Seriously?

Last night I was sitting on Ian's bed
and i got stung by a WASP.

Clearly the universe is against me

I am trying to think of all the bad things I have done or bad thoughts I have had

Nothing I can think of warrants:
swine flu
car wreck
wasp sting

**however, I do have a bit of a free spirited wild streak so i think i'd better do some service to try and correct my karma.**

Getting car fixed = $2,300
Ambulance ride = $500
X-Rays + CAT Scan = $650
Prescriptions = $35
Missing Work = $200


Being able to tell the story of being hit by the short bus = Priceless
{unfortunately it also worried my poor boyfriend to death}

Twilight's Antithesis

I have found it...
the anti-thesis of Twilight.Featuring:
An eleven year old girl with braces as the heroine.
Plenty of references to Chemistry
Many witty comments
Lots of adventure
British humor
and just enough danger.

Bella has nothing on Flavia.

Read it, you won't be sorry.

P.S. Totally appropriate for all ages.

Happy Birthday to My {other} Favorite Man

Today is my Dad's Birthday!!

Things I love about him...
1) His love for education and enthusiasm for teaching.
2) The example he has set for me of the importance of hard work and service.
3) That he instilled in me a love for learning, reading, and music.
4) That he makes nerdy cool.
5) He listens to NPR every morning
6) How much he loves my mom
7) How he dances around with Moose
8) He came and watched me run in high school even though I was slow
9) He always supports my adventures
10) Even though I am in my last year of college and taking really hard classes he can still help me with my homework.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DADDY!!!!

Belated

A Very Happy Birthday to Mr. Durant!!
He is now even closer to 30 than 20.
I had to remind him how lucky it is that he has a young girlfriend to help him keep what little youth he has left. He agrees with me. {obviously he is still as cool as ever}
I am attempting to make a peach pie from scratch for the birthday boy. wish me luck.

Once and other things

This movie was absolutely fantastic. The soundtrack is a must buy.
Latest great albums (in my opinion)
If you have never heard any of his stuff, give it a listen. So unique and great lyrics.

One of my favorites, second album did not disappoint. Not to mention she is gorgeous.

I'm not a real girl

I don't love....
I read the first two books due to the recommendation of tons of friends. I see why they appeal to people but I'm not digging it. I tried, really I did...but Bella is co-dependent and I've never been one to appreciate a damsel in distress.

And I really don't think Edward is all that great, or hot.

Sorry to Stephanie Meyer but I think your books are kind of yucky.
