Random Thoughts of the Day

I have come to realize why blogging is more of a necessity when you are in school versus out of school. Firstly, I think about things a lot more when I am in school. Not necessarily things that I should be or need to be thinking about, but I think more regardless. Something about being employed, I found I turned my brain off at the end of the day. Secondly, when you are not in school, you have no homework to do when you get home and thus no reason to procrastinate. My room is cleaner than it ever was when I was out of school, because I procrastinated from cleaning when I wasn't in school.

In other random news, there is a company out there that makes pendants out of your pet's DNA (or as I was thinking anyone's DNA)! I really want one. Although I would not get my pets DNA. I'd either get mine or someone special's. It comes with a chain that looks like a double helix. How cool is that?

For something completely different, I have been trying out mind mapping as a way as studying. I found an online mind mapping tool called MindMeister. It works pretty well for what it does. My only gripe would be that you can only create hierarchies from one node and cannot connect two different nodes (even if you connect the ideas in your head). It is not perfect, but makes mind mapping go so much faster.

My Twilight Saga obsession continues. I can't get enough of it! One of my favorite websites on the series is one that is a blog following the journey of a guy who decides to read the series just to see what all the fuss is about. He does a pretty good job of looking at the series from less of a fan girl perspective which is always good. I guess I could be considered a fan girl, but that is really quite an embarrassing thing to admit. My other favorite website, is one dedicated to older fans of the book like me. I've also started listening to a podcast about Twilight done by two college students in Florida. They are pretty funny to say the least. Now that everyone know how deep my obsession goes, no one will want to read the book. I never said go out and become as obsessed about this book as I am, but definitely check it out. I know sci-fi fantasy love stories are not everyones cup of tea, but honestly, just give it a try. I can't wait for the movie to come out, only two more months.

One final point, change your language on Facebook to pirate english for a laugh. It pretty much brightened my day. I couldn't stop laughing. Well in the words of pirate Facebook- time to abandon ship, mateys! Arrrrrr...

Mood: Procrastinatory (I thought this might be one of my made up words, but alas it exists.)
Song: Oh You Delicate Heart- Hawksley Workman (Pretty much the only artist I've been listening to)
