Deep Thoughts

I've been thinking really cathartic things lately, and writing a lot of different things, but none of it is really what I want to write.  I used to write a lot of poetry, and I was really proud of it.  Going back through it, not only am I annoyed that I can't think of anything good to write, I'm finding that a lot of the stuff that I thought was good is prettymuch utter crap...

I don't know if any of you ever watched the Ernest movies with Jim Varney, but when I was a kid, Ernest Goes to Camp used to be one of my favorite movies.  In the song, Jim Varney sings this song, called "Gee, I'm Glad it's Rainin'," and I remember, that even as a kid, the song made me feel different.  I listened to the song again this week on youtube, and it's got me down that wistful, longing-for-childhood-and-simpler-times kind of feeling... 

So even with all these feelings, I can't come up with anything decent to write... So I decided to write about how annoyed I was that I couldn't write anything...

In case you wondered, this is the youtube video link... You should watch it!  I think everyone has felt that way at some point...

Quick Thoughts

I'm about to take a shower and go for a walk
But first I decided to jot down a few thoughts...

I am not ready for the weekend to be over.
In fact, I'm hoping for something miraculous
That will cancel classes for a few days
So I can just leisurely enjoy the weather...

Hey, I can dream, can't I?

Feeling Awkward Tonight

Dear Diary,

Tonight I decided I want to be pretty.  I also realized that I really do have the coordination of a moose at times... One day, I will change this.

A Lovely Weekend

It would take forever to explain this weekend, and I don't have forever... 
It's already 2:30 in the morning, and I have a lot of homework left to do before bed... 
Suffice it to say, Little Sibs weekend was lovely.  
I had a great time with Felicia, and we did a whole bunch of stuff; 
Went to the planetarium, shopping, out for lunches and dinners, watched movies... 
It was a blast.  Besides that, it was just a delightfully low-key, fabulous weekend.  
And tonight I made flyers for Pie Your RA night, posted them up
And then I managed to put up the center board... hopefully it stays up
Which gave me some time to have a chit chat with Tom, my floor partner.

The RA transfer draft is tomorrow, and I'm anxious to see if he's coming with me.
I want to know who my new staff in Wright is.
Because I'm having a dreadfully difficult time with leaving my staff...
There are a few people in particular it's going to be very hard to say goodbye to...

Regardless, I had a lovely, wonderful weekend
Even though I'm going to be awake most of tonight...
I hope yours was as good as mine.

Little Sibs and Swing Dancing

So, today is a wonderful and a half day...
My boss had an interview, and was DETERMINED
Not to let anyone see him in a suit...
So much that he lied about the time
So we wouldn't see him in the morning...

So Andrew (one of the other RAs) and I
Lurked around Korb, where his interview was...
He was walking out of the conference room, 
With us literally, right behind him... 

He hadn't seen us, and proceeded to brag about how,
"I avoided Andrew Carr and Amanda Borgio this morning"
Yes, he honestly mentioned us BY NAME...
All the while, we're trying not to crack up...
He turns around, and BAM! Footage rarer than the Loch Ness monster...
We have Dan in a suit... 

Also today, I got to be the demonstrator for a move in Swing class...
Because Michael and I were apparently AWESOME at it...
And it always makes me feel good when I get to demonstrate
Like I'm really good at it or something...
Anyway, then, this evening, I had ballroom
And we had guests... After we learned the Mambo with them,

We got to show them all Swing dancing...
And it just so happens, there is one other boy from my swing class 
In the ballroom class... So we danced together
Yes, maybe we showed off a little...
Or a lot... :-)  Either way, it felt really... amazing
Because for once, I was the best at something...

Tomorrow, I'm going to pick up Felicia
And she is coming up for Little Sibs weekend!
I'm super excited about it, and I can't wait!
For now, I've got to go clean, otherwise
Felicia will think I'm a total slob... 
To steal a line from Edward R. Murrow,
"Goodnight, and good luck."

A Good Dream for Once

Finally, a good dream at last!  
I'm so tired of having the scary ones... 
Of course, though, I don't remember the good ones
Not everything about them, at least.
But I do remember the part that made me smile...

It was about a boy that I have a terrible crush on...
And in the dream, I remember he talked quietly
And his eyes lit up, because he was smiling with his whole face
Which doesn't always do... and I love it when he does

Anyway, in the dream, besides the softness 
And the gentleness and calm, I remember he kissed me.
It wasn't a big sloppy makeout kiss or anything either...
Just a little, sweet, tender kiss...

I was really happy to finally have a good dream...
Alas, back to reality...

My Weekend

This weekend was T.J.'s first birthday party
So I spent pretty much the whole weekend
At Celia's house, helping out in any way I could.
I'm not feeling well, so I'm just going to highlight...

Celia and I took T.J. to go get the balloons...
25 helium filled ballons in one Malibu is CRAZY
I honestly thought that we might crash...

The party went really well... about thirty people
And the cake looked spectacular... It was Elmo.
Everyone had a good time and there was lots to do.

Sunday, I went to see Adventureland with Jess
And we had a nice time at the movies.
And I got to punch him twice for Jesus fishes.

Then, when I got home, I went with Britt and Aud
And we watched Wrestlemania in the Rathskellar
Which is the pizza place in the basement of the Student Center.

Tonight was my staff meeting, and now I'm sitting here
Writing this quick update, so I can go read articles
And then get ready for bed and class tomorrow!
