villains.

I just thought this would be an interesting thing to post.click here for the top 25 villains.

Newness.

New template for the page. I like it very much, I'm pretty partial to warm colors. Although I've never been to London, it's one of the first places I want to visit as soon as I get the means to travel. It's the only place I would even halfway consider living outside of the US. But I'm an American girl, I know where home is.

On another note, I'm up to my elbows in books. That's not a bad thing, but I believe my friend Becca is planning my demise, because she has been waiting for 2 books I'm reading for a while. I keep getting sidetracked with others.

The books in my pile (haha):

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind
The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory
The Night of the Wolf by Alice Borchardt
The Wolf King (these are the 2 Becca needs) by Alice Borchardt
Picture Perfect by Jodi Picoult
The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber

as a little side note, Alice Borchardt is Anne Rice's sister, if you didn't know.

200 Years Young

My town is turning 200. In technical terms it's our bicentennial. It's a pretty big deal here and everyone seems to be in the spirit of things. People are even walking around town in "period" dress. If someone that doesn't know whats going on came through town right now they would think we were all crazy, or like the people in M. Night Shymalan's The Village. I live fairly close to main street so I can hear all the festivities from my bedroom. I'm pretty glad I got to see this because I highly doubt I'll be around for the tricentennial. Then again, who knows with the way science is these days.

Sorry.

For the lack of posts. I've been busy with assorted things. Hopefully I have new material to write about soon. haha.

Mercy

Home

I'm home for the summer so there should be more posts than usual coming soon, at least I hope.

Thoughts at 2 AM

So finals are over, and I survived, but just barely. So far I have 2 A's and 1 B. We'll have to wait and see what happens with the remaining 2. I'm sitting here in my gutted dorm room extremely tired and not looking forward to packing all of this stuff in the truck tomorrow and then having to unpack it when I get home. Blah, blah, sorry for all the complaining, I'm just tired and it seems like this week will never end. I'm going to miss be here at school, as much as I'm going to enjoy no homework or early morning classes, I'm still sad I'm going to be gone for 3 months. Those 3 months feel like they last forever. But I'm going to be happy to spend time with my family, even though I go home often, we don't spend much time together because everyone is so busy all the time. We're going to make up for lost time I guess. I'm really looking forward to next semester, I'm friends with all my roommates and my schedule is set up to where I don't have classes on Fridays. Go me.

On a different note, I watched the movie Wristcutters in intervals whilst cleaning today, and I really enjoyed it, the film is unique and is definitley worth watching, so there's the recommendation for the week I guess. Haha.

I'm Pretty Sure I'm In Hell

So it's finals week and I'm only one final in and I want to crawl in a hole and never see sunlight again. I'm worried, just really, really worried. I usually am, and I usually have no reason to be but that doesn't stop me from doing it. I'm studying and praying at the same time like I always do. I need to calm down but I can't. I do this every year and I've yet to learn that it doesn't help. I just wish that finals week was over, that I got all good grades and that I was sitting at home doing nothing, because that's all there is left to do. Instead, I'm sitting here in my dorm room up to my eyeballs in Abnormal Psych thinking about my biology final on Wednesday and worrying about my math final I took at 1 today. Like the title suggests, I'm pretty sure I'm in hell.

Side Effects

I had to delete some of my postings to make this new (very amazing) template work. I am currently in the process of figuring out how to repost them so they should be back soon.

My John McCain post was one that had to be deleted so here's a link to his website. Join the campaign and help make history. I am.

So Very Tired

As the title of this post would suggest, I'm tired. It's nearing the end of the semester and the end of my sophomore year here in college, finals are looming, and my stress level is through the roof, but what else is new? I'm always terrified that what I'm doing is never good enough, and I don't know why I put this kind of pressure on myself. I have a really good GPA, I work hard, but there's always that fear in the back of my mind that something can and will go wrong.

On top of that I have a laundry list of things I want to do in the next year or so, and it seems like every time I try to do anything worth while, or anything that would warrant a change, it all falls apart. Like I've said before, I hope I'm due for something good to happen. I just want to study abroad, I don't think that's too much to ask. I tried to transfer colleges but, well, that was a catastrophe that obviously resulted in nothing that I wanted. I need to branch out, it feels like fate hates me. People keep telling me that if it were meant to happen it would, but that doesn't make me feel any better, because I want it to happen more than anything. One of my biggest fears is being stuck in the same place my entire life. I do not want that to happen, there's too much, to much to learn, see, and do, to be stationary.
