Laziness sucks

I started off so well with the daily updates! What happened!?

Maybe it’s because I kinda feel like I’m talking to myself. So, if there is anyone reading this blog, anyone at all, please take a second to type ‘Hi’ and enter, so I don’t feel like I’m wasting my time.

Anyway on to life news. Now in bullet points!

• My dogs hips seem to be getting worse
• My grandfather might or might not be paying for the house we want
• I am dating guys who can’t seem to keep their hands off me, questioning whether I am a succubus or not. As this happens ALL THE TIME.
• I got a 76 on my math test, I HAVEN’T GOTTEN A C ON A TEST SINCE 6TH GRADE WTF.

I hate Russian math professors who can’t speak English.

 

Anyway, I don’t really feel like saying anything more, so I’m gonna leave you with that little insight to my life.

Life’s little rollercoaster

So I went to the vet yesterday. She thinks Tanner might have Hip Dysplasia. Which sucks, for one, he’s only a year old, two, I’m broke, not ‘broke’ mind you, broke broke. I do not have have two pennies to scrape together. So I don’t know what I’m going to do, I don’t want my puppy to miss out on his puppyhood but I also don’t want to go below zero on my account. Arghhhh

How could I possibly say no to this cutie? So tough.

On a more positive note, things are looking up for me in my social life, I have guys to hang out with, and clubs to go to, so I'll actually have stuff to write about! Yay! Speaking of, I watched Zombieland with my dude Shay the night before last. Wicked movie, sooo funny. I definitely recommend you all check it out before the internet ruins it for you.

On the topic of zombies and what not, I’m going to a haunted house with my dude Phil tomorrow night. I don’t know what was going through my head when I agreed, but I warned him I was a gigantic wimp, I didn’t warn him however that he might need earplugs…I guess I should warn him..but he is taking me to a haunted house..meh he deserves some ringing ears for that. Muahahaha!

Finalmente, my parents and I have totally fallen in love with the house I was talking about in my last post. We’re going to make an offer tomorrow. How exciting! New digs! And my room will be in the basement, with a door leading outside at the top of the stairs, and another door that hides the stairway that’s lockable. So it’ll be like having my own little apartment. Free to sneak in and out boys who may or may not spend the night. Heheheh. It’s like the house was meant for me.

Anyway, I’ve got exams on Tuesday and Wednesday, so I better get back to studying.

Fashion is such a pain…literally.

So I had a job interview today, at a clothing store where the sales reps are supposed to be as fashionable as the clothing they sell. I’m not much of a fashionista myself but I’ll do anything to get a job, including wearing uncomfortable shoes. Now, these shoes were relatively new, I had even bought them at the store I was trying to get a job at. So I hadn’t really worn them that much or for that long. And I definitely didn’t think I’d be walking that much for the interview, walk in, walk out, bada bing bada boom. Done deal right? …Not so much. I forgot where I parked! And this mall is an outside mall right, so there’s a shit ton of parking lots scattered all over the places. So I walked for a good 15-20 minutes before I couldn’t walk anymore. My feet were killing me. I even took the shoes off for awhile and walked barefoot, but that didn’t last long because 1. it was raining and 2. people were staring. So I put the dreaded shoes back on, and decided to wimp out and ask my sister to pick me up and drive me around until we found my car. An hour later she shows up, and it takes us about 15 minutes to find the car.

So when I returned home and surveyed the damage I was more than a little shocked at what I saw. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’ve gotten blisters from shoes before, but never this bad.

 

Not for the faint of heart:

Would you just look at that monster! Holy crap! And that’s not the only one either! I had a couple bad ones on the sides of my pinky toe and big toe on both feet plus another one of those bloody monstrosities on the back of my other ankle as well. I would have taken more pictures but standing on one leg holding a camera doesn’t really fare well for the balance-challenged.

 

So. Moral of the story?

I had a shitty day, and I am never wearing anything but sneakers ever again. Period.

 

Also if you’re curious as to what the evil shoes look like here they are. They look so innocent and comfortable don’t they? IT’S A LIE STAY AWAY FAR FAR AWAY!

Brand blacked out masterfully (if I do say so myself), so that I don’t get sued for slander if someone important just so happens to come across my page and sees it. Not likely that’ll happen but, ya know, just in case.

 

I’m gonna go nurse my feet now.

All the distractions in the world can’t distract you from loneliness

So, my parents and I think we’ve found the house we’re going to move into.  It’s pretty neat on the outside, haven’t had a chance to go in till Sunday.

Neat huh? I hope we end up getting it, as it’s in a pretty nice neighborhood, and geez it’s bad ass looking dontcha think?

 

On another note, instead of having a social life, I’m trying to fill up my time with clubs. And it’s pretty much wearing me out. Here’s a list of the clubs I’ve joined:

OUAB: One of the most prestigious clubs at OSU. You have to apply and everything, but this group creates the majority of events that happen around campus. So it’s pretty freaking neat.

YAL: Young Americans for Liberty, basically a Libertarian Political Party. It’s pretty neat to be around a bunch of people with the same ideas as me. Woot.

Recycling club: Basically trying to get campus to recycle.

Psi Chi: An honors fraternity for Psychology majors/minors. It’s neat.

 

There’s a few more, but I’m not as active in them as I’ve got enough on my plate right now. I’m going to the gym for an hour in the morning before classes, then I have 3 hours of classes until 4, then I usually have a lecture/speech that my adviser advises me to listen to for about an hour, and then I have one of my club meetings that go from anywhere between 6-9. So I’m basically on campus for 9-11 hours depending on how late the club meetings go. Pretty awesome huh?

 

Man I’m beat. Think I’m gonna hit the hay.

Real estate and real life oh my.

Ohhh what a day. Went off to look at houses with my parents and had a realtor follow us back to see what he thought we should price the house at. His pricing wasn’t quite as high as we had hoped considering the area we were in, but he’s quite right, it’s a buyer’s market, not a seller’s and we must price to sell. So with that our price range for houses got just a little lower, and now my parents spirits aren’t exactly soaring anymore. They’re even considering just sticking it out here. Which I think it a terrible, terrible idea. Especially when I move out, the upstairs will become a no-man’s land, and that’s just silly.

Anyway, on a lighter note, despite the lowered price range for houses, I did find 15 that were quite lovely and were still in the area. So things might not be so bad after all.

 

After that I had an…interesting dinner with my family from my father’s side. My uncle came up from North Carolina to come visit so we decided to hang out with him along with my aunt and my crazy grandmother. Happily my grandmother decided to cancel on dinner, so I didn’t have to deal with 2 hours of listening to her whine about the various diseases she doesn’t have. Instead I had a lively conversation with my Aunts and Uncles as they teased each other and my father. I learned quite a few interesting factoids about my father, that I rather wish I hadn’t learned. But still, knowledge is power as they say. ;]

 

Off to get more power

I’m Bacckkkk

So I admit, I’m a failure at keeping these updated. However, I will do my best to try to do so, despite the fact that I’m boring as hell. So before I get back into the blogging thing I might as well update whoever reads this with what I’ve been doing in the last couple months.

1. I fixed my tattoo. It is now more tattoo-like and looks more like a Norse monster than a cute little puppy.

2. I got myself a cute little chinchilla. Her name is Arya and she’s a little wimp but she’s absolutely adorable so it all works out. I do quite like adorable things. Here’s a stock photo of a chinchilla for all y’all who don’t know

.

3. I've recently transferred out of University of Toledo to Ohio State University. It’s a better school, and it’s bigger, and I get to live at home so I get free food whenever I like, but I’m not too sure I’m digging it. I just don’t really feel at home here. But still it’s only been 2 weeks, maybe it’ll get better. I’ll cross my fingers if you cross yours.

4. Finally, I am a survivor of Swine Flu.

Damn kids.

 

So that’s it. Tattoos to swine flues, it’s been quite the summer. Lets hope the school year will be just as interesting. I’ll try my best to keep you up-to-date, and lets hope I get a lot more readers. So I’ll have more of an incentive to write.

 

Thanks for reading!
