Ode to Orson

That's right, Friends. I will be meeting the literary genius (AKA my favorite writer ever!!!), Orson Scott Card, on September 16th. One word...FANTASTIC. What would you ask someone brilliant like Orson?

Worst Ending Ever!!

I got a little obsessed with Dawson's Creek this summer. The library has a limited selection of media, besides I'm a sucker for teen romance. I ended up falling in love with the show. Enough to watch the entire first and second seasons, all that the library had to offer. I almost snuck a peak online to see what was to come in seasons 3,4,5, and finally 6. But I held out hoping that one day I'd grow rich and be able to buy the entire box set of all episodes. So yesterday I was killing time with my family in an area Target before my flight back to Utah. I went looking for a vid to watch on the plane. I don't believe in fate, but I struck gold...the series finale. The FINAL episode of Dawson's Creek. At last I'd know if Dawson got the girl. It was plane time aka time for an ending to this little melodrama. But of course my laptop battery died leaving me the rest of the flight to think of who I'd make my last call to should the plane crash. It didn't...So after a day of unpacking, socializing, and eating it was finally time to know. Does he get the girl? After an hour and a half of soap opera quality drama Joey sits Dawson down and tells him after a 5 year absence that she loves him. And he OF COURSE replies with the same regard. She then confesses that they are soulmates, always have been and will be eternally. More than friends, more than lovers, but two perfectly corresponding souls. And then she picks PACEY!!?!?!? She actually picked the other guy!?! WHY?! Seriously, this disturbs me, I can't even say, "Hah well that's Hollywood" because they made it like real life! I need some serious Damien Rice for this one...

1600 Miles To Go

Ok you know what I don’t get? I HATE Indiana…I swear I do. I mean it’s swamp-ugly and I can count the literate tasteful people on one hand, maybe two on a good day. So whhyyyyy does the lump in my throat grow to the size of a small chia pet whenever I’m about to leave this so-called home? Makes no sense to me, must be a subconscious thing. Anyway, I always get that oh-gosh-did-you-check-under-both-beds-and-the-corners-I-forgot-something feeling. Yeah but it’s magnified, like the size of Russia. So what is it that I’m forgetting? Maybe me…

It looks like someone puked on my blog. I hope everyone remembers when it was all cute and ocean-friendly, in the meantime expect serious renovation. Now, back to the business of the blog. At the beginning of the summer I decided that no matter how much Indiana was bound to let me down I wouldn't leave here without something to show for myself (is it obvious I've been watching way too much Dawson's Creek?).

We All Need a Little More Room

My weedeating reign has come to an end...at last. But there for a few weeks I was promoted to janitor. Stay in school kids! Waking up at four in the morning is no way to live! Anyway, voluntary unemployment equals an excess of free time. I'm already bored and I've only been off the clock a day. So, I've began packing up my little 10x10 room that has been my own little refuge from the world since I was born. I won't be living-living in Indiana after these next passing weeks so everything's got to go. I sound like a liquidator. My room is already looking barren, I don't know if I'll be able to take the end result...I'm bad with endings. So for now I'll remove one piece of funiture at a time, individually pack each article of clothing in my bag and maybe when it's all over I can pretend like this never happenened, like it was never my home, and finally, FINALLY, close and lock this door.

Name that Tune

"I've never really had a problem, cause of leaving..." *If you know this you're one cool kid. Go ahead, pat your back, tell your friends.
