some gossip talk

Ok, so I just finished the last Gossip Girl before The Carlyles. I have to say, that was an ending I wasn't expecting. Who knew Nate was going to sail off into the sunset without saying goodbye? 

I knew no matter what, that Serena and Blair would be BFF after Nate. Dan and his wanna-be Kerouac-esqueness or whatever he wants to be. We all know Jenny goes to Waverly Academy next year, with the start of the It Girl series. 

Anyway... I don't know what I'm going to do without Serena, Blair, Nate, Dan, Jenny and Vanessa. Even Rufus, Dan and Jenny's father, was amusing. Not exactly the same as the Rufus Humphrey on the sitcom, but maybe it's better that way. There are a lot of things that are different from the book series. Especially the relationships. 

• Blair and Chuck (they never dated in the series, I don't think)
  
• Rufus and Lilly, Serena's mom (no parental contact in the books except for the upper east sider parents)
• Nate and Vanessa (they never dated in the series)
  
• Serena and Dan (they don't stay together and fall in love in the books)
  
• Jenny and Asher (who was created strictly for the show)
  
• Dan and Georgina (she actually dates Nate in the book series and never meets Dan. wasn't very good friends with Serena at Hanover.)

Tomorrow, I will begin reading either The Carlyles or Anna Karenina. Who knows, maybe a little of both? Anna Karenina is sooooooooo long. I wish I had a more recent copy of Madame Bovary. It would also help if it were paperback. I'm not a big fan of hard back books. 

So many books to return to the library. I wish it wasn't going to be raining. Poo. It's all a bunch of poo.

a short blog

A few things have changed in the past few hours. 

M didn't go to work today, and the people at Ruby Tuesday are apparently angry with her. She is sick, but she was my reference and if they're angry with her, what are they going to do about me? Not hire me? Then it is definitely back to square one. 

In other news, I finished two books today. Lets see what else I can finish before I go to the library tomorrow. If I even make it to the library tomorrow. Who knows what I'll end up doing. Laying out better be one of those things, I'm telling you right now. I need to sweat out this anger I have for trying to find a job. 

Right now, the only books I have started reading are Lullaby and The Sun Also Rises. I can't decide which one I should read next tonight. Maybe I'll start a new one. Anna Karenina? Madame Bovary? 

I wish Buster didn't have any fleas.

me blogging and watching veronica mars just seems to happen at the same time all the time

Season 3. It would have been a pretty awesome season if it hadn't been CANCELLED! 

Logan and Veronica and their "epic love" is still going on at the beginning of the season. I like Logan and Veronica together. 

Oh, and yes... tonight's Gossip Girl was pretty scandalous. Blair and Jenny duking it out throughout the whole episode. I don't know who I like more: Serena, Blair or Jenny. Blah blah. I don't know if I like the books or the series more either. 

Piz's stuff has been stolen! Oh no! Veronica is there to take the case though. She's so talented. 

My lesbian neighbor is coughing in her garage next door. Their garage is very close to my bedroom window, and it's painful when I'm in here with my window open, listening to my music or doing whatever I do here in my room, and I can hear the two of them talking or doing whatever they do in their garage. They're crazy.

I picked up Anna Karenina today from the library. Also picked up a Gossip Girl novel. I didn't know Anna Karenina was so long. What else should I expect from Count Leo Tolstoy though? War and Peace wasn't an easy read either, although I haven't read that one either. I'm just trying to educate myself while I'm not in school. The librarian helped me re-check out another book that was due today. I'm tight with the librarians. 

I really hope these Ruby Tuesday people give me a job. I really don't want to keep looking for one anymore. Tomorrow, I'm supposed to expect an answer.

Just a short blogging tonight, friends. I'm getting more tired by the minute.

Well, I didn't get to do any of the things that I wanted to do today. However, I did call Ruby Tuesday and I have to call back again tomorrow about the positions available. 

I didn't lay out. I'm very very sad I didn't. I'm going to REALLY have to do that tomorrow. I did read a little bit of a book I need to bring back to the library. I didn't clean my room either. Those are the only things on the list. There was something else that I needed to do... let me check that out... oh yes, the library. I really do need to go to the library. I have two books I have to get from there that I put on hold. Anna Karenina and a Gossip Girl novel entitled: nothing can keep us together. I like to have a little variety. Of course.

Anyways, it's kinda hot in my room, even though I have the fan on and the window is open and it has been chilly these past few nights.

I'm pretty sure that was a run on sentence. I don't care.

Time is a curse

I've been thinking of things to write down about today, but I can't remember a lot of these things at the moment.

I do remember this: I was driving to Ruby Tuesdays to fill out an application for employment. I had put make up on. Mascara and eyeliner really irritate my eyes because I don't wear make up that often. But, as I was on my way to the restaurant, I closed my eyes slightly and I realized that with mascara on, my eyelashes looked like spider legs and it kind of freaked me out. Spiders in general, kind of freak me out. 

As usual, I'm watching Veronica Mars. It is kind of my nightly routine to end my day watching a few episodes of the show. 

I didn't get to see Gossip Girl on Monday, and I'm a little bummed about it. I'll get to see a re-run on Sunday night, so it's not so bad. Then, it will be just like seeing the next episode the next night. 

Buster is looking out the window. I think he's smelling something riding in on the wind. Now he's scratching himself after getting fleas from M's house. Or at least I'm sure that's where he got them. 

I can already see dust collect on my ceiling from my smoking too much. 

Whatever. 

I think what I'm going to do tomorrow is:

• lay out
  
• clean my room, yuck
• read books, which ones, I don't know
  
• hopefully get a call back from Ruby Tuesdays
  
• go through my books in the garage
  
• re-arrange my room? 

That looks like a lot of things I have head of me tomorrow. I don't know how much of this I'm actually going to get done. I know for a FACT that I will be laying out, because I didn't get to today, or yesterday. I need to become the bronzed sun goddess I once was. Those many, many years ago. Well, maybe it was only two, but you know what .... it needs to be so again.

Thinking of laying out reminds me of Jfer, Malibu and Kasi, I wish we had a nickname for her. If we did, I don't remember it. Pool time used to be our time. Laying out. Reading Cosmopolitan Magazine in British accents. I miss those days oh so much. It's terrible we have to be so far from each other. But I look at the puzzle piece tattoo that we all have, and it makes me happy knowing that I'll always have those girls and that time we had together. It was a time that is probably teen-novel worthy. A lot of things happened my freshmen year of college that changed me, and I think those changes are for the better. I'm more clear headed. I'm more focused on where I want my life to go. Kasi sometimes didn't like what we would read aloud. You see, Kasi had a "comfort zone." She rarely stepped out of it. However, I think she never really cursed before meeting me. I could be wrong though.

Maybe I can make it a summer project to write my own typical teenage novel. It won't be so much coming of age, since the characters will be in college, but it will be a more coming to terms with who you are, and to not be so self conscious, like people are in high school. 

Or at least that's what I think I've learned. It's not what people think about it that's important in life. It's who you are and being happy with who you are. What I mean, is that if I could go back to high school, it would be much different for me. I mean, I'm not saying I'd be uber-popular or anything, but I would be more outgoing and more not self conscious about the person that I was always meant to be: the outcast. Even though I was already acquaintances with almost everyone in my graduating class.

Maybe I'll read Madame Bovary tomorrow. I put Anna Karenina on hold at the library. I also have a Gossip Girl novel waiting for me there, so I should probably put going to the library on my things to do tomorrow. 

One of my favorite characters on Veronica Mars is Cindy "Mac" Mackensie. Mac is another comical character with crazy hair colors that vary from episode to episode. She's a technological genius and helps out Veronica with a lot of the more difficult hacker type stuff that needs to be done in order to solve the mystery. She's played by Tina Majorino, also a co-star from the hits Big Love and Napoleon Dynamite.

Another of my favorites is Eli "Weevil" Navarro. He's such a badass, but a softie as well. He's a good soul when it comes down to it. He is one for justice, and not completely bad. Even if he is the leader of the PCHer's: Neptune High's notorious biker gang. He's played by Francis Capra. He hasn't really been in anything you would recognize him from, besides Veronica Mars. However, he was on one episode of The O.C. I do believe I mentioned that before though.

I think I've talked about Veronica Mars characters enough for today. I wish I had started reading one of the more sophisticated books I rented from the library, but that hasn't happened yet, so I'm a little sorry that I don't have anything intellectual to talk about. I can't wait to start taking philosophy classes again. Or theology classes. Either one would be pretty awesome. I mean, any of my major/minor classes are going to be awesome, but I still have a ton of core classes to finish off. 

I haven't decided what I want to do. College-wise yet. Ole Miss or back to USA? 

Making mental note: I'm almost out of tea, so I should probably go get some more soon.

I love Logan Echolls. Ugh, ok, no more Veronica Mars, I said.

On Guitar Hero 3, my band was supposed to be called Mars, but it ended up being only Mar. Whatev.
