Blog 66: I wish monkeys could Skype. Maybe one day.

                As I sit here typing this blog, I am thinking to myself: I wish I could be doing something else right now.  Like being outside in the sun with my friends doing who cares what.  But no I am stuck in doors doing homework.  Finals week is right around the corner, and with a few papers to type and exams to study for, I am quite ready for this quarter to end.  Do not get me wrong, I have quite enjoyed this quarter and the classes I took.  Pilates was exhilarating and quite a learning experience.  Biology was fun and refreshing from my two previous quarters of chemistry.  Radiologic Sciences was extremely interesting and a great way to remind me of why I desire so deeply to become a radiologist.  Medical terminology was not the most thrilling class since we had exams every other week on over 200 medical terms, but it was interesting and I enjoyed it as well.  And then there was English 110.01.  This class was annoying at times what with blogging every day, but overall it was not a bad class and I enjoyed some aspects of it (although I know for sure that I will never want a career in English).  So all-in-all, this quarter has been decent.  And the fact that I am ready for it to come to an end has no reflection on the actual classes, but rather the fact that summer break is less than two weeks away and I am excited to be free from homework!  Well my ramblings are done for the day, so until next time keep it real. 

Blog 65: If it weren't for electricity, we'd all be watching television by candlelight...

                Having just eaten some cold pizza and drinking a glass of water, I have decided to type out yet another blog for the day.  Hmmmmmm, I am truly at a loss for what to talk about already and I feel as though this is going to become a rambling mess.  I wish I had a friend here to help me out with this blog.  Some of them are extremely good at giving me awesome topics to talk about.  If only you could read some of the things Kylie, Jess, and I talk about.  But wait!  You can for the low low prices of $19.95 (does not include shipping and handling).  Hahahaha! I am so just kidding, but let’s get serious for a minute.  I am really tired so that whole getting serious thing is just not going to happen.  I also seem to think I am funny when I am tired so I apologize in advance.  Anyways, here is a sample of our conversations.  For those who do not know from my previous blogs, Jess is currently stationed in Japan so we do all of our talking through Skype (both vocally and typing at the same time <3).

Kylie: jess is growin up

Mandy: i know im so proud

Kylie: gettin teary eyed.

Mandy: i wanna pinch her cheeks

Jess: WTF

Kylie: that is OFFENSIVE

Jess: Its military lingo

Mandy: how dare you she is a nice lady!

Kylie: as in what the fuck?

Jess: Where the French fries

Mandy: so it WTFF

Mandy: or what the fuck fuck

Jess: Smd

Kylie: small medium drink?

Jess: Combats

Jess: I mean conners

Mandy: dont you mean wombats?

Kylie: he actually just said lets get it on

Mandy: i am so not a raper

Jess: She is a graper

Kylie: chjeww?!

Mandy: yes!! that must be it

Jess: U chew u

Kylie: gotta catch them all

So that was a sample of our conversations that we have, I hope you enjoyed reading them (if you read them).  We are crazy, but more importantly we are best friends.  We love to get out of our minds together. <3

Blog 64: To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

                So it is now officially 12:51am as I am typing this blog and boy am I tired.  Working 20-25 hours every weekend, going to school full time, and trying to have a social life leaves me with little time to do anything, like have a social life.  Commuting saved me so much money this year but I lost so much time… almost 3 hours a day if you wanted to know.  Along with homework and the need to sleep every night so I don’t fall asleep behind the wheel every morning, I literally have no time left.  This is why I cannot wait for summer!  It is so close I can almost taste it.  Soon, I will have no more homework, no driving to campus every day, no classes and exams to worry about; I will only have work and my friends and family to occupy my time.  I can finally see friends that I have not seen in months and actually spend more than 5 minutes talking to them!  I will not have to say sorry I can’t hangout tonight; I have a paper to type.  Finally I shall be free to do as I please!  And trust me I shall take full advantage.  Granted I will be working 40 hours a week in a pizza shop next to the 450 degree oven, but nonetheless, I shall have more free time than I do now which excites me.  So this has become a pointless ramble and if you are still with me after all that then congratulations, you deserve a cookie.  Unfortunately I do not have one, but job well done!

Blog 63: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.

                It’s just one more day in my life, and this is just one more post to add on to my blog.  I really am running short of things to talk about yet I keep typing.  I really have nothing to say but this is my blog so I can talk about anything correct?  Correct.  So to make things pass by and to give this blog so definition and actually interesting content, I am going to combine my favorite quotes!:)  So let’s get started shall we?

        1.       I wasn’t fired form my job; I was laid off, but you wouldn’t know the difference.  I didn’t want salmon… I said it four times!

       2.       Well I’m not going to. Ever. Even if there’s a fire!

       3.       Here’s a situation for you dad.  Suppose Nancy sees me coming out of the shower and decides to come on to me. I'm looking good, got a luscious v of hair going through my chest pubes down to my ball fro. She takes one look at me and goes " Oh my god, I've had the old bull now I want the young calf" and she grabs me by the weiner.

       4.       Nancy: You yelled "rape" at the top of your lungs.

Brennan: Mom, I honestly thought I was gonna be raped for a second. He had the craziest look in his eyes, and at one point he said, "Lets get it on."

Dale: That was about the fight. I am so not a raper!

      5.       Okay, here's the shot out of the cannon: Oprah, Barbara Walters, your wife. You gotta fuck one, marry one, kill on… go!

      6.       Not at the table Carlos.

      7.       Tigers love pepper. They hate cinnamon.

      8.       It's where I keep all my things. Get a lot of compliments on this. Plus it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.

       9.       Four of us wolves, running around the desert together, in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine.

      10.   What are you talking about? I've found a baby before.

       11.   Okay, well, maybe we should tell that to Rain Man, because he practically bankrupt a casino, and he was a ra-tard.

       12.   Your language is offensive.

So that was just a few of my favorite quotes, from Step Brothers and The Hangover.  Anyways hope you enjoyed my ramblings.

Blog 62: And I just can't keep living this way... So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage... I'm standing up, Imma face my demons...

                How many people have that one thing they are terrified of?  I am talking huge fear; it could put you into the fetal position in ten seconds flat.  Well I would consider a fear this big to be a phobia… although the true definition of phobia has a bit more to it.  And yes, I have looked up the definition of a phobia before, mainly because I am pretty sure I have one, Coulrophobia to be more exact.  Coulrophobia is the fear of clowns.  And as I have said before, I have researched the term phobia.  To be considered a phobia, you must not only fear the thing in question, but also realize that, to some extent, the fear is irrational.  I completely see that being afraid of clowns is downright silly; what could they possibly do to me besides make me laugh?  Well to be honest they do not make me laugh, but they do make me cry.  I cannot be around clowns not matter how safe it may seem, I cannot do it.  My friends find this hilarious and have helped make me cry quite a few times actually.  We go to haunted houses and men with chainsaws do nothing but annoy me.  You make me go through one with nothing but clowns and I am grasping the nearest person’s arm screaming and crying.  On one such occasion, my friends (being the awesome people they are) decided to tell the clown my name.  It followed me around touching my shoulder and whispering my name.  I lost it and was practically hysterical.  Any time I hear circus music I start to shake and my heart races.  I know it is an irrational fear but I cannot shake it.

Oh and props to anyone who knows where I got the quote for this title without searching for it:) hahahaha

Blog 61: If you can't convince 'em, confuse 'em....

                Democracy.  It is an interesting topic and one that I have very strong opinions on.  I am a person who is very opinionated but I will listen to the other side of the argument.  There are several varieties of democracy, some of which provide better representation and more freedom for their citizens than others.  However, if any democracy is not structured so as to prohibit the government from excluding the people from the legislative process, or any branch of government from altering the separation of powers in its own favor, then a branch of the system can accumulate too much power and destroy the democracy.  I believe in democracy and the only reason I am writing about it now is because people are trying to change ours.  Honestly, I do not want it to change!  It may be flawed in some areas but the changes being proposed now will make it even worse… and of the other types of governments out there, democracy is by far the most efficient and just.  All of this is solely in my opinion of course, and I will listen to other people’s opinions as well as long as you don’t try to dis me for what I believe in.  I am an open-minded person until people try to belittle me for what I believe in.  That is where I draw the line and I will not listen to you any longer.  So to wrap this up, tell me if you believe in democracy or if you think we should become more like the French.  Meaning, have a socialistic government and pay way to much in taxes.
