A new hobby?
I’ve become entranced by sports lately but not the “normal” ones. With the Australian Open now over, ESPN better come up with something to fill my TV viewing hole for the next two weeks until the Olympics start.
The last few nights we have been watching the Winter X-Games leading up to tennis. The tricks those guys can do on frozen, fluffy, recompacted water is beyond me. I...

Write one leaf about typing.
(via writeoneleaf)
Sometimes I just want to type. I never know what to type, so I don’t do it. I like typing. I guess it makes me think I’m writing, which technically I’m doing now. I just don’t have anything to say. Oh hum.
Australian Open’s almost over. What will I do with my evenings?!

Grown-up snack on the go!
Little kids snack on juice boxes and Goldfish from their strollers. I stroll on my feet eating the grown-up version: Goldfish and Redbull.
I meant to take a picture, but I forgot.
Dear Nameless-Paper-Owner
In case you haven’t noticed, we are sitting in a college Calc2 class. Keyword college. It is now expected that you both know, and can spell, your first, middle and last names. If you can’t manage to put your name on calc homework, how did you manage bubbling in your name on the ACT or SAT tests? Or filling out college applications? Your drivers liscence form? Medical papers? It’s...

Write one leaf about the iPad.
writeoneleaf:
It may be too soon, but there seem to be a lot of opinions floating around the electro-web today about Apple’s iPad announcement, so we might as well write some down. Make a prediction. Say ho-hum. Make fun of the name.
Have at it.
Honestly, I like it. I’m excited about it. I’m a journalism major (and math minor?) and even though it pains to me to think of the...

Tomato. Tamato.
In Sweet Home Alabama (with Reese Witherspoon and McDream [Patrick Demspey]), Mel’s [Reese] deep southern accent adapts to her location. My apparent mid-western one is getting more mid-western. I’m stretching my As. Like I’m Bahhhhing, Like a sheep. But, I shouldn’t bahhhhh. I should Moooo!
I guess I’m getting lazy. Or tired. Maybe my As are tired. Or they feel left...

Why am I taking Calc2?
Ooooh right. Math minor.
What was I thinking?! I wish I had someone here to take a picture of me doing calc homework with my 8million piece of paper and text book scattered around me. Thursday’s quiz won’t be any better than last Thursday’s.

Please?
Ask me questions. I’m bored and always looking for a new distraction.

Dear Ugg-Wearing-college-student,
Please buy rubber rain boots, a.k.a golashes and wear them on poor weather days. While watching you practice your ballet leaps over puddles is cute, it’s time consuming. I don’t like being in rain, therefore I am sprinting to my next class.
Thanks,

Dear Tumblr,
It’s time I do homework. I got up at a decent hour. Went to an enjoyable breakfast. Watched TV. Goofed off on the Internet, spending hours between Facebook and you. It’s time to part for the day. Or at least the hour. I have a case study to study. And a calc problem to solve.
Love,
TheSmoo

I refer to people by first and last names.
I usually to do this just in conversation with my parents (or in reference to a Kate) to cut down the length of said conversation because they’d cut me off with ‘Who?’. It got worse when I started referring to people as what I call them to their face. You know, nicknames - which in my life, tend to be the first 2-3 letters of their first name, original I know. My parents now know...

I had to unfollow Blogsecret.
At first, I loved it. Thought it was the coolest thing ever. So close to it’s obviously inspiration, Postsecret. Then the secrets, no offense, started sucking. All about people that wanted love, or to hurt themselves or other. They were all Debbie Downers. It wasn’t a thread for me to follow anymore. I wanted deep, “Oh snap!” secrets that could ruin lives, like “I...

15-hour Time Difference
My ideal night would involve cuddling in front of the TV after chinese food. Spending a Friday/Saturday night in would ‘repair’ me for the following week. I just need a boy… Or just hanging out around the TV or a board game with friends works too.
I’m really not a going-out-to-parties person, and I don’t want to make knee surgery or hopping on planes to fly 1100...

Foreboding?
I’m watching this weeks TiVo-ed CSI. My TiVo told me it was about a murdered famous golfer at a high profile event. Is it foreboding? Or taking one last stab at the obvious?
