Well This Is Awkward...

Sorry that I haven't updated in a while, things have been busy!! To catch you up:
-I went on a date with the girl from the drag dance. We got coffee, and it went really well! Though she was all like "I actually can't get involved with anyone", it doesn't particularly matter because she is cute, and I have faith that she will come around eventually. There is a drag dance next weekend on campus and I really hope she comes, she seemed like she wanted to.
-Spring break was the week before last, and that was nice. I didn't really do much, hung out with friends, like, once. Worked a bit, organized things for adding my second major and how to get my license to teach. I really just hung out around the house most of the time.
-Since being back, I have attempted to talk to the Drag girl, and it's been innocent flirting, and working my feminine wiles one her. I've worked out some meetings and what not in order to add my major.
-Last night, we made huge fort out of blankets and played a grand game of never have I ever, also known as slut on the bus while we drank rum, and it was fantastic.
Currently, I am sitting on a pile of blankets and writing this, and awaiting the great tie dying adventure of 2011. It's mighty cold out, but we are tough and can handle anything.
Here have a picture of a puppy in a basket for reading my rambles:

Embarrassing For Your Faces.

So this weekend, in short consisted of:
Friday:
-Hockey game.
Saturday:
-North Hampton (Used record store and used book store. I could live in either for the rest of my life.)
-Drag Dance. (Which included a drag show hosted by Lady Sabrina and had Jujubee who was on RuPauls Drag Race I think...)
-So many girls in drag. SO MANY.
-Danced with cute girl in drag. Got her name and now I'm friends with her in Facebook.
Sunday:
-Went out to lunch with a different girl than those previously mentioned here or in another post. She is nice, but I don't think it was be anything more than a friendship.
-Just messaged Alex and the girl in drag on Facebook asking the drag girl to a coffee, and telling Alex that I will be in the DC tomorrow from 1 to 3 and that she should come by and chat and what not.

Now I'm sitting in Gracie and Anna's room and trolling the internet while we are watching Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. I will later go to my room and bask in the awesomeness of this weekend, for not only myself, but also for Meghan who made one hell of a ballsy move and it worked out really well. I'm so happy for the both of us.

An Interesting Chain of Events...

Well, yesterday was Valentines Day: a day of love and red and hearts and roses and general icky mushyness. Of course, as I was recently dumped, (though I really think I'm getting over it and all that...) I was all like "Fuck Valentines Day, it's dumb. I am going to wear black. Fuck you all." So that's what I did. I wore a super cute outfit that was my black jersey dress and a plaid top and my maroon tights with my black boots. I was looking really really cute, and I was hoping to maybe just maybe talk to Franklin girl (that red head mention in earlier posts). So blah blah blah the day went on and I went to class and whatever. 160 was fine, long and involved talking and then a pretty fun exercise which out team totally won! YES!

So then I get to 140, which is acting, and Dawn, my professor, was all like "Repeating game! Go!!" And basically in this "game", more of an exercise really, but still, and basically all you do is find truthful observations of your partner and say them. And then they "try it on" and repeat it back to you. It's really dumb and there is a lot of eye contact and I hate it. So basically my friend Clay and I started and he's all like "You're this... you're that" and then he says "You're wishing I was Alex." And I was totally thrown off guard. Completely. So I was like... well actually yes. So I said it back to him. And then there was acting shit and I hate that class so much it's not even funny. So yeah.
And then we went to dinner. And she was there. And basically I was with Greg and even though I was like "No! DON'T!" he went up and was like "Hi. my friend Arielle is really attracted to you, and wants to hangout sometime." And she said yes. SHE SAID YES. And that her name is Alex, and that I should add her on Facebook. I decided to wait until I introduced myself. So then, today, I was at breakfast and was alone cause all my friends left, and her friend showed up and sat a table over, and then she walked in. I avoided all eye contact, and she basically walked on my table that's how close she was walking to it. And she did the drop something close to you and pick it up thing. So yeah. It took me a half an hour to work up the gall to talk to her, but I finally went over and this is what I said:

Me: "Sorry to interrupt but my friend Greg came over here last night and embarrassed me and I thought I'd come over and say hi. I'm Arielle. You're Alex right?"
Her: "Yeah I'm Alex. Nice to meet you, we should talk sometime."
Me: "Yeah that sounds good. Last night was mortifying, so yeah. See you around."
Her laugh is SO CUTE. And she has freckles. Oh god, I am defenseless against freckles. And now I'm friends with her on Facebook. God I just love today.Deep down, I'm scared that she's all like "That girl is ugly and weird." But I don't really care, because even if my friend "made the first move" I got over my fear of talking to her, and just did it. I just need to be able to keep it going. Other than that, things are good. I am loving class, and all that. I am really happy. :D

Snow can suck my Sword cock.

Alright, so a few years back when I first started this blog, I started it up in the middle of winter, and complained a lot about snow. I never had any idea that snow could be this torturous. For real. We have had like 3 snow days, cancellations and delays in the past two weeks that we've been back. And the snow that is falling today and tomorrow is supposed to be terrible. It's really bad right now, and it's like stabby little daggers of cold wet death that. I have class now, so I'm gonna go to that.

Good luck in the cold, try and stay warm.

It's Freaky How Well My Mum Knows Me...

So I have decided to add a major: Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies. But I really want to focus on the gender/sexuality side of it, specifically with the education of high school kids about the LGBTQ community. So I called my mum the other day to tell her all this, and this is what she told me:


"I told Christian the other day that I think you're going to be a social worker. I think you will get your degree in social working. You will own a traveling theater group and perform plays about issues relating to gays and lesbians and trans people. Then you'll do assemblies after ward to talk to the students about what they saw and go into further detail about the issues the play touched on."

GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD MUM. I love you, but really, the extent you know me is kinda ridiculous. For example, I am at UMass majoring in theater because you said I would be good at it and love it. And I am, and I am loving it. And now this. UGH. (This not really GTFO, but jokingly so... sarcasmmmmm)
I dunno, I think that is exactly what I want to do to a t. I want generations to come to be educated early on the fact that there is really no difference between your gay friend Sam and your straight friend Gary, besides that nobody name's their kids Gary anymore. And I guess I want to focus on making teens aware that yeah, they are different but not in any way that is dangerous to you. I think my main focus would be trans men and women, and to help make it not such a taboo subject. I have dated a transman, and I respect and applaud them for their courage in a truly not accepting world. I mean, they can't really help what they feel and all that besides feeling they don't belong in the body they're in.
This was just a huge ramble. My apologies....

Update on my totally awkward life:

So I gave Maggie and her family presents for Christmas… and her mum sent me a thank-you card. Isn't that against the code of girlfriends? Like really?! How awkward is that, to get a freaking "thank-you for the scarf, it's so warm" letter?! Ugh I really hate breaking up. It sucks on all levels. I guess that's it really... I just wanted to rant and rave about that a little bit.

In other news, it's fucking cold out, and it fucking sucks. My classes are really great. And I had 2 salads for lunch and dinner today (one for each) and I've only had desert once since I've been back, which I'm proud of! I think I'm gonna go to the gym tomorrow, between 160 and Psych. My roommate is doing Zumba classes down at the rec center, and I think I'm gonna join that. Get me out and moving, even though I can't do any sort of hip dance moves... (I save all mine for the bedroom bahahaha!)

So I'm gonna go and do some reading and responses now. I just wanted to update you-all three of you-on my life and how freaking awkward it is. Oh also! That cute redhead with the glasses form the dance (now calling her Franklin girl) has been nowhere to be found. I don't know her name, what year she is, where she lives. Ugh, I just want to get to know her. But the redhead from my 132 lecture is 100% a girl. Tighter top, skinny jeans, and Uggs is what she was wearing today. I wanted to sit next to her, but didn't because she came in later than me with a friend. Ugh. I just want to find someone...
