HAPPY BINGE EATING DAY!!!

Thanksgiving is always a good time with my family but I try to keep the eating to a minimum. This day has always been a test in whether or not I can finish off the day without feeling like I have to throw up.

However, I'm super psyched to have two days off from work though so everyone else can happily gorge themselves.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

In my humble opinion, Bella should choose NEITHER.

Last night I saw New Moon and though I left the theater fairly satisfied, I grew angrier and angrier as the night went on. Here's why:

1. Bella is a horrible character- she's whiny, self-involved, reckless and has no interests or hobbies whatsoever besides hanging out with guys.

2. Edward was ok in the first movie- the brooding thing worked to his advantage. In this movie, all he did was repeat the lines "You are my life now" and "You are my everything." He had nothing substantial and I was left feeling like Bella should up and leave the broken record.

3. Jacob was the best part of the movie and he walks around with his shirt off for 90 % of the film. He's 17. Something doesn't feel right about staring at a 17-year-old with his shirt off for two hours. Anyways, at least he has some depth- but Bella can't be bothered to love him because she's got her other boring ass boyfriend.

4. Shamefully, I've read the books but seeing it all in action just made me realize how dumb the books are. The movie starts off with Edward's vampire family throwing Bella a birthday party. Bella opens a present and gets a paper cut. All of the vampires have to be restrained so they don't kill the bitch. The next day, Edward decides to leave her because he put her in harm's way. THAT'S ALL IT TAKES??? Sounds like eternal love to me.

I'm angry.

Itchin' for school

I just want to go to school already. It's hard to live in the present and just go home after work everyday and be bored out of my mind because I have no applications to fill out. There's only so many nights out I can handle and so much time I can fill with gym trips etc.

I'm going to go to the arts and crafts store when I get back from Thanksgiving and then maybe I can figure out some sort of time consuming hobby.

I will miss you Cory.

It's hard not to have a few regrets in life. Today, I'm facing a rather big one. A friend passed away on the morning of November 16th. He was about a month away from graduation. The last time I saw him was randomly at the Denver airport about a year and a half ago. He was rushing to make his plane and luckily I was able to get a quick hello in. Since then we had quite a few online chats and I think even a phone call or two.

He was always optimistic despite the roadblocks in his life. Everyone was always rooting for him.

All of my post grad visits to Penn State, I kept thinking I should call him and see him. Then the weekends would get crazy and I wouldn't get around to it. I have never really felt the rush to get facetime with people but I should have listened to my gut. I will regret this for a long time.

I will miss you Cory. My heart goes out to your family.

On nights like these I always think- you should go out- next year at this time you will be in law school hell and won't be able to think about going out- so go out enjoy. But then I don't go out.

I want someone who's not afraid of me
or anyone else.
In other words, I want someone
who's not afraid of themself.

No big updates.

I definitely applied to too many law schools. I got really nervous because a lot of my friends last year had really horrible experiences. So I made sure to get everything out the door the first week applications were available to be submitted. I also applied twice as many schools as I should have. So I heard back from a school in mid-October. Now I'm accumulating about one acceptance per week and it's VERY EXCITING. I'm going to have some decisions to make and that's more than I could have asked for.

I feel like I have severe senioritis at work though. I really don't want to do anything anymore now that I know I'm going to school. I want to move on to the next step of my life. But then I have to remind myself that the next three years are going to suck so I should enjoy life now and enjoy reading and television etc.

Bryce and I went to see Stop Making Sense on Sunday night at MIT. I really have to take advantage of how close that theater is. The movie was awesome and very entertaining. I found myself wishing I was Tina Weymouth and jamming up on the stage with the rest of the band. SO GREAT.

I am the Cosmos

I really wish I had more interesting things to talk about but life has been pretty blah recently. Especially this past month. I've been like an application zombie. I go to work, come home, work out, finish a couple applications, watch some stupid shows like 90210 or Gossip Girl (cringe) and then go to bed (or not really go to bed but actually just pretend to be asleep for 8 hours). Then repeat.

I'm trying to regain what I feel I've lost- my individual interests and pursuits. I picked up my Canon Rebel on the way out of my apartment the other day and checked it out. I have no fucking clue how to get the best use out of the camera. I know how to use the basic setting. I seriously need to figure this shit out.

I went to yoga the other day and felt like a complete moron like I always do in yoga. It also made me realize that I don't feel like a moron enough. Everything is so safe- planned and carefully calculated. EVEN the top 25 songs played on my ipod haven't changed in 2 years.

AND ENOUGH WITH THE VAMPIRES. I fell into that trendy little trap. I need to read some real books again.

So this is my new plan. I've already purchased a couple of new albums to spice things up. At the top of the playlist is the new Pete Yorn album featuring Scarlett Johansson (who I hate for no good reason). From start to finish the album just blows me away which rarely ever happens. Feel free to give me some suggestions (Bryce- if you're reading this).

On the plus side, I've learned a lot about myself. And, as always, I love my friends.

Actually back?

I just read all of my old posts. It's like reading a diary. Do I make a new blog or do I move forward from here?

I want to go home.

I got up this morning and for a second actually thought it was still the weekend. Depressing.
