why hello lisa,

I thought I saw you write something about how facebook was using your picture.. lame.
I personally hate all those stupid quizzes on facebook, seems like when i ever go on its clogged with millions of quizzes. 
sorry I don't give a fuck if your spirit letter is D.
I'm cleaning my room and packing for Siggraph. if I don't do it now or at least start I wont have any clean clothes to last me. I'm packing away mostly dresses and shoes. haha I bought 2 pairs of high heels last week and I can't wait to where them!
I think Nick is sick of going anywhere with me b/c we always seem to find a shoe store and I end up trying on like 3 pairs and looking for 20 minutes before he can get me to leave...haha.
OH and I graduated from Cortiva. Just have to take my National Exam and then I'm set. 
god, i have my ipod on, btw I dont even listen to it since I have my computer or phone now-in-days..I don't even know why I haven't sold one of my 3 ipods yet..but anyway, I haven't updated any music since 2007ish. so all 1700 songs bring back some type of memory..I kinda miss driving around listening to my ipod and going crazy in my jeep.
well, I should get back to cleaning my room..I have court in 2 hours. 
gotta love blue island!

almost done!

schools over, graduation is 7/11 along with my only graduation party I've ever had. 

my national exam is july 6th, I'm excited and scared. I know I'll do fine and I want to find out if I pass before graduation. 

you guys will all have to wait till then to find out. 

I'm so proud of Nick. he started AM on Monday and he has his first Q&A session 2morrow. so exciting! I know he will do great and I know he will be good at this. I can tell he's excited about everything animation and its the one thing he can do for hours and not get bored or frustrated. I'm sure he will make tons of friends and hopefully some that we can meet up with at SIGGRAPH.

well, I guess thats all for now. time to sleep, and tomorrow is tanning day!

oh dear you look so lost.

just made some corn bread muffins for nick and I. we have to eat on the go today.. hes coming over after work and we are getting dressed and ready to go to some wedding for his family...his cousin maybe? oh well, free drinks. thats always a good thing.

anyway, I didn't have work this week, but I have been working a lot, well, A LOT more than I am used to. work is going great, I updated my resume and hopefully I can either make my job into a full time job or find another part time job or find a new full time job, all of which I need to get payed more. 

My 4th and last quarter of cortiva is going alright, pretty fast and we are on to the 6th week outta 10 weeks. nothing too hard but also so painfully easy at times that I with the program was only 3 quarters. scheduled to take my national exam on july 6th, so thats awesome. I can't wait for summer, I love summers in chicago. too bad they canceled doing looptopia this year,..sad days.

I wish it would stop raining soon, I finally got a haircut, I know its been forever, def got 4+ inches cut off, which seems like a lot but my hair is still really long. 

nothing else is really new, just can't wait to be with nick tonight and not worry about having to work the next day and have a free night of drinks with him and his family. good times are bound to happen.

late-

this is how it feels!

I got that job! yay! I start Thursday, April 23rd! feels great. finally getting a decent paying job, however I'm only working a few events, but i'm sure when I finish school there will be more events. [[only 1-2 a week for April-May]] but a job is a job..and its 15 dollars an hour which is better than working 3 days a week at 8 dollars an hour..I'm feeling pretty good about it. 

I love Nick, he's been so supportive, a week ago I was crying b/c I didn't even get an interview b/c employers wanted someone to work at least one day that I was in school. he knew I would get a job, and when I walked in to interview the only shed of confidence I had was b/c of him. there was 25+ girls interviewing for this job and instead of just a front desk/assistant job I got a great higher paying job. 

win win situation. 

well, I have class in 8 hours, I heard wednesday classes are like sitting through a really really long and boring marathon on tv that lasts 7 hours. yuck.

I just took a shower and I'm done staying up and worrying about Nick. I love him and hope he finds the right path to go down in life, and never forgets that just b/c you go down one path for so long doesn't mean you can't take a detour and then turn around if you realize that detour was the wrong choice, but then again that detour can get you to your destination faster and you can always go back to your path after construction. :D

I hope he gets that.

:]

we were once so strong.

slept 3 hours [[11-2am]] I slept all day yesterday though. I'm trying to get back into a good sleeping schedule so no sleep till 9:30 tonight. I have a job interview in the morning for a Chiropractic Clinic. should go pretty good..the job is in downers grove but the interview is at Glendale Heights. hopefully I at least get a chance. stinks I have school 3 days out of the work week. BUT I have the experience and I'm attending a massage therapy school, its not some random program..massage directly correlates to the spine. I'm just looking for an opportunity..plus it would be great to just get any chance to practice my interviewing. :]

if anything I just want to get my name out there. I have everything ready for 2morrows interview. hopefully the interviewer will see how serious I am even with a part time job. 

I can't wait! hopefully it will be good news! then I will celebrate! :D

I need some extra money too. :]

later!

islands in the stream

joined 11 second club..mostly for nick. its a forum based community for Animation mentor. I really enjoy seeing other peoples work and also there is always someone online so if I had a question about AM or animation it is answered within the hour..by like 5 different people. 

wow it thundered really loud. 

anyway.. school starts back up for me monday, not really excited..but kinda, only b/c it is my last quarter. 

I'm excited for summer and also getting a job and for Nick to start AM.

also SIGGRAPH 09! anyone going? 

it will be good to have a little vacation..and although I have no urge to do animation (besides drawing every now and again..maybe nick will scan some pictures I've drawn for you guys) I've always loved seeing animation and how it all comes together. probably why I was drawn to Nick so much, he is so talented and passionate about computer animation.

well, nothing is really new, just watching the latest episode of south park on tvshack.

Then probably shower and go to bed...spring break has been pretty uneventful, besides Nick's AM news. :D

later

-Case

I'm such a good girlfriend

got nick some goodies 2 seconds ago. I can't say what they are but they were recommended by someone from AM so I'm sure he will be happy with them. :D

can't wait till amazon ships my order! :D

okay sleep time soon! I keep waking up, worried about Nick...I just want him to be happy.
