Outerspace

Fun/Embarrassing fact about Abby, Interwebz: I went to Space Camp when I was a child. Yes. I was just like that nerdy kid in the commercials--I got to fly a simulator rocket. It was epic. I also got to go on the anti-gravity thing that spins you around. Not so epic--kindof makes you feel ill...

I was quite the geek. Not to brag or anything...

Regardless of the weird spinny anti-gravity thing, I still want to (legit) visit outer space.

Recently Re-Discovered: The Hills Are Alive

So, Interwebz, my roommates and I have recently re-discovered the awesomeness that is one of my favorite movies from my childhood: The Sound of Music.

One of my roommates, Cayla, even adopted a second (or third...or fourth...) persona called Julie Andrews. We've been listening to the soundtrack a lot and will probs be von Trapp'n it up for Halloween this year.



Yes.

We are a bit strange. But you know you love it, Interwebz.


We were thinking something along these lines for Halloween...what do you think, Interwebz?

Play Pen Balls=Amazeballz.

That's Over Here!

Oh, wow Interwebz. So I guess everyone's been talking about the iPad that Apple just came out with. I think its kindof cool, but I'm not too technologically advanced myself, so I don't see myself ever really needing one... My Macbook Pro and I have a close, personal bond--and I'm not ready to trade in for a new computer that I have no relationship with!

(Interwebz, we must work on my attachment to inanimate objects. I'm only hurting myself, Interwebz! Only myself. Le sigh.)

I saw this super funny video about the iPad featuring Pee Wee and his Playhouse friends! I loved that show SO much growing up, and watching this brought me back to those good ol' days.

The Day of Firsts

Today was a day of "firsts."

1. I understood what was going on in my Solidworks class--She can be taught, Ladies & Gents! It's not a lost cause!

2. I got three pickles for the price of one in the cafeteria. That NEVER happens!

3. It felt like the real first day of Fall. Windy, with a crispness in the air.

4. I turned blue foam on the lathe. It was major funsies.

5. I accidentally stopped to talk to a creepy guy sitting on my stoop. Now, Interwebz, if you know me, normally I wouldn't have even looked in his direction. Remember the situation I got into with "girl-I-like-your-styyyyyle" Interwebz? That was not pleasant. I thought I had learned my lesson, but alas, I still attract all the creepsters. Le sigh.

6. Tonight was my first all-nighter of the semester because I have a huge project due tomorrow.

And finally...

7. I turned 20, never been 20 before, Interwebz! When I received a phone call from Tato this morning, wishing me a Happy Birthday, she informed me that I was starting my third decade. FACK. That's scary stuff right there. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I still have a bit of the Peter Pan syndrome goin' on. Not gonna lie.

Hopefully I will celebrate this weekend since the most celebrating I did today was saying "WAHOO! I'M DONE!"...after 8 hours on the computer.

So, I searched "pickles" and this was one of the first images that came up. Kindof creepy. Kindof hilarious.

Growing Pains?

Since last night I randomly posted about toys, I thought, dear interwebz, you should know something about me: I refuse to grow up.

Luckily I'm short, so people will always think that I am a few years younger than I actually am. But, the sands of time do keep a flowin'. I, unlike one of my favorite childhood characters, Peter Pan, do eventually have to graduate from college --gasp!-- get a job --GASP!-- and pay bills --DOUBLE GASP!

So, to console myself about growing up I've decided to chat about my fivvity fave childhood books. Perhaps you will read them, interwebz?

"And for all I know he is sitting there still, under his favorite cork tree, smelling the flowers just quietly. He is very happy."

First up is one that I actually put down as my favorite book on a questionnaire given out by my high school college counseling office. The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf was a favorite of mine and my sister when we were little. Wouldn't you rather smell flowers under a cork tree than kick and snort with the other bulls? I know I would.

"Children have the strangest adventures without being troubled by them."

Obviously, if I want to talk about favorite children's stories, I cannot forget to talk about my all time favorite, Peter Pan and Wendy by J.M. Barrie. I have to admit, when I was little I had the biggest crush on Peter Pan--I mean, who wouldn't? That confidence! That sense of adventure! So soupah sexy to my 8 year-old self... and, okay, my current self. Barrie created a world where I could have adventures fighting pirates, swimming with mermaids, and scolding lost boys--if only in my head.

This almost made me feel better about getting older.

EXCEPT IT DIDN'T. It just made me nostalgic for my childhood.

Le sigh.
