So late

Umm...

It's 2:06 a.m., do you know what your favorite blogger is doing? Yeah, I can't sleep. I blame it on the combination of my grande sized Starbucks latte earlier and a good amount of floor boards creaking above me, as well as Facebook being quite a distraction. What is the deal with Facebook? I seriously spent all day saying I had a load of work that had to be done and ended up accomplishing none of it. For shame.

I would like to examine something I did today to pass my time in between Facebook stalking. I went on an MSU networking website, www.allmsu.com and found myself looking at the personal dating ads. I know, it is a bit embarrassing that I was even considering checking some people out through their online dating profile. Unfortunately, a portion of the guys I clicked on were gay, bisexual, or too old for me. Another unfortunate thing is that 100% of them had online dating profiles which means they are desperate and could also be creepy. But what does that make me for looking at them as well? The majority of people my age that are in relationships met in high school. It makes me wonder why, at a University with over 40,000 people, my friends and I don't have raging social lives and a date book overflowing with events. Is there something wrong with us? Are people just not looking for a serious relationship right now? If I were ever to meet a potential mate, it scares me to know that due to my awkward nature, we would inevitable have a first awkward encounter, followed by many more I'm sure. All I'm saying is I'd be more than willing to meet some new people, and maybe go on a date to a local restaurant and cinema. However, I don't feel like making an online dating profile to lure in someone to do that with.

Another thing I did today was buy Season 3 of Grey's Anatomy on DVD. Why? Does my busy schedule even allow time for such a leisurely activity? Surely 7 discs packed with episodes would be quite time consuming. Time is something I have a shortage of lately. Why did I buy it? I blame it partly on my OCD and partly on peer pressure. My OCD kicks in and tells me that considering I own Seasons 1&2 I cannot allow myself to have an incomplete collection. Peer pressure is also established as roommates eagerly seek out the borrowing of said DVDs to pass the time/allow for procrastination. I dropped $50 and I'm not sure why but I'm not going to look back with anger or regret.

Did anyone catch the season finale of The Life of Ryan tonight? That show really gets under my skin. Skateboarding, as far as I know (my knowledge is limited, what I do know about skateboarding has been learned from the Tony Hawk ps2 video games) is pretty cool. I see people riding boards to class on campus allof the time and a part of me is jealous of their fearless attitude towards the dangerous activity. Skateboarding opinions aside, Sheckler is a corny 17 year old that just sucks, straight up. There is no way around it. The way he draws out his narrations and his tone, gives the show an overall emo feeling that I just can't stomach. Just watch it and you as well will understand.

Halloween is right around the corner and I'm hurting for a costume really badly. Creativity and originality always come into play when choosing a costume. Homemade or store bought, it has to be a bit impressive and always fun. I am running out of time to find that perfect thing to be. Halloween is similar to Christmas in that all year I think of all these things that I would love to be but when it comes time to pick one I can't think of a damn thing. This is like Christmas because all year I desperately want certain gifts, but at Christmas time my mind goes blank. Hopefully I can get it together and find a bomb costume (not a literally bomb costume, but a costume that is "da bomb" so to speak.) The baby costume to the right is pretty sweet ha.


Things to look out for:
-Britney's cd drops this month
-Project Runway starting
-Lohan's post-rehab behavior
-a cold glass of Apple Cider
