haha sorry Alisha. Not talking about boys here. Basically, I'm too excited about Halloween to think about anything else.
I seriously haven't been this excited about a halloween costume since preschool when I was Jasmine and wore my costume basically the whole week leading up to Halloween.
I want to do that again. But I'm older and have more restraint... So I'll cut it down to trying it on about once a day until then. Especially once I dye my hair.
hah I don't even have plans yet. But hopefully I will.
I also have a very busy week, which is super-lame.
Oh well.
Hopefully Alisha is as excited about her awesome costume as I am, and we will post pictures! yes!? yes!
The end!!

At last.
A topic I think both Kelly and I can mutually discuss. A topic that's actually very relevant in both our lives.
BOYS.
Not even men, no. I don't think any I've been around can be given that honor yet. I'm hoping that they might someday. I think both Kelly and I are in romantic places adequately labeled "meh." Not that there's nothing going on, but just-meh! Maybe that's not true, but it's frustrated me to the point of exhaustion, so the only way to respond is "meh."
So. Being free of my long relationship did something really good for me. Don't know exactly what, but I was always in such a happy place! Everything was awesome! Now, a mere three months, one tipsy perception, many hormones, lots of indecision, and multitudes of hypocrisy later, I'm fighting to find happiness in the places I did before. When I was newly single, it was incredibly easy to think simply. As in, if you love someone-be together; if you know (even deep down) that you don't-don't be together. I'm not going to throw that away, because it is a core truth that you can't forget. But in my situation, I'm attracted to a person who I love talking to, but whose entire being I am completely repelled by. Ultimately, I had to come to my senses and say ATTRACTION IS NOT ENOUGH. But it doesn't mean it left matters that simple. Especially since this happens to be a very proud and determined person.
But it's okay because I'm darn-tootin more stubborn than he is. And my course of action is easy-no no no.
I hope Kelly will explain her situation so I can comment on it next time. I feel like introducing it for her would be a bad idea, as much as I would like to talk about it now.
Postscript: No worries about finding simple pleasures. The grass is still green, Christmas is still coming, and horrible repugnant bitch is still an AWESOME phrase.

Politics?
Am I allowed to do this? It isn't really politics... It's economics. And I'm pretty sure we can have good conversations about this.
We watched this today in my TCom 204 class. I didn't even know the President was even speaking last night, and if I had known, I can't say I would have watched it... but I sure am glad I did. I think you all should watch it. Unfortunately I can't get the video to go here, so here's the link.
from CNN.com: Bush Economic Address
Because of the awesome trip to Europe this summer I'm planning, I've been keeping close watch on the value of the dollar. And it's been falling fast. Hopefully that's nothing new to you.
Did you watch the video? It's only 12 minutes. And I'm not really a fan of Bush, but I enjoyed this.
So if you didn't watch it you should. Right now.
Basically It was easy for banks to give loans, so they did. People who couldn't afford houses bought them anyways because, hey, they can get a loan for it! because people paying interest on loans is how banks make money. But in the long run they got screwed because those people couldn't pay back the loans blahblahblah. Those people tried to sell their houses, but no one could buy them, the price of houses went down drastically. Now all the banks are about to die, as well as businesses. Everything's just pretty awful. So Bush wants to take $700 billion of our taxes ($700,000,000,000!) and buy the bonds that no one else can buy. This will help the banks and businesses get back on their feet. However they'll also basically be pumping more money into the economy. Can we say inflation?
Yes, but if taxes are raised, then it will be okay... Okay in that the value of the dollar won't go down. But you know, taxes will be higher, and nobody wants to do that. But it looks like its necessary. I dunno, maybe there's another way?
You know things are bad when Bush, a republican, wants to step in and fix things with the economy. If people started getting scared, and took their money out of banks, and the stock market, there's a very good chance we could go into another depression.
Anyways, this next video isn't as long, and sorry its such awful quality, but here's a lesson America needs to learn.
Don't buy stuff you can't afford:
You know what... while I'm at it:
Don't shop at Wal-Mart (http://walmartwatch.com/) It's DESTROYING THE WORLD. FOR REAL. heh
Um a fence on the Mexican border is an awful idea.
and we need to get rid of NAFTA.
...just some ideas.

SNL-Debt Consolidation (w/Steve Martin)
So in other words, it looks like Mary and I picked an awful time to go to Europe... and Alisha, you picked a bad time to go to London.
But who cares! It'll be awesome.

Mary's listening to Christmas music already.
And I'm allowing it.
This is a pointless post but, it has to be made because I love this postsecret postcard and I want everyone to see it.

Two Great Musicians?
Or two greatest musicians?
Anyways.
Here's a random thought I had while wearing my Andrew Bird shirt today.
Just imagine:
Andrew Bird, and Regina Spektor. What if they made a baby. Together.
awwwwwww, right?
Possibly the cutest most talented little human being to walk the planet! For real! Best, sweetest, most brilliant, talented musical genius ever!
I know this is probably very unlikely, but seriously... For the good of mankind, have sex you two!

Dweeedopdweedooo.
Aw, Kelly and her roommate. It's too bad there aren't more people like that at my school. Maybe it's because I'm not good at going out and meeting people that I haven't found a perfect niche yet. You know, those people that just seem like you. Though I doubt I'll find many people as insecure as I am, there will at least be some people who have the same interests. Or can introduce me to potential interests. Like Katie, who showed me riceboy. Oh and it's a little strange how similar Katie and Kelly are. (:
Soooo my roommate, Hailey, is a girl I've known since junior high. Oh, we even dated the same guy! Course she dated him in junior high and I dated him up till a few months ago. And it was such a traumatic break up too...Okay. Just kidding. Although I admit drama/gossip is a very guilty very minor pleasure of mine, it was possibly the smoothest and most civil split ever. Moving on! Hailey and I are such polar opposites, it's funny how great we get along as roommates. Everyone thought we'd kill each other. :P Jokes on you! Instead we're painting wooden letters to put on our door and having a blast. Just goes to show how everything changes when you 1: get to college, and 2: live with someone.
So I really like books, especially literature. Unfortunately, I think I like reading it because it sounds good as much as actually liking it. Well, don't we all want to feel smart? Either way, Jane Eyre is the first classic I read, and I love it to pieces. Sincerely too. I was too young then to really think literature was "cool." Ah, naive youth! :D
Hehe so anyway. Then I read Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair which is a great book if you ever get around to reading it. Very witty, very satirical, and a great balance between smart and entertaining. It's like mixing the best of Jane Eyre, Twilight, and the Screwtape Letters. Haha okay so that's not going to be right but it IS well written, capturing/entertaining, and brilliantly satirical. Plus, it cemented my love for Jane Eyre.
So Katie started The Eyre Affair last year, but hadn't read Jane Eyre. She put The Eyre Affair on hold to read Jane Eyre and finished it recently, so today we were talking about it. We came to the conclusion that we loved it, but had no idea why. It's a story I just wanted to keep reading and remains one that I reread over and over. But who knows why? It's kind of depressing sometimes and damn odd other times. And this dark chocolate I'm eating is way too addicting for my good.
Ugh this is so dumb. I hate this entry already. Kelly's is way more amusing. Only reason I'm writing this is to answer to hers so that our blog is more coherent. I'm beginning to think it'd be better as incoherent and with independent entries than half assed related entries. Hrm, we'll take this into account.
Maybe not using big words or big sentences will help. Sorry, it's just all this time with Peter Anderson, my brilliant Nigerian lit professor. I'm so terrified I won't write a good paper that I'm going around thinking in essay-nese all the time!
THIS IS SUCH A LONG ENTRY. I'M PUTTING THIS LINE IN CAPS TO MAKE IT LOOK BROKEN UP.
Haha I think I'm a little delerious right now. this entry is not making any sense, is not being funny or entertaining, and i've decided to stop capitalizing. eventually the apostrophe's will too. maybe even the punctuation.
aha, a topic i can definitely write on. so i'm going to london this january for a london theatre class (doesn't my school rock??). i'm also going to find an attractive, British (it needed to be capitalized) boy. or love interest. or husband. i'm not sure if kelly or i decided first that we were marrying across the seas, but my chance is coming first. unfortunately it's only three weeks while kelly is going across europe for a month next year, without me i might add.
personally, accents give guys points already. in order of favorite to least favorite the best accents are-british, irish & french (tied), australian, and italian. i dunno about others. russian is a bit weird, i'm biased to spanish because i'm in texas, and german sometimes is scary.
well, i think this entries over. i'll go distract myself some more. mmm....beautiful british guys....
