Spunk Ransom, RPatz, etc.

Whelp... I did it! It has been accomplished!

What me and Beka thought was going to be a fun sleep over turned into mass chaos. We drove past the mall at 9:30 just to see if there was any crazies sleeping over, and we were SHOCKED to see nearly 100 people already waiting in line. Mind you, no one is supposed to be lining up until 5AM. We then made one of the best decisions we've ever made. We were pulling at all nighter at the mall.

We ran home, grabbed a couple of things (laughed at how we had really become professionals at this camping out thing... thank you jonas brothers!), and drove over to the mall. The line gained another hundred people, but we were in good shape. It would only figure that the weather was nasty cold rain, and wind. We brought little chairs, umbrellas, and blankets and created a fort type facility. The time passed surprisingly quickly! We even made some new friends. Girls that had traveled all the way from Michigan to meet Mr. Pattinson!

Long story short, people accumulated quickly and Hot Topic decided it was best to just get the whole process over with early. We got our wristbands, sat in the mall for a good while, made some new friends from Dupaul, bought our T-shirts, and were home and sleeping by 4 AM. That day was spent sleeping, doing a couple things for homework, and actually degrossifying myself for the actual meet and greet.

Robert Pattinson.
Sweet
Gentleman
English
Incredible Hair
Highly attractive
Tall
Drinks a lot of beverages
Smile that could melt any heart.
Pretty much sums up my two minutes I had meeting him. :)

We stayed for the question and answer session (aka screamfest) and then he was off to his next city. We surprisingly were asked to be in the background for a newscast. obviously celebrities now.

We went to the midnight showing of Twilight as well! IT WAS PHENOMENAL! I've already seen it twice, and plan on a couple more times as well! Make sure if you haven't seen it yet, you go out and do that! You won't be disappointed!

Thanksgiving is Thursday and I'm oh so excited! Aside from the dangerously appetizing food, Thanksgiving is that time of the year that signifies that the end of the semester is near! And that is something to be grateful for!
Check out the pictures from our crazy night!

"PUT THE CAMERA DOWN"

It seems as though the more and more things that I have to do, the less and less I have the motivation to do them. Homework will always and forever be circular. Meaning, there is no end. Once you complete something, you have something else to start on. Lovely I know.

I feel like I haven't had a good blogging session in forever! So I got this job as a receptionist at a State Farm Insurance Company near my house. I was a bit nervous at first, but after awhile, I can actually say, that I enjoy it! Which is weird. Isn't it like taboo to like your job?

In other exciting news, I voted in my first election! The fact that I had a voice, in our countries future is quite exciting to me! Although, my candidate didn't win, I still got to watch history take place. I'm excited to see how this all plays out.

I'm now into the third book of the Twilight series. I still hold to claims before. They are awesome! Speaking of Twilight. Tonight, Beka is sleeping over, and in the morning, a whole big caravan of us is going over to our local mall to try to get the oppurtunity to meet Robert Pattinson. (Edward Cullen, or for you HP fans, Cedric Diggory) It's tricky though you see. It always is. They are only letting the first 500 people meet him. But first, you must come to the store, buy a $30 t-shirt, and they give you a wristband ensuring your chance to meet him. The last time we all did something like this, was when we met the Jonas Brothers. Everytime we meet someone, it always seems to be like 23 degrees outside, and after waiting outside for what seems like an eternity they let you in to meet them for like 3 seconds. If you even try to pull out your camera they take a chainsaw to your hand. haha But honestly, I just think its so silly. I'm more than willing to wait in line an ungodly amount of time and give into the rip off of buying the T-shirt, but at least give us some sort of freedom while we're in there!

oh man. (steps down off of soap box)

hopefully the next time I report back, I'll have some saucy pictures of Robert to share. haha.

I also made my first big purchase last week. And by big, I mean ginormous! I am now the proud owner of a NordicTrak Treadmill. haha I'm sorry if you were expecting "a brand new car!!" I can't afford that quite yet. haha. I'm so extremely happy with it so far. Being healthy has been something thats been a struggle and a burden at times. This summer I was running around like crazy, so it became a bit easier. But being home, not much movement is required. So this treadmill is perfect. The whole family uses it, and we're saving mucho money by being able to cancel our gym memberships. It's worked out quite nicely!

As the holidays approach, I'm becoming more and more excited. Thanksgiving is right around the corner! And then onto Christmas! I love being able to turn on the TV anytime during the month before, and see holiday movies and shows. Or popping in my Charlie Brown Christmas Soundtrack. "Merry Christmas Charlie Brownnnnnn" (they always seem to be playing this movie in Target when I'm in there) It's perfect. Mix in some Christmas lights, and a cup of Hot Chocolate and it's even better! I definatly look forward to break!

Hope all is well.
