Oh. My. God. (literally!)

I think I have reached the point where I surf the web too much. Or surf the wrong parts of the web too much, at least. You should check it out if you're feeling down and need a good laugh. It just goes to show you that the X-stian fundies are preparing to breed another generation of sexually repressed, ignorant people who will inevitably try to force their beliefs on the rest of us, because we 'heathens' are going to hell. And anyway, what is all this nonsense? It seems like the definition of a relationship that these people hold, before marriage, at least, is that there should be two feet between you at all times. Where is the chaperone? My 30 year old, socially awkward, virgin daughter wants to go on a date! Oh, wait, that's right, GOD is the chaperone. Because who wants to get it on with him watching, anyway? What a buzz-kill.

I think my favorite part of the whole site is this:
"Choose to not kiss - At least until you are engaged to be married. Okay, this can be extremely difficult, but if you can follow this one dating tip then most of the others will happen naturally. Even kissing once you are engaged can be very dangerous. It's better to not kiss at all until your wedding day!"

Seriously? So, you want to get to your wedding day, have never "tested the waters" at all? Thats going to make for some sweet, sweet wedding night lovin'. I can see it now - the bride walks out of the bathroom in her floor length, turtlenecked, cotton nightgown and demands that every light be shut off and every window closed. The newlyweds awkwardly get into bed together - for the first time - and after 20 minutes of "uhm, uh, err" they finally decide that he should probably take his pants OFF for the best effectiveness.

I mean, maybe if you were, you know, twelve, these rules might apply. I'm not advocating that everyone drop trow and find a buddy, but, if you put two people who are mutually attracted to each other - especially teenagers - they're going to take off their clothes eventually. Abstinence-only sex ed has been shown ineffective. Perhaps it's time for safe-sex ed? It doesn't have to mean "Go out and have sex now! Don't forget the condoms!" as many abstinence-only supporters would have you believe. But teaching teens - and anyone else for that matter - who are going to go out and have sex anyway to do it safely is important. More important than giving up on them with garbage like this.

I just know one day I'll fly

Here is an interesting post on radiation. It seems that many everyday household items - including smoke detectors - are slightly radioactive. It DOES kind of make me wish I had a Geiger counter, though I'm sure it would be a "fun for a day then to the closet" type toy. And at a few hundred dollars, well...you know.

Anyway, maybe I could start licking water softener pellets to more quickly develop my inevitable superpowers above that of a mere CopyGirl. Although I don't imagine they would taste very good. Flavored pellets, anyone?

A Daily Dose

In perusing the web as I do, I have come across a blog that warrants a Ctrl+D from me. Yes, a bookmark-worthy website. It is the (near) daily life of a woman who rescued a coyote and lives with him in Wyoming. She takes wonderful pictures of their life and posts them here. Yes, I have now accustomed myself to receiving a daily dose of coyote, and feel let down when a new picture is not up when I get to work in the morning.

Drama Queening 101: I don't care about your story.

Now that the holidays are over, the rush has slowed, and I have had time to think about the past few weeks, I have begun to wonder - what is it about drama that so many people are innately drawn to? And why feel the need to disrupt the joy that is my vacation by constantly plaguing me with said obnoxious drama? Is it so interesting that they feel they must prolong it for as long as possible, or is it a power trip to feel that they 'control' the opinions other people may form about the subject of the drama?

I don't know why some love it so much, but really, this is not high school anymore. Seriously, grow up.

Wow

So Blogger finally decided to let me back in to my site. I stopped posting for a little while, and then Google took over Blogger and everything got messed up. But somehow it works now, so I'm back! At least when I have something to say, that is. Hopefully I will find enough to talk about to post every few days or so!

Hmm...

Just because actions may speak louder than words doesn't mean words are unnecessary. But it doesn't mean the actions are either.

Unicorns and pots of gold

Long time since update I suppose.

Lindsey and I (among a few others) went to Belvedere last night. I had a really good time, which was suprising since I almost didn't go. And I got to ride home in a 911 turbo, which I will say definitely didn't make my night any worse ;) I brought my camera, but didn't take any pictures...though there could have been some entertaining ones I'm sure.

I have less than a month until I'll be going to Canada, I'm excited...though not sure what to expect. Should be entertaining nonetheless though, eh? ;)

Guess I haven't updated in a while. I've decided it's that time again though. Stuff has happened, but I don't really remember what. There are pictures of some of it on my other site.
I saw Green Street Hooligans tonight. Soccer...err "football" movie that has about 5 minutes of the sport in it. It's about a bunch of guys called the Green Street Elite and Elijah Wood's...err...adventure with them, earning his reputation among the soccer firms in Britain. The end, of course the big fight scene...was disturbing. But not without a moral. So I guess disturbing but touching? Anyway, even through all of the punching and the fighting and the blood flowing everywhere, I still thought it was a good movie. Good enough that I stayed up to write a blog about it. So there. It's bedtime now. I have to wake up early and try to pretend my bullshit job is worth going to at 7am. It's really not, but somehow I'll convince myself it is...

Ouchie

Why do I keep hitting myself in the hand with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop...

vroom makes me happy

So the last few weekends have been pretty mellow. I've had finals and such, last weekend Tyler and I went to a "seis de mayo" party at Shane's house. Good times, good times. No pictures from that, but this weekend was really busy.
Friday night Tyler, Andrew and I went to the Grand Prix of Houston for the LeMans races. Talk about freakin' SWEET! The pictures of the cars while they are racing are pretty crappy, because they were going sooooo fast, but we were walking around and got some other pics of cars that were being worked on and stuff, and some cars that were going to be raced in the Champ Car races the next day. I had a really good time, and then I found out that Saturday was the Art Car parade, so we all went to that. Talk about literally, art in car form. Some of the entries were kind of lame, but some were really awesome. One of the cars even caught on fire! (not on purpose) Apparently several of the metal looking cars (the dragon and a few others) go out to the Burning Man Project every year, which would be cool to see. Anyway, so there are DEFINITELY pictures of all that on my MSN space. After all that, we decided it was hot outside so we all went to Andrew's pool and chilled for the rest of the day, followed by somehow this turning into a house party at Tyler and Travis's place.
Sunday was a little more laid back, I went to my parents house for dinner and mother's day and such...not much there, just had some seafood which was good :)
Next weekend should be interesting too. Bryan is having a beach party for end of semester down in Bolivar, so that should be fun. Another of Tyler's friends is coming from Canada to visit, so the beach should be a fun place to spend the day. I'm looking forward to it, might not bring my camera to avoid sand/water badness though.
Other than that, summer school starts today, which kind of sucks, but online is good at least. So I'm just waiting for my semester grades and whatnot still :-/ Gonna be so much more fantastic than in engineering though ;)

You'll get culture if I have to drill it in...

Surprisingly, quite a bit has happened since my last post. I have actually been kind of busy lately. I am finished with all of my papers for the semester except for the big nasty 10 page one, which is...an almost nice feeling hehe.
2 weekends (I think) ago I went to the Museum of Fine Arts. The plan was to go to the Museum of Natural Science for the BodyWorks exhibit, but the line was really really long, so we opted to see the Inspiring American Genius exhibit at the MFAH. I must say, I was impressed. I've been to the MFAH before, but this time just kind of stuck out more I guess. The detail these people put into their work...amazing.
Tyler and I also went to see The Miser at the Alley Theatre. We had the Honors College seats, but somehow when we got them they gave us tickets for the wrong day, so we ended up even closer to the stage, which was super awesome. The play was really funny too, everyone did a great job I think.
Last weekend we went to the zoo. It was fun, but as always, it made me kind of sad to see all the animals with such small spaces to roam. Even if they are born in captivity and "do not know any better"...you can still tell...they look rather unhappy :-/
Anyway, I'm pretty sure that just about catches everyone up. I've seen a bunch of movies too. Silent Hill was weird. Took some thought, surprisingly. I have pictures of all of my adventures on my MSN space. Oh, and my lease is up in a month and three days. Which fills me with glee. (No offense Andi, you're the coolest.)

**Edit**
My lease isn't up in a month and 3 days...it's up in 2 months and 3 days. BUT the crappy part of it is up in a month and 3 days. I was so caught upin happiness I forgot to get my facts straight.

Less angry about underwear. Well, not really but I at least bought more hehe. Here is the link (again) to my MSN. The Aeros pics are posted now. Tyler's friend Dan is down from Canada for about a week. I'll have pictures from that adventure as soon as I have all of them. Yay for collecting pictures from other people!

On a sadder note, I think I am going to be rather busy soon :( I have a 10 page paper and two 3-5 page papers coming up that I haven't started. But, not to worry about that now, they aren't due yet, eh? :) I also FINALLY got my painting back from being framed. And I (well Tyler and Dan) hung it on the wall. It's preeeeety, see
















I think that's all for now...perhaps something of interest when I can think of it.

Just so everyone knows, in case some of you were wondering...

Stealing is bad. Especially from other people. Especially if you go through their clothes in the dryer and steal only their underwear. That makes you a creepy pervert, which in turn makes me want to rip your cock off and choke you with it. Though it would probably be too small to choke you with, obviously. Which is why you are stealing all of my underwear out of the goddamn dryer in the first place I must assume. Fucking perv. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

In other news, I saw an Aeros game on Saturday. Pictures will be on my MSN once I'm less angry about the underwear thief.

So since my last update, Tyler and I went to Dallas for the Calgary v. Dallas game last Sunday. Since we were already going to be there and needed something to do ;) , we went to Medieval Times on Saturday. I'd been once, when I went to Florida, but Tyler had never been. It was a good time, makes me glad my "silverware" consists of more than my hands these days. Then the game was on Sunday. Calgary lost, but it was still a fun "first NHL game" for me. Oh, yeah and go Red Knight! heheh. Overall, I say it was a great trip. Nice and relaxing, just what I needed. Semesters should come with more of those built in ;) Oh, and of course, pictures of Medieval Times and the hockey game are posted on my MSN space. Enjoy!

rainbows and butterflies anyone?

Ever notice how people have far less (or at least far less interesting) things to say when they aren't unhappy? Maybe I'm just not deep enough to have regular, meaninful posts ;)

Found out I have to write a 10+ page paper for my poli sci class today. That sucks.

I don't really have much of anything interesting to say this semester. School is...yeah. But whatever, it's cool. Accounting has some pretty interesting stuff I've learned. My history class is pretty cool, the prof (Robert Buzzanco) is rather liberal and teaches it that way. He wants us to see the other side of the history we've always learned. My poli sci class is ok, exam Thursday, should be pretty easy. I have a paper due sometime in there too. And in psych as well...hmm should probably get started on those sometime. That's what spring break is for. That and not class. I'm starting my break off nicely. Shopping with Holley and Krutina and then Cirque du Soleil. Should be exciting :) I think I'm going to some party thing at an art store on Saturday night with Ali, Jael and Andrea if she's still going. Anu too, perhaps? Not sure. Figured I should find something to do so I'm not bored while Tyler is out drinking and "playing wingman"...I found a piece of art I really like. Unfortunately it's huge and $1500. But I really like it... It's an abstract piece with orange and purple and black and its just...awesome and beautiful. Saw a Picasso too, it was about the size of a half sheet of paper and was almost $3000. Too bad Picasso isn't around to be paid, poor guy. There was also this cool tree made of copper piping that had candle votives wrapped into it that was really awesome. I bet it looked even cooler when candles were lit. The guy who made it will apparently come into your house and create something for a particular space you want it in. Too bad I move a lot, eh? And too bad I'm broke haha.

I think that's about all that is going on. I saw Ultraviolet on Sunday. It was pretty terrible. I want to see The Liberati and V for Vendetta. I hope they are less terrible.

Babbling

You know what sucks? Knowing something you aren't supposed to. You'd think it would be better to know than to stand oblivious. It's not. It's like, well, you know, but you can't tell anyone or say anything because, well, you aren't supposed to know. Now I see why people are so much happier when they don't know what's going on. Maybe that's why curiousity killed the cat.

Cirque du Soleil is next Friday. I'm pretty excited. Good way to start off spring break. I kind of want to take a trip somewhere (within driving distance) over the break, any suggestions?

I know it's been forever since I said I would post this, but I finally got all the pics from the ski trip. So...I put them on my MSN space for all to see :) Here is the link. (http://spaces.msn.com/lilbluegal/photos/?_c02_owner=1 for those who can't click it for some reason.) I think there are some good ones. It was SO pretty there. Enjoy!

Also, I posted some pics from before the ski trip (all the stuff that happened through January) so those are finally up too! :)

So I have not really had much to say lately. Business is a lot easier than engineering. There is no homework, other than stupid WebCT, and I have never bought so many scantrons before. Because of this, I have nothing interesting to say about what is going on. No "I was sitting in class and suddenly it all made sense" stories. Because there's nothing TO make sense. If you can not get that two sides of a balance sheet have to balance, then...well then WTF. I miss engineering. With the....you know....challenges. Maybe it is not even that. I miss the people. There were no looks from them like I did not belong. Maybe I am not cut out for this. Perhaps I would be put to better use at McDonalds. sigh. I think it is the thought of my alternative - working somewhere like McDonalds for the rest of my life - that keeps me just okay enough to make it one more day. I was talking a few days ago about people who have just enough common sense to make it through the day. They lay down to go to bed and are like "oh yeah, I need to close my eyes to sleep." And they do so and that is IT. No more common sense for the day. It is all used up. I think I am like that with sanity. And sometimes tolerance. I have just enough to make it through the day, but if the day runs long or something...I am screwed. Perhaps today ran long...

Ahhh, yay for well needed vacation. Skiing was SO fun! Yay for good birthday presents. Hehe, and falling in the snow. And getting better and not falling in the snow as much. And lots of powder, which by the way, is much harder ito ski in. All in all, I say the trip was a success. A super fun success. Pictures will be on my MSN space soon. At which point I will also provide a link to said space. :)
