A compilation of emails sent to Ryan on Friday

Subject: Random thoughts about country music while driving through Georgia that I have to share with Ryan because he's one of my only friends who listens to country

1. American Honey is my new favorite song, especially for driving at night in the country. It makes me feel wistful. And maybe some yearning.

2. I want to marry a man like the one who sings I'm a Little More Country Than That. He seems like a good man who would do the 3 P's: profess, protect, provide. And I'm old fashioned like that. Shh, don't tell my feminist friends.

3. Listening to country in Georgia helps me understand why brainwashing is so easy in those futuristic, dystopian novels. I totally want to be a redneck woman from the sticks. Maybe if I lived here long enough, I'd believe that Obama is the next Hitler, and Sarah Palin could save our country.

4. Dierks Bentley can lay me down anytime he wants.

5. My life is a Keith Urban song- I had a job and I lost it, and I
just drove through the prettiest country from Georgia to Tennessee.

6. I really really really don't like Johnny Cash, no matter how hard
I try. Does this mean I'll never be a real country girl?

It depends what your definition of "country girl" is! Johnny Cash is different. I don't like every thing of his and have to be in the mood to listen to it. Rich on teh other hand has his entire album collection! I agree with alot of your points though...(don't tell Rich about #4:)

Your feminist friends already know about you. But we still like you. :-P

Why I Love Bust Magazine (and you should, too)

Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust . In this issue, I read about: Fat women on reality shows A new version of roller derby called Derby Lite A global O that will be occurring on December 21-22 Recipes for finger foods to serve at holiday parties How to make your own yarn Asheville, NC (now I want to move there even more...) Amy Poehler's views on feminism Divorce ranches in Nevada from the 1930's through the 1960's (it used to be really hard to get a divorce, and Nevada had laws that made it super easy) Homemade Christmas gift ideas A guide to "handling some of life's major milestones- marriage, childbirth, and death- with a DIY frame of mind" The monthly "One-handed read" column And of course, there are the fashion and beauty sections. Also, book, movie, and music revie

I got a little out of control...

I started my end of the year celebration a day early with margaritas at Lalo's. Unfortunately, since I don't drink very often, they affected me pretty quickly. I knocked my fork onto the sidewalk. Nancy (with her 80's hair) pretended not to know me. Nina gave me this look. Good times, good times. 40 more minutes of school, and then I am FREE!!!!!

Fall!

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m excited for fall.  I LOVE fall.  Things I’m looking forward to: Sweaters and hoodies Cinnamon candles  Leaves crunching under your feet Carving pumpkins and toasting the seeds (that I will give as gifts because I don’t actually like them) Going to the apple orchard with my mom… apple donuts and apple ciders slushees… Scary movies Watching my Charlie Brown DVDs Starting school!  I swear, September always flies by in an adrenaline-filled haze… The smell of burning leaves Football!!! Making apple pie (that will most likely be given as a gift because I’ll be dieting) Fall crafts (I think this year I want to attempt a wreath) Hot apple cider My one and only complaint about fall is that it means winter is coming…
