As it nears closer to break..

I am not inclined to work.
It's so bloody nice outside. Like, you don't even know how warm 36 feels right now. So nothing much to report for fun weekendish news, except we stayed in, watched the Oscars (<33333 HUGGHHH), and helped my friend Chris move from Towers to T3, where he is now their new RA. But since yesterday was so nice me and Mara went down to the Commons about 4ish and shopped around, and I decided to get my hair cut. It was like THE shadyist place in the world. First of all, it was down stairs.. and the handle to get down their was really rusty and awkward. It had those old fashioned red chairs that were definitely in Sweeney Todd. It was a little shifty but I reallllyyy wanted a haircut. Turns out the guys there are really nice. I still like the other place better, but that was closed. :/
Here's the new hair:



So after that crazy ordeal, me and Mara went in House of Shalimar and I got a new necklace and bought a present for Christina (today is her b-day!) and then we went to Brotcel, this foreign coffee place and I had a Chocolate Latte and I bought this amazing bread that I'm currently feasting on.

4 things. And a lizard.

As I sit here kinda bored, listening to the soundtrack of Doctor Who, I realize that I should probably be reading the last 40 or so pages of this amazingly boring book named The American, but I really do not want to. And it's Friday. Instead, I am writing here and simultaneously talking to people on AIM. So the weekend was nice, my friend Christina's boyfriend Matt and her friend Bree came to visit and we played games, went downtown (I got a sper cute bag, which has become my gym bag), and partayyedd over the weekend (we had a dance party in Rowland). It was SO FUN. I really liked Bree, she seems really cool and I hope she goes here.
Now, things I have been noticing:
1. It's fucking February 13th, where did the time go...
2. I feel a little left out sometimes.. idk why.
3. I'm a little bitchier now. Like we pretty much ditched this guy Kevin that was kinda part of our "group" and I don't feel one iota of guilt about it. He's really awkward and just kinda sits there at the dinner table with a blank expression on his face and doesn't really say anything.. Soo yah.
4. I miss having a boyfriend. I'm in desperate needs for a snog and a cuddle. Any takers ;)?
5. I made my friend Tori into a Whovian. And now in turn she's got me semi-addicted to Buffy. Shit who am I kidding. I am an addict. I love Angel and Spike like no one's business.
6. I am also hopelessly addicted to two websites. Ninjavideo and Neave. I could not live without them.
7. I'm kinda liking this guy in my building. I'm way too shy to talk to him. And I don't wanna be a stalker and hang around waiting for opportunities to talking to him *fail* But yesterday, we talked for awhile during a party for our building. Progress? Maybe.
8. The suck up in my English class may or may not be purposely staring at me and talking to me before and after class. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Looking forward to the weekend, I had 3 projects due all during the week and it took up a lot of time I needed to study for my test today for my Stars class. It's ok though because I feel I did pretty dang good on it. So I think tonight Amelia, Mara, and I are going to see Twilight (to make fun of it and possibly get torched by Robert Patterson lovers) and then come back and play some games or just hang out. But Saturday will be super fun coz all we're gonna do is eat candy and Warm Delights and watch chick flicks. It's gonna rooooooccccckkk.

Dear Blog, I'm sorry I've been neglecting you. Won't happen again. Love, Me.

As I sit here in my dorm listening to a strange combination of new music I bought from iTunes, I realized that my blog was lacking in attention. 

There's been some other revelations as of late here:

1. I am officially 19. I don't really feel older, but I guess I am.. or something. I also feel very loved because my facebook is currently filled with people writing on my wall "Happy Birthday!!" and such like. 

2. I looked at my previous entry and faintly remembered that I was formally going to write more on it, but totally forget now what I was going to write in the first place. So it was probably something along the lines of "We got a lot of snow, I love my Ithaca friends, and I'm sleepy and will go to bed now"

3. I really like exercising now. I do it almost every day, but Mondays and Thursdays are especially fun because a few of us usually go kickboxing and it's pretty intense but it always makes you feel really good after. I also found four further things:

1. I needed a sports bra. I got two at Target for 8 dollars. Horray for deals!

2. I lost weight, and can now fit successfully into a size 4

3. I'm a lot more energetic/ feel better all around.

4. Also found some really cool songs thanks to the mix in kickboxing that the leader plays. My favourite is "Soccer Practice" by Gay Pimp. Funny song.

4. I like my classes, for the most part (the work part is not so fun). Mon/ Wed/ Fri I have American Literature, Stars, Galaxies, and the Universe, and Media Literacy. On Tues/ Thurs I have Global Studies and Aging Studies. American Lit has a really cool teacher, but there's also this guy Edgar in my class who thinks he knows everything but he's waayyy off. Like for instance, we're reading Huck Finn, right? And everyone knows that the whole book is basically making fun of Southern hospitality, and the "King" and "Duke" are con men. But poor Edgar, he thinks the "King" and "Duke" are good people, and will wind up heros. He's in for a big surprise. But moving on, I love my Stars class because it's really chill, and the teacher is awesome but sometimes the big class size is not so helpful. Media Literacy has the same teacher as I had last semester in my Psych class. She's awesome. In Global Studies, we're reading A Thousand Splendid Suns, and it's a super amazing book that you all need to read. Awesome class. Aging class is cool too, the teacher is very bubbily and cute, and she gets everyone into it. 

5. (Which I should have mentioned before but didn't) I totally forgot to write anything about my winter break. So instead of writing more of a novel then I intend to, I'm just gonna sum it up: Worked at Regal again, lots of fun times and boring ones too, the not so cool part of it was getting my car side-swiped while I was in work. Granted, it was foggy and you couldn't see but really, the person could have left a note. Oh well. Hung out with K-bo the most, of course. Also saw Amke, Kim (well her I work with, so that was fun), Becky, Catherine, Jaime, and visited HHS and hugged all my Guildians and talked to my fav teachers (Jones and Weiss, mostly). Saw Benjamin Button, Milk, Nothing But the Holidays, and Seven Pounds. 

6. My birthday weekend was lots of fun. On Friday, we went downtown to Lost Dog (our favourite restaurant) and had some really good food. I had something called a Vooda-Ahi Burger but instead of meat, I had tofu. It was spicy and glorious and the mac and cheese on the side just made it all the much better. We ordered dessert and I had my favourite- The Geshia, it's cheesecake slices in a toasted crust with raspberry over it. SOO GOODDD. After we went back to our rooms and changed into dancing clothes and then Mara and Christina called and said they had to make us look all pretty. So Amelia, Hinzy, and I went over to Towers and Mara styled my hair and Hinzy did my makeup. We met the boys and went to the gay club, Oasis. It was a little dull at first coz there wasn't a lot of people there but it got a lot busier and was much better. We all danced our little hearts out. Good times. On Saturday, we hung in Chris' room and watched Zoolander, played Apples to Apples and a few other games, and hung out. On Sunday, we watched the Super Bowl in Emerson (really big room with TVs). Until we got a little bored and it became much more crowded, then we went back to do homework and after that, Amelia and I ran to East Tower to catch the rest of the game with Mara, Christina, and Chris and watch the hour-long Office after it. It was a pretty epic ending, with the really long field goal. But The Office, that was one of THE funniest episodes ever we all laughed so hard, and sighed at Jim's proclamation of love and then went home. On Monday (my actual birthday) me and Chris went kickboxing and then we went to late night at Towers. I was happy to learn that this also meant that breakfast foods were being served. SCOORREE. I also brought the cake Mom sent via a birthday box (Harry and David) and after we ate and talked a little, we feasted on the cake. It was reaaallllyyy good. Just the thing to kick my chocolate craving for the day, and it had gotten a little warm because the plates were warm. With milk and my friends, it was a good day. After dinner and cake, we went to Chris and Geoff's room and Chris had a present for me- my own "song"! Well, he used Britney Spears' song "Gimme More" and put things about me into it. It was really funny and sweet. All the good ones have to be gay... 

7. I have the coolest friends ever. Mara made me a card with The Doctor and me on it, it's so cool. Christina and Hinzy each made me a card too- Christina's was a simple little yellow card but a nice little message on the inside, Hinzy used her knowledge of Japanese and awesome personality to make me a super-cool card. And I got one from my roomie, Amelia too, it's a really cool Beatles card (we both love them) and she also got me Truffle candy at Target. Dangerous Amelia, dangerous. Geoff also made me one where he attempted to draw a character from Doctor Who. And you heard about Chris'. :) 

8. I am sleepy and should do work for tomorrow. I will leave you with some pretty pictures from the weekend :) Actually, I'll do it on another post..
