one of these days . . .

I should be studying. Obviously, though, I'm not. So at least we've got that clear. 

     I'm considering deleting all of my facebook friends who have couples pictures up. Okay, it's only a fleeting feeling, but I guess sometimes I think I'd like one of those of my own. And then other times, I hate the very thought of being in a college relationship. Today I went from thinking that (Gee, I like Counting Crows; they're on my launchcast player right now, and I really like this song "You Can't Count On Me." I've never heard it before.) to reflecting that I don't want to be a 22-year-old bride or something really even close like my mom was. 

     I was watching "Samantha Who?" while I was (not) studying, and I'm not gonna lie, I got a little resentful at her mom's character. She kept pushing Samantha toward all these terrible guys and making Sam feel like a failure for still being single, although Samantha knew that these guys weren't really right for her (one was just creepy). I wanted to watch this with my mom and say, "That's how you make me feel." (The song "Angels & Girlfriends" by Five for Fighting is also fantastic. I have a pretty sweet launchcast station! I mean that with no humility haha. What is a pineapple parking lot? Hmm. I feel madly like creating a great, unique mix again -- it's been too long.) I kept wondering, Do all moms push men off on their daughters like that? Eeks. ("Six Days on the Road" by Sawyer Brown --yessss!!!!!!! I literally feel like getting up and dancing around my apartment in my bathrobe. Maybe mix '80s hair band flailing moves with line dancing? It could be a whole new craze. Hey, "Barbie Girl" became a craze. Don't underestimate the prevailing power of tackiness.) Anyway. I identify with Dana, the awkward, slightly obsessive, homebody friend on "Samantha Who?" that seems like she'll never make it in a normal relationship.
