ashwink14: Five years and beyond

Spring break, bad news, and more South Park thoughts
4:00 p.m. on March 14, 2008

Hey folks! How are you all today? I am doing so-so. Literally.

There was a Bush quote on my calendar, so I still choose to do it. I think I might stop doing them for about a month or so. There's a few left this month, but I really don't care enough to actually do this for 2008's entirity. "[I'm] occasionally reading, I want you to know, in the second term." -- Washington, D.C., March 2005 If I see one of those that I actually give a crap about, I'll post it.

French. We actually watched a bit of the mid-part of The Pink Panther, like we did last semester. I might have to rent the fucking movie. Or find it online. ;) It is funnier in French though.

Lifespan. That test wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but I had a tough time studying. As long as I get a good grade, I'm happy.

NOW I HAVE SPRING BREAK! HELL TO THE YEAH!!!

I got some items from Ebay:

Yay! Each of those sheets of stickers has two more sheets after it. Sorry for the crappy picture quality.

I got some bad news yesterday. My aunt Leanne's beautiful and wonderful Australian Shephard, Walker has passed on. They had to put him to sleep because he was sick. When my Aunt Carolyn told me, I just dropped down onto the garage floor in tears. I ADORED Walker. There was no better dog. I still remember my first meeting of this dog. I was standing on the porch of our old house and I saw this dog come out of the truck and it was Walker. I loved this dog, he was the best fucking dog I have EVER had the honour to know.

So, today, I went through hundreds of old pictures to find pictures of him. I only had one or two on my Photobucket account and I wanted more to show. And I succeeded.

This is the last picture I have of Walker. From August 2007.

I can only assume by the pant leg and arm, that that disembodied arm and leg, and body is my mother. That was Walker as a young guy. He was beautiful.

Indeed, that is Codi when she was still a funny looking toddler. :p That picture just brings tears to my eyes.

The porch of our old house. The other dog is Sadie. They were soul mates. Poor Sadie, she lost her best friend.

I'm the one with the red, yellow, blue shirt. Kevin is the redshirted fellow, Whitney is the blond, and the little boy in blue I believe is a kid named Shawn I knew for many years. He was the grandson of my old neighbors back about 8 years ago. I haven't seen him in that many years.

Walker, you were a wonderful dog. You loved your family, your friends, your fellow dog-mates. No one will ever come close. Walker, thank you. Your doggy friendship for everyone in my family was a gift that I shall treasure every day of my life. I love you, you amazing dog and will miss you.

I'm glad this is typed because I'm basically sobbing.

I got an email from the school today that I've been offered a Stafford Subsidized Loan for the Summer Terms for about $4,000. It would cover the summer terms of 2008, because I NEED to take summer classes. I have a Natural Science course, a Philosophy course, and two more Mathematics courses left that I need to take before my Major courses. I want to be working on my major stuff starting Fall 2008, not later. I want to graduate 2010! Not later! I need to talk to my aunt about this. My mom hasn't given her opinion, I haven't accepted or declined (have two weeks). I hope I can get a grant for that, but I don't know how that is done. I mean, I'll take a loan if I absolutely need to. I just don't know what to do. Jeez. Ridiculous.

Yesterday, I watched a season 5 episode of The Golden Girls called 72 Hours. Which is about Rose having to take a test to find out if she was infected with HIV from a blood transfusion that she had 6 years before the episode aired when she got her gallbladder removed. Kind of like Cartman's issue in Tonsil Trouble. Same issue, only 18 years later. Ironically, as well, on Wednesday, they were offering HIV testing on campus. Results in 20 minutes. 18 years ago, it took 3 days, now it takes 20 minutes. And the Cartman's doctors knew immediately. Bastards. I felt bad for him... until he went to the next level.

I realize what the promos meant: "Nothing will ever be the same." Remember when Cartman fed Scott's parents to him in season 5? That changed a lot, nothing was the same after that. He constantly whispered to people, "I'll make you eat your parents." Well, Cartman infecting Kyle with HIV tops that. Now what is Cartman going to say? "I'm gonna give you HIV?" Well, he can't-- they cured it. Irregardless, even if it's a tiny thing, they changed the show. Of course, Cartman is still incredibly evil. I knew that. I'm okay with it. He's a cartoon.

You know my mom said the same thing when I told her I cried, "It's just a cartoon." DO YOU EVEN KNOW ME?! I get attached to fictional characters. And I should have quoted Kyle on her ass too... and I shall right here:

"It's all real. Think about it. Haven't Luke Skywalker and Santa Claus affected your lives more than most real people in this room? I mean, whether Jesus is real or not, he's had a bigger impact on the world than any of us have. And the same can be said for Bugs Bunny and Superman and Harry Potter. They've changed my life, changed the way I act on the earth. Doesn't that make them kind of real? They might be imaginary, but they're more important than most of us here. And they're all gonna be around till long after we're dead. So in a way, those things are more realer than any of us."

I wonder how the Cartman and Kyle relationship will be now... I mean, DAMN. Maybe it'll be the same, since everything is all happy now? But, I doubt it. It'll be the same hatred as before. I did love the jokes about Kyle and Cartman being homosexual lovers. Though, AIDS is not a gay person's disease, JERRY FUCKING FALWELL. As Blanche said in 72 hours, "It is not God punishing people for their sins." Anybody who has the audacity to think that should burn in whatever their hell is.

I personally loved the lovers jokes because we all know my Cartman/Kyle stance since the Imaginationland trilogy. :) At least they can now consider it. But seriously, that Doctor was stupid to think that KYLE, a nine year old little boy, probably pre-puberty would be having sex at all. I don't care if he does know how to put a condom on (Season 5, Proper Condom Use).

Tomorrow ABL is going to write her French Revolution paper and write some stuff about Kim Possible, Golden Girls, and South Park and comparisons. STAY TUNED!
