shameless plugs

I hate them.  I love them.  (visit danegeld.org!)

My bff Justin's brother Cory is cool.  He's also cousin Cam's bff.  For those of you who wouldn't have seen this on the book face (hey, sisters), Cory is in a competition for a Super Bowl commercial for Doritos.  If you watch it, he gets votes and it may be on tv!  If it doesn't come up, search for "The Woodchipper (Alt)" in the gallery.

tuesday's thoughts

First of all, let me just say that I do not approve of how scandalous Glee is, BUT Darren Criss is a BABE.  He may be gay in the show, but that does not change a thing.  His voice is gorgeous, his face is gorgeous, his huge eyebrows are gorgeous, and even though I adored the fro, his hair is gorgeous.  He makes Katy Perry look good.

Anyway, I had quite the interesting dream early this morning.  (Also, last week I dreamt I met Lauren's mom and she cut my hair.  Weird.)  In my dream I was at some school carnival thing, but it was in Florida at my old school.  So, I was walking around and some girl from here walked past me and was like, "Erin, there's a sushi booth over there, you should go get some."  I do love my sushi...  I went to get some and each ingredient of the roll was on a skewer.  When I noticed it was shrimp (uncooked shrimp), I asked if I could only get half a skewer, but the middle-age couple running the booth said no because they'd have an odd number of shrimp.  So, I took it and told them my mom would eat it.  Behind their booth was a huge pool that was really an ocean.  Or an ocean in a pool.  Kind of.  For some reason I went swimming with this guy (something to do with learning about sushi, maybe?) and towards the middle of the ocean pool I noticed little fishies swimming and nibbling.  I freaked out when I saw a larger one (because of that one time I swam with a shark), but the man assured me I was fine.  Then, we were at the edge of the ocean pool and and felt some pricks on my foot.  My leg was lifted up and there was an ALLIGATOR on my foot.  It never clamped down, so my foot was still intact, but I had to go to the hospital to get a treatment or something.  The point of all this is that, in my dream, the first thought I had was that I needed to blog about my alligator a.s.a.p.  When I woke up, I still thought that.  Until I realized my foot was as unscarred as ever.  

This is what the homestead looked like when I left for school this morning:

Most important things I learned this week:

1) I have a different schedule than the rest of the world

2) Cinnamon fixes everything

I really wish you could do college applications in person.  I mean, I love to write, but at this point an interview to talk myself up is sounding pretty good.  Maybe I just won't go to college.  Narf.

Night!

futile devices

Sometimes, I like giving advice too much.  I don't shove it people' faces, but there are times when I feel like my almost eighteen years has given me enough experience to share my opinion.

Sometimes, I don't know if I should be frustrated with myself, or others.

Sometimes, I'm jealous.

Sometimes, I'm ready for the weekend and for fresh starts.

Sometimes, Sufjan fixes everything.

love is all you need.

I've had a draft of my video blog sitting there for five days because it won't upload.  Boo.

All evening my jaw has been really tight and stiff.  Who knows why, but it's allowed me some fun searching for remedies.
1) ice cream
2) mint & chamomile tea (together, of course)

BTW, neither really worked.  Any suggestions besides sleep?

So I'm avoiding homework, as usual, and I go to the store to buy a toothbrush (because the one the dentist gave me hurts my gums; go figure), and I see the cutest thing in the whole world.

A man.

Yep, that's it.  

Narf.  So, I see this guy dressed up like he'd just come home from work, shirt un-tucked, and carrying a basket containing diapers and various other items.  I walk past the pharmacy and hear him ask a girl behind the counter, "and the... pore strips?  Where can I find those?"  She giggled and directed him right around the corner.  She even promised him that's where he'd find them.  I walked past that aisle on my way out and saw him examining different packages.  It was darling.

Now, I hate to be the one who always gets sentimental (because most of the time, I am the only one), but I loved that.  I'm excited for that.  

This week is end of term.  This week sucks.  Next week rocks.  That's just how it is, and I need to get used to that and just work.

It snowed today.  It came about halfway down the mountain and was gorgeous.

The dance was Saturday and it was a blast.  Justin and I are too cool.  This Saturday I'm having a Halloween party, just to break out my three strobe lights.  I love this time of year :)

i'm only productive when i procrastinate.

stay tuned: video blog coming soon!

this should be fun.
