Yes Mom, of COURSE it's all my fault.

Fuck.
Urgh.

Random Thoughts I've been Storing Up

-I want to have a dog and I want to name it Puppy.

-How can internet dating be considered giving up when the whole point of internet dating is to meet someone?

-Anytime I promise to stay away from the computer for any amount of time, I am LYING

-I mean, it's not like one would completely stop trying to meet men in day to day life (back on the internet dating topic)

-"Sex can wait, masturbate!" Is so fun to say and one of my favorite comedy sketches. unfortunately, it is  inappropriate to bust out at family dinner with your Grandmother. Even more unfortunately, I speak from experience.

-A girl (me) can only go so long without a boyfriend (getting some) before she explodes (in a negative way, not the fun way).

- I'm extremely insecure about trying e-harmony (can you tell??)

-I need a hug

Stuck in the Friend Zone

story of my life. seriously. What is it about me that makes guys want to talk to me about their relationship issues?

Thoughts I just had

So... I can't believe I spent all that time posting pictures of really HOTT guys and you can't even see them now. Also I can't believe Demetri Martin made that list and Matt Damon did not.
Where are my priorities?

Anyway, my godmother's Nona died this week. She was well into her nineties and led a very fruitful and caring life, but details like that don't really help those grieving. My prayers are with the family, and I ask anyone reading this to ask whichever deity/greater reality you believe in to send a little pulse of hope and happiness to those grieving today. Thanks <3

..................oh, you're welcome. you are soooo welcome ;) 

p.s. as to the state of my "awesome" weekend: note that I am posting this late on Friday night....in my dorm room..... so obviously NOT out and "unabashedly drunk, as is the right and responsibility of any self respecting college student." 

story still developing.further details to come. 

THIS JUST IN: Weekend of Awesomeness Already Not as Awesome as Expected

that about sums it up. story still developing. further details to come.

10/7-10

I have the potential to have a TOTALLY AWESOME WEEKEND!!!

Tonight alone will be fantastic- I'm going with two of my roommates and two floormates to see The Lion King ( FOR FREE!!!) and first we are getting thai food, which is always good no matter which way you slice it.

Then tomorrow I might be getting together with one of the Interfaith Scholars to discuss her Earth based spirituality. (If you know me at all, which you might not if you're some random stranger who happened upon this blog and don't at present because I haven't been writing in it for very long you know that I'm absolutely fascinated by different religious traditions.) Also, I for sure will be going to a vigil on campus honoring the memory of gay students lost to suicide because of bullying. Even though this will be a somber event, I think it will feel good to TAKE SOME ACTION, to actually DO SOMETHING in response to the hate in this world, however small that action may be. Also the vigil is at 7:30, which leaves plenty of time afterward to go out and get unabashedly drunk, as is the right and responsibility of any self respecting college student.

Then Saturday, and this is the big one, I will, in all probability, be going to the BLACKHAWKS VS. RED WINGS GAME!!!!!!! I am such a HUUUUGE Detroit Red Wings fan.
I will probably be booed when cheering for my team,
but it's totally worth it.
Especially if we kick some Blackhawk ass.
Which I'm hoping we will :D

On Sunday I will be going to my last school's production of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare [Abridged], which promises to be full of hilarity. Plus, apparently I count as an alumn, and my ticket has been comped. Who knew only going to a semester to a conservatory, dropping out and effectively not graduating would lend itself to such perks?

So that's my potential weekend at a glance. I know there's nooooooooo waaaaaaaay your weekend could EVER compare to the potentially awesome one I'm about to have, but try not to be too jealous and enjoy it  anyway ;)

PPF (past present and future)

It's currently 1:36 p.m. and I just woke up.
It's also a Wednesday.
Lucky for me I don't have class until 2:40 today, so no problem there. But I really did plan on getting up, getting some work done, going to the gym- you know, actually being productive in college. But I had the best night's sleep ever, really. Or at least one of the best. ahhhhh.....

Well that's neither here no there. This weekend I've got two plays on the docket: The Lion King and The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged. The first is a professional musical (which EVERYONE should see at least once in their lifetimes) and the second is being put on by the conservatory I went to last year. Apparently going 1 semester makes me an alum and I get in for free, so whooopi! I mean, I would have gone anyways. I miss that theatre, miss the people.

Actually I haven't really seen anyone since I moved back to Chicago this semester. I saw two of my friends the very night I came back, for dinner with my folks, but no one since then. No, that's a lie, I ran into a fellow ditcher who also goes to DePaul now, but he was on his way to class and it was one of those quick, "O hey, how ya doin'?" moments. So that doesn't really count.

Also on Friday I have a meeting with my academic advisor to go over what classes I should be looking at for next quarter. As I'm still undeclared I suppose there'll be a lot of gen eds just waiting for me.

I seriously have no clue as to what I want to do with my life. I'm drawn to creative writing and film studies but I'm not confident that a career lies there for me down either of those roads.
I want to do something that will make a difference, really better the world.
But I'd be lying if I said money wasn't a factor.
It totally is.
I want to travel, I want to have kids, I want to do all this stuff that requires a decent pay check.

Also I'm a commitment-phobe. Really, I can't stand being tied down by something. Making plans too far in advance gets to me, because what if something better pops up? Or, more likely, what if I change my mind? I feel like it would work the same way with me in the professional workforce. I couldn't stand being tied down to a 9-5 desk job with 2 weeks vacation every year. I need the freedom to improvise!

On the flipside, I also crave stability. I would totally be freaking out if I didn't have a steady flow of income.

And I need something to feed my soul, something creative.

.......I got nothing.

TGIT

With no friday classes to speak of, I'm off to enjoy my typical 3 day weekend- be jealous ;)

Some highlights of the past week:

• getting a 100% on my first paper for WRD this quarter :)
• coming back to Chicago and my roomies/comfy bed
• having chinese food DELIVERED to our dorm last night :D (for free, I might add)
• chick flick night with the girls, affording another opportunity to giggle/sigh our way through "Letters to Juliet" 
• finishing the entire series of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" on dvd (again)
• discovering A.J. Jacobs has a new book out
• purchasing said book for half the cost thanks to Borders Rewards :)

Some things to look forward to this weekend:

• MY BESTIE IS COMING TO VISIT ME!!!!
• the chance to get free Lion King tickets
• dorm trip to the Lincoln Park Zoo
• whatever wild and crazy parties we degenerate college students will find ;) 

More Disclaimers

I like to talk a lot. About me, specifically. I have a theory that I've been in therapy for so long, that the need to talk openly and ridiculously extensively about myself has kind of been programmed in. So I'm a bit self involved. That's one of the reasons I'm doing this blog. It's a nice. easy way to put everything out there to the world, while at the same time refraining from actually forcing anything on anybody. 

What I have to say is not important. No really, it's not. You might on occasion catch a glimpse of some personal, philosophical victory, but the likelier case is a post about hot male celebrities, or some bitch in class annoying the hell out of me.

You've been warned :) 

Things I Don't Get

I don't get...

-people who think Baz Lurhman's Romeo + Juliet was a bad idea

-the NHL commissioner

-people who say good christians don't drink; one of the miracles was the Messiah turning water into wine. [People, Jesus WANTS you to drink ;)]

-strait people who think it's their business what two consenting same sex adults do with one another

-my father not understanding that sometimes a girl is not a slut- sometimes the guy is

-guys who think they too get to claim a "time of the month"

-vegans who smoke

-people who peak in high school

-how a person could grow up sans disney

- why so many people don't understand the plot of Inception

-how anyone could love the Rolling Stones over Aerosmith

-spouses who cheat on each other and go through the hassle of hiding it, instead of just being swingers

-baseball as America's pastime

-college graduates who say things like, "she don't know me."

-people who don't understand what is wrong with the above sentence

-able pro-life supporters who don't have foster children

-Twihards who only watch the movies and "can't wait to find out how it all ends!" but won't pick up the book THAT WOULD TELL THEM

-the need to still raise the Confederate flag

-why the drinking age is randomly at 21

-people who can't tell the difference between an adverb and adjective

-people who think the Moon is a planet

-Sarah Palin

-guys who lead with tongue

-people who think the Holocaust didn't happen

-lots more......maybe I should do this once a week- flush out all the negativity?

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover.....

You know how something weird happens to you during the day, or you see something totally random, and you just gotta blab to somebody about it? Like, you see a girl whose pink panties are showing and you can see the little duck on the back peeking up out from under her jeans? Like, who really cares about the little duck on this random chick's panties? You probably don't even really care all that much, but you still have to tell someone!

My friends call these "boyfriend comments."

Because only your boyfriend will sit there and listen to this random stuff.

Because he has to. It's in the job description.

Well, I don't have a boyfriend. And I have a lot to say. Most of it being ridiculously unimportant to the population at large. 

Solution? BLOG! I figure it's perfect: I get to say all this random shit that comes popping into my head all the time without cornering some unsuspecting friend and saying, "Listen, I know you have things to do, people to see, blah blah blah, but guess what? I have an opinion about something again!"

So here it is, Universe, all the crap that is shuffling around inside my head at any given time. 

Enjoy.

Or don't. That's kind of the whole point :)

For the record, I maintain the right to change my mind and be as erratic as I want to be. I make no promises regarding the frequency of posts and I'm gonna say what I want, even if you don't agree. Which is great! No, seriously, if anyone actually ever really reads this, tell me when I'm wrong! I'm bursting with ideas, but I can't be the only one :) 

As to the title, I tend to over think these things. So this time, I didn't :) 

(I like limes in my water. And the waitress never brings me one the first time I ask.)
