| Okay, So tell me why my Time Warner Cable Broadband Internet is not working??? I tried to get on all last night and couldn't, and yes I reset that damn box and I turned my computer off and on and I still couldn't connect!! So I decided to call them today and tell them my Internet was not working, WELL first they try to tell me to do everything I have already done, thinking I am some kind of idiot or something!! Trying not to loose my patients, simply told then I had done that 10,000 times and my light on the box was blinking, soooooooooo then they told me oh well we can't come out till Thursday!!!!!!!!! Well normally when I was in school and has other access to the net, that would of been fine, but now i'm not in school, not working at my internship anymore and don't even have a land line to connect too!!!!!!!!! THIS SUCKS! But I mean because i'm looking for jobs and such my whole life revolves around this thing at the moment. SO I told my mom and she told me to go to a library, WELL lucky for me there is one right by my apartment, so I get there and of course I am a dumb ass and forget my power cord and my comp will not turn on, so then I notice they have computers, so I try to get on one but see you need a password, Well I go to the front desk and there is this retarded looking Jewish guy (no offense to anyone who's Jewish!) and I say excuse me how do I get on the internet, and he says "you just use your code!!!!!!!" LOL again trying not to get mad, I say oh I don't have one, and then he was like yes you do!!!!!!!!! And i'm like NO I DONT!! And he is like yes you do it's on your card!!!!!!! And i'm like I DONT HAVE A CARD!!!!! So then he was like oh, well you can sign up for one, so I fill out all the paper work and then he says can I see your ID, and of course I still have my TX ID and he was Like OH I need to see proof you live at this address here in LA, and Im thinking for a damn library card????????? And I tried to explain I just moved here and he was still a BITCH about it and said NO, so now after being really frustrated I said well this is an EMERGANCY I need to use the computer, SO then he was like OHH well there is a 15 min computer you can use around the courner, so I thought okay that might be enough time to check my mail, WELLLLLL I go around the courner and its in the CHILDRENS section and I try to log onto YAHOO and it BLOCKED ME!!!!!!!!! I COULDNT EVEN GET ON YAHOO! SO by this time I was soooooooo mad I got in my car drove back to my apt grabbed my cell phone bill, my rental lease and anything with that address I could find to prove this fucker wrong, and I went back and shoved all of it in his face and he finally gave me the damn card, but it doesn't matter because now I have my power cable and I am on my lap top sitting here in this stupid rinky dink library GRRRRR life is frustrating! | | |
| As some of you may know my dad past away this week. He died from Liver Cancer he got from Hepatitis C. It has been hard because he died 40 mins before my plane landed in Austin and I did not get a chance to say goodbye to him while he was living. We had the memorial on Saturday and it was nice. A lot of people showed up despite the short notice. (Thanks Heather so much for coming, it meant a lot to me!) Susan his sister, me and Jessica my step sister all spoke. It was hard for us to go up there, but we all did and we said really nice things. Before the service Susan told me a lady who had been praying for my dad was going to pray for all of us to have courage to go up and speak. Knowing that it helped me not break down crying, though it got hard toward the end. I talked about the memories I have with my dad. Some of my favorite are ones on his boat. He loved said boats and the water. He always took me out on his boat he named after me (the Crystal Michelle) We would swim, fish, hydro slide and scuba dive. I also remember fun times in his car the Honda Prelude. He thought he was so cool in that car when he would roll down the sunroof. I will miss the fun we had going out into the country of Texas. I will miss his stories he told me over and over about his childhood and friends. I hope I always remember these stories because its all I have left. It saddens me that my children will never get to know him. I will never be able to talk to him, or walk along the lake shores like we did. I will forever remember the times I had with him and hope he knows I loved him even though I didn't always show it. He was not perfect, but then again who is. He will forever be in my heart and I will never forget him. Thank you for all who prayed for him and now I ask if you could pray for my grandmother, it has only been 8 months since my grandfather has past and I know how much this must hurt her. No mother should ever have to burry their child. She has gone through a lot this year and deserves the best. I hope I am able to stay in touch with her because she needs me more than ever.

| It is amazing to me to see how life can turn so quickly. One minuet someone can be sitting right in front of you fine and the next minuet they are gone. This is what happened to me today. I graduated on Saturday, so my mom and Jack came to Florida to help me move. It took us two days of driving to make it back to Houston. We get home and of course Cindy Lou (our Chihuahua) is excited to be here, Blackey (our cat) was complaining as usual, and Rosie (our cat) was sitting on one of the chairs in the livingroom looking happy (or least I thought) I went and gave Rosie some attention because a lot of times she got left out (Cindy Lou gets a lot of attention for being cute and in your face, and Blackey is old and complains so he gets attention) But poor Rosie always stood to the side unnoticed. I am so glad I got to pet her and give her attention because it would be the last time I would ever be able too. We were home for about 15 mins and Rosie seemed fine. I petted her and she was enjoying it. Then we started unloading the car and the next min we knew Rosie was on the ground on her back Panting really badly. My mom went up to her and noticed she could not use her back legs. So Right then and there we took her to the emergency 24 hour vet. They took her in right away and then the assistant said she was in needed some oxygen. We waited in the lobby for over an hour and the whole time I was thinking "Oh Rosie is okay she just had a fall or something", then the next thing I knew we were called into a room and told Rosie had Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy ( its like a stoke, a blood clot forms in the heart and paralizes the body) They said she was in very bad shape and she would not recover. So we were rushed in a room to say goodbye. She was laying on a table with a respirator in her mouth and a heart monitor. I could hear her heart weaken. my mother and I was in tears. I didnt know it was that bad! I have always had cats die at old ages, I never had a cat die befoe 10!!!!! And all of a sudden!!!!!!!!! It happened so fast and she was hear one min and the next gone. Our family loved her. We had her since she was a kitten and have very found memories of her. She was a little overweight, but still a beautiful cat. She had black fur, but under her fur was a beautiful silver coat. She was always sweet and loved most people. I am going to miss her a lot. It is hard for me to except god's wishes right now because it happened so fast, but I am thankful to him that he let her live till we got home. I know she was hanging on till her last breath. She didn't want to leave and waited till the whole family could say good bye. I am not totally sure what happens when we die, but I would like to believe there is a better place and that everyone we knew and loved will be waiting for us. Rosie will welcome me to the gates of heaven!

| Well This is it!!!!!!!! I finally made it all 4 years of college!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!! I am so happy that all my work and classes are over with!!! The only scary thing is where do I go next? Right now I am going to have graduation on saturday and then next week go to South Africa for 3 weeks!! I am really excited because I will get to go on a safari and see the Indian Ocean!!!!!!! But After Africa is the scary part. I applyed to several grad schools, but I am not having too much luck (bad GRE scores!!). I really would like to go to USC in LA. So I am hoping to hear back from them soon. If I dont get in I think I want to go there anyways and take the GRE over again and apply for spring. After doing the play at school I am really intrested in seeing if I could make a go at acting. I have several prospects in that department, but the trouble is convincing my mom!!!! AHHHHHHHHH what to do what to do,
update sure to come! | | |
