Left behind everything I knew
All the colors but bone-white and sky-blue
Hit the continent running
Engines were humming just to break through
Antarctica, my only living relative
Antarctica, I can't wait anymore
Under ice there's a world moving slow
Carnelian stars and the bars down below
Serve only vodka and gin
I try to stay drunk so nobody knows
Antarctica, my only living relative
Antarctica, I can't wait anymore
I can't wait anymore
And then there's morning
Each one feels like the first one
Ah, morning, so clean, so pure
Nothing so clear, now that I'm here
When I get back to the city
Everything's cluttered and pretty
I won't regret my return
I'll just remember the wind and the snow
And the howling so loud
That it alone drowns out the inside of me
Antarctica, my only living relative
Antarctica, I can't wait anymore
I can't wait anymore
I can't wait anymore

p.s
I have every intention of correcting the grammatical and spelling errors in my previous blog entry...later....
Well, hello!
Let me begin by saying, I know, it's been awhile since I last blogged. You can blame my lengthy abscences on the pressures of finals, and the monotonousness that has been my life for the past few weeks.
But never fear, spring break is here, and as I was driving home from school (I personally wasn't driving, I was on a bus, but that is irrelevant) I thought of some possible things to blog about and stored them in my phone, and then, just know I thought of some more, here's a list:
WAIT. TIME OUT. Looking back at that list, I think I might just have to wing it because I don't really have enough information/opinion to give you a hearty helping of my humor surrounding hand-free taking devices, or my recent re-appreciation for the arctic monkeys.
Here's something I can talk about for hours:
The undeniable bliss that comes from sunny day drives in nice cars with loud/good music. (<- Awkward sentence much?)
Today I had to go to the dentist, and for all those dentophobes out there, that can seem like a horrible task, however, I greatly enjoyed. Up until late this afternoon my dad was out of town so I got to drive his car, and let me tell ya after driving a shaky-slow-95' Maza 626 around, it was a treat. It was also incredibly sunny and goregous today, so that 20 minute drive with the radio blasting and the sun blaring was quite enjoyable.
Now you might be thinking "radio? She listens to the radio? huh, interesting, for a such a music connoisseur, I'm surprised she doesn't have an ipod..." WELL GUESS WHAT, SHE DOES.
However, little Phoebe(that's my ipod's name...as of now) is currently very sick and on her way to apple for some FREE OF CHARGE repairs, hopefully they can fix her, if they can't it will be sad but they'll send me a free Phoebe II in the mail, so it's cool. Again, you might find yourself with questions, "Why is apple being so nice to her?" you might be asking yourself, well blog follower, the answer is this; I was very smart when I purchased Phoebe, the 120 GB ipod in July, because I also purchased the $10 service plan, which enables me to get free healthcare for Phoebe! YEE!
Okay, my arm hurts from typing and i'm a sleepy puppy, so i'm gonna nap.
While I'm doing that look up the artist Rilo Kiley and listen to 'Dream World' & 'Jenny, You're Barely Alive'. While you're at it look up Phoneix and listen to 'Lisztomania' and '1901'.
PEASHHHH OUT.

#1: Eliminate teh distractions...
Hey guys, guess what?!?
It's friday, AND...wait for it....I DON'T HAVE ENGLISH TODAY! I do, however, have an paper due at 2, and I still have a fair amount to finish.
You may be wondering why I'm blogging right now instead of essaying, here my response:
I am blogging in order to spark my creativity, and get the juices flowing...
Creativity I channel you.
There is an order to my madness, before I start a difficult writing endeavor, such as the one that impatiently awaits me, I must address the possible distractions...
Before I finish my paper I must:
- Straighten my hair
- Finish my yogurt
- Do my make up
- Stretch
You might think that those things are a royal waste of time, but I disagree.
If I don't straighten my hair prior to da writing I will be distracted by frizz.
I will not be able to concentrated if the fatigue from the lack of food continues.
I will not be able to type if my arms start to cramp up.
And as for doing my make up... I just want to, okay?! I'm in College, mommy and daddy have no leverage when it comes to how I prioritize!!
Wait, I must amend my to-do list:
#1- Change this crappy music.
Adieu.

Untitled
Urban Outfitter's, today's comfort is dedicated to you.
I sit here in the student union building, with my iced late, computer, and less than par breakfast burrito (really food services, it's gross!) in a state of semi-contemplation, unable to edit my essay because my head is too warm and toasty, and my shirt fits all too well.
It is safe to say that those who know me (most of those that is) are aware of the fact that most of my clothing is from urban outfitter's (man, I've already mentioned them twice, they should pay me for this name dropping) so the fact that I am wearing two new articles of clothing from urban outfitter's right now is not out of the ordinary. What is out of the ordinary, however, is the fact that I ordered them online. I do not usually order clothing online, it freaks me out. What if it doesn't fit right? What if I think I'm ordering something lime green, and instead I get something in the horrendous color of chartreuse??? As you can see, there are many disasturous possible downfalls of online shopping. In my life time, I have made one major online clothing purchase, and that was my prom dress, but it entailed some serious alterations (and it was on sale).
ANYWAYS, back to the topic at hand....I a few days ago, I took the plunge and ordered not one, but two articles of clothing off urbanoutfitters.com. While I was pursuing (and salivating)over the website, I found the clearance section (I'm a sucker for a good clearance section) and there, displayed on the dirtiest computer screen in Washington, was and adorable little graphic t for only $4, I added it to my basket, and then the floodgates were open, I greedily clicked and viewed the next webscreen, only to find the perfect black beanie for only $5! I bought them both.
Let me tell you, my friends, I am so pleased with my purchases. I'm sitting here feeling warm, in a new website conceived outfit, and ready to make some more.
P.S I have created a game for you, my faithful reader(s), DON'T CHEAT.

So bad it's good....
Let's talk taste.
I don't want to sound pompous, but my taste is usually pretty good. I know good music when I hear it, I can analyze and critique the crap out of a movie, and I have always had a decent sense of style.
However, recently a new "genre" (if you could call it that) has caught my attention, this "genre" being under-reaching, poorly written, poorly executed crap.
Disney Channel (yes, Disney Channel) recently premiered a made for TV movie called StarStruck, now it's no secret that Disney Channel movies have been going down hill for well over five years. High School Musical was an unexpected exception, and nothing has been good since then, and the movie StarStruck is no exception. I love it. I love the cookie cutter pop stars, poor comedic timing, and mostly, the crappy-boy band-style throwback. I cannot stop listening to the soundtrack, it's horrible, and for some reason I find it inciting and delicious.
Let me give you a little taste of the poetry that is the lyrical aspect of this scrumptious noise:
This is where I should be
There aint no other place yeah
Will my soul release please
There aint no other way
I can feel it singin movin shakin
Gotta go where the music takes me
Let it set me free
You got to believe
Ahhh, so beautiful.
Okay, moving on to another exemplary example of bad taste:
MY LIFE AS LIZ
OMG. COULD I LOVE SOMETHING MORE THAN I LOVE THIS SHOW?!?! The answer is of course, no.
Here's why this 30 minute segment of awesome get's my heart racing:
1. It's obviously scripted. Like really, I usually try and lie to myself in situations like these, just to make the show more enjoyable...but in the case I can't, there is no way in hell it is not scripted (I mean they do slow motion glamor shots for crying out loud!) and that just makes me love it more.
2. Liz, the protagonist that they follow. She is fantastic, she has awesome style, her hair is excellent (don't be surprised if I dye my hair that color hah!) And her reactions and one liners are HILARIOUS. I love you Liz, I want to be you.
3. Bryson, this is Bryson:
His words are much too wise to come out of the toolish body he poorly maintains (and dresses for that matter), and by wise, I of course mean cheesy. Bryson, I love you, but not as much as my # four reason for loving this show.
4. Liz's hair. Yes, it deserves it's own bullet point. I not only love her hair for the outstandingly fantastic color that it is, but the fact that it embodies and mirrors her personality flawlessly. AHHHH, LOVE IT.
I have now shared with you the guiltiest of my guilty pleasures.
But before you go judging me, let me assure that my style has not plummeted, dipped, or gone down hill in anyway.
In fact today I was pursuing the website of my FAVORITE clothing store Urban Outfitters (as I do at least once a week) and I found a beanie and graphic T for only $8 cumulatively, so I bought them.
And I'm getting a hair cut tomorrow, I haven't had any layers in my hair since october and it's time for some bangs!
But for now, I must sleep!
Tata,
~ Your friend with FABULOUS taste
P.S Go youtube StarStruck and watch the music video for the song StarStruck <3<3<3
