i need a little push...

Mood: contemplative...

My room is a mess. Maybe it's a metaphor for my mind.  There's a lot of crap up there in my noggin right now and it's getting a little frustrating.  I just need to, like, expel everything and start over.  Loans, car, school, messy room... it's just so awful.

I'm still trudging through Eat, Pray, Love.  I really want to finish it before the movie comes out on Friday.  I got a lot of reading done in the car ride to and from Massachusetts this weekend.  I'm in the last part of the book.  So far, I enjoyed the Italy portion best; but I felt like India was so long.  It kind of felt too personal, as she was trying to describe her religious experiences.  It felt almost invasive.  But I'm almost done and I think I like this part.  I like it more than the second part that's for sure...

Sorry, I started writing this thinking I had a lot to say; but I don't think that what I had in mind is worth it. 

Okay here's something funny/interesting: When we went to pick up the dog from the vet, there was a cage with 5 kittens in the lobby.  One was an orange tabby and the others were black.  They were all named after different pastas, except the orange one was named "Meatball".  There were Ravioli, Penne, Gnocci, and Elbows.  I walked over to the cage and they all woke up from their kitty snoozes and got really excited to see someone paying attention to them.  It was adorable.  I loved looking at them.  I wanted one, badly.  But to be honest, I really only like kittens.  Old cats are cranky, not frisky and cute.  Plus, Mimi would NOT be okay with another animal in this house.  Oh well, someday I'll have a cute dog named "Fondue" and s/he will be awesome.

Also seen at the vet was Kevin Rodriguez!  What's funny is that I was just talking about him when my parents and I were talking about when I got my braces off and had to wear a retainer.  Kevin said he couldn't understand me at play rehearsal so I stopped wearing my retainer... thanks Kevin! :)  kidding, dude, i'm totally over it now- my teeth are fine!  Thanks for taking care of my doggie this weekend (sorry she snapped at you!)
