A Greek Accident After Bowling & Bitchin' Sauce

A few facts...
Fact: Mike Trost can have impressive bowling skills
Fact: I have the ability to beat him in 1 out of 2 games
Fact: Mike Trost had a good radio station recommendation
Fact: Mike Trost became confused in the bathroom, but I was not there to understand why.
Fact: Michelle Johnson does this with her Myspace pictures.
Fact: Michelle Johnson likes to cuddle.
--------------
Today I worked at Hope's Harvest with JDK. It was pleasant. I enjoy working there.
---------------
Today I went bowling with JDK and Mike then ate at Stewy's or something like that. I had A Greek Accident and something with "bitchin' sauce". It was delicious.
----------------
I played bowling with God and JD Dumbass. I didn't make up the names. (A side note is that I published this and then read through it and realized you don't "play" bowling, but rather just "go" bowling...but I thought it sounded funny so I'm apparently leaving it.) End.
-----------------
I work again tomorrow and then play tennis with Tom. I look forward to working with lovely Ana as well as beating Tom in tennis...I won't let him win...I'm just not that nice. Sorry Tom.
------------------
JDK leaves for Boston tomorrow. I'm not sure what I will do in my spare time after work...sooo therefore if you get ahold of me soon enough we could hang out...otherwise I will be spending my nights at home, which is also fine.
-------------------
Hasta Ya Basta.
P.S. The instrumentals in my new song make me smile. =)

Relax

I would like to consider myself a mysterious person to some. Some people call me predictable, but that's just in the basics. I don't want to be predictable because I believe that the right amount of mystery keeps people interested. I wrote a little something that you may or may not choose to solve and that you may or may not be able to solve. I can tell you that there are 4 steps to solving it and I'm so sorry if there are mistakes that make it impossible because there is a chance my computer "corrected" it, BUT I do expect that that didn't happen.

In other news, today was a relaxing day in which I don't have a lot to write about (which is why I thought I would try this).
---------------------
Yesterday was fun. If you weren't there it is a shame. Well, I got called into work randomly and it was super busy and amazing. But other than that if you weren't there it is a shame.
----------------------
Adios! And good luck. I expect you to attempt to solve it at least.

The Undescribeable Will Be Left Undescribed

Nobody could understand the past 2 days unless you experienced them with me & nobody experienced every single moment so these days are left undescribeable. I can put the undescribeable into the shortened version in which you have a general idea.
-----------
-I have two amazing jobs. One completely different than the other. I have uncovered both to be, probably, two of the best jobs in Lake City.
-During the day I work at Hope's Harvest. Tending to the organic regulars and the organic irregulars. I share smoothies with Ana through a tiny straw, recreate my grandmother's coleslaw recipe that she taught me when I was 3, and watch crazy people through the glass.
-During the night I am a ninja at Nosh. Running up and down stairs. Working my way to the top to be a waitress. Hosting in the beginning and being an SA at night. SA during a night where there is a lot of help is survival of the luckiest. I consider myself quite lucky. When I walk out to the patio, a table leaves and is ready to be cleared. When I stand, wet silverware is handed to me to be polished. When I look into the kitchen, food is ready to be delivered. Some unfortunate souls aren't as lucky and hide themselves in the upstairs wait station, only to get shooed out by the experienced ones.
-With whatever time I have left I manage to spend with friends. It has been a mixture of the different groups of my friends the past 2 days. You could say it was similar to the smoothie Ana and I shared. Yesterday I spent time with Jared, Hannah, Riley, and Tiffany then later with Mike, Nicole, and briefly Tom. That night with more randoms at Briana's. Today with mainly JDK.
-I watched a movie that 8/10 people would hate, 1 person would be indifferent, and 1 person would think it was brilliant. JDK and I both thought it was so unusual it was brilliant. So the critic was wrong on his statistic.
------------
I feel as if I am on top of the world. Two weeks ago I was incredibly depressed, but now I feel as if I have everything I could possibly want in this moment of my life: 2 beautiful jobs, amazing friends, a good relationship with my parents, and am currently on good terms with all the people I wasn't. I have also been reading, watching movies, getting into shape, keeping my house and car clean, and preparing for the future. I hope I feel this way the rest of my life.
-------------
-"Usually you expect it to come, but that just flew out of nowhere."
-"That's what she said."
-------------
I sneezed and it was unexpected. End of story.
-------------
The undescribeable parts of my day will be left undescribed and you will be left in mystery, just as I was left feeling at the end of Synechdoche New York...only Wikipedia will not have the answers to your questions as they did mine.

A Day of Productivity

Even amoungst all the dead people I still managed to have an amazing day. People and things die everyday so I can't let that bring me down. Why, it was just today that my beautiful graduation flowers decided to fall over and die, making a dramatic scene on my living room floor.
-------
I've decided the sun wakes up way too early. It woke me up much earlier than I wanted so I was tired most of the day. But, I had a productive day, got a nap in the middle of all the chaos, and then continued my productivity.
--------
I cleaned my car today both inside and out. It also smells amazing. My dad also cleaned his 2 vehicles...he got the crappy car we have so clean that someone stopped to say they have never seen a car so clean and they offered to buy it. My dad and I are both in shock because the car is crap, but it starts and apparently it cleans up well.
---------
I also read almost 100 pages in my book. That's amazing for me considering I have a very short attention span, but the book is good and I want to finish it by Tuesday.
----------
I ran a mile on the treadmill today, like most days...and I got 5 minutes and 50 seconds...that is getting very close to my goal on my list of things to do in my life of getting a mile in 5 minutes or less. By the end of the summer I hope to accomplish that.
----------
In less interesting news I also did 2 loads of laundry and cleaned. It's hardly worth mentioning, but it's all a part of this very productive day during which I made flashcards for my food terms for my waitress test. There are a ton of them. I'm proud.
-----------
Tomorrow I start my new job. It shall be super fun and exciting. I also work at Nosh tomorrow which shall also be fun and exciting...then I will probably do something...haven't thought of what...it's a busy weekend so I'm sure I'll find something. Text me if interest arises.
------------
Why is the letter "i" capitalized when we refer to ourselves? The word "you" is, however, not capitalized. But trust me, I think You are important enough to be capitalized. Things to ponder...I'm not sure if I deserves to be capitalized.
------------
Chow.

I Agree

Today, on this moment that is Wednesday, I had a good day.
---------
I realized that even though summer has been so much fun, it's been going very slow. I realized that my subconscious is a lot smarter than my conscious. I think I have obtained a 3rd job that will be very fun.
---------
Last night I had a conversation with Esteban's best friend. He is hilarious. I like him and would go to Ecuador just to meet these Unknowns I have always heard about. He also taught me some Spanish inappropriate words, but don't worry, our conversation was much more intelligent than that and in English.
----------
I'm sure it's repetitive and annoying, just as I feel. But, Esteban and I are on good terms again...probably will be for a while...and if we aren't I'm officially cutting off all connections. We had a good conversation last night and even though it had it's lame "you deserve it. i'm glad your happy" moments, overall it was a good Friend conversation.
-----------
In other news my dreams are positive again...just a few examples of a beautiful dream I had last night:
-Yellow: If the dream is a pleasant one, then the color yellow is symbolic of intellect, energy, agility, happiness, harmony, and wisdom.
-Love: To dream of being in love implies happiness and contentment with what you have and where you are in life.
-Flowers: To see colorful flowers in your dream, signify kindness, compassion, gentleness, pleasure, beauty, and gain. It is also symbolic of perfection and spirituality. Your dream may be an expression of love, joy and happiness.
------------
According to my dreams I am also in search of love. I'm not sure how that is possible, but I guess it has been in the back of my mind. It's really not a priority at all though, so I'll just leave it in my subconscious...apparently it knows things I don't.
------------
I watched an amazing movie today that is one of my new favorites: Namesake. I recommend it.
------------
I did other stuff too, but to list everything would be lame.
-----------
I work Friday & Saturday...I hope we meet up at that big celebration called Waterski Days...

We're Not in the Playground Anymore...

My favorite bands:
AC/DC, Aerosmith, Architecture in Helsinki, Arctic Monkeys, Audioslave, Beastie Boys, The Beatles, Beck, Belle & Sebastian, Ben Kweller, Blondie, The Blow, Blur, Bob Marley, Cake, Cat Power, Cat Stevens, Citizen Cope, Collective Soul, Death Cab For Cutie, The Decemberists, Disturbed, Eels, Electric Light Orchestra, El Gran Combo, Evans Blue, Eve 6, Feist, Foreigner, Francoise Hardy, Goo Goo Dolls, Gorillaz, Gotan Project, Guster, Incubus, Iron & Wine, Jack Johnson, Jimmy Eat World, Kanye West, Kate Nash, Kimya Dawson, Korn, Led Zepplin, Live, M.I.A., Matt & Kim, Matt Costa, MGMT, Modest Mouse, Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, The New Pornographers, Nine Inch Nails, Of Montreal, The Offspring, Okkervil River, Pearl Jam, Pepper, Pixies, Postal Service, Psapp, Queen, R.E.M., Red Hot Chili Peppers, Regina Spektor, Rise Against, Rush, Sea Wolf, Seether, Shinedown, The Shins, Smashing Pumpkins, Spoon, Steel Pulse, Styx, System of a Down, Taking Back Sunday, Verde 70, The White Stripes, Yael Naim, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, 30 Seconds to Mars, 311
---------------
Music is so beautiful. I think it would be awesome to constantly have background music...it wouldn't have to be loud, just fitting of the mood or a humorous icebreaker. I think Indie/Alternative is my favorite, but I really like everything. Except that country stuff.
---------------
Today was a relaxing day again...it wasn't quite as productive as I had wanted it to be because of the rain, but I still accomplished a lot.
---------------
Esteban annoys the crap out of me...no longer to the point of him trying to talk to me and change my mind...it's actually the opposite...he's being a jerk to me...enough said. I will fix that within the next week. It's no wonder I have a heart of ice now...I don't want something like this to happen again. And this thing called love blinds people from the bad...ugh and now I wonder what would have happend if I would have made a move on that other guy I had a crush on before Esteban or just not even dated anyone. Who really cares though...drama is lame...and I'm not living a Daytime Soap Opera...or one of those crazy Telenovelas.
----------------
Tomorrow I go to check my work schedule at around 4ish...if you are bored you must text me and so long as they didn't randomly put me in the schedule for a Wednesday, we must spend some quality time. Any type of quality time.
-----------------
Adios

Captian Morgan & Sailor Jerry

Trains are ridiculous sometimes. I had a long wait. A train parked it's carts right in front of the 2 major railroad crossings of Lake City. I waited around 15 to 20 minutes before I went exploring to find a way around. I found one. I got around. Only to be on the other side and see the train still sitting there. I feel sorry for the lame people that waited or are still waiting.
---------
Today was productive in it's own way. I read my book. Studied my food. Ran a mile in 6:32. Watched some independent short films. Bought a bike. Studied my alcohol. Ate delicious organic at Hope's Harvest. Spent time with 2 of my best amigos. Had a nice walk. Lots of good laughs.
---------
I officially think I'm ready for my waitress test. I'll do it sometime next week if they think that's okay.
---------
I wish I could meet up with someone that I only knew for a year in first grade. He was the first guy I ever had a crush on and the first guy that ever had a crush on me. I continued to think about him for the longest time. I looked for him on facebook, but had no success. Perhaps someday we will meet up, but I don't want to be disappointed with what he has become...I hope he has a good life. Perhaps this dream I have is better. I wonder who I will end up with. Hmm...oh well...right now I don't think people would find me as the best girlfriend in the world. Give me time.
--------
Tomorrow will be a good day again. Not a good day as far as spending time with friends, but rather I have a lot I want to do...fix my car, wash my car, read my book, run, download music, and I'm sure there was other stuff, but it is not available to remember now...despite that tomorrow shall be productive.
--------
I hope the stars are as beautiful in your sky as they are in my sky...

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Today was the opposite of yesterday.
---------
Yesterday I hardly saw my family, but spent most of the day with my friends.
Today I spent the entire day with my family.
Yesterday I worked.
Today I just relaxed.
Yesterday I smiled a lot.
Today I smiled a little.
Yesterday was productive.
Today I planned how productive tomorrow will be.
---------
Tomorrow I am buying a bike. I'm very excited.
---------
Tomorrow Seattle is Official. Tickets will be purchased.
---------
God, I have so many things I want to accomplish this summer...I wonder how many of them I will actually do.
---------
Yesterday was an amazing day.
Today was a relaxing day.
Tomorrow will be a productive day.
----------

One-Hundred and Zero

100 blogs ago I started blogging.
100 blogs ago was a completely different time.
Oh well, I'm better off...and I'm that much closer to August.
I'm still not ready for August, but I'm getting there.
I have a 30 day plan.
It will take 30 days...and I'm 3 days into it.
Do the Math.
--------
It is currently 1:08 and there is no sign of sleep.
I hate sleep.
I'll say it again and again.
I'm watching The Mask of Zorro...which is surprisingly different from what I have so far read of Zorro. It is definately one of my favorite books.
--------
It is currently 1:12.
I may not be sleeping,
But my mind isn't clear enough for this to make a lot of sense.
---------
I wonder things
About people
The End

Hannah is My New Title Picture! Enjoy!



My feet are dirty.
My party was a success.
----------
I love my friends.
---------
If they ever wrong me I have many embarassing pictures to blackmail them. Actually, I'll just put them up and embarass them anyways.
----------
Work was good too. I work again tomorrow. I also received my first tips...whooo!
----------
I was told I should host more parties. I think I might...not quite as planned out as this one...but it shall definately happen again this summer.
----------
Have a good night!
And enjoy my pictures.
271 of them and these are my favorites (Tom: I'll get you tomorrow...there's too much embarassment to pick from):

DRA-MAT-IC VOICEEEEE!

Guess what?
I had an AMAZING day.
And by AMAZING I mean my stress level was at 0.
===========
-I woke up at 10.
-Ran what I use to (it killed me, but I did it).
-Ate healthy.
-Cleaned my room.
-Figured out my work schedule.
-Figured some other things out.
-Spent some wonderful time with my friends...including some unusuals...and by unusual I mean people I like a lot, but aren't my usuals.
==========
I'd say my life is back on track.
==========
In other news I work tomorrow...ha...In other news part 2 I'm hosting a bonfire tomorrow. What's this? Complications? Oh well, what's new. I think I get off at 6 though...I hope I get off at 6...I hope I hope I hope I get off at 6. I also hope it doesn't rain...bleh...as much as I love a good thunderstorm...it shall not rain on my fire.
===========
I played Rock Band for the first time ever...I've never even seen this game in action (lame I know)...the images I had in my head were much more exciting, but it was still fun anyways. Until Mehmet came...then the energy just died. Like him, but his energy is a downer.
=========
I also watched Mike play Super Smash Brothers on Wii. Pretty EX-CIT-ING *dramatic voice* It had lots of explosions and stuff I didn't understand, but I enjoy video games to a certain extent.
=========
I'm catching up on the So You Think You Can Dance episode I missed today...god, I love that show...I have a slight (and by slight I mean slight) crush on Johnathan and this other dark haired dreamy. Don't worry...it won't work out.
===========
To Tom:
I'm taking French next year so I will soon understand your silly translations. I also hope we hang out more because it sounds like you've been insanely lame. I will see you tomorrow.
============
Perhaps I will be seeing the rest of you tomorrow as well...besides those unlocals. Thank-you to all who contributed to my amazing day today. =)

Bring on the Thunda

A waste of time.
--------
That was what today was...
--------
I enjoyed So You Think You Can Dance and later sitting outside to watch the lightning.
--------
I love thunderstorms. I love driving in a nice rain. I didn't drive today, nor did I enjoy my drive in the rain yesterday, but generally speaking it's one of the most relaxing things ever.
--------
I'm frustrated with work. I feel like I'm failing even though I have done almost nothing wrong. I have higher expectations of myself than I am fulfilling. I love my job, but hate how it's been. I haven't worked since Saturday and that was extra busy...I really want more time to prove myself...I haven't been an S.A. since I first started and I feel like I need the practice. I've had numerous nightmares about everything I fear. I translated some of these fears on a dream website...this is what they came up with:
----------
~To dream that you are late, denotes your fear of change and your ambivalence about seizing an opportunity. You may feel unready, unworthy, or unsupported in your current circumstances. Additionally, you may be overwhelmed or conflicted with decisions about your future. You feel time is running out and that you do not have time to accomplish all the things you want.
~To see a mess in your dream, symbolizes the state of your waking life. You need to get your life in order.
~To dream that you are under stress, reflects the stress that you are experiencing in your waking life. The stress has carried over into your dream state. Even in your sleep, you may be unable to relax. The dream may call attention to setbacks, obstacles, self-doubts, criticism that you are facing in some waking situation or relationship. You are on the verge of breaking down and need to take some leisure time off to distance yourself from these issues.
---------
These ideas came from 2 different dreams, both dealing with my job. In one I dreamed I was 13 minutes late which therefore lead me to be fired. In another Ankur was gone and I had to run the bar. I had some unexpected guests that stole some of the liquor as well as broke and spilled everything. In both dreams I had a crazy amount of stress. I even woke up from the dream I got fired in a cold sweat, breathing really heavy, and ready to cry. Everything the website said is EXACTLY how I feel.
----------
I want August to come so bad. It's an exciting month where I will know exactly how things are in my job, I'm taking a trip to Seattle with which I will have the opportunity to escape the stress of a lot of other things in my life, I will also be experiencing more indepence and getting ready for collge. Though, I don't feel like I'm prepared for the month of August. I have way too much to do, and I'm not in the state of mind to handle August.
---------
I missed volunteering at the library yesterday, it completely slipped my mind...or at least I lost track of the date.
---------
Starting tomorrow it is a new month...not for the rest of the world, but for me. It shall be called Junly. I've been trying to work out more, but have found I am completely out of shape...screw that, tomorrow is day 3 and I'll get back to my usual. I'm also sticking to eatting healthier. BK twice in 12 hours just isn't okay...I've hardly had BK twice in my life...let alone twice in 12 hours. I've also been kind of a downer on myself...that has to stop...because I know so long as I get back into things everything will work out. These are just a few of my many goals for the new month of Junly.
----------
I must not stay up past 1 and not wake up later than 10...I have been ridiculous. I apologize because that's not me...
This is though...with my amigo Mike:

Damn, it's raining outside... =)

Hangover

For a day that was actually overall very good I realized some depressing things.
-----
I've always wanted to prove some people in my life wrong...more than a healthy amount actually.
-----
I've always wanted to prove that I have changed. I no longer want to be shy, quiet, or a follower. I'll probably always be those things a little bit, but I've always been really determined to change those things. I don't want to be sterotyped...and I realized that my goal by senior year of completely changing this never really happend.
-----
The only thing I really want out of life is respect. Someday I would like people to listen because I've gone all my life using humor as my way of communicating when I feel defeated. There's things that I like about this method and things that I hate. I like it because it keeps me from drama and people thinking things are worse than they actually are...because I hate arguements. Besides my parents I've only been in arguments with about 3-4 people...and they were minor arguments. The bad thing about my method is you can confuse my sarcasm with my defeated mood. I find it difficult for anyone to truly understand the difference, but I hope that if they're around me enough they'll learn.
-------
I hope someday I can show how much intelligence I really have. How strong of a person I really am. That I do have the ability to stand in front of a group of people and give a good presentation or make people laugh. How much talent I really have and that someday people will have a conversation with me and not have to argue with it or have an opinion, but just look at me and say "yeah...you're right" or something along those lines. I like a good debate, but I haven't actually had a moment where I've really felt truly respected. Someday perhaps...
--------
On a lighter note...I really did have a good day. I was in a really good mood for 90-95% of it...and I also saw a hilarious movie that I can actually remember and use quotes from. Not to mention I saw a person who actually said, "Is that frickin' Little Miss Sunshine? She actually looks like a frickin' member of society."
--------
I need a sodapop...

Tigers love pepper...

They hate cinnamon...

Foe-Toes



















Day 2

Did you know 3 of my friends are on the Master Cleanse?
Did you know that whenever I go to eat I think of them not eatting?
...Which therefore leads me to think of starving kids in Africa
...Which therefore leads me to think of my 3 friends next to starving kids in Africa.
I really don't need to experience the Master Clease...unless they figure out that it does something amazing in the end, because I have already begun eatting healthier because the image I get before I go to eat really doesn't make me desire anything I don't need. Except for yesterday at Nicole's grad party...when I consumed about 5-10 of her desserts...they tasted good, but really weren't satisfying. Anyways...they have 8 more days...but I'm sure it will take a while before I get this image out of my head.
----------------
I also realized that when I go to town I hang out with 1 or both of my 2 main people. They are both on this Master Cleanse. I also realized that when I go to town I usually eat with them...I will be doing no such thing. I might eat around them, or away from them when they are in the area, but eatting WITH them is not an option. Oh well.
---------------
Yesterday I went to Nicole's with Mike. It was fun. Not GREAT fun, but I enjoy him and Nicole and Scott. I'm not a fan of people that don't understand how to start a fire. Or people that don't understand English grammar or Intelligent humor. Oh well. I know they are nice people because I used to be good friends with 2 of them.
---------------
Today I took a lazy day. I made a list of things to do though because otherwise I would get bored and I did most of my list. So I finished all my thank-yous and tomorrow I will be addressing them and then mailing them. I was pretty anti-social today though...unfortunately my mom was social. We didn't mix very well, but no major arguments were created. I have so much stuff on my mind it depresses me...I wish all my problems were solved...but I've discovered that's impossible so I will take one day at a time.
---------------
If you want to get me out of my house tomorrow...please do...but I need a good excuse to drive and waste gas...so come up with an awesome idea and then call or text me. =)

Or lahy-lak?

Blah Blah Blah The Squirrels Are Fighting

I saw the University of Minnesota for the first time between yesterday and today. It is so beautiful...I'm satisfied with my blind guessing in a college. My schedule is awesome. Thursdays will be my favorite day of the week...Mondays and Wednesdays will be a little on the crazy side. I am double majoring in Spanish and Psychology.
-----------------
I am taking:
Beginning French
Intro. Psychology
Humanities in the West I
Spanish 1003
-----------------
I met a friend and a half...I say half because I can't remember his name...but we carried on a lengthy conversation and it was nice.
-----------------
I also met a girl named Gina. Gina is quiet, has a sweet haircut that got her to a competition in L.A. She likes German and History, and um...well that's the important stuff. I can almost guarentee I won't see her again, but at least I know I'm capable of meeting people. It was nice that I was super tired and her personality is kind of like the tired version of me...just the fact that she's quiet and unenthusiastic. We both can't sing or dance either (or so she says...we never did find out), we didn't exchange a lot of words, but we did hang out the whole time, roomed together, and we both looked at each other funny when our group leader mentioned a singing war game. But, that's enough about her...perhaps we will meet up again someday...perhaps not.
------------------
I also noticed at the U of M that there are a lot of Lake City look-alikes.
I met:
-Ashley Eichelberger's close to identical twin
-Ashley Hans & Michelle Dick's combination (with a spice of the Bobbi Falde face)
-Terence Pettis's close to identical twin with matching personality & football skills
-Tommy Keller's curly haired twin complete with polo & computer in hand
-What would you get if you put Ms. Mgrath (or however you spell it), Laura Berktold (with extra length to her hair and an aged face), and a little bit of loca con ADD into a blender and shaped the contents into human form. She is my advisor.
-Kaliee Draz with an oval shaped face instead of a heart shaped face
------------------
I have a new favorite ice cream flavor (imagine whirled peace). I have a slight crush on 2 guys on So You Think You Can Dance (don't worry I won't be a loser about it). I learned about Diversity, STDs, and Rape complete with STD dance. My advisor randomly inserts comments about squirrels & birds into the conversation, she also watches a live video of a sleeping dog that doesn't move...she's a bit ridiculous...her name is Claudia. The U has some strong crazy liberals that have tainted viewpoints. Some of their arguments were good with the stuff they have actually experienced, but their view on alcohol was a little awkward.
---------------------
Tomorrow I am a ninja. I might miss people's grad parties. Hope you aren't too disappointed.
------------------
Sweet Dreams to you. I can't wait to ACTUALLY have sleep =) & God I've been eatting terrible...a health diet is on my way for the sake of not killing myself with crap.
Ciao!

To See the U for the First Time...

Today was a good day.
---------
I slept in really late because I stayed up till 3 watching Anastasia and doing laundry. But, that meant I had less to do today and it worked.
---------
As far as Grad Thank-Yous...I did 3. I didn't have the creative vibe and I didn't want to write anything stupid. They will get done Saturday. I promise.
---------
After I did the lame stuff such as finishing laundry and writing thank-yous, I played Super Nintendo again with my mom. Pretty sure my cousin brought those games back to life and I will be playing them a bit more than usual.
----------
Then I went to Lake City with my mom because I had been craving a certain kind of tea from Hope's Harvest. She got her meat from Huttels and gas from Kwik Trip...then I showed her Hope's Harvest, introduced her to Nathan, and then she got some coffee and tea. It was a good time. Then while we were there I decided to give her a tour of Nosh because she had never been there. She wants to take my aunt from New York there.
---------
Tonight I spend the night at Mike's house and then tomorrow we are going to the cities for Orientation at the U of M. I'm really excited. I want a good schedule. I don't really care what days I have class or even if I have a lot of classes...I just want classes that aren't boring for my 1st Semester so I can get into the studying vibe. I also want to sign up for French...it would help me in a variety of ways...plus it's so beautiful. =)
----------
Anyways I won't be back until Friday sometime. So hopefully you don't miss me too much.
---------
So You Think You Can Dance is on tonight...it is one of few reality shows I will admit to truly loving...I wish I could dance...someday perhaps.
---------
Goodbyeeee

How Good of Quality is Your Quality Time?

Nuns are so much nicer when their mouths aren't letting out words.
-----------
Today turned out to be a good day. I think if I would have stayed home I would have became super bored and ended up being in a bad mood, but this is not the case. Except for a little frustration in the Esteban department, but that is hardly worth having any emotion toward so I really don't care.
------------
Esteban wrote me an email that said I shouldn't be so "ingrata" (unpleasant) and that I should write to him sooner. The truth is I was the last one to leave him a message on facebook so that is a lie that I haven't wrote him and that I am being unpleasant...whatever I suppose...he can think what he wants. Things like this allow me to assure myself I made the correct decision.
------------
In other news of my life...someone did take the invitation of spending quality time and it did work out. I would give the quality of this time 4/5 stars. I went to Mike's and we took his dog on a walk to Subway...ate there...walked back. Sat in his basement and watched tv...spent about an hour fighting over the better blanket...which was a good time. We laughed at ridiculous people on the television...including a nun from Arkansas that shouldn't have an entire 1/2 hr. block to ramble on about ridiculous subjects, stupid people that get 100,000 for either being cute or incredibly stupid, Paris Hilton and her "BFF" search, famous murders, Scrubs, The Simpsons, and Family Guy. It was a good time.
-------------
Now I came home to start some chorse and MAYBE start some thank-you cards...but I'm not sure about that yet...I'm pretty tired.
--------------
God, I hate those Prius commericals...the babies creep me out. They have a new one. Bleh.
-------------
"Not correcting your children is the worst mistake you can make in your life." But, keep drinking that alcohol, smoking those cigarettes, and continue that affair you're having with Mr. Expensive Pants across the street. Just as long as you correct them damn children. The nun said only the quote...but seriously? The WORST mistake? Doubtful. Maybe 1998 when this particular episode was filmed was an easier time, but I doubt it.
--------------
When the tree didn't give Jesus figs he cursed it and it died. How does that man make you feel?
---------------
Tomorrow will be some quality work time...but not the fun kind. The kind where you stay at home and do annoying tasks. Thursday is U of M Orientation!!! I'm excited.
Hasta Later.

SleepLess

Last night before I went to bed I thought about a world without sleep. What if we felt more refreshed after being busy & the more we applied ourselves the more refreshed we felt? Every day at the same time everyone in the world could take an hour nap and this would be enough to keep us going and our bodies healthy. Think how much we could get done...and think how much we would enjoy it if it meant feeling that feeling of a refreshing sleep. We could have 2 jobs, spend more family and friend time and even get that time to ourselves. Maybe I just like that idea because it's so difficult for me to fall asleep and stay asleep.
-----------
Today I slept in after having a difficult time falling asleep and then spent the last hours with my cousin except that's a lie because he came back about 5 minutes ago to get a sweatshirt he had forgotton here...he brought his girlfriend I had never met. She seems really nice.
----------
The rest of the day included time at Hope's Harvest and work. I took my S.A. test, and although it was harder than I thought, there was really only about 4 questions where I wasn't confident in my answers. I suppose it will be corrected soon and then I can get tips my next time I work.
-----------
It seems I can't think of anything else to say...so I will say that I do not have any fun plans tomorrow so if you believe that we should spend some quality time together then text or call me with your ideas and we will see if they work out.

My Cousin Uses Facebook Only For a Farm Application

I played Super Nintendo classics with my cousin from South Dakota. He has my kind of humor...dry and sarcastic. He was impressed with my video game abilities...I am now watching my mom and him play a different game...kind of lame, but whatever.
--------
Today I was successful in going to the amount of grad parties I said I would...except it was 5 and not 4...so that's a lie. I'm sick of grad parties. Nice, but I really don't need an excuse to hang out with the people I like...or an excuse to eat way more than necessary.
-------
Tomorrow I shall be a Ninja at Nosh. I also take my test to become an Server's Assistant...then study to take my food/alcohol test to become a waitress...whooo hoo tips.
---------
Sometimes I wonder who reads my blog besides my friends and what they think about me. My only goal is for this not to be a borefest.
---------
I saw some major ipod touching going on at Mike's...mainly because everyone seems to have an ipod touch now and they use them all the time. Oh well... I also met someone that had several different impressions throughout the day...she makes me laugh & even though I think she thinks she's cooler than she might be I still don't think she's that bad. I'll probably never see her again....so that is that.
-------
I'm tired.
But I won't go to bed.
Just like yesterday and going to bed at 4:30.
Hasta later.

Gracias for Cheering Me Up Without Being Here

Lorda Lorda Lorda I have much to say. This not only included the past 2 days, but just the past 1/2 hour...I just went through a crazy emotional deal that started out almost bursting into tears then wanting to hug every person that came to my grad party one more time.
-------
The tears part is because I couldn't find my check. I realized that I was really careless because I became distracted. This will not happen again. I found it underneath the seat in the middle. I would have cried hardcore tears if I would have found out that it had blown out my door when I wasn't looking...because it was my first check from Nosh...god I would have cried...but I found it so therefore cried no tears...
-------
After the anger that came from the carelessness I decided that I would open grad cards to cheer myself up...and god did that seriously cheer me up. Not only at the grad party did I realized that I have amazing family, friends, and those people you feel weird calling your friends because they are 15+ years older than you but really they are your friends. My favorite message written in the card was from my godmother because she is amazingly nice and good with words and has amazing handwriting, then my cards from my friends that I work with from Mexico because they are very sweet as well, and then a card that sang and completely scared the crap out of me because it is dead silent in my house and my mind was wandering. My favorite card just based on the card said: "Stop. Set down the pencil. You're Done. Congratulations." I'm not sure why I liked it so much, but I really did.
-------
I know you probably don't care about all that because you wouldn't understand, but it really did cheer me up...not only because I got way more money than I was expecting to, but because I have amazing people in my life.
-------
At my grad party I was glad a few of my friends came...I didn't want everyone there today, but just those 4 were a delightful surprise. I also translated a complete conversation between an amiga and my grandmother. My grandma doesn't speak Spanish at all, but she decided that since this woman could say "How are you?" that she would carry on an entire conversation with her even though that was the basis of this woman's English. I was glad to be successful and realized that majoring in Spanish is a very good idea for me because I really do love it. My amiga's son Steve is amazingly cute too...the 2nd cutest baby I've ever seen in my life and that is a huge compliment coming from me (not because I know a lot of cute babies but because I don't refer to them as cute often).
---------
Even though my past 2 days may have been more interesting than all this stuff I just rambled on about, I will summarize very quickly because I'm tired and can't think.
---------
-First, completely forgot what was so interesting about 2 days ago, so I'll just skip that.
-Second, today: woke up to the sound of my mom's friend, found my mom to be in a shockingly good mood for a party day, had a wonderful grad party, attended Ashley, Sierra, and Kevin's party, picked up my paycheck and delivered some cake to my Nosh people, hung out at Kevin's, went to Perkins, freaked out about almost losing my phone, freaked out about almost losing my paycheck, opened grad cards, became happy, wrote this, and after this we will see.
----------
Tomorrow I plan to attend 4 grad parties & travel with Hannah and JDK.
----------
Seriously, super happy with everything (except for temporary carelessness)

Party Party Party

My parents are both in a weird state of mind. The kind where my mom turns on Sponge Bob and then they both look through a scrapbook I made in elementary school and refer to me as "a very intelligent and talented child". My mom says "awwwwww" a lot....I guess she's a mom and her only daughter is leaving in a few months...I'm just not an "awwwww" type of person.
-----------
I feel like I'm bragging about everything I've done between the time I came out of my mother and now...I'm not a fan of bragging, but I suppose this is the exception. I can't wait till this thing is over. Then I can finally stop getting asked "Where are you going to college?" and "What do you plan to study?" or at least have those questions come up less often. We have enough food to feed 75 people...we will get about 40 people. My parents are looking forward to meeting Peggy and Susan.
-----------
I get my first paycheck tomorrow. I am super duper excited for that. I also received the information for the food part of the waitress/server test...now I need to study study study. Nathan Frye quizzed me on my alcohol knowledge at Hope's Harvest. I made flashcards...they are the weirdest flashcards I have ever made. They have the words Gin, Vodka, Draft Beer, Imported Beer, Ice Tea, Water, Scotch (etc.) on them and then the brands that Nosh has. I need to learn them all. Nathan was helpful.
--------------
I got my karaokee on last night. That can mean one of two things...or at least when I'm talking to Tom. I participated in neither of those action's last night, but I did watch some people sing. All I have to say about that is good job Nathan Frye & that country should be banned from everywhere except rodeos & the South. Did you know refills at Applebees are free?!?! I didn't...the waitress laughed at my face when I found that out...and so did Tom.
--------------
I burned my thumb at work lighting candles....it hurt. Other than that work was good. After work JDK and I took a walk...it was a nice walk...good conversation was exchanged. Then I went home and decorated.
--------------
The moon was awkward tonight. It had a haze over it and the clouds made it look distorted...I wish I could take an overnight "cruise" to the moon...only without all that lame protective suit stuff. Imagine the view, the stars, and the feeling of floating. That would be awesome.
--------------
Mike helped me figure out really cool things my camera can do. I sense that I will have a bunch of cool pictures to show soon.
--------------
I will be seeing my amigos tomorrow as well as the family I rarely see. My cousin might be staying overnight...he's fun & the reason I'm so good at SuperMario World.
--------------
Whooooo ParTAY!

It's an Indie, Reggae, Alternative Sort of Day

HellOLA.
--------
I've been downloading A LOT of new music over the past few days and have discovered some new favorite bands and some new favorite songs. I put some of them in my playlist so you can hear...others I just prefer to keep for myself. Looking at my playlist I also realized that I keep it to pretty much one genre. My taste in music includes almost everything though (except country). It really depends on my mood and the weather. Today is definately an Indie, Reggae, and Alternative sort of day.
--------
Today has not been as productive as I would have liked it to be, but I still have lots of time. I also have fun plans for tonight.
--------
I'm really looking forward to my grad party being over...the bonfire I'm having should be fun...I look forward to that...but this Saturday is my family classic grad party...it shall be pretty lame...you are welcome to come to my house between the hours of 1-4 on the 6th day of June...I didn't invite any of my friends to this, but I change my mind now and the amigos that read my blog are invited because you are some of my favorites...I think?
---------
Anyways...I will begin the work of today and prepare for the fun.
---------
I love Music. One day soon I shall make a list of my favorite bands...

Annoyance is Annoying

Today I talked briefly about my biggest annoyances with a friend. I didn't know that that conversation would be a foreshadowing to my mother doing almost every single one of them.
---------
If I were to make a list my pet peeves would include:
-Repeating Myself, Not Being Able to Get Out a Complete Sentence
-High Voices, Screaming Girls, Bad Grammar
-People Asking Too Many Questions
-People Hovering In My Space
-People Telling Me I'm in a Bad Mood, Crabby, or Mean
-Cracking Fingers
-People Who Chew While Talking, Chewing with Your Mouth Open
---------
I guess I have quite a few pet peeves. Though most of them are pretty simple to not have happen. Somehow my parents don't know how to deal with them & they still haven't learned them after over 18 years.
---------
Today I made a picture collage for my graduation party. I didn't know I was such a cute baby...I had really black fuzzy hair. I wish it would have stayed that color. I also loved posing for the camera.
---------
Today I spent time with JDK and Hannah. It was nice to see Hannah when we aren't in school or aren't in a large group, because I don't see her a lot. I hope we can hang out more often.
----------
I also worked today. That always brightens my day. I love being a ninja & I love talking with Ankur.
----------
I'm kind of in a bad mood because of my parents being annoying so this probably won't be inspirational at all. Tomorrow will be a good day...today was a good day too I suppose...just not now...not now at all.
----------
Hope you are having a lovely evening & I will habla with you luego.

Mon Amie La Rose

My home has been used for a transition between days...otherwise I have been spending almost all day in Lake City for a week or two now. I really enjoy that and my friends. I find I have no hate list because I only spend time with the people I like...and I find myself enjoying every single one of my friends.
---------
Yesterday on my way home I hit a bug with my car in the dark of night. I'm almost sure it was a bug, but when it hit, it made a noise as loud as hitting a bird. I hope it was a bug. God, I hope it was a bug.
---------
In the past few days I have graduated, sat around a bonfire in the rain while holding an umbrella, went to grad parties, had an amazing day at work, enjoyed an amazing dinner at NOSH with my two favorites, ran, read, and downloaded a crap-ton of music.
---------
Today I really did close to nothing, but yet I accomplished everything I wanted to...I had a few invitations to hang out with people...which I really wish I could attend...but I guess it's good to have a break...I guess. I seem to have liked the idea better in the morning, but I have convinced myself it is a good thing...it is.
--------
I have a headache now so I'll make this short...hopefully I can come up with something more inspirational another day...
--------
"Mon Amie La Rose" is a song by Francoise Hardy. It's in French and not something everyone would like, but god, you know those French accents make everything sound good. There's a youtube video if you are curious.
