Stress Will Do That To You…

Alright, I’ll admit it. I’m a liar. I haven’t even gotten around to loading the Conor pictures on my computer. I’ve been too busy with homework the past week or so. My boyfriend’s brother keeps repeating the same Jerry Seinfeld joke over and over. “What’s the deal with homework? You’re not working on your home!” I’m excited for everything school related to be over. Summer is only 3 weeks away, it seems so close, yet so far away.

The next big chunk of homework I have should be interesting. Phooka and I dug through the several boxes of pictures her grandparents have in order to find a picture to restore via photoshop.  I’m not sure who this girl is, but the picture is gorgeous!

While nothing new or interesting has been going on in my life, Phooka’s has been quite interesting. This week she’s seen 4 of her exes. (One of which she hasn’t seen in over a year!)  I absolutely hate two of them. Brad the First is just a total asshole. He’s a creeper. Ew.  And the one I hate the most? Zach (the one Phooka discussed in the post with Cockroaches in the title).  He’s evil. Pure.Evil.  I told Phooka that it’s a sign shes seen all of her exes. Like maybe some divine power telling her to take a look at her past relationships before she starts a new one or something like that. What do you think?

Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band

were totally amazing! I have pics and videos from the concert, so I promise to post them later. I also have a few blogs in the works about how to act at a concert ‘n such.

Anyhow, keep a look out for them. I’d imagine they’ll be up by Monday morning. Keep reading and commenting!

Book Time, Time for Books

The lack of updates? That’s my fault I guess. I’ve been devouring P.C. & Kristen Cast’s House of the Night series.

The House of Night Series is similar to a lot of vampire novels that have recently come out; cheesy, yet addicting. The novels do a great job of captivating the reader, but have a problem with understanding said reader. In the fifth book of the series (Hunted) P.C. Cast, the author, continues to repeat unnecessary information to  the reader. By the fifth book, the readers know that Zooey is a vampire, has special gifts, and has boyfriend problems like crazy.

Stupid Love Lines, And the Cockroaches Who Say Them.

Ugh, So let me just say, for those who dont know- I am a hopeless romantic, who will most likely never learn. Hehe the picture will be explained in a second. I have a terrible habit, (Opod can second this) of always believing what an ex or boy who *claims* they like me says. I seem to believe anything.

One ex in particular, who i’ve known since grade school. He has always liked me or so he claims. I didnt realize he was serious until, 10th grade when he decided  to call me everyday when i was at work to ask me out. I always said no because I felt that he was just a friend. Well, after he called me and wrote me letters (which i’m a sapp for) , i decided maybe this was the fairy tale of my dreams, and perhaps hes my prince charming. Maybe, i thought,  ive just been blind this whole time. I tell him, “OKAY, well give it a shot”. The next day (or week i should say) i didnt hear from him for at all. So, i called him and broke it off. Well bla bla bla long story short, i ended up taking him back, listening to his lies, his “im doing laundry for 3 hours” or “im shopping with my mom” (at midnight) lines .

One day he and i were at the mall, and he tells me that he wants to buy me a shirt that says “I’M MY BOYFRIEND’S PLAYSTATION”. Yea, i know what your thinking, “uhh.. what a jerk”. lol Thats what my friends all thought too. he always talked about buying it, but never did, which im glad, i never realized he was just using me.

Great Depression Cooking & More…

Continuing the World Wide Web Wednesday series is Clara and her Depression Cooking channel on Youtube.  She became a big hit a few weeks ago and was featured on many blogs including Gawker and it’s sister sites (Jezebel on Depression Cooking).

Clara is a 93 year old woman who was around during the Great Depression. She’s very charismatic and interesting. If you’re into cooking, history, or just some good old story telling then check out Clara’s videos. (One is featured after the cut!)

Silicone, it’s not just for your breasts.

So lemme just say, I’m in an awful mood. First off, because when i was happily jammin’ out to music, down Dell Range Boulevard (busy street here), and I go to get into the turn lane over by Wendy’s off to the right hand side. Well I saw a blue truck in front of me, slowly creeping up to the light. i had a feeling that if I went past him into the lane, he might just be turning, and run in to me. WELL GUESS WHAT… he does. AND he doesn’t use his turn signal ( MY NUMBER ONE PET PEEVE OFFICIALLY). I had to almost break my ankle slamming on the breaks, and i couldn’t find my horn for some odd reason until a few seconds after thinking to myself, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ASSHOLE DOING?!?!?! And then he just speeds off like nothing happened. OH THE NERVE some people have.

next, I have contacts, and lately I have had many problems with my eyes hurting. i went to the eye doc, and they tell me I need Silicone contacts because they allow more air to reach the eyes and they don’t get so irritated. Well, My insurance ends the end of this month, so i had to hurry up and order my contacts. Well turns out, my Insurance doesn’t even buy them, so i decide Okay, ill just order them anyways. Well my grandpa (being the guy who pays for all my financial stuff) and the uptight old man he is, decides to say that we should go to walmart, not that I really care. But then- he tells me that i should call and get my prescription and make sure that its the cheapest. Well turns out walmart is the cheapest, but my eye clinic does price match and rebates, and my grandpa accused the lady of lying. (this coming from a guy who trusts old hairy men with auto-mechanic places out of their homes to do a good job on cars). So i get mad ‘cus he is accusing her of lying. his exact words were

” they are only going to tell you what they want to tell you, not what you need to hear”

i’m so furious at this point, and THEN he makes ME drive to the eye doc to get my prescription. I understand you pay for my stuff, but be a little reasonable here. Sorry, this one was a little long, but i am in a really bad mood now! lol

well happy Tuesday to you all! i’m going to go study for a math test tomorrow. PEACE OUT!

Don’t Buy New Stuff

If you’ve been reading for a while, you should have noticed that I’m kind of an uber nerd. A few months ago I made (AKA forced) Phooka and my boyfriend to go to a Whomping Willows concert with me.

Now, I can’t get enough of the Harry Potter Alliance Youtube channel where Paul (from Harry and the Potters) and Matt (from the Whomping Willows) took up the challenge of not buying new stuff for the entire year. There are certain rules to their competition, and of course punishments if either of them fail. Check out the first video under the cut if you’re interested.
