21 Going On Extinct

The title is completely irrelevant to the topic I am discussing but I've been going through this weird 'Fall Out Boy Take This to Your Grave' phase and that was the last song that played and it is now stuck in my head.  On a completely different note, it is Valentine's Day.  Maybe that's why I'm listening to that album... all that girl-hating music makes me feel better on Single Awareness Day.  Yes, I am single and have been for quite some time now.  Do I really care?  NO.  I've found that you're only single and young once, why waste it being in a relationship that's going to end or turn into marriage?  No bueno.  I'm too ambitious and independent to want that right now. Talk to my "This is what a Feminist looks like" badge about that.  It's not that I hate men or anything, it's just that I'm not going ape crap over the fact that guys are stupid at this age and incapable of caring for anyone but themselves right now.  I know there are guys out there that are good-hearted gentlemen but I'm not going to go wasting my singality (yes, I just made that up) searching for them.  I'm going to work on me.  And when I'm ready to be in a committed relationship it will find me.

If I turn into a Liz Lemon so be it.  "Working on my night cheese!"

Oh, and give blood.... The Office style.

P.S. Completely love the fact that Chipotle is playing The Smiths.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLc5dVypsgc.  Reminds me of Never Been Kissed<3

Peace&Blessings

I have brains in my head and feet in my shoes.

It turns out you do well in the things that you enjoy... who'da thunk?  In a nice turn of fate, I am actually doing really well in all of my classes... 'A' material.  Prior to these years, I was just scraping to get a passing grade but now I actually want to succeed.

I like the turn my life has taken.  I always wondered when my choices were going to show me some results and, indeed, they have.  Of course there is still the occasional mishap and, granted, those can be pretty hefty.  But I've learned that you can't win everything and sometimes you just got to get over it.  They didn't name me "Most Optimistic" for nothing... I have a rep to uphold.

My college kid "self-discovery" journey thing is coming to and end despite the fact that I still have two years to go.  But I kind of just want to lay those years out nice and neat.  I guess anything was better than the weekly mental breakdowns and tear-rearing episodes of discontent.  Life comes at you suddenly but all's well in the end.  I'm thoroughly pleased.

Now, adieu... I must get my full eight hours of sleep if I am to function.

Peace & Blessings
