Breaking the fourth wall

Hello, blog. I always forget about you...

Actually, I'm pretty bored with this endeavour. I've already told all my friends anything worth writing about, and they're the people who read this. I don't feel like this site contributes anything to my online presence, much less to the internet as a whole (LOL).
meh...

I guess it is kind of fun to chart a timeline of events in my life against what I was writing about at the time. I mean there was this two months ago, and look at me now.

But I can get that same thrill from my journal. Plus I can be blunt in my journal. None of this cryptic, privacy, a-future-employer-might-be-reading-this baloney.

Yup. I have no reason to blog.

I'd much rather tweet the play-by-play than sit down and compose a full-blown post--especially after I've already tweeted the details!

my heart has wings, and I can fly...

okay, my reason to blog is to post Disney lyrics that are stuck in my head. Better? Didn't think so, hahaha.

Life Goals

So I've always had a list of ridiculous life goals in the back of my mind. This was inspired by Caitlin's list that was composed in the back of scholar bowl practice. I've never written mine out, though--so here's a start. I know there's a lot I'm forgetting...

-pop out of a cake.
-somehow be in Jesus Christ Superstar...pretty sure I missed my chance for that but oh well lol
-sing karaoke to "You Oughta Know"
-Titanic-style handprint on a window
-read Harry Potter en espanol

well that list is really short, and has already been partially tackled. (I read Sorcerer's Stone in Spanish, but Chamber of Secrets and Half-blood Prince both proved too much, lol.) But still. I wanted to have it in writing. hahaha

I can't stop smiling

New phone with lots of nifty features. Had a pretty good day at school today (one of the newbies is finally trained to work 5 of the kids, thank God). Came home and did some really good journaling. Yummy salad and home-grown green beans for dinner. Evening time with Pistashleyo. Being giddy during choir with Erica. Making a slight spectacle of myself during choir by laughing so much. Rocking out to Beach Boys with Erica on the way to Andy's, which the director bought for everyone. Good talk with my mom, good chat with my man, good/ridiculous convo with my roomie. Found the Metromix pic after a lady in choir told me she saw my picture on the internet (to be fair, she saw us oot and aboot that night). I ate ice cream three times today. We have awesome plans for this weekend, and awesome BIRTHDAY plans for the next weekend, along with awesome crazy-party-in-Lawrence plans. I have a whole 8 days until my class starts.

I guess what I'm trying to say is things are pretty good...

Hokay, so...

Tonight may have been the Apocalypse.

Ashley and I saw a movie, and then walked to the Mudlounge. Time frame: around 9pm.
1. On the way, I saw that the downtown library (the one that is open late) was closed. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but it came to be a harbinger of doom.
2. We saw a freakishly long line of people outside the Outland Ballroom, and they were scary and rude.
3. THE MUDLOUNGE WAS CLOSED. Like, the staff were inside cleaning up, it was only just closing.
4. When we walked back, we saw a HUGE line of people outside Remington's--there's never ANYONE at Remington's.

Then we went back to the parking garage. As we drove off we kept hearing a clanking sound, so I pulled over and
5. A piece of my car was hanging off and dragging the ground.

We talked about what we wanted to do--I suggested pie at Perkins, and we settled on Sonic--and drove on.
6. Sonic was closed.
7. Perkins was closed.

We went to another Sonic, seriously shaken up.
8. We drove through a couple of stoplights that were not functioning.

We finally got our food and headed home.
9. The power had gone out in our absence.

...The storm occurred at like 5 this evening. LONG before all these events.

It was a really, really creepy hour and a half or so. Things seemed pretty touch and go for a while there. At this point I think it looks like we'll survive...

Alanis

you've already won me over in spite of me
now don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet

blahblahblah

I don't know what I'm getting myself into. I don't know what I want to get myself into. I really wish I was going back to school this week, because then I would get my BRAIN back--I'm good for one week of break, but two is just too much time to myself. Especially when I have something massive to spend all my time over-analyzing... yeah, yeah, #firstworldproblems #omg2weekspaidvacationhowawful #whinewhinewhine #maniamsogladinever*wentunemployedicompletelylosemysenseswhenimbored

(*and in summer 2008 when I was unemployed I was a mess!)

things are shaping up to be pretty odd
