Still Alive

Still alive but don't have much time. I leave early in the morning tomorrow for England. Didn't get to visit the Eiffel Tower. I went to Versailles today. I wish I had some time to chat with peeps from home. But internet time is expensive. I had an interview today with the Family Equality Council. I'll find out by April whether it's accepted.

Woo.

Cali is Sexy

Hey everyone! Long time no blog. (I don't think I'm funny either.)

I am in Paris right now and have very little access to the internet. Teh sucks.

Paris is jaunty. Cali is teh awesome. The hostel is pretty sweet. Apparently, however, Cali LIED when she said it would just be one big bed for the four of us. There are bunk beds. I totes called the bottom. And Cali did too. She's quite the copycat. The sexy copycat. Who planned the entire trip.

If you haven't figured it out yet, she's standing right behind me.

But seriously, though I am exhausted, I'm enjoying my vacay quite a bit. Time to rest and then eat some Mexican food because we're in Paris.

Love, Mandi

Cali is smelly

I think the title of this post explains it all.

Utter Crap

Today has been utter crap. I got back a pretty bad grade in one of my classes (and compared to what everyone else got, it's practically an A, which means it's the teacher, not the class) and it put me in a bad mood and then we had to watch the news in French which is really difficult to understand because the newscasters speak so much faster than the average person so I don't even know WHY we freaking watch it, and I'm tired and I feel like I'm annoying people and it's really frustrating to think that because then it's like, well how do I stop? I try not to interrupt people, but sometimes I do before I even realize it, and then I never feel like I sound sincere when I apologize, even if I am actually sorry, which might or might not show through, which means I might or might not know if I'm annoying people/coming across as some insincere bitch.

Ugh. I hate Wednesdays. And this one is turning out to be utter crap.

Cat - 1

Biscott scratched up Romain's face. Good. He doesn't play with her correctly. Or nicely.

After dinner tonight, we had another galette des rois. It was delicious. It was the northern variety, with lots of delicious butter and it was flakey and good.

So I've been thinking.

A dangerous pastime, I know.

(Points to whoever gets the reference.)

I'm incredibly bored today. I just don't have much to do, but I've been thinking a lot. I guess a couple of things I can't really mention here have happened recently and it's led me to ponder over the nature of things, to guess the way people will react to given situations. And one thing I've re-concluded is my definite nature of monogamy, and the other is that sometimes I really don't know what to say.

It's not a question of what I owe to whom, because I know who has priority in my life over any other given person or situation. (I hate how that sounds, by the way, like I'm building up some situation where if two people were hanging off a cliff, I know who I'd save.) It's nothing like that, but it's a question of what can I do for someone, some people, in a certain situation that would best benefit them. And really, I don't know what exactly is the best choice because I don't know how other people will react. Not everyone appreciates knowing everything or being helped. Not all situations would be made the better for a person knowing something.

This isn't so serious as I'm making it out to be. (Have I typed this before? I'm getting some mad déja vu.) Maybe I'm just itching for some drama to make my day a little more exciting. Maybe it's also that I feel bad about some of the things I kinda just blurt out.

Anyway, this post just got a little emo. I might delete it.

Nutella, Nutella, Nutella.

I think I might post more videos, though they might be less interesting. Here's the link to my first one:
