I must remember...

I must remember...
Turkey on Thanksgiving,
Pudding on Christmas,
Eggs on Easter,
Chicken on Sunday,
Fish on Friday,
Leftovers, Monday.
But ah, me- I'm such a dunce.
I went and ate them all at once.


I really don't care what age I am- I'm never to old to enjoy the works of Mr. Silverstein- even though his picture still freaks me out a bit. I'm sure I wasn't the only kid to be freaked out by his picture on the back of The Giving Tree. But moving on...

I have finally decided to get my ipod fixed- well after the warranty has expired, of course. Goodbye $71. It will be worth it, though- to be able to walk around campus and listen to my playlists. I stayed up until 2AM last night making playlists. I wish I could get paid a lot of money to select songs for the moving pictures. Don't quite know how to fall into that career, though...

Next semester will be full of new beginnings and I for one and pretty excited. That's all I really have to say on the matter for now, though.

My personality tends to lean toward the addictive but at the moment that's not such a bad thing. The rec has practically become my second home. I really do hate when people label 'working out' as a hobby or interest but to be quite honest, for me, it falls into both categoriesright now. It may even be one of my favorite things. Ok- it IS one of my favorite things. 30lbs down and still counting. It's a great feeling for a control freak, like myself. :)

I miss Elizabeth.

Dan Aykroyd is attractive... 1970's SNL Elwood Blues Aykroyd.

Right now I really like the song "Us" by Regina Spektor.

I'm goin' places this summer... I dunno where... but I'm goin'.

It's almost Christmas!

I wish the weather permitted denim and corduroy.

I really hate that sometimes you just can't explain yourself- for whatever the reason. Either you aren't brave enough or the moment just doesn't seem to present itself. When it seems that a situation arises that makes you look bad the only thing you want to do is explain so that the other parties involved don't have reason to compromise their opinion of you. But even so- there are worse things in life and I'm ok with being left up to scrutiny.

The semester is over and done with for me as of Tuesday Dec. 11, 2007. I'm really looking forward to the break but at the same time I wish that I could skip it. Namely, because of my workout schedule. I'm up to two-a-days now! And my collarbone is becoming visible. I didn't even know I had one of those things for I have never actually been able to see it.

The winter time always reminds my of music and recipes. I always start listening to a lot of Queen around the holidays. It reminds me of the Christmas a few years ago when my parents gave me some Queen CD's and I spent part of Christmas day learning all the words to Killer Queen and Bicycle Race. I also start listening to a lot of old Eisley (especially the winter song) and Radiohead's first album, Pablo Honey. I think that is my favorite Radiohead album. 1) Because I just plain love it and 2)when they made this record it was before they had time to buy into some of their hype- you know, before they became the quintessential go-to cool college kid fave band... etc etc. Well... yeah, something like that. I've been getting all of my recipes together and I can't wait to take over the kitchen at my house. Plus I'm looking into some lovely little craft and recipe ideas in my Amy Sedaris hospitality book, God love her. Lots of yummy holiday food stuffs are waiting to be prepared by yours truly. Joy!

Looking forward to pajama pants, blankets, gal pals, family, baked goods, good books, good movies, Jasmine, my room, my bed, and sleep.
