On a Lighter Note...

Lest it seem like all I EVER do is complain (since I really only use this space to vent), I felt compelled to write when I was in a non-ranting mood for a change.

Lightly Salted Kettle Chips: BEST. CHIP. EVER. Normally I am not the girl to go for the gourmet-ish variety of any food. For instance, I can't really tell the difference between Franzia wine (yes, the kind that comes in a box) and a fifty dollar bottle of wine. But Kettle Chips... MY GOD... I don't know if I will ever be able to eat a regular old potato chip again. I would love to meet the evil genius that created this delightful snack. As the package says: "simple, salt-kissed perfection." I think I could pretty much eat them morning, noon, and night. Every meal. I shit you not. These little suckers may be the cause of some serious weight gain for me if I'm not careful. I think they may be laced with crack or something. After this bag is gone, I will not buy another bag for... a week... heh.

Haircut: Finally got one! Just a trim, but my hair feels so much better. I love getting my hair cut. Although, I do not enjoy making awkward conversation with the hairdresser. We don't HAVE to talk. I am up for it if we gel well, but let's not force it. The dentist is worse of course. How DO they expect you to talk with all of those instruments in your mouth?...

PostSecret: Fabulous. I have also been reading the postsecret community message boards since they went up. I finally signed up for an account about a month ago, but I hardly ever post. I just lurk and read what everyone else says. Truth is, I am quite shy about things like that. I enjoy writing here because I like the POSSIBILITY that someone might read it, but I know that I am probably the only one who ever sees these posts. On the PostSecret community, people read and respond to what you say. It is wonderful that there is such an open and supportive place out there, but I feel like I am personally better off ranting somewhere where I don't feel like I am burdening anyone with my "problems." I feel like a lot of people on PSC need the support of others more than I do, and I wouldn't want to take attention from the posters who genuinely need help from the advice-giving members. Nonetheless, reading the stories of people on there does help me feel less alone in many of my fears, worries, and sadnesses. I like blogging here, because I just like putting all of my worries out there, somewhere in cyberspace, and hoping that someday somebody might read them and relate to them. This blog definitely helps stop me from overburdening my real life friends with my drama. I am very happy about that. I hate feeling annoying or needy. And I am sure that they have their own daily dramas to deal with. So in short, I love reading PSC and writing here in my isolated little blog.

A Nap: Would be lovely right now. But I don't have time for one. I have been home for an hour and haven't done any homework yet. Time to get on that...
