To Blog, or Not to Blog...

That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler to blog about nothing or not blog at all... Okay, I can't keep that up. Just know this! I hope to post some kickin' blogs over Christmas, so don't despair. I'll be back! And better than ever!

One tiny tidbit to tide you over: The new X-Men movie trailer: Now with 100% more Gambit than previous X-Men movies! Yay!

A strange problem

I talk about myself all the time on this blog. Oh, sometimes I mention things that I think are important or fun, or something, but on the whole, this is dedicated to me talking about me. With noble purposes, of course. So all of you can keep up with my life! It has nothing to do with my enormous egg. I mean ego.

So here's the problem. For my independent study, I am supposed to write a 3-5 sentence bio of myself that will be put on the website near my contribution. Neat, right? Seriously, it's exciting. But I can't think of a way to sum up myself in 3-5 sentences. One is supposed to be about my schooling/career plans, and the other 2-4 just things I think that kids/teachers/librarians would find interesting. Ack! And I only have 1 week to get 'er done!

Maybe the problem is that I don't know how to be brief. I can wax eloquent, but I can't sum up. I need to find inspiration! Perhaps I need to try harder. Or take a snack break. Watch some videos on YouTube. Or just look in a hollow tree. Inspiration? Are you there?


Nope. Just bugs, cookies, and a couple of elves. Maybe I could just blurb myself.

"Meredith, 25, is filled with whimsy and childlike fun, in spite of grownup hardships like graduation and job searching. She enjoys reading, walking on the beach (no, really!), eating too much junk food, the color pink, and British accents. She hopes to someday own a dog."

Tonight, tonight (sung to the tune of that song from "West Side Story")

I went to see "Twilight!!!!" There was much giggling (I was partially mocking the cheesiness, partially reveling in it), a few squeals (I can't help myself!), some outright laughter (Charlie and Mike Newton are in contention for my favorite characters. Who knew they were both so funny?), and a whole heck of a lot of air clapping. You know, where I pretend clap, so no one can hear me, but people can still see me express my excitement/approval. Yes, it's kinda cheesy, but so is the book, and really, that's a lot of what I like about it. Also, I could ogle the fine looking gentlemen. Carlisle is a fox! Also pretty much all the vampire guys, but we all went a little crazy for Carlisle. I am psyched for the rest of the movies now. Go Team Jacob!


Jacob haters, calm down. I heart Edward too. And that rascally Mike Newton. And Emmett. Oooh, and Carlisle! Oooh some more, and my fav. from the books, Jasper. Good times.

I can see the future!!!!

I had a dream a few nights ago that one of my friends, who is in the Navy, told us that he was shipping out, and we were all sad he was leaving. Of course, this was a silly dream, because he's not in the Navy in the way where he would get on a ship and sail away. I think he works at the Naval hospital in Bethesda. But then, the next day, he told us he was moving! And we were all sad. Crazy, huh? I totally predicted the future with my dream, only my dream made it more interesting. How clever my subconscious is. Now I would like to make my skills predict my future. See previous blog entry for why.

In other news, I am officially a cell phone addict. I never thought it could happen to me, but it has. I inadvertently left my phone at home today, and I think I'm going crazy. I cannot function without the option of calling someone! I railed against cell phone junkies for years, but now I can't say anything. I'll have to start mocking people who rely too much on text messaging. I have so far resisted that siren song.
