Blurb of the Day

So I'm sitting in the student center right now by myself because Jordan just left and I definitely just had a guy come up and tap me on the shoulder and tell me "you look really cool." Which I can't blame him, I mean, I I've got a cute outfit on and am typing up a storm on my Mac. Haha, just kidding. But yeah, kinda made my day in a weird way. He didn't seem like a weird stalker type person. lol. But anyways, I'll update more later tonight. Peace.

Song for January 2009

So I got this idea from another blog I stumbled across, and I really like it. I am going to pick a song at the end of each month for all of 2009 that describes how I felt about that month. Here is my pick for January of '09.

The Fray: Syndicate

enjoy the song. :]

Halfway around the world
Lies the one thing that you want
Buried in the ground, hundreds of miles down
First thing that arises in your mind while you awake
Bending you til you break
Let me hold you now

Baby close your eyes
Don't open til the morning light
Baby don't forget
You haven't lost it all yet

Don't know what your made of
Til the one thing that you want
To come in with the dawn and suddenly changes
Monday, syndicate me, its everyone the same
But all we've lost to the flame
Listen to me now

Baby close your eyes
Don't open til the morning light
Don't ever forget
We haven't lost it all yet
All we know for sure
Is all that we are fighting for
Baby don't forget
We haven't lost it all yet

Someday when this is over
We mix it up, no answer
For now its when I hold her
We are closer, we are closer
We are closer, we are closer

Baby close your eyes
Don't open til the morning light
Don't ever forget
We haven't lost it all yet
And all we know for sure
Is all that we are fighting for
Baby don't forget
We haven't lost it all yet

We are closer
we are closer
(We haven't lost it all yet)
Now we are closer
(We haven't lost it all yet)
We are closer

Randomosity

I'm working on my website project for New Media right now and I kinda want to throw my computer out the window, but instead I will refrain and take a break from that and just write a random blog.

I love Pavement so much. This band is my musical soulmate. And I don't use that term lightly. They are the only boys that have never let me down. Even if they aren't reuniting to play at Coachella this year. Someday soon they will reunite and I will totally see them live someday.

I want someone who will stay up all night sitting outside drinking hot chocolate with me stargazing and talking about anything and everything. I want someone who will stay up all night to watch the sun rise with me, just because. Someone who will sleep in late with me on Saturdays and read the paper and drink coffee with me. I want to find my perfect match. I'm slowly realizing this as I am coming out of my jaded phase. I really do want something like this, I'm just scared that when I find that again I'll just get bored after a year or two again. How do married couples stay together for so long? Maybe I just can't wrap my mind around that yet because I'm still young, but it just amazes me that two people can stay happy for that long together. My parents always told me that you go through ups and downs in marriage and that real love is sticking with that person through all of it. And I understand that, I do. But when do we know when the right time for that is? Is it a certain age, or when we meet a certain person we just know? I'm not sure yet.

I want to spend more time communing with nature. I have a whole bunch of nature around me, but I hardly ever go out and experience it. Maybe one day a week I will go sit by the pond and read or go explore in the arboretum.

I never thought I would become an avid coffee drinker. I used to hate the taste of coffee, even when it was mixed in with other flavors like certain drinks at Starbucks. But now I enjoy black coffee. I can't really function properly without coffee. I guess that's what happens when you get older. New acquired tastes.

After college I just really want to take a couple months and backpack through Europe. I want to save up some money and do that before I start working in the real world. I want to see the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben and all the museums and history Europe has to offer. I want to try new foods and broaden my cultural horizons. I want to go to Ireland and Italy and see the places my ancestors are from. I want to feel a connection to something in my family's past. I just want more answers to life's infinite mysteries.

My Week So Far...

This week has been going really great so far. Yesterday was one of the best days I have had in awhile. Woke up and went to my Feature Writing class and then grabbed some lunch and headed back to my room for awhile. Then I had to go do a little interview for the article i was working on about the Board of Regents, and that was pretty easy. Then the roommate and I went grocery shopping and came back and ate dinner, which sucked as usual. Later that night I went to Flashbacks with my sorority for a rush event, and we had a really good time. I was sitting with a couple girls who also work at the paper with me, and we were just talking about stuff at the paper and a bunch of guys in the Com department that we all know and love....Fun times. :] And the weather was perfect yesterday as well. Today has been ok so far. I woke up at 7:30 this morning. I went and got breakfast and then Starbucks because I am going to have a very long day. Then I went to my two Marketing classes and then hung out in the UC for awhile with Jordan before lunch. Now I'm just wasting time before my next two classes and then work at the paper later. Hopefully the rest of the day will go by smoothly. I'm starting to really enjoy this semester. I'm really going to try hard and make good grades on all my tests coming up in the next couple weeks. So anyways, I have just discovered my new favorite band: Fiction Family. It's the guy from Switchfoot and one of the guys from Nickel Creek combined. Last.fm told me I've listened to them almost 80 times in the last 24 hours. lol. But they fit well with my outlook on life right now. :]

Groundhog Day= No Bueno

Today was a really awkward day. My alarm went off around 8:15 and I was so exhausted from only getting 4 or 5 hours of sleep that I barely remember shutting it off. I had a 9 a.m. and a 10 a.m. class and definitely didn't wake up until 11. Bad. I really wanted to be better about not skipping class this semester, but old habits die hard. I woke up and didn't really do anything too productive for the first couple hours I was awake. It was really weird though, because my roommate also overslept. She woke up around 10 and saw that I was still asleep so she thought it was Sunday and just passed back out. She slept until 2 p.m. so that makes me feel a little better about myself. lol. Then I found out I had to run the paper meeting today because the editor had something come up, so I had to head over to the office to prepare for that. Then I went to Anthropology and that was kind of boring today especially because my roommate wasn't there since she was still sleeping. Then I went to the meeting and it was alright. I have a column to write for the next issue, and got stuck with writing a major article because nobody wanted to take it. I don't mind, I'm just really busy this week because we have rush events each night plus school plus newspaper. But anyways, everything will work out like always I'm sure. I blame Groundhog Day. :P

Superbowl and Rainy Nights

I have class at 9 a.m. tomorrow. It's almost 1 a.m. And I'm not tired at all. That's what I get for accidentally sleeping in until 2 p.m. yesterday and noon today. Oh well. So the Superbowl was today. I really could care less about football but of course I am always excited for food and commercials. Went over to Kevin's cause he and Jordan were having a Superbowl party, and that was fun. Basically just chilled on the couch for a few hours to watch the game, and it was pretty good. Then The Office was on for an hour, and it was reallyyyy funny tonight. I also started back up at work today. It's a lot more work than being Entertainment Editor. But I don't mind, because I really enjoy it and need the experience. We actually got the whole paper laid out in about three hours, which is really good. This semester is going to be good hopefully at the newspaper. Now I'm just listening to the rain and thunder and hoping it keeps raining until the morning so I can wear my new rainboots. :]

Come A Little Closer Baby

I heart Dierks Bentley. Thanks to reading old Myspace comments from like 2006 tonight I remembered my affirmation of country music from back then. So I proceeded to download his CD Modern Day Drifter and am now listening to it and thinking about a bunch of high school memories. Some of which I would rather not remember too clearly. Going shopping and to Starbucks everyday after school with Diane were great times. Going to the park and out to eat and to Target. We had such carefree times back then. First loves and first dates. First heartbreak. That feels like another lifetime ago. Which I guess it should, it's just so weird to think how different times were. Well anyways......

today was alright. accidentally slept in until almost 2 p.m. Whoops! But yes, just got ready for the day and then the roommate and I went to Subway for dunch. Then I met up with Jordan and Kevin and his sister in the arboretum so Jordan could take pictures for her digital photography class. Then we went back to the apartment and played Canasta. Then we moved on to the Wii and played some bombing game and then mario kart from the old school nintendo which i hadn't played in a good decade. Then Jenna and Jeryca came over and we started playing the game Ghost in the Graveyard, which is basically hide and seek in the dark with the seeker blindfolded. Fun times were had by all. But yes, now it's 2:30 a.m. and I have to be at work at 1 tomorrow. Normal people don't have to set their alarm in order to be awake before noon, but then again I'm not normal.
