Involving gifs, apologies, and lameness.

MY PEOPLE!

HI!

How are you all?! I've been a horrible blogger.... can I hear an AMEN?

I am sorry.

I have had an attack of the busies, which consequently has resulted in a case of the lazies, and a lack of the energies.

In other words, I've have been a couch potato, who sits there and eats her troubles away.

(LIES. Eating does not make the troubles go away. It temporarily relieves stress, but leaves you feeling sad and fat.)

But anyway. Yeah. I need to figure out how to work blogging into this new adult life that I'm taking a really long time to adjust to.

On an upside, I've got drawings to share on this coming Picture Saturday, my uncle is coming out to visit this weekend, and I've been able to hang out at the car repair shop! (That's really fun for me, because I used to babysit for our mechanic, and he's like my adopted uncle, and he's just fun to be around.)

So now, we can have an update on my life. (HA! What life?!)

1.) Because I now am in possession of money, I have come to the conclusion that I have a slight fetish with Starbucks and other coffee shops. Seriously, they're the bomb.

2.) I also have a harder time not buying stuff... especially when I'm in the art section of Michaels or something. I drool over drawing books, and Prisma Color Pencils. I caress the sketch books, and stroke kneaded eraser packages. CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW AMAZING CRAFT STORES SMELL!? They smell like happiness and creativity.

3.) I watched God's Not Dead recently.

Hee. Yeah, okay.... I kind of loved it a lot.
I mean, sure... I wish they had focused more on the two main characters having their discussions. As it was I felt like they forced too many stories into the same movie and it would have been more epic if we had dealt with The Antagonistic Atheist Professor VS. The Cute Christian Student, and less of the All The People Suddenly Converting.

But I really loved the:

               "God is good."

                        "All the time."

                                     "And all the time?"

                                               "God is Good."

thing that two of the characters kept saying back and forth to each other.

 

4.) God's Not Dead really put me in the mood to watch Fireproof again.

Men, take heed.

5.) I may or may not have bought myself the first series of Doctor Who. Because I am a geek, and it was like $15 dollars at Walmart.

note my Doctor Who shirt that I was actually wearing
  when I bought the series. Can we say NERD? 

6.) I came this close to buying the first season of Supernatural at said Walmart. But it was slightly out of my price range. I'm hinting for Christmas. Hint. Hint.

7.) It's starting to feel like Autumn here. It makes me very sad. Very sad indeed, that summer is almost over. I love going barefoot and not being freezing. (My winter clothes are really cute though, so I am looking forward to lugging those out of the closet.)

8.) I made this at work.

9.) Guess who gets to wash buckets....

10.) We watched the first season of Crossing Lines. 

And oh... It's one of my favorite shows. It's about a team of people who take on crimes that are committed in more than one country, and.... hot diggety dawg, it's good! I'll need to review what I've seen of it soon. (season two is either airing or just aired, and we can't find it anywhere.)

But yeah... Tommy? Tommy is aaawwesome.

And Irish. 

Heeeeeeeeeee. He makes me.... very happy.

Seriously, the guy is adorable. 

darn my feminine hormones!  

 

Ehem.

Basically I just wanted to pop in and say hallo, and remind you all that I'm not dead. (I'm not dead, in case you were wondering.)

I need to post more often.

I plan too!

I love you all.

Cheers!

Lately.....

Lately.... My lovely cousin came up to visit over the weekend again! She was very brave to do so, because my whole family is still pretty sick. (I'm almost well, but my voice is all wonky and I have a cough that sounds worse than it is.)

We had quite a load of fun in spite of the great illness afflicting us.

Sammi came over too, and we partied. (Which, ultimately means we talked and had coffee and cookies until we could see sounds.)

I apologize for the cruddy picture quality. They were all taken on my iPod. :)

We went out for Starbucks and donuts, and then hung out at the lake for a while. It was really pretty there.... and I LIVE here, so I get to rub in how beautiful the scenery is. Allow me a cruel chuckle. Muwahahahaha.

Terrible selfie!

And then we might have gone home and watched The Incredibles.

I love that movie.

We consumed lots of food and enjoyed many conversations about life and movies.

L-R Sammi and Angela

We also watched Elf. First time seeing it for me, and now I feel the greatest of urges to go around saying, "Fransisco. Fransiiiiisco. Fransisco." Over and over again.

Lately.... We tried to watch Sherlock last night. It didn't work. There were tears involved. And consolation tea and shortbread.

Lately... I plowed through Arrow when I was sick. Arrow is really good. (A couple of dirty scenes, but it's hard to find any show these days that doesn't have that.) The characters grew on me a lot. I really ended up liking Oliver. And Tommy. And Diggle. And Felicity. (Mostly it makes me want to work out again. I mean seriously. His workout is... insane. Who knew this was possible?)

Oliver

Tommy!

Oliver has a cool outfit.

And the fight scenes are really kind of beautiful.

Lately... I really need to start drawing again, because I haven't in a while, and I feel a considerable need. Especially since I just flipped through The Hobbit: Official Movie Guide and saw the concept art and sketches. And now I'm like, "Oh. I have to practice."

And this is yet another pointless post, brought to you by your favorite blogger! (haha)

For some reason I'm having a really hard time thinking up a clever way to end this.

So I'm just going to smile, because smiling's my favorite.

And bid you all, a very fond farewell.
