The Rock Band tournament last night was so much fun. Our band was Ovaryactive. At first, it was just me and Bekka but then Brad (a kid from our EU class) got his sister and her friend to join us. It was very, very awesome. I did not win most awesome contest but I was still awesome.
Afterward, we went to the bar and I felt like a college student.
The end.
I love you all.

Good news on the homefront
So one of my French papers, the longer one, received good news today:
1. The decision was made to have all students enrolled in the course turn in their final term papers in English (and not in the target language French, German or Spanish as originally stated).
2. FH, GN and SH students are still expected to conduct research that includes scholarly readings in their respective target language. These sources should also be cited in the bibliography (MLA style) of the paper.
Weight lifted, captain.
I still have not found an outfit for Friday. We had band practice yesterday and I thought that all our mediocre skills would somehow combine to form awesomeosity. This did not turn out to be the case. We will definitely not win on skills. I shall need the costume of all costumes or we will need stage presence beyond all stage presence.
The kitty is beyond very cute right now.
I love you all.

I gave my speech for my EU class today. It was terrible. I blacked out, I seriously don't remember much of it but I'm not concerned.
I am entering a Rock Band competition with Bekka and maybe Laura on Friday. It will be fantastic! I am thinking of getting a really awesome outfit and just rawking. That way, we at least have a chance of winning. What I will wear? I do not know.
I am sorry I have not called you back yet Jessa. I have had no time. I'll try to call you later this week but it might not be until after the weekend.
I love you all.

blast from the past!
The ballet was awesome. I almost want to go back to ballet. If only I was coordinated or flexible...
Hannah is awesome too. I wish I could hang with her more often.
Announcement: we can no longer be friends if you cannot smile witchyer eyes. There will be a test at the end of the week to weed out you non-smilers.
I have a speech on Tuesday that I haven't even started. Oh and I have to watch a movie and write a paper on it for French class on Friday. And really I am not stressed about it at all.
I have not yet watched this week's episode of John Adams but I believe I shall blog about it when I do.
It is going to be warm and awesome this week with rain and awesomeness. I plan on wearing dresses.
I love you all.

I got a facial today. Not that kind. The other one. It included a foot massage (or feet massage since I have two foots), hand massage and back massage. I am so incredibly chill still from it and it got done at 7. It was two hours long and now my stress is nonexistent. I highly recommend it.
I saw Run Fatboy Run with Katti, Oliver and Nick today. It was good. It was slow to start but it got fantastic once it picked up.
Also, why I love these people: "Fuck Princess Peach. It's motherfucking Princess Toadstool, you assholes." said Katti. "Is there a reason why they changed it?" asked Nick. "It wasn't girly enough. You know what I think of that? I think I want to shit on them. I am not normally into shitting on people but that deserves a nasty taco Cleveland steamer."
I have papers and taxes and scholarships due and I am not stressed about them at all. Lallalalala.
Oh! Do you want to see one of my host brothers in a stupid youtube video he made? WELL TODAY IS YOUR LUCKY DAY!
I swear I had something to say but I don't remember. OH! I did not wear a bra today and it felt wonderful.
Also, I am obsessed with Twitter because I can update from my phone. So, that's a good place to catch me dropping it like it's hot. Or whatever. Word to your mother.
I love you all.

i hope that, for everyone, not just myself, a lot of bad things happening at once is like taking bad tasting medicine all at once instead of three times a day. I hope that it'll be easier later when everyone else has it. It's all a little too much to keep up with, though.

The other day, I went to Barnes and Noble with Katti and Oliver. Oliver spied a giveaway for two tickets to Grand Rapids Ballet's production of Don Quixote. Oliver entered and made Katti enter and I entered because, really, why not? The only thing holding me back was who to take with me.
You probably know what's coming. I just got a call from GRap's Ballet saying I won two tickets to the show on Sunday, March 30 at 2. Who could I drag with me that would really appreciate it? Hannah, of course.
So on Sunday I will take my lovely sister with me to the ballet. And I am pretty excited. I haven't been to the ballet since I saw The Nutcracker with my girl scout troop. And I get to dress pretty! Yay!
In other news, I was going to write at least half of one of my papers today and my speech for next week but the internet wasn't working for a while so I got started on my romance novel. And it is so much fun that I don't want to stop. I'll start writing and researching later tonight.
I love you all.

Jimmy Eat World is coming to GRap a month from now and even though they aren't one of my favorite bands, I do love their music. I don't know if I can convince anyone to go with me though.
Cloud Cult is coming to Chicago and to Ann Arbor in April. I love them but, again, I can't get anyone to come with me. I keep hinting at Nick but it's not working.

I saw The Darjeeling Limited tonight. My life will never be the same again. It was fantastic.
I am getting my haircut tomorrow.
I accidentally burnt myself again. I am awesome. It was pretty stupid, the way it happened.
My left shift key is making a cool noise. I'm sure it's not good but it's a cool typewriter noise. The letter a is making a quieter version of the same noise. I would love to have a typewriter.
I am also doing karaoke tomorrow. Call me and let me know if you want to come along.

Hey, about that last entry? I just needed to get all that off my chest. I'm not apologizing or taking any of it back or anything and you guys are free to hate me or fight me or whatever. I just figured you ought to know where it came from.
I do not want to go back to school tomorrow. I am pretty pumped to see Henry Winkler though.
The movie Rudy made me want to go to Notre Dame. It never happened obviously but that was my dream because of that movie.
I went to the Women's Expo with Nick's mom and sisters early this morning. We popped over to the Wedding Expo too because Nick's little sister is getting married. Strangely this expo did not make me want to get married.
I am pumped for spring.

Bitches, I am sick and tired of putting all this effort into friendships when you guys aren't doing anything in return. I'm done, people. I am so done. And I am completely over you. I have tried, I have called, I have talked. I have loved, I have hated. I am completely done.
Oh, and Andy? I know what you said about me. I know what you have said about Katti. I thought you were an okay person but apparently I was wrong. I never realized you were such an asshole.
Ben, way to leave me hanging like you always do. It's always for another woman too.
Jessa, I think the way that you treat your marriage and your child is ridiculous. You have basically cut that part of your life out and that "horribly rankles me." It happened, you need to deal with it and admit it instead of completely ignoring three years or you might have some issues in the future.
Anyway, I know I'm being a bitch, all judgmental and whatever but I just need to get it all out.

I am way too hormonal lately. I watched Martian Child the other day with Nick and cried. I've been reading Marian Keyes and crying for no reason. I watched New Amsterdam and cried.
Silly woman-ness.
I'm supposed to pick up the girls tonight. I was all ready to get them at 11:53 but their plane done gone and got delayed and isn't coming in until 1:08 1:13 1:23 1:29 1:22. I best not get sleepy or we're going to have issues.

Yeah, tomorrow I am totally that girl. Just replace math with folk and square dance.
I just hope it goes well. I haven't babysat in about three years. The kids seemed awesome and they will be asleep for half the time I'm there anyway. I'm just nervous for nervous sake I suppose.

I do so enjoy receiving drunk phone calls. Especially when they include stories of mysterious makeouts in the oldest bar in Boston. Next time you're drunk, give me a ring.
I am terribly jealous that my friends are wandering around Boston and getting trashed at ancient bars. I am sitting here trying not to think about how I just indirectly admitted to Nick that sometimes I miss the opportunities I would have if I were single and planning my bus ride to work tomorrow. This adult stuff sucks.
I just want to party like any other college kid during my spring break.
It's nighttime, I'm getting down like I usually do.
Nick mentioned that the reason I might not be yearning for children like I usually am is because we have kitties. I think that he's right but I want to think that I'm over the marriage and children thing. I want to think that I am okay with where I am right now and I don't need any of that other stuff. And I do think that. I am convincing myself so far so who knows if it's true or not.
Blah blah blah.
I need a vacation. But not the kind I keep giving myself. I need a college kid, let it all hang out, party til dawn vacation.
I don't know what else I was going to say. Who wants to pretend we're all getting married and go try on wedding dresses? It'll be like playing dress-up.

As excited as I am for spring and summer, and as pumped as yesterday made me feel for spring (I sat in bed with my laptop and the bedroom window open, listening to the 40 degree air blowing and birds (!) chirping), I really like that during winter I can throw on a pair of jeans, shove my coat on over the ratty T-shirt I've been sitting in all day, slide on some shoes (sans socks) and pop up my hood to walk up the street and go drop off rent. Winter saves me from having to put real clothes on, take a shower, brush my hair, make sure I don't look like I've been sitting around all day and find shoes to walk in. Luckily, the office was closed so I didn't even have to see anybody and it was warm enough and dry enough that I got to wear shoes instead of boots.
All convenience of the last five minutes aside, yesterday made me really want spring to come. I heard birds chirping. BIRDS! Not ducks, not geese, real live birds. And I opened a window and turned the heat down. And I thought about not wearing a coat. I had options! I wore shoes, like today, shoes!
I am really sick of living in a place with snow. I think this snow and winter crap is hitting me harder because last year I was on the beach and tanning. Or at least thinking about it by now. I don't want to have to deal with it anymore.
This cat needs to learn how to use his claws. He just tries to pull them off instead of sliding his paw forward. I usually just let him sit there a minute trying to figure it out before I help him.
My friends are in Boston this week looking at grad schools. Which is cool except I could be hanging out with them instead of freaking out about what I'm going to do after graduation. And after they leave me.
I think I'm going to play Zelda. For some reason, Nick HATES me playing the game in the same room he's in. It doesn't even matter that I say he's not watching me play. Apparently he is watching me, just like he's watching TV, even while he's on the computer. Whatever. It just makes me mad that he can complain all he wants when I do stuff on the TV while he's on the computer but when he does anything on the TV and I complain a little, I'm being an asshole. /rant
I want to dress up. I have tons of dresses and nothing to wear them to. We need to have a dressy party or something. I can't wait until it's warm. I'll never wear pants or shoes again. It's shorts, skirts, dresses and short pants from the first warm day on.
There was lightening on Sunday. It was awesome.
The end.

The end of Stranger Than Fiction is my favorite part. I love that movie.
I am seriously thinking about getting a tattoo. I have zero money so it's not plausible right now (or anytime soon). I also want to wait a few months to make sure I absolutely do want it and it's not just a temporary want. Also, Nick doesn't like tattoos so don't mention it to him. I probably won't be able to get it anyway since we share funds and he thinks tattoos are silly. But I was just thinking about it so I thought I'd put it out there.
I want to participate in a die-in. It sounds like a lot of fun.

:: Music: Misery
Okay, seriously blogging now
I keep playing Iron Dukes even though I am really, very terrible at it.
Have you watched Drunk History yet? I resisted it for a long time but I just watched the episodes and it is quite hilarious. It's like if you filmed me drunk and I was making up stories like I always do.
I am watching Misery for the first time. I've seen some of it before but never all of it all the way through. I always thought it was so self-centered how Stephen King wrote a book about a writer being held hostage by a crazy fan. I mean, seriously.
I am waiting on one more book. I have all of them except Rachel's Holiday. I finished Watermelon last night. It was great. I am so excited to read the rest of her books and Anybody Out There? again. Oh that book is so good!
I'm debating whether or not to save the rest of Marian Keyes' books for last. I might just plow through them. I have break next week so I can always reread them if I want.
I don't really have anything else to say. I am dirt poor again. I don't even have enough money for rent. We're going to try to borrow some from Nick's parents and I'll ask my parents for a little too. I just don't know what happened. We somehow overdrafted our account again. Ugh. I would like our funds to balance out again. Sorry, you don't really need to know that.
[edit 6:26]
Phil Collins is just not as awesome in other languages. It sounds so weird. I always say that awkward sounding songs sound translated and that's really what it's like. Except it is translated. Okay, if I don't look at the lyrics and only half listen it's okay. His French accent is really harsh. His Spanish is okay, just over-exaggerated. Not like mine is any better and I'm really proud of him for signing the different versions. I'm just nitpicking because I have nothing else to do. I just realized that the one version is French Canadian so that might be why it seems so much weirder to me than the other. I'm sorry I ever said anything bad about you, Phil Collins.
Okay so now I'm watching Disney songs on YouTube. I am really surprised that I remember all the lyrics of these. And the ones in French are awesome. I am officially a dork. (I totally forgot about Strangers Like Me. I'm stuck on Tarzan songs now. I'm moving away from Tarzan by listening to songs from Prince of Egypt. (I know that's not Disney but that darn When You Believe song is awesome. It gets stuck in my head every time I hear it.))
Apparently Phil Collins is better in Italian? That's what the rumors seem to be. I'll check it out. Okay, Italian Phil Collins is awesome. Or maybe just because I don't know Italian it's better for me? I'm just going to put question marks on the ends of all my sentences now?

I stayed home today. Last night I couldn't sleep and kept waking up and feeling nauseated. Then I woke up this morning feeling the same way. And I still sort of feel queasy. I feel like I'm going to throw up in a couple minutes but that's how it's been all night. Just that almost throwing up feeling.
I'm still blaming the Salt Lake City air. I should probably eat something but we don't have anything that I don't have to make. Which is a bummer.
A building exploded in Eastown last night. Everyone is okay and it wasn't a usual haunt but it was freaky all the same.

First off, I would like to thank you all for visiting my friends' blog. They were quite overjoyed at the amount of visitors to their site.
Secondly, I received two more books in the mail! I got Pontoon and Watermelon. Pontoon is a former library book from the Riverton Library in Riverton, Utah. I don't know why it got turned around so quickly, this book is still only in hardcover, but the stamp says "out-of-date material." I think it also came with some sort of Salt Lake County air because now I have a headache. That could also be because I am DEAD TIRED. Watermelon looks fine, it's gently used and I am excited to read it.
So I'm just waiting on Anybody Out There?, Rachel's Holiday and Angels.
I love getting mail.
I'm not feeling too hot. I got free coffee today and I think it did funny things to my stomach. I didn't have that much to eat before I drank a lot of coffee so that's probably my issue.

This is how you can tell that these people are my friends
At the same time I was LIVEBLOGGING last night, my good French semester abroad friends were doing THE SAME THING. My friends and I are meant to be together. Really. We are made for each other.
If you want to read their awesome (color-coded, triple-personality) liveblog of last night's events, you can just pop over here. They are hoping to get really popular and miraculously make a lot of money so they don't have to get real jobs after graduation.
Speaking of which, I am all out of friends after this semester. I realize though that I said this before I left for France and magically got friends so I'm not too worried. I am losing some of my very best friends this year so I am full of sadness. On a happier note, they want to go camping (?) this summer and have invited me along. That will be an adventure.
I love you all.

[11:02] I've been waiting for the In Memoriam part. It's my favorite. Oh, Heath.
[11:05] Deborah Kerr died? Aw.
[11:25] Diablo Cody won for Juno and she's dressed like one of the Flintstones.
[11:26] Nick: You have a problem with what everyone is wearing tonight. Me: That's because everyone is wearing something ugly.
[11:26] Ellen Page looks adorable.
[11:33] It needs to speed up. Nick and I are hungry.
[11:45] SPOILER ALERT:No Country for Old Men won Best Pic. Surprise, surprise. Time to go get me some tacos.

The books I bought
Marian Keyes' Walsh Family Books (Anybody Out There?, Watermelon, Rachel's Holiday and Angels)
Ready or Not (the second All-American girl book) by Meg Cabot
It Happened One Autumn (some trashy romance novel: "Four young ladies enter London society with one necessary goal: they must use their wit and feminine wiles to find a husband. So they band together, and a daring husband-hunting scheme is born." It was five dollars and got good reviews. I'm a sucker for historical romance.)
Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: an Introduction (This will make my J.D. Salinger collect complete. I am a sucker for the Glass family. Also: two dalla.)
Pontoon: A Novel of Lake Wobegon (I read an except and my life was forever changed. It's an ex-library copy apparently so it's cheap.)
I got a package but I have yet to open it so I don't know which books are in it. I'll let you know.
Oh I've read Anybody Out There? and it was SO GOOD. Seriously. SO. GOOD. All of her books are like that apparently. With the goodness.
[edit] I received the two books that I cared the least about: trashy romance and the second All-American Girl novel. I am pretty pumped for the rest of my books.
