My dad and my stepmom are outside, slaving away at shoveling the driveway, so I went out to help them and went right to it...and proceeded to almost faint. My vision got all spotty, my hearing got all muffled, and I got nauseous and felt like my legs were going to cave in. My dad made me lie down in the snow and my stepmom lift up my legs, I guess so that blood would flow back to the top portion of my body or something. It was really awkward, but it helped.
I guess I'm just so used to being at sea level now, which is where I go to the gym every day and have a pretty rigourous workout, and obviously I can't do the same here. Depressing!Current Mood:  faint |

I am bored with my user name. So I changed it. You can find my new one here, yay!
And just so you know, my new user name is die_fledermaus
So, update your friends lists accordingly and I will make sure to add YOU. Yes, that means YOU.Current Mood:  whatever |

So, just so everyone knows, I'm going to delete some people from my friends list, just because we *never* comment on each other's journals, and I'm not trying to like erase you from the plane of existence, I just figure we didn't click, and that's ok. =D Thanks for understanding!
If you really, desperately want to be on my friends list and I took you off, you can comment and I'll totally add you again. ^_^Current Mood:  bored |

What does "zum Lachen in den Keller gehen" mean? I mean, I know what it literally means, but as a phrase?Current Mood:  confused |

I am eating delicious spinach-flavored rice noodles. Guess where they're from? That's right. Canada. Our friends up North really know their stuff. I TOLD YOU SO!
(Oh. Sorry. I meant "flavoured." =D )Current Mood:  hungry |

So, I'm supposed to be writing a paper by tomorrow, but am procrastinating, and stumbled upon this: ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) scientologists
CREEPY. Man I hate those people. I don't understand how someone can get lured into something so disgusting and twisted. It's all about money. It's just gross.
A great website:
Operation Clambake
And of course I have "Summer Lovin'" from "Grease" stuck in my head...Stupid John Travolta. *Shudder*

Ok, I have a major bone to pick. I'm watching VH1's "I love 1986" 'cuz I'm bored and have nothing better to do with my time, and someone mentioned the word pot and they bleeped it out...When just moments before, someone said something about how Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach" could be about a girl having a baby that is her father's and why didn't we ever think about that, and later they talked about the "Horny Hucstibles" (ok, I cannot spell their last name...They're talking about the mom and dad on the Cosby Show or whatever, and how they have sex all the time). Oh and before the Madonna thing, someone said that Alf's nose looked "ribbed for pleasure."
So, you're allowed to say horny...You're allowed to say "ribbed for pleasure," and you're allowed to say something about how Madonna's song could have been about a girl who is going to give birth to her father's son (sarcastically, I hope)...BUT YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY POT???
What is this country coming to???

I actually have a few extra minutes to sit around and do nothing. My supervisor let me leave work early, which was cool. Though I have to make up the time next week so I don't lose money. Ugh. Extra hours in that place does not appeal to me.
Anyway, the event planning is going well. I've been hanging up flyers everywhere, and Boulder Weekly said they would announce the events and may want to do an editorial. But they said they already have the editorials for the next two weeks lined up and may not be able to do it until after the events. But we'll see. It'd be so great to get the Boulder Weekly to bring awareness to the case and the events. The editor who E-mailed me back said he's been a supporter for a long time and has done some editorials on the WM3 in the past. Exciting!
I also sent a public service announcement to KGNU, and apparently a week before events happen, they announce them on the radio. So that'd be great, too.
In other news...I have decided I need to start my own business. I have a lot of skills, especially office/administrative, so I was wondering if there would be some way to have a business where people hire me to do stuff for them...I don't know how that would work, but it'd be cool.
I'm going to go hang out with Jeremie now. He's not feeling well. =(
Oh and my blessings and prayers are with everyone in London today. What a useless, pointless attack.

From a fellow WM3 Awareness Day event organizer:
Wowie...there are some exciting WM3 things going on here and around the
country- so if you havent been active for awhile NOW is the time to jump in!!!
Hellooooooooo!
First, July 23 is the WM3 WORLD AWARENESS DAY with events planned all over
the globe. The list of preformers grows every day and the activities here and
abroad could not get much more exciting. For complete behind the scenes glance
visit:
http://p210.ezboard.com/fwestmemphisthreediscussionfrm44
But Boy Howdy do we have some amazing events here!
First, longtime CO WM3 supporter April has invited us to set up a WM3 booth
at the first ever RockyMountain Roller Girl bout July 16th...
The Rocky Mountain Rollergirls present
Brass vs Sass
at the Bladium Sports Club, 8797 Montview in Denver.
This is the inaugural roller derby bout for the Rollergirls, hosted by the
ever hilarious and handsome Sid Pink, with Gina Go Faster to rock your skates
off.
$10adv/ $12 door - this event is all ages.
www.rmrollergirls.com
Then Vivi (and her dedicated group of super star helpers) have set an all
ages WM3 Poetry Reading and open mic at the Mercury Cafe in the afternoon from 3-
6 pm. This event will be filmed and submitted to the Paradise Lost Three
filmmakers for possible submission into PL3 (now in production). Please attend
this event- lets pack the house and show the world how much our lil ol cow state
rocks!!! Please wear your WM3 shirts- bring a poem, come listen to a poem
(including some of Damien's own unpublished works), read from his new
auto-biography (which is brilliant by the way), play an acoustic song (contact me ASAP for
details) or just hang out and support the supporters. You will need to sign a
film/image release--so if youre wanted for MP3 piracy in Utah, this would not
be the event to attend (Arrg Mate). However--if you wanna possible shot at
having your mug splashed across the silver screen- then come on down! I really,
really hope we can pack this room in all of our West Memhis Three glory.
And if that *aint* enough---Benders Tavern presents their One Year
Anniversary Party to benefit the West Mermphis Three starring Slim Cessna. Tickets are
$10 in adv and 12 at the door (I think- but dont quote me on that) and this
event is 21 and over. Slim always sells out his shows and this one will be no
exception. Buy your tickets early and mention the WM3 (so they know why were all
there). Look for the booth, stay and chat awhile- then go boogie your socks
off to one of the hottest bands in Denver.
www.benderstavern.com
THIS is the time to show ourselves--this event is a world event- cities
around the globe will be rockin all at the same time- lets make sure we pack these
houses. The poetry event could be especially cool as we could fill that room
with supporters, meet, hug and send Damien a little note or two - other
surprises sure to follow as well. Please come out and help remind the world that
...We're still here and for as long as they are still there.

From your vantage point in front of the computer, you spy, with your little eye...
1. Something that is red:
Scully's lipstick on my mousepad (it's of Scully and Mulder)
2. Something that is shiny:
My boyfriend's silver-colored headphones
3: Something that is ugly:
The really cheesy, tacky cover thingie over the light in this room. It's like...copper-colored and there are 3 parts, 3 half-circles, a smaller at the bottom, getting bigger towards the top, and they cover the lightbulb and aren't connected. Really ugly.
4. Something that is made of wood:
Jeremie's TV stand
5. Something that is sharp:
The switchblade knife next to the keyboard

...But this is SO funny.
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced
enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
(Hardly seems worth it.)
If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
(Now that's more like it!)
The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to
squirt blood 30 feet.
(O.M.G.!)
A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.
(In my next life, I want to be a pig.)
A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to
death.
(Creepy)
(I'm still not over the pig.)
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour
(Don't try this at home, maybe at work)
The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.
("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!")
The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping
the length of a football field.
(30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?)
The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.
(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)
Some lions mate over 50 times a day.
(I still want to be a pig in my next life..quality over quantity)
Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Something I always wanted to know.)
The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
(Hmmmmmm......)
Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed
people.
(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)
Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.
(Okay, so that would be a good thing)
A cat's urine glows under a black light.
(I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that.)
Starfish have no brains.
(I know some people like that too.)
Polar bears are left-handed.
(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer)
Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
(What about that pig??)
Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread these
crazy facts and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle). In other words, send it to everyone.

|---|
Dude, I SO was on the radio today!!!
(Colorado folk:) You know how Uncle Nasty does that Do You a Favor Tuesday thing, and people call in and on the air tell people about when their bands are playing, or ask for donations for *whatever,* and stuff? Well, I thought I would call and just see if I could get on the air and get the word out that I need a new job.
Well, they answered on the first ring, and I knew that was a sign. So they put me on hold FOREVER, and I stayed on the line (all the while late to guitar class, but this was important!) and suddenly Uncle Nasty came on the phone and was like, "Vanessa? You're on next."
So he and I chatted for a few minutes about what I want to do, and it was SO COOL. Then I had to go into my guitar class, so I didn't get to hear myself on the air, but during my class I got like 5 messages from people telling me they were hiring or whatever.
Oh, and before I even got to my class, after I had talked to Uncle Nasty, he *called me back* and said that Clear Channel was hiring receptionists, and gave me the number of someone to call. Being referred by Uncle Nasty is definitely a plus, I should think!
HOW COOL IS THAT?

I would just like to say that I love the Aquafina commercials where they're singing the drinking songs and dancing around and spilling water all over the place like they're drunk...It reminds me of Oktoberfest in Germany, only with water. And besides, it's hilarious.
That is all.

I went to a woman today, a "field clearer," I guess. I don't really know what else to call her. She clears your energy field of unwanted energy, spirits, whatever, and calls in your divine guides to get rid of all the STUFF you're hanging on to...I felt so heavy, tired, and depressed when I got there, and left feeling light, cheerful, and energetic. It was really great. But she told me that my fear of death is partly due to a traumatic death in a past life. She did some checking and said that two past lives ago, I was south of Paris, and was murdered when I was 22 in 1931 by someone I knew, I was hit over the head, and they never found the killer.
So now I have to go and research murders south of Paris around 1931...Because I want to know who I was.
I don't think she was full of shit. I can't explain the feeling I got when she described the past death to me, but I basically felt like I was going to start bawling. There was this strong tug inside of me, this swell of confusion, hurt, and fear, and sadness. It was very strange. The way she made me feel during the whole session was amazing, and I don't think there's anything ingenuine about her (erm...is that a word? Ingenuine? Whatever. The opposite of genuine).
I wonder where I can find out about Paris murders...

I'm at Snow Mountain Ranch with AVS, and I'm having kind of a hard time. I'm having a good time, but I have a hard time blending back into the community when I've been gone so long. Especially since people don't really keep in contact with me outside of AVS. I don't have any friends from AVS that I hang out with anymore. And the group of AVS people that do still hang out together...well, it's kind of hard to penetrate into their group. I think I should just move somewhere and leave all this stuff behind, because there's really no reason for me to stay here.

I had a strange experience today.
I was driving to work and suddenly in front of me all the cars were stopping, so I slowed down and saw that a cop on the shoulder had pulled over a semi type truck, and everyone was freaking out, of course. Then as the cop was walking back to his motorcycle, the traffic started going again, and the cop was walking with his hand up as if to say that we should stop. So I was confused, and I sort of slowed down, and he pointed at me, and then at the shoulder, as if I should pull over. So I did, totally confused, because as far as I know, I wasn't doing anything wrong, and I was watching him in my rearview mirror, and he waved me on. So I merged back into traffic and kept going.
It was really, really weird.
Other than that...I'm doing a bit better today, but still can't get my mind off this stupid death thing. I met with the minister at the Unity church today and he had some good tips for meditating...He says I should do it every day. And he says that I should just change my thoughts to positive thoughts, and that I have "the power," to do it...And he said, "May the Force be with you? No, it's with you now."
I kinda liked that.
Anyway, I'm tired, and need to go to bed. Good night.

Jeremie just told me that for the next 12 weeks, he's not going to be able to see me Monday-Friday.
And I have been feeling sick to my stomach for the past 2 days...And I've been dizzy, like I can't keep my head up, and just nauseous in general.
Life's a bitch.
