Sexiness with a Cigarette

Natalie Dee you slay me sometimes.

I've been perusing some cartoons created by Natalie Dee lately. Between class. During class. I'm not gonna lie, they're not all fantastic but I do like a great deal of them. This one here particularly struck my fancy because my older brother is completely obsessed with Michael Caine.

I mean come on! It's Michael Caine! Look at that sexy face!


I first got to see Michael Caine when he played Ebenezer Scrooge in The Muppet Christmas Carol. Then he played in Secondhand Lions, Miss Congeniality, Austin Powers: Goldmember, The Dark Knight, and most recently Inception.

He's just one of those guys that you add to your movie to give it copious amounts of class.

I definitely need to go and check out some of his earlier work for 2 reason.
1.) He is a really good actor.
2.) Did you not see that picture?? He is one Handsome Man.

Ta Ta For Now

Piece by Piece

I love that I'm making all sorts of titles for these blog posts and they don't always have that much to do with the blog posts themselves. If you read into the titles you can understand what I'm getting at. Except for that one I titles "Mmmm Candy" I could have gone and elaborated what I meant by "candy". I shall do that This Very Instant! (she stated in a dramatic voice)

Sorry you'll have to say it in a dramatic voice in your head cuz I don't want to take the time to make a video and post it along with this.

Anywho, "Mmm Candy" refers to medicine. It all started back in high school marching band when I was taking ibuprofen fairly often to counteract the pain I was feeling for some reason or another. Yea so I just referred to medicine as candy. That's the story. Nothing to grandiose or anything about it. If you wanted more of a story I guess I could come up with one, but.....I'm not feeling it today.

The real reason I wanted to hop on here and update my blog was because I've been stumbling, and if you don't know what that means it's a special little do-hickey that Firefox has, and I found some really great sites that I thought I would share with you.
Aren't I thoughtful?

AM I NOT MERCIFUL?!?!

Oh sorry.......It just reminded me of Commodus in Gladiator.

But yes the links themselves. Here we go....

Alright so this one is super duper fantastical. You can Make Your Own Kaleidoscope!!! How snazzy does that sound??
Answer: Very

This link here isn't quite as fantastical, but it is incredibly interesting. It took me to a wikipedia page about this guy getting his face all messed up as a kid. From there stories were told about this guy and legends made. It quite fascinating. Which fits right into my need to use words that start with the letter "f".

I also came across this picture here

and thought that it was super fricken fun. (I'm running out of "f" words....)

You know what I realized. Well maybe not. It's sometimes hard to keep up with what I'm thinking.

Like I just thought of marshmallows
and elephants
and Reeses
and a wooden peg leg of a pirate....

Anywho, what I realized was that I went into extreme detail of what I had meant when I titled my blog post "Mmm Candy" but I did not elaborate what this title, "Piece by Piece", means.

All I was thinking when I was working, quite diligently I might add, on this blog was that I'm just throwing things together and making them all fit.
Like a puzzle.

Oh ho! You get it now?
That's enough.

Sick am I

It occurred to me that I have not updated this blog in quite some time.
My bad.
Well hey I'm updating it now. Better late than never.
So hey ya'll I've got a good excuse for you. Are you ready for this?
An elephant stepped on my foot and so I had to get a cast and I've been doped up on meds for the past few days.
No? You don't believe me? Well I don't blame you. It was a lie.
Just a little one though.
It was more of a joke....cuz I knew you wouldn't believe me.

Anywho, I've seriously been sick for the past few days. Lemme see......since Monday and it's currently Saturday. So yea it's been awhile. A while. I forget which one you're supposed to use when. But yes, I have been sick. My tonsils are literally the size of golf balls. We thought that I had strep throat because I was so prone to it in my youth. Came up negative. Then we thought that since I'm so tired all the time that I had mono. Came up negative. So we currently have no idea what I caught but I'm taking omxycillin and vitamin C pills all the time. Plus momma's got me eating bananas. Random.....

I went to sleep last night at like 6:30 and woke up at 2 this morning. Lame sauce. It took me forever to get back to sleep. Talk about irritating. I had like a dozen messed up dreams.
I was a Russian spy in Germany who was trying to get information about some sort of bomb.
Angelina Jolie and I were trying to save this girl from some chinese pirates. She wanted to take out the captain and fight the whole crew, so I let her do that while I went and got the girl. I got out of there and just left Angelina cuz to be frank I don't like her one bit.
Another dream was of me trying to fall asleep.....odd....maybe that was just me being awake.....
And there's a few others that I don't quite wish to put into text form ;)

Other than my being sick, it has been an enjoyable time at home. I was able to eat 2 thanksgiving meals.
Yay turkey.
I have to get back to school tomorrow.
Bleh.
But hey at least I found the time between my doping up on medicine and naps to finally post an update.
Yay me!
Bye ya'll

Mmm Candy

At this very moment I should be working on a 5 page paper for my English 230 class but I feel obliged to take the time and talk to my fellow bloggers. What? You don't believe me? Yea well you're right. I just don't want to work on the paper. I'm a college student alright I have better things to do.....like update my blog.....

Anywho, today was not the best of days for Miss Amy Jo Brookins. For multiple reasons being stress in school, a heavily weighted backpack and I'm assuming a sleeping position gone awry my back has been screaming at me literally all day.

"Hey you! I'm going to make your day suck just because I can!"

Not the nicest thing to say to me. It can be very rude sometimes, but hey you can't live with it you can't live without it. Well it's more that you can't live without it....period. So yea I just took 5 ibuprofen to shut it up. Jeez I hope I don't die....

But yea on another more uplifting note Fruesday is coming up. Woot woot! I shall only have 2 classes on Fruesday instead of the 5 I would have. Grr I know. Yea why did I go and schedule the bulk of my classes Mon/Wed/Fri. Silly silly me. I think I scheduled my classes better next semester. I'll have my 2 art classes Tue/Thur so that should be fun. 6+ hours of art plus whatever else I need to spend in the studio. But hey I'm actually excited about that :)

Oh jeez you know what I just remembered? Course you don't. So yea I just remembered that I have to take the Praxis on Saturday. It's basically supposed to be an amped up SAT for teaching majors. I gotta pass that so that I can actually apply to the teacher's college and start taking my teaching classes. That's going to be a 4 hour testing period. I am NOT looking forward to that. Gah but It's necessary.....

So has your head every felt like it was electrified? Mine did last night.....Maybe that's a bad thing. I dunno.

Well hey ya'll I'm off to write my paper! bleh....

And remember I don't own an umbrella.

Today is Today

This blog post is inspired by Campbell's Soup At Hand soup, the Across the Universe soundtrack and my damp pant legs.

Point 1:
I have no idea how I feel about this Soup At Hand soup. I mean the name they plastered on it is redundant. You have Soup in the title, why do you need to repeat that it's soup?
Answer: You don't.
And apparently my microwave is a complete beast because my Soup At Hand soup burnt the roof of my mouth when I tried to drink? it. Or maybe I just put it in for too long.....But of course I'm going to blame the microwave.

Point 2:
I recently acquired the Across the Universe soundtrack from my buddy Evan and I'm so excited to be listening to it. I remember when I hadn't seen the movie and I tried to listen to the I Am the Walrus song.......I'm 99.999% sure that I had a very perplexed look on my face.
Which actually is quite normal. Maybe not perplexed, but definitely odd. I make many odd facial expressions. They're fun to make for 2 reasons: They just feel funny when I make them and they make other people laugh.

Point 3:
So yea the weather outside is pretty dreary right now. I woke up this morning to a beautifully foggy day? Yea not so beautiful. It wasn't too bad when I walked out there to my one class today at noon thirty. Gotta love Tuesdays/Thursdays. Course when I walked out it was raining and cold. Thankfully there was no real wind because man oh man that would have sucked. So yea that lead to the edges of my pants getting wet from the puddles of water on the sidewalks.

Well I have finished my Soup At Hand soup and am eyeing a turtle cookie from Otis Spunkmeyer. Please excuse me while I go forth and dine on the deliciousness.

I am horrible with titles

So I'm not gonna lie to you (whoever you might be) I'm a bit anxious about writing this blog. I think it's my underlining fear of rejection. But hey let's just get over that for the time being and try to write a blog or two. Who knows maybe I'll write on a regular basis. I have no idea.

So I want you (again whoever you might be) to know that I am a very random person. I don't have ADD or ADHD or whatever but I do jump from subject to subject. This is just a disclaimer for possible blogs to come: I will not edit (much) of what I'm thinking. I find that it's more interesting if I just write whatever I'm thinking of. That's how some of my best poems have come out. And hey you know maybe I'll post a poem on here.

Idk. We'll see. I like writing in these choppy sentences. It helps. Idk. Reminds me of Ted DekKer. If you don't know who he is look him up on wikipedia or something. He is an AMAZING! Christian writer. And it's not like "Oh I'm Christian and I'm going to slam this in your face." No, it's more like "Hey here's a fricken amazing story that has a theme dealing with some Christian aspect." It's nifty.

I love the word nifty.

I also like writing in these sorts of lines/paragraphs/stanzas whatever-be-hat-cha

Yes, I just said that.

Alright so this has just been a small morsel of what might, could, probably, possibly, most likely happen in my blog posts to come.

If you like my blogs let me know. Yay positive feedback!
If not.....well please don't rain on my parade. I don't own an umbrella......
