- i left the keys in the door for the second day in the row. this morning tim wakes me up and says, "hey i put your keys on the kitchen table. they were in the door." and then he was all smart ass and said that we didnt get robbed or anything.

- i walked zoey on the bike ... she tries to be the pack leader but cant when i ride the bike. 2 wheels are just faster than 4 legs.

- i'm watching american gangster. a few things:
some of the movie, denzel washington isnt even in america. he's in thailand. and then denzel doesnt play a good drug lord. like russell crowe and denzel should switch roles (except for that whole part where russell crowe is doing the lawyer-she says "eff me like a cop, dont eff me like a lawyer"-yeah, denzel washington doing that one scene? not so much). i'm sure there's a lot more deeper stuff to say about the drug war, good cop/bad cop, commercialization, community, etc. but yeah.

- i helped someone start up their car. they called me and i totally had no jumper cables. so i asked the mexicans across the street for (OKAY WOW DENZEL JUST SHOT SOMEONE IN THE HEAD!) some and he gave me one. the black lady next door was a little too old and i dont even think she knew what a car was. so i went to my friend, the victim of the not working battery, and she told me to turn OFF my working car while we attached them. and i thought you were supposed to keep the cars ON. so i call mick. and he talks us through the process. we hooked the plus up first (thats red for all you not in the know). and then my friend's jumper cable didnt have plastic on the part where you put your hands to squeeze the jumper cables. so we had 18 bazillion reassurances that it wouldnt eloctrocute us. and we touched the metal that was exposed on the jumper cables really fast to make the inevitable shock we were expecting quick and painless. thank god, no shocks. so we started up her car! 2 women of the 2000s! the worst part though had to be taking the unexposed jumper cable off ... bc it was charged up and all connected to the cars that were running. but we unhooked all the other 3 jumpers and got the guts to take the one without the rubber protective coating on the handle off. all while both cars were still running. we threw the jumpers on the grass so they could "ground" themselves. the person i had helped was a yoga buddy, so its not surprising that we felt the jumper cables had to ground themselves. okay i talked far too long about that.

(ooh denzel just said "the loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room" bc he saw this snazzy dressed guy that is wearing pleather at a party. go denzel with your bad self.)

Note to self: dont look so gay

Christy (a coworker) and I went to the mall during lunch today.

I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and I totally looked like a lesbian! It was nasty!

I think it was the fact that Christy always looks so cute and dresses in pink when she goes to work. ANd then I have to wear pants and tennis shoes because I work in the lab (pants and tennis shoes - the minimal PPE, I guess).

So Christy - pink, hoop earrings, makeup, long blonde straight hair.

Niki - baggy pants, tennis shoes (my brown ones), a black army shirt, and my hair in a low ponytail.

I might have well had my arms around Christy or something. Ugh, I was just hideous today.

- Oh and Tim is going kayaking ...will probably turn on the AC some when Im at home bc Zoey pants really loud inside the house so its really for his dog, y'know?

- 12 people are going on my rafting b'day trip! They like me they really like me! (even though 2 of the 12 are significant others and 1 of the 12 is me and shouldnt count). I kinda hope someone is like "I cant come" so Sharon can come.

- Umm, still poor for the next 2 weeks. I am hoping I can spend 60 bucks on clothes though to satisfy my shopping needs till June 6. When I will have money again.

- Amy totally better come to church on Sunday. Flavio will be in Savannah and that will leave me all by myself (singing: dont wanna be all by myselfff anymore!!!)
sing it celine.

- funny stuff from ldslinkup.
Here's a link about settling so you can get married.

And the question that I read which led me to originally post this bullet in the first place: Is it as big of a deal when really unattractive people are able to maintain their virginity? GOOD ONE.
I posted something about 4 feet tall girls dating 6 feet tall guys and that got a lot of girls mad. I was just kidding. But its SO TRUE. OMG. Just the uproar about that one comment clearly shows the prevalence of short girls dating really tall guys! ITS LOGISTICS LADIES!! MECHANICALLY ITS JUST NOT OPTIMAL!! And its selfish because it lowers the dating pool for tall girls like me. Now tall girls have to date the Poindexters and Cletus's. Thanks short girls. Thanks a lot.
Dont even start me on the gingers. Ugh.

SarahBeth's cat Cleo is SO cute.

I saw a bowl of really A quality candy (like none of that stuff grandma's buy for Halloween) sitting in the foyer of church and I thought they were for people to take like those things of lip gloss a few months back. So Flavio was like "eat one!" bc he likes to vicariously eat things through me I guess. And I did. And then the guy who teaches Sunday School strolled up and grabbed his teaching materials by the chocolate and sits on the other side of the foyer. But he left the candy bowl there so it took me awhile to realize that - hey niki, it wasnt for you to munch on. And I felt dumb. But this other girl came by and I offered her some of the chocolate too. It's called "peer pressure" which leads to "accomplice" and if you ever do something bad, I highly recommend it because getting in trouble is so much more fun in pairs.

Monica and Ashley and I had a Mariah Carey lip sync thing at Monica's house. Cool.

We also played Apples to Apples and I lost. Both times.

I bought some Diet Flavored Cherry Chocolate Fudge soda drinks from Kroger. The fact that they were $1.50 for a pack should have told me they wouldnt taste good.

My birthday is on Monday. On one hand, Im a little bummed that Im closer to 30 years old. But on the other hand, Im happy that we're going White Water Rafting.

Im a weak belcher. I have no burping game at all.
