white socks, you're still a sexual fetish object.

You can usually be seen hanging out in the girly section of the video game places,

collecting photobooth stickers of you and your friends.
You may not be as innocent as you look.

Did those vending machine panties once belong to you?



What's *Your* Japanese Subculture?


Hm, well... I did get some cute things at the Sanrio store in Times Square yesterday.

I have lots to say about the TMBG show and the Jordan show. Late, later.

Oh man, I feel frustrated and nervous. I know a part of that is because I'm worried there's something wrong with my computer (one harddrive will defragment and one won't), and maybe another part is because I have concert anxiety. I love to see TMBG concerts. I do. I think this will be my 25th show or something like that, but after awhile, I got to the point, where there'd be weird nervousness mixed in with the excitement. I don't really understand it. I hate this, and I'm leaving in three hours.

Do I ever want this. It comes with a CD. Man, I want that.

Yup, TMBG was on Conan. It was neat. :)

{looks down} Hey, right now, I'm wearing clothes that are that shade of green, and I forgot. {g}

I'm thirsty.

What is my spectrum?

I am green: My main color is green. I like to have fun and comfort. Happiness is the marker of a great life.

What is my spectrum?


I own a lot of shirts and pants that are that shade of green. But I was hoping for brown.

So my monitor does crazy things, and then I fear that it's going to explode on me or something. But I'll wait til this one is completely dead, before I even look into getting a new one.

Isn't TMBG supposed to be on Conan tonight?

And I'm supposed to see TMBG on Thursday. We'll see about that.

Why is it that my computer freezes, whenever I try to defragment my harddrive? That's not going to be good for anyone.

According to The Spark's Dateable Test, I'm 67% dateable, yet 63% of the people who've already taken the test are more dateable than me.

Oh, I can't sleep. At this rate, I'll finally fall asleep at about 11 and wake up at 10pm. I really don't want that to happen. I'm tired now, but not tired enough for sleeping. Nor was I, three hours ago, when I tried to sleep then.

Those links should be updated, but I don't feel like it. I never do.

Oh, let me add a little something to that last post. You know what kind of exercise I do like? Walking. That's something I might actually do, if it were feasible. I live on a very busy street, so walking by the street makes me nervous that I'll get squashed. There are woods behind my house, and I don't like to walk through them, because it's bug city. But yeah, I like walking alone or with people through the city, on the boardwalk, or on a nice path through woods. I don't really think of that as exercise, though. I think of it more as something to do. Swimming is another thing that I like and don't consider exercise. Yeah.

I was talking about this on the phone tonight, but I'll say more here. Here's a random rant for your enjoyment or perhaps not.

Disclaimer: It is *not* directed at a specific person, so kiss it.

I really and truly hate when a person disguises an obsession for skinniness as an interest in fitness....

(Sub-rant: I am a lazyass person, and as such, I don't know what the hell kind of hobby fitness is in the first place. Why do sit-ups when you can read a book or watch a movie? Why go to the gym, when you can, I don't know, give your cat a bath? What a boring hobby that is! Collect coins or join a cult, I don't care. I'm not talking about a bit of exercise everyday and eating fruits and other healthy things or whatever or whenever. Those are good things to do. I'm also not talking about being in shape because you like dancing or swimming or chasing cars. I'm talking about, "I got a vacation from work, so that I might take a trip and sweat my ass off on a bicycle 15 hours a day for 6 days in protest of chocolate makers, because it is fun!" kind of crap (unless bike-riding is reeeeeeally important to you). Now, I admit I'm overweight and out of shape too. I also admit that I sometimes worry about my health, especially my heart. I guess I a) don't care enough to really invest the time to exercise and eat properly when there are milkshakes to drink and cheeseburgers to eat and books and DVDs and Hollywood Squares reruns that I think better occupy my time or b) am comfortable enough with my own fatness not to be driven to exercise and starvation caused by insecurity.

Eating good things and getting a little exercise it good.

Being overly into fitness is dorky.

And now back to the main rant...)

Pretending to care about health and wellness, when the main goal is just to be thin is a load of crap. I admit that I'm kind of prejudiced against skinny people, mostly because they achieve that look by stupid means and/or for the wrong reasons. If you have a crazy metabolism and are just plain thin, that's okay, as long as you eat like a person should. If you are such an insecure person that you want only to be skinny, then don't lie about it. Generally, it's easy to tell if someone is only pretending to care about their health. I mean, people who are "health conscious" wouldn't smoke, wouldn't drink a lot, wouldn't take drugs, wouldn't take diet pills (which can cause lots of unhealthy side effects, and just because you bought them at GNC doesn't make them good for you, and talk about the end justifying the means!), wouldn't sleep with people they don't know, and wouldn't starve themselves all day then for dinner have only a plate of french fries and mozzerella cheese sticks. So basically, I hate when people do that. They're superficial liars.

I was going to write more, but I kind of don't feel like it anymore. In conclusion, people suck.

Oh, and I heard that the Venus de Milo would be a size 14 in today's clothes. Not exactly relevant, but I meant to share it a month ago.

Oh, hehehe! Take this test...

You are 27% geek
You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator.

Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.


You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!


Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals!


You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

What obscure band are you?

I've heard *of* them...

You know what's weird? The training guy from the radio station called, and he said that I did, in fact, pass the test. I dunno, I kind of feel bad about it. I feel like I didn't deserve to pass, and I need to retake it, so that *I* know I can do a better job. That's dorky, I know. Bleah. The next thing for me to do is go in next week, so I can get papers, and he can tell me about what happens next. I have the feeling that I won't be able to get a shift at the station in the fall anyway, because I won't be able to get there for the daytime meetings.

Now playing: TMBG-They Got Lost (album not song)

Tonight on Hollywood Squares, some lady called Vincent Price a "terrifying pussycat."

I obviously don't have much to say. I slept all day, because there was nothing better to do. I have a clarinet lesson in almost 12 hours, and it is now too late to practice. Bleah.

Glack, I am sure I failed the test. I did fine on the written part, but when it came to the hands-on section, I totally folded under the pressure. He asked me to do the hardest part first--a 19 stop set (play a CD, read a white card, read the weather, play two carts, play a song on the computer). I got all nervous and cut off the end of the song, put some dead air in before the carts. Disastrous! I can retake it one more time. If I fail then, then I have to take all the sessions over again. Something else that worried me, because I'm a worrisome person, was the way the other guy graded me on the on air studio stuff. For the questions I got right, he wrote an X, and he wrote a check for the ones I got wrong. I'm afraid the grader (the guy who trained us and gave the production part that I messed up) will think I got only one question right.

Oh well. I know this is something I can do, and even enjoy doing. It's just that knowing that I'm being tested frazzles me.

posted by Beth at 7:32:00 PM

I'm crazy. In exactly 12 hours, I will be at my school's radio station preparing for the training test. Here's the thing, though—I haven't really studied at all this week. It's true that I spent about two hours there Saturday and worked with some equipment, so I hope I do okay for the hands-on section. But there's also a 50 question written test. I put off reading the manual all week. In the beginning of the week, I told myself to wait and read it the last three nights before the test, but then I got too tired. Tonight, the puppy and I took a 4 hour nap instead of studying. I'm telling myself that this can't be too hard. A lot of the kids who work there aren't radio/TV/film or even communication majors, and I've taken Radio II, and it has to be easier than that. I should get to work.

I got my AIM to sign on. How pleasant.

I say "pleasant" and "unpleasant" a lot.

posted by Beth at 4:47:00 AM

Another stupid entry. They come in threes. Or maybe all of my entries are stupid. I'm betting on the latter.

I'm downloading "Dandy" by Herman's Hermits (not one of their better songs, but enh...). I got about half of it and decided to listen to it, and it's Herman's Hermits minus Peter Noone. I deleted it and got it from someone else, and this version has Peter Noone singing it. This reminds me of that time my well-meaning mum bought me a Herman's Hermits tape for $5, and there were just all these background singers and no Peter Noone at all. I don't even know if they were the actual Hermits or not, since Peter is what makes the group. I never even bothered to learn the other guys' names. There's the tall guy with the cool glasses and two or three other guys. I should have downloaded the rest of the non-Peter version of the song, so I can compare them and show the world at a business meeting or something. I'm really tired.

Pfff, right now some dude is downloading the song "Kids" from Bye Bye, Birdie. I'll bet he quits, when he realizes what a crappy connection I have. You know, today at school, they were putting on a little production of Bye Bye, Birdie. That would have been fun to see. I wonder if the guy who was playing Harry McAfee would have played the character as charmingly as Paul Lynde did. Okay, that isn't possible. {g}

Say, you know what's pleasant? The fact that Ryan got voted off American Idol. I hated her from the start. I never cared for her "I wear a ripped up rag around my arm, I am a rockstar" attitude. I wish I'd seen the show where she got vioted off, but I left when it was half over to go to the movies. Ooh hoo I hated her. Ha ha ha...

I spent almost two hours at school today reviewing for my exam on Monday. I can use the equipment I guess, but I haven't read up on the written part. I'm too tired to do that now. Complain complain complain.

Piss. For some crummy reason, I can't sign onto AIM with my bethje screen name, yet I can on bethmix. I get this error that says that it's too soon to sign on, but that's ridiculous, since I haven't tried using it in awhile. Since I have AOL, I really don't need it, but I'm a profile fanatic. Bly, what am I to do about this?
