Gravity

I'm in a 'Twilight' mood... or well... a 'New Moon' mood I suppose would be more accurate.

Pg. 495 harbors my favorite line out of the first 3 books:

'...How many ways can one heart be mangled and still be expected to keep beating?'

This song is the epitome of New Moon!!

Yay Sara Barielles!!!

Something always brings me back to you.

It never takes too long.

No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.

You keep me without chains.

I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your

rain.

[CHORUS:]

Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.

Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.

But you're on to me and all over me.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.

When I thought that I was strong.

But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

[CHORUS]

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground.

But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.

The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down

The Cute Neuro-Psychology Major :]

I gave my talk today.

It went really well!! Surprisingly enough!


I got many a compliment on it.


Also, I had a very nice, in-depth conversation with a very cute guy about neuro-psychology.

I wish to speak with him again... perhaps next week

:]


Here is a rough schedule for my week:

Monday - Taxes

Tuesday - Either Ecclesiastical Endorsement w/ my Stake President or Classic Skating with my Relief Society chix.

Wednesday - Ghost Hunters!!! :]

Thursday - PROVO TEMPLE!! Yay!! :D

Friday - Nothing.... yet

Saturday - Avery's 1st Birthday BASH!! ... @ Auntie's house, ofc ;]

Sunday - Speak with cute Neuro-Psychology Major again! :] ... that and visiting teaching


:]


I pray that my week at work will be just as nice as my after-work activities.

...wishful thinking :P



TAKE LUCK!

Ernest L. Wilkinson Center, Rm. 3224

I'm speaking in church tomorrow.

No one is coming to see me, however.

Which I suppose is alright; I would probably just be more nervous were there actually family members there... judging me... along with all the other 160 people in my ward...also judging me.

Tyler Belnap came home from his mission (Mexico City, Mexico) this past Wednesday. His welcome home talk is also this Sunday... at the very same time I will be giving my not-so-grandoise talk.

My family will, however, be attending his welcome home.

I suppose it's better that way.

They haven't seen him in 2 years and they have to put up with me everyday.

Were I them, I ... no... nevermind... I would still want to hear me talk.


If anyone happens to read this before 1 o'clock Sunday morning... we meet in 3224 in the Wilkinson Center, BYU.


:]


Happy Saturday!

:/

So Long, Farewell, Auf Weidersehen to the 'U'..

O my Holy whiffleballs Batman!!!

First:

I am sorry that I haven't written everyday on this blog like I said I would.


Second:

I did something today that I promised myself many years ago that I would NEVER do....


I applied to BYU.


:O



I 'officially' turned down my half tuition offer from the University of Utah and pushed the 'Submit' button on my application to Brigham Young University: Provo.


In 6-8 weeks we will see if I will get to bleed blue.


If I get 'Rejected' (like so often happens..... thanx eHarmony!!) then I will go and bleed green.

Today I also discovered that I am still enrolled at UVSC (soon to be UVU).

I found this out only because I needed to obtain a transcript from the one concurrent enrollment class I took waaaaay back in August of '05.

So yeah..... hopefully by May we will know if this Wolverine/Ute will morph into a Cougar.




WISH ME LUCK!!!


:]



*Prayers wouldn't hurt, too..... I reckon :] *

Brave, Brave Sir Douglas, Brave Sir Douglas Ran Away!!!

3.6.08 Thursday


Today the world was set right!!!

At about 10 to 4 this fine afternoon the valiant Knight of the Geek Squad, Sir Doug galliantly (galiantly.. gal-yant-lee) rode into my office and fixed my computer!!!

And.... in record time, I might add.

A whopping 10 minutes for Sir Doug to destroy the beast that took 5 other not-so-galliant squires 3 weeks to slay!

Also, in those mere 10 minutes Sir Doug hooke up my printer!

And brave Sir Douglas ran away!!!

HAPPY 8 DAY!!! :]

3.5.08 Wednesday


Today is a magic day!!!

3 + 5 = 8

3/5/08

YAY!!!


So... it just dawned on me that this will be kind of like my journal... sans all the really personal stuffs.

o.0


What?!

You can't expect me to dish on everything!!

I still need to maintain a healthy dose of mystery in my life. :P


Alright, let's get to my day.


My computer had about 20 million viruses on it last month.
Erica called IT... they re-did my computer that very same day. But it took them 3 weeks to hook my printer back up.

o.0

YAY for proficiency!!

Anyways, so since last week my computer has been running smoothly.

No more horrific pop-ups advertising adult sites.
No more junk

Nothing

We are clean
Life is good.


Or so it was up until this morning o.0

I pushed the pretty grey Zeus button... 20 minutes later my computer kicked on.

Red flag #1

*Note, I call its a 'Zeus button' because Zac Power used to sign his name as a circle with a vertical line sticking out of the top. Zac's nickname was Zeus and everytime I see that symbol, methinks of him.
...Also Lucky Charms. :] *


After that it took another 10 for Outlook to open.

Red flag #2

Then the McAfee virus scan thing popped up and started listing 50 million more viruses that it had found on my computer and deleted.

Red flag #3

So, I pick up my phone and call IT.
Luckily a new person answered the phone.

Well... I don't know if she was 'new' par say... but it was a lady person & I had spoken to pretty much every male IT had to offer.

I'm sure they're sick of me.

:]

So I tell the lady the scoop; what's going on with my computer along w/ a brief yet detailed explanation as to why it is not I who is guilty of perusing through the adult sites.

She files a 'Trouble Ticket' and tells me she will send a guy down to fix my computer.

that was at 8:30 this morning.

[It is 7:34 as I type this from the luxury of my dad's la-z boy and a Geek Squad representative has yet to pike around my office and make the world right.]


So, I log onto Melissa's 2nd computer (yes, she has 2... two offices, two computers... idn't she sumthin'??) so that I can atleast have Outlook open incase someone decides to email me.

I check my mail.

Create this blog page.

Melissa enters the scene.


M- Why are you on my computer? Is yours not working?
E- It died again.
M- Died? o.0
E- As in... 5 billion viruses have reinhabited my computer.
M- Again?!
E- Don't worry, I've called IT and they're sending a guy down to fix it *this was a little after 9, mind you*
M- Erica...you know that our department has bee cited because of excessive viruses, righ? AND that the department is now having to pay to get this cleaned up?
E- Huh? Because of some doof who plays on that computer?
M- Erica, you can tell me... do you go to any 'Adult sites'?
E- What?! NO!!!
M- Do you use any mesenger programs...like MSN?
E- No. *Fact: I HAD msn but ~ 2 months ago I took it off. Ask anyone... I'm rarely on anymore... unless it's 11 o'clock at night. Phill, Sam, and Alex can vouch for that*
M- Well... the guy who fixed the computer last says that the only way those kinds of viruses could get on is if someone visited certain sites. Do you go to any bad sites?
E- No. I just go to Office Max, Facebook, Blogger, and Yahoo to check my mail.
M- Sure *walks out*
E- makes mental note to self *Do NOT do anything but go to Office Max and Hosp. Admin. for check requests!*


So apparantly... according to Melissa... I am an internet whore who likes to destroy computers and make people pay massive amounts of $$ out the nose just for kicks.

Yeah... way to make someone feel great about themselves.

=)

Woot!

How-dy all!!


A one Captain Stephernie Ryn made the comment about how she would absolutely LOVE it if Erica had her own newspaper or magazine; something she could reference daily.

Well... my magazine days have since passed (yay Argus!!! ^^)

So now you will be graced with my makeshift newspaper!

I'm not 100% on what I should entitle it... so if you have any suggestions, they would be much appreciated.

:]



*post script*

Also, methinks I should have a pen name o.0

Suggestions for that would also be much obliged.

:)
