Stolen idea...

My most relevant song lyrics as of late:

Oh!- Eric Hutchinson:
and I'm never sure what I'm living for but it's always on my mind

Give it up- The Format
Well i made my way back down to the Valley, right on past 83rd street that's where we once belonged. But I'm gone I swear I'm long gone. So give it up, throw your hats in the air... Something tells me that you're too scared to go.

Road Trippin'- Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Road trippin' with my two favorite allies
Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies
It's time to leave this town
It's time to steal away
Let's go get lost
Anywhere in the U.S.A.
Let's go get lost Let's go get lost

Break the Sky- The Hush Sound
Why do I need anyone else when I can break the sky myself?

You've Got a Friend- James Taylor
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am I'll come running.

Don't stop me now- Queen
Don't stop me now cause I'm having a good time and I don't want to stop at all.

*Fuck her Gently- Tenacious D
You don't always have to fuck her hard
In fact sometimes that's not right to do
Sometimes you've got to make some love
And fuckin' give her some smooches too

*= these lyrics aren't relevant to my life in any way shape or form except that my AB group and I sang them at the top of our lungs countless times during our trip.


---------------------------------


So...that list was completely unsatisfying to me. It's time for a new list. These are VERY relevant-to-my-life topics that I might write about now if I were any kind of poet (which I am not).

-People of faith do not have a monopoly on morality.
-I'm really sad/scared of leaving good friends. I'm really looking forward to leaving bad ones.
-How surprising it is that it doesn't always take a long time to create a strong friendship and how most of my best were formed almost instantly.
-Environmentalism is freakin' amazing.
-I don't feel like I always act like the person I've grown to be when I'm around old friends.
-How I'm scared of being stuck in Brooklyn because I'm terrified of entering a period of hibernation in which I won't grow, learn or experience any new things.
-How I'm terrified that I'm daydreaming about the future too much instead of taking enough action or risks.
-The irony of how my accomplishments that I am most proud of are the ones that I don't get congratulated for.

Completely unrelated, for the first time. I'm starting to get excited about graduating. I'm so excited to be done with schoolwork!

Lists

Tonight I sat down with
5 Englishmen/women,
a French homme
an Irish lass and
5 other Americans to eat:

a 19 lb turkey
potato and leak soup
two kinds of stuffing
two kinds of squash
10 lbs of mashed potatoes
corn bread (with optional chocolate sauce on top)
French bread muffins
chocolate cake
pumpkin pie
and apple pie.

We said we were thankful for
orgasms
vaginas
Olivia's beauty
and Caitlin's breasts.

I have
13 days
2 term papers
1 presentation
4 lectures
3 discussion sessions
4 final exams
one more AB adventure
and one walk across a stage
Until I'm finished with my undergraduate career.

I have
1 week to get my first grad school application in
1 "personal statement" that feels impossible to write
And 0 copies of my JCC transcripts. (Damn them!)

I also have
8 months of my life that I don't know what to do with and
0 solid leads of what I should do with it.

"Hey Facebook, Hands Off My Self-Esteem!"

I did this too.

Amazing.

I had chills on the night of Nov. 4th, and as I was jumping up and down with Patty and Wes, all I kept thinking was how I was going to remember when Obama was elected president for the rest of my life.



So amazing.

Reason #72 why I love David Sedaris

"I look at these people and can’t quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention?

To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?”

To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked."

-David Sedaris on undecided voters

Also, behold the adorableness:

I am so damn excited for the election results tomorrow.

My vagina and I completly agree.

I love this blog post.
And I especially love her edited section.

Like water flowing down a hill

Unlike many of the other primer blog posts I have browsed through, I have no reason to explain why I'm making another blog other than that I want one. Which is reason enough.

The url comes from one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite books:

"We lead our lives like water flowing down a hill, going more or less in one direction until we splash into something that forces us to find a new course."

I've thought that this image depicts my young adult years pretty accurately...I'm graduating from GVSU in December and although I have a general idea(s) of which direction I'd like my life to go, I'm expecting to run into a few obstacles which will force me to make my own path.


This is my old blog that I began writing when I was beginning my senior year of high school.
