My New Favorite Things

I figure you read my blog. You must be interested in what I like.

#1: Brandon Sanderson. I know I've mentioned the Mistborn novels before but the final book in the trilogy just came out about a month ago and can I just say wow! I highly recommend this series to anyone who is a fan of fantasy, or mystery, or adventure books. Or anyone interested in philosophy or politics. They are beautifully written and so engaging!


#2: 80's music! Ugly clothes, awesome music!


#3. Andy Warhol. He is quite possibly the greatest pop artist to ever live. You can't help but stare when a piece of his work is shown.
#4. The Office. This show is the best written comedy to come out of America ever. Every Thursday you will find me in front of the television patiently waiting for the next episode to start. I mean, who doesn't laugh when Dwight says something off the wall or cringe when Michael tries to create some office unity. I'm not going to lie, I was more interested and involved in Jim and Pam than in my own life for a while. "Do I want to be feared or loved? Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me."
#5. Guantanamo Bay Debates. In the last two weeks I have had 5 debates and several discussions about the status of Gitmo. I haven't gotten so excited about something in a very long time. It's wonderful. :)

She Returns!

So I have decided to start this baby up again! Not that I really have a lot to say or that anyone cares what I think but it will give me the satisfaction of knowing that I am doing something that may someday be an asset to someone.

I've been thinking about a lot of things lately. It is the curse of the young. We have too many decisions to make and consequently think about them to much. It's time for some confessions.

Confession #1: I am changing my major...for the sixth time... I hear a lot of college kids talk about how normal it is switch your major several times before you get the right fit but I'm starting to think that I am not normal. I have gone from Anthropology to a brief flirtation with Physics/Astronomy to Political Science to Acting to Philosophy and now back to Political Science. It's a mess. I have no idea what to do with life apparently. I have pretty much wasted a year and a half of college and about $6000. This cannot be healthy. Hopefully, I've found something I love and maybe I can stick with it. Pray for me.

Confession #2: I am a political junkie. This probably isn't a big surprise to those that know me. But surprisingly enough this blog has not really shown my true colors. Anywho, the presidential election is something I have been invested in since day one. Now, two years is a really long time to obsessed by something and I know a lot of people got sick and tired of hearing about Hillary, McCain, Obama, and that William Ayers guy. But not me! I am not so easily bored. Just ask the hundreds of people who had to listen to me rant about Lord of the Rings for the last 7 years! :) Anyways, I am not looking to ruffle any feathers I just want to say that I am very excited to see what the next four years will bring us. I was an Obama supporter from the beginning. (Even before it was cool to be an Obama supporter.) I realize this makes me a little bias but I just want to say that maybe we should wait until our president has tried enacting some actual policy before we start trying to impeach him. All of the doom criers out there really need to chill out. Nothing can be as bad as the last 8 years. That is all I will say. I could fill several blogs with my political opinions but then I think I would get even less readership than I get on this one... ;)

Confession #3: I am NOT looking forward to the Twilight movie. I hate fangirls.

Confession #4: I am pretty much about to strangle someone right now. I shouldn't use names just in case she or someone she knows stumbles upon my blog. (Highly unlikely) It is kind of a nightmare. I try to be nice and engaging but I get ignored and judged. There has been some rumor spreading as well. It's all high school drama crap. I thought adults were above stupid crap like this but apparently I was wrong. I know there is a reason this person acts this way and that they are dealing with a lot of things. But so are other other people...aka me...and I try to be considerate but it is really to hard when they are not. (Sorry...sometimes you just gotta get stuff off your chest. I will try to keep the personal diatribes to a minimum from now on... ;) )

Confession #5: Boys are stupid. That is all.

Have a lovely time everyone. I will try to be better! I promise! Till then here's a funny picture of me for you all to enjoy!
