The soundtrack to my life is fueled by sleep deprivation.

This post is lovingly ripped off of my freshman roommate's facebook profile (holla atcha, Mandy) and formatted to fit my musical taste.  


THE RULES:

  1. Imagine a movie is made from your life. Now: tell us the story through music, through the soundtrack of your life.
  2. Don't talk about Fight Club.


And action.

Oh, what up?

Contrary to popular belief, I am not dead. Nor am I incarcerated. Just lazy. And in the process of settling into my apartment. I love my apartment, and I love my roomies. I do not, however, love the construction and constant fleet of lawnmowers. Oh well, it will be over with time. Setting up this apartment, I've noticed common things that I always, ALWAYS incorporate into my life. Over the summer, I got severely obsessed with some killer things.


  1. Fedoras. Not, like, all the time, but I LOVE me some jaunty straw hats.
  2. Swamp People. Yes, it is in English. Yes, it requires subtitles. Magical television. (And I LOVE croc print. LOVE IT.)
  3. Jenna Marbles. YouTube her right now. I suggest you start with What Girls Do on the Internet. 
  4. Dubstep. All day, errrr day. Not really, that would be overwhelming.
  5. Whisker Wars. You all KNOW how much I love facial hair. I think I'm genetically hardwired to love it. Seriously. All of the men in my family have moustaches or beards. Even my purse has a moustache. It's a privileged life.
     6.  Cowboy movies. Clint Eastwood, Duke, ah, classic.
     7.  Tunisian Crochet. It is so great. It does, however, take a year and a half to finish and makes you      exaggerate severely.

Toss in some vodka sauce and that is my life in a nutshell. Sorry about my lack of blogging this summer. I know you all were dying to know what I was doing pause not.
