Premiere: Bones

**Spoilers**

Bones premiered last night (I was so excited!)

We ended last season with Bones having to go into hiding

I liked the first episode of this season, starting off showing Bones with her baby as a blonde

Everything gets wrapped up quickly

Blah, blah, blah

Anyway, I thought that it was good. It was just kind of odd to me that everything got wrapped up really quickly

It was a big deal that she went into hiding and all of a sudden it's just all "Three Months Later"

It's kind of like they just changed their minds and wrapped it all up in the first episode

Needless to say, it looks like Bones will return back to the same story lines of them solving crime, which is fine

Just kind of odd to me

Still a good premiere and can't wait for the rest of the season

Also, so glad they had her dye her hair back

Bones as a blonde just doesn't work haha

1) When you're feeling down, what do you do to pick yourself up?

I watch an episode of Friends or a Disney movie.

Then I ask Brennen for a BIG hug!

2)  If you had to live in a different time period which would you prefer?

Can I chose the future? 

I'm really interested to see how technology develops and how the world changes. 

3)  What is the most creative Halloween costume you've ever worn?

I've always wanted to be something super creative but in the end, I procrastinate to the point where it's something easy like hippie, indian, or gypsy. Last year though, I was Robin from Batman and Robin. 

See:

4)  Five weird things about you we wouldn't know without being told?

This is a hard one. I feel like someone could figure everything out through observation. I'll just say those.

-I eat my red and green skittles last

-I watch a lot of reruns (Friends, Big Bang Theory, Gilmore Girls, What I Like About You, Sex and the City...)

-I know every single line to every single episode of Friends

-I eat vanilla icecream when I don't feel well...even though I'm lactose intolerant

-I eat miracle whip on all my burgers and I make special sauce for everything else with miracle whip and ketchup

5)  What would you tell your 16-year-old self?

Don't listen to other people. Be the wise person you know you are and really think about your decisions before you make them.

Today, I am such a sicky

I feel okay I guess...except for the fact that I can't breathe.

I have a test today AND today is my longest day of the week.

Not feeling good. Not happy.

Anyway, I'm watching Live with Kelly and Michael from my DEATHBED! 

I was wondering what you guys think about the choice for Michael as the new cohost...

Any thoughts?

Mine are: I think they're good together but I don't think he brings an awful lot to the table. Neil Patrick Harris was a lot better with her (obviously he can't do it) but I was hoping the person who did get the job was just as good. I like Michael but as a permanent cohost, I'm not completely won over yet.

Now, time for some lavender tea and staying in bed until the absolute last minute

Ugh

Hope you're having a better Tuesday then me!

I Have Something Scandalous To Say:

I don't like Mr. Big. 

I don't like that Carrie ended up with him.

I think he's an asshole who is only manipulative, chauvinistic, and arrogant. 

He never treated her right. 

And I think it's shitty that she ended up with him.

Exhibit A: Season 2/Ep 9

Don't you worry, I'll come up with more examples because trust me, there are many

Roommate Troubles? Read on!

One of the great and sometimes not so great things about college is that you live with a roommate. It's nice because you can live with your friends and you split the bills with someone else. It's not so nice because you live with your friends. But there are ways to work around issues, negotiate, and navigate your way to a happy living situation.

I only have one roommate. We live in an apartment. (I'll write a separate post for dorm living) I've lived with more roommates but find that I enjoy having just one much more. Here are a couple of systems and "rules" we've come up with. Also, some tips for choosing a good roommate (even if you haven't met them).

1. Quiet Hours

My roommate is a music major. Sometimes she wants to practice in her room. I'm a film major. Sometimes I watch movie in my room. She would be constantly asking me to turn the tv down. It became a problem for me because it would be in the afternoon and I had it on the level I needed it on to be able to hear it. She one time even asked me and my boyfriend to keep it down because we were laughing too loud. Ridiculous. Thankfully, we came up with quiet hours. 10am-11pm. Really simple and we haven't had a problem yet.

2. Report Back

This is something that our college (University of Colorado at Boulder) recommended to everyone from the time we moved here. Tell your roommate when you're leaving, where you're going, and when you should be back. That way, if you're not and don't text or call, your roommate knows something may be wrong and to try to locate you. **This is really important for girls.

3. Learn To Split Bills

My roommate wanted to break down individual days for things like internet but that's ridiculous. We were using the same amount of electricity and internet and cable (the only bills we pay) so it only makes sense to split in half.

4. Buy Separate Groceries

Some people buy their groceries together or "share" groceries. I've had three different roommates and it never worked out with any of them. Someone always thinks someone is taking more than they are or lines are crossed and someone eats an entire box of power bars while someone is out of town *cough*. So just buy separate groceries. If you buy similar things, write your names on them. It could work out to share groceries just not in my experience.

5. Be Courteous

This includes cleaning up after yourself, always keep common areas clean, and take turns unloading the dishwasher and taking out the trash. Also, if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend make sure that it's okay with them that they spend the night or something. Make sure that it's okay if you're drinking with your friends in the place, that they know or have been asked.

6. Be Direct, Be Honest

This one is more directed at girls. Don't avoid each other and text other friends about each other behind their backs. And definitely don't talk about them with other people either on the phone or in person in your room. I haven't personally had this situation but know people who have and it just turns in to a blowout. Remember: You have signed a lease with this person. You are stuck with them until said lease is over. So be KIND!

7. Don't Go In Each Other's Rooms Without Permission

Another common courtesy. One of my roommates used to steal clothes from me and then wear them in front of me claiming she bought them herself and that our wardrobes are just similar. Still trying to get clothes back from that biotch.

8. Try To See Each Other at Lease Once a Day

It's nice to catch up on each others days with one another. You get to see how they are and it's a good time to bring things up like "hey, when you put the vacuum away, can you wrap up the cord". Or "what are you doing this weekend? Wanna see a movie or something?"

9. More Bonding Time

Try to watch a movie or bake something together or if you're guys, drink a beer or watch the game together. It's just nice to have the connection.

10. Help Out When You Can

My roommate is out of state and doesn't have a car so before I go to the grocery store, I ask her if she needs to go because it bites to have to drag those heavy bags back to our apartment.

So there are some of my tips! Just be kind, courteous, and patient and you should be fine :) Happy living!

Pizza Rolls and Sex and the City Reruns

During the summer, I like to have lazy days. They don't exist during the school year so during the summer, I feel no guilt whatsoever in indulging in these fabulously relaxing days. I've browsed the internet and eaten pizza rolls. I've watched literally hours of Sex and the City and I've texted Brennen.

Best of all, I've stayed in my t-shirt, boy shorts, and glasses without a trace of makeup on my face. My apartment could be getting cleaned right now but I'm being rather self indulgent and I'm good with that.
