"Live from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars!"
Those are some of my favorite words. Yes, I very willingly admit that I am totally addicted to Dancing with the Stars. I love dancing, I love celebrities, I love tv, and I love shiny costumes and trophies. It's kind of like little pieces of perfection wrapped into a time of awesome every week...until my favorite people are eliminated, and then I hate it until I remember that other favorite people remain on the show.
Sadly, the All-Star season has ended. My Twitter followers are probably thanking Jesus for this because I blow up Twitter every time that I watch DWTS...but I do the same with Glee, The New Normal, Breaking Amish, etc., so I don't feel badly about my choices. I would share them in person, but no one seems to enjoy it as much as I do, so I'm seeking out someone in the Twittersphere who may like to converse with me regarding the glorious reality show. I have not yet found anyone. That's ok. ;)
My favorite couple the entire season has been Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough. I'm a huge fangirl for Shawn. I have loved her since she first competed in the Olympics, I voted for her in season eight of DWTS, I wanted her to return in the Olympics this summer and was devastated when she couldn't, and I was EXTREMELY ecstatic about her return to DWTS: All-Stars. She's the bomb. Derek pushed the boundaries so much this season, and I love him for it...most of the time. My favorite was definitely the trio dance with Mark because hello, beast mode. The bomb.
Regardless, I'm glad that Melissa won. I wanted Shawn to win, but I loved Melissa this season and definitely wanted her to do better than Kelly in the finale (no one is buying that crap that she and Val are just friends...no one...). Others who deserved to probably be in the finales or closer to the top than they were are Sabrina and Apollo. Sabrina is wonderful and Apollo is a really great dancer. I was so sad when Apollo and Karina messed up their hip hop dance, but throwing a classically trained dancer into a rough and jaunting hip hop dance is entirely unfair. It's like taking me and putting me into a Latin dance without much prep time, but I suppose that's what the pros do with the celebs, so whatevs. I still sympathize for her. And Sabrina. Oh, darling. She's magnificent, but she didn't have enough audience support. :( She's exceptional and deserved to go really far. People know this "shocking" truth *wink, wink*, but whatevs. "It is what it is," to quote Liz and Dick.
So, this is a really fluffy post. Nothing serious, but that's ok. Humanity needs to focus on a few lighthearted things sometimes when there are mounting pressures that are always looming above our heads such as term papers and finals....or maybe that's just me. Anyway, I love Dancing with the Stars. <3

Bucket List
Bucket List. ....which my fingers like to type as Buckey List....dumb...
I'm sure that most people have seen the movie with the two famous people whose names I can't remember. My bad, Mr. Famous Guys.
I've decided to make a bucket list. As far as I know, I don't have cancer nor anything else that would cause the need to make a list of things to do before I die, but I'm doing it anyway. Bree (my roommate / best friend) and I made a bucket list a few weeks ago of things that we want to do while we live in Cape. After midterms were over, we realized that our time in college is limited and we have many things to do, so we're trying to do one thing each week. It's a bit difficult now (and for the next few months) because there are not a lot of wintery activities on the list, but that's ok. We're going to complete it, culminating in a 3-day trip (because that's all that we can afford...if we save our money like cray-cray) to Chicago. Woot!
Tonight, I was talking to a friend on Twitter, and I said that Chicago (the musical, not the city this time...sorry for any confusion, mis amigos) is on my list of musicals to see. Then, I realized that I don't actually have a list, so I made one.
Then, I decided that there's no need to stop the list-making because who doesn't love lists?! Well, I assume that some people probably don't, but my friends and I like making them, so I continued the trend of the night by making a full-life bucket list.
I'm positive that I will continue to add to the list often, and I'll probably think of most things while sitting in class and feeling bored.
Some of the things are simple and known to happen such as earning my Bachelor's degree. If all goes as planned, I'll have that on December 21, 2013. Yes, I looked up the exact date a few hours ago.
Other things seemed simple when I was younger, but now they might not be; example: getting married. I'm not going to dwell on the subject, but I assume that a majority of others my age without a boyfriend can easily feel #foreveralone. So, I hope to change that someday when God sends the perfect guy into my life who will have a relationship with me that is centered on Christ.
Another thing on the list is to perform at SCC again. This may seem dumb, trivial, stupid, whatever, but I love SCC and the Ed Center stage, and I would love to perform there again. It's going to happen. Just wait. (Plans are in my head but not yet released to the public. :P)
So, there you have it. Others on the list are traveling things, silly things like blogging daily for a month, or going to Disney World with friends. Visiting all 50 states and places in Europe and Australia are obviously on the list. Ya know, the life things that I want to do.
Therefore, my dear readers who I don't know, I encourage you to make a bucket list, or a buckey list as I accidentally keep typing it.

Post 5: Today
Today...well, technically yesterday.
Wake up (late), school, lunch, nap, school, edit my newspaper articles, rush to work, work, come home. Exciting life. Not. Hashtag not. :P
This is kind of a typical day. I often wake up really late. I have a max of two classes each day. I nap almost daily. I do some newspaper prep work most days. I work a few days each week. I eat...daily...quite often, actually, as it should be. And that's it.
Isn't it boring? When a life is like mine, it's not exciting; I lack excitement, and I miss it greatly. With bills to pay, a life to live, goals that I'm supposed to achieve, and a necessity to move on, this is my life. I really can't change it.
Sad, right? Well, this is my life.

Post 4: Explanation / The Introduction
Hi, my name is Kirsten.
Pretend that^ was on a sticky piece of paper that's going to fall off of my shirt within four hours.
So, I feel like anyone who reads this needs an explanation about....duh duh duh.....my life. Creative wording, I know. Thank the academy. :P
So, the title of my blog. Initials: Words. I had another blog, but it was stupid and artificial. I created a new one...obviously. I used my initials for this one because I didn't know what else to use. Also, I didn't know what I would (and will) talk about on here, so the second half of the title is simple, "My Life." Don't judge me on my lack of creativity. I'm kidding; you can judge me.
If you want to know why the title of my posts are so lame, I will refer you to the first one. Boom, I suck at titles. You should already know this from the last paragraph.
I guess I'll give a little about me for the blog creepers out there. I love hot pink and sequins on grey tank tops that are layered with something black. Jeans (and jean shorts) and sweat pants (and sweat shorts) are the only bottoms that I owned until I had to purchase dress pants for work. I would wear nothing other than simple, lazy clothing everyday if I could AND if I looked attractive in it, but I'm not one of those amazing Victoria Secret models who can somehow pull off a pair of sweats just because they say Pink or U of I on them. I envy them. I don't know what I'm doing with my life. I would explain further, but I'm sure it will be covered more than enough throughout the blog. I like musical theatre, Glee, Facebook, Smash, The Glee Project, Twitter, Instagram, Hulu, YouTube, and my little sister. I have newly found a love for The New Normal. I really miss my friends, and I eat a lot of Oreos. Flip flops are what I prefer to wear in the shoe category. I don't like a majority of Sperry snobs. I like to be healthy, but I'm really slacking on it, and I don't dance much at all anymore. I'm a Sr Beta Club Co-Sponsor, and those kids make me more happy than anything else I have in my life anymore. I'm really confused on life, but I have God to get me through it. Jesus is my best friend, but I'm having a lot of trouble making time just to spend with Him which is something that I need to work on. I like math, I like correcting grammar, and I like writing. I just don't know what I want to do for forever (or until retirement). I like complex sentences. I like long paragraphs. I sometimes rebel by only placing one space between my sentences or by typing Sperries instead of Sperrys. No one should judge me on the way that I type when I'm awakening because it's stupid. I text quite often. I don't like being outside, and I don't watch many movies on a regular basis, but I have been working on that. I never print pictures, so I have numerous empty photo frames. I like zebra-printed things and sweet tea. I always wanted to live in Chicago, but I think I would be too overwhelmed if I actually moved there. I believe that Disney is magical, just as it should be. My friends range in age, but I couldn't ask God for better ones. I like Jenna Marbles videos, I used to be a cheerleader and a band geek in junior high, and I've always considered myself a nerd. I don't cuss, I like quoting myself, and I think things should be grouped in threes. I like procrastinating, I am overly excited when I get a lot of likes on Facebook, and I try to be really mature though I'm probably just a normal late-teen female.
And, I think that's all that anyone who doesn't know me in real life should know about me.
