I'm now on Myspace, even though I refused to join a year ago. I don't know how I feel about it yet. It just seems like a more personalized Facebook. But my url is www.myspace.com/book_worm83 I'll probably update that blog more often than this one. So if you're really hankerin' for some Amanda news, go there ( Read more... )

Well, it's been almost two weeks since I started working at Target. And it's really not all bad. I mean, I get 10% off any purchase I make, and the people there are all super friendly. Working as a cashier isn't so hard to do, it's mostly repetitive, but every now and then you get a customer who wants to do something wierd. Like today, I had ( Read more... )

It hasn't been all that long since my last update, but so much has happened! I have a job - it's not a long-term job, but I'll be making money!

Anyway, it'll be a temperary job that has ( Read more... )

Well, Rita decided to head more east than was expected, which was all right by my family. My aunt and uncle, when they saw she had been downgraded to a III, went to bed - slept through the whole thing! The bad part, though, is that a lot of people went east of Houston to escape the city. I haven't been watching the news much, since my aunt and ( Read more... )

I know it's been a few weeks, but I had to update tonight to tell everybody about Rita. My aunt and uncle live in Houston - they're the relatives we went to visit in July. With Rita now a class 5 hurricane, all the roads are jammed full of people evacuating the area. Imagine all the roads packed with people two weeks ago from Katrina, and ( Read more... )

First of all, I want to give a big shout out to all of my EIU friends: I love you guys!!! I'll be up there the weekend of the first FB game, and I can't wait! I'll be out there in the stands, cheering you on ( Read more... )

So, most of my friends are enjoying band camp this week. Actually, it's probably everybody who reads this...that's funny! Ha! As I sit here in the air conditioned house, sipping my ice cold water in a pair of fuzzy blue slippers, my friends are coming back from a long grueling day of band ( Read more... )
