Today I took my last final exam, ever. Well in college anyway. Who knows if I'll go to grad school. But as for right now, I am terminado. I love how in Spanish that's "finished" but looks like I just said I am terminated. Yes, I am done for. I am so glad to be finished, folks! I really thought I would not see the day. Four years is a long time, and now it's come and gone and I don't know what to do. I had a job interview yesterday which I think went pretty well. I should be hearing back from them sometime next week. If I get this job, I'll be staying in Montevallo for awhile. I kind of wanted to do that anyway. I guess I'm not ready to let go yet. So we'll see what happens. In the meantime, I get to catch up on my movie watchin'!!! Oh snap!
Netflix is going to get abused this summer. I just saw the movie Junebug and I actually really enjoyed it. I've heard mixed reviews about it, but I think it's safe to say it's one of my favorites. I wish more people liked it. I think it's brilliant and not just because my future wifey, Amy Adams is in it. (OMG, I love that woman! Ok, so it's pure infatuation, but she can act [yes, really, she can]). The best thing about the movie was how real it was. The writer and director knew exactly how people think and felt and it reflected in the film. The characters at times were a bit stereotypical but the point of the movie wasn't to focus on where they came from or whether their environment was portrayed accurately (it took place in NC, but people pissed and moaned about it not really portraying the south accurately... but they were missing the point). The whole theme was about how people from all walks of life have quirks and deal with conflict in similar ways. For me, the best part of the movie was seeing the socially awkward moments. The heart of the film was the importance of family and I think it was shot beautifully. From the reviews I read, some people take this movie way too seriously instead of just enjoying it for what it is. So, there you have my mini-review whether you wanted it or not.
Well, my eyes are starting to droop --I'm at work, what is that?!- so I will leave it here. I do have to add something Allison said today that made me snort a little bit of my soda out my nose.
Newsanchor: Next, do you know what Vanna White would be doing if she weren't on Wheel of Fortune?
Allison: She'd be wandering around, turning shit around.
I thought it was hilarious. Maybe I was a tad hyper. Well, I guess this blog is now terminado as well.
iBuenas noches!
Finals are killing me! Too many papers. Too many exams. I quit. I wish I could, but just one more week and I'll soon be missing college life, I'm sure. I'm at the library again. At 1:15 in the morning. I feel like a zombie. You know what's been on my mind lately? Relationships. They're disturbing (are you noticing how short my sentences become when I'm tired? That's how fast my train of thought is- not very). So yeah... relationships suck ass. At least the ones I get into. Allison is going to take my head, turn it into a soccer ball and kick it like she's trying to win the FIFA cup if she sees this. I already told everyone her last name on here. She's gonna flip. But it's okay, cause I simply don't give a damn anymore.
Man, getting into relationship after relationship is not healthy. I never really took a break after my previous relationships. I just jumped on board and hoped for the best. And sometimes it was nice, but most of the time I just missed really hard. Nothing sucks worse than putting all your time and energy into something and then having it fall through. And it scares me... I'm at a point right now where I don't know what I am going to do with the rest of my life. And Al has her own plans, which sort of include me, but we both know it's not going to be that way. It's all really kind of sad. And I really hate it when I meet someone amazing and really hit it off, but know that nothing could possibly ever happen. Blah, I'm feeling crappy. And I probably shouldn't be typing this late. Time to close the library. I need to find some people on here to join my neighborhood. What's the point if no one's going to read it, right?
G'night
The old blog is gone. I'm starting ova.
Today has been somewhat of a funny day. I woke up with my cat's claw lodged in my toe. I remember screaming and Jazz was frozen in place, looking at me as though he were innocent. While his damn claw is IN my toe. It took my scream hitting an insane decibel for him to stop and run to the other side of the apartment. So, my day didn't start out funny... well, maybe I mean funny as in odd. Yes. It's been odd.
I'm at the library, working (if you want to call it that), when Allison
calls to tell me that our favorite rooster is outside. A little back
story on this: Allison and I are walking down Highland St. as usual one
day when we hear an obnoxiously loud crow (I like calling them roosts).
At 12:30. P.M. So when I named the culprit Merkle Lazeface, I thought
it was only appropriate. I have yet to actually lay eyes on Merkle. I
hate to admit it, but I don't think I've ever seen a rooster first hand
before. I've seen hen, but not roosters. I know. Where have I been? I
don't know... Germany. They don't grow that kind there.
So,
back to Merkle, who today decides to hide. I barely catch a glimpse of
him, but I'm still counting it as having seen a rooster. So there. He
was very shiny and red. True story. But then I notice Allison is
holding a shoe box. She just came back from McDonald's, and they
decided to give her brand new shoes. So I take a long look at her.
Hat: cat hair on it, mustard stain;
shirt: clearly needs to be replaced-it's white;
pants: so many stains, I wanted to give her my pants;
shoes: what, are those new?
They
gave her shoes! The last thing she needs, but whatev, it's McDonald's.
What can you expect? So then I notice that on the side of the box, they
put Allison Rabadan. WTF??? Rabadan? Who is that? Allison's last name
is Huntley. They got one letter right. There isn't even another worker
there by the name of Allison (or last name Rabadan, for that matter).
McDonald's, seriously, come on. Is it that hard? Is it?
So not
much has happened today, but I needed to start doing something with
this blog (which hasn't been fixed yet, btw). I am counting down the
minutes until I am free. This is my last Saturday working at the
library. That makes me kind of sad.... okay, I'm over it. Wooo! No
matter Saturdays at the library! And on that note, I'm out.
**oh yeah, I watched Sweeney Todd. Lesson learned: Never shave.
So I decided to start a blog! Whoa, insanity! I have no valid reason for starting one but I guess it'll be nice to have a place where I can jot down the hundreds of bizarre thoughts I have throughout the day. Don't you ever just feel like there so much to say and no one to say it to? Well, I guess here I still have no one to say it to, but at least it's out of my head.
But about this whole starting a blog business... I don't know if it's vox or if I just cause dumb shit to happen, but I can't seem to get to any other page but this "compose" page. Anytime I click on something else, vox is like "NO! You CANNOT." But in a much nicer way: "oops! please contact us about this problem. Sorry for the inconvenience." Yeah, I bet you are. You just don't want me to blog the TRUTH.
Yeah, so, let's see if it denies this entry. We shall see, my nonexistent friends.
Blogging is fun, after all.
