crime and punishment

consequences of a super crazy awesome weekend of fun
-no clean thermal socks
-pen constellations on your face
-very sore inner thighs and groin area
-extra pounds of grilled cheese and cake
-a strong reluctance to return to college and responsibility

its the most wonderful time of the year

tomorrow, after celebrating with my grandma, i will be heading to my favorite place in all of the universe. it is a little place called lutsen, and while there i will be participating in my favorite activities

1)watching tv on dvd
2)eating grilled cheese and birthday cake
3)spending three days in sweatpants
4)muffin and sri

i listened to them when they were cool

while at school i have discovered that i have two really big pet peeves and they are as follows

1. people who talk through emotional climaxes of movies of tv shows-if we are watching the scene in hp5 when sirius dies, don't say "wait, who is he again and why is harry so sad?" RIGHT as he is falling behind the archway. If they are turning off the life support of julia robert's character in steal magnolias, don't ask "why are they killing her" in the middle of it. also, don't ever speak during any portion of legends of the fall, ever.

2. just because nobody else knows the band that you listen to, DOES NOT make them cool. and just because someone's favorite band had a really catchy pop hit in the nineties does not mean that it is uncool to like them or that all of the music they make right now is like that. (cough cough hanson cough cough) just because something is mainstream, doesn't mean it is therefore unhip or geeky to enjoy it. i like hsm, and hanson, and the color pink, DEAL.

thats all
oy with the poodles already

resolutions, documented forever in the interwebs

1. the boring one but i want to lead a healthier lifestyle, more time at the ray, more food groups, less gourmet gummi bears

2. stop spending so much time w/ john and ramon of the seven eleven, i know them too well

3. see hanson in concert, talk to at least one of the hanson brothers

4. go treasure hunting, like in national treasure but less dangerous

5. finally get my tattoo

6. stop fake friendships, get rid of the people in my life who don't deserve my support, surround myself w/ people who make me feel good about myself

7. try new foods, except for squid or other weird fish

emotional new years post

it took me less than a week to fall right back into my edina lifestyle. I lived in chicago for two and a half months and i have a really awesome life there but on break i went right back to sleeping until three and eating my mom's breakfast and going to starbucks and a movie and that was a eventful day. As much as i love it here, i CANNOT stay here. Of course i will miss it but that is no reason to stay here.

I also miss chicago. i miss class, i miss my new friends, i miss professors, i miss living on my own and being annoyed with the people on my floor (except for 104.5) i miss laughing about stupid things with kelly and being sarcastic w/ nina and giggling with the girls of seton hall. I love all of my friend from high school, they mean the world to me and always will and are irreplacable. I'm soo bummed that i'll be back at class while they get to gt into shenanigans here but if i have to spend another week in this bubble of a suburb of minneapolis i'm gonna burst.

so here is my message it the inter-nets and the world of blog readers: i love you, thank you for dealing w/ the boring posts of break, get ready chicago, i've been gone for awhile but taylor obrien is on her way back and ready to be in the city again and possible start trouble, to the people of edina, i love you i'll miss you and will see six of you over presidents day weekend :)

i'm not saying i hated all of break, coffee with laura was fun and there were other evening activities that i thoroughly enjoyed ;) sorry but a winky smiley face emoticon is what best portrays that sentiment, you know?

much love, talk to you in chicago

stupid hobbit

very few things excite me as much as cheesy potatoes and ham, in fact, i can't even think of one right now.

mmmmm

what is this feeling so sudden and new

there is a new love in my life, and you will all be happy to hear that it isn't an inappropriate crush on an unattainable boy or an obsession w/ a 90's pop band, it goes further than that
