Hospital Madness

So I'm sitting in the hospital right now, just hanging out. My mom had a total hip replacement and has to stay here until Monday. J and Meg (mom's 3rd and 4th children, as she calls them) both came to visit yesterday so it was pretty good. Her surgery went well and she'll hopefully be up and around quickly.

I know I have a quick temper but MAN.. I've been getting pretty angry. I hate it when people are contrarians and boy am I around one at the moment. I'm trying to just stay calm and breathe through the anger... here's hoping it gets better. People are pretty lame. I don't think there should be a 16 yr age limit on women's gymnastics. Everyone's just finding of reasons to hate China and it's really lame. We would've never seen Nadia Comaneci's Perfect 10 if this rule was in place in '76. SO! GET OVER IT. Argentina's advancing to the quarter-finals against Brazil. AHH! I'm scared but glad we beat the Netherlands... go, babies! Oh, and getting back to the person that's pissing me off for one last moment; it's not okay to say that the Sichuan earthquake was good because "now there's less people where the pandas are". Fucking A, REALLY? Some people, man... some people.

...here's some Nadia!!

yay for weekends

This past weekend was pretty great. I've been working really hard to try and get the bathroom looking amazing (more on that one it's finished up) and was ready for a break by the end of the week. I went to J's on Friday night to watch the 奥运会 opening ceremony which was awwwwwwwesome! I love how they set it up and the 山水 painting they did was super cool. The worst part? THE ANNOUNCERS! J and I were barfing non-stop at Lauer and Costas because they're were unbelievably dumb. "DUR DUR DUR! They're doing karate! I'll bet the people at home don't get the symbolism! These drummers look intimidating!" ugh.
So the niftiness continued because 2 of J's nephews, Kyler and Cole, were getting baptized on Sunday! I went to Edmond on Saturday morning to go look for wedding dresses with Jamie but unfortunately didn't get to go because J and I needed to head out right when she got finished moving in. :[!!! I know she'll look fabulous in whatever she gets so I'm determined to go with her next time and be her own personal cheer section.
We got to Tulsa and relaxed a bit while Sharon stuffed us with some yummy shish kebab. On Sunday, we got all snazzied up and went to the baptism and then went to J's sister's house. I watched Argentina beat Australia (YESSSS!!!) and played with Kelsey's super cute new dog, Jazzy.

ahhhh!!! She was so cute and friendly. LOVED her. Then J broke Cole's neck for being a bad boy ;]

kekekeke... what cuties. So that was basically the weekend. Sharon made nummy cookies and then J and I headed back.. poor lil one was mega tired from his hard new schedule. I hope he settles into it soon and has more time to rest. I went to my parents house and there was a tiny surprise... my parents got a new tv! A Sony Bravia flat panel! After Big Brother (Michelle-you're an idiot... go Dan and Memphis!) I helped my dad set it up and we watched Phelps & co kick the Frenchies' ass!!! It was so awesome to see Lezak race himself to the finish and pull ahead right at the end to beat them after they said they would "smash the Americans". BLAT!

"YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Where the hell is Elliestan?

..What?
So, Elliestan is a combination of my first and last name and is now the principality in which this blog is set. The flag is a combo of the Argentine, US and Chinese flags, and the nation itself is nestled in a pocket of the Hyrule region that once was Tibet and Yunnan province. It is a tiny, pleasant nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-working, intelligent population enjoys a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct (Thanks, NationStates).

...Who?
(Mhmm. This is ridiculous but don't worry.) Elliestan's leader is always sneaking into residents' homes to rearrange their furniture and leave them cupcakes. It's a bit off-putting at first, but they've gotten used to it. She is often scrambling around awkwardly, polyvore-ing, painting and look at mid-century modern houses in her free time. She enjoys sushi, coffee, fluffy wall-eyed kitties with stick tails and giving the things around her new life; which is what makes Elliestan such a prosperous country. Surrounding nations are too confused and preoccupied to bother Elliestan, so the nation's power grows, undisturbed, from the inside.

...????
okay, i'm quite done now. :] i'm in a silly mood. basically i found this site earlier today, NationStates, and think it's hilarious. i'll let you know of updates to our dear Elliestan.

Wee hoo, another new blog..

okay! new blog time. :] It seems that whenever I'm going through a change in life I start a new blog, so I guess it was only a matter of time that I retire xanga. That was definitely more of a high school/beginning of college one, and there's too much that's dead associated with it.

SO!

I hope that this blog will be a bit more mature but still silly... basically so that when I read these posts years from now I wont be embarrassed!


Oh herro, this is my new blog! Since it seems I've started a new point in my life, I figured I might as well try and chronicle it. e-mail My OU site Facebook My ol' China blog Blogger Sylvia's Blog!
