December 2008
I hope everyone has a happy and healthy New Year!
I just wish it would stop snowing…
Merry Christmas!
An overload of Christmas cheer will be happening tonight, as it is my best friend’s annual Holiday party. I’m excited to see the faces of my friends. Being together, cozy and warm, is what the holidays is all about. :)
Jimmy Eat World tickets are going on sale in a half hour for their Clarity tour at House of Blues in Boston. I’m hoping that I can snag two tickets for me and my best friend, as a Christmas gift to her. I haven’t seen Jimmy Eat World live since 2005 when they opened up for Green Day. Plus, they are one of my best friend’s favorite bands, and I’d love to surprise her with...
My Jetta is currently in the shop. It might not be drivable even after it’s looked at. Apparently, it has all kinds of rust, and it’s rotting, particularly a part near my engine that the mechanic said if I hit one major pot hole, my car could have completely fallen apart. I don’t know, my car is separating from itself…I’m not really sure what that means, but it...
Now that I am officially on winter break, I have no idea what to do with myself. Of course, I could be working on my thesis. I could also be working on filling out applications for the Denver Publishing Institute and the NYU Publishing Institute. I will do these things, they’re my only goal for the break, but I’ve decided that they can be put off until after Christmas. Or, maybe not....
I am a genius and have finally figured out Twitter…sort of. Exciting, but now it’s one more thing for me to get addicted to. Is there rehab for these types of things? I’m conquering the computer world little by little. Soon I will be a master…haha…right.
Planning on doing some Christmas shopping today. I’m cutting it close this year, hopefully I will find some good stuff for the ones I love.
I just learned, thanks to my roommate, that the actor that plays Miley Cyrus’ brother on the Hannah Montana show is actually 30 years old and married. THIRTY! I know that this is probably old news, but I am shocked! He’s kind of a creep. Here’s the imdb link: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1489118/

I really wish I lived in Los Angeles, or in the general vicinity of the City of Angels. Instead, I live all the way on the stupid East Coast, and therefore, I will be missing Phantom Planet’s last show (possibly ever) tonight at The Troubadour. :(
At one point, I was so close to buying a plane ticket and a concert ticket and just going, and saying one big screw you to my finals. But, of...
One final down, three to go.
“I’m not sure what’s this life is about. I can’t make nickels out of it. I’m just a kid that grew up too fast. Take me back, I want to go back to the days when I was a kid, blue pyjamas and all the hope in the world. Life was perfect then…
I’m not in love now, but I will be someday.”
Backseat Goodbye,...
Classes are officially over.
Four finals to go before winter break!
One month until my 22nd birthday!
I’m going to be so old.
Thesis proposal = done.
I think it went ok. I failed to make eye contact though,and I definitely talked way too fast. That’s ok though, because it’s OVER! It’s such a relief. Now, I can officially start writing my paper. Scary, but exciting at the same time.
Wearing my Batman socks for courage today because I have my thesis proposal presentation at 2 p.m. I have all of this nervous energy. I really hope I don’t make a fool of myself like I usually do at presentations. Public speaking is not a strong point of mine.
No lies, just love.
The felt tip of the pen feels good as it glides along a simple piece of paper. Words appearing magically. It is an open invitation. A love letter. My heart aches for you, and I long for your gentle touch. Do you realize that I’m searching for you? Why this endless game of hide and seek? I’m ready to be found, so count to ten already. I’m turning blue from holding my breath. Come out from the safe...
Tonight is definitely a hot cocoa night with extra marshmallows.
Thesis Statement...I think.
Thesis Statement: A Feminist Critique of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
The female characters in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest are written as monsters, machines, or whores. They read as negative characters. Most of the females depicted in the novel strip men of their individuality, forcing them to submit to conformity and their rules. In fact, Nurse Ratched and the mother figures have...
I met a lost cat today, his name was Ruby. I found that out when the owner finally came to take him home (yes, he was a boy and his name was Ruby). He was the sweetest thing in the world, and I instantly fell in love. I walked out of my dorm and he was just sitting on the stoop, meowing. I figured he would just run away as soon as I walked out, like most cats do, but instead he rolled over as...
wedded bliss.
I just learned that someone I knew in high school has recently become engaged. I was rather close to this person, but we drifted apart once college arrived. It was for the best, I realize, as the friendship was starting to become a little strained, almost forced. It’s just really weird because we would always talk about our future weddings during gym class, and now her wedding is almost upon...
My body may be here, but my mind is already on winter break.
60 degrees on the 1st of December in New England? Mother Nature should not tease me like this.
