Positive Image

My laptop battery's about to die and I haven't blogged in DAYS!

I saw Divergent spontaneously last night. I really was not impressed. I went with two friends. One of them had read the book and one of them hadn't. The friend that had read it and I agreed, if we hadn't read the book we'd be confused. You miss so much of Tris' thoughts and why she does what she does. And the whole Four storyline is just kind of forced and just... not very exciting I guess?

ALSO! Kate Winslet makes some random huffs and weird panting sounds at the end which made me think... was she even trying in this? I mean, I feel like the people that made Divergent were maybe like... what big name can we get to be involved in this?! KATE WINSLET SAID YESS!!! Give her as many lines as possible! Even if it was a bit of a hindrance to the plot. WHATEVER SHE DESERVES IT.

What else is new? I realized that maybe my reading taste is becoming more defined? Because I started reading this book a friend gave me and it's AWFUL. Hang on... Did I blog about this before? Let me check...

No, I just THOUGHT about blogging about it. OKAY. SO. A friend gave me a book to read. Just some light chick-lit and I have since started to read it and it's AWFUL. Like... I'm sorry, Stephanie. I just can't keep reading it. Everything is so over-the-top cliche and it's just not well-written. Which is a bummer because I've read some other stuff by the same author and I remember liking it a lot. But apparently there's well-written cheesy (a la Sophie Kinsella, Meg Cabot, and Helen Fielding) and then there's BAD cheesy. Where the characters flip flop in motives, the plot points are laid out so plainly there's no way you can miss it, and the terrible similes abound. I'm not really sure what was going on there. A Billion Reasons Why? More like A Billion Reasons Why Not to Read This.

This post has been pretty negative so far. Let's lighten the mood, shall we? HAHAHA! I searched "positive image" and this was one of the first results:

Trying to be Helpful

Haha, wow. I was clearly... distracted last night. But look at my dedication, still blogging away!

Tonight I realized that I think I'm the most unhelpful helpful person. I saw this guy on the sidewalk walking home and I offered to give him a ride (after much deliberation and multiple U-turns). But I was so so happy he was accepting the offer and that I could even BE helpful that I shoved open the door as he was getting in, basically pushing him back into the snowbank he just finished climbing over. CLASSIC. Then he had this bag of (presumably work clothes) and I chucked that into my backseat panicking that this wasn't going at all like I expected it to be. BUT IT'S WHATEVER. At least I got to drive him home.

He turned out to be a co-worker of my housechum, Hannah. So that was sweet. But I felt bad about pushing him into the snowbank. He seemed pretty grateful despite having to make sure all of his clothes were in the bag when I handed it to him. I was just REALLY excited!

ANYWAY, it's way too late and I should clearly go to bed so... GOODNIGHT!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's day!

I worked for about six hours before I realized that it was STP day and I could use that as a greeting. Good call, Abby!

I'm not really sure what to write about. We watched Laws of Attraction and by watched I mean, we paid no attention for the entire hour and a half. Good call guys!

And now everyone's singing Frozen. I think it's time for bed. Sorry, this is terrible.

Exhaustion

Exhausted.

Today, I just don't even know what to write about. I feel like this is the time in my life where I'm doing so many different things. And I just don't have time to relax. At all. I just don't even know.

Let's try this again, but less whiny??

Today I had church, got lunch at the Chatterbox with friends, met up with Brynn, and worked at the radio station. Solid day.

We also have another house guest with us! Another one of Jami's teammates. Woo! I tell ya, by the end of this month I might actually like a little piece and quiet. But for now I like having people in our house! It's so much fun being able to hang out with people I haven't seen in a while and building on those relationships.

Today Brynn and I talked about our future and I was like, "I don't even have to say I wonder what life will be like in ten years. I just wonder what we'll be doing a year from now." This is such a weird time for both of us because I don't think either of us is ready to be committed to anything for more than a year. Like, working at the bookstore for more than a year is boggling my mind. It could happen, but I don't feel ready for it right now.

Well, clearly I can't think straight right now so I'm saying goodnight.

what an exhausting life

So Abby, the beautiful child of God, just handed me her tablet so that I would blog for her since she is having a pretty exhausting day today! Seriously, this hard working girl had to get up at 6.50am and just got home ( it's noon now) to go to her other work in less than an hour ...to spend there the rest of her day. Kind of at least because she will have to close up ...so please, people be nice to her and should you read this before the day is ober , feel free to send her an encouraging message!! Thanks for your attention! Have a great, hopefully not as exhausting day as Abby!

Peace out!

Experiences and Thoughts

Have you ever been told to enjoy your food? I was talking with some friends and one of them talked about a food course that they took. One class they had to eat one bite for a few minutes and try to appreciate what they were experiencing with all of their senses.

Well, guys. I tried to EXPERIENCE my food this morning. I took my bowl of cereal into my room (Anne was sleeping in our living room, like a beautiful, resting butterfly), sat down on the floor and.... Kept repeating "Everybody (yeah, yeah)! Rock your bodyyy!" while eating my Frosted Flakes.

I think some people are more introspective, and I'm not one of them. Which is okay! I've accepted that. In fact, I like it! I don't get bogged down with doubt or worry or too anxious about anything. Sure, there are times when it happens, but then I start wondering about how delicious pepper jack grilled cheeses are and then I spot the book I checked out at the library and think about how I should renew it so I don't have to pay the lost fee and then I'll maybe never go back there so I don't have to face the librarians that love me and think I'm being a successful adult pursuing a career in radio and not a bum that's too lazy to even sign into the library website to renew my books.

My thought processes are pretty similar to what shows up on these blogs.

Woopsie Daisies

Thanks for the encouragement, Beth! I really like your comments. It makes it more fun when I check my blog!

Speaking of, guys! I forgot to blog yesterday! I vaguely thought about it last night while we were watching Head Over Heels and that was it! So silly of me!

Also speaking of, don't you hate it when you watch a movie from high school and it turns out that it's actually a terrible movie and you don't know what charm you thought it had? That happened last night and when I watched The Sweetest Thing with Jami. Why was everything in the early 2000's so gross?!

Anyway, I'm off to work, but I'll probably post something else later, gators.
