About the guys

I'm not sure how true any of the background of any of these MySpace surveys are, but apparently a guy wrote this one, and it was actually kind of interesting. So, because I have no blogging material, here's my answers. Feel free to cut an paste. Just leave a comment so I can see how you answered!

WHAT TYPE OF GUY DO YOU GO FOR: It varies. I like a guy who is very nice, very honest. Romantic. Chivalrous. Good looks don't hurt. Intelligence. Funny.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU LOOK FOR IN A GUY: He must make me laugh and make me feel comfortable being myself.

WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO MEET GUYS: I don't have great experience with this. I don't know.

HOW DO YOU LIKE TO BE KISSED: At all.

WOULD YOU LET A GUY KISS YOU ON A FIRST DATE: Probably not.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY FOR A GUY TO APPROACH YOU: Goofily [is that word?] lol.. I love laughing. (<-Definitely, Alyssa!)

WHAT PICKUP LINE WOULD MAKE YOU GO WEAK IN THE KNEES: Pick-up lines are cheesy. If he does it just to make me laugh, I'd probably be stuck on him immediately. Given that he's not hideous, or a jerk, .....well just see the previous answers.

WHAT PART OF YOUR BODY WOULD YOU LIKE A GUY TO COMPLIMENT YOU ON: My eyes

WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE A GUY TO TAKE YOU ON A FIRST DATE: I don't know. Something fun.

WHAT IS ONE THING YOU LOOK FOR IN A RELATIONSRHIP: Honesty

DO YOU APPRECIATE INTELLIGENCE:Absolutely. I want to be able to have a nice conversation with someone. Just don't make me feel like an idiot. too much.

DO YOU LIKE "PDA": To a point.

WHAT'S ONE THING THAT YOU'VE HATED ABOUT YOUR PAST RELATIONSHIPS [ONE THING THAT'S MADE THEM BAD]: There was no communication. When he broke up with me, he brought up so many things that had irritated him and that he had let fester. He hadn't told me that they bothered him, and that really hurt that he would not tell me that I hurt him, and then place the blame of the failure of the relationship on me.

WOULD YOU BE JEALOUS IF I HAD A GIRL BESTFRIEND: Speaking as the former best friend of a guy whose girlfriend hated me because of being his bestfriend, and as a girl who has a guy who is one of her closest friends that she can share anything with, I wouldn't. When my best friend's girlfiend would say things about how I was too close to him and how I should back off, it hurt so bad. It was like, "Hey, I was here first, and yeah, I understand your relationship with him is deeper [haha...she didn't really like him....she just used him and broke his heart] and different than mine, but lay off. I care about this guy and I'm in his life too. Just because you fell in love with him doesn't push me out totally" And I did back off, but seriously, I'm not going to shove out the other girl in his life, just because I'm there now.

Resolution Check

So, we are now a little over 3 weeks into the new year. I never last this long with my resolutions. Ever. Okay, so the vegetarianism one lasted for a month, but still, usually they never last this long. Here's what has been going on-

1. Study harder- Um, I've done about the same. In some subjects I'm doing better than others.
2. I'm going to lose weight.- I'm working on it. I don't know exactly how well it's coming. When it thaws outside I'm going to run in the mornings.
3. I'm going to work on calling people back. -This has been a complete bust. Why did I even attempt that?
4. Finish the BREAD chart for once- I'm so proud of myself. I'm caught up! 3 weeks in! I usually give up on Day 3!
5. Fast every Thursday from Breakfast until at least 3 PM- This, I will not share, because it is none of your business.

Things I Am Wondering On This Snowy Morning

1. How the muffin you guys have never heard of Heath Ledger. Seriously. Have you not watched 10 Things I Hate About You? Or Knight's Tale? Or the Patriot? (Brokeback Mountain doesn't count. I shall only focus on the fact that he met his ex-wife there and they had a kid. The movie never happened.)
   
2. Where I can find a (cheap) red dress or red skirt.
3. How ironic is it that he met his WIFE on the set of Brokeback Mountain? That just seems to contradict itself. That just hit me. The irony is not lost.
   

My Musings Over Coffee

So, I'm having one of those weeks that has kept me in perpetually deep thought for the most part. Deep thought over nothing. And everything. Some are fickle, that people roll their eyes and say "Oh, she's a teenager and will grow out of it." and some of them are huge decisions that will affect me forever.

I found out about a week ago that I had failed the second quarter of Algebra 2. I was given two choices. I could either continue Algebra 2 in a different class, which we would have to ask the principal to do, or I could move to Bridges, and retake Algebra next year, and still get a math credit for the year. No, this is not as easy a decision as it sounds. I did end up moving down to Bridges, but the whole thing was an extreme pain in the buttocks. I still don't like the idea of me wasting a whole semester.

While we're on the subject of things wrong with school, did I mention I got a D on the Anatomy Exam?

I did however, end up getting a B- on my KAP History exam. Snaps for this great blessing from the Lord most high.

I also found out that I can be starting college next year. I can do post-secondary and have a year of college done when I graduate. This actually was a no-brainer. I am so doing that.

So, because of that, I signed up for the ACT last night. In April. That scares the poo out of me. (P.S. That may have been my proudest moment as a blogger EVER).

Also, Friday, I found out that Brittany, one of my friends from quizzing, is getting married August 16. When did this happen? My friends that I used to play war games with in the lobbies of churches for bible quizzing aren't supposed to be getting married! Me and Brittany used to write letters back and forth about 9YG! When did my friends turn into grown-ups?

And then, as with all my pondering, we have the guy scene. This is just too messed up to even comprehend. I wish that I didn't like anyone at the second. Because it's a pain in the butt. And I always like the ones I can't have. Which is why I will probably be going solo to the V-day Banquet. All though people are telling me to ask one person in particular. Who would say no. And would make life extremely awkward and painful. So what else is new?

So, I'm running out of time. Bus will be here soon and my brain is still in overdrive. Possibly more later. But who knows?

Happy New Year, People!

So, this is going to be a short post, as my New Year's resolutions are requiring me to be a boring and scholarly person. Boo. Hiss. But fear not. I never keep my resolutions. I should be my same slackery self in a week or so. Maybe a month, tops.

Anyway, because you all are DYING to know, let's announce my promises-to-myself-that-I-won't-keep to the world.

1. Starting with Exams, which are next week, I am going to make a study schedule. Yes, a study schedule. Requiring me to crack a book outside of my normal homework needs. I don't know what the schedule entails yet, but I'm sure I will make it within the next couple days.
2. I'm going to lose weight. Yeah, I know, I say this every year, but I mean it. I started near the end of 2007 losing some and I'm going to keep doing it.
   
3. I'm going to work on calling people back. This sounds dumb, but trust me. I never call anyone back. Ever. It's embarrassing
4. Finish the BREAD chart for once. I say every year that I'm going to do it and never do. It's also embarrassing. So, this year, Sis.Redmond and some of the girls in the youth group are going to work together on it. Meaning, holding each other accountable for doing it. We are also going to-
5. Fast every Thursday from Breakfast until at least 3 PM. Trust me, this is sooo not as easy as it sounds like it would be. At least for me. It's not the whole day thing, but it's a start.

So, there you go. My lies....errr...truthful promises that are going to make me a good person this coming year. I'm going to go work on #1 and #4 now. Happy New Year, all!

And old acquaintance be forgot....and all that good stuff.

Christmas Radio

I've been working on my English essay all morning (I FINISHED IT!) and listening to Christmas music. So here's a break down of a few Christmas songs that I just really don't get.

"Do They Know It's Christmas?"- Ok. A band called Band-Aid did this song. It's really stupid and rather illogical, honestly. They're talking about how there will be no snow in Africa this Christmas and Do they know it's Christmas at all? Actually, no, they probably don't because a majority of Africa is Muslim and if there WERE snow in Africa, they would probably flip out.

"Christmas Shoes"- De. Press. Ing. Ugh. This little boy is buying shoes for his mom who is dying. Ruins the Christmas mood. However, if you need to watch a great movie that will make you bawl like a baby, watch the movie version of it. Really great movie, with Kimberly Willaims-Paisley and Rob Lowe in it. I watched it this week. Cried like a baby.

"Santa Baby"- If you aren't Eartha Kitt, please don't remake this song. I really hate remakes in general, but there really aren't many who can pull this song off without making it sound really..err...yeah, we won't go there.
