I am in love!

..with this song! There is no better feeling than finding new music you totally dig. Currently listening to Mumford and Sons "Little Lion Man". Those boys can really get down on some strings!

I have my Halloween party tomorrow at school. I had to do some last minute baking. I was a real Betty Crocker this evening. It was nice. With school and work, I don't really get the chance to cook or bake. I really do enjoy it.

I get to cut some hair tomorrow and use my Chi Man shampoo for the first time. I'm pretty excited about it. =)

My friend and I were chatting over some beverages while half watching something about the Great Wall of China. It brought up his memories of his time he spent there. We had a good conversation about politics, which I typically try to stay away from, but the hold the government has on the people over there is a little terrifying. He said they even control what you can and cannot look up on the internet. I think my biggest fear would be to have no access to information. There is still so much I want to know and learn. It makes me wonder what kind of blocks there are on the US internet. Very scary.

I probably ought to sleep so I can get to school on time.

Sweet dreams, internet.

I was just notified!

Matrix just sent me an email confirming that I am a semifinalist!!! I am so, so very excited!!! I cannot contain myself!!! Or the exclamation points!!!

!!!

Okay, enough. *deep breath* This is starting to feel real and I am so full of joy right now. I cannot believe that this might actually happen for me. I have been waiting for an opportunity like this all my life- I just never knew it until it came to me.

I'm at work, so I have to cut this short, but more to come very, very soon.

I'm going to go ahead and say dream big, because they just might come true.
=D

Stuff

I'm not too pleased right now.

I really am a damn fool. Well, whatever.

I really want to hear something from the Matrix program I applied for. ANYTHING would be great. I'm so impatient!

I have a horrible toothache!

I hate taking pain killers, but I make exceptions for tooth problems.

I have a serious phobia of the dentist, but a girl's got to do what a girls got to do. I'm really not excited about having to miss school for it either. I was trying to wait until I graduated before heading off to the land of fillings, but my teeth have other plans for me.

If it's not one thing it's another... but nothing will stand in my way of getting my license except death itself.

Well internet, my pills are making it hard to focus and I have a special man making me dinner. More to come when I come down.

Second Chances

I have recently been stood up by a guy that I really wanted to go out with. He’s asking for a second chance.

The survivalist in me is screaming, “No! Run the other way!” But the optimist in me is saying, “What’s wrong with giving it a shot?” I’m afraid that just saying yes will come off as, “Sure, walk all over me and I’ll just come back for more.”

When did dating become so complicated? Maybe it’s always been this way and I had just never noticed because I used to be a serial monogamist. And honestly, if it’s this complicated for me this soon, is that really a good idea?

I suck at dating.
