I almost forgot about this thing. ha ha

There hasn't been a lot going on. School has been...well school.

But I must say that public speaking class is stressing me out. I am supposed to give a speech either tomorrow or Monday and that really freaks me out.

I am really bad at talking in front of people, I babble and say all the wrong things. Every time it ends up as a disaster.

At least my speech won't be the worst. The first guy who got up to speak used a Star Wars quote. Which I am the biggest Star Wars fan ever, but the quote this guy used was the most random one ever. He stuttered and rambled, which made me feel a little better.

In other news, I am a brunette again, well at least I think so.

I went from black to dark brown and there's not a whole lot of noticeable difference. ha ha

At least the upkeep is minimal.

I think that's about it. Not much has been happening and I hope it stays that way.

This is the eve of a milestone in American history.
One I am not all that proud to be a part of. It's not the fact that the 44th president is black, it's the fact that he stands for everything I dislike.
Americans are more concerned with saving the whales and protecting cats than feeding the many hungry and homeless people that walk the streets every day.
Millions of children are robbed of precious life because their mothers decided they did not want a child.
Each year America falls deeper and deeper into a hole that she cannot get out of.
I am truly afraid that this country that I love so dearly is slowly coming to an end.

Yet, even if I like it or not by this time tomorrow I will have a new President.
However, I will respect him because he is my President, not because I like him.


On the other note, everything on the home front is fine.
There has actually been no drama for the past few days (shocking, I know!)

I have a speech on Wednesday but the upside is I have all of tomorrow and Wednesday morning to make up what I am going to say. ha ha.
Thank God for long weekends :)



"I know one day, all our scars will disappear, like the stars at dawn
and all of our pain, will fade away when morning comes
and on that day when we look backwards we will see, that everything is changed
and all of our trials, will be as milestones on the way
and as long as we live, every scar is a bridge to someone's broken heart
and there's no greater love, than that one shed his blood for his friends
on that day all of the scales will swing to set all the wrongs to right
all our tears, and all of our fears will take to flight
but until then all of our scars will still remain, but we've learned that if we'll
open the wounds and share them then soon they start to heal
we must see that every scar is a bridge, and as long as we live
we must open up these wounds
when some one stands in your shoes and will shed his own blood
there's no greater love. we must open up our wounds" - Thrice

This blog is supposed to be about my addictions, however many of them there are.

So I figured I'd confess one now.

I am addicted to Criminal Minds.

This is my all-time favorite show. I am fascinated by the profilers and the psychotic folks, who are somtimes a little too creepy.

And it never fails, I have to watch it every wednesday no matter where I am.

Spencer Reid( last on on the left) is my fictional boyfriend. Haha, no really he is :P

His nerdy-ness and sometimes great hair appeals to my inner nerd.

I would say that he is the Geek god of prime-time television. Haha.

Anyways...lol. It's been a while since I last blogged.

But not a whole lot has changed. School is crazy already.

I have tons of homework and reading to do.

But as usual, I'll probably put it off until the last minute.

I could use a holiday (Monday!) and it's just the beginning of the semester! :)

So, today was the first day of my last semester at GCCC.

Needless to say I was scared, anxious, nervous, and a whole bunch of other emotions and a monster wasn't helping the situation at all. Haha.

But once I got to the campus and into my first class, public speaking of all things, I felt a little better even though I did not know anyone. Then someone I actually knew came in and sat beside me. Talk about a relief! The teacher was nice. Her name was Mrs. Jackson, and yes she sang the song. :P We played two truths and a lie. I lied that I was an only child. Which I kinda am...but anyway. I'm dealthy afraid of talking in front of people but hopefully this class will help me get over that fear.

(Funny thing, I've already conquered some fears this year. Maybe this is the year to break out of my shell!)

Then it was on to my second class, statistics, which acutually is spelled D-E-A-T-H. No really! Haha. I'm not at all good with math so I must admit I was unnerved at the thought of crunching numbers for a grade. Last time that happened I pulled out a C by the skin of my teeth. But this teacher actually made it semi-fun and understandable. Plus he only gives passing grades. How cool is that?

I am glad to be moving on after this semseter.

This town has a lot of corruption and secrets, plus a lot of memories that I do not care to remember. Everytime I think about stuff it makes me sick, literally.

This place is such a part of me but there are still parts that I'd like to let go of permanetly.

Let's just hope this semester is a good one and a precursor to things to come. :)

Life is funny sometimes.
There are times when you're on top of the world. Nothing is going wrong, drama is far away, and you feel good. Then, you're thrown a curve ball. Everything that was going great suddenly takes a downturn.

The past few days have been so crazy I feel like I'm going insane.
One of my college classes was dropped due to low enrollment. So I had to scramble and find another class that would fit in my schedule. I don't know how many times I dropped classes and enrolled in new ones only to drop them again. I finally ended up with a schedule that was reasonable but it took hours. And then it turns out that I missed one of the classes because I didn't register until that night.

I'm already stressed and the semester has just begun.
Maybe it's a sign of things to come.
Well, hopefully not.

Stressed is not a good way to start off the new year.

But there is nothing a good day of cleaning and getting organized can't fix. :)

So, this is my first post. It feels kinda werid since I've never done this before. Haha.


I do want to explain the title of this blog since it is somewhat....strange.

Humans are creatures of habit.
We like to do the same things over and over again and we find comfort in the familiar.
For some of us, our habits become addictions. Things that we go to when we feel bored or sad. Or just things that remind of us better times and we go to them to remember or even forget.
A person can be addicted to music, the computer, drugs, food, or even (dare I say it) a religion.

I am an addict of many things. There are objects that I go to for comfort as well as objects that allow me to forget.
Some are destructive, others productive.
My 'addictions' make up my life.
They have helped shaped me into who I am and who I have yet to become.
