texts from my bestie

Sammy: What's the worst that can happen again? I REMEMBER IT BEING really funny but I canMt remember what it was. Ooops, caps lick.

t shirt

I just saw a boy wearing a "Curves" (the women's fitness gym) t-shirt.

It is purple.

He's sitting to the side of me in the lib now, or i would try to surreptitiously take a cell phone picture.

sunday

Hmmmm, what to say about today...

I saw Diana, that was good.
Saw Shawn/Sean and got asked if I was their girlfriend (apt 44 was concerned--I didn't ask them which boy they were inquiring about).
Went to Nicole's and saw Sammy and John and Bryce and Nicole and Katie and Amanda and Jimmy and Jeff (and yes I am disregarding all grammar rules, thank you very much).
Ward prayer
Went on a short walk (with a buddy)
and now I'm going to bed.

love,
Betsy

work work work

I don't know what it is with the titles being repetitious verbs, but that's just how I feel. So naturally, I worked a lot today. It was great. I listened to a conference talk, and then my "The Rocket Summer" channel on pandora for quite a while, and then I think I moved to rascal flatts. I don't understand my music shifts either, don't ask me to explain them. But then I made a youtube playlist of the 1996 'Romeo and Juliet," I think it's directed by Baz Luhrman? With Clare Danes and Leonardo Dicaprio. I can't say that I was overly impressed with the acting, but I do remember realizing what an amazingly postmodern movie it was. I mean, I think you would have to learn about postmodernism in order to really understand it. If I didn't know about postmodernism, I wouldn't get it.

After it was done I didn't really feel like listening to peppy music anymore, I mean, hello, it's a tragedy. It's one of those works of art that changes you after you view it I think. But let me not wax philisophical. Also, I noticed some really funny lines in the movie that I had forgotten about:
"Affliction is enamored of thine parts and thou art wedded to calamity"--the priest to romeo after he is banished.

I really think I'm going to use that one sometime.

break break break

So today I took the first legitimate break in I don't know how long. I got home, had a snack and then felt very strange, because nothing was due imminently. Naturally I decided to go hang with pals, because that's what I do, and I was much surprised/pleased by seeing my friend Alisha over at Shawn's apartment!!! We actually ended up going out to eat (Noodles and Co.) and then hitting up Barnes and Noble which was great.

I'm sorry I haven't blogged in forever. There are a few experiences I'd like to type up and share with the world, but just funny little things, not big things. Like today I realized I dance with the vacuum at the MTC. Not really 'with' of course, because I am vacuuming, but I was listening to "Kiss the Girl" (that's right, you wish you had my work playlist of Disney classics) and after about the third chorus (I think I felt like spinning in place) I realized I was dancing along with the music. Like, making my steps coincide with the beat. I bed they don't see action like that in the MTC lobby much. Good thing it was 6am, that's all I have to say. I need to go dancing.

Also, my pick for American Idol? Totally Anoop, baby. I'm a fan. He could sing me to sleep any day (in a good way).

ps I miss you Marae!!!!
