Hello all again...a new day it is here...but the same old weather, and I'm not going to get into that again.

Actually, I can't write long (mid-terms this week)I just need some advice. Boyfriend's birthday is coming up at the end of this month and I need to know what a 25 year old wants!!!!

I will take any and all suggestions!

Thanks and have a good day,
Nik

Hello all:

It still cloudy and cold here, the weather man again said it should reach 70 degrees today, again the weather man lied. Does anyone watch the weather channel (not only when there is a major storm somewhere, but really watch the weather?) Well I have this wonderful channel on my favorites and I watch it as often as boyfriend will allow! The people on the show now must have come from another planet, I love them but come on...they dance and make up songs so the common folk can remember what a front is...but I love it, it puts me in a good mood. I just wish they would learn how to tell the temp!

Moving on, I want to talk about this little procedure I do everyday, I am not one to wear makeup (although I do wear eyeshadow, mascara, and the occasional lipstick) ok here goes
1) wake up
2) yell at boyfriend to turn off alarm that has been ringing since step 1)
3) race boyfriend to bathroom...so I can take a hot shower (hahaha) ps--new roommate has changed my agenda (AAAAAHHHHHHH to new room-mate!!!!!!!!!)
4) take shower-which also has an agenda
a) shampoo hair and rinse
b) condition hair-let stand
c) wash face with little microbeads that should keep face looking and feeling fresh all day
d) shave...all areas that need to be shaved-unless I just want to be lazy and then you know (who will notice)(unless I end up at the hospital and the nurses/doctors refuse to help me due to the fact that when they touch me I will cut through their gloves with hair that should have been shaven!)(or I need some extra cash and decide to pose nude for the artists at school-and then they don't pay me because my legs look like a cross-stitch of hair)(and finally what if I wore a tanktop and raise my arm to wave at a friend then everyone sees this dark circle gleaming in sunlight)
e) then of course I bathe (with lever 2000 of course for all my 2000 parts)
f) back to step b! Time to rise out conditioner.
5) get out of shower and dry off-first hair and then the rest
6) brush teeth-30 seconds on top 30 seconds on bottom 30 seconds for the sake of brushing (also hope I do not gag myself {which I have been known to do} because I've only been brushing my own teeth for over 20 years and still don't have the process down right)
7) put in contacts--again hoping this process does not end me up with swollen red eyes because who ever came up with the idea of contacts never really wore them!!!!
8) then it's back to my face!
a) I tone the face with toner (which I have no idea what toner is but it must be used with all other face products...I guess if you don't use it, none of the other products will work.
b) Then the face cream is applied (this product reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles and keeps other wrinkles from appearing) However, since applying product I have seen the growth of not one but two lines appear on forehead (AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH)
9) after all of this I give up on hair and make-up and go get back into bed with boyfriend who is still waiting patiently for bathroom!

This when written down seems pointless! I think I'm going to give it all up!

Well that's all I have to say

hey all! How is it going today? It's still cloudy here, again, I am beginning to hate this weather...when it's cloudy for a week it tends to wear on one's emotions. I guess that's what got into me yesterday, but I'm much better today!

I believe my happiness is due to what happened last night...

...it all began when boyfriend and room-mate come home a whole hour early (that may seem like a lot but boyfriend usually works about 70 hours a week, so when he gets off early it always makes me smile :)
anyway they came home and we started on our journey...went to friend's house and I told him I would include him in my blog (so this is to you frat boy). Well we played cards and watched comedy. We played texas-holdem' with a $10 buy in, boyfriend and roommate lost their first buy in and had to buy in again (the pot became $60) the largest pot I've ever played in. They both lost again (well I took them both out in the same hand on their second buy in) roommate went all in and I matched the bet it was only $35 in chips then boyfriend also went all in his bet was $225, I hesitated but again I matched him and then it was time to show what we had...
...the tension was bad...
...I couldn't breathe...
...but finally I turned my cards over...
...two pair Queens and nines...
...boyfriend and room-mate lost...gracefully...but lost all the same. The game was down to frat boy and myself...even in chips , well almost even in chips, frat boy had a little more, after another hour of close hands...frat boy went all in...before the flop was turned I took and deep breathe and released all my fears and joined him in the all in hoping I would win blindly...and I did! I won!! I won my first poker tournament with the boys and I won the biggest pot we ever played for! In my joy and the fact I had one too many vodka drinks, I took my winnings and bought all a nice breakfast/1am breakfast at waffle house (everyone knows Waffle house is only here to support those on Saturday nights who had one too many drinks)

Well there we are the four us (boyfriend, new room-mate, frat boy, and myself) sitting and enjoying a meal at waffle house when I turn around and meet people from the NWA!!! I used to love the NWA...while living in VA I always wanted to meet those apart of the NWA, I used to wrestle in the backyard...I actually got quite good, I was part of the tag team champions, actually my mother still has my tag team belt...it was so cool, I wanted to get an autograph but my friends were quite upset because MR. HEAVYWEIGHT would only give me an autograph if I let him sign my breast...which was never going to happen...so I left gracefully wishing them good luck and taking the memory with me...I was so happy!

Well last night was good...I won my first big poker tournament and met people from an organization I wanted to join when I was a child...it all goes to show even on those days when you feel down and sad there is always those chance meetings that will put things back into perspective and the little things in life really do help change your mood...even just slightly...

...one final thought...I wish Mexican was there, he's a good friend and I missed him there last night, but I guess if he was there I probably would have lost the poker tournament

all things do happen for a reason!

Guten Tag! Mein Name ist Nicole. Ich komme aus Nashville, TN. Wie geht es Ihnen? Es geht mir so lala. Ich bin fleiBig, lustig, und interessant heute. Und du? Wie bist du? Das macht Ihnen SpaB? Meine Hobbies sind tanzen, karten spielen, und einkaufen gehen.

Well there you have it, the only thing I really know how to say auf deutsch! How is everyone today? Not that there are many keeping up with me, but that really isn't why we write is it? Don't we do it to really see who we are and what exactly we say?

Anyway it's still cloudy and windy where I am today. I just burnt my lunch so I may not be eating lunch today! I hate it when I burn my food, but I do it all the time! Still researching Mars I hope I find some good info!

Well tonight I am going to play cards, I hope I win...there are no other girls that play just guys, but it's okay! I just sometimes wish I had more female friends in my life! I miss my friend from back home, but she's having a baby and can't come seee me right now...oh well I'll just have to beat those stinkin men by myself!!

that's it for today folks...kinda sad today...bye

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone is having a great day! To continue my misery from yesterday I would like to let everyone know I'm no longer in horrible pain, it's gotten bearable over night! Boyfriend brought medicine home and bandaged wounds! I looked really funny last night with huge bandages all over my arm. Today I awoke to see I tore bandages off during the night and I now have bruises along with the scrapes-but I am okay and feeling much better.

I finally finished my letter to Vice President (I don't know if that's supposed to be capitalized but since it's an important job I figured it would be polite!), I hope he enjoys what I had to say-it would be really cool if he replied. Even is his secretary wrote I would be ecstatic!

Well here in TN. it is very cold...I think it's around 60F. To me that's cold, there is a light drizzle that has been falling for about six hours now, no sun just clouds again! One day the sun will return.
----The sun will come out tomorrow, tomorrow---

I have had a really productive day today. Went to school and took a test...learned some new German...ate lunch...read many interesting blogs. I love to read what other people think, it's really cool when you find out there are so many other people who just like you!

I'm going to finish Dracula today. The book is kind of boring-mainly because it is written through letters, but if I can just force myself to stay awake I may be able to figure out this novel is required in my class.

I was thinking today I might want to purchase land on Mars. A fellow student informed me that one could purchase land on Mars for when Earth dealers will be able to live there. Does anyone know if this is true, or where I can find some interesting info on Mars? I'd like to hear opinions too...my next term paper is coming up and I think I may write on whether we should begin making arrangements to live on the next planet....

....or not, I don't know! I need to do more research.

Well guys (and girls) I'm off to read and research...have a great Friday.

Nik
