Long time, no write

Yeah, so I suppose I'm really bad at keeping up with this blog considering I'm pretty sure it's been a year since my last post... oops.

Hmmm, well I'm not quite sure where to start now. There's been too many things that have happened over the past year that I don't think I can spew them out all at once without boring y'all to death. So I suppose I'll just give them to you guys in little installments.

But just so you'll look forward to visiting this page, I can provide you with a teeny tiny summary of the things that have happened over the year:

1. I started my senior year of college! Woot woot! That also means that I finished my last year of college... sad.
2. I've become obsessed with seeing musicals! Particularly, one called "American Idiot"
3. Team Spontaneity, GO!
4. GRADUATION!

Most especially, this past year, I met some of the most wonderful people in the world, and strengthened already existing relationships. In short, it has been one of the best years of my life. I'm excited to share my stories with all of you soon!

Illegal Aspirations

OK, so I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. Since the moment I watched the movie "Ocean's Eleven," I've had the secret desire to be intelligent enough to be able to rob, not one, but three Las Vegas casinos in one and virtually get away with it.

But here's the thing, I'm not one who gives a damn about how much money I have in my bank account. I like living comfortably, but not lavishly... it's just not my thing. So, what's a girl, who doesn't give a damn about how much money she has in her bank, to do with briefcases filled with millions of dollars in cash?

Give it to someone else, of course. Someone more deserving...

Being the modern-day Robin Hood, I suppose...

But seeing as that stealing is

#1: morally incorrect,
#2: impossible for the person who is a horrible liar to do,
#3: extremely difficult for my wee little brain to handle,
#4: the gateway to spending a good part of my life behind prison bars,

I think I'm gonna trash that dream, and, rather, live vicariously through these folks right here:

Oh my dearests Eliot, Sophie, Nate, Parker, and Hardison, how you have enlightened me with your badass skills at screwing rich people over and giving all your profits to those who deserve it... you are my heroes...

"Leverage" is my new favorite show... I LOVE IT!... WATCH IT NOW!!!

Endnotes
1. This whole addiction with "Leverage" is courtesy of Austin Lee... that bastard got me hooked
2. Parker is my favorite (blonde). She's crazy, but she can come up with amazing exit strategies by jumping off buildings and crawling inside air ducts... mahahaha! SO COOL!
3. I want to be as smart as Nate (middle guy). He's the leader. He's awesome.
4. Despite Eliot's great physique, I find Hardison much more awesome.

I Can't Sleep!

Nine months of school and all I ever wanted was sleep... a necessity-turned-luxury, sleep was something I extremely lacked during my time at Cheney 113 last school year.

Due to a combination of academic, social, and at some points, physical reasons (I mean broken ribs, sicko!), sleep for me only averaged to about 3 hours a night.

So when it was finally summertime, I did what any sleep-deprived architecture student would do...I embraced the simultaneous softness and firmness of my pillows, wrapped myself in my fleece blanket and slept for two and a half weeks. The only breaks I had were during eating, mission: impossible (my mission to clean my room, which succeeded), occasional facebook chatting, and shower. And boy, my dates with my bed were oh-so-sweet....... until now....

I guess when you sleep for that long, your sleeping pattern gets all screwed up and whatnot. Now, it's one o'clock in the morning and I am WIDE AWAKE. I drank my chamomile tea, I listened to my lullabies, I turned off all my lights, and still, I tossed and turned in my bed for an hour and a half.

Oh sleep, why must you do this to me when I actually have something to do early tomorrow???
