A recap of my life

As promised, I have an update about everything that's been going on in my life lately. In all honesty, I don't even know where to begin.

A couple of weeks ago, I was with LRog because we both had the day off so we made it a point of having all day shenanigans together. We went to Arlington to pick up her pay check from the gym and we had lunch; it was a nice, big kid, leisurely affair. We eventually came back to this side of the pond and went to Target. It's official: no matter who I go in there with, I always walk out with shit that I do not need. LRog and I were walking around the men's department because the clothes are so much comfier. I ended up buying a hoodie, a flannel button-down (I totally needed it) and some other useless shit. We left there and went to the bar, I don't even think that it was 5 o'clock yet. Nothing ever stops our party. Her friend, the Corporal, came to hang out with us. I knew who he was when she mentioned his name because I facebook stalk/investigate. Technically, I had done no wrong because he came up as one of the friends that Facebook suggested for me. Anyway, he shows up at the bar and he is hot as shit in person. He smells delicious (always a plus), he's funny, he's all around kind of amazing. He's only kind of amazing because I'm more amazing, duh. We get along really well and we agree on the same things but we always disagree reasonably (meaning that I don't want to punch him in the face for expressing a different opinion). We've been hanging out a lot lately. He was semi-dating this girl when I met him and everything that he told me about her were red flags that she was crazy. I finally got to meet her at his birthday party. Bitch was crazy as fuck, legitimately. He was already pretty much over the situation but a small part of him was hoping that it would work out. Then I showed up, wearing heels and a dress (that only happens on rare occasions) and he forgot all about that crazy bitch. Oops.

The Corporal and I hang out so much that when his boys invite him out, they assume that I'm going to come too. That's not the case; I want him to continue spending time with his boys, I'm not one of those girls that will take over his life because I want to spend all my time with him. I need my space. Can we just talk about how he took me to dinner at his parents house?! He took me to meet his parents on the same day that we slept together (oops on my part). Seriously though, he asked me and the way he said it, I really didn't have a choice in saying no. I was mildly freaking out in the car (silently of course) because I was thinking about the significance of what was about to happen. I was totally overreacting. I take people guys or girls to meet my mom all the time just because it's not unheard of for her to stop by my place randomly. I checked with LRog to make sure that I wasn't going crazy/looking too much into the situation...I was. He takes people to his parents house all the time, she's been there plenty of times. I was totally relieved when she told me that. Whatever. I'm having fun with him and that's all that matters right now.


I'm a girl and at times, I like bedazzlement. I happened to be at the mall one day and something sparkly caught my eye out of my peripheral. My legs started moving before I could even register what it was. I walked into Victoria's Secret and stood there in front of the most amazing sight ever: an entire wall of PINK football themed attire. I couldn't care less about the Redskins shit because they're not my team but there was a shit ton of of Ravens stuff. LRog and I were actually speechless at how beautiful everything was. I wanted to buy everything because it was all black and purple, sequined and amazing. I'm not made of money so I settled for half of the shit...not even kidding.

I honestly don't know of anything else that has happened in my life recently. I've been so busy with work lately that my brain is fried.

While most people are out and about on a Saturday night, I will be at home cleaning my room...finally.

It's a day for humping, confusion & me quitting smoking

So I'm confused and I would really appreciate your input on this. I was looking at my blog stats and traffic sources. I never really look at that shit and for some reason, I was very curious today. I will have you know that Christen's blog and Shane's blog are my top referring URLs and that makes me very happy. Thank you both for being awesome! There were some other URLs, I clicked on them but it said that there was an error and I had no idea why. I wasn't confused about that but I was, however, confused about this part...one of the referring links was some website that I've never heard of and I'm definitely not a member of, gothise.com. WTF is that shit, you ask? Well apparently it's a place for alternative people. Why is that site referring people to my blog? Don't get me wrong, I'll take the referrals but please help me understand this where this is coming from. Another point of confusion: this website is apparently also referring people to my blog. WTF? It's a clothing site based out of China. How the fuck is this happening?!? Either way, I'll take the referrals.

So who wants to find me another job? I am so freaking tired of working in that damn restaurant. I just about punch myself in the ovaries every time I have to go in for a shift.

Things I am willing to do:    
  • yard work
  • babysitting
  • chauffeur
  • assassin
  • street walker
Things I'm not willing to do:
  • wait tables
  • wait tables
  • work in a restaurant
  • wait tables
So as you can see, I'm pretty flexible and open to any sorts of jobs that you guys may have for me! Even though it's not my main source of income, I can't quit the restaurant until I actually have another job. I've gotten into the swing of the whole two jobs and school thing so if I didn't find another job, I'd have way too much time on my hands and that always leads to bad things. Once I finally quit, talking shit about everyone that works there is fair game. I will have a legit fucking burn book and it's going to be hilarious. This time when I leave that place, there will be no going back to work there because I'm bored or I missed it. This time, I mean it when I say that I'm done. I'm quite tempted to not show up for work tomorrow just because. 

Anyway, I'm craving sushi real bad right now. It's kind of a sick obsession that I have. 

In really important news, I haven't had a cigarette since about 3:30PM yesterday. Sitting in traffic on my way home from work really sucked because I did't have any cigarettes. I finished the pack yesterday and I decided to just quit cold turkey. I've tried to do it before but something's always come up and I've made excuses about it not being a good time. I've decided that it's always a good time to quit smoking.

Wish me luck!

Weekend Recap

This post would have come sooner but I legitimately didn't have time for it, actually doing shit wears me out! Thursday was my mom's birthday, she swears that it was her 45th. Lies. Add about ten years and you'll have her correct age but to humor her, I keep wishing her a happy 50th every year. Anyway, being the nice daughter that I am, I bought her tickets to tour Fallingwater. If you don't know what that is, feel free to educate yourself here. I think that it is, by far, one of my favorite Frank Lloyd Wright homes. It's absolutely stunning. Our tour appointment was at 8:30AM (ungodly hour) and we left my place at 4:30AM (an even ungodlier hour) because we didn't want to get stuck in traffic or get lost. We didn't get stuck in traffic but we did get lost. Mommy blames it on the incredibly dense fog but I blame it on her inability to read a ginormous street sign. Seriously though, the fog was so dense and so low that we couldn't even see the brake lights on the car in front of us. Mapquest decided to play a sick joke on us and take us through the backwoods of PA. Kid you not, we were driving on two lane, rollercoaster like roads; there were cornfields on one side and cows and horse on the other. I was totally okay with that because I like to get down with nature. But then, I happen to notice lovely Confederate flags everywhere. My mom instinctively locks the car doors and we both check our phones...of course, we had no service. The dramatic person that I am, I immediately start ranting about how the car is going to die and backwoods, inbred rednecks are going to sniff us out. They're going to come find us and then they're going do horrible things to us AND make us squeal like pigs. I've seen Deliverance and everything that happened in that movie happens in real life, duh!

Anyway, we make it out of the Confederacy alive and we get to Ohiopyle, PA. Cutest little place I have ever seen. I really need to go back there for a weekend with a friend (preferably a boy) and shack up in a cabin and do nothing, or something depending on how you look out it. Anyway, we finally make it to Fallingwater unharmed. Smart girl that I am, I had forgotten to charge my camera the night before so it died halfway through the tour. Idiot. I did take some sweet pictures with my phone though. I really took the most random pictures ever.

We got back from PA a lot earlier than we thought that we would so I decided that we were going to the gun range because I wanted to learn about the classes that they offered. I'm really glad that Mommy went with me because it was really intimidating and had I been alone, I probably would have just walked out. She was not happy to be there at all because she thinks that I have anger issues and that as soon as I learn how to shoot a gun, I'm going to go out and buy one and start shooting everyone that pissed me off. We actually had a serious conversation about it that resulted in me getting really pissed off. She actually thinks that I would physically harm someone. REALLY?!? If that's the case mother dear, then you should reevaluate your parenting skills. I would never, in my life, actually physically harm someone. I don't have the time nor do I have the patience for it and oh by the way, I was taught that hurting others is wrong. That whole conversation with her thoroughly annoyed me.

Moving on. On Sunday, I spent some much needed girl time with my friend Chelsea. We had sushi and we went to see Our Idiot Brother. It was pretty good. I'm so glad that we had girl time because we really needed to vent and get things off our chest. She's so cute, I love her.

Today, I was supposed to go to the beach with my friend Bruno and his friend Philippe. That didn't quite work out because the weather wasn't looking so hot. Instead we decided that crabs were a better idea. Since Philippe had never been to Annapolis, we decided to go there to stuff our faces. I'm from Maryland so I'll crush the shit out of some crabs but today I wasn't quite feeling all the work . We settled for a dozen crabs, shrimp and a shit ton of fried because we're cool like that. After we stuffed our faces, we decided that  going to Ikea was a good idea. Seriously, best idea ever. I love that store but I hate it when I go in there and don't have the money to buy everything that I need. I saw that couch and all the furniture that I want for my apartment. I needed to go and see that shit, now I'm totally motivated to get back on that track. After we left Ikea, we went to Coldstone because we're fatties like that. I pay no attention to college sports so I had no idea why the traffic was so bad in College Park. Turns out that University of Miami was playing UMD and that's why traffic was so bad on Route 1. Damn football.

By the time I got home and sat down on the couch, my exhaustion finally settled in. Tomorrow, I promise a picture post with all the good shit I took at Fallingwater. Until then, I'm going to catch up on my sleep.

Later bitches!!

Humpday

Today was such a blah day, I really thought nothing of it. But last night was a good night, that's probably the reason I'm having such a blah day...blame it on the 100 proof Captain Morgan rum that my BFF made me drink. She had sushi night at her house. I should have documented it but I was too busy dancing, eating her sushi and drinking. She tries to have sushi shindigs every couple of weeks. She doesn't buy the pre-made sushi, that would be so elementary for her. She likes to get creative so she makes all the sushi herself. She had a bunch of people come over and we just hung out and ate, my favorite thing to do. For the record, Mackenzie does not do well with 100 proof liquor of any kind. It always leads to complete unproductivity to the next day, it's a miracle that I'm even writing a new post. In other news, enjoy some mellow music while you read the rest of this post...


(It sounds better if you turn it up loud, I promise)

I was going through my closet this morning for something to wear to work. That's a daily struggle even though I have a fuck ton of clothes...they just need more company. I periodically go through my closet, clean it out and give the shit that I don't want to the Salvation Army. My parents say that I have a problem with shopping; it's not like I have a drug problem so relax. Summer's coming and I couldn't be more thrilled about that. My absolute must-haves for said wonderful season are funky colored bikinis, long dresses (preferably with crazy patterns), flip-flops and light sweaters. I keep spares of those things in my trunk because I like to be unpredictable and have a wardrobe to match. I was Internet window shopping and came across one that I would like to have on my person, like yesterday...

I'm hungry so I'm going to go stuff my face for the 50th time today.

Later you sexy bitches!
