Looking forward to...

I'm going to Australia!! Sydney, Australia, to be specific. And not until after I graduate from my current school (in, 2008). But I'm still very excited!! Yes, there's better things I could do... such as save my credit card instead of spend it.. but i mean come on! It's Australia! At least I've given up on moving there, which I used to swear I was going to do (since I was about 5). The least I can do is visit, and I will!
And now I'm going to sleep to dream about my trip. haha I wish.

What I did on my winter vacation/break...

I watched a bunch of movies today. My dad's been home a lot lately (instead of working at his business and making money) as a result of his depression/bipolarness, and since I'm not working over this break (because I'm lazy) I've spent a lot of time watching movies, which is something my dad likes to do (when he can stay awake long enough).

Today I watched Passenger 57, which has a bad guy thats just too deadpan and freaky for me. I mean, of course the plot wasn't all that great, but its better than a lot of the movies I've seen lately. I also watched the latest War of the Worlds. It wasnt too bad. I had a hard time dealing with all of the special effects, because I mean come-on, I'm all for great effects but I think there's a limit to how many things can blow up/crack open/fall down/etc in a 30second span. But I knew that the special effects were going to be there going into the movie, so I expected it and aside for a few comments I just shutup and enjoyed them. And the movie wasnt as long as I expected (I was expecting 3hours, it was 2) but with the last half hour or so to go I was ready for it to be over. There's just a limit I have, I guess. And, without spoiling it for those who havent seen it, the ending wasn't to my satisfaction. However, watching those 2 movies (even if I do gripe about them) was definetly preferable to how I spent the rest of my day... cleaning.

Hmm, watch movies or clean (with my mom, who has to have things done a certain way to a certain standard)? Which would you pick? ;)

(as promised- here's yesterdays post)-- In a sappy sappy mood

I guess thats what happens when you spend most of the week watching those romantic/comedy holiday movies that they tend to show by the shovelful this time of year. And that's what I've been doing. Watching those movies, thinking how absolutely corny they are and yet they still make me a bit... wistful.

Is it such a bad thing that I want some of this 'love' stuff for myself? I've never been in love. Well, I've had crushes and such, and I've loved people as friends and maybe a bit more, but nothing that was anywhere close to this ever elusive 'love' that everyone seems to be acquainting themselves with quite frequently.

I suppose it must be these movies that are making me so rather sappy. Sure, I'll blame the movies and ignore that I've felt like this for awhle now. Afterall, love right now would be awfully inconvenient. I've my whole life to live, why get boggled down now? And I'm not even sure I believe in love. It's probably something made up for movies and those dramatic type people (which believe it or not, even though you can't tell from this blog, I'm not all that dramatic of a person- I prefer things down-to-earth and calm), and is non-existent in reality.

I suppose I'll never figure it out really, unless/until it actually happens. Til then, I'm going to play the role of an ostrich and stick my head in the sand, its safer that way (and warmer too!).

I'm writing this in Notepad right now, because when I felt in the mood to actually write a post, I felt I needed to do it right away, even if our internet was being stupid and wouldn't let me online. Besides, this way I get to write it in a pretty font (monotype corvisa, 12pt) and then just copy paste it into the blogger box. *smiles*

And no, I did not forget that it's Christmas- or Kissmas as I like to call it because it can encompass everyone, not just those who believe in Christ. So Merry Christmas to the Christians, and Merry Kissmas to everyone (Christian or not). I hope everyone has a good rest-of-the-year, and if that's not possible, well, just remember- the year's almost over soon so look forward to that. I plan to celebrate bringing in the New Year by alternating between being online and counting-down the seconds with my family. Maybe even with a drink or two, if I'm so inclined. *wink*

I'll try to blog before the New Year rolls around, but I never know if I will... if someone wants me to, feel free to send me an email (link's on the side) and yell at me to write. Or leave a comment, since I check like a million times a day. I may be a tad OCD...

And on that note... Merry Kissmas and have a Happy Safe Fun Magically Delightful New Year's eve.

i blogged yesterday! honestly!

I did! But... my internet wasn't working, and so I couldn't get online. But I saved it, so I'll post it sometime in the next day or so.

About time, eh?

So new template, in case you hadn't noticed. It's different since there's no image up top, but I think it's actually rather pretty for some reason. Anyway, credit goes to http://pinkfreak.niftykeen.net/design for this, because, as any of you who may have happened to visit my site during the editing would know, I am horribly inept at this whole template thing.
This template is pretty suitable, since at the moment I am laying in bed working from my laptop and i'm freezing! I think my nose will just fall off from frostbite soon!
Anyway, any problems viewing/etc let me know and I'll try to get it worked out. Let me know what you think!

oh yea, hi rob! ;)

oops

OOps, I forgot to post. And not only did I forget to post, but I forgot to change the template. Oops. I'll get right on that. As soon as I find one I like...


My email page isn't working right now... nor is my host page... I'm hoping it's just temporary or I may just go crazy...


I'm back from school now, for a month. Until Jan 15th. It's going to be weird. It is already. I'm not used to being home. My dad got drunk today, was grumbling and freaking out about pretty much anything, in a generally hyper and cranky way. It was so annoying. Do you know what it's like to breathe a sigh of relief when someone finally falls asleep... and then to not want to flush the toilet for fear it wakes them and you'll have to hear everything all over again? It's pretty stressful and it's what I'm dealing with now that I'm at home. And quite frankly, I'd rather not. And I miss just hanging out at school... I definetly don't miss the schoolwork though. Could survive perfectly fine without having to ever do another final exam...

Ok, enough of my babbling on. I have 4 people I'm talking to at the moment, and that's so rare that I'm going to take the time and enjoy it while it lasts :)

woe woe woe feelings..

I feel so extremely inadequate lately. In everything. School and personal stuff. The only thing I felt good about was my writing class, and that's almost over now.

me? a librarian??

Hahah Storm's comment (see last post) just inspired me to get the template up/working tonight. I guess I could be mistaken for a librarian... depends how you think of librarians. And anyway, school's almost over!! well, for the break anyway. Can't have these dusty ol' books hanging around during kissmas vacation now can i?
Update: Sorry, I lost the credits for the template i was working on somehow, and so now i have to either find them again (which i've been trying to do) or get a new template and work on that. *sigh*

sNOw!

Just thought I'd let everyone know I'm working on editing a winter template. It has snow, even though I hate it. But it's a decent template and you know what? It's a winter template, so it SHOULD have snow. Even if snow is evil. (I say this from experience, having almost died on Friday night because of it.)
So yes, new template soon... by the end of this weekend definetly, if not sooner.

you'd think it was turkey-day

So far my weekend has been spent:
being almost killed sliding in the snow/ice down a hill in a van driven by a guy that doesnt know how to drive in the snow...
getting filled and then some going out to eat with my roomates+1
buying my parents xmas present (and it's really perfect too!)
going shopping and spending only a little over $20

and in about an hour i'm going to go eat brunch... and then do homework? Or sleep...

lazy weekend :)
