Every other day I keep checking to see if UJournal is back up...and alas, it's not. They should call it FUJournal! Grrr! I'm so pissed that I lost all those entries! I should have gotten a LJ in the first place. But I think back then you had to pay for it or get some stupid code and I didn't know anybody who could give me a code.

The other day in the mail I got the Baby-Sittes Club book I had ordered from E-bay: Super Special #6 New York, New York! (After I went to NYC I wanted to read it again, LOL). I'm alost done with it (I could have easily read it in a couple of hours....but I've also been busy with work and watching the Olympics!) and it's pretty bad. All the sub-plots just seem really lame. And I forgot about the word "chilly." In BSC world it means cool. God, that is the stupidest word ever! They actually say, "Oh, chilly!" The BSC are so lame. I forgot how much I hated Dawn. She is so fucking stupid. Plus she's a bitch. Let me explain why she's stupid: Okay, so she's afraid of the city (baby!) so she just spends all day in Mr. McGill's apartment just cleaning it. :::rolls eyes:::: So this boy who lives downstairs comes over cuz he's bored and wants to hang out. He broke his ankle and he's on crutches, so he really can't do anything. He tells Dawn that he's going to get a walking cast soon. This is like on Monday. Then the next day he tells her they should go out exploring the city tomorrow and she says "How are you going to get around with your crutches?" Stupid dumbass. Even I knew he was gonna get a walking cast. He just told her that yesterday!! But all he said was he had a surprise and sure enough he shows up with a walking cast. Okay, this is why she's a bitch: they're out walking around 5th Avenue and he says he has a surprise for her and takes her to Godiva to get her some chocolate. And she's disappointed because the bitch doesn't eat chocolate. (Cuz you know, she's from Califoria where EVERYBODY is blonde and EVERYBODY eats healthy food and EVERYBODY surfs). I FUCKING HATE DAWN!!!!! I hate Mallory too. She's so fucking lame and just tries to hard to be cool. At least she isn't a bitch. :::sigh:: I really shouldn't get myself worked up over some stupid BSC book.

I also got the disc of NYC photos from Emily. I can't believe she's going to Bolivia for two years to work in the Peace Corps. That's like....scary. She even wrote a little note to me and in it she wrote "I am looking forward to the travel in South Ameriica, let me know if yhou want to scope it out with me!" Okay...is she inviting me to join her? I mean, that's nice of her but I just seem like an odd choice since we're really not that close anymore (I'm sure she has other friends from her schools that she's closer to) plus I don't think Bolivia is a place I'd want to visit. Plus I don't have any money. Oh, well, maybe she was just being polite!

Both the US men and women's gymnatics team won the silver. I think that's pretty good, espeically for the women since the Romanains won the gold and they're just way too good. Svetlana Khorkina looks like a skelton, but there's something oddly intriguing about her. She seems to have mellowed out since Sydney when she was pissed they won the silver. But she seemed quite happy with the bronze this time. Now bring out the individuals! I hope Romania doesnt' sweep that because that would be boring and non exciting!

I'll tell you something that wasn't non exciting though: that 4 x 200 race tonight! What a race! Michael Phelps started it out for the Americans and Grant Hackett started it out for the Aussies. At first all the countries were about in the same distance...then when they go to the second American and Austalian swimmers, they had distanced themselves from the other countries (which included the UK, Canada, France, Germany and Greece from what I can remember) by quite a considerable distance! The third American guy was about a second ahead of the third Aussie guy, then Klete Keller was the last to go for the Americans and Ian Thorpe was the last go to for the Aussies. This is when it got really exicting. I was a little nervous because as good as a swimmer he is, Klete's only won bronze and Thorpe is the fucking Thorpeo, y'all..he was their secret weapon..he's won countless golds! Now he easily caught up to Klete...but it wasn't enough! The Americans won...but just barely! They won by like a tenth of a second. It was thisclose. The Aussies really gave the Americans a run for their money. It was such an exciting race! The Italians came in third. And the best part? I was unspoiled! So I had no idea who was gonna win. Unlike the other day when I found out Thorpe beat Phelps. Grrr! Stupid computer!

So school started. Blah. I only had one class today: Myth of the Melthing Pot: a Literary Perspective. The good news is that it's from 12-12:50, but the thing that sucks is that it's Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. (UGH!) But it's my only class on Mondays and Fridays. My teacher is Nigerian-American, so she has a bit of an accent, but it's not to hard to understand her. It looks like we have to debate in this class, which I don't like very much..... We only have two papers to write, but one of them has to be 8-10 pages, oh God help me. (LOL, can you tell I'm not very enthused about this class and I've only been to one class?) After class I went to Blockbuster and rented Dumb and Dumberer and Empire Records, then went to Wal-Greens and boughts two folders and a five subject notebook. (I decided to get one notebook this semester, instead of one for each class).

I sold my first item on E-bay for $10.50! Not bad for a starting price of one cent. I think I may now have to sell some of my old CDs I never listen to anymore. I've been really stupid in the past and bought a CD for just one song. But now I think I can make a mix CD of the songs I want to keep on the CDs I want to sell. I may sell some of my old VHSes, but I don't know if anyone would buy them since DVDs have taken over the technology world. I did something really stupid on ebay. There was a CD single I was interested in bidding on, and instead of bidding $1.25, it went $125. I swear I didn't notice it until it was already posted. You can imagaine I was like OH FUCK! $125 was down for my MAX bid, and I actually won the CD single for $12.25, which is still too damn much for one song. I did e-mail the person and explained my mistake a while back, but he never e-mailed me back. So I'm just not gonna pay. I'll probably get a negative mark, but fuck no I'm not going to pay 12 dollars for one song. You think EBAY would give you a ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO BID $125 FOR THIS PRODUCT? memo. You know? God damnit, I need to be more careful!

Awww, check out this cute picture. What is it with little girls and Heath Ledger? LMAO. (The girl is Emma Bolger from In America, she's so preciously cute).
