How To Tick People Off

2010-10-08T20:46:00.000-07:00

I was doing StumbleUpon and I found this! ROFL!

HOW TO TICK PEOPLE OFF

Leave the copy machine set to reduce 200%, extra dark, 17 inch paper, 99 copies.
In the memo field of all your checks, write "for my entertainment."
Specify that your drive-through order is "TO-GO."
If you have a glass eye, tap on it occasionally with your pen while talking to others.
Stomp on little plastic ketchup packets.
Insist on keeping your car windshield wipers running in all weather conditions "to keep them tuned up."
Reply to everything someone says with "that's what you think."
Practice making fax and modem noises.
Highlight irrelevant information in scientific papers and "cc" them to your boss.
Make beeping noises when a large person backs up.
Finish all your sentences with the words "in accordance with prophesy."
Signal that a conversation is over by clamping your hands over your ears and grimacing.
Disassemble your pen and "accidentally" flip the ink cartridge across the room.
Holler random numbers while someone is counting.
Adjust the tint on your TV so that all the people are green, and insist to others that you "like it that way."
Staple pages in the middle of the page.
Publicly investigate just how slowly you can make a croaking noise.
Honk and wave to strangers.
Decline to be seated at a restaurant, and simply eat their complimentary mints at the cash register.
TYPE IN UPPERCASE.
type only in lowercase.
dont use any punctuation either
Buy a large quantity of orange traffic cones and reroute whole streets.
Repeat the following conversation a dozen times.
"DO YOU HEAR THAT?"
"What?"
"Never mind, it's gone now."
As much as possible, skip rather than walk.
Try playing the William Tell Overture by tapping on the bottom of your chin. When nearly done, announce "No, wait, I messed it up," and repeat.
Ask people what gender they are.
While making presentations, occasionally bob your head like a parakeet.
Sit in your front yard pointing a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down.
Sing along at the opera.
Go to a poetry recital and ask why each poem doesn't rhyme.
Ask your co-workers mysterious questions and then scribble their answers in a notebook. Mutter something about "psychological profiles."

ROFL!!!!

The Man From Peru

There once was a man from peru

who dreamed he was eating his shoe.

He woke with a fright

in the middle of the night,

to find that his dream had com true.

I was reading "A Kiss in Time" andI read that Talia said that the women in the modeling agency looked "skinny and sickly". So True! That is what they're trying to sell us. That we have to be stick thin or we aren't beautiful, but the thing they aren't telling us is that that isn't beauty at all. Everyone is beautiful. Everyone is different. Lets not model ourselves after someone who isn't us.

The Warm Fire

How I love to sit by the fire

And read a book,

Or sit and inquire.

How I love to sip hot herb tea,

To feel it’s warm decency.

These little things are essential to

Help you feel more like you.

If these things that we enjoy,

Disappeared or would deploy,

Our life worth living would cease to exist,

It would be boring and dull,

Motivation would become as mist.

So we should enjoy these little things

Like taking a walk,

or sewing a seam.

This makes life worth living.

Were meant to dream!

Lets put our sorrow behind,

Forgive our siblings,

Or tame our pride,

And live life to the fullest

For that is what’s best,

Because who wants a life

With no happiness.

Food

2010-01-17T14:02:00.000-08:00

Last week, My Mother and I went to Olive Garden and got Bruschetta. I've tasted Bruschetta before, but wasn't pleased, as well as when we got to Olive Garden. I wasn't pleased. It was just okay, so my Mom says, "Lets go get the ingredients and make our own Bruschetta!" So I'm all like okay!

A couple of days later and we get to the task. We bought some cheese bread, basil, and roma tomatoes. Here is the recipe: http://www.recipezaar.com/Tomato-and-Basil-Bruschetta-44232

We make it. Toast the bread to a crisp, stir in the balsamic vinegar; I take a bite, and the most wonderful flavors married into a taste that I will never forget.

Why does food make us feel so good? Same thing happened when I had Miso Salmon at The Cheesecake Factory. If I could move to France or Italy, somewhere where food is the culture, I would be the happiest young women ever. I really need to marry a Chef...

If anyone is reading this blog, anyone, what is a food that has engraved it's taste in your mind that you've had in your life, comment. I would love to know ;-)

Crochet

2010-01-07T09:58:00.000-08:00

Guess what I'm learning to do. I'm learning how to crochet.
I tried a while ago, and I didn't really enjoy it, but last night for an activity, my friend taught me how. Now I have something relaxing to do after my hand gets used to the weird hand position.
I am crocheting a striped purple and white(with sparkles) scarf. It looks fine, except somewhere along the line I lost 2 stitches... whoops... Well, live and learn thats what I always say.
If you guys would like to learn yourself, here is a website where you can learn everything about crocheting. I'll post a picture of my scarf when I finish (if I ever do).

...I'm thinking...

2010-01-05T11:13:00.000-08:00

Hmm... Thoughts from the past week.... Well, I ordered a way cute shirt from hottopic.com and it should be arriving today. It's got Pacman on it. Ahh so excited!
I cleaned my room and bathroom spotless. Just hope I can keep it that way. I have a weird habit... I clean my room, I'm happy, then Sunday comes, and my rooms starts getting dirty and I don't clean it up. I really need to break it. My room is still clean! Crap... I need to go make my bed... THEN it will be clean... Hooray for cleanliness!
I got a Dumb Rat on Saturday. She is the cuuuutest thing ever! She is my first pet rat, and I'm lovin' her. Lulu is tan and white. She looooves to cuddle with me when I'm watching TV or sitting on my floor. I can't believe my Mom convinced my Anti-Rat Father to let me get one. This is a miracle, cept there are some rules... no letting her down, I have to put her cage in my room, she has to be clean 24/7, yada yada yada. It's worth it though.
Other things on my mind... hmmm OH! My friend and I have started playing together again. We used to be in a band, but that kind of crashed and burned. We're trying again though. It was way fun, because last night we got together and she would play rhythm guitar, I would pick, and we would both sing. Good times.
Alright, well that's pretty much my thoughts for this week. Hopefully I'll get a piano vid up soon.

Talk to y'all soon!

Update

2009-12-25T19:47:00.000-08:00

Hello Everyone,
I haven't posted since last week. This is a thought that has crossed my mind today and I planned to correct it, so here I am. This week I colored my whole middle layer purple. It is subtle because of my brown hair and the fact that the dye was Demi, but it turned out how I wanted it. Now it is fading. I'll have to try red next. ;-)
This week I have gone to a reception and to go see the lights they put up downtown. My they were beautiful. The lights, as well as my cousin and now cousin-in-law. I took lots of pictures.
My Mac is finally complete. This Christmas, I got iLife. Now I can download my videos from my Camera as well as edit. My Dad has always pitched a fit because of my choice, but I think that Mac overrules Windows. Sorry, Dad.
Well, I'm off. Hope ya'll have a wonderful Christmas.

Can't believe 2009 is almost over. O_O

Perfect Cat-eye

2009-12-16T15:15:00.000-08:00

Start out with putting on your primer. I used L'Oreal Decrease.

Next, apply an eyeshadow that matches your skin tone.

Using your fluffy brush, apply a shadow above your crease that is 2 shades darker than your original skin tone.

Apply a darker eyeshadow to the outside of the crease.

Blend out the hard edge with a flat brush.

Apply a dark brown to the outer edge of your crease.

Use a highlight color that is matte.

Using a small stiff angle brush, apply a black gel liner to your lashline. do not go all the way out.

Next, use an oval brush to start making your wing. I dipped it in my gel liner as before and blended it to my pupil. Then I followed my natural lashline to put it an angle.

Dip the same brush in a black and smudge the line towards the tear duct. This will cover any imperfections.

Get your favorite black liner and draw a line to your pupil and stop.

Smudge to the inner corner.

Apply Mascara, and your finished!

Littlest Jingle Bell

2009-12-15T14:01:00.000-08:00

Once there was a Littlest Jingle Bell who lived in a store that sold jingle bells. The store sold big jingle bells that went JINGLE JINGLE JINGLE and medium jingle bells that went JINGLE JINGLE JINGLE and small jingle bells that went JINGLE JINGLE JINGLE, and the Littlest Jingle Bell, which went jingle jingle.

Around Christmas time, people bought jingle bells from the store. They bought the big jingle bells, the medium jingle bells, and the small jingle bells.

But nobody wanted the Littlest Jingle Bell.

On Christmas Eve, the Littlest Jingle Bell was the only jingle bell in the store. He was very sad.

The store was about to close for the holiday, when suddenly a customer came through the door. It was Santa Claus!

"This is an emergency!" boomed Santa. "My sleigh;s jingle bells broke and I need to guy new ones!"

"I'm sorry, but I only have one jingle bell left," said the proprietor.

"Let me see it!" exclaimed Santa.

"I don't think you'll like it," said the proprietor, who was anxious to close the store and go home. "It is very small."

"Let me see it!" Santa repeated, more forcefully than before.

"Okay, but I really think it is too small," said the proprietor.

"Listen, my friend," said Santa, "I will be the judge of whether it is too small or not! I don't want jingle bells that are going to wake the children. I don't want jingle bells that take up too much room on my sleigh. Let me see this jingle bell!!"

The proprietor retrieved the Littlest Jingle Bell and handed him to Santa Claus. Santa gave the Littlest Jingle Bell a gentle shake.

And the Littlest Jingle Bell went Jingle Jingle Jingle in the most cheeriest way.

"You're right, it is too small." said Santa.
