A night in the life of a typical person

The events of last night started out with a bang...literally
I banged my finger in the trunk door of my car.
No worries,the recovery rate was faster than I could have imagined.

I decided to incorporate some gin in my life last night
After all my name is Jenn.
And besides it was so fun to see the annoyed expressions on my friends faces after I would say something like, " Jenn needs a little gin in her life, how about you?"
My friends couldn't tell if I was really trying to make this horrible play on words work.
Bottom line is, they didn't enjoy it.
And now Im heavily debating finding friends who have a mr. Rogers style to them...
I think people of this nature would really appreciate me for my creative endevours.

Next we went to a club. Anything with the word club in it scares me.
No worries though, it was " ladies night," thus we got in free.
But news flash to the world, it's ladies night every night in the life of Jenn.
My friends didnt appreciate this joke either.

Finally we left.
Between all the women and men flocking our table and the horrible club music we decided that we had enough of this type of night life, thus we headed to 7 eleven, and man thank heaven we did, because it turns out you can actually have a little too much gin in your life!
And get this. The lady working there offered me a killer deal I couldn't refuse!
Three hot dogs for $1.50!
Do the math, and you too will see the amazing ness of this.
I really didn't want three hot dogs, but it's like they say CHOLO
which I was informed last night meant: chu only live once.
No worries though, i didn't eat three hot dogs, I dispersed them through out the car and man did they go quick!
Lastly we headed back to our friends house where I full heartedly tried to convince Mick and otherJenn to adopt me into their family. 
I think they were kinda scared by my assertiveness of this matter, but I really enjoy hanging out with her mom and grandma.
Don't worry , my true family. I think we could work out some type of holiday schedule were I alternate between families. 

Today was awesome. Here's why.

Just picked up an eclectic assortment of cd's from the pub. lib.
I even, almost, made all the green lights on the way there. Except for that tricky left turn arrow. Definately pulled a questionable yellow light turn on that one.
No ticket! Yay!
Awesome.

First hand experienced the awesomeness of networking.
It really does work.
LinkedIn isn't a scam!
Awesome.

It's my spring break, starting today.
Which means extra cash money flow for days 
Maybe now, I can finally afford to buy a new cupid for my cupid figurine collection that I started last week.
Awesome.

Got to take my time in the shower, aka I got shave my legs carefully and delicately.
No nicks or cuts.
See, Pink bic razors arent as bad as people make them out to be.
Awesome.

I made the solid homiez list
Awesome.

It's feeling spring like outside, which means I finally take my snuggie off!
Good thing, the leopard print was starting to look more like camouflage print.
Awesome.

This is me a few weeks after my big surgery.
Wisdom teeth pulled and 12 cavities filled...at the same time!
Which is evidence that mankind can go through much trial and tribulation and still be happy.

Awesome

No Philistine here!

A Confederacy of Dunces. This book seriously has the potential to be my new favorite book. So witty/clever. You cant help but smiling while reading it.

 

 The guy who wrote this book killed himself before it was ever published. In fact, his mother found the manuscript after her sons death and sent it to a publisher to see what they thought. John Kennedy Toole had talent and its a shame it went unrecognized for so long. 

On a lighter note Im on a Sufjan Stevens kick. Im currently rediscovering the beauty of his Michigan album. Favvys: Redford, Vito Ordination Song, Romulus, and Holland.

Listen to every Sufjan Album Here 

its friday.

Ive been moving like a snail today. Good thing I don't have three papers due and a test next week. ha.  Im a master of life.

My therapist says I have high standards. Well news flash therapist man... do people with high standards go to the $1 theater to go watch breaking dawn part 2? Because I just did. Before you judge me  too harshly readers, let me have a chance with a redemption line: I honestly thought I might get kicked out of the theater for laughing too much during the show. I nominate breaking dawn part 2 for the comedy of the year. 

Vibrating the cochlea's in my head today... Made in Heights. Check em.

enjoy

Just one of those days when all you want is to feel the sun on your back for comfort. Sufjan Stevens will suffice.

Deception

Yesterday I caught this on NPR: Catch Radiolab on the radio: Deception . Honestly Im not interested in deception but this episode is done so well I actually sat outside my house in my car to finish listening to it. " We are so vulnerable to being hurt that we are given the capacity to distort, as a gift."

On a lighter note, Hawaii is on the mind. A couple thoughts about this...1st: I think my chances of getting this job are in my favor. 2nd: I think this is what I need to do. 3rd: I want sunshine

"Californian bought first snow shovel and now considers it an essential car item"

Before this winter I have never bought a window snow scrapper thing ... I now own two!  Ive always gotten away with using a credit card or just using my jacket sleeve. This winter is showing no mercy on my californian soul. Although I had the BEST snow board sesh of my life this week, I am tired of getting stuck everywhere I park. I now carry a snow shovel in my car.  I have come to accept my situation which is... shoveling around my tires before I sit down in my car, never leave the house without snow boots at hand, and never ever ever think you can dig yourself out with a hand held garden shovel.  On the positive side my arms are looking great, both of my classes were canceled (mind you, Im still at the library), and I could probably rally pretty well in the Baja 1000 . 

The GRE... 

I have been mentally preparing myself for the GRE for 1 year now.  Flash cards, study apps, prep classes, and bladder training. Honestly I am still terrified to take it, but I randomly read something that was slightly comforting "The GRE does not predict important performance criteria such as advisors' ratings of a students creativity, ability to teach, and ability to do research. " 

Lastly I recently discovered the amazing media selection the SLC public library has to offer! Surprisingly they have a nice music selection. I rented out two albums by Taken By Trees. I rarely listen to full albums , but Im finding that there really is an experience you get from taking in the whole album. Eat that last line up hipsters, someone is admitting to "album listening" as full on experience.

one from east of eden album..
