It’s because I was completely swamped with finishing my Math class, my Tech Entrepreneurship class, and my admissions essays that I was away, and don’t you take that as an excuse. But there was also Christmas shopping, and Christmas itself, and lots, and lots, and lots of chardonnay, but those are weak excuses as well. Merry Christmas by the way.

To make up for lost time, I’m compiling my very own “Best of 2012” post, like every other Jack, Tabitha, and Shirley in the blogosphere, if not to look back at this bulbous year, than to see if there are some cool songs or videos you can use in it to help you find solace in the next one. And by “best of” I mean my favorite musicians, books, songs, movies, people, quotes, and YouTube videos that absolutely got me through this year. The point being, to look back. God only knows why we’d want to.

Tonight I spent five hours working on my USC admissions essay and it was all crap. Every last sentence. Then suddenly, it wasn’t, and I churned out 300 words of absolute gem-studded substance, and I can finally give it a rest. I honestly think it’s the best of stuff, and I absolutely gave it my all, so I’m hoping it still looks good in the morning. Sometimes when you’re going and going and going the good stuff decides it wants to get going too, and by George you’re a fucking genius!

Also I started watching TV.

American Horror Story to be specific. First season. It’s really bad because now I look more forward to catching up on that than anything else, I mean anything else. It’s an addiction and I’m petrified. And it’s worse because it’s on Netflix with no commercials and so CONVENIENT! Where is the watchaholics anonymous? I can’t stand it. I want to watch TV now more than I want to read. It’s vile. It’s pathetic. I got sucked in and can’t get sucked out. I can’t let this happen to me, I can’t. It’s worse than Breaking Bad. Parks and Rec. DAWSON’S CREEK. Only then, of course, instant streaming was never available and I can see why.

But at least I got a blog post in after, well, I won’t say it because it makes me cringe. My apologies are worthless! Okay I’m done banging these keys like I hate them, especially the backspace. I’ll…er…good night.
