Don't Forget!

If you ever feel like changing your Ipod/Iphone pass-code make sure you know what it is so that you don't forget it and then get locked out. Don't worry though, the helpful apple rep. talked me through "restoring" it. Now I just have to put EVERYTHING back on. No biggie.

#30

First off, I will kindly remind readers that this is my #30th post and thus it is the end of 30 day challenge (which I failed but we won't talk about that).

anyways....

Today's topic is...

"What to do when confronted with really awkward compliments from complete and often creepy strangers" like this....

Option #1: do what I did and say "well thanks...... that's nice of you."

Option #2: say "I have a boyfriend" (a lie, but I think it would have shrugged the creeper off)

Option #3: pretend you misheard him and say "I have something on my bum?" and run away.

Option #4: (what I should have done) just pretend you didn't hear him and discretely exit the lunch line and wait till later.

What do you think?

I most definitely stand corrected (refer to post #27). Compared to this guy, I don't think I even count as a fan. (He's creepy)

Things I Re-Learn at Church Every Week

Social Norm #1: Don't stare at someone for longer than 5 consecutive seconds unless in some form of conversation (If they're talking to you or you're talking to them) with said person. It makes for feelings of discomfort and unease. Especially for the person being stared at! Please.

Social Norm #2: One should never rustle the hair, headbands, or hats of another person (especially a woman) unless they are close friends or family. But even then, proceed with discretion.

Social Norm #3: If you choose to snooze in public be sure that you do not snore, especially when those around you are attempting to pay attention to someone or something else going on in the area.

#27

I guess I'm not a true fan until I have arguments at school with my friends like this.

*NOTE: This was a real event that took place in the lunchroom today.

#26

So you might ask (in follow up to my last post) how's the "eating healthier but not a diet going?"

Here's your answer.

I ate the mcmuffin.

#25

I've been thinking about losing a little bit of weight with JaCee. I know she's been having a hard time sticking to one red bull a week so I thought I'd start cutting back some of the unhealthier things I eat too. That is... until lunch today when I saw a girl eating the birthday cake her friends got her so that they could sing to her at lunch. I'm pretty sure she saw me drooling, but one can always hope not. Funny that I just read "God of Cake" 2 days ago on http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/ if you haven't read it yet DO IT! And enjoy this illustration.

Sometimes... this happens.

#22

What happens in Interior Design should definitely stay there (unless of course I choose to blog about it)

Excerpts of the recent conversation that took place: (Take note of capitalized words for emphasis)

1. Susan (counterfeit name to protect the Identity of someone who would probably beat me up if they knew I was blogging about her): So how are your parents handling the fact that you're pregnant Francis?

Francis (another counterfeit name): Really well Susan . They DON'T REALLY CARE that much. And I don't know why, I mean it's not like they're going to have to take care of THE DANG THING.

Helen: So true. When is your ultrasound?

Francis: Next week. But I don't think I even need to see a doctor cause I know IN MY HEART it's a girl. What else do doctors help you find out.

Susan: They help you schedule your appointment at the hospital to have your baby, but that's pretty much it.

Helen: Yeah so you probably don't even have to go EVER cause I bet you can just call in and make a reservation.

Francis: Sweet. I probably don't have time to go anyways cause I'm going to drive down and visit Jim (the father) every Friday starting next week so that he can see how far along I am.

At that point I put my headphones in and started listening to music so as not to scream "YOU IDIOT OF COURSE YOU NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR!!!!" and I missed the rest of that thrilling conversation. Do you think "Steadily worsening insanity" is a good enough excuse for me to transfer out?

Sometimes this happens.

Name someone who helped you step out of your box.

Natalie Searle! Oh heavens she sure makes me happy everyday! I met Nat at the beginning of my Junior (her Senior) year when she made it onto the ballroom team. But we weren't really friends till later. We were both kinda going through rough patches, and even though we both had completely differnet situations we were able to relate. She helped me get out of my box by teaching me to have fun even when you have a thousand and one things going on that are bringing you down, she taught be how to talk on the phone for three hours (much to my parent's dismay), and she gives the best advice. So here's to you Na-a-lee! Love you and you're the best!

FAIL!!! Post #20

Ok so I um.... FAILED my 30 day challenge. I did really well at the start but I just got farther and farther behind and if I'm correct, my last day was yesterday. so..... I'm going to finish the 30 posts they just won't be on time. Consider this post number 20.

October 30 (Day 19)

What is in your purse right now.

Let's take a tour of my purse. First stop, front pocket number 1. Altoid mints (wintergreen) and some strawberry chapstick. Next stop, pocket number 2. A bottle of Sally's Black as Night nail polish. Pocket number 3. My phone, ipod, two pens, and a toothbrush. And last but not least, in the main part. Two folders, "The Writer's Option", perfume (Victoria's Secret Pink), my wallet, and a bag of cough drops.

October 29 (Day 18)

What are some things that a lot of people don't know about you?

hmmm.... there are a lot of things obviously.

1. I'm the youngest of 8 kids in my family.

2. I'm an aunt and have 17 (i think) nieces and nephews.

3. I play two musical instruments, the piano and the organ (which are VERY different)

4. I've lived in the same house all of my life.

5. My favorite food is Italian. I love pasta, if you do something to make me mad, then take me to a restaurant, order me pasta and garlic bread and it will all go away (sometimes).

So there you have it. 5 things that some people probably don't know about me.

October 28 (Day 17)

What, in your opinion is one of the biggest wastes of time in your life?

Easy. I'm there right now. My TV Video class is a joke. Good thing I'm transferring out. Let's talk about what I do on an average day in this class. On most days I walk into a dark classroom to seat myself at the back of the class at a computer, at which time I immediately log onto my account and check my blog, email, and grades for the next 20 minutes while the instructor graces us with a roll call and a discussion about our imminent futures. "Go to class. Get good grades. Go to college. I didn't, but you have to." It's very invigorating. The next half an hour or so is spent (still in the dark) watching videos his past students have made with inspiring messages concerning things like, relationships, snowboarding, and cleanliness of lunch tables. At this point I can actually feel my IQ dropping, and just in time the lights come on and the teacher gives us a camera, a few more words and directions, and releases us into the school to do as we wish just as long as we get it on tape. Then, as directed, we mindlessly wander the halls looking for something of interest to turn into a video with a story line, and a good ending. I have learned a few things about editing with his mac program, but other than that........ nothing..... anyways. I have to go now since my 20 minutes of blog checking is up. Video watching phase is about to begin and heaven forbid I miss the most exciting part of my whole day.
