My TV is gone. My daddy came and took it away today. I'll get it back. But for tonight, I'm here in my dorm room, and my TV is 45 minutes away. In Mallory's world, that is NOT cool. At least, not when there's also no one around to distract me. Luckily, my mommy sent me her laptop (mine's still not working right) to play with tonight so I'm not TOO bored. :-) She's so thoughtful!
My room is so depressing. All the stuff is off the walls, and all my books and movies are gone. All I have left is The Da Vinci Code, my Spanish dictionary, and a bunch of National Geographics that I'm not sure if I want to keep. Ooh, I just remembered that mom's computer has a DVD player, and I still have 4 seasons of Stargate here with me! And we know what Mallory will be doing at 3:00 this morning...
Or maybe since I have the computer, I'll do a little writing. For those of you who don't know, I do a little creative writing sometimes. No, I don't usually let people read it. Well, I do, but it's posted on the internet under a different username so that even if you happen to stumble upon it (which you probably won't), you won't know it's mine. I'm very protective of my writing because it's my imagination on paper, and that's just not something I want to broadcast to everyone. Plus, you probably wouldn't like it anyway. :-)
I do love journals, though. I'm trying to decide if I want to buy a new one for my Chile trip. I probably will anyway, regardless of whether I need it or not. I just love books. The feel, the smell, the look of words on paper.
AHHHH!!!! My friend Tara just called me. She got engaged today!!!! I'm excited for her! But at the same time, this is getting frustrating. So many people my age are seriously dating someone, engaged, or already married. It's not fair. When my guy finally gets here, he better be just freaking fabulous!
Someone must be holding the elevator door open, because it's making that distant beeping noise again. I hate that noise. I closed my door.
There's this book I want, but I can only find it in hardback. Usually I prefer hardback books, but this one I really only wanted in paperback. Oh well, I guess I'll have to decide if I want to fork over the few extra bucks for the hardback or wait and see if it comes out in paperback. Decisions, decisions...
I don't want to do the room check-out for my hall. I'm sick of forms. I'm tired of being the RA. Good thing I'm not gonna be one next year then, I guess. Seriously, aside from losing the free housing, I'm perfectly happy with my decision not to RA again next year. I think it's gonna make me a little freer from stress, and a little less cynical since I won't have to deal with all the forms. I hate forms.
I watched a guy's eye pop out of its socket today. On TV. The "House" season finale. I think I'd have passed out or thrown up if I actually saw it in person. That's just not right. I don't even like that show; the guy's annoying as crap. But it was on, and it was about the only thing on. And as gross as it was, the eye thing WAS kinda cool...in a really gross way.
I think I'm tired of typing for now. I'll get back to you when the boredom kicks back in again. Have a pleasant evening!
