Rejection Sucks, but It Does Have Its Benefits

I got an email back from the UT Creative Writing Department today that said they were stamping my forehead with a big, fat rejection sign for the year of 2005-2006, and I was suprisingly ok with that. I must admit that I was disappointed. I wanted to go straight into grad school from my undergrad, but I also knew that the spots were few and that it was a competitive program (8 open spots a year--4 of which were in the area I wanted to study in....prose). So, dispite my rejection, I feel oddly happy. Weird, I know, but rejection does have its benefits. I'm actually excited now and a little relieved because I get to try and get a job for what I've been trained for--warping the minds of children (whahahahahaha!). No, really, I think I'm really going to love it, but I'm going to have to find a job first so wish me good luck.

Also, now that I've recovered from the "plague," I think I might actually be human again. So, my special plea to you is to take LOTS of vitamin C (not the stupid singer--the actual vitamin), get lots of rest, and don't swap spit with anyone in the next week or so.

P.S. Here is a great picture of Amber from my surprise party......I just couldn't resist putting it up. :)

I'm An Addict

Today, I had a horrifying revelation. I've discovered that I am addicted to a lot of things that are just ridiculous. My addictions include:

Target
DVDs
Sleep
Advil
Pedicures
TV (mainly all the CSIs and Alias)
Blockbuster Online
Coca-Cola
Chocolate
Wendy's
School (an obvious UNhealthy addiction)
Handbags
Shoes
Checking my email
iTunes (!!!!)

I'm beginning to worry because even though many of these things seem harmless, I know that they could potenially be deadly. For example, if I take too much Advil and then sleep for an extremely long amount of time, I could possibly never wake up. Or I could electricute myself while checking my email or downloading iTunes during a severe thunderstorm. I could die from food poisoning at Wendy's or from a chocolate and caffine/sugar overdose. DVDs, TV, and Blockbuster Online could all numb my brain so much that I might wonder off into some deep, dark forest, not knowing where I was, and starve to death. Also, I could get a deadly toe fungus and die from having pedicures. But shoes, handbags, and Target really have no vices except for the fact that they put me in the poor house. And school, well, that needs no explanation as to why it is deadly.

*Sigh* You see? I'm endangering my life with all of my stupid addictions. It's a serious problem. What's a girl to do?

Holla and Surprise!

Never blogged before, so that would make me a blog virgin. Please bear with me. *deep breath*

So, this weekend I was completely surprised by my good friends with a birthday party at my house. I screamed, as Emily would say, "like a little gurl," and stumbled around confused for awhile from the shock. But in the end I was relieved that they were not vicious serial killers. My favorite gift from the evening had to be the SWEET ("like me") pickle relish stolen from my pantry, wrapped in paper towels, and secured with toothpicks.......*lip quivering*.......it was so thoughtful, I almost cried.....almost. This weekend also marks when I was brought into the Glenn Beck fold. I have now realized how empty my life was without him.....as well as without Miter Fitty Cent.....holla!

I have also gotten rid of the psyco-bad (no, horrible is a much better adjective)-date-guy. I have five words for you: I drove, Sonic, Apprentice, LOSER. Ah, yes, it was a night to remember.

Now for the quote that sums up my life:

k, bye.
