Boredom is my worst enemy.

vollmusSo apparently my dad is on first-name basis with the new Secretary of Defense. I'd say that's pretty sweet.
If ABI comes back, that would be the second most incredible thing that has ever happened to my family. (The first would of course be ABI's conception.) I've been wearing the jacket for years. It would be nice for it to actually mean something again.
It takes a lot of willpower to resist the temptation to start every paragraph with "So." For some reason it's the first phrasing that comes to mind. Rather annoying, to tell the truth.
Le monde est stone, je pense. (Mauranne ftw!) My sister and I talk about her fiancé, Brett, all the time, and it really makes a girl miss her own man. I would say, "Je t'oublierai," but I won't, and I wouldn't really want to anyway. (Sorry, Isabelle Boulay.)
I'm actually glad that Lexi and I are going shopping tomorrow. My mom, sister and I just went today, but really, I'm an experience kind of girl. The experience doesn't even have to be a very good one. Waiting in line for hours for a midnight showing of a movie, going shopping at five on the morning after Thanksgiving, driving to Frisco Freeze at eleven or midnight or one, running from Target to Target when the Christmas clearance goes fifty, seventy-five, ninety—I love it. The experience makes me smile. I'm near bursting from happiness and excitement just thinking about doing all those things.
Perhaps that's the key to enjoying things I don't currently enjoy. Theoretically, if I make myself think of things that I wouldn't normally jump at the chance to do as new and exciting experiences, I should be able to trick myself into appreciating them. That ridiculous rap musical Michael made me see? Definitely an experience. I'd certainly never seen anything like it before. If I'd come up with this plan before, it's quite possible I wouldn't have spent the whole time reciting Latin declensions in my head when I wasn't mocking the movie. This is a very interesting theory—one that I will most certainly attempt to put into practice.
