Mkay so the diet totally failed *sigh* oh well. I can safely assume i am getting workout equipment for christmas that won't upset my back to terribly so I'm not stressing.


So today I would like to mention a topic that so many girls struggle with when dealing with their significant other/boyfriend. The topic is

"Inappropriate mentions of using the restroom"

4 - "Time to go visit my office"

this is the least offense one my boyfriend says. This is the point i have reached after two years of dating. He also never fails to tell me this, he will stand up in the room grab his phone and says that line every time. *sigh* Better than what he used to say which, lucky for you, is coming up on the list.

3 - "The need to poop is linear to the distance to the restroom"

He actually said this one last night WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM A DATE. We had a nice meal at Red Lobster. At the restruant he ate an entire full sized serving shrimp linguini. Well on the drive home he kept commenting on how full he was and then he began fidgeting. I go in to worried girlfriend mode thinking he was going to be sick. I stupidly ask if he is alright and he says that line... I didn't know what to say in response. At least it was a logically way of giving me way to much information.

2 - "Spicy food is good but it is going to hurt more coming out than it did going in"

Yeah... every time we go anywhere that serves spicy food he always orders one of the spiciest thing they have on the menu. He enjoys the meal but the next day he will say this line from inside the restroom! Every time i jib him when he says this but it never stops him from dropping that little pearl of wisdom.

1 - "I need to drop the Brown's off at the swimming pool"

This is what he used to say when we first started dating. Fortunately, for the most part, he has evolved past saying this

In conclusion - boys are gross

Okay so my awesome friend Catherine recently started a diet and alas i have fallen off the wagon. I have the opposite problem of Cat, she tends to eat a little more then necessary while i do the opposite. I tend to only have one meal a day and i force myself to eat waaaay more than i should at that meal. Because of this i am eating way to many calories at once so my body is producing more fat AND by only eating once i day i do not keep my metabolism up. (a girl in my class is a nutrition major and is graduating in December so i feel this advice is accurate) So what i have to do is force myself to eat more often and in smaller portions every day. I also asked for a special workout equipment thing from my parents for Christmas since i have an extremely difficult time working out because i have a bad back(my back randomly spazes when i twist it the wrong way, it is a long story)

So here is my new step by step guide to eating better

Step 1 - before i go to bed i am going to make 2 half peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (or tune because i'm allowed to cheat a little)
Step 2 - fill snack bags with goodies like grapes or cereal
Step 3 - not be so fickle and BUY SNACK FOOD!

So now every day i eat a sandwich on my way to class, i have a snack bag for class and sandwich on the way home! that is at least 5 hours of my day where i eat small portions of food often. I'm not super worried about making all of my meals healthy but i think this will help. I already walk my roommates dog most days and i park far away for school/errands but i just don't lose weight. Hopefully this will help.

Sorry for no witty humor or what not, this is my reminder/motivator post ^_^

So Halloween was pretty fun. I went to a costume party the day before and, needless-to-say, Halloween was spent in recuperation. I can't find my pictures yet but i know they will sprout up on facebook soon enough and i can add one in here. I went as a mummy! It was super cute and all thanks to cat, she helped me construct the majority of my costume!

oh and the most amazing thing happened  few days ago... A NEW EPISODE OF GOOD EATS!!!

Not only did he do a Halloween special but he made candy corn... CANDY CORN >,<

btw it is my favorite candy in the corn family.

okay i'm spent, i only got a few hours of sleep last night because chris had the tv at a deafening 45 volume! ... my tv only goes up to 70-ish. So i am gonna try to sleep for 3 hours before class. lame only 2 pictures i know and i have the complete inability of drawing a balding chibi alton >,< he is still cute though!!

 So I was tagged in an awesome blog - http://seen-and-said.blogspot.com/

okay so skipping might not have been the best idea... turns out i skipped a test >,< fortunately my teacher is letting me do a make-up test, no questions asked. So now I have to study for that which is tomorrow at 2. I also have another make up test tomorrow from when i was sick for a week. I have procrastinated on studying so now i have 2 tests to study for. My other make-up test is at 10 am and is supposed to take at least 2 hours -_- sad times.

Therefore I have no illustrations today, sorry. Also pray for me dear readers, pray for me hard =/

so today I had a series of bad luck. I actually woke up early-ish for once and the day started pretty well, up by 10, played some computer, and then it is time to go to class... this is where the bad luck began... I shall illustrate it for clarity -_-;

first I couldn't find my cute and ridiculously comfy slipper boots...

then I couldn't find my keys. I called Chris and he said to check on top of the fridge... WHY WOULD THEY BE THERE?!

Low and behold, there they were.

Still couldn't find my boots which meant i had to wear my horribly uncomfortable, ankle bleeding shoes =(

Then every FREAKING light turned red on me. Traffic fail.

When i finally did get there I couldn't find a single parking space except for the double parked jerkface... My car was to fat to fit in a half space, it needs a diet. LESS GAS FOR YOU!

So after all that drama i simply decided to skip!

YAY!!!!!! great success! Plus by skipping I remembered to do my homework, double success!

I was pretty full of win after that.

Crazy detail I know but I need to stay awake till class at 8 am >,<

So today i had the pleasure of learning that money does not buy you a real education or anything even resembling knowledge... I was in my geography class and the teacher was explaining really basic things like erosion and rock configuration and she mentioned physical changes in rocks i.e. freeze and thaw as how rocks break up... no one got it. So here is the example she gave in class... it made me laugh so hard in my head.

to explain, rocks break up when water gets in the cracks and freezes which expands and make the cracks bigger, eventually breaking the rock. (she actually said this and people didn't get it still)

lolz, poor rock is about to become pebbles.

So now my class thinks physical erosion happens super fast.. but at least they get it *sigh* The worst part is that this is for my TEACHING geography... these people plan to be TEACHERS!!!

I worry for out future.

So doodling and then taking pictures of my doodles failed immensely, as you can see... hmmm ms paint maybe? i dunno, I;m sooooo lazy though *sigh*

So my boyfriend made the grevious mistake of buying me my favorite game on xbox... I don;t think he ever wants to play again, at least that's what he is leading me to believe.

WOOT!!! Rachel is victorious

So I found some funny WOW jokes the other day, I think I shall share them.

*If your girlfriend's panties become an epic drop.... you might play too much WoW. 

*Your momma is so fat is takes 5 warlocks to summon her 

*This Jesus guy is getting some terrible lag, it took him 3 days to respawn 

*A gnome walks into a bar. The bartender had a jar of cash and was hosting a contest to see who can make the tauren laugh, the gnome enters it and in moments the tauren falls to the ground laughing. The gnome collects his money and leaves, a few months later he comes back and there is another jar of cash waiting to collected. The contest this time was to make the same tauren cry. The gnome asks the bartender if he can have a moment with the tauren and the bartender allows him. Once again within a few moments the tauren is crying. When the gnome came to collect the money, the bartender asked how he did it. He replied, "First i told him my schlong was bigger, then i showed him it was true." 

bwahahaaha those made my day, they aren't even that funny, they just remind me that there are people out there that are bigger nerds than I am ^_^   

So on Saturday I unofficially put in my two weeks notice at petsmart. Unfortunately my boss was consistently cutting my hours. For example, next week I was only scheduled 7 hours which in and of itself is ridiculous, but then my boss took my measly 7 hours and gave it to the new girl... THE NEW GIRL!!! and her work ethics are sub par at best. I worked with her Saturday and she either complained or talked with coworkers. When it came time to close i had to leave because i was coughing up a lung and she freaked about no knowing what to do... BTW she has closed before AND all the stuff you need to do is on checklists... checklists! Damn if I was going to teach her how to read one of those.

So this is roughly how it went down...

Ta-da! Oh well... So is anyone hiring?

Random musings for today

When did people develop such an inability to give respect? People curse at police officers for giving them a ticket but then need their help in dangerous situation where that officer they disrespected has to put their life in danger for you. People mock their teachers but without them their would be no enforced education and the majority of people would be illiterate. When you work at a job for over a year with a pristine record your boss cuts your hours and new people think they are better than you. If a doctor tells you something you dont want to hear you blame the doctor instead of trying to understand. If life gives you a bad hand you blame god instead of trying to fix your own issues.
*Respect should be given to every single person you ever meet, despite rumors or things you observe until that person actively does something to YOU to damage that respect.

On a significantly less serious note, when did movies become so much less involved? I've been on an old movie binge and even the crumby movies have involving plops and amazingly dynamic characters. I watch a drama today and i just end up thinking the movie is stupid, I watch a classic drama and will go through half a box of tissue. Watch Penny Serenade and tell me I'm wrong! I'm not saying all modern movies are terrible but more than half are simply poor on plot or characters. Instead of delving in to the characters we have dramatic effects... Plot and character development, my good friends, I miss you. Where have you gone? Why have you abandoned us?

... sorry I was to lazy to do the clouds -_-;

So Tech lost to UT... sad times. It happens, just kind of sucks. Should have left Potts on the sidelines, he just can't handle being our main qb, he caves under pressure and isn't aggressive enough and he is kind of a sissy but then again i'd be scared if 5 angry dudes were chasing me, then again i am not getting a full ride to an expensive school...

Random musings of the day
Why do some people claim to HATE a university? What did that school ever do to them? When they were on campus did a stop sign lean over and bitch slap them? No. More likely they don't like a student or they were not admitted to the school, thus hatred.

Why is it that the majority of people in Lubbock who haven't an inkling of college education love UT? I mean the school is 6 hours away and i doubt 2/3s of them attended and yet it seems the city has equal numbers of tech/UT fans... this confuses me. But then again people in Texas love the Steelers. I guess they just feel that if they are t-shirt fans(people who don't attend and just wear the shirts) people might think they went there. Mission Failed.

Ta-da!

So pretty much everyone these days has a blog... even Jenny, mother-of-three-who-barely-has-time-to-think, has a blog *sigh* so I caved to the peer pressure. So let's see what my days ramblings were.


I don't understand the law sometimes. Why is it that a cop can pull you over if you turn right on red? Isn't that legal? I mean unless there is a sign saying you can't or you're in an active school zone. Is it just up to the whim of the officer? Does he think, "Why yes, I shall ruin that persons day for not good reason." This didn't happen to me or anything but there was a cop a few lanes away from me when i did this and he kinda flashed his lights at me and stared... it was creepy.

Why is it that most people hate games that are repetitive? Aren't all games repetitive in one way or another? Sure some games take it to the extreme but really all games do. You go around, fight, talk to people, do quests and shop. Rinse and repeat. The only thing not repetitive are the plot cut scenes but even those tend to be rewarded after repeating some activity such as a quest. I mean farmville still has devout followers who love the game, even if people talk shit about it... Basically this is me justifying my love of dynasty warriors, that game rocks. Spam attack! SPAM ATTACK FASTER!!! then a day for thumb recovery.

Okay for now this is it but i did a doodle of the cop, it makes me giggle, I'll post it later ^_^
