L'amour est un feu qui dévore mais l'envie de chier est plus forte encore.

I am now the proud owner of a whole lotta Tupperware. Not only fancy cups that have easy to drink out of lids (below) but old fashioned Tupperware containers that I grew up with. My mom sent me multiple boxes full of the stuff and I am so grateful. 

My grandma also snuck in these old-fashioned ice cream dishes... There are six of each so if anyone wants to come over and have an ice cream party, hit me up. We can break in the living room! No one has used it since we moved in. Let's do this!

Ever since classes started, Katie and I have been creeping all over our French professor's Facebook profile. Each time we get into groups for writing assignments we always try to include his most recent status updates in our answers. A few days ago, he sent out an email on WebCT asking how the class would feel about him making a group on Facebook to communicate in. Then he sent another saying we'd have to friend him to be put into the group and we would discuss it in class the next day. SO. POINT OF THAT STORY: I am now friends with my French professeur on Facebook and it is the single greatest thing I have ever done. Seriously. This guy is hilarious. 

I had such a hard time looking at him with a straight face today after looking through all of his pictures. I also did not feel like doing any of the work he was assigning, so when he'd make me answer a question I sounded like a total asshole. Par exemple, one of the questions was "When was a time that you made a blunder?" and I replied, "I've never made any mistakes. I'm perfect." Also, "What suggestion would you make to someone who isn't fashionable?" My answer? "Buy new clothes, asshole." Of course I didn't say "asshole," but only because I couldn't remember the French word for it. ;) (it's trou du cul) 

In related news... Katie and I are definitely going to study abroad this summer. There's a program that goes to Tours, France, and covers 6-8 language credits. It's only a few thousand dollhairs and I should have resident status by the end of May. So I'm pretty pumped about that. I'm going to get an early start on scholarship and grant applications so that if we go, I'll have everything covered and I can spend my own money on things I desire (food). I believe it is from May 26th to June 22nd. Woop.

As you may recall, for a while I went through a phase where I was absolutely in love with A Very Potter Musical. The people who created it, Starkidpotter, recently came out with a new musical called Starship. It is really funny and I recommend watching it. I've been taking breaks from watching the Secret Life of the American Teenager on Netflix to watch it and it's just fantastic. Nowhere near as great as AVPM/AVPS, but still entertaining. 

Chelsi threw a Quentin Tarantino party for her birthday on Saturday. It was awesome! Chelsi was Bridget von Hammersmark from Inglorious Basterds, Michael was Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction after he shoots Marvin in the face, and I (along with two other girls) came dressed up as Mrs. Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction. 

Welp. That was my week. Redfest (Cobra Starship, Sabi, We Are Scientists) is Friday and the BYU vs. Utah game is Saturday but I think I'm going to lay low this weekend. I really need to study for the four exams I have next week. :( 

story of my life:

Hey guys! Ready for a quick summary of my weekend? Of course, you always are.

Friday

Rosie, Emily and I went to the park to meet some guys that Rosie met at Crimson Nights. It was a pretty uneventful time.. we played on the swingsets that sounded like a herd of elephants' mating calls, then sat around the swings while Rosie got her flirt on. Then we went to a party at this kid Nick's house that Rosie went to school with. I had such a good time. Started out with drinking games, then sitting on the couch getting to know each other while a huge group of people played more drinking games, then dancing to Party in the USA. I believe a game of Truth or Dare - which shortly turned into Never Have I Ever - initiated, then we all went to bed. Woke up five hours later, had breakfast at the HC, then slept in the dorm from 11:30-5:30. I slept next to Nick, whose snores could wake Rumbleroar's slumbering cubs, and barely slept from said snoring. Haha. So my large nap was needed. 

Saturday

After my massive nap, our golden trio went to dinner. That was seriously the most exciting part of the night. We got all dressed up and left around 9 for the schoolgirl party that one of the Greek frats was holding, but it turned out to be a total bust. It was full of really slutty girls in too-short plaid skirts and wide-open white shirts. Not our scene. I mean, if we were all lesbians it would have been a good time. But we're not, so it wasn't, and we bailed less than a minute after entering the house. We walked around 500 S for a while looking for another party but didn't find anything so we came back to the dorms and went to bed. :( 

Sunday

Today was just about as exciting as yesterday. Woke up early, ate some poptarts, then went downtown with Emily. Stopped by the City Library and got a couple of books, sat in Starbucks and read/studied in Emily's case, then went to Smith's to buy concealer, lotion, and fingernail polish remover. Came back to the dorms, had dinner at the HC, and now we're just chillen' and waiting for Rosie to come home so we can watch A Very Potter Musical. Emily's trying to finish her reading for a class she has Tuesday and Thursday. I cleaned the entire bathroom and killed a huge spider. Seriously, we are so much fun. 

I have absolutely no set plans for tomorrow. If the Hogle Zoo is open Emily and I might stop by it for a while. Same goes for the Gateway, cause we want to check out Forever 21 for some necklaces for Em. I have to resist and not buy anything. I think I have less than a hundred dollars left in my checking account. Do you know how terrible that is? I finally finished my resume today and applied for a job at Noodles and I have intentions of applying at more places, but we'll see. 

Now for my closing statement...

I laugh every time I look at this. I'll be switching between tabs in Safari and it'll pop up and I'll start dying. Emily thought it was funny the first time I showed her, but now I think she's starting to get annoyed by how often I laugh at it. IT'S NOT LIKE I OPEN THE TAB ON PURPOSE, EMILY. Okay, maybe that's not true. But it's hilarious. 

moar albums

I downloaded more albums.. no self-control.

• Caribou - Swim
• Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes - From Below
• Freelance Whales - Weathervanes
• Local Natives - Gorilla Manor
• Tokyo Police Club - A Lesson In Crime
• Tokyo Police Club - Champ
• Yeasayer - Odd Blood

Speaking of no self-control, I went to Forever 21 again yesterday... Spent $50+ on two dresses, two solid color v-necks, and two brown belts. I'll upload some pictures of everything I've bought from Forever 21 in the last week.

$22.80 + 10% off, $19.80

$22.80, $22.80, $13.80, $4.50, $5.50

I have every intention of wearing these with the second black dress in the first picture.

No pictures of the v-necks cause they're just solid colored v's. One's white. One's gray. Anyway, last night Emily and I were modeling our new purchases to figure out what we should wear to party in this weekend. We're going to color match each other and it's gonna be totally awesome.

So party outfit #1 for me is the black dress on the right in the first picture with the yellow shoes in the third picture. Emily's going to wear the first black dress and black heels. And party outfit #2 is going to be the olive colored dress with the first brown belt, the tan cardigan on the left, and either my olive boots or my olive Toms. Emily also bought an olive dress from F21 and we look sooooo cute together. When we finally get dressed up and go somewhere I'll make someone take pictures of us. :) I'm so exciiiiited.

i'm home!

The title says it all. I'm hoooome! I don't have to sit in a car for countless hours with my family anymore! YAY!

We got into town right after 11. The original arrival time was supposed to be 7, but we stopped for gas a couple times, along with food and shopping in Zona Rosa. I was angry that we hadn't stopped at a single Noodles whilst in Utah or Colorado, so we stopped in KC for that. Then we went to a Best Buy to try to find me an iPhone 4. Sadly, all of the Best Buys and AT&T stores around that area are either sold out or have some in stock that are reserved already. So I'm on multiple waiting lists and hoping that someone calls me soon. Oh, and the great news about my new iPhone? I don't have to pay for it! I asked my mom if she would get it for me, as a parting for college gift, and she agreed! How ridiculous is that. I had mentioned at an earlier time during vacation that I'd like a television for my dorm room and she was going to get that for me, too. But I told her a phone would do over the TV. If I really end up wanting one, I'll find a cheap one after I move to Salt Lake.

I've added two credit hours to my schedule for first semester, making me a full-time student. Here's the class Corinne and I have decided to take:

• ESSF 1015 - Cycling - Elem; TH, 7:30-8:20 am

Yeah, it's gonna be intense. Now that I'm back in Trenton, Rose and I are going to start running together at night. I want to be in better shape when I move to SLC and I'm hoping this will help. I just don't want to be panting and struggling for breath as soon as we start class, hahah. Speaking of struggling for breath...

Hahahaha. I saw this gif on tumblr and couldn't resist posting it on here. I'd love to credit someone because it's so ridiculously amazing and supermegafoxyawesomehot, but I couldn't find the source on tumblr. So, props to whoever made that shit. It's great.

I think I'm going to curl up in my bed (my bed! yes!) and read Eldest a bit more, then go to bed. Rose and I have plans in the morning to see each other for the first time since the day before I left for Kentucky.. at the end of June! UGH. We've been apart for so long. :( Anyway, goodnight everyone.

PS: My mommy bought me a fancy $40 case to store my laptop in while we were at a Best Buy tonight. The inside is seriously softer than any of my blankets. I want to shove myself inside it and live there forever.

totally awesome

Guys, oh my god. A Very Potter Musical is so addicting. I watched the entire first act again today and made my parents watch it with me. AND I CAN'T STOP QUOTING IT. If you haven't seen it yet, click this shit right now and WATCH IT. If you don't find any of it funny, you have no soul. 

It's gonna be totally awesome!

pigfarts

I worked 11-5 today. It's literally the worst shift evar. Normally no one comes in until 11:45-12ish and the place is cleared out before 2. Then you ice the bar, sweep tile, hokey the floor, and you're done before 3.. leaving two hours to stand around and do nothing. Unless you work with Lisa, meaning you go around the restaurant cleaning everything in sight for two hours. It blows. Today was more dead than usual, since it's a holiday weekend and everyone's getting ready for tomorrow. We had a party from 12:30-4 but they kept to themselves and cleaned up afterwards, so I didn't have shit to do. haha. THEN I was filling the napkin dispensers and a giant cockroach crawled out at me! So I told Lisa and we spent the longest time spraying for bugs and moving/cleaning out the booths. Yuck.

When I got home I read more of Deathly Hallows, cried a bit, and watched the first two Toy Story movies. Now I'm chillaxing and watching all of the videos from A Very Potter Musical. It cracks me up so much. The girl who plays Draco - Lauren Lopez - is definitely my favorite.

I want to go to Pigfarts. It's on Mars.
