where's the snow?

2009-01-20T08:35:00.000-08:00

i have this problem. i tend to listen to the weatherman, thus leading me to believe them when they say it is going to snow. for some reason i tend to work myself up too much, and convince myself that we will have a snow day. i sit in my room and decide its a good idea to stay up reallllyyy late, because theres no way we will have to get up in the morning and have class. i have dreams of waking up and looking out the window to a completely white campus and a text message from the school or something saying "chelsea, dont get out of bed, class is cancelled." then i would proceed to sleep til noon, and stay in my pjs drinking coffee all day. but usually, my alarm goes off at 7 am, no snow, and i drag myself to class. maybe tomorrow?

mac. someday.

dont let the picture decieve you. its the apple sticker that came with my ipod on top of the dell logo.

the wonderous new world of blogging

2009-01-17T20:57:00.000-08:00

I suppose my new fettish for blogging has been a build up inside of me for quite some time. I already have a design and art blog required for class, but I cant really talk about petty, mundane things on there. Design is too good for that. So, I just had to get over my personal boycott of the idea of the internet truely taking over my life... I mean, this is it right? Now that this has started... its all over with. I am officially reducing all my free time to waaayy too many online obsessions (facebook, twitter, youtube, imdb, and now blogger). Its sad, but well, the age we live in I suppose. I guess I could maybe lie to myself and say that this is a way to save all the people in my life. Let me explain: sometimes a conversation with me starts with something completely and utterly random, thus resulting in my roommate, my close friends and family having to fake interest in the topic that has ADD’d it’s way into my brain and out of my mouth. Most of the time, they’re pretty good about it, but sometimes, well... I get the uninterested look and the fake "u huh’s" and then it results in me feeling stupid because "uh huh" is in no way a possible answer to what I said. Or, as in the case with many of my friends, I get laughed at for saying something ridiculous, which I admit is pretty funny, but anyway, this brings me to blog. This way, if there are any uninterested or "you did not just say that" looks... you, the reader can just give that look to screen without me seeing it, or "x" out of the page. Whatever, I’ll never know, right?
