eeek, there has been lots of yelling around here about near naked lady covered in food, but check this out
people are selling their bodies as advertising space, how strange...

i guess you can advertise anywhere, head, shoulders, knees and toes, and everything inbetween as well...

just what would you be advertising for??? and who would do this???

maybe you'll see a pic of my leg with a big "oscar mayer bologna" advertisement ;)

oh, looks like you guys are getting a lot of snow, haha

those snow flakes that i get to shovel will never cease to amaze me :) but what am i gonna do once winter is over??? applying some spf when the sun comes out??? nope doesn't sound nearly as exciting as shoveling snow flakes...

but i can't get to sleep and have to be up at 5:00 tomorrow for practice, and did i mention i can't get to slee??? i hate this!!!

and i really don't care for snow, but i could sooo go for a good old snow day tomorrow ;)

hurricane season was too short...

well peace out :)

ok, so I've had a pretty busy weekend, ahhh, and it's only saturday night... but tomorrow morning after 7:30 am, it will all be over and I'll have a chance to resume to my normal weekend!!!

Oh, i was so busy cuz i had a recruit this weekend... that just means that a girl who is interested in coming here next year to row was staying with me for the past 2 days... it was a lot of fun, we got to go to nice restaurants and do fun little touristy stuff and even after living here 4 years, i still love doing that stuff!!!

but tonight!!! the 3 recruits, the 4 hosts, our 4 coaches and our team manager all went out to China Grille out on south beach. people have talked about going there before and how good it is, but i had never been there and never really thought much of it, just that it's really really expensive and it's in south beach so it's gotta be a special occasion ;)

ok, but it's "family style" i guess, so you order big huge "things" and just pass it all around and share... but with 12 of us that pretty much meant ordering pretty much everything on the entire menu (it seemed) and eating it all.... it was crazy.

the appetizers, the sushi (I'll get back to that), then the entrees, and then the desserts.... but it was literally sooo much food it was insane!!! but sooo good!!!!

ok, so to the sushi!!! now freshman year (3 yrs ago) i attempted to eat sushi one night when a few girls from my team dragged me out to "experience sushi" or something like that... well i think i had a California roll or whatever the "easiest" thing was and i was really about to spit it right up, i couldn't get over the chewy-ness. it felt like i was chewing on flesh, not like i ever did that, but i figured if i did, that's what it would be like...

so for the past 3 years i have stayed far far away from it... until tonight

and now is when i wish i had a camera phone or something... it was the most interesting looking thing, i just had to try it, only 4 ppl were eating it and everyone kept telling me to go for it... SO I DID!!! and IT WAS SOOO GOOD!!!! and they turned the lights down real low just in time so i really couldn't see the piece of salmon flesh covering it. but it was really sooo good!!! they were saying that that was the best sushi they have ever had so maybe i jumped into the good stuff too fast and really don't like normal sushi, but regardless, look what i have been missing all these years, I'm actually tempted to try out that all you can eat sushi place now!!!

just not tonight, I'm still pretty full from that dinner, yummy!!! and what do you know, all free!!! go recruits!!!

yes!!! there is finally a sunglasses solution for people w/o ears!!! it's about time...



can you believe it, they just stick to your head... just like that!!! they are called "magneto" by nike, but don't worry, there are no magnets involved, which was my initial concern, it's actually adhesives that are used to stick these things to your head...

who comes up with stuff like this??? oh, its americans ;) hehehehe

lots of silly stuff at www.ideo.com from (e:ajay) 's post

maybe that's what i should try to do with my life, come up with little things like that... ;) no, noone would hire me for that either :( hehehehe

so i have this HVAC test at 12:30 today... it's 11:03 right now. i'm sitting in the classroom where i'll be writing this test. got here about 3 minutes ago in an effort to finally start studying, i figure if i sit here in this empty room i'll have to study, right??? WRONG!!! i can sit here and type about how i don't want to study for this test and that studying, like the rest of my morning thus far since i've gotten home from practice will be a waste of time... noone in this class has any idea what's going on. aparently its like thermodynamics, but come on now, you think i really remember or even understud that stuff in the first place??? blah... this sucks, i don't wanna do it... i could definitly go for a nap right about now ;) oh, the beauty of naps :) but NO!!! MUST STUDY!!! NOW!!! cuz the sooner i finish this test the more time i have to study/try to learn what is going to be on my construction management test at 3:30... hehehehehe, i love procrastinating:)

oh, and then triple birthday party tonight!!! Sez (20 today), Emy (19 yesterday), and Tash (20 tomorrow)!!! and he's not in the party but it's Danny's 22nd today too!!! lots of birthdays!!! Happy birthday to everyone else who was born around now!!!

ahhh, ok, i'll go study now...

ha, you thought i'd have a picture of me in my suit with a title like that, or at least something right??? well NO, no picture today, that thing was off the second i walked in the door, especially the shoes.

oh yeah, sorry i couldn't make it to the night out thing, i had this career fair thing tonight that i needed to be all rested up for, hehehehe, jk.

now seriously, i have gone to soo many career fairs and the school ones usually only have like 3 engineering firms, but this one tonight was all engineering firms, all civil, architectural and environmental engineering firms... so you'd think i would have some luck finding a job right??? and come on, I LOOK SEXY IN MY SUIT!!! hehehehe, well actually i think i look like a man when i wear it, but come on now, its a suit...

but yeah, i was talking to all these people from these different companies and i really think i will never be able to get a job, ever... not that they are too hard, but first of all, most of the stuff really doesn't appeal to me, ie sewers and plumbing and roads and that stuff, but that's all they seem to want people to do...

but there was this one company that does stadiums and big buildings!!! now i would LOVE to do that stuff, that's what i got into this field for!!! but they didn't seem too nice, and were looking for people who have already taken (and passed) the FE and are ready to work... well i am taking it in April, but there are no guarantees on the whole passing thing... oh well, maybe they will take me on eventually, or some other cool company will, or I'll just get a job flipping burgers or something.... "would you like fries with that??" or now maybe, "would you like a salad with that???"

but come on now, i look so sexy in my suit ;)

ok, its an old movie, but i finally bought it yesterday!!! it's soo good, it really is!!! I'm serious!!! go watch it,hell, just buy it...

ok, but i was just taking a stupid little quiz thing of "which character are you" and



but here, take the test yourself and find out who you are ;)

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 ;)

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!!! ;)

ok, so back on jan 22nd we did a habitat for humanity thing here in miami, here's a pic of all of us on a big mound of what probably is by now, the foundation of one of the houses...




ok, so then on the 26th we did out row for humanity thing, 12 hours of erging in the middle of campus out in the sun... geez! ok, so in the first pic im in the middle and in the second im up in the front row, maybe you can guess where from the shirt colors...







oh, and sorry the pictures are soo small, the enlarged version was too big, but if you are really all that interested in them, which I'm sure you are, then you can check them and more pictures of those 2 days out at

ok, well have a great friday night!!! ;)
