Frugality
We had a discussion at work last night about our favorite and most hated fonts respectively and I have never been so pleased with the caliber of my co-workers. That being said, I like the new icon design, tumblr. I’m also beginning to get the pre-video game release jitters for Mass Effect 3, which is pretty shitty because I can’t actually spend any money to buy it. Tomorrow begins my...

Movie$
I am the biggest bandwagon-jumper tonight. I have obtained four of the ten movies nominated (winner included) for best picture at the Oscars. I’ve always loved movies, and I never have time to watch them anymore. When I was little, we went to the movies quite a lot. The first memory I have of going to the theater was the day Hercules came out. We went back to see it around five different...

Obsession
I may be more inclined to speak English in France next month just so I can hear the French speak English. I think the accent is adorable, I can’t help it. If only I knew someone who could speak French to me all of the time OH WAIT. I guess I have to go see The Artist now, considering it won every Academy Award there is. The Oscars were so heavily won by the French tonight, and every time I...

Shaking
The worst part of this is not knowing anything, ever. I just want to know if you’re okay. Not talking to you all day is pretty miserable, too. :(

First World Problems...
I can’t tell if I’m more disappointed that I’m about to beat Mass Effect 2 and the experience will be over…or if it’s because Mass Effect 3 comes out in March and I literally can not spend any money to get it.

There is more to life.
Glee tonight was incredibly moving, and I was inspired. I figure it’s about time I share my story. When I was a little girl, I remember standing on the front step every time I arrived home and taking a deep breath, preparing for the constant yelling inside. I was always sad. I always wanted to go to sleep because nothing mattered while I was asleep. This is, of course, the extremely...

Trapped
The worst thing about being on campus, minus the constant verbal harassment/fearing for my life/lack of things to do is having nowhere to escape. When I would get depressed or angry at my house, I would go outside and sit on the driveway. The stars were always so clear and beautiful from there, and I would sit out there with a blanket and think until I calmed down. Here, there’s no place to...

One month, ten days.
40 days seems like such an insignificant amount of time leading up to quite a significant event…can’t wait :) I haven’t indulged my gamer side in quite awhile, so that’s all I’m doing, all night long. Mass Effect, LittleBigPlanet, you name it.
I also got back my English essay/presentation grade, A+. All of the comments from my classmates were that I was a good public...

Sleep and Schedules
Thursdays are the days that I get to sleep in, so that is certainly welcomed after last night. I had a dream that it was the day before I left for Paris, but for some reason, my flight schedule was Dayton > Colorado > London > Paris instead of Dayton > Chicago > London > Paris. I was talking about how excited I was and my older sister was like, “Or I can just go for...

Nightmares
“The doctors prescribed me the pills, But I know I’m not crazy I’ve just lost my will So why am I, why am I taking them still? I need something to believe in, A breath from the breathing So write it down, I don’t think that I’ll close my eyes ‘Cause lately, I’m not dreaming, So what’s the point in sleeping? It’s just that at night, I’ve...

Rescue is Possible.
Valentine’s Day has the highest number of suicides every single year. Having not seen my boyfriend for two months, I realize how lonely things can get, especially on the one day of the year where everyone seems to have someone. No matter what your relationship status, you are not alone. To Write Love on Her Arms holds an annual “Valentine’s Day Doesn’t Have to Suck”...

A few words about my valentine: He’s the best man I’ve ever met. I’m pretty sure I had this tumblr on Valentine’s Day last year because I remember saying something about it. I know you STILL hate this holiday Benjamin, but thank you for treating me so wonderfully and I can not wait to come spend a week in Paris with you. I still fall asleep every night feeling like the...

"I like the burn to serve as an eraser..."
Another quiet night consisting of pizza, Pretty Little Liars, and Playstation.
Earlier today, I went back to my alma mater to give blood, which is always weird because the drive is always set up in the cafeteria I used to eat in. I passed the pre-test, which is easily the most terrifying part (my temperature always runs high and my heart palpitates for no reason at all) and filled my blood bag in...

Grammy's
If I could win any award, it would be a Grammy. If I could attend any award show, it would be the Grammy’s. Also, Katy Perry just sang her song clearly directed at Russell Brand with so much spite. This is my brilliant commentary. Also, Bon Iver got cheated out of Best Song of the Year. Sure, Adele has some good songs, Set Fire to the Rain comes to mind (probably because of Ben…lawl)...

"I think I can handle you."
A year and a half ago today, I asked you to be my boyfriend. We’ve come so incredibly far, and I can’t wait for the next month, and the next, and Paris, and everything afterward. I’ve been happier the past eighteen months than I ever have been, and I’m pretty certain I’m the luckiest girl ever. I can’t wait to come see you, 51 days is nothing. Thank you for...

Stay
I’ve been put in the most wonderful mood, as I always am after video chatting, but something that was said lingers in my mind. This has been hard to say the least. It’s been more than worth it, but it’s been hard. I can’t even imagine having you home, and without an expiration date. That is, to say that there won’t be any more countdowns until I have to say goodbye to...

Insomnia
I slept for around thirty minutes in total last night. It was absolutely miserable. Right this moment, it is 1:22a and I am laying in bed. This is unheard of, but I need to get an early start tomorrow. Early, may I add, is a relative term. My first class isn’t until 1:30, so I usually wake up at noon, but tomorrow I’ll be waking up a bit earlier. After all, I have the closest thing...

Nerves
All I do anymore when I’m bored is look up what to expect on international flights. I’m going to be in Paris in less than two months. What? Looking back, I feel so bad for being so self-involved before my boyfriend left. He did such a wonderful job of making sure I was okay and not freaking out about him leaving too much. I’m only going to France for a week, he was leaving for a...

Paris
I had a wonderful day with my best friend today, and while out at lunch, we talked a bit about Paris. I literally can not wait. It doesn’t even seem real yet. I know it won’t until about a week before I leave, but I’m so excited. I know it’s going to be one of the best weeks of my life, and I can’t think of anywhere else I’d rather go or anyone else I’d...

Giants
I love when the underdog wins. I also love when smug quarterbacks lose. My weekend home was successful. I made good money for my upcoming trip, and apparently, passport prices are rising so I saved a few bucks. Good news all around. Yesterday, I was working with one of my good friends, and we decided to play my iPod over the speakers. Now, this is risky because my iPod is pretty unpredictable, but...

Melting
I was talking to someone last night about how I have six siblings, so it’s been my role ever since I was born. I’ve always been a sister. I was talking around the house before work about how sad it is without Ben here and my little sister agreed that it sucked that I couldn’t see my valentine. I explained that neither of us believed the day was a “holiday”, but that...

The trip was hell. Walking miles and miles in the new shoes you told me not to wear was hell. Looking out over this beautiful city with you made me so happy. I decided then that there were so many more places that I wanted to see with you. I can’t wait to add Paris to the list.

Home
Escaping the bedbugs for the weekend and staying home. It’s surprisingly nice to be here, probably because I’ll be working and sleeping the whole time, but regardless. I’m lonely and I miss my best friend. This sound pathetic, I’m aware, but the hardest part isn’t even not seeing him, it’s hardly talking. I just want it to be March already.

I’ll stop making my post titles song lyrics…someday.
Graduated to FOILing today in math class, so yeah, sure. Most people do FOILing when they’re in seventh grade and that’s the end of it. Not in good old developmental math! If this pathetic tale isn’t an effective public service announcement to learn your times tables, I don’t know what is. Anyway, I’m...

Float On
Driving to work today with the windows down, music blaring, and wind blowing in my hair was so picturesque. I was in a great mood all day, and I still can’t stop smiling. I’m just really, really thrilled with how my life is going. I have the best man, best friends, best job (give or take)…maybe all of this good weather is going to my head, but I’m just happy.
