love/hate

Once again, I'm sitting in my 8 hours of lecture class, and I'm falling asleep again. I figure it is better to be on my computer at least looking productive at this piece of technology rather than sleep passed out on my desk with a little bit of drool coming out of my mouth

anyway

this post is about things that i love, things that i hate, and things that are neither here nor there.

i won't lie to you... i kind of hate people that update their twitter every half hour. that is why I don't do it. however.... I have had a few random thoughts while sitting in class today. and i love random thoughts. Rather than assault you with fifteen updates in a row, I will dump these miscellaneous thoughts here.
  • I love corn dogs. Matt turned on the food channel the other day and this particular show was highlighting corn dogs.. just now I got an email mentioning corn dogs again... soon the fair is coming up and corn dogs are a main staple of that.... looks like i have them on the brain. i will never outgrow corn dogs
  • I love when you say something sly and someone actually recognizes it. 9 out of 10 times i think my comments just slide right past people. this is why i love caitlin haire. she always catches them
  • I love culture. This class on china makes me really want to do something in my future with china. also... I really want to speak spanish and chinese. life goal, yes? 
  • i hate birthdays. it's official. mine always suck. sam is the only thing i look forward to on my birthday. 
  • occasionally i wish i could make myself into a social recluse.. but i love people too much. it doesn't even really work in theory.
  • i love the fair
  • i love idaho
  • i kind of hate that all of my friends are getting married/are married/have kids/etc. it makes me feel behind and i'm really not. i want to enjoy my youth!!
  • i love smart people
  • i hate job hunting
  • i hate when people that don't know me try to tell me how i am
  • i hate not knowing the future
  • i'm scared of the dark, dentists, and needles
  • i love my best friends. they complete my life. [marisa caitie sam!]
  • i love my summer roommates. we will always live together in my heart [caitlin ashlee!]
  • sometimes i get motion sickness from the roller coaster that is my life
  • i just got my first C ever in my entire life (i've never even had a straight up B before!!) and i surprisingly don't even care. it's weird. i thought i would... but i don't. stick it to the man, C+
  • i love/hate school
  • i love lightning and storms... i know, cliche... but there's some truth rooted in it. who doesn't like to watch those bright white streaks blast the sky?! 
  • i. love. motorcycles.        seriously i swear if a boy rides a motorcycle i'm automatically interested
  • note: bullet bikes don't count. boys that ride bullet bikes generally think they're the shiz. and they aren't. ew. i'll never again date a boy with a bullet bike
  • i love four wheelers, jet skis, cabins, nature walks, stargazing, canoe rides, or miscellaneous other activities like this... but i'm not really outdoorsy at all. i suck at adventurous things. i don't really like water or swimming... i'm not very big into camping or hiking or cliff diving or whatever. camping is fine, but not my favorite. i think i'm just not used to it.
  • i love the city though. 
  • i don't really ever watch tv. i'd rather be out doing something... i'm definitely only a social movie watcher. i love movies. i just don't watch them by myself
  • i love sleep.
  • i love the nighttime
  • i love eating out with friends
  • i love music. when i like a cd, i listen to it over and over and over for about a month straight.... then i find a new cd. currently it's the new parachute album... they were awesome live (better than the headliner, i thought) and the album was only like $6.99 on itunes! 
  • i love being happy
  • i love the summertime more than i knew i did. i love each season for different reasons... but there's just something inherently wonderful about the summer
well. that half hour of free write was nice. now back to the history of political development in china

News

So much happening today! I love not paying attention to today's 7 hours of lecture because I'm just sitting in the back of the classroom reading the news on my laptop... only three more days...

Things that I'm loving today:
  • Props to Bill Clinton!
  • Happy birthday to Pres Obama!
  • Interesting... I'm glad I'm not a marine...
  • Bob Barker: "I’m not an expert on bears. I’m an expert on giving away refrigerators"
Then I get to leave class early to go to Orem with Ashlee! Could this day get any better? 

No, i submit that it cannot.
