Brüno was awesome, Harry Potter was awesome. Not enough people dressed up. Which was sad. :(

Apparently lj no longer shows any posts on your friends page that are older than two weeks? And then they didn't bother to say anything about it.

I need a new camera. Fact.

I'm thinking we should dress up in light summery clothes and take a trip out to Kensington after I hunt down our old polaroid (and see if it works, get film, switch to 35mm if needed, etc.) and we can picnic and play games and have awesome times and go for walks all over and it'll be generally awesome. Who's in?

Things I'm up to, need to do, summer 09

2009-05-29T06:09:24Z

This is mostly for me, so I can keep track of things, and that sort of thing

Full seasons 1 and 2 rewatch of Chuck
Long weekend in New York
~~Wisdom teeth out~~
Shit ton of going outside
...exercise?
New music new music new music
Reread Atonement
Read Saturday
Apply for spring semester in Bonn, look up classes, costs
Sell textbooks back
Buy a copy of Wreck This Journal, Alas I Cannot Swim, For Emma, Forever Ago, Chuck S1, and/or Arrested Development
Get a new bike
Learn new things like chess or something
Improve piano skills?
Watch a shit ton of movies
Look into getting a new camera to replace dead Fuji
Visit lots of parks
Take lots of pictures, digital and film

Sometimes I feel like the easiest goals are the hardest ones because I just never do them because they're so easy, and then they never get done
other times I try and do something that seems easy enough to accomplish but I end up having to rethink, rearrange, redo, blahblahblah blah blah only to have accomplished nothing further

DAMN it feels good to be a democrat

2009-01-20T18:14:50Z

I wrote this on my sisters wall and she seemed to really enjoy it:

I've come to the conclusion FOXNEWS is crying in the corner now that their beloved is gone

and that they're frantically searching for a way to feel better
(ie they're finding as much scotch as they possibly can)

but not really. because for them that'd be a sin

along with reporting actual facts

¡¡HAPPY OBAMA RAMA RAMA INAUGURATION DAY!!

True Facts

2009-01-07T04:44:40Z

1. When I laugh I cough like I have emphysema
2. I'm about to go to bed
3. Switching back to german was like putting on a comfy sweater, familiar and wonderful
4. I need seasons three and four of X-Files like, now
5. Every person I sat by today inched as far away from me as they could get
6. Hats can look smaller online than they really are

I'm sick! The common cold can explode for forever.

I WANT TO SEE GRAN TORINO.
My only chance to see it is tomorrow, because I go back to Western on Sunday.

It just looks so good

Merry Ludachristmas!!

2008-12-26T06:01:33Z

I have season two of 30 Rock and fluffy slippers. Life is good.

IKEA tomorrow!

burtonworshiper @ 2008-12-21T23:23:00

2008-12-22T04:33:55Z

Oh my god, I want these so. bad.

I'm finding I have a love for aprons.

Pancake lunch sometime after this week, fo sho

I just love him!

2008-12-19T04:00:37Z

Jack McBrayer is probably my favorite person right now. Just because he pretty much is Kenneth.

2008-12-18T04:51:31Z

I'm still ridiculously upset they canceled Pushing Daisies. You don't even know.
I keep sleeping the day away, and being lazy. I need to actually get up and do things.
The snow is pretty. My family is annoying me. I'm tired of chores.

Every time I see a Baldwin brother that's not Alec I can't help but picture Alec instead. Basically, I only see Alec Baldwin, and there are four of him.
And then there's Adam Baldwin, who's not related to them at all, he just shares their last name, and looks nothing like them.

I put the lights on the Christmas! tree today and it stabbed me. Repeatedly.
It's a scotch pine? instead of a douglas fir, and it hurts like a BITCH. It smells fantastic though, and has a nice shape, so I can't complain tooo much.

Christmas! Christmas! Christmas!

Tomorrow I have to finish decorating it.

put the lights on the tree (put them on the tree put them on the tree)

Haircut on Friday! :)
this really had no point. ohhh well.
I like being home.

2008-12-13T05:30:38Z

Today was lazy. I basically just crashed after the past few weeks of workworkworkstudystudystudy.

I've seen some of youuu and it makes me happy
But what makes me happier is getting to see ALL of you

Tomorrow we dig out all the Christmas! decorations and set up the tree :)

I think the thing I look forward to the most is the amount of food I plan on making and eating. Cookies and cakes and quesadillas and pancakes and waffles and pasta and fries and anything else I can think of.

At risk of sounding like a crazy cat lady, I really love being able to see the cats. Fuzzy furry creatures of fluff. Oh how I've missed them so!

My little mouth, my winter lungs, don't tell me what can not be done

2008-12-10T02:04:52Z

1. Jaclyn and I had the same away message on aim. HAHA TWINS.
2. I was watching Animaniacs with a friend of the opposite sex (OMGGG BOY) in the study lounge, and a bunch of girls on my floor came in for a floor meeting, and after he left and I came back I kept getting "OMG WERE YOU WATCHING A MOVIE WITH A BOY???? WHO WAS THAT???"
...because that's illegal? I don't have friends? it's so out of this world to think I do things other than study?
And you expect me to tell you what I did because we are just such great friends?? Really? Honestly, why would I share details of my life with a bunch of girls I can't stand?
3. I burned my tongue on hot chocolate while sitting through one of the most boring meetings of my life.
4. I should have been studying, I should be studying, I probably won't be studying.

I won't lie though, not studying was completely worth it.

Question.

Why don't I live in ikea?

Look at these kitchens. Why don't I have one? I especially like the last one.

Jaclyn and I will do this. For real.

Productive...not

2008-12-07T02:18:09Z

Today I've spent a minimum of 5 hours just watching the snow fall and listening to Sufjan Stevens Songs for Christmas

Right now I'm watching Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous

How I feel this week:

Thank you finals and end of the semester.

There's so much snow, but no one around who likes it :(

It's Christmas! Let's be Glad!

2008-12-06T00:12:50Z

Today wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be, but it was pleasant.

You know how sometimes just seeing one person can make your day better? But talking to them even for a few minutes makes it fantastic? I like when that happens. :)

Comedy night last night was fantastic. I come home next Thursday! :D

ALSO. MARK YOUR CALENDARS. TUESDAY THE 16th. A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS.

!!!

2008-12-05T02:16:13Z

...and then I exploded.

But not really, because Alicia pretty much for sure moves out next Wednesday, my 8 page paper is over with, and I go home next Thursday. Also, this weekend (or at the very least tomorrow) has the possibility of being very, very good.

I'm excited to go to Ernie's at some point during break. I want one of those sandwiches so bad right now. Although I did have a pretty decent sandwich for dinner tonight. It was kind of like an italian sub but with some things missing and some things added. Nowhere near as good as Ernie's, but it'll hold me over till I come home.

I'm excited that it's been snowing a lot lately. Sadly though it hasn't been lasting for very long.
Today was a good hair day, my curls were well behaved. Even after a two hour nap :)

Sneetches and beaches?!

2008-12-02T01:17:10Z

I haven't got heels anymore! D:
I wore my new boots because it snowed a bunch, but they haven't been broken in so they attacked.

I had my french oral final exam today, which was basically her asking me five questions in french and me answering them. Only I could only speak in german, so when she asked me to describe my room, I could only pull "My bed is pink" out of my ass. This of course, is not true, but I rolled with it and fumbled my way through. Hooorah!

There was a Dr. Seuss-a-thon on abcfamily tonight and I watched it. Childhood!

I wore my Köln shirt today and it made me happy :)

remember cuddles in the kitchen

2008-11-30T21:57:39Z

This morning I took the train from downtown Detroit and it made me want to go exploring in Detroit. And then because it's the train and it takes four hours to get anywhere I thought of more things to do when we're on break.

Snowman/sledding/something with snow!
Explore the D!
GIRL TALK!
Get good pizza
Watch Animaniacs?
Leo's!
The Zoo!
~~Visiting Santa at~~ Greenfield Village/Henry Ford?
Eat, drink, and be merry!

I thought of other things that were better but I can't remember what they are right now. :(

The whole train ride I just wanted to curl up under a blanket and fall asleep, but the guy next to me was blabbing into his phone for the entire trip. Also I didn't have a blanket. And I hope that guy had unlimited minutes or something, because if not his phone bill's gonna suck assss

I have an 8 page paper due Thursday and it makes me want to cry. Poop.

GAH! COLD!

2008-11-30T06:31:18Z

I always forget how cold our house can be!

I think everyone should make me a mixed cd or just a cd of whoever their favorite artist is at the moment and then I'll make them something (once I get to the store and buy cds) in return. This is mostly brought on by the lack of good music in my dorm, and the fact that I can't get the radio to find a station that isn't country or NPR (cause they don't really play music) and miss new music. So yes, I'm totally down with Kanye and Usher and anyone else you feel like putting on there that I don't normally listen to, because I miss DIVERSITY!
Songs about fried chicken just don't cut it.

Things to look forward to in two weeks:

I will make pancakes! People will eat them?
Charlie Brown Charlie Brown!
Rudolph, the Island of Misfit Toys, and that little elf dentist
One or more viewings of Elf?
Seeing all of you!!!!

I enjoyed these tonight:

What's that?

2008-11-27T16:11:17Z

Oh, only that back in the fall Alicia applied for an internship at Disney World for spring semester.

AND SHE GOT IT

Why hello room to myself, assuming they don't stick some poor girl with me. But hey, I'm down with that, because just about anything is better than seeing Alicia's bare ass every time I look up from my computer.

I AM SO EXCITED

~~i may or may not have already planned out how i'm going to rearrange the room~~

also, lol at Brooke Hogan being at the parade this year. BAHAHAHAHAAAAAA
