Bored on a Saturday Night

My companion fell asleep after about 2.5 episodes of The West Wing. I remembered I had this blog and decided to mess with it. Don't judge it is a)not done & b)will probably look completely different tomorrow if I choose to once again undertake this endeavor that is the blogging world.

Here is some cuteness to tide you over:

Just to let you know

I'm not dead.
I've spent my days saving Hyrule, cursing the internet, daydreaming of working in an art gallery, watching Paul Giamatti don a wig and tights, eating fabulous but horrible for me holiday food, planning out my final college years, watching four New York women act stupid when it comes to sex (and loving every minute of it), and reading of a trip to sites that surround famous assassinations.

Winter break has been nice.





PS: Alexander Hamilton was a douche.

Lets Take One Step Back

I was sent a link by a friend of a interesting show that is in the works. It's about modern people wanting to be part of an arranged marriage. (Arranged Marriage TV)At first I was taken aback, it seemed ridiculous. Why would someone want to give up their chance at "true love"? But honestly, who the frak knows what love is?

We have been programmed through novels and movies to believe that we have "soul mates", a person that loves us no matter what, and love is this wonderful magical thing that we should all yearn to acquire. How many people do you know that have been able to obtain their perfect mate? We all just rush into one another's arms hoping this will be the one, if not we'll try our damndest to make him/her it. Of course we know, you can't change people. I've tried and failed....twice.

Honestly the idea of modern day arranged marriage has grown on me. It's completely voluntery. No worries of family alliances or money, just having the people that know you best pick out your future wife or husband. It takes away all that complication and lost feelings that go along with dating. You know this person wants to get married, if they want a family, and if they hold all the traits and interests (or at least a majority) that you want in a person, why not?

There are no soul mates, we're silly to believe that. There are people that are compatible and they work on their relationship. The relationship grows, the love grows, the people grow. I have over the past 2 1/2 years grown with a person, and its very clear, to at least me, that when you inspire and motivate the other person, when you laugh every day with them, sing with them, and want to take care of them that is love. But when you don't want the same future, that is heartbreak. You can grow to love a person, you can't change what they want out of life, so its best if you just get that out the way in the beginning.

It's scary, but if you think about it, it makes sense.

*please note that the author may be a bit bias, as she is a recently single 20 something that has no desire to take part in the ritual of dating again. She would like to get married to a mature devoted male with good music taste, have babies, make cupcakes, and pursue a career in graphic design.

Fabulous Fall

Starbucks has started serving their Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and I am overjoyed. They are hands down my favorite specialty drink from there. Nothing makes me happier than when I start seeing those orange, red, and brown colors entering retail shops. Ok well Im sure there are things that do make me happier, but just go with it. My favorite time of year is just around the corner, fabulous Fall! Unfortunately where I live, It takes a little longer for the leaves to start changing color and for the air to turn cooler. We're lucky if we get some cool days before November.

There is something about this time of year that changes people. The holidays are about to begin, the ovens are warming up, and the fireplaces are getting ready to be used again. I always find myself in a better mood when Im decorating the house with pumpkins and various spooky things for Halloween, and dreaming up what to cook up for Thanksgiving.
Baking is probably one of my favorite things during the season. The smell of apple crisps and pumpkin spice muffins fill my house up, and of course we always seem to gain about 10 pounds.
Im excited for this year. We are settled in our house,(last year we closed on our house on October 31st!), we're planning for hosting some get-togethers and I finally just feel at home.

As much as I do love Fall I don't think I will ever get the same feeling I got as a child during the season until maybe I have children of my own. I only hope to fill their childhoods up with all those pumpkin picking, cupcake decorating, Halloween parties, and Thanksgiving dinners I still find dear.
Oh yea, I also just bought my first bag of candy corn of the season:

My Hate Letter to Warner Brothers

Dear Warner Brothers,

You guys are nothing but a tease. As a representative of the many many nerdy Harry Potter fans in the Myrtle Beach area, I would like to say we hate you. We were all geared up, had our countdowns,our talks of Potter Parties, even today I looked and said "wow only 98 more days!" Then right before I was settling in to have a long night of reading, I decided to check some of my friend's blogs. There it was the information that you had pushed back the already very done, nothing more needs to be added/cut, highly anticipated 6th installment of the Harry Potter movies' opening date from November 21st 2008 to July 17th 2009. Are you bloody kidding me?! The movie is done.

You're breaking our hearts here, breaking our poor poor Potter hearts.

-Steffy

PS- I hope someone leaks the movie on the internet!


Poof! ‘Harry Potter’ flick bumped to summer
