Superflous Advice
Should they whisper false of you,
Never trouble to deny;
Should the words they say be true,
Weep and storm and swear they lie.

The Dawn Of Awareness
For as long as I can remember I always thought I would be good at blogging. I mean, I used to be good at keeping a diary. And then Life Happened. Its now been 2 years and I only have 5 posts. Guess that's what you get when you try to juggle arch school with anything else. My 5 posts aint even that interesting. So, I am switching it up a little, instead of attempting to blog about my social life (cause clearly I have non during the semester) I will blog about general stuff that catches my interest (celebs mainly - match making. Yay) So the Golden Globes nominee list is out and here are my predictions. Granted I haven't seen all the stuff here but I know what I like...

OMG!!!!! How old am I????
Seriously, here I was. Working away at my hotel project in blissful ignorance of what was happening in the world outside of FoBE when Diane comes back from a phone call to tell me her high school roommate and our mutual classmate has a baby shower this weekend!!! A baby shower!!! Why the shock? A baby shower makes it legitimate, this is not some random case of getting knocked up and taking a few years off from school, girlfriend is married and everything. And in case you're wondering why I am freaking out like a drug addict watching his last supply get flushed down the sewer drains, I am only 21, (or as I like telling people 18 - for the 3rd year running :) but I digress. Just this afternoon I was updating my bucket list and it included flushing my boobs at traffic on a bridge. So how can I be the same age as this mum-to-be??? Surely not, she must be wired wrong. Why would anyone want to settle down this early? There's so much to do. So much to see. Stuff that can only be done by the free and unburdened. At least that's my philosophy. All the same it is quite the wake up call. Luckily I was never one to want kids so nothing like a panic attack about settling down, though I really should get a move on with that bucket list. You just never know...now which bridge should I bless with a full daylight view of my lovely lady lumps? :)
