25 things.

That stupid thing on Facebook. Good gracious do I hate it. But, here's the first 25 (or so) things that come to mind RIGHT NOW. No edits.

1.

2. I will never ever be the "other" again. Apparently it's something I'm getting incredibly good at, but that needs to stop. Yesterday.

3. It's really late, and I have rehearsal at 8 in the morning. Which means I should be there at 7:30. Right.

4. Every day starts for me at 8:00 this semester, with work. It's ok though, because it's a different motivation than a class. I really do like my job, even though I'm doing mindless things. Hopefully they like how I'm doing it ...

5. Over the past week and a half, I have had the strongest urge to pack up the Jeep and take off for a while. I don't know how long. And I also wonder a) how long it would take for people to notice and b) what would happen when they did.

6. I've wondered that since I was about six years old. And I'm not kidding.

7. Does being single mean you're a leper? I need to get out of the south, where unmarried women are socially unacceptable. It's a little insane.

8. I also think I'll be leaving the country after I graduate. The United States is not the cool place to be anymore. Before I make any money the government can take away, I might as well just high-tail it outta here in May 2011.

9. Maybe that's why I feel so far removed from everyone all the time. I haven't put out any roots here, because everything is so temporary. But then again, this silly thing called "life" is temporary. I should probably get over that yesterday as well.

10. I'm a vegetarian! It's been a month! And I don't think I've puffed up really, I have like a two-pound range I've been staying in. Sadly it's not going down, but At least it's not going up. I need to do better.

11. Vitamins have been helping me A TON this semester. I've taken them every day for something like three weeks, and I'm happier, energetic, and more even-tempered. Which is always a good thing.

12. No one likes a moody person. Does that mean that I have to be void of emotions other than the good ones?

13. I get it, I get it. "He's just not that into you" is the story of my life. I'm not expecting a text or a call or a message or anything. Kinda funny though. I want to track down and correct everyone who ever told me I would find my bestest friends in college and have lots of dates and be able to do whatever. Not true!

14. I have a vice.

15. I'm afraid of mummies. And I used to be scared of pregnant ladies, like whoa. Things that are human but don't look human freak me out! (See also: Blue Man Group. I though I was going to pass out!)

16. Charlotte's not so bad. Beats the crap outta Rock Hill. And if I could drive into town and see a show every single night of the week, I would.

17. Brass Quintet is my passion right now. I guess it's been for something like four (FOUR!) years, ever since I bought that Czech Brass CD on the CYSO European tour 05. And now I get to play in one for real again, and I couldn't be happier. Brass ensembles are the best thing since sliced bread.

18. I need to start doing this more regularly, it's rather comforting.

19. Who reads this stuff anyway?

20. I need to get a life.

7-8. I wonder who you've been meeting since you've lived in the south...Haha, better yet, don't answer that. One thing all must consider is staying to make changes. Leaving makes the state(s)/country have one less person with the opportunity to make a difference. I don't like the south, but I've decided stay and make it a place worth living for we heathens.

13. Hmm. Well, you only are a sophomore, but I know how you feel. I only have four close friends since getting here, and I don't get to see them as often as I'd like. Dive into more stuff, and I'm sure you'll be proven wrong on the friend and romantic topics.

Good idea with posting on your blog.

hope everything's going alright. i can see that you keep putting up new goals and wanting to improve, which is proof that you're going to succeed. we haven't really talked in forever, and we need to sit down and have a nice couple hours to chat over coffee.

try to focus on the positives. keeping the negatives in your mind (even at the back) can stress you out and ruin your day.

living in the south has its positives and negatives. its warm, but alas, trapped in the bible belt. hopefully ignorance will filter out of the human race eventually, but it doesn't look like it will for a while. some advice: just because someone is deeply religious doesn't mean they can't become one of your best friends (see frat brothers). in fact, some of the people that are very different from you can be your truest friends. it's no fun hanging out with carbon copies of yourself.

if you haven't figured out who this is, here's a hint: "it's this" (points at thumbnail). oh, and i go to UNC.
