The Bitch of Living

There are too many notecards in my area. I could literally build a freaking house out of all these notecards. Also, what am I supposed to do with all of these notecards when I'm done using them to study? Maybe I should get a filing cabinet. I really really want one. A metal one so I can put jazzy magnets on it. Yeah...

My Government final is going to be deadly. It covers everything from public policy to political parties to voting behavior to elections to foreign and domestic policy and oh yeah, the freaking economy. The whole thing is interesting, no doubt. It's just that the more people teach me about these things, the more upset I get about the state of things. Don't even get me started. But I literally cried the other day because I am just so upset about who shitty things are. Just all over, ya know? So upsetting.

Also upsetting: the huge amount of info covered in my World History final. I mean, really. World War I all the way to like, today. That's a whole freaking century of info. IN EVERY CONTINENT. The mind reels. I love history. I think it is essential to know what's shaped the world into what it is today, and this time period is of particular importance because it actually affected or is affecting everyone. But, damn this test is a lot.

I'm not evening going to touch on Astronomy. I don't care. It's ridiculous. Except for Dark Matter and The Big Bang. That's mildly interesting.

Wednesday=Movie Night w/ Callie
Thursday=Chinese Foodie for Taylor's Bday. Shhh. It's a surprise.
Friday=TAYLOR SWIFT+Callie/Bekah+ 1 bottle of wine= :)
Saturday= Bailey's Birthday. But I don't get to see her because she's adamant about not spending time with me anymore. Hey, I miss you. K?

I'm also fairly sure I'm going to have to paint in my freaking basement AGAIN this weekend. How about some of you assholes help a sistah out, hmm? You'd think since I let your asses get super drunk on a regular basis you might want to hurry the process along so we can have a party. Just saying.

In other news, I am obsessed with the Spring Awakening soundtrack. I can't stop listening to it and I'm pissed that no one took me to NYC to see it when it was there.

(Note: "The Bitch of Living" from Spring Awakening. Go to iTunes and listen to the soundtrack. You'll be glad you did.)

Imagine

Glee has inspired me to write a new blog merely three days after my last confession. I love Glee. Even though it's all bright and shiny it still has meaning (unlike Sideways World). In case you live under a rock, Glee is about a Glee Club at some high school somewhere. I don't know how all these really amazing singers just so happen to go to the same high school but that's irrelevant. Anyway, everyone hates them and they're unpopular and people throw slushies in their face. Except for the cheerios (sent to spy for Sue Sylvester) and Finn and Puck (because they're on the football team), they're kind of popular.

Anyways, the Glee Club has: 2 asians (one with a fake stutter), a dude in a wheelchair, a gay guy on the football team, a pregnant chick, 2 Jews (one with two gay dads), a big black girl, a dumb blonde cheerleader, a slutty latina cheerleader, and that black guy that can dance.

A huge amount of diversity and they all get along. They all care about each other, even though sometimes they don't admit it. They're all in the same club, working toward the same goal. It's beautiful.

I wish that the world was actually like this. I wish that everyone everywhere accepted people for whatever they are. Like, it's okay if there's a Muslim on the Supreme Court or it's perfectly fine that my next door neighbor loves men. Sure, gay marriage, that's cool. You're sixteen and pregnant? Sure, you can get an abortion. Whatever. Nationalized health insurance so people with pre-existing conditions (like being in a wheelchair) can have insurance? Sure, thing.

After all, aren't we all in the same club? We're all Americans aren't we? It doesn't matter if you consider yourself to be African American, Asian American, Irish American, etc., there's still one thing in common with every one of those labels. They're all American.

So why should it be such a BFD if your taxes go up so that Artie can have wheelchair ramps installed in the auditorium? Why does it matter so much to you if Quinn wants an abortion so maybe she can finish high school? Her parents won't support her and last time I checked she doesn't have a place to live. Does it really affect your life so much if Kurt wants to get married to his boyfriend? Is it such a shame that we (allegedly) respect every religion in this country instead of having one national religion (Christianity, obviously) so that it's okay if Puck and Rachel celebrate Hanukah?

What's the big freaking deal?

People these days.

XOXO

(Note: "Imagine" covered by Glee Cast. I so shouldn't have to tell you who originally sang it. Because then we wouldn't be friends. So if you don't know, Bing it. Seriously.)

We're All In The Dance

All I ever do is watch movies. I watch them all the time. Every spare second of my life, I'm thinking...104 minutes...can I fit this in before Government? Or, should I watch EVERY Katherine Hepburn film or just the ones that sound interesting? The answer, of course, is every one. Because anything with Kate Hepburn in it is interesting. She's known as the world's greatest actress for a reason, folks.

Recent watches: The Reader (A+), An Education (A+), The Queen (A), Alice Adams (A), How To Marry A Millionaire (A-), Monster (A), Smokey and the Bandit (B), La vie en Rose (A+), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (A+), A Streetcar Named Desire (A), The Aviator (A)

Seriously though, people don't watch good movies these days. I mean, really. I'm upset about it. No one saw The Reader and it was nominated for an Academy Award in 08! It was fantastic. But since it didn't have explosions or Megan Fox it's just unacceptable. Whatever. Bring on the superhero movies.

LOST is depressing me. Only six hours left. Jesus.

WHY? OH WHY? did someone decide to place Glee in the 9:00 time slot on Tuesdays??? Do they not understand that Tuesday is LOST Day?? I blame you, American Idol.

Speaking of, I think it's high time we pull the plug. I mean, the only people who've ever been successful from American Idol are: Kelly Clarkson (B), Carrie Underwood (A), Jennifer Hudson (A+), and that Daughtry guy (whatever). Unless of course you count Clay Aiken, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia, David Cook/Archuleta, etc. as successful. I love Katherine McPhee but even I can see the truth.

I had a really really good time on Tybee with my mom and brother and sister and Callie. It was fun. We saw a lighthouse and a house that Miley Cyrus sat on one time. And we ate seafood and went on a ghost tour and watched shows about murder. And had a hellacious argument (again) about Harry Potter. Oh, and in case you're wondering, Wet Willies does in fact make the best daiquiris.

I made an 86 on my last Astronomy exam. Kiss my butt Interstellar Medium! Haha!

I'm going to see Taylor Swift in like, two weeks or something. It's going to rock. I don't care what you say.

This semester is almost over. Then I get a mini-break before Summer classes. Then it's summer and that means: Beach, Savannah, New Apartment, New Book Releases, Hanging With People I Love, etc. Yay!

Also, Marlon Brando is sexy. Damn.
