I have such hair envy lately.

Actually, to be quite honest, I've been having a lot of everything envy these days.

 It's summertime, when girls are supposed to be pretty and glittery,

but I feel completely opposite of that. My legs are gross and my hair is gross and my skin is nasty, 

and more and more and more.

I'm getting nervous about going to a girl's school because everyone will be so pretty,

and I'm definitely one to compare myself to other people.

Or maybe I just need a haircut and to put on a cute outfit. 

This whole big deal graduation thing is bringing out all the worst qualities in me. I'm not looking forward to wearing a pizza box on my head. But I am looking forward to hiding a chopstick in my graduation robe and pretending to be Harry Potter. 

Most def.

BY THE WAY:

WOAH Hello all you new people! I've had ten followers for a year, and now all of a sudden,

ten more of you show up! 

I don't know how you found me,

or why you stayed,

but I'm glad to meet you all anyway!! 

I promise I'll start posting more,

and I'll also stop telling you all my sob stories.

I've decided to stop being not-fun, and start posting like I used to.

but I've decided that really is no excuse for not wasting my time on the computer sharing pictures and new songs I find/love with ten (TEN! WAHOO! Welcome Brittany!) like-minded internet addicts.

Ohh, love.

So here. I'm back, and I missed you.











(this photo makes me want to grow my hair back out really bad)




I'm just really diggin the whole pink dress fairy tale thing right now...

And I really want to do this in my dorm room
providing my room mate is as awesome or non-existent as I've imagined her to be...


(thank you kate-maggie, and I love your blog by the way,
but I do disagree with your choice in coffee distributors- bleck!)



I really miss Chris today.
I wish we could go for a drive.

love, rudi

Dear Craig,

1) Stephens was amazing, and I want to go there really bad,
but no, no word from them yet.
However, I did get a call from my admissions counselor Xander
(who is awesome, btw)
who said the President of Stephens burst into the admissions office one day to show off a small, circular, handmade thank you note she got from some mysterious student.
Sha-bow!

2) Craig, stop hasslin' me about that card. It'll be in the mail tomorrow. I'm putting on the finishing touches.
Love on these in the meantime.













3) So glad you asked.


love, rudi

So,
tonight I felt like there was actually a little bit of culture in my town.
Me and the family went to a local steakhouse,
and around the corner in the back room a bluegrass band was playing,
and the mandolin-er was really good.
But the cool thing,
was that these four men were playing so great,
but there was no audience,
so it seemed that they were only playing for themselves.


I'll talk to you all later,
but for now I must work on solving the romantic mystery of Catherine and Heathcliff,
and somewhere along the way,
more than likely,
I'll be too distracted thinking of my own love story to pay attention to theirs.

Either way,
good night.

love, rudi

Here are the reasons this week was a good week:

1) It started out with Chrissy! That boy makes me laugh more than anyone in the planet,
and on certain rainy days
all you really need is giggles.
2) It's so fall-icious out. The trees are a really great yellowred this year. Maybe it's something with the sudden dip in the weather?
Nonetheless, me and mom have scheduled a leaf walk with Sadie. I can't wait to see our collection!
3) We just got a houseload of insulation for our drafty house! That means a warm winter, and that means a happy Rudi.
4)Halloween decorations in the coffeehouse!
5) Yeah, just in general: Halloween is coming! I want to carve up punkuns, drink Hot Apple Cider, and eat at least one and a half punkun pies a week.
Plus do this to a cat:
6) Today my family went to the animal shelter where we volunteered yesterday and decided to
sponsor an animal!!
And that means that no longer how long she'll have to wait for the perfect family to find her,
she'll be safe from the terrible quarantine room (you can guess what goes on there).
AND whatever family falls in love with her (much like we did, though we have NO room for a puppy dog) can take her home for free!
My stepdad Ben fell in love with a beautiful Queensland Heeler, and we named her Adrian.
Isn't she loverly?


She was so sweet and mild tempered, and cuddled with us in the play room. And she gave baby Sadie kisses and didn't freak out when Sadie tried to ride her.
That's a good dog.
And I can't tell you how great I feel.

7) Had an unusually healthy paycheck this week :)

8) Mel met with me last night to work on my monologue for GSA college day!
I'm not half as nervous as I was this time yesterday. She's so good at what she does. I've got a great feeling about the whole thing....

9) I just realized- and this may be a bad thing, but I'm pretty sure it's good, that I would eagerly spend $30 on an amazing birthday present for my cousin that I would love to own,
yet I would never spend that much money on myself.
If there wasn't the slightest risk of that certain cousin looking at my blog,
I would share with you all what I had in mind.
Buuuuuttt........

10) I slept so much.
So, so much.
And I love love love it.
So much.

11) Every single meal I've eaten this week
(besides the rare leftover of Mom's cooking or a bowl of cereal)
has been Olive Garden's delightful Gnocchi Soup
And I am currently eating the last bowl of the
gallon and a half
of it I bought.

Hope your week was as awesome as mine!!

love, rudi
