Borrowed from Trac:
If I were a month, I'd be June...no school and sunny. If I were a day of the week, I'd be Saturday because you still have a day left to do everything else...If I were a color, I'd be blue...because, I'm vain and I look good in it. If I were an animal I'd be a turtle, because I'd be able to hide my head if needed. If I were a movie, I'd be Garden State, because waking up to feeling life is most important. If I were a class, I'd be Art, Law and Ethics, thought provoking and relevant. If I were a shoe, I'd be indoor soccer shoes, or my "Blowme" boots. If I were an ice cream flavor, I'd be mint chocolate chip. If I were a place, I'd be Okoboji. If I were an element, I'd be iron..because I can remember the symbol for it. If I were a perfume, I'd be Halo by Victoria's Secret, because it smells good on me. If I were a state, I'd be one I haven't visited yet...unfair to judge what state I'd be, since i haven't been to all yet. If I were a country, again same problem. If I were an instrument, are we talking like musical or torture or something else? I'd be a french horn then..If I were a season, I'd be fall...If I were a body part, I'd be a mouth. If I were a flavor, I'd be cinnimon and sugar a mixture...If I were an alcoholic drink, I'd be an alabama slammer...If I were a shape, I'd be a rhombus! If I were a number, I'd be 27 If I were a president, I'd be a damn good one and still a woman. If I were a beauty product, I'd be flavored lipgloss. If I were a book, I'd be Me Talk Pretty One Day. If I were a letter of the alphabet, I'd be an ampersand, but that's not really a letter...If I were a word, I'd be the word word. If I were a store, I'd be Target. If I were a song, I'd be anything by Guster. If I were an item of clothing, I'd be a oversized comfy sweatshirt. If I were a clothing line, um, no idea here...fashion? If I were a facial feature, I'd be a smile. If I were an emotion, I'd be love. If I were a sound, I'd be laughter. If I were a scent, I'd be lilac. If I were a car, I'd be a Civic. If I were a fruit, I'd be a blueberry. If I were a planet, I'd be Earth. If I were a feeling, I'd be calm. If I were a bone, I'd be a collarbone (cause I've broken mine) If I were a flower, I'd be a dandilion, not really a flower, but alot of fun to pick up. If I were jewelry, I'd be my necklace. If I were a show, I'd be Everwood. If I were you, I'd be thanking god this post is over.

First, congratulations go out to the happy couples that were recently married. Both those that I witnessed in person, and those I've heard about through the SLIS grapevine ;) may you all attain the happiness and dreams that come from sharing your lives with another!
Second, this week was just a crazy and strange one in my book. I must amend the earlier post through this supplemental addition (oh ya, librarian terms). Other highlights included: trying Lennies for the first time, and actually drinking a beer other than Killians. The GnR cover band at Axis. Japanese curry and omelettes. My knee finally feeling slightly less out of whack. Comic book nerdness at the Lilly. And lastly, kudos to the Chi-town Sox on the victory tonight. Myself, not really a baseball fan in the past, being a semi-converted "jump-on-the-bandwagon" type now. having been to one CR minor league game last summer (thanks jon and kik) I understood the 7th inning stretch. Now, thanks to another avid baseball fan, I know terminology like "knuckle ball" and "RBI." If this new found knowledge wins me a Trivial Pursuit game in the future, so much the better!

What a strange and wild week has passed before me. There were some major highs, and some major lows. Highlights definately included cutting off most of my hair then going out with some friends who didn't even recognize me, Jaime's wedding, Iowa FB's win, a lovely wine party hosted by a good friend. yay for visits from Iowa friends to B-town as well :)
The downsides? well, we'll see what happens with those. ... hope all is well with everyone else...and I'm out.

The worst week in my life so far at SLIS this semester. I HATE when i let other people down!!!!! I must learn to just get over it I guess. pathfinder is done...it's done. that's what counts. I need to get my ass into school gear more though...going home to iowa this weekend...like the stream of consciencousness?...it's jaimes wedding...taking a Chi-town folk...will party much with friends at home...destress...
okay, im done with that. I"m totally over it, as trac would say.
grr. arrrggg. hope IA is worth it. I need to let out some of this tension, so anyone that reads this blog and is in IC this weekend, FAC will be happening ;) and the bars after that.
