Curiosity of curiosities

So I have several question for all, well, three of you.
#1, should I sell the theory book of my major? ($30 vs. a lifetime of social theory knowledge at my fingertips)
#2, should I look into this seemingly awesome Jumble Bag website, with $5 free shipping, with LED potential?

Oh, good news, I'm done with Social Theory!!!

Bad news, or What I Learned This Last Semester; when a boy asks "Darling, do you want to go on a lovely trip with me?", you must almost always translate it into, "Darling, do you want to drive us both to this lovely place 8 hours away and pay for gas?" or simply "I need a ride."

...ever so slightly annoyed

Zombie in Drag vs Catty Shack!

Last week, whilst I made sandwiches and smoothies for Linfield kiddies, a drag show in a little place in Portland that was ZOMBIE THEMED occurred. I'm devastated, but I take solace in the fact that this existed at all, in the universe. Somehow, somewhere, its magic has rubbed off on me...it's some sort of Buddhist karma idea that way. Right? Right?!

Anyways, I would just like to say that I'm really not at all in bad mood though all of my blogs are pretty pessimistic, but the only time I feel like writing/ can be creative at all is when I have something to complain about! A good female complaint story really gets my creative juices flowing.

I just finished my french oral final, now I just have to do my essay and other essay and test and other essay! Woot! the end is....well, it exists now, anyways.

Oh and the Philip/ Me thing is official now I guess, though we really were before anyways. Just keeping everybody (3 followers) updated.
Anybody else notice that Family Guy just isn't funny anymore? Eh? eh?

Time to practice guitar and make a condom poster out of procrastination!


Ok, so since I just made this blog yesterday, I thought I might as well add to it rather than make a whole new one.
My anthro advisor/ social theory prof gave me a CD of Xavier Rudd and now I am obsessed. Not just of this random Australian(?) musician but of becoming the pet of the SoAn department. I WILL live on the couch in there, I WILL paint on their wall, and I WILL be adored.
Creepy new life goals are so invigorating.

The First Time I Even Seriously THOUGHT the Term 'Dirty Townies' Towards Specific Individuals

So Kristina, you know how you came to visit last weekend? Be happy you missed the attack of the townies.
In my hall. Almost in my ROOM.
So very smelly. Like a br in the downtown in between an artists' cafe with windows tinted so dark you don't know when it's open and an anime porn theatre covered in out-of-date posters for unknown musicians touring in the cafe.
Like Pabst's, cheap cigarettes and piss.
but not so much on the piss part, thankfully.
Anyways, the worst part is really the VERY loud sex from the room next door (slaps and 'Bitch's included) and the never ending assault of comedic (but quite serious) "Is that yo boyfren?", "Can I have yo number? I say, can I HAVE it?"
Meh...at first it was hilarious, then kinda entertaining, then just very smelly and 3 am on a weeknight.
Not a fun progression when this noise is your neighbor's fault.
It's all over now, I hear they were finally all kicked out by campo.
thankfully. (I swear I didn't call them, this must have been the rest of the building's sentiments as well though)

'I' week is almost over and I can get my boy back for the last week and a half of classes. Woot!

Ready, Set, Life!



So I've realized I've done myself no favors by putting off all forms of productivity until, well, this week. I've just gotten more depressed, and that's just no fun for anyone. That's why my new regime of working out 3-4 times a week/ lazing in any form of sunlight/ eating happy healthy food hasn't actually improved my mood at all.
My GPA is going to seriously suffer from this semester, and there isn't much I can do about that, but what bothers me more is that this is like, week 7 of this never-ending state of blaahh.
Whatever, 'nough of this boring woes-is-me,

Dance!

oh, yeah, I just giggled when I saw this pic. So either it's the adorable kittens telling you that the universe is meaningless, or they're trying to tell you that the universe is meaningless over a picture of adorable kittens so that you don't believe them, because the kittens are so adorable. Or they don't like cats.
In any case, trying not to be a downer, so I'm adding another image. The one to the left is what Chloe's and my apartment would(will? <3)look id="gwProxy" type="hidden">

Again and again, again and againnn

I know I just did a blog, but I lack the skills for another creative outlet and it has recently occurred to me that that might be what's missing in my life. That and a good work out regime. Also maybe live music pplz ( I miss my old musicians, where art thou?).

Anyways, given my lack of ability to focus on homework, and my sudden loss of interest in my major, I've been spending a lot of time making my self feel better by internet surfing. I've come across a few things that I knew existed, but forgot about.
One of these is MyLifeisTwilight.
http://www.mylifeistwilight.com/
Go. See. Make fun. Enjoy.
It's like MyLifeisAverage, but minus the Win. Any Win. There is very little Win to be found on MLIT, unlike MLIA.

Anyways, I've kinda run out of things, despite my stalking of Geekologie, and the gut feeling that I have as to the true extent of the great wide internet world (that isn't just porn) that I have yet to discover. Any suggestions?

In my theory class we are discussing the black market organ trade of the world, globalization, and women's right issues. It's going to be a fun discussion come next week. It's pretty interesting, yet scary. I had never even heard of the folktale that tourists were kidnapped and had their organs stolen, but now I'm concerned (even though it was proven to be false, for the most part). I'm sure I don't need both kidneys that much, but all the same, I would really rather not have to deal with that.
I'm not sure why I brought that up.
But now I'm not going to bother deleting it.

and a pox upon my laptop battery (or at least another one)

I need to start doing these blogs more regularly, but I generally have very little to say in the way of 'interesting' or 'I want to waste your time on it'.
But I would like to say that there is an ever growing list of movies that I want to see as my bank account remains lacking in movie funds, and my brain remains lacking in knowledge of how to (illegally) download such things.
And now the government is going to start tracking this.
which actually does my heart good, because then I can imagine a CIA or FBI or someothergovernmentorganization guy sitting around, reading about how much I like fish and Lady Gaga.
>_< :D
It's the little things in life.

But really it's about being obnoxious and glamorous and ridiculous until you're a beautiful corpse, or a 43 yr old that is actually a 25 yr old that is really a 16 yr old. At heart. =)

oh yeah, that list of movies.
If any of you have seen these, please give m your reviews!
-Alice in Wonderland. I'm so disappointed in myself
-Repo Men. Not so sure about it, it might just be Repo the Genetic Opera, but not awesome and sans singing. which is even less awesome.
-Kick Ass. I don't think this is even out yet, but I want to see it!
-erm...I know there were more, but I've been up reading about Globalization social theory, so my brain is just repeating unnecessary things I already know...
- An Education! This came out 8 million years ago, but I never saw, but heard it was brilliant.

ehh, I don't know. Any good movie recommendations (even that I can find at the library), world?

Warms My Swedish Heart!

All I can think about is pickled herring...
O.o Omygod, if you've never had it, you have no idea what you're missing out on.
It's the candy of pickled, smelly food. The Cadberry Cream Egg of my summer. The only thing I can live off of at my Aunt Joy's (because everything else is either cake or beef) and warms my Swedish heart!
Now my scandihoovian roots are coming back with a vengeance!
(drools) :P (that is drool, not a tongue...I couldn't think of another way to do it)
alas, all I have are these sweet pickles (which taste similar, amazingly).
Also, I want lutefisk! ZOMG it's so gooood

I have no idea why I'm blogging about this, btw, I just have nothing else to talk about...

Oh, maybe I'm homesick, of sorts. I missed the Swedish festival for Easter that my family used to go to (which would be awkward now, after the divorce and all, but whatevs).
mmm Swedish fooood.
