Friday Quick Takes (vol 55)

This week on Totes Awesome Channel, we talk about who we would like in our Breakfast Club Saturday detention.

Planning this vlog was the most fun I’ve had in my history of making vlogs. I came up with this list with my BFF and I totally manipulated the reasoning behind each stereotype for 4 of the 5 people in my Breakfast Club. The one that actually fits the stereotype was not even my choice but my BFF’s substitute. I chose Michael Jordan for my jock and she instantly balked, “What are you, 40?!” She exchanged him for Kevin Garnett, a basketball player for the Celtics who is just as good looking and bald.

So here’s my Breakfast Club.

Jock = Kevin Garnet (only legit answer)

Princess = Ryan Gosling (He’s really not a princess in attitude as far as I can tell, but he sure is pretty!)

Brain = Bill Clinton (I think he’s so sexy and would love to have him in my BC. So if charisma and saxophone playing count for intelligence, then he is my Brain.)

Criminal = Anthony Bourdain (What? LSD and cocaine are illegal.)

Basket Case = Eric Northman (He’d normally be classified as the Criminal but he’s currently a basket case in True Blood because he lost all his memory.)

Today’s VEDA (Vlog Every Day in August) topic is what we wish someone had told us. I also tacked on my first walk through of the apartment I’m moving into TOMORROW. (Don’t ask me if I’m close to done packing.)

I wish someone had told me a BA in Philosophy is useless and a BA in Biology is only slightly useful. I wish someone had told me a minor is CS isn’t quite useful either because it’s not deep enough. I wish someone had told me to major in CS or in engineering.

I slacked on posting the VEDA videos from yesterday and day before. You can catch them on my channel. Or! Here are the individual links: We talked about TV shows (♥ Sex and the City, True Blood, Ally Mcbeal) and things we’re awful at doing.

I’m moving tomorrow at 8 am. I’m not nearly done packing so it might be another late night tonight. There are things I’m going to miss. Living close to most of my local girl friends. It’s really fun to drive just a few minutes and be able to sit in front of the TV with Brandi. I had some great friends who didn’t have to drive too far even though they live just north outside Austin. I’m going to miss my library and seeing Deesh’s brother who works at that branch every other week. I’m going to miss my gas station cashier.

However, I’m also looking forward to starting a new chapter. I’ve only lived with one male roommate ever, and it was Alan. We lived together as platonic friends so it’s kind of neat to now live with him as a boyfriend. I’ve never done this before but I’m excited to learn and grow.

This week’s moments of bliss: ♥ helping Alan pack up his apartment, the conversations and bossing him around were super fun ♥ conversation with my BFF coming up with my Breakfast Club companions ♥ conversation with my coworkers who called me out on stretching all the stereotypes for my Breakfast Club just to have dreamy men around me ♥ email from Brandi reminding me to be selfish sometimes ♥ smartphone! ♥ coffee ♥ waking up 2 hours late and still finding a parking space (typically impossible) and still being on time to work ♥ air conditioning ♥ VEDA ♥ Totes Awesome Channel this week ♥ bubble wrap
