Random Thoughts....

So, in the spirit of updating my blog I thought I'd share so fun tidbits that I've been randomly or not so randomly thinking about. I think they're fun/interesting/pertinent...but if you don't, then keep that shit to yourself.

1. I'm kinda irritated at my Civil Procedure book--not only because it's CivPro but because the book uses "she" instead of "him" for the third person when objectively describing the law. Maybe it's the fact that I grew up when books mainly were "sexist" or the fact that I studied Spanish, but I find it awkward and forced. Also, it's just as sexist to have the book refer to only "she" and never use "him" when describing the law (not in cases, of course). Maybe I'm being sexist against my own gender but it annoys me.

2. My DVD player literally just broke as I was writing this. I'm hoping if I let it rest a day it will come back to life but the outcome is looking bleak.

3. I went to my first Dodger's game tonight to celebrate Nicole's bday and I had a good time. Perhaps baseball is a better sport than I thought. I didn't hate it at all. Don't quote me on that though.

4. My musical obsession for the past couple of weeks has been Kid Cudi--especially "Day 'n' Night" and "The Sky Might Fall" but now I'm looking for a new fix. Music is pretty much heroin for me. I need something new to get attached to until I need my next fix. So, if you have any suggestions--throw 'em my way.

5. I really want to go to a concert. Specifically, I want to go to Coachella...but it starts tomorrow (Friday). Boo. If anyone has an extra ticket...I'll come with you! :D

6. My new favorite site is Twitter--I've been on it for a while but it's no good unless your friends actually use it too--so thanks for all of you who have decided to use Twitter. For all of you who don't, start! And follow me! Just look for kayleighdarling.

7. New Shows I wish I had time to watch/ Some I do:
Parks and Recreation on NBC--it had some good moments--I'm excited to see where it goes
Southland--yeah, the reason I watched the first episode was because Ryan from the OC is there--but it's a good show--promise--give it a try!
The Unusuals on ABC--looks interesting but I haven't watched it yet

Okay I think that about wraps it up. Hopefully I post something else soon.

Peace.

Umm...yeah

So, I'm terribly awful at tending to my blog, I know. I'm sorry. But, for the two people who may look at this who are not me, look, I'm updating! Yay!

Anyways, I have settled into Malibu, California and I must say that I do like it quite alot.
I've never lived in a place where I was truly happy to live because of the location, and I'm finally here. I'm content. I'm living in California, where the weather is mostly agreeable and the beach is literally in my view. My overwhelming feeling of satisfcation with my present location, however, stands in stark contrast to the lament in my heart. I have to say that I still miss all those people I love and care for in Houston. And as stupid and contrite as this sounds, I think my home is in Houston. I've never felt more connected to a city I generally dislike. And it's only because most of my best friends are there now. What I have realized in the past month and a half is that I think I might like Houston more than I ever thought. Actually, if the weather were like it is here in Malibu, I might be back in Houston right now.

Part of me thinks that is true, but another part of me disagrees. Over the past month, some people have kept in touch with me and I with them. But from others, I've received nothing. I wonder if they miss me at all. I miss them everyday, but I guess I should tell them more often. I use Facebook to try to talk to them, but they have lives too, I have to remember. And it generally sucks not being able to see them. (I do want to make it clear that I'm not angry or hurt at all...I just miss my old friends). I have to remember that they have our old friends, too. They have people to hang out with, to see movies with, to go to dinner with and people with whom it's okay to be completely comfortable. I'm not entirely sure what I'm trying to say anymore. I know I love it here, but I guess I would love it more if I could see my old friends more.

Okay...on to more pleasant business because I hate being a stick-in-the-mud! Law school--how is it going, you might ask. You didn't ask? Oh, well it's my blog, shut up. It's going alright, I think. I have a mid-term this week and then I leave for Washington D.C. for a few days! I'm so excited. I love Washington D.C. Eek!

And now I'm bored of writing this. I'll update more often from now on, hopefully.
