You're here, and we love you for it.

Cocktails and dreams...

Holy shit, you slut, you made the call.

I can't believe I forgot about this thing AGAIN! We've had internet for dang near a month and it's the first I've checked it!

How is everyone doing? I'm doing well...rocking out my history class, that's pretty exciting. Sad Chad would be proud, haha...*sigh*...

Very little to say. Abby, I miss the shit out of you. 3 hours on a Monday in December is just not enough for me...

Oh, "The Social Network" sucked. The reviews it got are unfounded, and it is devastating that it is one of TEN Oscar nominees this year. TEN! That's a whole other rant, but the Mark Zuckerberg story blows.

That's all.

I'm outtie 5000!

Good news! I'm moving!! yay! Back to GR. Living with the Alesheia. I'm projecting to move my bed in before the 19th, so I will be able to sleep there the night of our Holiday party.

I move in steps. Since I live like 45 minutes from where I'll be living I can't just make a day of it. I'd spend most of my day driving, so today I'll go out and get the boxes of kitchen stuff that's been hibernating in the shed for the last two years. I'll drop that off tomorrow, and so on and so forth.

I have one final left next Wednesday. Algebra....wish me luck!

Skating with the Stars

Words cannot fully describe how ridiculous Skating with the Stars actually is.  Knowing what it takes to do what they are doing makes it even more painful for me to watch.  So I am going to stop.  I only gave it a shot because someone asked me what I thought.  It was painful to watch.  Isn't it a set up for a joke anyway?  Dear God, Johnny Weir, the diva of skating is a judge.  In the episode I just watched he described modern love as "Jay Z and Beyonce".  I laughed out loud.  Also, the rink is less than half the size of a regular rink.  Which means they go insanely slow and it is not impressive.  Painful, just painful.

Also, the cleaning lady that is here when I am here at night (I work overnights at the library Monday and Tuesdays), is INSANELY LOUD.  It is almost funny how loud she is.  As if she is trying to attract attention because she fucking spites everyone in the library.  Also, if you are studying in an area she wants to clean, she will stand there and stare at you until you offer to move.  Again- awkward.  So . . . painfully . . . awkward.

I'll be home soon.  Everyone prepare.

You shimmy shook my boat....

I'm in the home stretch for classes. Thank god! don't get me wrong, I love being back in school but these two classes have made me re-think my academic ability! In my health management foundations we have a group presentation to give on Tuesday. We were a group of three and then two weeks ago someone decided to drop. So it's been me and Shanicka, and she's the one that volunteered to put together the presentation. We didn't have class last week and I've been text messaging her and e-mailing her to set up a time to get together to work on this presentation. She FINALLY text messaged me today with an "I'm sooo sorry" Really?? we have to present this on Tuesday, that gives us not very much time to go over this shit and make sure we're both on the same page. Needless to say, I'm still freaking out about it.
I haven't even had time to register for classes next semester. Ugh, I feel like I've got five million things to do and zero time to do it.

Thanksgiving was pretty good. Tina and Ralph came down. Sans Kalli! I gave her a swift talking to when on Thursday! How the hell can we possibly plan a trip to Hoboken to see Buddy when she never comes to see me! We even have our cousin and great aunt that live in Florida thinking about coming along....Hager family reunion in Hoboken I say!
Thanksgiving night my mom got a little tipsy on about half a glass of "The recipe" as we refer to it. I don't know what message she was trying to convey to me, but she shouted "Do you smell my stink?" I honestly think she was trying to say "Are you smelling what I'm stepping in" but I can't be sure. Anyway, fun times.

Well, I'm off to home to shower and give my bed some company, while perhaps I watch Predator...who knows. Good night!

Old Port.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh. 


Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.  Not gonna lie, Thanksgiving remains a not-so-big-deal holiday in my book.  My parents did come to visit me, but honestly- I feel like a big let down in the tour guide department.  I don't get to explore Portland that much.  Mostly I do grad school stuff and occasionally get lucky and go out to something cool.  I don't really get to explore the town.  Even if I did get to, it would require money.  Either way, i hope they enjoyed their vacation! 


I took some sweats over to my friend Victoria's house tonight and some good movies, but as it turned out it was a serious high end vagina fest.  Don't get me wrong, the girls were nice to me, but they were not my type of people, in general.  One girl said "like" more than anyone I have ever met in my life.  They were all wearing essentially the same thing (very stylish), and I felt like the homeless butchy girl in the group.  (Side note here: anyone see that Dave Chapelle skit with the big fat friend who cock blocks?  I think it is call "Idols in Hook up history" or something?  I feel like I looked like that cockblocker.)  They were drinking wine out of glasses, as I sipped my wine every so gracefully out of a plastic cup.  Long story short- I miss my friends.  Which includes you guys.

Something strange did happen in the midst of all this.  FINALLY some sausage showed up to this painful vagina fest.  Just to clarify- everyone at this gathering went to high school together in South Portland except for me, obviously.  So two guys come in- Scott and Chuck.  They had been talking about Chuck playing baseball, but with the potential of this crowd to know anything about sports, I assumed they meant video games or in high school.  Either way, Chuck and I started chatting at some point, and I said I was from Michigan, and he said he loved and lived in Grand Rapids for a while.  Okay- I just realized this is a boring story, so i'll cut to the chase.  Chuck was drafted by the Tigers a few years ago and pitched for the Whitecaps.  So he's kinda famous.  At least in Portland and to very intense baseball fans.  AND (bonus!) he's a really nice guy.  Although he did talk some shit about Derek Jeter, which hurt my feelings.  It was probably one of the strangest googling experiences ever when I googled him this morning.  Because I have never met someone with so many search results in real life.

So there you have it. 

Now I have a headache that won't go away and a cold still lingering despite my efforts to be rid of it.  I also have a shit-ton of reading and writing to do today.  I cannot wait to be home.

That's right Abby. It's here.

Um, sorry?

We had major interweb issues at the Rachel King residence. But everything is all fixed up now, and I'm done making/typing excuses.

Cass: Hoboken is sweet. I don't know how sweet it will be in March? But I went there a few times this summer and its awesome. The PATH train to Manhattan is right there, and there's an awesome boardwalk that goes all along the Hudson. It's beautiful. It's a pretty happening place around 5pm when Manhattan unloads millions of people into it. We drove there from like 40 min away last time I was in Jersey. It's probably *less* cool when it's cold, but you'll still dig it.

Got a new phone today. By some massive stroke of luck, my phones little software issue (touch screen goes nuts) flared to the point where I couldn't use it.

JACKPOT.

So I'm rolling with a Brand New Droid now. One that was not run over by a car or dropped 5 or 6 hundred times.

Passed the second of four CPA exams. The first one I took...I read all the chapters (7), did all the problems each time, checked them, reviewed before the test, and passed.

Second one...I did 6 chapters like that (out of 20). Realized I was F'ed. Only READ through the next 14 chapters, and did a few practice problems...and took it just to see what would happen...and passed with 3 less points (85 and 82 respectively). This may be the single most awesome thing that has ever happened, with the Droid in 2nd place. 2 more to go.

Went to Buffalo for an audit last week. I learned all about rap (no, he wasn't white, but get your mind out of the gutter). We went to Niagara Falls....which is awesome and should be viewed by anyone who likes things. Side Note: It seems like Asians who speak no English have 100000% more appreciation for American Culture than red-blooded Americans. Interesting.

I also went to Hucklebuckets...and ate this:

THE DUMPER:

A full pound of certified Angus Beef, stuffed with Ultra Sharp Cheddar, 6 more cheeses, bacon, chili, 2 fried eggs over easy, guacamole, onion rings, fresh cut fries, froggy skins, jalapeno, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and our own Hucklebuckets Bar-B-Q sauce.

My photo will be posted here: http://www.hucklebuckets.com/bucket-kickers.html

because I finished it in 28 minutes :) It was an awful experience. The pulled pork was about a million degrees, and I had the meat sweats because I smashed the 1 pound patty to start. I have a good pic on my phone if you'd like to see it. She's a beaut.

Annnnd I'm gold now in Marriotts....which is like the most awesome thing ever. Executive Lounge = greatest place in America.

Oh, and Alesheia? Bang Bang Bang. :)

Good times...?

Well, here I am blogger. I really don't have anything to say; however, I'm sitting at a biggby bored out of my skull. Good news is my research paper is done, and I've just submitted it to turnitin.com.

I have Thanksgiving off this year, and I've just learned my dearest Auntie and my cousin are coming down. This makes me happy. My cousin and I probably should have been sisters. She just turned 17 over the summer, but we get along amazingly well. We're even planning a spring break in Hoboken NJ! I'm not really a fan of New Jeresey; however, we want to go to Carlo's Bakery and get a cannoli.

I'm super pumped for December 29th. I'm going to Mt. Pleasant to see Gabriel Iglasias! He's quite possibly the funniest man alive. I'm going with my brosif and his girlfriend.....Nothing like being the third wheel on an exursion I planned...I guess I'll just go work it at a bar....find a 40-year-old to buy my drinks.....*Yikes*.

Happy Thanksgiving Mostly to Jeff and Abbs of steal!

Fuck this noise!

Ummm. . . Jeff?  Are we forgetting something?  I have been checking this blog profusely since you said you were going to post, only to be let down! 

I made a new friend yesterday.  I am happy about this.  Benjamin Simcox is also back in the United States and I am happy about this, as well.  My parents are coming to visit me (this also makes me happy). 

I have a shit-ton of stuff to do before next Monday comes and it is gonna suck.  I have tried to write it all down, but it is just too much for me to fathom.  it hurts a little. 

Good story:  In my Advanced psychosocial Assessment course we were talking about diagnosis of sexual disorders.  One of them happens to be Frotteurism which is essentially when people get off to or enjoy sexual activity with nonconsenting people.  (aka- people like Alan who profusely hump others against their will).  ALSO, we discussed sexual sadism which I (for some god-awful reason) decided to give an example of in class.  Here's how it went:

Me: "OH OH!  I know a few examples!"
Unsuspecting class: "Well, tell us!"
Me: (realizing the examples I wanted to tell include butt fucking and jiz)" . . . ummm nevermind."
Class: "C'mon!  You gotta tell us now!"
Me:  "Well. . . like when a guy is . . . having intercourse. . . . with a girl from behind and he pulls out, spits on her back and . . . ejaculates on her face . . . without her expecting it . . ."
Class: (Slience).
Me: " . . . it's called . . . the  . . . houdini . . . get it? . . . houdini?"

Sigh.  I seriously need a muzzle.
