I'm going to tell you a story about my car. This car, a green Pontiac Grand Am, is a total rockstar car. It's complete with faded and chipped paint on the hood, two barely functioning windshield wipers that I have been too lazy and broke to replace, a non-functioning back window that makes terrible noises if you ever try to roll it down, a blown speaker, and a cd player that is faulty and scratches cds. Oh, yeah. This car is worth a large fortune.
I have a tendency to allow a lot of mess to accumulate in this car. Since I live with both of my divorced parents, I keep all of my things in the backseat and I usually don't bring them inside to either of my bedrooms. Today, I had enough. I decided that it was disgraceful to such a beautiful machine to keep it so cluttered! Not to mention a little embarrassing on my part to drive my friends around in the mess. So I took the great machine to a car wash and paid $13.00 to have it shined up and cleaned on the outside and I took a couple of hours freshening up and "detailing" the inside. Now, I love this car. It's like it's brand new! And hey, it smells phenomenal.
I finished cleaning my car and I was filled with this sudden motivation to clean everything! I did the dishes, cleaned my kitchen, did 3 loads of laundry and cleaned my bedroom. I never thought I would get so much done! But, I guess the truth should finally be revealed. I have a huge exam tomorrow and I'm distracting myself from studying. All of my efforts to procrastinate resulted in a clean environment, but I still don't know anything about chapters 3 through 6 of my textbook.
Well, until next time..

Valentine's Day?
I was so busy today fretting about classwork and Gaga's new fashion craze (see my "Horny" blog) that I forgot that it was just Valentine's day!
I was checking my Facebook and gosh, there were only two posts that kept showing up. Either, "Wow, I'm so glad I spent today with my valentine." or the ever so.. Lovely.. "Singles Awareness Day, Valentine's Day is the worst day ever!" So I guess I decided to share my thoughts. I like going for the dramatic, usually that's how I am around my friends, always exaggerating. So, here are my thoughts on the day of love.
I wish I could pull up some history about how this is really a pagan holiday celebrated in ancient days by Satan worshipers and drunks, but judging by what I've read lately it's not really an adaptation from anything bad. Like at all. I guess I should start by saying that I do enjoy Valentine's Day most of the time. Today, for instance, I went out to breakfast with a handsome friend of mine and we saw a movie. This instead of school made my Valentine's Day a good one. I took a nap around six since I was up until 3 doing math homework.... All around uneventful, but perfect Valentine's Day. I've often wondered - why do so many people hate this time of year? I guess it's a painful reminder of the fact that they have no one to share their love with, but why so much angst? Stick to your friends! At least you have that much. And, well, if you don't, then try a vibrator or blow up doll to get you through until the 15th :)
All I'm saying is that if you take anything from this day be it positive or negative - you should at least see it as a time to laugh about the jerks you used to know among friends who are still by your side to share those memories!

Horny
Oookay, I just have to say something. Lady Gaga. What an icon, right? She is, in my opinion, quite the human being. When she was first becoming popular I was definitely not a fan. My sister was, like, a die hard fan on the other hand. All of the time it was, "Just dance!" I was not amused. Then one night I was watching Saturday Night Live, the best show ever on NBC and Lady Gaga was the performer for that episode. Great! Right? So I was listening to this artist that I despised and was like, "Wait a second.. Who is this? Surely this piano and awesome voice is not that dance-techno-sounding woman that my sister's in love with." I was converted.
Moving on.
Her style choices have always been a little weird to me, and I guess to a lot of the public, but I always try to read the stories behind those bizzarre wardrobe choices of hers, so I was understanding and loving still. I've seen countless interviews of hers with the reoccurring theme of living life rejecting prejudice, rejecting cliche`, and rejecting normality in the eyes of people who hold themselves to be better than you somehow. Now, obviously this is paraphrased. But she's a very confident and controversal person that I've basically learned to respect.
Now, to the point of my blogging tonight! February 14, 2011, Lady Gaga is on Jay Leno and I am seeing for the first time these strange... HORNS coming out of her face and shoulders! I had to do a double take, sure I'm being dramatic, but I just did not understand her thoughts behind the eyebrowless, horny mess. Usually I'm very supportive and full of admiration, but right now all I can do is blog about it. I am distressed.
For those who haven't seen, this is the cover art for her new single: Born This Way.
Now, in this picture she actually looks pretty glamorous pulling off this strange sort of "I'm filming an alien movie right now" look. But on Jay Leno tonight she really wasn't looking THIS great.
I'm still a fan and I'm still going to download this album as soon as it comes out in May, but I'm not going to understand for a while why exactly she chose this look. :) I know that it's probably perfect in her eyes though and hey! That's what matters, right?
