oh, can i contribute?!?

ok, so with that whole chivelry thing right...

now by (e:ajay) 's comment, about guys no longer being able to sweep ladies off their feet; is it implying the ladies are getting too big, or the guys getting too weak? cuz a guy in my classes the other day called me a "big woman" (and of course i kicked him for it) but he is 2 inches shorter than me and about the same weight. so how's he saying im big, that's just his frame of reference, he's just a little man ;) (so he deserved the kick)

what ever happened to the bigger boys who could sweep any girl up and off her feet??? ;)

and for the holding doors thing, everyone, girls and boys, hold doors it seems, am i wrong??? but i do have a friend, Ricardo, who will NOT let a girl hold the door for him, and whenever he's holding the door, the girl has to walk in first as he is holding it... and i have to admit the first time i had this "door encounter" with him, it was quite awkward, we were trying to talk as we were going in, but with all the door commotion, i got soo distracted and totally forgot what we were talking about... but with him, i know it's just how he was raised... to always respect the ladies;) Go Ricardo!!! hehehehe

but what's with the walking in front of or behind people??? i always thought it was nice to just walk next to the person you are with ;)

look at that second had go!

a few days ago my watch died :( and i was so sad, but finally today i got a chance to run to the store to get a new battery put in it :) but when i told them that i just had a new one put in over the summer they told me that something is wrong with the watch (no kidding) :(, and i have to send it in to the fossil people to get fixed. But i need it now!!! there's a engineering career fair on wed that i NEED a watch for, it's absolutly a necessity of mine!!! ;)
but i left the fossil store and on my way out of the mall, i was walking through what used to be Burdines, "The Florida Store" then Burdines-Macy's, and now somehow siimply just Macy's... what ever happened to "the florida store"??? oh yeah, so i figured i have a credit card (that goes back to my mom!!!) for this store, well it's for Burdines-Macy's but it's gotta still work, and my birthday is kinda coming up, kinda, in a few months... so i, well she got me a birthday present!!! thanks mom!!! its nothing special, but it was relatively cheap yet i guess i could play it off as being nice and dressy, so here it is!!! and what's even better, Look at that second hand go!!! (again, probably more exciting actually looking at it and seeing it go!!! ;)

what time is it???

oh, :( my watch battery died :( it happened at 2:48 pm. i feel like such a moron, i was messing around before i had to go to class, all the while not realizing that it was getting pretty darn close to class time and i was way across campus... good thing i looked at my phone 10 minutes before class started though, just enough time to jump on the shuttle and get to class. but I'm still sad about my little watch :( i just changed the battery last year in april... i didn't think watch batteries die that fast. maybe it's time to get a new watch ;) this one is a banged up and all... well, we'll see. but here it is, it's a little more dramatic in motion being as the second hand isn't moving, but you can get the idea from the pic... the second hand isn't moving :( none of the hands are :(

Valentine's Day

Valentines Day...

Yeah, whatever, I never do anything on Valentine's Day. Just a silly day I guess, but here are a few things for the big day:

So I flipped my day calendar and this popped up to remind me of valentines day, just in case I forgot that it was today (actually it has been helpful informing me of such days as groundhog's day, I totally forgot about that one)

image

Ok, so that was the little cartoon for today, "I need to really get a life when the only valentine I get is from my dog..." well hell, I didn't even get a valentine from my dog. But I did get one from my parents:

image

So instead of a loving little message, I get a card telling cupid to stay away from me, geez, come on now...

And then to end this little thing, I thought I'd throw in a few pictures of these heart shaped boxes of chocolate I picked up at the store the other day. I thought they were really cute and had to get them, aside from the fact that I have noone to give them to. They are probably gonna go to my roommates. (I had contemplated keeping them for myself, but we all know I don't need em...) oh, so here they are (cute, eh?):

oh, and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! ;)

What would you do?

Wow, I haven't heard that song in forever! It was huge back in the summer before my freshman year of college (2001) somehow my summer rowing team adopted that song as our own anthem that year, as our little pump us up song, or something. what a song to use, geez!

But after practically 4 years of not hearing it, listening to it this morning in the car driving home from the marina with Karen, we were still both able to belt out the entire song, crazy eh?

It's amazing how a song about some girl adamant that she "had" to be a whore in order to survive and then some other guy telling her off really made it so far, not to mention, stuck in our heads so well.

Well I can't hog all the enjoyment of the song for myself, here's your turn to sing it too:

What Would You Do
City High

Verse 1:
Boys and girls wanna hear a true story?
Saturday night was at this real wild party,
they had the liquor overflowin' the cup,
about 5-6 strippers tryin to work for a buck,
and I took one girl outside wit me,
her name was Liena, she went to Jr. High wit me,
I said, Why you up in there dancin' for cash?
I guess a whole lots changed since I seen you last
She said,

chorus:
what would you do if your son was at home,
cryin' all alone on the bedroom floor
cuz he's hungry, and the only way to feed him
is to sleep with a man for a
little bit of money and his daddy's gone,
somewhere smokin' rock now,
in and out of lock down,
I ain't got a job now,
so for you this is just a good time but for me this is what
I call life, mmm

Verse 2:
girl you ain't the only one wit a baby,
that's no excuse to be livin' all crazy,
then she looked me right square in the eye,
and said every day I wake up hopin' to die,
she said-nigga I know about pain cuz,
me and my sister ran away so my daddy couldn't rape us,
before I was a teenager I done been through more shit,
you can't even relate ta...

Verse 3:
Yo wait a second man, something aint sounding right you trying to tell me your girlfriend couldn't just go out and get a regular job?mad shorty is going through the same thing yo (mad shorty) if i ever ran into your girlfriend i prob say.
Hold up!
what would you do?
get up on my feet let go of everyday excuse
what would you do?
cuz I wouldn't want my baby to go through what I went
through
(come on)
what would you do?
Get up on my feet and stop makin' tired excuses
What would you do?
girl I know if my mother can do it, baby you can do it

chorus:

what would you do if your son was at home,
cryin' all alone on the bedroom floor
cuz he's hungry, and the only way to feed him
is to sleep with a man for a
little bit of money and his daddy's gone,
somewhere smokin' rock now,
in and out of lock down,
I ain't got a job now,
so for you this is just a good time but for me this is what
I call life, mmm

The Notebook!

OMG!!! so a bunch of girls on my team have been waiting forever for "The Notebook" to come out on DVD, and it finally did this tuesday. well i had never seen it so no big deal, i just wanted to see what all the hype was about...

so I had some free time tonight, so what did i do??? I borrowed one of the 20 copies circulating throughout the team and i sat down and watched it!!!

OMG, i don't cry at movies, usually don't really get very involved, i mean i really love movies, but this one really hit me. I was warned that i would be crying in it, but "no, i don't cry watching movies" boy was i wrong...

It was such a happy/sad movie... i can't even explain it... yes, it is a love story, but sooo much more...

All i can say is go out to blockbuster or whereever/however you get your movie rentals and sit down with a box of tissues and a nice comfy blanket and watch "The Notebook"

oh, and it totally reminded me of my grandma, i miss her :(

ok, bad transition here, but on a totally different note, i watched the OC in the middle of the notebook (that was a weird transition in and of itself...) and sadly, i have missed a bunch of episodes, but what is going on with the cohen's??? seth, come on, get over her, he's just making a fool out of himself... and the father, come on now... did he really have to go back to her? and miss dinner? on valentines day? what an ass... that's all i have to say...

well after all that, I'm going to sleep, have a good night ;)

GO WATCH THE NOTEBOOK!!!

eeek, can i do it???

ahhh, it's ash wednesday, the day to start the Lent fast thing (catholicism...) and just like every other year, i couldn't think of what to give up/do for the 40 days. so i asked (e:amanda) stupid me... jk

and after arguing with her for over an hour that i can't give "something" up, i have decided to actually go with what she said i should do... but instead, to even go farther...

I'm not gonna say what it is, but amanda, you will figure it out soon enough.

oh my god, i already miss it, and im only a little over 10 hours into the 40 days... ahhhh

(but i am putting in the clause that under necessary circumstances... i will permit it :- i know, i know, but not for fun... just business)

i have a feeling my cell phone is gonna get a lot of use these next 40 days... call my room phone as much as possible!!!! do you even know that number??? ;)

what's that noise???

so I'm on this kick of telling stupid little stories, so here's another ;)

so... last night, i went out to the living room to sit and watch some TV with Imani, one of my roommates. ya know, just wanted a little break from the stupid pointless homeowrk i was doing...

and as i sit down, i start to hear this humming.... so i ask her, "what's that noise?" and at first she says she doesn't hear anything... and i think to myself, 'how can she not here that???' then she said she can kinda hear it and she must have zoned it out, but think's it must be from outside or something... i even asked her to turn the TV off to see if that was making the noise, but nope... still this humming noise.

then i see this look on her face... this little evil look, and i think to myself, 'Oh, my God, what is she doing???'

so i left the room a minute to go get something from my room and to leave her alone a minute... and by the way, I was begining to get really disgusted by what i thought she was doing...

then i came back, really not anxious to sit out there with her, and i still heard it... and by the look on her face i was even more convinced that she was up to something....

so as i was about to give up on sitting there with her, i reached under the coffee table in front of her to grab my sandals to go outside for a few minutes when i saw it....

she had a little foot massager under there... that's what was making all that noise...

I was like, "what the Hell, you knew all along what that noise was!" and yes, she did, but she knew what i was thinking and wanted to see how long i would go believing it....

ahhhh, hasn't my poor sofa gone through enough this semester??? ;)

but i guess the foot massaging didn't do the trick, cuz i just got back from her basketball game, and Duke beat them :(

maybe the other noise would have helped more ;) jk
