Public Speaking, Eh?

There are some things I've noticed today:
1. Writing 'kewl' does not in fact make you COOL. You just look like more of an early 2000's fool.
2. Employees at UDF are the most unfriendly, unhappy people I've ever met. Never have I ever had a cheerful "Regular Mint Chocolate Chip Milkshake with Chocolate Milk" getter. They always look like this:
I just get really depressed everytime I look at them and I want to ask them about their life. Be like "Obviously someone deprived you on the 'making sure you're okay' area of your life. I'd like to request leadership of that area. I'll be back every Monday for you to tell me how your week went."
3. I enjoy letters. I mean, getting letters in the mail is fine. But what I'm trying to say here is that I enjoy getting notes. Notes of literally WHATEVER. From best friends, friends, non-friends, the works. It just gives me joy in my heart. HEY GUESS WHAT?! Jesus sent me a letter--and it's flippin' gigantic.
4. I am absolutely terrible at impromptu speeches. We had to draw random topics from a bag today and speak off the top of our heads about it. We weren't able to look at our papers until it was our turn--so no early brainstorming. It's my turn, I'm all pumped and I grab my paper and go up to the podium. Of course, I would get 'Great Danes' as my topic. So I spent a good 30-40 seconds trying to come up with something to intro and conclude with. I finally settled on a mixed mumbo jumbo discussing how Great Danes are great for those who like them but for those who don't "I would suggest a cat. Take my 19 pound fluffy cat, for example." And then I finish it off by saying "If I were you, I'd be the first to go out and offi--"
Yes. I started to say 'officiate' which makes absolutely NO sense in this context. Seriously. I don't even know where it came from. So then I lost my train of thought and had to try to get back on track. And I looked like a fool the whole time and mumbled a loser of an ending and said 'THE END.' And then promptly sat down.
Glad to know I have a future in impromptu speaking.
5. I unintentionally rhymed on number one. GENIUS.
6. There does come a point in a disorganized person's life where a mess DOES, in fact, get to them. I about had a heart attack the other night while laying in bed. I realized that my room was a mess right as I was about to go to bed and that drove me crazy knowing that I couldn't fix it and that I just had to wallow in my mess overnight. Thank goodness I cleaned it today otherwise they might've had to put me in an enclosed white, padded room.
7. While I enjoy making lists and blogging, there is a time when all children of God must depart from technology and go to sleep.
8. Song of the Day: Hollis, the Flaming Youth -  Plastic Inevitables. Yeah, locals. They just won Cincinnati's Battle of the Bands. And their lead singer is one of my best friend's best friend. I'd give 'em a listen. WO-AH-OH-AH-OH!
