The time where I rant and get angry at a fictional character.

Ok, so I'm rereading Eclipse right now. I wanted to read it again before the movie came out, and since I'm going to start reading Harry Potter next week I thought I would squeeze some Eclipse action in this week. I have this one little bone to pick with Bella Swan:

Why the crap is it a big deal to get married to Edward Cullen?!

I know she goes on to say that Charlie and Renee got married and then things got bad and blah blah blah. Here's what I have to say to that...

1. You're not your momma. Just sayin.

2. It's freaking Edward Cullen. Half of the world right now wants to marry Edward Cullen. (The other half is either straight men or Team Jacob. Whatever.)

3. You're going to spend the rest of your life with him anyways. So why not just get in a fancy wedding dress and have a party. You've already decided to be with him forever by making yourself a vampire (which seems a hella lot more intense than exchanging some wedding vows..), so why not just say all that jazz (well, maybe not the vampire part..) in front of your family. Seems pretty simple to me. Plus, this gets Edward off your back and then he will actually turn you. Seems like a win-win..

Anyways, I'm done with that now. Just, quit making a big deal Bella Swan. Freaking A.

Also, both Edward and Jacob are making me mad right now. Don't tell my cousin. She doesn't need to know that Eddie is making me mad. I have a strong Team Edward loyalty to show off. (She's Team Jacob. One of them crazies..)

Spring Cleaning.

I think I should start off by saying that I hate cleaning with a mighty, mighty passion. I also hate unpacking about as much as I hate packing. But when I can't find clothes because they are still in trash bags from when I moved back home, something needs to be done.
So today, I started my version of "spring cleaning".

After first tackling the 2 large trash bags of clothing that I had yet to unpack and putting them away, I decided that I should just go through all of my clothes.
Because, let's face it, I had a lot of clothing that was too small/I wasn't wearing.
After going through 2 dresser drawers and half of my closet, I currently have refilled those 2 trash bags with clothes that will be taken to Goodwill.
Tomorrow I will handle the other part of my closet and the other 2 dresser drawers.

Eventually I might even get to cleaning the other part of my room.

Oh, and the best things I found today in my closet:
2 Dorothy dresses from past Halloween costumes
1 dance costume from my dancing days when I was a young child
annnnnnnd....
1 Hanson poster

Allllllso..... I just joined Twitter. I held off as long as I could. So, you know, you can follow me if you so like: @cordray1

Good-bye TSU. Hello Life.

I graduated from college Saturday. It still seems pretty weird to be done with all of it. I feel like this morning I should have woke up and made the walk to Barnett for World Geography and try to guess whether or not Wolfgang would be wearing his same black jeans again.

I've thought about what I was going to write about for graduation for a while now. And it has changed 3 different times. Going from something funny, to something more serious, to something completely different. And since serious conversations tend to make me uncomfortable, I've decided to go with something a little light.

10 Things I Will Miss About You, Truman State University and Surrounding Kirksville:

1. Ophelia Parrish (the art building). OP, I'll admit it, I really hated you there for a while. I loathed having to pry myself off of my couch to make the venture to you. And I sometimes hated every second of my visit. But you were my second home in KVegas. And for that, I thank you.

2. The Mighty MO. Ohhhh Mighty MO. When it came to dining hall food, you topped the list. With your 2 hamburgers and cheese and bun that was sometimes a little hard on the bottom, you were a little heart attack waiting to happen. But I loved every bite.

3. Humans vs Zombies. You all are a crazy people. And intense as all get out. But you sure as hell were entertaining.

4. Pancake City. Or more commonly known by the college folk as "Shittys". Where else will I ever be able to go at 3 am to get me some Reese's pancakes with a side of bacon while still getting that hometown feel?

5. Winter. Everyone reading this who has lived in or visited Kirksville in the winter months is wondering why the crap this is on my list. Winters in KVille suck balls. It is cold and snowy and Truman never lets classes out. But it really was pretty. And I do love snow...as long as I don't have to walk anywhere in it.

6. Using the excuse "but I'm a college student.." Because, let's face it, I'm kind of a grown up now. But I will never act like one. So now I have to find another excuse for my immaturity.

7. Brother Jed. Bro Jed, you are a crazy, passionate man and I don't believe in everything you have to say. But everytime you came to campus I knew you were there before I even saw you. Because when there is loud yelling coming from one male voice and a crowd of college students surrounding that one male, it can only mean one thing: Brother Jed is in town.

8. True Men. I'm really sad that I was only able to really see you guys twice this year. I could listen to you fells sing all day long.

9. Hidden Treasures. My thrift store of choice. I visited you several times for several reasons. Whether it was for taking pictures for my photography class, getting the perfect plaid shirt for my awesome KStew ensemble, or just because I was bored and wanted to check things out, you always delivered.

10. College Life. I loved college. I loved the atmosphere. I loved walking through the quad on a nice day and seeing students laying on blankets or playing frisbee. I loved seeing students being passionate about whatever they were doing, whether it was in the classroom or at some other event. I will miss it all.


So Truman State University, thanks for the lasat 4 years. They were some good times. I did some things that I will remember forever. I met some fantastic people that will remain friends for the rest of my life.

Good-bye TSU. I'll try to visit often.
