Jamie has black stuff on her hands.
Okay, finally thought I would share because I'm geeky. I know everyone knows of MySpace, well, this is another Social Networking site with kind of the same setup as MySpace, but it's for gamers instead. It has a real life character and then you can set up profiles for your different game characters, or whatever else you want to lie and make them into. =p But, yes, I thought I would share since that's fun.

My reference number is 2854 ! That's in case you don't use one of those links. That way I'll know. Anyway, enjoy either way. I will respond to comments and all that jazz later on, I wasn't home AT ALL this weekend. I thought she was going back to school today, but not until tomorrow. So, yes, off to clean and all that jazz! Sign up!
I have been in the process of going back to school and it has been an extremely hectic one. It is an online university and I am officially enrolled and in classes now, but it was an annoying process since I ended up looking for information just as the registrations were ending. It was funny because I put down my information on there just thinking they would e-mail me some information but instead the lady ended up calling me and from there on I was officially in the process. The school is American InterContinental University Online and here is the website http://www.aiuniv.edu/. I was looking for an online school to start off with since I haven't been in school for about six years and because Azalea was finally all settled in her school and the holidays had passed, so I was looking. At the moment I am going for my Associates in Business which will only take about 13 months, which his awesome compared to the normal two years. I didn't want Business, but they have Masters in Education later on, but you have to start off with Business, so I am. I don't really mind at all now, though. It's refreshing learning new stuff. Each course is five weeks, so you don't even have to deal with them for very long if you do not like them, and you have two assignments per week that are posted in the beginning of the week along with reading materials, course materials, live chat sessions and a discussion board. It works perfectly fine for me. After the second course I am pretty sure you then take two at a time which accelerates your progression towards the degree. At the moment I am taking Business and Society and then the following courses are -
3-18-2007 - 4-21-2007 - Fundamentals of Marketing
4-29-2007 - 6-2-2007 - English Composition
4-29-2007 - 6-2-2007 - Computer Applications

Whee. So, yes, that has been taking up most of my time. All the processes of financial aid are really annoying, but I am sure wayyyy less annoying when done mostly online and via fax machine, which was the most annoying. We had to fax quite a few things many times a day. It was not keen. At the moment my payments are 220.00 a month, so not that bad, and it is totally worth it, so I don't mind.
I handed in my first two assignments yesterday, so we shall see how those go! One was rather short, and on the discussion board, but the other one I wrote was six pages long, so yay. APA format is scary and that is what I am still most worried about, but we shall see how that goes.
On a much different note, my birthday is Wednesday, which normally I wouldn't care about in any whatsoever, but yesterday Kell got me tickets to The Apple Tree which is a show starring Kristin Chenoweth, whom I am totally in love with, on Broadway, specifically at Studio 54. It is a three part act and she plays four different characters. Each one is a strange story of some kind, one being Adam and Eve, one being The Lady and The Tiger and the last one being a chimney sweep who turns into a movie star. Her voice is so amazing and she is just so cute! They are Row D Center Orchestra seats, so yay! Unfortunately they cost 360.00, but yeah... they are hopefully worth it! I haven't seen a show since Les Miserables years ago, so I am terribly excited. They aren't actually on my birthday, though, since the 8 p.m. show was canceled, but they are on Thursday, so not much further off!
Later on I was planning on sharing The Miss Saigon soundtrack with descriptions of what goes on in each song so that people can listen and love it, too and then, if I like how it came out, I will do more musicals! Yay for musicals! Miss Saigon is so sad and amazing. It takes my breath away. I already adored Lea Salonga as Eponine, Pocahontas, Mulan, singing Jasmine and more, but it was amazing to hear her playing that part. It's such a tragic story!
Heroes is still awesome and everyone should watch it.
I also have awesome pictures to update with in a bit, but I wanted to make sure I got my actual entry out!
Yes, you read that correctly - you see, I have taken so many pictures of mine, Kell and Azalea's eyes that I decided to give them their own gallery, but I decided that since I like eyes so much that I want other peoples' eyes, too! So.. send me a picture of your eye, with your permission to use it and your contact information that you want used with it and I will post it into my photo gallery over on GJ where this project is beginning. I know this sounds odd, but I am odd and I do not care if I don't even know you! If you read this and are interested in joining the project just leave a comment here, or e-mail me at Tifa.Rinoa@gmail.com with "GJ Gallery Eye!" as the title. Anyway, thanks for your participation should you decide to help out!
Here is the gallery -

Well, as I have stated many times now, Heroes is my new favorite show and the best show on television, without a doubt and I know that nearly everyone on my friends list would love it, or else you wouldn't be on my friends list. Mwahahaha. Just meaning... we have things in common and that's why you're here, so trust me on this!
The show Heroes is about Super Heroes like X-Men! They are humans with extraordinary abilities and they are just discovering them and the plot is unfolding. It's still the first season and it just came back on last night after being off for the Holidays but at the moment the Heroes Website has every single episode online - they usually only have last week's episode and then two minute recaps for the rest, but I assume because it's coming back on right now and they want people to watch it, they have them all up, so if you want to get into it, now is the time, while they are all there! Go there and check it out!
