Another Late Night/Early Morning Post

Guess who's got a date on Friday??? :D

Anyway. I am awake at 4 in the morning for no reason at all. I tried to go to sleep at 12 and it didn't work very well. So, being the industrious person I am, I grabbed my needle and continued on Cyd's Auburn Blanket. Now, every time I pick it up, I think to myself, "would I be burned at the stake if I walked on campus with this?" Probably, but hopefully it will be done before I have to head off. Speaking of which, I HAVE A TRUNK. that is all. I am really excited about my trunk. And because I am in an afghan mood (how could I not be?) I think I'm gonna make one to cover it because said trunk is going to double as a coffee table in my dorm room. Idk if my roommate and I will get along. We haven't formally met yet, but she seems nice on facebook. She's sporty. Now, as much as I love soccer and ultimate frisbee, I am not sporty. I'm also not girly or religious. She is. Can you say exact opposites? This shall be interesting.

So, I've just watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and it has occured to me that I need to get working on my Slytherin costume for Deathly Hallows 1 and LeakyCon and Deathly Hallows 2. I am deeply envious of my friend Elliot, whose graduation present was to go to the Wonderful World of Harry Potter. He has his Ravenclaw robes, wand, and broom. I have none. ENVY OUT THE WAZOO!!!!

I really hope this late night/early morning blogging doesn't become a habit. In the mean time, hasta luego, my cohorts. :D

Long Time, No See, Losers!

So, who missed me?

Well, don't everyone speak up at once! I'm kidding. So halfway into summer and I've only gone swimming once. It sucks. HOWEVER, I have been watching Doctor Who, drinking smoothies, and knitting up a storm. OH! and of course, I've had Futbol Fever! Watching the World Cup and playing soccer/ultimate with my friends every Monday.

You may notice that I am writing this at 5 in the morning. Well, I couldn't sleep so I got out of bed, turned on Doctor Who, got out my yarn and proceeded to indulge and get some work done. Lately, I've been working on a blanket for my best friend Cydney. She's going of to college soon (as am I) and I decided to make her something for her dorm room. While I am headed off to University of Alabama (Roll Tide!), she is headed to our rival school, Auburn U. So, inspite of my strong distaste for the orange and blue color combo (really guys, what were you thinking with that one), I have been slaving away crocheting this blanket. Now, I'm relatively new to crochet, even though my aunt swears by it. So, it figures that my second project is a granny square blanket (my first was a single crochet beanie). So far, it is coming along well. I've made 35% of this thing and the bigger it gets, the longer it takes to finish.
As you can see, it's already quite large. And I've added 3 stripes to that. I'm onto my 2nd skein of each color. I don't know if I'll need more. I hope not. But, it seems to be going fast, so I just might. You can find the pattern here. It's really simple and I absolutely love it. I don't know if i'll make my own in Bama Crimson and White, but it's a good pattern to have on file.

Well, it is officially light outside. I'm going to end this here and see if I can get some sleep before I have to be up in 3 hours.

Roses are red, Violets are blue......and you'll need them to woo your girl! ROMANCE 101

Hello! I know I said I was back permanently a while ago, but exams and such got in the way. But, since I am a graduating senior and no longer have anymore exams, I am free to blog as I see fit.

Now, nothing much has been up with me lately, except my 2 best friends finally started dating and i couldn't be happier for them. Except when they take advantage of me driving everywhere.....

Well, on the topic of romance (not involving me, we already know that story), I've been commissioned to write a romance manual for a romantically inept friend of mine. He has no clue how to romance a girl. He thinks the way to a woman's heart is through her vagina. Sorry to break it to you, it's not. So, I am going to write a how-to-guide and hope it helps. Otherwise, I don't know what to do to help him.

Romancing a Girl Rule #1: Flowers are not completely necessary, but nice.

Not all girls like roses. I know I don't. I'd rather have daisies. But that is just me. It is preferable that you know the girl's favorite flower and give her a single one or a bouquet, depending on the occasion. If you are just starting to date, a bouquet is nice. It means you really want to woo her. But if you have been dating a while, a single flower is nice for just everyday kinda thing. But to really woo her, surprise her randomly with a bouquet. She'll be like "What's the occasion?" and there isn't one. You just want her to feel special. Remember, that is the goal: MAKE HER FEEL SPECIAL.

Just as a side note, these rules aren't in any order, just as the come to my head.

Well, tune in tomorrow for Rule #2.

Blue Rain Coats

So, about BEDA......I lied. Oh well. Too much going on anyway. No time to blog every day. I can barely make a video every Tuesday.

Anywho..........I don't know what to write about. Did I tell you about my new best friend? His name is Alexander and I love him to pieces. Unfortunately, and he knows this, I do not love him more than I love Cydney. But he's over that. But, he doesn't believe that I love Cyd more than he does. Naive little boy. Actually, he's not little. He's quite tall. AND HIS SHOULDERS ARE SOOOOOOO BROAD. anyway........

I don't know what else to talk about.

Tell me what to talk about.

I'll talk about it next blog.

PEACE

BEDA....NaNoWriMo in disguise

Mmkay, time for BEDA! Who's excited? I know I am. So, nothing really to blog about today. I'm writing a new novel. I'm going to be posting it on worthofpublishing.com under the penname Alexandria Bennett.....might change that at some point. But anyway. First chapter is done. I'm still trying to figure out how to transition from the 1st chapter to the other 4 i've written that are way far away from the 1st.......let's do this!!!!! Mmkay, back to my lousy writing that I will not get paid for because I think my writing is shit and it will stay that way for as long as I live, but I will not stop.

PEACE

Good Morning Blog Readers!

I have been up since 8 doing nothing because I lied about going to an AP Review Session.....at least I am out of the house. Since I left, I have listened to screamo in my car, talking to one of the besties, and watched adorable pomeranian puppies on YouTube.

That wasn't important, really, was it? In IMPORTANT news, I have started writing again. YAY! I'm about 3,000 words into my next novel. I really hope i finish it. What I have so far looks pretty good, but of course I will have to send it to my editor (CYDNEY, THAT WOULD BE YOU). I told bestie Alex about it and he was like "You like writing about depressing things." No, I just like writing about troubled people. It's that damsel-in-distress-where-the-hell-is-my-night-in-shining-armor mentality.

Recently, I've been following Maureen Johnson on Twitter (yes I have a twitter, @JodiAlexandria). I really like her writing style and the way she carries herself as a writer. I think I might go to Barnes and Noble and pick up a ton of books to inspire me. I'll keep you posted about the novel and other business about my life.

PEACE

Today Was All Full of FAIL

Rule #1: NEVER become friends with your bestfriend's significant other. It just leads to awkward situations.

Rule #2: When you've come to the conclusion that all of your friends are gorgeous, assume that they want to date each other, therefore, leading to more awkward situations, find some really ugly friends.

Rule #3: If you don't follow Rules 1 and 2 and awkward situations insue, run/skate/drive as quickly as possible in the other direction.

Now, if you are like me, it took you til Rule #3 to realize you need new unattractive friends.
