This seems to be everywhere. Luckily, I’m quite desperate for posting material.
And wow, huge props to Jenn for her badass web-surfing skills. I swear, we must’ve been working the posts at the exact same time. Moving on!

Four jobs I’ve had in my life

Four movies I can watch over and over

1. Phantom of the Opera – I can’t decide who I want more, Gerard or Emmy.
2. Romeo and Juliet – And I’ll continue to be obsessed until the next one comes out.
3. Remember the Titans – I’ve tried to get sick of this movie. But I can’t help my giddiness when Julius and Bertier exchange savage footballesque chants at summer camp.
4. Pirates of the Carribean – Kiera’s cleavage. Enough.

Four places I have lived

1. The south side of the city.
2. The north side of the city.

I really promised myself that I wouldn’t go a week without writing something. However, I’m severely lacking inspiration. I guess that’s what happens when you’re forced to commit your mind to endless lengths of textbook information. There’s not room for much else. That, and American Idol’s on.

Therefore, I will ask you a question, and ponder attentively over your answers. For a few seconds.

Do you think lifelong, happy marriages are still a possibility? What is causing such an unimaginable divorce rate?

This semester started in a frenzy. I accepted a position as a full-time high school lacrosse coach and will also be student teaching for the next couple of months. Very busy, but very exciting. All of that, in addition to being a full-time student, active sorority member, and lacrosse player, and my main thought is, “Yes! I’ll have so much to write about!”

For now, it’s back to messy rooms and constant homework. I woke up this morning for an 8:00am Shakespeare class and sprinted through hail. Hail! No, not happy little balls of snow which quickly evaporate upon landing, but evil chunks of ice which will not melt until they have burrowed in your hair and gouged out your eyes.

Side note: As long as the Steelers keep winning, I have no desire to complain. Also, read this post by Cici. You’ll gain some perspective.

Did you know that the reason your leg twitches at night is because your body is under the impression that you could be dieing and is attempting to shake you awake? (Sweet dreams.)

I’ll be full-time student again in one week, and I haven’t seen the sun in over two weeks. I’m not thrilled.

As much as I have squealed for my love of my new camera over the past week or so, I noticed that the pictures, taken inside in mediocre lighting, were turning out quite dark. At first I figured that one of the hojillion settings wasn’t set correctly, but after playing with the buttons and dials and tiny notches for over an hour, I decided to get off my stubborn butt and drive to Best Buy.

The second I walked in, my friendly neighborhood Best Buy employee took one look at my camera and said “I love that thing,” as if I drove there for the sole purpose of seeking praise. I told him what was going on, and how my friends’ $200 point-and-shoots were taking better night shots than my awesome little SLR. From there, we went on a mission.

We traveled far and wide to every corner of the store, each of us armed with our D50’s, snapping shots in every darkened corner we could reach. Cell phones. TV’s. Washer/Dryers. We were there. After comparing, the difference was unbelievable.

Turns out the quality of my new camera should have been 100 times better than the quality I’ve been raving over for the past week. And here I sit with my second Nikon D50. It’s capabilities are unspeakable.

The weekend in brief:
30th – Tour of Phipps. [Click for Album]
31st – New Years Eve underwear party. [Click for Album]
1st – Steelers destroy Lions. [Click for Album]
(If Pittsburgh was captured in liquid form and sold in a bottle, it would be manufactured at a football game.)
