Adverisment

I just found out that when I talk about a product I can make money or something by adding a direct link like the one below. Since Ticonderoga pencils are the only pencils I like to use and have recommended in the past, I wanted to see what this would look like. That is all.

Jumble

I have wanted to post for a while again, just because I want to. So far I have been foiled all to often. Some times I start and just don't know what to say anymore, mostly because I am too tired that my brain turns off. Other times I have my girlfriend or cleaning checks or roommates or something pop up and it makes me put it off.

I want to address my being tired. I am not going to complain like I have wanted to in the past I just wanted to say it. I can function really well when tired because I have had terrible sleeping habits most of my life, most people  don't notice too much when I am tired, because that is just who I am. I usually go from activity to activity using my ADD abilities to keep me awake, because I know as soon as I relax I am done and It will probably take more energy than I have to get me back on track.

That all being said this week I am seriously tired. Yesterday I went to work, and got some things done, but mostly my brain just turned off, and when I wasn't working on something in specific time just disappeared. It is amazing how slow/fast time can go when you don't notice it happening. Then I went to the grocery store. I took an hour there, which felt like five. I got more things than usual, but mostly I just had found a few recipes that I wanted to make for Valentines Day. Tomorrow I plan on waking up early and making breakfast, and then coming home from school and making dinner, while fitting in maybe a ballet and hopefully some homework. I really don't know how I am not going to pass out somewhere along the way, but I will try.

Back on topic, sleeping is hard. There is something wrong with me, that I can be as tired as anyone has ever been, and as soon as I get into bed at night I am wide awake. This phenomenon doesn't happen during the day, I can nap all I want, practically anywhere I want. This is a problem. In the past, and probably still I have had some problems, like I didn't exercise enough in the day or I just like having noise on, which sometimes keeps me up longer than putting me to sleep. Recently I have been doing the noise thing. I don't know what it is, but as soon as the day comes to an end, I don't want to face tomorrow. I don't know why, but that has been keeping me up. I try to drown it out by turning on some show to just fall asleep to, but that doesn't always work. Being afraid of tomorrow every night is not something I am used to. I like my life and I don't know where the fear comes from.

Well I need to get to class and ranting isn't helping. There is homework to be done places to be. I just want to sleep for a week and then I think I will be fine, but sleep is not something that I get to do, even when I have the time.

Life Update

I have wanted to blog for a while now, I just never do it. The other day I almost grumbled when I was grumbly... something about no time, stress from school, and not getting enough sleep... but today I am happy again and just wanted to be a blogger. I enjoy bloggers.

It is my birthday next week. I am going to be 27. That is old. I didn't realize how easy it would be to get old. I am kind of excited to be 27 because I just do better on odd years. I do okay on even years but I have liked all my odd years in my 20s (21,23 and 25) and I have just done okay with my even ones. That sounds strange, but it is kind of true. I actually have a plan for a fun birthday party. I bought some Miracle Berry Tablets (The link is where I got the idea, I got them a bit cheaper on Amazon, yay amazon prime) and I am going to have a tasting party. It should be fun. I just need toy buy some sour things.

Today I got a bunch of emails for free stuff. Last week I went to this web page http://www.freebie-depot.com/birthday-freebie-list/ and signed up for anything near by. I get a few more spam emails per day, but for my birthday it is the best.

I thought I had more to type, but I lost all of my gumption. Goodbye for now.

One Month

I have now been dating Celeste for one month as of yesterday. It has been a good month. I have been more cultured. I have gone to plays and musicals and such. I have gone to a fancy restaurant. It has just been fun. I  have been a bit frivolous on my spending, but I not bankrupt yet. Maybe I should be a bit more frugal. Anyway I am just happy. Which is nice.

Called Out

I have a big mouth. I am often say things out loud without thinking. A good example of this is two Sundays ago there was a pretty tall girl in front of me that had a peacock thing in her hair. At one point said "I can't see there is a peacock in front of me." Celeste wasn't too pleased. I then tried to cover myself... but I just gave up. It isn't worth it to try to redeem myself.

Today for the devotional the BYU Men's Chorus sang. I have never liked them. I have friends in the chorus. They sing great. The only thing I don't like is that they wear crested jackets. I don't even know why I don't like crested jackets, I just never have. When the started signing I told my friends that I hated them, for no good reason, but I did. The guy in front of me said "Can you keep your opinions to yourself I used to be in men's chorus." I felt pretty stupid. Celeste rolled her eyes at me. Luckily I am not a big jerk that gets offended for being offensive. I took the rest of their singing to try and appreciate them rather than hating for no reason.  The crests were kind of cool to see in rows of the singers, except when a short guy was behind a tall one, or a row was askew.

After the singing the guy apologized for calling me out. I just said thank you for doing it. I am thankful he did. More people should call me out for being rude when I am.

I have a girlfriend

Tonight I got into a relationship with Celeste. I am happy. She is too. That is all.:)
