Today I saw...

A guy, about 30, wearing a business suit with no jacket, totally booking it running down Evans with a bouquet of flowers, looking frantic.

I hope that scene was as romantic in real life as I had imagined it was!

2009 is Flying By!II

I'm following a suggestion to look back at my New Year's Resolutions, check around my silly little life, and see what's going on in it!

These were my resolutions in December:

- Maybe start another blog, one meant for the public eye, an editorial on current international events. I think this would be a great way for me to take my major and make it into my passion! (August - Ok, so I didn't do international events, but Wax Cylinders is bringing me big bundles of happy!)

- Spend more time in the city (Aug - could still use more work here!)

- Go to at least one campus event a week (Aug - I didn't really work on that last year, but since I don't live in the dorms anymore, I want to make this a priority!)

- Keep a diary again (Aug - Total fail. I swear I'll keep trying tho, it's important to me!)

- Learn to like black coffee (Aug- Yeah, this one is nixed. Don't like it, won't like it.)

- Rediscover cello (Aug - I did this really well last quarter, lots of cello progress! This summer, on the other hand...)

- Eat one meal a day vegetarian (Aug - This will prolly start when I start living with my veggie-head alli!)

- Find some new bands, and a new direction in music (Aug - I could stand to shake things up a little more, I'd say!)

- Get away from jeans (Aug - I was a little too good at this... until my shopping trip on Saturday, I only had two pairs of jeans - and they were the same jeans.)

Ok, so let's see what new stuff I want around for the remainder of this crazy year!

Mid Year Resolutions!

- Work my ass off at Russian. I'm going to be living there in almost exactly a year, I do NOT want to sound like an idiot!

- Work as much as I can, and SAVE SAVE SAVE $! (Also with Russia in mind!)

- Live a happier life at school this year than I did last year. More friends and more fun!

- Get over this 'shy girl' nonsense. I never considered myself shy until someone told me I was, but once that happened it got way worse. I want to be life of the party girl!

- In addition to keeping a better diary, I want to blog more on here. You guys should know what's up!

- Keep in better touch with the CU and SEP crowds. I love you all big time!

- Do my best work on Wax Cylinders, the DU Democrats Blog, and my DU admissions blog!

Sunny side limerick!

SEP was closed, its sad but true
Due to cases of dreaded swine flu
And although it was bad,
It wasn't all sad,
Friends were made that are lasting and true!

I love my sep amigos, and you better believe I still got the glow!

I'm done with freshman year at DU

and I'm really not too choked up about it. If the whole thing had gone like fall quarter did, where we all ate together (every day at 6pm,) where we were in the lounge talking/complaining/intermittently doing some homework until 1 am, where I could pretty much wander into any room, even when we all played Smash way too many hours out of the day... well then, maybe I would feel like I'm going to miss it. 

Everything changed, though. The floor got so cliquey (I myself am not innocent of this.) There were certain people (ok, person) who I couldn't stand so much I couldn't be in the same room. I began to feel like even when we were miraculously all together again, I was with the wrong people, or like I was biting my tongue. There are a couple things I'll miss - living so close to Chris, his room, his roommate, his best friend here. But since my boyfriend, something I'm not planning on getting rid of when I move out, is the only thing I like about this year overall in this dorm, I can't say I'm too concerned about this being my last night here. 

The Fallout 3 Soundtrack is the Only Thing I Like Right Now.

I don't want to set the world on fire, I just want to start a flame in your heart <3

A Play in 1/4 of an act

*Roommate randomly sits up at 2AM after being asleep for an hour while I'm still doing homework.*
Her: Are you ok?
Me: .....yes?
Her: Ok. could you turn out your light please?
Me: oh, um, I actually wasn't done yet...
Her: Thank you.
Me: *Turn off*
Her: falls immediately back to sleep.
Me: >_<

Snow day,

Muthafucka!

Maybe I should've stayed at the dorm for break...

This isn't the way to go about what I am trying to accomplish.

Maybe? Please???

There is a possibility of something amazing happening, very soon.

Donnie Darko Sequel....ugh

And yourself?

ennui again.

Tonight is the kind of night where I could either go out dancing like a maniac, or stay holed up in my room under the covers and hiding from everything.

I feel like doing something that is really spontaneous and also a really, really bad idea, like going clubbing right now, by myself. (This is probably not as shocking as it would seem, as great minds seem to think alike, lately. Does this mean its not just me?)

At the minimum, I need to stop thinking so far into the future, and into the past for that matter, and start living for right now. If only I understood right now as well as I do the past, or as well as I think I understand the future.

{In other news, why didn't I practice today? I feel like a great lump}

Somebody fix me, please?

ITC Day 18

I know I stopped posting these daily, but it does not mean I have stopped the ITC!

Far from it.

My ITC has worked so magically, I feel like the transformation is practically complete already. I don't even have to try anymore to avoid soda and refined sugar (exceptions made for my boyfriend's v-day gift of Godiva chocolates!), I'm thinking thrice before eating anything too fatty. I actually miss exercise this week (head colds do not like cardio). I have lost at least 4 inches off my waist, 2 off my hips, 9 lbs total, my skin is clearer... all magical. I hope I can go the last 10 days as well as the last 18! then again, I think these changes may be permanent! Big smiles, and I hope everyone else is doing great.

ennui |änˈwē|
noun

a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from a lack of occupation or excitement.

ORIGIN mid 18th cent.: French, from Latin mihi in odio est ‘it is hateful to me.’ Compare with annoy .

THERAFLU!

The nuclear warhead of cold medicines. 

Damn you, flu, you will be gone by midnight OR ELSE!

NOTHING is messing up my Valentine's date! :-<
