Bird Nerd

(19:35:07) ME: they are so pretty, probably my favorite owl
(19:35:09) ME: http://www.mobirds.org/Galleries/images/KNickell/Barred%20Owl.jpg
(19:35:19) ME: much better than evil great horned owls
(19:35:35) Liv : i can't believe you just tricked me into looking at a picture of a barred owl

An understatement

An email I got from my dad:

"I heard Nero was challenging every dog he met; he has more courage than brains."



Oh dear, my little Napolean doesn't realize that a hawk could swoop down and carry him away.

This is the person teaching me...

My speech teacher (who is 105 years old) thinks very lowly of our generation.

Now, he wants to use a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt but assumes that none of us is smart enough to possibly know who Eleanor Roosevelt is. So he decides to inform us -

"Eleanor Roosevelt was the wife of former president *thirty second pause* um...Franklin Delaware Roosevelt"


Pardon me while I beat my head against the wall...

Marriage

I've decided that I want to get married about a hundred times. Not as in married, divorced and remarried a hundred times..but I just want to have a hundred weddings. Think about it. I would get to be the center of the attention for a whole day! I'd wear a pretty dress and have fancy hair. People would say nice things about me and my hubby all day. Plus there's dancing and cake! And at the end of it all, I get to go on a fabulous trip.

This post has been inspired by the great MTV show, 'Engaged and Underaged'.

I <3 my little sister...and squids

(17:50:23) Olivia: i officially have all 4 dixie chicks cds
(17:50:34) Olivia: we can have an extravaganza on the way to st louis
(17:50:51) Me: awesome
(17:51:09) Me: (not as awesome as squids though)
(17:51:38) Olivia: well, nothing is
(17:52:19) Me: how true

Should I take the Americorps position near Ames?

Things that...

Things that make me happy:
-recieving lessons on how to foxtrot and swing dance with Bob in exchange for letting a high school classmate crash on my floor for a night
-Boober, the yorkie, is gone for good
-Nero is happy and sits on my lap because Boober is gone
-Coffee
-Spring break in one week
-Finding new Something Corporate songs on Soulseek

Things that make me unhappy:
-Not getting the internship I wanted and trying to find another one
-Skiing when the windchill is -10F
-Knowing that tomorrow is Monday
-Snow up to my chin
-Winter

Things that confuse me:
-Here's a story - so I'm skiing in Boone late at night - I go inside to warm up and get some free pizza (yay), I go back outside to ski again a half hour later. I get to the top of the hill and point my skis down the hill...and don't move. So, I put my skis parallel facing directly downhill...nothing happens. Bob whizzes by and stops to laugh at me and behold the wonder of my nonfunctional skis. I end up pushing myself down the hill with my poles because otherwise I would have to walk down the hill. So, I go to exchange my skis for some that had been waxed within the last century - the 17 year olds in the shack act like I'm an idiot and try to send me back out on the same skis. I demand a new pair of skis and all of them refuse to give them to me..until one little boy finally comes to my rescue. I get a new pair and zip down the hill just fine....It was confusing - how can skis work one moment and not the next?

Nasonex

So, a Mexican bee just tried to sell me a nasal allergy medicine...why?
