DONE FOR THE SEMESTER
13 pages of ITW writing, 3 finals, and 2 weeks later (since I've posted on here) I'm finally done for the semester and in the comfort of my own bed in Nashua. I haven't had a single free moment to sit down and write a blog because of all of the stress and work I've been juggling these past 2 weeks. But now here is my time to sit back at 3 in the morning in my own comfy bed and begin writing this post.
I'm hanging out with Kris and Kevin Le. We went to Burger King for FREE FRY DAY. We went through the drive thru and got 3 orders of their new fries. Then Kris took the wheel and went through again for 4 more orders. Badasses? You bet we are.
Arrested Development is the best show on television. Kevin Le, Kris and I are watching it from the beginning. This show is absolutely hilarious.
STEVE HOLT!
STEVE HOLT RETWEETED ME!
I thought about instigating another Twitter argument with @TheRealCathRose aka the feminazi bitch. I tweeted "I don't know why it takes women so long to get ready, how long does it take to put on an apron?" Boom that just happened.
Every time I say STEVE HOLT I have to put my arms up like Steve Holt. Always.
I was playing Words With Friends like a boss when the other player played the word Jeep. For 139 POINTS!!! I debated quitting right then and there.
STEVE HOLT!
Hey. How's it going?
I'm off to a great start.
Finals suck. The end of the semester was so stressful because I had to pull multiple late-nighters in order to finish writing my ITW paper and/or study for finals. I've been staying up until 4 or close to 5 because my sleep schedule has been so messed up since Thanksgiving break. These past two weeks have just been Hell and I;m just glad I can relax. And by relax, I mean stay up until 3 playing Black Ops with Kris (with a K) Bartol.
Note to self: Don't ever drink Mountain Dew after 1am ever again. I was up until almost 5 last night because I could not fall asleep no matter how hard I tried.
Continuing with the theme of late-late-night/early morning happenings, Dominos is 10x more delicious past midnight. Especially bacon-pepperoni pizza. It is the best late-night snack and I will fight anyone who disagrees with me. It is a gift from the heavens when you're a hungry college student at 1 in the morning.
Whose Line Is It Anyway is funnier after 2am also. That, How I Met Your Mother and That 70s Show. All great at anytime though.
I missed my dog. He was so happy to see me when I walked through the door! I walked in and he was jumping like crazy and pushed me while he was jumping and almost knocked me over the couch. I'm just that lovable.
I'm counting down the days until the Mighty Mighty Bosstones concert rather than counting down the days to Christmas. I see where my priorities are. (12 more days until the show.)
Allie was listening to songs from Kingdom Hearts while she was doing homework. *sniff* I'm so proud of her! :D
I got New Twitter. I like it, it's more organized, cleaner, and just looks cool. I like it a lot.
I don't have New Facebook though. And by New Facebook, I mean New New New New New Facebook. I've heard nothing but bad things about the new Timeline on Facebook though from people who have gotten it so that's why I'm not in any rush to get it.

Club Nintendo, a rewards program for buying and registering Nintendo games and such online, has 2 games that I could get online by redeeming coins I've earned. Hello Fluidity and Super Mario Kart from the SNES!
Sorry this is more random thoughts than fully written out stories.

The End of the Semester
Another Monday, another blog day.
Life's been busy busy busy with this being the last week of classes. I can sense the stress whenever I talk to someone. My sociology professor asked the class today "Ready for semester break?" and all the sighs of relief and YES's I heard make it clear that we're all ready to go home. Finals suck. I want to go home to hang with all my Nash peeps.
I bought a Nintendo DS! I went on the Keene State Class of 2015 Facebook page (which has turned into Craigslist: Keene with everyone selling stuff) and someone had an original DS, Mario Kart DS, and Pokemon Sapphire for $30. I commented saying "Make it $20 and you got a deal." I was kind of surprised when he sent me a message to my inbox saying "Ok, only because you have a Gyarados as your profile picture." BOOYAH! I was honestly not expecting that to work. I was expecting him to come back at 30 and I would have accepted. But I gladly accepted! Asked him if it worked perfectly, he said yes. Only problem is that the top section of the DS where the top screen is is sort of broken and falling off. Nothing major, and it doesn't affect the way the games play, so I can deal with it. I went into Harrison's Comic Store and saw a Gameboy Advance for $40 (without a battery cover it was $35) and Pokemon Sapphire for another $20 so I'll be more than happy to take this.
Speaking of Pokemon, I brought a couple of Gameboys back to Keene for Allie and I. She gets Pokemon Yellow (Technically Special Pikachu Edition for those of you who feel the need to correct me saying Yellow isn't the proper name) and I get Pokemon Blue (Technically Pokemon Blue Version...shut up) but I'm going to be playing Sapphire (Version) more than Blue. I've been playing Blue since I was 7. Never played Sapphire. Blue is one of my favorite games of all time. Top 5. But I'd rather play a new version first.
Speaking of Pokemon and repeating segues, everyone check out this web comic called Super Effective. If you've ever played a Pokemon Gameboy game you will love this. There were many times where I was dying laughing. Click this link:
Super Effective
Beat Modern Warfare 3. Great campaign.
In Criminal Justice and we're talking about juveniles and the death penalty at the moment. My Professor is saying "No one under the age of 16 can be subject to the death penalty" which is fine and everything. He then went on to say this: "It doesn't matter if someone under 16 kills the pope...or someone more important...like Lady Gaga." I almost laughed out loud. It was clearly a joke though, and I found it very funny. Side note: Not a Gaga fan. (Thought she had a penis for about 6 - 8 months after I found out who she was.)
I have a goatee now. It's different. Weird. I shaved because No Shave November was over. As I was shaving I wanted to see how it looked. Right as I finished shaving it to a goatee my razor died and I was gonna go back to finish the job after dinner. Allie laughed at me for a good 3 - 4 minutes straight when she saw me. Then Virginia couldn't look at me without laughing. Other people have looked at me, smiled and said "You know No Shave November is over right?" Thanks for the update. I need to shave it off. I don't mind it but if people are just going to laugh at me I don't want it. After No Shave November, I'm gonna be shaving more often. Having a beard wasn't bad but I'm good with being smooth for a while.
I hit 3,000 tweets. Woo.
They played Everlong in the DC at lunch. It's my favorite song of all time. I was a little excited. Especially since it was the acoustic version. I like the original better but it's still amazing.
I've been waking up at 2pm every single day except for today since Thanksgiving break. It's depressing when you're awake for 2 hours then the sun goes down and I can't get to sleep until around 4am. I'm practically nocturnal.
Finally I need to address something. I've been told that my language that I use on here (i.e. using the words 'prick' and 'fuck') is unnecessary to get my point across. I was told the same thing about my Facebook, that I shouldn't use that kind of language on there. I stopped on Facebook. I've been censoring myself and making sure I don't use that kind of language. But this isn't Facebook. My readers, however many of you there are, choose to read what I have to say and what I write. If you don't like the way I write don't read. It won't offend me if you stop reading. I know a ton of people who don't read this, sad but true. I don't care. If you don't want me offending you, don't read this. I'm going to write about whatever is on my mind. That's why I started this. That's the reason why I write these blogs. This is my public journal. I write things that are on my mind because I can. People just choose to read.
Otherwise keep reading! Even though quite a few people have told me they don't read it, those of you who do, I appreciate it.
Til next time.
