twilight

So with 1) this new movie coming out, 2) jamie having read the whole series and me not being able to read her posts on them because i didnt want to ruin the books for myself, and 3) me being a fan of vampire movies and books since junior high, even if they suck balls... all of the previous facts add up to the reason that i decided to read the twilight series. in fact the first book in the series is the book i couldnt get my hands on at the library for about 3 weeks, and in fact it could be debated that i was 'stalking' this book... but WHATEVER.. i already know im creepy. 

needless to say, i finished the first book last night: twilight. i was going to buy 'new moon' at wal-mart last night but jamfla reassured me that brian had all 4 copies back and she would let me borrow them... but oops.. brian left them at home.. like a twilight series hoarder!! and the stupid library said a copy was available but it wasn't where it was supposed to be. 

anyway the point of this post is to express my opinions about the first book before reading the rest of the series, and also prior to reading jamie's opinions... im gonna try to make an unbiased review... so here it goes.

maybe its because i dig vampires, or because i havent read other vampire books in a while.. but i really liked this book. let me be clear that by saying 'i really liked this book' does not mean it was super well written, or the best book of all time, but it means i enjoyed reading it. i tried to read it with an open mind because this story (romeo and juliet, vampire and human, cinderella, or shrek) has been done a million times. i cant exactly put into words why i liked the book but i DID... so back off. dont be a hater. now im either going to go stalk the next book in the series or buy it at wal-mart. 

just curious

does anybody besides jamfla read this mess i call my blog?

24 is a kickass number

yes... it has recently come to my attention that i have been slacking on this whole blog thing... jamfla has updated like 8 times since my last chuck norris ramblings. so today i will talk about the reasons why i love the number 24.

• i was born on the 24th of the month
•  it is 24 days until my birthday
• this year i will be 24
• the above reasons make it my Star Birthday this year!!
•  there are 24 hours in a day
•  there are 24 beers in a case... its fate

i was going to list 24 things that are badass about the number 24... but i got to 13 and kind of ran out... and that's a long way to stretch so... oh well i guess.  

last night i hung out at jamfla's and i realized that i love hanging out with my friends. and i read about how she was blogging about how she misses alot of her old friends. and i kind of realize that i do not have a buttload of old friends. there is the half mexicans (sanch and nissa) from fort maddy which will always be my really good friends.. and then there is the new half mexican (jamfla) that has sneaked into my life, who i enjoy. but most of the people that i was REALLY good friends with, i do not talk to more than once a month. Celena, Kay, and Katie are all knocked up and i'm just not at that juncture in my life. Someone that I was really good friends with right after high school moved back to Georgia with her brother and I haven't seen her in 2 years, or talked to her in that long either. 

this makes me feel awful. but then i realize that people grow apart when their lives start to be completely opposite. and then again, i've always been the type to keep a few friends near and dear to my heart instead of having 800 acquaintances. i know people grow apart, especially when their lives take them in different directions. i'm just scared for the time when my current bEsTiEs and i move different directions in our lives. :(

chuck norris can lick his own elbow

i like to watch walker, texas ranger when i was younger. before it was so lame it was cool.. i watched it when i thought it WASN'T lame. which is embarassing. here is a list of some of my favorite chuck norris facts. i love this phenomenon that started a few years ago, because they are so ridiculously awesome. i have also noticed some of these same types of facts have started to pop up about michael phelps, which is also gloriously ridiculous.

7. Chuck Norris knows a word that rhymes with purple.

8. Chuck Norris can sneeze with his eyes open.

9. Chuck Norris can put Baby in a corner.

10. Chuck Norris can tear the tags off of mattresses.

13. Chuck Norris can talk about fight club.

i hate the library

it has been awhile since i've posted because my life is pretty much boring. 

i hate the library. why, you ask? because it is the birthplace of lucifer. being there is like taking me a huge buffet of wonderful food, but all i am allowed to eat are nasty ass green beans. i love reading for leisure when it is books that i choose or like. but no, everytime i am at the library i am reading for my damn thesis. and i decided last week that i need to be reading one book for leisure on the side of all my homework and shit because otherwise i might go insane. but the one book i am interested in reading right now is not available! it has been checked out for like 2 weeks. finally, a few days ago someone turned it back in (i creepily and stalkerishly check the availability of this book online every few hours) but the couple days when i go to find it, it is nowhere to be found! wtf mate?? this is why i hate the library.

and the other library (the drinking establishment on the hill) that is located right behind my apartment is also the spawn of satan. because every thursday night there is this lovely contraption that they set up called a karaoke machine. and when they sing karaoke there it sounds like someone is singing from my living room because its so close. needless to say, the library should take a suckle on my left tit. that is all my ranting for now.

FAC here i come at 4 today!!

i have nothing of worth to say

no seriously. i pretty much feel lost in life. imagine that. i just really want to be done with my thesis so that i can graduate and be done in may. but then what am i going to do? i have no idea. i am not even sure what types of jobs i could get. i was thinking about applying for a state job of some kind to maybe work for the DEA, DCI, at a prison, or somewhere along those lines. but you have to pass a lie detector test. which is fine. except you can't get hired if you've smoked anytime within the past 2 years, or if you've smoked more than 15 times in your life. and lets be serious... i will get nervous when they ask those questions and then fail the lie detector test and be forced to work the drive-thru at mcdonalds for the rest of my life.. (this is probably untrue) but i dont know what im going to do or where im going to ive.... so any suggestions??

i am a whore

i have come to the realization that i am a whore, in the dvr/tivo sense. my sister has had dvr at her house for the past few years and i have thoroughly enjoyed the perk of this amazing invention. however, i recently received the immense pleasure of owning this superb contraption. derek (my slutty roommate) dvr's one show, while i record about 12 different shows. i really just can't resist. because it's so convenient! everything is too convenient for my own good. not only am i watching hours of pointless, mind-numbing television programs; but i also get to now watch these shows at my own convenience instead of only at their regularly scheduled times. at least being a dvr whore isn't as socially unacceptable as being a crack whore... thank god.
