Double Deuce!

I'm 22 today, hooray!

Alex & Nick made my birthday really special this year :) They made the drive up and decorated my apt! Alex even bought gifts for Dakota (his/our dog) to give me, lol. It was precious. When I got a card that said "mommy," I was like "what is this?" lol!

Anyway, I love all my wonderful friends & my super amazing boyfriend :0)

Happy birthday to me!

1 week till my birthday!!

I turn 22 next Monday!

It will be pretty close to my 21st. See, I didn't have your standard "get wasted 21st," I had what I like to call the "classy 21st." I went out to dinner with friends and had a couple drinks then went home and watched a movie with them.

This year we're going to my favorite restaurant then heading back to the apartment for some games & a lil drinking ;)

22. Hopefully it will be a good year! 21 wasn't so hot actually. I broke my ankle, discovered I have some strange allergy, my grandmother passed away, and..I made a lot of self discoveries. But hey, I met my wonderful man-friend!! (Our 10 month is tomorrow...my longest relationship with no breakups, lol)

Tomorrow's election day. I voted early. It was my first time. I don't think I really got to experience it in all it's glory by voting on campus. By I did it, nonetheless! Obama, of course, was my selection for presidency. Not that I like him. I don't like either candidate. But I am more democratic so I side with a lot of Obama's policies and plans. McCain was a really good looking young man, though. I'll give him that. If nothing else it was worth voting for Obama just for the simple fact I think the world would fall apart if something happened to McCain and Palin became Chief of State. Can you imagine a hockey mom as president? Like Matt Damon said in an interview, "it would be a bad Disney movie"!

Anyway, I hope I have a good birthday celebration Saturday. Alex & Nick will both be here! Yay!

gross gross GROSS!

so, i just had a quiz in my 1 p.m. class that i didn't know about...i probably didn't know about it because i was distracted in wednesday's class!

why was i distracted???

because some 19-year-old young man was picking his nose! who does this in public?! go to the bathroom and get some tissue! and not just a casual pick, it was a i'm-digging-deep pick.

now, not only was he picking his nose, this guy was inspecting his findings, then EATING them! i am just totally baffled by anyone that can do this. you learn by the age of what, 5, that that is not acceptable behavior. and this guy wasn't picking them then going "man, i have no place to put this," but it was rather he really was picking them to eat. like he enjoyed the taste of boogars. wow.

so i hope i've disgusted you enough for one day. please don't eat your boogars. and please don't pick your nose around me. thanks!

...i hope i did okay on my quiz...

the extinction of the most beautiful creature

so i believe it was today or yesterday that i was in a class and someone casually told me, "did you know redheads are going to be extinct soon?"

my response was, "yeah, ok. people come up with the darndest stuff. how is that even possible?"

apparently, it's true. by the year 2100, all redheads will be extinct. so we only have 91ish more years! how awful!

so...this makes me wonder....

if people know this information, are they going to put us on display at a zoo so all the blondes and brunettes can admire us? or are they going to create a preserve where we all live together and make little redheaded babies?

ha, i recently saw the movie blindness and loved it...everyone was blind except Julianne Moore's character (which they made BLONDE) ..so what if i was the last red head, ever? no more pale skin and freckles. no more beautiful hair that reminds me of a sunset. gosh, what would men do, such as my boyfriend, that melt over redheads??

i know i will be long gone before 2100, but please don't let "my people" go extinct!
..but i'm sure some miracle redhead-saving drug will be created before that ;)

It's SHHHOWTIME! (& a lesson for all)

Hola!

So i'm finally in a theatre production this semester!!

I play the role of Miss Watson, a 50ish-year-old Bible thumper and caretaker of Huckleberry Finn in the musical Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn! (It's a small part, but I get to be in the whole play as ensemble...p.s. there isn't really a major role for a female in the play)

I had my first fitting today! It is so exciting to have people make clothes for you...and design your makeup and hair! It's probably the best/be the best experience ever..i totally want to be an actress all my life...if i had that choice :)


It takes the stage November 18-22 & we have rehearsal every single day and night until then, but it is so worth it. It's the part of my day i look forward to. Everyone come see it!

So in other news, my job is going well. I'm an intern for Planned Parenthood and am an advocate on my campus to promote sex education, safe sex, good health and pro-choice information.

Gosh, people are so ignorant when it comes to being pro-choice. PRO-CHOICE does NOT mean PRO-ABORTION!! It means: keep the damn government out of my uterus and let me make my own decisions! Whether or not you are an individual that would get an abortion because: a. you don't want children b. are raped c. don't have the financial stability or not at a place in your life to raise a child..you can still believe every woman has the right to make their own decision. AND for all of those that think Planned Parenthood = abortion clinic...WRONG! The one I work for doesn't even perform them. They are only at select locations and it's not like "boom, it's gone!," they present the patient with all their options and guide them through counseling before and after. 94% of Planned Parenthood's services have NOTHING to do with the "Big A." They want women and men to be in good health and love the way they want, safely. They are an organization about prevention. Yeah, so i'm on a rant now...but seriously...people need to know their facts...especially with the election coming up in a couple of weeks. Issues are important!

Well, off to rehearsal I go :)

Late night ramblings

so i woke up about half an hour ago...it's now 1:25am. for whatever reason, i decided to get on my laptop...so far it's been uneventful, but i didn't feel i could sleep. at least i feel better. i remember getting off the phone and going to bed at 10:30 with a headache and the feeling i was going to see my dinner again...!
enough grossness for one post..

so i was reading my cousin Valarie's blog about how she met her future husband. adorable! naturally, it makes me think of Alex :) so we're moving in together after i graduate...which is now in 7 months and 2 days. i'm really excited! Alex is my best friend and the only person i can be my total self with. i'm so glad he puts up with my shenanigans :) but the point is, he's wonderful and i'm never letting him go without a fight. living with him will be wonderful!! i'll never have to whine about being far away again. see we've been dating since January 4, 2008 but i'm 3 hours away at school. it's really not too bad though; makes me appreciate our time and so far the longest i've had to go without seeing him was 3 weeks. it could be worse. he's coming in this weekend! with Dakota (his dog)! she's my baby :) he's so good to me and i can't wait to share a bed with him permanently. and a garage. and all the other fun stuff.

i love him. he's the one.

The first of many

hello. it's a friday afternoon and i can't stand to be awake --but i know i have to. too many things to do. sleep is for the weak!

anyway, i'm starting this little blog here. maybe it'll help me release those so called "toxins" from my mind. i don't know why i didn't start one sooner...i'm a journalism major for chist's sake..i have more than enough to write about.

so i'm in one of those slumps of not really wanting to do anything when you have everything in the world to do. i take on way too much responsibility, but it's my own way of preparing myself for the future. i want a good job. i want to be impressive. i don't think it's working. but i guess running the roads all day long from this meeting to this rehearsal to this event is better than being bored and lonely. although, everyone needs a bit of bored and lonely in their life. i have been feeling a tad lonely just surely not bored. my boyfriend's long distance and ever since i quit my sorority i haven't been surrounded by many friends. isn't it ridiculous how you can lose contact with someone who lives 5 minutes away? or in the next building at your apartment complex? then that brings the age-old saying that it takes two to make a relationship work. well, my defense to that is i'm too damn tired to exert any energy on socializing...lol. so it can be said all i really need in my life right now is some energy! can i borrow some from you?

well i'm off to "enjoy" the rest of my mildly packed schedule and lackluster social life. farewell.
