How do you find the answer....

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth...

Oh college, how you worry me.....

The day had begun hours ago, and classes had been attended. She stepped outside and felt the magic. The air was cool, but a certain morning dew still hung in the air. The sun was casting a gentle blanket over the world as the rest of the world awoke. The air was silent as it only is early in the morning. Others are beginning to stir and begin the proverbial rush of the day. But as everyone rushes around like a flock of pigeons, she stands and allows the moment to overtake her. There's nothing else in the world at that moment, just her and God. His beauty shown in the nature she loves so much. Reality hits and she continues on to her car. But before she unlocks the car she stops for a moment and smiles becuase just for a moment, all is okay in the world.... even though reality awaits around the next corner.

Maybe I should have some prompts or something to do. I've been pleasantly surprised by my lack of homework; however, this also worries me to an extent. I mean college is hard right? Maybe becuase of that 10 circle class I perceive everything else as easy... is that possible. It was the word on the street, but you know you're not supposed to pick up things off the ground...

On another note, I need a 3 hole punch... I seem to be the only one who does not own one. Maybe I'll stop by CA at some point and borrow one of theirs... WHILE I'm there, this is not a covert theft or a confession.

Three Hole Punch


STEPH
Check it


Now is the time to get serious.... and to THINK!


 I really do believe I'm doing great in college becuase so far I've aced everything, well yeah I have. Okay so it's only the second day of classes but hey, it's good to start on a high note....

*SIGH*

Well second day of classes, the ones that actually count AKA the difficult classes, was killer. Almost 20 hours a week has to be devoted to one class and the rest of the time goes to attending and studying for the other 3. Who knew? (It's A&P 101 if your wondering). I may have run out of shows right now to waste my time watching, which means I'll just have to wait until next week to to sufficiently fail college. Finished 2 hours of maybe like  6 I need to study until next A&P class. However, I do have other classes that I'm almost done studying for and have easier assignments so I think I should be good to go on Sunday.

Maybe I should write a paragraph.... hmmm

She steps out the door and the crisp air hits her face. As she deeply inhales the scent of fallen leaves hits her senses and the cool air hugs her tight. The setting sun colors the landscape a color perfectly suited for autumn and makes the trees glow like El Dorado. Darkness creeps across the field and a deep chill sets in and signals a fall night. She  leaves the cool darkness for the intense heat of flames licking fallen trees. Fallen marshmallows and lost hot dogs litter the fire where some were unlucky enough to lose their treasure. The crunch of smores are mere whispers compared to the roaring monster in front of her. As she gets too hot she walks back into the night and looks up at the heavens. The universe and galaxies are laid before her, and a shooting star flies on by. She takes and deep breath and for a moment, and only a moment, everything seems right in the world... dare she say, perfect.

Don't get excited, its just me trying to write again....

Her heart is pounding in her chest and hands shaking from the adrenaline. Rose quickly gathers herself together and steps out of her car. She grabs the bag that contains the necessary materials for this job. The begins to walk to what could possibly be the location that changes the rest of her life. Her feet pound on the pavement as she circles the building, making her way to the entrance. She breaths in deep and hesitates as she reaches for the handle. This is her first day and though she's confident she has what it takes, she still just can't quite shake the feeling. As Rose enters the building she scans the room, cataloging the 20 something girl studying in a chair and the 19 year old boy on the phone who seems thoroughly confused. Beginning to walk to the split in the hallway, Rose glances around to make sure she goes to the correct location. There it is. She carefully walks over and boldly walks into the room. She spots a familiar face and politely greets them, Rose then selects a seat in the front row and so begins her first day of college.
I thought I would try writing again as it was surprisingly more fun than I thought.
Can't wait for new Sherlock series, or NCIS or Lie to Me or pretty much every other show I watch when I should be studying.

2 followers.... thats all i haz.....

So all i have is two followers, though Steph can count for 5 with her insistence on me posting.

I start classes tomorrow and I would be lying if I said I wasn't slightly nervous. Though I have Dev Psych tomorrow which isn't that bad and overall is a interesting class, making the day (with addition of convocation) an easy one at that. I'm excited too to meet new people, hopefully with similar interests and IQs above room temp.

Watched Grosse Point Blank last night, its a good movie with enough humor, action, and love to make a generally good movie.

I also watched another episode of White Collar, and am awaiting the new NCIS season soon. I think Lie to Me is over or at least not airing new episodes right now...

I really miss New York and would LOVE to go again. Strange thing though is I never thought I would like it and almost didn't go. I could live in the Met or Museum of Natural History!



I really would like some new puzzles, *hint hint Steph* specifically ciphers, I've had a growing love of them and would like to see if I can develop that skill.

Oh yeah and this wouldn't be done until I mentioned Michael Wood. A British historian who always wears scarves (yes, even in mesoamerica and the middle east!)
I can't help but notice that I might be a little addicted to adding pictures to my posts. But it is my blog and there are only 2 people following it so... I guess it doesn't matter now does it?

Intense, suspenseful paragraph

The moment stood still as Shawn watched the bullet whizzed past him. His head turned just in time to watch as the bullet lodged in Connor's chest. The villain began his escape and in that second Shawn had to choose: get the bad guy or help his best friend. Feeling guilty for his hesitation, Shawn immediately ran to his childhood friend's side, calling 911 simultaneously. He looked down as a crimson stain that was blossoming from Connor's chest. Shawn didn't need a medical degree to know it was bad; he applied pressure to the wound like all the actors on TV did,  but blood continued to pour out. He heard the ambulance in the distance, and begged Connor to hold on. Connor looked at him with glazed eyes and murmured, "I'm sorry..." with his last breath. The EMTs arrived and began shouting orders at one another, and hurriedly placed Connor on a stretcher. But their effort were in vain. It's already too late.

well.... this is awkward....

Anyway haven't posted in a bit, and the last one was lacking in the word department. What's on my mind right now you may wonder, well I'll tell you because this is my blog, and I can do what I want. Plus your reading it so you must have some inclination into knowing whats going on in my life.

One, I still don't have a job and I don't know if I could keep one during the school year, studying comes first. There has to be a prejudice man, it has to be... probably my earrings. Forget salvation and divination, if you were the earrings you gonna burn in hell!


Two, I had a minor bike accident. Let's just say you can wreck and it will hurt even if you're under 1mph.


Three, I'm just SSOOOO tired. Of everything really. I mean I have like a gazillion years of school left. Tons of money to pay, no job to help.


Four, can rocks be in your car? Because if so, I'm taking our land lady down, this gravel road is killing my car.


Five, I still have my Sherlock Holmes obsession. however, on a new note, I am getting better at reading people and doing the little deduction thing.


Six, I really want to get better at drawing, specifically cartoonish people with a hint of realism. I need some exercises for that, MAMA Stone here I come.


Seven, I can't wait for the new NCIS comes back on.

Eight, Psych is pretty much in the running for the best show ever, in my eyes. It's always fun, fresh and exciting. The one liners are great and Shawn's silly quips will knock your socks off....
Nine, that horrific class from the 10th circle is over with! I got a 99.5 on my final and over 100% in the class... so yeah that is an A++=awesomeness....
Ten, I may actually have a fizzy water addiction... Is that weird?

Eleven, maybe someday I will get up enough courage to talk to chapstick boy.... but until then, i will continue to bother Steph with it...
Twelve, Some awesome songs that I've heard recently that you should listen to:Smile by Uncle Kracker, Stand by Rascal Flatts....
 Thirteen, I'm starting to wonder if I even fit in at SAU... Hopefully the summer is not a taste of things yet to come..... Otherwise I'm doomed and I'm going to peace outta there...

Fourteen, got some sweet new clothes at the mall, I'm loving em!

Gotta keep on keepin on.....

So I'm sitting here in the library finally done reading the last bit from teh textbook that I will ever have to read for a quiz in this class from the the 10th circle of hell. This class is ridiculous... And teh more I liked reading the chapter the worse I do on the quizes... anyway I think I will pass with an A... admittedly I should be studing but right now I think I will continue to goof off as it seems to be the best policy before tests. Or else I'll just burn out and freak out....

I miss highschool and all the fun that was had, even all that drama that was just so rad.

BTW if you ask around campus about this class people claim it's the hardest class on campus and from teh most difficult teacher ever. She's nice and loves what she does; however, I don't like the subject that much, I enjoy watching old Star Trek more than this class... well that's unfair, I enjoy going to the hospital for kidney stones more than this class. Renal failure might even be more fun.

So I've tried getting jobs everywhere that I can and I might even get a tutoring job, but I'm afraid I won't be that good. Ya know?

Checked out a book on the human anatomy for drawing and hope to look over it soon. I'm writing today really just so Steph will have something to read and be excited people blogged.

Internet is down at my house in addition to the TV and phones. Mom forgot to pay the bill, which isn't really her fault as they cut off service before you get the bill in the mail, so were going to have to do it on email or something because comcast really only wants your money and the regular post sty system is JANK!

No more orientations from the devil herself, except this one right before we start our falll session... Who wants to wake up and be somewhere at 8 AM and do something all day teh day before they start classes and pretty much teh rest of their life? NO ONE! there is promised breakfasts and surprises, so maybe that will be awesome(rose-colored glasses much?!).

Watched White Collar and Lie to Me in the library today and that was nice. Teacher still hasnt sent out grades on this last quiz, hope I aced if, because if I didn't I don't know what you can do to pass those things man.

Going to see my dad Friday, maybe eat at Sushi Nabi downtown where Cullen works. Maybe I can get my dad to eat out for lunch and me and Steph eat there too. Scott Pilgrim will be seen on Friday by me and Steph after our final exam of this terrible class.


On a scale of 1-10 on how I hate this class, one being I love it 10 being the opposite........ I'm at around 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

I just want to get an A and GET OUTTA THERE!

Once in a while.....

Once in a while I'll play the guitar,
since those cliche loves songs,
at the tops of my lungs.

Don't really believe it that silly idea,
that love conquers all and...
that you suddenly fall into it.

Once in a while I'll dream a little dream,
one of adventures in the woods,
Crossing rivers and streams.

To live in a house out in the boondocks,
to wake up to the noises of bird calls,
and the sun shining through the window.

Once in a while I'll draw a picture,
scribble it out, it wasn't just right,
the lines didn't interpret what I saw in my mind.

The pictures, oh, the pictures,
all stored in my head,
just waiting for me to draw them on my pad.

One in a while, maybe more if there's time, I like to read a book
Tales of adventures and impossible things,
deductions unseen and platues undiscovered.

Once in a while, I try to write a poem
They're never really good,
but once in a while, they hit home

Not reading the homework yet....

To avoid, still, reading the homework and study for the essay, I decided to write a blog.....

If you look at Steph's blog you'll know about last night's late night trip to waffle house.... we must have been there an extra 30 mins because of what I'm about to tell you.  Most of the time, at a restaurant the waiter picks up you credit card and takes your alloted money for the meal. So thats what we did. But the lady never took it. 20 minutes later after slowing nudging the credit card closer and closer to the kitchen, I had an epiphany. You have to take it to the cash register. Why I had forgotten this after the million times I've been there I don't know. This resulted in me and Steph laughing hysterically because we were just that stupid, well mainly me (this was Steph's 2nd time at waffle house).

So I stumbled upon a new Sherlock Holmes mini-series which just made my everything Holmes addiction worse. But it has a great actor playing Holmes and its really great. One of the directors in Steven Moffet. He now does Doctor Who and did a mini-series called Jekyll. He's great actually. The tv show is called Sherlock and its based off the stories, but set in modern times. It's actually very true to the books but with a refreshing twist.

Heres Holmes and Watson played by Benedict Cumberbatch(real name) and Martin Freeman.


One day.... one day......
PS this is not just because Sherlock Holmes played the violin. I lovevthe sound and would love to learn the instrument...


New season of NCIS starting on Sept 22... CAN'T WAIT!



New season starts next spring... but there's a Christmas special to tie one over...

I, too, shall do a 10 things I love about friday blog.....

Well Steph did it and so shall I! Plus my last post was sort on a sour note with angst possibly suffused into it.

1. Christian Kane
Great actor and singer... check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wlc_PlLd0bE

2.Fizzy water

There should be this and regular water, not need for other beverages

3. Pizza Hut Pizza

100% delicious. statistical likelihood of you surviving eating it? 0%
but its a great way to go...

4.Robert Downey Jr.

'nuff said.

5. Tori from Myth busters

As bad as it is, its hilarious when he gets hurt... which is quite often.

6. Craig Ferguson

Frankly he's awesome. I'm surprised I didn't add him sooner.

7. Lost Tapes

Go look them up. It's hilarious and cool at the same time. And somewhere deep down inside you become scared, even if it is lame.

8. Cats

Do I have to explain?

9. Wolves

They are cute-sy. Kinda calming in a sense. A vicious killing sense...

10. Kamasutra

Okay this one I am COMPLETELY kidding. It's an inside joke.
Basically some friends and I went to study at Barnes and Noble. We happened to sit next to some tiny books, "pocket books" in the truest sense. And while some were fine and dandy, most were about sex. This resulting in our tired brains going into stupid overdrive and we laughed till we cried.

There ya go
