Have you ever "worked" the full 8 hours without doing a blasted work related thing?

Well today I did.

Explosion

This morning my office is empty because all the full time employees are at a meeting. Well our office bought dough nuts and chocolate milk for all the student employees, like me, who were not invited to the meeting.
Well as I was setting out the food and milk, I remembered that we had a half gallon of orange juice in our office refrigerator. I wanted orange juice more than I wanted chocolate milk. So I got the orange juice out and observed the expiration date which was a little smudged near the bottom, but it looked like it said 8/29/07. So I removed the lid and started pouring when i realized "oh yeah, I need to shake this up to get the best taste" So I closed the lid back on and shook it shook it shook it! I barely started unscrewing the lid when it hissed--like a soda would. So I went over to the trash, which is located between a cubicle wall and a shelf full of books and folders. Orange juice was pouring down the sides of the jug, so i put it over the trash as I unscrewed the entire lid and KA BOOM! orange juice exploded everywhere! Anything within a 3 feet diameter was covered--including three shelves of books and the entire wall on the opposite side...not to mention the orange and white striped jacket I am wearing.

Well I got a rag from the custodial room and got it cleaned up, looks just fine now. So I sighed in relief as I poured what was left after the explosion into my cup. Got my dough nut and sunk into my chair...finally! I took a big swig of the orange juice and my mouth was filled with the most repulsive, sour, and fizzy liquid. I spit it out, more orange juice flying everywhere (not on me this time) and threw the jug and my full cup away.
Yep, the date said 6/29/07. Gross.

Goodbye, Liberty

Liberty Square.
My friends warned me about you:
reeking with American Eagle and pooka shell necklaces.

Things I want to remember about this place:

• The person I was before (normal) and the who I am now (psycho)
• How my relief society teacher looked like my first blind date...and I couldn't look at her.
• The flowers I found on the brink of death and so I watered them and now they are beautiful
• I Capture the Castle movie in the lounge
• The fact that I ate a total of 3 meals there
• My ruthless bros before hoes roommate (and in some cases bros before boyfriend)
  
• The pool
• The red lips shaped soap bar
• The time where I said the opening prayer for sacrament meeting: After the opening hymn I forgot that I was supposed to pray so I just sat there...then I remembered and said "OH!" kind of loud. On my way toward the podium I forgot to be graceful so I walked in my infamous "gestapo" way and stumbled to the front. During the prayer I got mixed up and forgot it was morning so I said "we're thankful for this morni-afternoo-morning..." and everyone busted out laughing.

What I have been eating for lunch for the past week

the shoes I will be walking in beginning tomorrow

cousins

I love my cousins.
Cousins always laugh at me. They think I am funny. I love when people laugh at me. Even when they are laughing AT me. Because it's not my sense of humor, it's my embarrassing way of saying and doing things.
Cousins always love you. They don't live with you for prolonged periods of time and you don't have to see them everyday of your life, so that makes their visits extra special.
I feel completely comfortable around cousins. Not usually the older ones because they think I am annoying. But when they aren't around I can really let loose and be crazy and usually people laugh.

Pet Peeve #2: the word "sweet"

The word sweet should only be used to describe the antonym of sour and the synonym for someone who is nice.
Anyone found using this word in another context will likely be wearing a pukka shell necklace.
Nothing against Emily.

It's just a pet peeve, if you say it like that I will still love you.

8:42 AM Emily: sweet!

me: you work til 5?

Emily: no, 4.

me: perfect

Emily: So if you want, I'll go check out the stuff, and you can pay me later, if you want

My mom has to go too for another gift

8:43 AM Any ideas?!?

me: oh okay

yeah

i'll just pay you

Emily: unless you want to go with me!

me: i would love to go with you

Emily: sweet!

me: i get off work between 12 and 2

so it could totally work

Emily: sweet!

8:44 AM Are you going to be at home, or at your apt?

me: at my home

no one is at my apt during the day so i just chill with the parents

Emily: sweet!

Would you mind going with my mom too?

me: no not at all

Emily: hehehe, she's so cool, it'll be a party! ;)

me: YESSS

Emily: Sweet, so we'll swing and pick you up when I get her

SPOILER ALERT! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

I bawled. 3 times. And I haven't cried for months!

I love this book so much. Before reading it I made the conclusion, as i am sure many others have also, that the 7th horcrux is the lightning scar on Harry's forhead. I thought for sure Harry would have to die in this book to truly kill Voldemort! But I, as Voldemort, underestimated Harry Potter.

The snitch deal was driving me crazy the entire book! I kept thinking, "HEY!! What about the snitch?" It was worth the anticipation, because it was so beautiful when his dead loved ones walked him to his supposed death. That part was so touching!

I was totally Harry in this book, usually I am Hermione.

I really like that Dumbledore was able to talk things through with him. There was no way Harry could carry on without the information that he gave him. And how crazy it must have been to have Draco's mom lie to Voldemort to help Harry! Ohhhh so good.

That whole wand deal! I loved the look on Voldemort's face! I totally remember Draco disarming the wand from Dumbledore! AHHHH

There were so many twists that were so brilliant. J.K. Rowling is a master artist! I want to read through the whole series now...and make connections and go completely crazy, then go back to a normal life.

THANKS JK!

My FHE group

darkwing duck!

I decided to go dark. BECAUSE out of the millions of people I asked, only a handful told me to go blonde--and that was mostly because I threatened them. The rest firmly suggested that I go dark.

So dark is what happened.



I like my bangs. Thank you hairdresser.

transformers

Today I am having my hair transformed to a different color...dark brown or blonde?

my mom told everyone

about the 2nd cousin thing. my Aunts and Uncles and cousins are in town. everyone knows and they laugh at me.

Friday the 13th

HAPPY FREAKY FRIDAY!! Here's a freaky story for you:

I have a history class twice a week.
Bad news: It is an hour drive and the class is 2 1/2 hours long.
Good news: This class is full of attractive men with engineering majors, so I decided it was worth the sacrifices.

Well one of these attractive men sits next to me every day, and I have to admit (though now I admit shamefully) I wouldn't prefer sitting next to any other guy in the class. He's smart, funny, and got a point added to the quiz last night because the question was lame.

Last night he was looking at his facebook during class, so when I got home I decided to look him up and see what this guy is like. Well my mom happened to be sitting next to me, and after I typed in his name she said, "Hey, you might be related to him"

After looking through some of his photo albums and having my mom identify his parents as her first cousins, I felt pretty sick...good thing I never got my flirt on with him...that would be awkward!

Oh well.

things...

I still have the stomach flu

I made bread pudding because all I eat is white bread
so why not make pudding out of it?

I played ultimate spoons last night and re-sprained my foot a wee bit

I cut myself some bangs

My roommates would get married before they turn 20 if they had the chance.

I enjoy going to bed early

I am no more useful than an old person.

Well, it has come and gone folks. but the crackles and screams of fireworks still thunder on in my heart.

Traditions in my fam of the fourth:
1. parade
2. bbq
3. cul-de-sac of fire
4. watch fireworks coming from the stadium

1. The parade was a disappointment this year. a six wheel jeep stalled in front of us, and the floats were spread out so there were times where we would think "is it over?" no, no it isn't over. Look, here comes the high school band. well, i would rather not have to think that it is over. sorry president of the parade, but after politely asking you to improve this flaw, i saw no improvement.

2. I had 2 bbq's. bbq #1 was okay--and it wasn't you marcilyn, it was mostly the guy in the speedo. and the guy with the water gun. especially when they were put together. why were people wearing swimwear when we were indoors and a swimming pool wasn't in sight? Your outfit was cute though, marcilyn.

bbq #2 was sooo great because i ate the first real meal in seriously six days. and i am not kidding. this is not a joke. oh man i would have purposely fasted that long for that tasty meal. maybe not, but oh gee was it good.

3. CUL-DE-SAC OF FIRE!!!
my neighborhood has one...with dancing and lights and fireworks! Love to dance.

4. Watching fireworks that were coming from the stadium was different this year. I usually go off with my friends, park right next to the stadium and just let those fireworks explode right over us. well this year I was too caught up in the cul de sac of fire that I forgot to and so I watched them while I danced. They were the size of my thumb so not so fantastic.

Yeah this 4th of July doesn't make it on my favorites list but better 4th's to come, right? yes. always.

stomach flu, day 5

I'll just be here...on the couch...drinking gatorade.

Pet Peeve #1: The smiley face made with a parenthesis and a colon

I can never bring myself to do it. make a smiley face with punctuation marks. It gives me a weird feeling when it's there in a letter someone wrote me or a text message. I don't know why I get a weird feeling, but I would prefer not to have others feel that feeling. Sometimes I think, "a smiley face would be cute at the end of this sentence!" But I never can bring myself to do it.

This isn't me. It's Chloe from Smallville.
