Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! Oh wait... that goes at the end of a post, doesn't it? And It's not quite Christmas. To any readers who are of a different religion, Happy Holidays to you, no matter what you celebrate!
Here's the deal. I'm sitting at home, watching "Up" with my parents and younger sister. My brother was at work. I'm sitting there and all of a sudden, I have a silent panic attack, unbenownst to the others in the room. Anyway, I start thinking "OK, I've got one semester left and I need to get an internship and I need to do this and that, etc." Then all of a sudden (and I'm sure my eyes were wide at this point), I thought "Oh sh#t. I have so much to do and not a lot of time to do it in. I can't be a kid any longer."
Seriously, guys. Freak out of my life and I couldn't run away screaming because I didn't want me mom to know. Stupid, yeah. But still. So mid freak-out, I'm also thinking "And I haven't yet gotten published and I haven't gotten my music out there and I haven't ever experienced anything awe-inspiring that just changed my life."
Scotland and the rest of Europe was fan-freaking-tastic and I want to go back desperately, but I can't say I decided on a path. *Deep breath* Freak-out is over. And my plans?
New Years Resolutions: (Beginning NOW)
1: Resubmit to publishers
2: Workout every day for at least one hour, maybe more if possible
3: Make sure all of the stuff for school is DONE/KEPT UP WITH
4: Have an exciting self investigation of the haunted Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, AR (That's right... this semester, it's goin' down)
5: No more panic attacks!
Now that I have them documented, hopefully I'll keep up. And I'll do my best, certainly. But I want anyone reading this to hold me to that!
Wow, this was originally going to be titled "Happy Holidays". I obviously had a change of heart.
Anyway, one last thing while I'm on a tangent of randomness (which is fine since that's what this blog is about)... I've been on this kick where I'm watching as many episodes of the Travel Channel show, Ghost Adventures, as I possibly can. I love it! The guys are great entertainers and even if none of this stuff is real, they make a good show of it.
So that really is all for now. Promise.
Stay random!

Apparently It's Update Time
Oh my goodness, it's been a while. A month at least! Yikes!
Well first off, for those of you who read the last post, I assume you're waiting for this...
HARRY POTTER IS HERE!!!!!!!!! That's right! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One arrived in theaters last Friday and I saw it at 12:01am (more like 12:16am, but you get the idea) with my little sister and tons of sorority sisters. It was FANTASTIC! Review time! I'd like to start by commending the filmmakers for really following the book in this film. It was wonderfully adapted and by far the best of the seven films released to date. Warning, though. Bring at least one tissue. Trust me. You'll need it. Anyway, I thought the film was fantastic, even if it did have a few... awkward moments. But I guess that's natural. After all, I don't think Daniel Radcliffe is that great of an actor. Everyone else is wonderful, but the dude playing the hero? Well... he's just... he's awkward for lack of a better word. I can't explain it. Oh well. Great movie. Seen it twice. Going to see it again tomorrow most likely. That's all.
For those of you in the area of Fayetteville, AR, the FIJI fraternity at the University of Arkansas is putting on the annual caroling competition called Carol of the Greeks in which sororities compete by performing one Christmas carol for the audience. If you're not busy on December 1 at 7pm, drop by the University of Arkansas' Union (Verizon) Ballroom and see my sorority! We're gonna rock it!
I guess there's not much more.
Have a great Thanksgiving and travel safely!
Don't forget... Stay random!

Long Time, No... Blog?
Yes, it's been a long time. I don't have many readers so I guess it's not too big of a deal, but still... I feel bad.
So here's an update.
We're halfway through the semester and I've been sick three times, dropped a class (not really worth noting, but there it is), and am on the verge of yet another breakdown. This semester (excuse my language) sucks balls. I hate it. I don't like my classes, with the except of Foods 1, I don't like MOST of my instructors, and I HATE the fact that I have FIVE group projects... five... in four different classes.
As of right now, I want to shoot someone, but I also really don't think that going to jail would make this semester better so I'll refrain from doing so.
Anyway, to make matters worse, my Facebook account got deactivated because my mom decided not to come to me to fix something; something that I literally could have fixed in under five minutes. Now, however, with Facebook's shitty response time, it's taking two weeks (almost). TWO WEEKS. I use Facebook to keep in touch with the newer girls in the sorority whose numbers I don't yet have. I also use it for school groups, likes those in the FIVE group projects I have. Grr. Thanks, really.
Sorry. I hate to vent, but I really don't see why she couldn't have simply said "fix this" to me when I saw her a day later. Or at least I assume it was a day later. She didn't tell me what happened. I hate to figure it out for myself.
Meh. Oh well. I'll live. On the bright side, we have just over a month until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part One comes out in theaters!!! Speaking of...
I was at the theater over the weekend and before the film, there was an extremely exciting trailer for the aforementioned film. So, of course, being the avid fan that I am, I and some of the people I was with decided to ask when tickets go on sale. Perfectly normal, right? Apparently not. Here is the conversation:
Friend 1: Hey, we were wondering when tickets for Harry Potter go on sale.
Worker: Tickets for movies don't usually go on sale until a day or two before. Wednesday or Thursday, but since this one opens Thursday, it'll be Tuesday or Wednesday.
Friend 2: Don't they go on sale really early?
Worker: When it's a big film like Twilight, yeah.
All 5 of us: Sorry? Twilight is bigger than Harry Potter?
Worker: Yeah, bigger films like Twilight will go on sale a month or so beforehand.
Now at this point, most of us were walking away, still going "but it's HARRY POTTER" with a pause after the first name and even the last for emphasis. "Harry F****** Potter". We kept yelling things like this in the car on the way back, still floored that ANYONE (with the exception of Twi-Hards) could EVER think that Twilight was bigger or better than Harry Potter. It's just unfathomable to us all. I really feel that the theater dropped the ball when they hired this dude because I'm pretty sure he was working during the last HP premiere I went to there (number 6) so he obviously knows how it all works with HP. But seriously? Just the sheer... stupidity, if that's the right word, astounds me.
Well, that's all. Thought you'd appreciate that little story. Talk to ya later.
Stay random.

Never Again
Does this look anything like the post from about a week ago? You know... the celebrity hairstyles? Of course not. Naturally. This is why I don't trust anyone to cut my hair except Julie from back home.
I said shoulder-length, layers, and shaping. I got... chin-length, all the same and I only got bangs because I insisted on them. This dumbass from Regis Hair Salon at the Northwest Arkansas Mall didn't listen to a single word I said and I was (and still am) pissed off. Yes it's hair, yes it will grow, but it's WAY too short. I can't even CURL it now. Oh! I'm SO angry!
How difficult is it, really? To listen to someone and do what they say? That's why you go to school, people. Ug. My review of that salon? Not even 1/2 a star. No, I didn't tip and usually I'm not that rude, but I was not happy with the cut and even after two days of considering it, I'm still not happy. There's nothing they can do. It's too short to fix. I just don't see why it was so difficult.
Had to vent about that. Sorry. Next post will be more cheerful, I promise.

Penny For Your Thoughts
Looking back at previous posts, I see one comment on one post and that is my own as an addition... an afterthought, if you will. Is my blog boring? Probably. It's about things which most people may find mundane, but they mean something to me. So here is another meaningful tidbit from my life.
Tonight I went out with the girls for the first Mexican Movie Madness of the school year. In case you don't know, this is an event mostly for my sorority sisters where we go to a cheap (but filling and delicious) Mexican place near campus and then head over to the AMC theater down the road which has movies for $4 every Monday-Thursday. It's a fun, cheap way to hang out and have a good time outside the sorority house.
In continuing, we saw the movie Eat Pray Love with Julia Roberts, who happens to be one of my favorite actresses. I love her smile and laughter because there is always so much joy to be found in the sight and sound of it that I can't help but do the same. This movie is about finding yourself; moving on from the mundane and finding a balance that can help you to be happier with life in general. This is something I need and have needed for years now.
As a college student, I'm an oddball. I have never changed my major; I've had a plan since I was 13 about what I wanted to do; and I have never veered off course from that plan. Not once. I'm not saying I don't like the plan and am too afraid to admit it, but I just know it's not what I'd rather be doing.
To give you some background, I'm a senior Hospitality major down in Fayetteville, AR. I plan on attending culinary school soon after graduation and opening a bakery specializing in custom cakes somewhere down the road. That's the plan, anyway.
Obviously, the last sentence alludes to an alternative wish. What is that, you may ask. My hobbies are singing and writing stories of the fantasy and science-fiction genres. I'm attempting to get published, but so far it is not going well. No bites on the line, at least. I'm one of those people that goes along, seemingly content with her lot in life, but really I'm screaming on the inside for someone to listen. I want support in my dreams, but I don't get it from those that I should be getting it from. I want a little less stress in my life, but there's a slim chance of that every happening. Yes, it's all "I want, I want, I want". This movie is actually making me admit all of this stuff to the internet. Once it's out there, it'll stay there and that's absolutely fine with me.
Recently, I studied abroad. I made it to Scotland, England, Ireland, France, and Italy and yet I feel like I wasted my time. I should have traveled by myself if no one else would go. I should have gone to Germany and Spain and Greece like I wanted to, regardless of whether or not I was alone. But I didn't go alone. I went to London by myself for 4 1/2 days and was too frightened to do anything of that caliber again. Blegh, I shouldn't be writing all this to strangers.
But the thing is that I want to go back. I want to go back so badly that it actually hurts. There's this burning inside of me to be free and to live where I want to live and not where my family lives or where a specific school is. Yes, I love Fayetteville, but I loved Edinburgh and Rome and Venice and Florence so much more.
When I was watching the part of the movie where Roberts' character is in Rome, I nearly wanted to cry. The views were breathtaking in the film, just as they are in real life and I'll post some photos later on to show you. They are pictures that I took myself and have not been photo shopped. They are gorgeous.
I'm a worldlier person, but I want more. I caught the Europe bug or the travel bug. Call it what you will, but no matter what you call it, there is no cure and there never will be. I yearn for adventure and I'm not finding that here and it's killing me slowly. So what am I going to do about it? Nothing. Yet. I'll graduate and go to culinary school and save up my money. And when I have enough, I'll go back to Europe. And I'll stay there. That is where my heart is.
I hope this post was not too depressing. I needed to get my feelings out there. As a short review for the movie, it was much better than I anticipated, but it was entirely too long. Well, until next time... Stay random!

Oh My Gravy...
So, being sick the third week of school... it sucks. I'm stuck doing research for my Hospitality Law class, catching up on video lessons in my Food and Wine Pairing class, looking for time to run to Wal Mart for things like Sudafed, and getting everything from the external hard drive back onto my newly de-virusified computer.
On the bright side, I'm just over two weeks closer to winter break. I'm also thinking of quitting my job, or at least postponing it until after football season, even though game days are the best time to work... when it comes to making money at least. I just don't want to miss any more of the games senior year and I'm already unable to go to the Little Rock games as a student. Suggestions?
Another change in my life... I'm cutting my hair again. I know, I'm breaking the three-year cycle I had going, but I think it's long enough now that I can chop it off for charity and still have some left. I'm going to do something like what my sister has. It's basically at her shoulders, angled toward the front and layered, shaped at the front of her face too. I will try to post a picture of it as an example somewhere on here... We'll see how that goes.
Anyway, that should be sometime in the next few weeks... when I have time, which right now is in short supply.
Two of my friends are studying abroad right now and I'm super jealous. I want to go back so badly it almost hurts. I really did leave my heart overseas. If anyone knows a cure for that (that doesn't involve spending tons of money to travel back there), I'd be happy to try something.
For now, Randomites, that is all. Until next time... STAY RANDOM!

Deep in my heart...
This is a post devoted to Alpha Delta Pi and especially the ladies of the Delta Delta chapter. I try not to get mushy on blogs and things of that nature, but I wanted to say how proud I am of how well my sisters did during Formal Recruitment last week. We got some amazing new girls (known as Alphas) and they even did something for US, the members, the other day. Some Alphas got together and did what's called "chalking the walk", which means they gathered up some sidewalk chalk and wrote all over the campus sidewalk saying things like "I love ADPi", "Alphas love Deltas", etc.
Side note: Our 'pledges' are referred to as Alphas and our members are Deltas. Alums are Pis. Alpha means beginning, Delta means change and Pi means forever, which is how long you'll be a Pi member of Alpha Delta Pi.
Anyway, we really did have an awesome recruitment and while my voice is still not completely back to normal and my right knee is numb, I still have a blast. Thank you ladies for making my last recruitment memorable and fun.
Pi Love and Loyally,
A sister

OH MY GOSH!!!!
Just a short post this time. I'm in a sorority and we're going through the process of practicing for Fall Recruitment. Contrary to what you may have heard, this whole process is kind of a blast and I can't wait for Recruitment to actually begin, but I would like to inform you of my stupid patellor tendinitis. It hurts and it's getting worse, but I am practicing just like everyone else. I am proud of this fact because I know not everyone is working as hard as they should be. We're tired, we're stressed, but I know come Monday, we're going to be PUMPED!!!! Can't wait for our new sisters! That is all.

Long Time, No... Read?
Hey. It's been a couple weeks. Sorry about that. I've been busy with work and school and I've been writing. That's right. I'm sure I mentioned that I write... didn't I? Anyway, I write and I'm trying to get published... It's slow going.
Yes, I've been busy. I work at a restaurant and I love it. I'll admit that you really have to be able to work with all types of people to work in a restaurant, though. Not everyone can and/or should do it.
But on the bright side... *drum roll*... I'M GOING TO VEGAS! My parents are taking me at the end of the month.
That's it for now. More updates soon.
K Bye!

A Very Merry Un-Birthday...
So it's the day after my 21st birthday. I didn't go all out, no Vegas trip, no body shots. Three friends came over to my dorm (since I'm taking summer courses) and we had a few drinks and caught up on all that happened while I was studying abroad. That was it. The only pain I have is not the pain of a hangover headache, but rather the pain of having slept wrong. My neck hurts. That's it. So, if you have any ideas on how I can have a do-over, please let me know.
That's all folks...
That's all folks...

Do You Really Want To Do This?
The answer is yes, I really think I do. Not sure what, but if it gets me out of this stinkin' rut, then yes. Man, going to a school in another country and only having class twice a week sorta messed up my schedule. Not to mention only having an online course so far this summer. Any suggestions on what to do for apparent insomnia? Cuz, I got nothin'. Yes, that was grammatically incorrect. If I do that on this blog, it's on purpose. I hate grammatical errors when they really are errors. Just one of my pet peeves...
OK, so the real meat of this post is for my thoughts (as it's supposed to be for the whole blog). Here are my thoughts today so far. Yay! My sister is coming to visit me next weekend! I'm going home this weekend, not only for a belated Father's Day (I wont be home until Monday), but also to renew my license. I turn 21 on Tuesday. WOOHOO! Anyway, back to my thoughts. Ug, I gotta work tonight and then tomorrow morning and then Sunday morning too. No worries, though. It's money and I'm a poor college student. I need money. Another "Yay!" because not only did I find the fourth season of Supernatural on DVD for $19 at Wal-Mart (P.S. That's probably my favorite show), but I also ordered seasons 2 and 3, which I did not yet own. Season 2 should be here later today. Yes! Oh and yet another "Yay!" because I thought of another twist for a story in a series I've been working on for ten years. It finally started to go somewhere about two years ago, though.
This series is called The Rose Legends and right now it consists of six "books". I put that last word in quotes since I am not yet published. I don't consider them books until they're published. Anyway, you can check out one of the latest drafts on FictionPress.com. Here's the full link:
http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2798463/1/The_Rose_Legends_Book_One_Found
When you get to the end of the chapter, there is a little tab you can pull down for the next chapter. I would LOVE reviews, good or bad. Please don't be crude or anything, though. That's just rude. I mean, if it sucks, then tell me why, you know? Constructive criticism. Simply tell me "it sucks" or "it's great" does not help. Details, people! Thanks!
I digress. Well, I guess that's all for now. Gotta go to lunch with my friends! Stay tuned for the next installment of... *dramatic music* "Randomocity!"

That's probably my favorite show), but I also ordered seasons 2 and 3, which I did not yet own. Season 2 should be here later today. Yes! Oh and yet another "Yay!" because I thought of another twist for a story in a series I've been working on for ten years. It finally started to go somewhere about two years ago, though.
This series is called The Rose Legends and right now it consists of six "books". I put that last word in quotes since I am not yet published. I don't consider them books until they're published. Anyway, you can check out one of the latest drafts on FictionPress.com. Here's the full link:

When you get to the end of the chapter, there is a little tab you can pull down for the next chapter. I would LOVE reviews, good or bad. Please don't be crude or anything, though. That's just rude. I mean, if it sucks, then tell me why, you know? Constructive criticism. Simply tell me "it sucks" or "it's great" does not help. Details, people! Thanks!
I digress. Well, I guess that's all for now. Gotta go to lunch with my friends! Stay tuned for the next installment of... *dramatic music* "Randomocity!"

A Truly Random Beginning
Hey, guys. If you've read the blog "What's Under the Kilt?" by Marie, then you've already heard of me. Yep. I was bored and I felt the need to blog again.
I never thought I'd start a blog, that's for sure, but here I am... blogging... again.
That's not the point. The point is, I figured I could just blog about the random happenings of my life and update y'all. In case you hadn't noticed by the title, I can be extremely random. One day, I'll rant about a pet peeve and then next, I'll be crazy excited about the next Twilight movie. Don't let that last bit stop you, though. I'm not obsessed. I promise.
So right now, I'm waiting for my laundry to finish up before I go to work. I must say, it's weird to be back in the States after having spent four months abroad. It feels like it never even happened and the only things that prove I was there are the pictures! I miss my beloved Edinburgh and hope to make it back there some day. But, until then, I shall use it as a location in a story and simply hope for the best.
A little about the author of this blog:
I love to write stories. I'm in the process of writing a 6-book series in the science-fiction genre. This series is at the forefront of my writing and I plan on sending it in to publishing companies. Fingers crossed!
I also love to sing and write music, though my creation on the music front has been slightly less than productive. I've been teaching myself to play guitar and trying to further my piano skills as well, in the hopes of helping out the music-writing aspects of my life.
The real thing y'all might like to know is that I love to cook. I'm in school right now, earning my degree in Hospitality and Restaurant Management. Afterward, I hope to attend a culinary school in Nashville to earn an Associate's with a focus in Baking and Pastry. Ultimate goal? To own my own bakery. Yay!
So, now that you know a little more about me, enjoy!
I will probably do some reviews of books, movies, and even music on this blog. It is truly random!
