Improv

Hiii!!! I know, it's been forever since I blog posted. I'm going to try to do better about it; just blog about my day and about random things without trying to seem alternately funny or profound. Honestly, though, I just sort of crashed internally after my NBT experience. My summer since then has been a struggle to regain my footing, spiritually speaking. Even not spiritually speaking, my summer has been a bit of a fail. I had all of these plans for what I wanted to accomplish, and this marvelous little vision of the Tavi I would be at the end of the summer, and I haven't gotten anywhere. I made slight improvements in some places, but nothing near like what I had hoped. I do think, though, that although on the outside I haven't gotten any better, on the inside I've definitely made some developments as a person. Working with the kids, even though I love to whine about them, has been great. I've learned a lot from them and I've been provoked to thought even by the littlest things they do. I've picked up a few books to read and learned some new things and new mindsets. When I get back to school and classes, I have confidence that I'll be capable of some serious butt-whupping.

I'm a little distracted right now. My kids are napping and I have an episode of The Gates playing on Hulu. So, while I've been typing up there, I have all of this vampire vs. werewolf + succubi and witch drama pumping into my ears. I wonder if it's a small sign that I'm growing up that I like the adult storylines on The Gates better than the high school storylines. To be honest, even when I was in high school I was never very appreciative of its drama, but it all seems even more ridiculous to me now. Instead, I'm all up in here like, Duuuude, Claire cannot keep hunting with Christian behind Dylan's back, because hello, what about their kill-able human daughter Emily? Devon is so evil and yet, slightly sympathetic. I hope she gets her revenge but she better not mess with the vampire family that I have decided is my favorite. That Vanessa woman is a liar. Drama! Lol, this show is pretty fun. If it were all about vampires, I would be sorely displeased, but this is closer to being the bastard child of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Desperate Housewives than Vampire Diaries meets Twilight, and thank goodness. If I have to sit through any more insipid vampire romance, I'm going to decapitate someone. Most likely Robert Pattinson. Sparkly twit. I know, I know, he's doing a job. Like I care.

Recently, I've been watching a lot of movies. I love movies, not even gonna pretend otherwise. I love movies and I love previews, and I've spent more money this summer on going to movies than on anything else (clothes/food/whatever). And omgosh! Sorry, things on The Gates just got mad intense! Christian wanted to turn Claire but Dylan did and now Claire and Dylan are married but Christian is trying to blackmail Claire into being with him but Claire's all, listen...I love Dylan. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! OMGOSH!!! Oh no, HE DIDN'T!!! I'm not even going to tell you, because you should just go watch The Gates and then we can all talk about it back at Penn. Listen, I need to go devote my full attention to all this. I'll blog again tomorrow, or at least I'll try. Bye!
