I am going on a 40 day mindless entertainment purge, which means only using the internet for school/email only + a combined total of 1 hr extra of tv shows/fb/youtube/etc a day.

Hopefully I’ll use all that extra time to work out like a mofo and find something productive to do…

We’ll see.

M: HAII PATRICKSSS!!!

P: (very quietly almost inaudible) hi, you’re done?

M: yeah, why are you so quiet?

P: I’m at the gym

M: Ohhhhhhhhh are you talking quietly so all the hot girls there won’t know you have a girlfriend? ;)

P: Actually, I was in the guy’s locker room and it’s so all the hot guys won’t know. Naw mean!?!?

P: AW DAMMIT!

M: WHAT?!!?

P: I was just walking out of the locker room, and just as I said that, a girl walked by and looked at me strangely.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
so good.

I was wrapping up my adventures in HEB the other day and had just started loading my groceries onto the conveyor belt. An older woman rushed to the stand with a bag of oranges in one hand and said, “HEY! I was in line before you.” I looked at her confusedly, because she was OBVIOUSLY in the wrong, and shot her the look.

She pointed to a red basket containing one huge bag of kitty litter and said, I had my basket here. I gave her another look and she whines, “it’s only two items…”

At that point, I quickly analyzed her with my judgemental eye. Her attire and choice groceries screamed “cat lady,” and I immediately opened my mouth, ready to retort with… “only if you don’t pay with a check.” (As a joke!!) Then, because I am so kind and gracious, I decided to keep my mouth shut and let her in front of me.

Guess how long the two item transaction took? TWENTY MINUTES. Guess why it took that long?

BECAUSE SHE PAID BY CHECK.

ugh. I TOTALLY called it.

I’m so bad at this - I already fail at the 30 day tumblr challenge…

New dilemma… Do I renew Cosmo or not?

It’s the same 3 articles over and over again, and the only reason I get it is for the “confessions” section and to drool over the ads (seriously, they have THE best spreads, I want all the shoes the models wear, and they make for good wrapping paper later).

It’s only $12 for 12 issues - but is it really worth it? *sighhhh*

FINE! I’m doing the 30 day challenge. Too bad I already failed at day1 because I stopped taking pictures after soph year at Rice. Guess that means I need to start carrying around my camera again.

OH I KNOW!! I’m stealing Jen’s picture :) HOHOHO

and 15 facts:

1. I recently became a post-it addict. I write everything on post-its now. I LOVE POST-ITS. Now I don’t forget important stuff like remembering to watch Jersey Shore.

2. I like to eat raw tomatoes and bell peppers. Apparently that is weird? I flew back to Portland this weekend to see my mommy and didn’t want my veggies to go bad, so I brought my huge grapefruit sized tomato to the airport and ate it there. in front of everyone. I have no shame.

3. I am an amazing raw tomato eater. 7/10 times, I can eat it without spurting juice all over myself.

4. I gained 18 pounds my first semester of freshman year. Mainly because I was hoping it’d make my boobs bigger - but also because I stopped swimming and I thought I could eat the same amount. Fail on both accounts.

5. It took me 2 years to lose it all. UGH. SOOO not worth it.

6. I’M ONLY ON NUMBER SIX?!?!!?

7. I’m really bad at 2 truths and a lie. I make up really long explanations of everything while everyone else has one sentence answers.

8. I am kind of in love with the (blue) moisturize chapstick. I have around 8 of them laying around. One in each of my purses, one in my backpack, and 3 extras just.in.case… 

9. I pop those Halls Vitamin C’s like it’s nobody’s business. They taste so gooood! Now I am weaning myself off of them because I’m onto bigger and better things, like EmergenC :)

10. I am master paper editor. Lately, I’ve averaged 55 pages a week.

11. I think I’m allergic to Sharpies. They make my eyes itch.

12. I used to be amazing at the Chinese Yo-Yo. I even had a “shi-fu” or “master.” I learned with my best friend at the time and to motivate us, shifu said the first person who could juggle the yoyo (throw it up in the air and catch it) 100 times in a row, would get $100. I lost by 3 :”(

13. In pre-school, my friends and I would huddle around some poles with huge salt crystals on them and pick them  up one by one to eat. WTF! We would also eat play-doh.

14. I’m pretty sure the salt crystals were from the janitor throwing it all over everything to melt the snow. Disgusting.

15. My third-grade teacher had to call my mom in for parent-teacher conferences because she was concerned about me and my inability to stop sucking my thumb.

Whenever I go to the airport, I like to try and see how many liquids I can get through security.Stuff I’ve gotten away with before:

2 baby cans of coke
1 8 oz bottle of sunscreen
1 8 oz bottle of bodywash
a bottle of water
an 8 oz bottle of shampoo
an 8 oz sunscreen and 8 oz bodywash at the same time

I guess the magic number is 8 oz… next time - A GALLON OF MILK!

Anyway, I’m back home in rainy Portland where I’m wearing a jacket and it’s 60 degrees outside.

Happy birthday mommy!

I breathe in way too many hormones at work. The last time they checked my hormones, the levels were off the charts. Yesterday, they finally gave me meds to help get rid of it. I’m going to be normal again. WOOHOO!!
