'40 Year Old Virgin' was quite a bad choice to watch with my mom and dad.

Well.. it's 40 Year Old Virgin and I was about 16 or so, don't really recall, when I watched it with my mom. And it's quite a vulgar movie, then my dad walked in and watched the rest of it with us about halfway through. Awkwardddddddd.

Phone always on board.

Phone
I have realized that I am nothing without my phone, as incredibly sad as that is.. I need my contact with me at all times.. you really cannot get around a college campus without one.

Highland Coffee is the best place to reminisce.

Highland Coffee is my favorite place in the entire city of Louisville, so of course it is a prime location for meeting up with old friends.

Local coffee shop.. full of old friends and memories. And THE best coffee I have ever had.

Things I would love to do on Valentine's Day

I feel that since this silly holiday is over.. I can answer this question now.. mostly out of sheer boredom.

Concert
I love concerts.. if one ever happened to fall on February 14th and I liked the band.. my boyfriend surprising me with tickets would be pretty damn fantastic. Concerts in general are pretty damn fantastic though.

Dinner/Movie
A dinner.. cooked for me by him.. and a movie.. at his house.. just the two of us.. no fancy restaurants or theaters for me.. I don't really need to be wined and dined.. just dinner at home, wine is good with this dinner :P ..and a movie on the couch. As long as I get to spend time with my boyfriend, who needs the fancy stuff?

Longest road trip ever: 20+ hours, over 3 days

The journey from Louisville to South Dakota was a 3 day adventure with many stops along the way...

The journey from Louisville, KY to Devils Tower, WY (stayed in Rapid Falls, SD though) is about 19 hours, but we detoured through Minneapolis in order to go to the Mall of America, made it over 20 hours. It was a 3 day road trip, we actually slept in the car one night, I do believe it was in Mall of America's parking lot, since we got there at like 3am, made sense at the time.



No, this wasn't a college adventure, not even a high school one, this was a journey I took with my mom, brother, grandmother, and grandfather, when I was 6 years old, well, I turned 7 while I was there.. we were visiting my aunt and uncle in Rapid Falls.. that trip allowed me to.. see the Mall of America.. actually know WTF Wall Drug is.. visit the Badlands.. see the Devil's Tower.. see Mt. Rushmore.. see prarie dogs/buffalo.. and also develop my fear of puking, but that's a long story. In short, I loved this road trip even though I can hardly remember most of it.. it was a lot of fun.



I miss the times where I could take a whole 2 weeks out of the summer to vacation.

If you dump enough booze into me, I could be convinced to sing these at a karaoke bar:

I'm not sure if I would sing very well drunk, I sing well when I'm not drunk.. but I love to sing.. I would definitely sing these with some alcohol in me.

I'll Be by Edwin McCain

Come onnnn.. it's such a 90s ballad that I could envision myself singing completely and totally drunk.. swaying and all.. trying to coerce the rest of the karaoke bar to sing along with me.

I Will Remember You by Sarah McLachlan

Again.. similar effect as 'I'll Be'.. with the exception that I would probably use my arms to make many a drunken hand gestures.. I can see this happening as well.

La Vie Boheme by RENT

I would sing the entire soundtrack. Beginning to end.. I would love to sing 'Light My Candle' with male accompaniment. I absolutely love the fun-ness of 'La Vie Boheme' though. Seems like a good drunken song.

Home?

It's weird.. home doesn't feel like home anymore.

Western doesn't really feel like home either.

..my boyfriend's house honestly feels the most like home.

Well, I'm at least content there..
Actually, incredibly happy there.
But, only because he's there.

..none of them truly feel like home.

I don't think they really will until I have my own home.

Until then I just jump from place to place..
never honestly settling anywhere, and this is the life I'll live.
For awhile.

..one day I'll have a home again..

I just.. feel like a visitor.

Nothing is permanent, yet.

Sigh.

I've finally decided what I want to do with my life.

Wow. Has been awhile. Many apologies.

So. I think I've figured out what I want to do with my life. And I just realized.. it's not advertising.. it's marketing. But, advertising is really just a small hop away from marketing, so I think an advertising degree would still be a good idea. I realized today that I want to design promotional materials for companies. I think that falls into the category of marketing.

What I mean is, the stuff that hangs all around the store, I want to make that stuff. Like, signs and posters and promotional materials.. now I need to figure out what exactly that is. A background in advertising will be helpful. Besides, your college major doesn't matter as long as you are good at what you do.

So yes. I have decided.. for now.. what I want to do with the rest of my life. Now I need to figure out what exactly it is. I know it is marketing, but that is about all I know. Creative product promotion materials.. something like that.

It honestly sounds like lots of fun. To work within a company and come up with stuff that draws people into the store. It sounds like a job that I would enjoy.

Yay.. I suppose. That is all for now.
