I feel so hopeful. I know it's kind of ridiculous to put so much in the shoulders of one man, but I think Obama really will do a great job. It feels like it'll be hard for anyone to be racist anymore when the leader of the country is a minority.
And Obama didn't just win. He DOMINATED! States that have voted Republican for decades actually voted for him. When people on two sides of a fence can agree, you know that change is in the air.
Everyone remembers where they were during the earthquake, the riots, September 11th, and now they can tell their grandchildren they saw the first black President get elected. Some of them can even say they voted for him! Either way, it is definitely a huge, HUGE thing and I am SO proud to be an American right now.
Unfortunately, it looks like Prop. 8 DID pass and gay marriage is constitutionally banned. I find that so sad. What about all of the people who are already married? Are their marriages invalid? I feel like this is the first step to a totalitarian society, like the ones in the movies set in the future, where we have to have sex with virtual reality helmets and get permission to reproduce. Can't Arnold just overturn it or something? Ugh!
Luckily, we still have our First Amendment Rights and they are being exercised as we speak. There are protest going on around the whole city. In Westwood, the UCLA Center, right by my new job, they actually held a sit-in in the middle of the street. They blocked off two major streets, and a direct route to the freeway, largely due to the fact that there is a federal building and a Mormon Temple right down the street. I hope they are able to protest peacefully, and make their point clear. We cannot decide people's rights by majority vote. If my 15-year-old sister can understand that, why can't everyone else.
So, as we take one huge step forward, we take a tiny step back. I guess I just have to have some hope and faith in humanity and pray that the people who fight for what is right are victorious. And that they keep going until they are...

Barack Obama is the FIRST black President of the United States.
I am SO HAPPY!!!!! I can't stop crying. This is now a part of your, my, our history. I will never forget it.
Now, all I need is for Prop. 8 NOT to pass and all will be right with the world...

Hello friends...
That kinda makes me sound like a Playboy Bunny. Or a cow.
I haven't been feeling well the last couple of days. The winds have kicked up and the seasons are changing, which is never a good time of year for me. And it sucks because I *love* Fall. But my sinuses do not. But I'm getting acclimated, so hopefully I'll be back to myself by the weekend. OR sooner, because I need to get on the ball at work. I have some big projects brewing and I'm really trying to prove my worth. I like this job. I think it could last a while. So I really want them to see what I'm made of. I mean, I'm doing well, but I like to do REALLY well, ya know?!
I don't know if anyone else is a Queer as Folk fan (or more recently Desperate Housewives), but Gale Harold got into a MAJOR motorcycle accident and is said to be in Intensive Care. So, say some prayers for his recovery.
And speaking of prayers, I perused my friends page and I noticed that spikegood could use some prayers. I just wanted to tell you that I am here if you need to talk and I hope the rough times abate soon. My icon for today is for you!
Well there you have it! I resolved to keep up my LJ better and I posted. I wish I had something more interesting to say...But I don't! Toodles.

Hello friends.
Some of you remembered that I turned 29 a few days ago. So, I had to stop by and thank you.
Grimma and Dogmeat and GothicWoman all sent me little messages. Thank you!
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Mags as well. I hope it was great.
As usual, a lot is going on. I got a new job, which I kind of love so far. I lost a best friend. And I gained some new neighbor friends that I adore.
I had a great birthday, complete with my entire family, the few good friends I have left, a trip to the museum, a lovely dinner, a great brunch and general wonderfulness.
And, I have also decided to start writing a novel. Don't ask.
The pooch is good, the fish is good, and I am on my way to good.
That is all. Sorry for the drive-by, but Grey's Anatomy is on!
10/4/06 06:26 pm
So, yep, it's my birthday. It'a Mags birthday too. Happy Birthday Mags!!
Thank you for all the e-mails and messages. I really miss you guys. I gotta get a computer at home.
Fear not, I am still keeping close tabs on Prison Break and the many pragmatic questions it brings up, like, how come Lincoln keeps changing and Michael has on the same suit??
Anyhoo, I gotta go. My roomie and friends are throwing me a surprise party they think I don't know about. Only they were dumb enough to tell me everyone was busy tonight, but to "stay in my work clothes" so we could "maybe get something to eat". Silly rabbits...
Love you all. Hopefully talk to you more soon.

Everyone have a great holiday weekend. I am outta here!!

Just in case you ever got the two mixed up, this should make things a bit clearer.
IN PRISON.. you spend the majority of your time in an 8x10 cell.
AT WORK...you spend the majority of your time in a 6x8 cubicle.
IN PRISON... you get three meals a day.
AT WORK... you only get a break for one meal and you pay for it.
IN PRISON... you get time off for good behavior.
AT WORK... you get more work for good behavior.
IN PRISON... the guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.
AT WORK...you must carry around a security card and open all the doors for yourself.
IN PRISON... you can watch TV and play games.
AT WORK... you get fired for watching TV and playing games.
IN PRISON... you get your own toilet.
AT WORK... you have to share with some idiot who pees on the seat.
IN PRISON... they allow your family and friends to visit.
AT WORK.. you can't even speak to your family.
IN PRISON... the taxpayers pay all expenses with no work required.
AT WORK... you pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners.
IN PRISON... you spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out.
AT WORK... you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars.
IN PRISON... you must deal with sadistic wardens.
AT WORK... they are called managers.
Have a Great Day at WORK!
I KNEW there was a reason I liked Prison Break!

I got bad news this morning. I went to the doctor to refill a perscription and they took my blood pressure. And it is high. Really high. Cause for concern high. Oh, and I weigh about 40 pounds over my ideal weight. I am completely and utterly disgusted with myself.
Now I feel like my heart is about to burst out of my chest. That really scared me. So, I'll be eating better, exercising and quitting smoking. I may even take an asprin or two a week to thin my blood. I really don't need any more wrong with me than the chronic problems I already have. So, it is time to take care of me. I called Dee as soon as I left, because I know she'll whip my ass into shape and make sure I follow any regimens outlined for me. I HAVE to do this. I can't live like this anymore. Starting tomorrow, I join a gym. Starting tonight, I purge my house of some crap I've been holding on to for no damn reason...
My parents sent me a beautiful belated birthday present. I had this koala bear my grandmother brought me from Mississippi when I was really little (maybe around 1ish) that I named Huggie. I carried him EVERYWHERE. To make a long story short, he got washed and ruined when I was about 5 or 6. So, I get a teddy bear, and I'm thinking, Aw, that's cute. Then I read the letter. It said that they had run into an old friend of mine and paid for his way to visit me. Then I looked closer and found that the bear was wearing a necklace that said "Huggie". It was the sweetest thing I have ever gotten. I nearly cried. There was some other jewelry and a few shirts, but that meant SO much to me. I was so touched. Only your parents can remember somethign like that. And my mom put in a few pictures of me lugging him around. *iz smiling*
My cousin in Fresno, a Katrina evacuee wrote a really beautiful editorial about New Orleans in the local paper. She sent me a copy, along with some pictures of my cousins, my birthday, and when my parents visited her before the storm washed it away. I can't find it online, but I did find a picture of her dad and brother looking at their demolished house. *iz sad* http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/world/photo/2005/09/20/2005042276
Horoscope says: A steadfast sense of self-discipline will be easy for you to conjure from the moment you wake up. If you've got something difficult to do, and you've been putting it off, now is the time to tackle it.
Good. I need some motivation to delay gratification long enough to accomplish a goal. I have been way too easy on myself. I always let things go and figure they'll just get better on their own. Well, obviously, that didn't work, so it's time to take a different route and stop being such a hedonist. I don't need everything all the time. I have to live a better life.
Word of the Day: redivivus \red-uh-VY-vuhs; -VEE-\, adjective: Living again; brought back to life; revived; restored.
And that's exactly what I need to do. Bring myself back to life.
I'm going home to purge. Not barf, mind you, just clean up! Have a good weekend...
11/21/05 06:18 pm
So, my weekend was friggin' B-O-R-I-N-G. I had all these plans and ended up doing nothing. I painted my nails. And straightened my hair. Isn't that exciting?!
Obligatory "I Hate Work" rant: I hate work, blah, blah, blah!!
It's MONDAY!!! I think you all know why I'm so. fucking. happy.
( Grey's Anatomy )
*heh!* Tonight is PRISON BREAK!!!! And then, Wentworth will be on Leno. And I will be on Cloud Nine... I love him...
Rick and I have been having this really innuendo filled conversation via IM today. It has bordered on IM sex quite a few times. But it never QUITE seems to go there. Right to the edge and then... And he asked me to go see RENT on Wednesday. I am freaking out. My friends have bets going on whether or not I will chicken out. I think he's leaving for Detriot (where he is from) on Thursday for Thanksgiving, so maybe he wanted to spend his last day here with me. Or, he just really wants to see RENT...

Horoscope says: The friends you've made recently haven't really been the type you want to bring home -- but that doesn't mean you shouldn't prepare to make at least one more. Relax, though, they'll be quite interesting.
Is this because I've been hanging out with Tisha lately?? Gosh! It's not my fault she keeps calling me her "sanity" and says I'm her only true friend. I'm just trying to put out some good karma!
Word of the Day: kobold \KOH-bold\, noun: In German folklore, a haunting spirit, gnome, or goblin.
Okay, I HAVE to go. Prison Break... *squee!*
11/14/05 05:49 pm
I have been on hold for the last hour and fifteen minutes with the IRS trying to order a demand for a tax lien. This is ridiculous.
My weekend was BORING! Friday night I had plans to go to Happy Hour at Miyagi's with Laryssa, but she double-booked herself (again!) and canceled on me. Then she calls and tells me she's going to a party that starts at 11pm! By then, I was in my pajamas and all comfy in my bed. I was NOT getting up. So, that was Friday.
Saturday, I went to breakfast with Laryssa at our favorite place, The Griddle, where the waiters are SO HOT you don't even care that it takes them an hour to bring you your food. We saw the son from the movie "A History of Violence", which we had JUST seen on the theater the previous weekend, And turns out, someone we know knows him, so now she's all in love (scratch that, in lust) and thinking they are going to meet soon. Good luck with that!!
Then, I just hung out in the house with the radio on and some magazines. I half assed cleaned up and did some laundry by hand. Then Jeanette called and asked me if I wanted to join her and her (boring ass loser) boyfriend for Happy Hour at Miyagi's. (Yes, I love to go to Happy Hour at Miyagi's. Sushi AND drinks are all two for one!) But, she ended up backing out on me too and I was already all dressed, so I did the unthinkable. I called Tisha. She seemed to be in a rather good mood, so I thought, "Well, Laryssa hasn't called me back, so I'll go out with Tisha". Stupid, stupid, stupid!! I mean, we didn't get into a fight this time, but I was rather annoyed throughout the course of the night. See, Tisha's married. And we were supposed to go to an after-party for the BET awards, which had filmed that day. But it was a madhouse and we didn't make the cutoff time because she forgot her shoes and we had to go ALL the way back to her house in Inglewood to get them. By now, Laryssa has called me back and said she was going to the W and we could meet her there. So, naturally, I made that an immediate Plan B. But what does Tisha want to do?? She wants to go to the gay bar across the street. Again! Now don't get me wrong, the Abbey is fun and I can never get enough of the adorable little gay boys telling me how fierce I am. But as far as hooking-up opportunities... Well, there aren't any. Unless I'm moonlighting as a drag queen. But, I find out she has an ulterior motive. She is after the bartender she was after the other night. And this time, she sluts it out and is ALL OVER HIM THE WHOLE TIME. Not so much fun for me. We did leave and go next door to a straight club, but we were only there for about an hour before it closed down. And then we went BACK to the Abbey so she could see what time he got off. The highlight was probably that although she completely threw herself at him, he didn't call. She waited at my house until 3am and he never called. Minus one point for the slutty girls!!
Sunday, I just did laundry and ran a few errands. I needed some Me Time.
I talked to Allison, my little Peanut, last night and she seems to be doing well. At that point in my breakup, I could barely form sentences. But she is a tough chica and I know she will get through this unscathed. Plus, we have too much fun to be had when the GLAAD awards come around again, so I'm not having any moping when she's supposed to be helping me throw things at people and cause trouble in general!
Tonight is PRISON BREAK!!! Two whole hours of the foxy goodness that is Wentworth Miller. (I love him...) Oh, yeah, and there's a storyline too. Something about breaking out of prison. Like I care. He could stare back at me for an hour and I would still be the happiest girl on the planet!
Grey's Anatomy - So. Much. Love. I love this show. It is the best thing on tv. (Besides Prison Break! Duh!!) Seriously. It is SO well written and SO enjoyable. They make those moments we wait for seem so worth it. I can't wait until next week!

Oh, I have to tell you a funny story. I was talking to Laryssa on Sunday and I go, in this sing-song voice, "Guess what I got!!" And she goes, "The new TV Guide with your boyfriend on the cover?!" Am I THAT predictable?? Okay, I swear, I am going to hang up at 6 o'clock. That will be almost 2 hours of holding! Maybe I'll try again first thing in the morning. I gotta go home and prep the VCR!! ETA: They answered!! And I am screwed. *squee* Bye!!

I am in my happy place today. Unfortunately, when I go there, I tend to shut off the rest of the world. But I don't feel to great, the weather sucks, and I am PMSing without the actual excuse of PMS.
Some guy just called here requesting me to fax over something I already faxed. When I told him I wasn't going to do it right away (because it annoys the flippin' hell out of me when people ask for stuff I already gave them) he called back and said "fuck you" and hung up. And I totally know it was him because he had a really heavy accent. Now, the really funny thing is, I'm SO not going to fax it!!! It's probably not a great idea to curse at a person you need something from, doncha think?!
I just totally had a panic attack over some "woman problems". I am so incredibly grateful to have friends that I can talk to about anything. After my initial freak-out, I called my friend and she figured out what was wrong in like 2 minutes. *whew!* Thank God! I was about to pass out from psychosomatic symptoms.
Rachel emailed me this long, stupid, crybaby email about how mean I am to her and how she always feels belittled and stupid around me. And I don't know what to do about it. I have SO many comments, I can't even put them all into words. She didn't even apologize, as usual, for what she did, she just apologized because I'm mad. That is not the problem. I get mad all the time. I am human. Yet, it doesn't do either of us any good if she just keeps on doing inane, idiotic things to piss me off!
And Horoscope says: You're truly tired of accepting others' lame excuses and listening politely while they natter on about themselves. Finally, you've realized that your time is far too valuable to spend making nice, even if it means you need to be alone for a while.
Sounds like I need to quit letting her project all of her crap on me and just LET IT GO! All she does is make me the bad guy and turn it into a pity-party-for-one and I am SO tired of it. But she's family, so I am going to HAVE to talk to her sooner or later. But for now, I think I'm just gonna drop it and cross that bridge when it falls on me.
So, I watched Kitchen Confidential last night. I liked it. I'm thinking it's just going to get better, since this was the "introduce the characters" episode. I'm pretty sure I'll watch it more. I also watched Arrested Development (hilarious!) and the season premiere of Medium. I love that show. I think Patricia Arquette is BRILLIANT! She SO deserved that Emmy.
I have seen the previews for Serenity and the posters everywhere. Do you guys recommend I see the movie first or watch the whole season?? I only saw a few episodes, so I can do it the right way, ya know?!
Bones tonight and NEW LOST TOMORROW!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! (Think I'm excited?!)
Does anyone else love Wentworth Miller? No? Just me? Okay...

God! It is HOT. I usually sleep with covers on, regardless of the temperature (I think it's a womb thing), but it was so hot last night, I slept on top of the blankets, with the comforter thrown to the side. So, I'm dreaming that my leg is on fire, and I wake up and it was under the covers! One leg under a comforter and my subconscious warns me by making me think I'm on fire. That's hot.
My stomach has been hurting a lot lately. Really hurting, like it's trying to escape. It's probably my Irritable Bowel Syndrome coming back. Fun.
Dee came to my house after her class yesterday. We sat around and chatted. I love that she makes an effort to see me at least once a week. Oh, and guess what?! That purse I bought the other day; She has the EXACT SAME ONE, just in a different color. Great minds think alike!
_alantie is such a dork. She just called me with some very important Queer As Folk news. Only she would call me with QAF news!! I love it.
Okay, someone just asked me if I was pregnant. I am officially offended. And never eating again... Well, it could also be because I'm so cranky all the time and they think it's hormones. Maybe I will pretend to be pregnant. And tell them to throw me a baby shower and donate money! Why would you ask someone that anyway? Unless they're wearing a t-shirt that says "New Mommy" or buying nipples, you should NEVER ask someone that. Because if you're wrong, it's just offensive.

I hate my job. I hate everyone here. They keep pretending like they understand how busy I am and how long it will take me to get this place in any kind of decent order, but they still KEEP CALLING HERE 30 TIMES A DAY!!!! It's driving me crazy. And they all go, "I really need your help. Could you do this now? *insert company here* needs it and they're calling me." Well, join the friggin club. EVERYONE wants their stuff right away. It's ALWAYS an emergency. I can only do so many things at a time, with two hands and 8 hours. So, they get mad and call other people, who also call me. Have I mentioned it's pretty hard to get anything done when the phone won't stop ringing? I am so stressed out. Regina was here today to help me and she'll be back tomorrow. I need her here, both to help me and to keep me from being cranky all day.
I feel like crap today. My ankle is still swollen, despite soaking it in really hot water last night. But I'm thinking it could be the heat that's causing the swelling, so that might have been counter-productive. It could also be salt, not drinking enough water, or water retention. Or maybe I really did hurt it. I don't know, but I'm kind of worried. I've had BOTH ankles swell from being on my feet all day, but never just one. And never for this long. I may have to see the doctor if this persists.
So, I am out of here at 6. Period, end of story. I am looking forward to uninterrupted chill time, with Veronica Mars and LOST reruns on tonight. Maybe I'll be more prepared tomorrow.
Horoscope says: If you've got the feeling that someone isn't being completely truthful with you, there are two things to do. Listen to your instincts. And don't tell them anything that you don't mind the entire world knowing about. Well, duh! I never tell anyone anything I don't want them to know. I learned that lesson a long time ago.
Word of the Day malfeasance \mal-FEE-zuhn(t)s\, noun: Wrongdoing, misconduct, or misbehavior, especially by a public official.
Seems appropriate. I am experiencing professional malfeasance right now. At it's finest. I was also waiting for a check from the other place I was temping. I told them I'd have it picked up. And what do they take from that? Please mail it, so it takes twice as long for me to get it.

I thought for some reason that something was wrong with me because I've been so tired this last week. Granted, I had a week and a half off of work, but I was getting up at normal times. I have surmised that it is this job and the distance I have to travel to get here. It's also in the valley, which means it's 15 degrees hotter here than it is by my house. I should feel fine, since I knocked out at around 8 yesterday, but I'm still tired. And my allergies are on turbo charge. I am so glad it's Friday. I am a little aggravated, but I am not going to complain, because it is a job and it pays. 'Nuff said.
But I am irritated because I was feeling so good. And it's shot to hell right now. Bring on the 3-day weekend. I need some rest! At least we get off at 3 today.
Anyhoo, have a great weekend. Enjoy a good, hearty Memorial Day BBQ.
See ya next week.

Oh. My. God!!
Ted Casablance from E!Online actually e-mailed me back. I think I might faint... This is better than the e-mail I got from the FBI. That definitely deserves a good, hearty, Monday morning *SQUEEEE!!!*
By the way, _alantie, I e-mailed him about what my friend told me while you were here. He said he thinks it's not true either. And he would know. Do you think it's time we told the rest of the class??
Oh, I told him I saw him at the GLAAD Awards. He said next time "come and say hi"!! *Guh!* ::faints::
Great icon of Michelle. She was really so cute. Hopefully, we see her again next year.
Oh, and more GLAAD Awards stuff from Kristen at E!Online: http://www.eonline.com/Gossip/Kristin/Archive2005/050506c.html
My theory on Desperate Housewives is SO RIGHT!! (Remember _alantie??) It's sort of spoilerish, so if you want to know what it is, I'll tell you personally.
( Desperate Housewives )
( Grey's Anatomy )
I was all alone and feeling abandoned this weekend. No one called me all weekend, until my Little Grasshopper called to say hi Sunday evening. That gave me a little happy.
I spent all day Saturday cleaning. Super cleaning. I got down on my hands and knees and cleaned the floor and cleaned the mini-blinds ONE BY ONE! But it looks spectaculer. And smells good.
Then, Sunday, I went to my uncle's house to celebrate Mother's Day with my aunts and grandmother. It was nice, but I was in a hurry to leave. I wanted to watch my shows and still haven't figured out why the timer thing on the dvd/vcr player won't work. I tried again today, so I'll see if it works. My schedule will free up a lot if I can record certain things!
I hate our temp. She's mean. I miss the old temp. And we get a new receptionist today. She better not be mean too.
Okay. It's pouring rain outside and I have a lunch date. I think we're gonna beat the all-time record for rainfall. Cool...
Later.

I am so tired today. I am tired period. So tired, in fact, that I nodded off during ALIAS, which is tantamount to treason for me. I nodded off just as...well, I'll have to cut it, so I'll explain later. And I thought I had figured out my fancy new dvd and vhs player, but it turn out that I hadn't. so it didn't record anything. That pissed me off a little. I better have it figured out before the LOST Special on Friday. I don't know if they'll include that with the dvd's, so I'd like to have it on tape.
( LOST )
( ALIAS )
So, can anyone fill me in on what I missed??
The rental car goes back today. I'm going to miss it. Plus, the weather is getting crappier, coincidentally right as I need to start taking the bus again. Well, at least I only have to tough it for a day until I can rest on the weekend. I won't miss paying for gas and circling my street 20 times to find a parking space. And I'm so nervous about the damage to the car. I really hope they weren't lying when they said I could bring it back any way and nothing would happen.
I'm not going to go on my daily "I hate my Boss" rant. I think you've heard it all. But it is really starting to wear me down. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up. I am trying SO hard to be as polite as possible, but she makes it so hard to even be civil. I have headaches when I go home from gritting my teeth so I don't talk back or say something really mean. There was a time when I would have quit or started acting like a total cow all the time, but I am trying to curb those urges and be a better person. So, it continues. I hope I earn some damn good karma for this. ETA: Ding dong, the witch is gone! She'll be out of the office for half of the day. Somebody up there does love me!
Don't forget Sunday is Mother's Day! I gotta send my mom and grandma their cards today.
Later.

*Super SQUEE!!!* It's WEDNESDAY!!! Oh. My. God. New LOST! NEW LOST!! I can't even process this right now. Is it 8:00 yet?!
I don't usually watch Veronica Mars, but I did last night. I actually see why it's all the rage. Only now I'm sorry that I haven't been keeping up because I was *squeeing* and I had no clue what was going on! So, if I had the past references, ect., I would have probably had a heart attack. I will definitely be watching next week.
Ugh! My wrist is killing me. It hurts so bad. I hope it's not Carpal Tunnel or Tendonitis or anything. Maybe it's just overworked between typing, my phone, and lifting stuff on Saturday. I hope it stops soon, because it's starting to shoot up my arm. And IT HURTS!!
I had a minor panic attack in Target yesterday. There were SO many friggin people in the card section, I got a little claustrophobic. And then, since I was buying cards for my parents and my sister, I suddenly started missing them and got all weepy. It was tres weird. I think it was a combination of stress, pain, and exhaustion. So I will be resting up from the last month or so of hecticness this weekend. No plans I don't really want to do. No friends who annoy. A little light cleaning and rearranging. I got groceries yesterday, so I won;t even have to leave the house if I don't want to. It will be *SO* nice. Plus, car goes back tomorrow, and I'll be back to riding the Transport of Evil, also known as the bus.
( Daily 'I hate my Boss' rant. Please avert your eyes if you are faint of heart or weak of stomach. )
On a good note, _alantie got home safely and called me last night. She made it! Little freak. It's weird for someone who flies so much to be scared to do so. But I guess that actually makes her braver, huh?!
And I got the most glorious e-mail from the Volunteer Manager from GLAAD. He is possibly the cutest little thing ever. You just want to stick him in your pocket and take him home and put him on a shelf where you can stare at him and show him off to your friends. I am definitely going to go back next year.
( More random quizzes about me... )
My new icon is SO HOT!! I love him. Thank you _alantie! I am tempted to lick the screen like you did when Randy was on!! *sigh!* Mmmmmmmmmmmm...Gale...
Okay. HR Manager from Main Office is here today to hire a new receptionist, so I'd better behave myself. Later!
5/3/05 04:07 pm
I now officially have a paid account.
Yay me!
I changed the layout and my user pic. But somehow I also changed the layout for my friends page and can't change it back.
Help?! Anyone?
