			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seeing how it&#8217;s time to update the darned thing (like a million years ago), I thought a great way would be through song and dance. Since I&#8217;m not nearly brave enough to do such an act, the following phrases will have to do:</p>
<p>I&#8217;m fermented. In the good and bad sense of the word. The situation from my previous conundrum has been totally reversed, and <em>I </em>am the tool being used to get some.</p>
<p>Of course it&#8217;s with the person that I like. I wanna play the &#8220;I saw him first!&#8221; Game, but that would just be (more) childish.</p>
<p>I&#8230;. just don&#8217;t know what to do.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Running away was once just a dream, clouded by poor judgment and laziness. But, dear gentlemen, I have decided to not let that be the case.</p>
<p>To let you in on my little secret, I have ran away.  Probably not physically, but you know what I mean. </p>
<p>For specific reasons, please see above.</p>
<p>Emotionally, mentally, and most likely spiritually, I am on hiatus. You see, history (predictably) repeted itself. Except it was only a severe case of like &#8211; not love &#8211; and the situation fixed itself. To repeat myself, I became a person I didn&#8217;t like, manipulating the people around me to get what I wanted.</p>
<p>In one word: skeeze-ball.</p>
<p>Kind sirs, this brain diarrhea is more than just an announcement; it&#8217;s a pledge: I will do my best to not use you (insert name here), to get in anyone&#8217;s pants. Especially that girl you like (sorry Rob), or the boy EVERYONE likes (sorry Katie).</p>
<p>If the meteorologist could plan my moods &#8211; wouldn&#8217;t that be awesome &#8211; I&#8217;m thinking (s)he would predict a lot of melancholy with sprinkles of angst. Luckily we&#8217;re out of emo season, but there would be plenty of chance for continued metaphor.</p>
<p>Tonight is St. Patrick&#8217;s Day. The start of The Boondock Saints, and the end of&#8230; An idea. THE idea, I should say. Of any person having control of me. And, I only have a little bit more time to complete my Lent sacrifice.</p>
<p>Damn coke boy &#8211; you ruined every thing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Because of what can best be described as life, I haven&#8217;t been able to write in a while.</p>
<p>Getting ready for school (I think it takes more time getting ready for it than you spend getting your degree), extra work hours, <em>decreased</em> work hours, extra responsibilities &#8211; the list goes on.</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m officially a pre-nursing major. I practicly work in the medical field anyway, so it&#8217;s not a huge jump. My course load:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Communications 100 (Pre-req for nursing major)<br />
English 102 (I tested out of 101. Woot)<br />
Humanities 100 (Silly pre-reqs)<br />
Math 25 (It&#8217;s been like &#8230; seven years since I&#8217;ve taken an algebra class. It goes away.)</p>
<p>That&#8217;s twelve credits. My initial plan was to jump in with, say, 16, but since I haven&#8217;t been in school for a while, this will ease me on in. So, I go to school for two hours, hour break, work for eight. I must be crazy. Two of the classes are online. That helps with having to work and everything.</p>
<p>Overall, I&#8217;m friggen excited. I have to finish my financial aid stuff- for the third time. But that&#8217;s it. And I start Jan. 20th.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m <em>really</em> tired, and don&#8217;t know what to write.</p>
<p>But I need to. Part of a goal I made to write once a day. Psh. I already screwed that up, but I&#8217;ll keep trying.</p>
<p>I found my Nalgene &#8211; the one I left at work on Monday. It took some hunting. I had to ask at least 3 people. Now I need to wash it. Who knows what kind of crazy person spit in it while I was away.</p>
<p>I need to clean my carpets. My landlord wants to do an inspection and I want to impress her. Clean carpets should do that.</p>
<p>I hate both MySpace and FaceBook, but FaceBook&#8217;s the bigger devil. So you can chat with me <a title="MySpace Page" href="http://www.myspace.com/_travy">here</a>. If you really want to, you can add me on <a title="Travis Wertz's FaceBook" href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=627715254">FaceBook</a> too, but&#8230; eew <img src='http://orangely.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>It&#8217;s about time that I watch <a title="Miss Congeniality @ IMDB" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212346/">Miss Congeniality</a> again. It&#8217;s in my list of chick-flicks that I like. I probably should keep this list secret, but who cares!? Legally Blonde, Sweet Home Alabama &#8211; pretty much anything with Reese Witherspoon. Only the first Miss Congeniality, because the second one is dumb. Mona Lisa Smile &#8211; because Julia Roberts is amazing. There&#8217;s probably more but I can&#8217;t think of them.</p>
<p>And I&#8217;m done. I can&#8217;t think anymore today. But, fear not, there is always tomorrow.</p>

</table>
<p>In the first photo, you&#8217;ll notice that my hair &#8220;swoops&#8221; and is almost feathered. That look took perfection &#8211; hair wax and magic fingers. Too bad I look like I had been up for the past eighty hours.</p>
<p>In the second, the pretty colors should stand out. As well as the length and big green eye. Important.</p>
<p>Exhibit three is the different one here. No product in the hair. All day on a plane. Taken from a hotel lobby in Hawaii. Warm.</p>
<p>The last photo is perhaps the most monsterly. Clocking in at approximately 45 minutes using multiple glue-like products (the waterproof kind!) and a flat iron, you get concert hair. Perfect for the all day super-sweaty events.</p>
<p>Post some pictures of your crazy hair. Come on&#8230; it&#8217;s fun. <img src='http://orangely.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a thing for bright white teeth.</p>
<div id="attachment_16" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://orangely.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/p081023001.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-16" title="Teeth Whitening" src="http://orangely.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/p081023001-300x225.jpg" alt="My Daily Routine" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">My Daily Routine</p></div>
<p>Well, it&#8217;s more than a thing. For myself, I <em><strong>must</strong></em> have clean, laser-white teeth. But since I&#8217;m too cheap to go to the dentist for the laser white brightness of doom, I use a lot of over the counter products.</p>
<ol>
<li>Twice a day, I use Listerine Pre-Brush Rinse (or the generic equivalent. I have both, they&#8217;re the same.)</li>
<li>Twice a day, Brush with Crest Healthy Radiance. <em>At least</em> two minutes. It&#8217;s more make-sure-every-tooth-is-clean then timed.</li>
<li>On Saturday, I use Crest Weekly Clean</li>
<li>Also of Saturday, I use Crest Healthy Radiance Weekly Tooth Whitening Strips.</li>
</ol>
<p>I <em>hate</em> the strips. They taste bad and make me talk funny &#8211; but they work so well. The Listerine isn&#8217;t so amazing, and likes to be foamy with peroxide. It does its job though. Ah, the pains I go through for vanity.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s totally weird though, is that other people&#8217;s teeth don&#8217;t affect me as much as my own. If it&#8217;s totally gnarly, I might take issue, but generally, I&#8217;m much more critical of myself than anyone else.</p>
