I think I'm just about ready for break to be over. I'll curse the day I said that, because I know that I'm going to be really nervous about this whole DEN job once I get in the driver's seat. But honestly, I'm going stir crazy just sitting around the house. This always happens to me around the holidays, and during the summer. I go frickin' insane ( Read more... )

I'm supposed to be doing homework, but I really don't have the will to. Break has been rather uneventful. Life has been pretty depressing today ( Read more... )

You know what I hate? That commercial for Yoplait Yogurt, where you've got the two women sitting on lawn chairs, and they're eating chocolate yogurt, and saying stuff like ( Read more... )

Realistically, this blog should probably be about something else. I've got a lot of other stuff that I should be blogging about. But I just wrote this essay for Non Fiction class, and I thought it was post-worthy. Plus, I've got a flu bug that's been going around, and I'm not sure if I have the strength right now ( Read more... )

Today I discovered I have a men in black capes complex. Or I guess just black capes. Men in black capes sounds kind of....well....you know. But yeah, Batman and Darth Vader are my heroes.

Can you deal with that?
