Vampire story... help with criticism and a title!!!!

            Vampires have existed for hundreds of years unbeknownst to the human race. In the year 2080 the vampire Elders grew bored of living in hiding and decided to reveal the race to the world. It is now 2100; Taiga Kira is a Technoid Vampire who was turned in the year 1980 by her Mate and Master, Kaito Camui, a 400 year old Renaiason vampire. They reside in a small mansion on the outskirts of Akihabara, Japan, the vampire capital of the world. Today is July 4^th, Taiga’s 120^th anniversary of Kaito turning her. Kaito has decided to drive Taiga to her favorite sushi restaurant, Miyazaki, in the Technoid District of Downtown Tokyo.

            As they sit in traffic, “Taiga, honey. Why do you always wear those plaid bondage pants and cat ear hoodies? Couldn’t you have dressed a little bit nicer? Especially for tonight?” “Well you should know how much of a fashionista I am, we have been dating for 122 years. I just felt like wearing my 2050 style clothes tonight, especially since we’re headed to my district. This style is all the rage here.” “I know darling,” says Kaito, “but since it’s our anniversary, you couldn’t have worn one of my favorite outfits?” Nudging Taiga, “if you know what I mean.” Taiga rolls her ruby red eyes, “you are such a Renaiason. Sheesh. Why do you think I’m wearing this hoodie? To hide my Aya Hirano shirt? No, it’s to hide this damn corset you love.” “The blue one with the dragons?” “No, the red one with the geishas. Of course it’s the blue one! Why else in the world would I be wearing my black and blue bondage pants?” “Because all of your other pants were dirty? I don’t know.” She sighs and shakes her head, “that’s why I fell in love with my Koizumi in 1978.” Kaito takes a deep breath as they pull up to the parking attendant’s stand at Miyazaki sushi. “Ah, Koizumi, that was the best September of my 278 year existence. You were Anya back then.”

            The couple steps out of Kaito’s classic baby blue 2067 Lamborghini Murcielago. As Kaito throws the keys to the attendant he rushes to Taiga’s side to offer his arm to her. She gladly accepts and they proceed to the small holo-hostess desk in the front of the restaurant. Kaito motions for a 2 person table and then inserts a 1000 yen bill into her cash slot. They wait only long enough for them to take a deep gaze into each other’s eyes and for Kaito to playfully kiss Taiga on the pale nape of her neck. The holo-hostess then brings them to a table on the second floor balcony overlooking the large restaurant. A conveyor belt runs along the banister side of the small table showcasing different sashimi and sushi rolls.

            “I know this is silly, but, tell me how we met.” “You do not remember my darling Taiga?” “No, I do remember it’s just I like it when you tell it. You’re such a good story teller.” “Fine, I shall tell you my little bat. It was an abnormally muggy night on the 23^rd of August in 1978. You and I were both at Club Snow near Tokyo University; you were searching for a new beau and me my next victim. You caught my eye from across the club while you were dancing with your girlfriends, with a Jack and Coke in your hand. At first I thought you were just another AB- but as I got closer to you, you turned out to be someone different, someone new, like no other person I have ever wanted to turn. Usually I turned people right after I lured them to the alley or my car and get their permission. But I couldn’t do that to you for some reason. Something told me to court you, and so I followed my instinct and bought you some drinks and invited you to a private room in the club. There we kissed each other with such passion that everything else disappeared in the club until it closed at 3 am. I almost bit you when we left but my instinct held me back. I drove you to my place in Akihabara where you stayed the night and never left.” “I remember that night,” reminisced Taiga, “I had just turned 22 that July and I had also just finished my junior year at Tokyo U.” “Yes, you were. You looked so beautiful and still do.” She blushes and grabs a plate of tuna sashimi off of the conveyor belt.

            Taiga opens and breaks apart her chopsticks. Slowly she starts peeling off the different layers of the tuna, like every vampire does to savor their meals. As Kaito grabs a plate with a swordfish roll on it, he spots some suspicious looking characters across the balcony. Taiga continues to peel the layers of the tuna when Kaito abruptly grabs her chopsticks and motions with his eyes to the shady men. She takes a quick glance at them and gasps.  “Hunters,” she mouths and Kaito nods in agreement.

            “What are they doing here? I thought the hunters were mandated by the United World Council to live in Hong Kong,” whispered Taiga. “They are, but they can still visit the world darling. Just so we don’t bring attention to ourselves we need to eat like humans.” “Really?! Ugh! I hate taking big bites out of sashimi it ruins the whole flavor.” “For me my love,” whispers Kaito as he caresses her hand and kisses it. She blushes and nods her head in agreement.

             They finish their plates of food and leave Miyazaki’s sushi to retrieve Kaito’s car from the valet only to find that the valets, “don’t have my keys?! What do you mean you don’t have my keys? I gave my keys from my blue Murcielago to that attendant over there just an hour ago!” “I’m sorry sir but there is no record of a blue Murcielago in our garage” explains the attendant.  “There has to be! I have the ticket right here with my number on it! It has to be in there!” screams Kaito. As he continues to argue Taiga spots the same hunters that were in the restaurant, staring and whispering to each other. She tries to get Kaito’s attention by tugging at his jacket sleeve. “I’m busy darling” he says with a stern tone in his voice. She tugs harder and he just shoos her away. She gets aggravated and reaches up to turn Kaito’s head toward the hunters. As he turns back to the attendant he says “um, don’t worry about it. We will just walk home. Thank you for your time.” Kaito firmly grabs Taiga’s hand and walks away from the restaurant.

            They are taking quick steps through the streets of Downtown Tokyo, with the hunters in pursuit. Even though they are walking very fast, they just look like as if nothing was wrong. Just a couple walking at a fast pace through the dimly lit streets of Tokyo. Kaito leans down to whisper in her ear, “they are not far behind us, my love.” She gives him a kiss in return, “what should we do?” “Well, I have a feeling that they are going to keep following us so I don’t want to lead them to our place. I know of a little hotel with an anti-hunter spell on it. Did you bring your dirt dear?” “Yes, but do you really think they will hurt us?” “Love, they are hunters. Of course they will hurt us. But don’t worry; as soon as we cross in the street into that parking lot we will be safe for a while. We will stay the day and then hopefully they are gone by then.” “Honey I’m scared. I’m even more scared than I was before 2080. They could actually kill us.” “Don’t worry darling I think I have a plan”

            They cross the street into the parking lot and into the hotel lobby to get a room key. They proceed to their 5^th floor parking lot view room. Taiga peeks out the window to see the hunters staring at the hotel. “Kaito they’re still outside, what do we do?” “I don’t know I’m trying to figure out why they are following us maybe I can call Takasu and see what he says.”

            Takasu is the Pureblood head of the Kyuuketsuki clan of southern Japan and Kaito’s master. He is also one of the Elders who decided to reveal the race in 2080. Takasu always disliked Kaito for the fact that he doesn’t turn many humans into vampires just because he can. Kaito only turns humans after he gets their consent, like Taiga.

            The phone rings for 3 minutes straight. Finally the phone clicks “Hello? Hello, Takasu-sensei? My Lord it is Kaito your humble servant. I have something to inquire.” “Yes my son,” slowly and low comes through the phone. “My Lord did Taiga and my self do anything to upset the elders?” “No, my son you have not upset the other elders. Why do you ask?” “Only because my servant and I have hunters following us, Master” “Hunters you say? Ah, I see they have finally found you. Excellent.” “Excellent! What do you mean by excellent?” “You have been a horrid servant; you haven’t turned anyone since 1980.” “Well my Lord, I have found my soul-less mate and we have made a commitment to not turn anyone else. She herself has not even tasted fresh human blood, only the blood from the bars.” “What you have decided to do with your existence is unacceptable. It is against the whole vision of this race,” jeers Takasu. “And just what is the vision of this race, master?” Kaito questions with anger in his voice. Takasu replies with a sneering joy in his voice, “to take over the world and enslave the human race to be our pets.” “That’s, that’s just horrible Takasu! Is that the whole reason you and the Elders revealed our race? Just so they would know who their master would be? You are all evil!” “Aw, well thank you Kaito that’s the sweetest thing you have ever said to me since 1700. Yes, that is our plan and there is nothing you can do to stop us.” Kaito screams into the phone, “Just wait. You will see, Taiga and I will stop you! No matter what it takes!” He hangs up and throws the phone against the wall.

ive been doin a little thinking...

hayy guys!!!

im back for a little while! ive just been thinking about the story i wrote a few semesters ago for my creative writing class. its gonna sound cheesy but its about vampires... i know lame its so over done since the twilight books, but i think my story might have a little twist that might get your attention. so as i was writing this story i brought together all the things i know a fair bit about (Vampires, Japan, Music Etc.) and shoved them into the story. it's also based in the future in the year 2100 when vampires have finally decided to reveal their existence to the human world. im gonna post the story, or what i have of the story on my next blog and i would like some feed back if at all possible because i would like to try to finish this story possibly before the start of the fall semester. im also gonna post some of the Main Character's profiles in another post after i post the story...

i look forward to hearing back from all of my followers and give me some good constructive criticism to help me finish the story cause it kinda ends abruptly...

Some New Things

hayy guys! heather is back again!

so alot of things have happened in this past month! i came back from my mission trip to Germany. I got kicked out of UPA cause of new management wanting to remodel buildings A B and C (DUMB). I moved into a new house with the Diva Den on Gen. Mouton in Lafayette. im attending summer school. but all in all im having a great summer so far!

ok so mission trip!

i really wish i could have stayed here for like 4 more months. i just love the city, the people, the culture, the multitude of carbonated drinks... yes carbonated drinks. ever since ive come back from germany i havent stopped drinking  homemade Apfelschorle and going to sonic during happy hour and getting a route 44 coke with orange in it.

so the first Monday we were in Berlin we played S and U-bahn golf. We basically split up into teams and went looking for landmarks on the metro system. This was to get us used to getting around the city. My team got to see the Brandenburg Gate (where the famous line by President Reagan " Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down this wall!" was said) , the East Side Gallery (the largest section of the Berlin Wall that is still standing) , the television tower and so much more.

For the next few days we went on to the Technical University campus and handed out iced tea and talked  to students about SFC (students for christ). We also went to Humboldt university where Einstein taught and Karl Marx attended. We also did outreach here but it was just talking to students.

On Friday we had a Louisiana night and we cooked jambalaya and gumbo with German ingredients.... surprisingly it came out good, i just wish i would have gotten some :(

then the second Monday we went back to the campuses and invited more people to their Tuesday night service called the Living Room.  And Tuesday night we hosted the Living Room. a few of us gave our testimony on how we came to Christ. then our pastor Eric talked about how our lives are like an airplane ride, we are all on planes flying to a destination and sometimes peoples planes will land and wait for a layover (when you fall away from the church) and then as we get older our planes will reach our final destination (when we die) and how if we accept Christ as our savior we can be sure that when ever our plane lands we can be sure that we are going to Heaven. After the message was over Eric asked if anyone would like to make sure their plane was going to land in Heaven, and we had one student give his life to Christ for the first time and then we had another student renew his life in Christ because he had fallen away from the church.

I was really sad to leave. I miss my Friends i made there oh so much! but i still keep in touch with them via Facebook.

we left on Wednesday morning  at about 9 am we had to take the U bahn and a bus to get to the airport and when we got there we said our goodbyes and there was lots of crying and promises from me and Caroline of meeting up with each other in New York for a Green Day Concert. we have some strong Headwinds so we have to make a pit stop in Canada. this pit stop made us arrive to the Newark airport 2 hours later than we were supposed to and a half an hour before our flight to Houston. so we were late to our flight but we watched our flight sit at the airport terminal for about 45 mins because it was raining but they wouldn't open up the doors to let us in. so we watched our flight leave with out us. we finally got another flight at about 7 pm that nightwe get to Houston around 10 pm luckily we didnt have to sleep in the airport until the next morning cause Eric had one of the People from Crossroads church in Lafayette come and pick us up from the Houston airport and we drove back to Lafayette. we finally got home around 2:30 am i crashed in my apt until about 2 pm the next day (curse you jet lag!! lol)

well thats about all i have for now gotta get back to class! lol

Going on a Mission trip

hayy everyone!!! sorry i haven't posted in a while!! Ive just been soo busy with school and iTeam stuff i kinda put my blog on the back burner. but im back for  little while.

so as my title suggests im going on a mission trip!!! yup a mission trip! i cant wait! ill be heading to Berlin, Germany with Chi Alpha the week after finals. the trip is gonna cost about $1500-1800 which im trusting that God will provide me with.  i really cannot wait!!

now comes the worrying... ive been hearing all this about a government shut down and how the passport offices will close if this happens. and its kinda freaking me out, not to mention i cant check the status of my passport online for some reason. i cant figure out why.

and secondly i wasnt really worrying about funds but then mom started worrying about the funds and now im worrying. i know my mom has done a fairly great job on raising money by selling raffle tickets for a night at the Hilton Riverside.

but all in all i really cant wait to go and i know that God will provide the necessary funds and the expedited service i need on my passport.

ill keep yall updated on my funds!

<3 Heather

Lafayette fails

this weekend i witnessed my first Lafayette Parade that had nothing to do with homecoming at UL. and in all my years i have never seen such a Parade fail so hard.

ill start off with the good (or lack thereof)
1: they threw stuff. yea i know kinda sad for a good thing but hayy its a parade ur supposed to throw stuffs.

2:thats about it

the bad

1:Krewe of Rio????? 9 times out of 10 parades are named after Greek or Roman gods like Bacchus, Orpheus, Endymion, Caesar, Etc. of course there are a few exceptions Mid-City Shangri-la, and the ones named after organizations such as the Elks of Orleans or Jeffersonians. but RIO??? and its Latin themed!!! no No NO!!!! just fail.

2: baracades. ok i know most neworleans parades have baracades some where along the route like around Lee circle, the begining of Endymion where they have the Samedi Gras (fat sautrday) concert. ok thats fine but theres no baracades along st.charles and parts of canal. but thie parade not only had baracades along the whole route they put them up a day and a half early!! the parade wasnt until saturday night!!! so everyone was inconvenienced all day friday and saturday until after the parade. new orleans usually just puts neat little stacks of baracades out every hundred feet or so so that way a crew can come out and place them a few hours before the parade.

3: clean up. ok some parades usually dont clean up until a few hours after the parade is over (chalmette parades some metairie parades) but this was just ridiculous it was an hour or so after the parade and they started to clean up and just infront of the Cafe where i was watching the parade it took them a good half an hour to clean up a little block and a half long spot. we left the cafe at about 11:30  pm after we cleaned up from the meriwether concert and they had only gotten down to Lewis street which is about 5-6 blocks away from cafe. uggh had to take back roads to get to B-dubs. annoying.

4: the floats. this parade looked like a cross between the truck parades, a chalmette parade and the Irish-Italian parades in new orleans. ok i know that there probably arent that many highschool or elementary school bands to be put in between every float but at least try. they could have tried to follow the 2-3 floats then  a band 2-3 floats then a band, repeat. and heck throw in a little street car with a band in it somewhere in there too. but no it was float, band, 7 floats, band, 5 floats, band, 10 floats. every float had their own sound system so on one float that was past you u hear aerosmith the one right infront of you is Ke$ha and the one coming after the one infront of you is blaring some random cajun song (probably dont step on my toot toot or she's  a Vibrator. yes these are actual names of songs)  just so much music overload. it was like the Irish-Italian parades in Metairie.

5 the bands. o the bands they were just pathetic, from what i could see from cafe they were very very unorganized. some of them werent even in straight lines. yea just... yea.

o well i guess no one can do parades like New Orleans can. i think ill stick to my Metairie parades, Chalmette parades Endymion, Bacchus, Orpheus, Zulu and Rex. im sad im going to miss them this year but im super pumped to be doin God's work in Commerce, Texas!!! leaving in 4 days!!!
GEAUX LIONS!!!!! lol

til next blog!!

songs in my head

yea ive been having two songs stuck in my head for a few days now... yes they're both Green Day songs but ill just leave these here..  right here on the refrigerator....


SHE


She...
She screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her mind
Waiting for a sign
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control
Are you locked up in a world
That's been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you
She...
She's figured out
All her doubts were someone else's point of view
Waking up this time
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control
Are you locked up in a world
That's been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you

and the second



WHEN I COME AROUND


I heard you crying loud,
all the way across town
You've been searching for that someone,
and it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
Well, don't get lonely now
And dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get so uptight
you been thinking about ditching me
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser
to try and flag me down because I know you're right
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self-doubt means nothing
was ever there
You can't go forcing something if it's just
not right
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
 No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
When I come around
When I come around
When I come around 

SOOOO MUCH AGGRAVATION!!!!

beautiful days are upon us! people are already staring to shed their layers, and sometimes i wish they wouldnt. now is the time when we find out who the "skanky" sorority girls are. as for me im still wearing pants just switched to short sleeve shirts now. you won't see me in shorter leg coverings until about mid april and even then i wont have anything on thats shorter than 3 inches above my knee (guess its that catholic school training) i really dont know how these girls can wear these shorts that are either right under their butts or have them hanging out, it's just..... uuuuuugggggghhhhhhh gross!!

o and i also have a sore throat for like the 3rd time this semester! this really sucks and for some reason this always happens when i have to lead life group... what the heck?????

ok so last Thursday i went to this Christian concert called Winter Jam. i had an awesome time! sadly i had to miss TNL for it. i was sad that i missed TNL but the concert was amazing!!!! the next day everyone at XA was questioning me about why i wasn't at TNL like i had just committed murder. i really dont understand this. yes i know im a leader and i kinda have to go to TNL, but its not like i went to a death-metal-Satan-worshiping concert. i went to a Christian concert where i was Spiritually fed with the Word of God through music and a message given by Tony Nolan. i know i should have stayed in Lafayette for TNL but this was just an amazing concert that i couldnt pass up (mostly cause im a concert junkie) cause it was only $10 for like 10 bands!!!  some ppl have been trying to make me regret not going to TNL last Thursday but i have NO REGRETS about going to Winter Jam.

over the weekend i had an awesome time with my friends we went roaming around the coulee in front of UPA. well in order to get down to the bottom you need to slide down the side. well stupid me forgot that i had my cell phone and keys in both of my back pockets...yup i now have a hole in both of my pockets. this sucks sooooooo freaking bad i love those pants i was wearing. oh and to add to the aggravation. we were roaming down to the flooded part of the coulee and so we had to climb on the sides so that we wouldnt step in the water cause it was about 6 inches deep and really swampy-like. so i was side stepping on the side walls and to get across a small run off spot i had to grab on to some vines and take a really large step over this run off spot, well needles to say, i slipped and fell into the run off which was full of algae and mud (God i pray it was mud!) so yea now i have mud and whatnot all over my shirt and pants now too! yay!!!!


uuuuggghhhh just so much  aggravation i hope this week get better. wait i dont hope this week gets better i know this week will get better.

RANDOM QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

Guys Scenario: a Girl finds out she's pregnant. shes not dating anyone, she hasn't done anything immoral. She has faith that this is Immaculate Conception, and now God is telling her to find a husband, who just so happens to be you. she tells you what has happened and asks you to marry her within the next few days, What do you do?

Girls Scenario: A guy receives a message from God that he is to be a husband to a young woman because she is going to be pregnant by God's will. now this guy walks up to you and tells you that you are going to have an immaculate conception and that God has told him that he is to wed you within the next few days, What do you do?

part 2: Who out of your friends do you think would be the most animated if this happened to them?(guy or girl)

Happy Monday to everyone,  Happy Valentines Day to the couples, and Happy Singles Appreciation Day to everyone else!!!!

i went to whataweekend!!! and it was awesome!!

o man what a weekend

i started off by dropping Wisinger off in Ponchatoula (that's how you spell it Cody) then headed to the Chalmation Nation! aka Chalmette. man do i miss being down there. it's such a quaint little city. full of churches, little neighborhoods, daiquiri shops, an IHOP, green space and a Wal-Mart. i really do miss living down there. but i think i might have caught a little of the Katrina Flu while i was there because of the mold and refinery smoke... dont worry its not the real flu its just what they call the coughing that happens when ever you go to St. Bernard for a short period of time and come back hacking up a lung. lol

went and had a girls night with Molly and it was epic! went and rented Easy A and then ran to walgreens and picked up Yoo-Hoo's and bags of chocolate. (yea were chocoholics)

saturday was good, went to Lakeside (the mall) and got me a new wallet and some more urban decay eyeliner. (yay!!)  pizza with the rents and then we watched the sorcerer's apprentice, it was pretty good. then we watched the last little bit of saturday night live and made fun of chris brown for being a Johnny-Cash-Michael-Jackson-Usher-Marvin-Gaye wannabe. after watched a little documentary segment about Pope John Paul II's visit to New Orleans.

while this documentary segment was going on my Dad says "look its the pope-mobile" and then me and my mom proceed to sing the old batman theme and say "Pope-Man!!!!" o man i have never laughed that hard with my parents in a really long time

went to try a new church this weekend. its called Church of the King, its in Covington (thanks Josh for the suggestion!!) i think i finally found a home church in Mandeville!! i went to like 4 different ones over the Christmas break but i never really liked them. and i had that song that goes "our God is greater, Our God is stronger God you are higher than any other!" stuck in my head all morning and the first song they play is that one so i took it as a sign that this is the church that i should call home when im in Mandeville. yays!!

Chicken and gravy!!! OM NOM NOM!  thats what we had for supper (yes supper, cause its in between lunch and dinner.) and now im headed back to Lafayette for another fun filled school week!!! (sant you just smell the sarcasm reeking from that last sentence) but then again with all my friends it will be fun filled! especially thursday!!! yay!!! Winter Jam!!!! cant wait!!!

o and sorry i didnt post yesterday i was just busy catching up and goofing off with my parents. dont worry ill be posting daily again starting today!

I'm going Home, to the place where I belong...

Below freezing again!!!! What The Freak?!?!?!?!?!?  I think Punxsutawney Phil, the weather predicting groundhog, might have gotten his prediction wrong! but thats beside the fact. 


i'm going home today, for the first time since the semester started. it feels kind of odd. like i kinda wanna go but not really. i guess im sort of getting to the point of "im an adult, i dont need to go home every weekend, i've made my place in Lafayette." but then again i really do miss my family and like i said i havent seen them in a while. thats the main reason im going home


i also realized another reason of why i do need to go home... i need my birth certificate.. lol. why you may ask? im going to Germany on a missions trip this summer. i cant wait! were gonna go to the University of Berlin and help out the branch of Chi Alpha there. 


Speaking of upcoming mission trips.... I found out where im going for MGO!!! (Mardi Gras Outreach, for all you non-Chi Alphans) I'm going to  Texas A&M-Commerce!!! WOOT!!! GEAUX LIONS!!!!  omg can't wait!!! i know our team leaders are Kelly (one of my Life Group leaders) and Charlie (one of the Interns). i just found out that the team consists of  Daja Williams, Jess Mahoney, Trey Delcambre, Greg Feast, Brandi Davis, Stephen Prudhomme Nadine (dont know her last name cause she doesnt have a facebook) and Mary Vickers! cant wait for Training Day to get to know everyone on the team better, and also help Texas A&M Commerce get to know God better!


this post is probably gonna be one of my short ones... o wait ... it is. 
untill next time kiddies!

don't you just hate those kind of nights

hayy boys and girls its Heathers first real blog post!

its a lovely almost freezing Thursday morning. i love Thursdays especially because later tonight there's TNL Chi Alpha's Weekly worship service! my Thursdays are usually very uneventful in the morning i wake up, get dressed, head over to cafe on my little purple cruiser bike, have my usual Thursday morning chat with Josh before he goes to class, act a fool with Joy behind the coffee bar, catch up on homework that due for my 11am class and then head off to class. but this morning my routine was rudely interrupted by a little thing that everyone has probably had at one point in their life, yes a nightmare.

i was woken from my slumber from a nightmare at about 4 am. sure everyone had a nightmare or two when they wake up for a split second just to catch their breath from a falling type dream. but this dream was different, after i awoke from this dream i had to wake up and bandage my hand which took about 15 minutes.

most of you are probably like "what the Heck? bandage your hand??" yes you read correctly bandage my hand. i punched the wall next to my bed because of my nightmare. it was that bad of a nightmare! "well Heather, are you gonna tell us all about this nightmare since you sparked our interest?" well if you really want to know ill tell you.

now gather around the fireplace children, This might be a good story... maybe... i hope... but probably not

i was having a nice peaceful dream about how my day was gonna go today. my dream then fast forwarded to TNL tonight. everyone was there, the UPA Gang and mostly all of Chi Alpha. and then i see "him", let's call "him"... "John" i see John with his baggy clothes and his usual beanie on. he spots me, and I'm like "o crap" so i try to avoid him by ducking in to the middle of The Gang. but it doesnt work John still comes over give everybody daps and then he gets to me... "o i know whats coming he wants a hug and i don't wanna give him one." i extend my hand for dap but John has other things on his agenda, and this is where the nightmare starts, he grabs my hand and pulls me close into a hug. as this happens im like "uuuuggggghhhhh why isn't anyone doing anything????? some one call me away to go do something!!!!" but no one does. and then the nightmare just gets worse. he tries to pull me in for a kiss!!! EEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! as soon as i realize this is happening i gather up all my might and push myself away i yell "i can't believe you think i like you like that!!!!!!" i send a left hook to his chest and then a right uppercut to his face. and this is when i wake up. because i had just very forcefully punched my wall. not enough to put a hole in it, but just enough to wake me up by making my hand hurt enough to scream obscenities.

don't you just hate that! ive woken up to a whole bunch of other things like screaming in my sleep, falling out of my bed, not being able to breathe because i was sick, drunk roomates banging on my door cause i left a note politely asking them to clean up their multitude of beer cans and cake smears on the wall (thats a story for another day), but never have i been woken up by punching my wall.  this is officially the oddest way to wake up in the middle of the night.

i hope that the throbbing goes away by tomorrow.

just thought i should let yall all know why my hand is bandaged so i wont have to explain it to as many people tonight at TNL.

speaking of TNL... MGO ANNOUNCEMENTS TONIGHT!!!!!!! omg so exciting!!!!! i wonder where im going?

ill post about it tomorrow!

as tigger says TTFN Ta Ta For Now! woo hoo hoo hoo!!

Now this is a story all about how my life got twisted upside down...

Hayy there boys and girls!!! do you know what time it is???? no, no, its not Adventure time with finn and jake!! It's time for another exciting blog post from Heather!!! well, maybe not so exciting, but interesting none the less! I will tell you of the story of the, for now, lone resident of The pLace.


if you haven't guessed it already the name's Heather. I'm a 21 year old Broadcasting Major at ULL. i currently live at The pLace by myself :'( but in a week or so i get a new roomie!! yays!!


i dont know why but i feel like making another list list or two... possibly three! so here goes nothing!!


My Loves


1: God. he is just... AWESOME!! I love Him so much and I'm so glad i found Him hiding behind my couch!! we have been BFF's since December of 2007 when i decided to devote my life to Him. It's all because of Him that my life is as amazing as it is right now. i thank Him everyday that He has given me such an amazing life.


2: My Family. they are possibly the craziest group of people i know in the entire world next to my friends, but i still love them with all my heart. my Mom's side is one big Italian Family kinda like the family on my Big Fat Greek Wedding except we're not Greek and we dont have Joey Fatone from Nsync. My Dad's side is pretty cool they're an army family mostly everyone has been in the army on his side.


3: My Friends. They are the most amazing group of people in the entire world!!! Molly, Lindsay, Claire, Morgan, Mollie, Tiffany, Stephen, Daniel, Cody, Wisinger, Caleb and Josh, I loves you all!! they all know the right thing to say whenever I'm down. and they always encourage me to do my best and be myself and to never let anyone make me do otherwise. we laugh together, make random trips to Wal-Mart together, cry together and watch Glee together... well maybe not so much all of us watch Glee together but most of us!


My Likes


1: Music is my life. it expresses me in ways words cant. if i didn't have music i would probably die... no really i probably would. one of my favorite sayings is "When words fail, Music Speaks" this is so true. sometimes i dont know how to express myself so i just put song lyrics as my Facebook status and people get it. i love music so much i was gonna be a music major but i dont know how to play any instruments that great, so i made it my minor!


2: Green Day. BEST BAND IN THE FREAKING WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!! yes Green Day. some of yall will say im obsessed but who can blame me? ive been listening to them since i was little. and im sorry for getting kind of deep-ish but if it wasn't for Green Day's American Idiot album, especially Wake me up when September ends, i wouldnt be here right now. American Idiot Made me realize after Katrina, that the world can be a sucky place sometimes, and even though your world can come crashing down in an instant, you just got to keep moving because eventually it will get better. and that Cody Wisinger is why Green Day is the best band in the world!


3: Horror movies. i am a horror movie junkie! i love getting freaked out! every Halloween i have a horror movie marathon even if no one comes over.


4: Japan. OMG JAPAN! i love every thing about Japan! the culture, the history, the Anime! before i die i will spend at least 2 months in Japan. im in the process of learning Japanese...from my Nintendo ds lol. i watch so much anime too! not as much as Molly but i think it's a fair amount. my favorites include The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, K-On!, Chi's Sweet Home, and mostly anything that is girly and adorable.


5: Video Games. i dont consider myself a hardcore gamer but i do like to play them especially Rock Band and Michael Jackson: The Experience. and every now and then i play rpg games like No More Heroes, Poke'mon, Mario, Brutal Legend, and i especially love playing the zombie game on Call of duty: Black Ops, i epicly fail at it though.


6: Sleep. i loves it! i wanna sleep like at least 15 hours every day but i know i cant because then i wouldnt have a life! but i do love my little catnaps, they're just awesome.


7:Musicals. Rocky Horror, The Producers, Repo the Genetic Opera. any kinda of musical i love it!


8: Johnny Depp. you all knew this one was coming... I freaking love this man, hes just awesome. i think hes one of the best actors out there. My favorite character he plays is Captain Jack Sparrow From Pirates of the Caribbean. (why you ask? its the guy-liner!) My friend Josh Hernandez does an amazing Capt. Jack impression!! me and Morgan get all giggly when he does it. and hes WAAAAAAYYY hotter than Brad Pitt.


9: Making Videos. hayy its part of my major! and plus i am also the video announcement team leader at Chi Alpha. which means i make commercials for all the upcoming events that are going on at Chi Alpha.


10: As stated in #8 Guy-Liner. I am a total sucker for this! but only certain guys can pull off this look. Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day and Johnny Depp are the best examples of guy-liner wearers. if a guy can look good with eye liner on I am sold! Just take me now! and we can go live in our own little punk rock eyeliner world!  teehee I'm a dork XD


My Dislikes


1: Chick flicks. i know there was probably a few WTF?'s that happened right there... i know, a girl who doesnt like chick flicks its almost in human. but i just can't stand them i'll take blood, gore and fighting over the whole kissy-kissy-use-a-whole-box-of-kleenex type movies. prime example of how much i dislike chick flicks: yall know that movie "a walk to remember" right? what was the part most girls cried on? **Spoiler alert** when Mandy Moore dies right? not me i thought the saddest part of the entire movie was when the Mustang was Wrecked. i actually did shed a tear or two when that happened.


2: Tomatoes. the UPA gang knows this. i spent most of lunch one day at leadership advance searching the sandwich table for a single sandwich with out tomatoes for over 10 minutes. i eat tomato sauce, ketchup, meat sauce, but give me a raw tomato on my sandwich and i freak out. i remember one time at mc Donald'd i forgot to tell them no tomatoes and i freaked out when i opened my sandwich to put ketchup on it. i freaked out so much i just yelled "get it off get it off!!" to Josh cause i dont even like touching them they just have the grossest texture in the entire world.


3: im pretty sure there's more things i dont like i just cant thing of them right now


Lagniappe


in case you are not from Louisiana it means "a little something extra."


-i am deathly afraid of spiders... yup full blown arachniphobia.
-i am slightly claustriphobic. i usuallysit on the end or right near the end of the row at worship services. but yet -i love being crammed up against the baricade almost touching the band at concerts.
-but besides being afraid of spiders and being scared of most tight spaces one of my biggest fears is going deaf. that would just be awful!!!! i wouldn't be able to hear all of my favorite bands... i wouldn't be able to listen to new music... (starts to hyper ventilate) i wouldn't be able to effectively converse with my friends... and worst of all (commence freaking out...) i wouldn't be able to hear Josh's Captain Jack Sparrow impression!!!! (NOW!) AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! OMG NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! THIS CANT HAPPEN!!! WAKE UP!! WAKE UP!! WAKE UP!!!! ok, ok, calm down Heather, its not gonna happen! just think about something else... umm... music... umm...Concerts... umm...Green Day! ok im better! :-) ummmmmm...lets just move on to something else...... 
- i have also decided to ward off getting into bf/gf type relationships with boys for a while, only a few people know the date when my boy exodus is over. I'm doing this because i really need to focus on school and growing in my realationship with God. and plus i am newly single from a 3year relationship so yea i just need this.




well i guess we might just end it here for today.... first realy blog post tomorrow!!


see you tomorrow. thanks for tuning in and remeber to always spay and neuter your cats and dogs!

The Beginning

Kon'nichiwa! watashi no namae wa hezā wa, watashi no burogu ni dai kangeidesu!!!!


ok ok sorry for all that random Japanese... in case you had no idea what you were reading it says "Hello! my name is Heather, and welcome to my blog!" and no this is not some rip off of that Family Guy episode where Brian and Frank Sinatra Jr. go and buy a club and then Stewie turns it in to pLace. 


first off a few things you should know about me and this blog.


1: as my friend Cody said in his blog "once you read something you can't unread it!" meaning i might say somethings that will offend some people, which i am sorry, i don't mean to, its just my opinion on the matter.


2: i am a girl! i know... it's shocking! so yes occasionally i will come on here to vent and complain about the trials and tribulations of being a fairly newly single girl. sorry if your a guy and you think im writing about you, but in the words of that old Carly Simon song "you're so vain! you probably thing this blog is about you! don't you?" (yea i know the words are wrong but hey! at least im not Christina Aguilera!!!)


3: I'm a Christian. i love Jesus, and he loves you too! whether or not you choose to believe that or not is completely up to you. I'm not here to convict you about the things that you are doing wrong in your life or to start a religious debate, just give it time and God will do that on his own! =D


4: I am no Shakespeare! i will make some grammatical errors! Even though im in a grammar class... we'll just leave that there for a moment... but anyway there will be multiple misspelled words and randomnesses so starting now i apologize to all the grammar Nazis.


5: Music defines most of... no, wait... ALL of my life. if i did not have music in my life i wouldn't be able to fully express myself to the full extent. so most of my headings of my posts will probably be some sort of song title, and heck probably every now and then i might just post a song and thats it!!!


6: This is Heather's blog, not your blog! so i have every right to whine complain, dream and state my opinion on any and everything i want. AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!


7: of course your comments and feedback are welcome but only in the comment section! (cause thats what it's there for!) cause everybody loves a nice little pat on the back every now and then, so in the words of the Faubourg Marigny district in New Orleans " Be nice or Leave"


well kiddies thats all for now tune in tomorrow around the same time-ish for the next exciting episode of the Mis-adventures at the pLace!
