Do you prefer fashion victim or ensemblelly challenged?

My obsession continues. I took the facebook quiz today, its official. I AM Harry Potter. Therefore, my dream was wrong. I shouldn't have been the keeper in the Quidditch World Cup, I should have been the seeker. Duh. How could I have been so wrong about this. Today during my seminar, I placed my Harry Potter book next to my Shakespeare textbook, just for safe keeping, and Radel stared at it for a good 25 seconds, and then looked away without commenting. I was so confused. This man is the most amazing/socially awkward/controversial man in the world. For some reason, I want to be just like him in many aspects, walking around in the world just being me, not caring what other people think or feel about the way I am. All his actions say, "Yes, I am in fact a genius in many regards. I'm your tenured professor, and that makes me a boss. DEAL WITH IT." Thats why I want to be a college professor (well, one of a few reasons). I can walk around with my nose stuck straight up in the air, because when I have PHD, it will mean I truly am smarter than you, I'm not making it up. Finally, a genuine reason for pride.
Right now, I'm in a truly bad mood. It's late, and I made the tremendous mistake of drinking coffee around 10:00 tonight (really, whose stupid enough to do that. I think, "Oh, I'm hungry. Coffee is my mmmm, feel good, beverage of choice. WHY NOT?" I'll tell you why. One word: caffeine.) Anyways, instead of sleeping, I'm going to make a list of things that are making me in an even worse mood, just for fun. Its one in the morning, what else is there to do?

THINGS THAT TICK ME OFF AT ONE IN THE MORNING:

1. Unnecessary public displays of affection. Come on, no one wants to see that.
2. Facebook chat. It freezes, never sends things when you want it to, and the annoying sound it makes when you receive a new message is terrible.
3. Its freaking hot in my room. Lets face it, dorm life has lost its charm. I love college, everything about it actually. I'm so happy here. But cement walls and heat stroke make me unhappy.
4. Sorority/fraternity shirts. I don't know why, those little greek letters....not good.
5. Cold weather. Lets just face it, its going to be cold tomorrow when I walk outside the door around 10:00 AM. Curse you, upstate SC. I can either have heat stroke in my room, or coldness outside.
6. The fact that I generally can't have things that I want. I'm such a jealous person, and I've been pitching more inside fits than anyone on the planet. I just want a genie in a magic lamp that I can wish on and solve all my problems. Then life would be easy.
7. Studying. I'm lazy, why did I pick Furman again? The overnight room at the Furman Library reminds me of the orphaneches in Oliver Twist or Annie, where all the kids are stuck there and totally miserable, pining away scrubbing the floors. Furman studying is the same way. You're stuck doing something you hate in a cold, uncomfortable place, and all you want is more coffee. Its a hard knock life for us.
8. One word responses to text messages. Alright. I sent you something interesting. Stop being lazy, and type something out. I do not respond (as a general rule) to: hey, whats up, nice, lol, thats cool....you get the idea. Grow a personality and write something interesting.
9. Drunk Dialing. I have this one friend who drunk dials me all the time (it just happened actually). If I didn't love him so much despite his antics, I would not pick up the phone. His calls are always obnoxious, he has mean things to say...its just not fun. The only plus is that sometimes, he'll tell me things that in real life he would never say...which is useful.
10. Entitlement. People touch my stuff without asking, it gets moved around, suddenly I can't find things...I'm a shareful person. And I will be totally ok with it, for the most part. Just ask me.

Well, I'm now tired of making that list, because its making me even more irate. I also feel a little bit rude for complaining so much. I hope I dream about Harry Potter again. That would be epic.

Who I am

Greenville, South Carolina, United States
My name's Rachel, and I'm different. I believe that when you wish upon a star, it truly will come true. I wish I could wander Pemberly with Elizabeth Bennett and Darcy, conquer Mordor with Frodo Baggins, or fall in love for the first time within an old English castle with Cassandra Mortmain. I want a book to be written about me someday. I love Christ, and I love my family. There is nothing that brings me comfort than the arms of the one I love. Sugar makes me happy, coffee makes me euphoric. I am beautiful, excessive, and free.
