(not house because my parents are still awake and I didn’t want to answer the awkward “Jane why are you carting around the most unusual stuff we own,” question.)
A yellow construction hat for when I dressed up as Mrs.Bob the Builder for a theater awards ceremony. (None of my peers recognized me but someone little brother did chase me around singing the theme song from the show)
A sign that says Angel (not legna). For the record I think the sign recognized that I do not deserve the title of white wing wearer and punished me by shooting some of the blue feathers straight up my nose. It was not pleasant.
A small collection of stone animals with creepy smiles on their faces.
A small gold statue of Buddha that quite possibly randomly appeared on my bookshelf on day. I am not sure what Buddha was trying to tell me with his random appearance, but unless he was asking for an appearance on my blog, I feel that I might have missed the point.
And a statue of Napoleon Dynamite, because my life wasn’t embarrassing enough already.

There is something so comforting about coming home and closing myself in my room where everything is the same as it has been for  years and years. My homecoming crown is still on the top of my bookshelf, and my favorite books are still littered around in piles everywhere. My walls are bright pink and my closet has the same bed in it that I have been sleeping in since I can remember.
It’s comforting.
Still, today I got the urge to clean up a little bit, tuck away some of the things that I have been unable to part with since I left for college. I put away all of my Belle dolls that were gifts when I had the role in high school, and my graduation cap was packed away too along with yearbooks and other trinkets.
While I was cleaning up I kept stumbling on old photos. Me going to the 8th grade dance, me sitting at the kitchen table for my 16th birthday, me with my brother when we were little ready to go on some kind of GI Joe mission it seems with all the toy guns stuffed into our clothing.
It is so bittersweet to look back, and even more bittersweet to move forward. I am not the same girl that I was in those photos. Sure all the DNA is still there, and I like to think that in part that is me, but I have changed. It’s impossible not to throughout our lives. We adapt, and we grow as time passes. I guess today was the point when I realized how much I have changed.
I am really an adult now. I am independent, I can be on my own and I am proud of that fact, but at the same time, I realize that I don’t want to be independent yet. It seems like when we are young we can’t wait to bust out and be free of all the chains that we feel bind us, but now with all the restraints that used to hold me puddled on the floor around my feet I feel as if I want to be held tighter than ever.
All I know is that I am really going to enjoy the time that I have with my family this christmas. This year I am going to hold on tight while I can, because you never know when you might not have anything to hold onto anymore.
I have plenty of time to be on my own after all.

One thing that I love about coming home is I get to look through all of my mail. AKA all of my magazines and catalogs. Basically it is my chance to have a serious case of fashion lust.
I just needed to share two of the amazing things that I will be having dreams about tonight.
Ok, TOMS, which is a totally awesome cause (they donate a pair of shoes to kids in Africa for every pair you buy) just got a whole lot of new cute styles.
Just look at them! They are soooooo pretty. I only wish that they were free.
Too bad.

I am fairly certain that college is a conspiracy by government officials to weed out all the crazies and all the almost crazies.
Why?
College is the one time in your life where you are forced to live with someone you don’t know in a room the size of a closet. To top off the conflict and discomfort that situation already creates they throw in a touch of stress and a dash of freedom and things can get pretty hairy.
No wonder kids are going so crazy! How else can they cope with the situation they are put in.
So when the going gets tough, and the kids get crazy that’s when the government steps in and puts the kid on their list. Yep, must be true.
You would think that college would be the one time when you would have your own quiet room where you could focus on work. Instead you get three loud roommates who watch Jerry Springer until all hours of the morning while they paint their toenails and get high off the fumes.
(That never happened to me, it is only an example)
All I am saying, it is seems a little fishy. Not fishy in the can breathe under water sense either, fishy in the there is something up sense.
Fishy.
Anyway, the point of this thing is a new event I found on facebook to help us kiddos cope.
“The Exam Scream”
Each day of exam week at exactly midnight, college students all across campus (and off campus) are encouraged to let out a scream. That scream could be one of excruciating pain, life crushing stress, or joy. The emotions behind the scream don’t matter so long as you get to release a little bit of whatever crazy you have got building up.
See, that’s one thing the conspirators didn’t expect. They didn’t expect for us to adapt and release our crazy before it’s too late.
Take that men in suits. Take that government conspirators. Take that Justin Timberlake!
(Disclaimer: Dear Government, This blog entry is not real. I do not believe men in suits take away the crazies and I do not believe their is a conspiracy. Please do not come arrest me, I am too young to die. Love, Jane)

I just wanted to say that I am entering into exam week here at school.
What does that mean, you ask?
It means that blog posts, as much as I love them, are a bit down on my list of priorities.
Don’t worry though, I will be back with another episode of random stuff I found in my house when I get back to Springfield.
Until then my dear friends.
<3 Keep Blabbing and please don’t substitute Perez Hilton for me! All he does is draw pictures anyway. Funny pictures. But still! Ok, Ok, you can read Perez.
Sheesh.

There are certain things that I just refuse to give up as I transition into adulthood. One of those things is walking on curbs.
It is too fun for me to turn my back on. I mean, what other simple activity screams “I am cool” without you actually having to scream “I am cool.” What other activity is exactly like walking on a balance beam except safer because it is really close to the ground, and cheaper because you don’t have to pay for all those expensive lessons just to learn how to do a backwards somersault.
Walking on curbs is like making a statement. It’s like saying to the world, “I have really good balance and I refuse to be confined by the rules of the sidewalk.”
I don’t know about you, but personally, I don’t think that I should have to lose all of the wonder and excitement of curb walking just because I am now 21. No! I will walk on curves even when I am 80 and have a walker. I will never get it up! It will be my own personal Never Never Land.
Hurrah!
I just watched a really good movie. I may be biased because:
A. I have the extreme hots for Adrien Brody. He looks like a movie star out of the 40s with his perfectly tailored suits and disheveled hair. Plus that NOSE, he is like the hot version of Cyrano.
2. I have a very off sense of humor and this movie played right into it.
3. It included guns and adventure.
(I numbered them A, 2, 3 on purpose. Not really, but I looked stupid so I am pretending)
Still, despite all those things, the movie was great because it had a lot of charm. It was basically a more indie version of The Blues Brothers (another awesome movie). A quirky love story at the core it was just really well done.
Between this girl blowing up Barbie Dolls.
And this guys crazy cons involving ships, russian mafia, and plenty of fake gunshot wounds:
And this girl and her awkwardly wonderful kissing scene with Adrien. (Imagine tortured boy who is been around the block, meets epileptic photographer who has never even left her house).
to make the most wonderful move ever with this line (my favorite):
” We are going to live like we are writing the best story ever.”
Yeah, I am in love.
with a movie that is.

Truth: A good book is better than just about anything else in the world.
Truth: Pixie Stix were invented by a genius.
Truth: The Matrix is real, and I have a white rabbit on my shoulder.

Truth: The majority of the people who find my blog do so by searching for carrot top. ( see this post)
Truth: Rain is better than sunshine. Snow is better than just plain cold.
Truth: Too many people are grossed out by feet. They carry you around, support you over the course of your long full life. We should cherish feet. Just saying.
Truth: Love makes pretty much anything worth it.
Truth: Everyone is good at something, but everyone is also really bad at something.
Truth: Sometimes, you really do look fat in that.
Truth: A little bit of crazy is normal and letting your freak flag fly is not a bad thing.

P.S.
There is nothing I love more than a good movie and this, my friends, looks like a good movie.
Pirates? Rock and Roll? Life on the high seas with a bunch of hippies?
Count me in.

Ok, so guess what, THIS IS MY 100th POST!!!!
Ok I lied. This is 101, but I didn’t realize it was time to celebrate until was too late. So we are just going to pretend like this is number 100.
Actually, now that it is here, I don’t feel as excited as I thought I would. In fact all I can think about is shopping.
I need shopping.
I want shopping.
Please, shopping.
But since I have no money and the only mall in Athens has a sports store and a bath and bodyworks and NOTHING ELSE I will have to just live with browsing online.
Check out this dress from Urban. So cute.
I love the puffy sleeves. I think that is the 80s lover in me. I swear, I just love the 80s.
This has a zipper and a floral pattern so it is a no brainer that I would love it. It also comes in red and black and would look so cute with a pair of heavy tights and a cardigan.
I want it.
Those shoes are what I want the most. I can just picture them with tights and a little dress. So cute.
Yeah, I know this was boring. But I just need to shop ok?
<3 Keep Blabbing and keep me away from malls
