writing a paper that takes 3 days...

So I'm sitting here at the library, having just finished an essay about the novel Atonement by Ian McEwan.
I was sitting here earlier, unfinished with a man sitting next to me. He can be viewed here:

As I stood up to go get a dictionary or something like that, the kind older guy said:

"Done with your book report?"

Book Report? This is NOT a book report. This is an essay for an AP Literature class asking me to identify a foil in the novel I chose (Atonement, see above). Using the foil I chose, i.e. minor character with ideas or behaviors that conflict with my main character, figure out how it highlights the strengths or weaknesses of said main character...

shoot. that does sound like a book report. 

In this really, really quick-like-a-bunny blog...

I will tell you that I got a new camera and that I need to go sew an overskirt for my Renaissance Faire costume because that's where I'm going tomorrow.
Bristol Renaissance Faire.
Huzzah!
And I will take pictures and have a grand time and then I will blog tomorrow night about it.
And after that I will regale about my adventure last night.
'Twas interesting.
Much Love, Best Wishes!

Blogging more? Let's see how long this lasts...

Hello again.
So. I'm always cleaning my room. it's a long, long task. Half of the reason that it takes so long is that, as I clean, I decorate and I also abuse my netflix account. Which is how I managed to get through all the seasons of Torchwood and Bones and summer isn't even over yet.
Proof of the decorating comes to you in a picture of the new Chinese lanterns I bought online so that my room would have (minimally) better lighting:

Lovely, isn't it?
in addition to doing this, I also used all of those paper cranes that I had sitting around my room from the wedding and didn't have a heart to throw out, by linking them all together to form a chain:

This idea is not entirely unlike the other cranes hanging from my room either:

They are all so pretty.
Anyway, so as I was cleaning this old messy room of mine, I realized that I really drink a lot of Brisk Raspberry Iced Tea. It is apparent in the amount of empty bottles of it around my room. And I'm sure there are more in waste facilities around the state, as this is what I drink on road trips, as well. This doesn't even count my car. I'm sure there are SO many more in my car:

Safe to say that I have an addiction? I believe that would be a fair conclusion.

Hotel Paper Cranes

So, as mentioned before, I'm staying at a hotel in Dubuque IA, while looking at colleges.
In the bathroom of my room, I found a paper towel on which were written 10 creative things to do with the towel:

The last one said that I should try to make an origami swan. Well I have no idea how to do that, but I can make origami cranes, so I did that!

So I'm in Dubuque, IA right now looking at schools that I want to go to.

I really want to go to Loras Catholic College here. it's so pretty! Just look:

I really love this campus. It's so pretty and old and awesome. The only problem I have is that there doesn't seem to be a huge drama department. I mean they have productions, but even the auditorium is pretty small. 

You know what they say about big auditoriums?

I'm not gonna say larger audiences. 

Later we went to dinner at Applebee's for dinner and I had this amazing steak with bruschetta topping and shrimp, not to mention our amazing appetizer sampler thingy. 

I'm so full :)

The Fault in Our Stars. And The Reason I Don't Pre-order.

So John Green has to sign 2,000 books a day for about 75 days or sommat like that. That's because he promised that every pre-ordered book would be personally signed by him.
Well, as much as I want John to sign my book, I regret to say that I find the book would be worth less to me if he signed it in the pre-assembly stage than if I were to take it to a Nerdfighter gathering to be signed in person, as well as my copies of 'Looking for Alaska', 'Paper Towns', 'Abundance of Katherines', 'Will Grayson, Will Grayson', and my copies of Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman and the 'Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger (reason being for the last two is that they have specific meaning in two of John's books. Also, their true authors are deceased. Walt Whitman isn't in the position to sign my book.).
Also, I love bookstores. And I look forward to going into a bookstore in order to get the new book the day it comes out, rather than thanking the UPS guy who brings it to my door. In fact, while I get my book, I want to go to the Cafe at my Barnes & Noble and get a nice cup of coffee and start reading it right there.
Atmosphere is really important in my life. You should see my room. There are paper cranes hanging from the ceiling and a big Chinese lantern and everything.
But yeah. That's why I'm going to drive all the way to Barnes & Noble the day it comes out, even if there is a possibility that they might not have a copy left. Even though that would kill me.
I just don't pre-order books.
I stake out bookstores.

P.S. Happy Esther Day! I love...all of you :)
Follow me!

the Bad-Excuse Dragon left you a present...

So I have a new blog.
It's a Tumblr.
Does that make me a traitor?
Either way, I'll be blogging more from that more that I will from this. Which doesn't seem a hard feat based on the fact that I almost never blog on here.
But you know, maybe I can use the excuse that I don't have a very interesting life! I mean, what high school senior does? Or maybe I don't have anything to say about anything? What's to say? "Went to see the Green Lantern and bought a Coke Zero from the gas station. Raise the roof."? (name the reference and you get an imaginary prize!)
Alright. So my life isn't that un-interesting and I always have something to say...
Would you believe me if I said I was lazy?
Ok. I'm lazy.
And not just about writing. True, writing is important in having a blog, but there is something else more important that I am also too lazy to do.
Thinking. I mean, I do think....but coming up with ideas that are blog-worthy takes some serious planning skills. As well as an honest wish to do so. If you don't WANT to have a good, read-worthy blog, then you won't.
Well I shouldn't say that as a rule. I'm sure someone out there set out to make a really dumb blog but got a ton of peope to read it regularly. What I'm saying is that not wishing and attempting to make your blog good is probably not going to help you in making it big. Your own mother probably won't read it.
If I were to write a blog like that, my mother wouldn't. There is two reasons for that:
1. Said blog is probably absolute crap, &
2. My mother can barely work the computer.
So you should probably like what you do, if you are going to spend so much time doing it.
Hey, that sounds like a life lesson about college and careers and such! Gee, this has been a Super-Fun time!
*que look of deathly sarcasm*

So I will now leave you my Tumblr.com url. please follow me there as well as here:

Au revoire!
