Busy.

Hi guys. If I have any readers left, that is.

I'm really busy over the next week or so with Academic Bowl and finals, so I'm going to focus on finishing the semester and then I'll take up this blog again :)

See you in a week or two!

Death Rattle.

Sick. Sicky-sicky-mcsick.

I'm no fun to be around when I'm sick, so I'll post something later!

This weekend's the Brickfest event at RIT, so look for an update on monday(ish) for a recount of what happened over the weekend!

Playing Catch-up: March

Ok. Lemme pause to think back.

Table of Contents:
--ASL Idol
--new piercing
--Spring break
--Fyeth

I think that is all :)

ASL Idol:

I auditioned for ASL Idol where we sign music or sign poetry/stories. Of course, I signed music. I did "The Best Damn Thing" by Avril Lavigne and then "Like A Boy" by Ciara. There were 9 total contestants, and I advanced to the top four (or was it five? I don't remember) but didn't make it in the top three (the judges didn't like my second song as much, so that blew it for me. My first song was AWESOME!)

New Piercing:

I got a new piercing. (Duh.) It's a lip piercing, on the right side of my lip. I love it so much. Right now, there's a ring in it, but I'm switching between a ring and a stud. I like them both; it just depends on how I wanna look--the ring makes me look more...how do you say...tougher? It's more punk-ish and whatever it just makes me look different. With my stud, it's cleaner, more classic and "pretty"...This piercing makes ten altogether :). I'm planning on getting my nose pierced next, and now there's a new piercing on my list! (Thanks, Fred/blue fuzzies! xoxo)

Spring Break:

um. Let's just say what happens in spring break stays at spring break. But I'll just divulge a leeetle bit of detail. I went to Acapulco, Mexico for spring break with MTV's Student City. It was craaazy and I had a blasttt.

Fyeth:

My mom, the extreme hardcore cat lover, got a dog. She's a Deaf Australian cattle dog. Gray with black spots all over. Super adorable. With one brown and one icy blue eye. Unfortunately, a week or so later, she realized how much she liked cats better and gave the dog back to the animal shelter...

I was gonna take her and keep her for myself, but then my dad said he didn't want to have a dog in the house when I came home for summers, so there went that plan.

I'm still heartbroken over losing Fyeth.

SOOO, that's it really...

next post, Catching up on the last two weeks or so and what's up with me now...

(Side note: today, I'm going out to dinner with my sister (College Sister) and a couple of friends for her early birthday dinner, so that'll be fun :D )

Playing Catch-up: February

I can't really remember just what happened back in February, but two obvious things were the Vagina Monologues and the cheerleading competition, so I'll talk about these today.

Vagina Monologues was an awesomely cool experience for me. I signed "My Vagina Was My Village". It was a monologue about women in Bosnia who were raped as a war tactic. It's a horrifying, sad story.

I enjoyed watching everyone perform, and the backstage was fun as well. We all had a blast doing the whole show, and I am definitely interested in doing more things like it.

Because of Vagina Monologues, I'm interested in setting up an organization on campus that works against rape--especially since there were a couple of rapes reports the weekend after the play. We attended a workshop called SAFER (Students Active For Ending Rape) which is committed to making campuses 'safer'. I might be doing something like it next year, so keep your eyes open if you are interested in helping/contributing.

And the cheerleading competition.

It was crazy cool! It is an entirely different experience from high school cheerleading competition, and so much more advanced. There were five colleges altogether, including us, I think. We came in fourth, but we were like ten points away from being in third place, so that's really good for our little squad. We only had 9 cheerleaders/stuntmen while the other squads all had at least 20 or 25 cheerleaders.

So I'm really proud of our team and SO EXCITED for next season. There should be a lot more people joining us and a lot more advanced stunts. I can't wait!

I think that's everything of importance in February. Feel free to hit me upside the head if there's anything I forgot :)

Tomorrow, the next installment in Playing Catch-up...the March issue! It's a lot more exciting than this one, I promise :)

Hi again.

*dodges flying tomatoes*

Ok. So I'm back, for reals now. I hope.

I've been neglecting this little blog of mine because well, I felt like there was nothing to talk about.

Until I realized that there IS a lot to talk about. Duh. My life is totally blog fodder.

SoOoOoooo, I'm going to try to start blogging again--especially with this upcoming summer where I know there'd be a lot to talk about.

I'll be playing catch-up for the next couple of posts--I have to catch you, my beloved readers up on what has been happening lately don't I? Don't I? ANSWER ME!

Anyhoo...

For now, I leave you with this snippet of my newest obsession in music: The Climb by (I'm embarrassed to even say this) Miley Cyrus. Okokok, she sucks, and I'm sick of Hannah Montana, but this song is....wow.

"There's always going to be another mountain.
I'm always going to want to make it move.
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose.

Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side,
It's the climb."

Sheer poetry, I tell you.
