It's November... When did this happen?

Well, I've neglected my blog for over a month now, and this is sad due to the fact that it isn't a very old blog. I kind of fail. So, the 2 people who actually read this... I apologize.

It's been a crazy time since I've last posted, so I'll try to fill you in on what's happened.

Titus 'n' Two Gents happened! That was a huge part of my life here at Milligan.
If you weren't aware, I took part in condensed versions of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus and Two Gentlemen of Verona.
This epic evening of two plays took place in the middle of October, and it went really well!
It was a relief when it was all over, but I do miss it now.
What I think I loved most of all, was that I got closer to many of the cast members.
Some great friendships are being strengthened this semester! Love it!









Brennan's Halloween Bash was a huge success!
I threw a costume party at my friend Danny's house,
And there was a great turn out, and fun was had by all.
Did we make a new tradition? I think we might have.
I dressed up as Robin, while my friend Jared dressed up as Batman.
Epic Win.











This past weekend, I traveled with the Swim Team to Swanee for an overnight meet.
It was a lot of fun! While the trip and the meet were long, I was able to hang out with some of my favorite people ever.



I'm trying to think of what else I need to fill people in on..
However, nothing really comes to mind...
Except for I have a 10 page rough draft due Friday,
And another 10 page paper due Monday.
I'm going to be writing a lot this week.
And I still don't have any personal drive to do any work.


I'm at work right now.
Listening to the Glee Soundtrack.
(I freaking love Lea Michele. I will probably marry her.)
I'm really bored.

So, that's it for now.
If you feel the need to inform me that I should inform you about something, be my guest.

Adam & Eve

Adam and Eve had it easy.

(Well, aside from the whole being kicked out of the Garden of Eden thing.)

But, for real.

They never had to question who they were going to be with.

They were the only two people on earth.
They didn't have to sort through 6 billion people.
No one telling them they can't be together.
No questions of sexual orientation,
No chance of cheating, or leaving for someone else.
No heartbreak or loneliness.
None of any of that sort.


It was simple.
Boy + Girl.
and that's it.

I envy them....

How To Save a Life.

It's been a crazy week!

Last Sunday, I went to an AMAZING concert.
The Fray was playing at ETSU.
I went with the guys I live with,
Because Garrett gave me his ticket.
It was so much fun!

This week has been kind of hectic,
Even though I only had 3 days of classes.
So much homework crammed in those 3 days.

However, I made it home for fall break!
A well needed break...
I was about to explode. haha.

The road trip back with Alyssa and Lauren was great.
Plus, I got to stop in Evansville to visit with my good friend, Jenna
Even if it was only for 20 minutes.

I haven't really done a whole lot since I've been home.
Just been relaxing some.
Amanda came over last night,
And we watched a pretty epic movie.

Went to lunch with Amanda and Lane,
Flew Kites with Amanda this afternoon,
and Going to watch a Beatles tribute band.

I'm having a blast!

Blackout.

Oh, what a lazy 24 hours it has been.

Yesterday, I got done with my classes/work at 2,
And spent the rest of the afternoon sleeping
and catching up on Glee and The Beautiful Life online.

I had rehearsal last night,
but of course, being a Friday night,
I didn't want to be there.

However,
The angels must have heard my prayer!

We had a campus-wide power outage!
The entire campus was pitch black.
It was actually kind of scary. =)

Danny B and I decided to leave, however,
And make a trip to Barnes and Noble just to hang out.
Then we returned to my room,
And we watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer
While I continuously bugged him about a certain issue...
Haha.
I love our "man dates."

While most of my friends were off on the Sophomore Summit today,
I had swim practice this morning.
I had to do sprints.
I was not made for sprints.
It hurt. Bad.
But afterward, we went to IHOP.
And it was delish.

I then preceded to sleep most of the afternoon,
And made a trip to Wal-Mart with Garrett.
I love that guy. What a great friend.

I have not done anything constructive,
And I really don't plan on it.
Tomorrow... Maybe.
Homework is overrated anyways.
=)


It's still up in the air what I'm doing tonight.
We'll see what happens.

Get ready.
Go.

kiss & tell.

According to my director, I'm cute.

That is why I have 2 kissing scenes in our two shows.
One in each.
Both of the being two really good friends.
This should be interesting.

We are doing (condensed versions of)
William Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus
and Two Gentlemen of Verona.

It is going to be really good.

I get a lot of on stage action! Haha!

I am sitting here at work in the library.
Tonight, I work from 10 - 12.
This day of the week, it is a slow night here.

I should be working on an essay I have due Friday.
But really, who does homework?

So, have you ever had someone touch you,
And it sent shivers down your spine.
But you couldn't say anything about it
Because either that person is taken,
Or your friends won't like it,
Or it's just plain wrong?
That happened to me today.
Twice.

And I'm really not sure what to do about it.

Shrug it off, and try to move past it?
We'll see if that works for now.

Still no progress with the roomies today.
Not that I really saw them much at all.

So, I'm talking to my bestie Amanda right now.
I miss that girl. So much.
I'm trying to convince her that she needs to drive here now.
However, she "can't."
Lies.
Haha.

It's quiet in here...
Almost too quiet...

I might blare some music and dance around the library.
No adults are around....
Temptation.... ;)

While the world slept...

...I was awake for Swim Practice at 6 a.m.

Needless to say, getting up at 5:30, with only 4 or 5 hours asleep is pretty hellish.

However,

I do feel slightly accomplished this morning.

I'm getting in better shape, which is always nice.

While I have an hour break between practice and my first class,
I might take a shower, run back up to the caf and get some breakfast,
and mentally prep myself for the day.

I feel, however, a bit disconnected from the other guys in my suite.

A bit hesitant to blog about this,
but I'm fairly certain they won't be reading anytime soon.
And that's what bothers me a little bit.
They don't really care.
I mean, I try to talk to them,
and be friends with them.
Honestly, I do.
But most of the time, I'm ignored.
They have their own group of friends, and I get that.
I'm not trying to become all
"let's be best friends and hold hands and talk about our feelings,"
But to feel like I'm comfortable in my own living space would be nice.
You know?

Any suggestions?

I tried suggesting we all go out to dinner,
or have a movie night.
Those suggestions were kind of shrugged off.


Of course when I need sleep the most,
we have company over.
And I had to be the jerk to make them be quiet.
Twice.
I hated that, I really did.

I just... I don't know...
Still having a little difficulty adjusting this semester.

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall....

...make me the fairest of them all.

A little twist on the classic Snow White spell.

Instead of knowing....
Becoming.

Beauty.
If you could have it,
Would you take it?

We all have aspects of ourselves that we don't like.
If I could just loose a few pounds...
If my skin wasn't so oily...
If my hair would do what I wanted...
If only....

If you had the chance...

Would you change it?

Just some food for thought.
