Cooliosity

So I got to read a bit further into Stop in the Name of Pants. I'm so close to being done. It's funny - the more of the Georgia Nicholson books I read, the more I begin to speak think using some of the words from the books, like oo-er, nippy noodles, and adding -osity to words. It'll be interesting to switch from this to Harry Potter.

Speaking of HP, the trailer for Deathly Hallows came out! Here it is:

I'm pretty excited to start reading the series again, and even more excited to see the movie, even though I wasn't a huge fan of the 7th book. We shall see.

So I have been contemplating this for a while: Disney should come out with a TV show about modern day versions of the Disney princesses. It could be set in a high school with all of the princesses and all of the villains and everything. I think it would be cool as long as Disney didn't make it stupid like Hannah Montana or Wizards of Waverly Place. It wouldn't be a sitcom, but more of a drama, like the shows on ABC Family. It could bring in older watchers (and by older, I mean teenagers) while still incorporating Disney elements. I really kinda want to see it happen.

So apparently my boyfriend is considering buying a house. He's convinced he can get a foreclosed house for really, really cheap, and that it would be a good investment, I suppose. He's 22. I don't know, I feel like he's not really ready for the responsibility of owning a home. His bills would double, he'd have to do upkeep, etc. Plus...I don't know, I feel like it's his way of saying that he's growing up, and I don't really know what that means in terms of us. So I don't know whether to help him with this or to tell him it's not a good idea. We'll see, I suppose.

Ho Hum

Fwah. Yes. Fwah.

I just got off of work and finished making dinner (chicken fajitas, in case you were wondering). I hope they're ok, because I completely forgot about the chicken and left it in the marinade for an extra day, so we'll see. I actually really like to cook and I'm trying to find new, healthy things to make. So far, nothing. But I imagine that if there ever comes a day when I have nothing going on and can devote a day to cooking, I'll make the healthiest meal ever!

Anyway, I read a bit further into Stop in the Name of Pants (strangely enough, as I was typing that, Ultraviolet, the song from the movie, came on my computer). To be honest, I like Masimo the least of all of Georgia's potential snogees. Everyone knows she's supposed to be with Dave the Laugh. Too bad she doesn't.

I don't know, I feel like I'm stuck in a rut. A style rut. This is what happens when you have to pay rent and can't afford to buy new clothes, I suppose. I really want to go shopping. I have 2 tank tops. Just 2. It's depressing, really.

I don't really have anything interesting to say, so that is all for now.

Ok, So I Feel the Need to Edit My Previous Post

I realized that I kinda made it sound like life is peachy keen, and I kinda need to vent. So here we go!

I'm actually quite lonely this summer. Again. Last year I was upset because I was away from all of my friends from GV and my boyfriend, and this year I'm lonely because aside from my boyfriend, I'm not really friends with anyone on this side of the state. I mean, my new roommate is great, but she's gone a lot, so we haven't really gotten to know each other super well, much less hang out on a regular basis. But I really do feel like I have no friends. For example, this is the third Saturday night in a row that I have sat by myself in my apartment doing nothing. Don't get me wrong, I love my alone time, but this is ridiculous. I want some human interaction. I want to talk to someone about boys, makeup, drama, anything. I need a friend. Badly.

Also kinda on the similar subject...my boyfriend broke up with me about a month ago. We got back together 5 days later, but it's still hard to deal with that fact. I mean, things were never perfect, but I didn't think they were so bad that instead of talking to me and being open about his feelings, he had to break up with me. Those 5 days were horrid. But I really do hope that things will work out. We're talking more, and making sure to do things without each other as well as with each other (or rather, he does stuff, I sit at home...sigh). I really do love him, so hopefully things will be ok.

Another thing: when I first started writing this blog, I made a mental note to keep people anonymous in case someone I knew found this and realized that I was referring to them. But I decided that I don't really care anymore about first names, so here's a list of characters for reference: My boyfriend = Nate, my current roommates = Stefanie and Katie (Katie hasn't moved in yet), my former roommate who I hated = Nikita, my former roommate with whom I was severely annoyed = Stephanie. I think that's it. Obviously no last names, but whatever.

Anyway, if I can think of anymore things to discuss, I will post. Probably tomorrow.

...And Suddenly It's Summer

I am driving 85 in the kind of morning that last all afternoon...Why Georgia by John Mayer just popped up on my song list, so there you go.

Ahem. I could try to play off the fact that I completely stopped updating for a couple months, but I'm sure that by this point we've all moved on already. So we'll just maintain an aura of causulosity. Yup.

Can you tell I've been reading the Confessions of Georgia Nicholson series? It was the first bullet point on my summer reading list, which I will hopefully complete eventually. I'm on book nine, Stop in the Name of Pants. Ah, Louise Rennison, how I love thee! There are only ten books in the series, so I'm almost done. Apparently she's starting a new series that'll be out soon, but I feel as though nothing could top this one. I really wished she had just kept it going forever. I'm not even ashamed to admit the fact that I am a 20 year old who enjoys reading about 14 year olds. Seriously, it's the funniest series I've ever read.

Next on my list is obviously the tenth book, Are These My Basoomas I See before Me? But after that I'm moving onto Harry Potter. Surprise surprise. But it is a summer tradition, and this will be the first official time that I will have read the entire series back to back. After that, I do believe an HP movie marathon is in order.

Geh, it is so hot! Everyone has this misconception about Michigan being cold all of the time, but no, it's not. In fact, when you're trying to cut your electric bill by waiting as long as physically possible to turn on your A/C, it's freaking hot. Bah.

So I'm all moved into my new apartment, away from my former horrid roommate (she removed me from her friends list on facebook), so all is well on that front. I have my own room (!), so life is splendid. Even better: I got a job in April, working at Marshalls. It's ok, but at least I get paid for it. I'm also taking classes at the local community college since they're about half the price of the university I attend, which is always lovely. After this summer, all of my credits have to be earned at GVSU, so I'd like to save my money while I can.

Aside from finishing my summer reading list, I do have another summer goal: to get in shape. I'm not exactly on the hefty side (I'm a size 3), but I, like everyone else in the world, have flub, and it's not attractive. I'm also ridiculously out of shape, so I'm trying to work on that too. So I'm attempting to do a dance workout video (oo-er) and a yoga video. There are also a couple videos on Youtube that I'm attempting, so we'll see, I suppose. I'm also trying to get into cooking more, because although I love doing it, I don't too often. So wish me luck as I attempt to juggle work, class, yoga, dance, a reading list, and a social life. We shall see.
