Musings of a Single Girl on Valentine's Day (It's not as pathetic as it sounds!)

Okay, so I'm a big Disney nerd, in case you didn't know already. However, I cannot say that I recommend their philosophy of love. I present my case: Would someone, please, answer these Questions that confuse me! On Mr. Right, please, shed some light For rather obtuse me... How will I know him without his white steed? Will he know who I am if I’m no girl in need? If he’s not in a cape, how’ll I know if he’s brave? If I’m not in distress, how’ll he know who to save? If he can’t wield a sword is he scratched off my list? If my father says no, should I pout and insist? Will he always give flowers or just blow a kiss? If he wakes me from slumber will our lives end in bliss? If I fall for a guy whose face is a fright, Will he somehow turn handsome one magical night? If my hair’s super long, will that draw him to me? Or should I sing really loud off a high balcony? I thought this’d be easy: ha, what a hoot! I have to kiss frogs and eat poi

The spawn of boredom

Closed... ...open! Okay, like I said, my fits of boredom have resulted in long intervals of, shall we say, distractedness? The outcome of which may arguably be less than beneficial. But I submit that there are circumstances, however few, when I can look back with pride at my accomplishments in those periods of not-doing-what-I'm-supposed-to. Take for instance my sweet action Google Nexus case I hand-crafted!! Not only is it wicked sick, but it cost me a mere $2.38!!

I have a lot of hair to work with but fear brought on by past mistakes restrains me from going *too crazy! For months now, I have been OBSESSED with Alex Kingston's (River Song from  Doctor Who ) hair. I think she

In case any of you were wondering – I’m going insane! I know most of you believed me to have arrived already, but I assure you my state continues to worsen! Talking to myself has been superseded by laughing constantly at my own jokes (I really am hilarious!). My evenings of educational movie watching have degraded to a YouTube obsession (hour after hour of Doctor Who confidential & video diaries mostly!).   Infrequent boredom fits have been known to escalate into hours (days) of spontaneous cleaning and organizing. My once disciplined & focused mind has been replaced with the ADHD mind of a four-year old! The lack of social engagement (limited to 5 hours a week – all at church) has truly taken its toll! I question whether or not I will ever again be able to function “normally” - least of which includes shaking the British accent which of course is all that’s used around the house (with an occasional switch to Scottish or Yorkshire).
