week in a flash (week 21)

1. We have a slight invasion of box-elder bugs here at the hotel and every morning I can hear my landlord walking around the complex killing them with a fly-swatter…I think the bugs are winning the war

2. The other day I went to log in to wordpress and I accidentally misspelled my username as “gothiqued,” I’m thinking there’s some significance there, so what do you think the definition of “gothiqued” is?  I haven’t decided yet, I’ll let you know when I figure it out in the meantime feel free to toss me a few definitions.  :D

3. Leaving for Denver on Thursday with the PRSSA club on campus and I’m excited but at the same time I kind of wish that I could go solo in my own vehicle and stay there all weekend…oh well, I’m sure I’ll have fun anyway!!

4. Been eating Pork and Chicken Eggrolls and Cheese Wontons this week…Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!  I’m becoming corrupted, aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

5. Days to graduation = 41

6. In reference to the above – it hit me the other day that by the end of the month I’ll have a little over a month before I’ll be a graduate and then it occurred to me that by Thanksgiving it’ll be just a few weeks and I’ll be done with school…I think I’ve moved past the excited stage and am now in the freakout stage…

7. I miss writing stories…  :(

8. Hell week(s) continue

9. I just learned that Yellowcard is going to come out with a new CD, eeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I was apparently wrong when I said a few months ago that they were broken up and I couldn’t be happier… you know, about being wrong??!!

10. tired, tired, tired…

11. One of my plants is in the final throes of death…poor thing  :(

week in a flash (week 4)

1. I watched two awesome movies this week.  One was awesomely good (btw if you ever want to hear Kate Hudson sing, rent Nine, it rocks!) and the other was awesomely bad, I knew it would be that’s why I rented it. :D

2. Have you ever had moments when you felt wise beyond your years and then had moments where you felt extremely immature?

3. A few years back I started doing this thing where I say to myself “I love my life, I love my life, I love my life,” I started doing it because I noticed than as soon as I started focusing on how everything was going wrong it was easy to fall into a depressive, dark way of thinking where I would start saying things to myself like “I hate my life” and other such things that I won’t deign to put in print ’cause they don’t belong in my head.  I don’t say “I love my life, I love my life, I love my life” to try to erase anything that might be going wrong or anything that’s hurtful to me or to convince myself that things will get better; it’s just a way to remind myself that I’ve got a reason to live and that HE’s always with me.  Sooo…I love my life, I love my life, I love my life.

4. My bro may disown me for saying this but the Twilight saga has got some great characters…too bad they are stuck in one of the worst stories ever written.

5. With regards to a week two comment I made about people, I also want to say that people can also be amazingly compassionate and just plain nice.

6. My summer class starts in a few weeks.  I’m a little nervous.

7.Would you hate me if I said that I actually like Tim Burton’s adaptation of Alice in Wonderland and absolutely hate the book?

8. Two of the best sounds in my world at the moment – the crack of thunder, just the way it rumbles and rolls across the sky and how everything trembles and shakes when it’s really loud – in my opinion there is nothing more breathtaking, terrifying and beautiful all at the same time, love it!  And the sound Jack (my Jeep) makes when it accelerates, the raw horsepower and the strength is thrilling.  Granted Jack doesn’t corner like it’s in the Indy 500 the way Baby (my Honda) did but I love ‘im anyway.  (Yes I name my cars, get over it :D)

9. Happy Father’s Day mi padre! (and all the other wonderful fathers out there)

10. Even though you are underway right now and probably won’t see this for a few more weeks, Hippo Birdies bro!!
