I failed in 2008 to read 50 books and watch 100 new movies, so I'm setting lower expectations. YAY ME.

( 30 books in 2008 )

( 75 movies in 2008 )

Because I never ever keep track of things like this. And I think it'll be fun. Atleast for me.

THREE PASSING GRADES AWAY FROM GRADUATING.

Took jazz final today, hand in modernism final Friday. ALMOST DONE.

I'm glad both Nathan and Tania will be at my graduation. And my parents. Because I know it being a Monday makes it difficult with work and all, and my dad actually had to postpone a trip for work. But he's my dad so he's expected to do that. But Tania actually took the whole day off for me. And Nathan is missing out on going to his parent's friend's lake house for the weekend because of me. TOTAL BFF RIGHT THERE. (Side note: It's actually a lot more fun being his BFF and not actually together together. I can't explain it.)

I'm just excited for it to all be over.

( Something I am, and will forever be upset about.. )

I lied. I'm here. Whatever.

A song everyone should listen to: Time Bomb by The Format
Why? Because it's a fun song, dammit. And I don't know how much I like much of their other stuff, but I just really love listening to this song.

A movie everyone should see: Little Miss Sunshine
Why? JUST DO IT. I guarantee you would like it. Maybe even love it, like I do. It's just one of those movies where you feel like you could watch it over and over because it's so great. And the last 5 minutes are worth the entire movie. And I guarantee you would laugh. A lot. It's just great. And I think I almost have my mom convinced to go see it with me on Sunday. Maybe, just maybe.

I'm happy that I found this website where I could download this first listen thing of John Mayer's new album. Because the clear channel site that is streaming the CD obviously hates macs, so I was getting mad. But now I have the songs in mp3 format so I can just listen through iTunes. How exciting. I can't wait for the album to be out, though. It's been too long, Mayer. Although, the live JM trio CD was nice, I'll give him that. But new album.. woo? Yeah.

Things I need to buy with my newly deposited buttload of money:
- Textbooks. Except, not as many as I thought. Cause I'm cheap and found about 9 books I'll need at the library and checked them all out. Haha. I am cheap, it's awesome.
- ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT SEASON 3 DVDS on August 29th! It's about time. I think I've watched every episode from seasons 1 & 2 about 34324 times. I just love that show. And hate that I wasn't watching it all along, and even hesitated when Nathan first talked about watching his sister's DVDs. I'm stupid. But that show.. I wish it wasn't cancelled.

This entry is all over the place. You like it.

I think I officially hate the summertime. Or the heat. It ruins everything. Thanks, nature.

I watched too much of I love the 80's 3D today. That's all.

This should probably end here.

+++ My sister bought me a scratch off lottery ticket this morning and I won $10. Woot? I was excited.

--- I had to work all day in the basement and it was awful. There's only this one little fan, and it just doesn't help at all. I almost died. Okay, maybe not that close to death, but I still felt miserable all day.

--- I accidentally bought a DIET Mountain Dew with my lunch, and I was depressed. Only because we only have a coke vending machine in the office, and I didn't feel like going back down to Giant to get the right soda. Seriously, why were diet sodas even made? They taste so awful, and I can't think of one diet soda that tastes any good.

+++ Listening to Imogen Heap on the metro made me happy, and I don't even know why. I just liked it a whole lot this morning.

+++++++ I don't have to work tomorrow, and I can sleep in and.. I'm estatic.

--- Although, I do have a paper to write that's due Friday, but it's the last one, and so I don't really care, so ehh. I doubt I'll do five pages just because I don't care. And I'm sure I'll get a B or C in the class, so that's cool. I just haven't been trying. I just want the credit. I've given up on a decent GPA. Just as long as I keep it to where I can still graduate. Which I believe is a 2.0, and I'm not really near that, so I'm good.

+++ I got the third disc of Huff from Netflix today, and I can't decide if I should watch the episodes tonight or tomorrow. Hmmmmmm.

++++++++ My boyfriend is amazing. And I love him so much. And he's awesome because he picks me up everyday after work, and we get to be grungy from work together and take showers and eat dinner and watch D2. And I know lately I've been feeling ehhh-ish about a lot of things, but I know that everything is going to be okay, and I can't even begin to imagine what my life would be without him. And I'm excited for this weekend. Then Chincoteague in like 2 or 3 weeks. I'm just... I just love him.

+++ I'm re-reading Summer Sisters by Judy Blume.. and it reminds me (yet again) of the beach with my Stephanie, and it makes me happy. And I really want to go on a vacation with Steph again to the Outer Banks, just like the old times. And I don't care if it's just me and her, or if there's other people. I just want me and her to be there. And do everything we used to do. Now, she just needs to come back from field camp so we can hang out again.

Okay, so this is really long. Is it? Oh well.

PS. snapplemodel - I haven't forgotten about you, or sending you the book. I just keep forgetting to send it. One of these days I'll get my shit together and the book will be on its way. Promise. :)

( So I never really do this.. )

OH, HOW I LOVE THE INTERNET. And what you can find these days.
come on and zoom!
Come on, does anyone remember this show?

Seriously, Steph and I used to watch that show everyday when we were in the NINTH GRADE. Only because we were awesome. And in love with that Jared kid (second from the right). And I remember always feeling weird because I thought I was liking someone a lot younger than I was, but I just saw that he's actually OLDER than me. Hahaha. But yeah, he's way ugly now. Younger shot of him. Oh, the good ole days. And that Zoe girl with her big boobs still annoys me. We never liked her much. Haaaaaa. I wish this show was still on. With these people. I'd so watch it.

That's all.

It seems like every school has started up except UMD. Why is that? Not that I'm in any hurry to get back to school, I just don't get it.

Yesterday I found this really cute corduroy messenger bag on ebay, and I was the top bidder with like 30 mins left on it. But then my mom came in my room and started talking and it disctracted me, and by the time I remembered, the auction had ended like two minutes before and someone outbid me by like 50 cents. It was annoying. I really wanted that bad. It was cute. And at a good price. And yeah. I'm sad. Why I want a messenger bag so badly, I don't know. Something different, I suppose. And it was really, really cute too. Hahaha. Oh well, maybe I'll find another one.

I'm done for now.

In the past week (or so), I have seen: Match Point, Memoirs of a Geisha, and The Producers. Nathan and I are such movie whores. But anyways, Match Point was the only one I didn't really like. I don't know, the acting wasn't all that great, and the plot was.. stupid? Yeah. But I thought Memoirs was good, even though Nathan said he hated it. The book is so much better, but still, I enjoyed it. And then The Producers is just funny. A little long, but still good. I think I liked this version better than the original. Plus, Matthew Broderick is so cute, I could just eat him up.

I'm such a bad movie reviewer, I should stop.

School starts in a week. I'm leaving. I don't want to deal with it all. Boring classes, uncomfortable seats, annoying twats aka everyone there, walking in the cold, having to be there until FIVE O'CLOCK on Mondays and Wednesdays because Nathan sucks ass, writing papers, studying, getting up early every morning, and the list goes on. Being this negative even before classes have started is probably not a good thing.

We lost power this morning, and I was scared I would have to sit home all day with no power. I almost cried. But then I fell back asleep and when I woke up again all was well in the land. Good for me. I mean, the thought of not wasting my time watching Dawson's Creek all day frightened me. Ha. I... am so lame. But I do love that show. I'm halfway through season 3, but that's not much because I skipped season 2 because I hate Dawson, and nothing of interest to me happens in that season, so who cares. Oh, that show.

I need a life.
