A lot to catch up on...
It appears that my computer has allowed me to access my actual livejournal page. For a long time, the page would close as soon as I'd hit the update button. Not any more!!! I'm not sure why it decided to like me updating my livejournal again, but it did, so I'm not going to complain.
Well, since this didn't work, I continued to post on myspace alone. I figured that if I ever got this beast to let me post an entry in my livejournal again, I'd update with all of the missed posts from myspace. That is the entire reason for this post, and it will probably be very long. For that, I apologize and don't expect anybody to read it all.

Longest Blog EVER.
Current mood: tired
I was reading some of Heather's and Ciara's blogs lately and I realized that I just don't blog at all these days...I mean, I am on the 'net often enough that it shouldn't be a problem to do so at least once a week or so, but I just don't. Perhaps it's that life seems so crazy all the time, but it's just the same thing over and over again and I'm afraid to bore any and all who read my nonesense. Perhaps it's that I do all of my other computer-related junk, and by the time I'm done I'm just not up to it. Perhaps I'm just lazy...
Whatever the case, life has been crazier than usual lately - almost over the top some days. Fortunately, cheerleading is almost over with, so I won't have to worry about managing my school-work between school itself, my other jobs, running practices, going to games, and all the other stuff I do in a week.
This week was one of the busiest weeks I've had in a while, and I'm really tired because of it;
Monday I had classes, worked, and did a huge take-home test.
Tuesday, I brought AJ in to get some shots and get neutered...turns out HE's a girl, but it was hard to tell...she ended up getting spayed. This caused be to be a bit late for class. After class I went to Mom & Dad's to do some homework. After a bit, Mom called me and I ended up going to the hospital to be with Kathy and Glen because Grandma Aho wasn't doing so well. She passed away a bit after I got there. That was really hard...I mean, she wasn't my grandma, but she might as well have been...I've known her since I can remember, I've called her Grandma and loved her like a grandma...I'm going to miss her.
Wednesday and Thursday I had clinicals, and the hospital was crazy...all of the beds on East were full most of the time both days...Besides that, Kit put me as a Student Charge Nurse both days and I was assigned patients.I started out with 3 patients on Wed. and ended with 4. Thurs. I just had 3 all day. I had to give oral report on Thurs., and I really don't see what everybody was so nervous/scared about - I mean, it's not that big of a deal!!! Wed. night, I picked up AJ, and then Johnny and I made dinner together for V-day. Then, Thurs. night was the Hurley VS. Mercer game, so I had to go to that. It was a tough game, and the boys lost. Chris is up to 999 points, so tonight (Parents' Night/Senior Stars Night) should bring his 1000th point!!! It's kind of nice that he didn't get it last week, 'cause now his dad can be there.
Friday I ended up working at the store for a few hours. Mom had a crapload of filing for me to do since she hadn't had me work for a while. When I got done there, Johnny and I hung out at Mom & Dad's for a while, then went home and watched some movies.
Saturday was Grandma Aho's funeral, and it was really sad, I'm going to miss her a lot. It was, however, very nice to see all of the Niemi family - haven't seen many of them since last May when Logan graduated. Ate dinner at Kathy's house and goofed off for a while before heading to Stars for the Journey tribute band Seperate Ways. They were pretty good, and the band was nice - except for the lead singer, he was kind of a douche...Mikey helped Dave run sound boards both nights. The band gave me a t-shirt after the show for my birthday, so that was cool.
Sunday was my birthday. I'm now 20. Johnny made me a really yummy cake, and we had lunch with Mom, Dad, Mikey, Grammy, and Gramps at Mom & Dad's house. Got some funny cards. Watched the end of Happy Gilmore, all of Dumb and Dumber, and part of some other movie with James Garner in it. Then Johnny and I picked up a pizza, went home, and watched Wallace and Grommit.
Now, here I am, typing the longest blog EVER. Oh well.
Today, for some reason, I have this strange feeling...It's kind of ominous, but I don't even have the slightest idea why or what it's related to. Hopefully nothing bad is going to happen to anybody or anything......Maybe I'm just hungry.
On that note, I'm going to go catch up with Johnny - lucky bum got a paid day off for Presidents' Day!

WHAT THE...?
Current mood: Appalled.
Today is FEBRUARY 21, 2007 and it is RAINING in HURLEY, WI. And it's 47 degrees outside. Weird.

Boots laced up I'm here to go - - In the end I'll stand alone
Current mood: cold
Well, this past weekend was fairly uneventful. The Hurley boys basketball team lost to Glidden on Friday. It was a close game, despite the horrible reffing. It was so bad, it was as if they had been paid off and weren't even trying to hide it. The ride with the girls was tons of fun though, they're a good group. We got back and went to Subway since we were all hungry, and Shane kept spraying them with water. By the time we left, it looked like somebody had dumped a load of water on the floor, garbage bags were all over, and it was just a mess. It was hilarious though.
Saturday, Johnny was pretty darn sick still, so we hung out, watched Lord of War, Ice Age 2: The Meltdown, and some episodes of House, M.D. Then we ran to K-mart to get some junk, and went out to Hoeft's to see Johnny's mom and brother. Alex was pretty sick - running a high fever, and I hung out with her for a while. We played a few jokes on Marcus, which was pretty funny. He had no idea what was going on.
Sunday we did some cleaning, made bagels - which took FOREVER, played with the dog, and watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which was pretty cool and entertaining. I never thought I'd see Val Kilmer playing a gay guy, and Robert Downey Jr. did a great job as the narrator/main character.
Today went okay. We got a few inches of snow last night, which sucks. I'm sick of winter. Got to my abnormal OB class a few minutes early, and the professor basically flipped out on the class about how we have to fit a 16-hour class into 10 hours because we'll have missed 3 days of class by the end of the semester due to the day that was called off because of extreme cold, Spring Break, and Easter Monday. Like it's our freaking fault that these things happened/will happen!!! We don't make the schedules, and we can't control the weather. And, I don't mean to just sit and complain, but it's really frustrating. If we're that far behind, she should just do what Kit does - she gives us a take-home test so that we actually look up and read the stuff we need to know. You can't breeze through ten tons of material at a million miles a minute and expect us to absorb anything. We learned about at least 4 or 5 different complications of pregnancy within 2 hours. We covered two entire outlines in one class when we usually can only cover 1 per class. And we have a test on this stuff next week. I'm the complete opposite of thrilled right now. Other than that, I came here, have been doing some stuff and working on some homework on the computer, and listening to Mikey and Chris play Sonic Heroes and Celebrity Deathmatch for PS2.
In other news, Chris spilled spaghetti on his white shirt a few minutes ago, was trying to remove the stain with my Tide to Go, and showed Mikey and me his nipple through the wet spot. Of all the things I never want to see or never want to see again, that was not on my list. It is now.

Current mood: tired
It was a long week last week, a long weekend, and here I go starting another long week. Plus there's the snow - I'm sick of the snow.
Man am I tired.
Tuesday, March 06, 2007
Well...
Not the best week ever so far...Last week was extremely crazy, so I hardly got anything I needed to get done done. I failed a test yesterday, didn't do so hot on another one today, forgot completely about the new binder thing we got in class last week and therefore didn't read the hundred-billion pages of junk I was supposed to read for today.
On top of everything, it won't stop snowing!!! I'm soooooo sick of snow! The only good thing that could possibly come of this is if we get enough, school might get cancelled - but that's a long shot. I'll have to drive on shitty roads to Ontonagon by myself tomorrow. From there, Angi and I go to Mass City to pick up Tammie and Coral, and then we have to go to Marquette. Aaarrrrgh!
In good news, Bill comes home at the end of the week. Also, I went to get a pair of dress pants, and I found a pair that fit me perfectly - which doesn't happen that often with any sort of clothing! AND it was 40% off, so that rocked.
66 days until graduation.

Spring Break...?
Where the heck did my spring break go?! I can't believe it's Friday already!!! I'm terribly bummed.
I did homework for half of my break - finally finished editing that investigative report for one of my nursing classes. It's 11 pages long. 11!!!!! IT'S HUGE!!!!
I worked on Monday and again today for WUPHAC. I don't mind that job at all. It gets boring sometimes, yeah, but what job doesn't, right?
I hung out with Bill some this week, and it sure is nice to have him home!
Rob's in town until Sunday morning and wants to hang out sometime tomorrow. It sure will be nice to see him again, I miss that guy!
I lost my wallet sometime Wednesday night. Didn't find out until last night. I think it's in Bill's car. I hope it's in Bill's car!!!
Went walking with Gen last night. We walked and talked for 1.5 - 2 hours...I'm not exactly sure how long, but it was nice!!! And Gen, thanks for...the help?... encouragement?...You know what I mean. Oh, and the apple juice, it was delicious!
St. Patrick's Day tomorrow. I don't know what's going on, but maybe I can convince Johnny to go to Stars to see Uncle Fester with me. We shall see!
Oh, and I'm getting my haircut in the morning...It'll probably just be a trim though, since I'm too big a chicken for anything else at the moment. But, at least I won't have that shaggy-dog look when it's done.
Saturday, March 17, 2007
Yep. Uh huh.
Oi.
(Just had to get that out.)
Yes, I finally got my hair cut today. Needed it. The shaggy dog look is GONE! However, I don't know how thrilled I am with how it turned out...Hmm.
I'm at the store right now...'net at Mom & Dad's was down. Decided to post while I'm in the process of procrastinating. :-)
Man, I popped my jaw last night - which I haven't done in quite some time. It hurt like hell! STILL DOES!!! It sucks!!!
Oh yes, last night, Dad, Johnny, and I saw a bobcat in Mom & Dad's back yard. A BOBCAT!!! How crazy is that?! Dad shot the .22 up to the sky a few times to scare it off so it doesn't eat the cat or something. Hopefully it doesn't decide to come back!
And to make things even crazier, I have Weird Al's Star Wars version of "American Pie" stuck in my head. Am I odd or what?
Sunday, March 18, 2007
When everything feels like the movies, yeah you bleed just to know you're alive.
So, the internet is down at Mom & Dad's. I'm working on those stupid MedsPubs at the store - I swear, they never END!!! It's cold here, and my hands are going a bit numb.
Today wasn't exactly a good day. It was far from it. It feels like ages have passed since yesterday. I don't really feel like talking about it though. I have a lot of stuff to figure out.
I still haven't found my wallet. It could only be in one of seven places, and I've ruled out five of those places already. That leaves Bill's car and Bill's parents' house. If it's not at either of those places, then I'm screwed because I have no freaking idea where it could have ended up.
Last night was okay. Went to see a bluegrass band at the Ale House - they were cool. Got to see Mark for a while - I sure do miss that kid. Saw Uncle Fester at Stars. Romo didn't show up - AGAIN. I wasn't really surprised, though. Got to hang out with Al and Logan a bit. Sam and Chris came a bit before I left. Sam and I are supposed to do lunch on Monday or something, but that may not happen if I don't find my wallet by then.
I'm really tired. And semi-crabby.
And I'm just procrastinating.
Tuesday, March 27, 2007
Heck yes.
Today. Today is a good day. So far.
I passed the MedSurg test with an 89%, and considering the smaller-than-usual amount of studying that I did, I'm happy with that! Besides, it was on immunity and caring for immunocompromised patients and such. That's not easy stuff!
This week is my final week of mental health clinicals! I have to drive again this week though, Coral's sister won't let her borrow her car. Coral said she'll pay for gas, though, so that helps. At least I won't have to go back to Marquette for school, though!
This weekend is homeshow weekend, and I have to work, but it's not so bad. I'm actually somewhat looking forward to it for some reason.
I finally burned some CDs I've been meaning to burn for a while - Jack's Mannequin, Plain White T's, and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. I also checked out some bands One Zero Seven suggested. They're pretty good! I especially find myself enjoying Valient Thorr - if you're bored, check 'em out.
I have no classes with Kit next week, but I do need to go through the powerpoints she gave us all on discs before the following Tuesday, because we have a test on that stuff then.
Last week was pretty good. That test I thought I failed? Turns out I got a B on it! Yeah, dummy me forgot to add the points on the back...
Hung out with Bill, Ally, and Jess a bit last week - that was fun, but boy was I tired at clinicals! The four of us watched some movies at Bill's on Wednesday night. Afterwards, we were dancing. Ally and I even polka-ed. It was good stuff...I left there around midnight, but because I had to pack and my cat felt the need to keep me awake, I only got four hours of sleep. I survived though! I listened to Dane Cook a lot of the time so I wouldn't fall asleep.
Wednesday night I bought the Dane Cook, "Vicious Circle" DVD. Man do I love it!
Got back into town on Thursday and hung out with Ally and Jess some more. Bill was supposed to come, too, but he went to Missouri to see Crystal at the last minute. Ally, Jess, and I went out to the harbor and walked out on the ice banks. It was so pretty, but crazy!!! At one point, Ally and I were standing on a chunk that was moving and didn't even know it until afterwards - creepy! We took a lot of sweet pictures, which Ally & I posted on Facebook. Then we went to the grocery store so Jess could get mashed potatoes. After that, we got delicious treats from DQ and headed out to Pence to watch Dane Cook. I fell asleep during part of it, but can you really blame me? Afterwards, they headed home and I crashed.
Not much happened on Friday. On Saturday Johnny and I went to Duluth for the World of Wheels car show. It was kinda small, but pretty good, and there were some cool cars there. He found a sweet shirt at Goodwill. We bummed around a bit. I bought a keychain. We ate gyros at the food court - I love gyros. Then we headed home and watched a movie.
Sunday we watched another movie and I did some homework.
Yesterday I procrastinated. Then I studied for my test. (Which - if you missed it - I passed. )
Well, I think that's about all I have to say for now. (Sorry about the rambling, boringness!)

FUCK snow.
I was thinking, it's been nice to finally have almost all the snow melt and be almost gone. I was getting pretty sick of it.
Then this morning I wake up and what do I see? SNOW!!! Wait, no...Not just snow...but FUCKING SNOW!!! I am not happy. In fact, I am far from happy. Well, I get out of class and most of it melted already anyways. But it's still cold. Not exactly thrilling, but I can deal with it. Then, I'm on this computer getting ready to check my email and junk and do homework, and what do I see? A weather forecast. And what does the forecast predict for the next two days or so? FUCKING SNOW!!! Yeah, I'm pissed.
In other news, I had another OB test today, it seemed to go okay, so I'm pretty sure I passed it at least. Also, Kit's out of town this week, so that was my only class. All I have until next Tuesday are some clinicals and a crapload of homework. But, I don't have to sit in a classroom until then! Oh, and I'm done with the mental health clinicals now, so I don't have to travel to Marquette every week!
This weekend was the homeshow. I worked on Saturday. Sold a chair, saw a lot of people I knew, a lot I didn't know, and some who knew me and I didn't know them. It was fun, though. Johnny's family came up, too. We watched some movies, ate food, and hung out. His mom was a little nicer to me than usual, which really surprised me...I still don't think she likes me all that much though.
It's Bill's birthday today - 22. He's gone though...I miss him already.
Other than that, there's not much happening around here. I really should stop procrastinating pretty soon though, and actually get some junk done.
So, that's about it. Long enough for ya? Did you read the WHOLE thing?! If so, you're a nut-job...But I love ya anyways. Now I'm off to do more MedsPubs, OH JOY! (NOT.)
Oh, and it's still snowing like hell and words can't even explain how terribly crappy the roads are.
Well, since this didn't work, I continued to post on myspace alone. I figured that if I ever got this beast to let me post an entry in my livejournal again, I'd update with all of the missed posts from myspace. That is the entire reason for this post, and it will probably be very long. For that, I apologize and don't expect anybody to read it all.

Heck yes.
Today. Today is a good day. So far.
I passed the MedSurg test with an 89%, and considering the smaller-than-usual amount of studying that I did, I'm happy with that! Besides, it was on immunity and caring for immunocompromised patients and such. That's not easy stuff!
This week is my final week of mental health clinicals! I have to drive again this week though, Coral's sister won't let her borrow her car. Coral said she'll pay for gas, though, so that helps. At least I won't have to go back to Marquette for school, though!
This weekend is homeshow weekend, and I have to work, but it's not so bad. I'm actually somewhat looking forward to it for some reason.
I finally burned some CDs I've been meaning to burn for a while - Jack's Mannequin, Plain White T's, and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. I also checked out some bands One Zero Seven suggested. They're pretty good! I especially find myself enjoying Valient Thorr - if you're bored, check 'em out.
I have no classes with Kit next week, but I do need to go through the powerpoints she gave us all on discs before the following Tuesday, because we have a test on that stuff then.
Last week was pretty good. That test I thought I failed? Turns out I got a B on it! Yeah, dummy me forgot to add the points on the back...
Hung out with Bill, Ally, and Jess a bit last week - that was fun, but boy was I tired at clinicals! The four of us watched some movies at Bill's on Wednesday night. Afterwards, we were dancing. Ally and I even polka-ed. It was good stuff...I left there around midnight, but because I had to pack and my cat felt the need to keep me awake, I only got four hours of sleep. I survived though! I listened to Dane Cook a lot of the time so I wouldn't fall asleep.
Wednesday night I bought the Dane Cook, "Vicious Circle" DVD. Man do I love it!
Got back into town on Thursday and hung out with Ally and Jess some more. Bill was supposed to come, too, but he went to Missouri to see Crystal at the last minute. Ally, Jess, and I went out to the harbor and walked out on the ice banks. It was so pretty, but crazy!!! At one point, Ally and I were standing on a chunk that was moving and didn't even know it until afterwards - creepy! We took a lot of sweet pictures, which Ally & I posted on Facebook. Then we went to the grocery store so Jess could get mashed potatoes. After that, we got delicious treats from DQ and headed out to Pence to watch Dane Cook. I fell asleep during part of it, but can you really blame me? Afterwards, they headed home and I crashed.
Not much happened on Friday. On Saturday Johnny and I went to Duluth for the World of Wheels car show. It was kinda small, but pretty good, and there were some cool cars there. He found a sweet shirt at Goodwill. We bummed around a bit. I bought a keychain. We ate gyros at the food court - I love gyros. Then we headed home and watched a movie.
Sunday we watched another movie and I did some homework.
Yesterday I procrastinated. Then I studied for my test. (Which - if you missed it - I passed. )
Well, I think that's about all I have to say for now. (Sorry about the rambling, boringness!)

FUCK snow.
I was thinking, it's been nice to finally have almost all the snow melt and be almost gone. I was getting pretty sick of it.
Then this morning I wake up and what do I see? SNOW!!! Wait, no...Not just snow...but FUCKING SNOW!!! I am not happy. In fact, I am far from happy. Well, I get out of class and most of it melted already anyways. But it's still cold. Not exactly thrilling, but I can deal with it. Then, I'm on this computer getting ready to check my email and junk and do homework, and what do I see? A weather forecast. And what does the forecast predict for the next two days or so? FUCKING SNOW!!! Yeah, I'm pissed.
In other news, I had another OB test today, it seemed to go okay, so I'm pretty sure I passed it at least. Also, Kit's out of town this week, so that was my only class. All I have until next Tuesday are some clinicals and a crapload of homework. But, I don't have to sit in a classroom until then! Oh, and I'm done with the mental health clinicals now, so I don't have to travel to Marquette every week!
This weekend was the homeshow. I worked on Saturday. Sold a chair, saw a lot of people I knew, a lot I didn't know, and some who knew me and I didn't know them. It was fun, though. Johnny's family came up, too. We watched some movies, ate food, and hung out. His mom was a little nicer to me than usual, which really surprised me...I still don't think she likes me all that much though.
It's Bill's birthday today - 22. He's gone though...I miss him already.
Other than that, there's not much happening around here. I really should stop procrastinating pretty soon though, and actually get some junk done.
So, that's about it. Long enough for ya? Did you read the WHOLE thing?! If so, you're a nut-job...But I love ya anyways. Now I'm off to do more MedsPubs, OH JOY! (NOT.)
Oh, and it's still snowing like hell and words can't even explain how terribly crappy the roads are.
