The RMS Titanic
So, my grandma got me a subscription to the Smithsonian magazine for Christmas. Which is actually kind of cool. The past few months, I’ve skimmed through them, but haven’t found anything all that interesting. This month, however, the cover story was all about Titanic. The real ship sinking. I couldn’t get good access to the cover photo, but this really awesome painting, by Robert...

When you lose weight, Wii Fit is so supportive....
But when you gain weight, it is a nasty, fugly bitch. “So you’ve gained weight. Why is this? Because you snack too much? Don’t you think that’s it?”, it says in a snarky voice.
I hate you, Wii Fit. I hate you.
Dialects are flippin' hard.
I cannot get Irish to save my life. And I’m fucking Irish! But I just can’t get my mouth to shape the sounds. And there’s nothing more frustrating than your mouth not cooperating with your brain.
UGHHHH
Did over an hour of "workout" on the Wii Fit...
Not everything I did could necessarily be considered a strenuous work out, but I did do a lot of aerobic exercises and strength training. So some push-ups, jack knives, boxing, hula hooping! etc. It was great and I feel so good.

Most of the time, I'm pretty sure I'm not a...
But sometimes…and it’s rare…but sometimes… when there’s a song that I’ve liked for forever, and suddenly it gets popular… I just get so annoyed with the billion statuses, posts, videos, etc. of it.
This is my third paper due this week.
My brain is about to shut down.
iraffiruse:
hahahahahahahahhaha, I wasn’t expecting that.
Nothing like starting a paper at 11pm.
"Virginia is for lovers" huh?
Not as of late…
Trying to be brave, here.
But uggh, I am in excruciating pain. And I am exhausted from only getting 5 hours of sleep. (Hey strep: Thanks for that, by the way.)
But I am determined to make it to at least one class today. I need to, as I’m not contagious anymore. I have to prove to myself, and my mom and dad, that I can handle seeing Lion King tonight, strep throat/sinus infection and all....

Every time I think about these ridiculous...
I get SO mad. I just DON’T understand how this could happen. How it even started happening. WHO THINKS IT’S A GOOD IDEA? How can ANYONE in their right mind think it’s a good idea?
HELLO!?! It is 2012! Not 1945! And guess what? As much as it just kills the misogynistic men that make up our House and Senate, WOMEN HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS.
I fail to see how a country founded on...

Of COURSE I would have strep on Fat Tuesday.
On the one day of the year it is acceptable for me to eat all of the cheeseburgers and french fries and milkshakes and feel none of the shame, I have strep and can’t eat anything that isn’t a liquid.
HAVE I MENTIONED HOW MUCH STREP SUCKS?!
Also, my tonsils are covered in white splotches. It looks like mold is growing in my throat, and is the single most disgusting thing I have seen...

You can read more if you want to hear me complain about my symptoms. I won’t subject all of my followers to my whining if they don’t want to hear it.
I can’t breathe out of my nose at all, due to the sinus infection.
My neck and arms are stiff and achy.
I can barely swallow, due to the strep. When I do manage it, it’s so painful, I wince and cry a little.
My head is...
So, I've got strep. AND a sinus infection.
I have an antibiotic, sudafed decongestant, nasal spray, and ibuprofen. All to be taken at different points throughout the day.
Man, my life sucksssss.
God. Damn. It.
I have been restruck with the Plague. I hate my life.

I don’t care if you’re pro-choice or pro-life (Because if you ARE pro-life, then this is NOT the way to go about stopping abortions).
An involuntary, invasive, unnecessary vaginal procedure, designed to humiliate and shame the “patient”? Does that NOT sound like...

And I spent hours trying to decide what information would be most useful, the most important, trying to cram it all in, and formatting like crazy.
And guess what? Maybe 2 things I put on my cheat sheet were on the actual exam.
Fuck my life.
Must do...
—At least 1 more Real Estate quiz
—at least start my Cheat Sheet for the RE exam
— at least begin my transcription of my Cockeny monologue
My goal is to go to bed by 3am. Let’s see if we can make this happen.
I can barely keep my eyes open. This is going to...

And by hate, I mean love.

Because she, quote, “wanted one.”
What?
Jeez.
Apparently my foot has set up permanent residence in my mouth.
Just got on Skype for the first time in ages, and discovered the archived conversations between me and Tucker, an ex-boyfriend from a long time ago.
It’s interesting to remember everything that happened between us, all of the love we shared. Remember how happy he made me. Imagine what life would have been like if he’d come back to VCU.
But these aren’t sad memories, not in the...
