I may be addicted to Cracked...

I also may be addicted to starbucks, but you knew that already.


Also, I am hoping that I fucking boned the shit out of my chem exam. Yes, that is a technical term for doing well. I celebrated finishing it with hot chocolate, chinese food, and monster. And friday, I will be celebrating it by hanging with Lea, and drinking my face off. Anyways, I wish that my teacher would have graded it today, it's just scantrons and then uploading the file that has all our grades on it. Honestly, how can that take longer than like, an hour? I dunno. But, it will hopefully be up by the time I get up tomorrow. So, talk to you later my loves :)

I would love to walk into Wegman's with one of these bad boys

Holy God, that's disturbing.

This could be you, only with less careful military discipline and more drunken attempts to launch hedgehogs into the stratosphere.

And that's the way we get by...

So, today I ate:

a fried bologna sandwich for breakfast (on moldy bread no less)
a halfa bagel with cheese for lunch
a halfa bagel with bologna for dinner

and a bag of popcorn and some mini twix.

This is what the end of the semester does to me.

Also, I probably like to say the f word a lot more than I should. Part of me feels extreme guilt over this. Part of me says, "aw fuck it."

Newly added:

It goes with my feelings about the f word. It also goes with the way my apartment is decorated :)

And that's the way we get by, it's the way we get by.

Get that nasty shit out of here

OMGOSHHHH! I only have to survive two more days of class and then I get to come home! My drill team got 13th out of 20 on Saturday, but I'm pretty proud we beat anyone considering West Point and a bunch of crazy Navy ROTCs that practice every morning were there. I'm really glad its just over. I love crazy black friday Target lady. She is hilarious. We are going to have so much fun on Friday. I can't wait for cooking and getting slizzerd this whole break :)

Post #778

Remember the days when this blog was all new, and we were all concerned about posting all the time and junk? I have been reading posts from back in the day and seeing how lame we were. Not that we were ever that lame, just compared to now...well, old us just doesn't stack up. Anyways, who was bored of that old post which was not garnering any new comments whatsoever? I know I was. I mostly just want this week to be over. Because after this week is next week, and next week I have no labs, and am going home Tuesday to spend time with my wonderful family and friends, and quite importantly, my dog. Also because this Saturday is Corey's birthday party, which, despite his supreme doofishness, the boy does know how to party, so I'm excited for that. And next week is THANKSGIVING, who's plentiful bounds of hearty delciousness I have been craving for weeks now. And my family is taking me to see HP#7 part 1! So yeah, next week beats the hell out of this week.

Anyways, I don't care if it's just to tell me what color underwear you have on, please comment and talk to me. I'm like a puppy or a baby or something; I need attention, or else I'll die. And you don't want that on your conscience, do you? Yeah, that's what I thought.

little elves beat me

Through a conversation tonight with the great Kelser we discovered that the reason you get sore when you are sick isn't because your body is fighting off illness, it's because little elves beat you with little, elf bats. Figured you all would be pleased to add that to your knowledge of the world.

Sketched Out

Derek had the nerve to friend request me on fb.
Not only did I deny it, but I deleted lots of other B-ville trash people too.
I just felt like I needed a good cyber-sterilization.
I just raped a Mechanics of Solids prelim so I'm pretty much too sexy for my shirt right now.
Did you guys enroll in spring courses yet? I'm in Linear Algebra, Physics 2 Electricity and Magnetism, baby Orgo, and Gov: "Global Perspective."

Life lessons of the day....

Number One: Do not smell a beaker if there is even a REMOTE chance that there is 6M ammonia in it. Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad plan.

Number Two: Do not try to avoid touching a hot crucible. Make damn sure you do not touch a hot crucible.

So, that's really all I learned today, I just feel that these are really important lessons to be learning. Just in case any of you need to know them.

I spent like two hours last night looking at hedgehog stuff on etsy.com.

New favorite online shopping.

Also I just saw Grace Potter on VH1. I always imagined her looking like a dirty hippie like Janis, but she is really beautiful.

This fire is out of control...

I got A's and B's on my first round of exams and just got 94% on my ROTC physical fitness test. Sorry to be bragging, but I just feel so beast right now. It's the first time I feel like I actually feel like I belong at Cornell and in the Air Force. Not that I haven't always loved them, but now I think they love me back. In other news, PHEONIX IS COMING ON SUNDAY!

I got tacky glue on my comforter and it looks like jizz

Tomorrow is my first mid-term of the season so naturally I'm delaying studying by posting.

I'm getting pretty fluent in football, unfortunately the good ol' gators are having some issues pulling out the wins. Made chilies renellos, they were really more spicy then I was hoping for but still very good. Swept the floor at the apartment today, there was so much freaking hair!

Alrighty, so that's me, now we just need a status report on everyone else. Go!

This is excellence. This guy put into words exactly what is wrong with galitsky's teaching methods. Hands on, great. 31 year old guy acting like he is 18...inappropriate/creepy.

But that's just how the story unfolds,

"You get another hand soon after you fold. And when your plans unravel in the sand, what would you wish for if you had one chance?"

So, what have I been doing? Um, breaking up with Chris (but still living with him, can you say... uncomfortable? then say it about a million more times) Not only that it's just very emotionally draining. I mean, we're cordial and not really officially broken up, but we know we're breaking up real soon. Which needless to say, makes things hard. I just couldn't handle it. Chalk it up to another stupid mistake hopefully turned lesson in the not so distant future. I've also been making plans such as going to live with my sister in Cali for a little bit, then hopefully getting a job somewhere where it snows for the winter season. Hopefully. But alas, what are plans anymore anyway? I'm going to FLA in about 16 days to see my bro get married and hopefully hanging out with a couple of you ladies. I miss you all terribly and wish things were different. But as Coney Island taught me so well, it is what it is.

What I did this summer...

• kicked it off in G-ville where I dove into the biggest bean bag chair I ever saw (while wearing a dress...in a stranger's house, while the stranger was not there...in front of MB and Durham), also witnessed either a torture chamber or strip-dancing chamber.
• worked for UF doing...stuff...
  
• hung out in Daytona and ate an epic pizza, for $49 a night.
  
• succeeded in the "most ultimate organized music library" mission, complete with genres and years
• read every xkcd ever, btw the last 50 or so SUCK
• saw my broham graduate...also, hung out with said broham.
• attended a party, that had been broken up by the hosts, then again broken up by the cops (ooh, scary). Got pissed off at Justin Alonso.
• sang on a boat with my bro, my broham, my oldest bestest pal, all the while pissing off the weather gods and weirding out my parents.
• didn't catch a whole lotta fish, but snorkeled a lot, just the way I like it
  
• spent my birthday enjoying the view of a million tiny bait fish performing a symphony of feeding, which looked like something Morgan Freeman should be narrating
• also spent my birthday with Cari and Mo, getting my rook pierced, being called kiddo and not understanding Across the Universe
• also was harassed by people in a restaurant for it being my birthday for the first time in my life, swung a napkin over my head...
  
• read Wuthering Heights finally, thought damn near every character sucked and was about as lovable a venomous reptile.
• watched as Jim read Twilight and liked it (haha), also read Bree Tanner and Breaking Dawn...also watched Eclipse, which didn't suck as much as the first two, which says pretty much nothing.
• Reorganized my closet full of "stuff that needs to go to g-ville vs. stuff that goes here" approximately 50 times, got rid of some crap.
• beat Mario 64 (again)
• went to Siesta Key
• went to IKEA twice...rekindled my love for iphones
  
• witnessed far too much skinny dipping, flashed my friends (which is not good punishment for them bothering you with their nudity), had my bikini top stolen by some n'erdowells...and sang much too loudly as Charlie played guitar.
• made plans to walk down frat row with Krystal, with thermoses covered with lisa frank stickers, my thermos having jack, hers with SoCo, and wearing togas (only in college does this make sense)
• chased a party all around brooksville, a party which was only happening because Corey Becker ODed (irony).
• swam through a cave...not to mention caught crabs.
• gained guitar calluses, lost them, then began to earn them back, hopefully forever
  

I am sure there is more...anyways, what'd you guys do?

chinese food and watching someone play video games

That's what most of the people at work are doing right now. Oh and playing with a vacum cleaner. we are so bored.

chicas, chicas bonitas!

Today I saw a really lazy squirrel. You know how normally they are all teaking out and running around and chasing each other? This squirrel was so lazy that he was laying on a stone bench with one arm hanging down and his head hanging over the edge. When a person walked by he got up and moved to the back of the bench and laid down in the exact same way. He was there for like ten minutes. I think if a squirrel was to even smoke pot that is how they would act. Also, I went and tried to tan on sunday and got a little burnt right between my boobs and now it's itchy, but I'm at work and I don't think itching your boobs at work is acceptable.

Hey Bethany

So, I got your voice mail the other day, but we are going back and forth between the coast right now, so I don't really have any signal most of the time. Also, Christina told me that your phone is having trouble, so I don't know if you got the message I left you a few weeks ago after you left me one. Anyways, to avoid more phone tag, I figured I would just blog to you. I'd like to hang out, but we are pretty busy at the coast, so maybe if you put some days you aren't busy on here I can plan a day to hang out.

Thanks for the b-day wishes, talk to you later,

I am cham-pion at beer p-ong.

5 games, or 6. we really aren't 100% sure, but whichever it is, that is the number of times jake and i crushed the hearts and souls of the opposing team. i was pretty fun. also, met a kid who lived in Norway for three years, said kid got very drunk and tried to fight EVERYBODY. Said kid and I had a conversation about how 'viking' is a verb, said kid will always be referred to as Norway in my mind and has made it clear that you don't even have to be born in norway to become crazy and violent.

So it's jumping the gun a little bit, 2 hours and a minute as I write this, but HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY CARL!!!! sorry that's as big as the font will go :( and it doesn't convey how much happy and birthday i'm wishing to you. Anyway I vote you do lots of 18 year old stuff to celebrate and that when you are home we all go do 18 year old stuff together, as 18 ( and 19) year olds. I miss you and I am gonna tackle hug you when I see you again. Live it up chica you are totally an adult soon!

Bethany dude, you need a facebook.

Anyways, we should go to wiregrass once we are both home. I miss wiregrass.

Also, guess what...the last time I gave blood, I almost passed out. I was at the bus stop, and I was all like, eww I don't feel awesome. But then I was like nah, I'm just psyching myself out. But then I got seriously worried about puking in front of all the people there, so I called Lea and asked her to come get me. And then a bunch of bright lights kept popping in front of my eyes. And then I laid down and discovered that that was the only way I would feel OK. Anyways, I think it was because I hadn't eaten in a while, but I am a little worried about donating again.

Alrighty, so ttyl, hearts, Kels

The last post is so irrelevant....

Brandy died. She got run over late last night and the vet had to put her down. And I found out from a text message. At first I couldn't cry, but for the past almost hour I have been balling. I loved her so much....

Shedding light on things best left in the dark is a good way to blind someone you kidnapped...

Soo, my title has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Basically, despite its hilariosity, I am tired of looking at that last post. I am bored and pretty much just posing about my random thoughts. Most of my thoughts today have revolved around my giant fever blister. The thing is huge and highly pressurized, I can feel my pulse in it. Gross, but it is consuming an alarming amount of my thoughts. I am thinking about tanning, but worrying about worsening it. It's like I pissed off whatever spirit guide that controls my lip health, now they are assuring that, if ever there were a possibility of kissing anyone in my near future, I would have to abstain. Not that there has been anyone I want to kiss, or will want to kiss in this bout of lip deterioration.

Let's see, what else. I killed a cake the other day. Burned the first crust I made. Got the second one (with the filling in it) wet, and then put it back in the oven (without the sides of the springform pan), only to have half of the cake slide off and fall on the burner, causing the intact half to taste like burned key lime barbecue. I damn near cried. Which may be explained by the pms which I was then having. It's crazy, there have been about 4 showings of that midol commercial where they are all like "treats the uggh (cramps), uggh (bloating), and ughh (fatigue)." And I'm just like, I feel exactly like that right now, except for with a big honking fever blister. Which actually may just be symptom of the menstrality of my day.

Also, on my mind, I love coffee from starbucks, and it is totally unfair that they put a starbucks in the library, such a trap. Also, the guy there thinks my name is Emily, and I don't have the heart to tell him he learned it wrong. Anyways, I think I make a good Emily anyways so it's ok.

I like the name Emily, and the name Emile, and Elizabeth, and Elijah. Maybe all my babies will have 'e' names. That would be lame.

Hope you all find this as hilarious as me and Lea did

Super Deep Hair Conditioning

• 1 cup mayonnaise (room temperature if possible, like from a jar of brand new mayo just off the grocery store shelf)
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 3 egg yolks

Pretty much the grossest thing ever to have to touch. Plus it soaked through the towel that I wrapped around it kinda, so now it's all stiff and greasy (that's what she said). My hair better be super shiny and healthy after this crap.

I can't stand the typical person who makes it their life's goal to make themselves atypical. Be who you are, even if that is modeling someone else. Don't tell me who to be, even if you are just telling me to be myself. Stop giving a shit about what everyone is, and who you are, and things will fall into place. Don't try to feed me any canned bullshit about the meaning of life, cause if you believe any of that crap, than you have totally missed out on the meaning yourself, which clearly makes you unfit to give such advice. We all have our own way, and if you think yourself as being enlightened and more free than others, than you almost certainly have a bassakwards outlook on what it means to be alive.

AHHH BETHANY!!!!

I can't believe I forgot to call you over spring break!!!! I'm so sorry :(

Like times a billion. I was sick/super busy, not that that excuses it, but I figured I would at least tell you why. Anyways, holy crap, I'm sorry. Um, I figured since I am genuinely terrible at phones I would computerize this conversation. So I have a calc test next thursday, but this week I am free aside from the regular levels (aka huge amounts) of homework and junk. Maybe a late week mall trip? Anyways, lemme know.

LOVE YOU!

Kels

i need y'all's opinions!!!

leslie wants us to pick what bridesmaid dress we like but since i'm really not good at this stuff and you guys are... which is your favorite??

You guys...

Stop being so boring. I know you all have at least mildly entertaining stories about your mildly interesting lives... Stop withholding them from me. I'm a little too in the middle of a nowhere vortex to be cheated of some true life mementos of your startling realities.

Peace and love...

SPRING BREAK OH-10!

"makin' banana pancakes / pretend like it's the weekend"

i'm at the deluxe inn in ft stockton, tx!!!

inn in. i'm so tired. i should be sleeping now, but i will soon. i just felt the need to update a blog post. even though it will probably be totally incoherent and i'll look at it later and be like what the hell? when did i even write this? but that's ok, because i trust you guys enough to not judge me that much. it's been an incredibly long day but i'm nearing the end of the longest journey ever. ok, so other people have probably journeyed longer than me before. this just feels like it's taking an eternity. i'm excited to get to where i'm actually going tomorrow - that should be the best part. in the mean time, i'm going to enjoy the classy amenities of the deluxe inn such as the clothespinned together curtains to my left. ok, time to go to sleep. i miss you all already and hope all is well.

love,

Wish you were here

The other night when I was waiting on the bus it stopped snowing for long enough for it to be really calm and pretty and the clock tower was all lit up playing "Hey Jude". It made me think of you.

I feel like this

Whoa BJ lives!

My writing seminar instructor is a grad student who looks like cowsuit jeff, wears hipster clothes, and talks about homoeroticism and phallic/yonic symbols. I cannot tell if these things bother me or I like them. I coughed up green this morning and it is snowing like a mofo, thus I am in my dorm room trying to do an essay but blogging instead. The Rev John Delore sent me an awesome valentines day thingy in his fan newsletter and I would like to share it with you:
"In the spirit of Valentines Day, the third pint of bidness is the semi-condensed myth of Cupid & Psyche. Here we go: Psyche was wayyy hot which made Aphrodite (goddess of beauty) wayyy jealous. She sends her son Cupid to shoot Psyche with an arrow so she'll fall in love with the first thing she sees. Aphrodite plans to put a hideous beast in her chamber so when she wakes up she falls in love with that beast. Aphrodite spends time & trouble to travel to the future to bring back the beast Neil Diamond. Her efforts are wasted because Cupid, seeing the beauty of Psyche hesitates. She wakes up suddenly which startles Cupid so that he scratches himself with the arrow. Now he likes her. Likes her likes her. So he abandons mission & Aprhodite is pissed. As the beast Neil Diamond is torn into a million pieces by the angry goddess he weeps, to which she advises him to dry his eye. Ahem.
Aphrodite places a curse on Psyche & Cupid responds by going on strike. Without his arrows of love, people stop worshiping Aphrodite. Her temple falls into disarray, the world starts to wither & smell like a dead fish in summer. Not being able to handle the smell, Aprhodite relents and Cupid & Psyche are allowed to marry. The catch: Cupid remains invisible to Psyche. Things go well until Psyche's bitchass sisters get jealous and tell Psyche her husband is actually an invisible snake who is going to eat her and her baby. Curiosity eats at her & while he's sleeping Psyche holds a candle up to Cupid. A drop of wax falls on his smooth marble-like chest. He lets out a cry of pain: "SCREEEEEEEEEEE!" He flees. Psyche realizes she done messed up. Before she goes to beg the help of Aphrodite, she gets revenge on her sisters. She makes each of them think that Cupid has chosen her as his wife. They both jump off cliffs thinking Cupid will catch them. He doesn't. They plummet and are dashed upon the stones. They meet Neil Diamond in the underworld and have to listen to "Cracklin Rosie" for a thousand times a thousand years. Ouch, baby.
Meanwhile, Aphrodite puts Psyche through a series of impossible tests that she passes, with help. First a bunch of ants help her separate the different types of grain in a huuuuge basket. Next a river-god helps her gather the golden wool of some vicious sheep. Third, an eagle helps her get a gourd of mountain water guarded by huge serpents. And finally she enters into the Underworld where she appeases the three-headed dog with a cupcake, then gets a bit of Persephone's beauty to take back to Aphrodite. But she gets curious, opens the box and is overcome with a dreadful sleep. Cupid swoops down, saves her, carries her home. Then the council of Gods votes to make Psyche immortal. Whew. Lessons: (1) even for Cupid, love ain't all roses and spooning; (2) physical love (eros) + the spirit (psyche) = a complete union; (3) it's okay to ask ants, eagles, and rivergods for help (or your friends); (4) i'm not a big fan of Neil Diamond (ever seen "The Last Waltz"?); (5) thanks to Clash of the Titans, Ursula Andress will always play Aphrodite in my imagination."
I pretty much love John Delore even though I only met him once.

Learnings

Here are a few things I've learned this semester:

1) based on English phonics, this word- ghoti- says fish. maybe you'd heard that, but i don't think i had. anyway: gh as in rough, o as in women, and ti as in motion.

2) you know how they say that life is one big rollercoaster? well, it's geographically true. the equator is about 24,000 miles long, and so people there are rotating with the earth at about 1,000 miles per hour. we're moving a bit slower in gville, and cari, you're obviously slower in ithaca, but still, 900 mph is faster than any roller coaster i've ever been on. :)

3) and most importantly: i always laughed at ms. harper when she said "ax" instead of "ask". but she was actually basing her speech in old English, whether she knew it or not. our verb, "ask", comes from the old English word "acsian", and somewhere along the line we transposed the s and the c. people like ms. harper, however, just liked the tradition of it all, i guess. believe it or not.

In Soviet Russia, Waldo finds you!

So today was my first PT this term. We ran up and down stairs for 20 minutes and so now I have to crawl up my stairs to get to my room. It is a legit arctic tundra here. It's like 7 degrees with a windchill in the negatives. I'm going to a dance party at Thumpty tonight so thats exciting. Hot Russian boy in my chem class sat next to me today "so he could see better". I'm working on it. Oh yeah, I'm drill team commander!!! Well, I don't exactly have a team yet but I'm working on that too.

Title

I give you what you want, but nothing is for FREE

Listening to good, hot, badass, powerful female singers makes me feel way more empowered as a woman than an any feminist manifesto I've ever come across. Story of an Hour can suck it big time, "But I know how to twist ya, to bring you to your knees..." is somehow much closer to home in my opinion of a strong female.
wC

I would like to burn a theme at here.

I made it back to Cornell safe and sound. Back to school. Back to stress. Back to cramming too much matter in my tiny dorm room and too many to-do's in my schedule. I bought the John Grisham book "The Runaway Jury" today because it's about my grandaddy's big tobacco trials when he was a lawyer. It's strange to read about the character modeled after him. I wonder if I will make history and my grandkids will be able to have that feeling.

CARL

I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air

So, Americans seem to think that the ancient Greeks had British accents, think Brad Pitt in Troy. It's true.

So they are remaking Clash of the Titans, do you guys remember in middle school when they showed us the old one with godawful effects? Well Liam Neeson is Zeus in the new one and it looks like it will be totally badass. I am excited for it.

K.D.

How is it that I, the non-poster, has posted the most as of late?

So, I love Coconut Records. They are my most favoritest indie band. They make me want to go to the beach. Also, I told Lea and Chris this, but I changed my desktop to the forest, and now every time I open my computer I just look at it for awhile and imagine being there and walking around. I want to get outta the city pretty bad as of late. I know its early to be burned out of college, but I just feel so bleh here. Hopefully Chris and her upbeat, adventuristic, outlook on life will help quell my thirst for fresh new-ness (I know new-ness is not a noun, but it captures the essence of that which I want to convey). So anyways, all of these thoughts have been molding together and stewing up in my brain for a bit, some of them stewing longer than others, (also I have been reading Tolkien, which always sets my wick of adventure and change alight) and I have decided that California is where I gotta go this summer. The forest and beach and cool people and good music all in one place. Then when I think about Cali for too long I start to consider that wild light song "California on My Mind" as like a theme song, but then I am like, "no 'F. California' is the opposite of how I feel right now. But having a lake that I could dive into, and burying my head in the shit at the bottom doesn't sound so bad (symbolically ya know?). Neither does f-ing San Francisco, but that is an entirely different version of California than the one I want to go to so badly." Anyways, continuing on, at first I wanted to go to Cali by car with Mo', which may still be the way I wanna do it, if she's up for it. But then Lea suggested working at a kids camp, and at first I was like, boo...kids. But now I think it would be awesome. Getting paid lotsa money to babysit. But not like lame babysit, babysit with canoes and arts and crafts and s'mores. That would be awesome. So I want to find one that pays good, in California, and maybe pays airfare, but in all honesty a road trip there sounds kinda better. It's just having a place to stay on the way and all. But technicalities aside, I want to do that.

In other news, I bombed my first calc quiz hardcore. But I looked at the answer key and none of what was right was very hard. I just didn't see to do it when I was taking the quiz. So this semester I have a couple goals. One: to make my brain see algebra better. I have no clue how to achieve that one, but I think it might get easier once I have a damn textbook. Two: to understand general chemistry, which I have done before, I just never committed it to memory, so that is my real goal. I can do this one just by reading and studying, instead of not reading and blundering through. Three: learn about Greek Myth to an awesome degree. Lucky for me, I am pretty sure all I have to do for this goal is go to my handy dandy myth class. So those are my goals. Notice I have not made, "decide what I want to do with my life" one of my goals. I am stalling that one. Although everyday I come closer and closer to "screw it, I'm gonna teach." When this thought crosses my mind, my self preservation hormones immediately kick in and go "cut that crap out, suck it up, do something difficult and tedious with your life." Stay tuned see who wins in this epic battle of voices in my head and odd "you're going over a hill too fast" sensations in my stomach.

Also, I love the White Stripes. I had no clue this would happen, but it did, and I am super happy about it. I now ardently desire a few things: White stripes t-shirt, Rise against t-shirt, posters of aforementioned bands along with the fratellis, the fratellis and white stripes to go on tour nearby (although my startlingly realistic dream about being on stage for a stripes concert makes that a less ardent desire), and that's about it.

So there you go, my bemused and befuddled brain in a few words.

all of my love,

K.D.

yay

So today I skipped my first class of the semester, AND I had a dream about what a bitch Myra is. SUCCESS! I haven't even been up for more than 20 minutes and I am already satisfied with my day's accomplishments.

K.D.

I'm Going to Bed at 9 o'clock.

I feel like a toddler...

So this one time in Amsterdam...

I made the cab pull over so I could sacrifice the contents of my stomach to the gods of the Amsterdam streets; everyone does it.

Despite traveling for 22 hours on only 5 hours of sleep and having a serious case of alcohol poisoning I made it home last night. Luckily once I slept on the plane a little my body processed the vodka out so that I could eat without spewing, but now I have a little cold because of the immuno-deficiency it caused. So now I am incredibly happy that I can rest and not go to school. Soon I will come to Gainesville so I can tell you lots of crazy stories and do it all over again! Well...maybe not that intensely.

it is so cold where i am

Dear Prudence,

Honey pie you are making me crazy. I'm so tired I haven't slept a wink. When I cannot sing my heart, I can only speak my mind. Take it easy, everybody's got something to hide. I'm coming down fast, but I'm miles above you. You know I love you, I'll always be true. But what have you done? You made a fool of everyone. I need your love babe, guess you know it's true. But every now and then I feel so insecure, I know that I just need you like I've never done before. You're asking me will my love grow? I don't know... I don't know... Stick around and it may show. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders, we can work it out.

From,
Me to You

It all started when I was defrosting some pork chops...

It got me to thinking about cooking for only yourself and how it's sort of sad, then I though of Doc Foster and I was really sad, lol can you guess who is pmsing.... anyway. I started to de-christmas the apartment and cleaned the dead bugs up (hurray for them being dead!). I had to return a jogging top today to Kohls cause it was way to small and instead I got two bras. It's friggin cold! I don't like it. It's a new year, I love it. Ahhahahahah, ok so i just made a new pandora station and the little label came up as follows, "...with dirty electric guitar solos and dynamic male vocals" oh yeah baby bring on that dirty guitar!
