Update

Hey all!

Wowza. School has been hectic! I'm now on a semester system (so that means instead of starting in SEPTEMBER, I started in AUGUST) and it's only week 5 (<-- T_T) There's about... 16 weeks in a semester, I believe. 

Ugh. 

I'm all settled in my apartment back in Minnesota and I have to say, I miss Washington. I miss my mom, alot. But, that being said, what's that saying? "Distance makes the heart grow fonder". Well, my heart is quite fond of where it was! 

I recently upgraded my iPhone! I now have the 6s. I refuse to get the 7, because that thing isn't a phone--it's a mini tablet. 

Anway... There isn't really much to say, just that I've been studying for about 18+ hours, so that's plenty of fun. 

Anyway, I better get back at it.

Moving

Hey all, 

In case you didn't know, I'm moving back to Minnesota! I grew up there and have always loved it there--especially the winters. I know, I know... Most of you are thinking, "You're CRAZY!". 

Now as I sit here, typing this, I'm looking around at my empty room and realizing that the day is almost here. I leave Sunday afternoon and my life is all packed away in my living room. I don't know what I'm feeling, because I guess it hasn't fully set in yet. 

I asked my mom when it'll fully kick in and she said, "When you're in the truck and you're on the road" Usually happens. Hopefully, Hannibal will take the travelling okay... 

Also, sorry about the format of the last blog! Super weird! 

Anyway, I've better get back at it.

Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift

Hey all, 

So I'm guessing all of you have heard the news--if you haven't, you must be living under a rock or don't give a shit-- but anyway, a picture of Tom and Taylor was released and they were kissing. 

Hiddleston fans were and still are FURIOUS. They're acting like it shouldn't happen and how butt hurt they are. 

Seriously, you guys. It's time to pull on your big kid panties and get the fuck over it. Act like adults. If Tom is happy, then his fans should be happy. If they break up, then oh well. 

It's not the end of the world. If you truly are a Hiddleston fan, then instead of getting all butt hurt about him dating T-Swift, SUPPORT HIM AND BE HAPPY ABOUT IT! If Tom is happy, THEN BE HAPPY FOR HIM. 

That's what a TRUE FAN DOES. 

For fucks sake. I've complained about this on my Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, AND my Facebook. Seriously. Get. Over. It. 

That's all for now,

Update!

Hey all, 


I should do something productive, like continue packing and putting my laundry away, but fanfiction sounds so much better. For real, though, and trying not to snuggle the cat that's currently outside my window. Because, why not? 

Meh. I think I'll continue reading fanfiction and watching my fish (Whose name is Hannibal Lecter. Yes, I know, I could have named him anything else, but I simply ADORE Hannibal). That's not the point.  

The point, however, is... 

I GRADUATED COLLEGE! Whoop! No longer am I an undergraduate. I now have my Bachelors of Arts in History and a minor in English. 

Now, the question is, what am I going to do with myself? Well, if you know me, then you'll know that I hate staying in one place for too long. It's time for me to move on, so therefore, I am packing all my belongings and moving to Minnesota. There, I will get my AAAS (Associates in Applied Arts Science) in Medical Coding, and THEN *Breath* I'll be going onto grad school to become a LIBRARIAN! My dream is to work in the Library of Congress. Maybe I'll live abroad. I want to study in Scotland or England... Maybe Ireland. I don't know yet. 

Whew. That was a lot, wasn't it? Anyway, I had better go and be productive... Boo. 

More later!

Update

Hey all, 

Long time no see, eh? Sorry, I've been stupidly busy with school. With graduation right around the corner, life has been busy. I'm moving back to the Midwest and going back to school out there, and hopefully be getting my Masters after. 

It feels like a full circle. Why? Because I left the Midwest when I was 16, and now I'm moving back. Hopefully, I'll end up living somewhere in the East Coast. I've always wanted to visit the Library of Congress, so maybe I'll save up and go visit sometime. 

Also, in case you didn't hear, Prince died. He was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, actually! and that's where he died. 

I'm happy to be leaving the dorms and getting my own place. I'll be away from my mommy, though. Ha. I can't live at home forever. 

Anyway, I've started rollerblading again! Yes, people still do that and yes, they still make them. I'm also watching New Girl. I love that show. Also, I binge watched The Ranch last night. All 10 episodes. It was great. I love Sam Elliott. Great one-liners. 

I think that's all I have for now. Sorry if my posts aren't as frequent--but like I said earlier, graduation is coming and school is becoming more demanding. At least I still have time to read. 

Oh! Also, the school that I'm going to in the Midwest is on a SEMESTER system. Meaning, they start in August, whereas a QUARTER system, they start in late September. Yes, this will be a big change because I've always been on a quarter system. 

Anywho...

Walking Dead

Hey all,

If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm a HUGE Walking Dead fan. Literally, obsessed. I've read ALL the comics, I've watched EVERY SINGLE SEASON, I probably know more about the show than somebody who just likes it. Ha.

Ahem. Anyway...

The reason I'm doing this blog is because...

THAT'S RIGHT, BOYS AND GIRLS!!!! WALKING DEAD RETURNS FOR THE MIDSEASON FINALE ON VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!

When other people are going to be out with their partner(s), I'm going to be waiting for Walking Dead to come back on, eating my Krispy Kremes. Because hey, who doesn't like Krispy Kremes? This is going to be me on Valentine's Day:

I'm like that EVERY SUNDAY when Walking Dead was on. They got renewed for a SEVENTH SEASON! But that's all the way in October... So, in order to curb my cravings for Walking Dead, I'll watch:

In case none of you know, Fear of the Walking Dead is set in Los Angeles, and it shows how the zombie virus got started. Robert Kirkman, when asked if there was going to be a crossover between the original crew and the Fear crew, he said, "No". With good reason, I assume. This show is really interesting and I'm happy to see that they got renewed for a second season! 

But anyway, that's not what this blog is about. 

Can I just take a moment to talk about Morgan? What the hell, man?! Not killing anymore? DON'T YOU SEE WHAT IT'S DOING TO EVERYBODY ELSE?! And taking a Wolf capture? Dumbshit. I mean, Carol, however, she did what needed to be done. 

Congratulations, Carol. I tip my hat to you, you badass. 

The Priest. UGH! That damn bastard, I hope that he dies. He should have died, he's come close to being zombie chow SEVERAL TIMES! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, PRODUCERS!??! I'm hating him more than I hated Lori!! Do you know that we all hate the priest and want to keep us in agony over the fact that you're keeping him alive?!?!

I wonder how they're going to handle Maggie's pregnancy. Judith's storyline. I wonder if they're going to stick close to the comic and Carl finally loses his eye. I'm happy that Sam (That little prick. I'm glad he's going to die--hopefully! Along with his mother, Jesse... Ugh...) is leaving the show. I mean, who talks when they're trying to escape zombies?!?! LET'S BE REAL NOW! 

Now. Let's talk about Negan. Who, is going to be played by one of my all time favorite actors: Jeffrey Dean Morgan. AKA: Papa Winchester. 

I freakin' LOVE JEFFERY DEAN MORGAN! He's the PERFECT (well, in my humble opinion), actor to play Negan. But what does this mean for Glenn? When we all thought that he died when Nicholas shot himself and dragged Glenn into the hoard of zombie's below, that was rough. But... In the comics... SPOILERS! Negan bashes Glenn's brains in with his baseball bat, Lucille. Poor Glenn... He just can't catch a break, can he? Season 7 is going to be about Negan, and he may be revealed in the very last episode of season 6. Norman Reedus, (Who plays the lovely Daryl Dixon <-- AKA: My future husband) says that we'll be seeing A LOT more Daryl (FINALLY), and Andrew Lincoln (Who plays Rick), says that there will be more scenes with both him and Norman. I'm PUMPED about that. Daryl hasn't been getting a lot of screen time, lately. 

Anyway... Walking Dead returns 2/14! You know I'll be watching.

Double Standards

Hi all,

Have you ever met that person or had that friend that always complained about another person? Obviously, we've all been there. When this girl came to me, to bitch about another girl on our floor, she didn't like this person very much. But she ALWAYS goes to do stuff with this girl and even calls her her "Bestie". What a load of horse shit, in my opinion. I love how this chick always complains about her and yet, willing to hang out with her.

Willingly.
Willingly.

Let that process...Yeah, I had issues with that, too.

Double standards, my dear readers. Don't you just love it? I don't really hang out with that chick anymore. I mean, I'll play nice and put on the smile and go have lunch or whatever, but that's about it. She's one of those types of people that insults you nicely.

Um. What?

Yeah. I know. I know. There's people like that in the world. Obviously. They both whine and complain, and she can't spell. She can't even say "Atmospheric" Hell, she can't even spell "Dull" (She spelt it "Dule")

But anyway. This isn't about that.

WHY WOULD YOU SURROUND YOURSELF WITH ALL THAT AND THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT IT WHEN ALL YOU'RE GOING TO DO IS GO BACK TO THE SOURCE OF ALL YOUR PROBLEMS?!?! My God, girl. My stepfather always tells me, "How do you torture a masochist?" I reply, "You don't"

Sigh. Anyway. Congratulations. You get to hang out with somebody that is super annoying. Cheers, mate.

Should I be nicer? Probably. Anywho... It's not my problem. Why would it be? It's just annoying and stupid. WHY?!?!!? I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!! 

Sigh.
