One Class Wonder

Sometimes you are in college, but you are only taking one class. This sounds like a blast right? It is! For the first week. Second week in and I am already going insane. The guys from "Property Wars" are my new best friends even though I hate them, they literally are the most annoying people on the planet... but I am weirdly obsessed with home renovation shows right now. I think it is because if I watch any romantic shows I will probably start crying into my Bumblebee from Transformers blanket and let the nasty cat that lives in the parking lot of my apartment complex come inside and comfort me while I drink copious amounts of berry flavored Propel. Okay, so I already do that last part, I really like Propel.  
I am trying to find a job, I promise, but I have very little experience in anything so no one wants to hire me. I am even starting to debate working the night shift at Jack in the Box or something. I need a job because when I get bored I end up online shopping... I bought a $70 sweater from Urban Outfitters the other day. Seen here:
I mean if you look at Pinterest for two seconds you will see sweaters like this all over, so I really wanted it so that means it is okay that I bought it... Right? Yes. I am sticking by that logic. IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A PRINCESS OKAY?!?!? DON'T JUDGE ME! Where is that cat I need him to come cuddle with me while I build a fort made of blankets and watch another episode of "Property Wars."

The Miserables

"I dreamed a dream in time gone by, and I sang everything that I said. I dreamed my life was a musical! But, I guess I'm grateful I live in the year 2000." (To the tune of "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Mis.) Okay, ya I know it's not 2000, it's 2013... WOOO party! I just needed to make it fit the song. So, as I have previously confessed in one of my posts, I enjoy singing a narration of what I do in my everyday life. It is no wonder that I love Les Mis, there are only about 3 spoken lines throughout the entire movie. (Yes, I know it was a book then a stage production first, but I am discussing the movie so just sush).
First things first: Anne Hathaway, whom I do not really care for except for her role in Princess Dairies, you won me over by chopping your hair off and actually looking damn good sans makeup and hair. Second: Marius sounds like a sexy Kermit the Frog. Beastiality :/ Third: Russel Crowe, while I loved him in the part of Javert and was pleasantly surprised by his singing ability, after obsessively listening to the soundtrack many a time I have found that he seriously sounds like he is stuck in an eternal yawn. Think about it. Fourth: Eponine's On My Own is my jam. Enough said. Finally: I frickin love Amanda Seyfried. Is that so wrong? I don't know why people don't like her, I think she is the bomb dot com. Maybe it has to do with her being in Mamma Mia and my first CD I ever bought by myself was ABBA for some bizarre reason, none the less. Anyone who openly admits that she is an avid taxidermy collector = my hero.
Those are my comments on the film. I had the pleasure of seeing this is theaters with my brother, Jordan, who took me to it as my Christmas present which was a treat because he is in the military so he's usually gone. I am hoping to go see it again with my sister and mom, but it is difficult because my sister, Jesse, just had her second child, Carl Fritz. He's just the cutest dilemma ever. Luckily my two best friends, Steph and Priya saw the movie, so we had fun deciding who from our high school drama productions would be who in the musical is we could magically make it happen. I would either be Eponine or Fantine. I would need a wig though. I ain't cutting this gold off my head ever. EVER.


P.S. ( I was going to make this video first, but some one beat me to it. While he may "sing better", I would have been hilarious.)
