well, this is it. I've moved to Tumblr. Sorry guys. This blog has been great and all, but it just seems too formal. I want a slightly easier way to share my thoughts with my sister, so tumblr just seemed like a good choice. Here's the new site: http://twindeux.tumblr.com/ I won't be posting anymore to this blog, but I'll keep it around just so I can still keep a link to the older stuff I've written. I hope you guys enjoyed blogspot while it lasted and you'll all keep up with me on my tumblr from now on! :)
peace out.

A Fine Whine
So I saw a bumper sticker today that read "Stop Global Whining." Sorry, dude, but I'm going to whine all I want to. It makes me feel better.
I've been rushing this week, which means I've been spending all my free time stuck at school all dressed up and stuff. I really don't think I'm going to end up pledging, but I've already met some people and made friends, so it's been worth it. Other than that my week has been pretty lame. There's been a lot of rain and traffic and homework. But other than that I guess it's alright.
So I've completely fallen in love with Absolutepunk.net's Free Music Fridays. I basically look forward to it all week. You know when you hear that one song and you're like, "Woah! I totally feel like that right now!" Super cool. Here's mine for the week:

Listen to it. Oh, and I miss Katelyn. A lot. I haven't really had any time to talk to her all week. Boo.

College...
... and why everyone is lying when they tell you how great it is.
College sucks. Okay, so maybe I should rephrase that. Not living on campus during college sucks. I'm sure college is great and all, I'm just not feeling the love quite yet. The people are weird, I still haven't made any friends, and driving home after school to veg in front of the TV really hasn't helped my social life, which usually goes on hiatus during the summer months anyway. So needless to say, I have had limited social interaction with anyone outside of "Hey, what did she say the homework was?"
For some reason, American culture has made college out to be the end-all be-all of adolescent social freedom. It makes it look like once you step foot on a college campus, you are instantly greeted with friends, freedom, and unlimited social interaction with other good-looking, popular college kids. Not true. Don't believe it. College is nothing like the movies, at least for me. No parties. No stories. No nothing. Just a bunch of boring people waiting until class gets out so they can go home and watch Adventure Time.
Or maybe that's just me.
Regardless of whether it has to do with me, the college, or the fact that I live off campus, college isn't all it's cracked up to be. At least not yet. I'm expecting great things from you, college. So you had better deliver. You've been pretty lame so far.

Words of Wisdom
Kevin Bacon once said: "College is like highschool with ashtrays."
A truer word has ne'er been spoken. Like, ever.
College really is like highschool, except that 25% of my drawing class is made up of women over the age of 35, the teachers let you out early, and I don't know a soul. But other than that, it's like highschool all over again. Not cool.
Katelyn left last night. It hasn't been too depressing, but every now and then I think of all the cool stuff I can talk about with her, and then I have to remember that she won't be there when I get home. I'll have to call her or something. Being able to just see a person and talk with them is a lot different from having to call them up and hope that they answer. I don't want to hope that you answer. I just want you to be there, all the time.
It's like the last 15 seconds of Underoath's "Down, Set, Go", where it's only Spencer Chamberlain screaming "You're not here with me" over and over again. You're not gone. It's just that you're not here with me. And I don't think I like that very much.
SO COME BAAAAAACK!!!!

Someone please save us
us college kids.
What my parents told me
is what I did.
They said: "Go to school and
be a college kid."
But, in the end,
I questioned why I did.
Relient K knows my pain. That strange, 'this isn't for me' feeling keeps on coming up, but I guess I'll just have to fight through it. Classes start tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to it.

5
That's it.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and then Tuesday. And then you leave.
PUH-LEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!!!! (sobbing uncontrollably.)
Okay, so maybe the sobbing hasn't started yet, but I'm gearing up for it. I'm drinking a lot more water and practicing some techniques to stop hyperventilation, so I think I'm prepared. I've also washed my pillowcase and have created a rather awesome 'make myself feel better playlist.' First song? This one:
I know it comes from the perspective of him leaving her, and it's all romantic and stuff, but it gets the whole juvenile, scared and worried feelings right.
But for all my preparation, I know I'm still not ready.

a week to the day
One week from today, I'll be the saddest person alive. Okay, so maybe not the saddest. I can name about 10 different things that would be about a trillion times worse than my sister leaving for college:
1. her dying...that would suck.
2. me dying...that would suck too.
3. just about anyone I know dying...I don't like dying.
4. my house catching on fire...there's a lot of stuff in there.
5. the human race forgetting the recipe for banana bread...now that's depressing.
6. all the oranges in the world disappearing...can you imagine a world without orange juice? I can't.
7. every season of Lost on DVD getting destroyed...I just winced.
8. the Florida Gators having a losing season...I just shuddered.
9. my entire itunes library erasing itself...gah....
10. Mountain Dew ceasing to exist k0[ghi8[ri3west6tyiuyttttttttbvy6hkjenvwucgbstc uhilpowi45097tgjkvfmnrgryngjyckmnxgrstuyk srusrukrsuskruskkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkrtttttttttttttv
Sorry about that. I just passed out all over my keyboard.
so yeah...I would rather have my sister go to Vanderbilt than have any of that other stuff happen. I'm going to go find some Mountain Dew now, just to make myself feel better.
