--One of my favorite Tim Burton movies, BEETLEJUICE!
Its that time, my favorite time, of year again! The cooler weather finally arrived and the leaves are changing colors. Sadly, I didn't get a costume this year because I wasn't sure that I'd need it. I got invited to a party at Lyon college and a few of my friends want me to go to a haunted house in Little Rock. Not exactly my cup of tea, but I will probably end up doing it anyway because I'm sometimes nice. I've been on the go constantly all week and it feels nice to finally take a little break.
So, everyone have a great Halloween!

Tiny Dancer
"Turning back, she just laughs,
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man, he makes his stand in the auditorium
Looking on, she sings the songs
The words she knows
The tunes she hums"
Normally, I'm not awake this early. Technically, I'm up extra-late. I haven't really been to sleep yet. My mom called after 5 this morning to tell me our Aunt Brenda had passed early this morning. She has battled cancer for years. She was a very sweet woman. She was always active; she constantly did yard work or made quilts. She was the type of lady who let her grandkid and nieces take her little car out to drive loops around the road she lived on. She took us to Portfest every year. So, although shes pain-free now, I won't be the only one who's missing her. See ya later, Bren.

Heart Full of Wine
"Silver moon feeling high
Through the window beneath the door
Her eyes are so kind
With nothing left to pour
To pour"
--Angus and Julia Stone
Man, today felt like winter. It was chilly this morning but not the bitter cold that will come later on this year; the sky was gray. I, myself, love fall and we haven't had much of one. The days when its a little cold and you need a jacket but the sun is still out.
Since I am almost always behind on the news, it was only today that I found out about the suspension of the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy within the military. I've been watching the subject and I never dreamed that all the rallying would achieve its cause this quick; I'm so excited about it! I watched a conference Lady Gaga was at and was apalled, in a good way, at how fervently she spoke for the LGBT community and about the policy that keeps them from being "out" while serving in the armed forces. I'm really looking forward to the album she announced at the VMA's this year "Born this Way." I got some chillbumps when she sang a few lines.
I've been pretty busy the past couple days with school. I thought I was catching a break and that I wouldn't have to spend all my free time studying but that didn't last long. I now have to learn all the muscles of the body and everything that goes with them. Plus, I'm going ahead and starting to prepare for my next big Anatomy and Physiology test because I would like to make an A on it.
Keep it classy, blog-world :)

You're So Vain
"I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and..."
-The one and only Carly Simon
I'm not really sure why but when I listen to this song I have flashes from my life at age 45 and it involves me on a chaise lounge with a martini in my hand and collagen in my lips.
First off, I've never had a martini and they don't sound appealing. Second of all I'm scared of needles so I'm not sure how the collagen is gonna work. But....this is my vivid imagination. I can write about my imagination in blogs, whereas I can't on Facebook because if I did the word on the street the next day would be that I'm a plastic-surgery addicted alcoholic. :) Don't ya just love gossip?
This week was stressful; I'll leave it at that. But it was my stress to bear and that pleases me. I had a good weekend to make up for it. On Friday, I didn't do squat. I slept in and was like a hobo for a day and I loved every minute of it. Saturday night was spent with Ashlyn and Alex. We had a good time just "vegging out" and watching scary movies. This week should be easy and I'm looking forward to that.
As far as a journal goes, this is about as close as it gets for me. I'm not really one to keep written accounts of everything. I have started doing something that I find relaxing and clever. It's called "what I've learned today" and I write something I learned (or revisited) that day. Could be a quote or a random sentence. If I keep it up, I think it'll be nice to look over from time to time. Since I have only a few followers, I can post this exclusive list and I might try to keep it up. Might.
10/10: George Orwell's real name was Eric Blair.
11: Sometimes it takes you nearly forever to realize the people you thought mattered the most, don't really matter at all.
13: You go into periods of "microsleep" after being awake for 72+ hours.
15: If you have to do something desperate to get it, you probably don't need it that bad.
Just a few of them.
Hasta luego!

Hemorrhage
"i hold it now
i feel contagious
am i the only place that you've left to go
she cries that life is like some movie black and white"
-Fuel
Its been one of those weekends. I've had a blast hanging with friends but I learned more than I bargained for. Anywho, I'm so close to boycotting facebook. I get to the point where I think I've built up the courage to delete it and then I just can't. Its like the relationship between the battered woman and her abusive husband...I just keep going back for more! I'm trying to free myself of any drama and I realized that I have hardly any myself. I have other people's drama that kinda gets shucked off on me. So I'm cutting that out. Facebook is a major drama hub so I'm trying to use it as little as possible. I think everyone's become so reliant on it as a source of gossip and I hate to say that I've spent hours perusing (aka creeping) profiles. I went on a cleanse today and deleted quite a few people. I'm hoping to get it down where I only have people I actually see/talk to regularly on my friends list. My second A&P exam is Wednesday and true to form, I've already spent many hours studying and there are many more to come. So all my extra time from non-facebooking can leave me w/ my head in a book. Bill Clinton is coming to UACCB tomorrow...wonder if hes bringing Monica?

"Throw your dollar bills and leave your thrills all here with me,
Speak but don't pretend, I won't defend you anymore you see."
--Seether (my favorite frontman Shaun Morgan....mmmm:)
I haven't written anything in awhile, although its been eventful around here. Lets see....first off: I had a bit of a stalker. He was really just a creeper but he was just this side of getting a stalker status. He followed my friends around the UACCB campus looking for me and trying to get them to tell him where I was....CREEEPPPPY. I still hide from him. He isn't bothering me these days so I feel pretty good about it.
Some very good news I have involves a certain Anatomy and Physiology test grade.....I made an 80.5B. I would call that an 81 but my professor doesn't see it that way; you can really tell what an ass he is by that alone. Anyway, there were only 3 B's in the entire class and I'm proud to say that one of them belongs to me. I earned that bad boy too! There were 13 F's. The rest were probably D's.
I've spent quite a bit of time at my mom's here lately. She got a dog; its the spawn of satan. It eats my shoes/socks/feet/pant's legs for breakfast.
Its October, which might be my favorite month. Its a top contender. I LOVE Halloween. I went to an ok Halloween party last year and I didn't get a costume when I love dressing up. This year I want a costume and as of right now have nowhere to go. At least this year I won't have to hold Sheila's hair back while she barfs in the bushes at the Taco Bell drive thru. It was a classy halloween, the kind where I was the sober chaueffer(which sounds classier than DD) :)
