Is there a job where I can just get paid for watching "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and blogging? Because that's pretty much all I feel like doing anymore.
There's not? Alas.
Guess I'll stick to chemistry then.
I have a question to pose to you, readers. I'm planning my 21st birthday extravaganza, and have a couple of ideas for what to do.
Option 1:
Playing laser tag.
Option 2:
Eating chicken tikka masala and naan bread at India Palace.
Option 3:
Seeing "Alice in Wonderland" (celebration of my un-unbirthday! how appropriate!) and maybe having a "tea" party.
Option 4:
Mocktails in test tubes à la classy scientist party.
Option 5:
All/some combination of the above.
What say ye?

I have a suggestion
Watch "The Last Airbender" trailer.
I promise, you'll get at least half-excited as I am.
(but not more than I am, because I don't think it's physically possible. This is the girl who searched etsy yesterday for a Katara water tribe necklace for 2010's Halloween costume. To quote my sister, "People don't realize how big of a nerd you are.")
Just click here. It's only 32 seconds long, and oh so very worth it.

not to brag, but
my little brother is a rock star.
For reals.
He plays drums in the band Marina and Some Boys
featuring...Marina...and some boys.
They are incredibly talented and adorable (he's on the far left).

And they got robbed this weekend by two severely musically challenged bands.
Dear Battle of the Bands judges,
Were you even LISTENING to ***** band?! Or were you too distracted by their guitarist's ill-fitting True Religion jeans and the choreographed head banging?! (HAIROGRAPHY? KILL YOURSELF!) Did the fact that they have a gig at the Velour next week (who's paying to see them? you ought to if you'd like to listen to some rhythm-less, melody-less, harmony-less crap for an hour) CLOUD YOUR JUDGMENT or was it all of the smoke and mirrors (literally on the smoke, they blew it right out of their mouths...slightly satanic/we wish we were dragons?) that left us with zero substance??? Or how about the utterly lackluster performance by Seinfeld obsessed *****? Really? How could you fail to notice their complete lack of synchronization in one of my favorite Relient K songs?! Their drummer was totally off, not to mention the singer's boring and out of tune voice! "Be My Escape" left us all wanting to escape right out of the auditorium!
I really hope that next time you decide to judge a music competition, you actually bother to listen to the bands.
Sincerely,
Katie
Side note: Readers, they might still have a chance to be the wild card in the state battle of the bands if they upload one of their songs and enough people vote for them. Should they decide to do so, I'm going to beg and plead with you with all my heart to vote. They really deserve this.
Anyway, I hope your Saturday night was thoroughly less enraging than mine. Bon weekend!

like a little seed
"Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise."
-Alma 37:6
This week has been really, really rough. And right now I'm sort of clinging to the hope that the fact that I gave up two hours of my evening going to the temple (small thing) instead of doing a number of other things that need to be done will help me get my presentation (great thing, as in huge task, not as in my presentation is going to be so awesome) done before 7 AM tomorrow.
My chem lit professor would cringe at the construction of that sentence.
Here's to having a little faith, for once.

Guys. I need your opinion.
What do you think of high waisted dresses, jeans, skirts, etc on girls? Think high waist pencil skirts, jeans with shirts tucked in, etc.
See exhibit A:
After a very eye-opening conversation, I came to the realization that what I think is cute may not actually be attractive. Help me out here!

this is unimportant, but
what is with me and repeating words or short phrases three times in the last few posts?
just saying...?

utter lack of capitalization
curse my lack of foresight for not wearing waterproof mascara
Today is one of those days when I feel very small and ask myself what I was thinking when I declared this major.
Too hard, too hard, too hard.
Too hard, too hard, too hard.
