Hey Everyone [Feb. 25th, 2005|01:58 pm]gallerystaff
[Current Mood** |bouncybouncy] [Current Music** "Super Hero" Stephen Lynch]So if anyone is remotely interested in how I'm doing here is goes: I am doing pretty good I don't have to wake up until I feel like it. Then I hop online and work on the computer at any time during the day. Except for Nexus when I only have to go to Math and Spanish on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There really isn't much homework, so I spend alot of my days playing Sims2, watching movies, and hanging out with my brother, college kids, or with the hott guy from block buster or the gym. Oh yeah and my relationships with everyone, are hmmmm.... interesting. I ended up dating a Marine who is 23, sadly he ended up being shipped off to Iraq. However, we still are corresponding and plan on getting together again on April 19th,2006 which is when he returns. :'( He is really sweet, but he ripped one of my favorite thongs off (jerk). Which he is now holding on to. Matthew and I have been having some rough times, although we're working on it, we've been seeing other people. I've been talking with old friends, both ex's. One lives in Texas, but he's moving to Arizona soon for college. We made a promise to eachother that when we turn 27 if we're not talking/ dating/ married to anyone, we'll find each other. I miss him alot, the only reason we broke up was because I moved. I've also been corresponding with my friend from WV. We also used to date, but now were just close friends. I think he might be engaged, though. He is 20. He works in a lab center where they test water. I'm planning on maybe heading up there around the time everyone has spring break, I might go up a week early though. I'd like to meet my future step brother as well, b/c before my father is deployed for Iraq, he is getting married to Mauela. Who has a 19 year old son. I'd have two new grandparents as well. The funny thing is, that my new grandfather is a pastor, and my step mother is the organ player. lol So I would be attending a very religious church, with the religious family. lol I'm looking foward though to seeing Burdett and his family again. Burdett is a goof ball. Click to view full size image I've also been thinking about Scott, a little bit, even though I know I shouldn't. He pissed me off last time I saw him, so I'm thinking I better not. I mean we messed around, and dated a bit, but he is the assiest person I have ever considered dating. geez. Click to view full size image Andrew Bertino, one of my other boyfriends I've also been talking to a bit. We've hung out a couple time this past month. He is fun, but I would never date him again. He's moving back to Florida near the summer to transfer colleges. Click to view full size image Anyways besides socializing with quite a few of my exs. I have been busy working, and babysitting for afew families. I never realized how many parent's need baby sitters in the middle of the day. My mom might be getting a job in GREENSBORO!!! Which I'm excited about b/c I prefer Greensboro over Durham. The schools are also impressive over there. As far as schooling goes, I doubt I will be returning to DSA. Next year isn't looking great either. I've been working my ass off on school work, and I currently have straight A's. I've been receiving college information out the wazoo, and I'm looking at UNC-G, Elon, and Berea. All but Berea are in NC. Berea is in Kentucky. The thing is, is that it would be free for me, even the tuition is free. Which would totally rock, because finances are a huge deal. I plan on touring there in March. I plan on majoring in Psychology(which Matt insists I'd ace, but I'm not that cocky), and my minor probably will be in photography. I miss doing my photography. I still look at the awards I've recieved for it when I get down. The past few days my mother has been sick, so instead of attending school as normal I have been taking care of her. My mom has Multiple Sclerosis for those of you that don't know. About a week ago she was throwing up blood/her insides. The doctor believe's she has an ulcer. They have to run tests and look into both ends to be sure however. She will be sedated during this. I plan on going with her to this appointment. I'm really worried about her. She hasn't been eating much either for fear of throwing it up. This is depressing me... Click to view full size image I'd love to hear about how things have been going for everyone else! The last paper looked pretty good, I don't think I would have gone with the front cover however. The photos need improvement. Sorry for the criticism. Alot of the articles were of great substance. Well give me a yell! Love, Nikki p.s. I'd didn't put this behind an LJcut b/c I didn't want to!! MWAH HAHAHA!

[Current Music |Time is Running Out - Muse]I pride in the fact that I'm the first to update in a reeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally long time.Kudos on the paper this time though.Everyone better get their asses in line for the next one though!~DabbyPS-Oh yeah, do you guys want to invest some of your time to the troops? Making stuff for thanksgiving (more so Christmas.) The stuff is due December 3. I'm going to be making some stuff and writing a story currently in progress, go me. Ok well not really.But you get the idea. Let me know if you're interested. I think it'd be nice to send stuff to guys who are fighting a war for no reason to at least let them know someone cares about their well-being.

Hey, tried to tell you after class today, but you disappeared. My first story is going to be about John Kerry. He could very well be our new president, and people should know what he stands for, what he has done, and what he plans to do for us, before they take sides. Yeah...

Hello All! [Aug. 14th, 2004|11:22 am]gallerystaff
[Current Mood** |depresseddepressed] [Current Music** I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother]Dear Staff,I hope everyone enjoyed class yesterday. However, I hope everyone is doing their job, inside and outside of class. The reason I say this, is that it is important that everyone turns in the work that is to be done outside of class ontime otherwise things will get behind. I had personal experience with this last year, but yes I know NEWSPAPER is an elective. Trust me, it's the only one I have that's not academic. Anyway thankyou for reading.Love,NikkiP.S. Please no editting this entry, I would find it rude and degrading thankyou!

NEW YEAR NEW HOPES 04-05 [Aug. 10th, 2004|06:08 pm]gallerystaff
[Current Mood** |accomplishedaccomplished] [Current Music** Men w/o Hats]I hope everyone is looking foward to this school year in Newspaper. I know it's a elective, but I really do need all your effort especially with the photography lab not doing layout any more. I hope everyone forms a strong bond with someone in "The Gallery" staff because those bonds are important. Last year the staff was amazing, and I know this years will blow me away. I do care about everyone of you already and I hardly know any of you, but just the fact that you would give up an elective for newspaper amazes me. Anyways I'm beat and I have some homework I have to do, but I hope everyone TAKES ME SERIOUSLY FOR ONCE!! Love, Your Editor,Nikkip.s. I don't edit or spell check this, because that's my job on your work right now this is my lazy-time, SO STOP EDITTING THIS GWEN!!!!
