So Long, Fairwell

This school year is officially over for me. My freshman year is complete. I have taken my last final. I'm basically packed and ready to hit the road. Well...kinda. But I will be.

So, I'll be leaving school and going home for the summer. Odds are that I will not blog while on summer vacation. I know you will miss me. Maybe.

Don't fret! I'm sure I shall be back in the fall!

I'm sure you were really worried, weren't you?

Adios until the fall, y'all!

Behold!

Lots of random pictures I took over the weekend!

This is my life...kinda

I might be a little bit addicted to fmylife.com...maybe just a little bit.

So, your homework assignment, class, is to read up. It will definitely make you feel better about your life. I warn you it has a few inappropriate things. Just shield your eyes and erase any mental images that offend you greatly.

Anyway, in honor of my new addiction, I will give you an FML moment from my own life...

Today, I walked into an elementary school that I've never been in before. As I'm wandering around looking for an adult to ask for directions, an older boy asks me "Are you a new girl here?". I'm almost 20 and in college. FML

This really happened, unfortunately.

:(

You're Jealous, Fo Sho

Actually, I don't think that jealous even comes close to covering it...I'm ENVIOUS!


Now, tell me you don't wish you had moves like that!

Shout out to Rachel for showing me this amazing video!

Come on, Summer!

And I'm not talking about Summer Wheatley.

I'm not picky...

Hey, if that RickRoll cake doesn't work out so swell, I would be perfectly content with Mr. Robin Zander. See, I'm not picky.

And I know you are wondering, Rachel...Robin Zander is Cheap Trick's lead singer.

(He is the blonde in the front)

Seven Things

My dear cousin, Marchelle, tagged me so...here it goes...

THE RULES:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Share 7 things that people may not know about you.
3. Tag 7 people to share 7 things and link to them.
4. Let them know they have been tagged.

Ummm...I don't think I'll tag anyone...I barely know anyone...but if you wanna try it out go right ahead!

1. I will indeed sing along loudly with the music played over the loudspeaker at Dollar Tree...but only if Rachel is there...

2. I do love my sister despite how mean I am to her and how much she annoys me...

3. I really like post-it notes...and any sort of office supply at all really.

4. I wanted to be a vet when I was little until I realized that blood might be involved...:( As a general rule, it is my belief that things that are on your inside should stay in your inside, please!

5. I think that I could survive on a desert island as long as I had a lifetime supply of chapstick.

6. I love trees. Seriously. I love them. They make me happy just to see them. I think it reminds me of my childhood (I used to climb them all the time and play in the woods) and of home. I love the country! I love fields too...

7. I love writing in cursive. It's my favorite. My print has gotten really sloppy because of it. This is kind of funny considering how much I disliked it when our teachers used to force us to write in cursive in elementary school...maybe I hated it just because I didn't like being told to do something that didn't really matter. I'm pretty sure they could have read it just as well in print...Considering all the people in my grade that don't remember how to write in cursive, I don't think it was that beneficial to have us write in cursive all the time...

Why did I just rant about cursive? You did not ask for that and I am sorry. I really am. :(

Rick <3

I so want this cake for my birthday:

Please.

Thanks but no thanks...

So...let's say that you are doing laundry on a Sunday afternoon. You're a little distracted-not really paying attention to what you are doing...
Then you procrastinate folding your laundry all day...finally, towards 10 o'clock at night, you decide to finally start on it. You get done folding all of your clothes, start to put them away and then you think to yourself...

"Self, I don't think that you folded that skirt you wore yesterday that you definitely washed today...hmmm...it is definitely not here" (panic!) "oh, gosh! Where is it? Did I leave it in the laundry room? Did someone steal it? I have to go check!"

You go back to the laundry room. What do you find?

Your clothes. A whole load of them. That you forget all about.

"Self! How could you!"

And what else do you happen to notice?

Your clothes are FOLDED.

This means someone has not only taken your clothes out of the dryer but they also took the time and effort to carefully fold them for you.

Creepy.

Cute Things My Brother Says Part 2

Johnny Cash Himself:

Here are some things Rachel thought I left out:
"Let's get out of here"- when there's a storm

"Why you call me George?" HAHA

(Doctor, it hurts when I do this) "Don't DO that"

"Gerce"

and last but not least...

"Liz kissa him" - Every time Trenton's name is mentioned.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that he randomly turns to me and says "Trenton died. Sorry, Ziz" Trenton did not die.

And here are some pictures of the precious little boy!

Cute Things My Brother Says

So what do you say when you want some one to call you back?= "call me phone"
How do you say I love you?= "Lie you"
What do you say when Grandma asks who it is on the phone?= "It's me!"
What do you say when our sheep ("Pusha") pushes you?= "Pusha, stop pusha me!"
How do you say "playing" (or anything with an 'ing')?= "play-ging"
How do you pronoune 'Ralphie'?= "Dalphie"
What do you call our cat when he misbehaves or is mean?= "The meanest cat i(n)a world!" (very pronounced)
What do you call our cat when he is being nice?= "aww...a nicest cat a world!"
Thomas's response to "what did you do today?= "fine"
and to "no, what did you DO today?"= "fine"
To anything he wasn't to stress that he already told you...add= "said"
EXAMPLE: What do you want to eat?= "hamburger, said!"
When you want Thomas to do something he doesn't want to do= "do it self"

What does Thomas call his family members?
Rachel= Chel
Liz= Ziz
Alex= Aldix
Grandma= gam-ma
Grandpa= gam-pa
Aunt Lyn= Lyn

Conversation with Grandma:
G= Thomas how many hamburgers do you want?
T= yes, please!
G=Thomas, how many hamburgers do you want?
T=yes, please!
G=Well, you are only getting one since you won't answer me!!
(pause)
T=...grouch

Thomas climbing down the ladder from the hayloft with Rachel down on the ground
R=Thomas, it's okay. Just climb down.
T= (nervous)...Chel...lie you!

Thomas just before he pushes Sam off the deck: "aww...Sam..." and Sam= "TOM!"

David After Dentist Again

So, ironically enough, right after I post about the David After Dentist video, I see this:
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/29892601/?gt1=43001

This is an article on MSNBC about whether David's parents were wrong to put the video up. I find it kind of ironic.

Perhaps they shouldn't have put it on youtube. Maybe David will regret it in the future (for now he says it makes him feel "like a rockstar"). Maybe it is a violation of his privacy. Well, I don't really see what that has to do with anyone else (i.e. all of the people that think doing such things are wrong). Do you see what I mean? If his parents wanted to share this moment with everyone...well, that was their decision. People make wrong decisions all of the time. Making a big deal about it just brings even more publicity to the poor boy, am I right? It isn't hurting anyone for these parents to have done this. It is not causing David any physical or emotional harm. I suppose it could potentially cause him emotional harm but if that were to happen it would be because people keep telling him his parents shouldn't have done this. I think that would make me a little emotionally upset.

Am I wrong? What do you all out there think?

Oh, and P.S. I have no life. Well, I assume this from the length of this post about how I dislike people that ramble about things that don't matter to them personally...um hypocritical?

David After Dentist

This is really cute and funny.
For some random reason, our computer class teacher showed us this today. He claims it is pretty popular so you have probably already seen it but you know what? It is new to me and I feel like sharing.

David After Dentist

P.S. This reminds me so much of my little cousin Luke. I can so imagine him being like this after his surgery to remove his extra tooth. Which I'm assuming he has done, Rachel?...mom? anyone out there know?

Trust me, it works.

Stressed? Need to relax?

Try this:
Soothing Sounds!

Sure, maybe it is to help you sleep but it also lets you relax when you are feeling stressed.

My touching testimonial:
I was having a bad day and a friend suggested that I calm dowm by listening to some soothing sounds. Boy did it work! Now that I have Soothing Sounds, I will never be stressed again!

Step by Step

Day by day, a fresh start over, a different hand to play...suddenly an old sitcom's theme song is stuck in my head...and I suppose it is kind of fitting...

So, this "nub" thing. It can be confusing. I had to figure out how to use it on my own. I will attempt to help you understand its mystical ways.

Step 1: This is what I have on my laptop. I can only assume this is how most others are...I'm not too familiar on other styles. This is my first one.

Here is some of my fancy labeling:


Step Two: I place my hand like so (notice placement of fingers on buttons):

Here is an aerial view just so I'm covering all the bases:

(and don't mind that string...it's from my camera)

Step 3:It is just like a mouse, I promise...only it doesn't move. Your finger does the movin'. Just simply place your finger on the "nub" and tilt your finger in the direction you want the pointer to go. Give her a try!

Step 4: Clicking. "Nubs" have "clicker thingys" just like a mouse. And you know how some mouses have the little wheel thingy you can use to scroll with? Well, "nubs" got 'em too! Only it transforms itself into a button. Here is a picture to tell you what is what:


***Oh, and a helpful tip to you! Make sure your hand is not resting on the touch pad...it may create problems. You may get confused as to why your pointer is going crazy...I know from experience.

Now, just go about your normal business and you are set to go. Use your "nub", point, click and be merry!
If you have any questions feel free to ask. And tell me if I wasn't clear on anything, please.
For more on "nubs" click here.

Dem dare do-dads....

So, I love these little red thingys...whatever they are called....I know a majority of people hate them. And I get it. I used to be one of those people... But, now, I love them!

They are so much more fun! Though they are harder to get used to...and now that I have, I changed mine to one that suits my fancy a bit better.


***Thank you, Trenton: http://xkcd.com/243/

AND CHECK THIS OUT! I came across this photo after googling "rolly mouse thing on laptops" (in an attempt to figure out what the heck they are called). And I have to say...this made me LOL. I would love to see someone actually use this:

And...ppsst, don't tell anyone but...I want one...

Hey, I won an award...

Apparently, I won the worst sister of the year award...and it's February.


:(


***Oh, apparently, the award was just taken away from me...dangit...I thought I might get a trophy or somethin'...or maybe a gift card...
