Happy Easter! Now I can stop being depressed about Lent OR Hey, You, Get Off of my Cloud.

Instead of writing my 7-page paper that is due the day I go back to school, I've been celebrating Caturday in the only way I know how: LOLcats. Duh.

Man, I can't wait to get some Peeps tomorrow. It will totally make up for the 2-hour church service I had to go to last night. Ugh. Catholics.

The other good thing about being home: Guitar Hero. Yeah, I took it from a friend of mine and brought it home with me. My sister and I played for a couple hours yesterday. Then got my father to play. I really like being better than my Dad at something....that man is good at everything...except video games. Score.

So this paper I've been "writing" is a self-improvement paper. I should have written it ages ago, because it's a piece of cake. But I can't seem to focus with all this wireless glory I've got going on in my room. I could have gone shopping with my mom and sister, but I hoped that by at least having them out of the house I could get more done...nope.
I am in writer's block hell.
I hate being here.
Funny how I'm having no problem blathering on in here, and yet I can't write a simple paper about myself.

I think it's because the content of the paper is kind of depressing in the beginning, and it is making me rehash all the shit I've been through and been dealing with. I'm finally to a place where I'm really, genuinely happy and now I have to go back and remember all the crap from the last year. Ugh. And it just makes me feel miserable. I don't need to feel miserable right now.

It also makes me remember how I'm, well....I haven't achieved this one goal I wanted to have achieved by this time. And it sucks. I'm not going to say what it is, because that's pointless. But let me just reiterate: It SUCKS.

But anyhow, back to something even less productive than this.

Till next time,

Back in Black

Back at school; thank goodness. I always am a fan of the homecoming, that's for dang sure.
I'll come back when I have more time for a "Spring Break Synopsis." It won't be exciting, but I did have a fun time with Rachel.
The snow was kind of a downer, though. As pretty as it is...it's Spring Break. I mean, honestly. Come on. March?! Why?!?
Sigh.
I'll be ok.

For now, I need to unpack and put things in some kind of order so I don't explode.

Till next time,
Natalie

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

Spring Break is about to start looking up for me, starting tomorrow. Which is more than soon, if you think about it. It is currently 10:52 pm. Fantastic.

Rachel will be getting here tomorrow so we can finally, officially start our Spring Break. We've just been biding our time in our respective homes until Wednesday gets here.
And once Friday gets here I'll be somewhere other than Richmond, which is beyond exciting news. I'll be seeing Bowling Green for the first time ever, and then Saturday we'll be making a day trip into Nashville! Which should be pretty fun. Hey...it's not Kentucky.

I'm having a lot of trouble concentrating on this blog. I keep checking everything else over and over again for no reason.
I know I'm super distracted. I have a lot of things on my mind, and it's kind of driving me crazy.

Oh well. Moving on.

Until next time,
Natalie

What happens on Spring Break, stays on Spring Break

Ain't that the truth.
I don't want anyone knowing what I did (or didn't do) for the first few days of my Spring Break.
Sadly, by using the word "ain't" to open this post I have let-loose my location.
Yes, I'm in good ol' Richmond; my home town. Podunk.

(Hey, spell check didn't make a red, squiggly line under 'Podunk.' Don't tell me that's a real, proper noun! Absurd.)

Alright, don't get me wrong, being home isn't all that bad. I went shopping and procured some good buys. I was able to knock out my copious amounts of dirty laundry in just 2 days, so I now have decent looking clothes to wear. I dyed my hair a shocking shade of plum today. (See picture)
It glows.
Good thing I like purple. A lot.

I kind of like that picture. It's what I would look like if I were a high fashion model, I think. I actually watched the runway show for Yves Saint Laurent, which features some of the ugliest, helmet hairstyles I've seen in awhile. Take a gander. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIOO2OVscmA&feature=user
At first I was like, "Hey! I can do that to my hair!" and then I was like "Good God, why would I want to?!?"
So, we're clear. Delusions of high fashion hair out the window. Unless, of course, someone out there thinks I can pull it off. Don't worry, I can see through those monstrous bangs. Safety first, kids.

In other news, I've been working on my application to be BAC's Concert co-chair. Why? I don't know. Someone asked me to. And if I don't hold some kind of leadership position fast....well, I won't hold one. They look nice on applications for more important things (like scholarships and job applications).
My hope is that someone awesome *coughAlexcough* will apply to be the other co-chair. I don't like throttling people I don't know. And I wouldn't have to throttle the above name bracketed by suggestive coughs.

This is getting kind of lengthy, isn't it? I know I'm not a fan of reading blog-posts that are too long and pointless, so I don't want to perpetuate that kind of thing. So here I shall end. I should probably plot out the pictures I need to yet take for my Color Imaging class. I need to shoot about 27 more of the 30. Yikes.

Until next time....I need to think of a clever sign off....

In the beginning...

I decided to make an official blog. It just didn't feel right posting all those notes in facebook.
Either no one read them, or the wrong people read them, or no one really seemed to notice the notes section existed.
No matter; I'll get this puppy up and running and anyone who cares can read it.

I used to have an electronic way of posting my thoughts....it was an evil thing called livejournal.
Bleh.
Man did that suck. High school bullshit whining left and right.
This seems much more adult. Right?
Just nod and agree with me, for sanity's sake.

I guess I'll just leave this be for now and get back to it soon.

Take care and be safe on your Spring Break, if you're on it,
Natalie
