Procrastinating


     I finally have all my big papers done!! =D *barely containing excitement* only two more weeks then FREEDOM!!!!! I’m technically supposed to be studying at the moment, I have two tests tomorrow…no big deal o.O but I can’t focus; my mind is everywhere except where it needs to be. Nothing makes a person fall asleep faster than reading a textbook.  I think my nephew’s energy is wiping off on me; it’s so funny to watch him. You tell him no and he looks at you and does it anyway, he’s only a year old I can’t imagine what the terrible twos will be like.
     I found an amazing new artist on Youtube, Lindsay Stirling you have to watch this, its flippin’ amazing!! http://youtu.be/pRPOztxXWlQ Just promise you’ll check it out or I’ll throw something at you. I know what you’re thinking, “How can she throw something at me? I’m on the other side of the world and she has no idea where that is and can’t throw things through a computer…” Right? Haha no, trust me I have my ways, it can be done, and for all you know I know where you live, it may even be next door so I wouldn’t get my hopes up with self deceiving lies. Basic point: I can and there’s nothing you can do about it >=] MUAHAHAHA ha hahha acoaohgaksdfnajsdfkjhawfj cough cough soooooo after that maniacal evil rant of mine you’re probably feeling just a little disconcerted and a bit awkward well in an effort not to push you beyond your mental capacity I will refrain from further threats (For now 0.0 hmmm…). Watching the video will still put you on my good side, trust me; I’ll know.
     Soooo Christmas is coming up and I know you’re just as excited as I am. We got our tree up but so far have failed to do much else decorating-wise to our house. But it cast pretty sparkles with its twinkle lights so it’s over shining its boundaries and filling the whole room and admittedly picking up the slack left behind in the tubs still sitting in the middle of the floor. My whole family (except for the one year old of course) is in college, and we’ve all been so busy lately and finals are coming up were lucky there’s room to live among the clutter left. I’m surprised I haven’t drowned yet, we may have lost the cat (just kidding, or am I?). I’m excited for Christmas, for celebrating Jesus, his birth and all it entails!! =D If you don’t know or can’t share that same sentiment, I pray for you. Another part of Christmas I’m looking forward too I gifts but not mine, my nephews. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve rewatched his favorite movies, chief among them Kung Fu Panda, How to Train a Dragon, Cars, and Megamind. The latter two skip and so now we’re constantly having to get up to get the remote. When the TV stops the evil toddler begins. He makes his rounds getting into everything he’s been told not to get in until his movie is fixed or a new one is put on, as long as its one of his movies. If it’s not one of is then he cries. He doesn’t always get his way but most of the time I don’t get to watch my movies until he goes to bed, but at least I get to watch them at all, some not as often as I would like due to the preferences of the rest of my family. We don’t always share the same interests, I’m sure that’s nothing new to the rest of the people in the world. I’m just hoping he’ll get some new movies to fall in love with, I’m beyond burn out I’d like some new ones to have the chance to get killed by playing over and over.
I’m in a state of twisted humor at present. I feel as though I have a double sided mind, the sensible and the evil mastermind that’s been left unsupervised far too long. One moment I’m perfectly fine talking of sunshine, Christmas, and college. Then I’m talking about attacking people that don’t listen (watch that video!) or throwing something at the cat and looking away quickly, whistling all nonchalant like. Psh, I’d never do something like that… okay maybe once or twice so kill me, he never liked me anyway and I’m more of a dog person. I think he sensed that from the very beginning, we’ve never been very nice to each other. My dog on the other hand loves me to pieces. He’s the most amazing dog ever!!
I just finished reading a book! It’s Fallen by Lauren Kate, it’s a really good book, a whole new take on the subject. It’s a new taste into that topic (I’m being vague as to not give anything away). I’m generally not a romance lover, all that mushy-gushy stuff sends me running but Lauren Kate is good at giving it a tint of love with action and suspense all together. It’s a little different from most of the books I read but its still a good book, written well, and I would totally recommend it. 
I’ve been in a poetry fling recently, taking my breaks during my school schedule to scour the library. Authors like Edgar Allan Poe, Keats, Yeats, Lord Byron, Tennyson, and Kipling though he writes mostly books and short stories, they’re my favorites. I love reading their poems and letters. My tastes seem to be in the melancholy flavored texts, or at times beauty and love. I love the way they write, talk, and describe things in the world around them; people just don’t talk like that anymore. I’m not a fan of text talk and short hands and aints and all those things, though I am part of the generation that’s been flooded and is now drowning by it; I choose not to use it. I guess it’s just one of my many quirks. =] I read a lot its one of my favorite things to do. I guess I read so much that I talk and write like what I take in. I don’t text very often, mostly because I don’t have very many people worth talking too or that respond with any regularity. So the majority of things I take in are not filled with text lingo, acronyms, and all those blights in our English language. I’m ranting again aren’t I?
I think I’ve written enough for the moment, so to offer some closer before I get off PSYCH!!! BYE!!! XD

Thanksgiving/ Holiday Ranting


     Now I have three papers done, one small one left. I’m glad to finally get a break, Thanksgiving is such a relief. You get good food, out of school, and you get to see family. Unless you’re one of those people that just kind of tolerate most of your family then I guess it’s not that big of a relief for you but I don’t really mind. It’s only a few times a year anyhow. I just moved to where I am now, so I’m closer to family that I’ve been away from for a long time. I missed them so it’s nice to see then no matter how scary they can be. I’ve been kind of stressed it feels that all I have done for over a month now is right papers. I love writing and I don’t mind research papers but having four due in one month, like I mentioned in my last post, isn’t what I had in mind. I just can’t wait until I go for the graduate degrees and get to write 20 page papers *sarcasm intended*. I’m not looking forward to the dissertation but if I want the Doctorate degree and to be a professor it’s kind of required. I’m thankful for a lot of things this Thanksgiving, even though there are plenty of stresses plaguing my mind, there have been several reliefs and good times that help ease the stress. Except for the fact that it’s not even Thanksgiving yet and there’s already Christmas music on the radio which isn’t helped by the fact I have a mother and best friend that love Christmas music. I wouldn’t mind so much at Christmas but before Thanksgiving seems a little extreme to me. I guess I didn’t inherit my mother’s penchant of holiday cheer. I love Christmas and its true meaning; I would just like to celebrate a little closer to when it was actually happening. Like during the same month would be a good start X]. Maybe I’m just being quote “bah-humbug” but seriously, we just got to Thanksgiving. Anyway, enough of the holiday ranting… for the moment; HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!! =D

Relief Granted and Stolen


Relief is such an amazing feeling; I mentioned in my bio that I’m a college student. And because of that I have 4 papers due this month. I’m experiencing a new sense of relief because I’ve now finished two. I’ve been really worried about the second because the university wasn’t letting me check out books apparently some people have issues with fines or something. I don’t think twelve dollars is that big of a deal it was only a month late XD. But I finally got a book, I had to do a book review which was mostly a summary and then I had to do an analysis. I wrote five pages today over a book I hadn’t actually read so I’m feeling pretty good about it. I tried to read it but there just wasn’t enough time by the time I got the book. It doesn’t help that I love reading and I love history but I don’t much care for reading history books kind of weird but I need the story, something to draw me in just listing facts and info its not the same. But still its finished, and now I have to do two more but I’ll wait to panic about those until next week, they shouldn’t be too hard ones 5 pages, kind of the standard and the other is even better its only 2-3 pages and I don’t have to cite any other works for it, I only need an opinion which comes easily enough to everyone. =D Something though that takes a little bit of the relief away is the fact my sister has started talking about getting married within the next year and is planning everything, its going to be fantastic! I just love weddings, and wearing dresses, especially if they have ruffles!  *sarcasm intended* I think I’d rather go to a funeral than a wedding, at least there’s not a maid of honor (my title to be) at funerals just people wearing black which looks good on me anyways =] People cry at both, and I hate crying so both have their own sets of torments but I still think the wedding might be worse, might.  Don't get me wrong I'm happy for my sister just not all to thrilled about the dress part, I wonder if she'd kill me if I sabotaged it the night before? tempting...

Beginings


This being my first post should be something monumental but this is me were talking about after all so we’ll just have to settle. This blog is titled In a Thousand Years and it will contain all the things my hearts aspires to dream, my longings, wishes, and any thought that runs across my mind in the middle. PENGUIN!! Maybe it should’ve been CHEETAH!! because penguins aren't really that good at running. *self-amused smirk*
But anyways, this blog will be my penchants of life, the perspicacity I find, and the creativeness in which I accomplish it. There may be hazardous, life threatening tasks, heart tempting, breath taking moments and also sighs omg but not in a screaming girls “OH MAH GOSH!! x3,” way but as in a “oh my gosh she really did that didn’t she,” usually involving laughs or a smack to the forehead (which I wouldn’t recommend, kind of hurts) . But aren't those the blessings in life, the happy laughs that brighten our murky days? (That was rhetorical; if you said “no” then I may just have to kill you).
There may be times in which I use big words or smart phrases, in which I will not admit whether it was done on purpose to show off or if it was done because of the vast extent of my vocabulary. I guess you’ll either get bored and leave, never to return to this blog again; remain and hide a dictionary under all the plethora of garbage “important papers” on your desk to pull out on the sly so you can keep up; or you will be one of the few people that either can keep up without breaking a sweat or even post your opinions and make me look unintelligent, that would be something wouldn't it. I will not judge either way, I was there once except for the exceptional smarts which I have failed to gain thus far. It could be because of things randoml-SQUIRREL!! . . . popping into my head and running off with my mind and any focus I had to offer the current thought. Still not sure.
But still enjoy the reading or watching me flounder either way, this is after all my very first blog and I am an unexperienced blogger. Yet here I am trying anyway, I hope this will be interesting for you and me. Well I know I’ll have fun, if it isn’t obvious already I write a lot. It must be because I lead and isolated, anti-social life, all these words have to come out somewhere.
