seeing as i really have taken up residence next to the printing press, i feel it is only fitting that i should begin posting images of what i am working on. so, as a quick update:points to whoever can guess what this is based on (without cheating!)this plate is being used twice, so don't be surpriseda photoshop'd guess at what it will look likeanother photoshop job, again based on what the plate

mmm.... sickness.

2008-02-04T02:36:00.000-08:00

my sinuses hurt to the point where i can't sleep. and the weird noises coming from the room above me don't help. i think somebody just died up there.sculpture is still frustrating. the teacher is bizarre to the extreme, and i'm not sure that plaster dust is the best thing to be inhaling for hours on end. and art history.... bah. what a joke. i've taken to writing a list of questions during

yesterday sucked.

2008-01-23T23:34:00.000-08:00

here's why?-woke up feeling sick. went to class anyway-class was Art History. teacher was more inaccurate than usual-left class with a migraine-took a nap trying to mellow out said migraine. didn't work-chose to extend nap, still hoping to make head feel better. ended up sleeping through first two hours of Print Lab time, but still had headache.-checked Facebook, and found out that Heath

for fuck's sake, people!!

2008-01-14T16:40:00.001-08:00

it. just. didn't. work.why isn't that a good enough answer? i really don't feel like going into details with every goddamn person who wants to know when/why/how Sam and i stopped dating.really. it's getting old.i've begun using the "buying a car" analogy. basically, it's like test driving a 2007 Jeep- it's nice and all, but it doesn't match quite 100%. why should i have to explain myself

wow.

2008-01-13T16:57:00.000-08:00

some fairly impressive events that have happened in the last 3 days:-nearly got flapjack'd by a blue sedan.... AS A JOKE-asked for my number by a cook at a local restaurant. he also gave me extra guacamole because i jokingly asked for it. kinda sweet, i think-got dropped back at Square 1 after a fairly painful 3 am conversation. this will not be happening again.-went to the movies, and

i pissed off a professor

2008-01-10T10:59:00.001-08:00

... and it's not even noon yet.story:my Art History (gag) professor put out a disclaimer at the beginning of class today, saying that she had never given this lecture before. 'oh shit', i think to myself. actually, i might've said it to Katy, a friend of mine who was sitting next to me.Prof. begins lecture, and quickly proves that she has no idea what the Olmec tribe was really about. just

stupid sculpture class

2008-01-09T09:54:00.000-08:00

i got up this morning at 8.30, even though i reallllly didn't want to. took my wake-up meds, pulled on a clean shirt and socks, and marched over to the art building to pick up my tool box before class.which was cancelled. no email, just a note on the door saying "Professor Alt will not be in class today, Wednesday, January 9. Please read chapter one of the textbook."she held up the text

and it goes on

2008-01-04T23:04:00.000-08:00

a quick update, starting with the latest:Sam and i are no longer together. we loved each other (quite a lot, in fact), but that wasn't enough to make up for our differences. and i wouldn't want to ask him to change- that's not fair to expect someone to change their personality just so you can continue to enjoy their company.don't get me wrong- i had a great time. it was awesome a great lot of

man....

2006-11-01T07:36:00.000-08:00

i finally passed out around 5, and about 2 minutes ago, the heating system came on for the second time this term.and it was loud. like small individuals were in it hitting pipes with pick-axes.did i mention that i went to sleep at 5?

fuckin halloween.... and pot.... :(

2006-11-01T04:23:00.000-08:00

i just got off an 11-hour shift.and i was standing/walking/running the entire time.i'm sure you can only imagine how lovely this case of what i call "boot foot" is :-Din other news... uhh... fuck, that's right, i have no life.or at least not at this time of the night. it's sleep time.cheers!currently:about 6 inches from the mattress

8 am doughnut run!!

maple old-fashioned deliciousness...and when i got back, Pete (the janitor that cleans up after our crazy college kid asses) was mopping up the broken wine bottle that some genius had chucked at one of the outside doors. classyPete's actually a pretty nifty guy. he kinda looks like this with a hint of this.and if you can name those two, infinite kudosback to bed for me! wheeeee

mind-numbingly sexy

thaaaat's me! err.... that was me. Friday night. at Rocky Horror:)i'm in the process of rounding up photos, and trying to decide which ones to share and which need to stay hidden... most are falling in the second category :pworked all weekend, and i just finished my homework for tomorrow... slept from 8.30 am until 11.30 am today, and i'm fuckin tired..... and these Doritos aren't sitting

i need to stop eating now.

2006-10-24T04:46:00.000-07:00

seriously, it's ridiculous. i originally wanted ONE wheat thin, but when i couldn't find the box, a trip to the vending machine was made. i didn't think anything would come of it, since my card has been rejected on and off all weekend, but lo and behold, it registered!!!so i bought a Snickers, a Take-5!, a Butterfinger Crunch, a 3 Musketeers, and a small bag of Dorito's.all that's left....

haha

2006-10-18T17:35:00.000-07:00

i got sent home within about 5 minutes of getting to work... my sickness isn't easy to hide. oh darn, i guess i'll just have to write my spanish presentation (which is going to be on AIDS), and watch "Jurassic Park" with Nerd Boy :pbleh. nap time. cheers!

nice...

2006-10-18T08:11:00.000-07:00

i woke up for my 8 am meds, and couldn't get the thought of a maple-frosted old fashioned doughnut out of my mind..... so i hiked my pajama-clad ass down to the food court, amidst the oldsters and sad people with early morning classes, and bought myself a delicious, delicious doughnut.and i ate it. and it was incredible.doughnuts really are better fresh :poh! my one class for the day was

ah, sleep... what are you, again?

2006-10-17T12:35:00.000-07:00

i tried to post around 4 am last night, but my computer decided it wanted to restart without telling me, and the entire post went bye-bye. oh well.if i were to try and take a nap right now, i'd probably miss Film class, which would suck. Or i'd wake up in time, but this fucking migraine that i've been fighting the last few days would've returned with a vengeance. no good, that onei stayed up

i don't feel like existing today

2006-10-08T15:24:00.000-07:00

last night i worked the football game (which my school's team won, for once in their miserable existence), and it was fucking cold. standing out in the cold night in one spot and being hungry did wonders for my body. i was almost done being sick.... and the nevermind, it's all back. with a vengeance. here's what the Sick has to say:"haha, you dumb bitch. you think you could get rid of me

i'm sick.

2006-10-03T01:53:00.000-07:00

and it's no fun.thankfully, Nerd Boy was on hand with hugs aplenty. hahai'm going to lay down. because as fun as sneezing/coughing/dying/etc. is, sleeping sounds like it might be fun too.adios!Currently:Reading: All The King's Men by R. P. WarrenListening to: "So Alone" by the Offspring

the perfect day (no really, it was)

2006-09-29T21:53:00.000-07:00

today... ahh, it was good.first, i showered, and the hot water was lovely.then, i came out of the shower to find the boy i was going to have lunch with hanging outside my door. i had my RA/friend entertain him while i pulled on my brown corduroys and old grey Beatles t-shirt. rrrrrow, no?when we left for lunch, i happened to check my mail box.... and guess whose older sister had sent her a

classes, life, etc.

2006-09-27T01:54:00.000-07:00

classes are good, people are good, sleep is good.it's good. it's all good.ok, not really. but i can pretend, right?funny story from work today (well, yesterday):sitting in the office after a depressing meal of dormness, my supervisor got a call over the radio."College 96, just received a report of a nude male walking past -Building X- heading towards the middle of campus."oh boy. yup. nekkid

insomnia, how i hate thee....

2006-09-25T02:48:00.000-07:00

i'm morbidly tempted to get "insomniac" tattooed on my person somewhere... but ha ha, it's already permanently displayed under my eyes.first day of classes... well, class. haha. yeah, i've got one class from 2 pm - 4 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. Tuesdays and Thursdays, i have a 10 am - 12 pm class, and a 2 pm - 4 pm class. it's fairly joyous. oh but wait- i work Monday, Tuesday, and

oh dear goodness NO!

2006-09-21T18:14:00.000-07:00

people are returning to campus! it's horrific! i can't walk through the halls without needing to elbow my way through a clump of new students...no worries, i'm being nice. they're NICE elbows :)i've been sleeping a lot, which is odd. for example: i was awake for about 5 hours yesterday. woke up at around... noon? went back to sleep a couple hours later. up again at 8, back to sleep by

huzzah!

2006-09-20T04:26:00.000-07:00

life is looking up these days. not sure why, but right now, i'm in a pretty good mood. wait- could be better, just a second...deodorant + hand lotion... yessir, things are looking up :) who knows, maybe a shower might even occur in the next twelve hours. or whenever i wake up. no rushwork's cranking up, which is lovely. apparently, my supervisors are impressed with my confrontation skills

i beta'd my blog!

2006-09-15T04:08:00.000-07:00

so much purple on the side, but i'm strangely comfortable with it...labels for this post, eh? well, we'll see what comes of this typing.tonight is my last night in my house. tomorrow, the housing dept. is kicking my mick ass back into the dorms... noooo... i hate it there. it never actually feels like home, but rather just some place where i kick my shoes off and pass out.which i should be

it's gone! huzzah!

2006-09-13T01:30:00.000-07:00

that's right, folks: Kyle's stuff is no longer sitting in my house! woohoo!!!he left it here at the beginning of the summer, when we were still together... and it has been sitting in the spare room, serving as a constant reminder of how much shit i've sorted through this summer.hooray for sorting through shit! haha... sort of.other than that... nothing new. wait- there might be a new cell

as my travelling days end...

2006-09-11T02:44:00.000-07:00

my moving days begin! that's right, ONCE AGAIN this little mick will be changing residences. no worries, my lovely stalkers, it's just right down the hill from the window through which you're watching me now :)but yeah, moving.... i gotta pack my shit up and be down there by the end of the week... i might be able to get away with moving in next week, since i'll be working this weekend....

and i'm off again!

2006-09-08T01:57:00.000-07:00

i've been running I-5 ragged (for those of you who don't know, I-5 is the main highway up the west coast)... and tomorrow, i'll be doing just a bit more damage: it's back up to Eugene for this bug. thankfully, i'll be taking the greyhound this time, because i'm fucking tired of driving. tired in general, but especially of driving. i'll be sleeping on the greyhound, with any luck.work is good.

post-wedding analysis

2006-09-05T15:33:00.000-07:00

yes, the wedding was incredible. the ceremony was short, Lindsay looked lovely, and the food was.... well, it was ok. nothing that was vegetarian looked too good, but they had these funny little hors d'ourves (i have no bloody idea how to spell that) which i enjoyed (tomato slice and mozzarella with pesto on top of a little pastry fluff). oh! funny moment... the woman who was the caretaker

back from Seattle!

2006-08-28T22:43:00.000-07:00

and although i bought postcards, i never mailed them. oops.hope people don't mind an Ashland postmark. grrr.... there was literally no time to sit down and write postcards, which angers me. and was a little exhausting...but the trip went well! lots of fun and driving...and yes, a bit of a car accident. NOTHING TOO BAD. the other car has maybe two scratches on it, and mine.... well,

daily business.... yup yup

2006-08-23T14:59:00.000-07:00

and the fun times that will (probably) follow.first and foremost, PAX! The ladies and i will be basking in the warmth that is the direct stare of 5,000 nerdy gamers... ok, i should elabourate- the big difference between us and them is... err... well..... look it up in a biology book. and it has nothing to do with fungi, lemme tell you that.alright, to be perfectly blunt, we have boobies,

what the fuck, body?

2006-08-22T17:34:00.000-07:00

seriously, mon petit carcass, what the fuck?i'm tired almost constantly these days. you wouldn't know it from reading my last few posts, but i wake up around 5 pm, and am ready to go back to sleep by midnight or so. this makes less than zero sense to me.... and i think you know why.and even when i'm awake, my body feels heavy and slow. there's fuzz wrapped around my brain. i have to rest

who knows

2006-08-21T04:53:00.000-07:00

today was short, and speckled with highs and lows.i woke up at around 5 pm, and was still tired. which is kind of lame. and now, 12 hours later, i'm beginning to fade again.went down to Kelli's work and hung out with her during her lunch break... also chatted with her coworker, Gina. that woman is fuckin hilarious! and her personal life is rough right now.... she's my hero. one of many :

sleeping while it's dark? what?

2006-08-20T04:21:00.000-07:00

it's true. i'm about to get ready for bed, and it's still dark outside.although who knows.... maybe i can hang in there long enough for the sun to show itself. SHOW YOURSELF! what movie is that from? or did i just make it up? i'm so fucking tired.Jimmy's still out of the picture, but it's a slow process. after he woke me up at 7.30 in the fucking morning yesterday to let me know he's got

i will be forced to go to drastic measures in order to cleanse myself.i'm thinking Clorox bleach wipes.eeeeewwww..... nevermind.i wonder if i have a song on my computer called "Hurry The Fuck Up! Yeah!" that i could blast through the door..... :Di'm magic! the water just turned off! huzzah!

2006-08-18T13:05:00.000-07:00

i just got a package in the mail! woohoo!!! now, to open it...for some reason, Tim hid the knives once he heard that i've been having panic attacks. not sure how that adds up.... "Hi! My name is Meghan! I like cheese, frogs, creepy psychological thriller movies, and cutting like an emo kid in high school while listening to sad ballads by Green Day." what?!anywho... where's a pen... wait!

oh well.

Jimmy is out of the picture. it happens.no worries, it's not like i was ordering new stationery or anything :pi'm going back to sleep... or is it "going to sleep"?? i don't know if i've slept yet. how sad is that? ah, i laugh at myself.mental note: check mailbox... huzzah!Currently:going back to sleep... butListening to: "Yesterday" by The Beatles

crazy ass dream last night...

2006-08-14T04:13:00.000-07:00

in my dream, there was this secret organisation that stole females and sacrificed them for some reason or another. their headquarters was this little house that pulled a Harry Potter when you walked in (it became a fuckin huge factory inside). for one reason or another, it was on campus, and i kept trying to prove to everyone else on CPS (Campus Public Safety) that this place existed, but

and life goes on (well, for some of us)

2006-08-13T06:18:00.000-07:00

Clyde is gone. he left in the early hours of this morning, while i was at Kelli's house watching "Frida" (good movie, btw). when i got off work at 0100, i'd noticed he wasn't looking right, so i took him (tank and all) over to Kelli's with me, and some time during the film he chose to check out.it was good while it lasted.i buried him out back, near where we used to go sunning. if the
