Limbo...

I'm happy where I am.

I have a good life. I love my family. Heck, I even like them from time to time. (an odd statement for anyone 12-30) I have a nice job, no real huge world-is-coming-to-an-end worries. I have a really good life!!

...

But I want to move on...

It scares me, don't get me wrong. Change=bad.

But at the same time, I'm not getting what I want right now. I feel like I'm in a rut. A very comfortable rut, nice fluffy pillows and a teddy bear in the corner... But a rut.

I went to go visit the town where I grew up today. To give you a picture, it's very much like Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls. Very small town-y. And very pretty. ^.^ I love it there. <3
But as I was driving through I thought "I love it here... but it doesn't have what I need right now. I need a school."

I love my life. I love my home. But... it doesn't have what I need right now.

*sigh*... I always thought when making decisions like this that there wasn't supposed to be regret in the choice that you didn't take... It was like this for the A vs. B thing too... A looks awesome!... But I want B... Not that I don't want A. It's the same here. I want to leave... but it's not that I don't want to stay...

You have a good mind, and many times that's what you make decisions with. -quote I heard

Monsters vs. Aliens = AWESOMENESSSSSESSS!

From the call-back to "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", to the break dancing cockroach, One of the most entertaining movies I've seen in quite a while. ^.^

Lol. Yeah, just got back from "Monsters vs. Aliens" and I absolutely LOVED it!! Really, really good. ^.^ Really, really silly. But really, really good. ... Really.

I feel like their should be more I could say... but it really has to be experienced.

So yeah...

Bob...

Hey, I'll trade ya a pencil for your TRUCK!

Lol. ^.^ True story too!

Well... to a point.

For institute we played a game, called "bigger or better." The aim of it was to start out with something simple, and trade it with people to get something bigger or better. We started out with a pencil.

We had about four groups of three or four people, and were all given a pencil and given a 45 minute time limit. No rules other then that really. And if the people wanted their stuff back after the game was over, we could do that.

So me and my little group started out and actually got some pretty cool stuff before we got the winning truck. ^.^ Yup, we won! GO US!

*ehem* We started off trading the pencil for a carpet tack strip, which was traded for an old beach chair, for a boom box, and for a truck. ^.^

Yeah... We had to give the truck back. And I knew the people who let us borrow it... But still! We didn't know the other people! And I thought it was very cool. ^.^ And I'm still amazed people gave us something for a pencil... A pencil?! After that I figured they'd give us something, but a pencil's a pretty mundane thing.

So yeah. Fun game.

A vs B

Epiphany!!

Well, in general, I'm trying to decide what to do with my life... And I just realized that I'm actually deciding what to do with... my LIFE!!... The decisions I make now, will directly effect where I end up... O.O;

Yowzers!!

So yeah... I go more into this on a note on facebook, 'cause details are kinda... detail-y...

Thoughts appreciated.

Woof.

Happy Easter Ya'll!

So I'm looking around at the blogs that I read, and not ONE of ya'll has an Easter topic... Ok, kinda Lola. But not the rest of you!
Dude!
What's up with that?!

The only problem with this... is that I don't really have anything to say... I mean, I could randomly put out something like "super-cali-fragalistic-expealy-do-shus!" But even at times that this, it feels some how inadequate... Plus I'm sure I spelled it wrong.

So I'm just gunna borrow some words from an apostle! ^.^ 'Cause I'm sneaky like that! Boo-ya!
...
But I can't for the life of me figure out how to put up a video without going through the whole "Google Docs" thing... I know there's a way... I see the "add video" button... but at least as far as I can tell, that only lets you add video you have on your computer... *sigh*

A day in the life of a would-be art student

Well... I love art. I think I've said it before. And for those of you who don't know: "MEEEEESS LUVS THE ARTZZZ!"

Well, I plan to be an artist when I grow up.
Or at least someone who does something creative as a career. (I want to be a momie, but I think at least preparing for a career is a good idea for anyone) I really don't know if I want drawing, illustration, animation... web design? Heck, I've played with the idea of fashion designer!! (and for those of you who know me, you know how plausible THAT laughable idea is)

Well, I've been doing a little research (very little) and I requested information from an art school. Gave them my information last night around 11 or so and figured they'd get in touch with me soon-ish.
I did NOT figure they'd get in touch with me the next day...

So they called me today, and I had a sort of impromptu interview with the dean of admissions (which actually went pretty well, if I do say so. Nothing spectacular, she just asked me why I like art and so forth) while I was in Target. (odd spot to have an interview... but that's when they caught me)

*sigh* So... I am attempting to venture off into the world!... I only have a vague idea of what I want to do. I don't have the money. I've never lived on my own...
All I know is that I love art and it makes me happy. ^.^ It should be an interesting year for this little puppy.

Hey... Ever had a bee crawl into your ear?

I HAVE!

Not something I recommend. ^.^;

Yeah, a few weeks ago I had a really interesting day.

I was just getting off work and getting in my car. I'm putting my stuff down, put the key in the ignition... and realize I've got about four bees one me and there's more outside... O.O Two on my legs, one on my shirt, and one climbing into my ear. *shudder* (note: bees are loud!)
It was hot outside, so they were all buzzing. I thought for sure the one in my ear had gotten stuck in my hair... "Great. Now I'm gunna have a bee in my hair for the rest of the day... This'll be fun to explain..."

So I prayed like crazy to not get stung (I don't know if I'm allergic, but I'd rather not get stung if it's all the same to you). And slowly and carefully make it out of the car only to realize that my car is surrounded by about twenty bees. O.O

Great...

At first I figure, ok. They like the color (it's a pretty blue) and they'll leave in an hour... or so... I hope.

Then I notice the big brown spot on the tree I'm parked next to.

I'd parked under a new hive. ^.^; Yeay me!

So there I am... personally bee free, but with my car fairly swarmed and my door open. And I don't even feel comfortable enough to go close the door, so I can't even leave my car there and try to get help!... *groan*

A couple people from work get off, and ask if they can do anything. At this point I'm not afraid anymore and I'm just laughing my head off. (C'mon, you know it's funny!)

Thankfully the bees calm down a little bit, and I can close my door, so I do and head back into work. I find my manager and explain "Hey, my car's full of bees, can I use the phone to call my mom and get a ride? ^.^;" Meanwhile, apparently one of the other management peoples heard about my plight and came over very gung-ho and "I wanna go kill some bees!"

Lol. So he got my car away from the bee tree, and I was able to get home. Un-stung too! That was nice.

A week later I checked the tree, and the bees were gone. ^.^ I don't know how, but someone took care of them. *phew*

I LIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!

Now tell me what mortal needs my protection great ancestor... Just say the word, and I'm there!

Wow... A full month and no blogging from everyone's favorite puppy... How DID ya'll survive.

Well, I've been doing well. Work's been kinda crazy... So all I do when I get home is relax, thus no blogg. Blogging is nice, but it takes a little bit of effort to go and actually write stuff down.

Let's see... what's been going on.
Well, my life plan went up in smoke. ^.^; That was fun... I was planning to move in with a friend of mine (Honor), but she doesn't want to be cold, so she's moving somewhere else. I don't really think that's where I want to go... So, I get to rethink my life. ^.^; Haza...
I know I'll be ok, it's just kinda stressy... (I hate that I don't trust the Internet enough to give specifics...gr... Well, ya'll know how to get a hold of me if you want 'um)

Anywhoodle, I'll try to be more active. ^.^;
