internet dating?

if there's one thing that i don't understand about computers, it's the facebook stalkers...i don't mean people that look through everybody's pictures...who hasn't? honestly, if you say you haven't you're lying..i'm talking about the people that go through the pictures of STRANGERS, and then based on their attractiveness (or ugliness), they add (or do not add..) them as friends, depending on their looks...they then proceed to say something like this to the add-ee: "hey wut's up? i added u b cuz u r sexy!" are they thinking that they're going to find a girl/boyfriend that way? personally, i'm very creeped out by people like that, and somehow eerily reminded of ted bundy...ok maybe that's taking it too far...if they're friends of a friend, it's more understandable, but..when it's someone that i would have NEVER met outside of facebook, it just comes off a little weird..if you're trying to find a date, go to an internet dating site..i'll even help you...the top 5 on google are: www.eHarmony.com , www.Chemistry.com, MyOnlineDatingService.com ,www.directoryofdating.com, and www.match.com...so take my advice: get your next significant other from one of these sites, and stop creepin' on facebook!

antm??

in honor of my very best friend, this post is dedicated to wondering why girls (not to stereotype, but mostly of the cheerleader variety) insist on bending one leg in every single picture they take...the worst offenders of this pose also accompany this atrocious look with the awkward hand-on-the-hot-guy's-chest-like-they're-at-prom setup..does it make them look sexier if they have one leg bent? i'm no model, and i never plan on becoming a model (especially if it involves bending only one knee in EVERY picture), but i would venture a no...contrary to popular belief, it does not show off your sexy sculpted calf if you bend your knee and point your toe...the only thing i notice that happens with this pose is the non-bent knee looks grossly hyperextended...

sorry, tyra..i just don't get it..

...talk about shock and awe..

basically, people like her astound me...she is SIX years old, and she's singing that well?!?! this makes me wish i could sing...probably more than anything else..

happy st. patty's day..

..one thing that came to my attention today is that people here at byu (and people in general) take some holidays too seriously..as i was walking to my friend's apartment, i was accosted by some girl that i had never seen before, and she proceeded to pinch me for not wearing green! first of all, a stranger getting that close to me completely invades my barrier of personal space...if you're pinching me, you dang well better be one of my pretty good friends...so i'm not wearing green.. pardon me for not celebrating some obscure holiday involving little green people that benefits me none... i mean, i'm not a drinker, so i can't use it as an excuse to get plastered...santa clause doesn't visit on st. patty's day, and i don't get the day off school...so the way i see it, you can keep your little green men..

and also, the celebration of "half birthdays" at byu astounds me...isn't the point of having a birthday to celebrate the DAY you were born, not 6 months after? I think it's bizarre to have a party for some random day that has basically nothing to do with the day you were born...

Public Display of [Awkward] ahem...Affection...

a recent experience has reminded me just how ill that pda makes me feel...and by pda i don't mean holding hands or a quick kiss or something...the pda to which i am referring to happened (oddly enough) in a church building, while waiting to go to the draper temple open house...the couple in question were less sitting next to each other than on top of each other...some of the things they were doing made me wonder if they had forgotten they were in public..i felt like i had just walked in on them (..it was that awkward)..and am i the only one that notices that the worst offenders of awkward pda are the most awkward/weird couples to begin with? maybe the pda is a validation of their relationship..i don't know how they try to justify it, but all i can say is biting your boyfriend's ear in public is NOT ok..and if you have to make out, get a room..

..it made me want to *blog*..(if it doesn't make sense, go back to my first writing)..

CUTE

..this is for all the men i know that have commitment issues...seriously, if this pug can look so freaking adorable saying "i love you", think of just how much more adorable you'll look saying it (or showing it)..being human and all..

i've always made bets with people, so it will come as a surprise to nobody that i made a bet a few days ago with a friend regarding a topic that will remain unspoken...however, i will say this about the topic...it's very controversial, and is completely open to personal, er..interpretation...anyway, in making this bet, i learned the very extent of my own stubbornness...my tendency to be obstinate sometimes gets the better of me and frustrates a lot of people i know...when i'm right, (when i think i'm right...which is most of the time..and most of the time is opposite of reality..), i'm right, and there's no convincing me otherwise..i must admit however, that i was impressed that my friend matched my own my amount of headstrong opinion...he did not cave once, and we couldn't even agree to disagree...so the bet continues...and if we both continue to be stubborn for the rest of our lives, i will have a $50 bet unsettled at the time of my death...my solution? make him cave..how? no idea..my conclusion to this dilemma?

...never make bets with men and make the winning or losing of the bet hang on the opinion of his best friend...odds are you'll lose..

illiterate sports fans

as a follow up to all of those soccer videos, i have been thinking...i don't understand how so many people (people of the female variety especially) that know absolutely nothing about sports...I can somewhat understand being disinterested...i am personally not interested in baseball...but at least i know who Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth are...but when it comes to people like a girl in class last semester who asked if Michael Jordan was "that one black swimmer guy"..really, have you been living under a rock for 19 years? you don't have to know about sports to know the greats..or to even appreciate the athletic talent that sports take...or the other girl that asked me what sport the world series was...you might go ask well go ask someone the function of a steering wheel..and when i go to a football game with girls, i'd rather not have to explain that "offense" is "the guys with the ball"..and "defense" is "the guys trying to stop them"...there should be a mandatory sports 101 class in high school to save me from questions like these...

Soccer Trick Movie - Celebrity bloopers here

by far my favorite video of all these..i apologize for the language, but..it was too good to not put up...

so i love soccer...sue me..

..and better..

...and they just keep getting better :)

weatherpeople..

one thing that bothers me probably more than anything is the people that feel they need to inform me of the weather..when i am outside EXPERIENCING it...like as I'm walking home from my 8 am soccer class in shorts when it's snowing outside..i'm a semi-smart individual...i definitely know that the fluffy white stuff is snow...what bothers me is as i'm walking home, a girl resembling an eskimo points and the sky and says, "it's snowing!"...huh..so that's what's going on...i KNOW it's snowing, but i just got done with an hour of physical activity (as if my red face and completely gross hair didn't alert her to that fact)...the weird, questioning looks i can handle..even the dirty looks don't bother me...the idiots that feel they need to inform me of the conditions, however, do make me want to repeatedly beat my head against a brick wall..

the state-the-obvious contest was last week...

coming to college has shown me that i am misinterpreted...don't confuse this with misunderstood...i can make myself perfectly clear, but on a first impression basis, people misinterpret me...first of all, i'm sarcastic: it's how my family is, it's how my friends are, and (the most important thing to know) it's mostly always NOT meant to be serious...college has just gone to show me that i need to be more serious, because people don't think i'm ever kidding, which has potential to be disastrous (i have firsthand experience..not pretty). People that know me well know to only take me seriously when i'm swearing, or when the situation demands serious behavior...facial expressions are also a very good indication, and since my face can be read like a book, i think my sarcasm should be picked up on more..

A lot of times I wonder why people take me way more seriously than I intend to come off...the perfect example? my profile picture...most people put up pictures of themselves because they like the pictures..me? i think it's a funny picture..i don't think i should send it to tyra, or that i look amazingly hot in it...i actually think i resemble an overdressed hooker, and therefore am amused by this particular picture...I think this also makes people think that i am extremely full of myself, which i do not think is the case at all...i make jokes about how cool i am, but really i know that i'm a big loser...and i joke about it because i acknowledge this fact...the point to this blog?

..most of the time, i'm joking..

so i'm a blogger

I'm blogging..for some reason that word sounds like it should be associated with vomit...but since I didn't write the English language, I have to deal with the fact that someone named this activity blogging..

and for the record books, I am not a blogger by nature...nothing interesting happens to me (except for the occasional trip up the large staircase at BYU), but since my roommate Jana insisted on something exciting to read, here goes nothing..
