hot mess

Last night was a huge fucking mess. Why? Because I'm a huge fucking mess. Here is what happened. My computer was delivered to my house on Wednesday and Thursday and I wasn't there because I am in school...duh. So my plan was to go and pick it up Thursday night because I had a night class on Wednesday. So last night I made plans to go running with my sister. I left Benedum and walked to her place, got changed in all of my running clothes, left all of my stuff there (cellphone, wallet, etc.) because my plan was to run to my house on darlington, then drive Meghan back to her place and go get my computer from the FedEx place in the strip that closes at 8:30. Everything was going according to plan up until the point where I get my keys and drive meghan back to her dorm. We ate dinner, watched some tv and around 7:15 I go and try to find my keys. I can't find my keys for the second time in a month. I figured that they were in my school bag in Meghan's room. Crisis begins. I start freaking out because if I didn't go and get my computer by that night, they were going to ship my computer back to HP and then I wasn't going to see my computer for at least another week. None of my roommates are home and I don't have my phone to call anyone. effffffff!!!!!! I break in to Kari Cooper's room and go on her computer, log onto facebook and frantically try to find someone who has a car that has their number posted. No one does...except for sumter and that dipshit was working at telefact so he couldn't help me out. But I got Nick's number from sumter and gave him a call using meghan's phone only to get his voicemail. By this time it was about 7:45 and I was starting to have a panic attack. Luckily he called back and I told him my dilemma and he said that he would be there in 15 min. I love him. While I'm waiting for Nick, I realize that these people are going to ask for my ID when I pick up my computer and my ID is in Meghan's room and there's not enough time to make 2 stops. After putting on my thinking cap while sitting in my thinking chair I realized that I have a passport and that would be good. Right as nick gets there I'm running out the door with my passport and Meghan and the three of us are in the front seat of his truck riding around like a bunch of hillbillies going hunting for FedEx. We get to FedEx at 8:17. Yes!!!!!! My ass is saved all thanks to Nick Andes and that manly ass truck of his. He drops off Meghan and takes me back to my house. I look at my computer and turn it on. What do I see?? The picture of my sisters and I totally shit faced on their 19th birthday. Do you know what that means? My hard drive was completely intact!!!! All of that bullshit with ordering the external hard drive enclosures was a total fucking waste of time and money. But at least I have my stuff.

Now for the worst part of everything. My keys were not in my schoolbag. I told nick that they were there. They are in my house somewhere. And that is why I am a hot mess. The shit that I've been pulling recently is out of control and totally out of my character. So stay tuned for the next asshole move that I pull.

Good news: Nicole popped a baby boy named Cole, Kole? Something like that.

Fuck you AJ

Finally Fixed!

My computer is fixed and I'm getting it back tomorrow!!!!!!! I'm so excited! I can finally feel comfortable looking at porn again since I won't be using my professor's computer. In all seriousness though, I am fucking excited!!!!

Good News: I've already showered twice this week!
Bad News: I have to do about 9000 runs of that stupid pavement design guide program over spring break. Each runs takes about 1 minute to set up, 15 minutes to run, and 1 minute to extract the data. Do that math. That's 106 hours!!!!!! FML.

I showered twice this whole week

I just wanted to share with you all that I only showered twice in the past 7 days. I know what you're thinking. Kerri is a disgusting piece of shit. I know.

the hair cutting fiasco

My hair is significantly shorter than it was this past weekend because I'm an impatient dumbass. My hair was getting straggly and I decided that it was time for a trim. The last time I got my hair cut, it was by the lovely Megan Boerio and she did a fantastic job. I asked her to do it again and she was busy and wasn't able to be at my beckoning call. So instead of waiting for her to be free, or hell, actually going to get my hair cut at a salon, I took it upon myself to cut my hair. This may seem like a crazy idea to some, but I am actually quite a good haircutter. I've cut my mom's hair, both of my sisters, my friends and my own. I cut my own hair when it was much much longer and involved cutting in a straight line. Now that my hair is shorter it's a lot harder to manage. I forgot to take this into account and decided to cut anyway.

I get a shower and go to put some mousse in my hair after I comb it out and discover that there is no mousse in my closet. Where could it be? Hmmm.....It took me about 10 seconds to realize that someone in my family stole it. It wouldn't be a family visit if something wasn't broken or missing. I say screw it and start to cut. I started in the back first and then made my way to the front. About halfway through I realized that I fucked up royally and was going to have short ass hair by the time things were said and done. Since I had no mousse and because I wanted to see how bad it really was, I decided to straighten my hair. It took me a freakin hour to straighten my hair! I look at it and it's horrendous. Back to the scissors I go. I thought that I was done chopping after that, but, ofcourse, I was wrong.

Yesterday after I showered I got out and thought that my hair looked great, a little short, but great. AJ comes over and tells me that it's a lot longer in the back than it is in the front. Fuuuuuccckkkkkk... So I hand him the scissors and tell him to just make it even in the back. He didn't comb it or anything, just cut. It was the most unorthodox hair cutting ever. The good news is that my hair is finally even. The bad news is that my hair hasn't been this short since Jessica cut it...yikes!!


Edit as of 2.25.09 8:42 am: I have to edit this blog because of what I discovered last night. AJ fucked up and now my hair is shorter in the back than it is in the front. So what am I going to do? Nothing. If I keep trying to fix it I'll be bald by Friday. The moral of the story is to leave the hair to MB (or professionals, haha).

More good news: my hard drive enclosure things finally came and I'm going to send my computer back today to be fixed finally!!!!!

I'm obsessed with this song. The word that keeps being bleeped out is "ho" ...as in "don't trust a ho"

3oh3 - New Music - More Music Videos

It's under control

I think that I've finally figured out how to deal with this insane semester that I've been having. If I get to school around 7, hours before everyone else, I can get ridiculous amounts of work done. Getting there really early puts me in the zone by 7:30. There is no one around to distract me or talk to me in the office and no one is awake so I don't get phone calls, text messages, emails, or gmail chat messages. By the time everyone else shows up to the office I'm already balls deep into something and my concentration is less likely to be broken. The only problem is that it's 7 in the morning. It's difficult to get up at 6 in order to get here by 7 and even more difficult to stay awake once the morning coffee wears off. Another disadantage is the food situation. I eat breakfast before I leave and then I'm starving again at 9:30. This causes me to eat way too much food. So the kinks are still being worked out.

This leads me to my next topic. Since I will have a little more free time at night, I need to start crafting again. I haven't done anything since Christmas and I got this brand new sewing machine that I haven't even plugged in yet. I have like 3 or 4 crochet projects that are half done, pretty fabric to make pillows and a few other odd jobs. These are all projects that are waiting to be done, i.e. no money needs to be spent in order to finish them. Which one do I do? smells like a poll!!!


by the way still no laptop......i'm waiting for hard drive enclosure #2 to arrive. if this is the wrong one again i'm gonna grab a razor and take a hot bath.

A series of unfortunate events

As most of you know, I have had the semester from hell so far. My only saving grace is my friends and AJ, of course. I still don't know how he puts up with me and my psycho mental episodes. My lack of money, combined with my difficult courses and my demanding research tasks are always there, but these things that have happened to me so far just aren't right. I'm a little afraid to actually vent my frustrations because I'm not 100% positive who actually reads this. But let me say that calling my research "demanding" is more of an understatement than saying that I occasionally consume alcohol. I have had serious anxiety all semester, so much that it's even affected my menstrual cycle.

Let me tell you about the things that have happened in the past week starting with the first.

1. I went skiing about 3 weeks ago and haven't found my car keys since then. My dad tried to send me the spare and that apparently got lost in the mail.

2. My lovely sister totally bails on me for our fuel and fuddle night when I was having a really bad day. She said that she was sick, but I found out that she was planning her spring break trip with her friends. BITCH!!!

3. My brand new, sexy computer, that I bought in December, broke last Saturday morning. I called hp technical support and the guy said that I need to send it in to get it fixed. Luckily it didn't seem to be a problem with my hard drive so I should take it out so that it doesn't get wiped when I send it in.

4. I spend the entire weekend in Benedum redoing all of my work from the previous week because ALL of my research is on that thing and if a certain someone found out that I lost an entire week of work, I would probably be screamed at until my ears bleed in the most degrading manor possible.

5. I come home on saturday night around 10 and attempt to remove my hard drive once AJ provided me with the proper screwdriver. I take the panel off, I have absolutely no idea what I'm looking at and decide to call HP again for them to help me. To make a long story short. The first guy that I talked to told me all of the wrong things and that I absolutely need to send in my hard drive and there is a 99.9% chance that it will be completely erased. After almost having a breakdown I told this guy on the phone, who was really nice, that there had to be something I could do to get the data off of my hard drive. He told me about this website that I could go to and buy an enclosure to put my hard drive in and then hook it up to a computer and everything will be ok.

6. I order a hard drive enclosure from this website after spending over an hour trying to figure out the right one to buy. The hard drive enclosure comes, and it's the wrong one. Fuuuucckkk.

7. The day that my hard drive came (wednesday), I was in school all day, from 7am to 8pm. All I kept hearing all day was how nice and sunny it was. I didn't go outside the entire time and so I wasn't able to appreciate the nice weather. I leave at 8 and not only is it pouring rain, not only did I leave my umbrella at home, but....the wind was out of control and it was blowing the rain in places that I didn't even know could get wet. I got on a bus, soaking wet, with other soaking wet people who smelled like total balls. Then I got off of the bus and started my 0.5 mile walk in wet jeans. By the time I got home, I had that oh so sexy inner thigh rash. Fast forward an hour later and I realized that I had ordered the wrong hard drive thingy.

8. Yesterday I had the absolute worst morning ever. To sum things up, Somayeh and I were screamed at like we were dogs from multiple people and nothing that we did was our fault. I had an exam yesterday and I had planned on studying for it all day. But because of the events that unfolded in the morning, I didn't have a chance to. The only great thing that's happened to me in a while happened yesterday when I was at the end of my ropes. I almost had a breakdown in school yesterday. My exam was at 5:30 and the power went off in Benedum at around 4:50. It didn't come on again until around 6:30 which was the perfect amount of time to turn my exam into a take home exam.

And the tides turn...........

I looked at the exam and I would have totally tanked it so the power outage had to be a sign from God that he still loves me and feels bad that life sucks for me on a regular basis.

Then as I was leaving the house to go to AJ's contemporary ensemble, the conductor and composer of the concert (who happens to live next door to me) walks out and offers me a ride. The show was great and I went out for a couple beers afterwards.

Yesterday was the best and worst day ever. It started out horrible and it ended great. Hopefully the tides are turning and next week will be better.

Also, manik just told me that Titanic was the most beautiful movie that he's ever seen and that made my day.

25

I've decided to jump on the bandwagon and do a 25 random things list. I've given this some serious thought because I feel like most people I know are already aware of my quirks and embarassing traits. So I tried to think of things that people don't know. This shouldn't be a surprise, but a lot of them are about bodily functions. Apparently it's all I think about.

1 One year for halloween, I dressed up like Drew Carey because I was obsessed with his show. I even convinced Korynn to dress up like mimi.

2 I blow my nose in the shower because I think the heat and moisture help clear me out -sorry meg :)

3 For years I tried to suppress my farts, and now that I don't care anymore, no sound ever comes out.

4 I love mushrooms!!!!!!!

5 I had a pair of black pleather pants in junior high and wore them frequently

6 I hate showering and unless I'm trying to look good (which is rare). I usually only shower 5-6 times a week.

7 I also hate shaving my legs. Maybe if I had darker hair it would be an issue. I probably go through 4 or 5 blades a year.

8 I'm really obsessive about being organized in all aspects of my life

9 I've been a smart ass since I learned to talk

10 I clench my butt cheeks to the tunes of songs.

11 When I was a kid, I thought that braces and glasses were so cool and I wanted to have both, but it turned out that I didn't need either.

12 I love babies and want a lot of them.

13 It bothers me that I don't care about meeting my birth parents.

14 I flew on a plane by myself at the age of 5

15 I really love to sing and I wish I was good at it.

16 When I walk down stairs and no one is around, I hold my boobs so they don't bounce. I like to think they won't get as saggy if I do that.

17 I can't wait to graduate and move back home and mooch off of my parents for a few years.

18 I have the coolest grandparents ever!!!

19 In the past couple of months I changed my diet and started eating really healthy and now it hurts every time I shit.

20 I want to start smoking weed more

21 Whenever I find a food that I like, I eat it over and over again until I get burned out. Like when i discovered pierogies, I ate them multiple times a week for an entire year and then didn't eat them again for months.

22 I need to get 8 to 10 hours of sleep a night.

23 I've never been more stressed in my entire life than I have been over the past couple of months

24 I have an entire closet full of pants that don't fit me and I can't bring myself to get rid of them incase I loose 10 pounds

25 I stole some gum from Kmart when I was 7 and my mom caught me and made me go back in the store and tell them what I did.

TRB Conference

I'm in washington d.c. right now laying in my bed at the Days Inn Connecticut Hotel. These beds are real comfy, i'm not sure why i'm still awake. I've been awake since 6am because I got up to take a leak and then I couldn't fall back asleep. bummer. So I left this afternoon at around 12:30 for d.c. and the weather was absolutely shitty. There was freezing rain, snow and regular rain for the entire trip. Everyone else in my car was sleeping so I was basically by myself navigating the treacherous roads. It was one of those trips where both of my hands were glued to the wheel the entire time and my eyes were bugging out of my head trying to see the road.

So we finally arrived and then we checked in to the conference and then we hopped on the metro and went to chinatown. I've been to d.c. 5 or 6 times and I've never been to chinatown before. I'm not sure if I saw the full extent of it or now, but if I did, then it wasn't very exciting. What I saw just consisted of a giant arch and a bunch of restaurants. After that we walked to the mall to see the washington monument and capitol at night. I've never seen it at night before so that was pretty cool.

Then we came back to the hotel. I stopped at the CVS first because I had to buy some new mousse. Let me rant about this for a little bit. So I usually use suave mousse or tresseme if it's on sale. Suave is one of the cheapest ones that you can buy and it works great on my hair. So I ran out last week and I went to the rite aid on murray to get some and they had this got2b stuff on sale buy one get one free. One bottle was $7 and so i thought, since its more expensive, it has to be better. So I bought 2 bottles of this shit and I absolutely hate it!! It makes my hair crunchy for the entire day and it looks like total shit. The suave mousse makes my hair crunchy when it's wet, but then it dries and the crunch goes away and I'm left with good curls. This got2b shit is the absolute worst. So it just goes to show you that just because something costs more doesn't mean it's better. So I am pledging my loyalty to suave mousse.

I'm absolutely exhausted so I think i'm going to pass out. But first, here is a picture of our nation's capitol.

Nothing says america like a giant penis in the sky

2009 already sucks

I only made it to day 7 of christmas break before I stopped blogging. I think this is because that is around the time when the white russians started being made 3x a day and family gatherings started to happen. This picture of my sisters and I sums it up quite nicely.


So the first day of 2009 consisted of me waking up on a couch in my basement with no pants or underwear on. I blacked out the night before, pissed the bed and woke up not knowing where I was. I spent half the day at sear's auto repair at the willow grove mall because the night before somayeh hit a curb and popped her two front tires. Fantastic. I felt like total ass the entire time. The rest of the day I spent on the couch watching shows about people who weigh over 1,000 pounds. Yikes. That night I got an email from my lovely advisor saying that the University is officially open on the 2nd and she wants to have a meeting. Really??!!?! I didn't reply or show up.

The past week has been total hell. I have 4 very real and very difficult classes this semester (as opposed to my 3 bullshit classes last semester) and I have more research and more responsibility. It's only week one and I already feel like I'm about 2 months deep into the semester. I had go to out today and get Matlab and MathCAD because I'm going to need it for my geotechnical analysis class. Later on today I'm going to a review session for Linear Algebra and Differential Equations because my finite element class requires me to relearn that crap. Well...I guess it's not crap, I'm just frustrated because all of the things that I learned freshman year, that I haven't used since then, are all coming back to bite me in the ass. I have 4 homework assignments due next week which presents my next issue.

Tomorrow I'm leaving for the Transportation Research Board Conference. It's in Washington D.C. and 10,000 people are expected to go. I'm really excited to go to the conference. It should be a lot of fun and it will be a great networking opportunity. All of my research group buddies are going and we're all sharing a hotel together. But the bad thing is that it's 5 days long!!!

1. when am I supposed to get my homework done?
2. the dress is business casual and I have absolutely zero clothes that fall into that category....fuuuuuuccccckkk!!
3. there is supposed to be a huge snow storm tomorrow right around the time that I am leaving to drive to washington

So to wrap things up, 2009 has already sucked balls and I don't see the end in sight. The good news is that my 2 new years resolutions have already made my life a little better. They are:

1. Stop eating out so much
2. limit drinking to once a week

Both of these resolutions will help with my monetary problems and fitting into clothes problem. I lost 3 pounds since I've been back in pittsburgh and I haven't wasted my money at a bar or chipotle!!

Christmas Break - Day 7

there is no blog for day 7 because it was lost due a series of drunken incidents, but here's a comic.

Christmas Break - Day 6

I left the house today!!!! I went to the mall with my mom and we almost got a picture with santa, but 1 5x7 was $15! Total rip-off! We went to 4 different stores trying to find some dark colored underwear for my dad so that the shit stains won't be noticeable when he has accidents. Other than that, the mall trip was pretty uneventful. I did some more work for school and then I got the lovely privilege of picking up Korynn from the train station! I was so excited to see her, I love my korynny!! Then she came over and we ate dinner, larry and samantha finally came home from school, we decorated the christmas tree. Within one hour of being home, larry managed to be a little bitch and throw a shit fit. He said that he was never bringing home jordan (the non-jew) because we're all assholes. While this may be true, I think that my family rocks so he can go fuck himself. Then Korynn finally got to meet A.J. through video chatting via gmail. Then Korynn went home because we're getting up real early tomorrow to go to rice's and go shopping.

The highlight of my day today (sorry korynn) was that my mom bought me all of the ingredients to make white russians! My favorite drink! So that's it for today. Here is a video snapshot of me and juliet to cap off the day.

Christmas Break - Day 5

Ah!! I forgot to blog last night. So here is what happened yesterday. I finished my work in record time (2 days). I thought it was going to take me an entire week to do. I continued with the trend of eating meals, showering, working out. I've develeoped quite a nice little routine. I find that when ever I have a routine that I stick to, time goes by so much faster. That's the plan because I want it to be Christmas!!!!!

Highlights of my day yesterday:

1. I ordered a lock for my laptop off of amazon

2. I recorded amazing videos on people's facebook walls. If you haven't gotten one yet, stay tuned. You could be next.

3. We baked 6" diameter snicker doodles.

4. I wore pajamas for the 5th day in a row

5. I watched the grinch!!!

Christmas Break - Day 4

Day 4 has arrived and it was boring for the most part with a few highlights. I made about 500 runs today so that was really productive, but that was the boring part. After putting a solid 8 hours in today, I think that it would be really great to work from home one day, maybe start my own consulting service. I just loved the fact that I rolled out of bed, ate breakfast, there was no rush. I did work for a while, ate lunch, and then I exercised, showered. It was just a really relaxed day with a lot of work being done. I dig it. Plus I got to play with the dogs whenever I wanted which was a bonus. So here are the top 5 highlights of the day:

1. Juliet jumped on the treadmill with me today when I was still walking on it at the start-up. It was really funny to watch her little legs try and keep up.

2. My mom leaned over to fart on the couch and managed to change the channel.

3. There was a Muppet Christmas special on TV!

4. All of my grades were posted from the semester and I got my first 4.0 EVER!! (not kidding, i didn't even do that in high school)

5. I convinced my mom to make 3 meals for me. Sha-wing!

Well that's it for today. Hopefully tomorrow will be more exciting but I doubt it.

Christmas Break - Day 3

Well....I spent about 4 hours last night trying to figure out how to do that video blog thing. It was such a pain in the ass. So unless there is a burning desire for all of you to see my gorgeous face, then I don't think it's happening again. Anyways......

Today was some what productive. I woke up at a decent hour. I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner. A rare thing. Then I showered. Also a rare thing, haha. Then I went to the mall because I realized that I forgot to bring my sneakers home with me. I had plans for working out when I was home and I can't wear anyone else's sneakers in this house because all of their feet are huge!! Seriously, we got some big footed women in this house. Yikes! So I went to the mall in hopes of finding some cheap shoes. I actually went to DSW on the advice of AJ and found some cute pink sneakers for $30. Whoo! Then I did a little shopping with Meghan and came home. I ran for 2 miles on the treadmill and then I did turbo jam! The ultimate body sculpting workout!!!!!! Juliet was in the basement with me and apparently didn't like the fact that I was turbo jamming and she started to freak out and she knocked me over while I was sculpting. I had to kick her out. Bitch!!

After I sculpted myself, I started to transfer 15G of music with my 2G ipod because I left all of my usb keys at school. So that took freaking forever. Then I ate dinner with my mama and then we went shopping for a christmas tree!!! Of course we decided to go when none of the triplets are here AND it's snowing and freezing outside. I suggested that we go once all the snow melts because if we get a snow covered tree, the snow will melt and get the floor all wet. No one ever listens to me (actually it's quite the opposite, haha) and we got a tree covered in snow and it flooded our living room. It looks so good and our whole house smells great!!

I finally got the email so that I can start doing this mountain of work laying in front of me. I'm taking a break from that right now because I needed to blog, but I'm going to wake up early tomorrow and get on that shit immediately. The faster I finish the faster I can sit around on my fat ass and do nothing. I'm thinking about learning the beyonce dance for Single Ladies. Maybe if I'm feeling squirrley I'll but a leotard and wear it while dancing to it. We'll see, highly doubtful though.

Well I think that sums it up for day 3 of break. Stay tuned!

I completely forgot about my love for movies done in 30 seconds and re-enacted by bunnies.

Christmas Break- Day 2

I did a live blog today. So if you can make it through the whole thing, give me some feedback, yay or nay.

And here is a you tube video of people jizzing in their pants.

Christmas Break- Day 1

Hello!!!

I've decided that I'm going to document my christmas break daily so that everyone knows what I'm up to. So today here is what I did:

This morning I went to the grandparents for breakfast and got to see all my favorite relatives. Meghan was supposed to go with me but she was too lazy to get her ass out of bed. So I sat there for a while and bullshitted with everyone. Then I left and stopped at the Best Buy at red lion and the boulevard because I wanted to get a mouse to go with my sexy brand new computer (which should be coming in the mail tomorrow).

I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY COMPUTER TOMORROW!!! I'm so freaking excited! My current computer has been a total piece of shit for years now, so it's time. I'm awaiting my computer as well as a christmas present for that special someone.

Tonight I baked cookies with my mom and sisters. Samantha decided to make a celebrity appearance tonight even though she has a final exam tomorrow. There was a classic gatti rumble while we were baking cookies. My mom was sitting on the floor in front of the sink looking for more cookie sheets and my brother went over to her and pulled his pants down, put his bare ass on her head and ripped this nasty fart. While this was going on, my dad had a broom and tried to sodomize him. After that, the rumble started and it was just a mess of punching, slapping, screaming and dogs barking. Oh family memories.

My mom brought out this delicious pear vodka from the back of the cabinet and so I thought that everyone was going to have a drink and bake cookies. So I concocted the perfect drink and was going to make it for everyone, but it turns out that I was the only one drinking. So now I'm hammered and everyone else is sober. Fantastic. At least the rumble was funnier for me.

Other than that today, I just sat around and crafted. I can't wait for tomorrow. This should be the last blog from this computer ever! Tomorrow I will be blogging from my new computer!!!

I puked the room.

I puked the bed last night. Actually that's a bit of an understatement. I puked all over my bed, my pillow, my clothes, my floor, my remote control, a picture frame, and a couple of pennies and quarters caught in the line of fire.

I went out last night at 5 to celebrate Anne finally being done with school to mad mex where I consumed 1.5 big ass margaritas, wings, black bean dip and countless chips with salsa. For those of you who are unaware of the margaritas at mad mex, each one has 6 to 7 shots of tequila. After mad mex, I went to hemingways because it was $1.50 blue moon night. I drank a few there and then kelly came to get half price with me. I ordered hummus and continued to drink beer. At around 11 (i think), I took the bus and went home. I felt drunk, but not like I was going to hurl and I certainly remember everything that happened. So I went home and went to bed and next thing I know I woke up and started projectile vomiting all over the place. I didn't get any warning. So I puked everywhere and was in no condition to clean it up, so I just left it and went to sleep on the couch. Then this morning, when I was more coherent I went upstairs to assess the damage and it was bad. I got it all over everything!! There was so much of it and it was so thick. I almost threw up again when I was cleaning it. I used that oxi-clean stuff to get the red hue out of the carpet. That stuff works really great. I'm going to give it another once over when I go home again. Oh and let me tell you about the smell, ehhhh. The entire upstairs smelled like vom. I opened up my window, turned on the fan and lit a candle to try and get rid of the smell. Hopefully now that I cleaned it the smell should start to go away.

Overall, I'm shocked and embarassed about this whole situation. I can't believe that I puked my room. That's such a rookie mistake, shame on me. I wish that I could write more, but I feel like total ass and I think I'm going to take a nap at my desk.

Jaws

For a few months now, once or twice a week I've been waking up with pain in my jaw. I just attributed this pain to my rock hard bed and $3.99 target pillows. Well, I was wrong. I went to the dentist this morning and over the last few months I started to grind my teeth. I guess because grad school is stressful or something, who knows. So that is why I have jaw pain and to top things off, I managed to fracture the enamel off of one of my teeth from the pressure of clenching and grinding. Think of it like bending an m&m. The shell of my tooth has broken off leaving behind the sensitive nerve. Ouch!!!! The solution to this problem is to get a mouthguard made for me. It will fix the jaw pain and prevent me from cracking some more of my pearly whites. The only problem is that it's $420 and my insurance doesn't cover it. She said that an alternative is going and buying a mouthguard from a sporting goods store like they use in football. That has to be the sexiest thing that I've ever heard of. I think I'm going to go out and get one right now and put it in a pot of boiling water so I can mold it to my teeth for that oh so perfect fit. I'm getting turned on just thinking about it.

I should be studying

It's 3:00opm right now and I have a final exam at 5:30. I should be studying right now, but I don't really feel the need to. I already studied about 8 hours for this exam, which may seem like a lot, but in reality it's probably the shortest amount of time I've ever studied for a closed book, closed notes exam and felt completely ready for it. Also, this is the 5th class that I've taken from this professor and if you take one class from this guy, you've taken them all! And it also helps that I'm a super freak genius...not!!

I just came back from a great thanksgiving break and I can't wait to go home again. Every time I go home I don't want to leave. I can't wait until I graduate so that I can move back. I'm seriously considering moving back in with the old farts at 42 Pheasant dr. It definitely has its pros and cons. I'm sure everyone knows what the cons are. But as far as pros go, I think it would be a great way to pay off all of my debt. If I score a good job and 100% mooch off of them for 2 years, I could probably pay off 90% of my student loans. And if I live at home longer than that, I could save up some serious money and buy a shore house. In fact, I should just stay there forever.

If I decide to move back home, however, there would have to be some serious renovations done. I was thinking about making larry's room and meghan's room into one awesome suite, but I don't think I want to do that. It's too close to where my parents sleep (if you catch my drift). So I was thinking about finishing the basement and making it into an apartment. Put a ceiling in, waterproof it and put in some carpet. I could but some real cure furniture and decorate it all pretty. I love playing with tools so it's a win-win situation. That's kind of far in advance though. None of this can happen unless I can find a job that's close enough that I can commute. I'm pretty confident that I can do that, but you never know.

When I was home, I grabbed some colorful Christmas lights and strung them around my room and it looks really cool. It's like a gingerbread house or something. I should have stolen more so that I could decorate more of the house. I'm real excited for christmas. I actually have some money this year to buy presents for people. And the people that I am buying for are pretty easy. The triplets would be happy with some bottles of booze and my dad would be thrilled with some balmex and new underwear.

I think that I should blog more often, it always makes me feel better if something is making me upset. It makes me think of all of the happy and funny things that are going on instead of all of the bad things. So here is the funny comic of the day:

Haha!! She got teabagged.

My favorite Asian

Feng is my favorite Asian. He works with me in my research group and I see him every day. During the day I spend my free time teaching him slang and obscene jokes and phrases. For example, about 2 months ago, I taught him "that's what she said jokes". Yesterday, we were all in the conference room talking and bickering and manik went to say something along the lines of "I'm coming to your office later." Something like that...anyway, he only got to say the "I'm coming" part and at the exact same moment, Feng and I both said, "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!!!!!" Now it's not funny that I said it, it's funny that Feng said it because he actually understood the joke. In another case, I taught Manik how to properly use the word bullshit. So yay for me for continuing their advancement in the English language!!


In other news Parker and I (mostly Parker) were total kleptos last night and stole a bunch of glasses from Sharp Edge. I don't feel bad because they totally ripped us off with their shitty food. They charged me $9 for a paper thin individual sized pizza. Bitches.

It's 11:38 right now, I haven't eaten, and I'm freaking starving!!!!!!!! I need to go stuff my face ASAP!!!! But first here's a little Natalie Dee
