08:45 pm - Nerd, Geek, or Dork Quiz Meme thingy
Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test... Pure Geek
For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored better than half in Geek, earning you the title of: Pure Geek. It's not that you're a school junkie, like the nerd, and you don't really stand out in a crowd, like the dork, you just have some interests that aren't quite mainstream. Perhaps it's anime, perhaps it's computers, perhaps it's bottlecaps, perhaps it's all of those and more. Your interests take you to events and gatherings that are filled with people you find unusual and beyond-the-pale, but you don't quite consider yourself "of that crowd." Instead, you consider yourself to be fairly normal. Which, you are. Congratulations! You're the one on the RIGHT!

06:15 am - Because I'm lazy So I've been in Utica about a month now. It's been crazy, busy, fun, and exhausting. And because I'm lazy and don't want to have to repost stuff (I've been planning to for weeks but just haven't gotten to it yet) I'm just going to link y'all to my other bloggy thing so anyone who wants to can see pictures and videos of the animals(the main reason I haven't reposted here...it would take forever to stick them in here) as well as what this whole internship thing is about and what my day consists of. I posted in the other one because putting in photos and video is really easy and because my mom reads it and I wanted to keep her updated.

05:50 pm - Stupidity in the press I just thought this was funny: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080624/ap_on_re_us/wildfires
"The fires have burned a swath of Northern California from Big Sur to wine country to Hambolt County on Monday."
Hambolt? Honestly? Somebody messed up and didn't even do a spell check. Searching "Hambolt County" on Google only came up with this article (posted EVERYWHERE) and " did you mean: Humboldt County?" I guess nobody's caught this yet...
ETA: Awww, looks like they've edited the article. Current Mood: amused

10:59 am - random mlp moment I'm going to sound like such a dork, but I was just looking around at some My Little Pony stuff and came across a picture of Baby Princess Sparkle... I want her. She's so cute! She's in one of my favorite baby poses, has tinsel in her hair and a castle in the clouds on her butt. Want! Current Mood: silly

06:04 am - Custom pony attempt #1 I've managed to find a few G3 MLPs at local thrift stores (plus a few at another second hand shop that sells them for just below retail which just seems stupid to me...if I want to pay $4.50 for a pony I'll fork out the extra buck and get a brand new one. It's much easier to get them for 20-50cents) including one of those McD's Ponyville ponies. I decided to try out my first custom attempt on the little Ponyville one because there's no beheading and rehairing, it's just figuring out a design and painting her. It was fun. :D Of course, my mom and hubby think I'm nuts, but I think she's cute.

08:54 am I GOT THE INTERNSHIP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear god now I need to start planning/packing O_O
Ok, so the internship starts May 27th in at the Utica Zoo in NY. Right now my mom and I are planning on driving cross-country and visiting my brother on the way. I'm kinda rattled at the moment...I'm not sure what I'm doing and the zoo just called me about half an hour ago. (((O_O)))
And now, my mom and I are going out for pastries for breakfast. ^_^ Num. Current Mood: excited

10:12 am - Internship interview O_O I'm just sitting here waiting for my phone to ring.... I have a phone interview with another zoo for a summer internship at 10:30 this morning... about 15 minutes away. I'm really nervous. This will be my second interview with a zoo. The Kentucky Reptile Zoo never got back to me after my interview with them. :( This one is in New York. I hope I get it and at the same time my mind is doing an OMGWTF because it starts at the end of the month. Yeah, that's right, two weeks away. I really need an internship so I'll be able to get a job at a zoo (that pays...interning is usually unpaid. I'm lucky that most at least provide housing.) but it's scary that it would be so soon. I'd given up on getting a summer one and was starting to send in fall/winter applications. If I get this one it'll basically be "Here's me two weeks at work, gotta pack up, and BYE see you in three months!" It's kind of freaking me out. I just need to calm down....no point in counting chickens and all that....
*goes off to distract herself a little longer while hovering near the phone*
ETA: Well the interview is over...seemed to go pretty well. She said I'd hear back from them by Friday. *crosses fingers* Current Mood: nervous

11:35 am - I love where I live. I love the rainy, cool weather. I love the way a radiantly sun-shiny day really stands out and makes people happy. I love the redwoods so close by. I love the ocean just across town. I love the constant sea breeze. I love zoo being five blocks away. I love the forest trail I can take to get there. I love all the local mom & pop shops. I love the wonderful local restaurants. I love the farmer's markets you can find every day of the week during the summer. I love the local theatre productions. I love the art scene. I love all the faires and festivals. I love all the old Victorian and craftsmen houses. I love being surrounded with organic, locally grown food (even if I can't always afford it!). I love all the rhododendrons and magnolias blooming all over town. I love wild blackberries. I love the little apple tree in my backyard (perfect for making apple and wild blackberry pies. Yum!). I love living in the biggest city within a four hour drive and it still has that small town feel. I love the beautiful countryside. I love the goose migrations I see and hear every year as they stop over in the bay. I love the local wildlife (banana slugs make me happy). I love the pride people have for this area. I love the sense of community. I love the sense of history. I love how I feel at home here.

10:58 am - Pony dreams I had a great dream last night. I was walking through a mall (I think) and came across a new store that was pawn shop with puppies (the guy thought, "what is this area missing? There seems to be a lack of pawn shops and puppies" so he combined them). As I was wandering the pawn/secondhand store part I checked out the toy area for My Little Ponies and found some really awesome ones including ones that don't even exist! There were tons of G3s to pick and choose from for customs and a handful of G1s (which I snatched up). Heh, there were even some cute fakies in my dream. One I really liked was a G3 with its head down like it was drinking. I was going to paint a landscape on it....it would have really pretty. There was also one that had interchangeable butt designs (they snapped on or something) and I found a perfect condition flutter pony with her wings. Don't you just hate not being able to take stuff with you when you wake up?
Oh, and I never got to the puppies. :P Current Mood: wistful

12:10 am - Internships Eek! So I finally applied to some animal keeper internships. I'm pretty nervous. All of those questions like "Did I send everything I was supposed to?", "Was everything spelled right?", "Will my references send in their letters as promised?" keep running through my head. I sure hope I at least hear back from one of them. I'd be OK with not getting accepted if at least one thought I was worth a second look. I've never done this before. I have no idea if my resume and cover letter are alright/positive. There are several more internships I'll be applying for later this week...I need to get some extra materials together for them, or at least restructure what I have and I'm too tired and cold at the moment to really make sense of it all. I'm proud of myself for finally getting it done, but I'm really nervous about the outcome. So, er....wish me luck! Current Mood: nervous

10:42 pm - *jumps on the bandwagon* Ok, so I know I'm a terrible blogger...I'd love to be one of those people that writes stuff everyday but usually I forget about what I wanted to blog about by the time I sit down at my computer or I take so long that when I finally DO sit down to write it'd be several pages of what's been going on over the last few months (one of these should be coming up relatively soon seeing as I haven't written anything since before Christmas). I do know that I work better with a little prompting so:
"Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by asking me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other."
Ask me anything...I will answer all. Or even just say "Yo, write about !" (although the answers may be hidden/behind cuts/friends only/etc. if they are really personal/I don't want to be public knowledge). :D Current Location: home Current Mood: blah

08:47 am *Dances around* Who else is getting geared up for the holidays? I'm really getting in the mood this year. I think it's because I don't have finals and classes to worry about for the first time in years. I want to decorate and party :D
How is everybody else feeling about the impending holidays? Looking forward to them? Dreading them? Just don't care? Current Mood: happy
