1. Do you live in a house, an apartment or a condo?
A house. Actually, a four-bedroom, two bath double-wide mobile home. Yup, I'm white trailer trash.

2. Do you rent or own?
Marcus is technically the owner, so I guess I'm a renter since I pay half the payment.

3. Does anyone else live with you?
My boyfriend, Marcus, two dogs, five rabbits, a parakeet, a lovebird and some fish.

4. How many times have you moved in your life?
If you count all the times I moved in college, it's got to be well over 20. Since I left for college in 1984, the four years I have lived where I am now is the longest I have ever stayed put.

5. What are your plans for this weekend?
Sleep, work, housework.

So, how weird is this?

I was driving down Buckley Rd./Airport Blvd. on my way home from school today and I got stopped at the traffic light by Aurora's technical school (Pickens). It just happens to be across the street from the veterinary office where I had to have my rabbit, Stryper, put down about six years ago. I couldn't help it, but I started bawling and missing him terribly. Probably due to sleep deprivation more than anything, but the pain I felt was just as bad as that day. I'm going to have to put Styper's story on my pets page. He was a good bunny.

I finished the thumbnails! How pathetic am I, though? I was doing some of them in the car in the school's parking lot and, luckily, the teacher had to deal with a new student that gave me a few extra minutes to finish the last two. (whew!) He said he really liked my work and was impressed. WhooHoo! So, I've had less than 8 hours of sleep in the last two nights. As soon as I finish tomorrow's assignment (should be less than an hour), I'm off to dreamland! Yay!

Somebody's using my lycos mail address to send spam. I found this out because the undeliverable ones were sent to me. Does anyone know what I can do to find out who is doing this and make them stop? I wonder if this constitutes identity theft and fraud or if it's just immoral. People truly suck!

Twelve (12) down, eight to go. Man, these are taking forever. Sucks that I have to leave for work at midnight. Doesn't look like I'm getting any sleep tonight. Boo!

I'm trying to do 20 thumbnail sketches for newspaper ads that are due in class tomorrow. I've got six done and I'm supposed to be in bed already. Argh!

The Hayman fire is bad when the ash has finally made it all the way to Byers. I just went out to get the mail and it's floating all over out there. Ick.

I had to take Marcus' truck in to town again. He tried to put the starter in last night, but since we have no garage, the mosquitos were thick and the old starter wouldn't let go of the engine block, he returned the starter and had my mechanic install one. It only cost about $30 more than the part did, so that's cool. I still don't have the money right now, but I'll work something out with Marcus.

Well, back to thumbnail sketching.....
