I'll have you know that indeed, I have completed one of the objectives from my list of 25 things to do this semester! hey hey number 17, you're off the tally list now! but I wouldn't mind in the least to complete you again :)

the little brain that could

i just might make it

i just might make it

i just might make it

that is

if my brain

doesn't fall out of

my skull in the next hour...

wake up

Dear Prudence

open up your eyes

Dear Prudence

see the sunny skies

The wind is low

the birds will sing

that you are part of everything

Dear Prudence

won't you open up your eyes?

dear prudence

the beatles

new world, new ways

now we're back to the beginning

it's just a feeling and no one knows yet

just because they can't feel it too

doesn't mean that you have to forget

let your memories grow stronger and stronger

til they're before your eyes

they'll come back when you call them

no need to say goodbye

they'll come back...

no need to start to cry

the call

regina spektor

keep pushin'

I'm still angry with no reason to be

At the architect who imagines

For the every man, blessed Sisyphus

Slipping steadily into madness, now that's the only place to be free

But here it come, that heavy love

You're never gonna move it alone

Shell Games

Bright Eyes

happy birthday conor

might as well

Blue eyes, they change like the weather

Blue sea, blue sky, blue pain

I wouldn't trust my own blue-eyed reflection

As far as I could throw that mirror

But these are just silly eye-colour generalizations

You shouldn't believe a word I've said

'Cause when you're lying in your bed

Darkness 'round your head

Your eyes might as well be polka-dotted or plaid

Polka-dotted or plaid

Silly Eye-Colour Generalizations

checkin' 'em off!

without really meaning to, I've already completed 2 things on my list of 25!

13.) Snow date with friends!

On Thursday, after getting back from a delightful snowshoe through the woods, my roommate and I decided to frolic across campus in the snow. We bundled up in snow pants, hats and scarves on a mission to make as many snow angels across campus as we could.

And so we charged across campus, pausing every once in a while to throw ourselves into snow banks to make an angel. Pretty soon, we found some icicles which we brandished like swords as we galloped around in the snow. We took some time as well to scuff "HI!" in huge letters into a snowy field. Everyone probably thought we were crazy but we were having the time of our lives!

14.) go to the gym and chase the dragons!
At my school, there are stationary bicycles in the gym that have tv's hooked up to the bike. If you want, you can play a racing game on different courses and such and supposedly also chase dragons. I had played the racing game before but had never been able to find the dragon game, which, let's face it, sounds WAY cooler.

On Friday while I was at the gym, Emily found the dragon game and showed me how to play it. Basically, you just ride around this world until you find a coin. If it's a green coin, you have to catch a green dragon, blue/blue, red/red, silver/silver. The green dragons are the easiest to catch because they're not that far away and unlike the red and silver dragons, aren't on top of hills. The blue dragons are a bit tricky to catch because they like to hang out right next to water. I found out the hard way that if you go in the water, you get a pretty hefty point reduction.

It's a pretty fun game and I'll probably play it again today when I go back to the gym but to be honest, it's not quite as awesome as I had hoped. I was hoping that there would be chances to change worlds or get rewards etc for getting so many points.
