You make beautiful things, you make beautiful things out of the dust.
You make beautiful things, you make beautiful things out of us

I'd originally intended for this to be less blown out but :/ whatever.
N 266NR a 1987 built Canadair CL 215-1A10 at Kingman, Arizona. The tail has the words 'Minnesota Department of Natural Resouces' together with an outline image of that state, the aircraft is believed to be home based at Grand Rapids MN.
so i'm surprised really...today is friday...the dreaded friday...the worst day of the week for me (usually) and it's gone smoothly...i closed one of my bank accounts with no trouble (i no longer needed it) and paid my cell phone and have a frozen pizza for dinner...for me, this i heaven...paid bills and mama celeste in the oven (hehe that sounds bad) and i'm nearly done decorating for christmas, all that's left are the indoor lights and the trees...
I woke up at one. I read. Talked my parents into taking me to the pound to look for a cat. We got there and fell in love. Her eyes were big and blue and when you started to pet her she would move her head to into your hand. We went up to the front to adopt her and they told us she was on hold... awesome. This pound was so great, so beautiful and all the volunteers were super nice. We're going back Monday to see if Lizzy has been picked up and if so we'll go back Wednesday to look again. (I wouldn't call her Lizzy. I'm thinking about naming my new cat Bear.)
I went to the gym. Took a shower and watched the Virginia VS Alburn game. Possibly the first football game I have enjoyed watching in my life. We had to leave in the middle of it to go to a party. BLah. We got there and there were some people in the kitchen, not too many. We were greeted by the host who told us the game was on outside and then hostess saw me and got so excited. "I am so glad you came!!! There are like 20 Jr's and Sr's outside!!!" My heart fell. She took me outside and got everyones attention, "EVERYONE!!! This is Anna, she is new here. Be nice." GOD. I wanted to jump into the pool and emerge after everyone left, but instead I smiled and squeezed my hands together really tight. Things I would enjoy more than being introduced to a big group of people...
1) Having my hand stepped on by a cow.
2) Listening to counrty music.
3) Taking the SAT.
4) Taking the SAT again right after I had just taken the SAT.
I saw Bryson and Hannah. Thank God. There was a tiny sliver of room on their couch but I made it happen. I don't talk to either of them very much but it was nice to at least know someone. I didn't speak. I awkwardly moved my body so I could watch the game... to no avail. Some guy who reminded me of Luis Reyes brought out Catch Phrase and then I started to talk. Another thing I should never do with new people... play a game. I am way to competitive. Whatever, I rocked the socks off of that game. People started leaving and all of the sudden I was on the opposite side of the table with no one on my side. Sitting. Alone. I just got up. I left.
Some man came up to me and started talking to me about college, the first time I have ever wanted to talk about college.
ACC!
I finally made my parents leave. We drove around looking at fireworks.
I think New Years Eve is over rated but I really want to love it. I really do. I want to be pumped about getting a "fresh start" but I'm not. I just want to be in Austin living with Kelsey, reading good books, and being bold enough to cary my camera around. For now, I am here. But, you know what will be nice? Putting 2012 on papers. I graduate this year. WOHO!
Also, 2011 really sucked. A lot. So I'm glad it's over. Here's to you 2012, let's not suck so much the world ends. Okay?
