Upon my return to Spokane, I find myself questioning my life and the choices I have made so far.
What the hell home? Why do you make me ponder things?
Anyways I suddenly have a lot to think about and it makes me slightly dizzy... I wish I was kidding, it really does make me dizzy. Half of me wants to run back to Bellingham as fast as I can and the other half wishes I could stay. Forever.
Oh dear. What do I do.
Obviously I am going back to Bellingham, for school, you know.
I can't help but think though, what would my life look like if I had stayed?

Thanksgiving
So I think it is about time that I wrote a bit on this holiday. Usually I have looked at Thanksgiving as a break from school and a day to eat yummy food. Well, it is still like that but since I have moved off to college, I think I have gained a new perspective.
It really is about thanks.
Oh haha, duh!
Well seriously, I am really thankful. Here is a list of all the things I am greatful for (because I love lists):
1. I am greatful to be getting an education
2. I am greatful for a home to come home to
3. I am greatful for a loving family that is there for me no matter what
4. I am greatful for Lauren, Jordan, and Nathan who so eagerly came over to see me on the eve of my return
5. I am greatful for the friends I get to return to at Western. (Like my awesome roommate!)
Anyways, I am quite tired and have a turkey trot to sort-of attend in the morning... YAY MY OWN BED!

I Love Stumbling
The internet's gift to procrastinators: StumbleUpon.
In my humble opinion it is the best toolbar anyone could have ever asked for.
I've stumbled some of the greatest things I would have never heard about otherwise.
Forget Facebook.
Forget Twitter.
Forget Tumbler.
All you need to waste hours of your life (and I really mean hours) is this toolbar.
So how it works is you add the toolbar and create a free user. You take a little questionnaire and check the things that interest you, such as music or games or history. Save. Stumble.

Big Socks and Track Spikes
College Quotes-Part One
That was easy.
Let's make this onesie a twosie.
It's because I'm foreign.
If that was an innuendo, you just told him to go fuck himself.
Why you all up in my shit?
I'm going to punch you with my forehead.
My Mascara runs faster than you.
If these shorts were any shorter, I'd need a hairnet.
Let me de-robe for this occasion.
Oh my God, they're so weird
-This coming from the girl carrying a wand and wearing a cape.
I'm communist for books and shit.
We should get this over with, cause you are in the crotch region.
Just let it happen for a second.
They just made a Battlestar Galactica reference, let me text my mother!
You stabbed me in Greenland!

I like songs with sounds in them
Werid:
I know Gravity Rides Everything by Modest Mouse so well that when I pause it, I can continue the song perfectly in my head no matter what part of the song I was at.

I'm homless... kinda
See this is a frustrating issue. As of right now, I have no where to live this coming fall at western.
Okay sure, it was technically my fault but they could have warned me.
So I have been placed in a 'pending status' for my housing assignment, which basically means that I have no dorm room yet. I found this out and freaked so I emailed the lady who's name is at the bottom of the webpage:
Me: Why the fuck don't I get a room?
Her: You applied to the college late.
Me: What?
Her: Yeah, the kids who weren't indecisive lazy-asses got their assignments first because they clearly care more about going to Western. Have a nice day.
Me: ...
Actually that didn't happen, but it is essentialy what was said, only classier.
So to put it in plain english: I applied closer to the application deadline, I have to wait longer to get my housing. Untill September 15th. Which is 4 days before move-in. Fuck. Where was the paragraph explaining this?
It's an awesome school though, so I am still pumped to be going at all.

The Science of Pop Music
Innocently stumbling this afternoon I came upon a video post on current.com, the website to what might be the last good network on TV (CurrentTv). It features an Australian comedy group, Axis of Awesome. These guys demonstrate that the most popular songs over the last 40 years have been based on the same four chords, just rearranged. Sure, it isn't all of them probably but the video shows quite a few and I can even name some for myself!
The link to the video is here.
This just proves my point. I am often asked why I don't like pop[ular] music and I have always come up with a pretty feeble answer:
"It's stupid"
"It's bad"
"It's unoriginal"
And while these songs aren't necessarily as bad as I find them, I finally know the right answer that will satisfy others:
"I've heard it before."
Which is totally true! I could take those four chords and write a song about love or fun and get something just as good as Katie Perry or Kelly Clarkson (yuck). Sure there's no way I can re-create something of Beatles or Journey caliber but the really good ones are a few in a whole lot more over the past 40 years. I think I've got a good chance on these terms. Better yet, I can just direct the questioners to this post, to the link and it will explain everything for me! I don't mean to be snarky about music but it sure feels good to be able to say 'I told you so.' And believe me, I will.
So if you don't mind, I am off to listen to music that uses more than four chords... I.E. GOOD music.
Oh and sometimes I DO mean to be snarky…
