The Human Brain

Tonight, or this morning whichever you would prefer to see it as, I was astounded by the human brain and how it works. Please excuse me for my lack of technical terms, but the brain is a problem solving kind of thing. It helps you think of analogies, then think of how much that analogy sucks, and then come to understandings you would have never found if you hadn't first thought up that sucky analogy. With understanding the human brain then turns your body to action, with action you feel much better like there's actually something you can do with your life. This action could be something as simple as cleaning up your room, switching up the decor, or putting away things long past due to be put away. Cleaning up and cleaning all thanks to the human brain.

But in her head bumtumbled a comfort or two...

I wrote this on New Years Day, really really early so... Enjoy :)

1. Not knowing if you’re hungry or queasy isn’t really a good thing.
2. The previous note means a perpetual problem; if you eat and you were queasy, then you throw up, and then if you don’t eat and you were hungry, you stay hungry.
3. Crying movies only help so much.
4. Gilmore Girls cures everything.
5. Being cold is not fun, but I’d rather be cold than hot. Why? Let’s ask Robert Frost.

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

That didn’t really make a whole bunch of sense, but I made a strange connection somehow.
6. Roommates and best friends are God sends.
7. Writing is beautiful.
8. Reading is heaven.
9. Crying is cleansing.
10. Everything happens for a reason.
11. Meeting new people is fun, making new friends is great, but no one can ever replace that one person that you’ve known since you were two.
12. Sometimes finding out that your favorite love song is about a sandwich is ok. It helps you deal with disappointments that may come your way.
13. Peace comes to those who love, and it’s said that the only the love you keep is that which you give away; so in the end those who love end up with peace and love. So I pose this question, why not love a little more?
14. Searching Inward, Reaching Outward, and Looking Heavenward.

I like lists. End :)

My very own computer

So, today I set up my very own computer, in my very own apartment. Needless to say all my avid readers can expect a lot more posts from me in the near future. Woot Woot!

Snow!

It snowed this morning, or last night I guess. Anyway, I was walking to the library and had a sudden urge to throw myself into the white wet stuff and make a snow angel. I'm still a little kid at heart and I'm kind of regretting the fact that I didn't make a snow angel. I have a feeling it'll happen before the day is done, that or I'll slip and fall and pretend that I thrust myself in the snow with every intention of making a snow angel, when really I just biffed it. Either way, happy snow!

Go make a snow angel :)

Walking Backwards

I have had this thought more than once when walking by myself.

Have you ever been walking so slow that you feel you're going backwards? Like instead of putting one foot in front of the other, somehow one foot is going behind and perpetually you are getting no where fast? This happens to me when I don't have a specific place I'm going, or if I'm hoping someone will catch up with me. Its an odd sensation to think that it feels like you are moving backwards instead of forward.

This was just something I've thought about. Nothing earth shattering, and perhaps just some food for thought :)

Things I've learned from College: A series of comments

11. Some professors are exceptionally good :) Even if you don't like the subject they teach.

12. The week before finals week has a taste. Its not a really good taste either.

13. Understanding Psychology is helpful in everyday life.

14. Stressing out is overrated. Don't worry, be happy now.

15. Fresh vegitables are good. Gegitables are better.

Blogging- Kirena Style

So, I also haven't written for a while and feel the need to esplode a little, so I'm taking a leaf out of Kirena's book and writing a lot :)

Thanksgiving is the best when you make enough food for everyone +15. This means leftovers for the poor college student that will feed her for at least two weeks. Thank you Mother Dearest, I love you so! Thanksgiving is also great in that you can eat till you feel like your ribs are going to break because there is so much inside you. A feeling that I don't think I've felt since last Thanksgiving- oh the joys of college. Thanksgiving is great because afterwards you get to play Scrabble and have a Thanksgiving hang over. And last but not least, Thanksgiving is great because you (or I) get to watch my 5 and a half month old nephew scarf down a poached pear and scream at his mother when she stops feeding him. Poor Lisa had to give up a good portion of her soft foods to baby Lucas, but it was totally worth it, at least I think it was- Lisa might disagree :).

For a synopsis of the rest of the weekend I think I'll write a list of a few of my new favorite things:

Snails and how they see the benefits, the beauty in every inch (aka Format)
Marc's Truck and its amazing ability to swim
Meeting new people
Awkwardness
So much stars
Blakes
Brunnin'
Delicate Arch
Sunsets
Baby Lions Back
Cars that start with P
Jack
Breakfast for dinner
Being not not outdoorsy
Playing, Talking, Giggling
Moab
Four Wheeling in Marc's Truck after it goes swimming
Hobo Dinners
Onions
Chocolate Milk
Jimmy Eater of the World
What?

Oh and insert 'Nathan Bagley' on the top, somewhere in the middle, and the bottom of this list.

So this isn't that much, but I still think blogging is good Kirena Style :)
