blog being moved again

Blogger is irritating me as it is difficult to navigate and has these occasional hiccups where it doesn't want to do what I have asked it to. I am moving to tumblr. My new address is

mechanicalimagination.tumblr.com

eh, crafty blog title

There are not enough words to truly state how much I'm looking forward to fall. Yes, yes, the first day of fall has come and gone but, to me, it hasn't. To me, August is summer and fall starts the first day of October. What about September? Well, I think September is an in-between month that doesn't belong to any season on account of telling people they can't wear white and keeping my birthday from getting here faster. That's what you get September. Do better.

Anyway, the main reason I can't wait until October (besides my birthday, con, and Halloween) is I have decided to go all Julie and Julia on that biatch! Well, except no French cooking... replace that with random Halloween inspired deliciousness. I have decided I want to learn how to cook from mostly scratch and, since I'm busy the rest of this month, I have decided to start October first. Well, maybe September 30th...we shall see. I have never been known to be a patient person.

As for things that happened today, well, that can be summed up in one sentence.

Lemon ice cream with chocolate on top is freakin' awesome!!!

Okay, yeah, I've been told I'm weird but its seriously one of my favorite flavor combinations in the world. On a whim, I took myself to TCBY and, when I found out they had a new lemon sherbet, I was like "put some chocolate on that biatch!!!" I encourage you to try it. Double chocolate or chocolate chunk may be too extreme so stick with regular. If you can't handle that much, then try it with two sample spoons. Either way, life is all about broadening the horizons and it's Carly approved.

Update

It was brought to my attention that I haven't updated this in a while. Sorry about that.

Well, so far this semester is not going how I thought it would. For some reason I imagined excitement and friends but all I've gotten is a near breakdown and people I don't have time to see. Funny how that all works out.

This semester I'm sorta packing on the stress so my last semester wont be so bad. I have two honors classes and some research to do for my thesis and, when I write that out, it doesn't seem so bad. Well, you're wrong. I'm not sure if its having classes from 7am-8:30pm twice a week while working all the other days or if it's the fact that everything evil in this universe decided to pop straight up outta hell and announce that it was gonna make a class called "Logic" and then require me to take it...either way, this semester is ticking me off and we are just on the third week.

What's not ticking me off though is my relationship. DHF has to be the single most wonderful man in existence and I have this huge cocky smile from knowing he's mine. I dunno how he does it but he manages to balance work, friends, family, me (my bullshit included) and gracefully cut down on smoking. Seriously. I mean, he managed to keep me from going postal at twelve this morning even though he worked a twelve hour shift and had to wake up the next morning at 5:30. He didn't even get irritated. He just smiled and told me to chill. Amazingly, it worked.

In happy news, I should be asking for my Saturdays back starting next month. DHF and I both figure it will help me chill and what makes it more awesome is this will allow me to visit my friends out of state more often. Considering almost all of my friends have moved out of state for graduate school, that's more awesome than I can say.

Another thing that makes me super psyched, I've almost got all my credit cards payed off. I only have three left to go and one of them should be gone by October 1st. Whoot!!!!

I dunno, I got a lot to be happy for...I guess the reason I'm so stressed is that I'm in the homestretch and nothing has really come to pass yet. It's like I've been underwater too long and I'm swimming to the top and my lungs feel like they are on fire but I haven't broke the surface yet. Make sense?

Okay, back to studying. I have a logic exam Thursday.... ew.

hecticness

I know I haven't posted anything in a while and that isn't from a lack of things going on in my life-it was too much. Literally, there was so much going on that I couldn't bring myself to write about it. I thought if I spoke about it one more time I would go crazy. I did write a quick blog about some of it back when it happened but I never posted it. I have been working a lot, my brother had emergency brain surgery, I cleaned out a section of my dad's apartment, I got a new car, I started school, I got approved for my thesis....the list goes on and on and, frankly, I need a break. I may post what was going on with my brother soon but, as for now, I still don't wanna deal with it. My plans for tonight involve Spike TV, drinking a smirnoff, and working on some logic homework. Forget doing anything else.
