Packing Up

So I get to move into my new apartment tomorrow morning, which, again is really exciting and really nerve-racking, and I've barely packed anything.  I swear, I am the queen of procrastination.  So at this moment I should really be packing and making the most of my time, but I guess my mind just kind of figured, well, hey, you've been procrastinating this long a few more minutes won't kill me.  We'll see if those will be famous last words.  While I'm still really excited to be moving, I've also been discovering how expensive it is!  If I'd known, I'd probably have delayed moving for another month or two so I could just save up as much as possible.  But I've been managing and I'm thankful for my parents who are doing all they can to help me.

Cleaning Up Facebook

More and more I've been realizing, as I scroll through my newsfeed on Facebook, how sexual the most innocent sounding pages have gotten.  I'll be going through and suddenly there's a post of a half naked woman from a Disney quote page that I liked in the past.  Some of the posts are just stupid, some are truly offensive, some are marginally funny, but they're all inappropriate.  For a while those kinds of posts weren't all that common.  I'd see them occasionally, but they were fairly easy to ignore and the good posts were far more frequent.  At this point though, I feel like that's all I see.

As they did get more frequent, I stopped just ignoring them and started removing the post from my feed.  I didn't feel like I really needed to be constantly looking at that kind of content.  More recently though I realized that in a way, by continuing to like the page, I'm supporting them in posting that kind of content and that's not something I really want to be doing.  So at this point, I'm clearing out the junk completely.  All the crap is just completely overshadowing anything good that is posted.  So now if I see an inappropriate post from a page, and it doesn't matter what page it is, I'm unliking that page.  It might be a bit extreme, but now I can browse through my newsfeed and not just see inappropriate post after inappropriate post.  And that makes me feel better because I don't feel like I'm supporting something I don't like anymore.  Now before I like a page, I look through its contents and make sure there's very little there that's going to bug me.  In with the good, out with the bad.

Moving On, Moving Out

The closer and closer it gets to May and the more I know that I need to be getting stuff done and getting things together, I feel like more and more I'm just putting stuff off, that I'm in denial.  Maybe its just because I'm scared.  Its so exciting to talk about getting your own apartment, to be moving out for the first time, but when it actually comes down to it, its also frightening.  To suddenly have all this responsibility thrust upon you, to suddenly have to consider so many more things, to realize that mom and dad won't be just down the hall to go talk to, to realize that you're going to be on your own in this unfamiliar place.

31 Days: Five

March 5:  Favorite Movies You Never Get Sick Of Watching

Yay for an easy question and for posting on the correct day!  This will probably be one of my shortest posts during this whole thing.  So here goes! 

The Lord of the Rings

31 Days: Three and Four

March 3:  What Makes You Happy?

So I'm only four days in and I'm already doubling up a second time.  I promise I shall get better at this!  Hopefully...

So this is another question that's kind of hard to narrow down because there are a large number of things that make me happy.  But I will do my best to not make this too lengthy.

31 Days: One and Two

Hello, so I'm really bad at knowing what to blog which means there are many times that I go days or even weeks at a time without blogging simply because I don't know what the heck to write.  But yesterday a friend of mine posted a 31 Days series on her blog and then posted the list in case anyone else wanted to join her.  Since I've never done a series I thought it might be fun to give it a go.  I can't exactly promise that I'll be able to do everyday, obviously I already missed day 1, but I do promise that I'll never let myself get behind by more than one day.  So here goes nothing!

Raindrops on Roses

So I have not blogged in a while, for which I am rather annoyed with myself, but I have also been getting used to a totally new schedule.  As I've mentioned before I think I now work at a call center which I've discovered that I really enjoy.  A little over a week ago, my trainer went around asking for volunteers to work on graveyard for at least the rest of the week.  Since I'd asked a couple weeks earlier to be put on graveyard, I immediately volunteered, as did one my friends.  I finally found out today, no, sorry, last night, that the six of us who volunteered to go on graveyard, are now on permanent graveyard which was pretty darned fantastic.  While I'm really enjoying graveyard, its also been a huge change.  I've basically been working and sleeping and that's it.  My body's still trying to adjust to the change, I think.

We Are Just That Awesome

So I don't really have anything profound to say today, not that I usually do, but in any case I thought it would be kind of fun to make a random list of the fun and maybe not so fun things that happened today.  I sometimes have a tendency to look at just the bad things and not the good that happen in a day, so there are times when I'll make a list of both and usually the list of good things is longer than the list of bad things, so here's for today!

A Single Rose

So I think I mentioned in my post with the Valentine's Day questionnaire that there are times when I really struggle with Valentine's Day because I am single and have been single for so long.  I've certainly had times where I've felt like Valentine's Day is a bit of a slap in the face for those who are single.  But this year I told myself I wouldn't have any of those thoughts and I would make it just a good day.

Dancing With God

 Since I've started this blog, I've had a number of people ask me where I got the title and why I chose it.  The simple answer is that one of the things I absolutely love to do is dance, particularly ballroom dance, and, well, God is perfect and you always wish for the perfect dance partner, so why not dance with God?  That's the short and simple answer that's easy to give.  The long answer, the deeper reason, has always been harder for me to describe.  I don't know why, but it always has been which frustrates me, because the reason I chose that title is not simply for the reason I gave, though obviously that's part of it.  But that's just the surface, the rest is much deeper.
