So I was told by some random guy (who actually secretly happens to be a pretty important person in my life right now) that I need to make my tumblr exciting. So here it is! Yay for exciting! I’m actually not that exciting. I have spent most of winter break sitting around on my butt texting all day nonstop and reading books. I have actually been reading a lot recently, by a lot I mean I have read 2 books over break (thats a LOT for me haha. Im a slow reader). I just finished the book ‘The Help’ and I have decided it is actually a pretty great book. I cant wait to see the movie, the trailer looks awesome AND Emma Stone is in it which basically makes it awesome to begin with. I’m not sure what is next on my reading list, I was thinking ‘Water for Elephants’ but today in Barnes and Nobel I couldnt seem to find it. I LOVE browsing in book stores for books, it makes me feel like I am actually doing something productive with my time (even though I am just wasting time wandering around like an idiot looking at every book I can find). At least it makes me feel accomplished. I know there is such a divided opinion between the “ereader” movement and the fight to keep paperback books but I am sitting on the fence. I really want a kindle….it would certainly solve the issue of driving all the way to the bookstore and not being able to find the book I want.

Finding that book today would have been a great improvement from the rest of my morning which turned out to be a super crazy one. Some background info that leads back to my crazy day: One of my oldest friends who I have known since elementary school where we met in band class is named Chris. Chris and I have always been the kind of friends where we go months without seeing each other and then all of a sudden we will meet up for our epic dinner dates and its like nothing has changed. He has always been there for me and I am so appreciative I have such a great friend like him. Although we attend the same university, we have had this sporadic relationship since he graduated high school a year before me. This changed around the beginning of November, when Chris invited me over for fried rice (in substitute of our favorite chinese restaurant we always go to because we decided we wanted to save money this night). Around that time I had officially ended a year and a half long relationship with my ex boyfriend, Joe and I was kinda a mess. So Chris convinces me to quit the sob story, and get out of my apartment for the first time in a while to come over for dinner. I headed over wearing sweat pants and probably some crappy shirt not caring about my appearance whatsoever, just expecting it to be a chill night with Chris. Turns out all of his roommates are there….awesome. Im not really a girly girl, and I dont tend to care too much about not wearing makeup in public but I completely regretted my decision when I saw all of his roommates there. I knew one of them from highschool, and I had no idea who the two other ones were. I was introduced to Chris (the other one) and Jeff….who happened to be shirtless haha. Not gonna lie it was nice to be around people after my weeks of self inflicted solitude. It was especially nice being around guys, because I am secretly a bro at heart (thats what happens when you grow up with 3 older brothers) and I havent found many guy friends up at Boulder. Looking back, I’m so glad Chris convinced me to get out of the house because that night was the best one I had in a long time. I really hit it off hanging out with his roommates and had a great night which ended with a marathon of episodes of ‘How I Met Your Mother’, the best tv show on air to date. I was introduced to this show by my ex, and was unable to watch it for a while (because of nostalgia, bleh bleh bleh…barf) so I was glad to form new memories watching it. All in all, it was a great night. I ended up back at Chris’s place a few more times that week because I needed help in Econ and Chris was willing to tutor me (thank god, I only passed that class because of his help) and every time I went over there Jeff seemed to be shirtless….just saying haha. LONG story short Jeff and I sorta hit it off and next thing I know I am over there all the time. I finally found my group, it was awesome. I spent almost every day of the next 2 months hanging out with Chris and Jeff and their roommates. Chris decided to abandon all of us this upcoming semester to find his own adventures by himself in London. He will be studying abroad for 6 months and today is the day we had to say the awful goodbyes. So I was supposed to meet up with my friend Sam for coffee at 1:30 and I was just going to swing by Chris’s place to say goodbye so I didnt have to draw it out and make it longer than it had to be (because if I did, I knew I would cry). Well I am ready to leave my house at 12 45 and I realize my dad had taken my car…awesome. New plan, time to take my moms car! She had some business stuff to do today so she was going to take my dads car but it wouldnt start so that created a problem. My mom had the idea to drop me off to get my brothers car and take that but once I got to his car, I couldnt find my brother (Jason) at Chipotle to get his keys and he wasnt answering his phone. Awesome. Its 1:15 and Im stranded at Chipotle and Chris has to leave for the airport asap. Finally Jason calls me back, I get the keys and head over to say goodbye to Chris. He was in a hurry too to get to the airport to start his new life on the other side of the pond. It was depressing saying goodbye, it hasnt really hit me yet. It probably wont hit me until we get back to Boulder and there are 2 new people in Chris and Jon’s rooms. Should be interesting. And now I’m stuck with Jeff. Great. JUST KIDDING! Hes a pretty fun guy, we have been seeing each other for a while. Once again thats thanks to Chris. Should be a long 6 months, its sad. =( 

After I said my goodbyes, I met up with my friend Sam at Starbucks. She goes to Boulder too and we havent seen each other in a while. It was nice to catch up. It was funny once our old high school got out and kids starting coming into starbucks to get coffee or food before their practices like we always used to do. It was a blast from the past, I kinda miss those days before practice when we would go get food. Never thought I would miss that, strange. After Bucko’s I went home and have been doing stuff for the Distinguished Speakers Board at CU or prepping for school or just messing around on the computer all day. Nothing else really exciting because I dont have a book to read! Its nice not to have responsibility over break!

So basically my life isnt that exciting, Im not good at this blog thing. Just thought I would give it a try, and Im really bored and don’t have a book to read haha. I don’t think it was very exciting but I like to vent so it helped. =)
