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.

What's my age again?

This isn't an actual full length blog. That I'll be doing tomorrow.

However, for now, I just want to say....

BLINK 182
IS
BACK!!!

If you watched the Grammy's, you know this already.
If you didn't, you're so very welcome.

I'm pretty excited.

...well, i'm thinking happy thoughts now. i hope you are too :)

When it rains, it pours.

I'm starting to really agree with that cliche...
And, it's raining outside. How fitting, right?

I don't even want to go into details, because that would be one depressing blog. But basically, I feel as though if something CAN go wrong, it most definitely does.

I found out today that the person I was going to be living with next year can't live with me anymore. Her sister decided that she doesn't want to live in the dorms and so their parents say they have to live together now. I get it, I understand---I really do. My sister and I were supposed to room together if she went to Auburn. But it's just upsetting. Not only am I just sad not to get to live with her....but now I'm stuck: the last day to renew my lease at my one bedroom was last week. I have no idea what to do.

Anybody need a roomate?

I'm done with depressing news. I want to talk about something more happy....

Suddenly I'm drawing a blank. I've just got a serious case of the Mondays. Maybe I should leave, read some of my book, doodle in the ole sketchbook, or listen to the she & him album...and then come back and do a better blog later. Yeah, I'll try that.

Thanks for reading. I needed the mini-vent.
