Me: "Perfection is overrated."

Taylor: "I'm sorry, what was that? I was too busy being on the Dean's List to hear."

Quote of the Day

I usually do a QotD feature on my Facebook, so I figured I'd start doing it here too so I look like less of a post-less bum.

"I was alive while Hitler was alive - but only for about a month. There wasn't room enough on Earth for both of us."

the difference

The difference between trying to understand you and trying to understand him is the difference between dissecting a clam and dissecting a conch.

So Bible Study was almost over today, and one of our leaders, Cindy, was taking prayer requests. I mentioned Gaza, and then the other leader, Hal, said something about praying for our country starting Tuesday.

FREAKING EVERYONE IS NOT REPUBLICAN LIKE YOU ARE.

Okay, so I was probably the only person in a Bible study of eight or so people who voted Obama, but still. Geez.

always look on the bright side of life

So there's this friend of mine that I used to kind of go to youth group with.  We're friends on MySpace, but I really don't know her very well, other than that she's kind of partial to drama.  I'm following her blog, as I follow most of my MySpace friends who blog, cause I like reading what people have to write.  

Anyway, lots of her blogs are really unhappy.  Most, actually.  Maybe all.  They seem to all have to do with how guys sometimes treat her crappy, and how she just wants to find one that will think she's beautiful, and how so and so friend has betrayed her, and they are generally downers. But she doesn't write them too much so it's not really a big deal for me.  

But she wrote one today that was kind of ambiguous, more of a yearning type of "there are things I need to do better" blog than a downer angsty one.  And one of the things mentioned was something about "being the woman Aaron knows she can be."  And I'm like, hold on. Who the fuck is Aaron?  She writes so much about wanting to find a guy that I figure she would have written some FUCKING YAY blog when she actually found one.  I must be mistaken.  But no, I check out her status and her profile pic and she's all 'in a relationship' and her pic is with some guy (presumably Aaron).  

I'm just like....really?  How depressing are you that you ONLY write about the crap things that happen and not the good?  When you have a bad day, ALL of your friends fucking know about it.  You blog it, you bulletin it, you shout it from the rooftops.  LIFE SUCKS FOR ME.  But you finally get something/one you always wanted, and we do not hear WORD ONE.  Time for a change, methinks.

incidentally

I feel really sorry for all the people that I mislead by linking this blog in my comments on serious-y blogs who came here expecting politicalness or deep thoughts and got all my silly shit.

I feel sorry for you, but I'm not sorry.  Slight difference.

promise rings? pshaw

So I don't know if anyone's familiar with the concept of promise rings? They're sort of like a pre-engagment ring and I think they're dumb as fuck.  If you think you'll want to be engaged someday, then GET A FREAKING ENGAGEMENT RING ALREADY.  Jesus Christ.  I think they're more common among the high school set, which sort of makes sense because you can't exactly go off getting engaged in high school.  But I do have one friend who's gotten two of them.  One was from a particular boyfriend who used to be her best friend in high school, but she didn't want to date till post high school and blah blah that's not important.  ANYWAY he gave her a promise ring, and then things ended rather badly, I think cheating was involved, I'm not sure.  So now she has a new boyfriend...and a new promise ring.  Apparently it's been in his family for forever, so it has sentimental value...and stuff.  But I mean, really?  I just think they're dumb.  Particularly as she's old enough to get engaged by now.  DO IT.

Today Taylor and I were talking about marriage-y things because we're dumb like that.  He asked if I would like it if he got me a promise ring around our junior year or so.  My first inclination was to go YES PLEASE.  Then I very painfully realized how hypocritical it was of me and told him if he did so I'd be very happy but would have to give it back because the whole idea is dumb.  He laughed, noting my reluctance, and said, "Different when it's you, isn't it?"  Yes it is, dammit.  But I went ahead and told him if he was going to go around looking at rings, they might as well be engagement rings.

I think this might very well end up in us getting married, I really do.  That makes me :D

bats, teeth, twilight

Supposedly Israeli forces have not allowed journalists to enter Gaza to cover the war. That's not suspicious at all, right? Yeah. Anyway.

So Saturday night I went to sleep early-ish (for me) at like midnight. Woke up at around 8, went to church, went lunch afterwards with friends, went to hang with boyfriend at two, boyfriend was taking a nap, napped with boyfriend...woke up at 8:30. Wow, right? Then went home and fell asleep at like one. Slept through alarm this morning, woke up at 2 in the afternoon. I think I have a problem, lol.

This was Taylor's contribution: "You're like a bat. A cute, stocking laden bat [I've begun wearing knee-high socks lately. My new fashion fad.] You even have the teeth for it."

He's right on one count at least. I have weird, vampire-esque canines, and here's why. When I was young and my primary teeth were still falling out, I used to try and keep them from falling out as long as possible. The process, the pain and the blood and everything, freaked me out. I don't know. This usually didn't have any adverse effects, except for my upper canines. The secondary set started coming in through the gums ABOVE my primary teeth. Freaky. So they had to pull my primary teeth, which did weird things to the development of my secondary teeth. So I have fangs. How...Twilight-y.

By the way, my take on Twilight was that it was like Harry Potter in terms of literaryness. Also in the case of getting better as the books went on, as they were the first books of both Stephy Meyer and J.K. Rowling. Practice makes...better. *cough* Also, I'm a Jacob fan. Edward annoys the hell out of me.
