It's been a long time.
I was practicing my bluegrass singing with the windows open and now I have a bunch of toothless men holding weed bouquets on my front porch.

For some reason, I find it impossible to write this paper. In fact, I find everything else in the WORLD to do BESIDES writing this paper. Hence this post.
Countdown:
7 Days til Chicago
2 Months til Graduation
3 Months til I’m 26
Um.. bittersweet countdown?
I've disappeared.
BUT NOW I’M BACK!!
Anybody wanna eat some smores around the campfire with me?

COMPS.
I’m happy to have a second job. I’m unhappy to have Comps coming up.
I’m really unhappy at how I won’t have a life til May 7th.
OY!

I love Step Brothers.
I'm the one who wants to be with you.
Dear Mr. Big,
You are the only one I trust to wear tight pleather pants with no shirt. Thank you for bringing tears to my eyes.
Forever yours,
Colleen

People of Earth:
In the last few days, I’ve been getting a lot of sympathy calls, and I want to start by making it clear that no one should waste a second feeling sorry for me. For 17 years, I’ve been getting paid to do what I love most and, in a world with real problems, I’ve been absurdly lucky. That said, I’ve been suddenly put in a very public predicament and my bosses are demanding an...

Snuggies are pretty much magic in backwards robe form. I should own one someday. Til then, Nike pajamas. Woot.

Just went through my 1999 journal to see if I said even one smart thing 10 years ago. Turns out I had some pretty awesome quips. Atta girl.
Example thoughts:
1. “I hope I have 1st lunch with my friends. Not 2nd lunch with those idiots.”
2. “Will I get into Madrigals and sing like the diva I am?”
3. “Kevin Buird is like totally hot. Hotter than his twin brother....

Merry Boopmas!

I have so much to do and very, very, very, very, very, very little time to do it.
Sing Off
A cappella has been around for centuries. Collegiate a cappella has been around for decades. Nice to see if finally take interest within popular culture.
But I’m kind of over people I used to know being hardcore musical snobs. GROSS.

The United States of Florida
“It takes a big state to absorb the entire North every winter,” the New York Times wrote on February 2 of this year. “Florida is pulling it off.”
In wintertime, the Sunshine State takes in ‘snowbirds’ from the rest of the country (and beyond). Interestingly, these cold-weather refugees seek out each others’ company according to their place of origin, creating a patchwork of sunkissed settlement...

Daisy is the new family cat that I don’t know very well.
But Bootsy, I do. I miss him and his troll-like tendencies. He was a very beautiful animal. Bright wintery eyes, eskimo dog-like fur, incredibly wide face. Unlike his pleasing outward appearance, his insides reeked of anxiety, fear, and anger. To put it bluntly: he was kind of a douche. The Bootsman rarely came around, hissed more...
To the many who think he's nuts.
Perhaps it would be smart to rethink your position. “But he jumps on couches proclaiming his love for Katie Holmes”,”it just doesn’t seem realistic”,”he’s over the top, ridiculous.”
Ehem. It’s wise think OUTSIDE of the media. Have you ever been in love with someone so much that you wanted to jump on a couch? And does realistic mean...

Foot surgery soon. It’s just re-fixing what was broken from 2005. Is “re-fixing” a word? Perhaps I should say, “this 2nd surgery is merely fixing what original surgeon messed up.”
I hope this method is less painful. Maybe the physical therapy prior to the actual surgery will decrease the chances of a difficult recovery.
Time will tell.
Last Thanksgiving with the Lightning.
My beautiful Ice Palace. My wondrous Lecavalier.
I won’t be here next year. This is just odd.
