Final Four baby.

I'm heading to NO today. See ya'll in a week.

BD.

Last night I was at the University until after 2am. And I was up at 7am today. I'm not really sure how I am functioning because I probably didn't fall asleep until like 3. However, as I looked over the social networking that occurred last night I remembered what BD said hahahahahahaha. She posted this as her facebook status: LSHMSFOAIDMT = Laughing so hard my sombrero falls off and I drop my taco.


I laughed so hard. Like what a funny thing to say ahahahaha.

I want these.

Donita

They're Jimmy Choo's.

love means giving chances when there's no chances left to give.

1. What’s a question you’re afraid to ask? To whom? 
I'd like to ask Sofaking why? How? 
2. What’s something you hide about your personality? 
How insecure I am.
3. What’s something other people think about you that you don’t agree with?
People think I am a major bitch. In may ways, I am but it's really just a wall I put up to keep people at arm's reach. 
4. How do you deal with criticism? 
Not good. But I'm harder on myself than any of you could be.  
5. What’s the sweetest thing anyone’s ever done for you? 
Brought me a vase without flowers hahahahahahahahahahahaaha. 
6. What’s the sweetest thing you’ve ever done for someone? 
I don't know, I think the little things matter more than the big. I've written a slew of letters to number twelve but he's never read them. I made him a cd about love after we broke up, that's sweet in an unconventional way. 
7. What’s something sweet you’d like someone to do for you? 
Kiss my forehead and tell me he loves me. 
8. Describe your favourite texture. 
I don't really get the question? 
9. Which national or global tragedy were you closest to and how did it affect you? 
I knew some people who died in the Tsunami a few years ago. It cost me my uncle because his wife turned crazy when her best friends died.
10. Post a photo/draw a picture/write a poem (pick one) of a moment of personal significance. 


My sister and I got matching tattoos. It was on thanksgiving weekend, shortly after number 12 and I broke up. I needed something to believe in. I wanted to be fearless. And now every time I see it, I remind myself how lucky I am and who I want to be and how I want to live my life.
11. Which fictional character would you most like to have lunch with and why? 
Harry Potter... duh? 
12. Who would you say is your “anti” role model? Someone who serves as a warning rather than an inspiration? 
I think that what I've been through with sofaking and his girlfriend KM has forced me to really think about the type of person I don't want to be. And I remember when she told people that I never got assaulted, I made it up. I can't imagine the type of person that would make something like that up, let alone that I was that type of person. I don't ever want to be like that, I don't want to be the type of person that has to create lies about my relationship and uses someone else as a defence mechanism for my fear. I understand why she did and said the things that she did, but I don't ever want to be like that. 
13. What’s your least “politically correct” opinion? 
I can be prejudice sometimes.
14. What kind of underwear do you imagine Sherlock Holmes wears? 
Hahahahahaha I have no idea. 
15. What’s one of the most difficult things you’ve ever had to do?
Tell number twelve the truth. And then come to terms with what I'd done.
16. If you were an element on the Periodic Table, which would you be and why? 
I'm bad at chemistry.
17. What’s the most infuriating thing your parents (or caregiver) do? 
My dad is really bad for losing it on you and making you feel like a complete piece of shit  then expecting everything to be perfectly normal 5 minutes later. 
18. Which Disney Princess do you most identify with and why? Which is your favourite and why?
I always liked Belle the best I think. I don't necessarily identify with one but I like the way that Belle believes in the love of her own heart instead of what other people think of beast.
19. You’re an Action Movie Hero. What’s your weapon of choice and the line you scream when defeating your arch enemy? 
Knights of Columbus (please get my Will Ferrell reference).
20. What’s the silliest fan theory you’ve ever come up with? 
Um what? 
21. What did you think about before you fell asleep last night? 
My essay, New Orleans, and number 12.
22. What’s the oddest term of endearment you’ve ever used or that someone’s used for you? 
Number twelve always called me broccoli hahahaha. And for the longest time, he didn't know my name. I don't actually think I've ever been in his phone as B.
23. What motivates you in life? 
Depends on the day you ask me. I think partly it's the way I was raised, I truly want to make my family proud of me. 
24. What was something you used to enjoy, but was ruined for you? What’s the story behind that? 
I used to really like Christmas. When my momma made a choice, things changed. And when my grandparents died, things changed more. I really like tradition and I don't have that anymore. It doesn't really mean what it used to. 
25. How do you think you will fare when the Zombie Apocalypse arrives? 
Are you being cereal?
26. Which mythological creature are you most like? Why? And if you could be any mythological creature, which would you want to be? Why? 
I'm not a huge fan of mythology. Can I just go to Hogwarts instead?
27. Write a brief story about an actual adventure you’ve had. 
O
28. Describe one of the most awkward experiences of your life. 
Recently, when RD's ex-girlfriend invited him to sit with us. Also recently, when there was a conversation about my shenanigans on facebook with other RD.
29. What’s something that scares you about the future?
I'm not ready for it but at the same time it can't come fast enough.
30. List 5 quirky things about yourself. 
1) I am so incredibly crazy. 
2) I'm 20 years old and I sleep with a blankie every night.
3) Drinking wine alone is one of my favourite things to do. 
4) Clean sheets is the best day of the week.
5) My roommate is one of my best friends. Which is unusual because he's a dude and he's five years older than I am. 
31. Describe your dream library. 
S and I discussed how we want to have neat books everywhere in our homes. I want fashion books on my coffee table and side tables. I want a library full of every kind of book. I want every classes known to man and all the children's books I love. I want couches and chairs and cushions on the ground for reading in all ways. 
32. What’s the weirdest item you’ve ever mourned? 
Probably my childhood blankie... or my first cell cell phone. 
33. If you could design an amusement park ride, what would it be like? 
A killer rollercoaster- Harry Potter theme. Holy, Harry Potter on the brain much?
34. Do you have any “rules” about food? 
I am really picky. Most of the time I follow a pretty strict schedule. Today I had beef vindaloo and I'm drinking wine... Cheat day?
35. What’s your opinion on age differences in relationships? 
I don't know. 28 was too old for me, but I think 26 might be okay. I think it depends on a lot of things, all relationships do. The people in the relationship as the most important. 
36. What’s something you want to do that you’d be embarrassed to tell other people about? 
I  really want to produce a record some day. 
37. Describe a time/event in your life that you’re nostalgic for. 
I think nostalgia can be good in a lot of ways. I'm nostalgic for a lot of things. I'm nostalgic for some of my high school friendships. I'm nostalgic for the little amount of care and worry I used to have. I'm nostalgic for nights spent with my grandparents playing board games and I'm nostalgic for Christmas Eve's with my mom's side of the family. I'm nostalgic for trips to Banff and Kananaskis. I'm nostalgic for nights with number twelve, baking and drinking wine, watching movies with his parents. At the same time, these things aren't who I am anymore, and that's okay I think. 
38. How do you approach social situations? 
I think for the most part, I try to be honest. Honest in a polite, respectful way (most of the time). I don't really go out of my way to meet new people and I'm kind of a bitch sometimes. I guess, I just am who I am and that's all I've got. 
39. What is your ideal bed? Why? 
One with a man that loves me laying next to me and a puppy at my feet. Kinda. My sister's bed is actually the greatest bed on earth. 
40. Post a short excerpt of your life.
There's no way to post a short excerpt of my life. I think that history matters. It's how you become who you are. 

From S, as always.

1: What eye color do you find sexiest? 
I like blue and green eyes when they are on dark hair but brown eyes on blondes. 
2: White, milk, or dark chocolate mocha? 
White.
3: If you could get a Sharpie tattoo on your back, what would it be?
No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dreams that you wish will come true. 
4: Did you grow up in a small or big city? Did you like it? 
It's not really a small town or a big city. It's a small town atmosphere that is becoming a big city. I love and hate that place. It's where I grew up, but I'm not sure I ever want to go back permanently.
5: Your personality as a child? Has it changed from then to now?
In some ways, I am a polar opposite. I was the whiniest most annoying kid. At the end of the day, integrity is still important to me. Once you have my heart, it's yours forever. Always has been. 
6: What kind of smoothie sounds really good right now? 
Pomegranate Protein Shake. 
7: Most embarrassing moment from your elementary school years? 
I was a pretty ridiculous child. I don't know which one to choose. Probably when my Mom was my teacher and I started bawling and she lost it on me in class. 
8: Most embarrassing moment from your middle school years? 
I was disgusting in middle school. One of my friends saw a picture of me and said, "I'm really glad you grew out of that phase". 
9: Most embarrassing moment from your high school years? 
OH MY GOSH. One of my friends, TC was in the biology class after me and we were kind of seeing each other? (I shot him down, thank gosh). But it was right before lent and for attendance Ireland always asked a question. This particular day she asked what you were giving up for lent... TC responded with sex. Ireland's response was, "Oh perfect, Baker's going to be in a great mood for the next month and a half". Like everyone I knew was in that class and made a point to tell me the story. Then Ireland told the story to my class the next day. 
10: Pirates or ninjas? Why? 
Ninjas. Pirates are greasy and don't shower. 
11: Have you ever climbed a tree more than twenty feet off the ground? 
I don't think so.
12: Did you like swinging as a child?  
YES! My daddy gave the best underducks.
13: If you could have any pet in the world, illegal or not, what would you get?
Some sort of puppy probably. AM was going to get a Bernese Mountain Dog and it was fucking adorable. I wish they'd stay that little. I'd probably get another rottie, or a golden retriever. 
14: What's your most favorite part of your body? 
I'm much too insecure with my body. 
15: What's your most favorite part of your personality? 
I'm a good friend. I try to keep my opinion to myself in regards to serious manners unless my friends ask for my opinion or I truly believe they need to see an outside perspective. I really see all sides of a situation because of my control freak analytical nature so I try to bring them to perspective. 
16: Madonna or Lady Gaga? Neither? Both? Who cares? 
Neither?
17: Have you ever watched the Superbowl all the way through? 
Yes, last year at C and J's. Somehow we got the American version so we got the commercials at res and it was awesome. 
18: Have you ever watched any major sporting event drunk? 
Define major? Probably?
19: What's the most delicious food you've ever eaten in your life? 
 I love food so much. Probably in Seattle, when I had the most expensive steak dinner of my life but it was delicious. I also love apple peanut butters, cupcakes, and mac and cheese bites.
20: Margarine or butter? Which did you grow up with? 
I don't really care. 
21: Whole, skim, 1%, or 2% milk? (Did you know they make 1 1/2% milk?) 
Skim. I find other milk too thick now. 
22: Which continents have you been on? 
Europe, North America, Asia.
23: Do you get motion sickness? Any horror stories? 
I don't think so? A girl vomited on the way to Italy and it was the most disgusting thing in the world. Also a child in my class puked on me. 
24: Backpacks or satchels? 
Clearly it depends what for. My backpack fits all my school stuff nicely but I think satchels are much more fashionable. 
25: Would you wear a rainbow jacket? A neon yellow sweater? Checkered pants? 
No. I'm not that cool. And I'm either lazy or conservative in my dressing style. 
26: What was your favorite cartoon growing up? 
Most of family channel. I liked Recess, The Weekenders, etc. 
27: If you had to have a cow or a pig, which would you take? Why? 
What am I doing with a cow and a pig? Cows are the ugliest most disgusting animals, so probably a baby pig. 
28: If you had to look at one city skyline for the rest of your life, which would it be? 
New York even though I've never seen it. Funny, right? 
29: Longest plane ride you've ever been on? 
Like 11 hours or something. It was to Japan. I still remember how sunshine and I talked 10 out of the 11 hours. 
30: The latest you've ever slept? 
When I was really anemic in grade 9, I would go to school, come home and nap, go to volleyball then come home and go to bed again. My parents had to force me to eat because I'd rather sleep. 
31: Would you buy a sweater covered in kitten pictures? Would you wear it if someone gave it you for free? 
No because cats are disgusting, hideous beings. 
32: Do you pick at scabs?
I don't know?
33: Favorite kind of bean? Kidney? Black? Pinto? 
Green.
34: How far can you throw a baseball? 
I've never measured I don't think.. I have limited upper body strength though aka my upper body is pathetic.
35: If you had to move to another country, where would you move?
New York. Or Greece/Italy. 
36: Have you ever eaten Ethiopian food? Vietnamese? Korean? Nepalese? How was it?
I don't think any of them.
37: Small, liberal arts college or big university? Why? 
Big University. If I could afford it, I'd be at a big school in the states. I always have and always will love the idea of an American college experience.
38: A relationship with love or one with sex? 
Both? Loving someone sucks when you can't physically be with someone. And I'm not slutty enough to just sleep around. 
39: Do you eat enough vegetables? 
I eat a lot, but I wish I ate more. 
40: Do you like horror movies? How about thrillers? 
Horror movies are lame but I like suspense movies. 
41: Would you scratch a crotch itch in public? 
Uh no, I'm not a dude that's not acceptable. 
42: Do you swear in front of your parents? 
Sometimes, I wish I didn't though.
43: Coolest thing you've ever been for Halloween? 
Mom and I were Piglet and Winnie the Pooh one year when I was like five and she was my teacher. But the coolest thing I've ever dressed up at is Buzz Lightyear for sure. 
44: If you could change your natural hair color, would you? To what? 
I don't think so. I'm a brunette at heart. I like adding some highlights now and again but if I go outside in the summer naturally and my hair is in the sun I actually have really gorgeous natural highlights. 
45: Most boring thing about you?
I'm actually really boring and really entertaining at the same time. I don't really do that fun of stuff most of the time but I'm pretty ridiculous at life. 
46: Do you use a reusable water bottle? 
Yep. 
47: City or nature person? 
I like going to the mountains in Banff and such but I'm definitely a city girl at heart. I don't do too well in the whole outdoorsy type things. 
48: Have you ever used something other than "makeup" as makeup? (Like paint? Markers?) 
I probably thought it was a good idea as a child. 
49: Can you walk well in high heels? 
Yes. I need to find a really tall boy so I can wear heels and look way smaller than him still. 
50: Post 5 awesome things about yourself. BRAG AWAY!

I'm not very good at this kind of thing. Not without being jokingly arrogant.

Sunday, March 25, 2012

I bet you think this song is about you, don't you.

I'm so vain. I sometimes look at my facebook pictures simply because I am that vain.

domestic disturbance.

This morning K and I were discussing the broad upstairs and how much we hate her because she is so annoying and like stomps around allll the time. We were discussing how we haven't been loud lately so we don't understand why she is sooo loud. And then she stomped more and Kevin started yelling at her. Then we realized that she probably thinks that he's yelling at me hahahaha and we have domestic disturbances all the time.
We then had a great conversation about how funny we actually would be if anyone thought we were a couple. We are seriously so ridiculous. As I'm sitting here we're talking about tonight and him going to do something and he's like ya well I might go, I might not... you know me, Captain Buzzkill. Which is funny because it's true.

I want to marry my best friend.

How'd you get it so right?
Easy, I married my best friend.

please stop hurting.

Dear Body and Mind,
I'm so sorry for everything I've put you through in the last week and a half. Give me 3 more days of a hard push and we'll be relaxing in New Orleans. It will be a wonderful relaxing time and so neat. I'll love you forever if we get through this essay.
Sincerely,
B.

my poor feet.

My feet are saying, "ahhhh thank you". They are so happy that I am not on them and they are so sore. Thus is the life of a restaurant worker, especially in high heels. I am so tired and going to bed now. Well I'm watching sex and the city actually but I'm going to bed as soon as I fall asleep. Aka in 4.3 minutes.
