Italia calls.

Current Mood: Brooding. And I can't sleep. Squeak squeakity squeak squeakem. I feel a Disney kick coming on. Which is really quite unfortunate for me right now, because not only do I have things to study for, but I only own two movies - all the other ones are back in Orlando. Probably collecting dust. Poor, neglected movies. I think I might steal them next time I go home. Spring break, it will be. I also desperately miss being overseas, all of a sudden. Italy, Greece, the UK, France. Last summer I was fortunate enough to go on this trip abroad with a group called People to People. Maybe somebody's heard of them? Well, I went on this "European Odyssey" and I had an amazing time - it was like a dream come true. No, scratch that. It WAS a dream come true. To see so many historic places.. to think that I was actually in the Coliseum, in the Louvre, in the old Roman Forum, in the place where they filmed "My Fair Lady", climbing up the acropolis to find the Parthenon... yeah. Words cannot describe how wonderful that entire month was. And it wasn't even a month - we went to four countries, countless beautiful pieces of history, in three short weeks. You can't imagine how many pictures I took. And I miss it all so much. Especially Italy. I hope I go back there one day. Just to see all those narrow, winding streets, the red roof tops and gorgeous, green landscapes again would be absolute bliss. To go and actually be able to spend an entire day in one spot, instead of hopping along quickly to get them all in, to just sit back in the Square of Miracles and enjoy the view.. There's a lot of things I would sell for that. I hope that I dream of Venice, and of the Vatican, of St. Peter's Basilica and Notre Dame, that beach in Greece, Mt. Vesuvius, and every other landmark or monument we visited. Sometimes my memories of it all seem so dreamlike - as though I still can't believe I was actually there, standing where thousands of years ago, Caesar might have stood. That's just frankly amazing to me. I wish I had my pictures or my journal here with me. Sort of like proof. Yes, Megan, you really were there. I'm going to go pass out now.

Yum Yum Cookies.

Current Mood: Meh. Listening To: American Pie - Don McLean (the REAL version - screw you, Madonna) Man, this brings back memories. When I listen to this, and other old songs like this, I remember that I miss them and that life is not complete with out all that old, classic rock. I feel like Bruce Springstein right now. You guys, OMG OMG!! I see blue sky outside!! Stuck in between the clouds, but I see it!! I do!! Okay, seriously now, this calls for some major celebration - break out the Vanilla Coke and the rock and roll! We's a gonna party! It's been a long time since I've actually been able to do that. You know, blast the music, laugh and dance with friends, do whatever we want. I really hope that come Spring Break, I at least get to do that once. My roommate isn't exactly mosh-pit material, if you know what I mean. This of course reminds me of my new quote - something I think a couple of the girls back home would get a kick out of. Hopefully not literally (especially since I'm not there), but hey. A Girl Like You - Edwyn Collins. Hee hee, good times. The fact that the sun is indeed shining, though, makes me tremendously happy. It's almost amazing how much of an effect it has. Almost. Although it looks like it'll rain later (which just helps to back up my thesis that blue sky means rain immediately after - not that it's.. ever.. stopped.. raining..), but hey, I'll take what I can get. If it holds up, I might go out on the green and read a bit. Although the green is probably still wet from the rest of the freakin' week, so I'll find a bench instead. Perhaps I'll take some pictures. Sounds like a plan. Centerfold - J. Geils Band. I love this song. I just thought you should all know. So how about that V7? I feel pretty dorky for being excited about it, but then again, who freakin' cares, right? Whatever turns me on. I can't wait to see what's changed though. I mean.. I have a general idea, of course, but it'll be nothing compared to the moment that I actually get to look at it. Oh, the suspense. Oh hell yeah. I found Free Bird. Let's play that now, shall we? God Bless Lynyrd Skynyrd. Which Neglected Mario Character Are You? I went from Luigi to Daisy, although I have to say I really don't mind. I think this is actually the second time I've gotten her for something. That means... it's meant to be!!

Cherry Coke is my Savior.

Current Mood: Somewhere between happy and tired. Listening To: In the Middle of the Night - Billy Joel Yeah, baby. Gotta love the oldies. Well, it rained again today. That's probably three days in row now. Maybe more. I'm trying to be optimistic about it. You have no idea how hard it is to get out of bed at 7 in the morning though when the weather sucks, it's cold, you're tired, it's math that's making you drag your ass up, and your bed has never been so comfortable. Okay, some of you probably have. But you get my point here. Although I can proudly say that I did go to math, and I was even on time. That hasn't happened since the beginning of the semester. Eight o'clock is just too early now. And to think I used to get up at 5:30 to take a shower and all that in high school. Pffft. Lately I've really been in the mood for new music, so as you can see, I'm covering all the genres now. Earlier I was listening to something by the Black Eyed Peas, and now it's some weird rock song. The other day I listened to Jewel and Sarah McClachlan almost non-stop. It's going to be a weird weekend. My blog writing was just interrupted by the lady at the front desk - I got a package, whoo! I checked my mail earlier today and I had a letter from my grandmother, so this is turning out to be a lovely day, indeed (despite the crappy weather). Now, to see what I got: --- Letter number one is actually from FSU. Apparently I made the Dean's list last semester. What can I say, I'm just a genius or something. *poses* --- Letter number two looks like a valentine.. and it is. Heh, and it has a scrapbook on it. That is so my mom. --- A STUFFED ANIMAL!!! My one weakness!! ....well, one of the "one weaknesses", anyway. But it's one of the Hallmark ones - the white dog with a heart hanging from his mouth. I saw it in the store when my parents came up and hugged it, and my mom obviously noticed. It's so cute. *gushes* --- Ooooh, tupperware. Nice. Plastic. Versatile. My fridge will never be the same again. --- Lastly, two bags of Pepperidge Farm Goldfishes. >_>;; She knows me too well. Now that my day has been considerably brightened, I think I'm going to take a nap with my new doggy. I'm at least going to hang onto it for the rest of the day. Hee hee.

Yay for commercials!

Current Mood: I wanna dance! Listening To: Are You Gonna Be My Girl - Jet I can't help but love the iTunes/iPod commercials with the black dancing silhouettes. Because I do that all time - I just don't get paid for it. And usually, I stay in color. But hey, details. This reminds me that I got about $10 free from iTunes online for Christmas and I haven't used it yet. Reason being was that since all three of the kids in the family got it, we were going to make our lists so that none of us got the same music. And that never happened because my brother and sister are just as lazy as I am. And now I'm in Tally, and I don't even think I have the thing with me. Which makes me want to cry, cause there's a lot of random, fun songs that I want to listen to and now, I can't! Woe is my life! By the way, I'm testing out colors, so don't mind me. I apologize ahead of time if I make you go insane, but just remember, you're not alone. Oh no, my friend. MATH SUCKS LIKE NEVER BEFORE!! (No offense, Azure.) I might edit this later, but for now, I leave you with my count so far: 2 high fives (and right now it's 1:23, whoo). Although the second guy kind of kept coming back for more, so I don't know if that counts or not. o_O;;

Test, test, 1, 2, 3...

Current Mood: Meh. Listening To: Naive - The Jealous Sound As soon as I'm done with this entry, I'm going to look for this band online because I think I'd like to hear more of their stuff. If nothing else, I'll at least know more about them. Fun stuff, though. Well, today's another crappy weather day. It's been raining since noon, basically, and I'm officially sick of it. Don't get me wrong, because I love rain - it's nice to listen to, and thunder storms are awesome. But Tallahassee doesn't get thunderstorms, so I can't enjoy the lightning shows like I can back in Orlando. It's also been ugly like this for the majority of the last couple weeks. Any time the sun tries to peek out and you actually see a blue sky, you can bet that in the next few hours, it'll start raining again. And more and more I've realized that I need sunshine. I'm going to go insane soon. Cabin fever. I'll literally be trying to claw my way up the walls. So yeah, the weather is making me unhappy. Well, not really unhappy, but it is having a noticable affect on my mood. I'd like to try and be optimistic and think that later, I'll cheer up, but later I'm going grocery shopping and I can't tell you how much I hate spending money there.. it piles up so quickly. My advice to you all right nwo is to eat before you go shopping, always. If you go while you're hungry, you'll try to buy the whole store. College teaches you many, many things. I talked to my dad a little bit today, and I probably won't be going home this weekend. Which is sort of a drag, because that means I won't be able to make it to one of my very good friend's surprise birthday party, and I won't get to meet Ben at Universal. I could have tortured him in real life and everything. Oh well. T.T However, he did say something that made me feel slightly good. My sister hasn't heard back from UF yet (that's not the good part), but she's definitely been accepted to FSU, and it looks more and more like this is where she'll end up coming. Which I have no problem with at all; it'll be nice to get to talk to her more often, without actually having to live with her, heh. The cool part is that if that ends up happening, we're more than likely going to get a car. I'll end up paying for some of it, since I'll be getting a job this summer and I'll actually have money for once.. but damn, I'll take anything at this point. Now crap like "I can't go home until I've got a ride" won't happen, lol. My parents will have to see me now!! Bwa ha ha ha!! (......) I would also like to note that today I got 3 high fives and 2 Cowabungas. But! The day's not over yet!! Viva la revolution!!

Taste the Change!

Current Mood: Amused Listening To: Itch - Vex Red I thought I'd switch from my green and take a little cruise in the pink. I have a new fondness for pink lately - a good, hot pink, at least. But shh, don't tell my roommate. I'll never live it down. o_O;; Which brings me to another point - sometimes I feel like I end up with my foot in my mouth way too often, heh. It's sort of funny to me now, cause it's always funny when it hasn't happened for awhile. But I keep forgetting how many really clever people are on the boards - I was just browsing around for about ten minutes and I almost died laughing. Which is also pretty fun, actually. Not the dying part... the laughing part. Yeah. But you get what I mean, I'm sure. ^_^ I'm feeling genuinely good today, which is a nice change of pace. I've also decided to post that little bitty I wrote the other day in the Lit/Poetry lounge place thing, so I can get some nice feedback. So go, my duckies, go poke fun. I mean.. wait. In other news, I skipped math again today. This is not good. Somebody smack me. Smack me hard. Wherever you want. ^_~ *coughs* Okay, I'm done.
