Youth in Revolt

I'm currently reading Youth in Revolt, and it is a LONG book. It is 498 pages long, and while I would never complain about the length of a book if it was a fascinating read, it's just sort of wearing on me. I will finish it (I hope) but I am truly being exhausted of each of the characters and their behavior. Everyone in that book is extremely selfish and I'm sure has never bothered to think about anyone else, regarding family, friend, lovers or the rest of the world and could all do with a good down to earth smack across the face.

That being said, it is entertaining. In a sort of, teenage boy obsessed with girls and sex and is willing to (truly) do anything for them; one girl in particular named Sheeni, who is devastatingly beautiful and plows through them as though they were snow.

So, in the sense that it is a diary of young Nick Twisp, obsessed with girls and sex it is a thoroughly entertaining book. However, if you decide that 498 pages is too much time to devote to such a subject I suggest watching the movie (which I hear is hilarious and I myself have no yet watched but is currently in my queue at the library).

health and beauty

As you can plainly see I just added a new "page" to my blog entitled "Health and Beauty". Now, I wanted another venue to post about these topics but it looks like I can not post more than one thing on this new page at a time. Bummer, (come on blogger, this would be the perfect solution to people starting and abandoning so many blogs). So I don't know what to do. When I have something new (and related to these subjects) to post should I just post them in my regular blog or should I start a new blog? Mostly I am leaning to just keep everything in one place, my life is not exciting or interesting enough to have a blog devoted to health and beauty (or my poor attempts to achieve those) and then my silly pictures of boyf and the possibly cute pictures of nieces and nephews. But, I do want a way to sort of separate them, or at least have a place that I (and you, all you readers out there) can go to for just those things. hmmm....I'm so unsure right now.
Please offer your suggestions.

now for the pictures

So here they are, and yes they are silly and I don't expect anyone to appreciate them as much as we do, but oh well.

A long time ago we had taken a pic of him on his bed with the blanket covering his legs and it looked like he just had little stumps for legs. We thought it was hilarious (we would) and so here it is for you all to see.

as I mentioned before boyf has very odd facial hair. He can grow a little in the mustache area and then a few stray hairs on his chin. He hardly has to shave and sometimes will let it go a little too long (if you can see what I mean). Anyway, this was taken after probably 3 weeks without shaving? and mostly I don't mind, except the chin hairs look a tad silly. His hair is pretty thick and course so when he has his mustache hairs in I like to "pet" them (I am obsessed with animals (mostly dogs, cats, bunnies) whiskers and always like to pet and pinch those parts of their cheeks) and when I do this he will often say, "I'm not a cat!" and that's when he knows it's time to shave.

this is him biting me while I'm reading. Sometimes when we're both reading our magazines or books he takes little breaks and pats my arm or leg or bites me, just to let me know he's thinking about me.

Now you know how truly juvenile we can be at times. But sometimes you need a little silliness, right?

boyf pics

I have lots of pictures of boyf. doing silly things on my iphone. I always mean to post them, but I would probably be the only one to find them amusing. However, I still plan on posting them. some of them include extra long facial hair (and he doesn't really grow facial hair that well so it's silly) and even one of him biting my hand. stay tuned.....

school

if any of you have asked me about school before I'll be the first to shoot it down; I hate school! I hate paying for it, I hate lugging around books, I hate getting up early when I could be sleeping in or watching tv or reading something fun instead of getting up to go to school. I especially hate it since it's winter time (no one should be forced out of doors for anything, unless they choose to, during winter).

However, I think this semester will prove to be interesting. And probably when you ask if I'm taking any fun classes I'll say no, but in actuality they are pretty interesting (if I HAVE to be taking classes that is). My evolution class is fairly complex (it's only 1050, but he's not really watering anything down from his upper division class), but it's so interesting and while I've never been a self proclaimed creationist I really enjoy seeing the hard evidence for evolution. I also get to have his book (that is in the process of being published) for free. It's really interesting and easy to follow. Just in case any of you are interested in evolution.

My other anthro class is one of those "history from (whatever time) to (whatever time)" but it's turned out to be more of an intro to archaeology. When people find out that I'm studying Anthropology they often ask me if I want to be an archaeologist and it's truly never sounded that fun. Lots of technical stuff, tiny details, which I can not handle and do not interest me. But, this class is sort of opening my eye. We had an assignment that I was so, absolutely not looking forward to but upon completing it and re-reading it I realized that I killed the assignment! I'd be surprised if the professor didn't read mine aloud as an example to the class (not really, but that's how much I rocked it!). I don't think I'll ever be digging in the ground for bones someday, but I'm glad that this class no longer seems like a waste of time for me.

Maybe now I'll stop skipping class?
