big bang theory.

i have discovered a great tv show entitled the big bang theory.

as ellie describes it, it is a mix between the office and gilmore girls.
its basically a show about a bunch of upper twenty something nerds who are just living life. its super funny and one of my favorite characters is Sheldon. he always has the funniest rebuttals and ideas about everything. and raj is even a little cute (and he's from england).

its not letting me copy and past his quotes right now but i am going to come update it later sometime.

anyways i dont really know what the point is to writing this, but im going to bed.

highly amused,
annie em.

dancing is my remedy.

now that i have rediscovered my blog, ill prolly go crazy updating it once a day for a week and then wait a month again haha.
anyways

todays agenda:
gym
apartment hunting
movie
shopping
lunch
shopping
dinner
shopping
meet cute boys (?)
party...maybe

sounds like a good day to me.
definitely the weekend away that i needed. its nice to be able to finally feel a little freer. as for the thing im most excited about for today, its probably appartment hunting. one thing i have never done so it will be very interesting. my designer brain will most likely try to recreate every apartment we see in the future style it could be. haha. dorkish i know. well to say the least it will be a very fantastic day. i cant wait!

excitement,
annie em.

hangin with the mama metro.

current location: mosinee, WI
current activity: a multitude of things...uploading random music, facebooking, blogging, chillin with Mama Metro in the Metropulos kitchen, and oh playing Farmville.

i haven't written a blog in a long while. oops. anyways.
today, for the first time in a long time i have felt that little tinge of happiness and the feeling that everything will be ok. maybe for some reason the combination of my current activities are helping to cheer me up but anyways,

it has been so long since i have felt that it almost feels strange. this unfamiliar feeling that has for so long eluded me.

while the past year of life has served as a number of adjectives, the list too long to write here probably, i have come to decide one thing (however obvious this may be...)

life is full of lessons. some we learn the hard way and some come easily to us (duh). i have also come to learn that people come and go in your life. although it seems very odd to me that some people are only in your life for a short time, they can teach you more about yourself than you ever imagined.

we can grow so much as people that sometimes looking back we dont even notice how different we have truly become. it is not that i find myself at this crossroads. the person i was even six months ago is radically different than i ever could have dreamed. while sometimes i wonder if its a 'for the better' change, it appears to me that any point in your life that makes you change or realize more about yourself has to be 'for the better' in someway, right?

i dunno how i got off onto such a weird tangent, but i find myself on one of those nights where you finally just let out that huge breath you have been holding in for so long. i cant wait til ellie gets home from work and we get to catch up on our lives. even though we are apart sometimes it feels like no time has passed. you gotta love it when you have friends like that.
anyways
i am not watching the movie temple grandon with mama Metro. it is a good night

exhaling,

new year.

my first post of 2010.
seems almost impossible to believe.

i am back at school for jterm and kind of wish i could leave.
this year is going to be one of change, revival, searching and discovery.
im excited and also anxious to discover what is in store for me.

pondering,

snow.

its been snowing the past few days. i love it.
it makes my mood lift considerably and i dont feel so dreary.

yesterday i was inspired.
to start new and try to do something with my life.
well ok, more so try to figure it out.

sometimes it is amazing the power talking to other people holds. you can get second opinions, encouragement and the simple knowledge of knowing people care about you.

nonetheless, it will be a hard journey, but i am willing to take on the challenge.

living inspired,
annie em.

introvert.

today is christmas eve.
but it doesnt really seem to feel very Christmas-y. every year since my grandpa died we have had xmas eve at Oma's (german for grandma) house. but the snow, even though it put me in a good mood, changed our plans. so its at our house for the first time in years. its weird.
anyways
i am hiding in my room because i seem to find that that works better than socializing right now. i wouldnt call myself an introvert, because i really do like being around ppl, but lately i have just wanted to be more by myself. and perhaps this adds more to the fact that it doesnt seem like christmas. where has all the joy gone?

this is it,
annie em

You.

Although one may often wish
to forget their past mistakes…
to leave behind their hardships
no matter what’s at stake -
To ignore the lessons
that they’ve learned over the years…
just to disregard their heartaches,
pains, trials, and tears –
I’ve come to know
that I cannot
regret the life that I have led…
i cannot be apologetic
for the things I’ve done or said –
I cannot live a life of anger,
for the sufferings I’ve faced…
or think the tears that I have shed
should ever be replaced –
The moments of which I faltered
or made the wrong choice…
the times I needed to stand up,
but seemed to lose my voice –
Along with the days that I stood strong
and lived up to my potential…
all joined together to form a road
that each soul finds essential –
For each step that I took along
the life that I’ve been through…
became just one step closer
to finding You.
