Now I'm just being ridiculous

dont you think if you know how to put your pictures on the computer ("IN the computer?" - Zoolander) that you might take the extra effort to learn how to rotate them as well before you start posting them on the world wide web?

HOT HINT: Its the triangle thing that looks like its falling over ... click it until your picture looks right side up (ie, in most cases - face higher than groin, blue at top/green or brown closer to the keyboard ...).

getting gas in GA is a bitch right now

UGH, I didnt top off my tank when I knew there was going to be a gas shortage in GA. Thanks Hurricane Ike! Thanks to you scaredies in TX who couldnt toughen up through the storm and keep the oil flowing! Thanks a lot! You know, I didnt want to contribute to the gas shortage problem and panic and top off my tank. But now where am I? I seriously cannot find gas anywhere. There are lines to get into gas stations.

Good thing I'm going to Italy tomorrow. I'll pawn my car off on my parents and give them 80 bucks to fill up my car and get my oil changed. I dont have time for this ish. Maybe when I get back, Perdue will have brought the unhealthy gas to GA by then.

(Gov. Sonny Perdue has asked the Federal Gvt to let us use the dangerous, environment unfriendly gas until the oil refineries in TX pump up again. So I'd like to thank Gov. Perdue for this. And thank the Federal Gvt. And thank the Earth for letting us pollute her some more.)

:D

delicious

When Im bookmarking crap from the internet (its an important life I lead, no?), I really despise that "online" tag. Arent all the links online? Since your favorite non-online things dont have URLs, you cant really link them to your delicious bookmarks. And even if your favorite tree deserved its own url, Im sure www.tree.com or www.myfavoritetree.com is already taken by greenpeace or lendingtree.

Segway to my delicious link.

My online blog, have you read it?

delete your face

I dont know what the deal with this guy was at church today. But I was sitting in the foyer and this guy waltzes in all late. And he asks everyone if they've handed out the sacrament yet. And I answer and say that they've handed out the bread (helpful, no?). And he sneers and says something and gets all huffy about it. I cant even remember what was said. All I know is that he was rude as fu*k. So much as to where the girl standing next to me looks and has this WTF look in her face (that I dont even really know. So its not like she was my friend and doing it for my benefit). Now I know why no one else jumped to answer his question.

Sorry dude. Its not my fault you were late to sacrament and felt the need to spread your venom. And if asshattery comes that easily to you, then you need to work on more than just getting to church on time.

UGH! WHO DOES THAT?

Yeah. So anyways, I deleted him off my friend's list. Its the new pulling off your glove and slapping your opponent in the face. But without them knowing unless they physically looked through their friend database of people who have not slapped them gloveless and seeing if you are still on it or not. I guess.

addendum. seriously, this guy was an ass. he talked to me like i was some dude he wanted to punch bc I had just slept with his girlfriend.

It seemed like the thing to do.

At work, I felt the need to do a handstand in the bathroom.

And I DID a handstand in the bathroom.

Handstands are mood lifters.
And my mood has been lifted.

I've been answering these PHONES all day today and that is not my JOB! And no one is picking up their calls so I have to be like "Can I transfer you to their voicemail?" and they are like "Well, maybe you can help me" and I want to be like UMMM NO I CANT HELP YOU BELIEVE ME I CANT WHY DONT YOU LET ME TRANSFER YOU TO THEIR VOICEMAIL AND THEN YOU CAN GO SHOOT YOURSELF? Have a Nice Day.

The best part, the best part of waking up is _____ in your cup.

I heard Zoey scratching on my door but it was 3 am or something and I was like "girlfriend can wait!"

Apparently, I was wrong. She couldnt wait. There's nothing like smelling dog crap where ever you walk in the morning. And at first, I couldnt find it! Zoey is a big dog and the smell was everywhere. How could I not find the origin of the odor??!!

Well I found it. Thankfully (and i mean that in the most relative way ever) it was on hardwood floor. I got like 4 good handfuls of the "nuggets" before I even got to the wet stuff (a reason why I personally dont feed dogs wet dog food but whatever).

Finally I got the grabbable stuff up and then was left with what was smeared into the floor. And some of the hardwood floor doesnt meet perfectly creating cracks. And so I had to get a butter knife and scrape it all out. The smell was still horrible. Im thinking the bulk of the dog crap is put away so therefore the smell should be diminished. But apparently bad odor just exists and isnt based on mass of the crap it came from.

To make a 30 minute gag inducing story short ... thanks to Comet, that butterknife and a strong stomach, the house is free of any [seeable] dog poop. And [smellable] dog poop smell.

GOOOOO NIKI! WE'RE NUMBER ONE WE'RE NUMBER ONE!

So thats my adventures in dog sitting story.

PS. I was not mad at Zoey at all. Shes a very good dog and this was just an accident. I felt bad for her because diarrhea can be a bad thing for a dog to go through.
I mean, thats what I've read ...

if i told you once i told you a thousand times

i tell the guys in the lab this all the time. over and over again. broken record and all that.

i say: dont clean glass in the sink when there's other glass in the sink.

and what do they do? clean glass when there's glass in the sink.

i cant begin to describe how much glassware they've broken while cleaning beakers when there's glass already in the sink. beakers just need to ding another beaker and they're cracked and useless.

and the 4l beaker that was broken today ... its like 40 bucks from fisher.

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.
http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200803/single-marry
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.

Full Throttle update

So I didnt go to sleep until FOUR AM in the morning! Thats a whole hecka lot of suck.

I dont know how Ash gets so much play off of ldslinkup. That is just weird seeing how she doesnt even go to, or even like, the LDS church that much. It just adds further evidence to my bag of evidence that spirituality/LDSness seems to be low on the totem pole of what LDS guys want.

Oh and the Mentadent. GIve me a break. The white part is coming out of the right side now, but only every other brush. So not getting both active ingredients during every brushing. Suck.

soccer.

Im sorry but soccer sucks. I'm never going to play it no matter what. I have had too many pieces of sports equipment hit me in the head. I certainly dont need to throw a soccer ball in the mix.

I even made a scientific Excel chart to show how stupid soccer is.



Oh and we had free food at work today.
Thank you affluent visitors who visited our job today and made us bring catering. I felt like a vulture though ... running to the conference room to feed off of their scraps.

Bike commute

Hey so I cut 6 minutes off my bike commute. Instead of taking 53 minutes, it only ("only" being quite a relative term) took me 47 minutes. Thursday and Friday has a chance of rain, so Im probably not going to risk riding in thunder and lightning. I dont need any NDE thankyouverymuch. But if I watch The Weather Channel (local on the eights!) sometimes they give you a rundown of what things are going to look like (weather wise) (man Im using a lot of parenthesis) around 8 am noon 5 pm and 8 pm. Something like those times. And if things look clear up until 5 pm, IM GOLD (that means I am good to ride that day). Oh and I also rode listening to my iPod. FIRST TIME. So coach! I can listen to music and still hear cars whizz by! I mean, this is fanfreakintastic! I just have crap headphones that fall out of my ear sometimes. But I use them since they're longer than my iPod headphones.

Anyways. I think to commute to work, I need to be in better shape. So if I dont go commute Thursday or Friday, I must go to the gym. I can take Friday off and do yoga Saturday and Sunday. The reason why I wouldnt bike commute on Thursday and Friday is because it's supposed to rain. Falling and hurting myself is hard enough when you're dry.
Blood, sweat, tears? You think thats bad, try blood, sweat, tears, and rain.

Are you asleep yet?

Brenda was talking about how she looked dorky bike commuting. I dont think she gets that everyone looks dorky bike commuting. Especially if you do it properly. Helmet. Lycra. Bookbag. Blinky reflectors. I need a big orange triangle with reflector strips on the back and Im set.

Ugh, one vent for this morning. A driver didnt turn on her blinker. She was coming up behind me and I was about to cross over a driveway. And I saw the car slowing down BUT SHE DIDNT HAVE HER BLINKER ON!! What am I a mind reader? Use your blinker thats what its for! At least give me the opportunity to prevent you from running me over. I shouldnt have been on the sidewalk, but that street is just way to busy and I have yet to grow balls so I ride on the sidewalk during this particular part of the commute.

Oh and when I WAS on the road, it seems there was a lot more people driving past me all aggressively. I could literally see this one black lady's eyes roll as she passed me. I HAVE RIGHTS TOO!

OH YEAH! Amy is coming to church with me on Sunday! Yay! She used to always teach primary and then she got all pregnant so its not like I've had the opportunity to go to church with her for a long time. And when I was living with her, I think I was working a lot at Six Flags Over Georgia (ie, on Sundays).
So yay! Amy said something about all the "hot men" there. No comment!

UPDATE: rant

So, the right half of my mentadent toothpaste decided to make an appearance last night.

Its official. My teeth are now receiving two active ingredients instead of just one.

vent and rave

VENT: Okay so I am really annoyed with my Mentadent toothpaste. It's been 3 teeth brushings and, still, only the left side is coming out. How far do I have to press it to get the right hand toothpaste coming out?

current mood: frustrated


RAVE: Well, since only 5 profile views of my blog arent me then I think its safe to post that I am in love, L. O. V. E., with this guy I dont talk to! It's MEANT TO BE GOSHDARNITT. I look at his facebook profile like 10 times a day. It's seriously a reflex now. I want him to love me WHY WONT YOU LOVE ME EVEN THOUGH I NEVER TALK TO YOU?

/it's totally lust. or longing. longing is a better word. i'm so over lusting. thats something you do in a harlequinn romance. i'm classy. i long.
