Let the Countdown Begin




That's right. T minus 8 DAYS until the final season of LOST!!! Beginning this past fall, I have watched (i know what you're thinking...loser with too much time on her hands, oh well.) every single episode of the series up until the season 5 finale. Maybe I'm a geek, but I had to do something after Nat moved out and I was alone in the apartment in Atlanta. Don't judge me. Throughout my own flashbacks to past episodes, even more questions arose to me for the final season: what the CRAP is the black box, and how did Locke's dad get to the island, only to have Sawyer kill him? What really happened to Rousseau's crew? What do the numbers mean? Who the CRAP is the man in black?...and most importantly, what's the smoke monster? The questions are endless, and the answers will be pouring out in only 8 days! While living with Em and Jonas, we have been having Lost Theory Discussions about what it all means.....most of these discussion end in even more confusion! Here are some of my theories\thoughts:

-Sayid is gonna die...for sure. last we saw him he had a bullet in his gut, he's a dead man!
-Locke is related to Jack, and so are Claire and Widmore (who, if you don't remember, is also Faraday's dad)
-Charlie will come back, just so I can hear Claire scream "Chaaalie, where's my babay!!"
-Christian, Jack's dad who keeps popping up on and off the island, is really the "man in black." He used jack's dad's dead body to find the "loophole", and then switched into Locke's body in order to go kill Jacob. that's the loophole...i think
-Kate will not choose Jack or Sawyer. that's gonna be 1 of the unanswered questions the geeky writers will leave us just to piss us off!
-Richard Alpert will never age..he will always me a middle-aged guy with eyeliner on.

Although I'm really sad to see the show ending, thus leaving me with nothing to do on Tuesday nights at 8pm, I can't freakin wait for the final season! Live Together, Die Alone....

Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes

A lot has changed over the past few weeks. since december 23rd, i have quit my job, moved out of atlanta, moved to nashville, and started graduate school. like i said, a LOT has changed. Em and Jonas have been incredibly generous and supportive by opening their home to me and letting me stay in their guest room until i find a place to live with Danielle, who will be finishing up PT school this spring and getting a job here. The timing has been perfect! I feel completely overwhelmed with how different my life is now compared to just 3 short weeks ago. 3 weeks ago i was living in atlanta, going to work at an advertising agency. now my belongings are scattered between my parents house in knoxville and this guest room in nashville, i had my 1st day of grad school class, and i'm jobless. the word "overwhelmed" almost doesn't give the situation justice. the uncertainty is exciting and frightening at the same time.



it's really nice to be back in a city where i know a lot of people. i get to see 1 of my best friends every single day, i'm about to move in with my best friend from home, and the people who took me in like family in Mexico are a short drive across town. all that definitely makes the transition easier!

i'm anxious to see what nashville has in store for me, and where this new journey is taking me. but most important, i'm anxious to see if i remember how do write papers and read textbooks :)


....because i do love my "top 5" lists:

Top 5 Things I Miss from Atlanta:

1. Mother Tucker: going to movies anywhere else feels like a huge rip-off after paying $5 for every movie i ever saw in atlanta. plus, they served amazing hot dogs :)
2. Apt #3308. that apartment was so awesome and we got a steal of a deal on it.
3. Mykonos Greek Tavern. hands down best hummus i've ever had, and the waitors were always so nice. Nat, Chrissy, and I discovered its greatness way too late, but once we did, we ate it a lot!
4. ummmmm......i dont think i can think of 5 things, i kinda hated atlanta
5. I will miss my friends from 22squared. my buyers were the best and i lucked out as far as bosses and co-workers go. if i could've moved them to nashville with me, i totally would've in a heartbeat.

#1 thing i will NOT miss about altanta? I-85. worst.interstate.ever.
