Some insightful title. Use your imagination.

I figure I should update, since I haven't.

Saturday was fun. I had a ward Halloween party and dressed up in a white trash bag. Yes, I was white trash. Go me. I even turned on my Southern accent for the night.

For some reasons, all of my teachers have decided to have me do either a big project or write a paper this semester. In every single class. I'm slightly annoyed.

And I hate boys. Especially ones that talk about things and ideas.

Wow, this is like, the third day in a row!

I guess when I have stuff to talk about, I blog more.

So last night, I had a very fun time going to see a movie with some people that I had never met before. The movie was called Serenity. It was a scifi deal about this crew on a ship and how they have to save the universe. Well, they didn't really have to save the universe, they just had to keep out of the clutches of this slightly creepy black guy who reminds me an awful lot of Morpheus from the Matrix.

Anyways, I got back from the movie and Lindsay about had a heart attack. I guess I should have said that I was going out, cause she had no idea where I had been for the last two and a half hours. Oops. And then I had to give the 411 on what had happened. Twice. Cause I only told the story to one roommate at a time. And I still haven't told Jessica either. She's gonna wig out, too. I don't normally just leave the apartment randomly and go to movies with strange boys that I only know from connections on the 100 hour board. And he's not that strange anyways. ;)

Tonight I'm going to Homecoming Spectacular with my way hot date. Yup, I'm going with my fabulous roommate, Lindsay! We went together last year, too. And we decided that when we're old and gray, we'll still drop everything the weekend of BYU's homecoming and fly to Provo, wherever in the world we are, to go to Homecoming Spectacular. Ok, maybe not. But it's a cool thought. Maybe we can do that when Lindsay gets phenomenally rich. I do love my roommates though. I don't know if they realize how much. They are my best friends and I thank my Heavenly Father every day for getting us together. Because I do not doubt that He had a hand in putting the four of us in one apartment last year.

Well, I'm off to do my homework for Bio 100. The most boring, stupid class ever. At least in my opinion.

Procrastinating

Ok, so basically I'm using this post as an excuse to procrastinate writing my response paper for my ELang class. Actually the paper shouldn't take very long to write. Half hour, tops.

So, I totally don't have to work Saturdays anymore. Except this Saturday. I'm working two hours for my dear coworker Sondra, bless her heart. She has to go be in the Homecoming Parade. But after that, I'm gonna go home and veg out in front of my computer for a long day of video games and movies. Hopefully I can get my Final Fantasy VII cd working. And maybe I'll do something productive. Like work on my Pearl of Great Price paper. Ok, well, I'm running out of things to type so my procrastination can't go on much longer. Pook. All right, I'm done now.

Eerieness

Have you ever watched someone from afar and felt like you know them entirely too well? That you know what they're feeling because you feel the same way? You don't know this person in real life, but you've caught glimpses of who they are and it scares you to death because he is going through nearly the very same thing that you are. And you're jealous of him because he can express himself better than you, but you savor every word of his because he expresses himself so very beautifully. And when you find out that he has found a girl to like you feel awful, because you're jealous when you shouldn't be jealous. You don't know him and he doesn't know you; you have no right to be jealous. But you are jealous, all the same. Because when you catch the few glimpses into his soul, when you read the words he's written, you feel like you are home. And you're scared and happy at the same time. And you feel a ghostly connection to this boy you've never met. But you never ever ever try to actually make a connection. You wouldn't want to add to his problems. You know how you would feel if someone intruded himself upon you. And so you hope that these eerie feelings will just go away on their own.

Madame Librarian

For me, working at the library is the equivalent of a 6-year old living in a candy store: just the thought of it makes my mouth water.

Today, I got so distracted while helping this sweet lady that I forgot that it was time to go to class. When I finished with her, I looked at the clock. It read 1:09. Class had started nearly ten minutes previously! So I booked it (sorta) down to the JSB in time to be there for most of class. And I'm glad I got there, too. We talked about spirits and intelligences today. Pretty fascinating stuff. But also mind-boggling, too.

So after that class, I went and read more of Kingdoms and Conquerors (The new Tennis Shoes among the Nephites book) until it was time for my next class. Grammar.

This is not a boring class. I'm serious. You'd think it would be, but my professor does his best to keep our interest. And it works. He's from Australia and he tells great stories. And we try ever so hard to keep him telling stories and away from teaching grammar. And it works.

Ok, random time. I check out a lot of books from the library. And then I read them all at the same time. I'm in the middle of about 5 books right now.

And if you want to see the project I recently finished for my internet publishing class, go here.
