Icons.... [Monday
December 11th, 2006 at 6:58am]
While many emotions have filled Chile in the past 24 hours following the death of Agusto Pinochet, Roanoke, Virginia, in the United States has had a different death to their local icon.....

Yesterday:
Officials at Mill Mountain Zoo say Ruby the tiger – the hilltop attraction's most famous feline – was euthanized this morning due to failing health and declined quality of life.

Zoo Director Sean Greene said the decision was made Saturday after Ruby's already-shaky health began faltering further in the last week.

In her last days of life, Greene said Ruby's appetite came and went, and she was not able to move around.

“It was really the first sign she was actually feeling something and in possible pain,” Greene said today.

The health of the tiger, believed to be 19 years old, was a concern for some time. She had arthritis in her left shoulder, as well as hearing loss. About two years ago, urine samples began showing Ruby had kidney insufficiency, which caused protein loss, decreased appetite and weight loss.

Since spring of this year, her carnivorous appetite was yo-yoing.

The zoo has scheduled an announcement about Ruby's death for 2:30 p.m. today.

.....So, that was yesterday. I'm not going to lie. Ruby was 19. I'm 20. I remember it was a HUGE deal when we went to see her in elementary school (granted my school bus hit a deer on our way up the mountain which has scarred me for life, but, I remember that everyone made sure we knew how important it would be to see Ruby). I wanted to go to the zoo this past summer, but we never got around to it.....I'm sure she's happier now. But, it's a weird feeling to know that someone so important to the community for so long is now lost.
....weird how these things happen on a local and global scale....




ps. it's 6:57AM. i'm awake. i have an exam. at 7:45AM. what a DUMB rule.

legend [Tuesday
December 5th, 2006 at 10:31am]
what is a legend?

- i'm said to be a legend at virginia tech because my father went here....

- "Heroes get remembered but legends never die..." - the sandlot

- something inscribed.

- a collection of stories about an admirable person.....a person who is the center of such stories...


maybe there are people whose lives are just really a legend. they are inscribed into the lives of others around them. others whose lives they have touched in some way or another. maybe they didnt do anything great, really. except just live life. or maybe all they did was save a smile and a butterscotch candy for you every week. maybe that makes a legend...

today [Tuesday
November 28th, 2006 at 9:58pm]
today was such a long day. incredibly long. but i did it. somehow. and i actually got some stuff done other than classes and meetings...

but the main part was the pre-departure orientation for studying abroad. we sat and listened to all of this information....what to pack, what to take, forms to fill out, people to see, blahblahblah....

but then, after we ate, we split into our groups of the places we are going to. its only me and this one other guy, andrew, who is going to ecuador in the spring. but we got to talk to 2 girls who are from USFQ (the university in quito that i will be studying at) who are studying here at VT for the whole year! it was incredible! im so excited now!

i asked them about the places i should be sure to see and visit while in ecuador and they gave me great places! they said theres lots of american students that come as international students to USFQ all the time. they said they love it here in the US and that the people at VT are really nice. however, they also said that they dont really like the food here. but thats ok. they said im gonna love it over there. the only thing im still nervous about is that people there wont understand my spanish. so i said that, and one of the girls said for me to speak spanish to her. and i couldnt. i was so scared and nervous to speak spanish to her. but i did. and she said id be ok. but i cant believe i was so scared to speak to her - a student who has been in the same position as i am right now (just with her english). if i cant even speak spanish to her, how am i going to be able to speak spanish to native speakers in ecuador who dont even know a 2nd language?

i need to practice. blahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

but it made me so much more excited about it.

and stressed out because they gave me like 5 more lists of stuff to make sure i do before i leave...


but ok. enough. its time for bed. goodnight.

Peace on Earth? [Monday
November 27th, 2006 at 9:58pm]
[ mood | determined ]

....Not in Colorado..


DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- A homeowners' association in southwestern Colorado has threatened to fine a resident $25 a day until she removes a Christmas wreath with a peace sign that some say is an anti-Iraq war protest or a symbol of Satan.

Some residents who have complained have children serving in Iraq, said Bob Kearns, president of the Loma Linda Homeowners Association in Pagosa Springs.

He said some residents believed the wreath was a symbol of Satan. Three or four residents complained, he said.

"Somebody could put up signs that say drop bombs on Iraq. If you let one go up you have to let them all go up," he said in a telephone interview Sunday.

Lisa Jensen said she wasn't thinking of the war when she hung the wreath. She said, "Peace is way bigger than not being at war. This is a spiritual thing."

Jensen, a past association president, calculates the fines will cost her about $1,000, and doubts they will be able to make her pay. But she said she's not going to take it down until after Christmas.

"Now that it has come to this I feel I can't get bullied," she said. "What if they don't like my Santa Claus?"

The association in this 200-home subdivision 270 miles southwest of Denver has sent a letter to her saying that residents were offended by the sign and the board "will not allow signs, flags etc. that can be considered divisive."

The subdivision's rules say no signs, billboards or advertising are permitted without the consent of the architectural control committee.

Kearns ordered the committee to require Jensen to remove the wreath, but members refused after concluding that it was merely a seasonal symbol that didn't say anything.

Kearns fired all five committee members.

Hey all! I am planning to study abroad next semester in Ecuador through VT. Therefore, I'm gonna need to find someone to sublease my apartment. It's in University Terrace and the rent is $300/month flat rate. The other 3 roommates are super great. 2 girls and 1 guy. So, if you or anyone you know needs a place to stay Spring Semester 2007, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know!!! Also, if you have any questions, let me know!

Thanks sooooooo much! :)

the catholic church seems to me to have just as much commotion & drama & news as the political realm of the united states...

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/06/15/catholic.mass.ap/index.html

i'd like to know what exactly brought about this change. from reading this article it makes me think these changes arent THAT significant and the church could hav been fine without them. maybe someone can explain this to me? and i'd like to know what catholics themselves think of their church...RM? others? let me know. kthanks.


in other news - there was an earthquake in NC. i am going there tuesday.
- police men dont have to knock and wait a "reasonable" amount of time before running in on a drug bust.....thats a good thing. i think we MAYBE could have been following this rule before now.
- theres also an article title "Green goo globs up Great Lakes". makes me miss mister fizzoks & his alliteration.


k i think thats all. i love my new job so far. some spanish speaking has taken place & im so glad to be using what ive learned to actually help someone :). this is my last day @ GW - only here until noon.

hmm... [Tuesday

[ mood | confused ]

right now i am working @ daddys work. its super boring. but i get $10.50/hour. i wanted to do something that would be worth my time and help me out in the future, but nothing worked out. so here i am...

so i got a phone call yesterday from a woman at an employment agency here in roanoke. she said she found my resume on jobs.roanoke.com and saw i was spanish speaking and was interested in me so she gave me a call to see about me working in their office.

i called her today and she said it’s a full time position and itll pay $9/hour. I told her I would have to think about it and would give her a call tomorrow and let her know and she said if I was interested I could set up a time to come over and see the place and what I’d be doing and fill out an application.

She said she was looking for a bilingual person to work in the office. It would be not only Spanish stuff but working with lots of individuals that come in and helping them and doing all sorts of office stuff. She said they were looking for someone full time for like a real job but that since I was Spanish speaking that they would like to have me there at least for the summer. To do that job and that I had the experience that they were hoping for.

So I guess I will have to think about it today and give her a call back tomorrow, around the same time I called today, and let her know if I want to come over or not.


sooo...yeah. there is a pay cut. but small. and $9/hour is still good in my eyes. i would LOVE to have more of an opportunity to get to speak spanish and use my skills that i have gained and figure out what i may want to do with it in the future...

but i need to decide if i want to give up the money. and what to do about all this...

and also i bet id be doing more @ that place than i am here. i havent done anything here today since around 9:30am.....


any suggestions? advice?

ps - why do these opportunities come at such bad times?

i LOVE LOVE LOVE the people who i do spend time with in roanoke.

i miss joanna. rosemarie. kristen. brittany. morgan. stacey. ashley. kp. jon. mikey. rob. adam. mike d. JESS!

some people are just genuinely GENUINE and NICE and it is a pleasant surprise and it puts me in a better mood to just be around them :)

some people just know ME and exactly what i need when i need it...even before i can say i need it, or even know i need it.

its good to be nice to old friends, even if you dont ever talk, even if the last time you did talk it was bad, its good to be nice. theres no reason to hold grudges or hate people, really. whats the point?

i like it when things are planned. i like to know what i am gonna do, where, and when. but spontanaity is a fun alternative. and im glad i have people in my life who give it to me.

my job sucks, but im getting paid well. and i guess eventually i will learn to wake up and 6:30am and not be a grumpy jerk.

summer weather makes me happy. i want the beach. i want it now. i want at least a pool to hold me over until i get there. and i want someone to be there with me. ;P
....i dont care WHAT beach. i just want a beach where i can lay out all day in the sand and play in the water and relax and spend time with mattthew and go dancin @ night :) and if JMSP was there, that'd be an added bonus! haha but i dont know if im gonna get to NJ lol

its been a long time.

i'm home in roanoke. the noke. havent seen really ANYONE but matt and sarah...so, i guess ill get around to that once i get some time.

i came home and unpacked and was here for a day and then packed back up and headed to winchester. we went to a concert and awards ceremony when we got there and i saw LYDIA BEASELY so i talked to her for a while. it was nice :) then saturday ashley graudated. she has informed the family that we can call her 'professional musician ashley' from now on. it was nice outside. so thats good. but the graduation ceremony was long & kind of boring...as expected :)

then we left after that and went to some random relative's house for a BBQ. YUM it was good. i got to change out of my dress :)

headed to gettysburg for the night. we went to the battlefield. pretty sunset. blahblah. ate at some random restaurant, too.

then we drove to philly. got lost. i had to call ANDY MAGER to help get us to the train station. love him. thanks a ton :) so we found it. got on the train. and ended up...

IN NEW YORK. itsy bitsy small hotel room. ashley's room had a rat/mouse. they moved to the 14th floor. we were still on the 4th. one room away from the rodent. :/

we walked around some that night and ending up at a play...Spelling Bee. kind of cute and pretty funny. then we went to sleep. the next day we did tour bus all day. made stops all over the city but it was rainy and foggy so we only got off on a few stops....such as ground zero, the UN, statue of liberty (we only looked at it from afar), starbucks, etc :) haha. then that night we went to the yankees game. gave away some free hotdogs that we had. new yorkers loved us. pretty fun. next day we went to the Met and saw some cool stuff and then went shopping a bit - macys, H&M, tourist shop, etc - then back to the room to change and another play that night "dirty rotten scoundrels". this was a good play,too. same level of funniness i think. pretty good. thennnnnnnnnnn we came home the next day.

whew. then saturday night i went camping with matt and some of his friends at the lake. sooooo pretty sunset. fun times. and here i am....


my mouth is still swollen from the sugery i had thursday am on my gums. ew. and i can feel the stitches in my mouth. ew. not really so much swollen as just annoying on the inside. whatever. hard to explain.

i got a job at the RAC, like i said before. now i think im not gonna work there. daddy said that dan could use me for 2 different jobs this summer, paying $10.00/hour like last summer. good money. crappy job. but i guess i'd rather have the money than enjoy myself playing with little kids this summer??? i dont know. guess thats what im doing...

right now im sitting here thinking of what im gonna say to karen when i call her and tell her im not gonna work with her this summer. thinking about the annoying feeling thats in my mouth. and wishing that this sneeze would come out that has been sitting in my nose for 3 days, now.

hope everyone's summers are going well and you are having fun. ill try to post a few post-worthy pics up here later if i can get filebox to work.....love yas.

With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT
I don't care about spots on my apples,
LEAVE me the birds and the bees please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now, they paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not?

Listen, late last night, heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Well, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Well now, they paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna givin it all away
Hey, hey, hey
Now you wanna give it
I should wanna give it
Now you wanna givin it all away

Hey, paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Paved paradise, and put up a parking lot

if you havent today, go to google. look at the "Google" image. it's Miro inspired. Miro was born on April 20th. Google is celebrating a spanish painter. i'm proud and impressed. you can click the Google image and learn more about Miro if you don't know who he is. a very impressive and talented painter.



i watched crash last night with some people in here. a very good movie. a moving movie. thought-provoking. sad. and depressing. i hate those kinds of movies.....



my cousin adam's wife lindsay's father was killed yesterday in an elevator accident. he works with elevators and was in TN on a business trip. i dont know exactly what happened but i'd appreciate it if you would keep lindsay, adam, the musgrove's, stultz's, and all their friends and family in your prayers. thanks.

ive been asked multiple times why i have a baby as my background. i think its because they are so innocent. they get to live life without much of any worries. it's a pretty good deal if you ask me.

and i LOVE black and white pictures. it also shows the simplicity of life. brings out the important things and leaves anything else that may get in the way of your understanding the picture to darkness.
