Okay soooo until I figure out how to import my old blog from livejournal onto here, I guess I’ll just haphazardly post them. Here. Enjoy.

 

The Nines

  • Apr. 5th, 2008 at 1:08 PM
So I watched this absolutely fantastic movie the other night. I watched it twice in fact, because it was that intricate and that involved. It was called The Nines… and I’m pretty sure you’ve never heard of it, because I didn’t either. It’s a sundance film that never made it onto the big screens but earned the most money out of all the sundance premieres I believe ever. It stars Ryan Reynolds (I like him), Melissa Mcarthy (Suki from the Gilmore Girls) and Hope Davis.. I dunno what she was in but she looks familiar. Anyways, I don’t really want to ruin the movie but it’s going to be kind of hard to talk about it unless I ruin it a liiiiiiiiiiittle bit. The movie is split into three separate stories. The first one is called “The prisoner”, and Ryan Reynolds is a crack addicted actor who accidentally burns his house down while in woe over his stupid ex girlfriend. He then ends up on House arrest. I forget the name he plays in this part, but it starts with a “G” and that’s all that’s important. Anyways, his agent, “M” (who… surprise… is played by Melissa Mcarthy) puts him on house arrest and ends up staying with him. Hope (who turns out to be his neighbor.. and I can’t remember what her name starts with so I’ll just call her hope) starts to kind of intrude on what he’s doing there. They both give him warnings. M says that she’s a 9 as well and he has to be careful, meanwhile Hope is warning him about M, and saying she knows how to get him out. It all seems fine and dandy, maybe a little confusing, but you don’t even really know the web you’re about to get into until well later in the movie. He thinks his house is haunted (he’s staying in the house of a gay writer, we don’t learn much else yet) and he swears that he sees himself walk by as a ghost. He also finds a note that says “Look for the nines” in his handwriting. M notices the note and says that his subconscious must be trying to remind him of who he is with all the references to nine. hmm. very mysterious. by this time I thought he was schizophrenic or had multiple personalities. Apparently he thinks the same- he understands the situation about as much as we do. So now we exit, and begin the next story. In this story, called “Reality Television”, “G” is a writer (a gay one…. hmmmmm are your wheels beginning to turn yet? mine were.) and he’s casting his best friend, “M” (played by melissa) in a role that he has written for her in his show called “Knowing”. He’s also being followed around by a camera man for a reality TV show, so he’s constantly turning around and talking to the camera. The show, Knowing, involves them having a mute girl as a daughter (she shows up in the first part of the movie, but I failed to mention her.. but she’s there. and she’s important) and “g” is the husband. Anyway, Hope plays his agent I believe, and starts telling him that he needs to drop “M” as a role and get rid of her, and tries to cast somebody else called Dahlia in her role. He’s against the idea but in the end he has to cut her loose. She flips out and pretty much disowns him, and is very very upset. Towards the end of this segment we then realize that he wasn’t REALLY on a reality TV show… He also mentioned to “M” that he feels as if his house is haunted, and once again, he swears that he saw himself. This is the part that started to confuse the hell out of me. I was afraid that by this point, there would be some sort of cheap cop out to the movie. You know, were they wake up and it’s all a dream. Now we enter into the third movie. This one is called “Knowing” and it’s pretty much his TV show put into life as a new part of the movie. He’s playing a father/husband, and his daughter is the mute girl. His wife, of course, is “M”. They get stranded in a canyon with no service on their phone, with a broken car. He starts to run to get service on the main road where he runs into Hope again. This time she’s playing a character that’s just wandering around. She’s afraid that he’s some sort of serial killer and he denies it… making himself sound even more like one. She says she can’t help him and walks the other way. He starts to leave and she finds him a few minutes later to finally take him to her “car”. Meanwhile, “m” is watching his video camera, and it happens to have the recording from the LAST section of the movie, where he’s firing her at dinner. Seeing herself, she’s ultimately confused. I’m going to stop here, because this is where everything starts to unfold. This review really doesn’t do it justice, and I don’t even REALLY know why I wrote it, because I don’t usually waste my time doing movie reviews.. but this movie just had me pondering what was going on. There’s still a ton of interpretations as to what is going on… but the ultimate ending of the movie is AMAZING. Watch it. Immediately. I’m finally back from NY and enjoying the nice sunny weather here in Florida. I don’t even really know why I went back (aside from the obvious reasons) but a blog is no place to get into all that crap now. The whole point of this is to be entertaining, yet refrain from everyone knowing my personal life. haha. I’m going to the gym now.. I feel like i’m so lazy since I came back.. I hate going a week without working out. blahhhhhhh. Not to mention, I haven’t ridden yet either. I’m going to head over tomorrow, I miss fancy and of course julie too!!!

NY

  • Apr. 1st, 2008 at 11:36 AM
So I’m back in NY for spring break. (That’s right, spring break in the cold). I came to visit because I wanted to see my mom, shane’s mom, and some friends. It’s so f’in cold here!!!! Well actually, today is really nice, it’s in the 60’s I think. The boy flew back yesterday because he has class today, so I’m here until tomorrow. I think each time I come back here to visit, I miss it less and less. Of course I miss my family and friends, but I don’t miss the state too much. I get pretty nostalgic in florida when I meet somebody from the New England area, and it does make me miss it a little. Trekking through the snow in the winter. Flailing outside in a T-shirt because it’s ACTUALLY over 65 degrees on a particular day. Doing doughnuts in the snow with my car. Being snowed in on every holiday (lol) because that’s just how things work. I won’t ever forget Valentine’s day last year when shane and I got snowed in to my house. It was the best valentine’s day ever. Then later that night we went out to brave the snow and slid all around town in his truck. Yeah, I do miss those things. But at the same time, I’m happy to be out where it’s warm, and just away from my roots. My roots will ALWAYS be my roots, but that doesn’t mean I’m forced to remain with them forever. What is life is you can’t grow and explore? I wouldn’t have learned half the things I’ve learned, and learned how to be responsible, if I never moved away from home. Its tough, but it’s worth it. People have many places that they call home in their life. NY is home to me and so is Florida. Home is where you have people around you that you love. I’m lucky in that aspect because I’ve never been happier with anybody ever in my life. It’s nice and it makes me smile :) I am laughing though because it’s been snowing/raining the past couple days since we’ve been here, and now that he flew home, its beautiful out. ::neener:: :) I can’t wait to go back to sunny florida.

  • 3:04 PM
I hate my macbook. Why, you ask? Because it seems like the past week it decides to act utterly ignorant when I’m trying to complete a test for one of my classes online. It acts like a golden child when I’m doing completely pointless activities, like playing on facebook or writing these. But as soon as I need to calculate a derivative or solve some stupid economic crisis, it’s like “What? You want to send that answer in? Okay. HAHA!! Juuuuuuuuuuuuust kidding. I really wasn’t going to, I’m just going to sit here and freeze now, so I submit your incomplete test just for a giggle or two”. AHHHHHHHHH. It’s absolutely fantastic otherwise… I’m just pretty sure the tech savvy gunman has allocated all his inner rage into a nice little package named “Black Macbook” whenever the “important file” radar hastily beeps. I wanted to get all my work done today because tomorrow is sunday… and pretty much I like to laze around and do nothing. 

On another note, I have alot of hate for the people upstairs. Not because they party, cause… well it’s college. But if you’re gonna party, blast techno music like the 80’s are back into style and popping pills is all the rage, bang around like you’re throwing large animals into the wall and bouncing them off the floor, or perhaps walk around in high heels at 3:30 in the morning because clearly that’s NECESSARY during these wild and crazy apartment techno dance parties, do it in a dorm on campus and not an apartment that’s just shy of $1000 dollars per month. Seriously. What’s the point of paying so much for a beautiful apartment in a gated complex if you have people upstairs who play techno consistently, every day, and sound like they’re falling face down on the floor every few hours, while giggling like a bunch of 14 year olds who got their hands on alcohol for the first time in their life. It’s not even like you hear a tiny part of the bass either. I can pretty much tell you what song is playing and sing along and dance if I felt inclined to do so. Couldn’t come up with a reason yet? Yeah neither can I. So I’m well aware that this was a complete bitch blog, but it had to be said before I go up to their apartment and tell them to shut the hell up. I totally would, except for the fact that Shane and I are the only two cars with NY plates in the parking lot and if they do anything to our cars I’ll surely run them over next time I see them. I really hope my dad finds a house that we can move in to. Soon please. Thanks.

yum.

  • Mar. 21st, 2008 at 7:33 PM
I’m totally in heaven right now. The apartment is completely rearranged and clean, I have a beer, and I’m relaxing with the boy. I couldn’t ask for anything more! I’d have coffee but we’re out of milk.. I don’t feel like going to the store. Haha. I went out to ride Fancy. She was super spooky and I don’t know why. I think it’s because of the wind out here, she probably thought there were scary things rustling the leaves of the trees by the fence haha. I jumped her for a little while too, but she’s still not picking her feet up too well. I’ve tried approaching the jumps from different angles, I’ve tried really nudging her right before the jump to give her a push. I’ve tried really collecting her before the jump so all the impulsion is coming from her hind legs, making it easier to pick up her front legs. I’ve tried everything! I’m gonna have to try something else to figure out for next time. I sent a couple of houses to my dad. We’re gonna take a drive sometime this weekend to look at them. We’ll live in it down here and that way if we decide to move again, he can just rent the house out. That way he’ll have our house in NY and one down here. It shouldn’t be too hard to find somebody to rent it. It’s so beautiful out here! Sometimes I miss NY, but all that changes when I realize that I can walk out on the balcony any time of the day, with my coffee, and just sit out in a tank top and jeans and bask in the warmth. There are some CRAZY drivers out here!! Everyone thinks that NY drivers are bad, but just wait till you drive down here. No turn signals, they hit the brakes last minute, I swear that I see at least two accidents a day, and that’s just going back and forth to school or riding. I’m afraid to even drive my car around here. Comes with the territory I guess though. I really have to clean my car… not really cause it’s dirty but I wanna armorall it and just vacuum some dust out from my riding boots. The car’s color is growing on me but sometimes I still wish the grey one I ordered came in. The whole fun of ordering your new car from a dealership is getting the color you want… but since my eclipse threatened to blow up every day that I drove it, this was the only other one on the lot in stock that I liked. I heart it. Okayyyyyyy I’m going to enjoy my beer. YAY :)

alsooo

  • Mar. 18th, 2008 at 5:07 PM
I’m also excited (again). I talked to my dad yesterday…(He’s an engineer working privately in europe, so I don’t get to see him until he comes to visit) and he wants me and the boy to come out to england! I doubt I’ll be able to anytime soon, because of school, but I can’t wait until afterwards. I want to go back to holland so we can see where we used to live and go visit my school. He also wants me to start looking for a house down here so we don’t have to keep renting this stupid apartment. What a waste of money it is!He had paid off our house in upstate NY a few years ago [which is where I was living when I lived up there] but since I moved down here he just found people to rent it out so it will pay for the taxes and stuff. It’s better than it just sitting there. Apparently there’s some religious fanatics that are renting it. I don’t even think they have kids. What on earth are they doing with our 7 bedroom house!? They don’t even need that much! There’s so many foreclosure going on down here because of the economy, it’s the perfect time to buy another house. They’re cute here too. There’s a huge price difference, the houses down here are extremely small but pricey. My first stop is to look at the foreclosed listings :) You can find a steal there!

ugh, I’ve been up since 9:00 studying for calculus. I’m pretty sure I’ll do fine, but I really need an A in this class. If not an A, at least a B. I have to keep up a 3.5 GPA in order to stay in Alpha Gamma Omega. Hopefully I’ll be okay. After my exam I think I might go riding. I’ve been working Fancy on her flatwork alot because I want to make sure she can bend and be supple, as well as be collected when being ridden. I need to start working her over fences soon though. When I go today I think I may set the jump course up and work her in there, it’s been a few weeks since I’ve taken her over any. I’m excited!! Jumping is probably my all time favorite thing to do. When we lived in Holland I was working on jumping at De Molen. It was a beautiful riding school there. Some pictures on my facebook are from that riding academy. I have to get to the gym tonight too. I’ve been running almost every night with Shane, and I try to go to Planet Fitness at least once a week so I can use a bunch of other machines. It’s just so hard to get there with all the crap I have to do. I’m meeting julie there tonight, I’m pretty sure. Okaaaaaaaaay well I’m getting ready to leave for my calculus exam. Bleh. I’ll probably write later after I ride about how my jumping went.

http://gizmodo.com/365619/new-camera-can-tell-exactly-whats-in-your-pockets-from-80-feet-away

I was on gizmodo this morning while drinking my lovely mug of coffee when I noticed this. If you took a chance to click the link and read it, you’ll see why it’s pretty appalling. Now, I’m totally for protecting people and being able to spot criminals before they do something wrong, but how far is TOO far? I mean, this thing can see objects in people’s pockets from 80 feet away by catching on to the trays that it emits. The article was saying that if they installed this on the streets, it would serve as something to catch people with drugs and firearms. That’s awesome… in a way. But un-awesome in alot of others. That’s turning this country into something that we don’t want. There’s already been an era of totalitarianism in the world- can we please not have it here? My professor was already saying how they have these chips that you can install in your children so you can track where they are at all times. Her friend had them installed in her child, but it actually helped save her life. She ended up getting kidnapped [what are the odds lol] and the police were able to track the child down using the chip. Shenendehowa [my old highschool in NY] already has it so that parents can log onto the school site and see their child’s attendance and their grades, as well as any disciplinary action that was taken. That’s good … for the parents. Not so good for the child. Now, I wasn’t a menace or anything in school, but every kid skips now and again to do something fun. It’s just how it is. I couldn’t believe being in highschool now with it like that. It’s bad enough that when I was in highschool, we had a guy named the “creeper” that shen staffed just to hang out in the trees of the woods behind our school, where the trail was to walk into town. What the hell!? He was creepy. That alone kept me from stepping foot in there unless I was with a bunch of people haha. Accounting tiiiiiiiiime. bye.

dreams

  • Mar. 16th, 2008 at 12:20 PM
sooo I had a really weird dream last night. I figure I can write about it while I coffee :)

All I remember was that I was walking somewhere, and for some reason or another I came across a black snake. I [somehow] had a snake book with me and I had opened it up to look at it. I remember thinking in my dream about copperheads and cobras and whatnot, but I couldn’t see the snake in the book. I had myself thoroughly convinced it was a black cobra and I picked the damn thing up. If anybody has held a snake, you know the two places that you hold it. You hold its tail, and you place your hand right underneath its head so it can’t turn back and snap at you. I was doing that and it starting fighting me a little and trying to wriggle away. Its head was super strong and I could feel it slipping out of my grip… and then this happened.

Its head retracted [that's right kids, RETRACTED] into its neck. What kind of snake does that!? I knew it was going to bite me so I was about to let it down, when its head came back out and it managed to sink its fang into my finger. Then the book said something about it being poisonous [since it took me getting bitten to actually locate the mysterious snake in the snake book finally] and I realized what had just happened. That was it.

Now my dreams have been known to be weird before, and i dream every night, but this one stuck in my mind because I’ve dreamt of snakes before. I’ve probably had about 8 dreams involving snakes. I don’t own a snake. Yes, I like snakes, but I don’t think about them enough to have them encroach on my dreams.

OOOOO a really nice WRX just drove by the apartment. That required a brief pause and exclamation :)

aaaaaanyways. I’m gonna go crawl back in bed with the boy.

Pseudo St. Patty’s Day!!

  • Mar. 15th, 2008 at 11:29 AM
Today is pseudo St. Patty’s day :) The weekend of, and the weekend for celebration. I don’t think I’m doing much for it this year… I have alot of things I have to get done this weekend and a bunch of tests coming up. Which sucks, but I’ll live. Last year shane had already moved and I think I celebrated at Hatfield’s house (?) and the year before that, Jenna and I celebrated in Saratoga. And proceeded to take samsung home with us. THAT was interesting lol. Plus, I’m not sure where the celebrations are for this weekend down here yet. Shane’s in class til 9 tonight anyway. He’s napping next to me while I attempt to study for my accounting exam today. This has been THE weirdest semester for all my tests. For my business class I get two at a time, and my economics class randomly gives us take homes or testing center ones. And my accounting class is another story all together. It’s a second half class, so pretty much she’s fitting a whole semester of information into 4 weeks of class (because spring break is right in the middle of it). We have a test every couple of days in the testing center on campus and we cover about a chapter a class. Crazy huh? I got an A in financial accounting so I’m sure I’ll do fine in managerial… hopefully. Calculus isn’t too bad. I’m getting the hang of it and we have a test coming up on Tuesday… studying shall commence the night before. I’m the genius who takes 5 classes a semester. 3 that are math intensive and 1 that is all writing. The other one isn’t really important, it’s not hard.

I have to go riding at some point today too. I told Julie I would go early afternoon but I think it might be later because I forgot campus isn’t open past 4 today. I’m excited! Sometime within the next few days we’re taking the horses out with some other people [I haven't met them yet] and we’re going riding for a few hours down the Little Econ River. I loooooove trail riding. Oh, no I don’t ride western, we’re riding english out there… I don’t do the whole ‘cowboy’ thing. Haha. Me in a cowboy hat…. mmhmm. Not likely. Not that I’m implying all western riders tote cowboy hats but you know what I mean. I’m a little frightened though; I’ve heard vicious rumors about banana spiders hanging out in the forest here. If you’ve ever seen one you would understand why this strikes terror in my heart. I’m not a bug person AT ALL… let alone spiders. I’m terrified of them.

I remember my first horse that I had apparently had some barrel racing experience… I tried to tap into that and had my mom buy my a western saddle… didn’t go so well. She was too high strung. I used to love xmas when I had my horses. I always got new tack or saddle pads. Yeah yeah. All you people who don’t ride or own horses probably don’t see how exciting it was, but trust me, it was like giving cookies to the cookie monster. I went to the tack store with Julie a few weeks ago and OH GOD. Why didn’t they have any of this stuff when I needed to buy some?! They had these cute black saddle pads with little pink skulls on them, black ones with a pink breast cancer ribbon on it. I totally could have accessorized. I always did green with my horses though [because they were both bay's, so the green went well with the dark brown] with everything from their saddle pads right down to their leg wraps and blankets. AND for those of you who claim that riding is not a sport and you think that people just sit on a horse and the horse plods along… you are greatly mistaken. I’m only mentioning this because I’ve always had people ask me how I considered riding great physical activity or a sport. Well all I have to say is this, you try riding a 1000+ pound animal 3-4 times a week that can think for itself. Plodding along? Hardly. I’m not talking about riding a school horse that’s completely bomb-proof so people can have their children ride. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I’ve been there, You should have seen some of them that I was riding when I was 8 lol. If I had to ride them now it would be a grueling experience… but that’s how you learn. You’d be amazed at how much work it can actually be when you’re past that stage. Have you ever had a dog that was bigger than you chase something and pull you along? Ok well maybe that’s a bad example because I don’t even weigh a hundred pounds, so any dog really could drag me lol. But imagine sitting on top and working with an animal thats about 20 times the weight of that. It’s the most exhilarating and liberating feeling in the world… until you’re cantering along and a bird flies out of the bushes and scares the ever living crap out of your horse, and they decide to flip out and take off. Anything can happen at the drop of a hat, but maybe that’s why I’ve loved it for so long… building a relationship with such a magnificent creature is alot of work, but it’s worth it when your minds melt together and they understand every little cue that you give them, like they’re an extension of your body. Oh well, I’ll stop boring the hell out of you people. Just be glad you haven’t talked to me in person and had me go off on a tangent like that :)

Does anybody know somebody who wants to buy a set of 22 inch rims? If so.. message me, I’ll give you more details. That was random I know, but they’re sitting by the lamp and I’m staring at them in their blingy, chromey glory. [well aware those aren't words, but they had to be used].

Wellllllll. I’m gonna finish my coffee. Wake the boy up. Finish studying. Maybe I’ll write again later if I have time. I doubt I’ll be out drinking tonight so we’ll see.

OH!!!!!!!! I’m excited for spring break. Why!? It’s a secret. Well shane knows, and two other people know. It’s supposed to be kind of a surprise :)

Why I love it.

  • Mar. 13th, 2008 at 1:58 PM
Contrary to my last post, I do indeed love Florida. Why, you ask? Because I’m sitting outside on campus at a picnic table, on my laptop, enjoying the 75 degree weather. That’s right, in march :)

I know you hate me right now Jenna [did you send the tech savvy gunman to stalk me!? There are TWO pools here... you know what THAT means!!!!] but soon you’ll be here too :) I can’t believe you’re moving here! [I don't know why this turned into a random letter to you, general tsao, but I know you're probably the only one reading this haha... oh and PS.. if you're not Jenna and you're reading this... don't ask about the nickname] That means while shane’s in class we can frolic to the pool and swing on the swings at the playground! I don’t know what we’ll do with west… maybe he can tag along :) I’M SO EXCITED!! They do a bunch of shuttle launches over the summer at the kennedy space center too. So we’ll be going to cocoa beach to watch. Shane and I did that last year and it was amazing. The whole ground shook. If you do get that apartment next door that means we can play at night like the insomniacs we are while the boys sleep :)

and that is the end of my letter to you Jenna. I just found out when my induction is so I have to find something to wear.. my friends might be wearing little cute dresses so I guess that means I have to find a little cute black one to wear. I was advised against wearing heels because of all the standing… but can you really wear a cute dress without heels?!

I’m going riding after class, and maybe to the gym after with Julie depending on how much I get done when I get home. Fancy is coming along nice. [Fancy is a horse I'm working on and exercising for my friend. She has two horses but she's putting alot of time into her other one so she can show her in the summer. I'm working on Fancy to get her riding smoothly] She’s doing an amazing canter on right circles but I’m having a real problem having her canter a left circle smoothly. She’s alot different than the last two horses I’ve owned. With my last two horses I always had to fight to make sure they didn’t run off and try to kill me. I wish I still had them :( Stupid highschool and college. Riding wasn’t a problem, I’ve been doing it since I was 8, but owning horses and trying to train them when they have problems and juggle highschool/college is really hard. Hence why I had to sell them both. I plan on getting another horse once I finish school though. Well I have to go to Calculus and I’m pretty sick of writing haha.

Oh.

PS: I’m doing Relay For Life. If you’d like to donate to my team then send me an email or message me on AIM and I’ll get everything all set :) Thanks!

What about those lawn people?

  • Mar. 13th, 2008 at 10:37 AM
I was sleeping awesome last night. Was is the key word. I was happily sleeping and dreaming when sometime before 8 o clock [I don't know the exact time] the lawn people were whacking things right under our window. I think I just found the one thing I hate about living in Florida. They do the lawns all year round. That’s right, all year. There’s no snow to hide the grass so once every 2 weeks its guaranteed that they’ll be around whacking at 8[ish] in the morning. Don’t get me wrong, I love our apartment complex. It’s gated. beautimous. two pools. new. but enough with the lawn people! Can’t they wait til people are actually living and breathing in the morning!? Well okay I suppose half the complex is probably out working at 6 am, but what about us students that don’t go to bed until like 2-3 am? pssh. It’s bad enough they bent my license plate that one time with whatever that stupid gizmo is that they use to trim the edges of the sidewalk. Jerks. Oh well. I’m about to coffee and wake up so I can help the boy study for his mid-term. After that I have to go to my phi theta kappa meeting [yay] and listen to them talk about electing officers for next fall. What do I care?! I’ll be in UCF anyway. Did I ever mention that if you look down the road, there’s scion TC’s EVERYWHERE? They spawn here. Really they do. But there’s only one other blue pearl one that I’ve seen. But STILL, NY didn’t have that many when I bought mine!! COFEE-ING! bye.

mmm relaxation.

  • Mar. 12th, 2008 at 11:16 PM
IT FEELS SO GOOD TO RELAX!!! I’m completely vegging out right now and I’m loving it. I had so much to do today it was RIDICULOUS. I literally spent a good 5 hour studying. I had to do two tests for my online class, then I went back to campus at 8:30 to take my stupid economics test. Economics and I have a love hate relationship. I always avoided politics and things regarding the government, but when you take economics it opens your eyes to so many views and problems of the world. Once you start learning things like that, it’s impossible to shut your brain off. Not to mention it turns you into a big worrier. Try hearing about how Social Security is going to be abolished and how next time we go to war they’re drafting anybody 18 until retirement age, man or woman, school or not. They’ll TAKE YOU OUT of school and make you continue your education when you get back. How crazy is that!?

… yeah. this is what I mean. I’m sitting here blogging about politics. ARGH! 

Anyways, while I was on campus taking my test, my boy made me the yummiest dinner EVER! He’s quite the amazing cooker. I walked in and the apartment smelled like spaghetti sauce. mmmmmmmmmm. If I leaned against the wall and inhaled I would be in complete heaven. So I realize I’m going to be blogging a lot, but don’t mistake that for not having a life. What you don’t realize [which I mentioned in my first blog] is that I’m quite the efficient multi-tasker. So while I’m sitting here blogging, I’m also socializing, talking, doing homework, watching tv, being silly etc etc. I’m finally relaxing now so I should sleep well tonight. For anybody who hasn’t heard me bitch and moan about my sleeping, well I just don’t. Sleep that is. I can lay in bed forever and not fall asleep, and when I DO fall asleep, I don’t actually hit REM sleep. I just hover on the brink of it. And when that happens, I wake up in the morning feeling like I haven’t slept at all. The slightest noise wakes me up. A midget [that jenna bought from ebay obviously] could tiptoe across the kitchen floor and I’ll shoot up in bed. Yeah. REALLY not fun. Shane sleeps like a rock. A legit rock. I can shake him and probably haul him off the bed and he won’t wake up. Good for him- bad for me :) Okay well I’m off to do something else now.

What to write…

  • Mar. 12th, 2008 at 5:24 PM
Soooo, I started writing again. Not really for any reason in particular, because the people around me hear what I have to say on a daily basis anyway. BUT, the boyfriend mentioned the other day that I’d probably be surprised at how many people would actually read what I had to write. Now if you know me… you know I’m pretty nonsensical and I go off on random tangents about various things. When I jump from topic to topic, they aren’t related because the wheels in my head are turning 24/7. So while you’re still processing what I’m talking about, chances are I’m already way past that and thinking about something else. Apparently that makes for a good blog? We’ll see. I know Jenna will be stalking this [Lol] so that should make for some interesting input. I’m “studying” right now [I have my notes open but I can't concentrate] and am just generally bored, so this makes for a good thing to start this. Shane just showed me a preview for an upcoming design program [I think that's what it is anyway] called twitch. I WANT IT!!!!! I can’t even explain how utterly awesome it looks. You know all those weird scenes in horror movies? Where like… hmm how should I explain it… maybe creepy people are walking around, and the screen twitches and takes the outline of the people and forms white-noise for a momentary second? It’s used alot in scary horror and suspense-ish type movies. Well that’s what the whole preview was made of. And if that’s what the program can do, it’ll be fun to mess with. Knowing me I’ll probably be obsessed with it for a week and then find something else to play with… prooooooooobably not worth spending the money. It’s 75 degrees here and my palms are all sweaty. Yes. I have heard of air conditioning but it’s soooooo much nicer to have the door open and have the breeze. I am uber tired. Uber tired as in ‘I need a triple shot espresso or I may fall face down on the sidewalk’ kind of tired. As we all know though, I have an issue napping. I wish I could nap but it’s such an elusive idea to me. I just feel like I shouldn’t be sleeping, like there’s too many things going on for me to close my eyes during the day. I have enough trouble closing my eyes at night, I’m surprised I can even do it :) Anyways I should probably get back to ’studying’. Somehow I’ve mastered the art of blogging, studying, aiming and going back and forth across the apartment to see the boy’s work without losing my mind. Impressive? Eh.
