You know what it's time for?
Exams! That’s right, exam season is on us like white on rice. I’m about three hours away from writing my accounting final exam. Don’t want to, as simple as that. But! After my five exams in five days, I get to reward myself with the Comic Expo! With the added whipped cream bonus of seeing my BFF because I haven’t seen her in so long that it’s actually really...
Giving Zero Fucks
All day, every day.
I’ve been done work super duper early in the mornings all week and I’ve been fighting really hard not to fall asleep when I get home at 3:30 in the morning. So, I’ve been watching various things and crocheting various items.
You know what the greatest feeling in the world is? When something lives up to the memories you had of it. Case in point: I loved Two...

Bad Life Decisions Come After 2 a.m.
So, if you watch How I Met Your Mother, you’ll recall that there was an episode dedicated to Ted learning the lesson that nothing good happens after 2 a.m. I’ve decided that’s true 95% of the time.
So, from now on, I will no longer respond to texts that come after 2 a.m., begging for my company, unless they come from Meghan or an actual boyfriend.
Friday evening, I went to a...

Resolution #15
So. First things first. Well, sort of. I’ve been listening to Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. If you haven’t read it, it’s amazeballs. It’s a geek fantasy book. And I don’t mean it takes place in a fantastical realm. It’s a geek’s fantasy book. Here’s the book info. It references a lot of different movies, music, games and books. One of the movies...

Tired and crabby and not feeling that positive about anything right now. Hope Doctor Who can fix this before work tonight.

Resolutions #1, #15, #19, #13
Resolution Number 15: BLAH BLAH BLAH. This week I watched Body of Lies on the recommendation of Ging. Because he and I so often agree on movies, I trusted him even though there was gratuitous Russell Crowe. I was right to trust him, because this movie was fantastic. I’m not typically a fan of movies that describe any middle eastern conflict, because they have no idea what they’re...

Resolution #15
No need to go over Resolution 15 anymore. But seriously. I’ve never realized the stack of things I own that I’ve never watched. In some cases, these were gifts from people and it’s like “Oh… Thanks, yes, I enjoyed the first Sandlot movie. But uh… this decade-late-direct-to-DVD-sequel should be just as good.”
I’ve wanted to watch this one since I...

Resolution #15
So, this week, as the movie I keep meaning to watch but never get around to, I picked Reservoir Dogs. Put out in 1992 by Quentin Tarantino, this movie has been in my possession for at least seven years, if not longer. I purchased this at A&B Sound during a Boxing Day sale. I did sit down to try to watch it once before but as I recall, I got bored.
When Grindhouse came out and Quentin...

Watch movies you’ve always wanted to see but haven’t had the time for
So, yesterday I have seven hours between the end of work and the start of classes. Rather than do anything productive in between, I crocheted a scarf for a friend’s sibling and watched Silence of the Lambs.
Nothing fascinates me the way the psychology of serial killers, and I’ve had this movie on my To Watch list...

Ways to be Awesome in 2012
Crochet something for myself and for someone else

Create and keep self-imposed deadlines
Find a boy who deserves that midnight kiss and give him a kiss
Graduate my program
Remain friends with those who deserve...

2011 in a nutshell
I made a big long post with all of my recommendations and advice from the year, because I’m only a year older, but I’d like to be more than a year wiser. Tumblr didn’t save all of it for me like it was supposed to.
I think the advice went something like this:
Don’t let the hand you hold be the hand that holds you down.
People are always going to let you down, you...

Pet Peeve
Seriously. Mixing up possessive “your” and contraction “you’re” is not acceptable after the age of seven.

Reason #21753467 I Love My Father
Dad: You should probably eventually fix your hood, bumper, and door handles.
Me: Do they affect the car's ability to go?
Dad: No, they don't affect performance but they affect resale.
Me: Dad, think about what you just said and relate it to my use of things. In all honesty, I will drive that car until it simply does not go any longer and repairs can't make it go any longer.
Dad: Ah, yes, the "does it work" principle.
Me: If I wanted to blow money on something useless, I'd develop a crack habit. I'm going to bed.
Dad: Night!

Last Night on the Mass Pike
Oh. Man.
So, it’s been established that I like sitting in parking lots at night, smoking/drinking coffee/reading/dicking around on my phone. This should not be new to anyone reading.
It’s also established that I am functionally retarded when it comes to social situations, particularly those involving the opposite sex. I can never see anything coming.
So. I’m sitting in the...

Could I be getting soft in my old age?
Examples as a proof for a positive answer to the titular question of this post?
Driving back to school to help a friend with his accounting project, even though mine was done on Friday.
Doing my best to get a stolen iPod back to its owner.
Doing Christmas shopping for my father.
Acting as harmonizer between my parents and my older brother.
I think the obvious answer to this question is, yes....
Familia ante omnia
But you can always choose your family.
Another busy Saturday in the works:
Christmas shopping
Paper writing
Paper writing
Cheesecake baking
Review writing
Jean shopping
Decorating
See you on the other side. Unless you’re Meghan, then I’m going to try to see you on this side.

Oh Frabjuous Day!
Ging is back in class. He’s been dying the death all week and the poor guy is showing it. Even his hair looks like it’s been sick for the last week.
I got some grades I’ve been waiting for this week. I’m starting to wonder if I’m actually this smart or if it’s kind of like “Yeah, we’re just killing time before Christmas.”
It was an...
