Today was wonderful. It was sad because this morning I said goodbye to Rebba. She will be heading off to Paris for Spring Quarter. But it was also freeing.
I went to breakfast with Rebba and Deborah at Toast...so yummy. Then turned in my Sophomore Seminar final paper, walked around, enjoyed the sun. Came home and napped for a little then met Megan at Moody for a run. Shower then a lot of relaxing at Lauren Yoho's apartment. Then Urban...I bought some clearanced shoes. Then off to Judy's house for some curry! Yumms. Then girly girl talk and some of the most wonderful news about roommates for this summer/year. Lauren and I are in some early stages of thinking about living together. It does fit the criteria....good friend, respectful, but we don't hang out often at all. I don't fully know how I feel but I just am so happy. I mean I've got a number of different people as options now and I just have a renewed sense of hope.
I'm thinking Old Town. Outside of Lincoln Park but ridiculously close and just as safe. :))
We shall see. If I get a hold of some pictures from tonight I'll post them later on. I really did have an amazing day, to say the least.

Midnight in the Library
My brain is fried. And although I've finished my literary proposal of a feminist critique of Lorrie Moore's short story "People Like That Are the Only People Here" I still have to write a six-something page paper tomorrow for Friday.
Then Saturday and Sunday need to be devoted to writing my Medieval Philosophy final paper. Then Monday and Tuesday are to be devoted to my outlining of my Hard-boiled Fiction and Film Noir written, in-class final at 8:45-11am on Wednesday.
But then I'll be done for the quarter. Then Spring Break.....
Then Spring Quarter. :)) haha.
I've realized I really like our library. Not only is it beautiful, it really is quiet.
Oh and disclaimer to those two people that I deliberately got a new blog in order to get away from. If you read this fine, but don't be insulted by what I say because I'm writing this with the assumption that you don't read it. I'm not being a creep by reading your new, private blog....because I understand it's private. You think you can't wait to move out, trust me, I am dying to.
Oh and you really don't piss me off when you shake the ice cube bucket around at 2am, because honestly I rest assured that I have a better quality of life than you. I don't get my kicks out of being rude and obnoxious, it's a maturity thing really.
I really do have a lot to be thankful for that so many people don't have. A wonderful, loving family. Friends that honestly care for me and aren't in it for some (sexual?) advantage of their own. A understanding of what I want in life and no reservations about living to the fullest extent...not ordering out food and staying in the apartment all day. Thus I'm healthy! And most important of all, a foundation of love and truth that will never fail me.
So ha! You really think I'm stupid and rude and that I don't clean the bathroom enough. Well frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

Embarrass, e-m-b-a-r-r-a-s-s, embarrass
Making a fool of myself is slowly becoming my new hobby. I never facebook stalk people (fb stalking includes asking someone you only kind of know to be your friend) except this once. And it totally blows up all in my face!
Lesson learned: don't drink coffee if your initials are kmb and you really don't need the coffee or else you will be up at midnight blogging.
Real lesson learned about facebook stalking, even just the one time when you don't expect anything to come of it and you only just ask the kid (kid as in twenty year old) to be your friend! : Don't friend request boys just because they say they are Christians....they will think you are creepy and they will write on your comment wall something along the lines of "Do I know you?" even though you've had two classes with him and he sat right by you the day he asked the question.
Really real lesson learned: Boys are stupid. Seriously, this kid is either an idiot or he pretended he didn't know me. Maybe his eyesight is impaired. Maybe I just need to stop dwelling on how embarrassed I am.
Side note. In texting/facebooking the girls (shout out to Rebba and Deborah!) about my embarrassing situation I learned how to spell embarrass. If you know me intimately, shout out to my mom :), you know I can't spell for the life of me. So when I am forced under stressful situations such as this to spell a word, I first off go to dictionary.com, and then spell and respell it, usually out of necessity, and then I know it for real.
So end of story about some boy asking me on facebook after I asked him to be my friend if I knew him. I feel at times facebook can be like some twisted form of hierarchical playground mechanics....No you can't be my friend, you didn't give me Malibu barbie at my birthday party last week, you only gave me barbie. I don't even know you. Eww.
On another side note, Emily told me today at dinner I should write a book about my roommate experiences. She said I always have such entertaining stories about them and they are so complex/intriguing in a sad/disturbing way. I thought about it. Truly a good idea....I would entitle the novel...Dante's Ninth Circle of Hell Disguised as 2120 N Sheffield. Clearly omitting the real address. Oh and I would honestly have to write under a pseudonym. Kevin Bricksmith. If ever I did need a pseudonym it would be Kevin Bricksmith. I'm ever so tickled by that. Hehe.
I keep forgetting the title of my blog: Bread and Bunnies. Considering I haven't the time to make bread, I'll just put up another cutesy photo of Alfie.

Almost spring days are tough
I finally made chili. White bean, sausage, corn, mushroom, onion and vegetable stock chili. But when you say it like that it's not as appealing. It's yummy though...I just had some leftovers for lunch! Along with Safeway brand classic baked snack crackers....which when you think about it taste just as good as Ritz crackers do and they (when both are on sale at Dominicks) are 50 cents cheaper! I had to resist the urge for some reason to say fiddy cent.
I think I'm allergic to Berts Bee's chapstick. I lost the one thing of chapstick I had left (of the many that I own but do not really like) and searched through all my other random chapsticks only to settle for BB's. I woke up this morning and my lips were swollen and red...not a good sign. So I thought it could have been the jalapeno in the chili, but I've had jalapeno before and it hasn't made me swell up. I went through all I'd eaten yesterday, any odd or out of the ordinary happenstances yesterday...nope, nothing....except the chapstick. So my conclusion is, I need to get some more normal plain moisturizing chapstick before my lips get all red and irritated like last summer. Yuck.
I'm in official countdown mode: 2 more T/H classes, 2 more M/W classes, and 4 more MWF classes.....then on March 12th at 5pm I'll be done with my Spring Quarter 08 classes for good and will only have to endure finals....hmm. But at least the end is in sight.
And Spring is almost in sight. But almost spring days make the real winter days tough. Like Sunday....gorgeous, warm, beautiful, wonderful. Because of Sunday, the past two days have been hell, like the Dante's Inferno hell where Satan is frozen at his midsection and hell is cold. That kind of hell.
I feel as though this is a good time to include another one of my pretty bunny pictures.
Oh he's just too cute. I love him.

Success!
I got my new jacket and it fits! Success.
Oh and it's Marc New York by Andrew Marc....not Marc Jacobs. Misinformation on my part...but Baker Liz told me that Marc New York is a very good brand! So I'm happy. I have to read The Grifters tonight.....uck, although it seems like a good book, so it's not worth complaining that much. I'm off.

Updates
I sent the jacket back. Megan and I had a DTR (defining the relationship) about our friendship. I ordered a new jacket. And I am ready for spring and a new apartment.
I should just leave the blog at that. Succinct, blunt.....but I'm not like that. Haha. I'm at Mercury Cafe. My new favorite homework cafe...and the place were Megan works. I'm supposed to be doing homework right now. I will, just after this.
I did send the nice, warm, pretty Lands' End jacket back. The sleeves were way to short. And although I wanted to keep it, it would have been an unwise decision. So I returned it.
Megan and I have not really talked lately, well lately as in the two weeks before this past week. This past week we were inseparable. I was sick and busy and she was busy, but I guess she was frustrated with me. So we talked and realized how much we both cherish our friendship and figured out what we need to do to keep supporting the other. Thus our DTR.
As soon as I realized I did not want the Lands' End jacket I went searching for another jacket. And found one on BlueFly.com. It's Marc New York by Marc Jacobs and was on uber sale. Let me see if I can find a picture of it.
Ok that worked. It's brown and obviously not as long but hopefully the sleeves aren't too short on this one because I am sick of this whole looking for a jacket thing. And I just want to be warm. Hopefully Spring will fix that.
And now for apartments. I still have no idea where or with whom I am going to live with, but let's all just pray God takes care of this whole situation....because I obviously can't handle it. One option I've been thinking about is getting a July 1st lease and just commuting in for the last week of class in June and the couple finals I'll have that next week. Because after that I'll be in West Virginia for Alexis's wedding. Then the next week I can stay at home and then go to Meg's wedding. Then find an apartment?
I don't know. But I don't think I'm supposed to know. This is going to be a well learned lesson of trusting God.
Okays, time for some stream of consciousness reading. Frank Chin's short stories. :))
