BLAHHH

And now, simply for the sake of posting, a list of things that currently suck:

1. Teaching Summer School
2. The Real World: Austin
3. Houseguests with dogs that eat your book
4. 5 straight days of rain
5. Student Loan Payments
6. Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous
7. Angelina having Brad's baby
8. Jennifer Wilbanks
9. The Lexington/Richland Five School Board
10. Sellers on Amazon.com who don't send you your order

just curious

this is sort of difficult lately.

there's no big news here.

but still, i've been wondering, on Friends, all of the characters were from new york. they all grew up either in the city or on long island. they were all new yorkers.

but only joey had an accent.

trickier and trickier.

sometimes i wish i had gone to NYU. mostly, i wish this when i am watching reruns of felicity.

Wasting Away Again...

Taking classes to get things for my teaching certificate is no fun. I'm in one right now, and there are two things that are really sort of ruining the experience for me:

1) There's a woman who wears a flower in her hair. A real one, like she thinks she's in Margaritaville instead of sitting in a classroom at Irmo Middle School.

2) Some of the people think that my name is "Christina."

So you see, clearly, I am miserable. Who could put up with these things?

the forceful force

ok, so i've finally succumbed. i never thought that i would. i thought that i didn't care, that it wasn't important, that i wasn't interested. but, with all of the hype lately, try as i might, i couldn't stop myself from being sucked in. and today, i finally lost the battle.

i have ordered, all at once, the Star Wars Trilogy, Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

when the dvds arrive, i will sit and watch them all and catch up on the story. i haven't seen any of these movies since i was a kid, so i feel out of the loop lately, and that does not make me happy. once i've caught up, i will go see Revenge of the Sith. because by that time i will have found out what a "sith" is and why it needs revenge. and, when that dvd is released later this year, i will have no choice but to purchase it so that my set will be complete.

and by doing this i will satisfy my OCD, which appears to have focused itself on collecting things that come in sets. and i do feel better now, after having purchased the Star Wars saga, much in the same way that i felt more relaxed once i had collected all of John Grisham's novels, and all of Toni Morrison's novels, and all of the Harry Potter books and movies. i also am under obligation to purchase each season of Everwood and The King of Queens as they are released.

i keep telling myself that i get this stuff so that i'll have it, you know, for my children, so that they can enjoy the treasures of past times. however, i think that it's really because i can't help myself.

it could be worse though, you know.

at least i don't do crack.

there's always that to be proud of.
