Hello lovelies! ;DDD

I got home from work a little while ago and since I'm in a somewhat decent mood I figured I might as well do my blog. Now at least you'll have something fantastic [haha] to wake up to this Sunday morning. <3

I shall start by answering my own question...on philosophies I connect with:
Like Melissa, [both Melissas actually] I've been in Catholic Education for a while, and it's weird because I think that a lot of people who go to Catholic schools don't end up all that Catholic. I love the tradition and oldness of Catholicism, and I love the churches...but that's pretty much where the lovin' stops...my personal views differ pretty greatly from that of the church...but I won't go into that now...

Philosophies I connect with...Buddhism and Daoism are very big things for me. Buddhism because I am a vegetarian and I'm a total pacifist and Gandhi is my hero. Daoism because I love nature and just like...the flow of life. I might seem kind of hectic or stressed sometimes, but usually I just go with the flow...as cliche as that sounds. And while I believe there is a greater being [i.e. God], I don't believe there is some sort of predestination or ultimate plan. I also believe in karma, quite strongly. I'm sort of a mess philosophically.


I have a challenge/proposed punishment for whoever wants to attempt to complete it:
Make a video of yourself lipsyncing [or actually singing, if you prefer] to your favorite guilty pleasure song. :]


As for this past week, it was pretty grand. I got to see one of my favorite bands play live on Wednesday, they're called Vampire Weekend and I absolutely adore them, they played a fantastic show and I highly suggest looking them up. :] I spent Friday with a few of my best friends, driving around and getting icecream and movies and talking and being goofy as hell. And today I saw Burn After Reading, which was weird...I'm not completely sure if I loved it, but I liked it. It was just so weird, and random violence makes me kind of uncomfortable.....

Anywho, Melissa's blog about opinions sort of reflected a part of my day...because I was really nervous to work with this girl at my work tonight, because she always seemed kind of mean/stuck up...but when I got to work with her tonight I found out she is like...the sweetest girl everrr. Yay for that. :]


I did find out that my workcrush has a nonworkgirlfriend. So that is a bummer...but my heart shall heal...eventually. lol



Hummm what else...I have three new movies to watch this week, Paris Je T'Aime, Persepolis, and City of God. The first two are French, the third is Spanish. I'll let you know how they are. :]

I also got the Shins' most recent cd, Wincing the Night Away..it is fantastic, they are another of my favorite bands.

Hmm what else...Books? I'm reading the Scarlet Letter for Literature class, the language is obnoxious, but I like when my teacher explains it. I read a book called the Stranger, it was really interesting, and since it is a French book I told my French teacher I was reading it, so she actually gave me her copy of it [in French], so now I am in search of a french-english dictionary so I can read it properly. It's a really old book [the one she gave me] and it has all these notes in it, I love things like that and it basically made me love that teacher even more because she told me to keep it. <3


Alright I suppose that's about it for today...if I think of something I'll update tomorrow.


OH! PS...
Today is awesome because I get to work with Diondre and Kelly, and I like Sundays.

I feel sleepy. -___-
