i have exams on monday and friday of next week and then i'm done with college.

if you happen to want to go snowboarding on tuesday, wednesday, or thursday, let me know.

yes, i am alive... i'm just at scout camp. 

more later, when i have time.

i've spend the last 24 hours trying to pick up the soggy pieces of my life.

what a nightmare. 

g-snaps and i have taken refuge at my parents house for a few days. i should be back in morgantown around thursday or friday. hopefully i'll have an apartment to live in. a non-soggy apartment.

i'm going to go crawl into my warm dry bed now. 

 hmm... so no update lately, seems to always slip my mind.

let's think....

-working at camp this summer, get to play on a climbing tower the whole time.
-have a place to get married! yay.
-school sucks. 
-four more weeks in this semester, then only one semester.
-g-snaps tore up my leg tonight, we're talking serious blood. hyperactive cat.
-it's fucking hot in my apartment. 
-school sucks. 
-i really don't have anything exciting to say. my life is pretty boring. all i do is sleep and go to school. 
-the edit lab owns my soul. 
-i'm told it will own it even more next semester.
-they're changing wvu news to every weeks next year. it's goign to suck.
-school sucks.

that is all.

 today i seriously considered running over a kid in a michigan hoodie.

this conversation w/ the state trooper went through my head:
ST: maam, did you not see the young man?
M: no sir, i saw him.
ST (while reaching for handcuffs): and yet you hit him anyway?
M:well, yes sir, he's wearing a michigan hoodie.
ST: and that was justification?
M:yes sir, you see, i go to west virginia university.
ST (reaching down to cuff said boy instead of me): oh, well, of course then, you're free to go, we'll take good care of this dumbass who sprinted out in front of you with out looking .

sadly i hit my breaks instead of the kid. i bet if i had been in w.v. i would have gotten away with it too.

 January 2, at 7:30 WVU is playing it's bowl game. 

For those of you that will be in raleigh, i'm going to be at sammy's watching the game. you should come join me. there will be beer and merryment.

well, there will be merryment until WVU chokes like it did against Pitt, and then there will be much cursing and screaming by margaret.

be there.

well, that wasted some time... ooo... i know, sleep will waste even more.

i'm sick. 

i have strep throat. which i really think is a sinus infection....but we won't talk about incompetent doctors. 

i'm way behind on school work and have absolutely no motivation to catch up.....so screwed. 

two more days until i can go home. i'm SO READY to go home. the sad thing is i'm leaving g-snaps at home until after x-mas. i just don't want to put him through that trip twice. poor g. kathryn should take good care of him though....hopefully.

a whole week with no school. that amazes me. i can't wait. 

i think i have senioritis. i still have two more semesters....this does not bode well.

i should start on my paper. *sigh*

later days kids.
-m. 

this weekend kinda sucked, but only kinda. 

friday, well, it sucked for obvious reasons. not many pledges showed up for graffitti night, which kinda sucked. 

saturday was okay, i went to foodage and the kingdom, which was much better than i thought it would be. 

sunday was meetings from 3-7, but i got my little, who is awesome! 

the thing that really sucked though, was that one of the guys who live above me, or one of their friends, i'm not sure which threw up all over my car. i could kill them. and i spent eight dollars today washing my car, and it still didn't all come off. i could kill someone. i'm going upstairs in a bit and demanding that they pay for my car wash. 

also, i'm getting sick. which sucks. 

i took g-snaps to the vet today. he's in perfect health....except he's apparently a little overweight. and he hates cars, but who dosen't? he was not happy w/ the vet and tried to claw her hand off while she was giving him a shot. i'll have to remember his tactics the next tiem the doctor tries to give me one. 

i also have two mid-terms this week... yay.

on a positive note, uhm, i can't think of one. next time a more happy entry.

later days kids. 

so, i'm sitting at pittsburg's airport, my flight was delayed. yay for airports with free internet though.

btw, if you have a choice, fly southwest. i've always loved southwest, and today just reinforces it. my origional flight to philly was delayed due to weather, it was supposed to take off half an hour ago. so i'm sitting at the gate screwing around on the computer when they come over the intercom and page me. apparently they realized i was going to miss my connection, so now they have me flying through chicago, which has no bad weather and a connection i'll be able to make. 

anyway, the moral of the story is that southwest apparently acutally cares about it's patrons, unlike other unnamed airlines. 

so, now i'm just waiting for my new flight. it takes off at 7:55. 

later days kids.
-margaret.

when going through the drive thru, one shall:

-speak up. don't scream, but speak loudly enough to be heard.
-speak clearly. mumbling=wrong order. 
-if you are not atr macdonalds do not ask for
     -mcnuggets
     -biggie sized
     -happy meal
-turn down your radio
-get off your cell phone. 
-know what you want before you get to the order box.
-don't go through the drive thru and order more than two milkshakes. they take forever to make, get your lazy rear out of the car and go inside to get them.

-oh, and my favorite: a hamburger from chick-fil-a. chick-fil-a only sells chicken. NO HAMBURGERS! remember the eat more chicken cows?

i'll be in town (raleigh) labor day weekend. if anyone has an extra ticket to the football game, i want it!

sadly i'll be missing wvu's first game, and it's all for you john... tho i'm not sure you're worth it ;).

as a side note, the lightning bolts and seahawks first half was quite the fisasco. four play seires, fumble-chargers, interception-seahawks, fumble-chargers, fumble-seahawks. this is not how you're going to win a super bowl. 

of course pre-season doesn't really mean much, other than FOOTBALL SEASON IS SOOOOOOO CLOSE I CAN TASTE IT!

also, school starts the 20th. three more semeters, i can do it!'

work is, well it's work. i might try to get on at the school newspaper, i need the journalism experience. (also if i can get the experience now then i could possibly spend next summer at camp playing on the climbing tower. i've always secretly wanted to work at a summer camp.)

speaking of summer camp, i got to see john for the first time in forever last weekend when i went to visit him at camp. it was fun. though the shower was gross and i'm not sure how sarah managed to live with it all summer long. it was really nice to see john though. i miss him lots when i don't get to. 

when i came back from vacation i went to pick up g-snaps and he didn't want to come home. my co-worker's (who had be babysitting) mom had been spoiling him while i was gone, so i ended up coming home w/ all the stuff i had sent w/ him and the stuff she had bought him. silly cat. but it's nice to have him back. we've been snuggling all day. 

shit, seatle just fumbled...again. everybody really needs to clean up their act before regularseason starts. ah, i love football.

anyway, i'm going to go back to being a bum, maybe i'll be able to sleep tonight.

as i think it's still too soon to comment on hp7 b/c i don't want to spoil it for anyone. however, i will say it was indeed great.

things about the movie that bug the shit out of me.

1-you don't see dumbledore's howler to mrs. dursley.
2-you don't find out about dumbledore being the order's secret keeper.
3-they don't show any of the cleaning of grimwauld place
4-ron and hermione aren't prefects.
5-harry isn't half as moody and grumpy as he should be. 
6-kreatcher isn't shown very much. kreatcher is the one who sets into motion the shit that happens that night, he's important.
7-neville can't see the thestrals 
8-THERE IS NO QUIDDITCH!! what the fuck, really.
9-you don't hear the sorting hat's new song.
10-they don't make anything of percy's fued with his family. 
11-cho turns in the d.a. not her friend.
12- the fight in the ministry is extremely short. neville in the book is much more of the hero than he is in the movie. 

oh, i give up, i could go on and on and on and on. 

i don't understand how j.k.r. lets them to this to her books.

grr...

anyway.

g-snaps has managed to lose his collar. i've searched the house high and low and can't find it. i can't figure out where it could be though. silly cat. do you think a red collar would clash horribly with his orange and white fur? i need to get a replacement, i don't like him with out tags, even though i doubt he'll ever get out.

this summer sucks. i'm getting progressively lonelier and it looks like i'm not going to be able to see john until august. and i'll only be able to talk to him late at night b/c of him being at camp and my working. god this sucks.i

i forewarn and apologize for the geekyness that is to follow. it maybe a mark of how horrible my summer is that thinking about this stuff is what keeps me up at night. though if you are inclined as i am to the liking and over analyzing of harry potter, then feel free to make your own comments on my theories and to add your own.

over the last week or so i've been re-reading all the harry potter books in anticipation of the release of the last one on july 21st. i have this to say.

1-dumbledore's phoenix, fawkes, will go to harrry.  i say this because time and time again harry has proven himself to be, by his own words, dumbledore's man through and through. i think this will be important.

2-there will be no horcruxes in godric's hollow. i believe that voldemort's plan was to make a horcrux when killing harry, but as his plan backfired, there is no horcrux hidden in godric's hollow. i believe that we have been shown the location of all the horcruxes already, though where they actually are is still left to be revealed. i am inclined to think that the riddle house may have one, but then again.... it's too close to the gaunt cabin. i can't see voldy putting two of them so close together. the orphanage he grew up also a possibility, but unlikely for it's publicness. hogwarts also. 

3- regulus black is R.A.B. he was a death eater, who turned on old voldy. he did somethign bad enough to be killed by voldy... or on his orders, though i suspect the former. the weasley's, harry, and hermione find a locket in grimuald place, though i would think they'd have noticed slytherin's mark. it fits. my only problem with this theory is that it's so popular. j.k. rowling has never done something quite so guessable before. therefore i remain suspicious. i just can't figure out who else it would have been.

4-we haven't seen the end of ginny/harry. i think harry's fear at the end of book six is warranted, and ginny/harry was causing quite a stir at hogwarts, two people have now gone to voldy that know their relationship, snape and draco. i think for the second time voldy will use ginny as bait. if this is untrue, the it'll be ron or hermione. voldy underestimates love, dumbledore always said it, i think harry's love for one of the three will in the end give him the strength and determination to kill voldy. though i'm afraid it will also kill him. 

5-snape. good or evil is the big question here. i was leaning toward good, believing that occulmency took place on the astronomy tower, but there are just too many questions here on re-reading and thinking. the look he gives dumbledore, why if he remains loyal to the order has he not contacted them again by the end of book six, his and harry's last encounter.... it just doesn't add up. here i shall have to force myself to refrain from making judgement until i read book seven. i don't think dumbledore would have been fooled... no matter how much dumbledore like to believe people good. i just don't know. 

i have a few other thoughts on the subject, but i'm not going to put them here as it would take too much time. i feel that the points above are the most important ones. we'll see if i'm right though. well, i'll put in one more word i feel will be important, but i'm afraid that i can't decide how yet.....sirus. 

later days kids.

so, life. yeah, it's boring.

summer in mo-town sucks. there is no one here. i haven't seen a familiar face since d left. well, other than g-snaps. but i've been told that i shouldn't talk to him like a person, apparently it mkes me a little insane. 

the new apartment is great, our bedrooms are huge, but it's just me and g, so we're a little lonely, and bored. very, very bored. 

work sucks. i hate it. i think i'm quiting, when i get a new job that is, but i have an interview on wednesday. scooping ice cream isn't quite as fun as i thought it would be. 

john's off at campschool or something like that. he's supposedly coming to see me soon though. yay.

classes start tomorrow. at least mine isn't until ten.

on another note, yesterday i got up and g-snap's treats were in the hallway. so i put them back into the cabinet, and then i was laying in my bed last night and i hear a sound like someone is rustling a bag, so i get up and there is g-snaps laying in the hallway with his bag of treats. somehow he opened the cabinet, got them out, and then was trying to get them open. i don't know how he even managed to find them. he's a nut. but i love him.
