My Little Quirks

You know how everybody has those little random skills that they can do? Not really talents... They aren't particularly difficult. It's just that not everybody can do it. Anyways, here are some of mine:

I am really good at painting my nails. I get detailed. Booyah.

I am capable of peeling(ha, the first time i typed this, i forgot the 'l'. HA! whoops) an orange without breaking off the skin at any point.

I can shake my eyes. My friends, HG and AJ, can also do this. :)

I have neat handwriting. I have a bad day sometimes, but the majority of the time, my writing is nice. nice nice nice.

I can put in my own earrings. I know a lot of people can do this, too, but some find it challenging to find the piercing up in the lobage(this a word?)

I can touch my eye without my contacts in and not feel squeamish.

I can come up with an interpretive dance at any given moment. Yeah. I really can.

The point of this post was so that I could focus more on things I am particularly good at, compared to things I'm not. Many spend too much time dwelling on the sour pickles of life. Shake it up a bit. Have a cucumber. Woah, that's my new official favorite quote.
Love Always,

Hump Day

Yes, today is Hump Day, as I always love to point out at every opportunity I get. Which is every Wednesday. Once a week. Mwah ha ha.

Anyways, I heard something called Fat Tuesday? Yesterday, I heard a girl talking about how her birthday is on Fat Tuesday. I thought it was some kind of inside joke. Then, my friend, H, and I were going through a super secret catalog of super secret items, and we came across a page with Fat Tuesday on it.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS SO CALLED FAT TUESDAY?

Love Always,

Sickie

Sorry, I broke my every other day rule. But, I have a valid reason this time. No, it's not really valid, but it is a reason. Anyways, I am sick. And it feels less-than-wonderful. So, I'll keep this post really short. Wish me betterness. I'm off to take a warm bath and then tackle a boatload of homework! Have a fabulous Monday everybody!

Love Always,

Frolicking Friday

TOMORROW IS AB'S BIRTHDAY!!! A.B. IS A VERY CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE, AND I MIGHT NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO POST TOMORROW, OR MAYBE I WILL, SO... I'M POSTING NOW!!! WOOHOOO!!

I have a little story to tell. About a little bird. A little, white bird.

At first he was shy.

I didn't want to pressure him, so I let him take his time.

When he was ready, he came out to play. Check out those feet!
After a while, he got comfortable and started to pose!

He felt so happy that he started talking to a friend nearby who had just come back from paradise

Together, they met two new friends.

All four of them watched the clouds for the rest of the afternoon.

Then, they walked into the sunset.

THE END

Wasn't that a happy story?

Credits:

the white bird is a bird i saw on the road.

the bird of paradise is a random bird of paradise i saw outside the doctor's office.

the cockatiel and parakeet are my two birdies.

the clouds are clouds.

the sunset is a sunset.

Love Always,

A Non Rant

Unfortunately, i do not have oodles and doodles and noodles of time to rant about nothing like i normally do. But, i am trying to keep a schedule here by posting at least every other day. Even if i post one word, feel free to say hi or comment or rant about your own lives. but then again, that is the point of a blog. oh, well. I'm ranting again.

have a fabulous rest of hump day, or more likely, day after hump day.

I wonder why i all of the sudden stopped and started randomly capitalizing the first word in sentences. Wait, no i didn't. it is just the i's. hmmm. sorry, babbling again.


also, please check out this video against Prop 8. Stop the hate. No on 8. But I don't want to start a fuss.

Time Flies

Today is February 16, 2009. As you probably know...

But, exactly two years ago, on this day, my father had a heart attack and had to be rushed to the hospital. He had a stint put in that day and stayed in the intensive care unit for a few days. of course, I was sad then, but I'm just glad that things are back to normal, two years later. Isn't it weird how time just flies like that? I remember the days when I was itty bitty and my idea of art was drawing stick figures. Hmm.... Kind of odd, don't you think? I know this post probably doesn't make much sense, so you don't have to really comment on my blubber here. Just say hi or aloha or hola or whatever you wish to say. I think I'll go now, for I have bored myself already. Time to go to do something else. Happy Monday. :)

Love Always,

Wowie! I've Been Tagged!

Okay! I have been tagged. So... here we go....

Rules:

1.You must post these rules.

2.You need to list 8 random things or habits that you do or have.

3.Bloggers that get tagged must write on their own blog about their 8 things.

4.At the end of the post you must list 8 people to get tagged.

5.Leave the people comments on their blogs saying you tagged them.

My spectacular 8 random things and habits:

1. I am trying to get better at running, because at the moment, I am less than superb.

2. When I am bored, I'll find myself scratching at my head. Really hard.. It's weird... yeah.

3. I like to tap my fingers on any hard surface to the rhythm of different songs.

4. When I am trying to write a good essay, I try to envision the words dancing around and singing on the page.

5. When I pick out a book at the store, I have to feel several different copies of the same thing and hold them up to my ears to see which one "talks to me".

6. When I eat goldfish, I still make them swim in the air before I eat them.

7. I am only capable of eating Cheerios four at a time(long story)

8. At the grocery store, sometimes I'll pretend I'm a celebrity and all the items on the shelves are the paparazzi. So, I'll start posing and smiling to cans of soup.

That was certainly fun. Now, time to tag eight other chums(do people still use this word?)!!!!!

The following friendliolas are tagged:

Dave

Kellan

Mari

Nasha

Papercuts

Mrs. F

Reylit

Sharky

Please enjoy this picture of a squirrel I quite a while ago...

Have a fabulous Sunday!

Love Always,

Love Is In The Air....

It only comes once a year. Why not give up one day out of the three hundred and sixty-five(forget that leap year rule, which still utterly confuses me...) to be mushy and gushy and in love with the world?! Why not!? Hug everyone around! Call all of your friends and wish them a Happy Valentine's Day! Don't you like getting phone calls when you aren't expecting them? It doesn't have to be a call a century long!

Just say, "Hello! I am just calling to wish you a very happy Valentine's Day! I hope you have a good one!"

That wasn't so hard, right?

I'm thinking of that song that goes a little something like this:

Love is in the air....(duhn duhn duhn ..... duhn duhn duhn)
Love is in the ayyyyer.

In case you have no idea what I'm talking about, refer below:


Everyone spread a little love around! I know I will! You know what else I'll be doing today?
In about half an hour, I will be scooting my boot down to the dentist's office to get my regular teeth cleaning! Wooo!!!! I'm so excited! Not really, but it certainly is something.

Have a fabulous day everyone!


Love Always,

Remember Me?

I am so sorry everyone! Really, I am! I know that it seems like I have fallen off the face of the earth and glued myself to a barnacle! But this is not the case! I am back! And I will try to post on a regular basis! I hope I have not upset anyone with my frequent absenses! Not that I expect you to visit my humble bloggy abode every waking moment of your life. Though it would be nice. Actually, no it wouldn't. Maybe once a day, or so. Or really, whenever you have the chance. But I digress...It will probably take time to get my readers back, but that is okay. I deserve the struggle.

Anyways, here is a brief recap of my life since you last heard of it. All is well. The year has made a delightful turn for the better. I am no longer in a pit of despair, not that I ever really was. Well, I kind of was. Just for a little bit. I'm all better now. Don't you worry about me. :)

I have not seen any good movies recently. Nor have I read any mind blowing books. Of course, I reread Twilight. Speaking of Twilight, the sequel to the movie, New Moon, is in the makes(is this phrase used correctly?). If you are a rabid fan like myself, I would suggest you bookmark my favorite fansite http://www.hisgoldeneyes.com/ . Daily updates and awesome news on anything Twilight worldwide.

Here are a few of my current favorites to get everybody back up-to-date:

hobbies: reading, writing, singing, dancing, photography(YAY! I WILL BE UPDATING PICTURES OFTEN NOW...I PROMISE... NOT LIKE THE TIME I SAID I WOULD AND THEN I JUST DIDN'T...)

color: blue and green

music: Wicked album; Twilight album; Paramore; Jason Mraz

Well, actually, that was kind of pointless. You could have just gone and peeked at my profile. Oh, wow. At least my fingers are getting a nice exercise here. FINGERS OF STEEL!

"Sunny California"

Not exactly. At this very moment, it is raining rainbows and ponies. I hate strongly dislike it. I am staying cozy with about seven layers including a sleeping bag in bed. Starbucks signature hot chocolate. Staring absent-mindly at the flickering flames of the furnace. Snuggling with pillows and whatnot. This is my life during the winter. In case I haven't reminded you lately, or you just forgot, but I strongly dislike hate the cold weather.

There you have it. My so called "brief" recap.
