Why my mom is awesome:

Mom and I went on a date this afternoon. We do this. We have mom-daughter dates. Usually coffee, or lunch or something. This time we went to Target and did some shopping, and then stopped at the Caribou there.
I'd been kind of down all weekend because of stupid boy-related things, but of course I couldn't come right now and be like "booo! a boy has got me down!" because mom and I never really discussed boy things.

Anyway, we were talking, and the conversation drifted over to relationships, and she asked me if I felt bad that I'd never had one. I said yes. She asked me why.
I immediately launched into all my reasons. I go to an all-girls school. I don't do the bar/club/drunken party scene. I am a bit of a recluse.
Then mom says: "The correct answer is I just haven't found Mr. Right."" How great is my mom? That is sort of my hopeful theory, but I have been trying to be more realistic about relationships of late. Thanks mom, for renewing my optimism!!

Also, fun fact I learned about my parents over the weekend? They never actually got engaged. They just dated for a year, lived together for three and decided to get married. Called everyone up one day and said "hey guys! We're getting married! When can you come?"
My dad wore tweed. My mom wore a blue maid of honor-looking dress. They had carrot cake. Yay hippies!

My brain is slowly melting, and other things.

I just realized at 11:00 (I get off work at 11:30) that I have absolutely no clean underwear. Or clean pants. Guess who has to stay up an extra hour and a half to do laundry tonight?

I can't get a stupid certain boy out of my head, and I know I shouldn't get my hopes up about said stupid boy coming into town this weekend for Thanksgiving break, but I am. And I know I'll be inevitably disappointed. I wish Lauren was still in town. I wish Wednesday was here. I wish my emotions had an off-switch.
Also, it's entirely possible I won't even see said boy because my Thanksgiving is already planned out with lots of things (that are awesome) like seeing friends and eating food with family. So I really shouldn't worry. But I do.

I'm really hungry, but I'm pretty sure there is no food in our apartment. Shoot.

December book meme

These are the books I am supposed to read for December, according to my Goodreads to-read list:

D - Darcy and Elizabeth: Days and Nights at Pemberly -- Linda Berdoll
E - Eternals -- Neil Gaiman
C- Charmed Thirds - Megan McCafferty
E- Everyone Worth Knowing -- Lauren Weisberger
M- Mad Kestrel -- Misty Massey
B- Bad Girl: A Novel -- Michele Jaffe
E- The Execution Chanel -- Ken McLeod
R- Rainbow's End -- Vernor Vinge

Willl I get through all these? No. Probably not. But at least I have a place to start! ^_^
I am so full of memes today. That's what happens when you are BORED AT WORK.

From [info]pyro19 . I has 5 questions. if you want 5 questions, you just give me a little cuddle and I'll give you 5 questions of your very own!

1) What are you doing right now? What should you be doing? I am at work, answering these questions on LJ. I SHOULD be working. Like that's going to happen.
2) You can only watch 2 TV shows for the next year. What are they? Castle and Bones. But its a real toss up. Big Bang Theory may win out over Bones.
3) If you could visit any planet (in our solar system), which one would it be? Mars. When I was younger, I had a dream I was on Mars and there was life. To this day, I'm convinced there is life.
4) Do you ever miss your childhood? Um... ALL THE TIME. /sadface
5) In keeping with the food trend, describe the perfect pizza. That would be pepperoni and really good italian sausage with onions and mushrooms. But on white sauce.

Also... 3 days until Thanksgiving!! Horray!

"Where do I put this?" "Just shove it up there!" "That's what she said!"

Hello, F-listers. I haven't been too good about writing of late, and that's because I have so much damn homework to do (and addicting FB games to play) that I'm about to go crazy.
I skipped 2 classes this week just to catch up on sleep. Bad of me, I know, but God did I need it.

Thanksgiving break can't come fast enough! Good food! Family! Get to see friends again!
And?
Going to see New Moon. That's right, people. I am actually excited to see the new Twilight movie. And why have I dipped to such a low, you may ask?

The answer is this guy.

Photobucket

Look at those abs! That adorable face! That body that screams out " I want to be Ariel's boyfriend!" Or at least that's what I hear. Don't you guys hear it too?

Kara and Isabel and I are gonna see it probably Wendesday or so. I'm sure it'll be horrible, and Edward and Bella will annoy the crap out of me but LOOK AT JACOB WITH NO SHIRT ON!! I could stand to stare at that a lot more.
I wonder if a viewing of the Riff Trax Twilight might be in order before the movie? Any interest? Let me know.

Back to work, then the absolute hell that is homework.
Going home this weekend to work on my huge GSJ paper (due next week, haven't started yet. I know, I suck.) That, and so my mom can cook delicious food. Love!!

No matter how much I ignore it, my homework just won't go away.
I also have a brand new addiction to all of the lovely games Facebook has to offer.
Why won't this damn paper write itself? Why does my teacher have to be so picky about first drafts?
Accio thanksgiving break!

My goals for today:

1) Keeping putting in laundry (free laundry weekend!!)
2) Walk to Walgreens and pick up painter's tape, lunch and prescriptions
3) Put up cute pictures of Paris
4) Work on homework!!

This last one is especially important, since I only have like 4 weeks left of the semester and a WHOLE LOT TO DO between now and then.

Damnit.

I was really excited to have the apartment to myself this weekend. Kate and HEather are going home, and Sarah is, as usual, at Michael's.
Except now that I'm here all by myself, I'm really lonely.

This sucks.

My new hair

Photobucket


It's a lot shorter. And darker. And if you look close, there is blue in it too.
Don't mind the crappy photo. I was trying to look cool, and took it with my phone.
Also, it hasn't been washed in about a day, hence the grease. Sorry.

The Bad:
- I put off writing my English paper until 9:00 because of a haircut appointment and Buffy. And Kate's mini-party.
-I am so tired.
-I just started a new book that I want to read instead of writing my paper

The Good:
-My hair now has blue streaks in it.
-Its also the darkest its ever been.
-Its also pretty damn short

Someone feel like writing a paper for me? I'll bake you cookies!

Question of the day:

If you were to die tomorrow (which, please don't), what tattoo would you want me to get to symbolize you?
"I wouldn't want you to get one" is not an acceptable answer.

MLIA.

I was in Duram Hall this afternoon checking out some registration stuff when I ran into my student advisor Scott. He'd read my complain-y tweet about how i was sad I didn't get any Halloween candy since we didn't go trick-or-treating, and said he'd bring me some.
When I saw him in the hall he goes! "Oh! Ariel! I have candy for you!" and then in an evil voice, "Come to my office, little girl."

I have the coolest advisor EVER.
Thanks for the candy, Scott! It will be consumed during Buffy tonight.

wish i were 6

(no subject)

I realized today that I am sort of uncomfortable around men. Oh, not men in general. But like men my age. The only two I seem to be okay around are Max and Josh. Everyone else just freaks me out.
I think it's probably because I haven't had many experiences with men romantically, and I go to an all women's college where the only men I see are teachers and other girls' boyfriends in the cafeteria.

This bothers me, but I am not entirely sure what to do about it.

Halloween = fun times

-I didn't go trick-or-treating this year, sadly. But I went to Matt and Dave's party for a bit! Which was awesome. Heather and I went as twin time travelers, and our hair looked totally cute. I will try and post a pic once people start posting 'em on Facebook.

-I feel like I didn't eat near enough candy this year. I had like 4 pieces. I remember when I was younger I'd get a whole pillowcase full! Maybe I should take advantage of Wallgreen's cheap candy sale?

-I decided not to do NaNoWriMo this year. /tear I really want to, but I don't have the time. I might to an improvised NNWM during January when I have more time. We'll see.

-My back hurts. That is all.

Back to homework!

Writer's Block: Seeing stars

Which character from any film, television show, or book would you most like to take on a date and why?

Michael Moskovitz from the Princess Diaries series!! He is a nerd, he's in a band, and he's totally hot. And nice. And I want one.
It was a toss-up between him and Mal Reynolds from Firefly, but I'm gonna have to go with him. Someone else can take Mal.

I totally forgot that I was covering Jeanna's shift at work tonight, and ended up being 25 minutes late. Fuuuuuuuuuuuck. Here's hoping Belinda doesn't totally kill me tomorrow.
A whole bunch of things at work are down, so now there is nothing for me to do. Crap. And on top of it, I didn't get to see Castle tonight, and it's the episode where he dresses like Mal!! No spoilers people, I will have to watch tomorrow.

I so do not want to get up for Gaelic tomorrow. Screw it. And tutorial. I have to see how I did on my test. Hopefully well!!
And other than that, there is nothing interesting to report.

Oh, except I went to Old Chicago tonight with [info]hug_me_and_die  to try the Trick-or-Tini, which I thought Kels told me last year tasted like Candy Corn. Except that it didn't. It tasted like an orange julious with alcohol in it. And while Orange Julious's are delicious, they are not as good as candy corn. I was kind of disappointed. If anyone knows where I can get a candy corn flavored martini, please let me know! I may hug you.

challenge!

Hey happy people. As you may (or may not) have noticed, I just updated my icons.
I have 4 spots left, and I'm not feeling any of the ones I have stored over on Photobucket.
Your challenge is.... LEAVE ME AN ICON!!
Your favorite. Or just one you happen to particularly like. if I like it too, I will use it, and then every time I post with the icon, you can think "oh yeah! I totally gave her that one!"

Ready? Go!

Today has been so loong!! Class/tutorial, homework, class homework, work, now more homework. I am counting down the minutes until I can go to bed. I've been dying for a nap ALL DAY and have been very good about getting homework done instead. After this paper edit, I'll be all caught up on homework! Woot!

I spent 4 hours updating ILL at work today, but on the plus side I got a lot further into my Sorcerer's Stone audio book, which I love. Another hour of it is dedicated to tomorrow, when I WILL be working out after class. Even if I just walk around the track. My body will enter that gym and move! I've been slacking off cause I've been sick but I am feeling better-ish now so its time!

Also: Apparently you need 2 masters degrees to get a decent job as a librarian in any sort of an educational setting. At least 1 in any other setting, but 2 is encouraged. 2 MASTERS DEGREES?!? What the hell? Now I am DEFINITELY applying to the St. Kate's MLIS program.

Also also: I'm hungry. Someone teleport over some snacks please.

Love,
Ariel
