| so far so good on the not smoking thing, I think I'm gonna pull this off. I haven't really experienced any withdraws, but I do get that little tick to smoke every once and awhile. Normally I only get an urge to smoke if I see someone else smoking. I will say that Pez is an excellent replacement for cigarettes ( read further for Pez info)
I am finally getting a hold of this last semester of college thing. I've been looking for jobs and its scary. I found a website that would allow me to write from the comfort of my own home AND they are taking applications, so I'm gonna see what I can make happen with that.
Otherwise, my main plan after college is gonna be to head back to Winston and start on at the Journal. I think I can get my footing there, and then decide what I want to do for the rest of my life.
Eric and Chris, my roommates, took about 50+ pez dispensers that were gonna get thrown out from Waldenbooks. We currently have them piled in our living room floor. We also established some rules for the pez eating. Due to the amount of dispensers, you may only eat candy out of it once, after that, you have to get a new one. Hopefully we'll have enough dispensers to play Risk with when we're done
Oli is showing no signs of trauma from her injury. She has had the stitches out for a few weeks now and is acting fine. I think she is starting to grow up a little but tho, while she still has her excited moments, she is a lot more chill now. She'll just come into my room and hang out with me while I'm doing stuff. Its alot more fun then having a dog whine at you to go outside all the time.
Aight, thats all the news I can think of right now. Take it easy readers.
peace out

| So I've decided to quit smoking. I'm gonna use the substitution technique this time and see if it works. It goes like this " Dang, I really want a cigarette, but maybe I should just have a(n) _______________ instead."
Hopefully I'll be able to pull this off, wish me luck everyone.

| Warning: Kinda graphic information on doggy injuries.
We decided to take her to the emergency clinic tonight. She was putting some weight on her leg today, but the road rash hadn't cleared up at all. You could still see down to the muscle, and while the bleeding had stopped, it still looked too bad to not have something done about it.
We went back to pick her up around 11. They knocked her out and stitched her up, and cleaned up the road rash. Those also had to put a lampshade collar on her, so now she has a party hat. She was kinda drunk from the meds when we got her back home, so she feel asleep standing up about three times on her way across the living room.
All in all, they said she is gonna be fine, gave us some heavy duty pain killers and antibiotics, and just told us to keep her calm until she starts to heal up.No other serious or internal injuries could be found by the vet, so we're stoked about that. She's due back in two weeks to get her stitches removed. Until then, we're just gonna let her sloth around and get better.
Peace Out,
Alex

| Parental Warning: Slight descriptions of our dog's injuries after her accident today.
Today, our dog Oli got hit by a car. At least we're pretty sure thats what happened. She came back to the house after he usual romp through the neighborhood, everything seemed fine until I noticed a small gash on the top of her head.
Upon further investigation, I notice several other small cuts on her back and legs. I then noticed that she was bleeding quit a bit from her back right leg. Under her leg were 2 half dollar sized gashes, both showing all the way through to her muscle.
After a few hours of clean up, therapy, gauze, a few tubes of neosporin, and a few children's aspirin, shes layed up on her doggy bed with her back right leg completely covered in bandages. We don't think she's gonna be able to walk properly for a few days.
It could have been a lot worse, and I'm grateful for that. Please keep Oli, the greatest dog in the world, in your thoughts.
Updates will follow.

| Being inquisitive seems to always muck things up for me. Should I just stop myself from delving into the unknowns of the life and world around me. Sometimes I just feel like I'm panning for gold with nothing to show for it but an impressive pile of dirt.
I guess I shouldn't be complaining, because I always seem to be able to dish out bizarre yet interesting info, and I feel like inquisitiveness is part of what makes me who I am.
The only downside is that its a gamble. You can find jewels of knowledge everywhere, but you always run the risk of finding that nugget that you don't want.
Sometimes I truly feel that ignorance is bliss, but in the long run, I've never regretted anything that I have learned.
All in all, I have found life this far to be quite a journey, and I honestly can't wait to explore the majority of life that I have left.
I've found that my inner ramblings provide the most entertaining posts, because I just keep typing and don't look back until I'm done. Its most enjoyable.
