It's amazing what a week can do for you.

Life hasn't been that stressful to be honest. I had a pretty easy semester and everything ran smoothly. But i just got a complete reload over this weekend.

I got to spend the weekend with my mom's side of the family and it was amazing! Almost the whole family was there. it would have been nice to see my Aunt Tammy, Uncle Jamie and Grandma Judy but we had a good turn out nonetheless. Everyone made the effort to make it and to come and it was great to see everyone.

I even got to spend a few extra days with my cousin at her place after the weekend.

It's just been a great week. it was so good to see everyone and to talk and catch up on stuff. I love my family. they really are there for you no matter what. I couldn't have asked for a better (or crazier) family than this one.

Thanks to you all for being so awesome and making this weekend spectacular!

negativity is a creepin

So in the past week or so 2 of the most negative people in my life have tried to contact me on facebook. I'm not really sure why either. A part of me thinks that they have ulterior motives. The other part of me thinks that maybe they are sorry or have changed and want to make amends.

Well the whole of me says... Why should I even bother with you? Reforging our relationships even in a minute way will not add anything to my life and may, in fact, hurt me (again) in the end.

I've considered rekindling the friendships that we had. I've talked it over with those I trust. The conclusion is always that it is not worth my time. I have built an amazing future for myself and by no means do I intend to ruin that. I've worked so hard to get where I am. I have stumbled, cried and picked myself up again to carry on.
I don't need you weighing me down.

A little story for you

Hello again!

Today I have a little story for you. This was an assignment for my Children’s Literature class. We had been talking about religious stories and how there were several different versions of those stories depending on the author, age group and other things.  We were told to write our own version of Noah’s Ark for a particular age group. I chose to write for a group of 8-10 year olds. I’m posting this on here because my teacher really liked it (yes, I have gold star syndrome) and I am particularly proud of it.

Grampa Noah’s Story
Gather ‘round and let me tell of the day God told me to build an ark. Y’see, times had gotten quite rotten and God had it made up that he would make it right again. So he told yer Grampa Noah to build and build and gather and gather. So that I did! Two by two they came. Yer pa’s, they helped me lots they did! When the doors closed the rain did start a-pourin’! Yer lovely gramama and ma’s, theycooked might good meals fer forty days and forty nights. Mighty good meals! Then at last the did stop and yer grampa Noah sent out a rave. That bugger came back empty-beaked he did! So the next week yer grampa Noah sent out a pretty lil dove and he brought back a bright green olive branch! Ooohhh how we danced and praised God! We landed the next week and what d’ya know?! There was a band o’ color in the sky. God’s promise, y’see, that a flood like that would never happen again. Now off to yer chores youngins!


Hahaha now I’m completely embarrassed but I hope you enjoyed it anyways.

New place

I moved into my new place on Sunday. It actually didn't take as long as I thought it would to move in. I only have one room but still it only took about 4-5 hours. Which isn't bad at all! I'm pretty excited about the place. I will be living with Ward, the home owner, and his two Pomeranians. He is looking for a third roommate right now and then we'll be spiffy! Here are some pics for you all who didn't see them on Facebook.














Yay for a room! haha! I'll get pictures of the rest of the house later.

Till next time!

This weekend and Friday Fill In

New layout again

I know... I can't make up my mind. I really should just design my own. Until I stop procrastinating you can deal with this one.

So this weekend is going to be busy busy busy! I am applying for jobs. Lots of jobs. All kinds of jobs. I also am attending Leah's Dessert Party that she hosts every year. I hope it'll be fun. And then I am moving out of here on Sunday and to my new place with my new roommate, Ward. I'm anxious and excited. Vin has been great and reminding me to relax myself this whole week because I've just been in a tizzy all week. I've got half my stuff packed and thank you so much to my mom who gave me a ginormous suitcase full of moving essentials. It's been in my back seat since last weekend when i received it. I look like I've been moving all week haha! i bought a laundry basket too so that's been in the back too. I actually moved the basket to our room in Leah's house so now the room is filled with folded laundry, 2 suitcases and that basket. I think there will be more. Hopefully not. I'm trying to keep it as clean as possible with Leah in super cleaning mode for her party tomorrow evening. We'll see how it all goes. I'm going to do this fill in and then get some food and pack some more.

So...here we go!

1. While the cat's away the dogs play?

2. Dessert parties are fabuloso!

3. Children belong in the coal mines..... kidding!.

4. I would like a kiss, hug and to have strawberries dipped in chocolate presented to me when I get home from work or shopping or what have you.

5. This may seem odd, but I'm not celebrating Halloween this year :(.

6. I'm moving this Sunday and that seems like a fine idea to me!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to cleaning, packing and maybe a scary movie, tomorrow my plans include more packing and then a Dessert Party!! and Sunday, I want to MOVE IN TO MY NEW PLACE!!!!!

Thoughts on a Wedding


I just recently got back from my cousin’s wedding. These events always get me thinking about future plans and how I would conduct the events.

My cousin had a beautiful wedding. It was small, simple and had a Texas flair of course (she wore cowboy boots under her dress at the ceremony, he donned a cowboy hat at the reception, and their first dance together was of course…. 2 step). There were a lot of fun moments. Pretty much everyone on our side of the family showed up. That was great because I hadn’t seen some of them in so long! I got to see my cousin Kitty and Great Aunt Lavern (because she’s the greatest :-p) who I hadn’t seen since I was maybe 13 years old. Both my grandparents, my 2 aunts and my uncle were there too. It was just great to see everyone.

I love weddings. I always have. And even though I love them, I have so many problems with them. At least when it comes to my own personal application of them. I have never been a very traditional girl. I try to fit in that mold at times but it never really works. I do want the dress, the ceremony, the cake, the honeymoon, but I think that if I actually executed my wedding it would be far from traditional.

The first problem is that I am not religious at all and if Vin is the one I am going to marry (I’m crossing my fingers here) then he isn’t very religious either. Both of us would be happy to do a Justice of the Peace type deal. I just don’t think I would be comfortable with any religious figure officiating my wedding. Heck! It would make my day if Darth Vader officiated!

My second problem is the amount of people that would be attending the wedding and all the planning that would go into that. We both have large families who would want to be involved. I’m not upset about this. I would be more than happy to have our families with us to celebrate our day but then that means that it wouldn’t really be our day. The months before hand would be spent planning to accommodate everyone else: what is the most compatible dinner menu? Where can I seat everyone so that they are all included? What kind of attire should I wear? Will it offend anyone? Who do I involve in the wedding party? How do I involve them? When is the most convenient time to have it so everyone can be there? I love my family and I love Vin’s family but these plans do not fit my ideal of what a marriage should be.

Marriage is a union between two people. It shows that the two are promising to be committed to each other for who they are for the rest of their life no matter what happens. I don’t believe that it should include everyone and their brother. It should be OUR day. If I was to completely have it my way I don’t think I would even wear a white dress. The white dress just has too much symbolism to it that I just don’t seem to fit with.  I would probably wear a dress but nothing traditional in the American sense at all. And I know Vin isn’t comfortable in a suit so why subject him to that torture?

I’m not one of those people who want to get married because it’s my duty in this Christian world. I’m not one who wants to get married just for the tax breaks and insurance benefits. I am someone who is materialistic enough to want to put our emotional commitment on paper and symbolize it in precious metal. I am someone who loves someone enough to tie myself to them for the rest of my life with an official movement. I am someone who wants to get married because I want to physically show that I am committed to this life and that I love no other man but the man that I have chosen to marry.

What it is to feel.... nothing....

Have you ever just wanted to crawl in a hole and disappear but you're not depressed?  I have this feeling today. I just want to disappear. I want to disappear from myself as well. I can only describe it as wanting to literally not exist for a few hours. It's not a matter of I want time to myself where I can read, watch a movie, or listen to music. I literally want to feel nothing. I want to go into a comatose state. Haven't you ever wondered what that felt like? What would it feel like to literally feel nothing?(haha)

I swear I'm not depressed, stressed, angry, anxious, or any other self destructive emotion. I'm just female and dealing with nature's gift. ^_^

October is around the corner

So October is coming up. I don't know about you but I'm pretty excited! I have 2 plays to go to (Fuddy Meers and The Children's Hour) for class, a screenwriting workshop, and maybe a trip to a haunted house.

I haven't been to a play in years and I can't wait to go again. I hope they are good.

My boss had mentioned in my initial interview that there was a screenwriting workshop in October which I was welcome to attend. I haven't heard anything more about it but I'm hoping that the invitation is still open because I would love to dabble in some screenwriting.

I think the last time I went to a haunted house was when I was around 8 or 9 and I went with the girl who lived with us. We were on a camping trip of some sorts and there was one down the road from us. I can't remember why I decided to go but wow was I freaked out! I never had a desire to go to another haunted house again. Well we got a coupon for a haunted house on the Erie county fairgrounds and Vin wants to go. It's been a few years, maybe I can handle it (yah right!). Anyways, it's a reason for Vin to get out of the house and for us to spend some time together (even though I'll prolly pee my pants from fear!).



September was a great month for me and I'm sad to see it leave but life goes on. I made some great friends, attended a film festival (an experience of a lifetime), got to see my family, tried clams for the first time, saw my college football team, got a library card, and some other stuff.

All in all, it's been a good month and I'm so ready for October to come :)

ancient

Ignorance
(~2007)


Stumbling down unknown paths
Of frightful thruths
Show me not the truth of man
Ignorance rapture me
Away from the chaos
Allow not my eyes to see
The world as it comes
Stitch my eyes
And block corruption
I walk footsteps of one who is Damned
Ignorance take me
Save me from who I am

Double Feature

Promises
(~2007)

why do people make promises? 
it's not like they're going to keep them
"i will never hurt you"
"you won't be disappointed"
"I'll be there for you, always"
you can't keep those all the time
and you know it
don't promise me those things

promise me it's going to be hard but you're going to try
promise me that you may screw up but you're going to be sorry
promise me that when you can't be there when i need you, you'll make up for it.

promise me









 
Who am I?
(~2007)

"Who am I?"

She looked in the mirror. The eyes staring back at surely couldn't belong to her. the body couldn't be hers. who was she? Who was this alien body?

so much had changed in so little time. Some good some bad had happened. Some days were some. Some bad.

She felt desperate some days. And she didn't care on others.

Ever morning she looks in the mirror and wonders who she really is. She wonders why she feels certain ways on different days.

Who are her friends? Who can she trust?
Why can she never trust anyone the way she wants to?
Is she even worth the time people give to her?

Somedays she just wants to sit in the tub with a razor blade
Somedays she wants to surround herself with friends and laugh her a** off
Somedays she wants to be with a special guy who can make her feel so beautiful
Somedays she wants to make her parents proud and have one of those "family moments"
Somedays she just doesn't want to give a f**k and do what she wants regardless of the consequences.

Somedays...


Everyday she looks in the mirror and whispers

"Who am I?"

A little new. a little old

While looking through everything yesterday I found this picture that I had edited

It brought me back to when Vin & I first started dating and the love he has shown me over the years. I remember vividly the emotions I felt at one time and the reason this picture was created. I wrote a poem last night to expand on it.




don't speak
(sept 2010)
don’t speak. love.
touch. caress.
kiss me. hold me.
words hold no power here.
breathe baby
soft nibbles on my ear
bring me close
closer, love.
trembling
shhhh
don’t speak. love.










the creativity is back. the passion is back.
(^_^)

Old writings

I was going through some old stuff and found some of my old writings.


Tell Her You Never Cared
(~2006)

Look in her eyes and tell her its over - you don't love her. Tell her she means nothing to you. Tell her she disappointed you and you never want to see her again. Now walk away and don't look back when you hear her cry. Walk away and swear you'll never miss her. Swear you'll never miss the way she looked into your eyes, how she smelled, how she hugged you. Swear you'll never forget how she sounded on the phone just before she fell asleep, or the way she said your name. Don't turn around!. Keep walking away from the one person who truly loved you. When she calls you tonight and tells you in wavering voice that she'll miss you and that she loved you, tell her you're busy and hang up on her without hesitation. When she doesn't show up at school tomorrow because she put a bullet through her heart, don't cry because you never really cared at all.



I think i may be posting some old writings from now on until i catch up to where I am now. :)

TIFF

Wow! What an amazing experience!

This weekend was just absolutely amazing! I had the opportunity to go to the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) thanks to my school!

We had the most amazing time!  I met 22 amazing people and great friends.

I would love to write more about this but i am just completely exhausted and need to get to bed. Early rise for BNFF tomorrow.

I promise to tell you all about it!

Till next time

Introducing The NEW Sharpie LIQUID PENCIL – UPDATED

Has anyone seen this?!?!

It's only completely awesome!



Oh! and Hello! I have found time to write! More like I have made time. I am so excited for TIFF tomorrow that there is no way I can go to bed when I should. I was supposed to go to bed an hour ago. That didn't pan out so I've been packing and checking and re-checking and perusing the internet, oh and watching a so-so anime.

And then Vin and I were talking about pens... because they are becoming a passion of mine.... and he had tried my calligraphy pen out the other day and liked it. (do I have enough "and's" in here yet?) So he has done research and i have become painfully aware of my lack of research lately and so yes we have discussed it for a hot minute (haha)

And now... my music is done uploading (I am adding music to my iPod for the trip to toronto) and i should probably at least try to get to bed since I have to be up at 5:30. humm well keep an eye on my TIFF blog at www.tiffwitht.blogger.com as that will be updated way too much this weekend.

Until Next time!

Labor Day weekend re-cap

So this weekend was pretty awesome.

Saturday I decided to go to Darien Lake amusement park with the school. They had free tickets ^_^ It was soooooooooo freaking cold!!!!!! It was already in the low 60s and then  it was so windy that it just made it so much worse. On top of that it threatened to rain, the roller coaster I had been looking forward to ride was closed, we were there for 7 long hours and I didn't know anyone at first. Someone did come talk to me while we all waited for the buses (that were an hour late). His name as Brandon. Through him I met Ray, "Buffalo", Junimar (?) and Leidy. Leidy and I really clicked later on in the night and so did "Buffalo" and I, a little bit. I am slightly more confident now that I have made some acquaintances.

Sunday I got a package from my mother (I really got it Saturday but I didn't get home 'till really late and so i was too tired to open it). What an awesome package! I got 2 of my favorite treats: homemade rice krispy treats and maple sugar candy!!! mmmmmmmm ^_^ Then it was time for Gma Jacque's Labor Day party. That was cold but fun. It was just family but still fun :). There was so much food! And it was all so good! She had the fire pit going the whole time and I spent most of the afternoon and evening by it or inside. I also had about 8 roasted marshmallows for dessert.

Today was pretty laid back. I did laundry and tidied the room a bit. I finished The Count of Monte Christo finally!!! OMG what a great book! The movie is completely off. The revenge that he gets is just so awesome! The book definitely wins!

I'm ready to get this week started. I have an unprecedented new outlook on my daily tasks now. I have a longing to take everything more seriously and work hard for the best possible results.

New tasks have been assigned to me at my internship (from now on it will be referred to as BNFF because I am sick of calling it 'the/my internship'). This will take up some time so I may not be able to frequent the blog as often as I would like. Also, I am picking up some new personal hobbies that will require some of my time. I will do my best to keep updating this blog.

ALSO, my trip to Toronto International Film Festival is this Saturday!! I have set up a new account that you can check out here. This blog will (hopefully) have updates from all the students and other info on the event. I'm still adding widgets and tweaking the code but I can at least post! ^_^

Welll... it's late and I need to get to bed.


'Till Next Time!

Friday Fill In (oops)

Ooops! I missed yesterday. I got so involved in stuff that I completely forgot it was Friday.

Happy Labor Day weekend to all who celebrate it. And...here we go!

1. Family can be complicated.

2. Going to Darien Lake this weekend: back and forth.

3. I love a cup of hot tea in the morning.

4. Steak (medium), mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans and a croisant makes a good meal.

5. I've got the lonely blues. I need to make a friend here in Buffalo!!

6. I saw a cop pull over TWO people at once the other day: wth!!!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to that would be last night, so I had waffles for dinner, watched ConAir and cuddled with my Kuma, tomorrow my plans include That would be today and I'm debating on going to Darien Lake or just staying at home and relaxing and Sunday, I want to go to Gma Jaque's Labor Day Party (or is that Monday? I don't remember)!

2nd day of BSC & Wishlist Wednesday

Hello!

2nd day of school today! First, however, was a meeting for my trip to the Toronto International Film Festival. I am suuuperrrr excited for this! It's only 10 days away! yaya!! I will be starting a new side blog for it soon. I have it set up but i haven't posted anything yet and I'm being ridiculously picky about the background (dumb I know).

Just a fun side note before I get into Wishlist Wednesday: Vin has recently discovered how clumsy he is. In the last 24 hours he has stubbed his pinky toe on each foot on the SAME SPOT!.... Spilled something on 2 of 3 chairs in the living room and spilled the dogs water bowl in the garage! I love my clumsy geek :)

And now....

WISHLIST WEDNESDAY!

This week has a theme: Things I have discovered would be helpful at BuffState

1) A windshield sunshade that looks like the inside of the Millenium Falcon! oh yah! I got nerdy with a sunshade!
2) The Bic Duo! Best writing invention since the fountain pen!
3) A Netbook (yes, thank you mother for my computer you got me last Christmas but it is way to heavy to lug around campus)

4) A part-time paying job to buy above mentioned Netbook


5) A water bottle holder! As corny as this sounds it would be soooo helpful. I usually end up carrying my morning mug around with me everywhere and it gets very inconvenient after a while. This one even has a little pocket for keys or a phone!

6) And Bookends! My books in my bookcase keep falling over. It is very frustrating! These would be perfect for those scented rock things! No living creatures though. They wouldn't last long.


And so that wraps up Wishlist Wednesday. Those have been my pet peeves the past few days.


And now it is late and I must get ready for bed. Till next time...

First day and communication glitches

So.... yah.... break from studying.....

I'm stepping it up this year. Yes, that means I will actually read more than just highlights of the chapters in my textbooks this year. I actually plan on reading all assigned chapters (no, not the whole book! What? you think I'm a saint?). This means that I have actually made a study schedule for my self (yes Mother... be proud. Be very proud). I have planned out my whole day. Since I really have no life outside of school and internship and Vin never wants to go out I think this could be quite easy. I was planning on joining a few school organizations but I am going to hold off for a little bit. One or two groups would be nice... I need some friends dang it!

The first day of school went rather well. I didn't talk to anyone. No one talked to me. Might have been the invisible wall attached to my headphones. Anyways... BuffState is much different than Ivy Tech (duh!) classes are bigger, teachers are more educated and actually care about what they teach and the students are better dressed and bigger snobs (yes, I was wearing the headphones and ignoring people but I have gotten at least 6 stink-eye look-overs today and no they were not appreciated. I thought about asking what their problem was but Vin's stories of violent high school cat fights kept me at bay). But classes are awesome. I'm really looking forward to the rest of this year.

Oh yes..... I have new communication rules now. As most of you know I live on a hill in a forest. What this means is:
  1. really bad cell reception
  2. I will receive your text and voice messages days after you have sent them
  3. The internet and satellite go out approximately 15 minutes before it begins to storm
  4. I have slow internet all the time
Another thing to add that has nothing to do with the hill and trees....
  1. I now live in NY state where texting and talking on your phone while driving are illegal (and the cops are EVERYWHERE)
So to avoid any frustrations and unnecessary pull-overs my phone will be off when I am home and while driving. So I can be reached between 9-5 on the phone M-F. E-mail and online chat are the best ways to talk to me (unless I'm an idiot and don't see your message). I'm on the computer too much and have pretty much all the mainstream chat systems available. So yes.... contact me.... somehow.... and we'll figure out how to get this communication rolling!

yay!

ok.... 30 min have gone by... I think its time to go back to studying....

Till next time....

Wow

I've only had one class so far and I'm already feeling overwhelmed. It's not the actual work (I haven't been assigned anything yet) but its the crowds. The mass amount of people on campus are actually making me nervous. It's a flood of unfamiliar faces that I'm not sure I want to interact with and yet I feel that in order to make it here I have an obligation to. BuffState is big on networking. That was a main topic at orientation. But I don't think I want to interact just yet. We'll see how the rest of the day goes.

I'm about half way through my first break between classes and should probably start scoping out where my next class is.

Everyone was right about the parking here at BuffState. It's horrible! And the drivers aren't much better. Technically I'm parked on campus but it's really across the street in M lot - the farthest lot. Thankfully center campus (the student center) is only a 5-minute-ish walk from any campus limit. Campus seems big but if you think about it, it really isn't so bad. I just have to get find the Student Center and I can get my bearings from there.

My first class of the morning Intro to Theater has over 200 people in it - something like 250 I think the instructor said. For once I don't want to sit in the back. I want something roughly front and center but not really front row haha.

Ok... I'm off to find my next class. I am updating my twitter constantly while here. You can see the updates in that right column over there.

I have more to write so expect another post sometime today.

Till then...

Friday, August 27, 2010

And...here we go!

1. You do your thing; I do mine and sometimes we just don't get along.

2. Chores and my relationship is what's been on my mind on and off all day.

3. Remember when life was much simpler? Before society tainted your life?

4. My hair, watching movies and drinking hot beverages are three of my favorite obsessions :-)

5. During the last year I have come a lot farther than I ever could have imagined.

6. Vincent puts a smile on my face.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to movie night, tomorrow my plans include chores, chores, chores and Sunday, I want to finish Count of Monte Cristo audiobook! Only 10 more files left!

oh boy

Wow.... I can't believe it's Thursday already. The past few weeks have gone by so quickly. I honestly haven't been doing a humongous amount... I've just been so tired lately.

School starts Monday. I am so ready for it to begin. September promises to be an exciting month. I am going to Darrien Lake Six Flags on the fourth, Toronto International Film Festival the week after, and then Mother is visiting the 2 weeks after that!

I'm only taking 12 credit hours so I don't think it's going to be that hard. Hopefully the class load will be easy enough and I can add more next year. This semester is certainly going to be interesting.

I hope to work up a pretty solid schedule next week and I will make sure that there is writing time included. :)

Till then...

In the absense of writing here are some pictures :)

mmmm fresh fruit! From just down the street!
My happy new abode :)
The Skyway! I drive this everyday. That white tower is where they make cheerios and other cereals and sometimes you can smell them as you drive :D
This is where I work. On the third floor.

Apologies

I'm sorry for not writing lately. This has been an unusual week. I'll resume next week when I'm feeling better. Look for a post on Monday :) Cross my heart and hope to die

Quite an interesting day

So today has been pretty interesting. And it's not even dark out yet! I got lost today... well... it was more like I took a wrong turn and then another turn and then followed a road until i found a road I recognized. Let's just say I won't be taking that road again! Definitely the wrong road to be driving on. Thank god it was daylight out! And I did it TWICE too! How stupid of me right? It was just not the day to drive today.

Oh! and then I finally got my taste of Buffalo, NY!! There is this sandwich, the Beef on Weck, that is a regional favorite, and then of course there are the wings where Buffalo is the home of. OK, so I actually got Vin out of the house (yes, really!) and his Mom came too, and we went to this restaurant in the town next to us. They had a dish... The weck and wings combo.... yes, I was extremely happy! Vin called it my "Taste of Buffalo" haha! I have to tell you... I can't do hot wings... I have to keep them at the low intensity level.... but they are sooo good! And the weck was quite interesting. I'm not sure if I like it or not. I may have to try a different restaurant's version. But yes... I had two Western New York favorites in one meal! I know... I'm awesome! :D

Oh yah! I thought this was cool. I have The Count of Monte Christo audiobook on my iPod. The thing is just ridiculously long. It is 55 files, each with 2 chapters, and they have to average 1 hour each file. Something like that. Anyways, I got this book off a cheap-o website (it was free for a low quality one and I actually paid maybe $4 to get the high quality version). Anyways so the other day the audio starts acting funny like I have a short wire or something. The sound would go in and out and there would be a static noise. I just kept messing with my wires until it fixed itself. Well then today... it was the coolest thing, I think..... they must have not gone through the audio to check or something because today on file 21 the guy messes up and you can hear him talk to the studio people. This happened quite a lot actually throughout the file and also for the next file as well (i'm not sure if it keeps going. I had to stop listening to it). I am one of those people that loves the movie extras and behind the scenes stuff and this was just awesome! It was an audio behind the scenes! I know I'm a complete nerd! But it was so cool! You probably had to hear it to understand.... I don't know.

Anyways.... I'm going to go be a bum now. :D

Lazy days

So we didn't go to the renaissance fair today. But that's ok because I got to sleep in until noon today. :D oh yah! and THAT is because I stayed up till about 3 am to watch the 2am meteor shower with Vin in the field next to his house. We saw about four each. We didn't stay out too long because we were slackers haha. Only like 15-20 minutes. So yay for late nights and sleeping in :D

Aaaannnddd ttthhheeeennnn..... We have been watching the Ninja Warrior marathon on G4 all day (it's still going on as I type. New episode or something). and I went to go get some ice cream :D. That's about it for today. Maybe a scary movie tonight... I may try to conquer my fear of Quarantine. We'll see :)

As for tomorrow.... probably more laying around. :) Oh! and more writing of course.... I've been doing a lot of that lately :D

Yay!


till next time ^_^

Best job ever and Friday Fill In

So I really think that the internship is the best thing ever! I pretty much work alone at this point. I don't have to be at work until 9, my boss is usually only there to let me into the office and then leaves for the whole day, I am not paid so I do not have to work a set amount of hours, I am free to leave whenever I wish, I can have whatever days off I need, I don't work weekends, and I get to do all this research on film related topics. The actual work is honestly drudge work but I know that it is very important and therefore I do it. Also, I am lured to stay to see the other opportunities that await me. It's certainly not as glamorous as I had thought before but it's still quite an awesome job. I really just sit in a classroom with 3 macs and some couches and copy and paste contact information from different film schools, organizations, etc. But I can honestly say I enjoy it. So besides the hour commute there and back, the lack of decent bathrooms, and no pay I can say that I quite possibly have the best job ever.

And now for another weekly deal that I'm going to do! Friday Fill In's! yaya!

 ffi

And...here we go!

1. Music can be a calming factor.

2. A shower is what I like first thing in the morning.

3. The first thing I said this morning was: "Do you have vanilla roast coffee?".

4. Unknon; it's what's for dinner tonight.

5. It's all been very nice but I'd like to move on now.

6. Cuddling and listening to my audio book (I'm at a very good part!) is what I feel like doing right now.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to relaxing at home and doing some writing, tomorrow my plans include the Renaissance Fair (^_^)!!!!!  and Sunday, I want to sleep in and then listen to my audio book and write some more!

Power outages, late entries, and Orientations

I was so looking forward to posting last night and I never got to. :( The power mysteriously went out last night while we were out for dinner and did not come on until about 1am.

Soooo.... I'm going to do a 2 for 1 post today :) I'm going to post what I had planned for Wednesday. And do you know what I had planned for Wednesday? Ladies and Gentlemen I would like to introduce to you the weekly feature (and unfortunately late this week) WISH LIST WEDNESDAY!!!!!! YAY!!!! Ok, so it's not that exciting but it's still pretty stellar. Every week i'm going to bookmark all the things that I find in my internet paroozings and then share them with you every Wednesday. Awesome? Totally!

Are you ready?

WISH LIST WEDNESDAY(on thursday)
Ok, so I've wanted this for a few months but c'mon its awesome! It's from some Japanese artist Haku. He actually just draws them and they made a figurine of it. How cool?! *nerdy grin* 
Omg this coat is awesome! It's wool, purple (!!!), the buttons aren't bad and has awesome zipper compartments! only negatives are that it has no hood and I would prefer calf length.
Look at the pages! It's handmade lokta paper from Nepal!!
I thought this was the coolest journal!!










I saw this in a blog and fell in love with it! It's a vintage Emanuel Ungaro pantsuit. Needless to say.... I'm jealous. Someone make me a copy?? :D
Ein from Cowboy Bebop plush toy!! Cutest anime dog ever! I want a corgi like this in real life! But i can live with this for now :)
And then I found this awesome shirt... but I can not find a picture to upload. I mean, c'mon, a technicolor monkey with massive headphones? Awesome! ^_^

and that wraps up Wish List Wednesday ^_^ yay!! I'm glad I started it!


And now for my events today!

I had orientation for my new college today! Hello Buffalo State College!! I am so ready for you to start! My classes are pretty awesome this semester. I'm taking Introduction to Theater Arts, Chemistry and Society, Beginning French, and Childrens Literature. I'm excited for all of them except for the chem class obviously but its a requirement. Blah. Anyways, BuffState seems like it's going to be awesome! I can't wait for the 30th!

I can't wait to learn a new language! Especially French. No offense to my fellow Hispanics but I really find Spanish boring. And French is just so flowing and the writing aspect is so weird... It's awesome!

Oh and my childrens literature class is going to be awesome. For my required books I have to have Green Eggs & Ham, Amazing Grace, Story of Barbar, and some other children's books. I'm so excited. Hopefully people in my family have these books because I really do not wish to own them quite yet (I'm really not ready for kids).  I think this class is going to be awesome. Hopefully I can incorporate my little sister Marki into it somehow. I talked to her this week and she really seems to miss me. Poor girl.

Oh and theater class! AWESOME! I'm so excited for it! It's definitely not something I would do for a major or career but its something that certainly interests me and it will be great to learn the basics of it.

Ooooohhhhh BuffState! I'm excited!!


That's all I have for today my loves. I have to get writing some other personal projects before bed. I shall write again tomorrow!
