I had 21 drinks.....i was fine until the 151..thanks Aria and Darian.
I got a tattoo....and now I want another one.
I found an apartment......now all I need is a decent job.
I learned that Conferences blows.
My little brother is a prick and annoys the fuck out of me. This is the last time I go on vacation for a week with him.
Growing up makes me die inside.
I don't like it when people question me.
Sometime I prefer being alone.
I don't always want to talk to people....silence is golden.

The next little kid that hangs out of a window, gets stuck in a elevator, or sticks their finger in a sprinkler is going to get kick in the head.
The parents are actually being decent. I love the supervisors that I work with (and Katie). Odyssey of the Mind is a nightmare because Intelligent kids are actually the dumbest ones.
June 4....please get here soon.

I now am an official graduate of the university of maryland. w00t!!

Olivia.
I submitted my thesis to my committee on Monday and now I'm just playing the waiting game. I hope that all goes well with this.
I randomly talked to Shaun last night. It's been a while since I talked to him. I tend to talk to him every few weeks or so. This past month I haven't really talked to anyone because of the thesis.
I graduate in 23 days and I am mildly freaking out.

blah - Music:NEWS- Cherish
I have to set up office hours for work next week. I have to go to an employee luncheon tomorrow...i really hope I don't have to dress nice. I'm glad I got my promotion. Now all I need is a big girl job that I like and a new apartment for the fall.
My current method of procrastination is hot Japanese boys that can sing.
I think I may not go home this weekend and instead live in the library....or maybe Dr. Brighton's office so I get work done on my thesis and studying done.
My dad and I held a civilized conversation and I managed not to swear at him. He apologized for saying that the day and time of my graduation was an inconvenience. He said that he would be there and that everything would be happy. I really don't know if I believe him. I kinda just want to punch him in the face still.
Well I have class in 10 minutes and I need to go because I skipped it on Tuesday. So this is me running to class and hopefully paying attention and learning something.
<3 OC
PS the caps made it to the playoffs and it made me unbelievably happy.

The one-day content strike is on for this Friday, March 21, from midnight GMT to midnight GMT.
For 24 hours, we will not post or comment to LJ. Not in our own journals, not in communities. Not publicly, privately, or under friends-lock.
This is a protest that will have long-lasting effects, showing up forever in the daily posting statistics.
This is a protest that will not harm LJ in the long run, as leaving LJ might do.
This is a protest that will demonstrate the power of community, as all users unite to support Basic users, the concept of adfree space, and our right to enjoy any interests we choose.
This is a protest that will educate the new owners that LJ is driven by user-created content.
How Can You Help?
DO post about this in your own LJ.
DO post and comment about it in appropriate communities.
DO remember that it's based on Greenwich Mean Time, which may not be your local time.
DO turn off LoudTwitter and your RSS feeds for 24 hours.
DON'T forget to get permission from community mods before making an off-topic post or comment about the strike.
DON'T be spammy with your posts or comments about the strike.
DON'T forget to turn your LoudTwitter and RSS feeds back on when the strike is over.

Why Are We Striking?
We are holding the Content Strike because we want to demonstrate that LiveJournal is content-driven.
We are holding the Content Strike because we want the new owners of LiveJournal to better understand the power and resolve of the LJ Community of Users.
We are holding the Content Strike because all of us, Paid, Permanent and Plus users as well as Basic, want to demonstrate our solidarity as a Community of Users. We do not consider Basic users to be freeloaders, we consider them to be valuable content-providers and Friends.
We are holding the Content Strike because we ache to do something to show our displeasure, and commenting on the </a></b></a>![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/newsinfo.gif){kind=small}
news post -- even with cat macros -- just isn't powerful enough!
The strike has four terms:
1. Restore basic accounts for new account creation.
2. Inform users before any change to the site that affects how we use the site or demands on our resources.
3. Run change proposals by the Advisory Board and take their advice into account before implementation of any change.
4. Homophobia, misogyny, and racism must not be a part of the decision making processes about appropriate content of the site, including what user interests are deemed appropriate.
NOTE: We are aware that there may be good business decisions for eliminating Basic accounts. If Basic accounts are to be eliminated, though, that action should be taken only after approval of the Advisory Board and consultation with the LJ Community of Users.
Will This Make Any Difference?
The protests are making a difference. Within the last three hours (as of 3pm March 17, '08), the censored interests have been restored!
If you look at the Popular Interests page, you will once again see the formerly filtered "fanfiction", "depression", "bisexuality" -- even "faeries". LiveJournal is once again presenting its true face to the world, not a sanitized blandness.
Please continue to spread the word about the Content Strike. We are not merely consumers. We are a Community of Users, and we will be heard.
No posts. No comments. No content.
This week is midterms week for me. I just need to make it to Thursday at 3:15. Oh spring break how i need you.
Beth failed topic two. I don't feel bad because all of Sp08 failed topic two. I don't think an entire class has failed a topic before. I'm concerned that these girls don't get it. I'm concerned that my organization is becoming more and more like a social organization. The level of homogeneity in BH is scary. The things that I fell in love with about my chapter are gradually disappearing. At this point there is nothing I can do.
I have decided that jackie, j white, keirsten, etc have a syndrome. I haven't come up with a name for it. I picked the wrong weekend to go home. Seriously.

Dear Mom and Dad,

I've been using that itunes gift card my dad gave me for early (i got the thing in November)Christmas/just because.....makes me not think he's a much of a douche bag....btw me and him are not quite on speaking terms....and yes it is sorely because of my stepmom.
i want to learn how to play the guitar. I've been wanting to learn for years and never had the time/money/energy/opportunity to do so. I should get on that.
No time for goodbye he said
As he faded away
Don't put your life in someone's hands
Their bound to steal it away
Don't hide your mistakes
'Cause they'll find you, burn you
Then he said
If you want to get out alive
Hold on for your life
If you want to get out alive
Hold on for your life
