You Should Be a Vampire for Halloween


( Read more... )

I just don't understand this weather -- Mother Nature's really trying to confuse us, as well as the plants and other animals (lol). It's been really nice recently: right now it's like almost 80 degrees or something (and sunny!), but tomorrow it's supposed to be like 40-something. WTF's up with that? And then it's supposed to snow later this week ( Read more... )

So, it's starting to warm up a little; it's been in the 40's this week, and seriously, that feels like a heat wave, compared to the well-below freezing temperatures we had before. And what's ironic is that I just received a package from my mom two days ago with some sweaters, and I really won't be able to wear them now (not that I'm upset, because ( Read more... )

This afternoon, I got like a only a few feet outside and I realized I'd dropped one of my gloves along the way; instead of going back to my room and running the risk of not being early--I always have to be early to class--I just put my hands in my pockets, but let me tell you, it was not fun at all! Let's just say I'm going to be really careful ( Read more... )

You know what really annoys me? (Aside from the obvious fact that it keeps snowing). The stupid dryer in this building doesn't work! Ugh!! And it's especially annoying, seeing as I had to wait like hours and hours until there was an available dryer--there are only 2 total in my dorm--and I didn't exactly want to touch someone else's clothes.

I hadn't seen snow in a REALLY long time--I mean, real snow, not the fact one-minute flurries I saw while I was home--until this morning, when I woke up and saw that beautiful white stuff falling from the sky. Mind you, I absolutely detest cold weather, but I have to admit that I was happy it snowed; I mean, if it's going to be this cold, it might ( Read more... )

Yesterday, my bro and I (well, mostly me) went shopping for Adopt-A-Family at the local neighborhood center; it's something we'd done several times in the past. However, this year, we only bought stuff for the kids, and we don't know anything about the parent(s) -- but anyways, it's basically a family who can't afford to buy present, so we do the ( Read more... )

Okay, so I went shopping tonight after dinner with my mom (and brother), and here's what I bought:

-Old Navy pink sweater scarf
-Old Navy striped long-sleeve polo
-Ann Taylor Loft sheer black ruffle top
-Ann Taylor Loft black capri pants

Tomorrow morning, I'm going to be on the other side of initiation for the first time. There was another one after mine last semester, but I couldn't go to it because it was on a Monday night (I had Wind Ensemble rehearsal), so I'm fairly new at this. I'm kind of worried about looking like an idiot and everything, because I've really only been to ( Read more... )
