Glee, Vol. One: Road to Sectionals
By Matthew Morrison, Jane Lynch
see relatedI can't thank you enough...
Have you ever noticed with the phrase
"I can't thank you enough..."
That the person never seems to be really thanking you.
Because "I can't thank you enough..."
Is usually instead of doing anything at all to thank you.
Not that you should expect anything
When doing a good deed.
But seriously,
Sometimes you've done a HUGE favor
For someone that you really care about
(Ex: Someone you like...)
And then they stand face to face with you
They look you straight in the eyes
And you lean in a little bit...
Thinking
"Yes! They finally understand, we're totally meant for each other!"
And they lean in a little bit...
And they say:
"I can't thank you enough..."
And you want to yell:
"YES YOU BLOODY CAN!!!"
And you could list all the ways that they could thank you enough.
Flowers would work,
So would chocolate,
Monetary reimbursement,
A kiss perhaps,
A date this Friday evening...
WHATEVER!
Anything is better than "I can't thank you enough..."
The logical end to that sentence being:
"I can't thank you enough...so I won't even try at all."
So if you catch a friend using this technique,
Tell them like it is:
Yeah, yeah you can thank me enough.
Let me tell you how.
And that's when you pull out your list.
The list of every little (or extravagantly huge) thing that would make it up to you.
And that's how you beat the game.
Damnit...I just lost the game...

Runaway Bride (Widescreen Edition)
By Julia Roberts, Richard Gere, Joan Cusack, Hector Elizondo, Marvin Braverman
see relatedA Jog Well Done
For the last two nights I've been leaving my dorm around 1am...
To jog.
This is odd for me.
Very, very odd.
I do not care too much for exercise.
As in I've been able to talk myself out of exercise
About as often as I've talked myself out of going to class...
And, according to my high school attendance record,
Is a lot.
But at 1am I trudge my way out to the track around the soccer field.
I put my "^_^" playlist on my mp3 player and turn it up all the way.
And then I jog.
Okay, well...
More like spaz-dance-jog around.
And since it's 1am,
No one's out there to see.
Which is AMAZING.
I've had concerts at the top of the huge staircase,
I've done the moonwalk on the soccer field,
I've lip-synced at track jumps.
It's the best time of my day...
Even though it's technically the next day already.
There's just something about being so crazy and comfortable in a public place
That just really makes me so serene.
It's a beautiful feeling.
I'm going to go study for my finals now...

And Sometimes I Forget...
So, I'm finally done with my week.
Which has felt really stressful, but probably hasn't been.
I had FOUR bloody tests...
I ONLY HAVE THREE FRIDAY CLASSES!!!
And two of the three were in different classrooms than usual.
It's like they're trying to stress me out.
NEWSFLASH:
As I'm sitting here writing this I'm watching Monk on USA,
And they announce that next is the
SERIES FINALE OF MONK!?!?!?!?
Por quoi!?
Oh, and click this link...And don't keep waiting for the page to load...It's done...It blew my mind.
http://iamawesome.com/
I think my life is falling apart in little tiny crumbly pieces.
First my classes are in different places,
Then I have four tests,
Then ABC tells me that I don't get to watch The Chamber of Secrets until tomorrow,
AND THEN MONK IS GOING TO BE DONE FOREVER!???!???
Why they gotta do 'dis ta me!?
Whatever.
What I really came to blog about dinner tonight.
It was fun.
Like, really entertaining, almost felt like being back in the art room.
*Side note*
My friends and I, as upperclassmen, used to used to eat lunch in the art room to avoid the younguns.
Good memories.
*End side note*
It was fun, funny, entertaining...
Just yes.
I had way too much fun.
And it suddenly felt comfortable.
I just kind of wish...
That it could be that way all the time.

Can't Stop Won't Stop
By The Maine
Into Your Arms
see relatedJust Another Day in Para[somnia]
Parasomnia - Any of several disorders that frequently interfere with sleep, occurring especially among children and including sleepwalking, night terrors, nightmares, and insomnia.
My Parasomnia - A mixture of nightmares and insomnia.
Problem - When I can sleep I dream about horrible, horrible things. When I don't dream of horrible, horrible things...I don't sleep.
Solutions -
A: Sleeping aid.
Problem: It makes me groggy in the morning.
B: Not eating before bed.
Problem: I tend to stay up pretty late to finish homework and I get the munchies around 11 pm...it's difficult to stay awake if I don't snag a quick snack.
C: Suck it up and be a big girl.
Problem: I don't WANNA!
Okay, so I know it's ridiculous, me being an 18-year-old who's afraid of nightmares...
But that doesn't make them any less daunting.
Also, since my dorm flooded, I wake up to the ever-present smell of molding carpet.
They keep telling me they're going to have the carpets cleaned...but that doesn't seem to be happening so I have to leave my window open.
Which kind of makes it FREEZING in here.
So here I am, not sleeping, feeling like someone's drained all the life out of me, and trying to focus during finals week.
My only saving graces?
-Watching Glee, House, and Psych on Hulu
-Drinking hot chocolate (Stolen from the rec. centers cabinets...)
-Blow drying my clothes before I wear them
-And having people call me on my corded dorm phone...mostly so I can wrap the cord around my fingers...
What are your saving graces when you feel not so bueno?

Words of Green-dom
"Did you know that for pretty much the entire history of the human species, the average life span was less than thirty years? You could count on ten years or so of real adulthood, right? There was no planning for retirement, There was no planning for a career. There was no planning. No time for plannning. No time for a future. But then the life spans started getting longer, and people started having more and more future. And now life has become the future. Every moment of your life is lived for the future--you go to high school so you can go to college so you can get a good job so you can get a nice house so you can afford to send your kids to college so they can get a good job so they can get a nice house so they can afford to send their kids to college." - Quentin from Paper Towns by John Green
I just thought I'd share that quote with you.
Very profound, no?
