Ramblerambleramble
Today was a good day.
(I admittedly had a cranky moment, but I, like a small child, get cranky at hunger.)
I had a delicious Cobb sandwich at Ville Bella. This cafe across from campus that makes me want to open a cafe.
Actually, I went to Great Harvest Bread fairly recently, and they had Beatles music playing. Also it was a little tiny Harvest Bread, and I thought I would want to open a cafe that had Beatles playing all the time, but was NOT Beatle themed. On second thought, I think I might just have a Beatle Day. And maybe have some special that was named something Beatle-related.
If that plan fails I'll move to Scotland and live out my TRUE destiny.
Today also was my math final, which I actually think went pretty well. There were some nasty ones towards the end, but win some lose some, I s'pose. Especially since the first several pages I felt pretty confident on. Which it would be great if I could pass that, and have one more math class and then be done. I don't really know what I'll do college-career-life-wise. (oh yeah, cafe/scotland.)
I also went to the library this morning. I really have started to go a lot more often. Admittedly, I am just checking out cds and dvds. That makes me sort of ashamed. I really don't read enough. I just read the same book over and over. If you want something to read, The Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner is really good. JSYK.(even if it is far below my reading level...like, I first read it in junior high, haha)
I really need to get my car's stereo fixed. Speaking of which, can I just tell you I love my car? Well, I do.
The weekend went by way too fast. I think I need to stop rambling and start studying. I am almost positive that those two facts (not studying and rambling) are completely correlated.
Anyway, the rest of my day has consisted of my bath (I take too many. I think I might be slightly addicted to baths. I take them a lot), and shuffling cats in and out. Bossy little furballs.
I feel flabby, fat, and lazy. Blah. If you are still reading this, I applaud you. I am sure it wasn't easy. I promise not to do that again. (at least for a while).

Win some, lose some, fake some.
Bad news: Two finals that determine if I pass or not, an essay which I haven't started and is due next week. I am tired, sore, hungry, and stressed.
Good news: None of that really matters.
I am the decider. I will make my day go how I want it to go. I am going to decide that it is a good day. Internal locus of control. Not external.
Many mistake this as being mature or wise or impressive, or whatnot. But really I am just in a good mood and am saying all of that. If I were not in a good mood I would probably not even bother with that crap, and sulk the day away.
In other news, how many bands have something with The Great Escape in it?
We Are Scientists have a song called The Great Escape. Boys Like Girls (I am sort of embarrassed I know that.)have a song, or maybe album (?). And then today I am watching YouTube videos from the late eighties (possibly early nineties) and this band Blur has an album called The Great Escape.
Speaking of Blur, here's a little trivia for you, which won't be as cool, because it doesn't relate/noonereadsthisanyway. Graham Coxon, formerly of Blur (And apparently they are reuniting) worked on Peter Doherty's solo album, which is funny because I heard of Graham Coxon a long time ago, and then at my Uncle's he was pointing to some girl in a year book that was really cool because she was all into Blur waaaay before they got big. But what's cool about him being on Peter Doherty's solo album is that Peter was in The Libertines, which I recently got all obsessed over. AND the other day I was looking up unique celebrity baby names, and Shannyn Sossamon (she was the girl in A Knight's Tale) named her baby Audio Science. (Which as far as crazy baby names, that takes the cake. Not because it's the craziest, but because it's the coolest). And then! I saw that some song that Graham Coxon wrote called Spectacular, was written after he saw a picture of her. Crazy, no?
So, see? A bunch of stuff that I don't think anyone would be excited over, except me. But that's okay, because this is MY blog after all.

These are a few of my favorite things!
Ah, a new day, a new blog. Hopefully I will not neglect this blog, as I have with basically every other self-written chronicle. I feel that sometimes I try too hard to make things work. I have an image in my mind of what I want it to be, and somehow I cannot transfer that emotion or thought into anything material, even if it is just words on a screen. Or lead or clay or paint. I don't like that confined feeling of knowing that I will never be able to hold onto that emotion or remember it, outside of my own brain. I suppose, however, that emotions and thoughts are abstract enough that getting something material out of it would take a real artist. And that is something that I definitely am not. Ah well. This is starting my blog rather angsty. Which is ironic since my title does not match the body of this, even though I wrote the title before I wrote any of this.
I think I'll end with saying that I am doing a paper on the "Evils of Disney" (I actually really love Disney, but there are some things that I think they should work on, like say body image for young girls.) Aaanyway, I found these images of REAL evils of Disney (princesses). It made me happy.
