I'm tired just thinking about it

my day was a complete disaster, but hey at least I have a working computer (sorta, kinda, not so much maybe) and I out smarted the geek squad...

I never thought this day would come...I played WOW today. My brother got me a subscription for 3 months. Like I need another way to procrastinate...

My Uncle Jim passed away yesterday morning. He had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 5 weeks earlier. I can't believe it. I didn't even know he was sick. RIP Uncle Jim.

I could seriously spend an obscene amount of money on shoes right now. But I won't, because I'm "responsible" like that. ;)

I'm also broke, but I prefer the responsible excuse. It just sounds better!

I love Jamie Bamber. I love British accents. I love law and order.

Jamie bamber + accents + law and order = Law & Order UK!

Apparently they've already started showing episodes. I'll let you know if its any good after I watch the available ones online! It's sad but I'm ridiculously excited about this.

Guess what? It's mardi gras/shrove tuesday. Do you know what that means? It's pancake day! I'm totally making pancakes when I get home from school!

odd length shorts + long coat + leggings one size too small + uggs = bad fashion choice.

I didn't realize how little of a life I had until a minute ago. It almost midnight on friday night, the night before v-day and I'm answering my students' e-mails. I need to get out of this black hole!

Isn't it amazing how busy and lonely I am all at the same time. It takes talent I swear. And this year there's no disney world to look forward to for spring break...just writing a 30 page research paper.

On another note: What's with the 25 things about me meme floating around? Seriously! I don't even want to know 25 facts about me, let alone 97% of my facebook friends.

So I may or may not be adopting a cat this weekend

I totally forgot how amazing Wonderfalls was. It's hardly surprising considering it was created by Bryan Fuller, but I never realized that Lee Pace was in it! Too bad it was canceled after 4 episodes...

Liam Neeson as Abraham Lincoln. Mind bogglingly weird and awesome.

after how many years I still dread going back to school after christmas break. Feels rather childish, but there you go.

I was sick, started feeling better, and now feel even worse.

And yes I sound like a deaf man...

My family doesn't have too many holiday traditions (lets face it my dad is a scrooge and my mom has been overworked for years), but right now I'm doing one of those traditions. I'm making beef stew and bishop's cake (think cross between angel food and pound cake) for christmas eve dinner. It might not be much but it is one of our traditions and I'm happy for it.

This year I haven't been able to really get into the christmas spirit. Between the economy, my heavily charged credit card/debt, family bickering, and the fact it was 80 the other day, the holiday cheer just doesn't seem to want to happen. But now the tree is up, christmas music is playing, and there is delicious food in the oven. A girl could do worse for the holidays, and I'm planning on having a fabulous christmas tomorrow. I hope you all have a wonderful holidays!

And I had to include my favorite holiday song: Judy Garland's Have yourself a merry little christmas. Its one of those less than peppy songs that some might say is depressing. But, I think its appropriate with everything happening this year. Remember: Hang a shining star on the highest bough and have yourself a merry little Chirstmas now

No matter who you supported or voted for, watching history happen before your eyes is an amazing thing. Watching the coverage and seeing so many people turn out and actually vote, it makes me proud that the system can actually work and people/americans still care. The only thing I'm upset about now is the ban on gay marriage in florida probably passing. It surprises me that a state that votes in favor of an african american man can't allow all people the same freedoms.

plus 90% of my class voted, so yay! democracy but booo! prejudice

what is with all the fake people lately? Grow the fuck up or leave me the hell alone. It isn't high school and you aren't the "cool kids"

Because this is more interesting than writing a research paper...
