a molehill?

What I have to do.. Sort which clothes to pack, store or toss!

Moving is such a pain in the ass! X-)

clean up?

Because I am moving to Maryland in 7 days, I feel it is time for me to weed out the 'nonspeakers' from my AIM list. What I meant about 'nonspeakers' are the people on my buddy list who never talk to me anymore.

I will unblock those on the block list and erase the ones who never talk to me. Of course, I'll keep a back-up copy of the buddy list before I make the changes. It would be refreshing to start anew and have room for the ones who WILL talk to me when necessary.

So, I'll start cleaning the list after I move to Maryland.. So, you 'nonspeakers' got 7 days to change my mind! :-P

how to get lit up.

Pah! I found my dream job!

goosebumps.

I wanna see this movie so bad.

sibling fun on mother's day.

On Mother's Day, my sisters and I were having fun scarfing down fruit, cake and sweets dipped in chocolate fondue.

Kosette was being mischevious, flaunting her butt, "Hey, check out my ghetto booty!" Then, I suggested we compare butts, she bent over next to Alison while I took a pic. It was a fun night!

I miss my sisters already! :-/

quiz plug - what wise quote fits you?

What wise quote fits you? [pics]

Your wise quote is: "Reality bites with a variety of sizes of teeth"(-Tony Follari)
As a person, you think life is just plain painful, horrible and everything else you don't like. Happy people confuse you. Alot. I mean, why are they so happy anyway? You are depressed and perhaps utterly alone and live life rather montone. You feel there is no reason to really be here and feel helpless.

quiz plug - what can people see in your eyes?

What can people see in your eyes?(great ANIME pics)((IMPROVED!!!))

People see anger in your eyes. You are probably a good person, but you have a quick temper. You may sometimes find yourself snapping at your friends or family. People should know not to piss you off, but be careful. Your temper could cause you to do or say something that you really don't mean.

aftermath.

You already saw the past picture of a bottle with berry-flavored barrium. I had to drink that nasty stuff.

But wait! There's more!

I was at work, waiting outside of a workshop so I can clean up once it is over. I was looking at my sandals and thought this is a good photo op for my feet in that chair.

Then I looked at my yellow bandage and thought it was nasty they had to shoot me with a needle for the CT scan. *sigh* I paused and thought maybe I should take a peek. So, I did.

I was revolted to find a really ugly bruise that I got from 4 hours ago!!! It is darker than it looks on my sk2 camera.

Ugh.

meow.

This is the nasty stuff. I had to drink 2 bottles of this for a CT scan in a few minutes. Wish me luck!

new idea.

I've been wanting a tattoo on my upper back. I like the Celtic Tree of Life. But I also want to add wings and a sakura tree on my back and sides. The trick is to figure out where to put them and how big/small do they have to be.

Interesting.

a weakness.

I noticed I have a weakness for those chocolate covered sunflower seeds from Trader Joe's.

*sigh.*

a graduate's night.

Congratulations to Jarmilla, Alcira and Jack on graduating from Phoenix College on May 12, 2006!

Xoxoxoxoxoxo!

I'll post their interviews soon!

yoohoo!

I see Clifford and his ma! ;)

tonight.

I can safely and pleasantly say that I am happily drunk!

Been a great day for me at school and work. I also made good friends with some people I see at different events and locations. I finally met them in person and now, got some new, cool friends!

Thanks for a great night, Laura! And congrats on completing the IPP! ;)

a dirty bird?

Don't you think that sign is a little suggestive?

Heh! I'm at a car wash right now, because Robert wanted to trade his car. We would have skipped the car wash and went straight to the dealership, but some damn bird took a dump on the backseat car door's handle. When I first discovered it, I pointed it to Robert and exclaimed, "Yee-HAW! Look at *THAT*!!!" He rolled his eyes and said his mom believes it is a sign of good luck whenever a bird shits in your car.

What do you think?

a quote.

I was watching a film. It is not bad at all. If you want a good, tearjerker movie, get Black. One of my favorite quotes from the movie is:

"Life is an ice cream. Enjoy it before it melts." - Mr. Sahai, Black

life explained.

On the first day, God created the dog and said: "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years."

The dog said: "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?"

So God agreed.

On the second day, God created the monkey and said: "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year lifespan."

The monkey said: "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?"

And God agreed.

On the third day, God created the cow and said: "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years."

The cow said: "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"

And God agreed again.

On the fourth day, God created man and said: "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."

But man said: "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"

"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."

So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.


Life has now been explained to you.


*hat tip to my mom for this story!*

another observation.

Is it just me?? Why are the Deaf teachers current with what's going on with Gallaudet and most of the hearing ASL teachers aren't?!?

258.

That's just sad when many hearing ASL teachers know nothing about audism, Gallaudet's current issues, Jane Fernandes and I. King Jordan.

If you are a hearing ASL teacher, please let me know if you are or aren't aware of what's going on over there at Gallaudet! Thanks!

43 go where? 43 do what?

Where do you wanna go?

What do you wanna do?

I know I wanna do this or go there!

43 Things

I found something very interesting: 43 Things. Go check it out! ;)

do this.

I wanna do this!

death of a muse

I cannot write.

I would not let myself dream.

I have stopped living.

a rare form of crap.

My roommates and I saw a movie tonight. Let me post a review later about the film.

Anyway, after the film finished, we walked out the back exit so it would be quicker to get back to the car. On the way to my roommate's car, we spotted a Ford Focus parked at one end the the parking row. We saw something in the backseat of the car.

Holy fucking crap!

"Crap" is exactly right! The WHOLE freakin' backseat of the car was full of crap, newspaper, water bottles, milk jug, used paper soda cups, a shamed box of Entenemman's (sp?), and a lotta more crap! If you name it, the backseat's got it! It has less than a foot's worth of space left between the surface of the crap and the car's ceiling. It's a white garbage can on wheels! W-O-W!

Now, I can tell people I have seen a Ford full of crap!

here is proof.

That the 70's still alive! ;)

That's Frogotopia. Last night, he needed to borrow my sewing machine and make an outfit for Toast this weekend. It looks good! We had fun chatting and working on the outfit.

Me wonders what VeeKoz will think. She's going this weekend with Frogotopia. Lucky them! I'll be stuck in the city studying for finals and doing some work for my school.

quiet thoughts.

Concerning the issue with Jane Fernandes being the new President, I feel that she has to go. I feel that Ron Stern is not a viable candidate to be the next President. After all, who wants to give power to people who support child molesters?

A couple of things I completely agree with many concerned and pissed off Deaf people, the search for the next President needs to be re-opened. Jane needs to go! And no one will be punished for their role in this protest.

Gallaudet University seriously needs new blood in their BoT, Administration and Presidency.

New Gallaudet President

New Gallaudet President: "As a leader, I 'lead from behind,' and identify talents that people have and nurture it."

So, in her point of view, she can paternalize the Deaf students with a roll of toilet paper?!?


Anyway, I sent a question and hope it will be answered!

"If a significant number of Deaf students drops out in protest of your new position as President of Gallaudet, how will you handle a "ghost town" campus this Fall?"

Molly Lichlyter Marks needs your help!

My Dear Family and Friends,

As a former seminary teacher of Elliot's, I share this information I received and join in the plea of Molly's cause.  Kosette and Alison became friends with the Lichlyter family and love Molly.  If any are able to help, this is a worthy cause to a very dear family.

Also, would you please considering sending this e-mail on to your family and friends? Thank you!

Lola

-=+=- -=+=- -=+=- -=+=- -=+=-

Dear Friends and Family:

As many of you know, our sweet Molly was first diagnosed with liver cancer six years ago when she was a senior in high school.  She very bravely handled her first surgery in March of 2000, to remove 85% of her liver.  Hopes were high that the surgery would remove all existing cancer and that she would recover without the need of any further treatments.  Great things were in store for her.  Molly met and married the love of her life - Elliot, a devoted and supportive husband and best friend.  Molly and Elliot were then blessed with their miracle baby, a beautiful daughter, Jaycie.

Unfortunately, in the summer of 2004, her cancer returned - again in her liver.  The same surgery was performed, and once again great hopes flourished that this would be the end of this battle in her life.  However, in February of this year, we were all crushed to learn that not only has the cancer returned, but that the tumors are inoperable, due to size and location.  Molly's only hope, at this point, is a liver transplant, which needs to be performed as soon as possible given the aggressive rate at which her cancer is growing.  Surgery is scheduled for May 24th.  This is where we come to you with a plea for help and prayer. 

From a medical standpoint, Molly is prepared for the surgery.  All necessary tests have been performed on her and her younger brother, Zach, who has graciously volunteered to be her donor.  Molly's insurance company finally consented coverage for her after an extensive appeal process.  However, they have declined coverage for Zach.  Today we were advised that Zach's insurance has also denied him coverage as a donor.  This news added devastation to already existing devastation.  Molly's immediate family and close friends are doing all they can to quickly gather the necessary funds, which must be paid prior to surgery, but we have a large goal to reach.  The estimated cost is approximately $50,000 for Zach.  Not only is the surgery a great expense, but Molly will initially be on 18 medications to support her acclimation to her new liver, and then lifelong anti-rejection medications.

With humble hearts, we reach out to you and ask for your help.  An account has been set up in the name of Molly Marks at Bank of America.  The account number is 0043-7991- 6588.  Truly, we are sincere when we say no gift is too small.  We know that the small, yet generous, gift of MANY is all it will take to help Molly.  Time is of the essence.  We appreciate all of you who have been praying for Molly and our family all these years.  We can especially use them now.  Thank you for being a part of this journey with us.

For questions regarding the surgery, please contact the Good Samaritan Transplant Center Coordinators at 602-251-2700 or Peggy Lichlyter (Molly's Mom) at (602)843-2885 or lichfam@cox.net.  Please feel free to forward this to any who might be willing to help.
