Life Itself/randomness

black ice sucks!!
& whats up with this living situation that you are 50 miles away??
Oh I didn't want to give up my city for a college/retirement town where there is nothing to do. Not that where I live does but it's definitely better...other than the drive in the winter.
Mod
Oh I hear ya on that one. What are you going for? Any updates on the fashion school?
Mod
Yeah, I don't know why but I was thinking about it and that's the thought that came to me. It's never wise to sacrifice so much of yourself that you lose yourself for one person no matter how much you love them. If they love you too, they shouldn't ask that of you. Not that your boyfriend has, but does that make sense?
Okay for more randomness! I have been searching for hours on end online (cause shopping in South Dakota SUCKS!) Does anyone know where to get a brown jacket similar to Bella's? I think it's super cute to fit the super cold weather. Any help would be awesome! Heck, if someone found out where to get one I would be up for a Sisterhood of the Traveling Jacket. :PHere's a picture...
It looks like the outside is suede and it's a jacket with a hood. I found out that the wool lining with the jacket is called Sherpa.

Awwww, I am really sorry Jamie. Hope things start getting better for you. I'm pretty sure if someone makes you cry and upsets you that bad, they are not worth being friends with. Friends are supposed to comfort you not hurt you. Always stand up for what you believe...you go girl :o)
Sorry to hear about that Jamie. Is there anyway we can form a hit man group on here and beat those who offend our fellow good readers?
Mod
and i do think a hit man group is a great idea! especially on this particular lad. haha. i'm trying to be polite because if i say what i really think on him..well it would be real mean..and i'm all about LOVE and not hate.haha.
Mod
i'm not really that tough :)
Haha I love it! I am the same way with e-mails. I get really nasty in them. Good job in keeping yourself cool!!
Mod
Randomness: have any of you noticed funny things while looking up books on this site. I typed in "The History of Love" to see what was said about the book on December’s poll, and it pulled up Robinson Crusoe and World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War.
Mod
tami..i noticed that too..i thought it was odd.
I loveeedd Role Models!! So funny. Def. Worth seeing. And uhm, just how exactly are you girls dealing with freaks on this site?! I thought this was supposed to be a site for the literate folk who enjoy intellectual stimuli? Wasn't expecting drooling neanderthals.
I've been having really creepy messages from people. And in general, I'm not responding. How do you girls deal?
Wow that is weird Kate. I haven't had any of those yet, but some creepers asking to be my friend. I think you can make your profile private. But other than that I think it's like any other networking site, you just have to ignore them. Unless there is a way to report them.
=( Oh well. I think I will be making my profile private though. Good thinking! Shame that eliminates others from seeing it though! Anyone remember that old Jackson 5 song?
"One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl!"
**Def. not Jackson 5. The Osmonds. hah
Mod
Turns out that I won one of the giveaways I had signed up for here on Goodreads. The book looks a little too romancy for me, but I will let you know how it turns out.
FREE BOOK! Always welcome. If you don't already, go to Explore at the top of the page, and Giveaways to the far right. There are lists of all kinds of books they are giving away. You don't have to give a review, though they strongly encourage it. I have also added some to my TBR list because they sound interesting. Anyways! Good luck all!
Mod
Hahaha! The Osmonds! Tami that is so cool! I've signed up for those from day one. Doesn't writing a review for the books that you have won increase your chances of winning more?
Kate- man Role Models!! That movie was awesome!!! So funny!Everyone- so I saw the new Bond movie last night. It was pretty good, I had never seen any of the other ones, ANY of the 50 million other ones haha. But man, just got to say that new Bond is freaking HOT!!! The whole movie was only worth seeing because he is gorgeous! Haha. Just wanted to say!
CHANGELING was incredible. I was not expecting it. My friend and I saw it on a whim last night. Amazing. My boy and I are seeing QoS tomorrow night. And even though he agreed to seeing Twilight with me, I decided to go to the premiere with a girlfriend of mine instead. I mean, it would be rude to drool over the movie with my boyfriend hating every minute. I think it'll be more fun with just girls. =)
Mod
Mod
I LOVED Role Models. *Spoiler* When they come out dressed as KISS, I honestly thought I was going to pee my pants! Oh man!Enjoy QoS, HOT! Haha, sorry I can't get over him, he's hot!...I'm lame, I know!
Mod
Ok....this is soooo random, just a warning! Does anyone besides me like those little debbie Christmas Tree cakes??? My creative writing class had a discussion about them yesterday. I absolutely LOVE those things. I'm a huge Yorks fan too.Ok something else even more random...but I had to share with you guys....Friday night a group of us went to a Japenese rest. and I totally tried SUSHI for the first time EVER and I LOVED it....i'm totally craving some right about now.
Ok i'm finished with being random...I usually have these moments when I'm supposed to be studying like today (have 2 huge test 2morrow) and I'm not motivated to study!!!
Aw, I'm so jealous of you guys. I'm not a fan of seafood at all, so naturally I hate sushi. I do wish I liked it though. Maybe it will grow on me. Until them bring on the Chinese.
Mod
Haha everyone keeps telling me to try sushi but I really can't bring myself to do it!! Maybe someday...
Oh it was well worth it...I think we had Crunchy Shrimp sushi and California roll and my friend knew the chef so he left off the eggs that would have normally covered the California one. Im not a huge seafood fan either and it was DELISH! :o)
Mod
Whats everyone up to this weekend ??I am going to a book sale tonight (leaving in about an hour). Not sure what to expect. It just started tonight so I will get to check it out before everything has been picked through.
Hopefully doing some shopping tomorrow.
Twilight movie on Sunday!
My boyfriend's sister just turned 21 this week, so she is coming to the city and we are taking her out to celebrate tonight. I think the rest of the weekend will be needed for relaxing after tonight. I'm hoping to curl up and finally finish reading Jane Eyre.

Mod
But the good thing is we talked one of our other teachers into canceling two classes he teachs next week so we can study for the test, Um, I mean so we can work on our projects for his class. :)
So, Next week, I have one night class and that is it! Oh, and the test. So, almost a full week off school! Yay!
Mod
tami..that sounds like a great next week for you with barely any classes! :)
Mod

our testing centers are pretty decent about times and things, but it's still unnerves me.
Well my boyfriend and I just got home from date night and i'm chillin for the rest of the night, then 2morrow I have a lingerie shower and after that 2morrow night I have a bachlorette party to go to. On Sunday one side of my boyfriend's family is having an early Thanksgiving so we will be going out of town for that. Yea for yummy food! Next week my classes got canceled so I'm good to go til Dec 1st then it's deadweek at my school and then Finals and we are D.O.N.E!!!
Mod
Not up to much this weekend! My boyfriend and I kind of spent the day together which is nice, and we're about to leave for some dinner. We saw Zach and Miri Make a Porno and it was terrible! I think after seeing Role Models, nothing will ever be funnier. I just did not like Zach and Miri. Well must go because my boyfriend is grumpy for some reason...who knows!! Have a great rest of the weekend everyone! GO BRONCOS!
i was studying for a test all weekend and saw Role Models!
