tik tok

People younger than me love getting engaged, in the past week I have learned that 2 individuals (2 years younger and 3 years younger) have gotten engaged. I'm 23 (as of today btw) but my attitude toward marriage is that of a 38 year old woman whose biological clock is ticking, aka I feel I need to be married asap, I guess these kids feel the same way.

all time low...moral wise

From now on I am going to be high maintenance. Recently I was telling my girlfriend, well rather I was bitching to my girlfriend that I feel like I used to be more attractive. Looking at photos from like 2 years ago has put this idea into my head. I realized that I used to wear more make up and go tanning, and wear decent outfits. So from now on, there's no leaving the house w/o make up. Hair must be done, outfits, however, are subject to mood, (IE sweatpants are NOT off limits, I've seen plenty of beautiful people out and about in sweatpants). I'm hoping the time invested will improve how I feel about myself, if not I will try a new approach.

High Maintenance List:
1. hair cut
2. hair color
3. teeth whitener
4. overhaul make up inventory

That ought to do it for now, I have plenty of high heels and purses to get this endeavour started

go ahead, judge a book by its cover, i do it all the time and i'm still alive

On my way back from Oklahoma, my family and I stopped in Kansas to have lunch with my aunt, my dad's sister who was a lawyer but now a supreme court judge. My aunt lives with her "partner", who is not to be mistaken for a woman, the partner is indeed a man, an accomplished physicist and retired math professor. Anyway, we were sitting in the dining room having lunch and I noticed one wall of their dining room is consumed by a bookshelf, crammed with books. I thought this was sooooo cool, until I realized I grew up with the exact same set up. Only, these people have books with stimulating titles like Nuclear Physics, The Sex Atlas, and Are You There Vodka? It's Me Chelsea, plus a compilation of other intriguing titles that make you a divinely interesting individual. In my parents house they have one shelf dedicated to a different series, Nancy Drew, The Babysitters Club, Trixie Beldon, and endless upon endless numbers of romance novels and bibles. In short, I hope my book titles are more engaging when I finally have a book shelf.

I hate that I waste so much time being angry that other people are happier than me.

The person I keep nagging for not having done their Christmas shopping is the one person I haven't bought a gift for yet :s

bonafide bitch fest...deal with it

You know that game called "Would You Rather?" where you have to choose which you would prefer when presented two very unappealing scenarios? Well I have one here:


Would you rather...

1) Suffer from cold sores, (unsightly scabby, crusty, bumps) on your lips and face every few months that last about a week, people never fail to notice and leave scars...

                                               OR

2) Suffer from axillary hyperhydrosis, (sweating excessively) everyday of your life, (this includes large wet marks in the pits of your shirts, deodorant stains on shirts and smelling like an eighth grade boy fresh out of gym class, and a constant wet feeling in the pits of your shirts that you never get used to and people never fail to notice either).

How lucky am I that I don't have to choose? How lucky am I that I was born with both these ailments? How lucky am I that neither of these problems have a known cure?

NOT FUCKING LUCKY AT ALL! THAT'S HOW LUCKY!

I am currently far too pissed off to think about the good things in my life that could out-weigh these two catastrophes, perhaps tomorrow I will have a more thankful post, until then I hate my body and its problems.

home stretch

i'm planning on refinishing an old desk during my winterm, (yes winterm is a real word, in the uw-stout system anyways). the end

priority shipping my ass

I'm waiting for something to come in the mail and priority shipping is a joke, needless to say, it's still not here.

tis the season...for stress

As discussed yesterday final exams begin this week, and at the end of every semester while scrambling for notes and studying I always wonder, "why don't study throughout the semester, that way when exams get here I won't be so stressed" given this is my 9th semester of college and I still don't play by those rules...I probably never will. Bring on the stress.

sleepless in stout

Final exams begin today, I only have three, but I still may die.

the great blizzard of twenty-ten



I know what you're thinking, and no, this is not what happens when you don't move your car all winter, this is what happens when you leave your car parked for 12 hour during a blizzard. 18+ inches in one day, not awesome.



tree hugger

In class today a guy called a girl a tree hugger, not in a good way. Um...it's almost 2011, if you haven't made some move to go green by now you're an idiot.

fifty nifty united states

Thus far I have been in 15 states, it is now my goal to see the other 35 by the time I am 35 years old. A friend told me that was unrealistic...but that just adds fuel to the fire :) I figure I can knock off a few of those little states on the East Coast with one vacation, and Hawaii with my honeymoon. Alaska, I'll have to figure out something for that one.

iSmart

My boss's 2 year old daughter knows how to work her iPhone, I can't even send a text on my boyfriend's touch screen phone...yikes.

so i'm getting an "A" in physics

The fact that I'm getting a 98% in Physics II makes me wonder what all I could have accomplished earlier in life had I just applied myself.

stupid boys

It's getting cold outside, so when I walk to class I wear a jacket, hat, scarf and mittens and I am warm, excellent. Everyday when I get to class the guy who sits next to me goes "you look cold", EVERYDAY! I'm not cold because I'm wearing all this garb you idiot! I have no idea why it's so annoying that this guys thinks I'm cold despite the fact that I'm all bundled up. Moron. Seriously.

every penny counts

Since I live with my boyfriend we split the grocery bill 50/50, we used to mess around with one person paying for all of it at once and then the other gives half the total mount later blah blah blah, doesn't sound like much of a hassle but it was. So I decided that when we check out we'll each take half and that will be the end of it, kind of a "close enough" policy. The first time we tried this method we were within $4, pretty sweet for the first try. The second time I (yes I because I do the sorting) we were within 33 cents! Mind you the sorting takes place in the check out line when the pressure is on, so it has become kind of a thrill trying to get our values as close to equal as possible. Today we got a few things and I took one item from his pile, worth 98 cents, and put it into my pile because I thought his amount was more than mine, but after checking out I realized that if I had left that one item worth 98 cents in his pile, our totals would have been within 2 CENTS of each other!! Needless to say I've been rather depressed since the incident, good thing I was purchasing items to make brownies, brownies that will in turn make my gut bigger so I will have more faith in my gut feeling in the future...ugh.

cinnamon challenge

cinnamon challenge consume 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, tip, don't tilt head back. epic fail

finito!

Last side is finished, went with the grayscale look.

packer colored sides done!

green yellow sides are done, the yellow side is kind of orange too, but oh well, i think the yellow may be my least favorite side, because it is so much lighter/brighter than the other 4 sides. now i just need to decide what color to paint the 6th and final side.

blue!

Should be doing homework, but I couldn't resist showing my progress, the blue side is now complete, and this is what the cube looks like thus far. I'm very excited about this...it's odd I know.

red

The red side is done now, I finished it last night :) I added the purple because I don't think the video showed it very well. 2 down 4 to go, blue, green, yellow/orange and gray (all colors subject to change based on mood)

W.I.P (Work in Progress)

crack

I should have been an Apparel Design major, that way I could design jeans for athletes, girls with big butts and big thighs but a small waist. In order to get jeans that you can fit your legs and butt into, the waist is too large, so whenever you bend over the slightest, your butt crack makes an unwanted appearance. UGH!
