Old-fashioned

The more I think about it, the more I want to be part of an older era. I want to have my family dinners at a formal dining table. And Christmas would be grand. Lots of baking and warm dinners. Winters would cozy, spent in front of a warm fire. The whole little children running underfoot, with thoughts of sugarplums in their head.

Too bad it won't happen.

Shooting? Here? In The Middle Of Nowhere?

Yep. There was a shooting here at Henderson State University. Luckily, the dumbass missed and nobody was hurt. In fact, the majority of the students weren't aware that anything had happened until well after the fact. They caught the three suspects, impounded the car, and confiscated the weapon. Apparently, it was over a dispute over money between some guy and his ex-girlfriend. So, she got her new boyfriend to go after her. Very mature, right?

It's kinda surprising though. We are located in the middle of nowhere. We're supposed to be safe here, right? It's PODUNK! Small Town, USA and all that jazz.

All You Who Sleep Tonight

All You who Sleep Tonight

All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hand to left or right
And emptiness above -

Know that you aren't alone
The whole world shares your tears,
Some for two nights or one,
And some for all their years.

Vikram Seth

*long sigh*

I feel older than my years... I can physically feel myself wearing out. I'm already beginning to form worry lines. Well, laugh lines too. I guess there are causes for both. There's a constant knot rolled up in the pit of my stomach. I worry about everything it seems... financial things, my evil step-brother, my parents, my brothers, my relationships, Stephen, my career, his career, his health, my health, my school work, my home work, my grades, my room having some modicum of cleanliness, and the list goes on.

I am going to give myself an ulcer. I just know. I am already giving myself panic attacks. I should probably speak to a doctor about something for the anxiety. It's getting really bad now.

I'm so busy it seems. There never seems to be a moment to just sit and read a good book. If I do, I get behind, especially in my history class. Did I mention I'll be lucky to get a C in there? I'll have A's everywhere else, I believe. I'll still have my scholarship which is important.

Don't get me wrong. I love college! I love it here at Henderson and I love the experience I'm having. It's just there is so much going on. Both at home and at school.

This Election

I'm glad it's over. Very unhappy about the outcome, but it was expected.

I am pissed of people who rub it into my face, especially when they don't know jackshit about Obama.

Halloween

I was Elphaba from Wicked and my costume was kick-ass. :)

Henderson Halloween sucked. Although there was somebody dressed as Sweeney Todd and looked just like him. I was psyched.

Why don't people bother wearing costumes anymore? If people think they are too old to dress up, then you are too old to go trick-or-treating! You are old enough to get a job and buy you're own damn candy! Or when they come back multiple times! That pisses me off! There was even an older woman trick-or-treating albeit costumes or kids! I feel bad not having candy later to give to kids who are wearing costumes, because some kid in a t-shirt has come by three times.

Next year, I will be Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd. Taylor says he will be Sweeney and we will learn A Little Priest.
