supa bowl sunday

Today was the super bowl. Honestly, I wasn't that interested in who won or lost, surprise surprise. I was more in to the being around people and not being in my room and such. All in all it was a pretty good time with great food and such. My contribution was cheesecake cookie cups. Some of which are left over in my fridge if anyone is down for one or two. Got to say the talk that wasn't about the game was probably my favorite. R and I got this super awesome notion in our heads that after graduation it would be neat to run off to California for a year to try our hand at west coast living. I would love it, but I'm afraid of the family retaliation. Not all of them, just some. But I think, if I really wanted to, I could do it. At the very least I could do what my degree is good for and I do make a pretty good waitress. If only...one day...maybe....

Still fighting the whole introversion thing. It's really hard. I'd like to enjoy people's company all the time, but I can't. Like today, I feel like all day I've been around people. Granted, it's only been since one-ish that I've constantly been around someone, but that feels like a lot to me. And here it is now midnight and my body is all about sleeping, but I can't yet and will have to wait until at least one before that can happen. Maybe I should do some laundry...

In other breaking news, I've been slacking about putting pictures up on the facebook page, but I promise to get that done this week. I awesomely left my camera charger in Missouri and the one I have here is for a completely different battery type. Great planning no? Luckily, I know a person who can hook me up with the right charger. Totally stoked. Speaking of stoked, my bff texted me this week and we're going to get to go to the Renaissance Festival while I visit her over spring break! I haven't been to one in forever and this time a little bit of dressing up maybe in order. I'm really excited to get to go out there. Warmth. Sun. Heat. Lovely.

Week until Valentine's day. Yay. My v-day gift is muffins from my grandma in Kansas. I'm excited for those cause I don't get them very often. Almost better than chocolate. Maybe I'll get myself some flowers too. Sounds pretty

I'd like to dance and sing and act and preform. (i really like those things)

Horse part two!

Part two of the horse saga....
I decided to go ahead and give it all four legs tonight and here's it's process...

Yeah third leg made!!

The elusive three legged horse of macu

all four legs! now to attach...

Attached! But no tail...hmm...

We got a tail folks! YEAH!

Check out that spiffy tail. Oh yeah

and finally, the slightly emo pose for the facebook picture.

I am so happy to have it completely finished! Lemme know what you think :)

The Making of a Horse

The other day I thought that I would make a horse. Not just any horse mind you, but a MACU mustang horse. So here is the making of the horse...well most of it.

The head. At one point I thought it'd be funny to put some red felt under it...no there isn't a picture of that. It was too Godfather...

Woo! Most of the body done! Yeah! Got some eyes...and some legs..and everything is mostly attached!

This is what it looks like right now. The mane took forever to get done and I kinda got bored of making legs. I promise it won't be leg and tail-less for much longer.

Isn't that face just adorable??

On Monday he'll take up residence in the MACU student life office. I think I may have to make another one to actually sell because I love this guy a little too much. Might give him up for a million dollars....but that's a big might. He may even make an appearance at the basketball game tomorrow... :)

intro/extro

Introversion:
the directing of interest inwards towards one's own thoughts and feelings rather than towards the external world

I understand introversion. Seeing as I'm an introvert it isn't a stretch of the imagination, really. I do love being around people and all but sometimes I get really overwhelmed by people. The amount, how often they are seen, etc. Sometimes it gets to be too much for me and it is really hard for me to tell that person or persons how I am feeling about their being around. So, I turn it inside and keep tit o myself. I don't want to upset someone with telling them that they need to leave or not visit. And the times that I have told them, I've been told that I am rude. I don't mean to come off that way, but it is hard to explain to people how I can't write a paper with people that aren't my roommate in the room. I can't do homework or study either because I get really frustrated. I can normally get by on a normal basis, but if I'm around people too long or visa versa, I literally shut down. Can't work, can't write, can't craft. And I can't say anything.

Extroversion:

the directing of one's interest outwards

I'd like to be an extrovert. I'd love to not have stupid simple things bother me. I'd like to not get overwhelmed by people and their habits. I would like to be able to do homework with people around. But I'm not made like that. God didn't make me that way. And sometimes I am grateful, but most other times I am not. I'm frustrated by it and my inability to be a social butterfly. Hopefully one day I'll either come to terms with it or learn to be more extroverted and gain some balls to say when I've had enough.
but that's not today.

excited

It's official. I know have a pseudo 'store' front. Really it's just the student life area of my campus, but it's a step up. And most of the money goes to student life funds....but it's a step up! I'm starting to become legit! I'm still not a fan of putting stuff on etsy...which several people have suggested. Mostly it's because people have to wade through everyone else's stuff to find mine and there is not guarantee that someone will see what I make and like it enough to buy it. Plus, there's a bunch of fees on it. Maybe one day, when I have more followers and the fb page is getting more orders. I'd really like to see this take off more.

This week seems to have started off super busy. It's weird because it really isn't different than any other week. Might be the change in plans. That usually throws me off for a while. I'm one of those people that tolerates changes rather than embracing them. Granted I day dream all the time about making crazy changes, but I'd never really go for any of them. Much too risky. Like I would love to pack up everything and just move out to California. Hook up with a acting firm and become famous. Or something close. I'd like to have a chance at it. Or go and do set work. I love doing technical theater, but that isn't in the works anymore either it looks like. Maybe one day...

Totally can't wait for spring break right now. My awesome Bff got me a ticket to go and see her this year and we're going to roadtrip and hang out and everything. I haven't seen her in a year and I'm so ready for some time with her and laughing and having an adventure. I also get to meet her new dog and boyfriend. I miss her a ton and....basically I just can't wait. I also have to still send her the presents I made her! Hopefully I'll remember to do that before the end of the week!

Back to the 'store front', if you ever decide to swing by my school (or go here) you should totally check them out in the student life office. And check back frequently for new items!

more me!

There's been this new thing going around the blogs about bloggers sharing a bit more about themselves so the readers know the personality a little bit more. If you want to know where this came from, check out Elizabeth's blog Delightfully Tacky. She's this super cool crafty chick with some pretty rad ideas. Also, her site has a winnebago...how cool is that?!

So here goes my know more about me section!

I love the smell of coffee, but can't stand the taste.

Even a drop of it will turn me off of the drink.

Sleep is the most glorious thing ever. Naps are second best.
I do wish I didn't sleep so much because it's like most of the day
is wasted.

I'm currently watching a horror movie with my roommate and friend.
We're terrified.

My dog, cat and horses I completely adore.

The above picture is one of my favorites because it was taken on a

unseasonably warm day and I was hanging out in a sweet
coffee shop.
