Latest Updates!

I'm in Utah!! School started yesterday, I LOVE my classes so far. It's going to be some getting used to, but I'm really excited at the opportunity I have to begin a new life. It's gonna be really fun once I get settled in.
I'll post photos soon!!
Also, I finally finished my album! Everyone that's heard it so far has been really positive about it, which makes me incredibly happy. It feels great to have it finished as well. If anyone wants a copy, let me know.
Anyway, just wanted to put something up here, I'll write more later.

To Defend My Masculinity

I hear that my Twilight posts MAY, if taken out of context, seem a tad fruity. So I'm making this post to counterbalance and counteract that potential perception:

Here are some manly things that I think are pretty rad:

Musings On Becoming Edward Cullen

a) Have incredible hair

Sadly, this is going to be a problem for me. As anyone who's seen me in the last, oh, 10 years could tell you, my hair is an endangered species. I've tried my best to protect it and keep it from extinction, but it's at a dangerously low level and has yet to breed in captivity.

b) Be athletic

Not only does Edward Cullen play baseball, he plays it at supersonic speeds. If this is (as I've come to believe) a factor in the development of my dreaminess I am, in a word, screwed. Oh and to add insult to injury he can stop minivans with his bare hands AND juggle apples on his feet just for kicks and giggles. I'm doing well if I can open a jar of Miracle Whip without someone stopping and offering me a hand because they "feel like it's the right thing to do." 

c) Have an undiagnosed borderline case of Aspergers Syndrome

What's Aspergers Syndrome you ask? Basically it's borderline Autism and is defined by a failure to react appropriately to social interaction and may appear as a total disregard of other people's feelings to the point of total insensitivity. Referenced from DSM-IV: 

"People with AS may analyze and distill their observation of social interaction into rigid behavioral guidelines and apply these rules in awkward ways-such as forced eye contact-resulting in demeanor that appears rigid or socially insensitive. The lack of demonstrated empathy is possibly the most dysfunctional aspect of Asperger syndrome. Individuals with AS experience difficulties in basic elements of social interaction, which may include a failure to develop friendships or to seek shared enjoyments or achievements with others, a lack of social or emotional reciprocity, and impaired nonverbal behaviors in areas such as eye contact, facial expression, posture, and gesture."

 

I'm not sure this is such a bad thing to NOT be. However the flock of sweatpant wearing 50 year olds who swooned over Mr. Cullen tonight at the Fair Oaks Theater leads me to believe that I may be even more off the mark of what women want than I previously believed. 

If you can live up to these terrific standards, congratulations!! You're Edward Cullen. No one else could possibly be that, well, DREAMY.

I FINALLY SAW TWILIGHT!!!

OMG(OSH)LOLZ EDWARD CULLEN IS MORE DREAMY THAN I POSSIBLY COULD'VE IMAGINED

Actually, in all honesty I kinda liked it... I REALLY wanted to make fun of it but I had a good time. This definitely takes the cake for guilty pleasure of the year for me.

Happy 2009!!

Yeah, I'm pretty much overjoyed that it's now 2009. Actually, I'm more overjoyed that it's not 2008 any more. I had some really great experiences last year, but at the same time I just never really got the hang of it. It's hard to explain. I'm really glad the wheels fell of so many things though, in some ways. It makes it a lot easier to move onto the next stage. 

I've sort of started packing, haven't gotten too far yet... I'm getting myself mentally ready, although I don't think it'll hit me until I'm already up there.

Hope the New Year is wonderful for all of us, or at least better than this last one.

In the spirit of the New Year, here are some photos that make me smile:
