christmas before thanksgiving?

Thankful:
Peppermint Mochas from Starbucks.

:) I gave in and had my first Christmas themed drink this morning. *happiness*
I am so excited for Christmas. I'm going to start working on my homemade presents next week. I'm praying I don't have loads of homework so I have time to really get into it. I've been building my Christmas collection of songs I can play. I have about 50 I think. Just getting started!

Thankful for Cussing.

Today I am thankful for: Professor Tierney.

He's pretty much an awesome professor. He's strict enough to strike fear in the hearts of his students, but relaxed enough so we can joke with him and love his classes. He's a good guy. Today we were in Studio when he asked us if we wanted a lunch break. One cocky student said, "Hell yes!" Since we are a christian campus and swearing is pretty crass, Professor Tierney turned around, frowned and replied, "Well now, you don't have to cuss, damn it."
I laughed so hard. :)

Thank the Lord for the Queen's A-hole.

Today's Thankful: The Queen's A-hole.
Almost every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, John and Caleb stand behind the head and try to spit in the Queens A-hole after class.

Hahah! Confused? Our art building's name is "Queen"; that isn't the name of the building, but it is the building's name. It isn't "Queen Building" or "Queen Art Center". Mostly the faculty just calls it the Sewell Art Rooms- which is putting it nicely since these Sewell Art Rooms are all in the basement of the oldest guys dorm hall. But we as a collective student body named it "Queen". Right outside the glass doors that lead down into the leaky low ceilinged classrooms is the word "ART" in metal letters. These metal letters are raised from the side of the building and stick out a little from the brick wall, and so consequently the "A" and "R" have holes in the middle of them. You know, the kind of holes that birds will sometimes build nests in on Grocery Store signs and things.
A little further from the word "ART" that sits on the side of Queen, on the other side of the glass doors someone long ago spray painted a little head on the sidewalk. It's behind the trashcan a bit. Naturally this environment is rich in artistic inspiration and one of our inspired artistic activities is spitting in the Queen's A-hole. One must stand behind the painted head and aim your saliva in hopes that it's trajectile stream successfully lands in the "A" in the word "ART" on the side of Sewell's Art Rooms--which happen to be the basement of the guy's dorm.
Yes. It's a weird thankful...but it is one. And it's fun to type up a blog with the title being Thank the Lord for the Queen's A-hole. :)

Welcome to my life.

My Thankful for Today: Miss Megan in the Student Center. She always has something nice to say to me when I go through the check out at mealtimes. She calls me "her Candy girl". I always feel so blessed whenever I see her.
I have passions. Every real human has them. Most of the time we hide them because they reflect the truest part of ourselves. We dig a little hole and put our passions in the little hole and then we loosely cover it with dirt so only the corners stick out above the ground. Have you ever met a person and they just seemed a little weird because they loved something too hard? They always talked about one thing, and they thought about it and made conversation about it, and LOVED it? Yeah, that's what happens when we don't hide our passions. People think you're weird.
Anyway. I was thinking about that recently. I think it's a sad thing...even if I do it myself sometimes. Cover up the things I love, I mean.
Wellz. That's my quickie blog post. I have so much homework to do. I have so much homework to make up. I have so much SLEEP to make up. Oh. My "Thankfuls"...I almost forgot. For the rest of November, or at least until Thanksgiving I'm posting a "thankful" each day. It gets me in the holiday mood and I like sharing all sorts of lovely things for you to be thankful about with me.

What I write that is not Blogged.
