Austin, TX: Ok, I get why everyone loves Texas now...

...This part of Texas anyway.

Suzanne is taking some class right now. I'm taking one at 9 (Beginner, of course, since I lack flexibility and coordination). It's too early. That's all I can say about the situation as of right now. It's too freakin early. I'm going to have to get up this early during the school year. Which blows.

My flights were okay. I didn't sit next to a talker on either trip. However, on the first one I sat in front of a screaming baby. Which is annoying, but you can't be mad at the baby, right? That's what I keep telling myself. Oh, and once I landed in Dallas to connect to my other flight, I made a very interesting observation: There are A LOT of hot guys in Texas. This observation was confirmed upon my arrival to Austin. There was a model-looking guy on the flight from Dallas to Austin. Ugh. Gorgeous. He also had 2 empty seats next to him, and smiled at me (just being polite I guess) and I, go figure, got shy and sat next to two obnoxious girls that talked (to each other) the whole time and took pictures of themselves. One kept elbowing me. Good choice Lib.

Two just walked in to the coffee shop where I'm trying to entertain myself. If only I didn't look like hell.

Damn I'm hungry. Suzanne said it's not good to eat before you do yoga, so I have to wait til 10:30 :( 
Those rolls are calling out to me...

I should've brought a book. I'm such an idiot. I brought 3 with me for the trip, as if my flights weren't going to be only an hour each. I'm tempted to just curl up and sleep on this couch, but I'm in public. And since I haven't bought anything, falling asleep on their furniture would be more than inappropriate.

You know when you haven't slept well, and you feel like your face is going to fall off? When I'm in that state of mind I think about the weirdest shit. Not putting it on the internet.

delayed flights suck. (for real)

using the android blogger app. still not sure if i'm going to like it.
you know what's annoying? children.
you know what's awesome? girls in the military.

you know what else is annoying? this doesn't have spell check. lame.

you know what else is awesome? lambert airport is crawling with good lookin guys. it's also crawling with "hot"/tan/blonde chicks.

this flight is incredibly overcrowded. actually i'm pretty sure it's completely full. I hope I dont sit next to a talker. I hate that. Usually, I'm a pretty peppy person. On airplanes? No sir, I don't want to hear your life story, or tell you where I go to school, what my major is, how I like nashville, what I'm reading or why I'm going to dallas. And believe me, I really don't care why you're going to dallas and getting on a connecting flight to somewhere else. Call me anti-social, but I like to read/sleep/watch movies on planes.

5:45. the time my plane was supposed to be departing. still no sign of it. sweet! it'll be here in 10 minutes. gotta get my stuff togeva.

Are you there God? It's me Libby:


I know all your creations are unique and special. However, please don't let this man be Governor. I still want to like living in Tennessee.

Is anything I have to say interesting?

Probably not. But hey, I'll write anyway.

I'm watching Firefly (Joss Whedon - also known for Buffy), ep.2 "The Train Job." So far, it's awesome. AWESOME. Like, I'm wondering why the hell they cancelled the show in the first place. I seriously don't know. It's got pretty much everything someone could ask for. It's a western set in space 500 years from now. 

As of right now my favorite character is Kaylee Frye. She's the ship's technician, and she's awesome. Really awkward. Makes me feel comfortable. I also like Inara Serra. On the show description on wikipedia, it says she's a "companion," which is G-rated internet speak for "whore."

Mal Reynolds, the captain, is played by the yummy Nathan Fillion. His character is a little moody for my taste, but then again I'm only on the second episode. Fillion was picked to play Hal Jordan in the 2011 Green Lantern movie (!!!!!!), but instead the role has been passed on to the even more delicious Ryan Reynolds. I'm pumped.

The only thing I'm not looking forward to is Blake Lively playing Carol Ferris. I mean don't get me wrong, she is certainly a pretty girl. She looks the part (you know, minus the whole being blonde thing.) They should've picked someone else. I can't think of who. But Blake Lively is not a very good actress. Well okay, she's good at playing the nice gorgeous blonde with no personality. Carol Ferris is sassy; she's a leader. She's Hal Jordan's boss, which is another point entirely. Lively is 22? I think? She doesn't look old enough to be someone's boss. Maybe it's just because I'm used to her being the whiney 5th Avenue snob Serena on Gossip Girl. Serena is no Carol Ferris. 

It will be interesting to see how they make it modern. The Carol Ferris of 1959 was the same as every woman at that time: an accessory meant to look nice and every once in a while get mad over "silly things", all for the amusement of their male counterparts, or in this case I suppose they'd be their superiors... whatever. We'll see how she does. 

I'm going to Austin tomorrow! I'm very excited. I've never been to Texas. Suzanne (my aunt) is there getting her certification to be a yoga instructor, so I'm flying out and then driving back with her. 

okay: Firefly side note: River is weird. I know she's schizophrenic. I know. But she's weird! I'm not buying the actress' performance.  

I go back to Belmont in 16 DAYS!!!! I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. I'm living in an on campus apartment with 3 other girls: Nina, Brittany, & Kristin. WHOA MAL JUST GOT A KNIFE THROWN AT HIM. HARD CORE FIGHT SCENE. OH WOW. 

Anyway. I can't wait to move in and make up my room and get cute apartment stuffs. 

Can't think of anything else to say right now....
