bring it, 2010.
I’m not a fan of the end of the year surveys that everyone posts around New Years, but I see the necessity for them. It seems like we all try to measure our progress in life by achievements, not staying single (or staying single, in some cases), or various other activities that we have done in prior years or will do again next year.
I have a different approach to it. I measure the year in...
fuck yeah, we can live like this
So, last.fm is a pretty remarkable site, where you download a Scrobbler and it develops your most played artists, gives you recommendations, tells you about upcoming events of artists you like, and enables you to stream music you’ve played recently.
Mine tells me: I listen to music WAY too much, subconsciously like Jimmy Eat World more than The Killers, and that my bands aren’t really...

I’m Jack’s Mannequin’ing SO HARD right now.
I think this is part of my Twitter issue - I compulsively want to talk about what I’m loving or hating or experiencing or whatever. That probably makes me a narcissist.

I really wanted to make it to Newport one last time before I left for home, because being at Newport clears my mind. I’ll...
last christmas, i gave you my heart
I really like Christmas. REALLY.
Here’s my rationale:

To make up for it, my parents were always extravagant gift givers. My sister and I always had just incredible Christmas presents. INCREDIBLE. The stuff dreams are made of. That’s...
i'll be on my own, so i'll turn around/you won't...
I had a bit of a moment last night, when I looked at my program evaluation and what’s left to take. I currently only need to take 7 (SEVEN!) classes to graduate. That’s GE’s, major requirements, electives. I’ve added an additional 4 to fulfill my Comm Studies minor.
So… that’s 33 credits away from the real world. I’m a little terrified and not totally...

In Business French, we watched “Vénus beauté,” a film about beauticians and their love lives. Still no idea what it had to do with Business French as everything they did in the film was extremely unprofessional, but it was still an incredible film.
I really enjoy French films because it seems as if they don’t dedicate themselves to happily-ever-after. Take, for example, Cyrano...
playing catch-up
I have a specific list of films I need to see now.

if the silence takes you, then I hope it takes me...
I have wonderful, wonderful, wonderful friends, wonderful parents, a wonderful sister. I feel so lucky to have such great people in my life.
