come together

right now i'm sitting in Larsen waiting for our LOCK IN to begin! i will check in on the hour EVERY hour.

Hour 1 - 11:59 - we have already had 3 dropouts. you know what i call that? a QUITTER. we are sitting in the computer lab escapiiiinnnng NOW.

Hour 2 - 12:58 - we are currently sitting in complete darkness in Kresge... watching Achmed the dead terrorist... and being hungry and sleepy all at the same time. Jasper made the speakers go BAH! and we... we all jumped... stay tuned happy people of blog world... this could get interesting. There's pizza rolls involved... :0)

Hour 3 - 2:05 - we JUST survived a public safety scare... we were in Kresge and tia sent us a text message saying "GO!" us in kresge thought it meant... "come out they are gone... let us eat!" no. no no it was Pubical Safety ON THE MOVEONTHEMOVE. we turned off Ugly Betty and stealth moved over to opposite corners of Kresge... and WAITED. for EVER. omg who knew Pubes were so SLOW at locking up Larsen?! i swear 6 years later we heard them checking the locks of Kresge. Oddly enough I felt like i was in the sound of music because someone kept shining a FLASHLIGHT our way *coughjaspercough* and FARTING. yeah. same person. so someone came and knocked on the door up top and... we didn't move like good little steathies and it was Tia saying WE'RE FREEEEEEEEE!! we took a picture. and then got ALL the food and started watching mean girls... meanwhile... strength is dwindling.......

Hour 4 - 3:00 - Mean Girls is going strong *say crack again* CRACK. but we are not... kristen is full on asleep... Tia is kind of asleep? and Jasper is the equivalent to drunk now... he's all over the place... but the pizza rolls were good! they're gone now. ooo Hot Wing and Blue Cheese Doritos? not. a good invention. Sweet Spicy Chili Doritos? JACK. POT.

Hour 5 - 4:00 - our numbers have dwindled... there are only 3 of us now... tia kristen and myself. after mean girls we lost 3 people to church and homework... sad... only the faithful survive... we are going to take a little nap in kresge especially since they don't CHECK the upstairs doors... stay tuned blog world...

Hour 6 - 5AM - alarms! oh... just tia's alarm. It's almost 5 am! PUBES COMES BACK AT 5! SCRAMBLING AND PICKING UP OF BLANKETS! stealth move downtstairs to the recruiter office pack up our things and jet out of there victorious and to sweet sleep in our own beds.

we have just spent a successful night in a building locked down and checked by Pubic Safety themselves. Risky? Maybe not as risQUE as some people would think but for us? definitely FREAKIN SWEET. Fun as heck? PSH. yes. mean girls at 3 am with pizza rolls?? come ON!!!!

I am glad i got to be a part of this as a kind of a last... HURRAH if you will. I was a part of the first annual larsen lock-in. a tradition no a STANDARD set... for generations to come. *american flag comes up behind me waving proudly* as i boldly walk into my future! i will leave behind a legacy of watching movies at 3 am! running SPRINTING at the slightest sound... and evading... THE MAN. *tear!* hahahaha

best days best days!

i just want to say that the past few days have been AMAZING. my show is coming along! the light... i see it... i went to the gospel choir concert and... it was just so awesome. to all who missed it? one word. unlucky. (like having a tall grandmother) i've been focusing i KNOCKED my pieces out of the park i finally finished A Bird's Song - a piece... that turned out kiiinda morbid! its ok. i know why... it was an emotional piece that started out like 'i'm sending you away' but ended up like 'i'm cutting you out of my life' soooo. end of that story. and i finished the Prudential Plaza AMEN finally and it looks good! SO! PTL amen lets move on to finishing advanced photo and graphic advertising II! aaaaawesome! ok!

i'm also going to Wildwood tomorrow and i'm really excited! also excited for Tuesday... and next tuesday... and this friday... and next thursday... and next next next saturday :0).

i feel like 60 times better! seriously! i cranked out pieces and adjusted them and... i just i'm more focused! its AWESOME! now that i'm not tired at all i need to go to bed for church in the morning! okay!... okaybyyye

honest to blog?

the past few days have been wonderful and i'd just enjoooy sharin'

today i went to a bridal shower and was actually social. i have a hard time with being social its happened like that my whole life. i feel like if i don't have plans for the weekend i'm obviously a loser. since this happens 99.9999999997 percent of the time i obviously feel loserish. tonight was a bit of a stretch and i enjoyed it. bridal shower gifts are the BEST... including the MINTY ky TINGLING warming gel hahaha. i also made tortellini tonight... i'm impressed with my OWN self! AND my friend maggie gave me an AWESOME gift of tea pot shaped cookies and a tea-for-one teapot and mug!!! i cried... and a cd (stars! whoo!) and a dvd... it was SO unexpected and awesome! i finally found some friends! PTL y'all ptl haha

in other news i walked home in the rain last night listening to the Amelie soundtrack. is that not the most romantic thing you've ever heard? it was such a peaceful rain and i just enjoyed it so much... i wish i could have stayed out forever. i cleared my head and just... relaxed. i also watched all of the episodes of Miss Guided on ABC online with my roommate. good show! watch it!

the day before that was good but i don't remember why... haha it was just a good mood day! oh i remember! in the morning i went to Jewel and bought grapes and pistachios (two of my favorite foods) and treated myself to a lunch of sweet and sour chicken and a dessert of rangoons :) i was alone and enjoyed being alone it was an amazing feeling.

new realization! i have recently started dealing with a lot of issues in my life and am beginning to see myself in a new light. i am starting to embrace the fact that i am single and will be for some time and i really want to enjoy it! i am also getting more into the Bible more and devotions and its to the point where i have bad days without talking to God (i mean obviously) and i'm just more peaceful and happy... i'm still working on things like my relationship with my dad. i'm learning to forgive him before actually moving on to a healthy relationship with him. i really want to have a strong relationship with God and i feel like i'm finally getting help and moving forward and becoming a young woman finally. i'm also trying to work on the weight too... i started taking vitamins and i just need to work on walking more like around the block n stuff... if anyone feels like joining? come on with me. this week as stressful as it potentially could have been was really nice. cept tuesday was bad... really bad but its better now! it stopped being so dang gloomy haha
