I applaud Mack for choosing this awesome topic. I'm fascinated by stars, planets and the possibility of alien life forms. Astrology definitely has meaning in my life. I have a tattoo of a Leo sign with three stars that stand for my three best friends. When I was younger I thought I wasn't meant to be a Leo because I was so shy. Carmen and I used to joke that we should trade birthdays, because she was more like a Leo and I was more like a Virgo. Now I feel that I've embraced my sign. I'm definitely more outgoing and confident, if still awkward.
I think that there's life beyond earth. I don't have any scientific theories on the subject, but it's a strong feeling I have. Humans are really selfish and oblivious for the most part. Last night I got high with some friends and watched the sequel to 30 Days of Night, a vampire movie. At the beginning a woman leading a meaning says something like, "There are vampires among us, and I'm going to turn on this super bright light to prove it to you." Everyone laughs, but when she does it several people die because they are vampires. The undead were walking among them and nobody even noticed.
I've also heard a lot about the possibility of a multiverse. If this exists, that would mean that there is an alternative universe for every single action of our lives and all of these layers combine to make our multiverse. For example, there could be a universe in which I wore a black shirt today instead of a gray one. Since this depends on so many tiny individual factors, it's too vast to contemplate but certainly plausible. Think of Back To The Future, when Marty McFly has to make sure that his parents meet so that he can exist. There are so many possible consequences.
The more I think about it, the more it trips me out. Are we real? Am I just a figment of some weirdo's imagination? I can see that. "I'm going to dream up an incredibly awkward chick and send her to college so that she can screw up over and over, become a nude model, and eat enough Beto's burritos to feed an impoverished nation."
The universe often comes up in conversations when my friends and I are drunk/high/cross-faded. Most of us agree that "something is out there, maaaaaan." Then again, none of us are that brilliant under the influence. I remember we had an awesome plan in which we'd get all the world's leaders to smoke weed together. Then there would be no more war. I still hold to that one as being sort of true, I guess.
Overall, the universe is really big and makes my head hurt. I'm going to go to Beto's.

League of BOB Challenge #2: Regrets
I'm with Shannon on this one for the most part. Make no mistake, I have fucked up a LOT. Yet I have to fall back on that old cliche: my mistakes have made me who I am.
I mentioned in a past post that I chose Utah State because my boyfriend at the time was going here. That was a stupid choice, but it's led to awesome things. I love my classes, my friends and my jobs up here. I couldn't ask for a better college life, something I wouldn't have assumed of Utah State had I casually been perusing schools as a high school senior.
I've failed to take responsibility for myself a lot in the past. When I was in high school I wasn't concerned with getting a real job or learning to drive because I just didn't give a fuck. I was self-absorbed and wrapped up in petty things (a lot of them to do with my ex). I feel like I've grown up a lot in the last year and a half. Though I should have been more of an adult back then, fucking around helped me realize what an idiot I was and made me work twice as hard later.
I'm sure when I'm older I'll regret some aspects of my current lifestyle. Smoking, drinking and sleeping around (not now that I'm with Matt) don't do the body good. But the last time I was cross-faded, I had a vision. I was an old lady whose mind was totally fucked up, not unlike Tommy Chong's character in That '70s Show. Though I wasn't all there, I was incredibly happy. I had led a full life. That's what it's all about (:
"There's only us/There's only this/Forget regret/Or life is yours to miss..."--That goddamn musical that everyone at ho's (myself included) was obsessed with freshman year.
It's so true though. I'm 20 years old. Gonna live it up yo! :D

League of BOB Challenge #1: The Halloween Spirit
I know this post is two days late, and I apologize to the other members of BOB. Rest assured it's not because I'm lazy, but busy. Well, maybe a little lazy ;)
Halloween! I'm so stoked. The weather here is awesome and I hope that the globe continues to warm so that I can wear my skimpy Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame costume without a coat. I don't know what my plans for Halloween are yet. I may have to work, but I'll be off by 10 if so and that's when all the good parties start (or later).
Last year I noticed a lot more Halloween spirit around USU than there is now. As of now I still don't know the theme for The Howl or who's throwing parties. I did go to a haunted hollow and corn maze with some friends last night, which was fun. We pregamed for these festivities and had a sleepover at my place after.
When I was little, Halloween was the shiznit. It topped Christmas in my book because I loved dressing up (and still do). If there were a holiday where one could dress up AND receive gifts, then I'd be set for life. Actually, that would be my birthday because most years I've worn a tiara, or at least a cute new shirt or something.
I think most young people go hard or go home when this magical holiday rolls around. You're either sitting home watching scary movies and handing out candy, or crossfaded and throwing up on your One Night Stand costume (true story, it happened to a friend). Though I'm not sure of my plans yet, I will most definitely be going hard. I'm twenty years old and I want to party hardy while I'm still young and stupid enough to do so.
Happy Halloween!!!! (:

Life is Beautiful
So I haven't posted in a while, but I'm stoked for the B.O.B thing. When does that start, anyway?
In the meantime, I'm just really happy and want to write about it.
Reasons Why I am Stoked:
1. I got another job! I applied at T.J. Maxx about three weeks ago, interviewed last week, and got the job this week. I start in the fitting room on Monday. One of my roommates works there so it'll be way fun and convenient. The girl I did orientation with today lives by me so now I know two fellow employees (other than management and all) before I've even started. Wheeeeeeeeeeeee
2. Weekends here are amazing. Friday night is always a party, somewhere, sometimes combined with a game. Though one two weeks ago ended with us running from the cops, I have a bad ass scrape and no M.I.P. ticket to show for it because I ran so damn fast. And I hid in a window ditch for an hour,. Pure adrenaline there. We also go camping in the canyon every Saturday night, which is always a blast. There's no worrying about cops, it's a beautiful area and the funniest shit goes down.
3. I'm kind of seeing someone. He's awesome and I don't know what we are or where we're going. But it's fun. I'm just going to enjoy it and see what happens. :)
4. Jersey Shore, America's Next Top Model and Glee. 'Nuff said.
5. Classes are going well. I slack off but manage to stay on top of them, which sounds weird. I mean that I can skip journalism often but still ace the test. Pure luck? Maybe. I still work though, and I balance stuff well.
6. My new belly button rings. The one I'm wearing now is a Rasta colored peace sign
7. My awesome friends and family. I'm truly blessed. For reals.
Loving life, all in all! (:
