Adventures of a Shockingly Average 30-Something

me: Hey Candis! Candis: Kimerly?! LUH YOU! (is it wrong to never want the days of "Kimerly" to end? Or the days of "luh"?) me: Love you too. What are you doing? Candis: ummmmm playin'. me: That's cool. How's Florida? Candis: BYEEE!! me: Ok, you're done? Candis: No! (I can totally see the smile on her face at this point. Her big cheese-face.) me: How's Florida? Is it hot there? Candis: No. It's good. Uh-oh. me: What uh-oh? Candis: Uh-oh! Uh-oh! me: What happened, Candis? Candis: Dog uh-oh! me: You have a doggy now? That's really cool. Candis: Yeah. Bye! me: Ok, bye Candis. It was good to talk to you again. Candis: Yeah... Miss you, Kimerly. Miss you. me: I miss you too, Candis. Candis: All done now. me: Ok, bye Candis. Candis: I Luh you! Luh you and miss you! me: I love you and miss you too, Candis. Bye. Candis: Talk to you soon, kay? me: Ok. Candis: BYEEE KIMERLYYY!!! And at that point, she was done talking. She wanted to go ...

(This post was originally going to be a youtube video, but my camera is dead and I don't feel like waiting for it to charge. So I figured I'd just type up what I was going to say.) Ok, so supposedly the world is going to end (or something like that, anyway) tomorrow. Just in case you were worried, IT'S NOT GOING TO. The world was going to end in 1994 . It didn't. The world was going to end in 2000. It didn't. The world was going to end June 6, 2006. It didn't. The world is supposed to end December 21, 2012. It won't. The world is supposed to end tomorrow. It won't. People seem to have the fascination with the world ending. It's really ridiculous, and it's getting quite old. It's to the point where it's almost boring, really. I mean, "oh the world's going to end? Again?" Right?! But anyways. This thing with the world ending tomorrow. It's the really religious people who think that, right? I'm not a religi...

I think a good way to start off this post is to wish a huge congratulations to Connie Talbot . Why? Because... check out the view count on her “Someone Like You” cover . The view count on the video page hasn’t updated yet, but look at the view count on the search page. I really hope that screen shot shows up big enough to see it clearly. But if it doesn't, it's showing the current view-count at 1,001,738 views. CLICK HERE to see it, if you want to. That's over 1,000,000 views. One million views. One million . And that's something special. I know there's people out there who will say "it's only special because she's 10" or some other nonsense like that. But it's not "just because" she's ten years old that this is impressive; it's an impressive number for anyone, at any age. But, keeping her age in mind, how many other 10 year olds have over a million hits on one of their videos? Willow Smith...

These pictures... these pictures, right here... I took them. Yesterday. In my grandma's yard. :) The first one says "Don't be afraid to make a wish on the seeds of a dandelion." and the second (which personally, I like better) says "Dream with your eyes open." And, this is really random, but do you guys know who Jessie J is? If not, go look her up on youtube. She is FANTASTIC. Anyways, I freaking LOVE her voice. And her songs. Like, I first heard her song "Do It Like A Dude" and I didn't really like it that much, but it grew on me sooo fast, and I kinda love it now. But her songs "Rainbow," "Nobody's Perfect," "Price Tag," and "L.O.V.E"... I love them. Like... LOVE. A lot. Also, Cody Simpson's song "All Day" is amazing. Oh, and!!! Today was my last Monday at school for the semester!!! I just have tomorrow and Wednesday, and then I'm DONE here! It's so surreal to think...

Dear Candis, I know you'll never read this because 1) you're two and most likely can't read yet; I don't know many (or, any, actually) two-years olds who can and 2) because even if you could read, I probably wouldn't show you this. But I want to write it anyway. Anyways, Candis, you have no idea how much I miss you living at the apartment. I miss you. Your aunt misses you. TT misses you. Grammy and Nanny miss you. Brother misses you. Daddy misses you. I think you get the point; everyone here misses you so much. I know you're still little, and people think that you won't miss everyone here because you're so little that you'll probably forget us. But I know you won't. Remember when you and mommy and daddy moved to West Virginia for a few months? I missed you then too, and I was scared that you would forget me... but when you guys came back, you still knew who I was. And that made me so happy. I don't know if this will ever be like ...

Intercultural Communications? DONE! The final was tonight, and it was A LOT easier than I was expecting it to be, but that could have been because Christina and I studied for it for quite a while beforehand. Whatever the reason was, I'm just happy it wasn't that hard. :) So now, this is what I have left: American Lit - 3 classes left, but two of them are when we're taking our final and then we're not really doing anything the last class. Public Communication - 3 classes left, but I think we only have to go to two of them. I give my last speech in that class tomorrow! English Lit - 3 classes left, well 2 and a final. Educational Psych - 2 classes left, but I think we only have to go to one. I'm not entirely sure about that. I can NOT believe that the semester is pretty much over already!! Where the HECK did the time go?! It seriously flew by so ridiculously fast. And I have my schedule already made for the Fall semester, so I'm happy about that. I just... ...
