I was in fact the first person there, and later realized that it was 'generally' for alumni, since it is out homecoming weekend...So I was the only young person in there for a while. After the crowed filtered in, there were about two other kids around my age...with their parents there. I was the only person who went alone. Not that that bothered me. - So the lecture began, and the man giving the talk was so excited about the Beatles it was fun. I learned about the evolution of my favorite band of all time, and how they came up with specific sounds, or sound progressions. I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I know music in and out, but I don know the Beatles, and their songs. I can name just about 100+ of the Beatles' songs by the first few chords...[Go ahead, judge but I love them].
After this lecture, I was dead tired [yes even with two cups of coffee pulsing through my system] so I slowly made my way back to my room in the 52 degrees of Pennsylvania's fall.
[See that transition...I'm so slick]
So it's been getting colder here, as it should. As we move onto the middle of October, the weather plummets, we are in central PA, that's what happens. I don't mind it, in fact I love sweatshirt and jeans weather. It's my favorite. I love the slight chill, the rain [I LOVE the rain], and the fact that I don't have to wear skanky clothes just to fit in...not that I ever did. I love that we are all bundled up, because this is the time of the year everyone breaks out the uggs, and the hoodies. The only fashion is comfort. Which is me, 100% of the time, and now I look cool.
The best part of the colder weather, means I can stay inside and not look like a hermit. I can curl up with a novel, and be normal...[not in my dorm but to the rest of the world-yes]. And my current novel is 'The Casual Vacancy' by THE J.K.Rowling. Yes, I am reading it because it's her, she is a genius, and created an entire world where I yearned to go my entire childhood...and today as well.
[Haters gon hate] But to those of you who have been wanting to read it, do it. I haven't gotten too far, but so far so good. It is very different from Harry Potter, and no I'm not saying that cause there is no magic school or wizards, it is a much more mature book, and it is much more of a 'long' read. The way she words things is beautiful, but you really have to pay attention. And no it's not a raunchy adult book like 'Grey'*. Also another awesome book, is 'Perks of being a wallflower' by Stephen Chbosky. Yes, I did read it because the movie is coming out. But I have also wanted to read it for a while now, and never had the chance to. I am a big believer in 'book first then movie', and a good friend of mine said it was wonderful, so I bought it off of her word. And she was right, quick read, but powerful. Parts hit right where it hurts, and its a great 'coming of age' story, for a kid that most people would look right past. Look into it.
And finally Chucks. I can't remember if I have mentioned it or not, but I have recently acquired a beautiful pair of red, high top, Chuck Taylor's. And I am absolutely in.love. with them. They give me such a false air of swagger. It's amazing. I am wearing them for the rest of my life...and that's a fact. I will probably get married in them...underneath my stunning green senior prom dress** which I am also in love with. Won't that be a scene? Green dress with Red chucks.- but that's just me.
Allons-y

* I can not vouch for the fact that 'The Casual Vacancy' is not raunchy in any way since I am only just getting started.
**here is a picture of my dress...and the chucks are pretty well known...just use your imagination. p.s. that's MY Mici. <3
We are SEXY BEASTS.
