I’m on my way to Chicago! (Cue Vicky from Real Housewives yells now.)
ILLINOIS (eventually)
So after 13 hours (no exaggeration) of airport fun-ness, I finally made it from Tampa to Bloomington. I arrived at the airport yesterday morning at 7 AM, eastern time, for my 9 AM flight, because, well, my dad said it wouldn’t hurt to get there that early. My trip has two parts - one flight to Atlanta, then on to Bloomington. First flight is fine, until we land. There was a bunch of traffic...
Good morning, tumblbees, from TIA. (I have never wished so badly to have my computer with me than right now, when an announcement was made that the terminal had free wi-fi. Thank goodness for phones, though, right?)
An Unfortunate (sort of) Update
To the Hoag Household’s Christmas Garage Dance Party partygoers:
Unfortunately, no pictures will be posted until the New Year/when I get back from Illinois, because I left the connector-thingy-ma-bob (that’s the scientific name for it, right?) for my camera in my apartment.
I AM SO SORRY. (Especially to you, Will - hopefully your new set of beanie/shirtless pics can tide you over til...
Testing out this mobile tumblr thing. Oh, this is going to be awesome.
MERRY, MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS TUMBLBEES
My brother, sisters, and I are all currently sitting in the living room with our laptops taking turns playing songs from our playlists. (How 2008 are we right now?)
Some highlights (meaning, dancing and group singing occurred):
The Beatles “Back in the USSR”
Beyonce “Single Ladies”
Mariah Carey “All I Want for Christmas (Is You)”
I hope this goes on for a...

Internet - stop being interesting, please
I have things to do, and you aren’t helping.
I am completely fed up with the Orange County...
Yesterday, I was caught in a speed trap on an I-4 exit ramp. Did anyone know they could do that? Catch you for “speeding” when you’re on a piece of road meant for you to slow down on? I did not know that. I also did not know that they could use a radar gun from 1,076 feet away to get you right as you come off the highway. When I saw the group of cops on the side of the road and...
Selling back textbooks is one of the biggest jokes...
On procrastination
Me: Why don't you do the [school assignment that had been, until recently, forgotten about] now and get it out of the way?
Will: I don't know of if I'm going to do it. I mean, right now I'm putting off peeing.
Origin of the "Disney" Name: d'Isigny
Walt’s ancestors were named d’Isigny, and came from Isigny-sur-Mer in Normandy, France. They moved to a village in Lincolnshire, England now named Norton Disney.
(I have wondered that for so long!)

Video of my 21st birthday party. It is sad that our dancing was that bad, and yet none of us were drinking haha
Our dancing was BEAUTIFUL.
