I miss reading for fun. I remember when i was little, i would go to the library EVERY week. Heck yeah, i was a dork. i would take out 20-30 books a week (or whatever the maximum was) and i would read them all. My goal was to read ALL the books in the library.
in the summer times, my mom would sign us up for the summer reading club. For every book you read, the higher your name would be placed on the reading tree. Mine was always on the top (OH YEAH, i love winning). I won myself many bookmarks!!! And as a result of all my hard work, i developed poor vision and had to wear BIG, red glasses for most of my life. Sigh.
Right now, I am a big fan of Oprah's book club!! hee hee! At first, when she started it, i thought it was dumb...just another way for her to get her name on something. And I thought the books on the show would be like self-help books (i already have plenty of those sitting in my bookshelf...unread. My mom gives them to me every year for Christmas!!!!). But the books are really good!!! There are a lot of books dealing with African-American culture/issues and many written by acclaimed African-American authors (toni morrison, maya angelou). Which is good for my inner black self!! So my goal is to read ALL of them...yeah, yeah, i know, still a dork.
So if you have some, lend them to me!!! I promise to take very good care of them. I will turn the page w/o wrinkling it...I will not crease the binding...and I will not dog-ear the pages!!!

OK boys and girls. Time for my weekly synopsis/analysis of my favorite show, THE BACHELOR!!!
This week, Mr. Midwest chose 4 girls out of 6. I'd say he's had pretty good taste so far...he's kicked off the girls that i call the "eye-roll and groan, but not in a good way" girls. Once their mugs are on the screen or once they open their mouths, they elicite the aforementioned response.
For example, Heather from Texas. Is 30, but looks 50. Thinks she's hot stuff and thinks the bachelor thinks the same. She goes on a single date with him, where she goes on about how much chemistry she feels between them. Meanwhile, any normal human can see the disgust on his face. She goes in the hot tub with him, sits on his lap and proceeds to stroke him everywhere...not even noticing that he's trying to back away. She's also the girl that talks the most trash about other girls, which i do NOT like at all (nevermind that i'm talking trash about her!!!). Well, no matter, she's gone.
The girl i'm rooting for is Helene..the only brunette of the bunch. She's from NJ and is also the only girl without a southern twang. She's the one that, upon seeing a slide show of Baby Midwest, exclaimed, "you looked like a MORON in some of those pics!" HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I like her...she's my favorite.
Sometimes i imagine myself on the show. I wonder if I could beat all those girls and win the affection of the supposedly perfect male. I usually imagine that i COULD!!
what do you think?
My very good friend thinks i'm an idiot for watching The Bachelor week after week. Maybe I am...nonetheless, you can find me wednesday evenings at 9:00 PM, sitting in front of the TV with an unhealthy snack by my side, being my obnoxious self to the poor girls that did not win my affection. And at 10:00 PM, you can see me walking away from the TV, smiling, because in my mind, once i again, i have won a rose.

Great Idea #1: Sephora 6 Color Lipstick Palette
I'm not much of a make-up person. In fact, I don't even think i own 6 tubes of lipstick. But I do have 3 or 4 that i like a lot. But I hate carrying around big tubes of lipstick...it doesn't feel good...and sometimes it doesn't fit in my pocket (depending on how hooched out i am).
THe solution?? The Sephora 6 color lipstick palette. it comes with this mini spatula that you use to transfer your lipstick from the tubes into the wells in the palette. And it comes with this very cute lipstick brush. And i get to bring along ALL the lipstick colors that i own. I can probably stick some lip balm in there too. So, all i need now? 1 or 2 colors to fill up the palette!!! any suggestion?!!!

Thanks to my very (very very very) good friend, I am now a complete rocker-chick. YAYAYAYY!!! I got my ax...i got my amp...and now i can jam at home. But only at a very very low volume (the volume knob is set on 1). BOOOOO tiny apartments.
I tried learning sk8terboi, but i gave up cuz for some reason, all the tabs posted online are WRONG so it sounds bad. why do you bother putting stuff online if it's not right? Some of them even boast of their tabbing abilities..."i watched so and so perform on SNL and i'm 100 freakin % sure these are right." So i think, oh these must be right...and i play them and they're WRONG. IT's not completely wrong...just ONE little chord...which makes it SO much more annoying cuz you ALMOST have it, but you don't. You just have to not play anything for that chord and continue on. sigh...the problems of a rock-diva. HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Ok, so my first conquests will be Michelle Branch-Goodbye to you, Creed-Six Feet and Weezer-Island in the Sun. oh, and my first concert series will be in a few months...tickets are selling now. But, order now, cuz they are very few and rare (my apartment/concert arena is very small). You guys can sing along while i play, because....well...i can't play and sing at the same time. WOW! FREE karaoke with the concert...what a deal!
I have the bestest very good friend!!!

And so the hell is over...unless i have to take the exam again (please no please no please no). it went...well...sorta...certain sections. My question is, how do they expect us to answer 60 chem questions (mostly calculation questions, but w/o the help of a calculator) in 30 minutes. 30 sec. per question. It takes me 30 seconds just to read the question, pull out my 10 little fingers and start counting!
Oh, and why do they tell you that organic chemistry is on the test when there was a whopping ONE question on it ("CH3-CH3 is what organic molecule") COME ON. i studied ALL those reactions for nothing...NOTHING. ok, well i didn't really study them...i sorta skimmed...it was too boring, i couldn't handle it...so i guess it's a good thing they didn't ask any orgo questions. But still...it's the PRINCIPLE.
but aaaaaaaaaaah...now it's over...and now i can do much more productive things... like watch tv, and go online for many hours...and go shopping...and go to DANCE CLASSES...and...and...watch tv...oh, i already said that...but i'm once a gain a full fledged bum. OH YEAH!!!

for those of who you watched the bachelor this week ( i only caught the end, but i DID read the episode guide for full coverage...hee hee), lemme just say how PROUD i am of the asian girls on the show. They both asked the bachelor if he's been in an interracial relationship. He says yes (a brunette doesn't count, buddy) and then later tells an interviewer that he thinks they were just trying to make him look bad. Hmmmm....a little defensive for such a simple question, huh? Obviously, he has dated the multitudes of asians, hispanics and blacks that reside in good 'ol missouri.
But before the dreaded rose ceremony (where he gets to choose who stays) both asian girls stood up and left on their own. OH YEAH!!! So now there are only whiteys left on the show...may the best blonde win.
