Yes. I'm a book nerd and I love it. :) Reading is fun.

I would love to have a library in my house. That is, if I didn't live in a one bedroom apartment. ;)

Procrastination is the key to a successful life.

List of things I should be doing:

-Reading the articles for my American Lit. paper

-Writing my American Lit. paper

-Studying for my American Lit. test

-Getting the notes from the days I missed American Lit.

-Working on my OnTap articles- 2 as of right now

-Working on my Odradek story- I have about 5 first sentences that I plan on extending, but I'm not sure which one I want to commit to doing yet

-Writing my Spectator article

-Writing out notecards for my Law and Journalism test

-Studying for my Law and Journalism test

-Spanish Quia

So, that means I am really procrastinating. Really. It might sound really strange, but I love having all those papers and articles to do. I LOVE being busy, but I wait until the last minute to do anything. My high school teachers taught me to do that. I got almost all A's in high school and waited until the last minute to do everything. I still get all A's and B's and wait until the last minute to do everything. I wonder how amazing all my stuff would be if I acutally scheduled out finishing it earlier. That might be A++ work. Woah.

So, the gym. I had my first experience in the VSU gym on Tuesday and I am not cut out for working out. Ok, well I am really going to try starting this month, but yeah, I was pathetic. The girls ran an average of maybe 8 laps and on lap 3 I thought I was having a heart attack. My body is made for walking. After, I worked on my arms using a weight, and then my thighs on some gyno looking machine, and then I woke up on Wednesday and thought I wasn't going to be able to move. Are you kidding me? It motivated me to working out more. I want to be able to run. And have abs. I want to look like this-

(Ok, so I totally just didn't use my head, google image searched "hot bodies" and got an array of boobs and dicks all over the screen. Remind me to turn on safesearch next time.)

Hahahaha. That would be the day! But, I'll just pretend I could actually accomplish looking like that. The naked cowboy guy said that everyone should aspire to be something they know they can never be in a million years, but why aspire for anything less? Leave it to the naked cowboy guy to provide us with the most important life lessons.

So, I'm really bummed that Holly and Hugh Hefner broke up. Really. Mom said he was looking for a new girlfriend and that I should try out. Ha. Like I'd want to kiss and sleep with that old geezer. I'd love to meet him and follow his footsteps by having an amazing magazine and house, but I sadly could not bring myself to be a girlfriend. Plus, I'm not anywhere near blonde and my boobs may be of size but my waist needs to lost a few inches.

Oh. I do have to mention my newest project. Since I've been super busy with school and totally into doing my own thing and having no time for other stuff, blah blah blah. I decided it would be really nice to find out how to send cards, letters, boxes, or whatever to soldiers overseas who don't have someone back home. I found an amazing website called Anysoldier that gives out 2 addresses a week out of a list of soldiers who post what they and others need/want and allows us (by us I mean those living in the U.S. not currently on a base overseas) to send things to the men and women who rarely get anything. Sweet huh?

Strippercise.

I registered for another class which means I have a total of three classes this summer-- Creative Writing, Professional Writing, and Philosophy. Should keep me busy long enough to make me realize not having a job is worth it. I really want to start working out too... we'll see if that happens. I made a great attempt to do my Carmen Electra videos the other day... didn't happen. Then.. I almost went to the track... didn't happen.

I did, however, recieve a compliment saying that I already look like I work out. That boosted my self esteem enough to think that I don't have to work out this week. I'm going to eat my Mac and Cheese... lay on the couch for a while... possibly go to the pool... and start my already demanding homework. Fun stuff....

As if I weren't already broke.

I had full intentions of cleaning the house... vaccuming, dusting, cleaning the sinks, and emptying the cats litter. It didn't happen. Instead, I spent my day browsing the internet.

Damn internet.

And... instead of being good and saving money, I decided that I MUST have a new cell phone. So I bought one. Its the RAZR V3xx... and I'm hoping I love it. I have a Blackberry Pearl right now, which would be amazing but I don't have the data plan which defeats the whole purpose of the phone. I miss my RAZR and since there are newer better ones now, I bought it.

That's when Paypal fucked me over. I never use paypal, it seems like such a pain in the ass and they don't even check that much anyway, as if someone couldn't screw them over. Well, now I have over a hundred dollars waiting to be transferred into my paypal account (an amount of money that after paying for the phone isn't going to be in my account) and I can't cancel the transfer. This means I have to wait 3 days for it to go into the account and then probably another 3 days to transfer it back into my bank account, total pain in the ass. I am boycotting Paypal for as long as I can.

I'm also poor. I don't think being a bum for the summer like my original plan was is going to work. What job do I want though? None really. I wish I could sit at home and make money... build a sex site or something, although then I'd have to get a webcam and have creeps writing me all the time. Too much work.

I almost signed up for a dating site today, only to remember that I think meeting people online is ridiculous. Plus, I'm one of those people who likes to see what other people are on the sites... so I always feel someone else is going to do that to me.

Oh well. Being single is fun...

In reality.

Everyone needs days like today. I woke up at noon after a night with the girls-- watching bands with awful music but hot guys, drinking one glass of beer and becoming obnoxiously giddy, and all attempting a chance with a cute (but not worth the fight) guy. I decided to shower and put back on my pajamas and watch the entire season one of Army Wives. I only made it to episode 6, but will definitely complete the season in the next week. I also ate 4 weight watchers popcicles, defeating the whole purpose of the pops.

Anyway, it's been a relaxing, super fast, day. Try it. Oh, and watch Army Wives, it's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

Speaking of which:

I've decided lately that my life calling is to become a military wife. Of course, last month I was convinced that marriage wasn't for me. BUT- I love moving, I love all the benefits of the military, and I love the thought of having a man that is so honorable that he would risk himself to defend our country. Plus, I'm good at the whole social group thing and think that I would make an amazing colonel wife. That's just my opinion. OH, and my family would make an amazing support system. It's practically meant to be.

I wish soulmates would just pop up one day. I really don't want to try the whole 'dating, getting to know one another only to end up not together eventually' thing. That's too much work for me. I also really don't want to meet someone at the bars. It's one thing to find someone who shares the same love of beer as I have, but it's another to meet him drunk. I guess maybe I want someone a little classier and someone I know isn't a skeezball. (You know, I googled skeezball to find a funny image, and Criss Angel popped up times a gazillion... interesting) I'm tired of looking, so now I'm banking on the whole soulmate popping up randomly thing. I think it will work.... we'll see.
