'Bless Bliss' we used to say

I just spent the day watching 'The Thorn Birds'.
All 10 hrs of it.
With Emily.
In my PJs.

And I'm just a really happy person right now.

Nobody ever wants to watch miniseries with me except Mom.
Today someone did.

And that's cool.

=D

Sing it with me! 'And so what we have learned applies to our lives today-'

What did we learn today I may hear you ask?

What did we learn today?

We learned that I should never watch 'Doomsday' unless I am mentally prepared for a mini-meltdown.

That's what we learned.

A lot of movies and tv shows make me cry.
Let's face it.
I'm a weeper.
I cried at 'Snoopy Come Home'
I cry during Hallmark commercials
Heck, I once cried during a Backstreet Boys music video (don't judge, you weren't there)

99.9% of the time, it's just that initial time that gets the tears going.
Maybe a few times after that if the incidents aren't too far apart.
But generally, the shock wears off and that particular thing does not make me cry anymore, 'cause I know what's comin'.

It's been 2yrs since I watched 'Doomsday'.
I watched it again tonight.
And cried nearly as much as I did the first time.

Alrighty then.
Lesson learned.
Rule?
Meet exception.
lol.
I'm such a wuss.
*shrug*

Now if I could just learn to cry on cue it might actually be useful!


Here's my favourite Rose/Doctor youtube vid.
It's edited really well.
I love it when they cut the clips in rhythm. =D

ACK!

Why ITS?

Why are you out to make my life diffcult?!

Internet is out in Knights Village.
Since yesterday.
Morning.
Freakin'- just-.....ACK!

Yes. I can go to the library and use the internet there.
But I can't check my e-mail as much.
Which is pretty rotten considering that I need to be on the ball as far as getting all my grad school stuff done by Monday.
That's right.
Monday.
I need to be able to reply lickity-split to any e-mails I recieve from professors about recommendations and I can't.

Because the internet is out.

*Head smack*

I'm ok.
Really.
I'm just a little stressed about getting all this stuff done without the conveniance of my computer.

And I feel really bad about having to push my professors for recommendations, but I need them.

For my future.

By Monday!

And here's the other thing.
Minnesota applications are due by December 15th.
What does that mean exactly?
Everything has to be to them by December 15th?
Or do things have to be postmarked by December 15th?

The other thing is, I need stamps.
I have stamps.
But they have superheros on them.
And I can't exactly use them on Grad School stuff.
*head smack again*

I'm sure this will all be fine and I'm just worrying about nothing.
But it's easy to worry about nothing when you know you aren't doing everything you can do (ie. checking my e-mail every hour or so).

rrbrbrbrbrrbrbbrbrbrbrbrbbrbrbbrruh

Yeah.

Anyway.
That's about it for now.
I've spent three hours in the library and that's all the time I have to give for now.

ITS better frickin' well have the internet on by this evening.

Snow!!!

It's SNOWING!!!!!!!!

Also happy is that fact that this coming week (aside from containing a lot of homework) contains mucho Christmas JOY!!!!

There will be Christmas movie watching tonight (HUZZAH!)

Friday night there will be suitemate Christmas Party

Saturday night Leah's coming over for girly Christmas happiness.

And I'm sure there will be random acts of Christmas during the week since there is no choir this coming week (Woot!), and no rehearsals or anything in the evenings!

=D

Yesterday was the Des Moines CWW, and it was way fun.
We slept on the bus, ate out at The Brewery, and watched Chronicles of Narnia on the bus on the way home.
Everybody was all tired and happy so we kept shouting, "long live Aslan!" and clapping when good things happened. =D
I love happy movie magic.

On the downside, I kind of needed to go to Wal Mart today but my car is sort of buried in snow and I really don't want to dig it out.

Wal Mart will just have to wait until nature un-buries my car.
Nature buried it.
It's nature's responsibility to get it out.

Long Live Aslan!!!

Happy times

I love the Naz and Des Moines CWWs.

I love getting on a bus and riding for hours with everybody.

I love the inconveniances and all the stuff that goes wrong and the driving through snow.

Inconveniances are stories.

They are shared experiences and they bring people closer together.

=D

Today is the Des Moines show and it's snowing (as it always seems to do when we drive to Des Moines). Then we will drive forever and sit around forever and go to dinner practically all at the same resteraunt and deal with long lines and nearly be late getting back. Then we will drive back from Des Moines (leaving late of course) and arrive on campus somewhere around midnight or 1am.

There's a lovely sort of familiarity to it all.

Huzzah for familiarity!!!
Huzzah for Christmas!!!
Huzzah for Snow!!!

Almost!

I need to go back to Wal Mart for some more lights and garland.

And THEN my room will be sufficiently Christmas-afied.

HUZZAH!

I can't wait to plug in those twinkle lights and sit in my room surrounded by happy blue and white Christmas joy.

=D

In other news....I have a German quiz tomorrow.
I'll get on that.
....sometime.

You keep moving on

There is snow on the ground.

A Christmas tree in my room.

And my parents are coming tomorrow.

I'm happy.

But I'll be happier when I'm home on break.

For some reason, college just seems to amplify all the things that are stressful about life.

And when I'm at home, I can ignore it.
I can pretend it doesn't exist.
I can watch Christmas movies with mom,
play scrabble with Jakey,
play mafia at Blakes',
and talk about books and movies with my brother.

And I don't have to think about the future (ack grad schools!), my grades, my vocal chords (stupid cold!), my weight (I just frickin' wanna eat a cookie ok?), or my relationships (in the romantic sense, a profound lack thereof).

I can just drink hot cocoa and enjoy Christmas.

In a little while,
just a little while....
