So yesterday I got really excited about how gorgeous and perfect Vanessa Hudgens is. But then I got sad because I don't look anywhere as good as her. But then I got glad because I thought that if I had professionals doing my hair and makeup, then I would be at least 50% as pretty as she is! So there's hope sort of!
Which made me feel good in an inferior sort of way.
And that was my Good of yesterday.:)
Today (and yesterday and always) I am very much rejoicing at how long my hair has suddenly gotten! Growgrowgrow!
And today is also visiting with Brian, so I am OUTTA' HERE. Busy weekend for me:). Super secret plans last night, Stevens today into tomorrow, and Superbowl party tomorrow night! Whoopwhoop.

GLACIERS
The ice on campus yesterday was HORRENDOUS. It's amazing what some sunshine (and a lot of salt applied too late in the day) can do for the sidewalks. Seriously campus workers - get.on.that.shit.
One of my irrational fears came true because of it that ice!
I HATEHATE ICE! I'm afraid of falling and hitting my head and hurting myself. I'm even more afraid of watching someone else do the same thing (Careful Niki! Careful don't fall!).
After coming back from the gym (go me! Future hardbody!) I was walking with my friend Scott and FELL ON THE ICE. SIDEWAYS . I was walking on an area of sidewalk that sloped sideways, and it was so freaking slippery that I actually fell. Totally ridiculous. But the good news was that I didn't even hurt myself at all! It was a wondrous fall, if there ever was one. It didn't even hurt later so I know it must have been really good. Fast fall, faster recovery.
I also had to drive yesterday morning DURING all of the slush and ice and snow. Another of my fears (though quite less irrational) is driving during bad weather. Boy, what a brave brave soul I was yesterday...standing up to the natural forces like that.
Anyway, yesterday I also discovered that the maintenance people on campus are just so weird. Not to offend anybody, but sometimes not having an education REALLY shows in people's behavior. Like the maintenance guys. Very odd, really. I won't judge them though (did I already?) because they are very nice and probably just a little bit lonely and inclined to talk to college brainiacs...I would be. They also fix things that I have that are broken, so: thanks for that you guys.
Strangely enough, my Good of the day is having that amazing fall on the ice. How things change! I hope it doesn't happen again, but I'm glad it did. Weird. I'm thinking I didn't explain myself enough on that one...but this is my blog, and such is life.

Spies
Spying ? Really ?
Good of the day: Knowing that I absolutely would not ever spy on someone out the window. Realizing, through this, that I am not a complete and total freak of nature.

No More Pizza, French Fries, or Ice Cream Until Mid-February
It's true! I've hopped the train with Paul, and we will not be polluting our bodies with any of those things until sometime in February!!!! Along with french fries, I am going to eliminate essentially all fast-food. Completely ousting Dunkin Donuts from this category, I will still allow myself (at times) to enjoy the simple pleasures of an egg&cheese on a croissant, plus those zesty hashbrowns which they supply (and which are, for whatever reason, so difficult to order).
Life in the apartment is good. My room is so chill. I'm hoping that I don't end up with a roommate, just because I love how clean the place is all the time (since it's half empty). I would also love the opportunity to move my tapestries from downstairs to my bedroom. Then the chillness would be absolutely complete.
I've decided that I am going to start calling some people sometimes (if you're reading this and I don't call you...sorry!). This decision is very strange for me, because I generally do not like phone conversations.
Anyway- I've called Niki twice and it was very pleasant both times. Telephone conversations also make me feel like a mom (my mom, specifically) in a good way. I feel very ladylike and mature, even if phone-calls don't necessarily constitute either one of those things.... SO. I guess I just feel empowered by the decision to make the action.
Also, I have a problem because my left foot keeps falling asleep underneath me. I refuse to stop sitting on it this way, because it's comfortable, so it should just quit it's restfulness and allow me 100% comfort rather than 98% comfort tinged with worry over sleepy limbs.
Good of the day: Extremely chill looking room.

Living Stag
So, as recent events have unfolded...I now live in a very large bedroom completely by myself! I can't say I mind too much. It isn't awesome enough to be my Good of the day though.
Which happens to be watching Brian fence at NYU!!!! I have never seen fencing before, and it did not disappoint (Plus, it was free!). Despite the fact that a majority of the uniforms were unfortunately stinky. What I really like about fencing is that for the first time watching a sport, I didn't have a preference for watching the men or women. Go ladies! The whole thing was interesting enough that there really was no differentiating. Maybe if I knew what was going on a little bit more? Let's just hope that isn't the case..I don't want to ruin this for myself.
Tonight was the first Sunday back at school, which meant evening Mass at the York room. I have to say, that for a good part of the experience, I felt pretty uncomfortable being there. The Pro-Life March on Washington was this weekend and everyone at church was so hyped up about it. Which is fine, I guess? Except for that I am Pro-Choice. And no- I don't condone the killing innocent babies...so don't ask me if I do. Gee. Anyway, I just cannot stand the idea of the church trying to become involved with laws. I completely understand where those who are Pro-Life are coming from...believe me, I am as close to be Pro-Life without actually being it as is possible. Which is beside the point, because if that's what you choose to care about and judge other people on then you have more than one issue that I don't even wish to acknowledge. But the Church should just try to take a backseat, support what the government decides (it's hard! I know!) and be a little less "Churchy" about its opinions.
SERIOUSLY. Because being all in up in other peoples' faces is just not the way to go when you are truly trying to get a point across. When two people argue, the person who remains calm has the upper hand. And the Church is just so uncalm when it comes to certain issues.
OK-I'm not really sure where this is going and my body aches too much to follow through with my actual point or edit any of what I just wrote.
If you're offended by anything written, you can tell me about it, but I probably won't respond.
So!
Good of the day (just to reiterate) : Watching Brian fence the invitational @NYU!:D

Getting By
First class this evening. It was awesome. It's Intermediate Painting and I'm totally psyched on it. The class is all girls, which doesn't truly affect me since I have a boyfriend who I'm happy with...but having guys around is mostly always nice because they bring something else to the room. Like penises and testosterone. You know.
Anyway, this day feels like it was 48 hours long instead of only 24. Nuts. It was productive because I worked out and watched the Inauguration (ie-history in the making). I saw every single friend I have around and even made a trip to 7-11. I watched lots of Arrested Development and Thom Paul and I watched some hilarious show starring the guy who produced Seinfeld? Larry something? I forget the name of the show, but it was definitely one of the best pieces of comedy I have ever seen. It was very different and real seeming because of the improv used...
My Good of the day is probably Inauguration. But also that show with that Larry guy who produced Seinfeld. And also seeing every single friend I have around. So that makes today a really good day. :)
