> Online Nickname...Gimpy Nihon :) .. ooo i'll tell you the story. so if i've told you how i got nihon the gimpy fish as my screenname you can ignore this part :)
not such a long time ago in a land not so far away, me and a friend were in the library using the computers. i was bored so i made a little oragmi fish. my friend was playing a game and needed paper to write a password down on so i gave him the fish and he wrote "nihon" (which was the password) on it. ("nihon" by the way means "japan" in japanese apparently). so the fish then became Nihon the Fish and he was my favorite pet fish ever until another friend crumpled him up and threw him at me. i uncrumpled him and from then on he was Nihon the Gimpy Fish.

Collegeshortie1: vicki asked me to move to new orleans cause shes about to move there cause the whole adoption thing is "stressing nick out" which stresses vicki and the baby so shes moving to new orleans and wants me to go with her for support
Collegeshortie1: i told her no
Be Sane Soon 81: What a hoot.
Be Sane Soon 81: I hope she doesn't freak herself out and cause complications with her pregnancy. She strikes me as the type that might do such a thing.
Collegeshortie1: i think she prolyl already has
Collegeshortie1: casue she eony suck ti it and go home and grow up and take care of her baby liek she needs to do
Be Sane Soon 81: Oh? How so?
Collegeshortie1: cause she needs to suck it up and go home and grow up and take care of her baby like she needs to ** i decided to just fix the whole sentence lol
Collegeshortie1: cause shes moving around and unstable and shes only go 1 1/2 months left
Collegeshortie1: but i told her yesterday that she didnt need to be the one that leaves and moves when shes this far along and go to a place where she has no one jsut because nick is uncomfortable about the situation.... fuck him... he needs to grow the fuck up too. but she didnt really respond to that.. she just said that the way nick acts when hes stressed is nto healthy and a couple of times he has told her that he wishes she would just leave and yeadda yadda bullshit
Collegeshortie1: shes pissing me off
Collegeshortie1: and then after this shit to ask me to move with her... yeah the fuck right.. i'm gonna leave all my centers of sanity to go into a completely unstable world to take care of an unstable crazy lady who treats people like how they feel doesnt matter... fuck her too
Collegeshortie1: fuck her and nick
Collegeshortie1: they need to grow up, tell people the baby is nicks insteaf of hiding that shit just cause he doesnt want to be embarrassed...
Collegeshortie1: ok i'm done

7:54pm: vicki decoded

letter from vicki.... the bold is my translation and notes.

 

Hey chick : ) i am sending you an email to le tyou know how things are going which means i need something

 

I know I said that I was going back to Montgomery, but my adoption specialist returned to work today so I was able to speak with her about the matter. First of all, to get my living expenses we would have to go to court first -- at 33 weeks who has the time. Secondly, I don't think I could live with my parents without experiencing entirely too much stress. i'm grown, i dont wanna live at home, and i cant swallow my pride and go back there However, all of this does not mean I'm staying in Shreveport -- simply because the whole adoption thing is stressing Nick out and i must do everything to keep my man hapyp . Stress for Nick equals stress for me and the baby -- it's amazing what a few years difference can make on ones ability to handle extremely stressful situations nick gets mad when he is stressed, i run away... running away is such a healtier way to deal with stress.. Back to where I'm gonna be staying -- how would you like to be nurse to a pregnant woman in New Orleans, LA for a few months since you are my only real friend even though throughout our entire friendship i have treated you liek shit. I'll have assistance for 6 weeks after delivery so you'd have time to save up money without worrying about where you'll be staying -- not to mention I'll need someone close for the pregnancy, delivery, all that good stuff since i have burned bridges with anyone else that might have helped me. So, what do you say -- free room and board in New Orleans with good company and even better atmosphere (ha ha ha ha denile is a wonderful thing). I'll have my living expenses account very soon (sometime in the next year, of course with the way the agency is acting, we may have to live in a car for a couple of weeks) . Another good thing about New Orleans -- the adoption agency has an office there with three social workers so I'll be getting more one on one than I would be here or in AL. Moving is a very calculated decision jsut as calculaed as every other stupid move i've made -- moving to Montgomery was not even close to thought out because moving to where my friends and family and only support system are would be too much like right. I really hope you'll consider the offer -- I need you, girl. Hope to hear from you soon. Take care of yourself. Love you, Vicki

6:02pm: Carl Sagan
i don't necessarilyagree with all of this but it made me think...

"But for us, it's different. Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there - on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
"The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors, so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
"Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves."

12:14am: arg
so why are my friends dumb? why do i pick stupid ones. with the exception of a few that are my true dawgs, my friends get on my nerves more than not. for instance, yesterday a friend who was visiting from Louisianna (we'll just call her Ictorvia) was supposed to call me. plans were that she would stay at another friends house (we'll call him Bo-Bo) until wednesday or thursday adn then she would call me and see about staying with me. problem number one bo-bo does not have a phone so no one could call Ictorvia while she was at his house. problem number B, Ictorvia left on monday to go back to shreveport cause "things jsut werent working out at bo-bo's house". now, did she tell anyone she left? no. had anyone heard from her since sunday? no. no one knew where she was or why she hadnt called. the only reason i found out was that i called her husband to see if he had heard from her.. and who answers the phone? thats right..Ictorvia. i was so mad. i jsut wanted to yell at her, and she was all nochalant like it was just ok that people here were worried to death about her cause no one coudl find her and she hadnt called. i mean hell... she had 3 fucking days to call...ARG. hell een if she didnt have long distance thats more than enough time to write a letter and send it.. i mean damn really. why are people so inconsiderate? ARG.
anyway thats my rant for tonight. i'm gonan go to bed now adn such.

1:31am: whoa
so i thought i had typed in this thing more than i have... i think ian may even have me beat with how often he updates.
i mean i guess i really dont have much to say though....i'm done with school... bumming around Auburn and montgomery... having a break is very very nice.
of course then theres the whole I Dont Have A Job Yet issue, but it'll happen sooner or later
maybe i'll just move back to J-Ville and live near the beach.. that would be fun... mmm... beach.

theres not really anything else for me to type so i'm gonna go waste more time online.

12:29am: all about me

Which book of the Bible are you?

You are 56% Geek
You are a geek. Good for you! Considering the endless complexity of the universe, as well as whatever discipline you happen to be most interested in, you'll never be bored as long as you have a good book store, a net connection, and thousands of dollars worth of expensive equipment. Assuming you're a technical geek, you'll be able to afford it, too. If you're not a technical geek, you're geek enough to mate with a technical geek and thereby get the needed dough. Dating tip: Don't date a geek of the same persuasion as you. You'll constantly try to out-geek the other

You represent... apathy.
You don't really show any emotion. You can be
considered cruel and cold, but you just don't
really care about anything. This is just the
way you are... you're quite a challenge to get
close to, and others may perceive you as
boring.

How could you just leave me standing,
Alone in a world so cold?
Maybe you're just too demanding.
Maybe I'm just like my father--too bold.
Maybe you're just like my mother.
She's never satisfied.
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like,
When doves cry.
