So, I'm addicted to TV shows.
I don't watch most of them when they air on TV though... most of my TV intake is online.
As much as I appreciate that networks such as ABC, The CW, NBC, and ABC Family have video players on their websites so that I can watch whatever show I want whenever I want, it definitely leads to addiction.
I would post a list about all the shows I watch online... but that would just be embarrassing... seriously.
Plus, when I get bored, I tend to just look for new shows to watch and I end up adding to my collection of TV shows I'm addicted to. Tonight's new show: 90210. It's the new version on The CW. Add that to my weekly Grey's, Private, Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, Greek, etc.... and you've got yourself a full blown TV addict.
Maybe I should try going to the gym or something instead... who am I kidding. That will never happen. I'll just continue to complain about how out of shape I am while I sit in front of my computer/TV watching whatever pops up on the screen.
I just bought a bunch of new books though (remember the ones from Borders?) so I'm thinking that maybe instead of watching television shows like I did tonight, I will read a few more books during the early hours of the night so that I don't stay up late reading like I normally do.
Or I could focus on my homework much more than I normally do... hmm, now there's a concept!
So things Rachel could be doing instead of watching trashy online teenage soap operas...
1. going to the gym
2. reading books like Angels and Demons as well as The Starter Wife or Picking Cotton
3. doing homework
But, now lets be honest, do any of those sound as interesting as the lives of rich kids in Beverly Hills or the love lives of successful neuro surgeons? Yeah, didn't think so.
What TV shows do you watch?
P.S. Props to Nikol for her extremely successful magazine club meeting tonight. If you want more information about the magazine, let me know (or you can message Nikol directly). It's gonna be cool!

My Little Sister
My little sister, Liana, is here. She drove herself down here, the longest drive she's ever done by herself. I am so proud of her for making the drive by herself. I am so glad that she decided to come down and visit me even though it is just for one night. She needed to get away from home.
My sister and I are similar in many ways, but different in many more ways. We both hate/hated high school, but for very different reasons. We both have struggled with issues with ourselves, but for different reasons (emotional, physical, etc.) Sometimes it's hard for me to talk to her about what's going on in her life. I desperately wanted her high school experience to be different than mine. I wanted her to enjoy her four years there and to have a great group of friends whom she can stay in touch with for the rest of her life.
I generally force her to do things in her high school years that I missed out on or did not enjoy during my years. Sometimes she hates me for it, but I hope that she understands that I am her big sister and even though we fight a lot, I want to take care of her and make sure she has a good time in high school, sports, and whatever else she does.
I get really upset when something happens to any of my sisters, and even though it might not seem like it, i try to protect them as best I can. It doesn't seem that way, though, because I try to separate myself from their situations because otherwise I get too emotionally involved. It hurts me to see them in pain, it hurts me when they are dealing with friend problems, it makes me sad when I see them cry.
I cried when I saw my little sister, Liana, all dressed up and looking beautiful for prom. She looked absolutely stunning. My step sisters, Caitlin and Kelley, do other things in their lives that I am so proud of them for. I love all my sisters, and I am so lucky to have them in my life.
Liana and I have an interesting relationship. Maybe it's the same as other sister relationships, I don't know. but I do know that we fight and scream at each other like no other, but I love her beyond anything else, ever. We have two extremes: love and hate. Anything we do together, it's either a great experience or it is an awful experience.
Tonight was one of those great experiences. We've had good conversations, enjoyed spending time together, and now we're sitting on my bed watching "Rachel Getting Married" with Anne Hathaway. I love having these nights with my sister.
We went to Borders where I got a bunch of books and she looked at me like I was crazy (and maybe I am crazy) and even though she complains about how long it takes me to go through the racks and racks of books, and then through the basket of 50 books that I pick out initially, she loves doing it with me. It's those kind of things, spending an hour and a half in Borders or Target or Longs, that we love to do together.
I love that my little sister gets along with my friends too. Today she told me that she and the rest of my family really like Luke. That meant so much to me. My family's opinions and impressions of my friends are so important to me. They have such a good read on the people around me. By telling me that she likes Luke, Liana was giving me a confidence boost that I was making the correct decision in dating a guy that I care about a lot. Sometimes it's hard to know what the right decision is, or it's hard to know if somebody is good for you or not. That is something that Liana is struggling with. I hope that some day she'll learn, as I did, that her family actually does know best when it comes to our choices in friends, guys, or whoever we choose to include in our lives.
Liana and Maryn have a very good relationship. Liana looks forward to visiting me partially because it means she gets to talk to Mare. I don't blame her. Maryn gives wonderful advice on all aspects of life. What is even better is that Maryn cares about Liana and is willing to give her honest opinion and advice on whatever is going on in her life. Tonight was one of those conversation times. I thank Maryn for her support of my little sister. Mare has dealt with my problems for the past seven or eight years, and now she is supportive of my little sister. That is the defintion of a true friend.
Sometimes Liana is hard to get along with; at least for me. When Luke, and Anthony before him, were trying to get to know my family they weren't sure whether Liana liked them or not because she would make fun of them. I told them, "If Liana wasn't making fun of you I'd be worried." She just turned to me, without knowing I was writing this blog, and said "You know I really do like Luke, right? I just make fun of him because he likes 'Enders Game' and laffy taffy." Case in point.
She is so fun loving most of the time, it makes me sad when she is unhappy. I know she struggles a lot but I want her to know that I'm always there for her. I love her unconditionally; I always have and I always will.
I had so much fun with her tonight at Borders, Pita Pit, watching Dancing With The Stars, getting Yogurt Creations with Luke, talking to my room mates, and now watching Rachel Getting Married. We are sitting next to each other on my bed, I'm cuddled up in the blanket she made me for Christmas writing this blog, and Liana is wearing my dad's old practice football jersey, wrapped in a Disney Princess blanket (so characteristic of Liana), doing the People magazine crowssword puzzle book with a green Sharpie. Tonight was wonderful. I'm so glad she came.
I would write more about my sister, but I don't know how much she actually wants me to share with random people online. I will say, again, that I love her.
I'm going to end this blog with a list of the books I bought at Borders just because I'm so proud of my purchases. I got a bunch of books for a grand total of $58. I had a gift card for $50, though, so it wasn't even that much of my own money! Also, most of them were on sale and if you buy two books on sale, you get a third one for free! That's a great deal.
Like I said, Liana rolled her eyes at me when I was making my book decisions. Then, when I showed Maryn, Rene, Ashley, and Luke my books, they all did the same. Oh well, I love books. I love book stores. And I think that out of anything I could spend money on, books are a great choice.
Books I bought:
There were some books that I saw on the shelves that I didn't buy because I didn't have enough money. I read the backs of a lot of the books as I was going through the shelves and they looked good. I'm the kind of person who reads the title of a book and then I decide if I will like the book based on how much I like the title. Also, there are books that I want to read that my sister has read or that have been recommended to me. Here is a list of them:

Books I bought:
- You Can't Get There From Here by Gayle Forman (Written by a journalst about different effects of globalization... the description sounded entertaining)

Picture Practice
This past week has been a wonderful depiction of how great life is right now. I've had so much fun with my friends and boyfriend. I'm lucky to go to school where I do and to live so close to beautiful places like Montana de Oro and Avila beach.
I've already written about my Monday and Tuesday earlier this week. Those two days were great. I got to spend time with my good friends at the beach.. This is a picture that Nikol took while we were at the beach. I'm giving her all the credit, but I love it so much and it is such a great Kodak moment (well, actually, a Nikon moment because that's the kind of camera Nikol has) which describes my friends and their playful attitudes perfectly.
Thanks for this great picture Nikol!

This is a picture that Nikol took while we were at the beach. I'm giving her all the credit, but I love it so much and it is such a great Kodak moment (well, actually, a Nikon moment because that's the kind of camera Nikol has) which describes my friends and their playful attitudes perfectly.
Thanks for this great picture Nikol!My sister saw this picture on Facebook and commented that I am so lucky that I get to go to the beach every weekend. I was like... "Yeah, Kell, I am super lucky! I am so close and the weather is always great! But, I went to the beach on Tuesday.. it wasn't even a weekend!!" I totally rubbed it in her face. It was great! (Sorry Kelley, Love you!)
I did, however, go to the beach this weekend. Yesterday, Kat, Nikol, and I spent a wonderful two hours taking pictures at Montana de Oro. We got some really nice pictures of our beautiful model, Kat. Also, we all took turns posing in pictures together. The rocks hurt our feet, the tide started rising, it was exhausting, but it was so much fun. I wish that my photo skills were up to par, though. Hopefully, as Nikol and I continue to find people to photograph in cool locations and wearing cool outfits, I will get better and better at training my artistic eye. (Hence the title of this blog, "Picture Practice," instead of "Picture Perfect." I still believe I have so far to come as a photographer, but by praciticing, I'll get closer to that time when I can say "Picture Perfect" .. or at least "Picture nearly-Perfect")
Our whole day was an adventure. We got to conduct a photo shoot at a beautiful beach that is only 15 miles away from campus. After that, though, we continued our adventures. We hung out with Mark and went to three different locations to find milkshakes. Unfortunately, the Madonna Inn as well as Margie's Diner (not Morgie's, Kat, sorry!) close at 9! Sucks for us, we ended up at Denny's. The drinks we got were so good though; plus, we saw some very interesting characters showing up there. They seemed to be coming from a wedding reception... we all agreed that if ANYBODY decided to go to Denny's after our wedding reception... we'd be very angry (and I think I would not invite them to my second wedding... okay, bad joke).
Later that night, even though we were all exhausted, we decided to watch the Nicholas Cage movie, Next. It has Jessica Biel in it. I definitely recommend it. It was a very good movie.
Not only did I get to hang out with Kat, Nikol, and Mark, though, but I also got to spend Friday with my future room mates, as well as Saturday. Friday night, we went out with Stephanie's parents to CPK for dinner. It was very good and her parents were very nice. Then, Saturday, we went to the house and I did measurements of my room. It's HUGE!! (16ft by 16ft!!!) Later on Saturday, after my beach photo shoot but before my milkshake adventures, I got to go out to dinner with Christine's mom. She is so nice and so fun to talk to.
I also hung out with Kathryn and Christine at the pool today. Luke and some of Christine and Kat's guy friends were also there. I even got in the pool... something I NEVER do. It felt so nice.
The entire weekend was absolutely beautiful and I am so glad I have the friends I do.
P.S. My little sister, Liana, is coming to visit tomorrow. I'm so excited to see her. She's been having a tough week, and I'm looking forward to spending some quality sister time with her... even if it is just for one night. I love you Liana!

My Daily Dose(s) of Nerd
Today, I was a nerd. But I had fun doing it! Here is why:
Nerd Moment #1: Twilight Influenza
Location: 250 person lecture hall during my Business Law class
Situation: My business professor talking about random, crazy laws that only really make sense in the time period that they were enacted
Professor's Question: It is illegal to spit on a public sidewalk or street. This law was enacted in 1919. What was happening in that time period to make a law like that necessary?
My Answer: The spread of Influenza (spitting is unsanitary and would make the spread of influenza even worse)
The Way I Knew: In 1918, Edward Cullen was dying from influenza when Carlisle bit him and transformed him into a vampire...in Twilight
Nerd Moment #2: Plantar Fasciitis
Location: Walking through the parking lot to my apartment
Situation: I was wearing my very cute Steve Madden knock off flip flops from Target and the bottom of my foot hurt really bad.
What Was Wrong With My Foot: Plantar Fasciitis
How I Know: I took Anatomy & Physiology my senior year of high school, as well as Sports Medicine during my junior and senior years. I know the muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and injuries associated with many different parts of the body used in basic daily use as well as sports injuries. Generally, if I'm injured, I can diagnose myself it it has to do with tendons or ligaments.
Why It Was A Nerd Moment: because I'm a journalism major and have absolutely no use for this sort of medical information
Exciting Moment #1: Bi-Lingual
Location: Spanish class
Situation: My Spanish professor walked in to my classroom and spoke Spanish for the majority of the time we were in class.
My Excitement: I completely understood every single thing that he said in class. It was so cool to think that I could potentially become bi-lingual if I'm dedicated enough.
Amazing Moment #1: Wonderful Boyfriend
Location: The Ave eating food with Joe, Kathryn, and Luke.
Situation: Luke had told me that he had a surprise for me. I was expecting it to be the fact that he shaved his face (which he did!). But then he told me to hold out my hands so that he could hand me something.
What he handed me: A manila envelope with a sweet note written on it.
What was inside the envelope: tickets to Stage Coach so I can go with all my future room mates: Brittany, Kathryn, Stephanie, and Christine! :)
Today was a wonderfully nerdy and amazing day <3

Twitter and April Fools
So I just joined Twitter. What a great tool!
I always feel bad because I constantly update my status on Facebook... but then I feel like people get sick of that and I feel so lame because really, the number of people on Facebook who care what I'm doing at any given moment in time is very small...
Twitter allows me to do the Facebook update type things, without being annoying. If somebody is looking at my updated status it's because they want to, not because it shows up, unavoidably, on their news feed.
I feel like a true Journalism student now. A blog, twitter, Mustang Daily meetings... wow!
Check out my Twitter page!
On another note, I hate April Fools Day. It is one of my least favorite holidays! I always fall for the dumb jokes that people play on me. Like my jerk face of a little sister. My mom is on some tropical vacation with my step dad. They are scuba diving and all that good stuff. My sister texted me this morning telling me that my mom was in the hospital being treated for a really bad jellyfish sting on her leg. I believed her because I could envision my mom freaking out and yelling at people and being in a very bad mood and very scary to be around because of that sting. I believed her because I actually got that image in my mind. Then came the "April Fools" text. Thanks Liana. You got me again. Just like every other April Fools day since you could talk. Wonderful.
On the plus side, I made very good tariyaki chicken for dinner tonight. And Luke helped me move around the furniture in my room so that I could accommodate the TV that I brought from home. Plus, I bought an over the door sweatshirt hanger at BBandB today.. my wardrobe was getting pretty cramped.
That is all.
