Some New Stuff I've Found...

...while I was rebelling against blogging.

This made me laugh.
This kind of grossed me out, but then I kind of dug it. The 'living on in others sketchbooks kind of got me.
This made me gain back a little of the faith I'd lost for humanity.
This just staight up made me smile.

Hope it does simliar things for you.

Today I Learned...

• It's good to be back :)
• People talking in the stairwell to their iPods most likely have iPhones...
• Kate Nash is perfect music for my weird moods.
• You can never trust Peas-n-Carrots when it comes to school store hours.
• The cleaning ladies are deffinatly married. Confirmed by one saying "My wife and I..."
• You can learn a lot about how people see you by what they propse you make a speech on. Apperently I'm a Harry Potter, Gaga-aholic with love for the quest and who inspires thoughts of goats and lumpis? Well, the first half is pretty spot on...
• I miss my family.
• That my roomates are really awesome, and I don't know what I'd do without them.
• Cleaning ladies spend the time they don't spend cleaning our bathrooms plotting how to most inconvience everyone in the building.
• That really, the same rules for children also apply to awkward, older male models: only speak when spoken to, don't stare. put that thing away!
• I've managed to train the whole hallway plus the roomies bf to save their caps!!
• That the only time I have good throwing aim is when I really shouldn't...sorry Annie <3
• That I am a pathetic idiot. Well, I knew this, but I remind myself frequently.
• There are still some good and chivilrous men out there, sometimes all the assholes out there make me forget the good guys exist.
• That 'doppleganger' is actually not a very common term.
• That the author of 'Willy the Wizard' actually has the gall to try and sue JK. Ahhhh-hells-nah.
• Chacha and I are back on speaking terms!
• That the Ray-J's replacement (hereby known as GI Joe) is actually a pretty nice guy. He actually struck up a conversation with me today.
• Sometimes you feel things you never thought you'd feel. And it's refreshing.
• That the HC printers only work when you don't need them to. When you do, they fight you teeth and nail.
• Sometimes talking to people makes you feel good because if you're having a problem you realise you're not the only one. But sometimes it makes you feel small and stupid and completely trite, like you don't have a single original bone in your body.
• Bangs are a very tempremental hairstyle.
• The adverage hourly salary of a nude model is $25-$30 per hour. Which boils down to about $300/week for two studio classes that meet twice a week, for those of you who are intereseted :)
•  My poor little iPod mini has once again reached its max capacity...looks like another song clear-out is coming soon.
• Sometimes even though you check twice and step extremely carefully on what you're sure is not black ice....it is.
• People have a tendency to find random animals/dinosaurs in my sculptures.
• I'm stupid. Did I already mention that? Maybe I did, but it's how I keep my ego in check.

Things

With Krysti, not Demitri Martin, unfortunatly. Here are somethings that I dislike.

1. When you get angry at someone because they haven't responded to your text, but then you realise you never actually sent the text.
2. When the aformentioned text gets saved as a draft because, honestly, who uses drafts?
3. When you pick up a bottle (usually of iced tea) and it's unconfortable sticky. Ewww.
4. When plans you're super excited for fall through.
5. When you really want something to happen and you have a really realistic dream where it happens (and in my case I actually remember said dream) and you wake up and are super excited, but it never actually happened.
6. When you go and try to be a sanitary person and wash your hands and are in a rush and fail to realise the clump of hair/toothpaste/soap/food shit that is all over the sink in time.
7. When Lady Gaga is not on the radio.
8. When you're snuggled up with people in the most comfortable arrangement on the face of the earth and someone has to move and you know that even if they're not even near you it will never be the same. UGH.
9. When you realise how much your little brother misses you, even though he'll never actually say so.
10. When you have a list of a million movies you want to see but when you get to Blockbuster you can't remember any of them.
11. When Blockbuster doesn't have the one you can remember.
12. When you have to wake up, and your feet hurt but you have a bunk bed so you have to step on the stupid rungs so you don't die.
13. When the GPS falls off the winshield and you can't reach it while driving.
14. When you go to a store and really want/need something they used to have and they don't have it.
15. When you go to a store with money and you can never find anything but when you go with no money you find a million things.

Things I Like About Snow

Seeing as I am currently enveloped in two feet of the stuff with the expectation of eight more inches on Tuesday, I decided to dedicate a post to everyone's favorite white and fluffy weather phenomenon.

Things I Like About Snow:

1. I like how if you go out early enough in the snowstorm no one else has been there and you have no idea where the paths are and you get to blaze your own. And the people walking after you will be like 'hey! the footprints are here, this is probably the right way to go' even if it isn't. And it's kind of a power-trip.
2. I like throwing snowballs. And the occational ice-ball. Because, face it, there's no better way to release pent-up agression towards someone and pass it off as a jovial wintertime tradition.
3. I like falling on ice. Hey! I wasn't using my tailbone anyway groundskeepers, so there's no need to salt the paths...it's like my own personal ice rink everytime I leave my dorm! Awesome!
4. I like that snow masks everything. The dirtiest, ugliest place in the world would look beautiful blanketed in snow. It's like cover-up for the earth. 
5. I like getting my money's worth out of my rainboots.
6. I like hot chocolate from Gordy's. And I like the feeling of supiriority and sophistcation that comes with holding a little coffee cup with the little coffee collar on it.
7. I like turning the heater on and then climbing into bed with it still on and forgetting how hot it gets and then waking up covered in sweat because the room is eighty five degrees.
8. I like eating snowflakes.
9. I like seeing people express themselves in snow-art. Whether it be giant igloos (pictures to come) or snowangels, or snowmen, it's always unexpected and makes me happy.
10. I like having my jeans be soaked and my thighs get windburn from inside my jeans. Nothing makes you feel quite so alive as a few raw limbs.
11. I like that the campus dosen't get deserted.
12. I like that I get an excuse to wear the million scarves that I have hanging on Ashely and I's bedpost.
13. I like that when I'm cold and come in I get to turn on the heater and then the room smells plesently like burnt dust for an hour or so while the room warms up.
14. I like the way that everything is always bright when there's snow on the ground.
15. I like that only the friendly people brave the cold, ergo, if you are out in the snow, you are probably friendly.
16. I like that campus has its own version of the Naked Cowboy. Except he just wears shorts, a tshirt, and a cowboy hat when it snows. And exhibits the same degree of Southern charm.
17. I like riding on the bus while the underqualified (and usually grouchy) busdriver tries to get us to the mall, or tries not to pick us up from the Goodwill plaza.
18. I like that people still sit on benches and leave their butt-marks. It makes me laugh.
19. I like singing Christmas carols even though its not Christmas but because they're about snow and it's snowing.
20. I like using snow to wash my hands because last-minute I need to splatterpaint and art project and need to get my phone out of my pocket because someone has to let me in the back door when I'm done but my hands are covered in paint.
21. I like that it could hypothetically get me out of class :)

A Brief Hiatus

That's what I've decided to call those empty weeks since semester started and this blog sort of died. It makes me sound productive and sophisticated, like I was recovering from a particularly nasty sprained thumb or searching for inspiration in the alleyways of Bangledesh. When, truth be told, I've just been a combination of lazy and busy. So, to keep you all in the loop, here are some new things that have happened since we last talked.

• My hair has decreased by approx. 2 inches in lenth and I have gotten bangs (I refuse to confess how much of an influence my new Lady Gaga razor glasses had over my choice).
• I made myself some awesome Lady Gaga razor glasses, as featured in the video for 'Bad Romance.' The most admirable use of Honors College ink I could ever imagine.
• I now have one pint less of blood (O+) and one more useless tshirt.
• The aformentioned tshirt has already been ruined with paint.
• I have one contraband dining tray stashed somewhere in my room. Shhhh!
• I now get to sleep in until at least noon 5 of the 7 days of the week.
• I still hate laundry.
• I'm working on conquering my fear of eyes.
• I'm planning a wedding (for a project fellas, don't worry...)
• I am now a Project Runway fan (why didn't I find this sooner!)
• My days of two third floor studio classes have gotten infinatly better due to the discovery that there is an elevator in the art building.
• I've listened to 'Party in the USA' and "Bad Romance'  more times that I care to admit.
• I've made more of an effort to learn the dances to the songs above than I care to think about....
• I am helping to plan a prom (Dream. Come. True.)
• I have come to appreciate now more than ever the importance of a good pair of rainboots.
• The quad has gone 'eco' with the introduction of a Brita filter and some reusable water bottles.
• I have almost a full box of plastic bottle caps stashed under my bed which I'm collecting for extra credit in my psych class.
• I now have an art locker

So, that's my life recently, in a nutshell. Sorry if I disappointed my three or so loyal readers by not posting in awhile. I'm not really sure why, seeing as you all know how much I love to talk, particularly about myself and my adventures. Until next time: ciao bellas!
