oh saint marie.

My life as of late seems to have been consumed with papers, debates, assignments, plays, choirs, and general RA stuff.
The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood is playing tomorrow. If you like silly, childish, and cheesy shows you should come. It's only a dollar. You can go tomorrow or saturday. Friday is sold out.
But if you want something to do friday, you could go to the concert at 7pm. Many many choirs are singing! we're starting in the BJH and then moving to the gym where all the choirs will sing a few songs together! Crazy!
Also, monday night at 9 there's gonna be a huge kick-ass FIESTA at covenant hall! everyone's invited! There's gonna be snacks and eating contests and games and music. So come. if you want.

the calm is on the surface

I woke up this morning, and as I usually do when I first wake up, I tried to go through my mental checklist of what I have to do today. But I laid in bed for five minutes before I could even remember what day it was and what classes I had. It was scary! I need to get more sleep.

the storm on the tip of my tongue

Hip hop doesn't seem to be a big thing around here. In fact, I can't remember the last time I heard real hip hop. Like any genres of music you gotta sift through the shit to find the good shit, but there IS some good shit out there. Maybe its more rap that I like. I don't really know the difference between hip hop and rap. Either way, I have a lot of respect for people who can put words together in such a way that it not only gets their point across, but also uses clever play on words and has rhyme and rythm without sounding stupid. I've always loved rhymes. Plus, I like the agressive sound of it, or at least the confidence with which it is sung/said...

the day after yesterday. or the day before tomorrow?

I guess the ABC's get old after a while because no one seems to be reading my blog. or maybe my awsome poetry skills are too much for people to handle. ;) In all seriousness, though, I want to take a poetry class, but I can't because of class conflicts or being off-campus or something. I guess I'll just have to take shakespear instead. I like english classes, but I don't like writing papers. could be a problem... conflict of interests in the literal sense.

More later, but its lunch time now.

I'm hunting wabbits

In loving memory of winter

there is a fly flying in my room. he makes me happy. he whispers in my ear at night. and tells me spring is here. I shall name him Franky. Franky has inspired me to write about spring. but first things first. I think a little goodbye to winter would be appropriate. as a parting gift, I have written up what I like about winter in my new alphabet style.

Good things in winter are

Ability to see breath
Bubble baths
Coffee and hot chocolate
Donuts with cars in parking lots
Earmuffs
Fireplaces
Goofy snowmen with butt cracks and vices
Hot tubs
Ice skating
Jolly fat men with white beards
Knitting in a cozy place
Long underwear
Mittens
Naked trees that sparkle when they get frosty
Oatmeal
Puffy coats
Quiet ambience
Rosy cheeks
Snow and all activities associated with it
Tuques
Unearthly beauty of clean, fluffy, freshly fallen snow
Vests
Winter olympics
X-mas
Year end and beginning
Zamboni's

went to the porch to have a thought

Went to Jack and Jazz's wedding in Strawberry Point. That was by far the most fun I've ever had at a wedding. I went thrift store shopping and found some sweet cheap shirts. Had one of the biggest blonde moments of my life too... Amanda, Justine and I stayed the nights at a farm house way out on some back roads while the guys stayed at a hotel somewhere. So one night us girls drove Dane and Josh to their hotel and then we took Dane's car to our farm place. I drove. I drove all the way to the farm. I DROVE THE WHOLE FUCKING THIRTY MINUTE DRIVE TO THE FARM WITH THE PARK BREAK ON!! I felt awful, but Dane, being the great boy that he is, hid any anger he might have had and just laughed at me and made me feel better. thanks Dane!
Dane, Josh, Amanda, and I went snowboarding on tuesday in Mankato. My body hates me now. But snowboarding is now one of my favorite and most expensive things to do. I mostly stuck to the little hills... I tried some of the bigger little hills, which was fun, but decided it was best to master the easy hill and get more confident before trying the larger ones again.
I'm working a bit this break. I gotta get some money to pay off the rest of my semester. If I stop spending money from now on, I should do alright. :) (nervous laugher...)

things I want to do eventually at some point in time... in no particular order

- backpack in costa rica
- learn Italian
- live in Italy
- learn to cook food that tastes GOOD
- 60 hours of no sleep
- snowboard
- visit every continent
- learn the lyrics to songs I like and the ones I don't like
- see boston again
- ride a camel or an elephant or a buffalo
- be part of a mercy ship
- jump out of an airplane
- smoke pot
- learn to act (as in acting as in theater)
- become a poet
- be able to name all (or at least most) the countries of the world and know relatively where they are
- deep sea diving
- play bass or drums or both.. and actually learn to play a musical instrument well!
