I don't post on here enough. This summer, I'll work on it.

Maybe.... :)


Also, this week has been exhausting.
Graduation week is always so ridiculously busy at work.
BUT, after Saturday's two grad ceremonies it won't be TOO hectic. I'm kind of excited to work on Sat, because THE Bo Jackson is speaking at the ceremonies. Exciting, right?
If you aren't an Auburn fan, you may not know who Bo Jackson is. That's okay I guess...

If you've never listened to Emiliana Torrini, you should. She's become my new favorite recently. Go to her myspace: http://www.myspace.com/emilianatorrini
Jungle Drum is my number one favorite at the moment.

This post is a bit of a mess. It's late. I'm tired. And I don't know what to talk about...

I'll go now. Promise to write something new again soon. And next time, it won't be so spastic. (I say this, of course, to the....three.....followers I have. haha)

Be merry. And stay blessed. :)

Ups and downs.

Life is crazy lately. Lots going on....with me, with work, with my family. Mostly, I have a lot of family stuff going on. It's gotten pretty tough. So much so that I don't even feel like blogging about it. I'm sort of tired of thinking about it.

On the plus, I have been reminded lately just how awesome some of my friends are. Thanks, guys...you're keeping me sane in a big messy pile of life.

Also....
I saw Adventureland this past weekend.

It was very funny. Very charming. And an overall good time...
Though Kristen Stewart is in it, and I don't really love her.
I basically could think of a million people I'd rather see in most of the roles she plays rather than her. But, oh well...

Anyways, you should see it if you haven't already.
You should see it again if you have.


...And, I think I'd be okay if Jesse Eisenberg wanted to marry me.

I don't own emotion, I rent.

Have you seen the last performance of Rent on Broadway? They just recently released it on DVD.
I bought it last week.
It's pretty fantastic.

I love the movie, and the soundtrack...
but I didn't get to see it live while it was on Broadway (which is depressing)...
So it's nice they provided a way to show it to those of us who didn't get that opportunity.

If you haven't seen it, you should.
The cast is amazing!
Most everyone was at the very least as good as the originals.
Adam Kantor (Mark) & Will Chase (Roger) did excellent jobs with their roles.

Adam (above, left) channeled is inner Anthony Rapp...which I think is the only way to play Mark Cohen really. And Will (above, right) brought a completely new perspective to the character of Roger. It was very different from the original, but I absolutely loved it. In fact, I think I may even prefer his performance.

Anyways...this is all to say that you should see this. Even if you didn't like the movie. Even if you're not sure about the whole musical thing. It's an inspiring story, and the music isn't so bad either!

In other Rent news....I found out recently that Anthony Rapp & Adam Pascal will be reprising their roles of Mark & Roger as Rent travels to select cities around the country this year!

I can't imagine seeing these guys perform the roles they brought to life some years ago! It would be a once in a lifetime experience for me, to say the least.

The closest city that I've heard of so far is Tampa, FL.
BUT, it happens to be the week of my birthday (July 12). Fate, right?
So, does anyone want to score me some tickets?

I might love you forever.

Oh Happy Thursday!

I just got home, got off work early.
This is great, because there wasn't anything to do....
And there are plenty more things I could be doing rather than sitting at work scrambling to find SOMETHING to do. We've just been a bit slow lately.

When I was at work, though, we got news that there was a bomb threat called in. Apparently someone was going to bomb the Lowder business building. AKA, some kid didn't study for their midterm, so the figured if the building was evacuated, the test wouldn't happen. Okay, so that's not a FACT...but I have heard of people pulling fire alarms for the same reason. I guess this particular person was just a bit more on the dangerous side? Perhaps.

In other news, American Idol wild card special is tonight.
I am SO extremely upset that they chose to bring Tatiana back.

I can't stand her. Now, I love a ridiculous person every now and then...but she's just annoying. And SO self indulgent. And did anyone else notice that her accent somehow became stronger and more distinct as each episode went by? Whatever, Tatiana...just because we love Jorge and his adorable accent DOES NOT mean we will love you if you suddenly develop a stronger one. Stop being so lame and into yourself.

Speaking of ridiculous and self indulgent....
Jason Meznick from the bachelor is a total douche.
I used to think he was a sensitive and sweet guy.
But really, he cries too much, has a big nose, and I'm pretty sure he has a man crush on Chris Harrison.
In case you missed it, or haven't heard...
It came down to Melissa and Molly--- he let Molly go, and then proposed and confessed his love to Melissa. Then, on the reunion special, he DUMPED Melissa. Then asked for another chance with Molly. WHAT A FREAKIN' JERK!

Here are the highlights of his interview with Jimmy Kimmel...
(LOL @ Jimmy's response to Jason saying he and Melissa will still be friends)

GAH some people really fail at life.

I'm going to go enjoy my afternoon off. Laundry time! Woot.
Not really, but then I'm going for a walk. You should do the same if it's as lovely where you are as it is here!

I really should....

Invest in a computer that doesn't randomly decide to quit working for weeks at a time.

Things going on in my life since the last time I blogged:
-I was under the weather. Nasty cold. I'm over it now though. Mostly.
-I played Disney Scene It with my family. I won. I'm undefeated, btw.
-I narrowed down paint color choices for my room next year.
-Found my old sketchbook, got a new one, and have been painting and drawing a lot.
-We had two tornadoes touch down in the Auburn area this past Saturday.
-The next day, it snowed almost 4 inches. It was great! And cold... (I'll make a post with pictures sometime this week, hopefully...maybe.)
-Figured out what I'm doing for my sister for her birthday.
-I'm going to the Atlanta aquarium for the day over spring break. Exciting!
-I made cupcakes a few days ago using only a box of cake mix and one can of sprite.
-In making those cupcakes, and several batches over the past few months, I have realized I've basically perfected my homemade icing. It's good. You'd like it.

Oh, and also, you should know that I am basically in love with Andy Samberg...

Guys.

How is it the ones you like are the ones that ignore you,
and the ones that you don't really like won't leave you alone?

That just doesn't seem fair.

He's Just Not That Into You.

This movie was even better than I expected it to be...

Yes, it was corny.
Yes, it was girly.
Yes, some parts were predictable.

But the cast was amazing. And even though I saw more similarities between the main character, Gigi, and myself that I'd like to admit---I still walked away from it feeling happy. It's just a fun movie. For the most part. Is it silly to see a chick flick in all of it's simplicity and somehow walk away hopeful again? Probably so... But I guess i'm okay with that.

my friends all, so lovingly, pointed out the similarities between me and Gigi... and later added that they think I should cut my hair like hers. That it would fit my personality well. Now, as much as I'd LOVE to think I could pull a haircut like that off....I just have my doubts. I've been growing it out for a while, and it's gotten pretty long. I DO kind of want something different--but it's so long, i hate to just chop it all off. I'm just being indecisive as usual.
