All of a sudden...

Life.

It seems to roll in like a wave out of nowhere. One moment you are so removed from it and next thing you know it is tugging at your knees wanting you to join it in some kind of surreal dance.

I am hungry and annoyed.
I have been working on this skirt all day and I am finally to the zipper.  The zipper and I do not get along.  At all.  I just want the zipper to attach itself so that I can change the thread on the machine and start on another skirt.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!

Ah. Saint Patty's day.
So much of all the things I love.
Green, imported beer, corned beef, men, and the MUSIC!!

Of course there are some things about the day that are a little confusing...
Technically, it is a holiday to celebrate Irish heritage. (at least it is in the US)
So, why the tartan kilts? That is Scottish, my lad.  But I suppose that is the glory of it all! The Scottish and Irish cultures have been so mixed up in the US, we can barely tell them apart.

I suppose that nothing really matters other than the beer.

Green beer.

I really don't have much to time to post anything big today, sorry.

Today was B-E-A-U-TIFUL!  Finally, no-jacket weather, although there were still some clingers on. But most everybody was in shorts!

Went to a lovely speech today with my sorority.  It was all about sex! Yay! The speaker was River Huston, and she is one amazing lady.  She is like the culmination of fortune and tragedy combined.  I really encourage you to check out her website at ((http://www.riverhuston.com/)) and try to attend one of her lectures next year!

Right so, I have a bunch of stuff to get done!! Toots!

Friday?

Is it really? Yes? 

THANK GOD.

Well. 

Today, I finished my paper for Spanish this morning, and by morning I mean 2:00 AM. After that, I managed to lock my roommate out of our room, so I had to let her in at 4:00 AM. I panicked a little then, thinking I was late for work, and shortly there after realizing that I had another good hour of sleep before I had to wake up. Get to work, the girl I work with is not there. I sang to myself to keep awake, and all I can say is that I am glad that you can't hear much when you are swimming... 

Get back to my room and take a nap before my first class at 8:10 AM... I wake up at 10:30 AM. 

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!

Fastest change in my life. 

Cannot believe that I slept through my first two classes. ERG! All I can say is that I am glad that I printed my paper off when I finished it.  And that Spanish was my last class. ((at 10:30)) I was only ten minutes late. 

After that hectic morning, the afternoon has gone pretty well. :) Returned a pair of pants... (the reason for the last post) and paid my student fees... Haven't gone to the bank yet, but it is farther away than I am willing to bike. Thinking about the local bus thing... might give it a try.

Anyway; the moral of the story is to not ignore your alarm clock. You bought it for a reason. 

Here is a song.

Have a good Friday! I am going to go do crafts at my sorority!

NO PANTS FOR YOU!!

 

I seem to have met the Clothing Nazi and he has irrevocably decided that I will never find pants that fit.

Here are a few things about me:
- I have a "ba-donka-donk"
- My inseam is as long as most people's outseam.
- I have thunder-thighs

What this means is that I have long, shapely legs. That are apparently impossible to clothe.
I have two possible solutions.
1) Walk around in my scanties
2) Bring casual skirts back into style.


So here begins my mission to find casual skirts that are long enough...
Still might be a challenge.

If all else fails, I will be starting my own clothing line. We shall see!!

I must be mental...

Or just REALLY slow on the uptake.

I have been watching Sherlock recently, and OMG amazing. I am most certainly "Sherlocked." However, while watching I couldn't shake the feeling that Dr. John Watson (Martin Freeman) was super familiar. Not being very affluent with names, I googled him.

Which is when I realized that this little cutie patootie:

Was the star in the movie that changed my teen years for the nerdier. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. 

That is right folks, Arthur Dent is Dr. John Haymitch Watson.  No wonder I thought he was the cutest thing ever.  

Of course it doesn't stop there. Martin Freeman, is currently in another leading role, playing BILBO BAGGINS in the Hobbit.  Proof? Here you go:

See?! There are Dwarves in the background!!

Dammit Martin. I only idolize creepy old men like Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder, and Sir Ian McKellan. Yet, I could never ask you to stop being such a great actor.  You fit each role you take perfectly, no one else could play a bumbling hitchhiking Brit or master the militaristic march of Watson like you do. I applaud you and thank you.  And I cannot wait to see your performance as Bilbo on his High Adventure.
