Harry Potter!

Tomorrow I am meeting my sister in Tomah to see Harry Potter on opening day (as is tradition) and I am soooo excited!! Not only for the movie but just to hang out with my sister because we never get time together, especially just the two of us. Then I go back to school for a day and then HOME (!!!) for Thanksgiving! I'm really excited to see my friends (and get my hair done :) hehe) And surprisingly I haven't been jammed with work terribly this week. I do have a 5 page paper to write that is worth 25% of my grade and thats a little nerve-wracking but not super overwhelming (yet). I also realized I never posted the link to my online portfolio here. It's still a (major) work in progress but I am slowly getting things up there and adding to my profile. So I may stop posting pictures of my work here because it takes so long to upload pics here vs at my online portfolio.

More Questions (aka Ultra Non-Special Blah Blah Blah 3)

I'm bored at work again so MORE QUESTIONS!!!
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!
Before that let me say first GO VOTE TODAY, epescially young people and women, your voice matters!!!!
Women were beaten and tortured to give you the right to vote, don't let thier deaths be in vain!

and now, something less interesting
What is your shoe size?
It ranges from size 6 1/2-8 but usually I wear 7. I don't know why my feet are so weird haha.
What color are your socks?
white and red, meaning one sock is white and one sock is red. It's not intentional I just don't like balling up my socks so I don't and in the morning I dig my hands around my sock drawer until I pull two out. Most of the time they are in my shoes so I don't care if they mismatch
How high can you jump? I don't know technically how high but in lamens terms I think it would be...barely enough to get off the ground. I'm a terrible jumper and succed usually in maybe 1 inch of hieght on a good day hahaha.
Who is the last person you called?
Probably either my mom or my aunt. I don't think I called anybody all week yet, I have a (very) irrational fear of calling people because I worry that they won't want to talk to me or will be mad at me for calling them. Like I said totally irrational but present nonetheless.
What time did you go to bed last night?
10:30! However, early to bed early to rise. I also got up at 3:30 this morning to get more work done, which I am finding out works pretty well for me. I just seem to work better earlier in the morning, who knew?
What is your favorite color?
Right now I seem to be favoring green but I jump around all the time with color and never see to have a consistant favorite (except maybe grey). I don't know I just really don't know! stupid favorites...
What is your favorite number?
Those damn favorites! Just keep popping up everywhere!
Will you ever go sky diving?
Hell yeah I hope so!!! Sky diving seems like so much fun!!! A must do before I die, for sure.
Did you ever take a hot air balloon ride?
Phooey, no I haven't. I think it would be fun and kinda scary (which would just make it more fun). Maybe someday somebody will take me up for a ballon ride, how romantic! haha, yeah right.
Did you play any sports in high school?
No, I played Basketball when I was young but was never very good at it. I was part of the Color Guard in High School and I don't care what you think when we started to compete I considered it a sport, so yeah YEAH I DID!! :)
Will you, or did you, go to your 10 year high school reunion?
hmm, I think it depends on how successful I am and if any old friends I haven't seen in a long time will be there. I'm not looking forward to it but I don't dread it either. High School was ok for me, nothing to hold on to but it could have been worse I guess.
Do you wash your hair or body first when you shower?
I do it:Shampoo, Body, Face, Conditioner. Best line-up that has ever worked for me!
Do you floss every day?
I try to, but I don't always succeed. oops!
Have you ever gone camping?
Many times! And as much as I like hiking and cooking round a fire, and sitting round a fire I also like beds and showers...I am a cabin person, yes I love cabins!
Can you light a fire with two sticks?
ahhhh...hahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.ha.ha.ha.
Have you ever been in Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts?
Nope, never seemed very interesting to me..
Which chores do you like the most?
Vaccuming, dusting, and laundry, I don't know why but I like laundry!
Which chores do you like the least?
Dishes...100%
What three possessions could you could not live without?
My Sewing Machine, CD and/or MP3 player, and some type of camera. yes, those are good.
If you could invite any three people to dinner, who would it be?
Jesus, Mary Quant, a victim of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire...would make for interesting conversation...ahhh I keep thinking of more people....I hate decision questions.
Who would you love to meet?
This seems kind of redundant....besides I don't even have a clue, there's so many people I can't choose!! blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!


ok. done.

Remote Control

I just finished watching a film called Remote Control about Children, Media, and the American Family of Today. Although most of the information wasn't completely new some of the things still shocked me. The fact that by the time children today are 30 they will have spent 10 years of that watching TV is really sad. Especially since I know I myself have a TV/Movie issue. I admit I like have a movie on a lot when I do stuff because it feels like I am with people rather than alone but too often I rely on this false idea of social interaction. I am now treating my TV/Movie watching as an addiction, one that I know will be hard to crack because I often just crave social time not TV time and after so many years of substituting TV for real people it is just habit to put in a movie. I feel lucky though because I do believe that as a child I did know when enough was enough so the right base is still ingrained within me I just have to go back and reprogram where ever I went off track. I broke my addiction with Facebook three years ago now I must tackle the TV and Food. I just hope I am up to the struggle, because it will be one but in the end hopefully I will have a healthier life.....


....Lord help me.

Why watch life when it's right there for you to live it?
