Art Institute of Portland stuff.

I e-mailed Melissa early this morning (around 12:00 AM) asking about one-letter words in the essay. She told me that it's fine, and not to worry about adding more words. She also let me know that she will be moving back to the east coast - Maryland - soon, and forwarded my e-mail to a colleague of hers.

I just got off the phone with Elizabeth, another Assistant Director of Admissions, and she told me, "You sound so cute and excited about attending!" God, I am. Excited, that is. It was crazy, too, because I'd just finished telling Mom and Dad that Melissa was moving, and bam, the phone rang and it was Elizabeth.

Elizabeth told me about the online application, so I started filling it out. The scanned drawings will probably look a bit better than copied drawings sent by snail mail, so it sounds like a good idea.

I am very, very close to being ready to send everything in. The nice thing about the online application is that you can finish it over several sessions.

DO IT! FINISH IT! RAH RAH RAH! :D

Ich habe keine Unruhe.

MmmmmmmmX-Files. "Unruhe" (German for unrest) is a great episode. Guest-stars Pruitt Taylor Vince, who also guest-starred in House as the 600-pound patient, George.

I think I've said every X-Files episode is great.... For a couple, "Red Museum" and "Fresh Bones" are very confusing, but I like the black cat in the latter.

I want to learn how to speak German someday. And Norwegian. Languages from my heritage.

Whenever Cammy hears anything about Germans, he immediately mentions Nazis.

...Grandma Ruthie's maiden name is Steinmetz.

So we're Nazis, too. :| He's such a dork. I say a random phrase in German, he calls me a Nazi. (I've remembered a few German phrases from TV shows... and the Felidae trailer.)

AND he's going to turn seventeen on Saturday. Hooooly shoot.

I bought a birthday card for him while we were visiting Grandma Ruthie, Grandma Jo, and Grandpa Jeff at Christmas. It's kind of mean, but funny.

As for tonight's House.... Sex is silly.

And last night's episode of The Riches? - oh, God. Even sillier.

"Wayne! *Minnie Driver's butt hits the car horn* Oh, shit, Wayne! *beep* Shit! *beep* ..."

Yeah. At least Wayne and Dahlia are married.
