Where were you

So, I really want to go on a road trip. Do people rent cars for this or do they take their own? Honestly, I'm selfish and don't want to put anymore miles on my car. Plus, you could rent a nicer car than yours, like in Crossroads, a convertible and we could sing "If it Makes You Happy?" over a montage of different scenery.
Ok, maybe not.

But really, the reason I want to take a road trip is because of Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. Now, you may think when you first see this show "Hey, it's that really annoying guy from the TGI Friday's commercials," and yes, it is that guy. But this is his show on Food Network. It is honestly the best show I've ever seen. Guy Fieri just goes to different "greasy spoons" or local places and just eats their delicious food. I've learned so much about different types of food I want to try from his show. And I even found out about a Chicago thin crust pizza that I've never eaten before but it looks delicious! (Note: I probably have never eaten there also because I think it's in the part of the South Side that hates black people.)

Basically. I want to go on a road trip of different places that Guy Fieri has been on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Really, who wants to go with me?

If that boy don't love you by now

There is snow outside. On March 29th. I'm hungry. My sister has been in and out of the hospital. My computer is making weird noises. I can only say that I haven't put anything in this because I am not having a good time. I think at the show, I will get some pretzel bites.

All The things I could do. If I had a little money. It's a Rich Man's World

Guess what I forgot?
How much I hate applying to things. Seriously. I wish I was over this part of my life. I woke up this morning to try and schedule an appointment and failed and then I decided to watch the last part of an episode of 90210 and then start applying to schools. And then I figured out why I keep putting it off: Because I hate filling applications out. However, I really want to be a teacher, so I'm going to do this, obviously. Cause that's what I need to do.

Ugh. Seriously. I wish there was an easier way to like get into things. But there's not, so I gotta suck it up and not be a little bitch.
Basically, I just need to man up.

Girl. You'll Be a Woman. Soon

So I wrote this long entry and then blogspot deleted it. THANKS A LOT. I will try to recreate the genius that I wrote ten minutes ago.

It's March and that can only mean one thing: NCAA Tourney. And filling out brackets! When I was six I used to DREAD March because the only thing we could watch at night was basketball, and I was not into it at all. But now, as an older soul, I can tell you that I kind of like it. No, I don't watch every game, but I still enjoy the season. Especially filling out brackets. It's like a ritual: who do you think is going to win, whose statistics are better, can you choose the underdog to win it all? It's just all very interesting. I could fill out brackets all day. Seriously. And think of all the different combinations you can make! It's a math major's dream.
(I am not a math major)
The other good part about March Madness is that I don't really have any allegiances to any teams, so in brackets, I can choose who is actually going to perform better without feeling like a shithead. Yeah D3 schools! the only schools that I have any sort of alliance too include Kansas and Illinois. That's about it. Sometimes Georgetown, if they're good enough to be included (they were not this year). I've been filling out like a bracket a day. Anyone want to start a pool?

I heard a rumor that governor Quinn is about to stop sales tax for ten days. I will spend SO MUCH money during those days, it will be ridiculous. Ok, I won't, but it will be nice to not have to pay a sales tax. (10 days in August, but only for clothes, shoes and supplies)

Siki made his status about Pepper Ann and now all I want to do is watch Pepper Ann/the theme song is stuck in my head.

Everytime I go to the library, I can't not get any books. Like, today I was just returning books, especially since my dad just bought me books. Oh well, apparently I didn't give a shit, cause I checked out four books, and I just checked out four books four days ago. Who am I?
I guess a person who likes to read.
I finished Confessions of a Shopaholic today (I opted to read the book and not see the movie) and I was geniunly intrigued by how well she wrote about people who impulsively shop. But also, it was frightening because I'm pretty effing close, I won't lie.
More on that...another day

I would be you you would be me we would be one we would be just fine

So yesterday, while waiting for a series of events to occur, I started watching this move called The Go-Getter on showtime, because. Zooey Deschanel was in it. I actually really like her a lot, and I find it difficult to not run out and see every movie she's been in ever (I did however, opt to not see Yes Man. I will catch that on DVD). So for part of the movie, she's just a voice on a telephone, which is fine, because her voice is very recognizable. HOwever, before we the audience get to see her, we have to see Jena Malone. Her voice, to me, is very recognizable and as soon as I heard it, I almost changed the channel because I can't stand her. I don't know what it is about her, but I would prefer to not watch movies with her in it. And I think it's because she like started off in Stepmom and then just continuously only decided to be in independent films. Good. Good for her. I have managed to enjoy movies when she was in them, but frankly, I still don't even like her. She's a good actress though. It's a strange hatred that I have, I know.

Anyway, the movie was just ok. Both of my parents called me during it and I got upset by one of their phone calls and then I had to shower so I missed the end of the movie. I read the ending, and it seemed kind of like a let-down. Maybe I'll see it again, maybe I won't.

Anyway, the next movie Zooey Deschanel will be in is 500 Days of Summer and I'm pretty excited because it's her and Joseph Gordon Levitt dating. JGL is pretty much my dream man, not gonna lie. Also, guess who's not in it?
JENA MALONE

Ain't Ain't I Real

So I will explain my lack of updates in that my basement flooded twice. The first time it flooded, my power cord got destroyed, therefore I couldn't use my laptop. The second time it flooded, my internet got messed up, therefore I had a laptop with no power + no internet = I'm really not able to do anything. So that's messed up. But I'm back, and it's exciting/It's time to start applying for school. Wamp wamp. But I need to so that when I move I can pretend like there was a reason other than me not wanting to live in the Ho-Flo. Not that there's anything wrong with the Ho-Flo, and I'm sure about to go to Wal-Mart and look for those Taylor Swift sundresses, I just feel like I'm going to get stuck int he south suburbs. And I don't want to do that. This has never really been my plan. And yes, I failed at the beginning of my Americorps experience in that Meggan asked if anyone wanted to be roomates and I said no, when really, I should have said yes, because Meggan and I actually get along really well. So that was my mistake. Basically, my life has consisted of a lot of mistakes, but you know. That's how you learn and grow, so I guess I can't really hate.

Also, if you'll note, it is 8:44 am on a Saturday. I woke up an hour ago. I have a huge sleeping problem, and everyone knows this. I wake up super early all the time and occasionally can't sleep through the whole night. It is especially awful if I am worrying about something before bed, because I will wake up like 4 hours later and worry some more. It's an intense problem, one I'm trying to deal with without psychologically drugs. Mainly because at some point, I do want to have children, and I'm pretty positive I can't take drugs everyday on that one. But last night what I was worrying about was how I was going to pay for my apartment after Americorps is over. The only awkward thing about my Americorps program ending is that it ends July 17th. Normally, I would just try to be a camp counselor, since I like kids and I could make a decent amount of money. However, I have to work full time until July 17th, so that's a no go. And who can say if ESPN Zone will have a hostess job open. (You may laugh, but that's like actually my dream job. Especially during the summer, where all that will be on is BASEBALL)
So I get worried. Naturally. Also, it doesn't help when my mom harass me about it because she really doesn't want me to move. At all. Which I yell at her all the time about not being supportive because she should be. But whatever, it's because she won't really have a built in babysitter anymore, and that's a problem that she has to figure out. Not me.

What else? I saw the Watchmen and thought it was fabulous. Apparently, there are a lot of critics who hate it, but I thought it was pretty fair and true to the graphic novel. And yes, it sucks that some parts were cut out, but the movie was already 3 hours long. I don't think I could have sat through much more, and I love the graphic novel. Just sayin.

I went to Knox last weekend to see the Terp show and it was weird. Because I wasn't in it. I haven't actually watched a Terp show in the audience since my freshman year winter term. I didn't even see it my freshman year fall term. So it was a weird experience, and I have to say. I kind of didn't like it. I won't lie.

I guess this is growing up.
