Happy B-day Fresh Spice!

It was fresh spice's birthday a little while ago and I've just been waiting to get a picture so that I could blog about it. The theme of the party was broadway musicals and I was Glinda the good witch... naturally...
Top Right: Annie Oakley (Annie Get Your Gun), Cinderella, Elle Woods (Legally Blonde: The Musical), Maureen (Rent), ?, Footloose, ?,?
Bottom: (Sporty and Ginger didn't dress up) and then ME - Glinda (WICKED!) I was in a big pink fluffy dress and it was just fun!.. it helped that we had chocolate cake & chocolate mousse frosting w/ crushed Reese's on top!

It's amazing what an 8 second video clip can do for your day..


Oh my goodness.. Today is P-Day and Brazil's mom forwarded me this video of him. I've watched it probably about 10 times so far today. I laugh every time I watch it!!! The way that he jogs into the frame and then his face the whole time is just so stinking funny. In almost every picture he sends us he's either doing the thumbs up:

the hang loose:

Or the peace sign:
In this video he does all three! What a loser face! ha ha ha. This made my day for sure :)

Some days I wish I was mean...

In order to fully understand the situation Friday I have to go to the beginning of 1st semester... day one of college to be exact. I met "Stewy" (this is his name because his FAVORITE tv show is family guy... Yucky..) at freshman orientation and he is a looker! At my college on full moon's they have an activity where people kiss over our "spirit" rock (it's a boulder on campus that everyone spray paints) and then you get a t-shirt that proves that you did it. Well after Sporty and I left freshman orientation I turned to her and said that I was determined to kiss him on the full moon friday night. So: 1st day I met him, 2nd day got his number, 3rd day hung out with him, & 4th night kissed him over the rock. I won't lie.. I was freaking proud of myself because he is SO good looking! After that week we probably hung out every single night for about 2 months.. Me, Stewy, and his roommates had SO much fun together! We stayed out until like 3:o0-4:00 every morning for about a month straight doing crazy adventurous things, and it really was so much fun, BUT................

He was ALWAYS texting (he'd have his left arm around me [while watching a movie] and in his right hand he would be texting and he would text close to his leg so that I couldn't read the texts--interesting), he was in my institute class and he would always tell me that he was going to come but he would never come [p.s. he is a pre-mi aka he's pre-mission], he would get phone calls from his "parents" at like 11:00 at night, he lied to me multiple times, and even though we kissed that first week he never ever kissed me again.. he'd put his arm around me, he held my hand a couple times, he'd flirt with me, etc. It was weird but since he was the very first boy that I had actually truly liked since Brazil left I didn't want to believe what I knew was true-- he had a girl friend at home.. Yikes!

So eventually I got to be really good friends with his roommate Jim (named because of his love for The Office) and Jim let me in on many secrets about Stewy... I found out all about his girl friend. Stewy had been with this girl for about 3 years, she was about an hour away at another college. I also found out that on all the weekends that I went home or out of town she would come down, and if she came down here when I was here, he would tell me that he was going home for the weekend... I could go on and on! ha ha ha so eventually I confronted him about it and he told me all this stuff about how how their relationship was on the rocks and blah blah blah, he basically told me what I wanted to hear, "well we were going to try to make a long distance relationship work, but it's harder than I expected and so now our relationship is on the rocks and I don't think that we'll be together much longer...Blah Blah Blah" (please note: that he is a HOTTY, that we get along really well, he treated me well [to my face] and he's the first boy I've liked in about a year).. at the end of that conversation I told him that as long as he was honest with me then we wouldn't have any problems.... That weekend he told me he was going home, but [thanks to insider information from Jim] really she came to visit..... I know that you're having a hard time believing that anyone would ever lie to me, but it's the truth! lol so I was done with him! It was actually pretty hard on me. I have never dated anyone but Brazil. Brazil was my first kiss, first boyfriend, etc. He treated me like a queen and was pretty whipped ;), so I had never had the experience of being in a crappy situation like this. I know that it wasn't SO terrible because we weren't "together" ( we just hung out everyday, flirted, and snuggled ), but I felt like some dirty mistress of a piece of crap hottie... ANYWAYS!

So it's been a while since that whole situation went down.. I still think that Stewy is hot (I looked through all of my pics and I don't have any pictures that do him justice.. if you saw them you would think that I was retarded for thinking he was gorgeous.. so I'm not even going to give you the option of thinking I'm dumb!), but I don't go over there very much anymore and there is still that awkward tension between us....

Yesterday there was a baseball game and Sporty's B-friend is on the team so we went to support. [keep in mind that Stewy is also on the team] Me, Sporty, and 2 of our friends we sitting watching and guess who's there................................................the girlfriend! She and Sporty had met at one of the other games and she came and asked if she could sit by us -- can you say awkward!
ha ha ha I had no idea what the crap to do. I know that she has no idea who I am, but I felt like a terrible person because I'd kissed her boyfriend. I could have told her tons of stories and completely ruined their relationship, but no I chose to be nice. They played a double header and in between games the players all came out to chat. Did Stewy come anywhere near us.. HECK NO! lol Maybe he is smarter than I gave him credit for! ;) It was an interesting experience because before I would try to think of what she would look like and wonder why I wasn't good enough or pretty enough for him. I know that he wasn't what I was looking for and not someone that I wanted to end up with, but I was jealous of her and after Friday's game I just really felt sorry for her. She has a boyfriend that isn't loyal to her [Since he and I have been over he has made out with other girls on campus.. which poses the question why didn't he ever kiss me? because the thought of his girlfriend didn't really stop him from kissing other girls-- interesting]. She's in a worse situation then I would ever want to be in. I'm not jealous at all! He may be handsome and fun, but he is an unfaithful liar. Brownie Points to Brazil, who never treated me disrespectfully. But once again-- Can You Say Awkward?

Holiday Weekend Overview

This weekend has been quite eventful! There was another dance this weekend! ( as I blog about dances, I realize how many we have.. I LOVE IT!) This particular dance was a "Stop Light Dance" You're supposed to wear: Red=taken Yellow=single Green=single and looking. I had no idea what to wear, but Posh pulled out the shirt that Brazil sent me for my birthday and it worked out perfectly! I wore mostly yellow, a little green, and Mr. Brazil is secretly yet openly represented on the front of my shirt (sneaky I know!).(p.s. the fog machine made this pic come out nasty and I cropped myself out of another picture because this one has the best view of the word 'Brasil' on the front)
(Sporty is "TAKEN" but she "didn't want everyone to come up to her and ask about her and Devin", so she wore blue instead)
Funny picture with Sporty's older brother

 Friday morning I left with Fresh Spice out of town. She went home and I bummed a ride with her and visited my hometown friend "K-la" at college. Our weekend was full of laziness, which was perfect! We woke up at noon every day. The first night we went to a Hot Springs, which felt amazing.. then on Valentines, since we didn't have Valentine's dates, Me, Kla, and Whit went to the movie "She's just NOT that into you" and it was sort of a different of movie.
 The thing that really ticked me off was that [!spoiler!] the hot guy cheats on his wife! WTCrap! I was ticked...then, because we are cheap/creative and instead of buying treats, we brought cookie dough instead! So we enjoyed the movie and cookie dough!
This weekend was super awesome because I got to chill, relax, and unwind.. but the weekend is over and now it's back to school and back to work.... lame. PEACE

Happy Early Valentines Day to ME!!

At 6:00pm today I got a random phone call from a number that I didn't know and so I answered the phone with "Hello?" aka who is this? This lady starts talking saying she's from a floral shop and I'm thinking what the crap, but she says I have a delivery....Then it clicked and I remember that I have the most thoughtful boy 8,000 miles away that would never let the chance go by to make me feel loved and important, plus I have the most giving and caring "mission-in-laws" ever who: are the communication bridge between me and Brazil, play along with our childish and sometimes (most of the time) silly requests, and basically put up with all of our crap and all the while they never make me feel like I'm being a burden to them... They're too good to me. Well anyways...so she says that she'll be to my dorm in like 3 minutes. I headed down to let her in and I got a glimpse of pink out the window before I got to the door and I was thinking HOLY COW!




They're Gorgeous!

Sometimes I wonder why I'm so lucky!

I know I need to date and expand my options, but I'm almost certain that nothing beats this!
Then the Note...
Last Valentines Day I got 20 white roses and the note said "One for every month until I see you again", so this time there might be less roses, but freak I'll take the 7 roses over the 2o months ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!

But most of all Thank You Outpatient/Brazil!
You're TRULY are incredible...

My Room is........... [this post is graphic- viewer discretion is advised]................]

CLEAN! If you can believe it, Sporty and my bedroom is beautiful and it took us about an hour to restore it to it's natural beauty! 
(it's clean... give or take a couple of flip flops and a pile of unfolded sheets on my chair, but not bad!)

Here's the recap for the day... I had to write an essay this morning that was due today at 1:00, plus proofread an essay for english that was due at 10. I got up today at 8:00 and I woke up with a good intentions, thinking that if I had a good attitude I could accomplish more... well life was about to throw me a curve ball. 

In our dorms we have drawers underneath our beds (thank goodness because otherwise 3/4 of the girls would have to downsize their wardrobes for school... not going to happen). I left mine open last night and as I got out of bed I stepped onto the floor with my left foot next to the edge of the drawer, next the right foot comes down (I'm getting to the point don't worry), then as I proceed to take a step forward the heel of my left foot comes into contact with this:

My heel scrapes up the metal part and I tried my hardest to refrain from cussing. When I looked down I saw blood so I hobbled to the bathroom. 
It might not look painful, but I had to wear flip flops all day because shoes rubbed against it.. Youchy!

The next series of pictures are a reenactment of the event

I put my foot on the toilet seat and used some TP to stop the blood from getting everywhere--

This next part if very important. I needed a band-aid, so these next pics help to explain--

As I turned to put my foot on the ground I definitely under-estimated the closeness of the door knob and WHAM! My head (around the right eyebrow area) got in a nasty fight with the metal door knob and guess who won? NOT ME. I basically thought that I cracked my head open, but to my astonishment I didn't see any blood.

I then collapsed from humiliation in front of the vanity and began the healing process. I applied Neosporen with a Q-tip,
Band-Aid,
and kissed it better because my mom's not around and no one loves me enough here to kiss the area that's so close to my feet ( not that they're yucky.. it's just that they're feet...)
PS.. as you can tell I'm not flexible, so if I really wanted to kiss the back of my heal it would be quite painful

I then proceeded to have a horrible day with trying to get printers to print and I probably ran around campus a gillion times trying to get everything where it needed to be. Let's just say that my "good attitude" ceased to exist with my first step of the day.

The good news is that I went on a killer date. Gavin is a freaking fun kid. We've been on about 4 dates and they've all been amazing because we're both totally awesome people and we have a great time together... yet we don't like each other. We can't figure out why there aren't feelings because we seem so good for each other--but it's just NOT there. Therefore when he asks me out I know I'm in for a really fun, chill, layed back, good time.. which it was! It is now 3 a.m. and my quick post about my room being clean turned into a photo album, but what can you do?!

It's All About The Women [of 311]

Not only are we the spice girls, but we recently came out with a hollywood film entitled "It's All About the Women". Unfortunately Fresh Spice came into the picture after we discovered our connection with this movie, and since I've already butchered her through photoshop once on my blog, so I'll spare her the humiliation and myself the shame at my crappy photoshop skills :). So, due to our hollywood film, we also refer to ourselves not only as the spice girls, but also as The Women of 311. 
You know how in most houses there is a picture of the Savior in the living room.. well unfortunately and embarrassingly enough this is in it's place...
Yikes! 
***Random shot of Sporty being....weird...!
That probably needs to change, but in Sporty and My room... as you can see.. 
there are pictures of him to make up for it. As I was taking pictures (with my laptop because my camera is dead and I'm too lazy/poor to buy batteries [fyi batteries cost mucho dinero]) I thought I'd let you all know that my bedroom is currently a disaster area.
 ***Don't mind Sporty in this picture either... she's currently restraining herself from shooting her ovaries . Some days women hood sucks.

Yikers! So instead of cleaning.. I chose to blog. I'm hungry so I'm going to get some food-age. Peace

The fine print: The views and opinions expressed by the actual movie "It's all About the Women" in no way express the views/behaviors of the Women of 311... so don't judge us ;)

Dance-o-holic

Literally! This week I danced for approx. 8.5 hours! Believe it! Because the college that I go to doesn't have a football team (lame I know) last week was our homecoming week and so for one of the stomps that week they had a old school athletics dance, so room 311, being the school spirited people that we are, we went to the stomp... decked out!


I hate swearing... I'll say that up front & college dances aren't the most uplifting environment. Usually the music is edited but at this dance it wasn't...so therefore it was an extra uncomfortable/nasty environment therefore I left after about 2 hours (usually they last for about 3.5 hours) because I couldn't handle it anymore. The pic above was almost a pic of all of the Women of 311.. minus scary spice...but here she is!
Then on friday night we went to a dance club about 1.5 hours away... OMGOSH! It was awesome! I was a NEON Dance Party and I've been looking forward to it for approx. 2 months! It exceeded my expectations. We got there at about quarter after 8 and we danced until 1 A.M. The music was edited (praises ;) and I had 3 groups of friends. Home Town Peeps; The Colorado Boys; & 311. It was so fun! Me and Sporty danced with all the groups and it was so much fun. I don't have any pics from Neon Night.. sorry.. but I just didn't want to take in a camera. We will definitely be visiting that club in the NEAR future!

8 hours of dancing. By the end of friday night/saturday morning I had a whole stomache ache (cus I had a side ache on both sides, therefore I had a entire side ache), me feet KILLED, my neck was sore, but my heart was satisfied!
