These Pretzels Are Making Me Thirsty!!!

I feel as though it is time that I pay homage to one of the greatest television shows known to mankind.

Now, although this particular show has been off the air for almost a decade, it has never failed to provide laughs, tears, joy, and hugs.

Are you tired of that super-crappy "comedian" Dane Cook yet?

Are you desperate for comedy that is so simple, so pure that you can't help but laugh?

me too.

Alberta, Alberta, where you been so long?

a gold star and a thumbs up to anyone who can name that title reference...

it has been way too long since i last updated this thing!

and what better time to do this than when i'm sitting in my Gender and Society class?

exactly. there is no such time.

School has not started out the way that I had envisioned in my mind.

I had high hopes of starting out the semester with all A's on my first tests, being able to slack off a little bit my senior year (in theory...), etc.

However, the institute that is Texas A&M had a different vision.

They want me to suffer.

My test grades on my first three tests are as follows:

Nutrition: 68

Theatre History II: 82

Theories of Communication: 68

semesters always start like this for me.

i'm not sure why i'm so surprised and startled by these results.

I guess i'll just have to lock myself in a quiet study room at the library as spend countless hours reading and doing research.

.....right.

on a much lighter note, i've just made a new purchase:

this is a stock photo of my 2009 Vespa LX150 that I just bought a few days ago.

i'm pretty excited about filling up for $6 every two weeks instead of $70 every week.

oh yeah, i really like this girl:

it's amazing that she puts up with me and my shenanigans.

Not Without Love

CHECK IT OUT!

An Epidemic Has Arisen...

*this is just a joke. don't email me and tell me what a terrible person i am.

Homeward Bound!

Tomorrow i leave for a family vacation back to Oregon where I spent the first 6 years of my life.
it has been a decade since i've been there, so i'm pretty excited to revisit some childhood memories.

We're going to a resort called Black Butte Ranch (and no, it is not a dude-ranch, despite what dayna might try to convince you of!) that we went to every summer for 8 years.
it's basically a family oriented golf resort with community pools, 3 golf courses, rec centers, horse back riding, miles of bike trails, etc.

In honor of my return to Oregon, here is a list of 5 things that I will likely encounter while I'm there:

1) Hippies--let's be honest....Oregon is replete with hippies. impressed with my use of the word "replete"? you should be.*

2) The great and beautiful city of Portland. My parents tell me that the weather right now is clear skies and about 42 degrees in the morning and around 80 degrees at its hottest.

3) Lots of Weed--i'd better not get emails or messages from people telling me that Christians shouldn't acknowledge that weed exists...(cheers to self-righteousness!)

4) Round Table Pizza--I grew up on this stuff and I think my little league team pictures are still up on the wall.

5) Nike Town-- Portland is home to Nike's world headquarters, so you can imagine how huge this place is. the picture really doesn't do it justice.

I'm sure I'll post plenty of pictures from the trip, so check back in about a week.

* I'll be honest...i had to use dictionary.com to make sure that I used that word right. I'm not smart.

Where The Light Is

I recently purchased John Mayer's new live dvd and am completely blown away.

the dvd contains an acoustic set, a John Mayer Trio set, and a full band set, and is an incredible experience.

I highly recommend that everyone go and buy this cd/dvd combo (or either one individually).

Things That Make Me Want To Stab Myself In The Eye Vol. 3

I'm not a mean or angry person.

like i've mentioned in previous postings, there are only a few things that really make me mad.

bad drivers is at the top of that list.

here is a list of driving flaws that probably result in me saying certain four-letter words:

- not using a signal then slamming on your breaks to make a turn at the very last second

- driving excessively under the speed limit

- tapping on your breaks and driving slow because you're trying to find the street that you're turning onto

- driving slowly in the left lane on the highway and not moving over when other cars are stacked up behind you

- driving behind me with your brights on

freaking get your act together and stop driving like an asian woman! (i'm gonna hear about that one....)

*note*: not all asian women are bad drivers. i chose to simply perpetuate the stereotype
