A Little Bit O' Ramblin

I don't know if I've ever mentioned this before but I hate and loathe finals week.

I had one test in American Literature that consisted mostly of Moby Dick nonsense (oh man, that book was terrible), a 6-8 page paper in American Literature comparing Anne Bradstreet to Phillis Wheatley, and a 6 page paper on the changes in the public sphere of reading with the lack of attention span and Google books.

Next week, 2 more papers due. One on the social repurcussions of a show like American Idol and another on the concept of racism throughout history based on the book Kindred.

Oh my God. My brain can't handle it.

I've been living off of caffeine for about a week now and that's not healthy at all.

Anyways....

I went to see The Hobbit at the midnight premiere.

HOLY CRAP. If I had the energy to keysmash, I would.I don't care what anyone says, that movie was so freaking great that I started crying during the opening title sequence with glee. Yes I am that big of a nerd, what of it? Don't judge me. I could write a whole blog about my feelings for The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, but I won't bore everyone with those thoughts.

It was so freaking great. SO SO great. I stayed up until 5 in the morning and slept until 10 am. Then I went over to my friend Lauren's (HA, we have the same name) apartment to chill and work on some papers which is where I am currently residing. We have plans to make chocolate covered pretzels, candied pecans, and chocolate covered Oreos. It's going to be awesome.

I also came on here to comment on how creepy Christmas commercials can be. I'm sitting here watching American Gangster and that stupid Folgers ad comes on with the brother coming home from West Africa. He shows up at the door and is all excited for the coffee (because apparently they don't have coffee in West Africa?). The sister gets a present from him and she takes the bow off of it and pins it on him and claims that he's her present. Umm. Okay, I get that this is supposed to be all cute and heart warming but it makes me feel really uncomfortable. Like why are they looking at each other like that? Stop that! It's creepy and...just...ish. And why are the parents like hiding in the shadows? Didn't he just arrive? Shouldn't this be like one of those big reunion deals? Why would the best part of waking up be coffee when your son just came home (unless they have a caffeine addiction problem). I don't even care if people think I'm weird for thinking this because I know it's a thing because I GOOGLED IT.

I also find the new Target commercials to be AWFUL. The singing dude and girl are the most annoying. Not that Target Lady wasn't annoying but these guys are really annoying. Ugh. Holiday advertisements are the worst.

So now we're getting ready to go make delicious things. I have the recital to photograph tomorrow along with some other single shoots so that should be fun.




Currently playing: The Misty Mountains-The Hobbit OST (WHY IS THIS SUCH AMAZING MUSIC? WHY? I HAVE SO MANY EMOTIONS.)

What's on your mind?

So I've been asked multiple times what runs through my head when I say something. I'll admit, sometimes I take offense to that questions because come on, I'm not that mental. The things that come out of my mouth have been filtered and everything (insert applicable 'that's what she said' joke). I'm not totally stupid.

So, that being said, this is going to be an entry about the crap that runs through my brain that I don't say. Everyone should consider themselves lucky that I sort of filter.

Morning

What? What day is it?

Caffeine. I need caffeine. CAFFFFFFFIENE!!!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee putting on my faaaaace. Make up sucks. That's an investment I wish I didn't have. Why don't guys wear makeup? Who made up this shitty social norm? I bet it was the Romans or something. CURSE YOU WOMEN OF THE PAST.

I could really use some waffles or something. Pancakes? I really should wake up earlier to make breakfast. Poptarts aren't that great. Oh but these are pumpkin pie flavored. Okay I can handle that. WHERE'S MY COFFEE. BREW FASTER, GERRY, BRRRRRREW.

Oh I suppose I should put on clothes other than my pajamas. What's the weather today? It looks sunny out. Jeans and a t-shirt. Alllllriiiight.

HOLY SHIT BALLS IT'S FREEZING OUT HERE. YOU MOTHEREFFING SUN. YOU TELL ALL OF THE LIES. MY FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE IS COOOOOOOOOOOLD. WHERE'S MY BUS?!?!???!?!

Aw man I forgot to pee before I left. What the hell. Oh God. Now I really gotta goooooooooo. Move traffic, mooooove.

Is it trashy to want a drink at 9 am? Probably. I don't even care.

At School

Why is that kid wearing shorts and a t-shirt? Is he crazy? He must be on the crazy juice.

Why is food in Gopher Express so expensive? ALL I WANT IS A BAGEL. STOP RAPING MY BANK ACCOUNT.

Hey I see a magazine with Hobbit on the cover. HOW YOU DOIN BILBO BAGGINS? HOW. YOU. DOIN.

How the hell did hobbits haul all that stuff? I can barely make it up the stairs. So tired. Sleeeeeep.

I want a smoothie.

What are we even talking about? Oh that was the reading we were supposed to do? I'll get right on that...

I wonder if I can connect to the WiFi. My social networks need me to be clever and witty har har har

Laptop, you have been on for 10 minutes, how are you at 30% battery? I LOATHE YOU.

Falling asleep. Sleeeeeeeep. I wonder if the teacher will notice if I fall asleep. No that's bad. I'm paying for this class, I should focus.

Head nod. Head nod. Nodding head. Man, I'm annoying myself with my head bobbing. No wonder my neck is always sore.

I still haven't peed! GOTTA GO GOTTA GO GOTTA GOOOOOO

Oooh my phone is blinking. I don't know why I bother trying to discreetly check it. No one just awkwardly stares at their own crotch, right? I love text messages.

I should make a list of things to do. That will make me feel productive. Ummmmmmm.

Oh oh oh! I can blend different colored gummy bear parts to make a Frankenbear and he will be ten different kinds of delicious!

Why is this classroom so cold? U of M, what are you using my tuition for if not to turn on the heaters? I shouldn't be wearing my jacket in the classroom.

I'm hungry.

Bored. Bored bored.

Ha. Diet Coke clown. Hahahahahahaha

I want my puppy. Doooooooooooooooggie. I want all of the puppies.

Gotta peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

So not wild water?

 HEY I HEARD YOU WERE A WILD ONE

Oh hair. I wish I could just buzz you off. WHY SO DIFFICULT?

I hate this TA. He's a dick. Giving me bad grades for no reason. You sir, are a jerkwad and a half. STOP BEING SO HATEFUL.

Wheeeeeere are you, Chriiiiistmas? I LOVE CHRISTMAS MUSIC.

Except for Santa Baby. That song just makes me really uncomfortable, especially when played in my headphones.

Don't make eye contact with anyone whilst walking. They may talk to you. Must catch bus, must catch bus.

I HATE PEOPLE IN VESTS. LEAVE ME ALONE. I HAVE NO MONEY FOR YOU. STOP ASKING MY NAME. DO YOU NOT SEE THE HEADPHONES. NO TALKING.

Safety of the bus. Sweet salvation. What a sorry sorry salvation. What is my life?Why is everyone so strange?

Home

AMERICAN HORROR STORY ON TONIGHT WOOOOOOOOO!!! YEA YEA YEA!!!

Oh food. I love food. Kraaaaaft Mac n Cheeeeeeeeeese. Cheeeeeeeeeese cheeeeeeeese. Oh hey, Blue Moon.

Nap time? Nap time.

I've got candaaaaaay. Nom nom nom nom nom. ALL OF THE SUGAR. WEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

What the hell? Why is Kevin Bacon on TV?

I wonder what the inside of a pokeball looks like. I wonder if it was like a mansion since they just turned into a beam of light.

Hey MioEnergy, just because you have green and red flavors does not make you Christmasy. STOP LYING.

Oh I have homework. BUT I WANT TO WATCH ALL OF THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS.

Holy American Horror Story. This nun is EFFED UP. WOAH.

Sleeeeeepy. So sleepy. I love sleep.






See? Everyone is very lucky that I don't spout out all that is on my mind since it's kind of a weird place.

Freakin Weekend

I revamped my blog! It's now ~stylish. Not really but it's far better than the garish green that it was.

So I've been home for two and half days and it's been great. I have missed being home! My dog was especially pleased to see me!

It's been a pretty chill weekend. I had a few epiphanies that were kind of hard to deal with but my friends are so great and helped me understand myself better. I blew out my knee again playing with my dog so hopefully that heals up faster than it did last time. It doesn't hurt anywhere near as bad so I'm not all too worried about it. It certainly didn't stop me from lifting our Christmas tree into our truck.

Guys, I am strong.

 Like the Hulk.

Nowhere near strong enough to deal with bales of hay, though. Nope. I refuse to sign up for that stuff.

Anyways...

We got our Christmas tree! Yay! Our house smells amazing and fresh and I freaking love Christmas! It's already decked out in lights and is all sparkly! I also insisted that we buy some hand-pressed cider today from the Deer Lake Orchard today. Never in my life have I had cider like this stuff. It smells like caramel apples and tastes like pie. I plan on picking some more up and hoarding it. Or maybe sharing if you're special enough. We'll see.

I finished my registration process for Spring semester. I wish I could say that it's going to be my last semester but I know it's not. Boo.

On the plus side, I'm signed up for Victorian Literature, Scandinavian Folklore, History of the Crusades, Intermediate Fiction Writing, and my senior seminar on John Keats. My brain is already exploding in a panic over how much work all of this is going to be.

Whatever.

I also was asked to be the photographer for the recital that will be happening at the barn. I'm pretty pumped about that! I haven't had the time to take many pictures lately so I'm looking forward to getting back behind the camera. Tomorrow I head out to CP to visit the boys and spoil them up. Yay horses! They always make me feel better.
