Mixie Would Be Proud!

So, as some of you may know...(well most of you...because I think everyone who reads this blog knows me personally) I have CRAZY curly hair. And I VERY RARELY wear it down. Well, there have been two outings now (one was a babyshower, and one was I went to see Super 8 with my dad [That was a REALLY good movie, btw! Y'all should go and see it!]) where I've worn my hair down. Granted, I had to use a boatload of anti-frizz in my hair, and a bit of hairspray, but I found that I sort of liked it...It looks kind of cute...hehe xD (I'm super self-conscious about my hair, so it's saying a lot for me to go out in public with it down for the entire outing) And wearing my hair down is something that Mixie is ALWAYS trying to get me to do...Sorry you weren't there to see it though, Mixie! We'll just have to convene at a later date so I can show you my new awesome styling skills of my hair!!

For those of you who might be curious, my hair sort of looks like this (except a bit more frizzing...xD and a little longer)

Crazy Fan Girl's Dream Come True

So, I was in Italy for the past few weeks, and I had an amazing time! I loved every moment of it! Up until the morning of the day of my flight. I was staying in the home of a girl and her family, and I came to love them very much. And sadly, the chances of me ever seeing them again are VERY slim. So it was a very sad day. BUT, the day quickly picked up when I got to the airport. Who was there but MAYDAY PARADE! My all time favorite band! And, get this, THEY WERE ON MY FLIGHT!!

I'm a little tired of telling this story so i'll jsut recap it, I got their autographs, I am now best friends with one of them, took a photo with them, and got hugs from them all. So, all in all, it made a REALLY sucky day A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! <3 They're all around awesome dudes, they were totally sweet and nice, and kept saying thank you to me, which I, of course, kept saying thank you back to. And they were totally fine with my semi-overwhelmed, fan girl, star struck attitude!

So, for all of you who don't know Mayday Parade (SHAME ON YOU!) here's some photos, a video of one of their songs, and some songs that you should listen to of theirs!

Endless Fries

So, I went out to a restaurant tonight with a couple friends, and they serve "endless steak fries" with their burgers...yet they never came and gave us more fries...(well, my friends, I was having a salad)...and it made us mad...so yeah...if you guys offer endless fries, actually give them to us please!! haha!

Vegetarian Options

So, there's this thing called being a vegetarian (which I, for all intents and purposes am.) And, for some reason, when events that provide food have a "vegetarian option" it always SUCKS.

I recently went to a graduation dinner for a family member graduating from college, and her school at the college had a dinner provided after the baccalaureate mass. They were serving a pork chop on rice with mushrooms, asparagus, and something else (I don't remember, I wasn't eating it). So, the guy comes and goes to put a plate in front of me, and I stop him and ask, "Do you have a vegetarian option?" and he says, "Oh yes, of course, hold on." Now, this guy, he was really sweet, and he went off and got me the vegetarian option. But when he comes back and puts it down in front of me, it's a plate of rice (with, like, sweet raisins in it), tomatoes, and cauliflower. Okay. Now, who's the dumba** who thought vegetarians aren't hungry people too? And that we don't like meaningful, hearty, yummy meals? Okay, that "vegetarian option" was more like a "we have a bunch of junk in the pantry, let's put it on a plate and call it a meal!" Made me mad, but of course I ate it, I was hungry, I'd just sat through a long ceremony!

But really, my point is, that often the "vegetarian options" SUCK! It's like if you have an allergy to wheat and you ask for a non-wheat option, or if you're allergic to egg and you ask for the non-egg option, etc. they always bring  some cruddy, half-a** plate of junk. It bugs me...a lot.

Nyan Cat

This, my friends, is the Nyan Cat. I was introduced to him by my cousin, whom we'll call Monkey. So, Monkey and I have a lot of weird jokes...we pretend to be goldfish for example =D. And, periodically, if one of us finds something particularly entertaining, we'll share it with the other. This was a recent video that he sent to me...it's 3 hours, 39 minutes and 41 seconds long...be afraid, be VERY AFRAID!

(Oh, and if anyone wants to be REALLY SUPER AWESOME, here's the interactive version!! It's super addictive! http://www.mofunzone.com/online_games/nyan_cat_fly.shtml)

The Rose Trilogy

So, there's this song that I've known for ages, and I though I'd share it, unfortunately the tune cannot be heard, seeing as it is just the lyrics...lol

Rose, rose, rose, rose

Will I ever see thee wed?

I will marry at thy will

Sire at they will.

Oh poor bird,

Why art thou 

Flying in the shadows

At this dark hour.

Hey, ho, nobody's home.

Meat, nor drink, nor money have I now,

But I will be merry,

Hey, ho, nobody's home.

This was the best version I could find online...except the weird final second or two, it's a pretty good version of it =) sung w/ the tune I know, too.
