happy spring!?

So, my last post was in February. What the what?! I guess I've just been a teeny bit too busy with school and work and I'm not really sure what else, mostly just nonsense that takes up way more of my time than it should. Doesn't that sound fun?
I don't really have a whole lot to blog about, unfortunately. However, in my "busy-ness" I have had time to procrastinate on things and discover really funny/cool/entertaining blogs! So yay!

Like, these people have some real writing talent. Not to mention most of them have the ability to make me laugh my ass off with every post, which c'mon, that's really all that matters. Entertainment factor people!! I wish i had lots of readers that I could entertain...or even just a few. How does one go about getting readers anyways? I mean, I just wanna be able to make people laugh with my mindless stories, because that's what I've discovered from many of these blogs, and it's just so cool to be able to make a difference for someone you don't even know and will probably never meet. I hope I'm not the only one amused and fascinated by that whole aspect of the blogosphere.

Let's see if I can give a brief run-down on my life since Feb:
-It finally stopped snowing and the whole icky, frozen weather seemed to dissipate
-April turned into a really awesome month because we got an entire week of 75 degree weather! Which is pretty unheard of for early spring in Michigan
-Michigan then proved what a cruel mistress she can be by promptly throwing us into gloomy, 45 degree "spring" weather
-I finished my second year of college
-I decided that the job that was slowly killing my soul is now destroying it at a much faster rate...so there's that
-Then I decided to be all over-achiever-y and take some spring classes. How grown-up of me right? Did i mention that the damn things last 4 days a week until the end of June? Eff.
-Now It's back to gloomy, rainy weather yet again. Even though it is now officially mid-May. Seriously, Michigan can be so bitchy sometimes.

Ok, I just realized that run-down was basically just talking about school and the weather. I swear my life is a little more interesting than that...it really is. But I lack the attention span and the patience to further try and recall the last two months. Hopefully I'll be back into the swing of the whole blogging thing.

the one in which i ramble.

so i haven't blogged in awhile. mostly because, i hate to say it, but things are pretty uneventful around these parts lately. school, work, work, school, an occasional fun excursion; that about sums things up.
but to satisfy my little blogging needs, i figured i'd share with you all (if there really is anybody out there? and if not, well it's still nice to share) some fun facts about your's truly. that's night, without further adieu, here are some "important" (we'll use that term loosely!) facts about moi:

-i hate to talk on the phone. loathe it. i would rather text someone an entire conversation than talk to them over the phone for 5 minutes. judge me.
-if i could eat one thing for the rest of my life i think i would choose pasta. i love pasta. there's a good chance i consume more pasta than an entire italian village. i'm not too picky about it either, just slop some sauce on it, be it alfredo, pesto, marinara, and i'm a happy little camper. and it's a good thing pasta is so good for you..right??
-and a close second food would have to be dark chocolate. if you've never had any, get yourself some dark chocolate stat. oh but it's heavenly.
-i am a bit of a germophobe. i hate germs. my job requires me to touch nasty, filthy money and germ-ridden hands for about 6 hours a day. major ick factor. so basically, purell hand sanitizer is my best friend.
-i also have this weird phobia. it's actually a technical thing, i promise. it's called emotophobia aka a serious fear of vomit. google it. yeah, i'm a weirdo, i don't care.
-since i can remember, i've been rather afraid of the dark. i still sleep with a nightlight. yes, i am 20 years old. again i say, judge me. (and i've decided that there's actually an explanation for this: i used to always watch little house on the prairie, and one day mary woke up and she was blind. and that was that. so i sorta have this thought that when it's uber dark and i can't see anything, for a split second, i think i've gone blind. so there's that!)
-when i get nervous or uneasy, i talk even faster than usual, which for me, is pretty much lightspeed. just try and keep up with my thought process, i dare you.
-things that make me extremely happy, include, but are not limited to: suntans, acoustic-y music, long drives, shopping of any kind, dark chocolate reese's cups, making someone laugh, new shoes, a feel good rom-com, when snowflakes stick right onto your eyelashes, a really great kiss where your whole body sorta just aches and the only place you want to be is right there with the person you're smoochin on. i could go on for hours...but i'll spare you the boredom.

so now you now some fun and useful things about me. just recognize that these odd little tidbits make me even more awesome..i mean, that's what i keep telling myself anyways. ahaha.

i'm a creep.

so i just realized that the majority of the blogs i follow are "strangers" to me. i do not know them personally, nor have i ever met them. i feel like this might just qualify me as a creeper.

BUT! i did not seek said stranger-blogs out, instead i just so happened to stumble upon these little gems of awesome in one way or another and i'm so, so glad i did. i feel like even though i don't really know these people, they offer a lot of entertainment and insight into my little teeny world. it's so grand that the internet makes it possible for me to pseudo-meet people that have such cool writing talents and fun stories and such.
so i guess maybe i'm not a creeper. or at the very least, i'm a creep with a good purpose dangit!

i feel like if i knew some of the blogworld in real life, we'd all be friends or something cheesy and cute like that. do you know how many people are out there who share similar ideas, opinions, styles, even tastes in music?! well do you? a lot. i'd say that's pretty rad. and if i'm a creep, so be it. i'll embrace it and continue to enjoy the blogworld.

factoids.

three things i've discovered this week:

-according to studies, happiness and the ability to be happy in life is based on these three factors: 50% genetics, 40% action/choosing to be optimistic, 10% life circumstances. isn't that neat? i'm making a strong effort to be a more positive person this year and focusing on being happy and doing things that make me happy. i think it's interesting to know that such a little percent of happiness depends on what you're actually going through in life. so even if you're having a real awful time of it, there are still things that can make you happy.

-there are 95.9 million single americans currently..so i'm not the only one?! i'd say that's pretty encouraging as well. although i'm pretty happy with things i wouldn't complain if i happened to stumble upon a manfriend. apparently there's a lot of them out there!

-i think that i'm absolutely going to love my advertising class. in fact, i'm pretty optimistic about all of my classes this semester, but especially this one. my professor is very excited about teaching and she used to do p.r. work for the government in dc..which in case you aren't caught up, i very much want to do some day. i thought that was pretty grand.

so there's that. this week wasn't half bad afterall.
