ha, i forgot about the "6 things i love post"

i knew that if i didnt get it done yesterday i'd forget! but never fear, thanks to yall leaving me comments i remembered that i owed you all this post, and here it is! let's start with 3 things that aggrevate me and then go to 6 things i love:

3 things that make me frown/pull out my hair/plot someone's death:

1- when my prof consistently keeps us late as fuck for our monday night class. it goes from 6 to 8 20, but then he decided it goes until 9 and didnt really tell us. i walked out one day (i wasnt feeling very well AND i was like fuck this, im leaving) but i cant do that every day. some people commute to richmond and dont get home until 10 and then have to turn around the next morning for class! REALLY uncool. and this prof just cant tell time-- i was kept waiting 45 min this past friday for my appointment with him. i dropped my book in the hallway 3 times so he'd wrap it up with whoever was in there, but to no avail. this makes me Furrriousssss! (and yes, this happened tonight, as it does EVERY FREAKING MONDAY AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)

2- the speed limit in williamsburg is 25, and most people go 25. wtf?! dont they know the add 10 rule? and when i'm on my way to class it's an add 20 rule! it makes my blood pressure rise to an unhealthy degree. people are also mostly tourists and the street signs and directions are confusing, so NO ONE ever does what they're supposed to (yeild here, stop here, etc.) AAARRRRGGGG

3- working a lot (4 days this week) for only $7.25. i know they cant afford to give me more, and i should probably get a job that pays more, but it's fun/i love it/everything's great OTHER than the fact that i make like NO $. i got a $75 paycheck the other day-- i was like are you kidding me?


6 things i LOVE sooo much:

1- fall in Virginia. you've got to be KIDDING me it's so awesome! chilly, crisp, sunny, awesome fall color, not too cold (saratoga springs, i'm looking at you). PERFECT! (this picture was taken out my bedroom window and looks at the ravine that the deer sleep in. it was taken last week)

2- my girls. it's so nice to have animals to hang out with/distract myself with while i'm eyebrow-deep in school stuff. had i only known this in undergrad, i would have been a happier person! seriously! i'm never really afraid at night like i prob. would be living alone in the woods b/c i have them there. its sort of irrational since they're not attack cats or anything but it's so comforting. and NOTHING makes me happier than to wake up and have two sleepy cats hanging out and snuggling. ADORABLE!

3- my favorite websites:
a) jezebel.com is so amazing, i would die without it. it's a total treat now-- i love it so much i never let myself read it until all (or most, or even half) of my work is done for the day. i may not agree with everything they say (megan, sometimes tracie, and i despise moe, thank god she's gone) but i keep abreast of the world through this. the comments are frusterating b/c people comment like effing CRAZY the literal SECOND the post is posted so i never comment b/c the thread is always too long (and archetype has always commented first anyway) but still-- LOVE.
(nessa, what's your jezzie comment name?)
b) nytimes.com i learn so much by reading a couple articles a day that i have no idea why i didnt do this long before. and its awesome b/c most of my friends read the same articles so we can talk about them
c) apartmenttherapy.com i dont have as much time for this one as i'd like, but it's so inspiring and awesome. the comments are where i get the most information and help and it's so cool to have this little community. i've posted many comments and 2 main questions so i feel like im part of it.

4- i have just discovered the beauty that is Itunes Genius tool. holy shit this thing is awesome! you pick a song that you like in your playlist and hit the button and it matches up all the songs in your entire library that it think match with that song and then (apparently) makes suggestions of things to buy based on what you like. it hasnt made any suggestions for me, possibly b/c i have so much music already? no idea. but i only listen to playlists (i have like 800) so having a tool that creates new playlists of songs i already like at the click of a button? GENIUS! oh wait, that was the idea... ;)

5- Houston. i love you houston, and i miss you. i love williamsburg too and am perfectly happy here and not very homesick at all, yet i just cannot WAIT to come home! i cant wait to see all of you and eat all the food (barnaby's, mai's, empire, brasil, mockingbird bistro, WHATABURGER OMG, etc etc) and just enjoy being HOME! get ready kids-- around dec 15th! YAY! (camera phone taken in 2002 or 2003)



6- school. i LOVE school! no matter how stressed out it makes me at times, i absolutely LOVE it here. i love the discussions, the discourse, the sharing of ideas and broadening of horizons/intellects. i LOVE LOVE LOVE it. and on that note, i'd better get back to my work so i dont fail out :) xo!
