A VERY Unhealthy Relationship

Ok, so I hate to admit this but I have a very big, I mean huge, obsession with the show One Tree Hill. I have never watched the show before a few months ago, nothing else was on, I was bored at work, so I watched ONE espisode. That was it, that was all it took, I was hooked. I watched the rest of that season, which was season 3. I immediately went out and bought season 1 and 2. I watched all 46 episodes in a week and a half. It is a very unhealthy relationship I have with this show. I would stay up until 4am watching it just to find out what happened next. I would scream at the TV, " NO Lucas, don't kiss Peyton, kiss Brooke, Peyton loves Jake!" Its crazy, I know. And now that I have watched every single episode I find myself lost. What do I do now?????!!!!!!

so testosterone boys and harlequin girls

as a new legal aged drinker, i've started my research on the proper way to get publicly intoxicated without: a) falling down a flight of stairs, b) dancing topless on a bar, c) heaving up my dinner, and d) going home with a stranger. so far, i have accomplished these goals. it is true that i have only gone on one excursion since the birthday bash, but at least i am not starting off on the wrong foot. i do admit, however, to: a) giving a stranger a lap dance, b) shaking the boobies that i do not have at the bartender in an attempt to get some liquor way after the last call, c) complaining that i should have shaken my voluptuous ass instead to get what i wanted from the smoking hot bartender, and d) asking anyone within 20 feet if they thought my ass was, indeed, voluptuous.
i understand that none of the above acts are at all atrocious, but i do believe that if you set your expectations of yourself slightly higher than you would normally, you will never be that girl actually having sex on the dance floor. not that i have seen that actually happening. i did, however, see someone having sex in a movie theatre. make sure to bring some sterilization kits with you when you go to see "over the hedge" (which comes out friday may 19).
i found that, for me at least, it is absolutely 100% true that, while intoxicated, you believe that you can dance, you take challenges in leaps and bounds, and that you are the wittiest girl a guy could ever meet. i also found that cranberry juice runs out fast at the bar and my friends can smell alcohol on my breath and name the brand.
the challenge given for next week: ask a guy to retrieve the gum from my mouth without using his hands. i really believe that my friends think i need to get laid.

Mission Complete

Since the moment I heard Nikki had to fly to New Mexico for a work thing, I had been a ball of nerves. Why? Because she had to fly, on an airplane, with connecting flights and everything. In case you didn't know, I am deathly afraid of airplanes and all that comes with it. I have only ever been to one airport before in my life, and the whole entire time I was there I thought I was going to hyperventalate and pass out right there in the middle of the airport from lack of oxygen. I have a severe phobia of flying, I wouldn't even ride the escalator in the airport. No thank you, I would rather walk up the stairs and not get my pant leg dragged down the escalator when I don't get off in time. Stairs are just much more safe. Anyways, Nikki asked me if I would pick her up from the airport when she arrived home. (She wanted to give me more airport experience, I say she was trying to give me a heartattack) Nervously, I said OK. Her flight arrived at 9:55pm. I HAD TO GO AT NIGHT to pick her up, which makes it even worse, since I am night blind. I live about 20 minutes from the airport. I left my house that night, alone, at 9:00. Her connecting flight didnt even leave until 9:10. I got to the airport. I was so nervous that I almost peed my pants and then I waited for her. At first I didn't know what gate or anything. So I just waited and followed everyone else. Luckily I was in the right spot. The point is that Nikki is home safely, no one hijacked her or kidnapped her and my heart is still beating. Baby steps people!!!!

phases

since i've moved in with hailee, we went through a few phases. i realize the title of the post might have given that away.
anyhow, we had our sudoku phase. that is still on-going but when i moved in, that's all we would do. never mind watching tv shows, never mind having human interaction and actually talking, we placed sudoku. you should see the stacks and stacks of sudoku books we have on the end tables. it is actually bordering on absurd.
after we settled down a little on the sudoku, we had the movie phase. we watched movie after movie after movie. that got expensive because we were always renting, and always forgetting to return. blockbuster has rules, you know. after a good amount of laughs, tears, and "what the hell was that?" we got better. we still watch movies often, but not several everyday.
much like sudoku, we had will&grace. we have about half of the seasons and still watch them, though not as religiously as we first did. which is good, because only one in fifty people get our jokes about the show.
for about a month and a half we've been on the game phase. we play games every night, which as actually a good way to spend an evening if you are boring like we are. you can still talk and have a movie on or listen to some music all that crap. that's not what we care about. we care about... the phases.
i made the mistake of introducing hailee to phase 10. i say mistake because i can be quite competitive with the game. when i play, i'm not allowed to have any heavy object in my vicinity. this is because when i get stuck on a phase, i tend to through anything i can get my grubby hands on directly at your head. i've actually hurt a few people and i honestly am sorry. but during the game, BRING IT ON BITCHES.
hailee has learned the heavy objects rule, but hailee has also learned the competitive nature of this game. she gets just as mad as i do. her mad was once turned into pouting and whining. now, however, she has turned.
since neither of us are allowed to have anything remotely heavy next to us during this game, we have taken to punches. i have brusies on my arms and hailee on her legs because one or the other got 5 extra points added or someone got stuck on a phase.
the point is not to show you how vicious we can really be to each other. because after the game is over and the cards are back in their box, we're happy. there is no hostility or anger towards anyone because of the outcome of the game. it just gets that way DURING the game.
the point is,
YOU GOTTA TRY THIS GAME

oh he's slightly clever to just a certain extent

not too long after hurrican katrina,
some girls i work with made this for
me because they felt i was being too
stingy with my m&ms.
(the m&ms were found and returned
unharmed and mostly uneaten)

socks

let me explain a few things about my feelings toward socks.

first off, i hate them. i hate them because they bunch up. i try a size smaller but then they slip down beneath my heel because they're too small. the seam across the toes squeezes my toes together and it feels like someone stuck four or five cotton balls filled with bb gun pellets in the sides of my shoe where my pinkie toe is. on more occasions than not, i cut a hole in my sock right beside my pinkie toe and right above my big toe. it's the only way i can keep my shoes on without going insane.

i know you are thinking i'm crazy at this point, but the truth is: i am.

i also get unbalanced when i wear two different socks. different meaning a different brand so that the sock on my right foot and the sock on my left are not identical in stitch. my feet have to feel the EXACT same. seriously, i am unbalanced. something is wrong with me. and to take it one step further, if i SEE SOMEONE with two different types of socks on, i get twitchy. i insist they either take their socks off or keep them where i cannot possibly see them.

and that is my story on socks.
