Yes, again, another complaint... I know, it's all I do is complain in notes. Because when I'm happy, words don't flow as well, and I'm just content on being happy. But when I'm upset about something, for some reason, it's easier to write. Which, right now is a good things since I have a 1 page paper that I have to write tonight that I am fretting too much about.
I was going to go to bed. Then I started crying and couldn't stop. I was crying like a baby, a child. One of those cries that are just out of disappointment, without anger, without a sensible reason. Balling.
When I tell you why you're going to laugh, because, in the end, it is kinda funny.
See, I think I'm horrible with gift giving, especially with guys. I enjoy watching people open gifts with that "WOW" factor in their eyes. I like giving gifts that I know people actually like and will use. But I'm a girl, and my perspective does not help me find appropriate guy gifts.
So, I have been thinking about this one for quite sometime. Shaina gave me the idea really. And Dan said that he wanted a new Michigan hat before he left for Utah... but he didn't end up getting one beforehand. So, there I had it. I would send him a hat. I knew he would love it.
I even personalized it- put some stickers on it that said "I love you, GO BLUE!" It was perfect; it was simple and he could take them off.
So today (technically yesterday...) I spent half as much on sending it out to him as I did to purchase the darn thing. Money that I really don't have.
This evening I was looking through his pictures of a recent trip that he took this week. Then I realized what was upon his head... Yup, you guessed it... a Michigan hat.
I'm just über disappointed about it. I can't believe it! I finally feel like I did something awesome, and he is totally not going to be "WOW"ed.
So that's when the balling started. I'm not going to hear the "WOW"ness because there isn't going to be any "WOW"ness...
But, I have to look at the bright side, I'm going to get a hat out of the deal, without having to buy one for myself!

Hey,
Send Daniel the hat. He loves anything you do for him and he would love that. :-) I think the hat he was wearing was one that my Dad had bought and passed down for the time being. I am sure yours would be more enjoyable to wear and he would wear it with pride. Cheer up. :-)

Well, you're wrong about one thing. There was a WOW-factor to me opening up my present. One because of the box it was in and two because of the stickers and three because it was from you and four because it was from Ann Arbor. Mine I just got out here in Utah, nothing real big about it. But you personalized this hat and made it something significantly special and I love it so much more than the one I got for myself. Plus it's from the Steve and Barry's in Ann Arbor, why wouldn't I keep it. I love it, Corey, and I am keeping it.

PICTURES!!!
Now I love to take pictures, and I love to share said pictures.
But I don't like how people complain that I take too many or I take them too slow.
Then all my pictures are all over the internet on everyone's profiles and things like that.
And I get NO credit.
I'm not mad; I'm just annoyed, that's all.
So I've decided that before I put any more pictures up, or make anymore CDs of pictures for people, I'm going to put a watermark of some sort on them.
The only problem is I must figure out how to do so.
If anyone knows, please let me know!
Thanks.

Now, I have "watermarks" on my picture but I just simple edit text onto the picture on the bottom or somewhere... but they are more complicated ways.. I suppose it all just depends on what you want your watermark to be... mmm k? Let me know if you have any questions!

Vending Machines have screwed me again.
Hi! My name is Corey Anne Burbank.
(You: Hi, Corey)
I have to admit that I have been having problems with vending machines for quite some time. (**tear, tear**) Since beginning college, I have had this painful addiction to sweets, and vending machines have been the needle, sort-to-speak, the method to deliver the fix. Now lately, I have been working on correcting this habit, but it hasn't been easy, and it hasn't been pretty.
Now, vending machines have been very detrimental and have screwed me before. One common example is when they take my money, without giving me anything in return. Like, when the candy bar is on the verge of falling down, but gravity is slow to work it's magic. And I'm already late for class. There's been plenty of times that this addiction has caused me to miss my intended bus. One time, I was so tired, that I incorrectly typed in the code, and I got chocolate covered raisins! Gross! I've even been cheated out of getting anything because I typed in code for a slot that was empty.
But never have I been this screwed over thanks to a vending machine. I went into Mason Hall in order to get something to drink out of the vending machine (it's okay, I was not going to get any sweets), but the vending machine had to say "Cash Only" and because I don't carry cash on me and only had my MCard, I had to go somewhere where I could get some refreshing liquid. The Union is not far from Mason, so I decided to trod over across the street. I didn't feel like getting my bike unlocked, so I just hiked over there, it was only supposed to be a quick endeavor. It was sprinkling when I went into the Union. I preceded to go to Subway, got a delicious Dasini Strawberry water (YUM!), which at most, could have taken 1 minute and then.....
IT WAS RAINING CATS AND DOGS OUTSIDE!!!
Not only was it already raining cats and dogs, it preceded to rain faster... And I don't own an umbrella. And so now I'm sitting soaking wet and freezing cold in the Fishbowl.
I blame the vending machine for not accepting all types of monetary payments.
