Updating this sucka...
Colleen didn't go so well. I looked good. I looked Irish and I thought I did good on my interview. But as everyone thought they did well, I was wrong as well. I was incredibly nervous and as soon as I stepped up on stage I lost track of time. I was trying to remember exactly what I did on stage and I couldn't remember where I looked, where I walked, if I turned my shoulders or not. All of a sudden I was off the stage. And then the five finalists were picked and yep, I cried. The one thing I told myself I wasn't going to do I did. I suppose somewhere in the back of my mind I decided that if my sister could win I was at least guaranteed the court. Not that that has anything to do with how the girls were picked. It was just a subconscious idea. I cried on and off. But as soon as I walked back to the table Matt gave me 26 beautiful large red roses. It was that something I needed to let me know that I'm beautiful and special no matter what. I did have a w o n d e r f u l time with the girls downstairs. I really did. It was so much fun being with everyone again. We listened to music, heard Laura and Kerrie play, did hair, played games, made new friends. Everyone looked lovely. You can see a picture of Kerrie and I if you look at the comment page of my previous post. We look lovely. I am very happy for Amanda and Emily though. They're going to have a great time. I just wanted to go to the Emerald Isle so badly.
Also, yesterday I went to the shelter and there was b-e-a-utiful pregnant Maine Coon cat. She was absolutely stunning. I don't know how far along she was but the shelter will most likely spay her and abort the babies. I really want to prevent this. She is a stunning cat and I just want to give the babies a chance. I saw one of my cats being born and it's just amazing. I want to go through that again. So I'm going to try to convince Mr. Jarrett to let us (Matt and I) set up camp for the mother to give birth which could happen soon in the next few weeks. Her stomach didn't appear round enough so I don't believe she's too far along.
In other news there was another article in the paper on the genocide in Sudan. It was way inside though. Bush has only conceeded to send food and medical supplies but no military. Thousands more will be slaughtered if nothing is done with Holocaust proportions. That would have been my answer to the Colleen question. If I had a million dollars I would use it to raise awareness for African genocide. So many people don't actually know the magnitude of what is happening over there. I think that if information was available, public outcry would force America into action. The Arabs of Sudan want to ethnically cleanse Sudan of African-Americans. They go from village to village slaughtering pregnant women so that boys and girls won't grow up to create a resistance. They kill men, women, children, the elderly. They raid the villages and they burn them to the ground. They methodically block off access to food and use starvation as a murder weapon. How this can be allowed to continue, I don't know.
I walked into AC MOORE and asked if they got my application so I should know if I have a job my tommorrow. No word from UMASS Amherst although I'm very confident I'll get in. I really shouldn't count my chickens before they hatch though.
