many things crammed into one post

i made the mistake yesterday of showing my friend my blog. luckily i hadn't said anything bad about her. unfortunately i mentioned that i may or may not have "missed"her over winter break a while back.

her name is michele.

we look like this together. lately a lot of people have been asking us if we went to high school together. the answer is no. we did not. is it so weird that two people instantly 'click' when they first meet? no! is that the case for michele and me? again, no.

see we had a mutual friend, Angel. keyword-HAD. he is no longer our friend, nor lauras, no beccas. he is not a good friend, hence the not being friends with him part. i have posted a picture and talked about him in this blog post from earlier.

note to self blog post 

if you care for a picture of him...click da link.

michele on the other hand is a good friend, minus the abusing me, and minus the whole loving cats thing. other than that she's pretty alright. we get along. hang out a lot. have similar interests.  the whole nine yards.

i discovered a new guy on the youtube....he is honestly hilarious, plus SUPER hot. 

"Make a Video About It"

his name is Jimmy Tatro. 

check him outtt.

my camera is back from Japan! a few months ago i noticed my lens cover thing was dented, and then my camera wouldn't open all the way since i still have insurance we sent it in to get fixed. it is now fixed....yay! debby downer.....the button you press to actually take a picture used to be super smooth and easy to press. now it is super sticky or something.....not ideal, but it'll do. plus right this second my memory card won't come out. kinda disappointing.

side-note: i know this is kinda gross, but its a nervous habit. the biting of the nails is still happening. unpleasant as one might assume. 

lent. boo. i am really going to try to not have any meat this lent. it will be hard but i will prevail. also by the end of lent i hope to reduce my swearing to almost none. its kinda hard now, but giving up swearing for lent is probably what i really need right now. i don't feel right when i swear all the time, and lent is to make you focus on what really matters. 

finally got my memory card out. unfortunately, yet again, i failed to remember that my computer does not read my cameras memory card so i need the chord to hook it up. i have many pictures to be uploaded. this will take years to blog about

my roommate laura, who I'm fairly certain you all are familiar with, is making me read "The Hunger Games". the movie is to come out soon. i conversed about this book with my mom and sister. like everyone else in the world, my sister thoroughly enjoyed these books. my mom, on the other hand, did not. she couldn't even get into them. so  heres my dilemma. i saw the trailer for the movie; looks fabulous. read the back of the book for a little "sneak preview" if you will; sound dumb dumb dumb. i understand its a made up story so its gonna sound a little funky...but really? fighting to the death? i don't know.....
plus lately i've only been really reading true stories (SPEAKING OF WHICH----finished the glass castle; great book, great ending, all around, I'm really happy i finished it), nonfiction work. so this made-up fairy tale doesn't really seem to toot my horn right about now. but I'm going to give it a go... btw i am procrastinating reading this book right now by blogging. hence the super long post :) i just feel like if i pick out a book i really wanna read, I'm gonna read it and enjoy it. but if someone tells me i "have" to read it or i "should" or if its even an assigned book, its gonna detour me from reading it. i told laura she "best back off" so i can have my space to read. so far, not working out so well....i'll keep you updated as to how it goes.



last part will be short



my father is doing well. the swelling has gone down significantly, he's walking, being fed through a feeding tube, and talking is getting easier. who knows, maybe he'll get to go home early. speaking of which, I'm going home again this coming weekend. this is exactly what i need. i miss not being home.
