cell phone + air hockey table = ><

You may think this sounds quite creative, but last night I got my cell phone stuck in an air hockey table. Awesome right?

My friend and I didn't feel like sticking around at a banquet in a crowded ballroom listening to over-played music, so all of us (my friend, her boyfriend, me, my boyfriend) just kinda looked around for some place that was still open on a Sunday night. We ended up at Mainevent.
So after an intense 2-on-2 air hockey game, I slipped my hand in my cardigan pocket to retrieve our game card, in the same pocket where I kept my cell phone. It wasn't there. I was on a mad hunt for my phone because earlier that year I lost my previous cell phone. After tracing every step, from the car to the parking lot to the arcade, nothing was found and a cell phone was not turned in.

I grasped the edge of the air hockey table in hopelessness, when I felt something fall into the side pocket. At first I thought it was just the puck, but when I really thought about it, I twisted my head beside the opening to see my cell phone screen, glowing in the dark. Crud.
After maybe 30ish minutes, two maintence guys, and a power drill, my cell phone back in my loving arms and in my boyfriend's pant pocket for safe keeping.

Ironically, one of the maintence men said this was a mild case compared to others he's seen. It make's me wonder...

happy (almost) christmas and hanukah! +ecofriendly tips for wrapping presents

oke dokey readers, here's a mini update of life...fall exams FINALLY OVER! god, it took forever to study for chemistry and apush, but it's done so now i can relax and start on my apush project that is worth two test grades! XD i also had a show awhile back for moe and ollie. eh, i did okay, but never really breaking the top ten. they were both "too green" so yup, i need to run them basically everyday now. yup, it's fun. haha oh well, i need to work harder if i want to win. i rode mac this weekend and he was awe-some! he was really peppy with the below freezing temperatures >< jorge and i are doing great as well. he's quite a good kisser ;) anyways here are a couple tips for gift wrapping...
1) opt for newspaper for wrapping presents (do it within your family if easier to explain)
2) if you don't want to use newspaper, use bags so they can be reused
3) if you do use the bag or a box, take the tissue paper from the sleeves of your drycleaned shirts to stuff or wrap your item
4) make some of those cute present bows out of a page of a magazine here. it's actually really easy and fun :D
5) reuse or recycle your wrapping paper, bows, boxes or bags!

happy holidays and new year!

pic of the week y pequito update

okayy, so first my boring update about life. i have been so happy these past couple days :D so jorge y yo estamos (insert spanish word for officially) ir (insert word for out)! :DDD Hooray some one actually gets my weird sense of humor! :DDD so yeah. i'm just a girl after all. my speech went okay, i kinda had to rush because i started like right after the bell rang and i didn't want to be the bitch that made everyone late to class. i still got an a :) i'm in a really emotioncon kinda mood. so yup, my week so far is pretty uneventful other than that. chem club (yes i'm in chemistry club, nerds unite!) we added an akali or akaline earth metal (i forgot which) to water, and it sizzled, caught on fire, then eventually exploded! :P one other thing, i keep finding random ladybugs in my room! seriously, saturday morning, one on wall, saturday evening, found in under my alarm clock, just now, two on my curtain. i safely transferred them with tubberware and a sheet of paper because there is no way i would want to kill them even if they are little bitches + apparently it's bad luck (according to jorge). the good news in italy, if a ladybug flies in a person's bedroom it is considered good luck. even if i don't live in italy, i'll consider it as 4x the good luck...hopefully

so here is the picture of the week...sloth

think about the animal sloth, what does it do all day long? nothing! so sloth basically is laziness. i honestly don't know how else to put it. so there ya go! sloth=laziness. enjoy.

4 coats of nail polish v. lamb and goat show

review of the weekend
...homecoming game. my very first game, i was uber excited. my garter turned out really good and jorge loved it. he gave me this big ass mum (well it cover my whole left boob, but it was smalled compared to other girls) it made me so happy that he made it himself without any help and he even put a little lamb charm on it! :D we won (of course) making our record 8-1. i got to see one of my friends who graduated last year, which was super awesome, our band was beyond superior to our opponent (we outnumbered them by like...300, haha) though my friend karate chopped my paw sign, so i was a tad sad, but i had a lot of fun with jorge. and and and jorge got to see ollie and moe! ack i was so happy it wasn't weird (well, not very at least, haha) but ollie and moe were totally mean and didn't even acknowledge him. D: i got like 6 hours of sleep, not entirely bad.
...awesome ride! i woke up early to feed my animals (cause they were to be loaded in the afternoon, and only my dad could give me a ride, who had a meeting at like 9) so i rode an hour or so earlier. and mac was so fresh from his little vacation, he was alert and amazingly smooth. so the rest of saturday afternoon i tried to get my homework done and started to stress about the dance. got my ridiculously straight hair curled and nails painted too.
...homecoming dance. it was surprisingly fun, for the most part. nobody had my dress! hooray! it was soo cool, it was a deep teal with a sweetheart cut and fell in an a-line at my knee...AND IT HAD POCKETS! XD i love urbanoutfitters. jorge looked very sharp in his suit. the dance had this cheesy titanic theme, and the music was pretty crappy, but i had fun cause i was dancing a lot and hanging with my friends. we skipped out early to go play ddr at an arcade. haha. i was so tired and my voice hurt so bad from the past nights. i got 4 hours of sleep.
...stock show. yeah seriously my weekend was super crazy. i was so grumpy when i woke up at like 4:30am the show was all.day.long. ugh it was long. my stupid nail polish couldn't survive the show though, even with 4 layers of color. my teacher didn't even help the 20+ kids there, instead, only paying attention to her family. i may sound like a bitch but seriously, she didn't even watch or help any of us show, except her favorite students and niece and nephew. i enjoyed the freedom, but when i really needed her, i couldn't find her. and one of my classes was at the same time as my other, so i had a friend show moe. shoe results: ollie 5/8, 3/6. moe 6/6 6/6. poor moe was 119 lbs against 138 lb lambs. 6 hours of sleep last night

now i have to get a butt load of homework done, as well as a speech due on wendesday, which i haven't even had the chance to start the research. this week will i will be getting no sleep

what have a been eating?!

okay, so for NHS (national honors society) i signed up for a donation project where i donated a plastic pumpkin with two bags of sugar-free candy (this was before halloween obviously). so i asked my dad to pick up a pumpkin at the dollar store and sugar-free candy if he could find any. so he comes home with the pumpkin and these "au'some" fruit strips, and most food packages say like two or three things like 0g trans fat or no artificial flavors, but nooo this one takes the cake.

-made from 68% real fruit juice puree and jucies from concentrate

-all natural flavors

-excellent source of vitamin c

-no artificial colors

-no preservatives

-fat free and no trans fat

-nut free

-gluten free

-no gelatin

-kosher

it really makes me think, what the heck have i been eating? since when are there nuts in fruit strips? but the scariest part wasn't that there was a lot of, well, nothing...it was made in china. don't worry, i got sugar free reese's and stuff instead. sadly, the fruit strips are kinda tasty.

homecoming vs lamb/goat show

who knew making a homecoming garter is so hard?! i really hate that the instructions included in the garter kit pretty much needs a rosetta stone to decipher ("doo-dads" and "charms", what's the difference?!) and the internet is surprisingly useless. and i feel bad for my date 'cause he has to make the mum (well, partly his fault for procrastination), drive me the the game and dance, deal with my parents, and dealing with me haha. but the icing on the cake is that i have a lamb and goat show the same weekend. hooray. i feel if worse for my mom who is the board treasurer and has to be at the show at 6 am both days. so yeah next weekend will loads of fun. it would be so funny if jorge (nickname for my date, long story) met moe and ollie. i can picture them with wtf?! on all of their faces. oh my gosh! in one of my neatorama emails, there was a snippet of an article about a robotic mowing sheep...named moe! haha i thought it was quite ironic

oh by the way, happy halloween! my pumpkins were beastly. 4 pumpkins, one pac-man, two dots, and blinky! XD

pic of the week (a week and a half late...)

ack! there needs to be more hours in a day. with all these tests, essays, a standardized test (emphasise on the amount of tests), and projects is driving me up the wall. though my group APUSH project was quite successful (98 bee-yotch!) and my group Scarlet Letter project went even better (all the english teachers gawked at our dimmsdale piñata) it's been crazy.

uber short summary of my lamb/goat show: my finewool-cross got 1st in his class, but nothing in champion drive; my goat was like third to last in his. it was a relatively short show, cause it was me and one other student with like 6 lambs (i can barely handle my lamb and goat, i have no idea how he does it!) anywayys, it was a good beginning of the year. tomorrow: cva training, 8 a.m. sharp, whoot. i know this sounds really pretentious, but i'm starting to get irritated that i'm the only one that already knows a lot of the information. i'm just the bitch who took a butt load of ag(riculture) classes, ffa nerd, and horse rider. I guess it's a good thing that it's like a review of the material. there has to be something good about it.

okay finally pic of the week! but really late! this week is pride...

so yeah, once again, it's easy to understand what pride is. if you don't understand, pride is having the excessive belief of one's abilities, and can be viewed as vanity sometimes. so the glass is like, "dude, look at how cool i am, and you're not...*cough, cough, loser*" ***notice the pinky. oke dokey, that's it for the pic of the week. just four more sins/glasses than i'll move on to some other random pictures. much love.
