godspeed, tivo- loving hermits!

so yesterday i was sitting in my room eating gobstoppers by the handful- it's a sad life i lead some days- and today the left side of my jaw feels very tender. APPARENTLY it is bad for your jaws to munch on hard candy like beavers munch on wood.
at any rate: THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON.
see it, see it, then see it AGAIN! wonderful movie. it changed my life. and i cried, I, patron saint of scoffing at movie- criers, cried.
in other news, my cave- dwelling behavior has reached a new low: i have accumulated SIXTY HOURS of house on my dvr and have been watching quite literally nothing else for days now. i feel like a hermit, only i don't think hermits have dvr, but if they do, well good for them.
i have little else to say, having just woken up (yes, at 1:30 in the afternoon; i am on christmas vacation thank you very much) so i think i'll get out of bed now and maybe have some cereal. or sit here and watch house some more. who knows. the mysteries of life.
my teeth hurt.
don't take candy from strangers.

gee willikers

right, so i've decided blogging is going to be good for my health.
let's see here. what's happening in my life.
oh, my stupid question mark slash slash key doesn't work. i think i spilled juice on it actually, but how is this my fault. i know not. the great thing about it is i seem much more confident (or much less able to use correct grammar) since i can't really ask questions now. well i can, but they end in periods and sound more like some ironic witty statements than stupid questions.
i love going to the movies. i went to see "Doubt" yesterday with a friend, and boy- o, let me tell you. the movie was good, meryl streep is basically one of my heroes because she's just so friggin' b.a., but even when the movie got boring i was all absorbed in that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you're all, "hey, i'm at the movies, sharing an experience with strangers. AND THERE'S NACHOS!!" so overall it was a good day.
also: puppy chow. like crack, but with chocolate and peanut butter and minus those nasty side effects. well, kinda.
basically i've got nothing cool to say.
uh, college. scarrrryyyyy. i should be writing admissions essays or scholarship essays or something, but making random statements about my life to strangers is clearly WAY more interesting. so, have a nice day lovelies and lovettes. or something.
oh, also, everyone should listen slash dance around to girl talk at all times. forever.
end transmission.

yoga and portfolios

so lately i've been on this weird exercise jag. okay, the exercise part isn't what's weird. it's the fact that it's ME. i'll be the first to admit i've never been the most active or sporty of people. after getting into soccer last year i realized i don't totally hate getting off my butt every once in a while. when i put my mind to something, it's pretty tough to shake me out of it. so, i've started putting more time into working out. cardio at the y, running, and most recently, yoga. after a friend mentioned going to a class, i got inspired and did a little research. then i found out there's a whole channel in ondemand (yeah, comcast got something right!) that has free yoga, pilates, and a bunch of other workouts. after doing them the last couple of days, i do feel more energized and whatnot. i'm hoping to try out this yoga studio downtown, but i don't know when that will be.
another thing i've been working on more adamantly- if not a tad late- is my portfolio. the more i think about it, the more excited i am about the whole concept of being an art student. okay, so i don't necessarily know what i'll do AFTER art school. the point is, i'm so ready to be independent and immerse myself in art and be one of those crazy passionate people who can ramble for hours about the color wheel. and i guess that's what i'm looking for here: a chance to tap into my inner artist. at this point, i know beyond a doubt that's what i want out of life. now the exciting part, the scary part, is getting there. and i think i'm ready for it.
or at least, i will be, if i ever finish these friggin' applications.

i just love that new blog smell.

This blog needs to be... important. I've spent my formative years blogging about unrequited teen romance and familial complaints. Don't get me wrong, that's all sure to continue- after all, I'm still seventeen. Point is, I think a departure from the whole whiny teen thing is LONG overdue.
So, now all I've gotta do is pick some of my interests that are important enough to write about. Across this page will be splashed some of the thoughts flitting through this head of mine.
Maybe I'll post art here. It's a hobby and somehow the career path I've chosen, maybe I should get something of mine out into the world and see if it's got a leg to stand on. Maybe I'll review books, or just use this as practice to stop using run- on sentences. Maybe through this blog, I will discover myself, unlock some potential, and all that jazz.
Then again, maybe I'll just rant. Let's see where this takes us, shall we?
