Vampires, Sneezes, and Chess

So I’m back at school after a beautiful five-day break, but I never really left ”Vacation World.” It’s just such a happy place that I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to “Real Life World.” That place is so overrated anyway.

Being back at home really was beyond lovely, but I’m starting to feel some kind of attachment to this place. I mean, I miss E., D., and C. when I’m at home… and I like not having to deal with sibling drama. There’s also something about having a place that really is yours to mess up, clean, and decorate however you please. But the food is FAR better at home. And my mom lives at home… which gives the home team about 234719 extra points. Then there’s my Lizzie and Nori, who are also a happy part of home. I guess I have two allegiances now, but I’m thinking that this can be a good thing (or a very good thing).

Yesterday I bought People’s Sexiest Man Alive issue, and I have to say that I’m loving it. There is a page where you can SMELL CHASE CRAWFORD. Scratch-and-sniff. I know, weird. But also AMAZING (because he smells like heaven). Also, there is a gorgeous picture of Robert Pattinson in the issue that I like to drool over. Hugh Jackman actually got the ”Sexiest” title this year. I guess he’s hot, but he’s a bit too old for me to date. I know, I KNOW that I’m being a total hypocrite, since I’m in love with J. Depp and P. Dempsey… but their much-older-than-me-ness doesn’t bother me one single bit. Somehow I manage to overlook it entirely. Well that explanation was about as clear as mud, but at least I tried.

I am getting quite behind on my shows. The number of shows I watch really needs to be cut back, but which of my loves could I bear to cut? Grey’s Anatomy, Ugly Betty, Supernanny, Brothers and Sisters, Private Practice, Desperate Housewives, and Pushing Dasies.  And every single one is on ABC if I’m not mistaken… oh well. I’m caught up on Grey’s and Brothers and Sisters, so that only leaves… a crapload more to watch online. Goody.

Aside from nearly all of the clothing I own, I also brought to school with me a lovely cold. Symptoms: sore throat, sneezing, and watery eyes. I’m prepared this time though. I have cough drops that taste like poo (but work well) and tissues out the wazoo. That means I won’t have to beg for/steal tissues from dorm-mates or make a random run (literally) to the school store to buy a box… not that I’ve done those things before (wink wink).

In other news… I SAW TWILIGHT OVER BREAK!!! I’m trying to not be like the crazy fangirls who recently embarrassed themselves on the Tyra show… but I REALLY LOVED IT. ALL CAPS IS THE ONLY WAY TO EXPRESS MY SENTIMENT PERFECTLY. Seriously though, there were very few things that bothered me about the movie. They didn’t leave things out, and they didn’t change things that shouldn’t have been changed. Good job cast and crew. But the award really goes to K-Stew. The venom scene was just… I mean it was… BRILLIANT. I guess another award can go to Robert Pattinson, because he sang that awesome song in the background of the scene and also acted wonderfully alongside K-Stew.

Quite a random jump from Twilight… but can someone teach me how to play chess? I just feel like I should learn how. If Harry Potter weren’t fictional, I’d just ask him to teach me wizard’s chess. As he isn’t real, I guess I can settle for a muggle teaching me regular chess. 

Well I’m going to go recycle a water bottle or eat a cookie or something… Have a lovely rest of your day.  

Since you’re done here… I think you should go listen to: In a Cave by Tokyo Police Club. Take my word for it.
