Ahh... Finals are over. Granted I only had 3; mon. 9:45, tues. 12:00 and wed. 9:45....but I'm still so glad they are over. Steve and I have been playing this new video game for the past upteen days/hours (well, more him playing and me watching). Anyway, we just got to a part in the game where we can gamble in a casino for tokens to buy cool stuff. The reason for my update (I know I don't update enough) is because of the casino. Steve is trying to win lots of tokens...which will probably take more than an hour to acheive the goal we have set. hmmm...it's a fun game and the story line (with all the little videos inbetween wondering around and fighting) is good, but seriously, how many times can I watch him lose at BINGO? "I don't think I'm very good at this game? -Steve I don't think anyone has a talent for BINGO hunnie... Everyone ready to be jeaous of me?? Sat. I'm leaving for Miami for a week. Jealous much??? Well, don't get too worked up, I'm visiting my parents for Christmas. I'm excited for the warm weather and to hang with my parents for a bit, but after a week I'll be ready to come back. HOLD THE PHONE!! STEVE JUST WON BINGO! sweet...anyway, I'll be calling a bunch of people from the beach to let them hear the ocean, so beware. muahaha King Kong tomorrow. Should be good. 3 hours and 7 mins. Free admission ticket from "The Frighteners" special edition DVD. I'm psyched. fall in love with a smile

Exciting news!!! We now offically have cable television!!!!! I watched part of a movie today on Comedy Central and Felicity on WE. Maybe it was better to not have cable. Now all I'm going to do when I'm at home is watch tv. Oh well, back to the old life. Ya know what is a fantastic thing? CALVIN & HOBBES. here's a link to 25 great Calvin & Hobbes comic strips and an explaination for why it is so great. check it out! http://www.progressiveboink.com/archive/calvinhobbes.htm Oh it is lovely... Is anyone else tired of studying and need a break? I fully support a break inbetween labor day and Thanksgiving. Going this long without a break is just too much. In the spring we get Easter and Spring break, what's up with that? there should be a fall break. True we do have about a month off for Christmas inbetween the semesters, but that is just not enough for my poor helpless brain. *end of rant* Another comic that is great (or at least I think so) is Dilbert. Of course it is nowhere near the calibur that Calvin & Hobbes is, I still giggle while reading it. http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/dilbert/archive/dilbert-20051021.html I couldn't find my favorite ones, but this one made me laugh. fall in love with a smile :)

I'm sad to report that I still do not have the internet at my apartment. :(

Not really much to report. I just figured I would update since I haven't in FOREVER. But then again, lately I don't really have time...PLUS my computer is jank once again and my wireless isn't working--therefore Megan has no internet and that makes her sad. I don't really have anything to rant about 'cause minus school (which sucks for most people) everything is going pretty well. OH~ I got in a car accident the weekend before last. I wasn't paying attention to the road (aka: changing my cd or something of that sort) and I drove off the to side, freaked and overcorrected, spun once and landed myself in the ditch on the other side of the road. Luckily no cars were around me to hit and the ditch was grassy and muddy, so it absorbed most ofthe blow. My car and I were ok ('cept for a sore neck for about 3-4 days) but I was really scared. Two cars stopped to see if I was ok and one of them called the state patrol to check on me, GIVE ME A TICKET! and tow my car out. They give tickets for everything I swear. Is it not enough for me to be totally freaked out by getting into an accident??? guess not. :( Oh well, at least I'm ok and my car is fine, just a little dent in one of the doors. Alright, well I need to finish this registration packet so I can register for classes next semester. Woo fun. Fall in love with a smile--I HAVE :)

BBRRRRRR!!! IT'S COLD IN HERE! *muah*

boo...I'm supposed to be up and ready for a dress rehearsal at 8:30, but I can't sleep. Oh, how I've tried...lying in bed all alone really does suck. :( Anyway, not really much to report. Working in the lab is super easy, 'cause the most work I do is assisting 1 person every hour with their experiment participation. The rest of the time I pretty much just work on homework or read a book. I really should be using this can't-sleep time for studying... oh god, I just remembered an assignment I have to do for monday along with studying for two tests. Why is everything due on the first day of the week? Hopefully the assignment won't be too difficult considering I've done other assignments for another class with the same program. hmm... I'm so lazy. (shrug) alright, I know it's not to your liking--those who remind me to update, but that's what you're getting. night all. fall in love with a smile

A few short announcments: Six Feet Under rocks my socks off. Everyone should def. check this show out--Steve and I finished watching season one yesterday and I can't wait to get the second season. Although, from a shortage of time and money I can't forsee that happening very soon. Very sad. School's going alright so far. Nothing too mind numbing(on the easy or hard side). I am now a research assistant for a study on memory and recognition. Seems easy enough--all we really need to do is greet the participants of the study, sign their class credit card and set up the experiment for them. Cake. I'm also trying to be a volunteer at the Ames Youth Shelter Services. I get class credit for volunteering a certain amount of time with the kids there. Calvin and Hobbes is so hilarious, I can't believe I haven't bought any of the books yet. Where have you been all my life? heheh blah blah blah sorry, I'm tired of typing. fall in love with a smile

aww yes, a new school year. Classes, homework, tests, parties(yeah 'cause I go to those) and hanging out with friends that I haven't seen in months. My classes don't seem too bad so far. I think the easy and hard classes will pretty much cancel each other out. I'm taking 4 psych. classes and then symphony. woohoo for being a senior...OMG! I'm a senior! How scary is that?? It would be scarier if I was graduating at the end of this school year, but I am not. I decided to lighten my load during the next two semesters so I am not too stressed and so I have time to do other things that need to do done: re-take classes, join psych. club, participate in research, study for GRE in order to get into Grad. school. The list goes on people...don't forget about a social life. Steve and I's three month is next tues. but we won't be as dorky as last month. Whatever! we're cool! hehe.... As a matter of fact, I am watching him nap right now...he's so adorable. :) I'M HUNGRY! Maggie is whipping up some tortilini with alfredo...my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Rooming with Maggie is great so far, but I expected it to be. Phil, Steve's best friend, turns 21 today so we are taking him out....or he's going out with friends and I am invited. should be fun watching him get drunk...although I've seen it once before--pretty damn funny if I do say so myself. But then again, almost everybody is pretty hilarious to watch get drunk, especially for the first or second time. I proly will only have 1 or two drinks...I don't have class til 11, but still. meh FOOD more later I swear... Fall in love with a smile ;)

WOW--it's been forever since I have posted an entry. my bad Things have been pretty good lately. I've been sleeping in pretty late in the day, but my mom hasn't made me feel guilty about it so that's excellent. She was in the beginning of the summer. Like I have anything that needs to get done. It helps that there are other people here to distract her(my mom). Aaron Sue is still here which is always a blast. And Jackie A. recently moved in b/c she had to move out of her apartment. We offered to let her stay here if she 'watched the house and Cassie'. Whatever--just another person for me to hang with. :) Delivery work is going pretty well. No outrageous stories to report other than people offering me money for pizzas that aren't theirs and weird guys hitting on me while in my oh-so-hott uniform. I think I have about 3 weeks left before it's off to school! onward ho and all that jazz... Things with Steve are going great. Our mutual love for Gilmore Girls doesn't hurt. heheh We've been hanging on the weekends, mostly Sundays (his day off) and mostly in Ames..where we can be alone and it's closer for him. I can't wait for schoole to start 'cause then I can see him all the time. :) Might be weird at first, but I doubt we'll get sick of each other. Nope- not gonna happen. Alright, well there is a quick overview for those who care...I'm off to do great things. Proly shower :) fall in love with a smile

I'm good--just so people know that I'm not sad anymore. (ahem) Robin... c'mon, how long do I stay sad? My car broke down at work today. I felt really stupid, but everyone said it was ok, it had happened to them too and they fixed it. :) silly subaru Sorry I haven't updated lately, for those people who are crying themselves to sleep every night b/c of it. again (ahem) Robin...I haven't had time to even check my e-mail for a bit now. Thurs. is Steve and I's one month anniversary. Is it lame that I'm totally jazzed, even though I won't see him 'cause it's in the middle ofthe week. What am I getting him? a card my friend, simple but sweet. Wow I'm really tired...I think I'll go to Walmart, buy a card, send it, then go to sleep. I know I'm lame, but the weekend was too short--barely eating or sleeping--I'm wiped. later all! fall in love with a smile

Alright--so summer is awesome and everything with no school and the fantastic weather, and I know it's only June...but I want it to be over already. Besides Aaron Sue being here, most things suck. Steve isn't here I can't seem to get away from the nawing feeling in my stomach that the presence of my mother gives me. Her never-ending list of things for me to do and inadequacies that I possess. Work is ok, and I'm getting used to it, but I still feel like I don't fit in. I miss Steve The funny thing is that I'm not excited about going back to school either. Well, I am 'cause I'll get to see Maggie and Steve...but after talking to Steve last night about my last year and everything that needs to be done I'm scared. GRE's interships lab assistant work class-load fitting in time to relax fitting in Steve time without ignoring school stuff I need to seriously start thinking about if I can handle doing my undergrad in four years or if I want to lighten my load a little and do it in either 3 or 4 more semesters instead of 2. It's summer--you aren't supposed to have to think about serious future things, unless you want to...and I don't. :( I don't want to grow up. It's no fun. So much shit to do today. Mow the lawn, start and finish the list my mom left me (which includes such things like clean the kitty litter, vaccuum the steps, run the dishwasher, etc) all crap...then work from 4:30 to 11. I don't think it's going to be busy tonight--I like being able to take my time so I don't screw up or get lost, but I also don't like just standing around b/c there aren't any deliveries and I'm useless and can't do anything else. I think I'm just in a bad mood in general today. go figure fall in love with a smile p.s. shut up Robin ;p ur off in France, eat some frog legs...don't be silly

Robin- I ended up painting my room country blue--with green, orange, navy blue and yellow splatters and wisps. I think it turned out pretty nicely. Sorry you are cut off from civilization...must be rough being all the way in froggy-a-gogo-land. (ahem) no sympathy...although mb a card will await you at your home for when you return...when is that by the way?? or did you decide you liked it there too much and you're staying for good. :( boo to that idea. I won't have a GG watching friend! Aight, I'm off to bed. fall in love with a smile p.s. Aaron Sue brought her super nintendo for the summer...we already played Donkey Kong Country for like 6 hrs. We got pretty far too, but my mom yelled down that we should go to bed 'cause Aaron has to be up in the morn. oh! I'm going to be a delivery girl for Dominos pizza! weird huh?! thoughts... peace

GIRLFRIEND that's what I am!! I am someone's girlfriend...teehee Steve's to be exact. I went to Ames on friday afternoon and came home today. Basically spent the whole time with Steve doing just about nothing. Wonderfalls, Clarissa Explains it All, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, home videos, yearbooks, boardgames, and The Ring....just to name a few things we did. "I think you should be my girlfriend." This is very weird b/c I haven't had a bf in such a long time but it's also fantastically excellent. :) (huge smile) mmm...content Shout out to Robin in France. How are they treatin' ya? I still can't find Amelie, otherwise I would watch it and think of you over yonder. You'll have to bring me back something that either screams, "fromage(sp???)" "bonjour" or anything else fantasically french. :) Hope you're having a great time! still on the job search. Coldstone was spose to call today but didn't--either b/c they are still getting over the weekend or I suck and didn't get the job. I'm so lazy, and although I do want to job (ahem) money, I really don't feel like much of a go-getter. ((sigh)) My room is still a work in progress. It's slowly coming together though. off to watch Wonderfalls and smell Steve's shirt that I 'stole' -- or rather he sprayed down with his axe and gave to me. :) hehe fall in love with a smile

ok...I just need to gripe for a second. My mom seriously needs to take a chill pill or just leave me alone. "Megan, why do you have to get up so late? You know that we want you up earlier, there is work to be done, whatever isn't done by June 1st when your dad leaves I'm going to have to stay behind and finish, and you don't want that now do you?" -no response from me--I know better, whatever I say, even if it's 'I'm sorry' will get me into trouble in some way. GET OFF MY BACK! I'l do it when I do it. Sorry I need to get some sleep--otherwise I wouldn't be able to do the job you want me to do properly...have you ever thought of that mom? huh? Ya, proly not. Plus, I don't go to bed at 10pm like you and dad. And have I hung out with any of my friends, leaving the work behind to do at a later time? no ugh! ok I think I'm done. Now onto Steve. :) he's so cautious about what he says and does he's scared to mess something up :) usually something like this would bug me, but it doesn't with Steve, just makes me like him more. :) last night I asked him what the first three words that came to mind when he thought of me are. smart energetic BEAUTIFUL :) fall in love with a smile

(angels singing) grade report: psych. 333 A- psych. 301 B phil. 207 A AfAm 330 A- Music 181 A Psych. 201 S BAM! grade point for the semester: 3.62 cumulative grade point: 3.11 let's hope I can be as lucky next year fall in love with a smile

Ahh...finals are done, cleaning/packing is done--I'm home again. My mom has decided that we need to 'de-clutter' our lives. This basically means spring cleaning (or I guess pre-summer cleaning) the entire house. I haven't even unpacked all my crap from school. And she wants me to start thinking about what things need to go to the apartment b/c we are going to move a bunch of stuff on sunday. It's a hectic time with so much to get done. Very weird. The lights in the room I'm in keep flickering dimmer and brighter every once and a while. I think someone is messing with the breaker. The electricity has been going off in my room too but that is b/c the air conditioner in there takes up too much...hmm... It's really weird being home. Nobody from school is here, my parents are around which is cool but very odd at the same time. They are usually traveling somewhere, but they are going to be here till June. Then it's off to Wisconsin they go for another job. They just brought home the fifth wheel. HUGE!!! It is SWEET on the inside too. Two bedrooms, a spacious kitchenish area and the bathroom with a fancy stand up shower and everything. That's it, I'm moving in. Ahh yes--the job search. I'm going to try to get a job at Thunder Hills, our old country club. I could be a waitress right? I played restarant as a kid WAY too often so I think I'll be good. Alright well I better be off to more de-clutterization...if that's even a word. Fall in love with a smile

geez people--fight about who is higher on my list of friends...I changed it for ya. (the order was merely from who I see/talk to the most often) ONE DAY! fall in love with a smile

2 DAYS!!! I'm 21 in 2 days! So far here is the plan: Friday night I have invited a few friends over for some good old fashion party fun. Eating pizza, watching movies, PLAYING GAMES(and I will force everyone to participate), etc. It's so I can have the laidback homebody fun that I love with people who can't go out or don't really like to go out. It'll be way fun. After midnight I don't know what the plan is--maybe purchase some alcohol just 'cause I can. :) Saturday Jackie A is coming up. Robin said something about manicures/pedicures or something girly for during the day. Night time is crazy time. Going out--I don't care where, but I'm hitting the bars and experiencing it to the fullest. So far all I know is Jackie, mb Heathyr and I--hopefully we'll meet Jason and friends sometime, but who knows with that big jerk. anywho, bedtime (hopefully soon) fall in love with a smile

I bought this game called truth be told. It's basically truth jenga--but with tiny blocks. I bought it for a dollar at target. DubH--hip hop show Eh, it was pretty good. There were some really good dances and there were some not so good ones. Ugh! Jenn(girl from my high school, unfortunetly really bad dancer) was in like three dances and omg she was so bad. I had to close one of my eyes so I could actually watch some of the other dancers. She's like a car crash--can't watch, but you just can't look away. And I really don't understand the need to put her in the front row where she is really exposed and sucks it up out loud--seriously people, put the good people in front and the bad people in back. That's mean but it makes the show better. Wasn't regreting not being in the show though. Kinda wanted the t-shirts I ordered but since I wasn't in the show and am not an official member(no dues paid) I'm not quite sure I get to have them. oh well....next year. Friday night--woo I'm insane. Maggie and I went to a friends party (more like small get together/hanging out), were stalkers--well she drove me around in my drunken insanity and facilitated my stalking, and ended up sleeping in a fort at 6am. When we got back from "project skittles" I saw that my friend Steve's light was on, so we decided to run over there and knock on his window to see what he was doing(3am mind you). He invited us in and we ended up hanging out for a while. Around 4am Steve was like 'let's build a fort!' so we went at it for while, eventually making a trip over to my apartment to steal my blankets and kitchen stools. Somebody should've seen this fort, it was massive and totally awesome. Around 5 we popped in Shanghi noon and all fell asleep in the fort. It was so funny 'cause throughout the night(well morning I guess) the fort fell apart with us in it so we all woke up covered with blankets. fun 5 year old times... Sat. night-- cleaned the apartment, packed a few things and watched the first three episodes of Six Feet Under with Steve. another bed at 6am night. DEAD WEEK *21ST BIRTHDAY* FINALS WEEK I'm psyched. the big 21 is only 6 days away. Everyone pray that I don't die :) fall in love with a smile
