I've been volunteering to take over shifts people don't want. I've worked 8 hours a night for the past 4 nights. I like this. I think I'm training myself to not need much sleep. :P

Next to last Orientation today! Woo hoo little freshmen! :P

I miss getting emails from my small brother. :_(

I think I'm obsessed with decorating my dorm room. Too bad I'm on such a tiny budget.

*stretch*

So last night I worked midnight-8AM at Rawls. Very very peaceful and quiet over there! YAYY! Tonight I worked midnight-4AM at Rawls and 4AM-8AM at RTN. Monday morning starting at 7 I have check-in for Orientation so I'm going to have to call Mr. Thrash tomorrow afternoon and tell him that 9:30 Monday morning for an organ lesson won't do this week... maybe he can fit me in another day.





Sleeping Beauty theme is going well... that satin pillow came and this one came:

Which regrettably also has Cinderella and Snow White on it, but it was the perfect colors and it did not cost very much. But for everything else I JUST want Sleeping Beauty on it. It's so hard to find stuff with JUST Sleeping Beauty on it, I have come to find... I never noticed she is NOT the most popular of the disney princesses. I wonder why that is, she was always MY favorite. Other people have poor taste. You'd think Sleeping Beauty bedroom stuff would be easy to find. But noooo. And mostly everything with her on it also has Cinderella, Snow White, or Belle on it too. Blah. I found some posters and a couple of other pillows online though. But I'm a miser. I hate spending. *gloom*

So the joke here right now is people asking "So Hannah who are you married to today?" because that's my easy way out of every bizarre creepy guy situation-- "I'm married." :P Pretty funny. But it works. Even creeps respect marriage. LOL!

I think I want to get some books. Some books I never read before. I want to read some more books by Thomas B. Costain, and I want to read Dracula and Death Comes For the Archbishop and A Clockwork Orange because I never read them before and I think it would make me feel smart to read some more books I never read before.

Our number or CA's has disintegrated by 5, for one reason or another, since the beginning of the summer. :(

Alas no Harry Potter party yesterday.

Why would anyone want a ringbearer pillow for their wedding that had a black rose on it? *death*

Because they're a Muggle.

Sa-weepy!

Ay ay ay ay, Lambda Chi Alpha got here this morning. I worked the desk from 4AM-8AM and then had a small break for breakfast/putting stamps on mail/washing dishes and then worked the check-in station ("Hi, what's your last name? Ok, spell that for me. Ok, you're going to be in room 2821, that's on the north side through that hallway up on the 8th floor. Are you going to need a parking pass? All right, well they'll take care of you right down there at the end of the table. Mmmhmm, thank you, ok what's your last name?). Because I like money, I signed up to work two check-in shifts back-to-back so I worked 10AM-6PM. Then I was soooo tired I went up to sleep til my midnight-4AM shift.

Me sleepy but my paycheck will be good! I got a RAISE! Because minimum wage went up. So my miserly self is looking for any extra shifts to add extra money onto my paycheck. Besides it's not like I'm doing anything else (sleep? sleep is for morons) so I might as well sit at the desk and make money yes? It is nice to be busy and help out and make money. >:)

I now have about 20 million LCA guys living on my floor. They have all been really nice and polite! But there are so many of them! 800! The place is crawling!

So that's why I didn't answer the phone when La Madre called this afternoon I had my phone off since I was at check-in.

All my coworkers are reading Harry Potter. Vilay's almost done with the 5th one and Alla's almost done with the 7th.

Trying to develop my Sleeping Beauty dorm theme without spending oogles of money. I've found some pretty inexpensive stuff and that makes me happy like this :D

Someone should call me and let me know what time we are having a birthday party. I think I can come about 6PM? *wonders what time the birthday party is*

I don't recommend Pan's Labyrinth. I don't mind blood and gore except for torture, and there's torture scenes in that movie, and I don't do torture scenes. *barf* Battles yeah. Torture no. *squeamish*

Ok see you later :)

He always lets the Quaffle in

Diet soda keeps you healthy yessirree. But I hate diet soda. :P

Potter marathon Saturday?! You peeps are so silent!

Found a silverware organizer at Target for $1.99 that fits in a drawer! Cheers! Away from the dust and grime of the air! YAYYYY clean dishes!

And Shelby doesn't care, she's sweet and precious. Her reply was "If anyone's mad I'll just dispell all hard feelings with my magical wand." Yeah. Cause THAT works so well in repairing the damage she might have caused someone's Harry Potter experience...

Target has the book for $18 right now!

I'm really glad I went to the midnight party. It was the last chance and I always wanted to do that so I'm really REALLY glad I got to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harry Potter Marathon

How about... this Saturday for a Harry Potter marathon? Yes? :D

So I finished Harry Potter. I can't wait to develop the pictures I took at the party! :D

Trying to add pink and turquoise/disney Sleeping Beauty decoration to my room without spending lots of money. Target has LOTS of pink and turquoise dorm stuff right now! I bought the pink plastic 3-drawer storage-mobile thing from Target because it was half the price of the turquoise one at Bed Bath and Beyond and there were only TWO of these pink plastic things total in all the local Targets. So rather than take all summer and decide and not be able to get it cause someone else bought them both I spent $12.99 of my hard-earned cash on it...

I also found some throw pillows on ebay for very good prices and so I ordered them too...

And I hung the pink and turquoise paper lanterns from my ceiling. There is a wooden square with two screws in the ceiling where the OLD smoke detector used to be before they replaced it, and I hung the lanterns from the two screws. Easy as cake. And they look really good!

"And you SIMPLY..."

I should have an HGTV show.

So I need to know when we're going to be celebrating La Fiesta de Padre on Thursday.

Shelby J posted her status as "not believing that *insert Harry Potter plot twist*" on facebook. Thank the MAKER I had finished the book before I saw it or I would have been MAD, as it was I posted on her wall saying that it was not really kosher for her to post the ending to the most popular book in history on her facebook 48 hours after its release. She relplied that she was sorry if she ruined it for me but she just HAD to write that, besides, she had decided to stay offline til she finished it and assumed all other Potterfans would do the same.

So I said that she hadn't ruined it for ME, but she couldn't expect the rest of the populous to stay offline just because SHE had decided to do that. I said that REAL fans looked down on people who spoiled critical elements of the books/movies for others.

REAL fans keep their traps shut.

Katie keeps begging me to tell her what happens (can she not go to the library?) and I'm not saying. I don't approve of spoilers.

I want that pillow I saw on the Bed Bath and Beyond website that's shaped like a heart and is turquoise and pink. But I don't remember seeing it at the Bed Bath and Beyond STORE.

Now I shall go do the key inventory.

Harry Potterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

Ok here there be NO spoilers, just so you know. Katie already texted me asking me to tell her what happens and I will NOT be responsible for spoiling ANYTHING for anybody.

Ok ok ok so the Borders party officially started at 9:30PM and that's when we got there. I was all official and reserved with my name on the "exclusive invitation" list. They gave me a Borders light-up glowy wand thing on a necklace and a blue wristband. And a raffle ticket. But I didn't win anything.

So I dressed up in my Hermione costume. I had my hair in braids all day to make it all wavy later. And I had on a black robe with a white shirt and my Gryffindor scarf. And there were lots of people dressed up and all the staff had on robes and one of them had on a Dumbledore hat and a beard. Some people who had considered themselves too cool to dress up wanted their picture taken with me.

And I saw lots of people I knew like Mary and Emily and Mrs. Thrash. Mr. Thrash was asleep.

We listened to the Snape Debate where people stood at the microphone and argued for which side they thought Snape was on. I said Snape was good because Dumbledore knew things we didn't and trusted him, and Dumbledore's kind of like God and wouldn't be that wrong. And the whole thing at the end of the 6th book, where Dumbledore would never beg for his life but he WOULD beg Snape to kill him and not let MALFOY do it.

They had a Harry Potter spelling bee and a costume contest. Lots of people were dressed up, lots of Harrys and Trelawneys and an entire Gryffindor Quidditch team and some Bellatrixes and dementors and one Umbridge.

It was great super fun, we had to stand in line ages though because the orange wristbanded people got to go first and then the silver wristanded people and then the blue (green, purple and pink were even later). There were a MILLION people there. But we got exclusive posters free when we got our book and since we preordered we got 40% off ticketed price so it was only $18 instead of $34.99. Pretty cool.

Everyone here at work has been reading it and we're all really sad it's the last one. The inside of the front cover reads "We now present the seventh and final installment in the epic tale of Harry Potter."

The dedication says "The dedication of this book is split in seven ways:

To Neil
To Jessica
To David
To Kenzie
To Di
To Anne
And to YOU, if you have stuck with Harry until the very end."

I'm so excited! I was going to stay up all night to read since I got the night off from work but I got so sleep around 5AM that I went to sleep 'cause I wanted to enjoy it instead of being barely awake.

And so we must have a Harry Potter marathon, except is hard to find a day I don't have something in the exact middle of the day to mess it up and we get in trouble if we miss staff meetings...

HARRY POTTER COMES OUT AT MIDNIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*yawn*

4AM-8AM shifts make me sleepy. So I drink coffee and eat dark chocolate m&m's and read "The Phantom Tollbooth" and look forward to when I go back to sleep at 8AM. :P

So me and Abby had lots of fun yesterday! We hung out at her apartment and then hung out at her housesitting house and played with the two dogs and three cats and looked at the turtle and found the Methodist hymnal on the piano and played straight through it. Then we went to sleep at 5AM on the "trundle bed" (I need one of those) in the upstairs guest bedroom. Pretty fun.

I like my pretty cat. I am working on a Lexie page in my scrapbook.

That's a pillow I'm getting to decorate my bed. I found another one that's pink and turquoise and I'm going to get it too.

I saw "1408" (John Cusack, Samuel L. Jackson) the other day. The worst part was when the dude was trying to escape from the room through the vent and there were roaches inside. The rest of the movie wasn't so bad...

Someone should watch "Stagecoach" with me. It's so boring doing everything by myself. :P

And I think next week we should have a Harry Potter marathon and go see the fishies.

Hallo

And so... I have that movie "Stagecoach" with John Wayne that Daddy always talks about and so we should watch it. Indeed.

I'm gradually making my pink and turquoise room a pink and turquoise Sleeping Beauty room. Because all I ever do in my room is SLEEP. *grins* So now I look for disney Sleeping Beauty things. I don't care if that seems like a kid idea, I like it. And it's already pink. And that's my favorite disney movie. I have it on dvd now. We should watch that too.

I LOVE that Bigelow assorted teabag box. It's almost gone. Right now I REALLY like the green tea that was in that box. I drink tea or coffee when I work at the desk and so my delicious teabag box is almost gone.

I'm going to buy some guppies and keep them in a goldfish bowl and watch them multiply scandalously.

Ivan The Terrible always faces whatever way a person is standing. Whatever side of the bowl I stand on, he faces there... it's strange. He knows somebody's there...

New singer I like:

Me and Rachel, we went to Dillard's and tried on lots of pretty formal dresses on sale for $20 each and she could wear all of them but I couldn't wear ANY of them. *grumble*

Harry Potter movie stank. It was like a really long preview. Or a patchwork quilt of Harry Potter. At least they put the Dursleys in!

The other night I had Rachie spend the night and we stayed up and partied wildly (ok, so we watched movies and worked on our scrapbooks) til 4AM and then we were exhaustified and went to sleep but at 5AM for the FIRST TIME all summer the fire alarm went off. *creepy man's voice:* "Please walk to the nearest exit. Do not use the elevator."

"Do not pass go. Do not collect two hundred dollars."

SO me and Rachie got up and walked all the way dfown seven flights of stairs at 5AM and then since I was on duty that night (figures I'm on duty the night of the fire alarm) I got to key into everybody's room and make sure nobody was hiding in their rooms.

Toby was on duty too. He's from Australia, so he volunteered to "ring" the "fire brigade" for us.

There wasn't really a fire, by the way.

There wasn't a fire the next day either when the alarm went off at 6:30AM. I was at the desk. And it wasn't the creepy man's voice alarm, just the annoying piercing wailing alarm, which meant nobody had to go outside. But I couldn't figure out how to shut it off. I've shut it off before and what I did LAST time wasn't working. So I "rang" for "police services" (lol) and the policeyman came and HE couldn't figure out how to turn the alarm off EITHER til he "rang" one of his "comrades" down at "police headquarters" who told him how to do it.

And so... and so...

I need to do the key inventory.

Hello.

I am very sad that I already planned to go see Harry Potter so I don't get to go see it you with you peeps.

I get paid today.

I have some dark chocolate m&m's.

Midnight-4Am shift and then 7:30AM orientation check out.

Sleepy.

Lots of coffee.

Naughty, naughty Charlotte Church. So much for the voice of an angel.

And so, and so... today me and Rachie went and bought some scrapbooking things for our scrapbooks. We bought:

1. 12x12 paper
2. Stickers
3. Glitter glue
4. Adhesive photo borders

Oh yes much fun.

And I got an email from my small brother, even bigger fun.

Oh yes and we also ate at IHOP.

Did I mention *yawn* I saw "Transformers" *yawn*

Oh look I'm posting! :D

Ok so I'm working 8PM-4AM. But it's ok I'd be sitting around surfing the net or reading or something anyway so it's nice getting paid for it, yes?

Yes.

When I went to the grocery store, I got pimento cheese... and... it reminds me of being a little kid at Grandmother's house. *beams*

I read an article about NPR. It made me laugh. "We hear all the time from people who say they talk back to their radios. I’ve had young people tell me they remember from when they were little-bitty that they could sing the theme from "All Things Considered." People send us pictures of their babies and tell us how their first words were, "I’m Robert Siegel." (http://www.medialifemagazine.com/news2001/may01/may07/4_thurs/news4thursday.html)

Someone please volunteer to come take a picture of me and Rachel walking across the street at the intersection of Patterson and Central. For some reason it reminds us of the picture of the Beatles crossing that crosswalk in London. And we want that picture for our scrapbooks.

Thanks to my small brother for the Denver pictures.

I really feel like watching that old animated movie of "The Phantom Tollbooth."

Today I accomplished four Very Important Things.

1. Heather and I went to the Residence Life office and straightened things out so I can move directly into her 6th floor room and not have to move twice
2. Got my school email account fixed
3. Got all my money from my job- past paychecks
4. Deposited all of said money in bank

It is nice to feel like I'm accomplishing stuff.
