1. Valerie & Zach's beautiful wedding last night (2.5 hours away from me)
2. working three jobs (now down to one for the next two days, then none)
3. attempting to share my "free time" between loved ones that I must say farewell to
4. my going away party Saturday night
5. a Top Secret evening with a few of my favorite people
6. too little sleep, hence laziness & crankiness
7. packing/cleaning/organizing in anticipation of my departure for the UK on Thursday
8. anxiety (not the blogging kind, though) about my passport/visa and how they are not in my possession... and a related feeling of impending doom about said passport/visa and my upcoming flight to London
9. lack of creative feelings because of a combination of numbers 1 through 8
10. inability to accept the changes occurring and about to occur in my life
I hope this post made up for my recent lack of blognicity.

People We Can All Do Without
Today I read a list by Melanie of You Are My Fave. The list is actually on The Voyage of V, as she was a guest blogger today. I think it is fantastic, so check it out here.
I'd like to add a few to the list of people we can all do without:
* people who take up the entire sidewalk even though you are coming toward them
* people who explain jokes, etc. that you understood well enough on your own
* people who repeat themselves
* people whose parents call into the college bookstore for them (at age eighteen!) two weeks early to make sure all of their books are available NEW and request said books to be placed on hold so their son/daughter won't have to get books that may have a note or highlight here and there
* those people's parents
*people who walk up to the Textbook Information desk requesting info about a book, without the name or author of the book, or name of the class, or basically anything helpful at all
* people who stop in the middle of the road without putting on their turn signal and get upset with you for not reading their mind and stopping to let them turn
Okay, I think this is going a bit far, so I'm going to end it here. I hope you enjoyed, and go read Melanie's post!

Reasons I Would Run
I would run if I were/was:
1. being mugged.
2. late to class/work/a meeting.
3. close to missing the bus.
4. really, really hungry and about to miss a homecooked meal.
5. being chased by an apparition.
I would not run to work out. Many people enjoy running, but I am not one of those people. I wish I was, because I feel like they enjoy it so much, but it hurts my hip. And it's boring. I'd rather work out on the elliptical trainer, boxercise, kick box, zumba, dance, or do pilates. Or, to be honest, sit on the couch ;.)

My Top Seven TV Shows & When to Watch Them
1. Will & Grace (Watch while home sick--it will cheer you up.)
2. Veronica Mars (Watch with a friend, several episodes at a time. If fro-yo is involved, even better.)
3. House (Watch late at night, especially if you can't sleep.)
4. Prison Break (Have a marathon on a rainy weekend. You can't watch just one.)
5. Gilmore Girls (Watch when you're not feeling sociable.)
6. The Office [US version] (Watch with a group of friends or when you feel like procrastinating.)
7. Firefly (Watch any time, but watch the episodes sparingly and savor them because there's only one season plus a movie.)
