So, this blog has been put on hold. Who cares? No one. That's what's up. I've come to accept the fact the following things

1) People don't read this blog.

• Let's face it. You don't. This is just a vat for my emotions. 

2) I will never write a book. 

• Because a) I'm an impatient person and b) no one reads or likes my writing anyways (66% of people like you writing on Reddit) 66% wow. Great. 

3) I will always be an emotional wreck on my birthday. 

• Yup. It started when I was 10. I cried in my grandma's bathroom while my cousins played in the pool. When I was 11 I cried because no one could come to my birthday party. And guess what? It's been going on for 9 years. I tried to throw a party for myself on Friday and guess what? no one can come. 

And people think why I'm so cynical.....Hm. 

There is a positive note to this though! 

I'm crying right now so maybe I wont be on my actual birthday. Oh looking forward to it....

We're all floating in space...

I'm kind of lost. Now that the new school year has started... I feel kind of weird. I feel like I should be exploring instead of being stuck behind a desk listening to a professor drone on and on. I feel like I should being getting lost somewhere in a place where I don't know the language. Because I hate this. Not knowing what I want to do in my life.

That sounds emo doesn't it? I mean don't get me wrong. I love my friends here and I absolutely love my roommate (who consequently is my best friend. Yes, we did plan it.) but I don't know, I just feel kind of stuck.
Maybe I just need to rant to someone who will actually listen to me and not broadcast my feelings over the internet.

Here's a picture of a cute, fuzzy animal to make yourself feel better and my way of saying thanks for reading my blog:

Even if you don't like rats, you gotta admit this is pretty frickin' adorable. JUST LOOK AT ITS FACE!

Okay well, peace out.

Yeah. I know. I'm pretty bad at updating this whole blog thing. But, since I can't get to sleep right now I figure I give an update.

Summer has been going splendid. I got a job at a sporting goods store right down the street.
I know, me at a sporting goods store. But it's true. They hired my fat ass (which has been decreasing in size since I've been slowly starting to lose the fifteen or odd pounds I gained in college).

The Harry Potter premiere was absolutely fantasmagical! I went with my best friend, Danielle, and we ate Taco Bell as we waited in line for 2 hours. It was so worth it.

I've also been reading books that I don't know the ending already! It's great! I just finished reading The Help by  Katheryn Stockett. It's a tale about civil rights that are happening in the deep south in the early sixties. Two of the POV are two African American women who happen to wait on white rich families. The third POV is told through a young white woman who recently graduated college and wants to change the world. 


Okay I'm tired now, I have work tomorrow.

Well hey there. Sorry I've been busy. My first year of college is almost at close. That's right. Dead week.
Let me show you how I've been acting for the past couple of days.

Sometimes I'm like this:

Other times I'm like this from being so brain dead:

And the rest of the time I'm like:

Yay for dead week! Sorry my post was so short but it's video-tastic! You can expect a celebratory post on the 25th!

So I've spent my whole entire Friday in bed watching Friends only leaving to go to the bathroom and go to my school's market to buy soup, Gatorade, and fruit juices. You see, I have felt like death warmed up for the past couple of days and I felt like it was appropriate to take the day off.

As I watched my roommate clunk her way out of the room to go to class. I went onto Hulu to watch the highlights of the Royal Wedding (I just wanted to see what her wedding dress looked like, honest to goodness. Which, by the way, she looked absolutely stunning. No argument). As the newlyweds climbed into that elaborate and British flags waved in every direction and bells chimed. A realization came to mind.

I will never be famous.

Now, I'm not feeling sorry for myself at all. It's just I don't see it happening. I had visions I would be shaking hands with Oprah talking about my book on the Bestseller but I don't think it's actually going to happen. I'm being realistic. I mean, I like my life now. I have an amazing boyfriend, friends who I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.

What I'm trying to say is,
I like my life, it's going good.

Congrats Will and Kate.

Please direct your attention to this video before I continue on with this post. Don't worry it's not Miley getting high on Salvia or Charlie Sheen saying giving birth is "winning".  No folks, it is SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT.

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART TWO TRAILER! As much as I am excited for this movie, I can't help feel a little bit sad. I think I mentioned this in a earlier post but I grew up with Harry Potter. I remember our second grade teacher reading the first book out loud to us in class while we sat down with our peanut butter sandwiches and pizza pockets. Then, just a couple years later, I remember standing in line with my family outside a rickety old theater in my handy dandy purple Harry Potter shirt with Hedwig stitched above a little breast pocket. He doesn't like to admit it now, but I remember my brother being absolutely OBSESSED and I mean OBSESSED with Potter and his gang (He hated the color green because it was Slytherin's colors and he named his stuffed dog Fluffy after the three headed dog that appears in the first book).

JK Rowling has created a masterpiece. She created a whole new world that children and adults can dive right into and discover the magic. People in my writing class hate Rowling and Harry Potter because how big the books are (I think it's on the lines of: the bigger the book the bigger the paycheck? Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what they said). But look at it: 7 internationally bestselling books that have been compared to JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and CS Lewis's Narnia, 7 (almost 8) successful movies, tons of memorabilia (wands, chocolate frogs, Bertie Bots Every Flavor Beans, robes, time turners, need I say more?), and A WHOLE FREAKING THEME PARK!

All of this came from A BOOK! An idea that someone manifested into a BOOK! I can't imagine writing something like that. I would be so humble and so grateful. Humble  in the fact that people actually liked my work and grateful that people would want to take it and make it great and turn it into what is like today. It just blows my mind. If I was JK Rowling every day I would wake up, look myself in the mirror and say

"Yes, that's right. You changed the world. You. Are. Awesome."

So first thing is first, Happy Easter. Hope you guys ate lots of Peeps and bit the heads off of innocent chocolate bunnies.

My weekend was okay, I guess. We had Friday off so I went home, even though I was only away for a week and a half it felt like I've been away from home for months. College is weird like that.

I saw two movies in the theater in two days! I saw "African Cats" with the boyfriend and then "Water for Elephants" with my mom and my brother.

Here is my opinion:

African Cats> Water for Elephants

I mean Water for Elephants wasn't THAT bad. I mean if you didn't read the book you would enjoy the movie. But since Water for Elephants is one of my favorite books (see blog entry: "Step One") I couldn't help but scrutinize and judge every mistake they made. But then again, the books are usually better than the movie. I do, however, appreciate the fact that someone realized the amazing-ness of the book and decided to make the effort to put it on the big silver screen.

African Cats was surprisingly REALLY good. It's a nature flick, following a lion pride and a mother cheetah with her cubs. I learned a lot more about lions and how cool they really are. And I also learned that cheetahs do not roar. They make more of a squeaky sound. Cool, right? YAY FOR LEARNING!

My Easter was alright. I got Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 on DVD from my loving mother. And then my boyfriend decided, ever so chivalrously, to give me his sore throat which I should have saw coming. Since he kept coughing right in my face and didn't bother to cover his mouth. But I was so blinding by love I thought my immune system would have the strength to carry on. BUT I THOUGHT WRONG.

I leave tomorrow morning to go back to school. Back to hell, more like it. Eauuuugh, why can't classes be over already? 4 more weeks!
