listening to bob marley makes me want to do drugs. just throwing that out there.
i want to go on vacation. i haven't been ANYWHERE since we got back from mexico in september. not even on a weekend trip. i get claustrophobic in this apartment. it's just so small.
i brought a bunch of stuff out to work on a project and i have done nothing. except make a mess, natch. maybe i'll get on that. after i finish my chips. chips come first.
i think allie is bored with me. she keeps getting up to come over here just to look at me and sigh. then she walks back across the room. diva.
oh yeah. i'm graduating thursday at 11am. WHOO! so early...

superstar
I'm watching britney: for the record. i never want to be famous. that looks exhausting.
i have 3 days of college class left as an undergrad. that's kindaaa crazy. especially when i don't know what i'm gonna do after graduation. it's like i should be stepping into a new chapter and moving on with things, but the only thing that is changing is that i won't go to school everyday anymore. i need a job. stupid economy. but at the same time... i feel like i'm trying to go in the right direction. i don't want to take a job just because it will pay my bills. i don't want to go down a path that i could get caught up in and not like. i know that i don't want to wake up in 5 or 10 years and wonder what i'm doing with my life and have to start over. i want to do it right this time around.
i'm really sleepy. i didn't sleep well last night. ick! i hate when i don't sleep like i should. it ruins my whole day.
23 days til christmas. 16 days til graduation. whoo!

OBAMA 2008!!!!
hurray!
I am extremely disappointed in those that supported Obama... up until it was actually time to vote. By either just not going or falling victim to the "Bradley effect" (I didn't know that was actually possible, but thank you all for proving me wrong), you did a disservice to yourself and to the country. I'm also disappointed in all the Facebook "status updates" about how Obama is a terrorist, he is going to kill babies, and small businesses won't be able to function under his tax plan.
Wake up America. Abortion is already legal, it isn't going anywhere. Obama is trying to HELP small businesses, not hurt them. In my opinion, if you're making $250k PROFIT (not revenue), you can pay more taxes. That is a lot of money. Why would you NOT pay more money than people that are making $10-50k a year?
It's also offensive that people assume that some voted for Obama just because it was the "cool" thing to do and that we should "regret" it and that "in 4 years, we'll see...".
What?
I'm sure some people did that. Whatever. You may have voted for McCain because your parents did. You may have voted for him because you couldn't imagine a black president in office (I live in South Carolina, I heard this at least 15 times yesterday). Most people don't follow the issues like they should before making an educated vote. That's democracy. Oh well.
But to say that is why everyone voted for Obama? Please. Some of us actually followed the issues and have been following Obama's career since he was elected to Senate in 2006. Some of us have been following John McCain since he ran in 2000. Some of us are political science majors and do this everyday of their life. But that's mostly just me.
Everyone that voted has an equal say in the outcome. I commend everyone that voted and I'm truly sorry if your candidate didn't win. I would be equally upset if McCain had made a victory speech last night instead of Obama. But, America, it didn't happen. I keep hearing how a vote for Obama wasn't "patriotic" and it wasn't "a vote for the country".
Guess what is patriotic? Guess what is good for your country?
Supporting your president-elect. He WILL be your president. He is now a world leader (and the world overwhelmingly supported him over McCain). On January 20, 2009 change will be coming to America. Show some respect to people that support him and show respect for the democratic process.

tomorrow! tomorrow!
and election day is in...
8 hours!!
most polls don't open until 7am, but whatever. i'm excited!! this election is historic. it may be the beginning of the end of the republican party. america could have its first black president. it could have its first female VP... although i hope not.
the only thing for certain at this point is that turnout will hit record-breaking numbers. in america, a "good" turnout is considered to be around 50%, and that is somewhat rare. i don't understand WHY people don't care enough to go out and vote. even my own fiance doesn't want to vote because he thinks that his "vote won't count". yes, we live in a very red state. yes, it is highly unlikely that obama will take SC.
but the 2000 election was decided by a little over 500 votes. how could you think you don't matter? how can people say that they don't count??
regardless of your party or ideology, just go vote.

i wish i lived in california. for a myriad of reasons, but for right now, so i could vote on that proposition. i don't understand why people care who other people marry.
ap says that obama is only up by one point right now. the election is in two weeks, so the fact that the race is getting tighter is to be expected, but it really scares me... if mccain wins i might just move to canada. THEY have universal healthcare. and if he dies in office i'm DEFINITELY moving to canada. i will be a happy little ex-pat.

i heart disney
i'm aware the next sentence i type is going to make me sound like a loser, but i don't care:
disney is releasing pinocchio on blu-ray next year!!! and THEN snow white, fantasia and beauty and the beast!!!!!!!
i could not be more excited. my disney movie collection is one of the best things i own. although, until today, i didn't know that "platinum edition" actually meant something. i just thought it was like platinum=good. right? nope. only the top selling disney dvds are released in platinum. it started with an original 10 and expands yearly. they now release 2 a year. 101 dalmatians and sleeping beauty came out this year. i'm now only buying new movies in blu ray so sleeping beauty is my first :) hurray!

treasure hunt

i shouldn't blog before i've had caffeine
I guess I should explain my last post. France doesn't suck; having to learn everything about the country in a few short days and give a presentation on it sucks. And writing the 10 page paper about it will suck as well.
Didn't VH1 and CMT used to play videos in the mornings? And MTV as well? Shouldn't music channels actually play music every once in a while? No?
I should be getting ready for work.
My stomach hurts.
Scott got one of the new iPod touch players and I'm extremely jealous. Really. I'm usually not into tech-y stuff like that but it's fascinating. I might just hold out for an iPhone though. He said it was his engagement present... I told him I was his engagement present and he laughed. hmmm.
new wedding venue possibility: the ritz in greensboro, ga. scott said ga is a stupid state. mature.

dreary day :(
ok. it works. and i can see the words now, which i couldn't do before. all is good.
it is a NASTY day outside. we need rain but i don't like it. allie doesn't either. she won't go outside when it rains. diva.
sooo... i used to blog all the time. freshman/sophomore year of college i would blog everything. it was fun until i started getting cyber stalked and kept getting weird comments from weird people. so i stopped. that, and it stopped being fun. then i started a xanga earlier this year, but i lost interest.
BUT. i decided that i needed to blog now. i am currently planning a wedding... and i think i want to remember this! at least i hope i will. there isn't much to say about it at the moment. we have picked a date, and a city (we think) but that's about it. when your wedding is 19 months away, there isn't too much rush to plan. that, and i have been... blessed... with a fiance that has absolutely no interest in the wedding. i'm pretty sure i could suggest getting married in iceland in january and he would keep his eyes firmly focused on his xbox game and say "whatever".
yep. wedding planning has done something for me already. it has made me hate the word "whatever". i hate apathy. but of course, when he does give his opinion we tend to disagree. so i'm not asking him anymore. i'll go with the whatever.
i thought i had found a dress. but i showed my mom and she said "ewwww". so back to the drawing board on that one. i also thought i had found bridesmaids dresses. but scott nixed the idea of a fall wedding. so i have to start over on that one too.
i don't have much else to say. i'm pretty sure the only firm decision that i've made is that i want to use calla lillies for the flowers. they're my favorite.
that's all for now.
