Currently listening to:
Death Cab for Cutie - Plans
Currently reading (just finished):
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (trilogy)

My favorite song of the moment is DCFC's song called Marching Bands of Manhattan from their album Plans. Totally loving it! Just be happy that I don't post the lyrics and bore you all! (all two of my devoted readers...)

This Thanksgiving was fantastic! Despite there being an over abundance of food, we had hardly any left overs and by the second night, there was nothing left. It just goes to show how tasty my mom's cooking is. I hope to one day be that good, but it won't be any time soon.

Things are coming together nicely for the end of this semester. I am working on my third and final essay. As soon as I'm done with that (Friday) I will have three finals to study for. No sweat.

I have a job now at the SGA Computer Lab on campus in the Student Union. It's been a long time since I've really enjoyed my job...have I ever enjoyed my job? One that I got paid for? It's debatable.

I've also been watching the first season of Scrubs on the DVD set that I got this past weekend. Is it wrong that I think Dr. Cox is..... a huge slice of the beef cake? If you see his picture (which I will not post for your amusement) you'll think I'm nuts, but just watch a few episodes of Scrubs and then you'll know I'm nuts. (^_~)b

Aozora is so cool! My friend, Aozora, who is currently living in Japan, now has a job at a shrine. She reminds me of Rei from Sailor Moon. She's going to transform any minute and kick some major Nega-Verse ass!! ...with her phone. Hey, those Japanese phones can do everything! Among other things, they can be used as a blunt object. Very dangerous...


I'm so jealous!! o(>_<)o

She even has the cool socks (ToT)

Dear Strong-buttons, Let's not mince words...I love you guys!

Yeah for me, I got a picture-o-me-self!

With Chrissy and Darcy. Christina's taking the picture or she would have been in it too. Yeah for short hair! Only more than 6 weeks later. It was cuter when it was shorter. Less big and flat on top. I don't know if I can do this whole thing of getting my hair cut every month and a half. I got it short thinking it would be easier to take care of! (It is easier to take care of, but at a price...about $40 each cut!!)

The shirt that I'm wearing is my special "Sew and Tell T-Shirt". I just recently got the Box Set for Ghost in the Shell. In the box was this really awesome shirt for the Stand Alone Complex with the laughing man logo ("I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes" -Catcher in the Rye). But the shirt was XL. I was swimming in it! But I really liked it and though I wouldn't have spent money on it had it not been in the box set, I decided to spend the money to have it altered. The story behind it makes it worth it's price. $30 later, I'm sitting with a super cute T-shirt and my friends! Totally worth it! I was so impressed with the seamstress at the "Sew and Tell" tailor place! (I'm sure you can tell why I picked it out of the others, I totally had the intention of showing everyone and watching their eyes grow when they hear how big it used to be. She must have cut yards off of the thing!)

I wanted "Nina-isms" as my url, but someone already stole it

It would seem that Google is quite liberal and probably Democrat. Check this out:

1. Go to http://www.Google.com
2. Type in the search bar "Failure" without the quotes
3. Click on "I'm feeling lucky" instead of "search" and laugh at the website that comes up

Enjoy!

Love-
Nina

Becca and Tucker I think it was...

You scored as Kaylee, the Mechanic.
Kaywinnet Lee Frye: tomboy and ace mechanic. Besides being super-cute, you are also adorable, which makes you a double-threat. I'll forgive you for choosing Simon over Jayne, but just this once.

What Jung Really Said

Just over a half month later, I finally have a single picture worth posting from the Halloween party at Stephanie and Lupe's place. Personally, I think that the lighting could be better but you get the idea. Christina did a fantastic job with my makeup and she looks super sexy too!

This is the pg version of our costumes ;)

Peace (^_^)v

Essay #2 COMPLETE
Whoooo
Next, to begin Essay #3 *sigh*

This comic should be read out loud. It's funnier that way ;) Click on it to make it larger. Enjoy!

Time! Time! Who's got the time!!

La La La wasting time, wasting time....

So, while I fool around, doing the minimum amount of essay writting, I've found a couple of great time wasters! Enjoy!

がんばって！ニーナちゃん！！

I stumbled upon my nameless self in the local newspaper last night. Personally I'm shocked but apparently it's old hat. If you're interested by all means read! I'm just the little blurb at the bottom that says:

"A Largo High graduate who is studying Japanese in college and plans to teach English in Japan helped found the Japanese Friendship Club."

Thank you Mrs. P for putting in my two cents while I'm away at college!

Its times like these that make me realize how many people are going to be watching me and what'll happen if I let everyone down. It's really very intimidating!

I have to keep reminding myself that I'm not doing this for anyone else but myself and that's what gotten me to where I am now. If I did this for approval or because I thought people would like it, then I wouldn't have made it this far... I feel like the worst part is behind me; the studying and the waiting. But truly, it's barely begun!

(Both highly recommended)

Writing essays and studying for tests seems to be the main theme of my life these days. That and goofing off. There’s nothing I like better than good ol’ procrastination. Hence my update. I’m currently working on my second essay for my independent study class. Four pages and counting… I need 10 (ToT) Next, I have a take home test in essay format, and last I have a test to study for. All three of these things are due Thursday. Do I stress? Fret? Freak out?! Consult the Azande for a benge oracle?! NO! I procrastinate! Weeeeee

So…stuff’s happened since the last time I updated. I cut my hair and it looks fantastic! But I don’t have any pics to show. I’ll get some soon. I then straightened it and it looked even cuter! And you know my policies on keepin’ it cute!

I’ve found an awesome webcomic, thank you Dan, but the chick never updates so don’t count on anything, or so I’ve been told. http://rts.lunistice.com/index.html
Here’s my favorite comic (She’s playing with string cheese btw):

Other than that, nothings going on. I’m trying to come up with a Christmas Wish List and so far I’ve got nothing. I have the entire series of Ghost in the shell, We <3 Katamary, and the last of the manga X. Stupid Animenation had to move right next to Fresh Start Church! What’s up with that?!?! So, got any ideas for good presents? Do I need a digital camera? What about stuff for long travels like a suit case? I definitely need one of those heavy duty ones, but do I want one for Christmas? I know the odds are good, but it’s like I’m counting my chickens before I’ve been accepted by JET. Maybe I should wait…
