URG!

I would like to take a moment and rant about the government! Specifically Taxes!

I am a poor college student! 9 months of the year, i live in a dorm with 200 other people. Since may the government has taken $362.72! Since MAY! That is 20% of my hard-earned money! i acknowledge that everyone gets taxed, some/most get over taxed. HOWEVER, this is my blog and in my blog, i am mad about uncle sam stealing my money! there should be a tax waiver for students. if your in college, junior college, technical school, or high school, you shouldn't have to pay taxes. Do you intentionally trip babies as they learn to walk? NO! leave college students alone! We typically spend our money in the "right places" (i.e. retail, electronics, cars, food)i believe the government wants us to use our money for the good of the economy. We would spend more if they wouldn't steal it from us. AND WHY AM I BEING TAXED FOR BEING SINGLE??? Stupids trying to force us all into marriage. losers. Can the Lord come and rid us of this terrible world? Please?!!

stink

Do not let the title of this post fool you! this summer is going really well. I just got back from a ten day trip to Nashville for IMPACT at Lipscomb U.
However, i have gone to the dark side.

Yes, i finally gave in and got a myspace... I kind of hate myself for it. But i have resolved not to do a thing to it, just keep it for access to the music sceen.

love you all!

Signed, A traitor

So this was my Drawing and Composition final.
I am aware that it is cheesy surrealism. However, it was supposed to be.
I rocked it! Yea, i made an A on this piece.
Art snobs: Lay off. I know it isn't perfect, but it is the only thing i have ever drawn i liked.

Enjoy!

Pop Culture Pricing

Will someone please tell me what this character is from? I recognize it, but cannot place it. All i know is that i used to love them! It reminds me of the alphabet people, but it isn't.

Someone please slap me for throwing away my Saved By the Bell shirt! Who knew i could have sold it for $30 if i had just waited a few years. Seriously, mom, is this why you don't throw anything away? ;)

~April~

Okay, so i promised you a post in April.
I finally came through!

School is winding up and down simultaneously thanks to finals and they-are-trying-to-make-us-Dead Week. I pack up and head for home the 10! I will then spend precicely 9.5 days at home before i head to ALABAMA for a spectacular summer internship. I am telling you in advance, there probably won't be blogging. Maybe a pic post, but don't hold your breathe! I am the only Intern. It promises to be an exillerating, informative summer.

Events in April:

Spring Sing took over campus. It wasn't the best year, but everyone worked hard and had fun. I didn't participate, but i saw the show. Congrats to everyone on a job well done.

I also Visited FHU. I went the same weekend as Makin Music, but somehow didn't get to the show. I did get to drink lots of coffee and see all my friends!!! Fun was had by all! I am so glad i got to see them I missed them.


Days for Darfur was an international awareness week April 23-27. It was a truely inpressive display, as my friend MA organized the entire week at FHU. There was a benefit concert, and a booth all week, but more importantly, people were told about this terrible genocide.

I saw Taylor Swift in concert at Harding. Very fun... Very High School, but a good show inspite of it all. I also enjoyed three movies, onegood and thrilling, one funny and terrible, and one pointles and terrible: Disturbia, Blades of Glory, and Hannibal Rising. Disturbia was very teen priented, but thrilling. If you are in a Will ferrel place, go see blades of glory. Don't ever go see Hannibal Rising. It just isn't worth the film.

Hopefully i willl see you all in May!

Readers

the thing about blogging is you hope someone reads what you take the time to post.

The only way i know of to see who is reading your blog, is to see who comments.

Now Dr. Burt has chastised me about not bloging often enough, and mom has commented once or twice.

I need to know people are reading and caring, So comment.

I hope you had a happy March.

for my april post, i will actually tell you something. IT WILL BE AMAZING. so come back, comment, and visit often.

It's About Time I Update

It has been quite a while since i updated. Christmas was amazing! I got a new green sweater, thanks to B! (H- he doesn't have a blog. Get info from D, M, or A.)

I switched Universities and majors. It is a huge adjustment. I am still working out the kinks, but i am confident it will all work out. Right now, i am trying to figure out next semester's schedule. Now that is difficult. I am also trying to decide if i wouldn't rather through in the Liberal Arts towel and go to pastry school.


Tell me what your dream job is!

Sweater Season

Sweater season is my favorite. Mostly because i look amazing in sweaters. This year, however, Sweater Season isn't as fun because my favorite green sweater died in the middle. Now i am looking for a replacement favorite sweater. So far, nothing has come close. How could anything live up to the perfect weight, fit, and shade of green masterpiece?



I don't know if you are watching Studio 60, but if you are, this monday Bradley Whitford brought us the true display of sweater season spirit: the Black Sweater. Guys, listen up! You have an automatic 'In' with all girls if you take advantage of the Black Sweater. Below are some options. Mad props to JCrew for being our unfailing source of perfect sweaters.



Do you have a favorite sweater?

Top 5 All-Time Best Memories of Halloween!

5. Mom's Halloween Cape! It glowed in the dark and was totally pimp! It will be missed!

4. Neewollah! Thanks for the memories SCCSM! Cold, smoky Hot Dogs, Poorly Haunted Hayrides, and the Pumpkin Catapult!

3. The A-tee Halloween, a.k.a, the Best Halloween Ever! I even remember the candy haul being good that year.

2. The Halloween spelling pictures. We would have to trace coloring book pictures of cats and pumpkins with our spelling words until the picture was complete!
Torture at the time, but I kind of miss them.

1. 5th grade Multiplication! The spooky house with the 12 times tables in the attic... Those bats were my enemies! It took me weeks to get through the second floor 7s and 9s. That remains the spookiest house I know!

Halloween also officially kicks of the Holiday pomp! I hereby begin the Super-month of Necuary, sometimes known as Thanksmas Year.

Semester-By-Numbers

There are sixty days left in the semester! It is going to fly by! Now for the Semester-By-Number approach to things. My applications for next semester are due in two weeks, and I am not sure where I am going. The play opens in three weeks, and I haven't even started on the costumes yet, but I have wanted to. Two of my papers are due in four weeks; I have started on those. Thanksgiving is in five weeks. In six weeks, I get to see my grandparents for the first time in six months. In seven weeks I die of excitement and exhaustion, and in eight weeks I take five finals and move out of Hall-Roland for good.

When you go through it in numerical order, picking everything apart, the semester flies by. When you look at the big picture, it still all adds up to sixty days.

Why what ever are you talking about?!?

So i am pretty sure this is a post of joy! It is about time! I have exciting news! The new amazingly beautiful, awesomely wonderful coffee shop, Besso's, opened in town. I have loged about 4 hours of table time in two days. It is so pretty: european themed, with wine cask tables, amazing home-roasted coffee, imported Junior's Cheesecake from NYC, and pastries (soon to come)! It has brick walls, a giant Parissian train station clock, and copper accents! I will post pictures soon.

Second piece of great news: Freed has the CW!!! We never had the WB, so i was convinced we didn't have the CW. tonight a girl was watching America's Next Top Model in the lobby, and i got very excited! So now i have to go back and find the new gilmore episodes online to catch up, but YAY for gilmore!!!

So this is my happy post. Other things have made me hapy later, but these two are very important to school life.

It is Wednesday

and today I am mad. I think I am just mad at the world, although it
may just be Henderson. I am not really sure why. I looked cute, stayed
awake in my classes, and actually enjoyed chapel, but i am just
generally pissed at the sight of this place. It is definitely a "dark
art kid" kind of day.
At least being a dark art kid explains my general displeasure with
this campus. Our Freed Magazine, Seasons, came out today. On the cover
was a girl who graduated, and inside was a story about the 60 Million
dollars milton sewell has raised for FHU. I just wonder where the 60
mil went to. I haven't seen a dime. The campus still looks like a hog
wallor. The one building that is actually costing us money is not
worth 60 mil, so i am just really unsure of where it is going to.
Probably the cabbages and possies they plant every two months. If so,
those mexicans are getting paid a lot more than they deserve.

People are irritating, too. even people i can tollerate are getting on
my nerves. They just don't know when to stop. They are those people
that think they can say anything to anyone, but in reality they can't.
I decided at lunch today, during my group's almost ritual-like rant,
that Freed is like Neverland. People come here or are sent here never
to grow up. There are people in their mid tweneties who act sixteen.
They spend every year trying to achieve the ultimate goal of finding a
wife by chasing freshman tail. keep in mind, Now the freshman, greener
than ever thanks to society's lack of upbringing, are about 10 years
younger than their immature persuers. Constant Immaturity is
encouraged. The Ideal is to stay in the status quo, because what can
be wrong with that.
It never changes and will always exist, to spite the efforts of those
who could make a difference. Everyone is the same. Even those who try
to be different fit into a category. Almost everyone is fake, and will
continue to be that way as long as they are here. They insist on
students having Pride in where they go, but where is that pride coming
from? It cannot come from our campus or our leaders. There isn't
enough self-esteem in the world to fix the social issues on this
campus.

Man, this place is bad!

Marc kidnapped me this weekend and took me home. I think this pic sums up everything!

My List

My Must Watch TV movie list just got a little longer.

I realized, after 3 viewings of both, BEACHES and WORKING GIRL have to be added to the list. Thanks to my limmited channels, and these two movies frequenting WE network, i have become hooked.

Tell me i am crazy!

Seriously??

So Freed has reached a new low. UPC, our actvities board, is now sponsoring Speed Dating.


Yea, I can't believe it either.

For My Sister

For my codependent sister, whom I love. I am on the right and she is on the left.

Love You Amy!
