Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.

I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.

I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.

Cheers,

daisy

Bad news. As many of you have probably noticed, the Amazon Conduit was not fixed in the last week's release. Unfortunately, there was an undetected bug that is preventing the conduit from working.

We are working on this bug fix and hope to have the Conduit back up and running this week.

I will keep you posted.

Thank you for being so patient.

Oh!! And I forgot to tell you one more thing! I thought of it when I was getting my laundry out lol. Ok last Wed. I was going to go to bed when Caitlin and Tweeter walked in. I talked to them a bit and they told me they were going to go out and drink because Caitlin was feeling down. They were going to drink here in our dorm, but they saw I was already in bed so they left to go drink in another room. Well that night, I couldn’t really get to sleep. I was tossing and turning and whatnot until I finally got in the really good sleep stage and then it happened. Here come Caitlin and Tweeter staggering in all drunk. I sat up and stayed up until 6 in the morning!! Now remember, on Thursdays, I have 7:30 AM labs and they knew that but they were still loud as f_ck!!! I was sooo mad you could not believe and they didn’t care. And to top it off, one of our suitemates came over to complain and they called her a stuck up bitch…..so now our suitemates hate us…well her because I apologized because the way I see it, my suitemates and I are in the same boat. We all got sleepless nights…..except for Caitlin who slept till 12 and missed all her classes. I was mad. If anyone should have lost sleep, it should’ve been her, not us! So yeah, we are definitely having that talk. I know it seems like I'm complaining about her a lot, but come on....she's not exactly making it hard.

Hey everyone!! Well I haven’t blogged in a long time, but it’s nothing like a good blog to get things off your mind right? Well my life has been A-OK so far, but I am struggling with tests in my class. Now I have my classes and my act together, so I plan to do much better. Right now I’m just listening to Taylor Swift’s Crazier…….it’s such a nice and calming song. You have to hear it. Ok so one of my main problems this week or for the past couple of weeks is my new roommate Caitlin. Maybe I should rephrase that because Caitlin is pretty awesome; it’s here friends who are sort of the problem. THEY ARE ALWAYS IN OUR ROOM!!! Now I didn’t mind at the beginning because Hey, they are her friends and there just chillin like my friends do when there here. The problem started on a Wednesday night. Now I have a 7:30 AM lab on Thursdays so I try to catch the Z’s before at least 12 so I can have a good sleep. Well Caitlin’s Nutterbutter Tweeter (That’s not his real name, I just call him that. His name is Mike) came by and wanted to go to Taco Bell. They invited me and I said no because I had to get to bed, but they would not let up, so I said, “Fine, but we have to come right back so I can sleep.” Little did I know when I said, “We have to come right back” they thought I meant all of them. All of them includes Caitlin’s friend Raul, Tweeter and Caitlin. We went to Taco Bell and they all came back to the room to eat. I figured well their just going to eat, they’ll leave in a bit……WRONG! They decided to eat and stay and invite Caitlin’s other friend, Sophia over. I was like, “Uh yeah, Fish here, I need some sleep cause I have to get up” and they just looked at me like I was talking freakin jibberish!!! Caitlin ignored me because she likes Tweeter and didn’t want him to go, so she just went on La Dee Da with her lil get together in our room. I tried to sleep, but I couldn’t. Finally, they left at like 2 or 3 and I could go to sleep. The next day or so, I decided to talk to her about it and she said, “Ok no more late nights on Wed” so I was like, “Awesome!” That, in fact did stop for a while, but another problem arouse and their names are Sophia and Raul. Now I was ok with them meeting her here to go eat and chillin here before she went to class, but now it’s just ridiculous!! It got ridiculous when I came back from class and I saw Sophia (Not Caitlin) asleep in Caitlin’s bed. I was like WTF?!?!?! Dude her room is only a few feet away from ours. She lives in a different dorm, but our dorms are neighbors. I don’t understand why she couldn’t get up and go back to her dorm. I mean it’s not that freakin far. Now if she was asleep when Caitlin was here, fine whatever, but she was asleep when Caitlin was gone. Now that’s just weird to sleep in a room that’s not yours when the person is not here. I like personal space, hell I love it! But they are always here!! They’re always asleep here!! They always eat here!! I want to tell them to go away!! Far Away!! I know that sounds mean, but come on. Especially Raul. Raul pisses me off cause we live in the same Hall, we live in the same patio…..HE LIVES LITERALLY 50 FEET AWAY FROM US!!! But he sleeps here, eats here, watches TV here. OMG!!! I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE LIVING WITH ONE ROOMMATE NOT 3!!!! Grr they make me mad so I’m going to talk to my roommate about them. If things don’t change, I’ma scream!! Ok I have to go, my laundry is done =D Until next blog MUAH!!!

Ok here we go! I plan to make my blogs happier and nothing but the truth from my heart.

For those who don't know about me, let me give you the down low about my profile

I'm smart and fun and I would say that I don't believe in bad times, but it's the bad times that have made me who I am today..... a strong woman. I don't like haters and I'm tired of drama. I'm going to be 20 years old and it's time for that to stop.  I don't show my emotions, I hide them cause no one can fix them but me and it makes me vunerable which is the worse feeling in the world! Time for a fresh start. No more sadness, no more crying, just looking to the future and I'm going to keep on flying. I say I can make it on my own, but I know  I can't. I need my family, friends, animals, the unfortunate and God. My family because nothings stronger than that. My friends because no on makes me laugh harder. My animals because they never judge me, just love me. The unfortunate because they are the only people who know about true happiness and blessings the most and during hard times, they give great advice. And God because He gave me life to enjoy and He has blessed me so.

I love:

God

Family

Friends

Music

Cartoons

Candy

Green

Animals

Laughs

Good Times

Little Things Like Cloudy Skies and Rain

Things Taken For Granted Like The Stars and Love

And sooo much more!

I love the outdoors and on a good day, I like to be alone. It's the best time to think about nonsense....

Most of all, I love myself. Not because I'm modest, but because a certain bestie of mine told me, "You have to love yourself before anyone can love you."

I hated myself cause I'm not perfect. I'm bigger than most and I don't consider myself pretty, but a certain guy that I adore and am absolutely tickled pink over, totally raised my confidence so yay!! I love myself and accept me for me =)

Ok so I'm done writing for nooooowwww.....but more to come for sure =D

The Amazon Conduit will be working again on October 15, 2009. Thank you to everyone for your patience.

Have a great weekend,

daisy, Team Vox

In my last Team Vox post, I let you know that we're aware that the Amazon conduit is broken and that we're working to fix it. Many of you want to know when it's going to be fixed and I'm so sorry I haven't gotten back to you about that sooner.

Unfortunately, I don't have an exact date to give you, but rest assured, the Amazon conduit will be fixed in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, I'm about to finish my latest book and I could use a few suggestions as to what to read next, so... if you don't mind, let me know in the comments what's on your nightstand and/or what book you think I absolutely must read next.

Thanks! :)

daisy

Some of you may have noticed that right now you cannot add books from Amazon to your Vox library. Giving people a glimpse into what's on your night stand is important to many of you, so I just wanted to reassure you that we are doing our best to get this bug fixed. I'll keep you posted.

So sorry for the inconvenience.

Hope you have a great weekend!
