tis the season...
so let me just say that i'm sooooo excited to go up to my sisters for christmas. i've got ella and morgyns gifts all ready [and they're wrapped and ready to go as well, two points to me]. i'm getting aris and azleigh gift cards for target so they can get whatever and mailing those out to colorado isn't a problem at all. i just need to figure out megan's gift and i'm D-O-N-E. this is just fantastic. we decorated our house yesterday and as usual, it's fabulous.
i've been listening to the ever so wonderful celine dion and i even watched opus 'n bill: a wish for wings that work. everyone thinks i'm a complete nut job, but i really love it a little bit more everytime i watch it. it's so cute. i bought a VHS copy two years ago and i just found out it was released on dvd a few weeks ago....so i'll need to get that eventually. i need to make sure this keeps up with the technology :D not that anyone would actually sit down and truly watch it with me, but whatever. i'm good at being alone....i plan on doing it for the rest of my life actually.
school is finally winding down...and i'm starting to nut out about what i still have left to do. two weeks of classes and a week a finals and then a month of nooooo school. i had planned on getting all caught up during this long weekend since i didn't have school or work and i'm still in the same place, but maybe a few pounds heavier. speaking of, i'm starting a diet on monday. i saw some pictures of myself and i wanted to vomit all over them. i look nasty....and i'm going to florida in 6 weeks. 10 pounds would be a nice start by then....maybe even 15-20. i'm going to try really hard to just stay focused....i think if i stop going to the bar tuesday-saturday, that might help a bit. and i need to start making my own food instead of ordering out so often. and i should have time to start working out. i need to do this for me. time to be selfish i suppose.
thanksgiving was fun: me and ashtwat made a delicious dinner and hung out all day watching tv and sharing lots of music. nice and relaxing and i couldn't have asked for a better day. had i known further than about a day in advance that i was going to be getting holiday pay for thanksgiving and the day after, i probably would have ventured out to st. marys. i'll probably do that next year.
time for a GWACK ATTACK!!! which is going to be my last one for awhile....because i can't keep going out to eat..... :(

Wandering the streets in a world underneath it all...
i dont know what's wrong with me, but i have been feeling so worn down lately. this week kicked my ass. i just want to lay around and do nothing all the time. i wonder if i'm starting to get sick. david got me all scared about getting sick at work because things go around and spread like the plague. and my desk is right under the vent in my office, so i'll be taking daily germ showers because the ventilation system is really bad at work. not that i ever needed help getting sick to begin with, but this year should be worse. super duper. i should have gotten that flu shot they were handing out last week at work. oh well.
i saw my parents today for the first time since july. i really do miss them a whole lot more than i ever thought i would. i enjoy their company. and they seem a lot happier now that all the kids are finally out of the house. my mom seemed like she was glowing today. i'm happy for them...and i'd be even happier if their house would sell. apparently no one needs a 4 bedroom house with no grass to mow in a run down city that has nothing good left in it. eh, it'll all be ok in the end i suppose.
so, i've been doing a lot of driving lately...so i've had lots of time to think. and i think i want to start going to church again. i dunno...i just feel like i'm missing something in my life...and alcohol doesn't really fill the void anymore. and i don't believe in love [not that i'd ever actually find love anyways] so i think i might start going. who knows though, i reeeeally value my sleep on sunday mornings. it's just a thought at least.
i've been feeling really pessimistic lately, which is kind of weird. i think it's the weather....the fall makes me feel gloomy even though i don't really have anything to be gloomy about.
dane cook is tonight.....i hope it's as fun as it was 3 years ago. and then we're going out in cleveland....i really hope thats fun because i'm not really looking forward to it.
death cab for cutie is perfect fall weather music. also, the new angels and airwaves cd is pretty decent, although i need to listen to it more.

"Let's fight crime with mangoes and limes..."
Something I would like to invent in my next life [actually, I'd rather someone just do it for me] is a dryer that instantly dries clothes...or does it in like 20 minutes. I'm cleaning my room for the first time in seriously 3 weeks and doing laundry and it's taking fooooooooooorever. But it is nice that I can finally see my floor again. The shitstorm was getting out of hand. And of course, cleaning my room is always better than doing homework. I love the group on Facebook called " Nothing Gets My Room Cleaner Than A Paper Due Tomorrow"...it's funny because it's true. I'm so happy that it's finally "flannel sheets weather", although I'm not real happy about the snow I saw today.
Just a little refresher because it's been forever since I sat around and did this as a form of procrastination:
-- Overall, NYC was amazing. I loved hanging out with Brian and seeing his life. I was originally planning on going back to visit around Christmas time, but I think I'm going to hold off until February. We've got a long weekend in there somewhere for Presidents Day I think, so that would be ideal.
-- School is still making me want to shoot myself, but only like 4 weeks left! Actually, I'm dealing a little bit better...but I wish I wasn't taking e-marketing or digital imaging 2. Both are a giant waste of time and I wish I could focus more on my classes that matter but oh well. I'm fairly certain next semester is going to be a bitch. 4 studio classes = death. BUT! They're the final 4 classes until graaaaaaaaaaaaduation! Yikes. I'm really excited but a little scared.
-- MH pretty much gave me a job offer....they wanted to offer me a job because they were hoping I was graduating in December, but Shelley said the offer will still stand in May, so thats always nice. Speaking of MH, I spent my summer moving on up! I started in a small cube on intern row. Then, about halfway through, I was moved into the Marketing department, and now, Shelley and I share an OFFICE!! There were plenty of extra cubes I could have been thrown into, but she wanted me in there. I like the feeling of being needed -- like, knowing that if i don't go into work when they're expecting me, means that I'll be screwing people over. Weird and twisted, but that's me I guess. Although, now that it's kind of a slow time, we spend a lot of time screwing around and being silly, but it's fun that way. I really can't complain at all. I'm really looking forward to the holiday party, which by the way, is being held at The House of Blues in Cleveland. Uppity!
-- I am currently incredibly obsessed with The Office. I can't get enough. We DVR the episodes and I watch them a million times. I catch something new and funny every time. And maybe I find things funnier because I work in an office...and I wish things were really like that. I need one of these REEEEEAL bad:
-- Also, if you're looking to pirate some music, I HIGHLY recommend listening to music scores...ya know, the instrumental stuff in movies. It's awesome. John Williams, Hans Zimmer and James Horner are pretty much my heroes. Maybe I'm a little cheesy, but I don't care. Here are some suggestions:
I guess that's it for now. I'm sure the load of clothes has got to be dry by now. And I found this to be simply amazing...

"I was funkified before, I'm gonna get funkified again!"
i wish i was tired right now. i can already tell tomorrow is going to be a rough one. class non stop from 8:30-1:30 is NOT what i call fun. but only 2 more weeks of bowling and then i'll have an hour gap...and then a week later ice age will be over so then my mornings will be a breeze. yay. i'm thinking this week should be a pretty good one - class and homework all day monday and wednesday, work all day tuesday [which i'm thrilled about], work thursday morning and one class...and then i'm off to the big apple!! i know i haven't stopped talking about it but i'm soooooooo excited. a little nervous to get from laguardia to brian's apartment, but i found a bus schedule online and i think i'll be ok. we don't really have any set plans....which i like, because i'm a 'play it by ear' kind of person. i know we'll hit up the met for a bit, but i'm really ok with just walking around and people watching since i've done all the touristy stuff before.
i've got a midterm on wednesday for e-marketing and i have no clue where to even begin studying. i'm half tempted to just wing it. i have a digital imaging 2 project due on thursday, which i've already completed, so go me! we had to do a non-traditional portrait of someone, so i choose the wonderful andrew mcmahon. here it is:
i kind of like it. more importantly, my teacher likes it, so i should be good to go. i no longer feel like i'm suffocating in a sea of school. i've got a pretty nailed down concept for my logo re-design and now it's just tweaking and stuff on the vector part of it -- the typography looks pretty damn good so says my teacher. last week in pro-photo, i shot food. so now i've got 37 frames that i have to weed through and decide which is the best one to hand in. kind of tedious, but i'd rather shoot digital than with 4x5's any day. it's so much faster and cheaper to do it this way, so i'm glad we've converted. and to be honest, i'd rather just pay a photographer to take the pictures instead of dealing with it. i think this is the shot i might go with, but it might need a little touching up:
i wanted to do a food that was more exciting, but i had to put a lot of limitations on it because i was going to be leaving the house and 7 am and the food was going to need to travel to and form solon and sit in my car for 5 hours. i guess it turned out ok. the muffins were pretty good at least.
the schedule of classes is being 'released' tomorrow morning for the spring. not gonna lie, i'm kind of nervous. first of all, i can't believe that this will be my last time ever scheduling classes. and i only have 4 classes left to take, but i fear that somehow the times will clash and i wont be able to graduate in may. and i really hope that the times work well with me working too. i don't want to quit slash i can't afford to leave. i really do enjoy working there. and the experience is awesome -- much more than i was originally anticipating!
i have to wake up in 7 hours....guess i should force myself to lay down and try and sleep.
NYC IN FOUR DAYS!! :D

Fate is an elegant, cold-hearted whore...
thank the lord for good music. it's the only thing that seems to keep me sane these days. the new spill canvas cd is phenomenal. seriously, check it out. i'm still searching for the song that andrew mcmahon does guest work on, but i dont mind listening to the cd on repeat to figure it out. speaking of andrew, i feel like we need some new soco or jm music these days.
school makes me want to blow my face off with a glock nine. i dont even know if it's possible but whatever.
i hate school. and it's not like," oh this is annoying that i have to be in class instead of watching tv or hanging out with my friends"...it's more like "i'm going to shoot my fucking face off because i absolutely hate every single aspect of every single class i am enrolled in." there is nothing enjoyable about this semester. except bowling, now that i can actually bowl and i stopped pulling the muscle in my ass. i bowled a 129 on monday! but that class is ending in 2 weeks. i started the ice age class on monday and that was stupid. i feel like i'm going to be skipping it often. i think i can get a D in it and it still wont affect my gpa because it's only a one credit class.
i think i'm going to go apple picking this weekend. david told me about this place in kent that i think i want to check out. i think they have pumpkins too, which i want to carve and then also bake the seeds. yummm. there goes the diet out the window. i also maybe want to go to the art museam. its so bizarre...i really crave doing things that i'd normally do with my parents. i'm already looking sooo forward to my trip to florida with mi madre in january. the flight has officially been booked.
we're using brand new digital cammys in my pro photo class and i want one sooooo bad. but a decent low end SLR goes for about $1200 these days. and i don't really have that kind of money laying around. i need to get my piece of shit nikon fixed before my warrenty is up. maybe i'll do that when i return from nyc. it still takes decent pics in the daylight. the flash just doesn't really work.
i can't wait for thursday. thats what i live for these days. a new episode of greys. and then going to thursdays to dance the night away. i. cant. wait. and i get to sleep in on friday because i've got the stupid ice age class so i wont be going into work until noon.
LA Ink always seems to be on tv when i'm trying to fall asleep [which has been quite a job these days] and watching it always makes me reeeeeeally want a new tattoo. not that i really know what i want, the location on my body, the place where i'd have it done at or the fact that i have no money for one, but i just want one anyways.
i hate that i'm so bitter and cynical these days. maybe it's the weather? i'm sick of summer. yeah, i said it.

no we're never gonna survive, unless we get a little crazy....
back in the day when i was retarded [really, i was! oh, and it was a tuesday by the way], my tire swing/tree fort was my most favorite thing ever. good thing i was easily amused. my dad mailed me this picture a few days and i can't stop looking at it. i wish i was 5 again. and how cute is my dad? sometimes he drives me absolutely nuts with his a.d.d. but it's probably because we're like half the same person. i think i got a good 50/50 mix of personality type things from my parents. weird how that stuff works out.
i feel like i'm drowning in school work. it neeeeever ever ends. i look at my 17x23 [weird sized] dry erase board and it's covered with all the tests and papers and projects i have to get done. these days, the highlights of my week seem to be going to work. pathetic but whatever. i'm so grateful that i at least like my job. may 10/11 seems forever away. before, i was not looking forward to graduating at all and being done with school/being irresponsible...but now i feel like school is sucking the life right out of me and i'm ready to go back to work 40 hours a week and not having anything to do on the weekends but laundry and grocery shop. i sound like an old lady.
i keep getting the most bizarre muscle spasms in my right hand, in the thumb/palm area.
alanis morrisette did a cover of seal's "crazy" and i can't decide which one i like better. little fun fact: i have 9 songs in my itunes that have the word "crazy" in the title.
last week, when it started to become fall, i was really happy. now it's hot again and i have to keep my a/c on. i'm ready for it to become fall again. i like my hair better when it's straight. and wearing sweaters and hoodies makes me happy.

...and so this begins
because procrastinating is one of my best skills, i've managed to "stumble upon" this site...and decided to take up the ever so popular blogging. i'll be approaching this, as i do with everything else in life, by playing it by ear.
Explosions in the Sky = an incredible fully instrumental rock band. you should probably check them out and then thank me later :)
NYC IN 18 DAYS!!! i don't think i've ever been this excited for something before. i miss my brother. i took it so much for granted when he was still living 45 minutes away....i got to see him when i wanted to, when it was convenient for me...and now i don't have that option. but NYC??.....freaking awesome if you ask me.
good 'ol andy warhol. i love this:
