I just offered to pick my best friend from high school up from her house to go get lunch. Problem: I remember the general vicinity where she lives, but not exactly. where. her. house. is. GAHHHHHH.

A gravity hill, also known as a magnetic hill (and sometimes a mystery hill or a gravity road), is a place where the layout of the surrounding land produces the optical illusion that a very slight downhill slope appears to be an uphill slope.

confession
this entire break, I don’t think I’ve woken up before 10am. it has been amazing, since i usually get up at 7:30 (or earlier to get work done) every day during schooltime. BUT tomorrow missy the cat and i are taking a special trip to the vet at NINE O’CLOCK SHARP for her rabies shot. eeeeeek.
i am really enjoying the following:
the entire Black Album (jay-z) (especially allure and my 1st song) on my bro’s itunes
hot chocolate stirred with a candy cane
clean jeans
bend it like beckham
redesigning (third time around) my website

tonight at 10pm:
the HILLS season finale!!!! OR
the DUGGARS welcome baby #18!!!!

things i don’t like: being grownup and requesting christmas presents before christmas, and having to be a part of the buying process so they fit your feet, then you end up with no surprise gifts on christmas.

today i got off the wolfline on the corner of hillsborough and enterprise, with my backpack on my back, ipod in hand, and cell phone in back pocket. all kitted out for my trek home, i started to cross hillsborough when i realized a car was coming. i walked backwards to get out of the way, didn’t move my feet like a normal human being, and tripped UP the curb BACKWARDS. using my ipod-holding...
in other news
i think i might actually be getting into The Office. it seems like EVERYONE i know is obsessed with it, but i’ve never sat down and watched a full episode — i never knew what was going on, so never was interested (a vicious circle, if you will). but tonight we watched the secret santa one, and i thought it was hilar.
but i still think scrubs is better.

a late thanksgiving

gray fuzzy
i really do not want to turn in my NCSU issued PE sweater. it is too big, but so fuzzy on the inside (probably from generations of other germs, but whatevs), and its largeness means i can put 2384293 layers underneath.
simple pleasures
today, it is so nice to be well(ish) rested, showered, wearing an outfit that does not include pajama pants, makeupped, and being able to work in starbucks and not studio.
finally

not slept,
eaten crap,

gotten stress mouth sores,
and started over
more times than i ever thought possible.
