carter's

everyone loves hot dogs! except me. i haven't eaten a hot dog since the 4th grade. every weekend all my friends rave about going to carter's and getting hot dogs and how great they are and i feel so left out. i hate the smell of hot dogs, that alone can make me ralph. i'm not sure what people find so great in a hot dog and to be honest i don't care so much. its not going to ruin my life to not eat a hot dog with my friends, i'll walk across the street and get a hot slice of delicious greek's pizza.:)

halloween

halloween is my favorite holiday. i love getting to wear crazy things and be something totally different than who you are in real life. thursday night i went to a dance thing at this place in the village and i had my roommate and 2 girls from my hall transform me into a 'scene kid'. i had huuuuge ridiculous hair, outlandish make up and a fake lip ring to go along with my outfit. it was so different from my normal personality, it was super fun to be like that for the night. i wish halloween was maybe twice a year or something so i could dress up more often and have a reason to try new things more than just once a year. tomorrow i'm going to this halloween party back at home and i am going to be a zombie because i found some awesome make up tricks on youtube that i want to try out. i hope everyone has a great halloween :)

Dear Colonel Sanders,

everytime i've ever seen a commercial for kfc it looks absolutely delicious. everytime i've ever walked into a kfc it looks absolutely disgusting. i am a little confused why a food establishment of such stature cannot spend the extra 15 minutes a day on cleaning. KFC is the world's most popular chicken restaurant chain, you obviously aren't hurting in terms of money. so colonel, lets drop about $500 extra a month on cleaning supplies would ya?! k thanks :)

thanks to aricka (the girl across the hall) i am now a huuuuuuge fan of Owl City. if you haven't heard any of their stuff i'd very much suggest youtubing it. i think my favorite song so far is fireflies..check it :)

ps. vanilla twilight is nice as well

good times

this video is something that my friend and i loved watching about a year ago, we knew this thing by heart and frequently quoted it. i wish he wasn't so far away

review questions

i think the questions that help me the most are the ones referring to structure. generally on my papers i think i am rambling and the structure questions help me see where to clear things up if they need it. also i think looking at other people's papers and thinking about those questions makes me think about how i would have done mine to make it better.
