remember that time on Lost..

when they had first crashed on the island and Kate was stitching Jack up? he told her the story about how he made that huge mistake during one of his surgeries and allowed himself to the count of 5 to be scared before he set the fear aside and corrected his mistake.

well, i'm not saying moving is a mistake.
what i am saying is that i'm all of a sudden freaking out and scared to death. so, for the next 5 days, i'm going to let myself be scared. let myself be paranoid. let myself worry. let myself be homesick before i'm even gone.

but when i board my flight in Indy on monday morning, i'm going to be excited.

(at least, i hope so)

something borrowed

just finished reading Something Borrowed a few nights ago, and although it wasn't the best book i've ever read, it was an easy read and held my interest pretty well.

i read it because the movie comes out next week, and i'd rather read the book before seeing the movie than after. it was good chick lit, so if you're looking for something funny and for something that's deep or beautifully written, this is the book for you!

hope the movie turns out to be better than the book.
also, hope i have someone to see the movie with, considering i'll be living on the other side of the country this time next week..

delayed rage..

if you're a true grey's anatomy fan, you'll know exactly what the title of this blog post refers to. but i'll explain anyway.

during season 4, when derek and meredith are broken up, derek dates rose.
derek breaks up with rose to get back together with meredith.
then one day at the hospital, derek is talking to mark.
rose walks by and acknowledges only mark.
derek says to mark something along the lines of, "i don't understand, she took it so well in the beginning."
mark then tells derek that rose has "delayed rage." now that everything has set in, she's pissed.

which brings me to today.
turns out, my delayed rage kicked in.
who would've thought?

I Am The Messenger

a couple weeks ago i finished I Am The Messenger by Markus Zusak, and i loved it so much! being completely honest, i was pretty skeptical before i started it, but i'm so glad i read it anyway.

it was the raw honesty of the characters that really drew me in. the writing was beautiful, and i found myself inspired to work on my own writing.

i don't want to go into the plot, because i feel like i wouldn't be able to give a good summary without giving too much away.

if you haven't read it yet, you should!

just a few thoughts at 1:36am

I've been so MIA from blogland lately.
mostly because my AC power adapter for my laptop just short of blew up, so i was out of a computer for almost 2 weeks.
thankfully, now i have a replacement!

so at the moment i'm laying in bed, and i have quite a few random thoughts that i figured i'd share with whoever reads this blog.
which is probably just my mom.
go figure.

1. there is a mouse in our house that we just cannot catch. no matter how many mouse traps we set. i just saw him 2 minutes ago, and i want him to stay out of my room. EVERY NIGHT he comes in here and rustles around in the shelves next to my bed, and it is driving me nuts. i'm quite upset about it.

2. i'm moving in 13 days. and i'm freaking out.

3. why do i get so tired in the afternoon, but then when it rolls around to bedtime, i'm not still tired? even when i don't take a nap??

4. if i don't get my hands on the elf 100 eyeshadow palette soon, i'm gonna go crazy!

5. although i've only used it once, i'm IN LOVE with the Tresemme Heat Tamer Spray. my hair has never ever felt this soft. now i just need to find something to make it shiny too.

6. i'm still thinking about that mouse, and now i can't relax.

7. i can't wait to meet my roommates.

8. WHAT IF MY ROOMMATES HATE ME?!

my goodness, i'm the most paranoid person i've ever met.
