Another Birthday...

Much love,
Erin

Books are (not) my friends

So im taking my fifteenth break from reading my pharmacology book to check something "super necessary" on the internet or in my apartment.

Example 1: If i went to chapel hill in two months, how long would it take me if i left from georgetown, sc. i should mapquest this scenario right away.

Example 2: Man, i wonder what that really hot south american guy from camp is doing right now. ill see if i can find him on myspace...yep, he's there.

Example 3: Ill check back with my myspace again to see if hot guy and other folks have returned my friend requests.

Example 4: Maybe I want a few more twizzlers...since I haven't eaten any in five minutes

The point is this- Books feel like they are taking over my life. I feel overwhelmed by the amount of time i should be spending with them, but i dont really like them. They tell me all this important information regarding my supposed future career, but when you dont like someone you dont really want to listen to them. Does this make sense at all?!?! And the saddest thing is that because of my textbooks even my "fun" books feel like work! Do you know how long it is taking me to read Love in the Time of Cholera??!!? Far too long my friends. I just want to be doing something I like. I am not enjoying the means to the end i am trying to reach. I need encouragement. And I need friends that are better than textbooks. Is anyone feeling me on this one?

A Real Post

An update for those of you who actually still check this thing. Hope you are all well! And i hope you are enjoying this holiday season.

What i'm listening to:
1.The Holiday Soundtrack. It's what I would call contemporary classical. Its beautiful music, well-written, the kind that speaks to you heart and encourages daydreams on the couch.
2.Grey's Anatomy Soundtrack. What a funky mix of really cool artists! It's like an upscale buffet: a great sampling of tasty treats you cant get just anywhere!

What i'm doing with my spare time:
1.Knitting...a lot...and i like it. I even drink hot tea while doing it. That's right. I am an 83 year old woman in a 25 year old's body.
2.Watching movies. I recommend The Waitress- very cute, lots of layers.
3.Exercising. Running is still my fave, but i've been doing a body step class lately that really kicks my rear in gear.

Work:
1.Still at the Bistro and still loving it. Our crazy holiday party is this weekend and i am looking forward to the goodies.

School:
1.I just finished my second nursing course and my last anatomy course on wednesday. Im still recovering.

Books i'm reading:
1.Crime and Punishment. There's nothing like repeating a classic, but I havent picked it up in a while because of school.
2.Total Truth. A friend gave it to me so im gonna go for it.
3.Real Simple Magazine. A must.

A couple bonuses:
1. I love love love dark nail polish right now. If its almost black I'm all about it.
2.Im enjoying living with my new roommates April and Jessye. They are great listeners and they put up with my clutter in the common areas. I appreciate sitting down on the couch and having really important conversations with them. They help me to exam myself and they tell me the truth. I love them.
3.I love the mariah carey christmas cd. This is not a joke. i started playing it november 27th.

I think that's about it. I was going to try to find a pic of me and roommates, but it didnt work out. For later i guess...
Merry Christmas!

Are You a Sketchy Stalker?

According to the American Heritage Dictionary:

Stalk- 1.To walk with a stiff, haughty, or angry gait. 2. To move threateningly or menacingly. 3. To track prey or quarry.
1.To pursure by tracking stealthily. 2. To follow or observe (a person) persisitently, especially out of obsession or derangement.- stalker.

He could be your next door neighbor. He could be that fellow who keeps giving you the crazy eye in line at the Chik-fil-a. He could even be a friend who googles you in the middle of the day.

Take this short little quiz to see if you are at risk of becoming a sketchy stalker:

1.Are you atleast six feet tall? (most registered sketchy stalkers are six feet or taller)

2.Do you tend to use hair product? (most sketchy stalkers have very nice hair)

3.Do you find yourself typing really really cool people's names into your internet search engines? (most women who are stalked sketchily have been researched on the internet)

4.Do like to stand inside of clothing stores and talk awkwardly to people you don't even know?

5.Do find yourself drooling excessively during thoughtful moments of your day?

6.Does your name begin with the letter "M"? (47% of sketchy stalkers' first names begin with "M")

Could it be you?!?!?
