The Road to Tinue

The following is an account of the road trip I took with several of my closest friends here to watch Cross Country Nationals. The trip took place the weekend before Thanksgiving, from Thursday afternoon to Sunday morning.

WAIT UPDATE ON THE MOST HILARIOUS THING EVER DEREK PLEASE LOOK (and others too)

So I was looking up our website on Google and some other website had linked to Derek's Post "At Least I Still Have My Personality" and I was like "Hmmm, are people publicizing our blog? That's so cool" and then, you know, I felt resentment about the fact that it's not my post being highlighted.

BUT THEN I clicked on the link and GUESS WHAT TYPE OF WEBSITE WAS PUBLICIZING DEREK-THE-EXTREME-ATHEIST'S POST?

*Ahem*

It's called "Kid's Belief" and its About Us is (Italics and Bolding are mine):

"We hope to share news, views, information, and more about the latest in Kids Ministry.  We produce original content as well as AGGREGATE great content related to Kids Ministry.  We draw content from across the web, from twitter to youtube, from google to yahoo, and then sort that content, placing the best, most relevant content on the front of our site.

We provide links, with summaries, to articles from great sites across the web that are related to Bible stories for kids."

Well, anyways, I thought I should share. DEREK SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF JESUS. IT IS YOUR CALLING.

I always think "WED-NES-DAY" in my head when I write Wednesday (like just now)

Today I'm just going to write a list of thoughts because you can't stop me and I don't feel like doing anything else. Also, doesn't it sound like such fun!?

Howdy Howdy Howdy

I have a final in less than five hours.  A problem set due and quiz in twenty.  And a formal lab report and additional quiz in forty four.  Needless to say, it's going to be a long two nights. Not surprisingly, I don't feel comfortable using up too much time to post.  I too, like Rachael, still want to express that I haven't forgotten about the blog, and that I still care about it. We'll see if next semester I'll have more time.  Doubtful, but hopeful. See you hopefully over Winter break.

Harry Potter Obsession Continues

You may have noticed that today is Tuesday.  I have also noticed that.  Somehow last night at 2 in the morning, I forgot that I was supposed to post.  I remembered earlier in the day, but I was busy having five hours of class and going to meetings and completing fun research (oxymoron if I ever saw one, except in those cases where “research” is a euphemism for facebook stalking).

Food, Glorious Food

I really don't like typing on the phone, so this will be brief. I'm currently at a friend's house in Sudbury, Massachusetts, where I am spending my Turkey Day break. I'll tell you a couple things so this post isn't completely meaningless:
I watched the first HP movie with some friends a few nights ago. If you get the chance, watch the Gringotts scene again and see if you notice something that makes absolutely no sense.
I ran in a local 5k today. Well, jogged it. 18:49. It's the off-season, yep.
Thanksgiving was awesome. I do love me some good food.

Next week: A more complete synopsis of my break, plus a play-by-play of last weekend's ~35 hour road trip to Indiana and back.

Thanksgiving Eve

Hello friends and family, and happy Thanksgiving Eve, where the family gathers around the dinner table to eat Chinese food. I really don't have much to say about this week since all I've been doing is lazing around or shopping with my mom, but let's give this a shot. Onwards? Onwards! (It's been a while).

Week of Victories

Hi guys!

Well, some good things have been happening to me.  I’m looking forward to coming home in less than a month, but suddenly, or at least for now, everything’s going my way.

Runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load

A couple weeks ago (Or was it last week? Or three weeks ago?) I wrote a post on Thursday and attempted to time delay its publication on the blog until Friday. Unless I am mistaken, I was successful in this attempt. Yes, I know, I know, that makes me a very gifted human being. Thank you. I am here to announce today, Thursday the 15th of November in the 2012th year of our lord (of someone's lord, anyway), that I shall try for what was previously thought impossible: time delaying my post twice. Yes, brothers and sisters, you are reading the words of a Thursday again. I suggest you enjoy them.

Bates College: For the price I'm paying, it has to be good.

This week's post is sponsored by Parks and Recreation.
"Parks and Recreation. Helping Nicole become more of a recluse since 2012". But seriously, I'm already midway through season 4. So, you know, that's what I've been doing this past week. Needless to say...

Busy Busy Busy

I'll see you guys next week, I'm really busy and don't have time for a proper post.

So I don't leave you with absolutely nothing, I'll tell you I went shopping in SF on Saturday.  Twas a lot of fun.  I went with Barbara and she was extremely helpful because she, unlike me, knows where to shop and what to shop for.  Having someone like that who is fashion savvy is very helpful to those who are in need of help i.e. me.  I spent over $200 which was quite traumatic, but I got a lot of great clothes so yay there.  Three pairs of pants, two sweaters, and a t-shirt to be exact.  I'm trying to make the transition into a more mature look.

Well I'll talk to you guys later.  Can't wait to be back in Newport in a little more than a week.

Sick sick sick

Hey guys.  I'm sick.  Can't post right now but I had a good weekend as this may suggest to you:

I saw Shane for the first time since August and we met our Baltimore family and went kayaking, among other adventures.  Oh wow we are cool.

P.S. He got me a Gryffindor tie.  Need I say more.

The Road Goes Ever On and On

Mammoth got six inches today. Li' dat.

Sweaters, Popcorn and... Sexual Assault

I'm in the middle of Winter Cleaning. It's like Spring Cleaning, except only I do it, and it's an unhealthy obsession with getting rid of things rather than a nice cleansing experience. But anyways...

Election Day! Just voted!

It has been so long since I've written a formal blog that I no longer know what to write about.  The past weeks have blended together in one flurry of work and fun and it's hard to separate all the noteworthy instances from one another.  Well, without further ado, lets journey through the random bits of my life as I remember them:

Tired at 9 PM? I’m an Old Lady.

I hate self portraits like this because they are inherently narcissistic, but I haven't done anything cool enough since Saturday to have a real picture of myself with red hair

I have red hair!  Kind of.  It ended up being more of a tint than a full dye, because I didn't use bleach.  The front is the red-ist.  Also I’m already tired.  I think it’s from staying up late doing research… last Wednesday night.  Because I went to bed at 11:45 last night, the earliest this year.

A mug of ale in my hand, putting my feet up on a settle after a hard day's work.

Yesterday I wore gloves on a run for the first time this school year. Last night I wore socks to bed for the first time this school year. Brace yourselves. Winter is coming.
