and update on my existence so far this break:
I have been knitting. And watching television.
The end.
Of course there have been some family tussles, some exam stress (not mine this time!) and I did see Harry Potter again. Of course I did. Because the Groupon tickets were expiring. And because it's Harry Potter. I mean, come on.
We're still not sure where we will be for Christmas. Here or New Orleans, New Orleans or here... There is still work to be done at my grandmother's house, so we will be back. But it is the day before the day before Christmas Eve, and we are still flip-flopping.
So MERRY CHRISTMAS! Hope I see you.

the shiny guy always worries
My neighbor across the hall is a very nice girl. I just learned that she is a psych major and so far enjoying her first year in college. That's about as much as I know about her. Oh, and the fact that she has THE CUTEST FOUR YR OLD BROTHER IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD.
His name is Tristan, he has Spider-man Velcro shoes and a pretty cool umbrella: "not just any umbrella...it's a Spongebob one! It's yellow and everything!" And because my roommate and I are basically 10 years old when it comes to our interests (Star Wars, Harry Potter and superheroes), and Marca has decorated our bookshelf and TV stand with dozens of action figures, he seems to really enjoy visiting us.
On move-in weekend, while his parents were unpacking and his sister was organizing, he jet-packed over to our room and started play time.
Of course it didn't start so easy. He didn't just storm into our room demanding toys; he's too polite for that. He just leaned on our doorway for a few minutes, talking to Marca, Jenna and me about our rain boots. I could tell he was going stir crazy with the move-in effort and I wanted to offer him the chance to play with Boba Fett and Hagrid, but everything I said to him came out wrong: "Hey, do you want a cookie?" "We have toys!" and Jenna even asked "Where do you live?"
Some things you just can't say to a 4 yr old without sounding like a molester in an ice cream van.
After move-in day I thought surely I won't see him again until move-out. And I was sad. But today he came to visit his sister. And who's room did he come to first? The FUN room.
The best thing about these play dates is that he has no idea who any of the characters are that he is playing with. When he first saw Darth Vader (who protects our television), he swooped him down onto Remus Lupin and said "Oh no! A vampire!" I later found out from his mother that he has never seen or heard of Star Wars. Which seems like neglect, if you ask me.

iLove Stephen Colbert
Two weeks until fall semester starts. Right now, I get to concentrate on buying my own books and getting all my stuff together. I've been counting down the days all summer, but now that I can actually see the day marked 'MOVE-IN DAY!!!" circled in silver sharpie, I can feel myself digging my heels in the ground. I don't have enough time! I can't finish my quilt or declutter my room completely (though I am pretty close). And once school starts, it's pretty much guaranteed that my posts on this blog will decrease even more. Although I could use it as an opporunity to avoid homework and other responsibilities. ...that sounds more likely.
Instead of working on these projects or doing anything remotely productive, I am watching iCarly. Again. (the movie is on tonight! squee!!!) and/or bidding on seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on ebay
On a less embarrassing note, I've also rediscovered my love for Stephen Colbert. 
And his amazing Ben and Jerry's ice cream flavor: AMERICONE DREAM. My mom says that my affection for this food is unnatural and weird. It is not. Vanilla ice cream with chocolate covered waffle cone pieces and a caramel swirl. How could you not love it? Hm, maybe since I didn't buy donuts yesterday (friday is donut day! mostly to have something to eat with my amazing Dunkin Donuts iced coffee. wow, I'm just dropping names all over the place. I should get payed for product placement) I should buy some more Americone Dream instead. I'll actually be saving money. Oh, but maybe I should also save that for those dumb textbooks. Life is full of hard choices.
In other news, trivia was very disappointing last night. 6th out of 10. Who knows what the 4 H's in the 4H club stands for????
