Strangers on a Train

Well well well. I would like to start blogging regularly but then again, that's what I wanted to do with my last two posts... which were awhile ago, so much so that I had forgotten my password and sign in name, but obviously... I remembered. I just have to remind myself for future notice- Arielle, no ! in this one- OK.... I went to Hastings with Kyla around 10ish and had a very large vanilla frappe so I am very NOT tired. I am completely in love with my store discount, 2 large frappes for four dollars!!! cha ching. I started working at the cafe, and I LOVE it!! Its way more chill then working at the front cash registers and I get free drinks while I am working... Its def more my cup of tea.... LITERALLY hahahahhahahah. someone asked me why I liked working in the cafe better, and that was what I said... lol I thought it was funny. While I was at Hastings I checked to see if they had any copies of Strangers on a Train. I have been wanting to buy it for quite a while but couldn't ever find it. They had a copy!! so I got it... or well Kyla got it for me ;) We started watching the first half of it tonight, but Kyla started to drift off so we will watch the rest of it tomorrow. I didn't realize how nostalgic watching that movie would make me feel. The first time I saw it I was visiting Andi in Texas for a week, she was going to school in San Marcos and we went to visit one of her friends dorms. It was a rainy day and when we walked into the lobby of the dorm her friend and a bunch of people were watching it. I remember sitting there thinking how awesome it was to be there and how college-y it all felt. I really loved San Marcos, that was a really awesome trip!! there was this super cute diner that my mom and I ate at there, it was soo amazingly delicious. I miss Andi a lot!! I want to visit her so badly, and meet Abigale and Brandon. It's bizarre how much has happened since we saw each other last and how different we both are, but whenever I do talk to her its like we haven't skipped a day. I need to call her more. Big kitty is curled up next to me, I think that she is very happy that I moved home. or well am in the process of moving home. Kyla and I were both living with Jen, but since my mom and brother moved to Germany, we moved back into my parents house so that we don't have to pay rent. I do miss living with Jen though. I love talking to Jen and Heather, I haven't really seen them since we moved... but then again, things have been pretty busy lately with work and with school. btw. I REALLY DISLIKE OCCC. I am so ready to be done there. but at least my teachers aren't too bad so far... my mom was telling me about the school through the base in Germany and how I could take classes over there. That would be amazing. but I really don't want to leave, unless I could take Kyla with me, if I could I would be there in a heart beat. Some of the pictures they have sent me are unbelievable. I wish I could just travel for the rest of my life, just be a nomad like Anthony Bourdain. I bought one of his books, Kitchen Confidential... i have started reading it.... along with like five other books.... thanks to my Hastings discount I keep buying books and get distracted with the ones I have already started. oh well. they will give me something to look forward to. I have been hanging out with Andrea lately, which is good. She got back from camp about a week ago and is all tan and has freckles now.... which I am completely jealous of... maybe if I wasn't so freakishly white and went outside more I would gets some too. anyways, she said that since she got back she realized how small and self centered her view of the world was (or something like that, I don't quite remember her exact words), and I thought that was pretty amazing and so true, It's so easy for me to forget that and when someone or something brings it to my attention, its so refreshing. :D so thank you Andrea. I learned today that i can make a kick ass cappuccino... haha or well my version of a cappuccino... just a touch of vanilla syrup, just enough to make it a little sweet then topped with whipped cream( and yes, i know that a real cappuccino doesn't need whipped cream but whateve) and some chocolate on top- scrumdidilyumptious, however, I am not quite this good yet...go figure, but it will give me something to work for, yes it might take me the rest of my life ha, but maybe one day. ahh ok. well I'm starting to get tired... the effects of the caffeine are slowly but surely wearing off. I am going to start a list of things i want to do relatively soon. and here it is


list of things to do relatively soon-
Go camping
Actually finish a book before starting another one
Go to the gym more ( I went last night wooo hoo!!)
Cook more and eat out less
Do some sewing
Be studious
Do yoga or meditate or something

OK, that's good for now. I could keep going but then I think it would just be overwhelming and I wouldn't get very much of it done.


OH YEAH one last thing, any one wanna take meditation classes with me?? check it out
