Lifetime movies have a point.. Men really DO ruin everything.

I am giving my self a pat on the back. I just got done with the most painful facebook convo of my career. The boy I am mad about (mad meaning really really like) was telling me that he likes one of my best friends. He knew I liked him (can't trust anyone these days..) and I know that he doesn't like me. But what really takes the cake is that he has been using me to get closer to my friend.

The deed is done. I have hung my hat and am letting it sit and collect dust.

Happy New Year, indeed.

Did you know that chocolate really can fix all of your problems?

Especially when it's from the chocolate nazi. No, hes not really a Nazi you silly uneducated people. He is the owner of Northern Chocolate Company in Milwaukee. what i'm trying to get at is that the dude makes so wickedly good chocolate. not only is it like eating happiness but its also like.. well ok, basically that.  The reason we use the term Nazi to describe him is because the guy is a freak. He has all these crazy rules that you have to follow  if you want to go to his shop. A few are:

* no children

* no pets

* no garlic breath

* you may not wear fur of any kind

I don't remember them all because at the time I was a child, and was not allowed to enter the store. Plus he's only open like twice a week for like 4 hours. Weird, right? Right.

Have you noticed how guys never ask girls on dates anymore?

It's always like, "hey so we going out or what?" I know if a cute guy asked my to a movie and dinner I would totally go! For all you guys reading this (probably like 2 but that's alright..) don't be shy! Please! Girls like romance<3

I mine as well continue this little rant to say I hate the couples that NEVER do anything. Like the only way you can tell if they're dating or not is if they sit next to each other at lunch. I don't know why but it bugs me..
**
Speaking of guys, I'm about ready to hang up my hat and call it a day. I'm tired of waiting for my dreams (and nightly 11:11 wishes) to become reality, that's all. Plus it feels as if guys are all I ever talk about, which is annoying.
**
I'm in a writing mood, can you tell?
**
I love making fun of people who just stare at chat on facebook, wishing someone would talk to them. Oh.. whoops.. wait a second.. that's me.
**
Some people just bug me. I know that's horrible to say, but have you ever just gottten annoyed as soon as someone has walked into the room?
**
It's 11:48. I'm tired. Pleasant dreams, loveys.

Its crunch time.

Like I may of mentioned before, finals are coming up shortly. Actually, about less then two weeks.  Which means it's time I crack out the books and start studying, because I want to do well[:  I guess I'll start with French.. then probably Biology.. and English.. but what I'm really nervous for is Health. I've herd that you can get a 100% on every test, quiz, whatever, and you will still fail it. Yikes!

2011 is gonna be different.

I can just tell. Theres no saying if this differnt will be good or bad.. but alas.. different.
Speaking if 2011 I think it's time I made a list of my new year's resolutions:
1. Go to Sadie's with this guy.. (stupid I know, but hey, I can dream.)
2. Rock finals.
3. Get a dog.  (I really want one.. hehe)
4. Learn gutair.
5. Make this the year (I don't know what it means either.. but alot of people say it!)

-nom nom nom-

So I just got home from the best meal I have ever had in my entire life. I ate at the Bluestem.
It's owned by my uncle's cousin. My meal consisted of 5 courses:
1. Poached pear salad with bleu cheese and pomegranate seeds.
2. Crab pasta
3. Cod, mussle, shrimp, and potatoes with an amazing tomato sauce
4. Short rib/beef tenderloin, horseradish potatoes, and carrots.
but the best part of the meal was dessert. We started off with blue cheese and cranberies. Now, I know what your think ing, but actually it was really good! The best one of them all was this banana mousse and passion fruit soda. It was so tart that one sip of it and my mouth hurt. A good hurt though. After was the chocolate portion of the meal. A chocolate log, Devil's food cake and this icecream that tasted like alcohol. To finish of dinnder they brought out a tower with pastries on it. It has almond chocolate, buttersotch cookies and a lime gelitin. The best one was the lime one. It was even more tart then the passion fruit soda! All in all it was a fantastic night. What's on the agenda for tomorrow? Thats right. Basketball.

-drum roll please-

I. am. so. excited.

Why, you ask? Well, I will tell you.

On December 29th I, Athena Palmer, am attending my first KU basketball ever. 

For those of you that know me I'm sure you understand my excitement. I even got a new sweatshirt for the occasion(: Oh! Tomorrow I am going to go to a fancy-shmany restaurant! It's called the Blue Stem. Now, I know what your thinking. Who would want to pay 40 dollars for a cup of soup? But there's just something about going to really chic overpriced restaurants..
xo, athena
