Ben Gibbard, please write another song about my life. I need to know how this mess ends!

So, a little update on my life:
1. I am working between 30 and 40 hours a week and going to school 20+ hours a week. Yeah. Really. I'm at my school working and going to class for 12 hours a day, Tuesday through Thursday. It's insanity!
2. I officially qualify as obsessed with cosmetics. I'll spare you the details, but the summary is: Lush, Sephora, and the M.A.C. Pro Store plus waaay too much money.
3. I'm doing a photo shoot this Saturday that I'm starting to get a bit stressed out about. I'm doing makeup and it's for a website called Shabby Apple. If anyone runs into me in the next few days and I seem out of sorts, blame it on that and some lady things for which I am cursing my insurance company vehemently.
4. Adam and I have decided to get a cat. I am freaking excited. I love animals and sadly Elisa and her doggie are moving out this winter, leaving Adam and I pet-less. So we've decided to get a kitten. I'm not going to lie, about 90% of our decision was based on this video: The Cutest Video of All Time (It really does live up to it's name). Adam has expressed wanting a long haired cat, I think I want short haired. I definitely want it to be gray or white or a mix of both though. So the kitten search will commence as soon as my Christmas break starts and I have more time at home for things other than sleep.
5. On the topic of roommates, Jenee and Dane are moving in downstairs come January and I couldn't be more pleased! I love those crazy kids. And they're talking about possibly getting a pug so kitty (whom I want to name Basket, by the way, which Adam disapproves of) will have a friend. And hopefully they will get along. Friends, not frenemies.
6. I'm really going to miss Elisa.
7. School is really not going fast enough. I'm at 600 hours out of 2000. Night school takes soooo much longer than day school!

That's it for now really. Life is hectic and free time is limited these days but overall I'm enjoying myself and thoroughly appreciative of the people I do see in the moments between darting here and there.

Well, by far the best Happy Birthday I've gotten so far is from one Ben Paris as follows:



hahaha

As far as presents go, I got a new set of scriptures from my parents! I'm actually really pleased with this gift. My mom noticed a few weeks ago that my old scriptures, which I got at my baptism on my 8th birthday (literally 13 years ago today), were falling apart. So for my 21st birthday, I got new ones. I'm actually really excited to go through these ones and mark my favorites and all that jazz. Can I say jazz when I'm talking about scriptures? Hmm

Anyway, it's been a good day. I love my friends. I love my family. My life is coming together fiiiinally and I'm pretty darn happy. Yay birthdays!

I'll say sorry, but I'm not taking off my glasses

So, a FEW things today.

Firstly, this morning sucked hardcore. Mainly because sometimes being a girl sucks hardcore. But then miraculously to brighten the otherwise dreary morning, there was Corey Delaney in all his glasses awesomeness. I laughed for hours over this. And then got my mom laughing over it as well. This makes me miss Australia a wee bit more. See for yourself:



I think I need this tshirt:



haha, I love it!

Alright, secondly, just for all of you who may be bloggers or avid blog readers, I know I'm behind the times, but I've found out about this thing that makes my blog reading faaantastic. It's called Google reader. If you have a Google account you can use it to have all your friends' blog updates in one convenient little place. If you need or just want a Gmail account, let me know. I still have 98 invitations left.

Today I've been listening almost non stop to Land of Talk. You can stream some of their music off their site. They've just really been hitting the spot today for some reason. Helped me get a lot of work done.

Ok, so lastly, before I go watch some 30 Rock - which, by the way, is the funniest show on TV right now, and one of the only things I watch regularly - I had a flashback discussion with Brandon last night. We recapped all the best Nickelodeon shows that were on when we were kids. I don't know how many of you remember this show, but man, I'd like to see some Rocko's Modern Life right about now. Or maybe some old school Doug. TV was so great when we were kids! What happened?

Alright, enough rambling for tonight.

Sweet dreams my syrupy little canned peaches.
