Its all neat and my brother is on it and stuff. *Obsolete*Actually, my blog home is now http://melissa-house.blogspot.com where you can find me posting about the recession and poor skills.

Anyway, to breifly update, I was feeling much better for like, a week or 2, and now I'm once again in the dumps. Anyway, I can't wait for school to be over so I can go escape to my dad's and get some nurturing. I read the ladder theory today and I found it incredibly uncool. I also watched a bunch of Sailor moon, which made me feel better, and Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1115445688760640812005-05-06T22:53:00.000-07:002005-05-06T23:01:28.763-07:00I actually feel like writing.. but its just venting really. More or less I am uncharachteristicly angry and jealous. I am angry at the universe that doesn't go my way, I am jealous of everyone walking around acting happy and everyone who mentions their family, oh, and everyone who hangs out with Jay.

So whats happened in the last month? Mostly, I have been very tired and emotional all the time. And I had dental work which has been giving me pain for the last 3 weeks.

Its dead week and I had no idea. This morning was FAR too eventful and involved getting very upset about nothing much, cleaning up a broken bottle, eating pizza and sampling new toothpaste that the dentist gave me in tiny squeezy packets (Orange flavor!)

I am back in Ashland. It is very cold. Being inside helps some, but our heat doesn't go. This is ok however because the water heater does. Everyone was happy to see me.
I'm cooking fish! Also organizing things. It is abit strange coming back from the land of intensity,although I am happy to report, things don't seem just the same quite.

So. I have an interesting family. I went and had dinner with large chunks of my mothers family some of whom are in from far away places. They are all mostly either Great uncles or cousins.

I woke up, aangry I had to get up and go out in the cold. then I cried for an hour, then I threw up. We went to see the body and pick up the stuff/people at the hospital. Its so bizarre. She is the wrong color for a person, her mouth is open. Her skin feels just like mine though.

I'm still here. While totally ordinary my life seems like a very strange story with odd charachters and no plot to speak of, just weird connections, and synchronicities. My Dad left this morning so I'm holding down the fort alone. today I came home early, to the empty house, miles from anywhere in particular with not much sense of what to do. Soooo.

I spent almost all day at the hospital with mom. She seems better every time I see her. I know that this is somewhat misleading as the cancer is still there but it is very nice to see her smile. For those of you who are esspecially following her progress I have made another blog for that.

Dear Daniel. MOm is recovering nicely from her
surgery but she was diagnosed as having adenocarcinoma
in her meninges or lining of the brain. It is a very
rare condition so that they cant really tell us what
to expect. She has a feeding tube through her nose

Here is the latest update. So. It is cancer, it is colo-rectal cancer. She had a great big tumor in her bowel however, they operated on Friday and took it out. Its not in her liver like we thought.

The my mother update. They no longer think its lymphoma. They are not sure exactly what it is. However their best guesses at the moment are brain cancer or menengitis. EEp! She is in the hospital at the moment and apparently doing pretty well under the circumstances.

The most important news is, Today I found out that my dear mother likely has lymphoma. This is uncool. However, they havn't found any tumors, and apparently, it generally responds fairly well to treatment, so I'm not excessively scared at this juncture. Still, its a scary prospect.

Oww. my feet hurt a lot. i just got home from work. I was supposed to work 7-10, but one of the other girls was sick, so it turned into 4-10 and then, as we were SUPER busy, 4-11. This is nice because I got paid, but not nice because my FEET hurt.

Its hard for me to think of good ways to start a blog entry. I always feel like I'm writing a letter sortof and you can't dive into a letter without a introduction. Anyway. i went to a Vote rally at school tonight for the express reason that they had free pizza. now I beleive that voting is a fine thing.

I have a cold. It is a preoccupying condition. However, I also should be getting a paycheck of some kind today. And its nice and warm today. I will perhapse take the bus to the park and read a book in the grass. It would be a good change from the sitting around the apartment all day, like I did yesterday. I do not beleive its possible to OD on Emergen C packets, but I had 4 yesterday Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1096444679365447172004-09-29T01:43:00.000-07:002004-09-29T00:57:59.366-07:00I'm all nervous. As soon as I stop thinking about things, I get paranoid. I am afraid I won't have enough money to pay my bills, I'm afraid something will happen to Jay and I will never find out about it. I'm afraid my roomate will get mad at me, I'm afraid my professor wont accapt my capstone proposal, or that I won't do a good job, I'm afraid that the new people I've met don't really like meLaurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1095500494936628792004-09-18T02:35:00.000-07:002004-09-18T02:41:34.936-07:00So, Things are going. Its been a while since I updated but stuff is Generally fine. I got a job, as I probably mentioned at Dairy Queen. Its OK. Not too bad, but they don't give me enough money. I am annoyed, because I will perhapse have to get another one. Thats what I did today.. work, not get a job. I also hung out with Matt some and we talked about house names. My house is named Sweet Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1094296574602925792004-09-04T04:04:00.000-07:002004-09-04T04:16:14.603-07:00So, it is far too late for me to be up, but I've been staying up far too late lately. Anyway, its been forever since I blogged and I had a fairly eventful night so I will discuss it here. So Fuzzy, roomate, and Myself went to pet pet at Ginny's and watched TV and were bored.. I guess I should mention that at 4pm we went to the new coffee place and got all caffeinated.

I was talking about this with some friends a while ago. We were using it as a metaphore as to how the only way humans know things is in relation to themselves.
None of our senses can be used to actually experience anything else. We just respond to inputs supposedly created by "other things". Thinking about this I feel blindLaurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1092205147632299302004-08-10T23:18:00.000-07:002004-08-10T23:19:07.633-07:00I remember not being able to define meme, and I just looked it up. It seems like a useful term/concept.
meme (mm)
n.
A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another.
[Shortening (modeled on gene), of mimeme from Greek mimma, something imitated, from mimeisthai, to imitate. See mimesis.]

And exciting kindof. I'm ok. I got convinced to ride a bicycle into town, because Jay lives way out 2 miles from the nearest gas station or anything. As that sounded preferable to sitting around getting in the way of his family, or watching TV, I rode around the block a few times to get used to a bike, and eventually was confidant enough Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1091252827037797182004-07-30T22:45:00.000-07:002004-07-30T22:47:07.036-07:00Whoosh (that is to say: *sigh*) I am finally at my parents house. I left on Thursday morning at like, &:30 am after 2.5 hours of sleep. And, surprisingly, didn't sleep on the bus at all because I was seated next to such interesting and talkative people. When I got to Eugene, I went to Kati's house as planned, but she wasn't there. Sooo, I went to target and bought some new underware.

I did something! I went over to Colin's to be casual while he and some people practiced DJing. It was somewhat amusing, it made me mad that my foot is busted though, no dancing for Laura in the forseeable future.

Things are going well. It is very hot which make me happy that Me and roomate have few qualms about running around house half(or fully) naked.

Stuff is progressing as I guess I must have assumed it would. There are video games, and there are dishes. At some point I need to consider gettting things started in terms or re-enrolling, working out an actual budget so I don't starve or die or something. I am just so out of it though.

Some is positive, some ridiculously negative, anyway, I guess this is what people will find when, in the future, they want to know what happened.

It was an experience for which there isn’t much comparison. It was also a personal stepping stone between Eugene and Ashland and a positive movement towards realizing my destiny. Maybe? Anyway, It sure was impressive. I believe it makes sense to start at the beginning. That would be the moving out. Ohhh the moving out.

I bought Sailor moon R this afternoon, it was on Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1086458801326779192004-06-05T11:00:00.000-07:002004-06-05T11:06:41.326-07:00Well well, It has just been my birtday. I am now with out a doubt twentyfour years old which is a VAST improvement over 23. I feel like a new girl. Not totally new, but grander, brighter, and better. Anyway, here's what Has happened. On Thursday I went out to Diablo's with Kati, we danced, El Diablo himself got me a birthday drink and pulled my hair in an affectionately carniverous manner.Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1086158833215985692004-06-01T23:19:00.000-07:002004-06-01T23:47:13.216-07:00So, this is the Egil's post, where I discuss the highlights of Egils. I am sure that similar Egils posts are popping up on blogs and e-mail lists the kingdom over. So. I got there very late on Friday andset up right by gat in a very easy to find corned of overflow camping. This is because with the lateness and the darkness, we (Kati and myself) couldn't find anyone we knew.

A day like most of them today. Not too much going on. I guess I can say however that yesterday was eventful. I got 3 unusual phone calls, spent lots of money, left town breifly and was upset twice. I'm sorry I have to be so cryptic about this, but it seems unwise to disclose things. All kinds of things are secrets. Some secrets are not very secrative, like the fact that my brother has aLaurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1084765251067507872004-05-16T20:31:00.000-07:002004-05-16T20:40:51.066-07:00Well, I'm back from Stinkywar. It was lots of fun. many people that I like were there and the weather was more or less ideal. I got to sing, I got to drink mead, I got lots of people acting more or less pleased to see me and stuff like that. um. And afterwards I got to see Gwen and Piper, (separately) We (Kati and myself) came over and monopolized Piper for 5 hours. We watched "The Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1084567179686588332004-05-14T13:25:00.000-07:002004-05-14T13:39:39.686-07:00Well well. This is my day off. I had to go to a meeting this morning which is bad (and it was an unpleasant meeting BTW where nothing got done) But it was also good because I was forced to get up early. After the meeting I went downtown with the intention of getting some food, and as I hate eating by myself and being bored, I went to the bookstore to pick up a magazine of some kind. Well, allLaurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1084427171210165182004-05-12T22:38:00.000-07:002004-05-12T22:46:11.210-07:00Here is an update on the injury. So, I went to Urgent care on friday and talked to the doctor. I am definately sprained. I got a splint thing and went to Goodwill and got crutches and stayed at home all weekend(and Monday) not standing or walking and certainly not leaving my house. Then I went to work Yesterday and today and I can walk around without the crutches or anything but my ankle is Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1083923685546892802004-05-07T02:54:00.000-07:002004-05-07T02:59:05.623-07:00So, I went out dancing this evening (night now, whatnot) and there was this dorky looking guy in a plaid shirt kindof pretending to dance and watching all the scantily clad girls wriggling around in a castanrazi type way. And, I being all dancy as I am wont to be, stepped backwards and onto his foot. with this there was a great popping abd I feel on the floor. Luckily Kati was there as was herLaurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1083647850435854922004-05-03T22:17:00.000-07:002004-05-07T02:59:34.716-07:00saturday:
I went to a May Day party with a giant bonfire tonight, other people were roasting hot dogs but I did not have any. Instead I had fruit and bread and trifle. It was really fun and there were lots of really impressively dirty songs and limerics, and then more pleasant songs. Several people jumped over the bonfire and I jumped over a little corner of it. Earlier there was a demo Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1083647632686010862004-05-03T22:13:00.000-07:002004-05-07T02:59:54.373-07:00Friday:
I am actually doing much better now that it is the weekend. I went raiding flowers to distribute on may day tomorrow. We drove around corvallis very furtively and got them and then took them back to my friend Gwen's house and made them all into bouquets. Tomorrow early we will drop them off on friend's doorsteps. I got to go to the beach too and we saw live sand-dolars and dead driedLaurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1083301795086247962004-04-29T22:09:00.000-07:002004-04-29T22:14:06.293-07:00So, a few notable things. 1, the cute drug delivery guy had a teenage mutant ninja turtle T shirt yesterday. He dropped off eardrops. I had to sign for them. (it was romantic)Then... later that same day another guy on the bus was also wearing a TMNT T-shirt. I'm thinking a sale at hot topic or something. On a not especially related note, It seems all my co-workers, especially the nice older Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1083043394385871712004-04-26T22:23:00.000-07:002004-04-26T22:27:21.450-07:00So, this is monday, but I am going to talk about the weekend (really fast...) I went to Seargents trials. It was fun, it was nice and warm and I lay around in the sun. I knew practically nobody, but noone was mean to me, infact, several people were nice to me and Durin said I have to get Drunk with him at Egils. Ceridwen kept handing me drinks and then walked me home and was very friendly.

One is the notable things that I did today.
from last to first:
I rescured an energetic earthworm (it sqiggled alot when I poked it and it was very fast for an overland earthworm) It was crossing the sidewalk (at a non 45 degree angle) towards a busy street and I flung it into somebody's backyard.
I took Troy to the library which is about 2 miles from myLaurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1082533154413113772004-04-21T00:39:00.000-07:002004-04-21T00:43:13.590-07:00Well, this was a reasonable weekend and certain parts of it coincided with Maryann which you can see on her blog, if you have the secret knowledge. Basically, I went to Ashland on Saturday where Hocktide was sucking. There I was bored for a little and then went into town where Maryanne and Valerie and Colin were busy hoping I would show up and thereby not sucking (in a notable way) We had muchLaurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1082112243862595002004-04-16T03:44:00.000-07:002004-04-16T03:47:56.530-07:00Part 3
So finally on Wednesday, yesteday in the morning, after having made it evntually back to my house, they packed up their bags and headed back off into the horizon and the mysterious realms from whence they came.
I worked and worked and slept and strung some cardweaving. Then just tonight I came back from work and went to Katis and we went out dancing at john Henrys. Much fun. And we Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1082111906115816752004-04-16T03:38:00.000-07:002004-04-16T03:42:18.840-07:00Part 2
The next Morning after the party I insisted that we all go hiking as I want to get out in the woods more often and everyone else more or less went along with this plan dispite hungoverness. When we finally got it together to depart it was about 2:00 we went to Blue Pool or Tamolich Falls, which is about 65 miles up the McKenzie Highway. It is really cool and very blue.

I apologise. More or less the main distraction has been The Vow of Silence guy, Dovan. He and his friend came to visit me and stayed for a week! It was interesting how it started. I got a call from him on Monday that he was in town, but I missed it because I was at a Xiu Xiu concert (which was interesting by itself) So, the next day i dropped a Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1080961357381052602004-04-02T19:02:00.000-08:002004-04-02T19:06:12.840-08:00Right, I am now in Eugene again. I have been for a bit. I am now working Mondays through Thursdays, so I get 3 days off instead of 5 but they are event-enabled days and I only am working 9 hours a day instead of 16. All in all I am pleased. I am also pleased that the substitute manager, Scott GOT ME MY MONEY! Yay. I was beginging to give up hope.

I walked around Greenlke in the rainyness. I am going to have a drink and watch the Utena movie . It was also nice to see my parents, ther house, my cat and whatnot.

Man! And my brother's is quite alarming. Actually they are mostly fairly alarming, danger and drunkeness prevails I guess. I didn't do anything super exciting and dangerous, but there were a few interesting things to be mentioned. One is, I tipped my hair, that is to say I dyed the tips, hot pink actually. I figured out how my Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1079147328650907152004-03-12T19:08:00.000-08:002004-03-15T18:42:12.936-08:00So, I went out with Kati again last night and I had a lot of fun. I danced a lot. I got to talk with a few of her people. On the Downside, today my neck and shoulders are very sore. Yes very sore indeed. I also bought some girl scout cookies. I enjoyed being a girl scout. Now I guess I am a lady scout. I should be scouting around more.

But, she wasn't staying: she was going to a concert. S,o I went too. It was Wayne Hancock. It was fun, although I have a big annoying cold and my ears are all plugged up. It was at an outwardly intimidating bar in Eugene John Henry's. Anyway, that was fun and we met a friend of hers there Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09313459360463257641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017700.post-1078354811846759232004-03-03T15:00:00.000-08:002004-03-03T15:03:07.513-08:00Well.
I am doing pretty well, dispite a cold. I have been thinking a lot lately and doing a lot too. Some of the things I have done are: Finally gone to the Knitting Group at Sam Bonds, where I met a lady who knows Matt and Travis! I miss Matt and Travis so if they see this they should call me.

I was tired of the old ones. Stuff is going ok here I have a huge uncomfortableness in my lover back on the right and I think it is from sitting all crooked for hours in Ragnar's truck on the way home from Arizona, I'm not sure what to do about it.
