Things!

I am in a good mood. Those come around sometime, you know. This especially, is very me. I’m feeling super inspired, and have periods like this a lot where I just want to do everything! Here’s a stream of consciousness post list thingy. Brice knows what I’m talking about, everyone else, just go along with it.

+ First of all, there was a bomb scare in my school’s library today. What? In the library? C’mon people… also, a very angry most certainly inebriated woman threatened to stab another woman’s family last night outside my window last night just for looking at her. Scottish people need therapy.

+ I got my first grade back yesterday and the only positive comment (in a whole page of writing) was “overall, some positive attempt.” It was from the teacher that says “emm” all the time. Emmmm… GO AWAY! Hah, at least I passed.

+ Went to McDonalds today. Shrug. Sometimes you need fast food. It was aight.

+ I WANT TO: (1) Run. Become a runner. Have that time where I can just go and listen to music and it energizes me for the day. Have to get over being extraordinarily out of shape though. (2) Along the same vein, go to kettlebell and cycling classes again at my gym. Those things are fun, and boy, do they kick your butt. (3) Sing at the top of my lungs in my car. I’ve missed this for some time. (4) Go to Richland County Public Library. It is huge and the best, and costs NOTHING! And when you’re in the mood for crappy chick lit, this is a plus. (5) Get a hammock for the perfect place in my backyard for one and read there during the summer. (6) Watch the hundreds of movies that we own that my parents and I have yet to watch. I don’t know why this is so hard for us. (7) FINALLY design a Threadless shirt. Ugghhh I wanna so bad. (8) Not watch too much TV this summer. I feel like it’s a trap, especially with DVR. Maybe we can play board games or something… (9) Eat American food. Firehouse, Monterrey’s, Fuddruckers, Za’s, Mellow Mushroom. The list goes on. But, it will be confined to the first week I’m home. After that, I will cook!!!! (10) Be a better saver. I’m thinking of doing the clothes abstinence thing again. I actually did alright for the 6 months I did it last time. I need to have a stronger discipline, and I think outlawing clothing purchases altogether might help me out. Maybe, I haven’t decided. (11) Kinda the same as #6, read all of my books that I own before I buy another one (besides the favorites, sequels coming out in August, etc. Those I’m fine with making an exception for) (12) Do more things that scare me. I’m thinking of joining the Mountaineering Club next semester, but it scares the hell out of me. Also thinking about joining Quidditch and rec softball. I don’t know! I’m afeared! But I shouldn’t be! What’s the worst that could happen?! (13) Need to start thinking about what I’m going to do after college. This is also terrifying. Grad school? Job? Suggestions???? (14) Make more books. I have all the supplies left over from my class, it’s just a matter of sitting down and making them. They make great gifts. (15) Be a nicer person. Sometimes I’m selfish. Sometimes I make quick judgments without thinking about the consequences. (16) Go to more concerts. Joshua Radin showed me that a good concert is just so worth it. I think I should stop. (anybody realize that this was a list within a list? I have a problem)

+ But seriously, I feel like running. Or biking. Oh man, I could so go for Virginia Creeper right now. Crap, why did I think of that? That would be amazing.

+ Been listening to an amazing few groups lately, over and over. Florence and the Machine, the Maccabees, Vampire Weekend, Mumford and Sons, Swell Season, Brandi Carlile, Joshua Radin, Paolo Nutini, Damien Rice. Love LOVE LOOOOVVVEEE. I kinda like it a little.

+ My room is clean! I love it when my room is clean! Why isn’t it clean more often!?

+ Andrew got me Breaking Dawn in PDF form today. I am so happy. Crappy chick lit, GO! Also reading Midnight Sun again. Sigh. I should write a book. By the way, Sunshine by Robin McKinley’s a pretty awesome vampire book that doesn’t suck. Don’t know why I just thought of it.

Alright, alright, I’m done. Sorry for the blog post spam largeness thing. I’m going to either read, fold laundry, or find some movie to watch online. I’ll take all three for 200, Alex.
